[01:09] anyone got any suggestions , if i run "nmap 192.188.2.1" on command line my kernel panics. done it twice in a row now [01:09] sloucher: me-tv is a GNOME one not listed there [01:09] i need help for installing flashplugin for my hardy heron [01:09] oshin: install the flashplugin-nonfree package [01:09] the ip address is my router [01:09] cool thank you LjL [01:09] is there any wat to install guild wars from the terminall? [01:09] i have write sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree but [01:09] cannot [01:09] D_MAN: I have no experiences with it, but you could ask in #winehq, if wine installs it [01:09] anyone know when Openoffice 3 is going to be available for ibex? [01:09] * jrib is in suspense [01:09] oshin you can join #seaphor for 1-1 help on flash [01:10] ok thanks [01:10] oshin: cannot what? [01:10] jrib, "E: Couldn't find package emerald-theme-manager" [01:10] PsiKloPx:I think you can d/l an install it, like formerly in hardy [01:10] tsrk: try apt-cache search emerald for hints [01:11] i just tried to install vista after insatlling ubuntu and it of course wiped out grub, but I go to reinstall it and it says neither (hd0,4) or hd(0,5) does exist when I try to reinstall grub, also the menu.lst uses uuid rather than 'root' method for identifing hard drives, which is new to me. [01:11] i found "emerald", but I saw no way to apply the themes [01:11] tsrk: run emerald-theme-manager... [01:11] I am using hardy. I would like to use an updated version of a package (libsqlite3, sqlite3, and libsqlite3-dev). Intrepid provides a sufficiently new version. Is there any sensible way to use intrepid's versions of those packages without upgrading my entire system to intrepid? [01:11] tsrk: and make emerald your decorator in your compiz settings [01:12] anyone got any advice on getting info on a kernel crash, if i nmap my router the kernel panics , yep "nmap 192.168.2.1 " causes 8.04 to crash!!! [01:12] mdhancher: any particular reason for not wanting to upgrade? [01:12] Awsoon:the find-cmd of grub didn't work ? [01:12] why isn't it available in synaptic yet? [01:12] I got an install issue with Ubuntu, any one able to help ? [01:12] jrib, Sorry, I'm really quite clueless about all this, one more thing, how do I use the cube thing in compiz-fusion?

[01:13] mdhancer: you MIGHT be able to install it manually, perhaps from source, but it would probably end up very messy [01:13] wsgordon: capslock on? [01:13] Awsoonn: can pm me for asistance, use first link [01:13] i'd build the package myself, but i haven't found a good description of how to deal with building a complex set of packages (binary, library, and dev) like that. [01:14] hello my fellow Ubuntuers! I come from the future with great news. [01:14] mdhancher: google for debian new developer guide [01:14] Bsims nope [01:14] Evening, I wonder, did anyone else experience notes dissapearing from tomboy? [01:14] Bsims there is a lot of overhead running a os on top of a os. You can adjust the guest os settings to lighten it up - but it's still a lot. [01:14] i can definitely install it from source, and it will work fine, but someday in the future it will collide with apt-get upgrade or something and i will be sad. [01:14] DasEi: that looks promising indeed, thank you very much. [01:14] Marfi: let me guess, Windows still commands the vast majority of desktops? :) [01:14] sloucher: Hrm I was considering it as an alternative to wine [01:14] Marfi: I am going to save a ton of money on my car insurance? [01:14] bsims - it works great [01:14] Songbird is now 3.0 and has over taken iTunes, microsoft just hopped on the open source band wagon (you still have to pay though, and it sucks) and Ubuntu is the default OS! [01:14] bsims - try it [01:15] i've found plenty of new developer guides. they all talk about how to build fairly simple packages. i haven't found anything that addresses building more sophisticated package sets. :( [01:15] sloucher: I was wanting it for games... and fallout 3 is rated a bronze to silver [01:15] maybe i'm missing somethign obvious? [01:15] GFree, yes, but they are open source now. talntid no, because geico ended in 2009 due to the market crash [01:15] mdhancher: assuming hardy has the necessary dependencies, you could grab the source package from intrepid and build that [01:15] bsims - oh games - no acceleration. Most games won't work [01:15] I came back today to give you all the great news of Songbird. It is an AMAZING player [01:15] why i was banned from debian? i even write?! [01:16] yaksoba: this isn't really the right place to ask [01:16] yaksoba: why do you think #ubuntu would have anything to do with your being banned in #debian? [01:16] there some dockumentation i have read about the Dell Optiplex systems and the password not working, is it possible to modify the password and user name from the live CD once the os is installed to the hard [01:16] anyone else a songbird fan? [01:16] Bah so much for that idea then sloucher [01:16] jrib: interesting, is that a better option than trying to install the binary package from intrepid? (i'm new to debian-style package management) [01:16] or know when it will hit the repos? [01:16] my monitor doesn't like the ubuntu splash when booting, it says "Out of range, please set to 1280x1240(or whatever the resolution is) at 60HZ" [01:16] any ideas? [01:16] mdhancher: yes [01:16] Hey guys. One more thing... is there a directx equiv for Ubuntu? Something that I can use outside of wine? [01:16] ok.... [01:16] yaksoba: check out your server log, bans usually have a reason [01:16] to fix it that is [01:16] jrb: because the library dependencies are less likely to break? [01:17] mdhancher: I've always used dh_make -e your.maintainer@address --createorig then sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [01:17] meaning ? [01:17] yaksoba: (anyway, it's because you're on IRC as root.) [01:17] mdhancher: you may also want to look into checkinstall [01:17] ok........... [01:17] how can i use rc.local to start applications at bootup? [01:17] bsims - I think you dual boot for games. Some try wine and the such. Kind of a pain. I dual boot even though it kills me. [01:17] Marfi: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:17] mdhancher: right, the dependencies for the binary are generated when the package is built so that my cause some trouble if you try to just use the intrepid package [01:17] sloucher: Heh fair enough... I'm weakening on my If I can't do it with free software stance [01:17] how do i manually install b43 drivers? [01:18] mdhancher: I guess the other way is to check out the backports docs, they have documentation on how they create backports [01:18] DasEi, how is it off topic? [01:18] jrib, another question, how do I drag around the cube? [01:18] i cant use hardware drivers, every time i try my computer freezes [01:18] bsims: yeah, i was looking at that, and it seems like i could pretty easily build a single debian package that includes everything i need, but that would not play nice with apt's dependency management, so it would avoid the problem of apt getting confused in the future and trampling on everything? [01:18] !backports > mdhancher [01:18] mdhancher, please see my private message [01:18] hi - synaptic updated after 3 weeks holidays. 129 packages. i accepted. anyway - everything except wifi is fine. wifi with no encryption(set by the router) works but when i put wpa2 on it fails to connect. any ideas? the network can be seen by network manager === outboard_ is now known as outboard [01:18] !ot | Marfi [01:18] Marfi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

What should I do to get Ubuntu 8.10 to see my pcmcia? [01:20] while i am it DasEi how do i get xchat to open links [01:20] bsims: presumably also no libfoo package either? i'd just be creating the one package, where there used to be three. [01:20] it just stopped opening links one day even though i have it set in preferred applications [01:20] ChrisDavaz, did you plug in a pcmcia card? [01:20] my monitor doesn't like the ubuntu splash when booting, it says "Out of range, please set to 1280x1240(or whatever the resolution is) at 60HZ" [01:20] mdhancher: correct [01:20] any ideas?

[01:21] ChrisDavaz, check dmesg output befor and after plugging in the card. Used to be there was a pcmcia service that handles that stuff [01:21] yea i know that DasEi [01:21] IndyGunFreak, thanks [01:21] wsgordon: easiest thing to do is boot safe mode and do it there. [01:21] its not working [01:21] mdhancher: No foo means the package... libfoo is the libary used and foo-dev is the development headers for libfoo [01:21] wsgordon, clarify what you mean by 'fix' ? [01:21] hence my inquiry [01:21] jrib, last question I swear, what's the "switcher"? (By default it seems to be "static application switcher") [01:21] tsrk: don't know [01:21] jrib, ok, thanks anyway [01:21] DaNk: left t click on it in irc window > direct open, right-click... open in browser [01:22] how do i transplant my ubuntu install, from the single drive it's on, to a set of new drives, and set it up as a raid1, AND then boot from it? [01:22] bsims: i know that, but what i don't want is for some package to depend on, say, libfoo, which i won't be providing, and for a future apt-get upgrade to install a "new" version of libfoo on top of my libraries. [01:22] dr_willis i install ubuntu, then reboot, but theres a issue with the Dell Optiplex systems and the ubuntu system, once you reboot the user name and password are not recoginized [01:22] mdhancher: tell apt to freeze the package [01:22] bsims: aha, interesting. how do i do that? [01:22] wsgordon, you can boot live cd, chroot in, set new password I guess... [01:22] yea no shit DasEi i know that , its doesnt open windows it just sits there [01:23] kc8pxy: for a 1:1 copy, can use dd, for specialist in grub/raid, join #grub [01:23] dr_willis can you manualy access the user name and password file and then make modifications ?

[01:23] well here /var/log/syslog.0 seem to match the time of crash, anyone able to make sense of it ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/82244/ [01:23] wsgordon, you could .. but the passwd command would be easier... [01:24] wsgordon, you could edit the file and remove the password.. then reboot , login with no pass.. and set one I guess [01:24] bsims: i've just been using apt-get and friends directly; there's no X on this box [01:24] mdhancher: Let me check the manpage [01:24] which manpage, is this just an apt-get feature? [01:24] dr_willis theat might be worth a try, no password. then once the harddrive is up, set a password [01:24] Hi guys... what startup file can I use to drop a "hdparm -S xxx" into?

[01:29] crimson: I'm using 8.10, doesn't hat use PulseAudio in place of ALSA? [01:29] I am thinking of upgrading over time to quad tb drives [01:30] Bsims: The problem with man pages is that, while most people are happy to use "man ", they're not up on how to search very well... and since they only use man every now and again, they're not going to remember that / searches and there's some way to make it case insensitive or whole words only, etc. -- this is where GUIs really shine [01:30] Bsims: pretty easy.. but you need to use the alternate cd, and i recommend also using the raid howto on the site(don't have url) [01:30] thanks kc8pxy [01:30] jkoltner: Oh I know but at least they might read about man -k [01:31] is there a software used in terminal that can replace usb-creator [01:31] Bsims:from what I read it's pretty good supported by ubuntu [01:31] mama21mama: estas [01:31] ya instale pero sigue igual [01:31] zzly: ...??? what's tat? [01:31] hey sorry for bringing this up, but I can't find a clear enough asnwer.. is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu ONLY the desktop environemnt? [01:32] !Spanish [01:32] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[01:32] zzly: yeah but its far easier to use unetbootin from the gui [01:32] alguien que me ayude con monitor y tarjeta de video se me quedan como congeladitas [01:32] stiago13: not ONLY, but the differences are very nearly only cosmetic. [01:32] Bsims: ...and then try to remember "-k" next time they need it. :-) Hey, isn't there some Unix Geek Test where you get points if you can name the command line switches that ls *doesn't* support? :-) [01:32] ChrisDavaz: no, pulseaudio needs a backend. alsa is a backend. [01:32] yeah and I know for a fact grub/lilo can boot emacs directly proving its an OS not an editor [01:33] jkoltner: /me ducks the endless vi/vim/elvis vs emacs flamewar [01:33] i think keyboard is better than mouse [01:33] ^_^ [01:33] zzly: same here what keyboard are you using? [01:33] Bsims: I suggest people start out with gedit :-) [01:34] Bsims: Granting that, yes, it's nowhere near as powerful as emacs/vim/etc. [01:34] jkoltner: heathen, you mistyped kate [01:34] just a normal keyboard [01:34] does anyone know what this means - fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null)),0,0x39edbc,0x00000000), stub!

It does say "Sound capture:" but the choices are not obvious. Why one is external? [01:36] Bsims, not that ive seen..

[01:47] Gyron: I think so [01:48] Gyron yes [01:48] Gyron system.. admin.. partition editor [01:48] At random intervals my laptop's caps lock light with start flashing, and when it does this my computer is completely unresponsive, it just shows a black screen, what's happening, and what should I do? [01:48] beta-guy: wierd... does it only do this in linux or in windows as well [01:49] beta-guy: sounds like a kernel panic. is the computer very hot? [01:49] just Linux [01:49] it can get hot, I do distributed computing [01:49] beta-guy: and the fan works with linux? [01:49] beta-guy: yeah it sounds like a kernel panic [01:49] fan works fine [01:50] Gyron There is always a degree of risk when working at the partition level and moving sensitive files. You are the only judge as to if you need a backup or not [01:50] i just tried to duelboot vista aand ubuntu and of course grub got blown away, I tried to follow th instuctions on the wiki but it tells me error 15: file not found [01:50] is there anything I can do about a kernel panic?? [01:50] !grub [01:50] 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 [01:50] * zsquareplusc thinks there is no choice "backup or not". it's "backup".. ;-) [01:51] zsquareplusc I agree, but we see a constant stream of people that think that does not apply to them [01:51] zsquareplusc: And backup your backups and make sure they work [01:51] Jack_Sparrow: I've tried to follwo tha tand I got the above error [01:51] Jack_Sparrow, yeah but grub ain't the default boot manager installed if you are using the alternative installer... [01:51] jack-desktop, i am now stuck with lilo. [01:52] freetown: apt-get install grub [01:52] freetown It goes to lilo if you are running a type of partition that grub does not work with.. [01:52] Jack_Sparrow: yes. but if you mention backup and they don't, loosing data it's their fault and not ours :-) [01:52] you can use the command 'grub-install --directory=/' [01:52] !kernel panic [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel panic [01:52] Bsims, sure...but will apt and what not know to configure grub for kernel updates? [01:52] and then it will recheck your bios [01:52] beta-guy: you have my sympathies, same thing is happening to me, but at least I starting to narrow down the cause for me. somthing to do with networking [01:53] Jack_Sparrow, HUH? /boot on raid1 and / on LVM? [01:53] freetown: It will do so its all automated [01:53] freetown /j #Lilo ... very very few people in here have ever used it and people that ask lilo questions are often ignored [01:53] Jack_Sparrow, i don't see what problem grub has with raid1 [01:53] \/boot can not be included in LVM [01:53] Jack_Sparrow: LILO doesn't have a channel on freenode [01:53] freetown: I am Old enough to have started with lilo but have never used raid on linux but will help you if I can [01:54] beta-guy: you may out more by checking you /var/log/system files , but thats all the help i can give you [01:54] i'm using wine based system and trying to play WoW and can get the program to run but the screen is all distorted can anyone help me with this problem? [01:54] Bsims, well...after installing grub...does it create the menu files? [01:54] LjL Where is the lilo channel [01:54] Jack_Sparrow: i don't know, but not on freenode [01:54] Jack_Sparrow, i know lilo...but i hate the thing [01:54] freetown: It does and any kernel updates trigger a grup update [01:54] its granfather's software!!! [01:54] Bsims, okay [01:55] i have ever heard that grub had a version 2 [01:55] how can I see the uuid of a HDD partition? [01:55] zzly, why do you think i have /boot on its own raid1 md device? [01:55] it is realy good [01:55] Robert_C perhaps /j #Winehq [01:55] freetown: worst case you boot a live cd and chroot and reinstall lilo [01:55] are there any applications that work for writing notes?

It started 18 hours ago and it's still going. If the manpage is right about the blocksize and block count, it's up to 1.2TB now, and it's only a 1TB disk [02:32] How do I get a second opinion from something faster than badblocks? [02:32] bazhang, so, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-unrestricted-extras? [02:32] bazhang, I dont play games.. Will it handle visual studio? [02:32] the wifi docs didn't help [02:33] declan, yep, may also want to check medibuntu.org for dvd playing and w32codecs [02:33] !details > Dwayned [02:33] Dwayned, please see my private message [02:33] hi everyone, with proftpd, how do i allow it to accept logins from external network? becoz it can only do LAN login and not internet login form outside. [02:33] bzerk1, not familiar with that; you might also want to check if wine will run that (check appdb) [02:33] !appdb | bzerk1 [02:33] bzerk1: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:33] Hi, When i try add new userdel.. Ubuntu say "adduser: The group `test' already exists." But.. I just want add user "test" what i need to do ? Thank's. [02:33] Gyron, in the menus some where.. they changed the name from 8.04 to 8.10 so i dont rember its proper name [02:34] So, what would cause badblocks to just keep going and going and going? [02:34] RequimB4 I tried sudo and did not work that is why I tried to be root. Anyway I am trying to install a printer and almost at the end it needs to install a file in /usr/local/EPAva/ekdpsetup but tells me permission denied [02:34] new useradd* [02:34] brilliant! thanks bazhang [02:34] i'm running kubuntu 8.10 i hav ndiswrapper and it shows up in loaded kernel modules however i can't see the wlan0 card nor will it scan [02:34] Hi, When i try add new useradd.. Ubuntu say "adduser: The group `test' already exists." But.. I just want add user "test" what i need to do ? (my command is: adduser --no-create-home daemon [02:34] Thank's. [02:35] bazhang, when I do that I get this: [02:35] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [02:35] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[02:35] declan:close synaptic-gui [02:36] !distros [02:36] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) === gretch__ is now known as gretchen [02:36] declan, close add/remove synaptic or others and try again [02:36] help me please [02:37] noobnoob, please discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:37] "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" means that you have more than one apt running (a command-line installing, synaptic, updates...) [02:37] meoblast001→ so you're back. you never told me what "dreamscene" is [02:37] bazhang, I did ps aux | grep synaptic...there are lots of them open...which do I kill? === nick_ is now known as Skky [02:37] what is a good channel to get C help? [02:37] magnetron, i didnt? its a vista thing that runs movie files as your background [02:37] declan, lots of them open? dont you see the gui for them? [02:38] You mean, the actual window? Yeah I see that but its not responding... [02:38] does anyone knows how to use proftpd? [02:38] meoblast001→ i do not give support for vista. go to #windows . === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [02:38] Skky: #c++ [02:38] declan, you were not downloading something else at the time? [02:38] which command is to close a irc channel? [02:38] bazhang, I was. I was trying to download flash [02:38] magnetron, i didnt say vista =/ [02:39] zzly, you mean you want to part? [02:39] magnetron, i said ubuntu dreamscene mod [02:39] magnetron, i didnt? its a vista thing that runs movie files as your background [02:39] for the love of god, can someone help me out with some nvidia driver issues? I can't get it to install properly... always get errors about the kernel files not available and i've already got the linux-source installed [02:39] declan, did that error out ? [02:39] magnetron, i gave you a link to the mod [02:39] bazhang i mean to close a unuseful channel from my joined channels [02:39] bazhang, no, its keeps trying different servers to get what it wants [02:39] zzly, which irc client [02:39] irssi [02:39] declan, best let it time out [02:39] meoblast001→ no, you gave a link to a xwinwrap thread in ubuntuforums. [02:40] yeah [02:40] in tar, it can unpack files sometimes with different user to the user doing the unpacking, does this present any kind of security risk on multi-user systems? for example could someone make a tar with script in and set uid then unpack and run it as root? [02:40] thats the mod [02:40] how could i make a script for wvdial and add an icon on try to activate it. It only works with sudo [02:40] bazhang, it's on try: 10 and looks like its gonna keep going for a while... [02:40] zzly, sorry using xchat here; if you address the channel tons of people are likely using irssi [02:40] my wifi cant connect with wep/wpa/wpa2 encryption. no encryption works fine. please help [02:40] darn virtualization, I'm running Intrepid as a guest on a windoze pc and the 'time' on my ubuntu guest is way out-of-sync. [02:40] how can I find a word or centence on VIM [02:40] bazhang thankyou also [02:41] declan, then shut it down if you wish [02:41] bazhang, I don't know which process it is... [02:41] meoblast001→ you only gave me a link to a xwinwrap thread. if you want to run "the dreamscene mod" you at least need to explain what is is [02:41] KlrSpz: installing the nvidia drivers is easiest done using system-> admin -> hardware drivers. [02:41] recon61: nothing happens when i do that, it won't "activate" [02:41] * zzly [02:41] ah, got it [02:41] declan, does not clicking the x on the title bar bring up a warning that asks if you want to quit or not (ie force quit)? [02:41] magnetron, dont worry about it.. im looking into another dreamscene mod anyways... that one sucked [02:42] !vim [02:42] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [02:42] bazhang, it didn't. But I chose a random synaptic processID and killed it, and its gone now [02:42] that is decidedly unhelpful ubottu [02:42] meoblast001→ no, XGL sucks. i told you not to use XGL [02:42] KlrSpz, you did restart after that right? after enabling the driver? [02:42] KlrSpz: so what card you got and do you get an error? [02:42] bazhang: it doens't enable [02:42] KlrSpz take note of whatever Nvidia install pakage tell you you need and install them. Just be mindfull that sometimes it might give you a name that is not exactly what ubuntoo uses but ubuntoo will have it with a name that contains the original nvidia name. [02:42] hi [02:42] magnetron, i switched back... but the mod sux too... it draws ontop of the desktop [02:42] !hi | ndl [02:42] ndl: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:43] I am trying to chown on a usb drive and i get operation not permitted. anyone care to help? [02:43] meoblast001→ which version did you use? 0.1 or 0.2 ? [02:43] idk [02:43] meoblast001→ 0.1 is very very old [02:43] of what [02:43] Ahhh, killed them all [02:43] meoblast001→ what version of xwinwrap did you use? [02:43] recon61: nvidia Geforce Go 7300 [02:43] say that a pkg ask for gtk2 in ubuntoo it could be something like libsgtk2 or similar [02:43] magnetron, not sure.... i looked up xwinwrap deb in google and got the one from ubuntu forums [02:44] when i run ndiswrapper -m i get module configuration contains directive install pci:v0000168Cd0000FF1Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper [02:44] ;you should delete that at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 868, line 255. [02:44] for an error [02:44] meoblast001→ yeah, but which version? [02:44] i dont know [02:44] meoblast001→ FIND OUT THEN [02:44] and i want to try this different mod [02:44] i dont care about that mod anymore [02:44] i think thats where i might be messing up [02:44] i'd like to download and install Alice, some CG program, but it doesnt have a package in synaptic. I dont know the actual location of the file, but it is available here. :S http://www.alice.org/index.php?page=downloads/download_alice [02:44] im done with it [02:44] meoblast001→ which "other mod"? [02:45] magnetron, this one replaces your desktop background with a screensaver [02:45] anyone in here run tor? [02:45] magnetron, but how do you make the desktop background stop drawing [02:45] hahaha, dwade [02:45] * Ferrous laughs at dwade :) [02:45] what is so funny? [02:45] recon61: as for errors, when i try to install the nvidia-kernel-source, it says: http://pastebin.ca/1279325 [02:45] meoblast001→ ok, i'll never ever try to help you again since i keep asking what you are trying to do and you don't tell my shit. [02:45] your words are funny, dwade :) [02:45] language magnetron [02:45] calm down [02:46] Ferrous, torproject.com [02:46] your confusing me [02:46] Ferrous, what is funny [02:46] i know what tor is ^_^ [02:46] bazhang, do you find someone in an ubuntu help room looking or support reguarding Tor humorous? i do. [02:47] meoblast: gconf-editor, apps/nautilus/ [02:47] Ferrous, please stay on topic [02:47] RequinB4, that just makes the icons go away [02:47] meoblast001→ no, you are confusing yourself. i've been asking "what software are you trying to install" for 30 minutes, i've completely wasted my time trying to help you. good bye [02:47] Ferrous, no one in #tor would help me. [02:47] meoblast: there is a setting there that makes it not draw the desktop, its not the menu you're thinking of [02:47] !troll | magnetron [02:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about troll [02:47] !tor | Dwade09 [02:47] bazhang, what is the topic? :) i dont mean to veer off, perhaps if i had a better idea the strict topic in the room it would help. [02:47] Dwade09: 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 [02:47] haha, aww :[ [02:47] anyone know why my vim in ubunto doesn't show colors when modifying ruby files? I made sure vi-ruby installed [02:47] Ferrous, may i pm you? for trouble shoot or you may join me in #tor [02:48] wtf [02:48] i got kicked [02:48] meoblast001, dont. [02:48] dont? [02:48] what did i do? [02:48] bazhang: i had that problem earlier, ubottu is decidedly unnhelpful with !tor [02:48] i asked questions and magnetron started cussing at me [02:48] bazhang, it is not for irc. [02:48] haha. Oh my, the drama. I shal run off now... [02:49] ok, look, I just loaded the live cd for 8.10 and it took me straight to the command line interface. I want the GUI. How do I load it> [02:49] ? [02:49] Dwade09, you can check tor/privoxy faq; if you have any particular questions then ask. [02:49] bazhang, I quit all the synaptic things and ran apt-get install ubuntu-unrestricted-extras, and it said syanptic was interrreupted, and to run dpkg --configure -a [02:49] So I did...and its doing the same exact thing it was before [02:49] declan, run that with the sudo [02:49] Yeah, I did [02:49] anyone can tell me why I keep getting a PERMISSION DENIED when I try to install a printer? [02:49] sorry didn't specify [02:49] declan, please paste.ubuntu.com with the errors === heHATEme is now known as vorian [02:50] well in the browser it sayes it is enabled but when i start vidalia it gives me an error of Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified. and in the settings general tab it shows Tor in the text box, . but still wont work. [02:50] ok, look, I just loaded the live cd for 8.10 and it took me straight to the command line interface. I want the GUI. How do I load it? [02:50] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/m7fd42ecf [02:50] anyone know why my vim in ubunto doesn't show colors when modifying ruby files? I made sure vi-ruby installed [02:51] vecsigma: have you tried Emacs yet? [02:51] help please, i've figured out how to configure samba so taht my windows computers can see my shares on linux, but how do i see the windows shares from linux ? (ubuntu 8.04 LTS) [02:51] RequinB4, might I PM you? [02:51] bazhang: if you feel it is necessary [02:51] Logikos just make the shares in windows. there is nothing ewls to do as Samba will do the rest [02:52] KlrSpz: sorry but i stumped. [02:52] recon61: yeah same here :( [02:52] orlando: the shares are made and visible from other windows computers ... but where do i go in ubuntu to view them? [02:52] never had this much trouble installing nvidia drivers [02:52] Logikos, use the gnome file manager, it has a network/remote places item, that should show the machines. You may want to edit the smb.conf file to be on the same workgroup as your windows machine [02:53] Logikos, places.....network [02:53] someone help me plz? I just loaded the live cd for 8.10 and it took me to the Command Line interface. BusyBox v.1.10.2. I want a GUI [02:53] Logikos, ive had some issues in the past with windows shres ot always showing up.. ive had to browse to the window machine, then type in the share name.. once it sees/accesses the share. I bookmark it [02:53] KlrSpz: had lots of problems with ubuntu 6 , but since then 8.4 it's installed itself for me [02:53] recon61: yeah same :( i'm so stressed about it :( [02:54] orlando, dr_willis: thanks [02:54] no problems === root is now known as zzlyzq [02:54] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/m7fd42ecf [02:54] KlrSpz just move to 8.04 hardy [02:54] dr_willis: How do I get the GUI to load up with 8.10? [02:55] orlando: well i came FROM that... how do i downgrade? [02:55] orlando, dr_willis: is there a way to mount the location such as in this case smb://im01/shared/ ... and have ubuntu recreat the map ... or mount each time i boot ? [02:55] orlando: i don't have the luxury of formatting/re-installing right now [02:55] KlrSpz: have you tried envyng [02:55] Logikos, theres varioyus ways you can mount smb shares.. you can even put entrys for them in the/etc/fstab if you wanted [02:56] dr_willis: What about my request? [02:56] Logikos, you may want to read the samba-books in the samba-doc package [02:56] dr_willis: alright, thanks [02:56] Gyron, if its going to busybox its crashing badly early on would be my guess. [02:56] hello [02:56] i am having some difficulty installing TWIN window manager [02:56] recon61: i guess i can try that, didn't really want to though [02:56] declan, just a sec [02:56] there appears to be some error during "make" stage [02:56] if anyone has compiled this manager please offer a hand [02:56] bazhang, no problemo [02:57] ext, twin - last i looked was the name of a 'terminal emulator' that sort of worked like a window manager.. and it was in the repos [02:57] !info twin [02:57] Package twin does not exist in intrepid [02:57] hmm guess it got removed. [02:57] KlrSpz your grub loader should have the older version in there. When booting press Esc and chose the version you want/ the beauty of Linux keeps all the old staff [02:57] dr_willis: twin is a WM that can run in TTY [02:57] declan, it may take a bit, looks like it has finally connected (worth the wait) [02:57] dr_willis: as i recall, having used it at some point [02:58] bazhang, it did this 10 times. It connects, tries forever, then times out and tries another source [02:58] ext, well its not really a wm in the 'x' sence of the term.. and i have used it befor.. but it started getitng flakey on many disrtos i tried it on [02:58] dr_willis: oh, i see [02:58] g'night and g'luck [02:58] dr_willis: could you perhaps help with the installation [02:58] ext, if you want multi-terms in a window. You may want to try out 'terminator' if you need it just in X. [02:58] declan, how long has this been going on? [02:58] ext, ive not installed it or messed with it in ages.. and i go to work in 3 min. [02:58] dr_willis: oh okay thanks [02:59] anybody speak in chinese? [02:59] orlando: no that just has an older kernel [02:59] bazhang, started it an hour ago and let it go for a while, when I was doing the GUI one. This one is in the terminal now, but doing the exact same thing [02:59] ext, i also have had issues with twin in the console under the last few disrtos ive tried it in. I Imagine you just need to install a lot of the dev files it needs to compile. There MAY be ppa repos for it also. [02:59] that older kerel would be the older version ( dongrade) [02:59] chaisy, /join #ubuntu-cn or -tw, -hk [02:59] gnome system monitor and top/free are showing two very different amounts of used ram.... ideas? [02:59] orlando: i did an ubuntu upgrade to intrepid, it doesn't keep a partition around of a backup of older ubuntu installs.... [02:59] thanks [03:00] dr_willis: instaed is there a way i can create a shortcut on the desktop to a network location, such as smb://im01/shared/ ... i to be honest have no clue how to even make a shortcut in ubuntu [03:00] oh! that is because you did not chose to do it [03:00] you can only run one instance of apt at a time declan [03:00] nothing you can do now about that [03:00] sorry KplSpz === ceW__baEk2^_^ is now known as cwe_anti [03:01] I'm trying to set the Windows/super key to a keyboard shortcut in ubuntu 8.10. The system lets me select the super key on its own, but not super+any other key. also, when I try to use backspace to clear, it instead moves me to the top of the keyboard shortcuts list rather than clearing the key combination. any ideas? [03:01] bazhang, only one instance is running...I think my sources might be messed up or something [03:01] ubuntu 8.10 on dell d600. cannot type in terminal, can select app/places/system dropdowns, but but dropdowns don't appear. i can move from window to window with mouse and click on them. have to use power button on laptop to get shutdown menu. i've tried restart and power off/on. any ideas? was working fine all day. this just started occurring. [03:02] declan, care to pastebin them? the sources.list? [03:02] Where is that, bazhang? [03:02] Tj: yep, if you want windows things just use windows [03:02] declan, cat /etc/apt/sources.list -->paste.ubuntu.com [03:03] ugh, i HATE qt [03:03] orlando: how was that a helpful comment? [03:03] orlando: But the windows key works fine on my desktop that runs ubuntu 8.04. I can't help that the laptop came with a windows key, but the super key is commonly used in unix. [03:03] oops! sorry [03:03] Is it true that the next version of Firefox will have built in support for vorbis and theora? [03:04] what I meant is that really ubunto is so much more that windows [03:05] and people should not expect ubunto to act loke windows [03:05] orlando: you keep saying 'ubunto' it's Ubuntu [03:05] sorry again :( [03:05] orlando: How am I expecting ubuntu to act like windows when I want the super key to open a new gnome-terminal? [03:05] I agree with you though orlando :) [03:06] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/m135c7ce1 [03:06] thanks eseven [03:06] TJ-421, you can try mapping, but that key is normally reserved for compiz [03:07] anyone knows why I get permission denied even when using admin permisisons? [03:07] orlando: perhaps you can explain to us all how a super + 'key' is a windows feature? [03:08] orlando, doing what [03:08] TJ-421: You can do that with the "ubuntu Tweak" tool [03:08] Hello [03:08] bazhang : when trying to install an epson printer [03:08] orlando maybe your file is using by another process [03:08] Is Ubuntu based on Debian? [03:08] cream yeah!!! [03:08] orlando, you checked /msg ubottu cups yet? [03:08] dayumn [03:09] nope will do now thanks bazhang [03:09] zzlyzq, new exploit for debian based linux [03:09] guess what [03:09] bazhang: interesting, although the keyboard shortcuts dialog originally recognized my win key as "Super L", mapping the win key to Mod4 through the keyboard preferences worked perfectly.

I used a repository to install OpenOffice 3 some time ago. Now, I'm trying to work on a paper for a college class. Trying to type in an 8 page paper is, well, painful. I want to go back to OpenOffice 2.4, but when I added the repository and updated, it pulled a whole bunch of packages. Is there any way to automatically revert? [03:13] ok i have light scribe i just installed simple light scribe software and from lacies one every time i run lacies one i got that message [03:15] Quick question. I just opened up my new Western Digital 1tb external drive. Do I need to configure it on a windows or mac computer before I use it? there is a setup.exe and a few other stuff [03:15] i have libstdc++.so.5 in lightscribe common directory [03:15] but 4L-gui application will not run from lacies [03:16] rogan, are you going to be sharing it with other OSes?

[03:21] anyone know if there is a way to tile or cascade windows in xfce? [03:21] anyone have a few minutes to help out a first time user? drop me a message if you can spare a few. [03:21] <[TiZ]> revdamp: Do you have KDE? [03:21] the0, best to ask the channel; if someone knows they will answer [03:22] Where can I find the DarkRoom theme for ubuntu 8.04 ? I just want to download the files... [03:22] yes kubuntu desktop [03:22] Tiz : sudo apt get pure version 3.0 then install 2.4 [03:22] but normally just run gnome (default) sometimes-- the LXDE [03:22] sorry, bazhamg didnt want to clog up the works with network connections [03:22] <[TiZ]> revdamp128: KDE 4, or KDE 3? [03:22] KDE3 and 4.0 [03:22] TiZ:sotty sudo apt get purge [03:23] redvamp128: then thake the qt4 gcc4 version [03:23] hey guys i have libsdc++6 do i have to install libsdc++5 ass well? [03:23] <[TiZ]> duanedesign: That won't take all the packages with it, will it? Not even with Aptitude. [03:23] Static one or not? [03:23] Amer30: if you want apps compiled against v5 to work yes [03:23] <[TiZ]> revdamp:, no. You can't have KDE3 and 4. Here, let me put it this way. Are you on Hardy or Intrepid? [03:23] cannot find network manger icon on my desktop, is it the image of the two monitors in the upper right hand of the screen? [03:24] Hardy and in my menu-- when I sign in there is a kde 3.5 and also KDE4.0 [03:24] both work [03:24] do i have to uninstall 4L-gui applications and install lib first then install it again? or [03:24] the0: that's it [03:24] the0, the nm-applet yes [03:24] Where can I find the DarkRoom theme for ubuntu 8.04 ? I just want to download the files... Any place to get it? [03:24] aiuw, check gnome-look.org [03:24] Amer30: just installing the lib v5 should work [03:24] <[TiZ]> revdamp128: Then get opera_10.00.4102.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb [03:25] the0, is network-manager running? [03:25] ok i will try that [03:25] my wireless router is connected to a pc running XP, the wireless network is not showing up in my NM [03:25] another problem I've been havin is that I can' tuse my touchpad, it freaks out and the mouse goes all over and clicks things at the speed of light, bu tmy wireless mouse is fine, any ideas on a fix? [03:25] bazhang, is that where ubuntu gets it official themes from that it packages and release? [03:25] Thanks -- I already have it running in wine and it is fast [03:25] hello anyone in here know why I would get a blank screen with flashing cursor instead of my bootsplash I created? [03:26] wow [03:26] thanks guys a lot [03:26] lo all. ive been searching but cant find a correct answer. i have a usb gps that sometimes freezes and wont work until i unplug it and plug it back in. it uses the cypress m8 driver. how can i unload and load the module back in so i reuse it without unplugging it? [03:26] it's working now [03:26] :) === _lifi is now known as lifi [03:27] how do i add a file to a directory? [03:27] is there anyway to save my entire ubuntu system (including settings and programs and whatnot) to a cd so that I can boot it from another computer as-is? [03:27] obi_: cp [03:28] SSilver2k, have a look at the output of lsmod - you should find it there [03:28] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-Colors?content=86717 aiuw this? [03:28] Lancelot: yes, takes a lot of time, obnoxious, also the cd would obviously be immutable so any changes you made afterwards wouldn't work, also your hardware configs would probably fail on another computer [03:28] this is true [03:29] Lancelot, it'd be tough - a CD is quite limited in size for that task [03:29] Lancelot, you can remaster a live cd [03:29] !remaster | Lancelot [03:29] Lancelot: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [03:29] it wouldn't be too tough when you realize that ubuntu live cds are unnecessarily massive [03:29] okay.... well is there anyway to keep my preferences and programs to load onto another ubuntu on another computer? i have an external harddrive, that should work [03:29] breunig: cp? im not sure what that means [03:29] obi_: explain what are you doing [03:30] Lancelot, easiest is the persistent usb flash key [03:30] bruenig, he wants his settings too - however squashed stuff is, fitting those in is an ask [03:30] how does that work? [03:30] !usb | Lancelot [03:30] Lancelot: 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 [03:30] Lancelot, check the last link [03:30] what's a persistent live usb install?

[03:32] <[TiZ]> duanedesign: I guess I could try that [03:32] Before I used to get a boot screen where the progress bar was loading back and forth, now it does the same but exit and I see a a long text version right afterwards. How do I restore it like default or stop this (since Im trying to make use of the usplash-smooth) package [03:32] Server [03:32] obi_: ok so you want to open up a text file, enter the text, then save it [03:32] fiXXXerMet: ubuntu server [03:33] bruenig: yes [03:33] obi_: so choose a text editor... [03:33] I was able to solve all my problems but now I ended up with another (stupid) one. A software installation requires me to change the CD while the installer is active. I don't want to force unmount it manually and leave a zombie behind. Is there any best practice solution for that? [03:33] obi_, you could use lshal or hal-device to find it if HAL detects the device [03:33] <[TiZ]> duanedesign: No such program on my system. I'll disable all the other repositores on my system, do an apt-cache list, remove those, and then reinstall. [03:33] what do i use once i find the module in lsmod? [03:34] rmmod and insmod? [03:34] vorian: No - it is aimed to be a desktop OS but without X [03:34] hi, if i have roadrunner, is it possible for my box to have a fully qualified domain name? [03:34] bruenig: is gedit a text editor, and then i what? enter the text and save to that location? [03:34] SSilver2k, rmmod to unload it -- modprobe should be used in favour of insmod - to load a module [03:34] obi_: yep [03:35] unop: thank you. trying it [03:35] SSilver2k, infact, you can do away with rmmod too and just use modprobe (modprobe -r) === sean is now known as Guest38900 [03:35] oh cool [03:36] Hi people [03:36] ardour doesnt works and im sure its my Sound Config.

[03:39] Hmmmmm for some reason when I do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb I only get a write speed of 500 KB/s in VMWare to a USB drive. If I do /dev/zero -> /dev/null I get 27 MB / s If I do /dev/sdb -> /dev/null I get 8 MB/s. If I do /dev/urandom -> /dev/sdb I get 2 MB/s. Not sure why? [03:40] webcam in kopete help [03:41] Guest41923: the topic says to be paitient. im sure someone can help you. i cant. [03:41] Suppose I have a directory with files and folders. I'm looking for a file format, which can store files in such a way that I can "mount" the "image" in such a way that the contents of the directory merge with the contents of the "image", and can then be unmounted, returning the original directory to its previous state. The "mounting" also needs to be done instantaneously, like an ISO image mounting, not like a .tar.gz archive. ISO f [03:41] iles work fine, to mount it you either require fuse or administrator privileges, and I do not know of a way to merge the contents with the directory while mounting. ZIP, GZIP, TAR, and so on do not work, because to merge the contents, it would take a while to unarchive. You also could not "unmount" it, removing the "mounted" files. Basically, here are my requirements: can be run as a regular user, (preferably) does not require exter [03:41] nal programs, can be "mounted" and "unmounted", without leaving the files behind, like an archive, and can "mount" and "unmount" instantaneously.

[03:43] unop yes but why is it faster for me to write from /dev/urandom then /dev/zero [03:43] obi_, what file are you editing [03:43] SJrX, what's unusual tho is the 500K/s write speeds you get [03:43] Yeah [03:43] nice [03:43] im trying to save a file in etc/hal/fdi/policy [03:43] /usr/bin/echomixer [03:43] the /dev/urandom 2.7 MB/s is the bottleneck of /dev/urandom [03:44] ardour doesnt works and im sure its my Sound Config. Anybody knows? [03:44] SJrX, you said - /dev/zero gives you ~27 MB/s - that's faster than urandom [03:44] Yeah [03:44] SJrX, i don't get it - what are you asking really? :) [03:44] Guest41923, lets keep this in channel please [03:45] zero -> sdb is 500 KB/s. zero -> null is 27.8 MB/s. urandom -> sdb is 2.8 MB/s, urandom -> null is 2.8 MB/s [03:45] For some reason zero -> sdb is REALLY slow [03:45] can someone here help me with setting up this home server i'm trying to build here...?

Using mount, it tells me it lacks an NTFS signature and is not a valid NTFS FS. In the GUI, it tells me 'mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR,SEPARATOR (usually /)', and the mount point is /usbhdd.

[04:12] I don't mean to sound remedial or a dullard, but so far I haven't gotten an answer from friends -- is there any way to migrate from amd64 to i386? [04:12] Without a clean install, that is. [04:12] was pointing mount to the wrong partition, such an idiot.. [04:12] Chistery, full reinstall only [04:12] Mmm. I was afraid of that. [04:12] Looks like I'll have to wait until after finals, then. [04:13] aiuw: yup, ubuntu-restricted-extras is the latest version. [04:13] Any other ideas? [04:13] brendan_, are you trying to get flash to work with firefox? [04:13] aiuw: Yes [04:13] Chistery, the problem is that ALL the apps are compiled for 64bit, and will not function on the 32bit proccessor. nothing short of a full install would work, since oyu would have to reinstall every pakcage anyway. [04:13] * Chistery nods. [04:13] Well, I suspected as much. === sean is now known as Guest69845 [04:14] The problem is, I've installed Ubuntu before on this machine -- [04:14] its not the most convieniant, but just backup your /home directory and getting back uop and running does quickly [04:14] And maybe it's attempting to be helpful, but beat all if the last clean install didn't end up amd64 instead of i386. [04:14] Ha, okay, what a pain, I just had to do that a few hours ago... give the packages 'adobe-flashplugin' a try... [04:15] mooglinux, the only problem I have right now here is that I'm without backup media. [04:15] aiuw: so Firefox is the problem? Is there another browser or distro that would work better? [04:15] (My external HD, anyway.) [04:15] It'll just have to wait. [04:16] In the meantime, is there any way to be certain that Ubuntu goes i386-only this time? [04:16] just make you sure you downlaoded the right cd image [04:16] * Chistery nods. [04:16] you just got the wrong one by mistake last tiem [04:17] Well, that's the thing -- [04:17] It WAS the 386 image, unless I'm misremembering.

[04:37] I'd rather it do it automatically [04:37] Hasbro, add the line calling the script to /etc/rc.local [04:37] I want to add a variable def to the environment when I run an app then I want the variable to be gone. How to do? [04:38] hasbro, put it in /etc/init.d [04:38] Hasbro, yeah, i know, if you figure out a good way please pm it to me [04:38] :O [04:38] sloopy, really? [04:38] what is the command to send private messages in channel? [04:38] Has anyone successfully gotten the pen drivers working on a Compaq TC1000 tablet? [04:38] Usser, what's that do?

[04:38] and then list it in /etc/rc.local [04:38] Guest41923, also /query depending on client [04:38] but that opens a private session [04:39] Hasbro, it runs the script on startup, only when u boot into multiuser mode though, which should be default anyhow [04:39] Where is grub stored? [04:39] Why is the file empty? [04:39] If a user deletes their windows partition after installing ubuntu will it delete anything related to grub? [04:39] For isntance, I have Nginx installed and it starts on startup, but it's not in that file. [04:39] Hasbro, its for user's scripts [04:39] tsrk: /boot/grub [04:39] Hasbro, all system scripts are in /etc/init.d [04:39] Where are system scripts stored then? [04:39] hasbro, and then it will run it on boot [04:39] * ice_cream nods [04:39] So if I place them there, then it'll run on boot? [04:40] Just place it in that folder? [04:40] Hasbro, you can add yours too but its more complicated [04:40] tsrk: only if they delete the mbr [04:40] Is there a guide somewhere usser? [04:40] Hasbro, they have to have a special format etc. [04:40] Rock-a-Billy, ah yeah, i was just dealing with that, can't believe i already forgot :P [04:40] Hasbro, no, you need to put it in that directory and then list it in rc.local [04:40] i can not ping/ssh/http/https/etc to a specific three servers, whether i'm on the internal or external network. what are any possible ways that ubuntu can prevent communication to a server and still resolve an ip from a hostname(i can attempt pinging a hostname and it resolves the ip but the packets are dropped) [04:40] ah, with the start|stop|restart arguments? [04:40] Anyone work with camcorders on linux? [04:40] !anyone | Derath [04:40] Derath: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:40] Derath: I do a bit. What's up? [04:41] specifically a jvc MG330? [04:41] Derath, you looking to suck a video off a tape? avidimux [04:41] Derath: no. What are you trying to do? [04:41] Want to know I can do what I want with it before buying it :) [04:41] like what [04:41] Derath: what do you want to do? [04:41] So [04:42] Hasbro, there was a skeleton file in /etc/init.d last i remember [04:42] record, pull off of it, edit and brun to dvd [04:42] Is there any simple way to have my stuff in init.d and just run on startup? [04:42] Like cant I just make an sh file in there? :P [04:42] how do i add people to my address book? [04:42] Derath, yep.. lots of tools for that. best connection is firewire not usb [04:42] Hasbro, basically script has to accept parameters - start, stop, restart [04:42] will debian stable play just as well with hardware as ubuntu 8.10 ? such as for wireless networkcards ? [04:42] hasbro, no that is where the startup files are stored, you have to list it in rc.local to actually run [04:42] hey, do you know of any good PDF readers for taking notes/annotation ? [04:42] someone knows about put a webcam working on kopete? [04:43] okay so in rc.local [04:43] Hasbro, when its run your script must check its input and execute different actions based on it [04:43] ah [04:43] unfortunately lack of firewire connections scunizi, and sorry Paddy, didn't mean for it to sound that way when I came in :) [04:43] okay, so for rc.local I just put the..? [04:43] usser, scripts in there dont have to accept start/stop/restart/stop [04:43] evince doesn't have any of these features [04:43] o.O [04:43] So I can just drop an sh script in there sloopy? [04:43] sloopy, really? [04:43] I'm about to download adobe reader :( [04:43] Hasbro, rc.local is run as a batch file [04:43] sloopy, well actually yea [04:43] O.o [04:43] i added an address book to my panel, so how do i add people to the address book? [04:43] Derath, a firewire add in card is cheap.. and typically auto recognized by ubuntu [04:43] what is current ubuntu release? [04:43] HH? [04:43] sloopy, they will get run anyhow, i guess its just convention then [04:44] Hasbro, you can 'put' anything in there [04:44] But for an express card format? hehe laptops here [04:44] And it'll run? :D [04:44] five no II [04:44] !ibex [04:44] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[04:47] why oh why does this usb capture device crap have to be so simple i just want a driver :( [04:48] I wish somebody would make an ExpressCard sound card for laptops.

Still I don't get anything with the camorama or any other apps and there are no /dev/viedo0 etc... is there anything that I need to do after loading the module to get it to create the video0 device? [05:12] joshritger, basically there is no reason to use swap unless the system memory is used completely === gord_ is now known as drog [05:12] also no biggie but since i used wubi installer can i get rid of windows off my system? [05:12] joshritger, it depends how much memory you have and how much you use although you need to have as much swap as you do ram if you want to dump during a crash or hibernate [05:12] mchelen: I have 2 gigs of ram and do mostly web browsing, and listening to music, nothing too intensive, and I never seen to use any swap [05:13] well i'd install ubuntu, but have before, and each install the password once i reboot will not work, anyone able to help ? [05:13] no I think the way it works is using a windows partition [05:13] no one is on #vbox :( [05:13] joshritger, yeah that is fine, you can check and make sure the swap is functioning in the system monitor, but don't be worried if it isn't used much [05:13] Defiance, its not that wubi is bad or anything.. its actually great for new users.. its just that I personally would stand by a proper install from live cd than the wubi install [05:13] i see well thank you very much for the help [05:13] cliff can yo uburn a cd? [05:13] wsgordon, do you have a non english keyboard or anything like that? [05:14] Ok, the swap is basically extra room for programs to offload into I do play some games, but I n ever monitored it during this time [05:14] So no one has any suggestions on my NTLDR question?

[05:14] nope its a standard USB keyboard, i tried looking in the forums, but found nothing [05:14] cliff_ just make sure that you defrag the drive first [05:14] Photoguy, what are you trying to install? if you don't know already it might not be a good thing to attempt [05:14] i can not ping/ssh/http/https/etc to a specific three servers, whether i'm on the internal or external network. what are any possible ways that ubuntu can prevent communication to a server and still resolve an ip from a hostname(i can attempt pinging a hostname and it resolves the ip but the packets are dropped) [05:14] Photoguy : and what are you trying to install [05:14] Photoguy, what are you installing.. a .deb file? or ?

[05:16] acpi [05:16] ipndrmath, its the best dual booting guide available [05:16] IMHO [05:16] Photoguy, why not install blender from the repos? [05:17] ipndrmath : it will help you to restore your grub settings....i woudn't trust windows to take care of your mbs [05:17] i am gettin ga new hard drive tommorrow so i am not making a big deal but what would you recomend? [05:17] sorry mbr [05:17] I did, I just need to place a script into the installation folder. [05:17] Photoguy, blender's stuff might be in your home directory as a hidden file.. Open places/home and then hit CTRL + H to reveal the hidden directories on you /home partitoin [05:17] mchelen - no problem, looking to just get the infor on the problem out there see who responds [05:17] Ok [05:17] That's it, thanks! [05:17] wsgordon, ok sure just no guarantee i will see it if it doesn't get highlighted :) [05:18] i can't use grub on the mbr as windows complains and corrupts grub [05:18] a directory content subdirectory , I want to install them at one time. how to use this install to do that? [05:18] !who | cliff_ [05:18] cliff_: 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 :) [05:18] mchelen thanks... been a few years sence ive been here. [05:19] ipndrmath : yeah check out super grub. And a little hint when installing windows; install windows first and t hen ubuntu. The ubuntu grup loader will find your windows partition [05:19] OK [05:19] i am using nero 9 [05:19] cliff_, acpi is not a hard drive type? i have had problems like you describe with certain SCSI controller cards, however any IDE or SATA should work fine [05:19] mchelen i am using acpi but am getting a new hard drive tommorrow so i can get xp off of here what would you recomend? [05:19] and i need a hand [05:19] Nice to see ubuntu is the largest forum on freenode. it has growen considerably. [05:19] anyone wanna pm me? [05:19] wsgordon, sure thanks it just helps people to keep up with a particular issue :) [05:20] I'll take a look at supergrub (lovely name). Yeah, windows was (is) installed first. [05:20] can you log in at boot as sudo ? [05:20] !burn [05:20] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:20] Is the name of the environment variable 'EDITOR', 'VISUAL' or 'EDITOR/VISUAL'? (see man environ: "The user's preferred utility to edit text files.") [05:20] cliff_, acpi is a type of system power management, not really related to hard drives :) [05:20] ipndrmath : i always keep a supergrub disk around incase I need to restore the mbr. it always seems to work and allows me to modify it as needed [05:20] cliff_, do you know what motherboard you have, and if there is a separate hard disk controller? [05:20] wsgordon ubuntu frowns on logging in as root for your own safety [05:21] oh not sure then it is formatted as fat32 hard disk controller is on mother board [05:21] wsgordon, oh yeah, this place is great, helped me learn a lot when first using ubuntu :) [05:21] is there a command i can type to see what hard ware i have? [05:21] wsgordon, use the recovery console if you need to fix something [05:21] wsgordon, you should not have any need to [05:22] DaveKong i know ubuntu does not like sudo, but I cannot reboot to an installed ubuntu system because there are issues after booting [05:22] amstell: I have a lot of reading to do on supergrub, so I'm disconnecting. Thanks for your help! [05:22] cliff_, it is probably fine, the thing that can get confusing is figuring out which hard drive is used at boot time, and getting ubuntu installed on that one [05:22] wsgordon, then take mchelen's advice [05:23] DaveKong I install and set a password, but the password does not work once i boot to the install and not the live cd [05:23] ipndrmath : when loading it up....they really help you in understanding whats going on....but make sure you understand partitioning first [05:23] wsgordon: then to the recovery console then. Reboot, after POST hit ESC to get to the grub menu [05:23] wsgordon, that is very strange, i think you can fix it from the recovery console though [05:23] ipndrmath : good luck....and stick with it.....nothing to loose [05:24] mchelen i had all that figured out, but still would like to know what all is inside my computer as i will be upgrading over the next few weeks is there a way to see that? [05:24] wsgordon, check for caps lock, make sure you have the user name and password correct, you could set to auto login with the most recent version [05:24] amstell: yeah, thanks, I'll probly be back [05:24] cliff_, yup there are many, many ways, just thinking what to recommend :) [05:24] Defiance, http://www.download.com/Active-ISO-Burner/3000-2646_4-10602452.html?tag=mncol [05:24] ok [05:24] ipndrmath : the forums are great as well....(ubuntuforums.org)....cheers brotha [05:25] hi there [05:25] I have Timout Error in my DVB [05:25] How do I join different networks that arn't on the list...? [05:26] cliff_, do you mean in windows or in ubuntu? === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [05:26] UBUNTU [05:26] How do I know if the firewall is on or off in Ubuntu 8.04? [05:26] Ubuntu 8.10, is it possible to make the menus of a program "map" to a panel like on MacOS? [05:26] ubuntu [05:26] wsgordon, maybe you mixed up user name and what you called your machine? I am not really sure... [05:26] Brack10 : avant-window-navigator [05:27] yeah I have AWN [05:27] that's a setting in there? [05:27] cliff_, you can start with the Sysinfo program, you might need to install from Add/Remove [05:27] i use mp3blaster in my ubuntu terminal but it says Failed to open sournd device? any ideas? [05:27] CyBurnet_ Go there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall [05:27] Brack10 : what do you want to "map"...i don't undrstand [05:27] wow [05:27] amstell: On a mac when you open a program, the menus (file, edit, etc) are accessible by the top panel. The program doesn't have its own menus [05:28] !iptables | CyBurnett [05:28] CyBurnett: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [05:28] can anyone tell me the cmd to send a msg to an offline user? [05:28] doing so now [05:28] Brack10 : ohhh.....there is a manager that allows you to do that but it doesn't work to well....I honestly can't think of the name of it right now.... [05:28] ok [05:28] i use mp3blaster in my ubuntu terminal but it says Failed to open sournd device? any ideas? [05:28] joanki123, write .. I think [05:28] I just really like that feature, it saves space [05:28] oops [05:29] Brack10 : let me sit on it, maybe it will come....but there is a way to do it (just like anything in linux) [05:29] I'm on mac4lin right now and it rocks [05:29] Ubuntu 8.10 + Compiz + Mac4lin = awesome [05:29] scunizi, do you know where i can find help on it? [05:29] is there a cmd i can type? [05:30] Brack10 : I honestly think that that feature in Mac is awful. It would drive me nuts if my UI was configured l like that...just MHO [05:30] it takes some getting used to [05:30] zzlyzq_: change sound device->> Double Click on Sound in UP panel and File -> Change ;) [05:30] joanki123, type man write in a terminal [05:30] what is Mac4lin ?! [05:30] ty [05:30] but I've been using a mac for the last week and each app having its own menus is driving me nuts [05:30] Brack10 : i have used macs and that is why I choose linu [05:30] yeah [05:30] Brack10 : sorry. Check with someone else.....i was just curious [05:30] :) [05:30] anyone know what font that is ? http://fc91.deviantart.com/fs7/i/2005/365/1/8/Platinum_Openbox_by_all_hope.png thanks [05:31] Is there a way to get sysinfo to give a nice printer friendly all info page? [05:31] agreed but I like the mac UI so now I have the best of both worlds [05:31] Brack10 : thats what great about linux.....there are no UI restrictions so play away [05:31] yeah [05:31] how to find if my soundcard installed ready? [05:32] lsmod | grep snd [05:32] although I found out that KDE is a big pile of crap compared to gnome [05:32] Hello All. I am trying to share an entire drive with my windows network. I have samba installed and need to know how I can share this entire drive not just the folders contained no it. I am familiar with the conf file. [05:32] zzlysq : lsmod | grep snd [05:32] zzlyzq_ : lspci [05:32] send joanki test [05:32] oh right this is a support channel [05:32] ugh [05:32] sorry [05:32] ./send joanki test [05:32] Brack10 : i couldn't agreee with you more....

[05:33] you send a memo [05:33] Is the name of the environment variable 'EDITOR', 'VISUAL' or 'EDITOR/VISUAL'? (see man environ: "The user's preferred utility to edit text files.")

Anyone know what I can do about this? It has nothing to do with the theme as I've tried several. http://i35.tinypic.com/k053ex.png [05:36] memoserv with send [05:37] <_2> yep [05:37] Brack10 : what driver are you using 173 or 177? [05:38] Hello All. I am trying to share an entire drive with my windows network. I have samba installed and need to know how I can share this entire drive not just the folders contained no it. I am familiar with the conf file. [05:38] to use mp3blaster play mp3 files in the terminal [05:38] 177 [05:38] i find my soundcard is ac97 ! but why mp3blaster won't work! i have found something in google! it said that use mp3blaster -s /dev/dsp but i can't find dsp neither dsp* [05:39] zzlyzq : #2 : what are you trying to play : please respond with resonse.....your repeating a question already responded too [05:39] I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 server and trying to install dnsmasq and I'm getting "Package dnsmasq is not available, but is referred to by another package." (http://pastebin.com/m2cb7ea88). what's the problem? [05:39] <_2> anyone can tell me why i get "Dec 7 23:23:18 192 kernel: No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled" in /var/log/messages ? i mean it's obviously related to /boot/System* and may be a ubuntu bug ? modules do of course load, but the error message shouldn't be there. ??? [05:39] ok got it [05:39] <_2> zzlyzq why not use snd-ac97 ? [05:40] amstell: I'm using version 177 [05:40] hello guys who can tell me how to send messages to one people i think /msg is not a good idea [05:40] Brack10, what nvidia card do you have [05:40] Brack10 : I have had nothing but problesm with version 177....i have an nvidia 1500gt and I use 173 because of my problems with 177 [05:40] in fact this day is my sencond day to use irc.freenode.net [05:40] heya! [05:40] need help! [05:41] <_2> zzlyzq for ac97 sound cards use modules snd-ac97-bus snd-ac97-codec [05:41] scunizi: I have a 6600 GT I think [05:41] it's an old card [05:41] thankyou _2 [05:41] Brack10 : try driver 173 and see if that affects it at all...other than that. I don't know sorry [05:41] _2 can you tell me how to send messages to one people [05:41] so it's a nvidia thing then? [05:41] <_2> zzlyzq /msg name message [05:41] because if it helps, everything else works fine [05:41] can somebody help me? [05:41] compiz works great [05:41] 3d cube works awesome [05:41] Brack10, not that old.. but a good one.. I still have one I just took out when I put my new motherboard in.. use the 173 driver like amstell suggested [05:42] omegaomni, please ask a question [05:42] ok [05:42] <_2> zzlyzq yep that's how. [05:42] sorry. [05:42] Hello All. I am trying to share an entire drive with my windows network. I have samba installed and need to know how I can share this entire drive not just the folders contained no it. I am familiar with the conf file. [05:42] its that my network connectiong thingy dissapeared. [05:42] the thing with the auto eth0 [05:42] nm-applet omegaomni ? [05:42] I have no entries in /dev for my drives [05:42] yes. [05:42] Vern_Ulven : try mounting it : /dev/sda$ /mnt [05:43] amstell, which nvidia card do you have.. my new MB has an 8200 built in and the preformance sucks.. also 177 driver.. haven't tried the 173 or the new beta 180 [05:43] omegaomni, right click add to panel does not work? [05:43] scunizi : i have an 8500gt and i use the 173 drives because the 177 driver don't work properly [05:43] it does but i cant find what it is. [05:44] amstell, I'll give it a try.. thanks. [05:44] omegaomni, scroll down and look for the two monitors icon [05:44] the thing that configures what i need to get on the internet. [05:44] not the network monitor. [05:44] scunizi : i tend to learn towards the stable version instread of the new release. nvidia is great in providing us with drives but because they are proprietary, they don't always work properly [05:45] amstell: how can I tell which drive is what. The drive is mounted under it's label [05:45] amstell, totally agree. better than ati .. at least from my experience. [05:45] Vern_Ulven : you need to know your partitions [05:45] sudo fdisk -l [05:45] I'm also getting "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when doing "apt-get update" [05:45] scunizi : yes but from my understanding ATI provides open source drivers, never done much work with them though [05:46] eigma, feisty is eol [05:46] umm hello? [05:47] =/ [05:47] Boo! [05:47] does anyone here use ubuntu server as their desktop (adding packages such as xfce,etc...) ? [05:47] <_2> eigma binary-i386 ? [05:48] cin : why would you use the server edition as a dekstop? [05:48] amstell, so you can control what to put on it, i assume? [05:48] cin, I have.. you have a question? [05:48] cin: I tired once, for some reason it fails horribly. [05:48] I would like to write some basic command line C programs... compilers/editors are aviable to make this job easier? [05:48] Just use desktop [05:48] bazhang, _2: what should I do to install dnsmasq then? [05:48] amstell: fdisk -l only lists the ide drive not the SATA drive with the NTFS partition on it [05:48] MHz128, gcc, obviously [05:48] MHz128, editor choice is up to you [05:48] * jabagawee politely steps away from editor wars [05:49] <_2> eigma sudo apt-get install dnsmasq [05:49] Vern_Ulven : sorry but I am unfamiliar with SATA drives [05:49] scunizi: i am looking to setup a system to learn system programing and also do some database work and think it would be a good idead to get a lean system like ubunut server and ad what i need to it [05:49] _2: like I said, that tells me "Package dnsmasq is not available, but is referred to by another package." / "E: Package dnsmasq has no installation candidate" [05:49] <_2> jabagawee pico is better than emacs [05:49] amstell: thank you [05:49] * _2 starts an editor war... [05:49] can somebody pelase tell me where i can get my network connections thingy back? [05:50] _2, sure man, whatever floats your boat [05:50] What are the most popular graphical code editors? [05:50] Anyone can help me mount and share an SATA drive with an NTFS partition? [05:50] cin : system programming doesn't fully involve a server....learn the language first and then more on to database network development [05:50] MHz128, Eclipse is pretty popular, any particular language in mind? [05:50] cin : just a suggestion :) [05:50] mchelen, c/c++ [05:50] Vern_Ulven, what do you mean share? [05:51] <_2> !editors > MHz128 [05:51] MHz128, please see my private message [05:51] ...... [05:51] evening everyone [05:51] amstell:i know c/c++ and sql but never really done any systems programming on a linux machine [05:51] what UP? [05:51] cin, as a test bed.. you can go either way.. I've run 6.06 server and 8.04, 8.10 and then installed xubuntu-desktop for a graphical interface.. understand though that this setup is only a little different from installing the desktop and adding the other bits you need.. so either way. [05:51] where is pptpd log stored [05:52] mchelen: share using samba. the drive is mounted under it's label and I don't know a path to put in the conf file [05:52] ok [05:52] i am trying to connect vpn from winxp onto ubuntu pptpd server, cannot login, need to see some logs [05:52] cin : well if you want to do programming it always depends on what you want to program [05:52] what does "LTS" mean? [05:53] eigma : Long Term Support [05:53] eigma, long term support [05:53] <_2> !lts > eigma [05:53] eigma, please see my private message [05:53] wow, nice [05:53] a total of 4 replies [05:53] thanks guys :) [05:53] Vern_Ulven, you can enable it as a samba share from the GUI, right click the directory and there should be an option [05:53] <_2> 4 ? [05:54] mchelen, i believe that only works if you have nautilus-share installed. I could be wrong though. [05:54] mchelen: I would like to share the entire drive not just the folders on it. I see no option to share when I right click the drive [05:55] Vern_Ulven, where is mounted? [05:55] Vern_Ulven, share the folder that represents the drive under /media [05:55] lol i just lost all my files [05:55] <_2> someone can tell me why i get "Dec 7 23:23:18 192 kernel: No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled" in /var/log/messages ? i mean it's obviously related to /boot/System* and may be a ubuntu bug ? modules do of course load, but the error message shouldn't be there. ??? [05:55] piklesonfire, maybe but it provides an option to enable that from the directory properties [05:55] like 7 movies 14 xbox 360 games and various apps [05:55] picklesonfire: I will try that thanks [05:55] mchelen, thanks, i wasn't aware of that :] [05:55] idk what happened [05:55] awn glitchyness had nothing to do with the nvidia drivers [05:56] Brack10, which awn are you using? from Ubuntu repos or from the lp repos? [05:56] Brack10 : did you restart? Obviously hopeful? [05:56] Brack10, check out cairo as a substitute.. it's also very nice [05:56] I did restart [05:56] cario is not as stable as awn [05:56] sorry i was frozen thank you for help i am starting to get some of this stuff [05:56] I really want AWN though [05:57] I can't stand cairo [05:57] I love this terminal applet [05:57] Brack10, try using the AWN from the Launch Pad repositories, it seems much more stable on my system [05:57] Brack10 : what "glichesness" are you refering too? [05:57] I can't remember how I installed it, piklesonfire [05:57] <_2> five find them ? [05:57] lol no [05:57] amstell: I posted a screenshot earlier... let me see if I can grab another [05:58] im not worried [05:58] Brack10 : piklesonfire is right....make sure you are using the repos [05:58] they were just for seeding i have it all backed up [05:58] amstell: it's showing these strange blocks [05:58] piklesonfire: I don't remember which repository I used [05:58] hang on [05:58] Anyone know why Compiz is laggy; it's like it's running at 25FPS. Window drawing is faster/smooth when not using any desktop effects. Running 177 on a 9800GT. [05:58] well backed up on discs [05:58] Brack10 : check your sources and then sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator --reinstall [05:58] Brack10, amstell here's the link http://i35.tinypic.com/k053ex.png [05:58] <_2> five no it's a command, find /base/or/starting/dir -iname '*partial.name*' or find /path -type f | less [05:59] ah [05:59] <_2> five :) [05:59] Brack10, http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation tells you how to install [05:59] i think i have a gui for that [05:59] cuinzi : it looks like the seperater is messed up.... [05:59] piklesonfire, I'm pretty sure I used the distribution instructions [05:59] five, a good gui for find is catfish [05:59] the one for Ubuntu [06:00] will get [06:00] Brack10, yeah, skip those, use the launchpad :p [06:00] ok [06:00] whois Lasivian [06:00] ok [06:00] Brack10 : did you use the repos : sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [06:01] Thanks to all that helped me. It works now :) [06:01] amstell: not sure...is there some way in synaptic that I can find out which repository I used to install a program? [06:01] <_2> brack10 if not apt-cache policy packagename [06:02] btw, has anyone else noticed intrepid freezing up every 10 minutes or so? [06:02] nope [06:02] nope [06:02] is there a active sync program for linux for cell phones [06:02] eh, fckn clocksource and radeonhd seems to be a huge cause [06:02] Brack10 : check your System | Admin | Software sources [06:03] Brack10 : you using n 8.10? [06:03] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages [06:03] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [06:03] for awn [06:03] i must say that my system and Intrepid are getting along quite well [06:03] so that means I installed the right one, right? [06:04] Law506, mine is too now, but I've seen a few issues dealing w. clocksource [06:04] Brack10 : and what happens when you run | avant-window-navigator [06:05] well it starts up just fine, but it glitches out [06:05] with the blocks [06:05] Hey guys, installed shockwave flash player, and now every time I want to view any flash content I need to right click on it and enable it, how do I enable all flash content by default? [06:05] and now it's not showing open applications, but I'm not worried about that [06:05] so much [06:05] wsgordon, there's multisync, kmobile tools, moto4lin and probably several others. [06:05] I'm sure I just unchecked some config box by accident [06:05] khider, do you have flashblock installed? [06:05] Hey there if i have the headers and image of 2.6.27.9 why ubuntu show the 2.6.27.7 in the update manager? [06:06] Brack10 : sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator --reinstall [06:06] piklesonfire: Nope [06:06] Brack10 : maybe that will "rescrew" everything up.... :) [06:06] scunizi - thanks [06:06] Brack10 : or set everything right.... [06:06] ? [06:06] <_2> amstell rethreading the sucker are we :))) [06:07] _2 : what do you mean: [06:07] ? [06:07] Anybody know how to speed up Compiz? I have a 9800GT -.- [06:07] <_2> amstell nothing, just a comment on your comment, maybe that will "rescrew" everything [06:07] :-( [06:07] Hey guys, installed shockwave flash player, and now every time I want to view any flash content I need to right click on it and enable it, how do I enable all flash content by default? [06:08] _2 : just trying to untangle this *ucked up world we call linux [06:08] amstell, language please [06:08] rancur, try the 173 driver [06:08] khider : is flash enabled with yo do | about:plugins [06:08] bazhang : sorry man.... [06:08] oh? Will do. [06:09] <_2> amstell indeed. but it's not that tangled. compared to some os's [06:09] _2, like Vista. lolz [06:09] yeah, fresh intsll of 8.10 [06:09] err install [06:09] amstell: Yes [06:09] amstell: It is [06:09] _2 : no its completely tangled....how many version of vista are there....1......linux is becoming more and more completcated [06:10] amstell: there are 8 versions of Vista [06:10] <_2> amstell and 2 versions of linux actually, the 1.* and 2.* kernels [06:10] <_2> amstell subversions on the other hand. [06:11] amstell, and distros are pretty much countless. [06:11] rancur : ok....so how many version of linux are there....how many windows managers are there....you are talking abouit kernels which no new linux user will understand [06:11] Hey guys, installed shockwave flash player, and now every time I want to view any flash content I need to right click on it and enable it, how do I enable all flash content by default? [06:11] sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator --reinstall didn't do anything really [06:11] amstell, i understood kernels when i switched to linux, kernels are universal in operating systems ;p [06:11] so y'all are complaining about the balkanization of Linux distros? [06:12] piklesonfire : yes you did but you probably had formal understanding [06:13] <_2> brack10 it reinstalled the same package "in case there was an 'hickup' in the first attempt." [06:13] amstell, i try to teach as much about the kernel as a new user can handle when i switch friends and family over too though. [06:13] hi, how can i get the net traffic right the moment in ubuntu? [06:13] I see [06:13] now I can't figure out how to get it to show open apps now [06:13] Brack10, did you try the link i sent you? [06:13] scunizi: 173 no different. If I enable benchmark then everything runs a lot faster. [06:14] piklesonfire: can you please re-paste [06:14] as it is the Xorg with 2d Acceleration is faster (go figure) [06:14] <_2> brack10 'hickups' can include user deleting system files too... just an fyi. [06:14] sure think Brack10, just a moment while i locate the document again [06:14] rancur, what's benchmark? don't know that one.. and how do you enable it? [06:14] if you install Compiz Settings Manager in Synaptic, then run the Compiz Settings Manager, it's an available option [06:15] can you guys do apt-get update right now? [06:15] What is the role of 'VISUAL' that 'man environ' mentions? [06:15] Brack10, http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides there you go :] [06:15] rancur, ah.. in ccsm.. ok. never thought to look there. is that an option you can let run all the time? [06:15] <_2> Guest87920 what are you getting 404s ? [06:16] piklesonfire: oh yeah that's what I used to install [06:16] Don't think I should; heats the GPU up to 63C+, Everything is running in turbo as well, minimizing windows is way too fast. === izibi_ is now known as izibi [06:16] Brack10, what version of Ubuntu are you? [06:16] normal idle GPU is 51C for me [06:16] piklesonfire: intrepid [06:17] rancur, where is that option in ccsm? [06:17] Brack10, hold for a second while I check my sources.list, I'll paste my entry for AWN in here for you as well, so we can compare ;p [06:17] just search for it with the filter [06:18] piklesonfire : you are one of the few....my parents would never understand a kernel...they still the internet is a different computer [06:18] Brack10, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu intrepid main restricted universe multiverse - that is my entry for avant window navigator, do you have similar in your sources? [06:18] :) [06:18] ah it's down under "Extras" [06:18] rancur, doesn't show in my hardy install.. I'll have to check the ibex another time.. maybe a new feature in ibex's ccsm. [06:18] amstell, ROFL, that's WHY i educate people before i switch them over. I don't like phone calls at 3am asking what a kernel panic is and how to compile. [06:19] odd. [06:19] piklesonfire: apt-cache showsrc avant-window-navigator ? [06:19] rancur, nope.. it's there under extras.. filter didn't pick it up [06:19] Has anybody here ever used Samba as well as NFS? If so, what kind of speeds did you get (mb/second) with each one?? [06:19] 1200fps when I enable that [06:19] Brack10, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:20] piklesonfire : If someone doesn't understand how binary code works then how the hell do you explain to them a kernel operation? I start with the basics first....then more on.... :) [06:20] should i upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04? [06:20] what am i missing? [06:20] ok so if I uncheck "Disable limiter" I get 42fps [06:21] amstell, i simply explain the kernel is the core of the OS, that it is a translator... your drivers speak german, keyboard and mouse are italian, the monitor chinese, and software is all different languages, and that the kenrel simply helps them all get along :p [06:22] >:| [06:22] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:22] im sick of that. [06:22] piklesonfire: I don't have that entry [06:22] piklseonfire : no i agree with you. I just don't bother to explain something that doesn't really matter to someone who still has problems drafting emails in gmail......you pick your battles and you always win....thats the fight! [06:22] should I add? [06:22] sometimes theres sound in my ubuntu sometimes there isnt... === digitalfiz_ is now known as DigitalFiz [06:22] Brack10, go ahead and add that, then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:23] and its really irritating me... [06:23] see if it takes care of it for ya [06:23] Brack10 : if the reinstall dodnm [06:23] NFS? Samba? Anybody? Anybody use it? [06:23] amstell, totally agree with you there too, but that's why i don't switch those users to linux, i put em on mac and say call tech support. lmao [06:23] Roasted: yes [06:23] didn't work for you I don't think a source list update will work [06:23] Roasted, i have, but i've never done speed tests, sorry [06:23] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:23] ectos - what do you use? [06:24] Samba... I've used NFS in the past [06:24] ...but my needs are basic [06:24] Just sharing music across the network [06:24] will anybody tell me what this is?! [06:24] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:24] ectospam - have you ever noticed what kind of trasnfer speeds you pull? [06:24] amstell, i'm having him add the repository which holds the latest version of AWN, instead of Ubuntu's, it should update his to a newer version and hopefully get it working [06:24] Roasted: just whatever the network speed is, usually 3MB/s IIRC [06:25] piklesfire : if I felt like supporting apple ( which I don't) then I would have. It just doesn't make sense for a simple user to pay $2000 for a computer. How about a I build you a computer (dell) but linux on it (dell 8.10) and then sell it to you for cheap (dell)....thats why I bought my parents a dell. [06:25] when I look in $man set, I can't see anything on set -o noclobber, im going nuts [06:25] oh, okay... cause I was pulling 7MB/second... I wasn't sure if that was considered "good" or what [06:25] omegaomni: are those supposed to be pipes or bangs? [06:25] piklesonfire: no updates detected [06:25] amstell, good point [06:25] no.....thats what comes out when i change my soudn settings to alsa....the only working sound setting. [06:26] nothing happens when i place autodetect either. [06:26] piklesonfire : it just doesn't make sense to me that people are so ignorant on the fact that a mac is based on the MAC kernel for the first BSD system developed by the Univeristy of California Berkely [06:26] is there a better man file for the set command? [06:26] omegaomni: so that's not a shell command? [06:26] its an error i think. [06:26] but this is what comes out... [06:26] ectospasm - I assume 7Mb would be considered half decent? BTW did you say you used to use NFS? [06:26] stevej678: man bash maybe? [06:26] please guide me to ubuntu offtopic [06:27] Brack10, what version of AWN is installed? [06:27] thanks [06:27] sent you a PM. [06:27] Roasted: long time ago I used NFS for centralized home directories for basically a computer lab. [06:27] !ot | trancefat [06:27] trancefat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:27] What is the role of 'VISUAL' that 'man environ' mentions? [06:27] piklesonfire: 0.2.6 [06:27] scunizi: thanks [06:27] np [06:27] ectospasm - what was your experience like with it? I hear some people swear by it being simpler... but I found a gui tool for Samba. It takes me seconds to configure Samba. [06:28] 0.2.6~7ubuntu1 Brack10? [06:28] is there a way to make it so no icons not even the drive icons show up on the desktop? [06:28] yes [06:28] scunizi: is there some way i can login to both ubuntu and offtopic? [06:29] trancefat, sure.. what irc client are you using.? [06:29] <_2> stevej678 help set | less [06:29] scunizi: i m using XChat... i have just selected Auto join for offtopic... shud that do it? [06:29] piklesonfire: can I just completely reinstall it and erase all settings? [06:30] Brack10, try this for me. close awn then run the command apt-get --purge remove avant-window-navigator* awn-* [06:30] then run sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [06:30] piklesonfire : good chattin with you make....I'm out its getting late in California and the new swell gets in tonight. Peace [06:30] and run the first command as sudo, sorry [06:30] <_2> trancefat /join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:30] trancefat, if you want.. to join now.. just type /j #ubuntu-offtopic in the bar that you type messages in. [06:30] ahhhhh peace amstell, thanks for the tease [06:30] Roasted: NFS (not NFS+) was pretty easy to setup on Fedora 3/4, following the guide I had found. But it was completely insecure. Luckily the numbnuts using the "lab" didn't know their behind from a hole in the ground wrt Linux, so it was relatively safe. [06:30] piklesonfire: I tried the awn testing PPA and over half of the applets caused awn to crash. The version in the intrepid repos is very niuce here however. [06:30] scunizi: ok thanks [06:31] ardchoille, really, my ppa awn works great. [06:31] piklesonfire: That's the point, you can't tell how it's going to work from one computer to the next [06:31] is NFS+ a new thing? [06:32] ardchoille, yeah, that's true. but the reason i upgraded mine is because the ubuntu repo one crashed when loading. [06:32] <_2> Roasted define new. new compaired to linux, new compaired to computers, new compaired to dirt ??? [06:32] piklesonfire: Ah, ok, the intrepid version has worked flawlessly for me :) [06:32] I mean is NFS+ a "newer" version of NFS? Like how does it differ from NFS? === sean is now known as Guest1646 [06:32] ardchoille, that's awesome to hear :] maybe i should try it out again. but i like the plugins offered in ppa as well [06:32] Hey, someone was helping me with a dist-upgrade in another chan and now I lost him [06:33] piklesonfire: OK ran those 2 commands and it did the same thing as last time. Same glitches, didn't reset the applets, doesn't show open programs either [06:33] piklesonfire: yeah, I tried the PPA becuase of the plugins, but found them to be buggy... which is probably why the repo version doesn't have them. [06:33] hrm... Brack10, i have one last thing i'd like you to try [06:34] Brack10, try sudo apt-get install awn-manager-trunk [06:34] Brack10, that's the bzr version, and should give you the ppa one, not the one from ubuntu repos [06:34] <_2> umm why does apt-get dist-upgrade want to install linux-image-2.6.15-52-686 when i'm running 2.6.15-53-686 ??? [06:35] bzr? [06:35] ppa? [06:35] also did I need to remove the old one? [06:35] How to install without burning cd? [06:35] Brack10, it will remove the old one for you, ppa is equal to launchpad, which is the source i had you add earlier [06:35] <_2> oh never mind. i had that version installed too. my bad.

[06:59] first time was when redhat was popular like 8 years ago [07:00] PeterFA, I found this info on rdesktop for you http://www.netadmintools.com/art237.html [07:00] Brack10, the new fedora's pretty sweet. minus a few bugs here and there. lol [07:00] PeterFA: applications > Internet > Terminal services client on intrepid [07:00] heh [07:00] anyway this is the last time [07:00] PeterFA, there's also the man page - http://linux.die.net/man/1/rdesktop [07:01] Brack10, you should check out the Linux Documentation project there are some amazing guides [07:01] piklesonfire, thanks.

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [07:02] what happens if you've got an existing, say home folder, on one hard drive, and you mount another hard drive to the home folder. what happens to the files currently on it? on which device to new files get placed? [07:02] robert40: let me guess - you had it working in 8.04 but it wont connect in 8.10? [07:03] does anyone know of a good program to fix mp3 files? the problem is, the player says that the mp3 is only 5 minutes long, when it should be longer. if i'm at 4:10, and i try to go back to 4:05, it doesn't play what was playing 5 seconds ago, it plays something a few minutes ahead [07:03] as if, all the data is there, but sort of crammed within 5 minutes [07:03] mcpancakes, if you mount a drive as home, then new files will be placed there... and the files on the old home will be ignored [07:03] <_2> mcpancakes the files within a mountpoint become inaccessable as long as a device is mounted there [07:03] I appreciate linux so much as a sysadmin, I srsly want to use this as a desktop platform at work [07:04] I can see how it would pay for itself in productivity not having to deal with stupid microsoft issues all day long [07:04] Brack10, mention it to higher ups, some companies will appreciate it for cost saving benefits alone [07:04] it's my decision [07:04] only about 50 desktops [07:04] Brack10, do eet lol [07:05] ah, so the local files would be temporarily unavailable. and I assume linux just doesn't allow two devices to be mounted to the same folder? [07:05] I want to [07:05] I have very few custom apps [07:05] Brack10, good luck increasing productivity with all the distractions like Wesnoth, Tremulous, ... :-D [07:05] mcpancakes, exactly [07:05] heh [07:05] <_2> mcpancakes there are exceptions, such as "unionfs" which combines the two rather than the normal mount on top of methood [07:05] I mean for my users [07:06] _2, very good point to mention [07:06] when they need IE for a stupid website they can just terminal service into my windows server [07:06] Brack10, ah, you can also claim it fosters good colleague relationships with regular lunch social functions :-D [07:06] Brack10, or they can use oprea's identify as IE feature ;p [07:06] ah, mplayer is reading it correctly it seems [07:06] true [07:06] How to install from iso into dedicated partition? I have windows too [07:06] <_2> piklesonfire heh i was going to say that in the first reply to mcpancakes but couldn't remember the name of the fs heh...

[07:17] Brack10, try avant-* [07:17] I had an ipod mounted and I right clicked on the device to change mount options to rw, but now I cant mount it at all, and get the error that I have invalid mount options. However to access those mount options through the GUI, the volume must be mounted. So what file do I edit to change my ipod mount options? [07:17] <_2> Brack10 try with sudo apt-get remove --purge avant* [07:17] <_2> i forget which accepts wildcards [07:18] wait now it did this [07:18] Removing python-utidylib ...

[07:18] piklesonfire: RADEON 2400 HD, using various drivers, most recently the ati proprietary version, with aticonfig [07:18] nilson, you need to edit /etc/fstab [07:18] nilson, that controls mount points and options === anya is now known as ssssssss [07:18] tyebud, let me see what i can find, but i know ati and its tv out is pretty iffy [07:19] i cant get wifi to work anylonger [07:19] piklesonfire: Yeah, that's what I've been hearing..

I believe this is relative to gnome. [07:20] haha [07:20] my fstab only has the hard disk stuff [07:20] how do I get it bacckkkk [07:20] nilson, ipod is a hard disk, and if it's not in there, you can add it. [07:20] <_2> Brack10 just a sec.

[07:21] ndiswrpper also [07:21] tyebud, i'm looking into you're issue, i promise :] [07:21] Gnome stores its mount options for plug-n-play devices like this somewere [07:21] I'm reinstalling them anyway [07:21] I need to reeset mine [07:21] Brack10, yeah, reinstall those :] [07:21] isn't alsaaudio important? [07:22] <_2> Brack10 it's not alsaaudio it's python-alsaaudio bige differance [07:22] <_2> bige ? [07:22] twhen the device is mounted then there is a GUI to change mount options, hover I changed the mount options to something which will no longer mount [07:22] picklesonfire - networkmanager can see the wieliess network(windows can connect to it no probs) but it tries to connect then disconnects [07:22] <_2> wow. maybe i need sleep [07:22] now I cant mount it, or change those options [07:22] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "avant-*" [07:22] I need ot know what file gnome stores those settings in (its not fstab) [07:23] but then if I run avant-window-navigator it comes up with my corrupt version === anya is now known as baik [07:23] with the weird bards [07:23] piklesonfire: My problem is, on a recent install I was able to control the --tv-geometry through aticonfig. But on this install, I can't. I speculate that it has something to do with my various attempts at driver installs. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with driver conflicts. So I need to know how to find all the drivers installed, remove them, and start with a fresh, single, install [07:23] bars* [07:23] nilson: it's something like ~/.gnome2 iirc [07:23] piklesonfire: Thank you by the way :) [07:23] I can even change the theme of my little mini glitch bar [07:24] l7, yeah I was goig to start lookin gthrough there [07:24] tyebud, np [07:24] <_2> Brack10 COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l > list and send me the list [07:24] ooh now it kinda works even === anya is now known as begok [07:24] <_2> or not [07:24] tyebud, dude, from what i'm reading, you're lucky to even have tv out at all w. that card :p [07:24] tyebud, still searching though [07:25] luddite, sorry, i don't work w. ndiswrapper or anything that uses it =/ [07:25] and nilson i'd check the gconf then [07:25] anyone know of a good guide to uninstall pulse audio and replace it with ALSA in intrepid?

But I'm confident there is a way. There has to be. Please god, there has to be [07:26] picklesonfire - that ok mate [07:26] <_2> hmmm must be a firewall issue.

Take your time [07:33] Brack10: ah, nevermind - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 [07:33] not available for Linux :( [07:33] ...so i followed a guide to uninstall pulse audio and then installed also, or at least that's what it said i was doing, my audio works in firefox but no longer works for things like amarok/rhythm box/ or anything else besides firefox, any ideas on what else I can do? (everything in sounds is set for ALSA as well) [07:34] and then installed ALSA*, sry [07:34] ok so I FINALLY got it completely uninstalled and re-installed and it still remembered my settings [07:34] and is still glitchy as hell [07:34] anyone? :) [07:34] bdelin88, if it's set to alsa, you may want to google to see if there's any known issues/workarounds for those apps [07:34] Brack10, if you purged it, it def shouldn't remember your settings [07:34] piklesonfire: they worked fine in gutsy with alsa [07:35] I did purge it [07:35] http://i35.tinypic.com/2rq29hj.png [07:35] bdelin88, i understand that, but things change dist to dist [07:35] piklesonfire: you don't think they would still carry the support for old sound systsems? [07:35] Brack10, one sec, i'm trying to see if i can find where awn stores the config files so you can manually erase them to see if that helps [07:35] <_2> Brack10 k, if you want to purge all avant* try this. sudo aptitude purge avant-window-navigator avant-window-navigator-data-trunk avant-window-navigator-trunk awn-applets-c-core awn-manager awn-manager-trunk libawn-extras0 libawn0 libawn0-trunk python-awn-trunk [07:36] bdelin88, i do, but i've heard of certain issues, i did the same thing on another install of intrepid i had running on a desktop, several apps needed workarounds to get sound up and running [07:36] <_2> that's everything that the package manager knows about, if you have another version you must have compiled it or something. [07:37] piklesonfire: well i killed pulse to try and install alsa because I wanted audacity work... dang ubuntu is so much work [07:37] ahh I think I got it to work [07:37] bdelin88, haha, it happens man, it happens. if you don't mind me asking, why switch from pulse to alsa? [07:38] piklesonfire: ...because audacity works on alsa :) [07:38] yep it's working [07:38] NO GLITCHES [07:38] magic lamp working too [07:38] awesome!

[07:52] did you receive link ? [07:52] i see. bdelin88, is it worth me downloading the windows driver and using ndiswrapper? [07:52] rather than compiling the linux driver.. [07:52] dukenukem: never tried that... compiling really isn't that bad though [07:53] oh lovely [07:53] i'll give compiling a shot then. so what's this link you have for me?

[07:56] What can I do ? [07:56] erikja, try esc? [07:56] dukenukem: also if you compile and it tells you that something is missing, you just look up what is missing in the package manager or on google to figure out where to get it, then install it, got it? [07:56] what is messa library? [07:56] can anyone here walk me through nfs? i looked at the ubuntu how-to but i dont get all that stuff at the beginning. [07:56] piklesonfire, Ok, thanks I will try ti [07:57] dukenukem: well if you look at that guide, compiling, even though it seems scary to windows users like you and i, isn't really that bad... [07:57] s/ti/it [07:57] <_2> erikja you'll either have to tell your terminal not to catch f10 or tell mc to use a different key the mc config would be my way of doing it. [07:57] rookeeeeeeeee, what are you using nfs for? [07:57] piklesonfire, unfortunately it dosen't work [07:58] two computers on a small home network, sloopy [07:58] hi [07:58] oooookie guys, i'll brb, i need some milk and oreos [07:58] _2, why not catch F10 ? [07:58] piklesonfire: wait [07:58] anyone here know much about setting up a computer to act as a firewall [07:59] piklesonfire: was that all i have to do? lol you told me to wait :) [07:59] bdelin88, what's up dude? [07:59] rookeeeeeeeee, usually samba is considered more secure, but what part are you having issues with? [07:59] ah bdelin88 sorry, i thought you said one sec too lol [07:59] sloopy can we talk in pm [07:59] rookeeeeeeeee, yes [07:59] oh no sry i was just talkin to dude [07:59] <_2> erikja because the terminal is accepting the f10 as a hotkey rather than passing it on to mc. alternatively you can mouse the f10 button of the mc app [07:59] _2, I will try to puzzle with it [07:59] piklesonfire: *oh no sry i was just talkin to duke** [07:59] _2, ok thanks [07:59] piklesonfire: do you need to go? [08:00] bdelin88, http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/ - follow in reverse :p [08:00] <_2> erikja welcome [08:00] I have a windows process that needs to get files from a networked mapped drive s://folder/folder1 and I want to run that same process on Linux. How do I make Linux "read" that file address?? [08:00] skipping the steps to actually setup alsa, of course. just remove alsa, reinstall pulse, you should be okie [08:00] * _2 has found many weaknesses in mc but still uses it. [08:00] piklesonfire: haha alright man, thank you [08:00] bdelin88, np [08:00] piklesonfire: nice! this is the guide i used earlier, was looking for this for forever :) [08:01] bdelin88, haha, google-ninja my friend, i'm a google effin ninja [08:01] somehow i've managed to disable the network when the comp restarts, anyone know how to fix this? (ubuntu 8.04 server) [08:01] heh [08:02] <_2> ddoom you mean like sudo ifup eth0 ??? [08:03] _2: yes thats what I have to do everytime the comp restarts, I want the network to be enabled without having to do that [08:03] ddoom, _2, you can also try ifconfig eth0 up [08:03] <_2> i'm thinking you have messed up the interfaces file but im no net admin [08:03] sloopy i guess i need this but i do not know how to get http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=mesa+7.1+ubuntu&spell=1 [08:03] <_2> piklesonfire if ifup doesn't do it, ifconfig without any ip prolly wont either, but yeah [08:04] Why are there two environment variables 'EDI'TOR' and 'VISUAL' that 'man environ' mentions which have the same meaning? [08:04] _2, very true. but if the interfaces file is intact, and it's static, or gets it from dhcp, it should. [08:04] cliff_, dunno but sounds reasonable [08:04] <_2> piklesonfire as should ifup [08:04] ok i will figure ou t [08:05] _2, agreed, just mentioning another way.. lol [08:05] hej, oprofile is broken on 8.10 and noboday seems to care in bugs.launchpad.net, can anyone help to brinf this to attention?

[08:33] deoks, it has a minimum time of 1 minute but I want instant lock session [08:33] hey incepator___ [08:34] piklesonfire: kinda. i just installed xerces, a c++ xml library. now i'm trying to compile the example and it tells me that it doesn't know where the *.hpp is on the system [08:34] lodder, using xen i presume? [08:35] piklesonfire: so maybe i need the right -l instead [08:35] ozzloy, use find to locate it? [08:35] <_2> piklesonfire just a note on apt-file it's good for packages not installed, but for people with slower connections, the database takes time to update, and if the intent is to search within packages on the system dpkg can do that. [08:35] _2, ah, sorry, thank you for the insight. [08:35] How do you set the sound card Java is using in Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy 32 bit)? [08:36] My music player crash Why ? i am using ubuntu 8.10 Rythmbox [08:36] usamahashimi: nope.

Did you check the repos? [08:39] after unpacking it there was only a .src file [08:39] it's usually "./configure" "sudo make" "sudo make install" but, not always [08:39] thankx, Pici [08:39] piklesonfire: it's best to "make" as user, then "sudo make install" [08:39] ardochoille it's not in repo [08:39] piklesonfire: yeah, i did that. it's not by that name [08:39] user__: ok [08:40] piklesonfire: but i already installed libxerces-c28 [08:40] ok, I'll try with the howto of the site ubottu told me [08:41] HEy guys can someone explain to me why the 8.10 is comming so damn late?

[08:52] no, you need to have i2p installed [08:52] Piklesonfire, I type "rm -r /var/lib" no f [08:52] or: http://echelon.i2p.to/imule/iMule-1.3.3-src.tbz [08:52] but it's damn slow [08:52] I'm getting 3 ; 4 second freezouts in firefox periodically [08:52] Coolrazor, ahhhh, crap dude, and i'm guessing you were root?

[08:56] * _2 suggests to user__ learning color codes of the terminal command ls [08:56] I hope you're not mad with me. Thanks for your help, guys. And yes, you can laugh about me. I won't do that mistake again [08:56] !paste [08:56] 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) [08:56] why be a windoze zombie when you can use linux and actually use your brain [08:56] like it used to be [08:57] in the world of computers [08:57] Coolrazor, sadly, i THINK it's under the /var/lib folder, but if you open synaptic, reinstall all packages that are installed, it MAY bring your system back [08:57] <_2> taterpeel cause vedging out is like so dope dude [08:57] lol [08:57] user__: No one's laughing, we all had to learn at some point. [08:58] I'm getting 3 ; 4 second freezouts in firefox periodically. [08:58] user__, exactly, no one is a linux power user over night ;p [08:58] could anyone help me out with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/82365/ [08:58] i did the ./configure now and last message is a "checking for zlib in peer directory... no [08:58] configure: error: unable to use zlib - no peer found [08:58] " that's something to worry about? [08:59] user__, open synaptic, search for zlib, install ;] [08:59] you'll want the -dev packages for compiling [08:59] piklesonfire i guess i'll never be one, but i'm trying my best. and i've been on linux only for two days now [08:59] Was wondering if anyone know of any dbus documentation for gvfs? [09:00] piklesonfire, ok thx [09:00] user__, you'll make it some day, no worries dude ;p [09:00] Piklesonfire, I just tried to reinstall mysql and got " Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock" [tear] [09:00] after i add someting to /etc/modules how can i get it to be added/recognised without rebooting? [09:00] Wartorn, i'm not familiar with it, but what exactly are you trying to do? [09:00] <_2> user__ maybe apt-get isntall zlib-bin zlibc ??? [09:01] Communicate with gvfs, for an example get a gvfs mountpoint by usb ID [09:01] zlib1g is already installed, but not zlibc, do i need that one? [09:01] luddite, "sudo modprobe [module you added]" [09:01] ok [09:01] i can communicate with HAL to get lots of information (about, say, a camera) [09:01] but not any mount points [09:01] if the camera is PTP [09:02] how do i just get aptitude to show me the files it places for the package libxerces-c28-dev ? [09:02] can anyone help me set up nfs [09:02] piklesonfire - thanks :-) [09:02] aptitude show libxerces-c28-dev is almost-but-not-quite what i want [09:02] Coolrazor, sorry man, you MIGHT be sol. _2 any ideas dude? [09:02] luddite, any time [09:02] still same error [09:02] <_2> ozzloy use dpkg for that. dpkg -L packagename [09:03] user__, -dev packages too, that's why i advised to use synaptic ;] [09:03] _2: thanks [09:03] hey guys, how can i make sure webmin is running on my ubuntu? [09:03] !webmin | drag0n` [09:03] drag0n`: 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. [09:03] piklesonfire zlib1g-dev? [09:04] !ebox [09:04] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [09:04] how do i remove the atheros drivers? [09:04] i can de-activate them but not remove them [09:04] ardchoille, but it was running fine for the past year though [09:04] drag0n`: running and supported are two different things :) [09:04] it's probably something like libzlib-dev, user__ [09:05] drag0n`: i.e. we can't help you with webmin [09:05] ardchoille, yeah, if it doesnt support it, it shouldnt run from teh start, right? [09:05] ah ok [09:05] gotcha [09:05] _2: thanks! i needed to -llibxerces-c [09:05] <_2> luddite most modules are part of the kenrel package if the atheros is, then you can't (you could delete it, but not remove it) [09:05] drag0n`: it may run great, but we can't support it [09:05] er... g++ -lxerces-c [09:05] _2 - how do i delete it please [09:05] piklesonfire zlib1g-dev workd for that error. now i still need wxwidgets but entering this term in synaptic renders nothing, but there are a lot of wx2 things [09:05] <_2> ozzloy kewl. [09:06] drag0n`: if you decide to use ebox, please read the two warnings at the top of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [09:06] luddite, as _2 stated, if it's part of the kernel you can't totally remove it. and atheros is part of the kernel (to my understanding) [09:06] !webmin [09:06] 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. [09:06] <_2> luddite i suggest against it, but the rm command as superuser the file is somewhere in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ [09:07] <_2> luddite at least test by first moving it to a safe place. [09:07] ok thnks [09:07] <_2> luddite that way you can replace it if needed. [09:07] piklesonfire: thanks to you too! [09:07] i will move it to the trash can :-) [09:07] user__, you'll probably want the libwxbase2.8--dev [09:07] <_2> it's your funural. [09:07] ozzloy, any time [09:08] i was kidding [09:08] ok, if I can't fix deleting my /var/lib directory, then how do I backup mysql so I can reimport the databases after I fallback to an earlier server state? Where are mysql database files stored? [09:08] _2, at least if luddite moves it to the trash can she can restore it... i'm with you, i advise strongly against it [09:08] ok - will try in morning - must go out and bingedrink tonight [09:08] Coolrazor, you can use mysql to export the tables [09:09] Coolrazor, sadly, i don't know it off hand, google "linux" "mysql" "dump" or "export" and you should get what you need [09:10] piklesonfire: If you found something let me know [09:10] piklesonfire, ok thanks for your help. We'll see if I can't restore without any real data loss =) [09:10] <_2> hey i don't mind answering questions, as long as the customer knows what they want, even if it's "how do i blank my complete hdd while linux is running...." pfft. [09:10] lodder, i've got nothing man, but i'm still searching too. heh, i don't quit too easily [09:10] i'm wondering why it is i don't have the option of "wireless" connection in my network settings. can anybody think why this is the case? [09:11] "sudo rm -rf /" rofl [09:11] when the wireless doesnt worm why doesnt it give better error reports? [09:11] dukenukem, if you're wireless drivers aren't installed [09:11] <_2> piklesonfire no. cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdd :))) [09:11] _2, ROFL, i like that one too [09:11] pickles, they were installed, then it said they were "restricted" and now there is no wireless [09:12] does this make any sense? [09:12] _2, or in my case sda [09:12] <_2> yep. [09:12] i'm sorry i have searched forums and i have books i'm following but i'm still getting nowhere [09:12] dukenukem, yeah, check the restricted drivers manager, see if there's a driver listed in there, if it is, install, restart, check the wireless again [09:13] thanks pickles, i'll have a look there. makes sense. [09:13] Is there an alternative thumbnail app rather than using ImageMagicks woefully poor API? Yeah, they updated, and yeah there aren't any debs for the latest version [09:13] anyone here done any work customizing their interface that could point me to a howto? [09:14] dukenukem, np :] [09:14] If there was a thumbnail tool that was optimised to create multiple version using one in memory version of the image, one file load, and then save out all requested versions, that would be good [09:14] reqqit: To generate thumbnails? Imagemagick is honestly easiest... for i in * ; do convert -thumbnail 240x240 $i $i.jpg ; done [09:14] arrenlex, yeah, think about it a little more, and you see the flaws in that [09:14] pickles, it says that my hardware does not need restricted drivers. [09:14] I know it sounds pretty... trivial, but was really impressed recently with some linux layouts and wouldn't mind giving a shot to a few desktop improvements [09:15] if you want to change aspect of produce thumbnail, you can make as many as 3 resizes, unless you use newer syntax, which there are no debs, and I loath the fact that it took them so long to even recognize this as a feature [09:15] wow xchat gnome must be a ghetto version, this alot better [09:15] but am still new enough to prefer a little guidance [09:15] gbear14275, gnome-look is a great place to start at customizing the look of your gnome interface [09:15] i'll tell you what i did earlier. i downloaded linux drivers. i navigated to the folder in terminal and "make" and "make install" and it seemed to install.. then it said it was "restricted" and now i can't see a wireless option in the network settings. [09:15] piklesonfire: well I have manage to get an installation based debootstrap and then install ubuntu-desktop but the sudo doesn't work then [09:15] arrenlex, would you drive a car that took 6 years to decide that a handbrake was a good idea? (ok, some mercedes have a footbrake, and that is kinda cool) [09:15] lodder, hm, that's interesting. [09:15] piklesonfire: I've been looking around there some, my biggest hurldle right now is trying to understand what compiz, gtk, etc. do and how they play together [09:16] lodder, tbh, i've never used ubuntu under a dom [09:16] if i ever get this to work imma gonna blog it for other frustrated users. [09:16] piklesonfire: ah [09:16] I am thinking to just write my own, but come on. Load image, resize it using a simple thumbnail syntax... I'll check google code and sf.net [09:16] Mac OS ftw! [09:16] can anyone tell me how to play the files on this page? http://www.madhouselive.com/jinstewart/ [09:16] I've seen some really amazing layouts and would like to understand what some of the more common plugins are... like, what i can use to view network throughput and cpu speeds and RAM available, etc. [09:16] reqqit: What do you mean by change the aspect? You can force it to resize exactly to the numbers you give, which will give it a different aspect. You just need a !. [09:17] play what files [09:17] the pranks roger_ [09:17] reqqit: thats a silly analogy. Relating ImageMagick to a car it already has a well tuned engine, a handbreak, a stearing wheel and every normal common applicance you might need. Perhaps its lacking heated seats, but that isn't a core piece of the requirements. [09:17] i wonder if some nice person in this room with some experience with wireless on ubuntu might be able to private message me [09:17] can somebody please help me fix my pulse audio? [09:17] reqqit: Frankly, what you're suggesting is relatively minor. There is nothing against you of course, obtaining the most recent version and ammending it as you see fit. [09:17] consider it a challenge, i have spent considerable time trying to get this to work. [09:18] hey remote i jsut got mine going last night [09:18] you have no sound right [09:18] reqqit: I have not used any other apps myself, but a search through the repos shows several. galrey says it makes thumbnails. What have you looked into so far? [09:18] dukenukem: what are you trying to work on? [09:18] and using sound blaster live 24 bit [09:18] gbear, do you mind if i private messsage you? [09:18] vista ftw [09:18] can anyone tell me how to play the files on this page? http://www.madhouselive.com/jinstewart/ [09:18] piklesonfire: http://dmarkey.com/wordpress/?p=16 here is a good start for what I used, but if you could point me into the right direction for the sudo thing would be greate [09:18] no, but i can't promise to help ;) [09:18] roger_: well it keeps crashing, amarok fex. always says xine was unable to initialize audio drivers [09:19] lodder, thanks for the link, let me have a look, i'll pm you in a min [09:19] rookeeeeeeeee: if you're trying to play them via gstreamer (or a gstreamer based app, such as totem) you need to install the gstreamer bad plugins [09:19] piklesonfire: k [09:19] is there a forum for general help [09:19] oh thanks [09:19] or a channel even [09:19] roger_: then if i kill all /dev/snd and /dev/dsp it basically works again but amarok still causes ugly troubel [09:19] rookeeeeeeeee: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is the package iirc. [09:19] rookeeeeeeeee: select a link you want to play, open your prefered media player, select Open URL (or similar), paste the address, hit play [09:19] rookeeeeeeeee: assuming you're running Ibex. [09:20] piklesonfire: thank you. finally it worked. I had to dl many other things like flex, java-gcj-compat, and wxgtk [09:20] thanks [09:20] yes Johnm [09:20] user__, any time buddy :] [09:20] :-) [09:20] Linux sux! [09:20] I've got a wierd problem i got my cell phone wet earlier today not alot but just a little and it stopped working, so i wated about 5 hours and tried to turn it back on [09:20] and it looks like its working just fine but it constantly vibrates [09:21] anything i can do or is it broken? [09:21] .. [09:21] Ack, the two mysql dump commands I found aren't working because /var/lib is gone. :( i tried: "mysqldump" and "mysqlhotcopy" [09:21] !enter | Deadboys [09:21] Deadboys: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:21] Deadboys: how's this ubuntu related? [09:21] mib_m4pruk: You're of course welcome to your own opinion however much it lacks technical backing, but perhaps trolling could be done elsewhere? [09:21] Hi All [09:21] Deadboys: [09:21] Johnm: Do not feed the trolls. [09:21] !offtopic | Deadboys [09:21] Deadboys: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:21] its not im sorry but does anyone know. === Scarecro1 is now known as Evilscare [09:22] Deadboys: oops, take it apart and use rubbing alcohol on it, it will displace the water but will evaporate from fine spaces UNlike water [09:22] Johnm: Just kidding, watned to see your reactions in here. A quick way to see how people react to other users. Whether they are pure fanboys or not. [09:22] deadboys, put it in your car w. the heater on high. [09:22] let it dry for about 2 days [09:22] Coolrazor: Your problem looks similar to what I went through a few weeks ago, but I missed your initial description of the problem. What did you run into? [09:22] okay thanks and ill keep on subject [09:22] I'm getting 3 ; 4 second freezouts in firefox periodically. [09:23] i am trying to install wireless. i downloaded the linux drivers from the manufacturers website (tp-link). i *think* i installed the drivers by cd'ing to the drivers and "make" "make instal"-ing it. it did its thing, then said the drivers are "restricted". should i give up and try ndiswrapper or should i persevere? [09:23] arrenlex, if Coolrazor is still talking about the same issue he was earlier, it was he deleted the /var/lib directory [09:23] mib_m4pruk: generally not a good approach to it :) [09:23] Johnm, no, I think thumbnailing is really a fundamental issue, and fixed aspect thumbnails are really important, the current 8.10 IM in repo doesn't support it without 3 in memory resizes, really, that is crazy - scares me in fact, I am looking for others (I love imagemagick, but I'll check for something more specific, I have 100,000 5mp+ images that need to be processed for a project) [09:23] now an on topic question does anyone know anything about running ibex in a dual boot environmet with windows 7 [09:23] arrenlex, I deleted my /var/lib directory... not fun. So, since I can't rebuild it, that I know of, I'm trying to backup mysql to do a restore of the server (test/non-production server) [09:24] * Xer0 w00tz [09:24] Coolrazor: I believe /var/lib/mysql is where mysql stores its databases. If you deleted that I don't think you have much left to back up. [09:24] my teminal and pop up boxes show a blank area [09:24] reqqit: What I'm trying to say is generally, it doesn exactly as you need. It might not support a specific function you require, but thats when the benefits of OS licensing helps. I don't see the requirement to resize multiple times on a single pass as a fundemental requirement personally. But thats likely because I've never needed to do so. [09:24] Hello Everyone! [09:25] hmm. okay. uhm. is there a way i can tell what drivers i have installed? [09:25] dukenukem: for what device [09:25] wireless. [09:25] ...serious? That's just awesome... Well, I guess I learned a valuable lesson. I'll keep looking though [09:25] damn - no drinks- cancelled [09:25] dukenukem the drivers are part of the kernel unless the device is not supported [09:25] i use airdriver-ng [09:25] Johnm, I agree, and it does do what I want, but it is a really old app that has just fixed on really really quite important, and probably, the single most used function of it (I'd guess by 99.99%) [09:25] when i plug the wireless device in, nothing happens. so i installed some drivers. still nothing. [09:26] Johnm, that didnt work [09:26] is there a way to confirm that my drivers are installed? [09:27] reqqit: so I guess the upstream release has the function you need, but the ubuntu .deb doesnt? [09:27] "restricted drivers manager" says i don't need restricted drviers. [09:27] i have windows vista, i read on wikipedia that ndiswrapper doesnt work with it [09:27] true? [09:27] rookeeeeeeeee: what happens when you try and play it? [09:27] nothing [09:27] it opens a blank window [09:27] i guess my only other option is to use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers, yeah? [09:27] perhaps i'll try that. if that doesn't work i guess i'll just bang my head against this wall. [09:27] with no titlebar [09:27] or menus [09:28] okay. i'll be back! all going wrong.. [09:28] rookeeeeeeeee, i can't play them either, but it says the mp3 player isn't on there (if we're talking about the site you posted) [09:29] anyone know a good channel for just random help on tech [09:29] piklesonfire, but i played them once before before an OS reinstall [09:29] rookeeeeeeeee: ah I see, that sounds a little like the mplayer plugin. I'd actually recommend to use the totem based plugin, but you can overcome this by simply downloading those mp3's and playing them locally through totem/mplayer/banshee/audio player of choice [09:29] rookeeeeeeeee, then maybe we're both missing something essential to playing them. [09:29] rookeeeeeeeee: ie: right click, save as, etc. [09:29] if the device works [09:31] Gain: You could try freenode's general help channel, #freenode. I have had good luck there with random hardware questions. :) [09:32] thanks [09:32] Johnm, right, there is no deb for the latest that I need (and both factors of the oldness of such a 'tool' type release, and the lateness of the central feature, bugged me) [09:32] Gain: From memort, there is also a #hardware channel that may help [09:34] What's the default image viewer in ubuntu? [09:34] reqqit: then can I suggest you download the upstream version and install it (perhaps under /home somewhere, or /opt) so you can use it till the package maintainers release a new one. Or, if you would like to help out a little more perhaps check that a bug hasn't been opened, if it hasn't open one (though I'm sure the package maintainer is aware) and perhaps even attach a dsc. [09:35] tux91: depends on the spin, generally with Gnome its Eye of Gnome (eog) [09:35] is there a tool on linux to check for unued files that can be deleted? like temporary files and so on? [09:35] Johnm: thx [09:36] could anyone PLEASE help me with nfs [09:36] and why is it that if my linux says 0 bytes free and synaptic crashes therefore, and i then delete o file of 806 MB size, that after that i only have 400 MB of free space?? [09:37] ive got this guy helping me, but hes at work and its moving slower than a snail [09:37] rookeeeeeeeee what is the problerm [09:37] rookeeeeeeeee what is the problem [09:37] i keep getting an error [09:37] i can link you to it [09:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/82365/ === penrith is now known as brown [09:39] yo === brown is now known as Guest39977 [09:39] /msg ChanServ DROP #ubuntu-server-it 58dc10ca:be91feea [09:39] join #af83 [09:40] whats ya best linux programe [09:40] !best > Guest39977 [09:40] Guest39977, please see my private message === Guest39977 is now known as blood [09:40] ok, i have just installed the new ubuntu, but again there's no wireless net working... help!

[10:02] Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-CA-1A-51-4F-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 [10:02] ah [10:02] thanks [10:02] but.. how many 0s should i cut out from there ? [10:02] DJ_HaMsTa, none [10:02] cant have all those 0s at end.. [10:03] shouldnt it be 12 numbers max ? [10:03] DJ_HaMsTa, 00-00-CA-1A-51-4F should be it [10:03] prfct thkz [10:03] DJ_HaMsTa, sorry, yeah, it's 6 sets of 2 for a mac /doh [10:04] which tih command I can install ubuntu live in text mode [10:04] is it normal that if i have 0bytes free and delete 806 MB and afterwards i have 400 MB free? 0+806=400? [10:04] mrglinux you need to use the "alternative cd" [10:04] oh [10:04] or is my isntallion flaed? [10:05] user__ what ? [10:05] can somebody tell me what the default way of doing extended desktop on 8.10 is? thank you [10:05] user__, what is the filesystem you're using? [10:05] i isntalled with wubi on ntfs next to windows [10:05] as i'm still leraning linux [10:05] it's my second day on linux [10:06] user__, that could be the issue, ntfs handles the removal of files differently. even ext2 and ext3 are vastly different. the ONLY fs i've heard of that gives you back 100% space from deleted files is xfs [10:06] i couldn't log in as my home couldn't be written in / no authentecation/legitimation file could be copied, so i had to start from another lv cd, mount the image and delete a file that occupied to much space [10:07] ikonia, please correct me if i'm wrong. [10:07] anyone knows a way to remove pidgin's colours on your nicknames? this room looks like a gay parade. not that there is something wrong with that. as long as you can parade the rest of the people [10:07] piklesonfire I don't support wubi so I have no idea [10:07] ah, ok, so nothing to be worried about, piklesonfire? [10:07] user__, i'd say no, but like ikonia i don't exactly support wubi. filesystems are def my forte though ;] [10:08] and are there tools that look for temporary internet files and other non.used files in order to free space? [10:08] if you decide to go ubuntu 100% call me when you partition user__ lol. [10:08] user__, there are such tools, but i've never used them, on linux i simply delete the files myself. [10:08] whats the best packet sniffer [10:09] piklesonfire: i don't have your number to call you, hehehe. but i definitely will change to linux totally, once i managed to use it [10:09] ah, ok [10:09] user__, it's an expression ;p plz don't EVER call me :ppp just find me on here or aim or yahoo or msn.... lol [10:09] eddy, wireshark for gui. [10:10] hahaha [10:10] pikleesonfire do u ever get booted from yahoo [10:10] http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4534 nevermind... pidgin devs suck [10:10] eddy, no. [10:11] bavarianboobs don't use it then, instead of slating them === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [10:11] How can I prevent tar from following Symlinks at all? [10:11] idk bavarianboobs, pidgin is pretty amazing [10:11] ikonia: it's the default IM client of Ubuntu... [10:11] bavarianboobs so ? [10:12] Robbie_Crash, http://linux.die.net/man/1/tar [10:12] and i heard that linux doesn't crash, but mine crashed already twice, and pidgin closed itself totally without saying a word three times, eahc after about an hour or two. [10:12] also do to my windows fs? [10:12] I should place a bug report on launchpad about it [10:12] user__ your using wubi, I don't find that a stable example [10:12] user__, linux doesn't crash is def a myth :p [10:12] I'm trying to back up my computer, and if I do tar cvzf file (--excludes) / it goes into my homedir, and backs up /home/robbie/music/* as well as the real location which is /music/* [10:13] but user__ like ikonia said, wubi = not stable platform to base an opinion on [10:13] maybe it crashes, but ppl say far less often than windows. maybe you're right and it's the 4GB installation of wubi [10:13] Btw, are there any other good tweaks for XFS than noatime and logbufs=8 ? [10:13] Robbie_Crash, try the --dereference option? === spoof_ is now known as NoSound [10:14] how to get chat message alert in pidgin? [10:14] when i migrate totall to ubuntu do i need to make a fresh install, or do i simply migrate from my wubi instalaltion? === NoSound is now known as NoSound321 [10:14] my volume shortcut increases the volume twice and mute then unmute at the same time :\ [10:14] user__ you need a fresh install [10:14] ikonia: ok. thank you [10:15] Can some one help me with a bad sound driver of nvidia ? Cuz when i plug in my head phone on my laptop it still play's the sound trough my speakers.... Please pm me ty :) [10:15] user__, fresh install, i advise livecd unless you get comfy partitioning, then use alt cd and create your own partition map [10:15] user_: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/12/06/graduate-from-a-wubi-install-to-a-dedicated-partition/ [10:15] comfy? [10:15] piklesonfire wouldn't dereference dump them twice? once when they were pointed to from my home dir, and then again when it got to the actual drives? [10:15] snek, thanks for the post [10:15] hello. i am installing a wireless card, yeah? i am using the ndiswrapper method. i installed ndiswrapper. i got the winxp drivers and installed them using the inf. the proiblem is: still nothing has changed in network settings -- shouldn't i get the option of "wireless" now?? [10:16] dukenukem: did you modprobe ndiswrapper? [10:16] thank you all [10:16] yes adam7. [10:16] Robbie_Crash, no, deref tells it to not dump the symlinked files, to dump the files it points to, ie, /music/ not the folder in your home folder [10:16] user__: if you haven't installed much you might want to do a fresh install though... [10:16] dukenukem: rmmod it and then modprobe it again [10:16] Can some one help me with a bad sound driver of nvidia ? Cuz when i plug in my head phone on my laptop it still play's the sound trough my speakers.... Please pm me ty :) [10:16] I want to see the chat messages in a popup. I use pidgin. [10:16] thanks adam7, i'll try it. [10:16] any plugin is there? [10:17] piklesonfire, snek: thanks. installation is pretty easy on ubuntu so it won't be to much work to re-install the few things i have already installed. :-) [10:17] Does anyone have any idea why nvidia wouldn't have GeForce 8600M GT drivers but would have 8700M GT drivers on their website? [10:17] shrini, libpopup plugin for pidgin is what you're looking for [10:17] piklesonfire so it won't go through home, see that the files are referenced, dump them, and then after it gets out of home and gets to music dump them again? I get that it won't dump them as /home/music/folder/folder/file.mp3 but I don't know if it's smart enough to not dump them again when it gets out of home and to /music [10:17] user__, any time [10:17] yo adam7, i rmmod and remodded and it still doesn't recognise "wlan0", and nothing shows up in network settings [10:18] user__: yeah i would suggest that as well, just sometimes people come here with loads of changes already made which could save them some hassle.. plus that tutorial is really new so figured posting it a few times today might help some regulars ;) [10:18] dukenukem: what does iwconfig say? [10:18] no such device [10:18] piki: thanks, how to get in ubuntu? [10:18] :-) [10:18] dukenukem: can you pastebin the iwconfig output? [10:18] Some one can help me with nvidia sound drivers ??? [10:18] you want me to paste exactly what is says? [10:18] piki: I tried guifications. it shows the activities. not the chat messages [10:19] "wlan0 No such device" is exactly what it says. the command i used was iwconfig wlan0 [10:19] ikonia: are you there dude? [10:19] dukenukem: but if it says that, then it recognizes your card [10:19] dukenukem: what wireless card do you have? [10:19] i do not have the wireless card connected at the moment, would that make a difference? [10:19] remoteCTRL yes [10:19] i am using a TP-link WN321 [10:20] Robbie_Crash, it won't dump them in home, it will pretty much ignore them... then when it gets to /music, it will dump them. if you want all mp3's excluded, you could use the --exclude *.mp3 option, or if you want just the /music AND the music listed in your home dir, you could use --exclude from [file] and in the [file] have listed the 2 dirs, on seperate lines. make sense? [10:20] dukenukem, ues it would [10:20] yes* [10:20] ikonia: nice! care to help me with a pulse audio issue please? [10:20] dukenukem: when it says "no such device", it means that the card isn't there [10:20] i want to create i live distro to a usb stick and i dont have enough memory so i want to transport the iso straight to the source (usb stick) does anyone know how to connect as ftp? [10:20] which makes sense [10:20] damn, sorry, i didn't realise that. i will disconnect this machine and try it with the wireless card. [10:20] remoteCTRL I{'m not mega with pulse, but I can certainly look at it [10:20] 大家好，有用中文交流的吗？ [10:20] ikonia: that would be /var/log/messages: http://www.nopaste.org/p/ah212nEdJ [10:20] thanks for your help adam7. [10:20] so just out of interest... [10:20] piklesonfire total sense, I just don't want to back up the same files twice. [10:20] dukenukem: no problem, it should work better when you plug the card in :) [10:20] ikonia: thanks a lot, appreciate it!:) [10:20] wlan0.. that is what it calls the wireless card. [10:20] piklesonfire thanks [10:21] dukenukem: yep [10:21] Some one can help me with nvidia sound drivers ??? [10:21] sweet. [10:21] Robbie_Crash, i totally understand, as a fellow tar user, i feel your concern buddy, but this should help you out [10:21] i am using unetbootin....i want to create i live distro to a usb stick and i dont have enough memory so i want to transport the iso straight to the source (usb stick) does anyone know how to connect as ftp? [10:21] ikonia: what i done so far is this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 but to no result i am afraid [10:22] piklesonfire definitely. Last question: how much space will i *really* save by using tar -z vs without it, like most of my data is eithr photos, audio or video [10:22] Robbie_Crash, anytime btw :] [10:22] Robbie_Crash: if your data is already compressed, compressing it more won't help a whole lot [10:22] Robbie_Crash: and photos, audio, and video are generally already compressed, so... [10:23] Hi to everybody [10:23] Robbie_Crash, it cuts it down by about 1/4. if you use -j and have bzip installed, it does exactly what it claims and cuts it in about half. [10:23] ramon: are you running intrepid (8.10)? [10:24] I'm trying to install Creative Video IM Pro (VF0230) driver on Ubuntu 8.10 [10:24] Robbie_Crash, my total install, just / excluding /home and /media is about 8gigs, -j has it down to about a 2.5G backup file [10:24] Robbie_Crash wouldnt you be better off using rsync and rdiff for your backups. [10:24] does anyone have some experience about this webcam? [10:24] Robbie_Crash or even partimage? [10:24] adam7 yeah, that's what I figured, but backing up almost a TB I could probably save a few 10GB chunks [10:25] pr3z10501: [10:25] koshar1 I dunno, tar is easy. [10:25] what webcam? [10:25] hi all [10:25] Robbie_Crash, koshar1 esp if you're talking about partimage. wow, that would be massive backups [10:25] Melik: Creative Video IM Pro (VF0230) [10:25] !nexuiz [10:25] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:25] piklesonfire personally i partimage the O/S and rsync the media files [10:25] remoteCTRL: that most odd [10:26] I'm using ssh to connect to my server and I'd like to enable color shell. where can I change the config so that ssh is set to xterm-color in stead of xterm ? [10:26] koshar1, that's the great thing about linux, it lets us do what we want the way that suits us best :] [10:26] ikonia: agree on that [10:26] just give me a sec, pr3z10501 i'll look to see what i can find [10:26] snek yes [10:27] ikonia: my problem is basically that every third time or so that i launch vlc i have no sound so i kill all /dev/snd and /dev/dsp* that fixes it [10:27] the O/S backup is about 3 gig and the rsync backup is very fast as it only incrumentally backs up newer or changed files, and given the media files are already compressed theres little point tarring them [10:27] remoteCTRL truthfully wihtout lookingat pulse audio, which I can't at the moment, I don't know [10:27] ikonia: but amarok throws an error stating that xine was unable to initialize any sound drivers and after that i get the lines in /var/log/messages [10:27] koshar1 I just want something that I'm going to be able to run as a cron once a week and then when I nuke my system and buy new harddrives and don't have 5 different physical arrays, I can just throw my old one over my new one, without having to worry about mapping partitions to proper locations [10:27] ramon: there is a tool to make a live-usb under System / Administration called "Create a USB Startup Disk" [10:28] Robbie_Crash its very easy to use partimage and rsync [10:28] snek i want to create a bootable usb drive with unetbootin but i dont have enough memory [10:28] ikonia: aaaaw so i finally found something that you can't fix, i think i gotta make a mark in my calnder for that:D [10:28] hi all [10:28] ramon: hmm that's a bit beyond me.. how much ram do you have? i've never run out of ram using it [10:28] snek but i want to make it for a platform that is on the internet [10:28] remoteCTRL ha, if I had a box with sound on it now to play with I'd work on it, but all the lab machines have no sound [10:28] ikonia: thanks a lot for looking into it though:) [10:28] koshar1, sounds pretty awesome, but i like my backups being tarred gpgd, then i put em in an iso, burn the iso, and finally copy the iso file to a usb drive, so i get 2 backups :] [10:29] sneck i guess no enough [10:29] remoteCTRL if it's still a problem for you, nudge me in say 5 hours time when I get home and i'll play with sound with you [10:29] ikonia: i see:) [10:29] anyone know much about qt4 designer [10:29] piklesonfire sounds fine, i use hard drives to back up now, fed up with optical media [10:29] ikonia: that a word! really very nice of you man:) [10:29] koshar1 do I need to worry about actual physical disks for partimage or rsync? partimage makes me think I'm going to have to backup /movies to one thing, /music to another, and then whatever else the seperation is [10:29] koshar1, again, to each their own :] [10:29] remoteCTRL thats fine, just hard to work it thorugh with no hardware [10:30] ramon: are you sure it's ram it's complaining about and not just the free space on your usb stick or something like that? [10:30] or is it strictly files based, not actually dealing wiht partitions and actual disk images? [10:30] ikonia: ya that i understand [10:30] piklesonfire besides with half a tb of media opticals take ages, and if i edit a single tag on an mp3 i needed to back up the whole volume using opticals, now with a sata removable rack life is a LOT easier/ [10:31] snek nah i just trying to download from the internet...is there anyway to change the place to download perhaps to the same usb? [10:31] quit [10:31] exit [10:31] quit [10:31] koshar1, dvdrw works great for me, and see, i don't have TB and a half to back up, i barely scratch 10 gigs before backup and then it's maybe 4 after backup. [10:32] koshar1, besides, i hear that partimage doesn't work on encrypted filesystems [10:32] remoteCTRL why you using VLC for, isn't it kinda limited [10:32] roger_: actually vlc hast them most features that i have ever seen in a player exept for visualizations [10:32] Robbie_Crash, it's to my understanding that partimage is partition based, not file based, but i'm not 100% sure on that [10:33] ? How do i find what php.ini is used i need to get zend framework enabled again after an aptget update? [10:33] roger_: extremely powerful and normally stable and reliable [10:33] hmm, i'll install quick and see === charlie is now known as Guest24335 === mgolisch is now known as phill [10:33] maybe i might have the same pulse audio problem wiht it [10:33] Robbie_Crash as for the partitmage backup you will need to edit fstab and grub if you restore the sys to a different place, ie sdb instead of sda ect, however you can use a uuid to make fstab work but i assume you may still need to treak grub if the entry iant where the mbr is pointing, === phill is now known as mgolisch [10:33] i am trying to sudo modprobe ath5k and it works but i cant get the driver to wake up and show me the wirelessnetworks [10:34] Robbie_Crash as for rsync it works like cp anyway and you define the destination and origin folders. [10:34] koshar1 that's one huge benefit for tar, right now I've got things spread over 3 RAID 1 arrays, and 2 single hard drives [10:34] roger_: well i hope you don't:) [10:34] what kind of file you listening to, mp3's [10:34] with tar, if one of those dies, and I consolodate, or just move the mount point, I can just throw my tarball down and be done with it [10:35] phunny thing is; amarok says xine can't initialize any audio drivers but xine itself plays just fine-.- [10:35] roger_: mainly yepp [10:35] i got your solution [10:35] kick the damn thing :) [10:35] alright guys need your brain juice, i've got dual twinview setup using nvidia-settings right..., is there a way to have like 2 differnt set of workspaces on each monitor? [10:35] Robbie_Crash ok the raid may pose problems, iam nt a fan of software raid, and hardware raid should look after that for you automaticly. [10:36] what is the gnome equivelent of ktouch ? [10:36] my_haz, tuxtype? [10:36] roger_: well vlc isn't bothering me that much cos that one works again after i kill the sound drivers, what really upsets me is amarok not working cos i need that one [10:36] ktouch is a touch typing tutor for kbuntu, i need to learn ti for russian [10:37] Hi all [10:37] hey there ubu2 [10:37] can anyone help me with bind9?

[12:36] ackbahr, you are missunderstanding how vnc can work. You can ssh in, run vncserver, and that will spawn a 'hidden' vnc session running whatever desktop you tell it to. you edit the users .vnc/xstartup file to run the proper windowmanager/desktop.. ie: 'gnome-session' in this case. :) [12:36] jim_p:to open a link ie is compulsary for me so i need to get it [12:36] jayde_drag0n: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [12:36] the link is a secure one aand wont open in any othet than ie [12:36] Sweetandy, well you could help us by saying what mobo is in. then i will find its manual and... so on [12:36] ackbahr, alternatively - you can set the machine to auto-login to gnome and always run the 'share the desktop' feature.. but thats not as safe I guess. [12:36] ActionParsnip: same response [12:36] amanu, oh ok then [12:37] ActionParsnip: i pasted that exactly as you typed it.. was that wrong? [12:37] i need to get ie in ubuntu [12:37] dr_willis: Precisely.... [12:37] i downloaded it an after extraction i got a folder [12:37] ackbahr, what is the main reason you want remote X? [12:37] ackbahr, percisely what.. :) you can do it either way. [12:37] jayde_drag0n: hmm weird [12:37] and i double click rad me file if so is it installed? can i use it now? [12:37] ActionParsnip: well thats typical for me LOL [12:38] jim_p: Be ready to do it seriously if I ever need to do it [12:38] ackbahr, the -Y parameter will also load you the remote pcs apps and files [12:38] sorry its "read me" [12:38] ackbahr, or you could do it both ways... or you could set up a vncservice to auto-spawn vncsessions that run gdm as needed. [12:38] Thanks to katzian and ActionParsnip, I now have a webserver again :) [12:38] dr_willis: Ah, sorry, I meant the security thing. [12:38] jayde_drag0n: you running 64bit or 32bit linux? [12:38] should be 32 [12:38] ackbahr, ssh parameter. but opening apps remotely is as slow as... a replay in tv! [12:38] dr_willis: But if I use this hidden gnome session, will it be a new one whenever I login? [12:39] ackbahr, to be the most secure. use ssh, vncserver, and tunnle the vncsesson over ssh.. but that can make vnc rather sluggish. and you may not want to use gnome for the desktop then. [12:39] ackbahr, it dosent have to be. :) thats one thing i use vncserver for.. it keeps the session 'alive' and i can connect to it from different machines [12:39] dr_willis: Yes, I don't want/need to go as far as tunnelling VNC.... [12:39] ActionParsnip: .24 looks old shouldn't i be at 2.6.27-7-generic? [12:39] jayde_drag0n: then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:40] jayde_drag0n: you'll get the later kernel [12:40] dr_willis: Well, I precisely would like it to be the same session if I disconnect and get back again [12:40] ActionParsnip: LOL "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."

[13:10] !firewall > dual [13:10] dual, please see my private message [13:10] ActionParsnip: Is Iptables enabled by default on Ubuntu [13:10] dual: what AP said, also if you want Ubuntu specific check of 'ufw' [13:10] dr_willis: i can't rename it.. that option is not there.. i am assuming because i can't open the file thingy as root [13:10] dual: also look into chmod and chown so you can detail file ownership and access rights [13:10] ActionParsnip: i have just bought my self a MSI PC54G3 Wifi card, and i have checked the forums, but can't find any info that will help me to install it, i have got an ethernet card, that works, but i would like to get the wifi working, with this new card, any ideas [13:11] jayde_drag0n, use the terminal.. its our friend... [13:11] dual: yes, just very little configured by default, you can add rules at cli or use a gui app like firestarter [13:11] dr_willis: i can open it to edit it.. but if i save as.. it just makes another copy.. it just saves a second file and the original menu.lst is still there.. not renamed menuold.lst [13:11] loz: it it pci or usb? [13:11] Thanks guys [13:11] how can i d/l a html page with curl or wget and change all relative urls inside to absolute ones (that refer to the site itself) ?

I don't want to lose my home partition just want to add the 300gb space to it [13:22] semarang [13:22] actionparsnip: 8.10 does not use iftab, you have to remove 70-persistent-net.rules under /etc/udev/rules.d :) [13:22] now to rackmount my machine :) [13:23] dr_willis: Tried the vncserver trick you explained a while earlier, but it wouldn't work!

[13:25] 中文？ [13:25] ackbahr, clarify exactly what you did and what dident work.. vncserver has some things to watch out for. [13:25] english？ [13:25] cn! | yewanth [13:25] !HD4850 [13:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about HD4850 [13:25] hi everyone. I need some help. The following is my question. Can I reduce the size of swap partition that was already fixed? [13:25] cn! | yewanth [13:25] ok [13:26] jayde_drag0n: actually, lets be specific: sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng-gtk [13:26] My ubuntu was installed on 8Gb and the size of swap partition is 2Gb. It's too big. [13:26] want to change? [13:26] yep [13:26] saxwrk: was it not in the HCL? [13:26] whynot: depends if your use overflows 8Gb RAM [13:27] to use partition software [13:27] Without changing nor affecting anything. Only the size of swap partition. [13:27] ActionParsnip: Not that I could see atleast. [13:27] I have 512mb ram. [13:27] saxwrk: then its enough [13:27] set to 512 is ok [13:27] what about 1Gb of swap partition? Is it still too much? [13:28] ActionParsnip: I dont understand. What did you say now? [13:28] How do I figure out which tty my onboard serial port is configured as? [13:28] dr_willis: I tried the command "sudo vncviewer XXX" (with my login name), and it gives me a list of the options as if I had given no parameters! [13:28] ram>512 ,you shoud set it 512 [13:29] Should? Above 512 is ok, isn't it? [13:29] ackbahr, Im not sure what you are douing exactly.. but you do not run 'vncserver' or 'vncviewer' as root with sudo. [13:29] yes [13:29] saxwrk: if you never exceed 8Gb RAM then you could get away with no swap, but i'd have 1 just in case [13:30] Hello. I installed WoW last night. But got a problem, when I start WoW with wine Wow.exe -opengl it works fine, but I can't see my mouse. Anyone got some tips for that? [13:30] (-.-||) [13:30] ackbahr, i ssh to remote box, as a user. run 'vncserver' then on the local box.. use 'vncviewer ip.of.remote.box:## ' [13:30] Can you give me some tip? For example, the name of utilities which enables me to resize the swap partition. [13:30] dr_willis: What's dangerous about it? [13:30] ActionParsnip: I have never asked about swap. I asked about PowerColor Radeon HD 4850 is supported in ubuntu 8.10 [13:30] ackbahr, You dont need to use sudo at all for this.. theres no reason to use sudo [13:30] saxwrk: sorry, getting crossed lines in my head [13:30] I'm trying to use mincom to connect to a Cisco switch via console. Can't figure out which serial port to use on computer. [13:30] ackbahr, plus if you use sudo - then it will look int he root users .vnc/ dir for settings.. and may cause issues.. [13:30] ActionParsnip: No problem. You dont happen to know anything about my question? :) [13:31] dr_willis: "Error: Can't open display: " is what I get [13:31] hi, can someone name the best anti-spam addition to my offlineimap/getmail procmail mutt setup? how about bogofilter?

[13:32] !ati | saxwrk [13:32] saxwrk: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:32] saxwrk: see if its mentioned in there [13:32] ackbahr, I imagine you are doing somthing fundamentally wrong then.. Or trying to outsmart things.. the furst time your user runs vncserver, it makes a .vnc/xstartup HOWEVER.. the initial xstartup will be wrong.. kill the vncserver with 'vncserver --kill :1' and edit the xstartup file, and make it run somthing other then twm. Is what i normally do. [13:33] hello [13:33] ackbahr, be carefull not to run/start up several vncservers by mistake.. kill them as needed with the command i showed above [13:33] i note that gksu and sudo can give me root access for a while after i enter root password once. i wonder what if a virus takes advantage of this password-free window? [13:33] yao_ziyuan, very unlikely to happen. [13:33] do any of you guys use Ubuntu form software developement (mainly linux systems programming) ? [13:34] yao_ziyuan, if you want to bge very paranoud you can disable that timeout feature on rembering the sudo password. === obama is now known as Guest69438 [13:34] dr_willis: i used to do that, then figured I could live with it for the sake of ease [13:35] dr_willis: "xauth: error in locking authority file /home/XXX/.Xauthority" when I try vncviewer --kill :1 [13:35] ActionParsnip, i dont see much point in doing it. [13:35] if a virus checks for root-free opportunities every 10 seconds, [13:36] ackbahr, reread what i said..... its vncserver --kill :1 NOT vncviewer [13:36] dr_willis: i used to be mega security concious, ive laxed off slowly and had no issues so ive stayed at an ok level [13:36] *password-free === dYna is now known as basti === root is now known as Guest17963 [13:36] i mean, with password-free periods, it's like there is no root password at all [13:36] yao_ziyuan It would require that the virus actually would affect ubuntu.. But you can kill the sudo after you use it if it is that much of a concern [13:37] yao_ziyuan, if you got a virus runnign on yoru system allready - you are allready infected. [13:37] yao_ziyuan: if you have a virus running then you have more to worry about (keylogger sniffing for, social security number, credit card number, etc) than the root password. [13:37] Theres Security Paranoid.. then theres "TinFoil Hat Paranoid" :) [13:37] dr_willis: :) [13:38] dr_willis: oh it was 2 tinfoil hats sat under a corrugated sheet leant up against the wall [13:39] hi [13:40] my laptop webcam is detected in 8.10,i can see it in vlc but cheese is not able to detect it....any help?

[13:41] for someone interested in learning sytems system programming do it matter what linux distro they use ? [13:42] yao_ziyuan Please avoid the discuaaion, we understand your concern and we told you there is a way around it for the people that want to kill that sudo session.. It really isnt an issue.

I had a working setup of lirc, but now it's not working anymore.. the directional keys (up\down\left\right) seems to translate to their respective keyboard buttons - but I don't want that. any ideas? [13:46] i noted something called "terminal device", [13:46] which i think is the keyboard. [13:46] terminal device usually means a tty [13:47] i.e. an input/output device which might be physically represented as a screen and keyboard, or as a terminal emulator such as putty [13:47] I have several serial terminals. :) [13:47] what the hell is the purpose of root password if it can be waived in certain periods [13:47] yao_ziyuan STOP you have your answer [13:47] i don't [13:48] yao_ziyuan you can turn it off.. end of story [13:48] Hi, how can I start OpenOffice or Adobe Reader in iconized mode (minimized to the notification area) ?

[13:50] snek, i would doubt it. [13:50] snek: if the system's that old then Ubuntu probably isn't the right distro to choose [13:50] I'm trying to install ubuntu with a kickstart file, in grub I'm trying F6 (More options), remove the -- and add ks=http..., nothing is happening different, am I doing it wrong? [13:50] bye, all, have a nice day [13:50] SlimeyPete: depends how you install it.. starting with a server install and building up from there with very lite apps would work quite well.. was just curious about the kernel [13:51] snek what are the specs? [13:51] snek: you can run any kernel, newer apps might not like it [13:51] Hey I'm pretty new to ubuntu and I'm having trouble getting video out to a TV to be used as a second display. would anyone be willing to help me out?

[13:53] got a question, what exactly is the wmaster0 interface for. what it do? === sean is now known as Guest4691 [13:53] snek: you could even use gentoo to get super minimal [13:54] anyone willing to help me out?

I will ask, although i'm sure they've been asked already a million times, whether they're considering adding the Linux platform to their mac and windows development of their application [13:55] FishyJap: you may need to enable composite if you are using svideo [13:56] <__Zombie__> anyone got any ideas why my T61 w/8.10 won't suspend? [13:56] lasivian Is there a particular folder you want to exclude [13:56] jim_p: Really? So I'd have to do deamon in wine, huh? [13:56] __Zombie__: suspend is a PITA [13:56] ActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that? [13:56] <__Zombie__> It worked find until I reloaded with a clean 8.10 install [13:56] snek: You shouldn't be reusing old hardware. You should have bought a NEW laptop, even for just surfing. It's people like you who holds back the progression of technology [13:56] <__Zombie__> err..um...fine... [13:56] (joking) [13:56] livindaylight: you'd need the pro version for images anyway [13:56] GFree: I have 3 other machines at home.. don't talk to me about upgrading lol [13:56] jim_p: well, need a bit more info, seem to have a https problem that stops secure connections working that can cause a kernal panic. wmaster0 seem to be using a ipv6 address and might be related [13:56] hence the joking bit. :) [13:56] livindaylight: cant hurt to ask :) [13:57] a1len, i would go for a native window installation, even if it means vbox +shared folders. i dont think linux will allow wine to make an extra cdrom! [13:57] <__Zombie__> ActionParsnip, I know...but it worked fine on 8.10 until I did a clean reload (as opposed to an upgrade) [13:57] recon69, disable ipv6 then [13:57] GFree: i probably have nicer hardware than most users here hehehe [13:57] <__Zombie__> Also, I have found lots of info on failing to RESUME, but nothing on failing to suspend [13:57] hi [13:58] hi mri [13:58] jim_p: What about a i01?

Though you probably just want man 2 time [14:00] a1len, well extract it then! [14:00] jrib, could you explain that syntax, so I know how to generalize it for the next time I need something similar? What's the -a for? What's the 2 for? [14:00] a1len, you are 100% sure its a RAR file? rar spanned files are like r00 r01 r02 and so on [14:01] mri, please look at my pm [14:01] By the way, -a didn't work, but 2 did. [14:01] jim_p: Can't... Oh, I thought you meant did I get it from a rar.. lol [14:01] elad`: man man. It will explain that man pages are broken up into sections. 2 is system calls. -a just goes through all the man pages that man finds about time [14:01] lasivian Look here at my notes for a sec.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/82463/ [14:01] jim_p: But I have a small MDS too, so I wonder if that polls from the big 3G i00 file to make the iso [14:01] Why didn't -a work, then? [14:01] I'll read... [14:01] elad`: -a does work, it cycles through all of the time man pages.

[14:33] ok [14:33] yep [14:33] i've also tried the compiz effect manager [14:33] LjL: so ubuntu-minimal needs to be installed if I decide to upgrade later?

[15:13] hi all, what's the deal with the new gnome network manager? in particular, how are you supposed to implement static IP addressing correctly? i'm used to editing /etc/network/interfaces but of course that's been replaced by the manager. [15:14] ne2k__: check the value of APACHE_RUN_USER in a shell [15:14] if i create a new sort of "profile" using the manager, it refuses to be set as the default when i login, i always have to change to it from "auth eth0" [15:14] sorry "auto eth0" [15:14] tj83: I don't think so unless youhave like 50 services. Samba (windows cifs) is sorta ghetto over subnets since its a broadcase protocol. Have you considered running a FTP server or using SSHFS [15:15] i have FTP implemented mphill but i want to use them without transfering them [15:15] daftykins: same problem her. i have newer got hta piece workin. so i also just edit interfaces file [15:15] jrib: ah, hang on. I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 and told it not to install the package maintainer's version of the apache2.conf. i think something's changed. [15:16] do you do anything to disable the network manager from trying to run dhclient with eth0 before doing that simplexio ? [15:16] ne2k__: ah, well I do have these lines there: User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}; Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} [15:16] jrib: that's fixed it, it's running as www-data now. thanks for helping me track it down === NiaGhost is now known as Niamor [15:17] tj83: I see.

[15:21] tj83: best thing to do in my experience is an ssh tunnel [15:21] installare hauppauge [15:22] ikonia, Yes thank you, The ubuntu install has never been used so i dont mind using it, its just that i cant get it to boot. i need to edit some of the grub files. [15:22] Hello all [15:22] AndyB whats the problem booting it ? [15:22] Its ok i can do it from the live CD.. It just takes 10 minutes to boot every time i need to change [15:22] mphill it seams so, cause I use mplayer for the streamings [15:22] daftykins: it isnt htere at all, but i think i removed it from gnome-startup scripts. and please use standart way to ask or talk to me.. hint lines start eith my nick. its very hard to notice those msg [15:22] AndyB what's actually the problem booting it [15:22] tj83: you create a loopback interface on windows with a made-up IP address, and then you tunnel between the local interface on the remote box and the virtual ip locally on port 139 [15:22] ne2k__, yea... i briefly looked at that... 2 problems one minor one major. minor: the syntax string is about a mile long, and 2nd i need this to work from even a win box w/out putty or any extra applications [15:23] is there anyway to undelete things in linux [15:23] slayton not really [15:23] ikonia, I have tried installing ubuntu 4 times now, every time i install i get "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)", before each install i have redownloaded, reburned, and reinstalled. So obviously im doing something wrong? [15:23] slayton: go to your trash and undelete the file [15:23] tj83: well if you need it to work without extra applications then you're not going to have a lot of luck with openvpn [15:23] AndyB sounds like your device.map is wrong at a quick guess [15:23] simplexio, ok thanks, i find it really surprising that such a replacement app is so badly coded to handle more advanced users [15:23] AndyB: that should be fixable [15:23] slayton, check your trash .. otherwise what type of file systsem? [15:23] Is there a way when I update Nvidia drivers from repos, to use them without restarting my PC? I can't just restart X, it complains about kernel modules not being loaded. [15:23] ikonia, Sorry typed that wrong, i get that error when i try booting from grub [15:23] ne2k__, lol ok, darn! [15:23] AndyB: first a quick question, are you using raid ? [15:23] slayton, you can try testdisk [15:23] tj83: you can run putty without "installing" it, as it were, which ought to be good enough on even a library PC [15:23] !testdisk [15:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk [15:24] ... [15:24] ikonia, Raid? I dont even know what that is so i dont think so, if its a boot sys, no im using Grub [15:24] what happened was I ran an rsync script that removed a bunch of files.... what would be the best way of trying to recover those files? [15:24] so they aren't in the trash [15:24] tj83: yes, the syntax is a mile long, but you just put a file on your web server that sets it up [15:24] AndyB no, raid is multiple hard disks joined together to make one [15:24] tj83: oh, hang on, no, you can't do it on a library pc because you can't create the extra loopback interface [15:24] AndyB: a lot of people enable it on their motherboard [15:24] !recover | slayton [15:24] slayton: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [15:24] slayton: but really your just looking at using backups [15:24] daftykins: yeah.. actually i have newer got it working right, but i use ubuntu only on desktops so it isnt that big problem [15:24] ikonia, Ah, then no i am not using it [15:24] you're [15:24] that's what I was lookign for thanks jrib [15:24] quick question, I have a file which seems to hang when I stat it (I was trying to discover why updatedb was hanging). It sounds to me like it is a harddrive inconsistency which means implies I should fsck the system. Do you guys agree? [15:25] AndyB thats great, that makes things easy [15:25] tj83: what do you actually need to do over this link? [15:25] ne2k__, ok thanks for all the suggestions i will just have to take some time and sit down, more research and draw some conclusions and plans :) [15:25] are you able to boot into ubuntu to trouble shoot this with me / [15:25] hi [15:25] simplexio, yeah i guess it's ubuntu server for the real stuff :D thanks anyway, i'll just edit /etc/network/interfaces as usual [15:25] tj83: I suspect that openvpn can be made to work without "installing", but it may bork at the thought of you doing anything "admin-ish" with the networking too [15:25] ne2k__, basically access a ton of files, documents and vid and music cause of my limited disk space on my notebook [15:25] hi [15:25] ikonia, ah this is good news, ive been trying for days. everytime i install to this usb i get that error, it has worked before, but i needed to reinstall, and after i reinstalled i kept getting that error. [15:25] tj83: in what way "access"? [15:26] AndyB Do you know the format of the partition you are using for the install. THis is a normal install not some wubi or VM option .. correct [15:26] execute them w/out moving them [15:26] tj83: do you actually need to be able to open them through UNC paths as if they were local [15:26] tj83: ok [15:26] AndyB ahhh your instlaling to usb [15:26] execute them w/out moving them ne2k__ yes [15:26] Jack_Sparrow, Yes its a normal install to a usb drive, its ext3 [15:26] is there a working pandora plug-in for AWN? [15:26] AndyB USB is not a normal install.. but it is one of the options [15:26] tj83: I think you're asking a lot [15:26] ubuntu it [15:27] ikonia, Yes. I do not wish to partition my internal drive so im using a usb [15:27] AndyB: ok, that complicates things a bit more, but still fixable [15:27] ne2k__, thing is i know your right... does seem like alot, but 5 min in xp and its done... should be possible in linux too [15:27] Jack_Sparrow, Well im just running the normal install from live cd, and selecting to install to my usb hd [15:27] install hauppauge hvr 900? [15:27] tony_: what about it [15:27] tj83: I don't think you're ever going to be able to do what you want without admin access on windows; [15:27] tony_: you just keep sayign that [15:28] AndyB Fine, but there are differences that the person helping you needs to be aware of. [15:28] Jack_Sparrow: well spotted [15:28] np [15:28] Jack_Sparrow, Ah my appologies. I was unaware. [15:28] Jack_S [15:28] mphill it seems that i cannot use desktop effects with xinerama enabled [15:28] anyone know a way around thet? [15:28] kdogg nope [15:28] that* [15:28] kdogg not if you are running nvidia.. [15:28] anyone help me out with vmware server 2.0 in hardy, just got new kernel + gcc, and the gcc doesnt match the one the kernel was built with.. [15:28] tj83: the ssh option was the one I went for when I went through this a while ago. I used srvany.exe to run a script which kept a putty tunnel alive in the background so it automatically restarts if you lose your network connection or suspend your notebook [15:29] so ati can? [15:29] Jack_Sparrow, Ikonia, maybe you should also be aware this has worked before, it worked on friday and i got it working, but i had an issue with grub and needed to reinstall. and then it stopped working [15:29] AndyB what issue with grub [15:29] kdogg yes [15:29] khakane: then make them match, recompile kernel using your new and shiny gcc ? [15:29] AndyB: you don't just start having issues with grub unless something changes [15:29] mphill: could it be pulseaudio who decides that another application needs the canal and shut mine? [15:29] tj83: you don't need anything so complex on linux to be able to execute remote files -- the filesystem just works [15:29] ne2k__, many thanks again. i just need to do some homework before going further [15:29] Jack_Sparrow, I got it to work with nvidia. I think nvidia is much better than ATI for DE [15:29] kdogg I think you can use twinview, but you can ask in #compiz [15:29] simplexio: defeats teh purpose of prebuilt kernels [15:30] afallenhope|work: didn't you use twinview though and not xinerama [15:30] I have a little problem. I can work around it for the most part but it is very annoying. When I right click in Firefox, it will sometimes auto select an option are random. This happens with my mouse and my touch pad on my laptop. Is there a way I could fix this? [15:30] Jack_Sparrow any recommendations on a good but not expensive ati card? [15:30] hm. flash is not installable.. my problem is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/304969 [15:30] ikonia, nope. didn'twork. I had to install envy. and then I used nvidia-settings [15:30] afallenhope|work: thats twinview [15:30] afallenhope|work: not xinemera [15:30] kdogg See the people in compiz, they may have fixed that by now [15:30] tj83: particularly if you use fuse [15:30] ikonia, Error 21, When i installed to usb. It installed grub into the MBR but put the Config files onto the USB. So i needed to have the USB plugged in to boot the computer. I tried to move GRUB to the internal drive but it only made things worse. So i started over again. Then when i reinstalled everything i started getting this error. (Note i have used Fixmbr and Fixboot before i reinstalled) [15:30] although.. that was on my Ubuntu box lol. I'm on Gentoo now [15:31] ok thanks [15:31] khakane: yes.. but then you have two options same gcc used to compile your kernel, or get kernel that is compiled save gcc version .. or offcourse you can forget vmware and use virtualbox [15:31] KDB9000, I have had the same issue, but have not found a solution :( [15:31] tj83: http://asbjorn.it/blog/2007/01/fuse-for-windows/en/ looks as though some people are working on fuse for windows -- that would help you [15:32] KDB9000, just a workaround [15:32] zsquareplusc: that bug is still open if you read the bug report [15:32] khakane: and i think you get same problem with that too. so you have only two options. and far as i can tell easiest option is compile kernel [15:32] !virtualbox | khakane [15:32] khakane: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [15:32] Toznoshio, whats the workaround? [15:32] Toznoshio, a workaround is better then nothing [15:32] right-click towards the beginning of the link [15:33] Toznoshio, interesting. guess i will have to try that [15:33] I was recently trying several distros and I came across an odd thing. When I used a Broadcom Wireless card with Debian Lenny it worked with the kernel driver, but every other distros I tried either needed Ndiswrappered Win32 driver or in the case of Suse didn't work at all. My puzzle is this. Should Debian derived distros like Ubuntu work with the same kernel drivers? [15:33] hello, in Intrepid Ibex, when I press ctrl+left/right arrow, it prints ";5D" or ";5C" instead of jumping to the next/previous word... how can i fix this? [15:33] ikonia: yup. and the last comment gives hope... but it means i cant use flash on that hardy for an unknown time :( (gnash isn't compatible to the single site i really need flash) [15:33] mulender no [15:34] ikonia so why not? [15:34] simplexio: virtualbox any better than vmware? [15:34] zsquareplusc: what do you want us to do about it ? [15:34] hello, in Intrepid Ibex (in gnome-terminal), when I press ctrl+left/right arrow, it prints ";5D" or ";5C" instead of jumping to the next/previous word... how can i fix this? [15:34] mulender: because ubuntu uses a different kernel version [15:34] etuardu, in VI? [15:34] ikonia, No idea then? [15:34] Toznoshio: in gnome-terminal [15:34] ikonia so when Ubuntu starts using the same kernel it will be supported? [15:34] AndyB tons but you need to boot into ubuntu to walk it through [15:35] mulender why would ubuntu use the same kernel, it's based on debian, not debian [15:35] ikonia: so there is no good workaround? (installing it manually is no good workaround) :-) [15:35] zsquareplusc: so the auto install doens't work, and you don't want to install manaully - what do you want ? [15:35] khakane: when i tested vmware server it slow as hell owhen installing visual studio, vbox di same stuff in 10x faster. thogh i think that there had to be somekind bug in vmware that i used [15:35] ikonia, would live cd do? [15:35] fuckers [15:35] ;P [15:35] i love ubuntuuuuuuuuuuh [15:35] me too [15:36] etuardu, do you have "set -o vi" in .bashrc? [15:36] ikonia so I may just have to use Debian with that laptop and lump it? [15:36] zsquareplusc: that bug gives you 3 options 1.) wait for a fix 2.) manually install 3.) enabled hardy backports - [15:36] khakane: and you still have same problem with vbox because it need kernel-modules too.. probably im not 100% sure about it because i use custom kernel all time. it isnt that hard [15:36] mulender: if you want [15:36] hello all [15:37] german poeple here? [15:37] !de > nadine [15:37] nadine, please see my private message [15:37] ikonia well I prefer Ubuntu but Debian works better on that system :( [15:37] mulender: ok [15:37] hä was [15:37] ^ [15:37] When I use the GUI to mount a network (samba) share does it map to a directory somewhere on the drive? Or is it only available through the GUI. [15:38] felix_da_catz: normally mounts it on /media, "mount" command whill show you where things are mounted [15:38] oh mann ich hab in de schule in english net aufgepasst [15:38] !de > nadine [15:38] ikonia: well, it's just a bad thing, in feisty broke that package and now its hardy. you can not seriously convince less computer savvy people to convert to ubuntu if the flash plugin breaks all the time :( [15:38] ikonia jaaaa [15:38] !fr [15:38] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:38] zsquareplusc: this is a problem with ALL linux [15:38] zsquareplusc: so no, I 'm not trying to convince anyone to use linux [15:39] Is there a way when I update Nvidia drivers from repos, to use them without restarting my PC? I can't just restart X, it complains about kernel modules not being loaded. [15:39] Milos_SD: why do you want to update them ? [15:39] ikonia: it should work with hardy-backports? i have these in sources.list but i don't see a difference. hm [15:39] Milos_SD, does the installation generate a new module? you can probably modprobe the replacement and then reload X. [15:40] zsquareplusc: if you read the bug report you'll see the details [15:40] ikonia, I had an update today, from 177.80 to 177.82 :) [15:40] Milos_SD: yes ? [15:40] ikonia, i can log into live cd, or if you knew any webpages with instructions i could follow? i would greatly appriciate it. [15:40] Milos_SD: that doesn't answer my question, why do you want to update the nvidia drivers [15:40] !usb > AndyB [15:40] AndyB, please see my private message [15:40] !grub > AndyB === cs278^ktulu is now known as cs278 [15:40] AndyB, what exactly are you trying to do with a USB key installation? [15:40] ikonia but basically it IS down to the kernel version and the distro is ared herring? [15:41] daftykins, if the module is nvidia, I tryed that... didn't work... :( [15:41] mulender pretty much [15:41] Milos_SD, why is a reboot so much to ask? [15:41] Milos_SD: that doesn't answer my question, why do you want to update the nvidia drivers [15:41] how can I display the filesystem type from the command line? [15:41] So I'm htinking when I've learn more I could choose that kernel over the default in any distro? [15:41] slayton: mount will show you [15:41] mulender: wouldn't reommend it [15:41] ikonia, becouse it was offered to me from update manager... [15:41] Ah right [15:41] Milos_SD: so you've update then, whats the problem [15:42] Yeah I supose their optimised for each set up [15:42] hi, I am mounting a ntfs drive but always belongs to root - how can I make it belong to my user? [15:42] Good point [15:42] daftykins, When i install ubuntu to a usb drive, from live cd. i get "Kernal Panic - not syncing :VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)" [15:42] slayton you can "cat /etc/fstab" and read which file system is being mounted where [15:42] come si installa [15:42] AndyB, yeah i'm asking why you want to. [15:42] daftykins, well... I don't like to reboot... and I have some services that need to work 24/7 ... [15:42] Milos_SD, then you shouldn't be running a 3D card on such a system ;) [15:42] ikonia, problem is that I needed to reboot my PC if I wanted to use them :) [15:42] Toznoshio: I do not have any problems in vi, this issue appears within the bash shell in gnome-terminal [15:42] Milos_SD: whats the actual problem, you'lve applied the driver package, it will take effect next time you reboot [15:42] 8.10 help no audio, no autorun program to reinstall os help [15:42] daftykins, I want to run ubuntu from my usb harddrive as i have windows on my internal drive. [15:43] Milos_SD: yes thats right, it's a running module so requires a reboot [15:43] ikonia So how come Lenny has the Newest Kernel? I thought it was more old fashioned distro. I need to read a lot more! [15:43] ikaros, daftykins thanks! [15:43] mulender: ask the debian guys [15:43] hello [15:43] ikonia, problem is that if I install Nvidia drivers with Nvidia .run script, I can just restart X and it will work... but with drivers from repos it is not enough :) [15:43] etuardu, try installing the XFCE terminal [15:43] AndyB, boot a CD-R of ubuntu 8.10 desktop and plug in your USB key, then go to System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk. is that what you've been doing? === miguel is now known as Guest95043 [15:43] Milos_SD because they are tied into the running kernel version [15:44] I am doing a proyect in GNU Radio (GRCompanion) and I have a cuestion very important [15:44] ikonia actually i will say one thing for Debian - their hardware support is amazing. It even worked on my old 98 machine. [15:44] Milos_SD: if you didn't want to reboot, don't reboot [15:44] Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10 [15:44] Ok I've got the gist ikonia thanks for your help [15:44] ikonia, I know... but I want to be able to use new version of drivers (firefox bug repaired) [15:44] :) [15:44] Milos_SD: then either kill X, unload the modules, do a depmod reload the new module, restart X [15:45] I doubt it will work peroperly due to the tie in with the kernel [15:45] daftykins, No i have been booting a CD of ubuntu 8.10 desktop and then clicking the install icon on the desktop, and when the partition manager loads i select the external drive, and it runs the install. i restart, select ubuntu from grub. it tries to boot and gives that error [15:45] Milos_SD: just wait until your next reboot [15:45] AndyB: read the USB info ubottu sent you [15:45] AndyB: it expalins the difference for a usb install [15:45] ikonia, did that... didn't worked... only if it's not "nvidia" name of the module :) === sean is now known as Guest44828 [15:45] AndyB, do it my way to make a self-standing bootable USB key. you can even use the wizard to create permanent storage area, or just have it as a "Live USB key" [15:46] Milos_SD: it's tied to the running kernel [15:46] Somebody that know GNU Radio?? [15:46] please give me private [15:47] Guest95043: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/ [15:47] ikonia, Are they not for installing FROM a usb? Im installing from the live cd, i have the image burned to the cd and wish to install ubuntu onto the drive to boot into, not a live version [15:47] thank you very much [15:47] AndyB: no, the first one is a link to install to usb [15:47] ikonia, Ah ok thanks will check it =] [15:47] hey all, ^_^ *happily browsing without a windows connection again* w00t! [15:48] but, i have seen this web, and dont help me [15:48] daftykins, I would rather just do a full install, I know it works, I did it on friday, but i messed up grub and had to do it again, but when i tried again i got the above error [15:48] ikonia: are we reading the same bug report? i see someone expressing a wish, but there is no solution. the backports version is also broken. but we cal also stop this discussion, i'll have to wait.. [15:48] Guest95043: what do you want [15:48] zsquareplusc don't know, I've closed the bug reprot [15:48] hi [15:48] hi2 guys [15:48] how can i configure vim.gnome so it actually start the gui editor and not the console one? [15:49] CAiRO: use gvim ? [15:49] CAiRO: not vim [15:49] ikonia: well, my editor alternative points to vim.gnome [15:49] !scrollkeeper [15:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about scrollkeeper [15:49] AndyB, fair enough, if you're not willing to take a known approach then i won't stand in your way.... though i would say that your problem probably stems from trying to install GRUB to the local disk despite wanting it on the key. you've probably affected your local Windows install now to try and get it working. [15:49] I want help for GNU Radio Companion [15:49] and i'm pretty sure that i've been using it to start gvim before [15:49] CAiRO: what's in that file [15:49] I am doing a proyect of reception/ Transmision the OFDM [15:49] ikonia: its a symlink to vim.gnome :) [15:49] is it safe to remove scrollkeeper? seems to want to take half of gnome with it :-) [15:49] CAiRO, you can alias vim to gvim if you want to start the gui editor with the "vim" command [15:50] CAiRO: bu whawt is in that file [15:50] rbil, i wouldn't recommend it [15:50] Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10 [15:50] daftykins: can it be turned off or the crontab at least? [15:50] ikonia: good point, but /usr/bin/vim.gnome is a binary [15:51] CAiRO: ok, so it's linking direct to the binary [15:51] rbil, i think all it is is a function that maintains and orders help docs relating to installed software. i'm sure it can be safely avoided. [15:51] daftykins, thank you for the advice [15:51] np [15:51] ikonia: yes, svn uses the editor alternative as editor for entering comments.. and i want gvim to pop up [15:52] that has been working before.. i think on last friday it did work [15:52] but today, it doesnt [15:52] CAiRO: odd [15:52] ikonia: yes, and that's all because vim.gnome does start vim in the terminal [15:53] i think a binary with ".gnome" in its name shouldn't be a terminal program === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [15:54] how do I use bootchart? [15:56] Hello -- can anyone help me with a semaphore question? [15:56] hi [15:56] is this thing working? [15:57] Is there a utility similar to nice, except for network downloads? I'd like to limit a wget session to, say, 80KB/sec [15:57] CAiRO: where how did you get the .gnome version? i just have a vim.gtk and it also starts in the console [15:57] Blinny: tc? [15:57] hey all [15:58] i'm trying to ffmpeg a file but am getting an error: Unknown encoder 'h264' [15:58] darkvertex: Is that user-specific? I have 20 people logged into terminals on this box. [15:58] zsquareplusc: strange, i think that is a bug, vim.gnome is part of the vim-gnome package [15:58] Hrm. Maybe 'trickle' [15:58] If i run: ffmpeg -formats i can see it in the list [15:59] Blinny: could be configured that way if you want. [15:59] Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10 [15:59] CAiRO: ok, now i have the .gnome, and it starts in console [15:59] hi all, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and all non-gnome applications don't display text.. [15:59] Blinny: i.e. per ip addr [15:59] darkvertex: Thanks. I think I found what I need in 'trickle' - runs in userspace and can attach to processes. [15:59] darkvertex: Doesn't work - all users are on thin clients, so all applications run on the server (This is an LTSP server) [15:59] darkvertex: I appreciate your suggestions. Cheers. [16:00] Blinny: ok. np [16:00] CAiRO: with -g it starts as gui, but it is not blocking then, bad for svn [16:00] robert do you have an invidia g forse go? [16:00] nvidia gforce4 [16:01] hello is there any way to undo the last token updates via upate-manager? [16:01] zsquareplusc: yes, exactly... and i'm sure it has been working not very long ago.. [16:01] CAiRO: -f -g works but can you add options for alternatives? [16:01] robert are you using the invidia driver or the xorg driver? [16:01] nvidia 96 driver [16:01] CAiRO: i never had the gui, my vim on commits always opened in the console [16:01] hi. i have a little question about reverse ssh tunnel. the tunnel it self works very nice. but i want that the tunnel destination is not restricted to localhost. instead it should be accessable to all host in my local network. does someone know how to realize it? [16:01] zsquareplusc: i don't think so.. i could add a short batch script which actually calls gvim... so i could work around the problem but ideally i wouldn't have to do that [16:02] does anyone know how I can edit the mouts in my "Places menu" in gnome [16:02] zsquareplusc: yes, i've explicitly configured my editor alternative to start vim.gnome [16:02] zsquareplusc: what does yours point to? [16:02] A couple of people (whom I do not think are in channel atm) advised me to edit my 000-default file to enable the webserver to be like subdirectory of /home. [16:03] jackd: see -g option, however that may be insecure if your network has untrusted users [16:03] zsquareplusc: testing right now. thank you very much === beluga is now known as whale [16:03] I have the same problem i have a g force 4 go same chip just in a laptop i disable the driver and evrything works ok except 3d when i want to run 3d i enable the driver use it and then disable it again [16:03] I have also edited an apache2 file but I cannot have done it properly as no subdirectory has appeared :} === whale is now known as Sevruga [16:04] CAiRO: now that i installed vim-gnome, the alternative was automatically updated to vim.gnome. [16:04] jdsandeson, any ideas why? [16:05] I have installed a webserver using tasksel. How can I make the document root a subdirectory of /home ? [16:05] Well The invidia driver is written for many cards and is propriatary some cards work b etter than others [16:05] jdsandeson, right.. so we should just wait for a new version? [16:05] calum: so you probably have apache2. and why not use /var/www? [16:06] in my case there are several glitches [16:06] I want to be able to access it as calum rather than as root :) [16:06] I am the only user of the machine [16:06] calum: adduser calum www-data and you can [16:06] no the g force 2 and 4 are obselete need to get an fx 6200 or above [16:06] Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10 === rp_ is now known as rp2 [16:06] Where do I do that zsquareplusc? [16:07] Where do I type in adduser calum www-data? [16:07] jdsandeson, maybe I'm buying a new card soon anyway [16:07] calum: in a terminal with sudo, or use the user management tool in system->admin [16:07] alt f2 gksu [16:07] at least you can darn thing is soldered down to my laptop [16:08] Ok - so if I type that into terminal, it should work - I do not have to go to a particular directory or anything to do that? [16:08] jdsandeson, that sucks. [16:08] well, thanks for info [16:08] jdsandeson, with some heat you should be able to get it out [16:09] robert do you know how to turn the invidia driver on and off? [16:09] yes [16:09] hardware drivers [16:09] calum: no. it just addds yourself to the group www-data. that means that you can access files owned by that group can be manipulated by you. the web server also has this group so you can do the same things as the webserver [16:09] The only time i use it is for google earth [16:10] ty zsquareplusc :) [16:10] for me, gaming and desktop effects [16:10] too bad, I'm gonna have to turn it off all the time :( [16:10] hope it works with wine then.. [16:10] bye [16:11] it should just might have to tinker around with which win version you are emulating [16:11] xp [16:11] ah ok [16:11] ill see then [16:11] thanks for info, bye [16:11] later [16:12] hmm. ssh tunnel is still local only. i can see it with "netstat -anp --inet". my specified port is bound to 127.0.0.1 :( [16:12] hi [16:12] !list [16:12] Hi!

[16:19] hi [16:19] has anyone here heard of xmind? http://www.xmind.net/ [16:19] Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have an Ubuntu 8.10 computer, let us call it "Main Computer", and Windows XP computer, let us call it "Game Station". Main computer is connected to ADSL modem so it has good broadband connection. The question is: what is the most effective (and a simple) way to share this internet connection with my Game station (Windows XP machine). I'm thinking about VPN at the moment [16:19] I was wondering whether someone can help me install it? [16:19] 123 [16:19] what can i do if a process doesn't stop? [16:20] Ax-Ax, kill it [16:20] zsquareplusc: Do I need to change permissions on /var/www to let me edit it as calum? [16:20] Ax-Ax, System > Administration > System Monitor [16:20] if it has a guy -> type in konsole "xkill" and klick on the window of the tool you want to kill [16:20] livindaylight: i mean, when i kill it, nothing happens [16:20] a GUI i mean :) [16:21] Ax-Ax: kill -9 it [16:21] Ax-Ax, have you tried force-quuit? [16:21] Elijah_Frost: transparent bridge [16:21] hello, I wondered if anybody in here can help an almost complete linux-newbie with making the 8.04-livecd work on an iMac G3 [16:21] SlimeyPete: -9 did it :) [16:21] Ax-Ax: kill -KILL (process id) [16:22] Elijah_Frost: assumint htat you 2 network card in main computer [16:23] I want to be able to edit files on my ubuntu webserver without being root. How do I do that, please? === matteo_ is now known as littleteo === sean is now known as Guest46472 [16:23] I'm having trouble connecting to a wireless network using the network manager that comes with 8.10. I can connect to the network using Windows from the same computer and from Xubuntu on a different computer, which is why I think the network manager in 8.10 is the problem. Any suggestions on how to procceed would be greatly appreciated. [16:24] hi there... how can i enable the email notifier without having evolution running? [16:24] calum: chmod a+w the.file [16:24] Elijah_Frost: or just google ubuntu internet connection sharing and use that NAT guide [16:24] calum, edit them as yourself and put them somewhere to be moved to the root of the server by a process in cron or else type sudo cp *.html /var/www/. [16:24] just the file and not the directory, jackd? [16:25] simplexio: thank you, will do [16:25] dir will also work [16:25] Hello, I would like some help relating to usplash not being able to use themes other than the default one since the upgrade to 8.10 [16:25] calum: not sure. simply test it :) [16:26] Before I fresh installed ubunutu ibex, I had hardy heron and I was able to edit files as user in /var/www without difficulty. [16:26] Gandhi, use wicd instead f netw mgr [16:26] Would I need to do that every time I edited a file, ompaul? [16:26] Toznoshio : How do I do that? Is it already installed or should I download it now and save it to a USB key? [16:27] Gandhi, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD [16:27] Toznoshio: (I'm using Windows right now but will have to reboot to load Ubuntu) [16:27] I think I need to reinstall the webserver and then try to apply the advice from this room again :) [16:27] calum, if it is updated often then you should write it locally and have cron cruise by every five minutes and pick it up and drop it off wherever [16:27] calum, ehh sudo apt-get remove --purge apache [16:28] ah that sounds easier than I feared, ompaul - the apt-get part :) [16:28] Toznoshio : correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that guide assume I'm able to connect to the internet? [16:29] calum, assuming you installed it with synaptic or apt-get [16:29] calum, if not then you may have some nasty problems on your hands [16:29] I did it with apt-get :) [16:29] I did it using tasksel [16:30] Gandhi, yes, or else you can download the .deb on another PC [16:30] okay i have a weird problem, i just upgraded to intrepid ibex about 4 hours ago.. now when i goto watch videos either with totem or vlc, memory spikes to 100% this problem did not exist before the upgrade, can anyone assist? [16:30] hey, how to stop a module from loading at boot time? [16:30] I reckoned that tasksel would set it up for me as it ought to work without my breaking it during installation :-) [16:30] Hi guys, this is my first time using IRC. I have a question, is there something I should do to ask a question? [16:30] i'm having trouble with SCIM not giving me an option other than English.. I have enabled other languages in the settings but still no luck [16:30] sint, with "modprobe -r" [16:30] can anyone help me [16:30] what's a good program to convert avi, mp4 and etc. to dvd format? [16:31] calum: sorry, was afk. no you don't need to change permissions of /var/www when you added yourself to the group. however you may need to re login once to make the group chnage apply [16:31] DualWolf: simply ask the your question [16:31] jayde_drag0n: you could try re-installing vlc and trying. Or reboot before anything else. [16:31] so I have an occasional problem, sometimes my caps lock key toggles so that when the light is on caps is off and when the light is off caps is on [16:31] Toznoshio: ya, this remove a loaded module, but it will be loaded next time i boot up my system. is there a way to prevent this? [16:31] DualWolf: yeah. ask. [16:31] alarond: if the problem was with vlc it wouldn't extend to any video player would it? [16:31] sint, only by recompiling the kernel [16:31] zsquareplusc: i fixed it. if you have the same problem like me one day, you should append in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config "GatewayPorts yes" :) [16:32] calum: why would you un-install apache if you want to use it? [16:32] I recently installed ibm5250 from IBM and when I use Shift F9 in the application, it sends the application into la la land. Is there a special function in Ubuntu 8.10 that I need to disable for it to work in the application? [16:32] ah :) [16:32] I dont know much about program, how would I toggle the light without toggleing caps [16:32] Toznoshio: really? i'm having a generic kernel. i never compiled it myself [16:32] I think I may have misconfigured a file in it the setup of it gnutron :) [16:33] hey all, I've got ics setup via firestarter from my ppp device to eth0, but its not showing that any connection from the computer at eth0 is connecting to anything, does anyone have any ideas? [16:33] hello [16:33] sint, then you're better off blacklisting that module [16:33] there is a shitload of people here [16:33] jayde_drag0n: no. a possible reason wud be incorrectly configured video codecs. are you using g-streamer sets? if yes, then go to synaptic, uninstall, re-install. better to re-boot system before this tho'. [16:33] Toznoshio: how? [16:33] calum: I see... well you don't want to change permissions unless you want a very vulnerable server. [16:34] How would I go about changing the light for the caps lock key when it becomes stuck in the opposite position, eg. when the light is OFF it types in caps [16:34] just sort of annoying [16:34] * Gandhi1 is Gandhi, who timed out. [16:34] gaintsura: have you enabled ip_forwarding? [16:34] I am the only person that uses this machine and it is just for testing before putting onto the internet that I use it, gnutron. The rest of those on the network are family. [16:34] what's the default foreign language input method program for ubuntu (gnome)? [16:34] sint, for an example, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [16:35] * Gandhi1 Kicks Gandhi in the nuts. Timeout already. [16:35] Toznoshio: ok, thanks :) [16:35] Hi hi , can someone tell me how to fix the "opening 0 items" problem/ [16:35] darkvertex: I thought I had... perhaps not, how can I check? [16:35] For ibm5250, I was able to use Shift+F9 on ubuntu 8.04 and I was wondering if this has a special function in 8.10 that needs to be turned off. [16:35] How would I go about changing the light for the caps lock key when it becomes stuck in the opposite position, eg. when the light is OFF it types in caps [16:35] alarond: i'm not sure what sets i'm using.. i followed "how to" instructions when i went to install the codecs previously.. so i don't remember what i typed.. and whatever they were, at the time i was under a fresh 8.04 install which has been less that 2 months ago because i got my new computer then (this one) [16:35] It is not like I am in an office. [16:36] try cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [16:36] On the net, I found a bunch of stuff about some rain effect with Shift+F9 but nothing else. [16:36] So, right, same problem; I am able to connect to the wireless network through windows on the same computer, and Xubuntu on another, but not through Ubuntu 8.10. I think the network manager is to blame. I need a solution that includes me saving something to a USB key or something. [16:36] anybody use fc2 here ? [16:36] is ubuntu 8.10 good for server side ? [16:37] Cige: lol. nice problem. :) did you try enabling caps lock LED in BIOS? [16:37] DualWolf: the rain effect is if you have compiz enabled. [16:37] darkvertex: all that returned was '1' [16:37] Cige: there's a command line program, can't remember the name [16:37] quizme: for a server you might consider 8.04/hardy as is has longer support (LTS) but both work fine for servers [16:37] ne2k__: setleds? [16:38] zsquareplusc: thanks. no cpanel though right? [16:38] ne2k__: can you at least point me in the right direction? [16:38] Hi Jaffarkelschac! I am not familiar with compiz, is this something that I need to turn off? [16:38] Nobody knows how to fix it? [16:38] gaintsura:  then it has been forwarded. Do you have masquerade on your iptables rules? [16:38] quizme: cpanel? [16:38] so when you press shift f9 do you get the rain effect? DualWolf [16:38] I disabled all my iptables rules except for whatever firestarter set [16:38] ne2k__: dumb question, but in windows you can pull up an on screen keyboard, can you do the same in ubuntu? and if so, if you have caps lock ON there and it was OFF on your keyboard.. would the lights have switched? [16:39] jayde_drag0n: okay. Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. you'll be prompted to give your password [16:39] I tried Shift+F9 outside of the ibm5250 application to see if it has a special purpose, but it didn't do anything that I noticed. [16:39] alarond: done [16:39] darkvertex: I did not see masquerade on my iptables rules. [16:39] jayde_drag0n: then at the search bar, type in 'gstreamer' [16:39] are they installed? [16:40] zsquareplusc: yeah [16:40] it's not a bios problem because it normally works, it just happens occasionally, usually when i've been working on a paper for a few hours [16:40] alarond: some are, yes [16:40] gaintsura: you could also check route -n to see if routing enabled to diff networks [16:40] by default that key combination does not do anything except when configured in ccsm DualWolf [16:40] so I'm inclined to think that it is a software problem [16:40] how can i save the state of aptitude before running `aptitude keep-all`, in case I want to restore it or just review the state? [16:40] ARGH. If anyone replied to my question I missed it. Could you re-paste it? [16:41] Hmmp. I also tried tn5250, which is an open source version of the emulator and that doesn't work either. Which leads me to believe it's an Ubuntu thing. [16:41] I sent a request to IBM for assistance with no replay and I need this to keep a Linux only workstation at home. [16:41] alarond: do i uninstall all of them? [16:42] no no [16:42] darkvertex: heres the pastebin from route -n and sudo iptables -L http://pastie.org/334018 [16:42] i am not sure i get your problem, is the shift f9 supposed to do something that its not? DualWolf [16:42] gaintsura: let;s see [16:42] Shift+F9 is needed to debug application on the AS/400, iSeries, System i, IBM i; whatever the name of the month is... [16:43] When I try to execute this key combination, the emulator just runs like it's doing something, but never returns user interface control. [16:43] jayde_drag0n: okay. i'll ask you to re-install a common plug-in set. that'll do a fresh install. [16:43] jayde_drag0n: open the terminal. [16:43] alarond: okee dokee.. opening the terminal [16:44] alarond: sudo apt-get install what [16:44] jayde_drag0n: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [16:44] oh well, it doesn't really matter because I can just typr lowercase with the caps light on [16:44] i am not sure how to help then, i am not familiar with this emulator, but shift f9 does not do anything special in ubuntu unless configured to do so DualWolf [16:45] Hi. I have a smartphone running WM6, is there a way to get/sync my contacts on it ? [16:45] jayde_drag0n: su [16:45] jayde_drag0n: and sudo apt-get install mpg123 [16:45] alarond: some were already at their newest versions, and so weren't re-installed.. is that okay? [16:45] This would enable most of the popularly used codecs in the Totem Movie player which uses the GStreamer framework to play audio/video files. [16:45] Well, thanks for your feedback. I'll follow up with IBM to see if they could help out. I'd hate to have to dual boot on Windows for a single app.... [16:45] what's a good program that will allow me to covert avi and other formats over to dvd and burn them? [16:45] alarond: the second one.. same.. already at its newest version [16:46] DualWolf: by they way, did you install this app from ubuntu repo [16:46] jayde_drag0n: that will not do. the prior installations have to be overwritten. please go to synaptic, uninstall the gstreamer codecs, then re-install. [16:46] I just did a fresh install on Ubuntu 8.10 and didn't monkey around too much with the settings, so everything should be at default setting with Shift+F9 and it doesn't work on ibm5250 or tn5250. [16:46] gaintsura: I don't see any gateway to 10.6.x.x. Besides do you own the entire 168.254.x.x net? I'm assuming this is meant to be your local network right? [16:46] No, I downloaded from IBM. Converted the rpm to deb with alien and installed that. [16:47] DualWolf not the best choice [16:47] With tn5250, I used apt-get [16:47] gaintsura: where are the clients located? what ip addr? [16:47] alarond: since i do not know the names of every codec, do i just uininstall the ones that said "already at newest version" or uninstall everything that says gstreamer [16:47] Hello everyone, I was wondering - why does ubuntu have openarena version 0.7.7 when it has few servers and version 0.8.1 is out? Just curious =) [16:47] darkvertex: 10.6.x.x is my external connection, and 169.254.x.x is my internal network (eth0 [16:48] DualWolf I have not worked on an as-400 in ages, but there were some keyboard tricks we had to use with some termnal emulators [16:48] Why is that not the best choice Jack_Sparrow? [16:48] I did a filter on FlexRSS (Deluge's plugin) for the Dexter show, but the filter match the "normal Dexter" and the "720p Dexter". I need get off the "720p"! So? [16:48] in synaptic if i search something..even though the name exist it will show no result...any help ? [16:49] jayde_drag0n: 'already at newest version'. after that, type the commands into terminal again. [16:49] wolfdart: search "Dexter" AND NOT "720p" [16:49] alarond: okay [16:49] Jack_Sparrow, yes I am very familiar with those. Most commonly it's the enter key. I tried checking the keyboard maps for the function keys and they all seem legit. [16:49] !alien [16:49] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [16:49] Dabbu: sont use the quicksearch field and make sure it is empty [16:49] Dabbu: be sure the 'All' sections are highlighted in the left pane, then search. [16:49] jayde_drag0n: incidentally, which application is showing the 100% memory usage? like, what's the message like? [16:50] gnutron: i do that br quick search show no result.. [16:50] gaintsura: IMO you should use 192.168.x.x for you internal net. Your ppp is directly connected to the internet right? [16:50] hi === Radbrad is now known as Green_if_it_was_ [16:50] yes, ppp is directly connected [16:50] who ia joshua? [16:50] this is cool [16:50] there is a tn5250 in the repo, i assumed that is the one you tried or was that also a rpm from ibm DualWolf [16:50] sorry, just testing this out. [16:51] That's disappointing. IBM boasts Linux support, but it's disappointing. This isn't the first time. [16:51] gaintsura: so where is this 10.6.x.x located? [16:51] josh woolems? [16:51] no, joshua wells [16:51] !ot [16:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:51] darkvertex: 10.6.x.x is given from ppp0 [16:52] so, what is the general topic of discussion? [16:52] how can i use my webcam in ubuntu [16:52] gaintsura, Hmm, doesn't match! The filter to all Dexter is "dexter.%sx%e". The "dexter.%sx%e AND NOT 720p" doesn't match the "normal Dexter"! =/ [16:52] alarond: did not fix the problem [16:52] how can i use my webcam in ubuntu [16:52] !ot > joshua__ [16:52] joshua__, please see my private message [16:52] hello [16:52] !webcam [16:52] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:52] sudo apt-get install cheese [16:52] Dabbu: click on 'sections' click on 'all' then do your search. [16:52] yes [16:53] i am gonna go, this was just a test to see what it does. [16:53] v [16:53] np [16:53] alarond: what message?? i open a movie.. currently i chose pushing daisies.. it opens in totem, like it always has.. but now instead of being smooth .. the video is choppy.. and the memory bar is maxxed === napster is now known as napster123 [16:53] alarond: i have system monitor in my top panel [16:53] darkvertex: am fixing the internal network address now, hold please =) [16:54] gaintsura: great. I'll wait ... [16:54] thanks === incepator____ is now known as incepator__ [16:54] jayde_drag0n: okay. run any media. while running, type 'top' into the terminal [16:54] I used "apt-get install tn5250" to install the tn5250. [16:54] hi does anyone here got x-fi extreme audio on ubuntu 8.10 running ? [16:54] jayde_drag0n: it should show the % memory usage of that process. [16:55] alarond: totem cpu% 87.5 mem% 9.2 [16:55] Is there a better way to convert rpm for install on ubuntu than alien? [16:55] DualWolf best not to use rpm's at all [16:56] is there a decent command line app to post to usenet with? [16:56] khakane pine can do usenet I think [16:56] khakane: slrn [16:56] !info pan [16:56] pan (source: pan): A Newsreader based on GTK2, which looks like Forte Agent. In component main, is optional. Version 0.132-3.1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 755 kB, installed size 3292 kB [16:56] Then, maybe a request from IBM for a deb package might be the way to go? [16:56] darkvertex: ok, I changed them on both the windows box (192.168.1.3) and my box's eth0 (192.168.1.2) [16:56] khakane, pan [16:56] good night [16:57] oops terminal [16:57] !compile | DualWolf [16:57] DualWolf: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:57] but still, to no avail, I have no connection on the windows box [16:57] khakane: slrn is a command line usenet reader, easy to setup, pan is a GUI reader. [16:57] I need a version of Newsleecher for Ubuntu [16:57] jayde_drag0n: which is expected. top shows the correct usage and 9.2% is fine. [16:57] alarond: one thing has changed tho.. now VLC is not at the top, and it wasn't choppy.. BUT i would like to fix totem if i can [16:58] I want to convert many .bmp files to .jpg. I rather not write the names of each and every one. [16:58] Good afternoon from Spain everybody. I have a question relating to Intrepid Ibex and the veeeeery sloooooow ripping of cds....Anyone else had the same issue? [16:58] gaintsura: see if you can ping both boxes to each other [16:58] How can I make a smooth command to do this? [16:58] ok, hold [16:58] Compiling from source. I was hoping this wouldn't be an all day project. [16:58] alarond: it is expected for totem to use between 85 and 95 percent of the cpu? [16:59] What is that bots name? [16:59] ubottu [16:59] !brain | Photoguy [16:59] darkvertex: ping failed on both sides [16:59] Photoguy: 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 [16:59] jayde_drag0n: u said 9.2 right? [16:59] alarond: 9.2% of mem.. not of cpu cpu varied between 85% and 95% [16:59] i am having problems controlling the drag selection in openoffice [17:00] it won't stop when i want it to [17:00] YlandeFaran: you should check out imagemagick [17:00] i mean openoffice calc [17:00] i am using xinerama and four heads on the system [17:00] YlandeFaran: specifically the mogrify command. it'll convert multiple images to another format with one command, renaming them too [17:01] gaintsura: so how are the hardware setup? I mean both boxes are connected to a switch/hub? And your linux box directly connected to the modem? [17:01] darkvertex: linux box directly connected to usb adapter (ppp0), ethernet crossover cable from linux box to windows box [17:02] jayde_drag0n: what is the PID of the process? [17:02] !bridge [17:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [17:02] alarond: now that we did those installs i know the problem was combined codecs/players.. NOW the problem is specifically a player problem.. totem.. totem uses a crap ton of processor and VLC is only using like 10-18% [17:02] gaintsura: I see. How does route -n look on the linux box now? [17:03] hi, how do I request that a package from jaunty (which has bug fixes) is released as an update to intrepid ? [17:03] hi, I have system (LTS 6.06) thats takingn 1:40 seconds to do the "mounting root file system" step at boot time. IIRC this is much longer than it used to be. Does any have an idea what it might be? [17:03] Anyone help me with the cd ripping problem? please feel free to pm me if you think that it would spoil the rhythm of the open channel [17:03] alarond: 12958 [17:03] darkvertex: http://pastie.org/334041 [17:03] skorasaurus as jaunty is not released yet you won't be getting any backports [17:03] Thanks for your feedback. I was hoping for a special Shift+F9 answer, but no luck. I'm heading over to IBM. Thanks! [17:03] tobor slower response to dhcp, fsck, [17:03] peter: which app do you use ? [17:04] I¡ve been using rhythmbox [17:04] ikonia: its got a static IP. AFAIK its not doing any fsck. [17:04] jayde_drag0n: we'll renice the CPU priority of the process to 19. type 'r' in top. then u'll be asked to specify a renice value. put 19. [17:04] peter: try k3b ,also see: [17:04] !burn [17:04] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [17:04] tobor usb devices taking a moment or two to discover [17:04] and I have the same prob with 64 bit and 32 bit, also hardy. Curiously suse 11 works just fine, but I can't stand kde4.1 yet [17:04] jayde_drag0n: totem shows 4.7% on my machine. lol, the usage IS over the top! [17:05] peter: sudo apt-get install k3b [17:05] rhythmbox. seemingly great music player. but when I copy an album from a CD to my library, and then play it back, it has gaps between the tracks. I thought this was the 21st century?! [17:05] et multihost on [17:05] same prob with k3b too.....I wonder if its a kernel issue? [17:05] gaintsura: that looks better. But if you still cannot ping from the linux box to the windows one, then maybe you should check your crossover cable first [17:05] its a brand new cable [17:05] gaintsura what did you use to bridge the connection? [17:06] gaintsura Firestarter is popular for that purpose [17:06] I'm using firestarter to share the internet from linux to the eth0 [17:06] hi [17:06] k [17:06] alarond: okay.. was it suposed change? [17:06] hello, I'm getting this really annoying issue trying to get 3 monitors going. I've enabled the onboard gpu (as well as a normal gpu) and both display in lspci, without the onboard one enabled I can get a picture between the two on the normal gpu, with the onboard enabled (and setup in xorg.conf) it just loads up black, I can't ctrl+alt+f1 (or any others) and the only thing I can do is restart,, where can I see what's goin [17:06] gaintsura: you can't ping either one from either side? have you checked software firewall settings? [17:06] darkvertex: I use firestarter for sharing, and guarddog to maintain iptables, but currently guarddog is disabled [17:06] jayde_drag0n: yes. [17:07] ne2k__: yes, iptables on my side is clear, and there is no firewall on the windows system [17:07] alarond: i think i'll just give up, uninstall totem.. and set all the videos to open in vlc.. but thats really a band-aid.. BUT if i don't see a problem anywhere else.. its a band-aid i can live with [17:07] peter: could you paste your /etc/hdparm.conf ? [17:07] gaintsura: you should check with iptables -L that the iptables is actually clear [17:07] gaintsura: have you got the netmasks set correctly? [17:07] gaintsura: what is the output of arp -a? [17:07] gaintsura: I think the cilprit may be the cable itself. The cable (assuming its a category 5/6 type) should have a certain reverse sequence of colors. [17:07] its got a couple of lines in it ne2k__, but I can flush them. [17:08] sure dasei, but I thought that dma issues are no longer addressd thorugh hdparm? [17:08] *culprit [17:08] jayde_drag0n: hang around IRC. you [17:08] gaintsura: not if you're happy that they are not interfering [17:08] darkvertex: I'll double check that [17:08] jayde_drag0n: you'll get a more wise ubuntu-guide soon. :) [17:08] gaintsura: are you actually getting a link light on the NIC at both ends? [17:08] yes [17:08] firestarter wont start unless both connections are active [17:08] and windows says its connected [17:09] peter: though I mostly still use hardy, my ibex doesn't do so, very slow dma is an idea [17:09] gaintsura: output of mii-tool? [17:09] I've got a problem trying to get 3 monitors going, I've setup xorg so it longer gives an xerror, but it just shows black on all screens when I startx now, the xorg log is error free, what else can I do? [17:09] alarond: you were fine.. i just lack patience LOL.. cuz its either that or reinstall 8.04 and say screw ibex.. cuz this is the 2nd time i've had major issues with it on a system [17:09] what MP3 players work with Linux [17:09] so, i just wait for jaunty for the fixed bug ? [17:09] gaintsura: have you got more than one nic in each machine? have you definitely set the IP on the right nic?

I've had a google and read and, with my raid setup it looks over complicated, and I don't want to loose what I have so, [17:10] no [17:10] gaintsura: have you changed the MAC address on either machine? do they have the same mac address?! === speener is now known as egoflux [17:10] alarond: thank you for helping tho [17:10] its a usb adapter thats ppp0, the nic is for the ics [17:10] do I need a special computer to use MythTV?

[17:13] i can't type japanese with uim (anthy) in xchat or firefox, but I can on other stuff (gedit).. anyone know what to do?

[17:39] in what directory a file will be generated for printing? [17:39] sipior: thanks, good points [17:39] tdreyer1: basically every program that's half-way decent has a script called "configure" in the root of the source archive, and you should study the options to that to work out what you need to do. normally you can just set PREFIX=/home/me. if you need to compile against custom libraries, for example, you should change LIB_DIR (I think it's called that) to /home/me/lib/ etc. [17:39] !terminal [17:39] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I tried a year ago but all I got from mplayer was some randomly-colored blocks. [17:45] tonyyarusso, what packages would I need to install?

[18:08] balle_, booting the windohs partition really isn't a good idea. Better to create a VM of the Windohs install and then boot it the usual way [18:09] Xubu: the debian folks have tons of documentation on non-standard installs at their web site. best to start there, i think. [18:09] sysdoc: yea i know, it is to try to salvage my windows partition because it is a bit f'ed up [18:10] is there a way to have a folder shared between linux and windows, but with one subfolder different on each? [18:10] yes lime cat [18:11] Can you give me a link miss them if you want to supior Easter? [18:11] When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly?

[18:12] balle_, I just did this method and it worked great [18:12] Running XP in a VM as we speak [18:12] sysdoc: thx i'm trying it out now [18:12] Arron: When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly? [18:13] balle_, have any questions just pm me [18:13] Hello?? [18:13] jonicache: how would i do it? what im trying to do is have World of warcraft work on both vista and linux, but i need one settings file to be different, the settings are stored in a settings folder [18:13] sysdoc: great thx and is it free btw? i see the user registration [18:13] :-X [18:13] after updating von 8.04 to 8.10 my skype application crashes when i use the video feature. without it no problem. anybody an idea? [18:14] OMG HELLO REPLY REPLY REPLY! [18:14] When you download a program and its in a .jar format how can you install that into the system like a .deb file rather than just running it directly?V [18:14] Arron: can you find the exit on your own? [18:14] 1437 in the chat room and no one can respond? [18:14] limecat: [18:14] Arron: no one probably has an answer... well i don't have one. you can put it in /usr/local/bin and write a wrapper to start it. [18:14] Arron: no one knows the answer, or no one cares about your question. [18:14] limecat: most settings on linux for your install stuff are in hidden directories in your /home directory.. Open Places>Home and then ctrl+h to reveal the hidden directories.. they start with a period (.).. [18:15] Oh how kind :D [18:15] I dont really care about you but anyway I shall have a try [18:15] What is a wrapper [18:15] Scunizi: i know where the settings file is, its stored in WoWinstallfolder\wtf\account.wtf [18:15] !who | Arron [18:15] Arron: 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 :) [18:15] limecat: i don't see how you could do what you ask. [18:15] Oooh okay [18:16] Im new you see to Linux im a windows.com person [18:16] is there a way to make transparent folder links so that MOST of the subfolders are shared, but the main folder and the settings folder were stored on the linux drive? [18:16] limecat: both the exporting system and the remote, mounting system need to agree on the contents of a filesystem. you might be able to trick your linux install with symbolic links. [18:16] Arron: a wrapper would be a 2 line shell script with #!/bin/sh and java -jar your.jar as contents. that in /usr/local/bin and you can run your program as a command [18:16] Arron, welcome to the real world, lol [18:17] I just dl and extracted songbird but i dont know how to install it? [18:17] Arron, you'll need to create a .deb package - see the Debian Package Maintainer's guide [18:17] unop THANKYOU :D [18:17] Is there a command-line way to connect/configure a PPTP VPN connection for Ubuntu? I wnat to connect to work. [18:17] limecat: sorry joined the channel late and didn't have access to any of your previous posts.. [18:17] smart alicks :d [18:18] Arron, not being funny - but that's where you need to look [18:18] I know [18:18] I am [18:18] Im being serious saying thankyou [18:19] Hi all, I have a problem with the KBluetooth4 package. I open konsole, and run it, but it just crashes with signal 11 (SIGSEGV). I'm on Kubuntu 8.10 amd64 + 2.6.27.10-generic + KDE 4.2 beta1 [18:19] Arron: you dont install jar files [18:19] Wowa Ubuntu sure aint user friendly [18:19] Arron: not in linux, and not in windows [18:19] I know you dont [18:19] hmm.. [18:19] Arron: what program are you trying to install? [18:19] im getting tired of kubuntu [18:19] to many bugs [18:19] It was phex [18:19] any one agree ? [18:19] Arron: so why would you want to create a .deb of a jar? [18:19] Arron: there's no point in doing so [18:20] Well the program wont run without the multiple .jar fiels in the folder [18:20] (as there's no point in creating .exe files of java jar files eihter.. :S ) [18:20] *files [18:20] Arron: for someone weened on linux I suppose Windows would be viewed as no user friendly [18:20] I want it all together like an exe [18:20] *not [18:20] Windows not user friendly? thats insane [18:20] Arron: well, that's not how java works. not in linux, and not in windows [18:21] Arron: however, you can create a sh wrapper script [18:21] have you tried wine with phex for windows Arron [18:21] Yess I am aware thankyou I know you can extract jar files then compile them again? [18:21] juanez, that's like saying - there's no point in creating a .deb file for any package .. a .deb gives you the advantage of using the contents as a package that can be maintained by APT [18:21] Wine I havnt although I have heard of it [18:21] Arron: well, most likely they are already compiled. a JAR file is most often a zip archive of compiled java classes [18:22] I have always been with windows you see so Im just trying something different but the majority of programs are not for linux :/ [18:22] Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble with clutter gtk. It won't work in a firefox plugin window. The refresh doesn't work. It only shows the first frame and then freezes. Could someone tell me what I could do to resolve this. The same code works fine in a regular app just not in firefox. [18:22] Arron: there sure are alternatives though ;) [18:22] i use wine with utorrent it works fine, not sure about phex never used it Arron . I am sure there alternatives to the programs you want. [18:23] Arron: i may be wrong, but dont you typically just install java and then doubleclick the jar? [18:23] Like frostwire and all that yeah [18:23] I dont like using them "top" known p2p programs [18:23] !p2p | Arron [18:23] Arron: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [18:24] not to mention Transmission [18:24] I just would like to use my usuall windows application in linux maybe I should give wine a try right? But I dont really want this I want native apps form ubuntu [18:24] Hello. I have an issue with Pulseaudio, it's working incorrectly. Is there a way to disable Pulseaudio and work through the default alsa driver? [18:24] Arron: maybe you shoudl stick with windows then? [18:25] Arron: it depends. If you MUST have windows programs but want linux, wine is fine for many things' [18:25] NoSound321: yes :) [18:25] Yeah but I want to use linux [18:25] well not forever but get knowledge [18:25] but native is generally "better", it works easier, its auto updated, etc, and doesnt break when wine gets bugs' [18:25] Arron: so stop trolling and use Wine or a linux alternative application [18:25] juanez yaay, help me plz :) [18:25] how am I trolling?? [18:25] juanez: i dont think hes trolling [18:26] is there a value I can edit in the configuration editor that will speed up the autohiding of a panel [18:26] Hmm thats a Im fed up cant be bothered talking line [18:26] NoSound321: uhm, lemme see what i did [18:26] limecat: regarding your earlier question, you could probably set up your linux WoW install to look at a local directory, and then create a series of symbolic links from this configuration folder to the real installation, mounted on the windows share. the only directory that would not be a symbolic link would be the configuration directory you want. [18:26] Arron its unlikely you will get exactly the software you want with native apps for ubuntu. i even have virtual xp to run some apps (channel 40d and veoh...etc) try wine if does not work you search for more [18:26] limecat: that *should* work... [18:26] mhm yeah okay [18:26] Hello. I am wondering, what is the replacement for nm-applet under TTY? How can I use it? [18:27] Im installing wine now I also wanted to try out osx on a pc [18:27] Arron: what program are you trying to run anyways [18:27] Well I guess office will be easy with wine right? [18:28] office MAY work' [18:28] Then phex and just see what will work [18:28] Why is there a chance it wont? [18:28] I thought it emulates windows? [18:28] Arron: i recommend openoffice or another alternative unless you HAVE to use office--theres a chance because wine isnt perfect [18:28] 2007 not soo much, i use openoffice Arron [18:29] Open office yeah but it looks urgrr ugly and untidy and crap [18:29] wine is in development constantly, and generally works well, but some programs dont work [18:29] not very professional [18:29] thats what ubuntu seem to look childish [18:29] anyone got some preferred links to howtos about kerberos krb5, por favor? tia [18:30] oh a quicky aswell how do I find memory cpu usage? [18:30] Arron, on the terminal run: top [18:30] if i may ask, why do you want to use ubuntu anyway, you seem so resistant to anything thats not windows. you can use top in terminal or gnome-system-monitor [18:31] Arron, System>Administration>System Monitor [18:31] Im not resistant Im just confused really I feel like an idiot I would speak to over the phone trying to fix there pc [18:31] Arron sure is trolling [18:32] ? Why do you keep saying that im new I have no idea am I breaking a rule? [18:32] Arron isnt trolling, quit being a jackass juanez [18:32] lol [18:32] you crazy as a wedge! [18:32] * sipior goes for popcorn [18:32] Is anyone able to get some kind of terminal bell working when using ubuntu via virtualbox? [18:32] it just takes time to get used to ubuntu and its apps Arron [18:32] [19:29:14] not very professional [18:32] [19:29:30] thats what ubuntu seem to look childish [18:32] juanez: your comments dont help. Hes new from windows and learning the ropes, and youre being hostile [18:33] I agree :) [18:33] can i make vmware starting a virtual pc in unity and with the startup in background? [18:33] fine. enjoy the ride [18:33] did wine help with your phex problem [18:33] does anyone know what you have to do to get sound working in ubuntu through virtualbox [18:33] Im going to download it now and figure the setup out Im just looking at system monitor atm [18:33] i dont think alienating people who are giving ubuntu a shot is helpful for the community [18:34] limecat: let it go. [18:34] douwei: it works for me, when i enable sound for the virtual machine and select pulseaudio as driver [18:34] oh sorry if Im asking to many questions :( [18:34] I tend to do that alot [18:34] thats what this is for [18:35] How can I tell if my Ubuntu is the 64 bit version? [18:35] how do you select pulseaudio for the driver? [18:35] Asking questions, lol for shame! [18:35] Photoguy: run uname -a === sean is now known as Guest29132 [18:35] From terminal?

I'm trying to install ubuntu, but my monitor says "out of range" after switching to X.

[18:38] m player ( my opinion [18:39] hmm, I have my firewall setup to allow icmp ping requests to be sent to the internal network, but its still rejecting them... [18:39] okay, thank you guys :) [18:39] zsquareplusc, yes, I did... [18:39] xbmc is really slick too. but more like a media-pc-app [18:39] setting up gmail on evolution imap.gmail.com right? [18:39] gaintsura: drop the firewall and make sure it's your firewall thats causing hte issue [18:39] Arron: gmail has the settings on the website [18:39] Iesos: if it prints help, something on the command line is wrong. did you also look at the man page?

[18:44] Arron, no === kd7swh|offline is now known as kd7swh [18:45] Arron: osx uses a bsd kernel, linux doesnt' [18:45] i think === sean is now known as Guest99106 [18:45] grr It sounds stupid but osx apps are pretty cool the only way to run them seems to be spending a fortune on a mac or running osx on a pc that ive never had any luck with [18:45] limecat, linux is a kernel it does not "use" a kernel ;) [18:46] Arron: OS X is for mac hardware [18:46] you can emulated it thought as its possible to run it on a pc [18:46] its been done [18:46] Arron: thats illegal [18:46] educational wise [18:46] Arron: to see lots of what's available with just a couple clicks go to System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager... in there you can look at everything that has been prepackaged for Ubuntu and also search by keyword or by catagory.. It's nice to cruz it occationally. [18:46] illegal [18:46] Arron: i think youll find that many linux apps are cool as hell too ;) check amarok, or compiz, or any gpanel apps [18:46] Arron: education doesn't make it legal [18:47] does it matter as long as your learning?

[18:50] hardy [18:51] hi [18:51] Arron: no-one is attacking you [18:51] scientes, that is your decision :) if it is running fine there is no reason to upgrade, assuming your are using hardy which is LTS [18:51] scientes: hardy is LTS, so if you dont like upgrading every 6 moths, stick with hardy for a server. [18:51] I see why people dont use ubuntu the support is dreadful! [18:51] scientes: hardy is LTS.. if this is a production machine no.. if you're just playing around .. go for it.

[19:19] synaptix, that is a meta package, it will not remove it's contents [19:19] does that package work both ways? ie will it pull off everything it brought with it? [19:19] it means you are removing one package which is part of the ubuntu-desktop [19:19] ah ok then [19:19] synaptix, yes, it will [19:20] erm, I mean, no, not for the removal, just in case you need to reinstall the base desktop packages [19:20] look at the size, its like 44kb. it wont hurt anything [19:20] it just hurts the upgrade to the next ubuntu release ;-) [19:20] its a dummy package [19:20] hurts in what way? [19:20] synaptix, if there are upgrades specific to ubuntu-desktop, like a new package added to it on the upgrade, you will not get it [19:21] I suppose the metapackage won't be there to upgrade everything that's needed [19:21] when the next release includes new applications for the desktop, they wong get installed as you removed the meta package [19:21] ( if you call them metapackages over here ) [19:21] I suppose I could reinstall it as part of my upgrade plan [19:21] when I try to login into a www-server via ssh, I receive the error message "Could not chdir to home directory ....".

How can I immidiately change to /www during login? [19:22] comicinker, cd /www [19:22] I'll survive with kubuntu-desktop in the long run [19:22] comicinker, assuming you do get a login prompt [19:22] zsquareplusc: almost everything that uses sound [19:23] synaptix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [19:23] comicinker, if you do not, you can't fix it, you will need to login with another user, or doing a local login [19:23] joaopinto: yes.

[19:23] I has problem with computoor [19:23] zsquareplusc: I'd rather just have my old sound system, which was perfectly functional for me in every way [19:23] comicinker, if ssh is kicking you on login, it's because for security reasons it requires you to have an existing home dir, and you can't workaround that [19:24] than invest my free time in fixing something that addresses problems that... [19:24] ...that don't seem to really exist [19:24] Can anyone help me with a font?

[19:26] comicinker, ftp does not relay on ssh for the authentication, your ftp server may allows you to login regardless if you have an home dir or not, that does not mean sshd will do it [19:26] zsquareplusc: All the gamers I know who use ubuntu have had lots of problems with pulseaudio, with games, with teamspeak, with in-game voice chat - I wonder if the wiki should point out [19:26] joaopinto: I see [19:26] redrebel: no, you missed the rm command. and for testing use echo instead of rm :-) [19:26] I am not able to install .PCF fonts, when I try "fs-cache -vf" it ignores the PCF [19:26] is there any way i can create a global hotkey like, oh, super-n to launch gedit? [19:26] Why? [19:27] that the path given in the removal instructions for hardy, should say they are gnome-specific? [19:27] zsquareplusc, thanx [19:27] it's driving me nuts that i can't get anything like pshotlaunch or any of the other eleventy billion hotkey launchers [19:27] it might save people a little confusion - because it looks like a file system path [19:27] hilow [19:27] "/system/preferences/sound" [19:27] hey, is shmconfig.fdi a HUGE text file? [19:27] joaopinto: /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log, what should I do with it? [19:27] joaopinto: but maybe I can modify the ~/.ssh/config for this host to specify a default directory ?

I downloaded amarok and keep getting the "No available decoder" error message... I uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same thing... I want to listen to internet radio only..

It will image your partitions so you can put them back onto the other drive..

I mean I have the iso on the HD, don't want to burn it [19:32] !iso [19:32] 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. [19:32] mgolisch: actually it's horrible to the point where it defeats any ability to enter any shortcuts at all [19:32] dominic_f: I've got a ppp0 device (usb broadband WWAN adapter) on my linux box, and I'm trying to share the internet via ethernet crossover cable to a windows box. Previously, I could not get either box to ping the other. Now I seem to have managed to get linux to ping windows, but not the other way around. I'm using firestarter to provider the ICS abilities. [19:33] ohhh okay, n can't take any spaces [19:33] the archive manager can be used to explore the contents of ISO"s [19:33] Scunizi, thanks [19:33] just right-click on them [19:33] i guess computers aren't advanced enough to strip out any *^&&*(^!#^!^ spaces [19:33] What part of gnome or ubuntu controls how the lock screen dialog looks? How can I customize it? [19:34] mgolisch: that worked -- thanks :) [19:34] sproingie: np [19:34] * sproingie grumbles, no thanks to the people who don't offer something that basic in gnome [19:34] lol customise. [19:35] is that doing the same thing as kotkeys then? [19:35] hotkeys only works with those "special keys" [19:35] i tried three different hotkey programs, they're all the same that way, basically hardwired [19:35] how do I "open" an iso file? like if it where a .rar? just downloaded a collection of books and is in .iso... [19:36] you want to launch things with individual letter presses? [19:36] diffred: mount it somewhere [19:36] right-click on it and open with archive manager [19:36] !iso | diffred [19:36] diffred: 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.

[19:36] and nothing happened :S [19:36] can anyone help me with the sub on my speakers. I have turned the LFE way up and screwed aroudn with it but it doesn't have any effect and it is not muted [19:36] im haveing trouble with vids and sound - can any1 help? [19:36] I don't have any new folder, nor I've got any error [19:36] you could also mount the ISO as though it were a drive too [19:37] diffred: where did you mount it? [19:37] they are 2.1 speakers on 5.1 sound card [19:37] to the same folder where the iso file is [19:37] sudo mount -o loop ALL\ MATH\ BOOK\ CATEGORISED.iso . [19:37] diffred: u can't do that [19:37] can't find any forum topics about that particular configuration [19:37] badawi: so what should I do? [19:37] is there a replacement panel for gnome that can be hidden 100%? [19:37] diffred: sudo mount -o loop ALL\ MATH\ BOOK\ CATEGORISED.iso /mnt [19:38] badawi: so then I'll have a folder with the books? [19:38] synaptix: right, for ages i've had a command prompt and notepad bound to a hotkey in windows. very convenient [19:38] is there a way to display all files/folders in DIR A that are not in DIR B? [19:38] diffred: the files will be in /mnt [19:38] badawi: but /mnt is on the internal HD init, that file is too big to mount it on the internal HD, I would like to mount it on the external USB HD [19:39] diffred: it doesn't matter [19:39] darkvertex: I erased and rebuilt all of my firewall rules (then cleared them), followed a tutorial on ICS using the iptables postrouting masquerade/dnsmasq/ipmasq and rebooted.. [19:39] Yound it's like letter or something, or just button on multimedi keybord? [19:39] ew [19:39] Scunizi, if I use partimage I still need to make partitions on that 160 GB hdd ? or I can create an image (from that 80 GB hdd where my OS's are) that contains all the partitions, and then simply write that image to the target drive (the 160 GB hdd) and the partitions shall be created on that 160 GB hdd [19:39] badawi: what do you mean [19:39] diffred, a mount point is just a directory. it dosent take any mopre space. [19:39] diffred: ^^ [19:39] how i can use a folder that share with samba in ubuntu [19:39] I meant "and it's like letter or something, or just button on multimedia keyboard?" [19:40] dr_willis: u mean the files are in the external hd eventhough I mount it on /mnt [19:40] can an1 help me with my sound - i dont have any and dont know how to fix it!! ------<<<<<<<<<< [19:40] karname, carify that a bit to the channel. [19:40] khotkeys actions can be individual keys, you know? [19:40] diffred, exactly. dosent make sence any other way... [19:40] synaptix: key combination. n for notepad in this case (gedit actually) [19:40] dr_willis: thanks than gonna do it :) [19:40] hi Is there a way to create a shortcut so that I can directly logon to my server without entering each time the logon credentials? [19:40] kantor: partimage will create partitions for you of the exact same size when you restore it to the new drive [19:40] paul68, you can enable auto login on the gdm setup [19:41] will anyone help me at this guide? [19:41] synaptix: i convinced csm to do this, but man is it a hell of a lot less nice than, say, pshotlaunch [19:41] and pshotlaunch's gui isn't necessarily even all that good [19:41] gaintsura: insert a rule to let icmp echo requests from the windows box [19:41] zsquareplusc: what, and it actually takes effort to set that up with the gnome apps? [19:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig - at SHMConfig, where do I enter the text? at the bottom of preferences.fdi or somewhere in the middle?

[19:42] paul68, System -> Admin -> Login Window [19:42] synaptix: there is nothing at all in the gnome apps i can see that even does that [19:42] when i double click the title of a window I want it to maximize/restore, not roll like a paper. I'm trying to find the compiz config option, but they're many. What is the exact option? [19:42] sproingie: use kde [19:42] synaptix: you are referring to what? using ALSA?

Pick your editor click apply shortcut and press super n [19:43] gaintsura: something like a: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -s 192.168.1.3 -j ACCEPT [19:43] hey, i've got a huge issue on my Eee 901 with apt-get. looks like i broke the package manager. it gives me a list of packages with unmet dependencies and tells me to run "apt-get -f install" to fix everything. but when running that i get an error stating /var/log/apt is missing and that dpkg returned an error code (1). i have no idea how to solve this problem [19:43] hey presto your editor opens every time you press super n [19:43] Guys help me! i can't run youtube anymore? i odn't know why..plus since last update (i still have 8.04) i can't run amsn and amule! [19:43] if you like customising stuff, I'd just use kde to be honest [19:43] synaptix: kde wins again. i probably should install it, i've just not had great experiences installing via aptitude install kubuntu [19:44] and since i had to install through wubi, kubuntu wasn't available [19:44] I just can't believe how difficult gnome makes these things as soon as you stray from the default behaviour [19:44] I'm not trolling, it just surprises me [19:44] actually the official behavior isn't difficult, it's impossible [19:44] Is there anything similar to yakuake for gnome? [19:44] tilda [19:45] J-_: tilda [19:45] synaptix / sproingie can you move the gnome vs KDE conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic ? Thanks [19:45] can any1 help me - i dont have any sound?? <<<--------------------------------- [19:45] when i double click the title of a window I want it to maximize/restore, not roll like a paper. I'm trying to find the compiz config option, but they're many. What is the exact option?

Cool, thanks [19:46] it would be topic mania to actually not help the guy. [19:46] * andre123 need help with aitconfig.. someone? [19:46] JUST because the answer was "try kde" [19:46] gaintsura: np. better yet use this: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT [19:47] synaptix, the problem is that you are describing the suggestion based on your personal opinion, which can clearly bring debate into the subject, something more suite to the offtopic channel :) [19:48] I'm just saying that KDE can do it, and Gnome can't. The only thought I ventured on it was that it surprised me. [19:49] if i reinstall windows, i know ill lose the loader for ubuntu, how can i put it back after that happens? [19:49] I don't really care. IT HELPED HIM TO BE TOLD ANOTHER SOFTWARE HAD THE FEATURE HE WANTED. [19:49] !grub | DiiPhantom [19:49] DiiPhantom: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:49] guys is it possible to disable the last update? [19:49] Thank you for your time, and I shall refrain from telling people KDE can do stuff, allowing them instead to spend hours trying to do it in Gnome. [19:49] Double plus ungood! [19:50] ghismo, what update are you referring to ? [19:50] sincelast update i have so many troubles [19:50] darkvertex: ok, now I can ping from both and see both... but I still have no internet connection [19:50] those one ubuntu suggest you.. [19:51] since last update (i syill have 8.04) i can't run amsn amule and etc etc.. [19:51] ghismo, if you want to reverse a specific update you need to know the package name and install the older version from the apt cache [19:51] but that cean bring you dependency problems, depends on the package [19:51] holy cow! lol ill leave that for another time :) [19:51] reversing an update with deps is real pain [19:51] ghismo, what error do you get on the terminal when you try to run one of thse ? [19:51] gaintsura: ensure ip_forward is still on (=1) and let us see your iptables -L [19:51] i remember yast did a pretty decent job at configuration snapshots [19:51] up til the point where it failed anyway [19:51] dbl click on window = maximize/restore, where is the option i compiz config? [19:52] how can i make switching between framebuffer and video card driver not reset my monitor, my monitor is not very good at autodetection and i have to unplug it, wait about 60 seconds, and replug it in every time to get it to work again [19:52] nothing! it simply doesn't run [19:52] RenatoSilva, please try the compiz support channel [19:52] i wish i could figure out how to switch between fb and vidcard driver without crashing X outright [19:52] ghismo, have you tried running amsn from a terminal ? [19:52] darkvertex: sure thing, hold please [19:52] ghismo, you have to type in the program name on the terminal and then you are likely to see errors [19:53] yes ...i've just tried and it doesn't run...and no error message [19:53] does it say seg fault or does it quietly close, or does it lock up the terminal and stay running with nothing to show for it? [19:54] it's kinda ironic, spent the first 10 years of using linux trying to get into a working X desktop, now X is entirely clicky config but i can't get out of it without crashing [19:54] hi guys [19:54] can someone help me please/ [19:54] hey RottenKid we can try :] what's up? [19:54] how much less will my computer be with a server kernel, i want xen [19:54] Scunizi, thank you very much for your help ;-) [19:55] i've just installed ubuntu [19:55] and my wireless driver with ndiswrapper [19:55] but by network i don't have roaming mode [19:55] ghismo, that question was for u [19:55] scientes, xen isn't well supported in ubuntu, look into kvm [19:55] :( [19:55] scientes: kernel isn't any different with server, it just installs a lot less packages [19:55] !enter | RottenKid [19:55] RottenKid: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:55] well 100mhz vs 250 mhz [19:55] and i can't enable [19:55] kantor: not a problem.. you might have to use gparted after to either create another partition with the unused portion of the drive or to expand the current partitions. [19:55] sproingie, actually the server kernel does have a different configuration [19:55] i need xen cause my server doesnt have VT [19:55] and xen is better anyways from what i can tell [19:56] for linux guests at least [19:56] scientes, you can also use vmware === Guest260 is now known as skunkworks_ [19:56] joaopinto: recent change? i never recalled it being different in 6.06 (which was the last server version i had) [19:56] scientes, ah I see, well, xen is a good option, when I was running it, i had quite minimal speed decreases [19:56] ahh thats the main thing preventing me from using xen, they are incompadible, but vmware isnt as flexible and you have to pay for reasonable features [19:56] darkvertex: ip_forward still = 1 and heres my iptables http://pastie.org/334213 [19:56] oh sorry i didn't realize [19:56] like live migration [19:57] RottenKid, it may not have roaming mode, but does it have an option to configure via dhcp? [19:57] sproingie, but it is on the latest version, there is a -server kernell package which is optmized for server applications [19:57] yes [19:57] scientes all the troubles started when i made the last update...i'm thinking to pass to 8.10...can u tell me how? [19:57] !enter | scientes [19:57] scientes: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:57] also doesnt xen put the kernel outside the vm so you can run one fully with nfs or other cool configs [19:57] it has for sure roaming mode [19:57] sproingie, I am just talking about the kernel, not about the "server" version, which meets your definition [19:57] I've mounted an iso file and now an icons appear on the desktop. How can I get rid of it? [19:57] because till 2 hours ago i've used it [19:57] hello, I am a bio student and the built in spellcheck keeps underlining common biology terms (ones that OSX was able to recognize) does anyone know whether there is a way to add a biology dictionary or something? [19:58] cand i speak with you in private?

[20:00] diffred: if you unmount it as root, then the icon should disappear [20:00] diffred, "sudo umount /path/to/mount" [20:00] sproingie: I've tried to do it in terminal with sudo but it doesn't appear when I do an "ls" [20:00] not sure where a .iso would be mounted [20:00] quick question where do files downloaded from apt-get upgrade go? [20:00] piklesonfire: le'ts see if I get it [20:00] ghismo, or at least the ones that are broken [20:00] I left my computer running for a short while and came back to find it had logged out and all my programs were shut down (maybe it restarted). How can I best investigate what happened? What log files are relevant? [20:00] i guys how can i change ubuntu themes??? [20:01] if you mount something through the gui, you sure should be able to unmount it that way [20:01] hi all [20:01] if not i'd sure call it a bug [20:01] gaintsura: the rules seems fine. how about routes and default gateways on boyj the linux box and the windows one?

ICEnsemble ICE1724 (Alsa mixer) seems to be controlling the volume. How can I make the SUB stronger? [20:01] My theory is that the sound card is treating the speakers as 2.0 instead of 2.1?

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:07] maybe I have not yet earned the respect to ask a simple question? [20:07] hwilde: i moved /var/tmp, /tmp, and /var/logs to tmpfs [20:07] ok, so the problem is powernow-k8.ko combined with fglrx, ati or the radeon drivers leads to completed instability and segfaults everywhere... anyone know how to get powernow and ati 3d drivers to co-exist?

[20:07] cr4z3d, change your mount point of /var in /etc/fstab [20:08] hwilde: but it doesnt solve the problem [20:08] Hi, Does anybody know how to make the virtualBox support USB ? [20:08] afancy, the point was to ask in #vbox [20:08] afancy: you use the propietary version? [20:08] vlad, you need to download the GTK2 version of those themes [20:08] or any acknowledgment really either? [20:08] how can I delete a file in a read-only filesystem!!!???

[20:09] rob: i didn't see your question. if you hadn't noticed, there's a lot of traffic here. i did see a lot of your bellyaching though. good impression.

[20:09] rob, i'm sorry you haven't gotten the help you needed, i read your question, but i don't know much about the issue, so i can't assist, can't say anything for anyone else tho [20:10] NicEXE: its not your problem, it is a problem of their DNS server.

I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and I'm having problems with my 2.1 speakers on my 5.1 sound card. The problem is that the sub strength is really weak but adjustable. I have already turned the LFE to max and assured it was not muted. Sound Capture is set as PulseAudio Sound Server. ICEnsemble ICE1724 (Alsa mixer) seems to be controlling the volume. How c [20:10] an I make the SUB stronger? [20:10] My theory is that the sound card is treating the speakers as 2.0 instead of 2.1? But I don't know cause I'm a linux noob [20:10] rob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:11] if I try to use that link --> http://rapidshare.com under windows XP using virtual box it will work without problems [20:11] could easily be it's treating it as stereo and no sub [20:11] for example how can i install this??? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta+(LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-)?content=42697 [20:11] hwilde: any other directories you suggest i move other than var? i'm goign to repartition soon [20:11] where ever (including firefox) I use this link --> http://rapidshare.com in Linux it will never work.

[20:13] rob: it seems a little trigger happy today [20:13] ifup [20:13] down [20:13] vladtsepesh1985: after you download that, it should place a file that ends in .tar.gz on your desktop. Open the theme manager and drag that file on your desktop into the area containing the various themes [20:13] yeah [20:13] ty [20:13] eseven73, sudo ifdown [interface] [20:13] should use ifup and not ifconfig up [20:13] Need Help I upgraded to 8.10 last week and it would not recognize my eth0 so i had to do a fresh install of 8.04 I would like to go to 8.10 but if eth0 problem can't be fixed I don't know.

[20:15] gaintsura: did tracert went past 172.28.220.130 ok? [20:15] bastaaaaa: I don't know, maybe gparted uses a daemon that is not connected to the X windows system?

[20:16] info about the dri project [20:16] Uuu: yeah I agree :o I'll just have to wait another 1.5h [20:16] rapidshare is about a hundred tons of fail anyway [20:16] good luck ;p [20:16] I'm using an nvidia driver. It recognizes my external monitor but I have to detect displays to get it working. Is there a way to automatically have twinview start when an external monitor is plugged in? [20:17] gaintsura: then the "host not found" message might be due to unset dns in the windows box [20:17] yeah, I didn't specify dns on the windows box, should the primary be pointed to my linux box IP? [20:17] i have download the file....after unrar it...i have a lot of folder...and the theme manager doesn't see it beacause the theme manager accept only "theme package" how can i do??? [20:18] vladtsepesh1985: don't unrar it [20:18] gaintsura: set it to your ISP dns, unless you have also set up dns (bind9) in the linux box [20:18] vladtsepesh1985, you use the compressed file as the install file [20:18] which I have not.... [20:19] brb [20:19] i try.... [20:19] vladtsepesh1985: as I said earlier, simply drag the compressed file onto theme manager [20:19] any body having a problem with intrepid 64 bit? the system hangs regularly and its performance is worse than hardy... [20:19] vladtsepesh1985, exactly what distefam said buddy [20:19] darkvertex: where can I find what my ISP's dns servers are? === cary__ is now known as Commie_Cary [20:19] hi all [20:19] darkvertex, you could always use 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 [20:19] omars, i had an issue, it was clocksource, check your system log for any messages regarding hpet please? [20:20] ok it works but the "windows bar color" is always the same why??? [20:20] gaintsura: look it up from the setting in your linux box? [20:20] how do i install UT3 in ubuntu? [20:20] piklesonfire, how do i check the system log :) [20:20] "windows bar color"? [20:20] any tits want get it ? [20:20] what setting? I know there is one, but what is it? or the command [20:20] omars, using a gui buntu or server type? [20:21] nvm [20:21] ndube: I'm unfamiliar with thode ips. what are they? [20:21] i did a noob thing and used tasksel to install LAMP, but in the process it removed xubuntu and a few other things, is there a way to recover? somehow it deleted all my network stuff too so i cant just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu' is there a way to do it with the live CD or something? [20:21] they are the universal dns servers [20:21] no restrictions on who can use them [20:21] does anyone know if it is possible to download special dictionaries for spellcheck, for instance CS or bio terms? [20:22] omars, if you're using a gui buntu (standard ubuntu) [menu] -> system -> administration -> system log [20:22] * gaintsura can has a w000t thanks darkvertex!!!!!!!! [20:22] ndube: wow ... I never knew yhay :( [20:22] * gaintsura does a little shuck and jive [20:22] np [20:22] *that [20:23] i did a noob thing and used tasksel to install LAMP, but in the process it removed xubuntu and a few other things, is there a way to recover? somehow it deleted all my network stuff too so i cant just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu' is there a way to do it with the live CD or something? [20:23] any woman want to know real man [20:24] * gaintsura roflz [20:24] frfr9, not appropriate for this channel [20:24] eseven73: with the live cd? "chroot" to the install and run apt-get could work [20:24] frfr9: oh my.. that's so wrong that it's just.. wow.. just go away.. please [20:24] zsquareplusc: chroot? [20:24] Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate network manager for Ubuntu 8.10 that I could download and install on a system currently unable to connect to the internet? [20:24] is there a documented standard for creating scripts that live in /etc/init.d [20:24] ? [20:24] Marky: wicd [20:24] theshadow: yes [20:25] zsquareplusc: Hi, I have added in my fstab, but it still cannot support USB [20:25] distefam: I'll google it. [20:25] mphill: excellent. Can I get a link to it? [20:25] eseven73, you could add the CD as a source and do the reinstall from there [20:25] eseven73: used to run progrms with an other "/", so it runs with the settings of your harddisk and not your cd. try "man chroot" for more info [20:25] look at /etc/init.d/skeleton [20:25] afancy: you did a mount -a? (needed to 1st time, alternatively reboot) [20:25] theshadow: thats the template [20:25] hello=) im having some problem with my sound - i just got it to work but its very low volume.. how do i fix that and how do i get my 5.1 system to work? ------------------------------- === sean is now known as Guest35140 [20:26] theshadow: although if you wanted to be a pimp playa you could use upstart [20:26] mphill: forgive me... upstart? [20:26] zsquareplusc: why need to mount? My host: Ubuntu, Winxp in VirtualBox [20:26] windstone have you tried alsamixer in the terminal? [20:26] theshadow: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [20:27] mphill: ty [20:27] afancy: the entry in fstab is activated with the mount command. and virtualbox wants to use that usbfs [20:27] hi, how can I stop my ubuntu box losing wireless connectivity when I log out of GNOME? [20:27] distefam: I'm having a lil trouble finding where to download it. wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php only seems to give instructions for installing it live on a system connected to the internet. I need to download it on this system and then transfer it to a system which is unable to connect. [20:27] yea sinbox i tried that it just tells me i need to run dpkg --configure -a, but then when i do that it gives other errors, if i reinstall totally fresh is there a way to keep my /home? i managed to back up /home to an external drive [20:27] theshadow: init.d is easy to get script to interact with, should be straight forward with the skeleton template [20:28] iam 30y m big male looking for real woman [20:28] guys [20:28] /ping frfr9 [20:28] im trying to get all my icons in gnome smaller .. desktop icons / menubar icons etc.. [20:28] any ideas ? [20:28] wtf [20:28] gaintsura: so if there is no prob tracing to legitimate ip(s) and with dns setting could get you to ping named sites, then you should be able to use the windows box as client and linux as ICS [20:28] Uuu Please dont swear even in shorthand [20:28] can a channel operator please kick or ban frfr9 [20:28] what's teh best way to find the biggest files or directories on your system? [20:28] frfr9, dude, this is a support channel for technical issues, not a place to get your mac on. please leave or ask for help [20:28] ndube already done look up [20:29] nice [20:29] thanks [20:29] piklesonfire: if that wasn't a call for help, I don't know what is ;) [20:29] ndube, he was muted just after he said that [20:29] lol Slart [20:29] how does one become a channel operator anyways?

So, How can I know where this device has been attached? [20:31] is there a way to restore my /home? i backed it up to an external USB hdd, and i need to reinstall ubuntu, [20:31] MetalliMyers: I think there is a test channel.. it even offers some automatic messages and stuff.. try #test [20:31] eseven73: sure, you just copy it back and then reset the permissions [20:31] zsquareplusc: do u know why? [20:31] eseven73: afaik you can just copy the files back [20:31] eseven73, if you have your home dir backed up you should be ble to just put it back there after a reinstall, but then if it's backed-up after your problem then it might not be the best idea, you'll probably want to restore it selectively, not something I've ever done personally [20:31] eseven73, depends on how you backed it up.. If you just copied it to USB,.,. then after you install.. copy it back. You may need to fix the permission/ownership of the dir/files [20:31] LjL: reset the permissions to what exactly? [20:31] gaintsura: the setting in linux is at /etc/resolv.conf [20:32] eseven73: well, i meant the ownership actually, more than the permissions - to make it match the new installation's user [20:32] eseven73, to your user as the owner with 755 permissions [20:32] ok ty guys [20:32] afancy: why what? is usbfs listed in the output when you run "mount"?

[20:48] good evening [20:48] i don't know [20:48] slart, so it should be tail -n 500 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit [20:48] ? [20:48] I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a Laptop with an ATI VGA Chip. [20:48] omars: correct.. it will paste the last 500 lines of your system log to a pastebin and give you the url [20:48] istvan_: Read the commands output, there is most likely an error there.

Am I paranoid or do my root pass keep changing? I had a linux pro to reset my pass (forgot the old one I thought at first) but now my new pass isnt right too.. two days ago... so Im sure then I havent forgotten the pass(well kinda sure) [20:49] However when I play a video (e.g. mplayer or visualisation in totem) the screen flickers... [20:49] Slart, http://pastebin.com/f2e60eae3 [20:49] also.. if I just forgot the pass.. is there a way to reset it easy? without formating? [20:49] Any Idea what could cause this? (bwt: i use the accelerated propietary driver) [20:49] anyone from sweden here? [20:49] nomike: Try running it as "mplayer -vo x11 " and see if it fixes the problem. [20:50] Slart, maybe it can help to tell you that i use eclipse regularly.. [20:50] nomike: Are you running compiz? [20:50] GaMbi_DK: we dont have a root passoword usually, we use sudo [20:50] !ping [20:50] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [20:50] zsquareplusc, thats the one :P [20:50] the pass for sudo [20:50] Windstone: there is a swedish channel somewhere.. #ubuntu-se or something [20:50] !swedish [20:50] GaMbi_DK: with sudo you use your own password [20:50] Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [20:50] zsquareplusc: Hi, it still doesnot work http://paste.ubuntu.com/82645/ [20:50] arrenlex: I checked, it seems as though ffmpeg doesn't think that there are any frames... [20:50] zsquareplusc, yea.. and it is this pass iw forgot [20:51] istvan_: Is there an error? [20:51] GaMbi_DK: reboot to recovery mode and use "passwd " in the root shell you get then [20:51] arrenlex: nope. i'll post some of the output.

[20:53] zsquareplusc, what do I do then? :S [20:53] zsquareplusc: do u have any idea? thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/82645/ [20:54] istvan_: Pastebin that and share the link, please. [20:54] arrenlex: here is my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/82647/ [20:55] afancy: that looks fine. i'm running out of ideas :/ the usbfs line works here. and of course enabling USB support in the virtual machine settings [20:55] omars: eclipse has it's share of problems.. none of them should bring the ubuntu box down with it though.. [20:55] GaMbi_DK: you have a root shell on that box where you dont know the password? [20:55] show all [20:56] istvan_: There is a suspicious lack of mention of units for the -fs switch on the ffmpeg manpage. Out of curiosity, what happens if you tack another two zeros onto that number? [20:56] GaMbi_DK: passwd prints a message, but it should not output anything cryptic [20:56] zsquareplusc, no.. just remember from early tries.. [20:57] arrenlex: then i get a 117kb file... which is good, but still not what i asked for... [20:57] zsquareplusc, so go to "recovery mode" and do "passwd [user]" and what should happen? it should print my pass? :O [20:57] zsquareplusc: in the vm settings is anything that i need to set? [20:57] arrenlex: 117.6 actually [20:57] GaMbi_DK: no, ask you for a new one. [20:58] istvan_: That was with 10000? [20:58] Slart, btw the performance if very poor, i used hardy and it was much better [20:58] arrenlex: it was 10000 [20:58] guys i'm kinda concerened [20:58] afancy: i only needed to enable "usb", nothing special. [20:58] connecting to localhost at port 80 [20:58] gives me "it works!" in big letters [20:59] zsquareplusc, got it.. I see where I did my mistake.. thx allot m8 [20:59] netsurf3: you have installed a web server [20:59] istvan_: Does it take suffixes? Try -fs 100K [20:59] how do i install thunderbird? [20:59] istvan_: Actually, try ki instead of K [20:59] omars: have you tried switching java runtimes? [20:59] arrenlex: nope, gives me a 0k file again [21:00] abouche1 sudo apt-get thunderbird [21:00] abouche1: sudo apt-get install thunderbird.. or just use Add/Remove [21:00] zsquareplusc, ahh i did install php a while ago for a forensics toolkit but didnt think that came with it... [21:00] istvan_: this is with both K and ki?

[21:07] GaMbi_DK: you could remove or password protect the recovery point. however then you might need a live cd to do recovery which is more complex. and with a live cd, you can get at the passwords anyway [21:08] is kdm slower than gnome ? [21:08] There was a way to run program in a specific location. something like "command --option=localname" What would be "option"? I used it for checking GIMP translation.. I guess it works with other programs.

[21:08] is more lighty gnome than kde [21:09] digitalfallacy: If you mean kde, then no, it is not. I have used both and have found both to be very snappy.

[21:48] that was it. [21:48] Bryan: np [21:49] JFC1993: maxima ;-) [21:49] zsquareplusc: If I already have a bootable usb drive, can I just download something that'll auto save to it? Or do I have to recreate the whole usb drive? [21:49] Setebos⡶ Rightclick a html file and choose preferences [21:50] pswii60: one of the methods involve that you make a partition for the persistent things -> gparted. but maybe you can also make a file and edit the settings in isolinux.cfg. i've not done it myself. [21:50] hateball: Okay, I got it. Thanks [21:51] Anybody know what to edit? [21:51] Does anybody know what may be wrong if grub reads the hd fine, but the ubuntu alternate installer cannot read the hd at all? [21:51] pswii60:edit what [21:51] ur [21:51] why would my X server crash when i attempt to use Ion but have no problem with GNOME? [21:51] hey, why do i have to be root to bind to port 40? [21:51] Is there anyway to run kernel 2.6.25+ on 8.04? [21:51] my wireless driver is not loading during boot [21:51] how do i change the default timeout of sudo from its 15 mins to something like 1 hour? [21:52] hackwins, isolinux.cfg so it can save automatically everything that I download/change. [21:52] digital: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html [21:52] I can't burn cd's for some reason... when I try to burn with gnomebaker I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/82658/ [21:52] Is there anyway to run kernel 2.6.25+ on 8.04 without compiling a custom kernel? Or are you stuck with 2.6.24? (Sorry, should have been specific the first time). [21:52] need help with mkudffs and DVD-RAM to format it to full capacity [21:52] DrHalan: yes, because the port is < 1000 [21:53] Balau, so does apache run as root too? [21:53] eseven73, its mentioned in the sudoers man pages I belive.. and at many google sites on 'sudo security timeout settings' I forget the exact setting [21:53] Can someone tell me how to hide the Lock screen and switch usser option [21:53] pswii60: it looks like the common method is: move partitions with gparted and make a ext3 partition on the free space and label that partition "casper-rw". the cd contents can be left on a 750MB fat partition [21:53] thx dr_willis [21:54] hackwins: none of those seem to describe my problem.. and i;m running 7.10 [21:54] DrHalan I can't check but I suppose that it runs as root, not sure if you can do otherwise [21:55] zsquareplusc, does it matter fat32 or 16? [21:55] sorry im confused whit other user [21:55] pswii60: i dont think so. unless fat16 cant format 750MB. but if you already have the stick, just shrink the current partition [21:55] what chapter in the handbook talks about managing modules at boot time ? === aib_ is now known as aib === elementz_ is now known as elementz [21:56] Balau, thing is i am writing my own little web frontend but i would like the app not to run as root. do you know if there is maybe a way to make port 40 a "speical case"? === Mingebag is now known as MetalliMyers [21:56] DrHalan: most servers are *started* as root, bind to their port and then give up the privileges [21:57] EEE [21:57] hai U guise [21:57] zsquareplusc, could you check your pm for a min please? [21:57] I'm here and ready tbh [21:57] pswii60: i don't use xchat ;-) [21:57] What do you use? [21:58] chatzilla [21:58] oh [21:58] <_cb> I want to do a fresh install of 8.1 on top of 8.04 but keep all my data and settings.

[21:58] DrHalan: why must it be port 40 anyway? [21:58] guntbert: cause that is the http port isn't it? [21:58] _cb: backup /etc too for system wide settings. user settings are in your home [21:58] MetalliMyers What was the purpose of that link? [21:59] pswii60: i don't know, just use what suits best for you. [21:59] that was really wierd.. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf crashed X. does that even make sense? gedit usually works... [21:59] isn't the command sudo apt-get install chatzilla? [22:00] <_cb> zsquareplusc, Are /etc and home the only 2 folders I need to be concerned with? [22:00] d1gital running a gui ap under sudo is a very very bad idea. [22:00] pswii60: its a firefox extension. but there is also a version in the repos afaik. you can search with "apt-cache search" [22:00] jack_sparrow why? [22:00] DrHalan: no, http is on 80 as standard, but you can point your browser to any port you want as in http://my.server.pvt:1400, which would use port 1400 [22:00] d1gital If you have made a habit of that in the past, it could be a source of problems [22:00] !gksudo [22:00] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:00] hello [22:00] jokkaa, most file managers have a hide/show hidden files setting. they are not really hidden.. they are just 'not shown' by specific apps as a common way to clean things up [22:00] Does anyone here know how to get my ipod nano 4g to work with rhythmbox?

[22:01] DrHalan: you're welcome :) [22:01] Yeah I'm using xchat now [22:02] I'm just not seeing where to input bnc info lol [22:02] _cb: hm.. /var also contains "changing" information. such as /var/www and some apps may have some data there. but maybe you can live without copying that one when you do a fresh setup as you described above [22:02] i have removed network manager from ubuntu8.10. now there is problem in shut down wat to do [22:02] russell__, vista has its own tools to resiz vista partitions.. but you may need to use gparted to expand the linux partition.

Now I just need to work up the nerve ;) [22:02] i have a few games like trackballs and extreme tux racer that when they go to full screen .. i cant see it and i get a out of range or input error depending on LCD type ... is there a way to get them to switch to winodwed mode ? [22:02] saurabh Please STOP repeating [22:02] dr_willis, thx. realy made it for me [22:02] srry [22:03] perhaps reinstall the tool.. or tell the channel why you removed it..and try to fix the original problem [22:03] I would really like to save my settings/programs so there on my usb drive everytime I disconnect it [22:03] Shadowwulf, do you use ati?

[22:03] pswii60, theres ways to make a persistant usb live-cd type thing. :) in 8.10 [22:04] try disabling compiz before playing a game. [22:04] See if that helps. [22:04] guntbert, if i buy an url somewhere i can also just set it to forward to that port i guess? [22:04] Yeah, I'm using a bootable usb drive now [22:04] just nothing saves [22:04] nuit!! [22:04] nimbus, how would i do that ? [22:05] Get "compiz fusion icon" from add programs menu [22:05] that is the easiest way [22:05] DrHalan: you cannot buy urls, tell me what you are trying to accomplish [22:05] then start it. it is under your applications> system tool [22:05] <|_steve_|> I would like to do webcam with my family.

I'll dist-upgrade to hardy first [22:06] |_steve_| THen you need to read more carefully [22:06] this server actually had feisty last night, so I want to bring it all the way to Intrpid [22:07] shadowwulf, did you turn off compiz and switch to metacity? [22:07] nimbus, i did [22:07] <|_steve_|> I will try [22:07] not sure then [22:07] eigma: if its a server you dont want to upgrade every 6 months, stay at hardy and jump from LTS to LTS next time [22:08] bugzilla, where does it keep mailing logs when smtp_debug is enabled? [22:08] zsquareplusc: cool, thakns for the tip [22:08] nimbus, is there a way to make the game go to a windowed mode ? [22:08] so these problems only occur in windowed mode? [22:09] why isn't there a preference tool for managing boot modules ? [22:09] DrHalan: not sure if I understand your needs: you can have your web-server listen on any port, and of course you can put a link with that port in the url into any web-page, but (as an aside) you should learn a little about networking and security before writing your own server [22:09] nimbus, the problem happens in full screen mode ,... if the game starts windowed ... everything is fine [22:10] shadowwulf, sounds like an issue with the refresh rate. [22:10] guntbert, what exactly do you think is important to learn ? [22:11] methods there is, the modules file and the modules blacklist. otherwise initrams [22:11] nimbus, know of a way to fix it ? or a hotkey to make a game go windowed mode ? [22:11] why would a 32 bit library crash in a 64 bit os env.? [22:11] !chroot [22:11] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [22:12] koshar1: yea but this is needed for a non command based user.... and where is this information in the handbook ? === harry is now known as Guest73448 [22:12] DrHalan: not one thing exactly, only "a little server" in the big bad world of hackers,rootkits,spambots,... seems a bit scary :) [22:12] how do I limit the amount of operation choices on the startup screen??? I have 8 for ubuntu === sean is now known as Guest56469 [22:12] Guest73448, You mean the GRUB boot menu? [22:13] Guest73448 gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:13] yes and thx [22:13] rather sounds like too many old kernels [22:13] ok what IRC channel might help me sort through running 32 bit binaries in a 64 bit OS? [22:13] I am not sure, shadowwulf. I am not sure I understand the problem but I would next try to look at the monitor settings (resolution, refresh) [22:13] Guest73448, menu.lst has an option for the # of kernels to show.. You can set it to some # like 2 or 3, and rerun 'sudo update-grub' [22:13] Guest73448 you could apt-get remove old linux images [22:13] <_cb> i am going to do a fresh install of Ibex on top of Heron.

I recently moved and have a really terrible internet connection... I run Ubuntu (of course) an am in desparate need of some sort of solo games to play on my pc when I need to decompress. can anyone make any suggestions? Please, no COD4 and such. as my system just isn't good enough/ [22:14] methods man modules is the information, [22:14] _cb, how are you doing a 'fresh install' 'on top of' ? - why not just do a clean install? [22:14] !games > Akiva [22:14] Akiva, please see my private message [22:14] _cb: "cp -ax" makes archive copies, recursive, but it wont cross mount points [22:15] I am well open to various styles of games, but like I said, it must be able to be played offline [22:15] what is the folder that the mouse pointers are stored in? [22:15] Akiva I like sauerbratten and frozen bubble etc [22:15] Akiva, freecol, and wesnoth are worth playing also. :) [22:15] <_cb> dr_willis I meant a clean install. I am going to delete all the Heron partitions, install Ibex and copy /home /etc back [22:15] ubottu: Sorry, let me clarify, I don't need them to be open source, etc. not your typical games roundup on an Ubuntu thread... It can require WINe and a purchase [22:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:16] * Akiva was duped by ubutto [22:16] all hail technoviking [22:16] Akiva, i can also get most of the PopCap type casual games to wortk with wine also [22:16] Akiva See the link I gave .. asking what games are good is not a real support issue [22:16] _cb: when your partitioning, conside putting home on a separate partition. one thing less to care about next time (wont save you from backupping though) [22:16] hail nimbus [22:16] Technoviking nimbus OT [22:17] anyone know where the mouse pointers are kept? what folder they reside in? [22:17] guntbert: but what do you mean i can't buy URLs? [22:17] DrHalan But a universal Resource locator? [22:17] buy [22:17] it looks like Intrepid now allows number pad keys to repeat in "mouse keys" mode, which basically makes mouse keys useless [22:17] <_cb> Currently I have home on a separate partition. Will Ibex discover it? [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I will check it, but most of these games leave a lot to be desired. [22:18] Wesnoth is fun for a bit but horrible incomplete [22:18] !ot > Akiva [22:18] Akiva, please see my private message [22:18] <_cb> zsquareplusc, Currently I have home on a separate partition. Will Ibex discover it? [22:18] * zsquareplusc has made a gpxe boot that runs the network install of ubuntu with just 200kB. but where would i put that online now.. [22:18] when you hold an arrow key down and it starts to repeat, mouse keys interprets it as rapid keypresses, making the cursor move *super* *slow* [22:18] Thakns all [22:18] _cb You will probably need to point ibex to it [22:18] DrHalan: what you *can* buy is a domain name, though [22:18] bug [22:18] _cb: you can tell it to use in the installer.

[22:19] jokkaa: try 'eog filename.jpg' [22:19] jokkaa: or 'gimp filename.jpg' [22:20] jokkaa: text console only or within X [22:20] jokkaa: "gnome-open filename" works wonders on many types of file [22:20] jokkaa Do you have gui or just cli [22:20] thx worked === elektrikz is now known as Elektrikz [22:21] hi [22:21] Texou, hi?

[22:44] gnutron: but is bluefish wusiwyg [22:44] samile: its not able to find that package in the repos...

[22:49] Rolaulten: script used perl(from the output) problem was with gnome(Can't locate Gnome2/GConf.pm) so a quick apt search found it. glad to help. [22:49] ogre: keep in mind, if you use macros it's a whole different ballgames in Open Office. Never tried them in gnumeric. VB isn't used..

[23:10] thunderbird works flawless for me [23:11] loquitus_of_borg: start it from console and paste the output [23:11] loquitus_of_borg: to pastebin [23:12] loquitus: Mine works just fine.

Even in windows [23:15] So my sound playback on Hardy with Ali 5451 card is fine, but whne I try the RT kernel sound playback is horribly slow and distorted. Any ideas? [23:15] could this be a coincidence? [23:15] dr_willis: That's exactly the command I used. I got this as a response: FATAL: Module ath5k not found. [23:15] NotADJ: you have set no password? or why should it allow to log in without. [23:15] loquitis_of_Borg how did you install thunderbird [23:15] !conky [23:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [23:15] dsnaike: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [23:15] whitehawk, i would think so.. check your fans , dust out the thing.. look for lint... (seen that happen befor) [23:15] lint? [23:15] sshirley: i had to install linux-backports-modules to get that driver [23:16] sshirley, and uname -a shows you are using the 2.6.27-9 kernel? [23:16] zsquareplusc: That's exactly what I did too. :-) [23:16] what's a good email client because evolution and tbird can't never separate my accounts? [23:16] dr_willis: Linux zion 2.6.27-9-server #1 SMP [23:16] Uninstall try sudo aptitude will handle dependancies much better [23:17] chairman: i haev separate accounts with thunderbird. doesnt it work for you? [23:17] zsquareplusc: sudo too! [23:17] zsquareplusc: And no, it is not set to aut-login [23:17] sshirley, it LOOKS like you may have 2 different kernels and are booted to the other one.. 2.6.27-9-server vs 2.6.27-9-generic [23:17] chairman: TB is pretty cool; it can read almost all the webmail accounts too. [23:17] anyone experience flickering video with compviz effects on with an ati card? [23:18] i only get dial up conection with wvdial, but with sudo, i want an icon to activate wvdial, how do i do it ? [23:18] nimbus: Only in fullscreen aps. [23:18] nimbus: Yes. [23:18] I get it when playing a movie, full screen or no [23:18] mano: gksu [23:18] dr_willis: yeah. Looks like it. Hmmm. How can I copy the driver from the generic branch to the server branch? [23:18] NotADJ: then set yourself a password in system->admin->users [23:18] is there anything to be done about that aside from turning off compiz? [23:18] dsnaike: please restate that... I did not understand [23:18] zsquareplusc: I have a password, I was messing with Kerberos PAM, and passwords became no longer necessary... [23:18] nimbus: I use VLC and go to Tools and set the vid. output to X11. [23:19] But I uninstalled Kerberos [23:19] sshirley, no idea.. You may want to update grub, and see what kernels are avail. Normally you dont just 'copy' modules from one kernel to another.. its possible the server kernel did not incluide that module [23:19] after i installed compiz fusion my computer starts in safe graphics mode? [23:19] but i got 3 gmail accounts and i get emails to my default one which is gmail too [23:19] I just tried that tinyowan. it still flickered [23:19] nimbus: Which ATI card do you have? [23:19] 4650 [23:19] NotADJ: ok, you you chaged pam config files, so that the final action if no auth method works is login instead of fail [23:19] is "nautilus ." the accepted way to pop open a file browser in the current dir? [23:20] wait - it is not flickering now [23:20] uninstall current thunderbird restart xserver reinstall thunderbird with sudo aptitude install thunderbird [23:20] sproingie, thats one way. [23:20] nimbus: I'm running an ATI X1400, and it's working fine. [23:20] chairman: have utilized filters [23:20] hi guys. I have a problem. I need to get some files from my labtop which is behind a firewall where i work. I can make an ssh connection to the server at work and from there another to my labtop, but i can't figure out how to copy files all the way through both connections. Does anyone know how? [23:20] hummesse: use scp [23:20] hummesse, scp is our friend :) [23:21] would that not copy the files to the server at work? [23:21] dsnaike: what is the difference between aptitude and apt-get ? [23:21] hummesse: or sftp:// in nautilus [23:21] zsquareplusc: How do I fix... [23:21] can anyone recommend a highly compatible VNC server if I absolutely must use VNC? I'm trying to VNC onto a linux machine from an iPhone using some crappy client [23:21] chairman: have you tried utilizing filters to place emails in folders [23:21] I dont think it is that simple zsquareplusc. Please read the question again [23:22] NotADJ: fix the pam config. compare the files with a working machine or backups. alternatively reinstall the package that provides the files [23:22] ok how u do tht. i see them but i ignore them [23:22] zsquareplusc: I didn't modify any files, I guess apt did... [23:22] NemesisD, i tend to use vnc4server for linux, and ultravnc for windows [23:22] aptitude handles dependacies much better than apt-get [23:22] hummesse: sftp uses ssh connection, you just need to enable the sftp module in your ssh server. it is by default [23:23] dr_willis, thanks, I'll see if I can get that to work [23:23] chairman: saw your issue late but you want mail to email accounts separted right? [23:23] aptitide however does not have super-cow powers === sean is now known as Guest33548 [23:23] aptitude even [23:23] NemesisD, vnc4server however defaults to usint twm. You have to correct the .vnc/xstartup to make it run somting useable [23:23] dsnaike: ah ok [23:23] ciao [23:23] NemesisD: there are vncserver vnc4server tightvncserver x11vnc vino .. one of them should work [23:24] right [23:24] but the problem is that it is really two connections. One from home to the server and one from the server to the labtop. so if i sftp://server i dont get the labtop. If i sftp://local_labtop_ip i also dont get the labtop [23:24] vino sure as hell doesn't :/ [23:24] How would I go about exiting a VBoxGTK crash without having to do a hard reboot? [23:24] I use the default 'share desktop' feature under gnome. and it works rather well for me [23:25] sproingie: nope no moo but it has other animals (hint: moo -v, -vv, ..) [23:25] chairman: create folders you already have inbox create folders with names you want [23:26] Why ubuntu update-manager show me an older image and header if i have the newest one? [23:27] chairman: right click on "on this computer" name folder [23:28] Hey I just burned the 8.10 64 bit version to a CD and than put it in to see if it worked. [23:28] ? [23:28] There is an option named [23:28] Install within windows [23:28] so its possible to install linux when I am in windows? [23:28] what's the best way to go about removing ubuntu and reinstalling it, just save my home directory and delete anything i don't want restored? [23:28] MonthOLDpickle: it will install linux in a file on your windows partition$ [23:28] !clone | bdelin88 [23:28] bdelin88: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:29] what does the /usr folder need for permissions. I accidentally changed its perms. to 777 and im going to restart as root but i wanted to know what it needs to be chmodded to first. [23:29] MonthOLDpickle, the Wubi tool lets you install linux to a 'file' on the windows drive.. but i dont reccomend it. [23:29] bdelin88, reformat the / [23:29] Is there any list of scanners that are fully compatible [23:29] okay just making sure [23:29] *with ubuntu [23:29] !sane | GodfatherofEire [23:29] I was amazed..not anymore [23:29] GodfatherofEire: Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

[23:30] is there a way to ifup a bridge without any children? [23:30] bdelin88, but I think what you were asking about can be simply done by plugging in a thumb drive and copying your home dir onto it [23:30] thanks n8tuser [23:30] hatter243: lol yea... i am sure he did but... yea [23:30] in /etc/network/interfaces, bridge_ports cannot be omitted or left empty [23:30] GodfatherofEire, cant say that ive ever noticed many 'drivers' for scanners under linux. :) all the scanners ive tried have worked from the start - worked better then they do in windows [23:30] hatter243: yea i think i just want to save a few things like themes and awn settings, icons, etc [23:31] Please someone say YES is you can read this [23:31] for example if i copy the .avant folder it should save my settings right? [23:31] YES [23:31] bdelin88, unless you've done something nutty, those should all be in .files in your homedirectory [23:31] dr_willis thanks for the that [23:31] *the help [23:31] bdelin88, yes [23:31] Is there a UMPC image for Xubuntu like there is for Ubuntu (as of 8.10)? It's like a live CD, except persistent and on a USB drive. Not sure if you still have to change the BIOS settings or not though. [23:31] whoever suggested APTonCD, i love you in a non gay way [23:32] Twile, You can make such a thing with the tools in 8.10, unetbootin can also make such an image.. but i dont think that tool makes it persistant (yet) [23:32] bdelin88: lol. thx [23:33] dr_willis: thank you [23:33] fluxy: heh, btw, this apton thing it installs just packages and things like that, but not drivers, so i truly could install the same packages on multiple (different hardware based) systems right? [23:33] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/ [23:34] bdelin88: you can select which packages you want, it can even create a meta-package for you [23:34] fluxy: O-M-G [23:34] fluxy: my life is simple now [23:35] !bitlbee [23:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee [23:35] fluxy: although... i don't know what a "meta" package is [23:35] Anyone here use Bitlbee?????/??????????? [23:35] what is a good light html viewer for use from the command line? [23:35] zsquareplusc: I didn't modify any files, I guess apt did... Any idea? [23:35] im trying to setup motion, but i have two cameras so i have motion.conf thread0.conf and thread1.conf, but im unsure how thread0.conf is suppose to look to make it point to /dev/video0 same with thread1 to make it point to /dev/video1. how how to configure motion to run both at the same time? [23:35] NotADJ: nope [23:35] skylarS, w3m, lynx, may be others. [23:36] bdelin88: sometimes copying the .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives from the old system to the new one may work, aptoncd is a safer method [23:36] !ubottu [23:36] 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 [23:36] fluxy: i agree [23:36] Are there any math geniuses here? [23:37] bdelin88: a metapackage is a package which does not have any software in itself. it makes the installation of a set of other packages easy by having them as dependencies. [23:37] dr_willis, nice, thanks w3m is pretty neat [23:37] fluxy: i see, i think... [23:38] bdelin88: suppose you want to install packages x,y,z,a,b,c,d,g...etc instead of each time selecting all that, you create a metapackage called alphabet. alphabet does not contain any software, but when u install it, it lists x,y,z,a,b,c...etc as dependency hence all that get installed [23:38] I have network-manager-pptp installed, using Hardy, and nm-applet doesn't give me an option to modify VPN connections. I've restarted DBus and the applet and even X [23:38] fluxy: sounds convenient [23:38] What can I do to get it to list it? [23:38] anyone know is there a prebuild radius server distribution at all? [23:39] also I am going to be pre-formatting the HD [23:39] should it be in fat32 or what? [23:39] skylarS, some of those have graphical features if you are using a framebuffer console [23:40] root partition boots to kernel panic after upgrade. Any way to rebuild the boot image on a partition? [23:40] dr_willis, will I am using the gnome terminal default and I do have some mouse capabilities at least :) I don't know what you can tell from that. [23:41] NET||abuse: freeradius is an ubuntu package which comes with safe defaults. You also might want to ask in #ubuntu-server [23:41] skylarS, you are not using the framebuffer then. [23:41] Opera Acid Test3 100% :-) [23:42] !clone [23:42] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate === JFC1993 is now known as please === please is now known as pleaseUnbanMe [23:43] i guess i can also backup my windows xp VM as well [23:43] Anyone know why Blender doesn't open in non-fullscreen even when I select the windowed option in the menu? [23:44] <|Zippo|> hi, where can I find a tutorial to install XEN virtualization on intrepid???? [23:44] porter1: it does the same for me as well [23:44] !xen [23:44] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [23:44] bdelin88: generally, the best thing to do, is to have atleast 3 partitions, one for swap, one for / and one for data [23:45] bdelin88: the one for data needs not be formatted in case of new install or upgrade, and can be mounted at /home [23:45] fluxy: already done, i think i have swap, ext3, "Media", "Software" and a windows partition, lol [23:45] bdelin88: makes life easier [23:45] fluxy: but i don't feel like setting up a dedicated home [23:45] ution what is a free email service i can use with it? [23:45] is there a way to ifup a bridge without any children? [23:45] in /etc/network/interfaces, bridge_ports cannot be omitted or left empty [23:46] * i am setting up evolution what is a free email service i can use with it? [23:46] If i have the image and headers of 2.6.27.9 why i have to install the 2.6.27.7 ones ? === pleaseUnbanMe is now known as JFC1993 [23:46] fluxy: btw, is there anything you could think of that would convert my windows playlist files (windows-based directory structure) into playlists that amarok could understand the directory for? [23:46] ктонибуть есть. [23:46] ? [23:46] bdelin88: Neither do I. I mounted my data partition inside /home/. Incidentally I also use it as My Documents on Windows XP (I dual boot for games). This way no matter how many reformats, my data is always intact [23:47] Русские есть. [23:47] ????

[23:47] fluxy: you mounted your data directory (NTFS i assume) to your home and store your stuff there you say? [23:47] fluxy: i will have to look into that after finals [23:48] bdelin88: if you save the playlist with relative paths, many linux programs can read it too [23:48] bdelin88: I meant /home//Dokz and Dokz is a fat32 partition, quite big, holds all my data [23:48] bdelin88: zsquareplusc is right, else if you know python programming a little script might help... [23:48] * zsquareplusc lost confidence in fat. i want fsck.ext3 for my data [23:48] MonthOLDpickle: preformat for what? [23:49] Кто русский знает напишите плиз =) [23:49] fluxy: i see, well i assume that even though people say NTFS is sketchy in linux, i could mount it to home right?

[23:49] вопросик имеется [23:49] !ru | lester__ [23:49] After installing network-manager-pptp, restarting X, and restarting dbus, my nm-applet only lists "Manual configuration" as an option, nothing about VPN.

[23:49] lester__: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:49] besides devde what app is good for converting a avi to a mpeg ? [23:49] zsquareplusc: no i don't know python, but i was maybe considering getting into it, don't know if there's like a beginners IRC out there or some team eager to teach a little :) [23:49] macjason0607: ffmpeg, mencoder [23:49] does warhammer online work on ubuntu [23:49] hard drive is formatted as NTFS with some old info thats not needed. Gonna format first to get rido fall data [23:50] Hi there, where does ubuntu keep its "secure" logs? cant seem to find them in /var/log where the other log files are [23:50] was wondering what to format it as before the installation [23:50] fluxy: eh, one more thing, i know i ask a lot, but i think the "primary" and "logical" feature has been taken out of ubuntu partition manager, what is the deal with that? [23:50] phoenixz: what are the secure logs? [23:50] bdelin88: while it wasnt be to suggest python, i can double that sugegstion. python.org has tutorials, there is a mailinglist and #python here [23:50] s/be/me/ [23:50] zsquareplusc: nice :) thanks [23:51] actually [23:51] anyoNe [23:51] LjL: The logs where user access is registered, access denied, etc.. [23:51] zsquareplusc, i want to convert it to a iso then burn it to a dvd [23:51] does imgburn work well on linux? [23:51] phoenixz: that would be /var/log/auth.log [23:51] zsquareplusc: do you know if winamp has the capability to save relative paths to playlists or if there is an easy conversion? [23:51] LjL: ah, thanks! [23:51] macjason0607: i used ffmpeg -f dvd and then devede (set it to use files as is) [23:51] hello [23:52] bdelin88: i think winamp had that [23:52] bdelin88: last time i tried, gparted worked well for me... [23:52] does warhammer online work on linux [23:52] zsquareplusc, so you decode the movie first and then use devde to burn ? [23:52] fluxy: well i am not saying it worked well, but i do not see the options anymore for logical or extended partitions === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [23:53] ty setting up gmail account [23:53] macjason0607: decode? you need to convert it to a mpeg devede failed with my files, so i used ffmpeg for that step [23:53] oh ok [23:54] I have a cpu 1.8ghz then i change the bios and change the clock something from 200hz to 250hz and know my cpu is 2.95ghz , its smell like something is burning [23:54] After installing network-manager-pptp, restarting X, and restarting dbus, my nm-applet only lists "Manual configuration" as an option, nothing about VPN. Any ideas how to solve that? [23:54] ffmpeg -f dvd < -- zsquareplusc so this is the command [23:54] does gnome-terminal support logging? If not can somone recomend a term that does? [23:54] cvd-pr: your CPU is probably getting hot and the dust on it is smelling... [23:55] macjason0607: uhh.. [23:55] ***now the question of all questions, since i am reinstalling, should i go with 64 BIT UBUNTU or 32 BIT? I would say I am an advanced windows user and intermediate to beginner at ubuntu (no programming except CSS and HTML junk), and also is the firefox 64 with 32 bit flash wraparound stable enough... whew!!!! [23:55] zloog: run script filename before you start working and it will log all your commands to a file. [23:55] macjason0607: -target dvd [23:55] bdelin88: I am not sure about gparted, i am not in a position to check that right now [23:55] bdelin88, if you have more than 4gb go with 64 [23:55] Hi there [23:55] bdelin88, ive had no issues with 64bit Ubuntu :) been testing it with 8.10 - worked very well [23:56] cvd-pr: wonderful, i have 4gb exactly :) [23:56] Pici: I'm trying to learn nntp and I want to log an interactive telnet session [23:56] dr_willis: thanks :) [23:56] but i think that now you can use more than 4gb in a 32bit distro [23:56] bdelin88: Same here no problems, even flash works great, except that sun java plugin for mozilla isnt available for 64bit [23:56] im i right? [23:56] bdelin88: there seems to be a 64 bit beta flash now. and for 4GB ram, 64 bits is better. but for proprietary software, 32 bit is easier. you can also do !chroot though [23:56] fluxy: is there a problem with java or does it still work? [23:57] Adobe released a 64-bit native flash player for linux a while ago - does anyone know if this has hit the ubuntu repositories yet? [23:57] with pae kernel you can use more than 4gb in a 32bit distro [23:57] oakmac: that's good news [23:57] bdelin88: other implementations are available - icedtea - except that icedtea doesnt support advanced features, its only around 95% compatible [23:57] After installing network-manager-pptp, restarting X, and restarting dbus, my nm-applet only lists "Manual configuration" as an option, nothing about VPN. Any ideas how to solve that? [23:58] bdelin88: if u want, for e.g., to run runescape, it wont work with icedtea [23:58] fluxy: ok so currently java would not work in the browser [23:58] fluxy: sun java that is [23:58] bdelin88: it works, but not the official java runtime [23:58] bdelin88: icedtea works [23:58] Hello [23:58] bdelin88: simply install a !chroot with firefox so you have access to the 32 bit stuff easily :-) [23:58] ubuntu has the pae-kernel like openSuse? [23:58] zsquareplusc: like sun java? :) [23:58] flakeparadigm: Hi [23:59] !chroot | bdelin88 [23:59] bdelin88: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [23:59] I need some virtual machine software that supports 3d graphics acceleration. [23:59] flakeparadigm: for gaming? [23:59] bdelin88: it is like a 32 bit minimal install within your normal setup. [23:59] is there a way to ifup a bridge without any children? [23:59] cvd-pr: No pae kernel by defalt on 32 bit. The server kernel is pae enabled though. [23:59] in /etc/network/interfaces, bridge_ports cannot be omitted or left empty [23:59] Is there a simple video editor available for ubuntu besides kino?
