[00:00] MrCollins: avidemux [00:00] fluxy: no I'm trying to use windows vista with a 3d desktop interface (BumpTop) [00:00] cvd-pr: And of course the 64 bit kernels by default [00:00] zsquareplusc: you're not talking about the 32 bit emulation that windows does automatically are you? [00:00] zsquareplusc, thanks [00:00] !avidemux [00:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about avidemux [00:00] 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? [00:00] MrCollins: think cinerella(sp?) is in the repos [00:00] bdelin88: no. you can also run some 32 app directly on ubuntu, when installing ia32-libs. e.g. google earth [00:01] genii, opensuse 11 has pae in 32bit [00:01] MrCollins: Does it have a simple interface, à la Windows Movie Maker? [00:01] kitche: its not, and "simple"? ;-) [00:01] fluxy yes [00:01] zsquareplusc: hey I find it simple :) [00:01] why ubuntu not? [00:01] kitche, it wont let me install what would be the apt-get command for cinerella? [00:01] cvd-pr: So does *buntu, but as I described, it is the server kernel in 32 bit which has pae extensions [00:01] hi will ubuntu work when I host it on my linux-server and let a thin client network boot it and mount it over NFS ? [00:01] flakeparadigm: I dont think vm's work well with graphical acceleration, you dont have access directly to the hardware....blabla [00:01] zsquareplusc: lol, oh boy... it sounds like a lot of work if i don't have the command line experience... i guess what i am asking is am i going to be able to run this pretty close to how simple i was running 32 bit? [00:02] MrCollins: Hmm...Interesting. Thanks I might look into that myself. [00:02] genii, so how i get pae in desktop edition? [00:02] fluxy: yeah. I just hat the thought of dual booting though. [00:02] zsquareplusc: or do i need to do !chroot for almost every 32 bit install [00:02] like openSuse [00:02] MrCollins: probably have to grab it off it's site [00:02] zsquareplusc: yes i am being a little b*tch about asking questions [00:02] flakeparadigm: so do I, but I have to, for the games... [00:02] cvd-pr: Install kernel version. But be warned if you use restricted drivers which are i386 kernel-specific, that hardware will not work [00:02] flakeparadigm: but in your case, Compiz has nice effects [00:02] kitche, the only thing I dont like about kino is that it does not have a timeline and indicator [00:02] bdelin88: well 98% of the packages are simply installed with apt-get and you will not notive a difference between 32 and 64 bits. for the rest there is a) ia32-libs b) chroot c) virtual machines [00:03] cvd-pr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5347489 [00:03] s/notive/notice [00:03] genii: Check this out: "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5347489" [00:03] fluxy: yeah, but it isn't anywhere near what bumptop is. Its a different type of effects [00:03] genii: I used it to enable PAE on a normal kernel for me :D [00:03] zsquareplusc: alright, so you think i'll manage then? :) [00:04] genii, in openSuse works, so maybe with ubuntu works too... [00:04] in linux can I hot-swap mice without having to reboot? [00:05] cvd-pr: With that guide you can rebuild your kernel with PAE enabled and still use a normal kernel [00:05] cvd-pr: You could try. [00:05] cvd-pr: I used it on my normal desktop :) [00:05] anyone familiar with booting Ubuntu over NFS ? (if it will work) [00:05] dmsuperman, ok thanks [00:05] does redirection work immediately or does it only work after the program is done so foo.pl > bar [00:05] does foo.pl have to finish before you see anything in bar ? [00:06] hello guy [00:06] s === jay is now known as Guest89628 [00:06] i need help with nvidia drivers [00:06] jedoi06: I think you should see the file grow (logging in with another console) [00:06] mcpancakes: if it is usb, yes [00:06] jedi06: It does not. [00:06] im gona send a request to ubuntu so they make it create a packge for me [00:06] :-) [00:06] zsquareplusc: it is, I'll do that, thanks. [00:06] cvd-pr: Heh, doubt that'll happen [00:07] i enable the driver [00:07] then the pc restarts [00:07] mcpancakes: shift+ctrl+numlock starts the keyboard mouse if it doesn't work ;-) [00:07] How do I make ubuntu look for a word in a directory of files. [00:07] and it tells me cant start x server no screens found [00:07] !grep | NotADJ [00:07] NotADJ: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:07] Its me or ubuntu 8.10 feels kinda slow [00:07] ? [00:08] NotADJ: That was way less helpful than I thought. grep -r "word" . [00:08] 8.04 is fast [00:08] anyone? === narfquerk is now known as nerfquark [00:08] Nick_Meister: Are you trying to start COmpiz? I think you have Metacity running [00:08] arrenlex1: Thanks [00:08] its a fresh install of ubuntu T.T [00:08] tried to turn on special effects [00:08] it ruined everything :S [00:09] cvd-pr: depends on your hardware. on my old laptop 8.04 was slowish. on my new pc, 8.10 is flying with CompizFusion! [00:09] every time [00:09] 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? [00:09] its like im cursed or sometheing [00:09] i have 2 video cards and 2 screens [00:09] neither of them are working [00:09] i am kinda shocked how a long file copy has bogged down my system... seems much slower (although cpu only shows at 25%) (4 gb RAM, 3.4ghz CORE 2) [00:09] only a comman line [00:10] fluxy, :-S [00:10] Nick_Meister: I had this same issue and I am trying to remember how I fixed it [00:10] opening a file with a text editor took almost 10 seconds... [00:10] I need to fix my sudo command. everytime I run it i get the error "sudo: must be setuid root". Could this have anything to do with accidentally chmodding the /usr folder to 777? [00:10] O.O [00:10] kiba_urufu: most likely [00:10] kiba_urufu, i think thats a big YES [00:11] a very very big YES. and other things may be broken now as well. :) [00:11] Gah [00:11] recursively chmodded /usr? [00:11] kiba_urufu: lmao, yes, it most likely is. Good job, you basically just made linux into windows :( [00:11] junglist313, is there a tutorial on this somewhere? [00:11] Nick_Meister: download newest nvidia driver. put it in your home folder. then from command line try: sudo ./NVIDIA(whatever the driver is) [00:11] cvd-pr: if you have enough RAM *sigh*, it should be fast (with a good gfx card, CompizFusion will work as well else, metacity is ok too) [00:11] yeah, i thought so. I tried to change it back to the original drwxr-xr-x root root but it didnt fix it. By how it sounds, its not fixable? [00:11] Nick_Meister: I found it on the forums [00:12] firfox is typing backwards [00:12] what is going on [00:12] firefox that is [00:12] lol its been possessed by the devil [00:12] XD [00:12] how do i switch it so i can type normal [00:12] kiba_urufu: You can try chmod +s /usr/bin/sudo [00:12] danielbw: LoL [00:12] kiba_urufu: Although I don't know how you can do that without being root, which you cannot do without using sudo. [00:13] danielbw: right click the text box, is there something about input methods? [00:13] fluxy, it's rather funny, I know [00:13] kiba_urufu: It may or may not fix sudo, but you may still have messed up a bunch of other things [00:13] hi [00:13] fluxy, amd xp 1.8ghz, 512 ddr 400hz ram, geforce 4mx 32mb :-S [00:13] arrenlex1: perhaps at grub screen booting as root? [00:13] fluxy: Ah, right, I forgot about that. That would work, thank you. [00:13] Is there some kind of minimal ubuntu image that I can netboot from that gives me a shell and a few necessary tools? Kind of like a live cd, just smaller and network bootable [00:13] zsquareplusc, i dont see that option [00:14] ugh, anyone know how to keep vino-server from respawning? i have it disabled in remote desktop but every time i kill it it just responds in another proc [00:14] arrenlex1: alright. i usually just boot up as root. but yeah, as far as i've noticed only things that need me to start sudo are messed. === arrenlex1 is now known as arrenlex [00:14] nils: try Knoppix [00:14] nils_: what do you want? [00:14] or freshmeat.net [00:14] aarkerio: that just as big as an ubuntu live cd [00:14] zsquareplusc: a rescue system [00:14] cvd-pr: i really cant say much, it's the kind of thing you gotta try to know :S [00:14] sweet, this mouse works, I guess I'll tell you all my story. This computer, a Dell OptiPlex GX620, is new from two days ago. It came with BIOS ver. A05, and a USB mouse (only two things relevant to the story). I was having a problem in Windows with, oh say half the time, single-clicks registering as double-clicks. I updated the BIOS to ver. A11, but that didn't fix it. Also, the problem also occurred in Ubuntu, so I knew it was either the h [00:14] ardware or the BIOS. Anyways, I just plugged in a different USB mouse and it seems not to have the problem. [00:14] nils_: you can netboot the live cd, at least hardy. [00:15] zsquareplusc: hmm that would be quite large [00:15] there are a lot of rescue livecds on freshmeat.net [00:15] nils_: well it uses 600 MB on your server. but it doesn load all that to boot [00:17] hello [00:17] does anyone here speak english?

[00:20] 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? [00:20] dmsuperman: some tools have problems with restarting dbus. try to log out and in again [00:20] zsquareplusc: I completely restarted X and dbus, I said that -_- [00:21] guys, I'm having some weird mouse acceleration behaviour after upgrading to Intrepid. I usually play games on a second X server, but whenever I switch X servers, the display :0 (the one with GNOME) always resets my mouse acceleration to some default value, while display :1 (with the game) keeps its settings... any ideas why and/or how to fix? [00:21] dmsuperman: yeah you did. and a reboot? [00:21] btw, I'm setting and checking them with "xset m" and "xset q" [00:21] I am trying to install multiple distros on a thumb drive with unetbootlin how do I do so... aka what do I need to edit [00:21] zsquareplusc: Not yet, prefer to avoid reboots when possible. I have a lot of hard drives to fsck when I do [00:22] Bsims, you would have to do some manual configuring of the syslinux (or was it grub) boot loader on the drive.. and perhaps some work at 'installing' to the THumbdrive, and archive the isntall somewhere else. install next OS.. and move the first one back.... [00:22] Bsims, unetbootin may erase the first. if you install another on top [00:22] so my cat pulled out my external drive's power supply while formatting.... now it wont' show up at all when I plug it in.... what do i do???? [00:22] how stupid of dell to sell a laptop with ubuntu on it, but not make sure that it actually works correctly! [00:22] Bsims, and of course different disrtos install in different 'ways' to a thumb drive [00:22] rustybox: Does gparted find it? [00:23] dr_willis: thats the problem, how do I prevent it from doing so, I want ntpasswd and ophtcrack [00:23] rustybox, fdisk it. delete partitions, remake them. format it again [00:23] rustybox: Plug it in and go to the partition manager, I think it's in system or admin. Is it listed? [00:23] arrenlex, no, i was formatting it with gparted but now it won't [00:23] Bsims, you will have to install each OS and see how thy install and manually tweak things. [00:23] zsquareplusc: Though I found somebody else with the same problem and they restarted with no results [00:23] Gah they really need to add an append feature to that thing [00:23] how do i remove failed reposotitories [00:23] rustybox: get a turtle? ;) [00:23] rustybox: Does the output of dmesg change when you plug it in? [00:23] they make my downloads stop at 140 out of 142 [00:23] zsquareplusc: I've restarted dbus completely, and X, and networking, still nothing :( [00:24] arrenlex, it's not showing up... are the filesystems damaged or something [00:24] i downloaded opera .deb from opera website, how do i install it? [00:24] arrenlex, dmesg shows a bunch of gibberish, part of it says "buffer i/o error" or somethign like that [00:24] never mind i think i got it [00:24] rustybox: well, that doesn't look promising. [00:24] badawi: double-click on it, should open with gdebi [00:24] rustybox: Can you pastebin the relevant portion? [00:24] arrenlex, yes [00:25] Any apache users here? I can't seem to find htpasswd2 to set a user and password... [00:25] dr_willis: I cam [00:25] badawi: or terminal -> dpkg -i /pathtodeb/opera.deb [00:25] how can i see what version of a package i have installed in the package manager? i think for some reason, apt isn't upgrading a certain package, even though a newer one is available in the enabled repos === thseiler_ is now known as thseiler [00:25] fluxy: thank you === sean is now known as Guest1414 [00:25] i use lampp, alot easier to set up apache wiht [00:25] dr_willis: Er I can't even find a good how to on it for the love of GNU [00:25] I checked their useless wiki [00:25] ganymede, apt-cache policy package [00:25] dmsuperman: and system->prefs->network? [00:25] Bsims, no idea then.. Ive seen 2gb thumb drives for $5 a pop.. I aint going to be doing much Multi-intall-hacking on my thumbdrives any time soon. [00:25] ganymede: dpkg -l | grep package-name [00:26] zsquareplusc: It's supposed to show up under the menu when you click on nm-applet [00:26] Bsims, i did get PuppyLinux+Geexbox on one THumbdrive however. and Ihad to manually edit the boot configs [00:26] arrenlex, http://pastebin.com/m1208abb6 [00:26] dr_willis: what file did you edit? [00:26] IdleOne, dmsuperman, thanks [00:26] hey guys I'm having a weird problem - whenever I switch from "none" to "normal" on special effects i lost the title bars on my programs. If i run metacity -replace they come back, but then i have to do it again when i reboot. what can i do to fix this? [00:26] ganymede, np [00:27] dr_willis, fdisk says "unable to open sdb" [00:27] dmsuperman: well, network manager seems to have changed a lot in the last releases. is the howto your follwing for your ubuntu flavor? [00:27] i there any ermm adult channels on this? [00:27] hlfshell: Do you have ccsm installed? [00:27] yes [00:27] cliff_: try over on undernet.org [00:27] zsquareplusc: As far as I can tell, yes [00:27] dmsuperman - yes* [00:28] rustybox, you did use 'sudo' at the front? [00:28] rustybox: after the drive lost power. did you unplug it, powered again and plugged it in again? [00:28] hlfshell: Open that up, then go to "decorator" and make sure you have "metacity --replace" under the decorator command [00:28] Bsims, depends on th boot loader its using.. syslinux has its syslinux.cfg [00:28] Anyone using Ubuntu Server for a file server on a Windows network with Samba? [00:28] rustybox: Ah, nothing except that, eh? I don't know, sorry. Google that error message, I guess... sorry I can't help. [00:28] trying that now dmsuperman...

[00:29] hlfshell: Yup :) [00:29] Bsims, no idea.. depends on the specific disrto you are messing with. [00:29] Bsims, it pays to read the syslinux config/docs :) its a powerfull tool [00:29] Jason_WT: yep.. not the repo version though.. it doesn't have usb support [00:29] dmsuperman - you meant "Window Decoration", right? [00:29] dr_willis: Hrm I know both want their vesamenu.32 [00:29] hlfshell: Yeah something like that :P [00:29] U-b-u-n-t-u: do you have the correct driver for you video card or is it running the vesa driver? (/var/log/Xorg.log might help) [00:29] Apache Tomcat ???? is this good for learn ?? [00:30] i was wondering if i could install ubuntu on the virtual hard drive it creates?

[00:30] what would be the easiest way to move the contents including directory from /a/b to / including hidden files and preserving all the file attributes? [00:30] Bsims, its proberly not needed.. if you set up a simple text menu [00:30] Jason_WT: sounds like you're running vbox on a windows system.. yep.. just download the ISO of the version you want to try and have vbox install from the iso. [00:30] Hrm I'l play some [00:31] hlfshell: If you want to use metacity to decorate your windows. Personally I prefer to install emerald and just use emerald --replace, and I hear a lot of people have fewer problems with it [00:31] hlfshell: But it also uses more resources [00:31] koshari: cp -ax ? [00:31] how much ram and HD space should i create for it [00:31] ? [00:31] can i just list metacity -replace or do i have tofind where that program is located dmsuperman ? [00:31] koshari: you really want to copy something to / ? [00:31] dmsuperman: I must be the exception.. I've had nothing but issues with emerald [00:31] hlfshell: I think it's "--replace" but yeah you don't need to find it [00:32] zsquareplusc i accidently rsynced my filesys back to /a rater than / [00:32] Scunizi: Odd, I really haven't heard of anybody having problems with it :P [00:32] Jason_WT: 6-8 gigs.. nice thing is you can delete it later.. as for memory, I think vbox defaults will work fine [00:32] zsquareplusc wont cp copy, i want to move, or i may as well rsync again but that will take 10 mins :-( [00:32] koshari: use rsync again if you know that tool well. or mv should preserve too? [00:32] ok [00:33] zsquareplusc i will try the mv , i can always rsnc again if it fails [00:33] zsquareplusc do you know if there is a -r switch to include dirs? [00:34] #ubuntu-ru [00:34] anyone know a good desktop desktop switcher? [00:34] koshari: no, but if you mv a directory its folder is also moved [00:34] koshari: grsync is a nice gui front end for rsync.. not complete but functional for basic stuff . [00:34] koshari: and you can mv /b/* / [00:34] nbeebo: Desktop switcher? [00:35] dmsuperman, meant desktop workspace switcher sorry [00:35] nbeebo: Window switcher?

[00:47] echinos: can you play any other sound on it? === david_ is now known as __david [00:47] IdNotFound: haven't tried, one sec [00:49] IdNotFound: seems not, other sound progs (rhythmbox, mplayer) don't even try to play, it seems. No useful messages from mplayer [00:49] echinos: try `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` [00:50] oh, here we go: AO: [pulse] Failed to connect to server: Timeout [00:50] device or resource busy [00:50] how do i get my cube to resemble a globe in compiz? [00:50] echinos, in a command shell, try ps aux |grep -i tux \n it could still have some process running in the background [00:51] tried that, it's not there :( [00:51] grep for dsp returns nothing as well [00:51] echinos: try `fuser -mv /dev/dsp`, it used to help me finding stuff blocking sound... try the ones with the 'm' flag first (I have no idea what's behind this, it's empirical) [00:51] I'm stumped [00:52] echinos: most stuff won't actually be USING the device, though... so don't worry about the big list [00:52] pepparkaka it says i need to install it [00:53] echinos, do you have the pulseaudio applet in your taskbar ? [00:53] crap, there's a lot of stuff using it, but nothing with m [00:53] pepparkaka: no, just the mixer [00:53] Fixed! [00:53] How do I disable the "On this Computer" folder in evolution? [00:53] \/win [00:53] Question: I'm running 8.10, wired. I'm doing dhclient eth0 - It shows as getting an offer from my local router, but keeps on making DHCPREQUESTS - never accepting the offer. Any ideas why this would be happening? [00:55] echinos: I'm out of ideas, you might want to do a reboot :( [00:55] IdNotFound: well, I can just ctrl-alt-bksp for this [00:56] echinos: sure, do that first if you can... [00:56] echinos, well in the mixer context menu, is there a manager option ? [00:56] I've had odd sound problems for a while [00:56] pepparkaka: nope [00:57] What is the proper place to put hdparm settings such that they get re-applied at resume time? /etc/hdparm.conf apparently isn't [00:57] echinos, run it manually. the executable is named paman [00:57] I have no such exe [00:57] need root? [00:58] jedi06, then install it. You should be able to find it in synaptic (under the system menu) [00:58] ciao [00:58] echinos, depends if you run pulseaudio as root or not. just try gksu, it should sort it for you [00:58] installing paman.... === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [00:59] paman gives "Connection refused" [00:59] so no info [01:01] Hey buddies :D [01:01] are there any bazaar plugins for code::blocks? [01:01] echinos, then I don't know, paman doesn't accept any options because it should connect to your default source. [01:02] zloog: hmmm same thing [01:02] very odd === [Toscanni] is now known as Mariana [01:02] What is the command to cut and paste a folder ? [01:02] well, 3-finger-salute time [01:02] TecR0c: mv [01:02] !cli > TecR0c [01:02] TecR0c, please see my private message [01:02] TecR0c: mv [01:02] join #ubuntu-gr [01:03] echinos, have you tried to SIGHUP the pulseaudio processes ? [01:03] I've upgraded my MacBook to intrepid, and now X won't start [01:03] I was messing around on my server through my gnome-terminal via SSH and then forgot I was logged into the remote system and started doing things I wanted to do on my computer. I was wondering if there was a way that I could make the default color of my gnome-terminal XXX but if it's SSH'd to a server, have it be another color. [01:03] The output of startx is at http://gist.github.com/33708 [01:03] nex3: just works for me. Which macbook? [01:04] jrib: I'm not sure... how would I check? [01:04] nex3: is it the latest one or the one that was solid white/black? [01:04] Where can I find a list of patches Ubuntu developpers add to the kernel ? [01:04] I got it spring 2007, I think, so pretty old [01:04] jrib: solid white [01:04] nex3: pastebin xorg.conf. How did you upgrade? [01:05] oi [01:05] jrib: I'm not using an xorg.conf... I've heard that's supposed to work [01:05] I have tried it with a simple auto-generated one with the same results [01:05] I could paste that if you want [01:06] And I upgraded using sudo do-release-upgrade [01:06] hi - whats the best way of creating an admin user along with the user group "admin" or "admins" with associated privileges (not graphically, but in the shell) [01:06] unfortunately, the only stnadard user group which could serve is adm [01:07] It's possible my upgrade was disrupted and restarted at some point [01:07] uhm guys [01:07] I'm not sure what to do about that, though [01:07] i installed the latest ubuntu drivers [01:07] WorldDomination: Don't use adm for that - adm has a very standard purpose: "Can read system logs" [01:07] the xserver wont start anyways [01:07] hey guys, I have a question [01:07] says no screens found [01:07] hm maxb - how then ? [01:07] I use debris linux, I'm quite new [01:07] why is it torturing me so [01:07] ok i have a problem with xserver [01:07] what command would I put into the command line to install a driver? [01:07] installed the latest drivers from nvidia [01:07] says no screens found [01:08] whats best utility for riping dvds? [01:08] WorldDomination: well, what do you mean by admin user? That's "root", surely? [01:08] kam1lly what are you trying to intsall? [01:08] an ati driver [01:08] ::( [01:08] nex3: erm. Are you sure there does not exist /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [01:08] !root [01:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:08] !sudo [01:08] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:09] * maxb_ lols at that factoid [01:09] maxb_: if you like, I want a root user, with same right, except that they need to do "sudo" for system tasks like mounting a new device [01:09] !pptp [01:09] pptp is not good according to Bruce Schneier http://schneier.com/pptp.html here the words insecurity are useful [01:09] file:///home/kam1lly/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run is exactly what I'm trying to install [01:09] or mapping it [01:09] !vpn [01:09] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [01:09] jrib: I've tried it both with and without xorg.conf [01:09] kam1lly apt-get install installs things to your computer. You can do apt-cache search to search for things you want. So, you could try apt-cache search Envy [01:09] ok [01:09] WorldDomination: so... you want a normal user that is authorized to sudo? [01:09] but basically I want them to be able to inspect e.g. the svn directory and write there [01:09] kam1lly EnvyNG is a good program that installs the latest Nvidia and ATI drivers on yoru system [01:10] The xorg.conf I tried is at http://gist.github.com/33709 [01:10] nex3: you didn't answer my other question. How did you upgrade? [01:10] maxb_ : well, yes - would you recommend that ? [01:10] jrib: sudo do-release-upgrade [01:10] what shell command can i use to get info on a usb device that is currently plugged in? [01:10] kam1lly the website for Envy is http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . [01:10] I want my team to be able to be admin on this server [01:10] thanks alot [01:10] so I think the best approach would be to create admin accounts for them [01:10] I think this might work [01:11] kam1lly: NP. Just remember you might have to use sudo before some commands to run them as root. [01:11] nobody is willing to help me T.T [01:11] Whats the problem Nick_Meister? [01:11] WorldDomination: Have you noticed that Ubuntu ships with an 'admin' group which has the right to sudo, by default? :-) [01:11] jrib: It's possible my upgrade was disrupted and restarted at some point [01:11] maxb_ well not on mine [01:11] pasteeater: lsusb -vvv [01:12] gnutron: thanks [01:12] I did a vi /etc/groups [01:12] WorldDomination: hmm, how odd [01:12] ubuntu is crazy man i didnt have to configure anything and it all works. [01:12] there is no admin group there [01:12] sorry [01:12] vi /etc/group [01:12] earthmeLon, i have a problem where i start my pc and xserver errors out saying no screens found [01:12] Well, you don't even need a group, really, you can just grant authority to individual users in /etc/sudoers [01:13] oh ok [01:13] is there a howto for that somewhere ? [01:13] if my Ubuntu installation is on a USB HDD, and I 'suspend', would it be okay to remove my hard drive? And before I come back, put it back in? [01:13] I need help setting up a pptp server. http://poptop.sourceforge.net/dox/diagnose-forwarding.phtml <--- in test #1, I get a ping reply but tcpdump running on the server does not show any packets [01:13] earthmeLon, change the shell settings to some different colours on the server ? Or select which env parameters get passed with the sendenv and PATTERN functions in your ssh_config (must be supported by server). Or alias your ssh client to a shell file that spawns a new shell in different colours and passes on the input paramters. [01:14] hi, is there any python/gtk programming channel? [01:14] pepparkaka. A script that passes the colors to another terminal sounds like the easiest solution (although I'm not sure how to go about that). I will look up some information. Thanks for the suggestion :D === Mariana is now known as [Toscanni] [01:15] jrib: No ideas, then? === sean is now known as Guest28328 [01:15] hmm, sorry guys, but I seem to be missing something, I tried this guide (http://www.albertomilone.com/envyfaq.html#A) and the first step doesn't work [01:15] whenever I put cd in front I can't complete a line [01:15] earthmeLon, yeah aliasing is often easy.. Just remember that someday it will come back and bite you in the behind when you're using another computer that doesn't have your nifty alias :) [01:16] i got an ATI video card and an Nvidia. I have dual monitors on the nvidia and want to use the ATI card for my TV, not sure on the linux term for this? [01:16] kam1lly what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:16] debris linux [01:16] :) [01:17] Do you have apt installed kam1lly? [01:17] nex3: I don't understand why you say "it's possible my upgrade was disrupted". Was it or wasn't it? [01:17] but it utilizes the same features does it not? [01:17] lordapex: you might have to build xorg.conf by hand.. this won't be an easy task [01:17] jrib: I didn't think so, but I wasn't paying full attention while it was happening, and my laptop occasionally loses internet connections and stuff like that [01:18] I just moved something to the trash can and then back out, how do i get rid of the padlock icon that is on it [01:18] kam1lly, if you have APT installed try sudo apt-get install envyng or sudo apt-get install envy-ng [01:18] Scunizi, wouldn't it be easier to try grandr or similar first ? manually doing xorg.conf seems to break more than fix things in the newer versions of xorg [01:18] nex3: ok. Let me boot up my macbook real quick [01:18] scunizi: i figure that much, but im up for the task just dont know where to go for some info on that [01:18] WorldDomination: I agree sudoers is a fairly mindbending file format, but I'd still suggest reading "man sudoers". By way of an example: root,maxb,%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL means that root, maxb, and people in the admin group can run, on ALL hosts (that's a feature to allow a single sudoers file to be shared for a whole network), as ALL (any) user, ALL (any) command, without needing to confirm their password [01:18] it says e: couldn't find package [01:18] pepparkaka: probably.. I'm not familure with grandr [01:19] kam1lly once you get Envy installed, run sudo envy -g to run the graphical interface for Envy [01:19] kam1lly do sudo apt-cache search envy and look at what it finds [01:19] !envyng [01:19] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [01:20] nex3: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log since that seems to be more verbose [01:20] Thanks genii [01:20] lordapex: pepparkaka mentioned a program that I didn't know existed.. grandr which is the graphical front end of xrandr. xrandr is what currently drives the x setup.. not xorg.conf. [01:20] I just moved something to the trash can and then back out, how do i get rid of the padlock icon that is on it [01:20] earthmeLon: np [01:20] is there a python IDE? I'm starting to get deeper into python programming and it's more fun than I thought. [01:21] ardchoille, eric [01:21] jrib: http://gist.github.com/33709 [01:21] denpasar [01:21] im on the ubuntu livecd and need to burn some files to dvd, ive got ubuntu live on a cdrom drive and the blank disc on a dvd burner....which app can burn in live mode? i assume i need to install it [01:21] lordapex : http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 \n Yes, I realize that is not for ubuntu but it might give some helpful pointers. [01:21] when I did an apt-cache search I found alsa-tools-gui [01:21] I installed that [01:21] now how do I use it? [01:21] is there a python IDE that uses gtk? [01:22] pepparkaka: linux is linux right [01:22] lordapex, for the most part yes [01:22] ok- ubuntu /firefox3.0 i cant open swf files from the filesystem unless they are embedded in a html page. firefox will always try to save the file. any ideas. (wrog channel?) [01:22] hello, I trashed my httpd.conf, what is the best way to "reinstall" adache2? [01:22] is there any python or gtk irc channel? [01:22] lordapex, yah. But first try grandr , it's supposedly very GUI-ish and user friendly. [01:22] Right-click it.. pick properties.. go to "permission" tab and give yourself "read only" then change it back to "read/write" again [01:22] TarBar: Right-click it.. pick properties.. go to "permission" tab and give yourself "read only" then change it back to "read/write" again [01:22] fulld: purge apache-commond and reinstall apache2 [01:23] i am trying to do penetration testing of my wireless network using ubuntu 8.10 -- is there a good channel to help with this? [01:23] fulld: purge apache2.2-common and reinstall apache2 [01:23] when I did an apt-cache search I found alsa-tools-gui [01:23] I installed it using apt-get install [01:23] how do I utilze it? [01:23] jrib: thank you much [01:24] try running kam1lly alsa-tools-gui ? [01:24] hey how do i install thunderbird [01:24] kam1lly I highly suggest Envy. Download the deb, install it and run it. It's never failed for me. [01:24] I can't find it in my applications drop down, I'm quite new at this [01:24] I could not find the deb [01:24] fulld: you're supposed to use apache2.conf by the way [01:24] and I did a cache search of envy and I found that === espacious_ is now known as espacious [01:25] is there any tool in ubuntu in which I can measure the processor / memory usage of a specific program [01:25] jrib: thanks, im upgrading from my 1x conf [01:25] abouche1: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [01:25] i tried that [01:25] abouche1: and? [01:25] top or htop [01:25] nothing i also tried synaptic and no luck either [01:26] how i remove the font shading on ubuntu desktop [01:26] aktiwers, yeah, but I remember in my old tmes on the shell, that there was a program, I don't know if it was time or something [01:26] or go to System =>Administration => System Monitor [01:26] how do I download the envy deb package? [01:26] aktiwers, I'm programming a software and I did some memory saving stuff, and I want to see how well they worked [01:26] abouche1: It's in main, which release are you using? lsb_release -a | grep -i release [01:27] aktiwers, thanks [01:27] kam1lly what happens if you do sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk ? [01:27] Hi there, I have a server which has a directory exported to another server over NFS. Some of the files there are called something like bama20081117_08.txt_RESULTS_18-Nov-2008_01-01-50-765.txt. Now all of the sudden, files like these are showing up: .nfs000000000001800700000004_RESULTS_31-Oct-2008_18-06-49-093.txt.. Does anybody know if this could be some sort of NFS problem I don't know about? [01:27] couldn't find package earthmelon [01:28] im using hardy [01:28] no problem [01:28] nex3: tried a live cd? Does that work okay? [01:29] abouche1: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please? [01:29] !paste | abouche1 [01:29] abouche1: 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) [01:29] what do you mean [01:29] jrib: Hardy LiveCDs work fine, but I haven't tried Intrepid [01:29] I don't have one handy, though [01:30] Hello, I am getting E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:30] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. when I am trying to update my ubuntu 64bits [01:30] can anyone help? [01:30] abouche1: I mean pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list so I can look at it, you have a problem and I am trying to help you fix it. [01:30] clickster: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [01:30] clickster: What happens when you do dpkg --configure -a ? [01:31] kam1lly have you ever compiled anything from source before? [01:31] sorry, I just installed ubuntu... where is sudo? [01:31] anybody know how to enable the pc speaker? [01:31] not that I know of [01:31] !sudo | clickster [01:31] clickster: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:31] nex3: here's the log on my macbook, though we have different versions (mine's 4.1) [01:31] clickster: you'd type that command in the terminal [01:31] the most I've done is installed things via apt-get install [01:31] thanks [01:31] nex3: http://pastebin.com/f63ee508e [01:31] bonhoffer, try #kismet [01:31] MegaJim, right click on speaker in the top right - preferences [01:32] thanks test34, it is enabled [01:32] pepparkaka, thanks [01:32] however terminal bell et all does not create a beep [01:32] nex3: gdm fails too? [01:32] i know the pc speaker works under vista [01:32] Simple question: What file system is preferable when installing ubuntu on a standard PC? [01:32] Wunk: ext3 [01:32] thanks [01:32] Wunk: ext3 [01:32] How do you choose? [01:33] jrib: Yeah, gdm is weird [01:33] when you install?? [01:33] Okay, kam1lly open up a terminal window and go to a directory where you want to work from (your home directory should work fine). Then do wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/legacy/envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu10.tar.gz . Wget downloads files from the internet to your computer. Then you will do tar -xvzf FILENAME to deflate the archive (like unzipping a file). Let me know when this is complete or you've got another question. [01:33] nex3: weird in what way? [01:33] jrib: It starts, gives the right color background, but never loads the login screen [01:33] The cursor alternates between spinning and the normal cursor [01:33] nex3: anything interesting in gdm logs? [01:33] No, same as startx [01:33] how do you install in ext3 [01:34] MegaJim, try modprobe pcspkr ? [01:34] damn since the installation of linux my windows runs slow.. [01:35] and I can't see that hard drive anymore in windows [01:35] Hi, is anyone here? [01:35] it was already there test34, and no difference :( [01:35] nex3: use http://pastebin.com/f72979458 just to rule xorg.conf out as the culprit [01:36] bah nvm guys [01:36] THANKS [01:36] also [01:36] lets see if you answer this [01:36] earthmeLon, I "unzipped" the file [01:36] nvidia [01:36] MonthOLDpickle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:36] MonthOLDpickle, Please keep your question in *one* message. It makes it easier for us to read and increases your chances of getting an answer. [01:36] how do you get the drivers installed [01:36] sudo -s [01:36] MonthOLDpickle, which drivers ? [01:36] apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [01:37] Hi Everyone - I'm trying to setup my first Ubuntu installation. I'm running Ubuntu Desktop and am trying to configure it to run Wordpress. I'm having huge issues with the repositories, though. When I update the repositories from the Terminal, I'm getting about 90% 404 errors. [01:37] jrib: Can you give me the raw link? I'm stuck in text mode [01:37] hello everyone. I need help with fstab. I have this line " /dev/sdc6 /home/janek/178GB vfat users,rw,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 " for mounting partitions, but when I boot my pc the partitions mount as read-only. But if i umount and then mount, i can write to the partitions [01:37] nex3: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f72979458 does that work? [01:37] earthmeLon, I "unzipped" the file [01:37] Kevin___, that's odd. Have you modified your sources.list or edited repository settings in synaptic ? [01:38] So I can't use the thign that pops up to install nvidia drivers? [01:38] I only edited it after I was having trouble. I'm running Feisty Fawn. [01:38] Cool, now you should be able to cd to that directory, so type cd [01:38] !feisty | Kevin___ [01:38] Kevin___: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [01:38] type ls to find the options you can change to [01:38] MonthOLDpickle, system -> administration -> hardware drivers [01:38] JanekMZ211, change the gid to your user's group id?

[01:39] jrib: THe link works, but the conf file doesn't [01:40] NEED HELP - 8.10 x64 - did sudo -s -> apt-get install nvidia-glx-177, after reboot I'm dropped to a terminal, cannot startx, no devices detected, no screens found - uninstall of restricted drivers leaves me in the same state [01:40] nex3: same Xorg.0.log? [01:40] eseven73: Why not use sudo su if you want to be root for that long? [01:40]  I ran gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and nothing happened, what's up? [01:41] emarvets: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf. What card do you have? [01:41] emarvets: Have you tried /usr/bin/jockey-gtk ? [01:41] aktiwers: didnt know if that would be safer that way or not [01:41] abouche1, the command for gksudo is gksu try that instead [01:41] jrib: Not sure... here's the new one: http://gist.github.com/33716 [01:41] Can I click on enabled restricted drivers and it will install the nvida driver? [01:41] eseven73: Oops.. I don't know that either :) [01:41] piklesonfire, ok let me try will have to do a reboot [01:41] piklesonfire: gksudo is a symlink to gksu it works either way [01:41] JanekMZ211, i'll be here, just let me know [01:42] ardchoille, haha, good to know also. [01:42] When I try and install Apache, I'm getting the error "Depends: apache2-mpm-worker but it is not going to be installed or apache2-mpm-prefork but is not going to be installed or apache2-mpm-event but it is not going to be installed [01:42] jrib GeForce 7600 GT [01:42] yeah aktiwers some website said to look in visudo but there is nothing there allowing you to change the 5 min timeout setting, ah well sudo su it is :) === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [01:42] nothing again should i just do a clean install because i just put ubuntu on a few days ago [01:43] but i have used it in the past [01:43] emarvets: congrats, we have the same card [01:43] Kevin___, if you try to manually install those with Apache, what type of error do you get? [01:43] nothing this bad though [01:43] jrib: hope you have answer then :) [01:43] emarvets: need logs first :) [01:43] eseven73: yeah sorry I don't know how to change it.. I always use sudo su or sudo -i [01:43] jrib: getting, in middle of reboot [01:44] piklesonfire: "...Have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added." I was sure to add the universe and multiverse repositories [01:44] Are there updated versions of linux-backports-modules out there with newer compat-wireless versions, by any chance? Perhaps in a PPA? [01:44] aktiwers: thats cool, i usually use sudo -i for long term stuff anyways [01:44] I can't get my external microphone input to work in Ubuntu 8.10. I have already tried muting the internal (and "docking") mics and selecting different things from the "Sound capture" drop down in the Sound preferences. Still no input. [01:45] jrib: pastebin not found [01:46] !paste | emarvets [01:46] emarvets: 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) [01:46] Any ideas, guys? I'm really stumped on this issue. I would much prefer to use Ubuntu over Windows Server but I am having nothing but bad luck. [01:46] is ext3 the default format ubuntu installs as? === lifi is now known as _lifi [01:46] yes [01:46] how do I set up smb [01:46] !samba [01:46] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [01:46] piklesonfire, it worked thanks [01:47] anytime JanekMZ211 [01:47] piklesonfire: I am behind a corporate firewall, but I don't see why some of the repositories are working and others are 404ing. [01:48] nex3: when you say "X won't start", what happens exactly? [01:48] Kevin___, what repos are 404ing? [01:48] MonthOLDpickle, yes [01:48] ok something is wrong with my xserver config file [01:48] http://pastebin.com/m43190e81 [01:48] i got 2 video cards and 2 monitors [01:48] Nick_Meister, no there isnt [01:48] why does it look so .... generic [01:48] Nick_Meister, xorg doesnt have any effect anymore [01:48] piklesonfire: I'm away from work but most of the default repos are failing. [01:48] usser, yes there it doesnt boot with that file [01:49] Nick_Meister, man xrandr [01:49] Nick_Meister, xorg.conf should look generic all x configuration is performed by xrandr now [01:49] usser, then why does my ubuntu crash with n an erro no screens found? [01:49] jrib: The screen goes black, then to the basic stippled background with the X cursor (which I can move around), then black again and back to text mode with the errors [01:50] Nick_Meister : what does your /var/log/X**** look like? [01:50] ext3 is the better format right? [01:50] (EE) no devices found is there aswell [01:50] Kevin___, can you pastbin you sources.list plz? [01:50] Nick_Meister, maybe incorrectly installed driver? what video card do u have? [01:50] anyone has some gtk experience?, that would like to spend some 5 mins with me? [01:50] Nick_Meister, what version of ubuntu do u use? [01:50] usser, i have 2 video cards and 2 monitors [01:50] is a GTX260 by nvidia supported lol [01:51] usser, 8.10 [01:51] Nick_Meister, hm 2 cards? did it work with default configuration, right after u installed ubuntu? [01:52] MonthOLDpickle: Yes [01:52] usser_, then i installed the latest nvidia drivers [01:52] piklesonfire: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted [01:52] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted [01:52] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted [01:52] deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted [01:52] and it broke [01:52] deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted [01:52] Kevin___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:52] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted [01:52] :( [01:52] MonthOLDpickle: GTX 280 too [01:52] Nick_Meister, where did u install it from nvidia site? [01:52] today [01:52] jrib: i'm uber noob...cannot figure out how to get you log with pastebin, other than typing verbatim on other machine [01:53] like 20 minutes ago [01:53] Nick_Meister, yea did u download it from nvidia site? [01:53] nex3: I don't see what it is and don't really have any ideas. I would try a live cd so you can see if it should be working and the upgrade just botched something [01:53] Kevin___: The reason they're failing is because Feisty isn't supported (it reached EOL a few months ago), you should upgrade to gutsy (and to hardy after that, actually) [01:53] usser_, yes [01:53] emarvets: are you logged in on the other machine? [01:53] jrib: y [01:53] Nick_Meister, cool did u run nvidia-xconfig afterwards? [01:53] emarvets: with a GUI? [01:53] usser_, yes [01:53] emarvets: Hight the text you wish to paste. Right click and copy. On pastebin site, put cursor in text field. Right click and paste [01:54] jrib: no, cannot startx [01:54] Flannel: Is there an easy way to upgrade? I have nothing installed so would it be easiest to just start fresh? [01:54] Looks like I'm not the only one with nvidia problems. [01:54] usser_, but the xserver still dont start :( [01:54] emarvets: you can use the "pastebinit" command, but you'll need to install it first [01:54] emarvets: In that case you need pastebinit [01:54] Nick_Meister, right, any particular guides u followed? [01:54] jrib: no devices detected, no screens found [01:54] trying [01:54] usser_, no, i just installed the drivers from their site, and it broke :( [01:55] jrib: installed [01:55] Kevin___: There are easy ways to upgrade, yes. Although reinstalling would be less downloading, if bandwidth is the problem (you'd have to upgrade to gutsy, then to hardy, vs just installing Hardy fresh) [01:55] hello [01:55] jrib: All right, I'll try that when I get a chance [01:55] Thanks for your help [01:55] Flannel: Do you have a link w/ instructions, perhaps? I really appreciate all the help. [01:55] Nick_Meister, if im not mistaken. if u install it from nvidia.com you have to blacklist the driver that comes with ubuntu [01:55] usser_, any way to fix this? [01:55] Nick_Meister, hang on [01:55] guys, I'm having some weird mouse acceleration behaviour after upgrading to Intrepid. I usually play games on a second X server, but whenever I switch X servers, the display :0 (the one with GNOME) always resets my mouse acceleration to some default value, while display :1 (with the game) keeps its settings... any ideas why and/or how to fix? (I'm setting and checking them with "xset m" and "xset q") [01:55] Kevin___: so if you don't have much to lose, a fresh install is definately easier. I'd recommend Hardy, because it's LTS, so you can keep it until 2011 without having to upgrade [01:56] Kevin___: For upgrading? [01:56] !upgrade | Kevin___ [01:56] Kevin___: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:56] Hi [01:56] Flannel: Nevermind. If a fresh install is definitely easier I will just go that route. [01:56] I was wondering if somebody could help me get set up with dual monitors [01:56] Kevin___: As far as being "fully up to date" with feisty, you'll have to man... ok [01:56] have a dual boot question [01:56] when installing is there a way to make it not the first boot choice but the second? [01:56] Kevin___, you can also use the hardy install cd to ugrade your current install [01:56] If somebody could please help me, I wouldbe very very happy [01:56] So if I boot up and walk away..it defaults to windows instead to ubuntu [01:57] 15 second [01:57] currently it defaults to ubuntu if I leave it [01:57] piklesonfire: So if I just pop it in before startup it should walk me through the upgrade? [01:57] http://faculty.matcmadison.edu/cpaac/online/mm/AVI_sample.htm <-- default ubuntu desktop fails to play these avi's .. using mplayer? [01:57] you need to select ubuntu [01:57] and I have the hard drive with windows higher piority in bios than the one with ubuntu [01:57] Kevin___, it should :] [01:57] Whenever I upgrade my nvidia drivers and reboot, the monitor turns off before the Ubuntu load screen comes on. [01:57] Nick_Meister, here give that a shot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual pay close attention to disabling conflicting software section [01:57] MonthOLDpickle: you can set the default boot option in GRUB's menu.lst [01:57] piklesonfire and Flannel, thank you very much for your advice. I'll do the upgrade soon! [01:57] jrib: pastebin.com/f79393ac8 [01:57] I can't get my external microphone input to work in Ubuntu 8.10. I have already tried muting the internal (and "docking") mics and selecting different things from the "Sound capture" drop down in the Sound preferences. Still no input. [01:57] MonthOLDpickle: alt-f2, then type "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", then change "default 0" to "default saved", scroll down to the bottom and put "savedefault" on its own line inside the windows entry [01:57] Kevin___, any time bud [01:58] MonthOLDpickle: If you've never taken a look at /boot/fstab, it's the text file that controls GRUB. line 14 on an unedited menu.lst shows the default option setting. [01:58] usser_, ok hold on [01:58] jrib: pastebin.com/f4bb32afd [01:59] cany somebody help me out in getting my wireless working? i have no way of connecting besides that [01:59] svchost, what are yout trying right now?

[02:00] yes [02:00] jrib: Y [02:00] svchost, you might paste what ifconfig returns and what is in you /etc/network/interfaces [02:00] emarvets: you need to specify the busid in your xorg.conf.

[02:02] jrib: any instructions of specifying busid and driver? [02:02] Nick_Meister, did u follow the guide to the letter or only some parts? [02:02] svchost, do you have the machine there and you are on another machine to access this IRC? [02:02] how do you open up like [02:02] Anyone know how to fix screen resolution/nvidia problems?

This here channel is for Ubuntu support :P [02:17] svchost system>administration>hardware drivers [02:17] svchost, try searching upgrading to intrepid. [02:17] Can somebody PLEASE help me? [02:17] jrib, what is the easiest way to alias that to, say, lsdir [02:17] @ exodus : synaptic shoud have some something for that [02:18] drog, he's on Hardy [02:18] svchost, you're not using intrepid? You might consider trying it. It is very good with wireless [02:18] how do i get my inbuilt web cam working ? [02:18] do i create a shell script in /usr/bin that calls that -- or is there a better way? [02:18] i just installed the thing 30 minutes ago [02:18] lol [02:18] drog, so I've told him :) [02:18] Good evening. I'm trying to find my log files on Pidgin. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. [02:18] theres 2 things inside of there drog [02:18] Typhoeus: open your home folder, press Ctrl-H to show hidden files, and look in .purple (if i remember correctly) [02:18] bonhoffer: find -maxdepth 1 -type d works too. Just add the alias to your ~/.bashrc [02:19] svchost, you won't be sorry -- Install 8.10 [02:19] hi i am new [02:19] JeremyE: what the prob? [02:19] rww, thank you very much. Give me a moment to see if that does the trick.

It's an 80gig drive and now have another drive to back it up [02:20] !details > prince [02:20] thanks jrib [02:20] crumple: Well, my dad is going to pay me $50 to get him dual monitors up and running [02:20] what i'm concerned with is copying the whole 80gigs in one go and stressing the failing drive [02:20] and I have until christmas [02:20] svchost ... then of course "ndiswrapper -i " [02:20] but I've got some problems [02:20] i cant install that without an internet connection drog, can i? lol [02:20] I need to know exactly WHAT TO DO [02:20] JeremyE: ah yes, dual monitors [02:20] can'y get rosegarden to install on ubuntu [02:20] one thing i'd like to is artificially cap the copy speed, and maybe take periodic breaks [02:20] beforehand because I won't actually have acess to his computer until then [02:20] I know all his information [02:20] looks like Exim smtp server is installed on my box, and due to a failed ssh tunnel, a buch of my tbird mail got sent to localhost:25 (Exim) [02:20] jrib, after making changes in bashrc how do i get them to run (do i need to restart/reload something?) [02:20] the problem is, i have no internet connection on this laptop [02:20] and exactly what the problem is [02:20] so how do i get it working without an internet connection? lol [02:20] svchost, intrepid is really good at hardware compability. i currently have 2 laptops and one macbook pro santa rosa running it without any problem and out of the box [02:20] All I need are some decent instructions [02:20] !enter [02:20] I recently updated my Hardy Heron server and apache2 was updated... I can no longer access my https pages on my server. I get the error "Data Transfer Interrupted". Had anyone else experienced this error? [02:20] prince_: how are you trying to install rosegarden [02:20] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:20] Please PM me [02:20] bonhoffer: restarting the terminal is enough [02:20] rww, I've found the folder for .purple. I don't see any log files. [02:20] is there any copy/backup util that'll treat a failing drive with kid gloves? [02:21] svchost, doesn't it have a ethernet ? [02:21] svchost I'm not sure how many dependencies ndiswrapper has, but you can if you transfer the .deb files from a mounted windows/flash drive [02:21] i cant hook it up via ethernet [02:21] got it [02:21] and never got delivered anywhere. what did Exim do with it? [02:21] i try kde [02:21] Typhoeus: give me a sec and I'll boot up Ubuntu and find out where mine are [02:22] anyone here know of a "pretty" gnome/KDE tool for IPTables/routing/NAT, etc? [02:22] hey guys, i was wondering if you could set the gnome-panel to not reserve the edge of the winow? [02:22] rww. Sweet. [02:22] rww, virtual machine, or the real deal? [02:23] Typhoeus: I'm at work, so virtual machine. My box at home is for real. [02:23] anyoneknowwhere i can get the latest rosegarden update? [02:23] svchost, drog: ndiswrapper has packages on the Ubuntu Cd, if you still have that around [02:23] @ Typhoeus : install the pidgin plugins from synaptic, and you'll get a option in the tools menu === sean is now known as Guest58747 [02:24] rww: Your work is cool with VPN or ssh for private use? [02:24] I recently updated my Hardy Heron server and apache2 was updated... I can no longer access my https pages on my server. I get the error "Data Transfer Interrupted". Had anyone else experienced this error? [02:24] does anyone know how to allow the gnome-panel to be covered by applications? [02:24] Typhoeus: yeah, but I'm in the middle of renegotiating with my (college) ISP about my ssh server, so it's turned off for now [02:24] dariusdwtt: Let me take a look at that. [02:24] prince_, http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/getting/ [02:25] or it might be there already? [02:25] do i just put the cd in? [02:25] Welllll hello Ubuntu community. [02:25] and enable logging in your prefs [02:25] rww: Nice that you can "renegotiate" with the ISP. [02:25] thank uexodus [02:25] how do i get those flannel? [02:25] prince_, google is your friend... :) [02:26] svchost: Do you have a CD? [02:26] yes.. its 8.04 though [02:26] cool [02:26] Typhoeus: okay, it's up. Looks like my logs are in /home/username/.purple/logs/ . Yours aren't? [02:26] svchost: What version are you trying to use ndiswrapper on? [02:26] 8.04 [02:27] rww/dariusdwtt: I pulled bonehead move, and assumed logging automatically turned on. Trillian spoiled me. [02:27] svchost: Then you're good. Pop the CD in, the deb files are on there. It'd probably be easier to just isntall them with dpkg [02:27] huh [02:28] aegis, have you tried #apache? [02:28] so, what autoupdate for 8.10 just horribly broke fglrx support in Xorg ? [02:28] Is there anyone here who would be able to aid a Linux/Ubuntu total noob in learning how to operate the system? [02:28] and how can I roll it back? [02:28] rww/dariusdwtt: I think if I had filed logs, it would be /home/username/.purple/logs. [02:28] Typhoeus: ah, okay. That'd explain it :). Incidentally, I don't remember ever turning logging on on this machine, so it appears that Jaunty/9.04 turns it on by default, so in the future, you'll be covered :) [02:28] and for those of you using ati cards and 8.10, *DO NOT AUTOUPDATE* unless you want your system hosed. [02:28] Architect, What is the problem? [02:28] svchost, you don't have an ethernet card on that laptop?

[02:52] Der_Thomas: Awesome. Enjoy. :) [02:52] timboy:killing isn't always a good option [02:52] timboy: Has sound ever worked on ubuntu before? [02:52] Also, if I NAT to another private subnet the NAT works just fine, it's only when I NAT to the internet that i have problems. [02:52] dennis: Okay, this worked for my Inspirion 9400. What you need to do is to disable SAVE_VBE_STATE and POST_VIDEO in /etc/default/acpi-support [02:52] arrenlex, that is very strange to me, seems to break the *nix idea of EVERYTHING being a file [02:52] tiyowan: same here, although that was several months ago. what did you use to install? [02:52] arrenlex, thanks for your help [02:52] timboy:you'll need to replace it with something [02:52] arrenlex ^ and others, thanks for your help [02:52] jat2: LiveCD. :-) [02:52] arrenlex, sound works watching movies in xbmc but not regular stereo in xbmc or in ubuntu [02:53] dariusdwtt, alsa is running [02:53] can i ask f someone knows how to activate my asus a8le wireless?

[02:57] timboy: eh, not really... out of curiosity, do you have mplayer installed? Can you run mplayer in the console and see if it complains about the audio at all?

[03:24] timboy, For some reason Intrepid does not create an audio group, and membership in such a group is necessary to ensure priority access to the sound devices. [03:24] how can that happen?..

I am sure there must be a way to get in [03:31] sabayonweb_68615: My experience has been that my nVidia cards work well, my Intel card has never quite worked right, and I haven't tried my ATI yet. [03:31] can we do it in privat [03:31] joeb3_: Same error No such file or directory [03:31] either from live cd or the busybox shell [03:31] Songwind: what brand computer you get [03:31] sabayonweb_68615: Nevermind, I am thinking backwards. TV-out, not TV-in. [03:31] skovoroda: it is better here since if i don't know the answer somebody else might answer it [03:31] tiyowanI just don't know the commands === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar [03:32] norcim122: You tried typing startx from the shell? Me neither. [03:32] no [03:32] sabayonweb_68615: Toshiba laptop has the Intel chipset. The others are BYOPC. Oh, and good TV out from nVidia on an HP laptop. [03:32] DavidCanarias, ls hplip-2.8.10.run. do you see the file? Is the file executable? chmod 750 hplip-2.8.10.run [03:32] norcim122: Give it a try, please. [03:32] it has options like "home, umount, pwd, etc" [03:32] DavidCanarias, Open the terminal and 'cd' to the 'downloads directory. Then in Terminal type ls -l hplip-2.8.10.run [03:32] I'm in live CD now [03:32] metalslugger: i'll see. Does anyone know if Imagemagick can do jpeg2000's [03:33] ok first of all i got an old lap Acer TravelMate 2410 with intel Graphics - I'm just trying to instal drivers or smtg [03:33] hot can i know that they are instaled [03:33] norcim122: Restart your box. Remove the liveCD, boot from your usb, and try startx. [03:33] Songwind: so this would be cool? http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=204447 [03:33] !driver | skovoroda [03:33] then? [03:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about driver [03:33] exodus_ms: This is all new to me so apologies I am getting lost a bit. Patience plse!! In terminal what do I need to type in [03:33] !drivers | skovoroda [03:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers [03:33] hmm [03:33] thats what i could get in the dell package i want === _lifi is now known as lifi [03:34] sabayonweb_68615: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/List_of_Device_Vendors [03:34] murlindhar ? where should i do that ? [03:34] are you looking at a website with this? [03:34] joeb3-: I can see the file in downloads, but what do you mean by is it executable? [03:34] why on Ubuntu does my friend's name look like this but not in Windows? http://www.node357.ca/img/nazi_wtf.jpg [03:34] skovoroda: afaik the default driver should work good [03:34] norcim122: If it works, you should see the graphical user interface. [03:34] oh [03:34] and why I can tipe "?" only with ctrl+v :) [03:34] cd /home/DavidCanarias/downloads if that is the path, if not just substitute the actually path. If you don't know, look at the top of Naautilus and see where you are at i the file system [03:35] skovoroda: press shift+insert [03:35] I doubt it. but i will try. [03:35] skovoroda: to paste [03:35] Out of curiosity, are there Canonical employees who's only job is to sit here and offer support? [03:35] sabayonweb_68615: TV tuners are outside by experience - but I know Hauppage makes some supported devices. [03:35] norcim122: I'll wait. [03:35] DavidCanarias, ^ [03:35] PeterFA, no [03:35] anyone hearing me [03:35] Thanks Tiyowan if I don't return! [03:35] on Ubuntu 7.10, how do I mount partitions from a drive with a Dynamic type? the partitions are NTFS, but ntfs-3g says that they are not valid NTFS [03:36] skovoroda: press murli then TAB button to autocomplete my name [03:36] exodus_ms: this is the path : home/david/Desktop/Downloads [03:36] skovoroda: that way it is easy to spell my name correctly [03:36] joeb3_, just asking because I rarely get the, "Google it," attitude in this channel. [03:36] DavidCanarias, Ok, in the Terminal type cd home/david/Desktop/Downloads. Then type ls -l hplip-2.8.10.run [03:36] murlidhar: wwhy i cant just tipe it "?" [03:36] joeb3_, pretty nice when I'm providing proxy support. [03:37] murlidhar: with the keyboard :) [03:37] some dvds I'm unable to play on my system. Others I can watch fine. Is the a problem with some new encryption schemes on the newer dvds? I only have problems with the newer dvds. [03:37] skovoroda: maybe the keyboard configuration was not done properly [03:37] exodus_ms: I typed in first cd home/david/Desktop/Downloads and it said No such file or directory???? Did I do it wrong? [03:38] also no brainer but i guess it would be better to buy an nvidia card instead of paying to upgrade from intel to ati seeing how ati is not option for the computer i want [03:38] murlidhar: US layout, so any way can i some how check wich drivers are working well ? [03:38] i mean nvidia is not option [03:38] skovoroda: i am not sure of it somebody else might [03:38] DavidCanarias, /home [03:39] PeterFA: nobody here is from canonical here . everybody here is to help out each other [03:39] murlidhar: beacause when I'm trying to do it with hardware manager sistem show nothing [03:39] exodus_ms, didn't work. I try to play the file with pulseaudio on no dice then I try to play it with alsa and still no go [03:39] murlidhar: hardware drivers* [03:39] exodus_ms: You will lose your patience with me!!! nothing happens when I type in "/home" [03:39] skovoroda: no idea sorry :( [03:40] Does anyone knwo of some software to crop an AVI ? [03:40] exodus_ms: it just says its a directory [03:40] like to remove the black bard on the top/bottom of a movie [03:40] DavidCanarias, Ok, You did not put a '/' in front of home previously. Try cd /home/david/Desktop/Downloads/ [03:40] murlidhar: och bad :) I just want to know all that tjhings to be sure, that I can work on Linux [03:40] I'm tyred of windows === c is now known as Guest75043 [03:41] I've been having a problem recently where my windows get messed up in various ways. Either titles will become very discolored (like inverse colored), or they will be too large and i can not resize them so that part of the window (this mainly happens with FF) is hiden behind the panel or takes the place of the panel. [03:41] I wonder whether norcim122 got that USB working. :/ [03:41] okay I was wrong, he did it on purpose so sorry [03:41] skovoroda: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:41] murlidhar: but you say that everything should work by defult ? [03:41] exodus_ms: This is exactly what I typed in : cd/home/david/Desktop/Downloads it said no such file or directory [03:41] skovoroda: it will ask you some questions . read them carefully before answering them [03:41] murlidhar: o i'll do [03:42] DavidCanarias: Try putting in a space after cd? [03:42] DavidCanarias, You need a space in between cd and /home/path/to/file/ [03:42] what is the shortkey to clear the desktop :) [03:42] like win+d in windows [03:42] how can I tell what package installed on my box relies on exim (also installed on my box... trying to figure out why) [03:43] skovoroda: clearing the desktop ? what is that ? [03:43] skovoroda, that's likely window manager specific [03:43] exodus_ms: tiyowan: Sorry - this is the reply now: david@david-desktop:~/Desktop/Downloads$ [03:43] he wants the effect of minimizing everything [03:43] oh [03:44] DavidCanarias, Okat, you are now in the /Downloads directory :) type ls -l hplip-2.8.10.run [03:44] how do i make intrepid find my webcam ? ( inbuilt on an acer aspire5670 laptop) [03:44] ice_cream: You mean like show desktop? [03:44] outboard: Is it supported? [03:44] tiyowan, that's how i understand it [03:44] skovoroda: in openbox it works with win+d [03:44] !hcl > outboard [03:44] outboard, please see my private message [03:44] ummmmmmmmmmm [03:44] murlidhar: Use kernel framebuffer [03:44] yes/no [03:44] skovoroda: yes [03:44] my firefox window is too large and doesn't have a resize button. when I click on it from the bottom panel it takes up the space above the panels and so it is the only thing i can see and does not have a button to minimize or maximize it. does anyone know how i can make it go back to normal size? [03:45] exodus_ms: this is the reply : -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 14699287 2008-12-08 17:30 hplip-2.8.10.run [03:45] ice_cream: Isn't there a nifty little icon in the bottom left to do that? ;-) [03:45] thanks tiyowan [03:45] i wouldnt know [03:45] as i said earlier, WM specific [03:46] ice_cream: Ah, true. [03:46] ubuntu is not necessarily gnome, remember =) [03:46] DavidCanarias, type sudo apt-get install hplip-gui === sean is now known as Guest63857 [03:46] fallore, alt-click drag it [03:46] DavidCanarias, then to configure the printer type sudo hp-setup [03:46] Hikefu: does nothing [03:46] outboard: do a lsmod in terminal and see if the drivers for the webcam has been loaded [03:46] outboard: nvm :) [03:47] how do I turn off CPU frequency scaling ? [03:47] DavidCanarias, But you will want your printer installed for the final steps of the setup. [03:47] node357: You running intrepid? [03:47] tiyowan, yes I am [03:47] didn't help [03:48] maybe the button just does not work [03:48] exodus_ms: Well this seemed to have worked as the window came up asking which to use, I said the USB and an error came up because the printer isnt connected [03:48] fallore alt-space-enter [03:48] DavidCanarias, Did you see my previous msg? [03:48] skovoroda: maybe you gotta restart . this is just one way to doing things . i am sure there are many but i don't know them . sorry . [03:48] is there a way to see all the output that has been displayed in my terminal? [03:48] DavidCanarias, That is not problem, just hang in there until your printer arrives and run the setup again :) [03:48] specifically, apt output that says "10 packages will be installed, 0 removed, 0 upgraded" etc? [03:49] exodus_ms: apologies saw it as I typed. I just wanted to get the drivers installed in advance. The printer wont be here for a few days. Does that mean I have to repeat this another day? [03:49] skovoroda: all the hardware of my desktop works by default ;) [03:49] tsrk: You mean save the output? do a "Command > out.txt" [03:49] node357: Hang on. [03:49] exodus_ms: Ok so I will have to take a copy of what to do then!! [03:49] murlidhar: thx, Now i'll try to start heroes 3 :)))))) [03:49] Hikefu: selecting resize/move from that menu in various ways does absolutely nothing [03:49] skovoroda: :) [03:49] schnauzer, sorry, I was unclear, I executed commands a while ago and I want to see the output now [03:50] node357: What CPU have you got? [03:50] are you using gnome? [03:50] murlidhar: och any way how to manage iso files in ubuntu [03:50] DavidCanarias, Yes, but it wont take very long to setup, you will need your printer installed for calibration... [03:50] tsrk: ohhh, in that case i [03:50] 'm afraid i don't know [03:50] DavidCanarias, Just remember sudo hp-setup [03:50] skovoroda: apt-cache search iso [03:50] ok [03:50] murlidhar: what is that :) [03:51] skovoroda: you will get some package list in the terminal . [03:51] exodus_ms: So I start from the cd/home directory part and follow as instructed by you: ls -- ls hplip etc., and then sudo apt-get install. Is that correct, with the printer connected of course? [03:51] i instaled wine, but what to do next, och ok [03:51] skovoroda: wait a sec i will make it easier for you [03:52] exodus_ms: Yes I forgot. Well then thanks a million for all your help youve been very kind I appreciate it. [03:52] murlidhar: i got that in last line python-vm-builder - VM builder [03:52] what do you use to look at power point pps ? cause when i use open office presentation it's really slow, and now i've used powerpoint viewer (Wine ) and my computer froze. Had to restart it ? [03:52] skovoroda: no don't do that [03:53] DavidCanarias, You will not need to be in any particular directory. The 'ls' was just so we could see any output from running the file. To setup up from your terminal just type gksudo hplip-gui [03:53] skovoroda: gmount-iso is the name of the application you require . it mounts iso imagess [03:53] !iso [03:53] 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. [03:53] Does anyone whether the i8kutils work on 9000 series Inspirons? I need to tweak my cpu fans. [03:53] exodus_ms: If I now only have to type in : gksudo hplip-gui then that should be quite easy!! [03:54] hi i need some help [03:54] mikeypizano, just ask a question :) [03:54] my touchpad how do i enable the soiftware one without xorg in 8,10? [03:54] DavidCanarias, yes, it is already installed. To run the setup type gksudo hp-setup, if it is a gui setup that is. If not, it is safe to just use sudo. [03:54] skovoroda: times up . i need to go . take cares buddy . [03:55] Anyone familiar with how to change the hot keys for vmware? I've been searching google for a few hours now and can't seem to figure out how to change the ctrl alt combo to release the window so I can login [03:55] i was metalslugear but i was logging in lol [03:55] tiyowan you there? [03:55] !touchpad [03:55] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [03:55] first time using xchat [03:55] where do I enter the server name? [03:55] jack, it wont work since mouse isnt in 8.10 xorg [03:55] that is why i came here to ask [03:55] DavidCanarias, In short, gksudo hplip-gui and gksudo hp-setup :) [03:56] mikeypizano sorry, that is the only link I have on that [03:56] murlidhar: thx ver much ! [03:56] couldnt you just link the driver to the pad? [03:56] !iso [03:56] 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. [03:56] err [03:56] dl* [03:56] guess ill have to see whats ober on the forums lol [03:56] what is mountpoint [03:56] DavidCanarias, got to go... good luck! [03:56] So have any suggestion for those pps [03:56] skovoroda It is whatever yo make it.. [03:56] i accidentally installed the i386 version of ubuntu...is there an easy way to go to x86_64 or do i need to reinstall again? [03:56] !mount [03:56] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [03:57] I have a machine that won't install/boot/etc.. with a ubuntu 8.10 cd. (It used to run Windows). Anyone know why it would go into the BusyBox prompt? [03:57] jimi__hendrix We strongly suggest new users go with 32 until they are up to speed [03:57] exodus_ms: Many thks again. Bye [03:57] I guess no one has experienced the problem I have [03:58] skovoroda: for example, I made a /media/iso folder and mount my images there. [03:58] thx guys [03:58] Then after mounting it - how can I instal it [03:58] Jack_Sparrow: define up to speed....i generally kknow what im doing on linux... [03:58] I'm off now too! As usual I solved my latest problem here. Thanks heavens for this Chat. Good luck to everyone. [03:59] jimi__hendrix Do you understand chroot and 32bit environments on a 64 bit box [03:59] skovoroda, What is it you are mounting? [03:59] !install > skovoroda [03:59] skovoroda, please see my private message [04:00] tiyowan you there? [04:00] i'm just training, now i want to mount heroes3 iso [04:00] Jack_Sparrow: no i do not because ive never had to do it when i used 64 bit :) [04:00] !chroot [04:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [04:01] Jack_Sparrow: thx [04:01] norcim122: How did it go? [04:01] can anyone help me with a partition resize [04:01] jimi__hendrix flash seems to also give 64's a few problems [04:01] skovoroda np [04:01] startx is not available [04:01] i have around 250 gb free and ubuntu ibex is on a 22 gb partition [04:01] norcim122: Hmm...dang. [04:01] i want that extra 250 on my ubuntu partition [04:02] plus i didn't have admin or root access [04:02] five_, have you considered a separate /home partition? [04:02] 2 homes? [04:02] well whats the advantages to 64bit? just over 4gb of ram? [04:02] but the error said that I should be able to fix a broken install from live cd [04:02] i would like to add to my one [04:02] five_ /home on its own partition [04:02] Just dont know where to start [04:02] five_, Is /home on the same partition as / ? [04:02] schnauzer: what all can i put in home and how big of partition should i make for it [04:03] yes home is on the 22gb part [04:03] norcim122: I'm out of suggestions. :( Perhaps the other folks here could help you out. Yeah, I just don't know the cmds. What I do know is you need to do something to the NFS server. [04:03] !home [04:03] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:03] thank you [04:03] np [04:03] Yes, getting access to the install is my first hurdle [04:03] Thanks anyway. [04:04] /quit [04:04] is there a way to determine OS similar to the whoami command in terminal? [04:04] If it helps I think the problem is caused by me messing with the bios.. Enabled SATA and disabled CD Rom [04:04] five_, it really helps if you accidentally make your system unbootable - that way you don't lose all your docs [04:05] gbarberi: lsb_release -a [04:05] lol wut?? [04:05] !version | gbear14275 [04:05] gbear14275: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [04:05] accidentally un bootable? [04:05] tiyowan: can you nudge someone who may help me? [04:05] i just deleted vista [04:05] five_: Good job [04:05] !unetbootin [04:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin [04:05] five_: Awesome! :D [04:05] lol yeah [04:05] Jack_Sparrow: does 64bit give anything other than more ram? [04:05] like if you make a mistake editing a configuration file, you can just reinstall Ubuntu [04:06] five_ You can also easily install a second ubuntu or any linux [04:06] ive been dualbooting vista nd ubuntu for a while [04:06] Hello [04:06] * Panarchy says Hi [04:06] norcim122: Just repeat your question and someone here should have some ideas. [04:06] jimi__hendrix Marginal speed improvement but hardly noticable for many [04:06] I can't seam to get my second display working In Ubuntu. I have a GeForce 9800GTX+ and th drivers are installed.... [04:06] jack_sparrow i just want one os and i chose to use ubuntu [04:06] Anyone else care to try this problem? [04:06] * schnauzer applauds five_ [04:06] tiyowan ok [04:06] How do I reset the gnome bar and panel to default configuration (so everything is like how it was when I first installed) [04:06] just updated to ibex [04:06] thank you rww [04:06] How do I reset the gnome bar and panel to default configuration (so everything is like how it was when I first installed) [04:06] five_ I keep a second clean ubuntu on the same drive for tinkering and experimenting [04:07] gbear14275: you're welcome :) [04:07] whats up all.. [04:07] anyway ill be back after i finish with this part so i can get my whole drive [04:07] ... [04:07] jimi__hendrix: 64-bit has more registers, but the ability of compilers to make use of them is iffy at best. You won't notice a speed difference for most desktop apps. The most noticeable things are less compatibility and bigger binaries. :( [04:07] ive done alot of tinkering with 2 ubuntus and one vista install [04:07] five_ I do it because i tend to be a bit... impulsive in my decisions... >.> [04:07] Need some help access a broken install from Live CD..anyone? [04:07] Panarchy To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ In terminal type: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [04:07] lol yeah, i had alot of probs with drivers at first :( [04:07] norcim122: What problems are you having? [04:07] but ive got it pretty much figured out now [04:08] ok let me explain [04:08] Jack_Sparrow, thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. There used to be one simple command to type into terminal [04:08] like gconfig reset [04:08] or something [04:08] and compiz beats the hell out of the resource hogging vista effects [04:08] vista sucks. [04:08] lol [04:08] yeah it does, xp was much better [04:08] anyone code? [04:08] idk wtf they were thinking [04:08] !ot [04:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:08] even bill gates said vista sucked [04:09] Panarchy: if you're worried about losing your configs, just rename or move the folders Jack_Sparrow mentioned [04:09] arrenlex the error message is: run-init: overmounting root: stale NFS file handle [04:09] No [04:09] I mean [04:09] vista drove me to delete windows [04:09] Swearing is not allowed even if it is shorthand.. thanks [04:09] There is an actualy command, something like gconfig-reset [04:09] that I was mentioned earlier on [04:09] ditto five [04:09] lol ill be back later [04:09] anyone know where I can find a good exim howto? I have a friend who setup our exim server and i'm having problems being able to connect to it, was hoping to be able to poke around and discover things like... my exim username [04:09] Like about a month ago on this channel [04:09] !lol [04:09] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [04:09] i love ubuntu.. [04:09] five_, BULL3T: please take your discussion of Windows to #ubuntu-offtopic or ##windows [04:09] Panarchy: I'm not sure then, I'm afraid. [04:09] arrenlex: when I boot into my usb presistent install I am directed into busybox shell [04:09] Oh [04:09] Okay [04:09] rww sure no problem [04:10] Well any risk in the rm one? [04:10] i never knew so many great programming apps were open source. [04:10] norcim122: You are unable to boot into the livecd at all? [04:10] Is there any risk in this one: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [04:10] ??? [04:10] Panarchy: you'll lose all your GNOME settings that way, not just the panel settings [04:10] no. I am in live cd but need to access my broken install on USB drive [04:10] Panarchy: You will lose all of your gnome settings. [04:10] Panarchy: No, all it's doing is removing your custom configuration files for GNOME. [04:11] Panarchy read the web page that was linked with it if you have any concern [04:11] arrenlex: norcim122's trying to fix a broken USB install of intrepid. [04:11] norcim122: By USB drive you mean an external hard drive? Or a USB stick? [04:11] Can't blame a guy for being careful with rm -rf though [04:11] It can be quite nasty. [04:11] arrenlex: stick [04:11] Hi. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu (8.10), and I am using 4 workspaces (2x2). I can jump from the top left to the bottom right in one move (ctrl+alt+down+right) but cannot do the reverse, bottom right to top left... is it not supposed to be able to? [04:11] Panarchy: try http://www.celsius1414.com/node/878 instead, perhaps? it seems to be more targeted [04:11] has anyone tried the new borderless linux distro? [04:11] !ot | BULL3T [04:11] BULL3T: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:12] !ot > BULL3T [04:12] BULL3T, please see my private message [04:12] norcim122: Ah, never messed around with installing to a usb stick. Sorry about that. [04:12] arrenlex: its in presistent mode of live CD [04:12] arrenlex I got through that obsticle after a while [04:12] arrenlex but this error is probably my messing with bios [04:13] arrenlex: I guess my question is how to I get into the broken install from a terminal from Live CD [04:14] norcim122: I haven't played with this functionality. I don't know anything about it. Sorry. [04:14] arrenlex Thats fine.. do you know any shell commands if my install was in a HD? [04:14] Guys [04:14] I did [04:14] rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [04:14] Nothings changed [04:15] Panarchy: log out and log back in? [04:15] How do I 'reload' the bars now [04:15] Anything I can do via command line? [04:15] Panarchy: or "killall gnome-panel" maybe [04:15] Panarchy: killall gnome-panel [04:15] ok [04:15] then how do I bring it back [04:15] it'll come [04:15] Panarchy: it should automatically come back [04:15] norcim122: Sure, if it was on an hd, just mount the partition and chroot into it. [04:15] mhm tell me please some one, ho to instal exe file in ubuntu [04:15] Okay [04:16] it came back [04:16] join #mediatomb [04:16] arrenlex can we try that?

[04:16] arrenlex: Could it be possible to run startx from the shell despite that NFS error? [04:17] #winehq [04:17] norcim122: When you tried to run startx, what did it tell you? [04:17] help [04:17] Okay, it came back, however there is no difference to the layout of the icons [04:17] :( [04:17] tiyowan: There is no display adapter from inside the chroot, what would you start X on?

[04:17] Gunawan: Go to http://www.homestarrunner.com and click the nice menu bar at the top. :) [04:18] thanks arrenlex [04:18] Gunawan: Install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package. "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" or find it and install it in Synaptic [04:18] arrenlex: I need to read my man pages. [04:18] Gunawan: Alternatively, if you want it available for all users and you want it automatically updated, install the flashplugin-nonfree package, but you will have to enable the multiverse repository I believe. [04:18] No difference [04:18] tried other themes as well [04:19] tiyowan that option is not available in busybox [04:19] What's not reverting; the panels, icons, colors,... [04:19] Panarchy what does from term lsb_release -a tell you [04:19] arrenlex I get this : /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/ubuntu [04:19] whats that compiz icon that lets you control compiz easily called again? [04:20] norcim122: Okay, chroot into that then. sudo chroot /media/ubuntu [04:20] jimi__hendrix, are you talking about compizconfig settings manager? [04:20] Any mplayer experts?

[04:22] if anyone here might be able to lend a hand with some simple exim help I would be really appreciative [04:23] arrenlex: with sudo chroot i get this chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [04:23] jimi__hendrix sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [04:23] !vpn > tj83 [04:23] norcim122: Ah, that's a totally different error.

[04:24] jimi__hendrix did you enable universe [04:24] norcim122: That wouldn't explain why /bin/bash would be missing... can you cd into /media/ubuntu, do an ls and tell me what directories are there?

[04:27] i remember it use to, was that problem fixed yet?

[04:31] you find a driver? [04:31] Question: I installed ibex using wubi, but every time I make an update, ubuntu freezes and reboots [04:31] What's up with that? [04:31] arrenlex no. The files i see are the same as the CD install files ..dist install pics pool etc [04:32] Somali-Pirate Please consider wubi is a test drive and not (in my opinion) for everyday use [04:32] norcim122: Ah, so it's nothing at all like a plain old hw install. Sorry man. [04:33] arrenlex its a usb presistent.. i guess everything is in casper-rw.. very large file [04:33] Jack_Sparrow: No, right, it WAS a test, but I want to know if it's fixable, otherwise I'll just do the real thing. [04:33] norcim122: It's probably a compressed archive (cpio I'm guessing) but there's nothing I can do to help you with that. Sorry. [04:33] arrenlex maybe we can look into casper-rw and how to get into it? [04:34] Somali-Pirate sorry, but I wont use it nor recommend it so I am not the person that can help untangle it [04:34] Jack_Sparrow: =/ [04:34] Jack_Sparrow: Aye, mate.

[05:01] gbear14275: what type of server are you connecting to? ssh, ftp, etc? [05:01] What's the average transfer speed (per second) of NFS? [05:02] Roasted: it's up to your network media [05:02] hey is there a program like ultra iso for Linux? [05:02] 大家好 [05:02] geenome: what does such a program do? [05:02] geenome, what does ultra iso do? [05:02] ssh, from ubuntu 8.10 to debian 4 [05:02] fr500 - I understand that, I'm talking in terms fo a typical 10/100 wired network. I'm curious on what kind of speeds you can expect in that scenario. [05:02] geenome: if you want to mount iso there is mount-iso [05:03] Anyone know how to setup Myth TV? [05:03] fr500, you don't need an app to mount an iso in linux [05:03] Guys I need you help. I've just got an old laptop (Asus A2H). I installed Fedora on it and the sound and LAN didn't work. So I popped XP on there and I managed to get sound after installing the appropriate drivers. But even with the drivers the LAN doesn't work. So this is my question: What should I do with this laptop? If I throw Ubuntu on it will the sound or ethernet work? [05:03] Roasted: I get 90% utilization on a 100mbps link eeeasy [05:03] histo: i know but it's a nice frontend [05:03] gbear14275: hmm. if you have admin access on the box, you could ssh into it from the terminal and copy the file somewhere you have access to as a regular user [05:03] ultra iso is a cool gui program that I can take files and make ISO images from them it is quite powerful [05:03] fr500 - what's that mean in terms of megabytes per second? [05:03] geenome, you can use dd and make iso's [05:03] Roasted: 90mbps [05:04] You can transfer 90MB/second???? [05:04] !iso | geenome [05:04] geenome: 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. [05:04] Roasted: megabit [05:04] not megabyte [05:04] ohhhhh [05:04] which concerts to how many megabytes...? [05:04] gbear14275: but i don't think there's a way of doing something like that from inside Nautilus, no. [05:04] LeviTheSmith: boot the laptop with the ubuntu desktop cd and see if it works [05:04] I need to make ISOs not mount them lol [05:04] Roasted: divide by 8 [05:04] but ty for the info [05:04] ah okay, so you're pulling like 11.25 megabytes/second... okay... [05:04] geenome, hold up let me get you way to make the iso [05:04] Roasted: 11ish [05:04] yes [05:05] I'm running Samba, and I'm pulling an average of 7.5 a second. [05:05] rww: ok... i'm not very effiecient with terminal commands yet and would prefer to be able to use nautilus to browse remotely but if I can't upgrade my permissions then I might be out of luck [05:05] Roasted: seems normal though depends on you hdd speeds too! [05:05] Thing is, when I trasnfer files windows xp to windows xp (wired desktops) I also get 7.5 megabytes a second. [05:05] gbear14275: i'm not sure that sftp supports sudo, hence nautilus not supporting it [05:05] so I guess my speeds are pretty decent then? [05:05] yes [05:05] how do i go about updating nmap to the new version [05:06] sounds good, thanks for the info! [05:06] Roasted: well i moved to glusterfs for server storage aggregation, now I get those speeds too [05:06] fr500 - "those speeds" meaning 7.5? [05:06] yes [05:06] rww: is there a way to open nautilus from a terminal window which has already logged into the box? [05:06] ah, good stuff [05:06] geenome, there are some gui apps for doing it such as gnome-baker and k3b I think k3b is a favorite . But if you check the forums or ask for burning applications there are plenty. [05:06] I know DD but I cant simply edit what is inside the ISO or take files and put them in [05:06] or... something along that route? [05:06] Roasted: there is always some overhead and the switches involved do help [05:06] Is there an Ultra compressed Ubuntu ISO? I've been hitting the downloads pretty heavy the past couple of days. I don't mean one with less features, I mean one that's been compressed to hell. [05:07] and I am not trying to burn the ISO either >.< [05:07] fr500 - yeah, I'm running a small 10/100 5 port Netgear switch... Certainly not top notch. [05:07] geenome, you can use the archive manager to open iso's [05:07] LeviTheSmith: no it's already compressed actually [05:07] geenome, you should be able to just double click on them. [05:07] connected to a catalyst 2924 i used to get 6ish but the switch was dying, now with 2960s it's pretty snappy [05:07] Perhaps if I dumped some money in a router with gigabit ports + my switch here with some gigabit ports I'd swing some hefty numbers. [05:07] gbear14275: you probably could, but it'd be much less efficient than just learning the command line. something along the lines of X11 forwarding, but then the server would have to support that too... [05:07] :( dang [05:07] is it possible to get skype to work with pulseaudio? [05:07] But my speeds are good for what I need. I just wanted to know if the speedsI got were normal or not. That was really all I needed. :) [05:07] geenome, you may just want ot check out k3b [05:07] Roasted: you would get maybe 300mbps at most [05:08] !k3b | geenome [05:08] geenome: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [05:08] with Ultra ISO I can edit the boot tables, I can edit the file contents without effecting the rest of the ISO and can manipulate them so that I can use them in a CD presser [05:08] Roasted: with commodity hardware at least === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [05:08] how do you think about SMPlayer? [05:08] I know K3B [05:08] geenome, i'm sure you can probably do that with k3b you might also be able to just run ultraiso with wine [05:08] !wine | geenome [05:08] geenome: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [05:09] Wine just crashes honestly is there anyone else who may know [05:09] fr500 - question... I live at home, and we have a router + switch. The switch is mine, since I have several test computers. If I upgraded my switch to a gigabit switch, then anything I transfer to other computers on the switch would be gigabit... right? Or would the information have to go up to the router too? (which would limit to 100mbps) [05:09] ty histo [05:09] your input was greatly valued [05:10] hi, i'm having difficulty's whit graphics, like video, dioparama etc. But only under Ubuntu, not under win..Could you suggest me somthing for trouble shoothing ? [05:11] geenome, np [05:12] geenome, just found another application kiso [05:12] !suspend command line [05:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:13] Roasted, switches are smart routers arent' [05:13] Roasted, actually other way around routers are more sofisticated then switches but man i'm tired. [05:14] I am liking KDE more and more ty [05:14] thats exactly what I am looking for [05:14] Roasted, if both pcs are directly connected to the switch then it shouldnt' be a problem. [05:14] histo, (switches are smart hubs, ;-) ) [05:14] geenome, well you can run those apps in gnome. [05:14] Anacranom, I know I ddin't mean what i typed fat fingers. [05:14] does Jaunty Jackalope have support for two monitors, with one monitor rotated 90 degrees ? [05:15] no switches are vpn servers hubs are simply a ring bus [05:15] teratoma, ask in #ubuntu+1 [05:15] im using Wubi.. Iso image.. but still its downloading the data from internet.. why? [05:15] histo, i know bro, tired here too [05:15] okay, thanks histo! [05:15] have a good night! [05:15] hai [05:15] StormAtRest, are you installing? [05:15] When will Python 2.6.x and 3.0.y be packaged and get into the repositories? [05:15] hey guys, im still havint the problem of my wireless going out on my after i start a torrent download.... i lose the connection, and need to reboot in order to get it back, anyone have any ideas? [05:16] StormAtRest: put the .iso file in the same folder as the Wubi .exe. If you have already, and it's downloading an amd64 iso, start Wubi with the "--32bit" argument. [05:16] a hub and a switch are so completely not the same thing histo it is like comparing apples to oranges [05:16] When will Python 2.6.x and 3.0.y be packaged and get into the repositories? [05:16] aight.. thanx [05:16] amikrop: it won't [05:16] hubs are best used in a network where the OS is the same throughout and the computers act as their own servers [05:16] geenome, no a hub is stupid compaired to s switch and a router is more sophisticated then either of them. [05:16] the switch is the server [05:16] amikrop: after release we only see bug fixes and security updates [05:16] hai [05:16] ardchoille: So, in 9.04? [05:17] and a hub has its merits [05:17] geenome, hubs have no software routing etc... Hardware handles the routing of traffic. [05:17] amikrop: 9.04 might have it [05:17] guys how can I configure my video card in ubuntu? [05:17] anyhoot discusion for a different channel. [05:17] which slows things down if you were making say a beuwulf cluster [05:17] how can I disable CPU frequency scaling in Intrepid ? [05:17] xorgsetup or xorgconfig is not available :( [05:17] hey guys, im still havint the problem of my wireless going out on my after i start a torrent download.... i lose the connection, and need to reboot in order to get it back, anyone have any ideas? [05:17] you can only make a beuwulf cluster with a hub [05:17] how do i enable opengl [05:17] why is yoyo attempting to dcc with me? [05:18] <_cb> I don't have sound but if I log onto another account there is sound so it has to be a setting that applies to me. Where do I look? (Volume is turned up) [05:18] a switch or a router are too smart and try to treat each computer as different computers [05:18] ops [05:18] ardchoille: Is there any .deb for them? [05:18] with a beuwulf cluster you can treat 4 computers running linux like one computer [05:18] !ot | geenome [05:18] geenome: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:19] amikrop: you can check, but I wouldn't install anything outside the repos - but that's just me. [05:19] its again doing the same.. i placed wubi and the iso in the same folder. [05:19] node357, you can reconfigure gnome-applets and use that to control scaling [05:19] I was supporting rww [05:19] node357, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets when it asks you should the selecter get root priveleges tell it yes. [05:20] geenome.. its still downloading from internet. [05:20] ardchoille: I quite agree. [05:20] node357, then you can add the frequency scaler to your panel and adjust all sorts of options. [05:20] amikrop: one of the reasons Ubuntu has always been super stable for me :) [05:21] histo, thank you! [05:21] Does anyone know where I can find documentation on HAL FDI files? [05:21] node357, np [05:21] nex3, google [05:21] ardchoille: As stable as Debian testing. [05:21] histo: I've tried, without much luck [05:22] histo, an immediate improvement in performance :) [05:22] Oh, wait, there's a handbook [05:22] nex3, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948154 [05:22] node357, at the cost of battery [05:23] Is there a script which tries to guess X configuration information? My xorg.conf does have any input sections and using dpkg to reconfigure the xserver isn't helping [05:23] histo, this is a desktop machine so it's good... but I can see how the scaling would be great for a laptop [05:23] jhelmus, what is the problem? [05:23] hey guys, i have ubuntu 8.04. I've been trying to get my broadcom wireless to work using ndiswrapper, i've followed all the instructions on the website but I still have yet to get it to work. I tried blacklisting the drivers that apparently prevent it from working but so far i've had no success. Any ideas? [05:23] histo, anyway I'll shut up now. thanks for the help ! [05:23] node357: if you want frequency scaling gone forever, disable or remove powernowd :) [05:24] node357, yeap. You might want to disable it completely then if its a desktop machine some searching on the forums will show you how. [05:24] histo: Thanks [05:24] node357, there you go rww solution should work. Couldn't remember the naem of it. [05:24] nex3, np [05:24] Does anyone haveexperiance working with torrents. As in posting one somehow, since I want to upload the Beta of my OS which is Ubunut based [05:24] ? [05:24] histo: I get to the gdm login but my mouse and keyboard don't respond, so I have to dump mysel to a shell using Alt+F1 [05:24] How'd you find it? [05:24] garrettk88: have you tried just using the restricted drivers manager??? System > Administration Hardware Drivers [05:24] thank you rww and histo [05:24] node357: you're welcome. glad to help; i know how frustrating powernowd is >.> [05:25] jhelmus, have they ever worked on this machine? [05:25] histo, nope, I'm trying to install openbox off a minimal server install [05:25] WIGGMPk -- Thanks, i'll give that a shot (im new to linux btw) [05:26] jhelmus, hrm... did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure ? [05:26] Oh, and what is a minimal Server Install, just the standard Server install disk? [05:26] garrettk88: np, my other laptop has a broadcom wireless card and Ubuntu was able to pick it up and install the drivers via the restricted drivers manager [05:26] histo, yup, put it doesn't seem to ask enough, it stops after I tell it what keyboard I have [05:27] jhelmus, yeah what else do you want to add? [05:27] minimal server install is whatever is on the alternative Xubuntu CD (I assumed all the minimal installs were the same) [05:27] That isn't server though, is it? [05:28] jhelmus, yes then did you install the X core packages? [05:28] histo, well I would like at least my keyboard added, which isn't, and the mouse [05:28] Does anyone haveexperiance working with torrents. As in posting one somehow, since I want to upload the Beta of my OS which is Ubunut based? [05:28] alex_21: which torrent client are you using? [05:28] None at the moment [05:28] But it has to be GNome [05:29] deluge works good for me sudo apt-get deluge [05:29] I want to do like the guys at Ubuntu do and offer the distro in a torrent [05:29] I'm having limited success finding a solution. My Qt4 apps (such as VLC) have nasty looking fonts. My font settings in gnome is set to LCD subpixel smoothing [05:29] loll my chair just broke. [05:29] guys have any idea about the favicon in the window [05:29] I did a apt-get xorg xterm gdm openbox obconf, with all the suggested deps [05:29] wish i had a webcam going [05:29] outlaw1: Is that for me? [05:30] jhelmus, I can't htink of any scripts that do it. [05:30] what ? [05:30] deluge? [05:30] torrent [05:30] outlaw1: Yes [05:30] is there a standard xorg.conf file for reference somewhere? [05:30] alex_21: okay, let's go with transmission then. Install it, open it, do Torrent > New, put the file you're torrenting in Source, add a tracker in Trackers. [05:30] hwo does Firefox display a favicon in the window [05:30] oh yeah...............deluge works better for me than transmission, which is the one ubuntu comes with [05:31] i enabled the restricted wireless drivers but still, my wireless card isn't found [05:31] alex_21: the instructions are probably similar for deluge and most other clients [05:31] Oh, so it doen't even need to be in the Liux version of Transmition [05:31] :/ === mom is now known as errrr [05:31] i need help getting a logitech quickcam working [05:31] alex_21: nope, most bittorrent clients can do it [05:31] it will let you manually set ports to where in transmission i couldnt get good speeds and i dont think it lets you manually set ports. but not sure [05:31] jhelmus, you should just need xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common === errrr is now known as random_soslw [05:31] guys favicon ...anyone know anything about favicon [05:31] sleepy_cat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon [05:32] why wont ubuntu recognize DVD+RW ?

[05:32] <_cb> I don't have sound but if I log onto another account there is sound so it has to be a setting that applies to me. Where do I look? (Volume is turned up) [05:33] Then what happens to my .tor file. I mean how do I get it going [05:33] ? [05:33] just trying to get the fonts of VLC to match the fonts in the rest of my desktop [05:33] is it possible to hook up another hardrive and burn the files directly there? [05:33] alex_21: your client will sit there seeding the file, and you distribute the created .torrent file to people who want to download [05:33] !find libuuid jaunty [05:33] Found: libuuid-perl, libuuid1, libuuid1-dbg, libuuidm-ocaml-dev [05:34] Does anyone know how to set control+click to be right click for a MacBook running Intrepid?

[05:35] no hold on [05:35] I got the link but i want to know how doe the web browser know abt the favicon [05:35] and how does it display them [05:35] besides the link in the address bar [05:36] <_cb> alex_21 I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and issue persists. Am thinking about doing a clean install for 8.1 but don't want to have to redo evolution settings.

[05:37] abouche2: try this "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [05:37] jhelmus: does pressing ctrl+alt+f2 put you in a terminal? [05:37] alt f2 [05:37] nex3: No, but as a work around use "SHFT" + "F10" [05:37] i installed flash and the terminals says it there but firfox doesn;t whats wrong [05:38] alex_21: I'd rather just do the two-finger tap, if I have to [05:38] So does that mean there's no way, or you don't know of a way? [05:38] Can I use the ubuntu CD to mount and unmount my disks, do some moving around, pre-install?? [05:38] + USB [05:38] arrenlex, gets me to a shell, I have a shell, just dpkg-reconfigure left xorg.conf in terrible shape [05:38] If so... where is the hardware browser? [05:38] abouche2: lol forget that.. i dont know why I was thinking java there for a sec [05:38] jhelmus: If you have a shell, you can restart X by issuing sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [05:39] how do i make it so a file isn't readonly [05:39] arrenlex, right thanks [05:39] Using packages.ubuntu.com I could not find the package ubuntu-system-panel. Where is this to be found? [05:39] nex3: There is a way, but I am blind and therefore don't use the mouse/trackpad under anything except Mac OS X, where I catually can. BTW: How is your configuration set up as far as partitioning? [05:39] jhelmus: I assume you'll want to edit your file before you do that though... you know your way around nano or vi or something? [05:39] i used chmod 755 but I still can't write to it [05:39] abouche2: try this: "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [05:40] WIGGMPk: he's gone, says he'll fix it in the morning [05:40] jedi06: Then you don't own it. sudo chown yourusername:yourusername file [05:40] abouche2: it may be helpful to try this url in firefox: about:plugins [05:40] ardchoille: grr, left while I was typing lol.. thanks for letting me know [05:40] alex_21: I've got OSX installed as the primary partition and Linux installed as the secondary [05:40] WIGGMPk: protip: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [05:40] arrenlex, yup I should be able to put things back into shape now [05:40] Where did the hardware browser go in Ubuntu??

I was just saying hi during a lull. [05:53] arrenlex: hi ;) [05:53] ...

I played around with using Edubuntu, but until VIPbuntu is finished I'l stick to OSX, and besides, OSX has unmatched accessibility. [05:55] gxine > totem [05:55] alright... [05:55] - in my opinion anyhow. easier to play DVDs [05:55] ben_: What problem are you having?

Does it resolve if you set totem to use alsa for output [05:59] ? [06:00] nex3: 1. a screen reader that actually works like the sighted use a computer. 2.

[06:28] ping crimsun [06:29] hey all [06:30] hey small thing. when I type in ~ in terminal it changes it to /home/chris - is there anyway I can change it so it just shows ~ ? [06:30] Hi all, for some reason a few of my windows lose their title bar and when i maximize them they turn black....i'm running compiz on the latest stable kernel with an nvidia card....any ideas? [06:31] the whole files getting shuffled across annoys me :/ [06:31] and i'm sure there's a simple fix [06:31] * Panarchy sends Greetings [06:31] but i couldn't find anywhere in .bashrc where it changes this... [06:31] is ram handled differently in linux than in windows because in the windows world, the more ram the better (8 gigs is sweet) here it seems people do not see a need for more than 2gigs [06:31] Tyrath, use \~ === doorknob60 is now known as door === door is now known as doorknob60 [06:31] Hi, I'm wondering what apt command (command line) I can use to tell me what version is in the repository? [06:32] joeb3_: but what I was asking was if there was any way that I could stop it changing ~ to /home/user when I click tab [06:32] Or to print the repository information? [06:32] i cant believe how nice this xunbutu is [06:32] <[FLyIRc]> http://geocities.com/awing_flyirc/FLyIRc.zip [06:32] joeb3_: but I'll keep that in mind if that's a fix [06:32] Babbelaar: Depends on what you do. You just need enough ram to not swap. If you don't swap it doesn't matter how much you have. [06:32] I can find ffmpeg binary in repo but not source. How can I get the source for that binary? [06:32] joeb3_: thanks [06:32] I just noticed that Dapper is LSB-certified. Is there any chance that Canonical is looking at getting 8.04 certified, as well? [06:32] and to think iv spent the last 6 years using kde [06:32] Babbelaar: If you are editing pictures or video a lot, more is better. [06:32] Hi, I'm wondering what apt command (command line) I can use to tell me what version is in the repository? Or if there is a command to 'print' what repository it's going to get the package from? [06:33] Babbelaar: Other than that, I am a heavy user but I have never needed more than a gig. [06:33] Babbelaar-> are you on 64bits? [06:33] arrenlex, swapping is a constant procedure on any modern Virtual Memory kernel [06:33] I am between systems, this is my notebook [06:33] tenex: Why would it swap if lots of ram is available? [06:33] even without a swap slice/partition, swapping occurs within the binary executable [06:33] I plan on doing music creation though [06:33] arrenlex, pagefaults occur constantly, it's part of healthy operation of a virtual memory OS [06:33] does anyone here dual boot ? i was just wondering why some one would do that ? [06:33] I am thinking of using either ubuntu or suse (jacklab) [06:34] if you prefer DOS and linear memory management, then your argument makes sense [06:34] tenex: But does it have to hit the disk to handle them? [06:34] arrenlex, not in every case [06:34] but if I go with a 32 bit linux I may be limited to 4 gig (unless I replace the kernel) [06:34] but it *will* hit the disk, regardless of RAM [06:34] but that may mean that I cannot use an rt kernel which defeats the point [06:34] Using packages.ubuntu.com I could not find the package ubuntu-system-panel. Where is this to be found? [06:34] so, it's always best to have as much RAM as possible. However, RAM doesn't defeat the natural operation of the kernel's memory management [06:35] and part of that includes virtual memory (and swapping to disk, even when RAM is available) [06:35] dewa [06:35] if that swap slice/partition is defeated, it will swap to the executable [06:35] hi! i have these errors driving me crazy: Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] [06:35] <[FLyIRc]> http://geocities.com/awing_flyirc/FLyIRc.zip [06:36] anyone know what the problem is: my sources.list is here: http://pastebin.com/m59de1767 [06:36] what e-mail client would you recommend for GNOME???

[06:48] zedster-> unless you can write your own http client [06:48] does anyone know how to add a new software on ubuntu packages? [06:48] zedster: well you could write a script I guess to load the same page and sleep 10 I guess [06:48] zedster-> or use the java tools to do it for you using http client api [06:48] so that is i use "apt-get install foobar", the software foobar will install.

[06:51] let's say i updated the sources.list and still foobar is not on the install list, how can someone add it there? [06:52] peeps_-> can you repeat the issue? what was the problem again? [06:52] hello, I have kernel panic [06:52] in 7.10, every time I turn it on it rewrites the menu.lst with the wrong information, the wrong partition number and the wrong root UUID. How do I make it stop rewriting this file [06:52] please, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/82829/ [06:52] I've heard that I can use the recovery kernel [06:52] but how to do that? [06:52] my firefox browser is missing the topmost bar which contains the title, maximize, minimize and close buttons. it won't let me resize it and when i have it in focus it is above the top and bottom panels. this may have happened when I switched to 1650x1080 (or whatever) resolution but i'm not sure. how can i fix this? [06:53] binarymutant: sorry to be a newbie, but what is the bash equivalent of goto? so in basic it would be 10:lynx url 20: sleep 10 30: goto 10 [06:53] creek23-> then it does not exist in the official repositories ..nothing much you can do but find another repository that have it [06:53] demonspork: It rewrites that file based on the single-comment configuration options. Look into changing your #groot line to the correct partition to make it rewrite properly. [06:53] fallore: Restart X and see if the problem is still there afterward. [06:53] can somebody see if they can play this ''listen live'' link on this website and if so tell me what player your using www.wndb.am i know it's a mms protocol. thanks in advance [06:53] corinth: it persists.

[06:54] fallore: hold alt and click anywhere to drag the window up until you see the bottom, then try to resize [06:54] peeps_-> and you just want to add another partition to be mounted at boot?

[06:55] CyBurnett: yeah i'm having same issue myself [06:55] CyBurnett-> how are you mounting it now? whats your command?

[06:57] peeps_-> not really, it has to be done manually [06:57] I mean to change the screen configuration [06:58] fallore, to change the frequences and type of monitor [06:58] sarana_monk: do you have an nvidia card? [06:58] I can't compile the linux-2.6.27.8 kernel on my ubuntu 8.10. always enter the initramfs shell. Why? even I use the default config: config-2.6.27.10-generic. [06:58] fallore: hide the top panel! [06:58] no, I have an old graphics card [06:58] comp6: how? [06:58] CyBurnett-> doing a tutorial on linux is really helpful, if you want to be specific, look for mounting file system tutorials [06:59] rigth klik top panel & hide it [06:59] oh, comp6, it doesn't matter, because the FF window goes over the top panel. if the top bar exists it is above the range of the screen, and it won't let me resize or move it. [06:59] carrot9-> what? you meant your compiled kernel does a kernel panic when you boot? [06:59] sarana_monk: you can do gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually do it, srry for the lack of real help but it's the only way I know how to [06:59] n8tuser, where do I find the tutorials? are they on a website? [07:00] outlaw1, getting a 404 not found [07:00] hey everyone [07:00] you sure this listen live thing works in windows? [07:00] CyBurnett-> maybe its quickest if you can do a search via goggle [07:00] how can I connect to a wireless network invisibly [07:00] google* [07:00] I'm wondering...has anyone heard of a program for ubuntu that is a kind of a random alerting program? [07:00] binarymutant, heh, that I have heard so many times - xorg [07:00] n8tuser: yes, enter a shell for /dev/diskbyuuid/ff0..... missing. But the disk_uuid works on 8.10 default kernel. [07:00] n8tuser, Ok thanks for your help :-) [07:00] mochabcha: Do you mean without the Network Manager configuration? [07:00] mochabcha-> i dont see you, you are invisibly connected... :P [07:00] binarymutant, but this is very strange, on computers that work well the xorg.conf is absolutely empty [07:00] jtaji: thanks for the link. [07:01] CyBurnett: yeah, google works wonders with ubuntu, just do "ubuntu + *task*" or whatever, and it always finds what you're looking for [07:01] binarymutant, there must be some other configuration file, I am sure [07:01] ice_cream: thanks, i thought it might of been banshee or my system because i havent been able to stream for day now . so that's good new i guess ............thanks again ! [07:01] n8tuser: yes [07:01] sarana_monk: it can't be empty, or else you wouldn't have an gui [07:01] you can see my computer connected to the network [07:01] n8tuser: sorry, you CAN'T see my computer connected to the network [07:01] mylisto: Can you be any less specific? = p [07:01] n8tuser: I compiled the kernel 3 times, even I do the config file default(unedited). [07:01] sarana_monk: it used to be called xfree86.conf or something, could have been that [07:01] sarana_monk: you simply typed the file wrong, happened to me a lot [07:01] aarenlex: probably :) [07:01] outlaw1, yea, not the protocol, as i can play the stuff here http://vas.calsvideo.arizona.edu/webcast_help.htm [07:02] with vlc for example [07:02] sarana_monk: it might help to paste the command you are entering here [07:02] binarymutant, I work with vim - and all the lines start with _ [07:02] carrot9-> same configure file from /boot ? [07:02] I need a program that will either set off an audio alert/possiby visual alert like "custom message here" [07:02] n8tuser: yes, copy config-2.6.27.10-genric from /boot [07:02] sarana_monk: As of ibex, most computers can run without an xorg.conf at all because the X server handles its own configuration [07:02] * ice_cream nods [07:03] n8tuser: maybe the disk_uuid not supplied by ubuntu kernel config file? [07:03] what's ibex? [07:03] ice_cream: yeah I e-mailed the station and they said that nothing has changed so that made me wonder. but I can stream it from windows which doesnt make any sense to me [07:03] my firefox browser is missing the topmost bar which contains the title, maximize, minimize and close buttons. it won't let me resize it and when i have it in focus it is above the top and bottom panels. this may have happened when I switched to 1650x1080 (or whatever) resolution but i'm not sure. how can i fix this? [07:03] binarymutant: The current version of ubuntu. 8.10 -- intrepid ibex [07:03] hmm [07:03] i dont know then [07:03] sarana_monk: yeah, but that requires monitors that send out, i think they're called, eeid's or something [07:03] arrenlex: see, I install the Ubuntu in a computer school here in Sri lanka, and already two or three computers are done and the xorg.conf is empty [07:03] hi, i have a dell laptop with the factory defaults...i just did a clean wipe using the dd command of my windows boot partition using the ubuntu live cd....is there a way to restore the original dell image after this? i can't seem to able to access the 'advanced boot menu' as per their manual when pressing F8 during bootup! [07:03] I'm on jaunty and it has an xorg.conf... [07:03] carrot9-> and once you compile the new kernel did you copy the vmlinuz and the other supporting files to the proper directories? i think make install target would do it for you, noh? [07:04] sarana_monk: so it can set the right resoltutions and frequencies, etc... [07:04] n8tuser: I do the make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers. I think it would install them by default? [07:04] n8tuser: and dpkg -i *.deb [07:04] rdw200169, yeah, after the basic installation of Ubuntu, the GUI starts smoothly [07:05] can you use newsgroups in evolution??? [07:05] rdw200169, but after update it does not. I didnt download any drivers, nothing [07:05] ok, I got an ubuntu server install running xen. not sure what verison of ubuntu (where can I check this?).. I originally installed the system on a intel g31 chipset with an ati hd3650 video card. now I want to remove the video card and the system hangs on boot [07:05] rdw200169, and if I kill the gdm in the command prompt and write: gdm , it starts in a nice, good mode [07:05] carrot9-> i dont know if that is the new style now, umm you didnt do the normal make target commands? [07:05] n8tuser: u think I must copy the vmlinuz file ? [07:05] I can get past the hang by hitting crtl-alt-del, but it refuses to let me write to the filesystem [07:06] rdw200169, so the GUI works and Ubuntu recongizes well all the video settings, but it claims that this is only a low graphical mode and doesnot want to start this way automaticaly [07:06] can't you install a command line system with the alternate iso any more? [07:06] sarana_monk: wait, so the first time gdm runs, it's in 'safe mode', then the second it's OK? [07:06] ... so how to explain him, that I am more then happy with the low graphical mode? [07:07] carrot9-> i dont have access to my notes on compiling a kernel anymore, so am a bit rusty in trying to remember the step by steps processes [07:07] sarana_monk: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg? [07:07] binarymutant: that doesn' twork any more, the low graphics issue doesn't resolve itself b/c it doesn't ask for resolution information anymore [07:07] yo [07:07] rdw200169, no, the first time it stops on blue screen with white window saying: xserver cannot start. In details is: no screens found [07:07] n8tuser: And I have be compiling the kernel cost 4.3GB free harddisk space. It's right? [07:07] sarana_monk: ah, got it. [07:07] On 8.10, google Earth displays incorrectly - some characters are missing from text. [07:08] Must be an OpenGL problem with my i965 card. [07:08] I don't have any explanation or workaround. [07:08] Any idea? [07:08] rdw200169, so I go to virtual console, login and kill the gdm. Then I start the gdm again and it allows me to go to GUI in low graphical mode [07:08] nvm I found it have to hit F4 at the boot screen [07:08] sarana_monk: don't feel too bad, many, many, many people are experiencing low graphics due to the X.Org update [07:08] carrot9-> i dont think so, but you can make clean afterwards to clean up those spaces [07:08] rdw200169, and the low graphical mode is so perfect, I cant ever blame, really. But how to explain him that I am satisfied with it? [07:08] sarana_monk: but the X.Org crash, I don't know [07:08] n8tuser: thanks. I'll try again. ^_^ [07:09] rdw200169, see, this "low graphical mode" is so great, I am frank, really. What to do so that he starts automatically in it? [07:09] sarana_monk-> explain him? who is him? [07:09] sarana_monk: y'know, since you did a distribution upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, you may be able to save the X.Org config file [07:10] sarana_monk: honestly, i don't know, X.Org is so touchy [07:10] Alright, so. I'm having trouble getting connected to my wifi network on my PC. I can view the available networks, but can't connect to them. Help? [07:10] sarana_monk-> xorg.conf is generated (read the file itself) via # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using [07:10] # values from the debconf database. [07:11] rdw200169, do you read what I write? The saved xorg.conf is empty [07:11] corinth: have you tried sudo etc/init.d/networking restart [07:11] sarana_monk: it's important, though, to know why it doesn't start right, i'm assuming you've checked /var/log for reasons for the initial crash? [07:11] rdw200169, Ubuntu doesnt care about any xorg.conf, it is different... :( [07:11] corinth-> your own AP? or your neighbors? am having problem using my neighbors too :P [07:11] sarana_monk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get a new one [07:11] n8tuser: Mine. [07:11] sarana_monk: i'm talking about a file under a different extension, like xorg.conf.Dist-Upgrade-save or something like that [07:11] a new one to edit* [07:11] My neighbours put a password on theirs after a while :( jerks [07:11] outlaw1: I'll try that. [07:12] sarana_monk: no, if you actually put the file back, it will read it [07:12] can i get themes for ubuntu [07:12] arrenlex: that's what aircrack-ng is for [07:12] !theme | sleepy_cat [07:12] sleepy_cat: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [07:12] sarana_monk: it just doesn't *need* it anymore [07:12] binarymutant, this I tried already two times. It configures only the keyboard. it doesnt work. [07:12] sarana_monk: yeah but afterwards you'll have the file, so you can manually edit it [07:13] anyone noticed newly appeared hardy/intrepid desktop in the network which is flooding ARP packets to destination 00:00:00:00:00:00 ? (it seems to be caused by gnome networkmanager) [07:13] outlaw1: Didn't work. [07:13] car [07:13] Is there any termianl type theme for firefox? [07:14] sarana_monk: i agree w/ binarymutant, not on the point that, if you go back to using xorg.conf, then you can manually specify whatever you want, even the 'safe mode' settings you're currently using [07:14] my firefox browser is missing the topmost bar which contains the title, maximize, minimize and close buttons. it won't let me resize it and when i have it in focus it is above the top and bottom panels. this may have happened when I switched to 1650x1080 (or whatever) resolution but i'm not sure. how can i fix this? [07:14] ok, Ill check the xorg files there [07:14] sarana_monk: are you working with /etc/x11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf (notice the upper-case X) ? the latter is the correct file [07:14] sarana_monk: *on the point that* [07:14] corinth: apparently your pc picks it up if your showing networks. have you used iwconfig to see if you show wireless extension ? [07:14] outlaw1: Let me try. [07:14] ardchoille, I am in the /etc/X11/xorg.file [07:15] ๏̯͡๏﴿ [07:15] outlaw1: What should it show? It shows information for wlan0 [07:15] rdw200169, the latest there is no insteresting info. In that xorg.conf file there is written : default, default, default (for everything) [07:15] fallore: 1680x1050? [07:15] sarana_monk: yea [07:15] corinth: is that the only one, and what card are you using ? [07:16] corinth: should show mac address, ip address, etc if connected and up and running [07:16] Hey, there are programs in which non-textbox text (such as menus and buttons) doesn't show for me, I read that I can use fusion icon to switch to metacity and that does help, but the text still doesn't show itself well, it's overlapping and some of it isn't readable, what more can I do? [07:16] sarana_monk: there isn't another file in that directory under a similar name, like i mentioned, or is that the one you're referring to ? [07:16] rdw200169, I tried to make it work, so I did mv xorg.conf.backup (or like that) xorg.conf and restart - still didnt work [07:16] sarana_monk: now under device put driver "ati" <- or whatever video driver and it should be great [07:17] binarymutant, ok, Ill try it ... brb [07:17] outlaw1: It shows "no wireless extensions" for lo, eth0, and pan0. I'm using a Netgear WG111v3 [07:18] sarana_monk: if it doesn't work pastebin your xorg.conf so we can see it [07:18] binarymutant: why not just restore the pre-upgrade xorg.conf? [07:19] rdw200169: idk [07:19] that works too :) [07:19] corinth: try this , do a '' ifconfig wlan0 up '' ( without quotes) then the sudo etc/init.d/networking restart again [07:20] anybody know where ubuntu expects to find krb5.keytab? [07:20] corinth: also do a '' lspci'' and see if it shows your card in the list somewhere [07:20] hello: is there an application for ubuntu that supports Microsoft "HD Photo" images? [07:21] what's the fridge? [07:21] corinth: as long as it's a pci card ................if it's a usb do a '' lsusb'' and see if it shows it in that list [07:21] freetown: i don't know a whole lot about kerberos, but you could start in the /etc/default directory, and see if there's a config file in there related to kerberos [07:21] freetown: 'locate krb5' in a terminal [07:21] k... [07:21] thnx [07:21] yw [07:22] I found it using lsusb [07:22] I'll be back in a bit to continue, if you're here. Afk. :-/ [07:22] corinth: ok [07:23] bah...nothing in /etc/default or from locate [07:23] freetown: i have it in /usr/lib/krb5 i believe [07:23] freetown: what are you looking for? [07:23] oh, ok [07:23] i dont know what it even is though lol [07:24] ardchoille, where to put krb5.keytab [07:24] ardchoille, apparently /etc ain't it [07:24] you might have to update the database freetown 'sudo updatedb' [07:24] then rerun locate [07:24] Hey, there are programs in which non-textbox text (such as menus and buttons) doesn't show for me, I read that I can use fusion icon to switch to metacity and that does help, but the text still doesn't show itself well, it's overlapping and some of it isn't readable, what more can I do? [07:24] is "the fridge" another planet? [07:25] Demios1: sounds like a problem with your gtk theme, have you tried switching themes and seeing if that solves it? [07:26] ardchoille: how do I change theme? [07:26] Demios1: Syste, > Preferences > Appearance [07:26] evening fellow hapless techno weenies! [07:26] he called me a weenie! get him! [07:27] heh [07:27] !ot [07:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:27] <[Sarai]> Is there anyone here who is good with audio/sound drivers/Pulse Server? [07:27] <[Sarai]> I've been in here a few times with my problem and no one knows the answer yet but they say keep coming back, so... [07:28] hey can anyone help me get cdemu working with intrepid? [07:28] oooh people, it works! [07:28] eseven73, there ain't a krb5.keytab in the debs [07:29] hey all, is it safe to delete all linux kernel related items from synaptic that are older than the kernel I currently have installed? [07:29] gaintsura: yes [07:29] thanks [07:29] eseven73, or did you say you kept yours in /usr/lib/krb5? [07:29] that includes the restricted modules and such too right nww? [07:29] gaintsura: it's always a good idea to keep at least one previous kernel in case an update causes a problem [07:29] my firefox browser is missing the topmost bar which contains the title, maximize, minimize and close buttons. it won't let me resize it and when i have it in focus it is above the top and bottom panels. this may have happened when I switched to 1650x1080 (or whatever) resolution but i'm not sure. how can i fix this? [07:29] Hmm, Evolution crashes EVERY time I check signatures from Edit -> Prefs and check automated signatures, and press OK? Anyone seen this? [07:30] In the command line I went to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe and change the "device" into value "ati". then i saved this file as xorg.conf and it restarted without any problem directly to GUI! thank you [07:30] ardchoille: currently at 2.6.24-22, just upgraded today, smooth running, but I will keep that in mind [07:30] freetown: yeah im trying to find info bout it on google but so far all i see are stuff relating to Kadmin? [07:30] gj sarana_monk [07:30] fallore: sounds like gnome-wm locked up [07:30] gaintsura: yeah. Just make sure you keep the latest version and whatever version you're using (uname -r). As ardchoille says, might be a good idea to keep one extra, too. [07:30] :-) [07:30] fallore: or whatever wm you are using [07:30] freetown: im not familiar with kadm5 or even what it does, so im probably no help sorry :( [07:31] eseven73, no worries [07:31] just keep asking like every 5-10 mins, one of the pro's in here will help freetown :) [07:31] gaintsura: we never know what tomorrow's update might bring :) [07:31] nww: would be a bit hard now, I have only enough space on my /boot for 2 kernels [07:31] dft: do you still think so if all the other windows are fine and i've restarted X and my computer? [07:31] this is all too true, matter of fact I had to re-run envyng after today's kernel update [07:32] fallore: maybe not after that being said [07:32] dft: :/ [07:32] fallore: I think I know what's up [07:33] has anybody managed to get skype recording working with pulseaudio? [07:33] fallore: alt left click on the window in question, you should get a move crosshair icon, drag the window down and to the left until you see the controls and the title bar [07:33] dft: this doesn't work either :/ [07:34] fallore: dude, you're killing me:) [07:35] dft: i can assure you this sucks more for me lol [07:35] is it normal for a distro to update the kernel every day? or is this just unique to Ubuntu? Updates are nice , but they also break things just as easily, to the point where i refuse to update anymore. [07:35] fallore: does alt+f8 allow you to resize the window? [07:36] ardchoille: no [07:36] How do I change the setting which makes the workspace change when I scroll using my laptop's finger-pad? [07:36] eseven73: when you live off debian unstable updates are regular [07:37] fallore: What about alt+shift and choose resize? === tyler is now known as Guest82361 [07:37] fallore: sorry, alt+space [07:37] ardchoille: this doens't work either. it refuses to budge [07:37] ardchoille: thanks, it's good now. is there a way to re-install the other theme though? [07:37] fallore: is this with all of your windows> [07:37] ? [07:37] ardchoille: only firefox, although other windows have been having issues with their title bar where the color gets messed up. [07:37] hey guys [07:37] are there any other file indexing programs other then updatedb? [07:38] gotcha, binarymutant ok i guess im just not in the "bleeding-edge software" crowd, to me, just as long as the darn thing works, im good with that :) [07:38] Demios1: was it a theme yo downloaded? If so you might file a bug report with the theme author [07:38] can someone help me uninstall oss so i can use also again [07:38] Guest82361: just install over the top [07:38] gu the instal [07:38] eseven73: sounds like you need an LTS or debian stable :) [07:38] fallore: that sounds like a problem with your window manager. Are you using compiz? [07:38] how can i kill compiz? [07:38] im already on it :) [07:38] ardchoille: let me check [07:38] ardchoille it's one that came as deafult in ubuntu [07:38] 8.04 binarymutant [07:39] ardchoille: visual effects is set to normal, i don't know if that is a yes or no :/ [07:39] eseven73: binarymutant ? [07:39] ikonia: well i cant get my sound to work with also anymore and before it worked before i installed oss [07:39] avion [07:39] ? [07:39] eseven73: what do you mean by that [07:39] Demios1: Hmm.. never seen that happen, but you can install any theme you want [07:39] 8.04=everything works :) well for me anyways [07:39] hah ikonia ?

[07:39] i just stopped my X server because i have install 177.82 nvidia patch drver [07:39] fallore: that means not using compiz [07:40] eseven73: what do you mean by 8.04 binary mutant ? [07:40] ? [07:40] oh prolly a typo i meant to say binarymutant* [07:40] ikonia: tyler@intel:~$ sudo dpkg -purge oss-linux [07:40] [sudo] password for tyler: [07:40] dpkg: unknown option -u [07:40] another question... when I try to play video from any of my video programs (gstreamer, mplayer, totem, vlc) I get flashing on the video display, usually white and splitting from top right corner to bottom left flashing back and forth from one side to the other.. anyone have any ideas? [07:40] e [07:40] eseven73: what do you mean by binarymutant 8.04 is not called binarymutant [07:40] gaintsura: are you using compiz or 3d effects? [07:40] compiz [07:40] ikonia: my name is binarymutant [07:40] i know, it was a typo ikonia [07:41] hi, can anyone tell me how to install nvidia drivers? i don't have xubuntu-desktop , only xfce4 on top of server install [07:41] gaintsura: try turning it off and see if that helps [07:41] its late + this keyboard sucks, decent excuse? [07:41] ;) [07:41] gaintsura: i get same thing while using compiz for some reason, havent figured it out yet [07:41] if I disable it I lose the rest of my desktop functionality. [07:41] !nvidia | itai_michaelson [07:41] itai_michaelson: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:41] outlaw1: the odd thing is that video plays fine when its played from a browser [07:41] how to use gtmess [07:42] gaintsura: lower res on the web [07:42] why do i get this error? tyler@intel:~$ sudo dpkg -purge oss-linux [07:42] [sudo] password for tyler: [07:42] dpkg: unknown option -u [07:42] hm [07:42] ardchoille: does me not using compiz give you any hints? [07:42] binarymutant: ahh thank yoyu [07:43] Guest82361: you need 2 hyphens like --purge maybe [07:43] fallore: no, I was hoping the other way around [07:43] ardchoille: bummer [07:43] fallore: and I can't seem to find anything about your problem [07:43] ardchoille, let me make sure i understand - i need to apt-get nvidia-glx (on intrepid), correct? [07:43] Guest82361: try sudo apt-get purge oss-linux [07:43] how can i kill X server completely? [07:43] help me how to use gtmess ,version 0.94 [07:43] i wanna uninstall oss though [07:43] yes thats what i need to do [07:43] im trying to install 177.82 [07:43] itai_michaelson: follow what that web page tells you, I did it differently so it's best to follow the docs [07:44] when i run /bin/sh NVIDIA.pkg2.run, it says i have to close X server.. but i did [07:44] Guest82361: if you really want to use dpkg instead of apt-get (which is what you probably should use), try -P instead of -p. [07:44] -P instead of -purge ** [07:44] erbi: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:44] ardchoille, they all seem to say System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, but i don't have that on xfce [07:44] yeah i did that [07:44] i think its because of my compiz daemon running [07:44] itai_michaelson: then you need to be in #xubuntu and find out their method [07:44] how can i stop compiz ? [07:45] ardchoille, ok thanks [07:45] binarymutant, outlaw1: I remember fixing it some time ago, but I don't remember how [07:45] How do I change the setting which makes the workspace change when I scroll using my laptop's finger-pad? [07:46] hi, I've just upgraded into Intrepid on my Sony Vaio and now the display config doesn't work. What is the best way to restore it into usable state (I'm now in low graphics atm). [07:46] how do i turn these programs off or whatever.,.....Some applications are still using OSS - cannot unload [07:46] 6392 /usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet_Factory--oaf-ior-fd=26 [07:46] 6556 gnome-volume-control [07:46] 6392 /usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet_Factory--oaf-ior-fd=26 [07:46] 6556 gnome-volume-control [07:46] Guest82361: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === MadMax is now known as Guest83069 [07:46] sorry pastebin [07:46] should I install restricted modules from ATi? [07:46] gaintsura: yeah, mine isnt at top of my priority list since i'm not using compiz effects everyday. just to show of sometimes. [07:46] my firefox browser is missing the topmost bar which contains the title, maximize, minimize and close buttons. it won't let me resize it and when i have it in focus it is above the top and bottom panels. this may have happened when I switched to 1650x1080 (or whatever) resolution but i'm not sure. how can i fix this? [07:46] BlearyBram: no, it's not free (as in freedom) :) [07:47] binarymutant: indeed, so what should I do? vesa is not working. [07:47] :P [07:47] I use compiz effects all the time (multiple sleek workspaces are good for me) however I dislike having to go into windows to watch a movie, my sound app is messed up on there [07:47] Guest82361, use the system monitor [07:47] I don't care about libre at this stage, I care about usability [07:47] BlearyBram: use the ati driver instead idk, I use the ones from ati, since I hate freedom :) [07:48] Guest82361: dpkg -purge is not an option apt-get purge is [07:48] binarymutant: the panel is so big that I can't click. :P [07:48] erbiyou no longer have X windows running [07:48] BlearyBram: lol that's terrible, ya I would definitly go with a better driver than vesa [07:49] binarymutant: well, I can't even use vesa at the moment: I could back in Hardy days (or was it i810?) [07:49] can i use debian on here? [07:49] hi I have an ipod and I can use it in ubuntu, another thing is that when you use Itunes it is automaticly checks for updates on the ipod is there a program in ubuntu that does the same? [07:50] BlearyBram: that's weird you cant use vesa. Vesa and ati should work for you :/ [07:50] * gaintsura w00ts [07:50] erbi you have no x server running now? [07:50] binarymutant: I found it weird too! [07:50] it's a rather old machine [07:50] BlearyBram, have you tried creating a new default xorg.conf by using the one that 'X -configure' creates? That's gotten things to "just work" for me a few times [07:51] paul68: hardware updates can only be done through itunes [07:51] oh yeah, I forgot that commend. [07:51] ikonia: thanks [07:51] outlaw1, binarymutant: with gmplayer you can go to preferences and select the video mode XImage/Shm and it fixed it! [07:51] gaintsura: that's cool, I have no idea what Ximage/Shm is though [07:52] right, brb [07:54] I can't view youtube-videos, they just don't play [07:54] Finnish: you got flash installed? [07:54] binarymutant: Yeah [07:55] binarymutant: open up gmplayer, go to preferences, then video tab, select (in the select box) the one that says XImage/Scm (though after this I had to change my audio driver for gmplayer as well) [07:55] Finnish: you can use youtube-dl and play them in mplayer, but if flash is installed, correctly, it should work :// [07:55] Yeah, flashplugin-nonfree is installed [07:56] no clue, srry Finnish [07:56] youtube-dl is a good tool though :) [07:58] hello [07:58] anyone who can help me? [07:58] !ask | xLnc` [07:58] xLnc`: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:58] i cant open my source list, just re installed 8.10 and its giving me permission denied [07:59] tried sudo -s [07:59] Im trying to installing Ubuntu, Im using Wubi and have Iso image of Ubuntu 8.10. I run the Wubi and it starts downloading the data from Internet instead of using the Iso image. [07:59] what should i do? [07:59] eseven73, man klist lists /etc/krb5.keytab as default location for file. i'm fine now, thanks [08:00] xLnc`: is the file even there? try just a normal sudo /etc/apt/sources.list [08:00] Im on windows Xp. [08:00] can't help with windows srry :/ [08:00] xLnc`: wubi downloads from the intenet, not an iso [08:01] xLnc`: an iso is compressed data, so it cant be used like that [08:01] it worked at my 2nd pc :o [08:01] CICI [08:01] oh reakky, are you %100 [08:01] really [08:01] I meant really sorry [08:02] no :)! [08:02] xLnc`: [08:02] run wubi from the iso [08:02] I did that to. [08:02] xLnc`: your not sure ? [08:02] i did it a week ago and worked for me [08:03] Mounted the image and run the Wubi, Copied the iso and Wubi to the same folder... [08:03] nono [08:03] ikonia, im sure. [08:03] you have to run wubi from the iso [08:03] so go to your mountpoint [08:03] your virtual drive [08:03] wubi will only work with the desktop iso if its in the same dir as the wubi exe [08:03] can anyone tell me some good movie players [08:03] DarkKnight: mplayer, totem, vlc etc etc [08:03] make sure its not the alternative iso [08:04] VGH DYIDYTYUDTY [08:04] JKLGUIOU, [08:04] DarkKnight: look on the ubuntu "new user" info and pick the software you want [08:04] azfira: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:04] I downloaded it from ubuntu.com. [08:04] GUIFYID [08:04] :p [08:04] mount it, go to the drive [08:05] and click wubi in the mounted directory [08:05] The wubi FAQ even says to just put the ISO in the same folder as wubi.exe and run it. [08:05] yeah i didn't try that yet [08:05] how can I clear my outgoing sendmail queue? [08:05] ok, im trying the mounted-one again. [08:05] i gotta go now, cya [08:06] calculating checksums.. [08:06] hey guys [08:06] its again downloading the data. [08:07] are you trying to use the ISO for the 64-bit version? It might be lookging for the 32bit one? [08:07] xyxxl: I don't understand how it can use the iso as the repos on the disk will be in squash fs format [08:08] its 32 bit. [08:08] xyxxl: I could only see this possible working with the alternative cd [08:08] ikaros, http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php then why would the wubi faq tell you to do so? [08:08] xyxxl: no idea, I can't sese how it would work though [08:09] I move a laptop with a 1400x1050 display between docking stations at home and at work. At home I have a secondary display of 1680x1050, and at work one of 1600x1200. I have ati graphics. (How) can I make an xorg.conf that will work out in both these cases? [08:10] Ayabara: you can add another monitor in your xorg.conf, if that's what you mean [08:11] Alright, I'm back To reiterate: [08:11] Alright, so. I'm having trouble getting connected to my wifi network on my PC. I can view the available networks, but can't connect to them. Help? [08:11] corinth: how can you view them? [08:12] Using the networkmanager applet, binarymutant. [08:12] I can see their signal strength, but I can't connect. [08:13] corinth: in a terminal you can type iwconfig essid "" enc on key s: [08:13] Hello [08:13] corinth: and if there's no errors or anything then just run sudo dhclient [08:14] binarymutant: X -configure doesn't even attempt to work! [08:14] BlearyBram: I didn't know X had that option [08:14] corinth: 1.) what network card model are you using 2.) drop all security on your wirless lan and try to connect that way first [08:14] binarymutant: ah, it was someone else, but I can't recall his name [08:14] BlearyBram: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:14] binarymutant: that wont work as xorg is now dynamic, only defined sections will be changed [08:15] binarymutant: I'm actually doing that in runlevel one (recivery mode) [08:15] binarymutant: what I mean is that http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4f52443e works well on my 1680x1050, and I want to modify it so it works with 1600x1200 as well [08:15] ikonia: but it gets a skel [08:15] binarymutant: gets s skel ? [08:15] ikonia: I'm using a netgear wg111v3. How do I drop the security? [08:15] corinth: is that a usb card [08:15] ikonia: it gets a skeleton xorg.conf [08:15] binarymutant: just removing xorg.conf will re-create a new one on the next reboot [08:15] ikonia: Yes. [08:15] ikonia: didn't know that [08:16] corinth: ugh, before progressing further I'd check what features are supported under linux [08:16] ikonia: I've used this card under Linux before, just fine. Under Ubuntu, even. [08:17] corinth: so what exactly is the probem, what happenhen you try to connect [08:17] I try to connect to it, it looks like it might be connecting, then it is back to the beginning. Not being connected, I mean. [08:18] corinth: the most common cause for that behaviour is the card not being offered an IP address via the dhcp server [08:18] Ayabara: well what if you used a resolution that works on both? like 1024x768 or what not? [08:18] 1650x1080 vs 1680x1050 ? [08:19] I'm now trying to use ndisgtk to configure it using the windows driver. I installed the driver, it says the hardware is present, but when I click Configure Network, it says "Could not find a network configuration tool". [08:19] Hey [08:19] I went to gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:19] I am tryign to cahgne toe boot default from ubuntu to windows [08:19] and I can't figure out what to change [08:19] Is there a way to make files in a folder automatically change file permissions when they are placed into a folder? [08:20] mib_ik3qnigy: there's a default option, change it to your windows partition I guess [08:20] Yea trying to find it [08:21] I can't for the life of me [08:21] mib_ik3qnigy: should be line 14; default 0 [08:21] the number is the order they show in the list near the end [08:21] okay see the default 0 [08:22] change to default saved [08:22] mib_ik3qnigy: if you change it to 1 it's the second entry, 2 is the third entry, and so forth [08:22] than scroll too bottom very end where it says windows and put default 0 [08:22] xyxxl: X -configure didn't work, it simply froze. [08:22] strange [08:23] hello fans of Linux news [08:23] TunaPie called Audacious. Under the column headline 'Now Playing' TunePie shows for a particular highlighted stream: 'Johann Sebastian Bach -Suite No.02 in B minor." But Audiacious displays: "Richard Wagner - Der fliegende Holländer." And Audiacious plays it. Why does Tunapie not update its 'Now Playing' content? [08:23] I don't see where the others other to change the order... [08:23] mib_ik3qnigy: what entry number is your windows partition? if it's the 4th one you need to put default 3 [08:24] its around line 156??? [08:24] Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) [08:25] mib_ik3qnigy: pastebin it and let me see [08:25] how do you pastebin lol [08:25] mib_ik3qnigy: pastebin.com, and copy paste [08:26] http://pastebin.com/m560233dc [08:26] quick question [08:26] hi, i want to use this command 'mplayer -dumpaudio [name of file].flv' in order to extract the audio from a .flv file, but when i enter this in the terminal i am told 'file not found' - do i need to cd to the file/folder, and if so, how? [08:26] trying to edit a conf file... [08:26] but I don't have permission? [08:26] how can i find out the size of a directoy and all the contents inside via terminal [08:26] How do I get permission (become root)? [08:26] mib_ik3qnigy: change default 0 to default 3 [08:26] ?

Funny thing is, I click "show key" to see what it has saved (because the key looks entirely too long), and it has something completely different. Is that just an encrypted version of my wep key, or something? [08:29] the problem is.. that my office system required 32 bit.. and i was trying the same at my home system. which is 64 bit. [08:29] can anyone tell me any good music players?? [08:29] its the reason Wubi was always downloading a fresh copy for ut.

[08:30] histo⡶ It's not used by default, but you can always create one and fill it with the info needed [08:30] the only thing im worried about now is AntiPoisner. [08:30] my internet connection doesnt work without it. [08:30] hateball, well what is the default install of ubuntu using now to detect this stuff? [08:30] DarkKnight⡶ Well right now, all I need the player to do is... play. So Totem is sufficient :) [08:30] its enabled but not working =( [08:31] bullgard4 and gaintsura ; THANKS [08:31] histo⡶ Xorg has autodetection these days [08:31] corinth; so will banshee play movies also well... [08:31] yep... [08:31] hateball, not if you just install xserver-xorg-core aparently [08:31] anyone here having any idea about anti poisner? [08:31] I've had weird issues with Wubi in the past, too, it'd be nice it it gave an error telling you why its not using the iso [08:31] DarkKnight: Yes.

Or with the Alt+F2 launcher. Also, it helps if you adress your questions to me, cant see them otherwise :) [08:35] arrenlex: it's a laptop with 1400x1050 that I use on docking stations with 1680x1050 and 1600x1200.

Be sure to read up about rights tho, dont just run as root in hopes of getting stuff to work [08:37] I'm in terminal [08:37] mib_ik3qnigy⡶ Because that can be very dangerous [08:37] How do I become root? [08:37] !root | mylisto [08:37] mylisto: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:38] i am trying to copy a video from a cd but only part of it is being copied....can anyone help [08:38] pidgin randomly closes, no idea why, and i'm not running that facebook chat thing either. anyone got a clue? :/ [08:38] mylisto: Ugh, that was useless. Put sudo in front of your commands you want to run as root, and type your password. [08:38] I know what the root password is [08:38] got a weird problem with ubuntu/samba/vista [08:38] Anyone know what tool ubuntu-desktop uses to detect kb and mouse for X?

[08:57] xyxxl: so which one is more accurate? [08:57] who know ? [08:58] depends on your definition of RAM ussage :P === Evilscare is now known as Scare|Working [08:58] my audio keeps totally crapping out on me, when i try to play something in rhythmbox it sits at 0:00 and there's no command line output.

[08:59] ?? [08:59] I just realised that I had to run source .bashrc from a console to get .bashrc to take effect [08:59] hateball: i did, not atm though [08:59] paissad, your ip address is displayed in the chat here [08:59] jschall⡶ But there's still Firefox windows open? [08:59] doing it in a terminal doesn't cut it [08:59] hateball: none [08:59] xyxxl, oh ! [09:00] jschall⡶ and you've restarted rhythmbox? [09:00] xyxxl, is that a good thing ? [09:00] i don't think so !

[09:01] jschall⡶ That sounds weird then. _something_ is obviously hogging the sound tho [09:01] xyxxl, maybe, but it's safier not to display it ! [09:01] no ?

When I load a DVD (with libcss2 [09:02] installed and totem, gxine or VLC) or turn the visualisation on in RythmBox, the software just close without a word [09:03] sonoblaise⡶ starting it from a terminal should give you the error output [09:03] this chat is international ............. but does it have irc channel for only some country ? ...........; for example FRANCE [09:03] ??

If you install xserver-xorg it doesn't detect them when your startx; however, if I install the ubuntu-desktop package it installs something that makes X work with them.

[09:28] !e17 [09:28] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [09:28] histo Yes its activated. I used sudo nvidia-settings too [09:28] MonthOLDpickle, well what sort of issues are you having then? [09:28] MonthOLDpickle, when you're trying to use 1920x1200 does it show up blurry and shifted to the side?

[09:29] xyxxl but yes its shifted to the side. And blurry [09:29] I had the same problem using the NVIDIA drivers [09:30] did you fix it? [09:30] Its a problem with the nvidia drivers reading the EDID values from the monitor incorrectly [09:30] and no, I never found a fix for it :P [09:30] bah [09:30] I don't liek how it shows on my farther monitor >.> [09:30] brb [09:30] MonthOLDpickle, install nvidia-settings package and use that. [09:31] if you check the nvidia control applet thing, your monitor might be showing up as a TV... some people have reported success by being able to manually change it to a monitor [09:31] yo yo yo [09:31] wtf this mini.iso is taking for ever. Its not even downloading. [09:32] histo: what method are you using? [09:32] ActionParsnip, i'm just trying to install a console based system on a virtual machine its just horribly slow. [09:33] histo: how are you downloading the iso? [09:34] ActionParsnip, the mini.iso is already downlaoded [09:34] Anyone know how I can get my keyboard and touchpad detected by X on my laptop? If you install xserver-xorg it doesn't detect them when your startx; however, if I install the ubuntu-desktop package it installs something that makes X work with them.

I'd like it to automatically be recognised when I boot this machine - but I don't know how [09:35] histo, have you tried the xorg.conf that 'X -confgure' generates? [09:35] ActionParsnip, looks like it was an issue with the setup of the virtual machine selecting what type of OS was going to be installed. [09:35] At the moment I have to unplug and replug it, which involves pulling out my desk and so on ;) [09:35] xyxxl, intrepid has no xorg.conf [09:35] histo: mine does [09:35] histo: makes my nvidia card work nice [09:36] ActionParsnip, its not actually using it though unless you change it. Stupid bullet proof X [09:36] histo: yep I changed it. So it CAN have xorg.conf [09:37] can i download and install all mozilla-plugins for the different players that i use or do i just have to choose 1 to use and stick with it ? thanks in advance [09:37] will__: run lsusb, you will get an identifier [09:37] xyxxl, nice [09:37] xyxxl, didn't know about this little app. Going to try that one.

[11:12] kidbuntu: im guessing vfat, does dmesg say something about it not being removed cleanly? [11:12] cowbud: no message at all. [11:12] mountaindew sounds like you've not got the right codecs on linux [11:13] cowbud: didnt do anything.. all of my other disk on my computer i can't open it with ubuntu [11:13] totem asked me to install the codecs (2 choices) and I installed both. [11:13] kidbuntu: its a fat32 drive right? [11:13] mountaindew maybe they are not compatible, what was the movies encoded with [11:13] mountaindew, do you have compiz (desktop effects) enabled? [11:13] kidbuntu: and you didn't answer my first question.. [11:13] cowbud: yes [11:14] kidbuntu: how are you trying to mount it [11:14] My ubunto doesn't identify one of my partitions(ntfs) on startup, what can i do ?

Never seen any thing talk about how to do that. [11:14] hai [11:15] how do I disable compiz? [11:15] cowbud: nothing at all [11:15] cowbud: dont know how to mount it by terminal [11:15] kidbuntu: this is a usb drive or an IDE connected drive? [11:15] cowbud: IDE [11:15] kidbuntu: well is it a partition on your same root drive? [11:15] mountaindew, you may need to change the video output in your movie player if you are using effects [11:15] or do you not know?

[11:18] cowbud: both actually [11:18] kidbuntu: alright and they have names in nautilus, the application where you are right clicking and saying mount.. [11:19] cowbud: yes [11:19] kidbuntu: so what are the names? one is your main windows drive and another is probably a download drive/extra storage drive [11:20] cowbud: "IDE STORAGE" then the other is "Media files" [11:20] kidbuntu: alright try this pmount /dev/sdc1 /media/IDE\ STORAGE [11:21] I updated to intrepid yesterday.

[11:49] joaopinto: I was [11:49] joaopinto: but I think it's in there [11:49] joaopinto: line 347 [11:50] Tyrath, tab completion and tilde expansion are different functions (I guess) [11:50] joaopinto: ah. just when I click tab it seems to give the directory [11:51] i prefer to think of ~ as simply that. /home/chris is overly complicated [11:51] i mean how often does one type /home/ when they can simply type ~ [11:51] it's such a pointless autocompletion [11:51] all the time. :( [11:52] man, i can't read these files.... [11:53] guys, how to make xine backend for totem [11:53] i get the if statements and that's about it [11:53] if and fi indicate boundaries for if statements [11:53] http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/3713309/ [11:53] then elif is else if [11:53] Tyrath, that is a generic directory autocompletion, it does not matter if you are browsing /home or /xpto [11:53] but apart from that... [11:53] http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/3713309/ [11:53] hello guys [11:53] joaopinto: so is that not what I'm looking for [11:54] joaopinto: cause it says this function expands tildes in pathnames [11:54] Can I clone the whole hard drive (windows 2000 and ubuntu) to another one with acronis trueimage 7? === odin is now known as Guest3623 [11:54] joaopinto: so say I commented that whole thing out... [11:54] I wonder what the repercussion would be... [11:54] Tyrath, there is a "This function performs file and directory completion. It's better than" on the file :) [11:55] whynot, why not use an open source alternative like partimage ? === sean is now known as Guest82829 [11:55] partimage is such as trueimage? [11:55] joaopinto: isn't it just /etc/bash_completion [11:56] I haven't heard about it....I need some tip. [11:56] ok. I'll check it out. [11:56] whynot, it's a partition image copy utility, never used trueimage [11:56] how to increase the monitor refresh rate ? [11:56] whynot i use partimage, and you prolly havnt heard of it as they dont have a big advertising budget [11:57] Actually, I'm used to trueimage. That's all why I'm asking if trueimage enables me to clone linux. [11:57] whynot however its very good, extremely fast and not overly complex, i think the best way to use it is in the form of a live disk lie gparted live. [11:57] how do i setup mono 2.0.1 on my ubuntu hardy install? [11:58] koshar1 i have never heard of trueimage either, [11:58] BoltClock, there are no 2.0 packages for hardy as far as I know [11:58] joaopinto: do i then have to compile from source? [11:58] BoltClock, I guess so [11:58] koshar1/yeah, I just succeeded to resize ubuntu swap partition with gparted live. [11:59] joaopinto: which file exectes /etc/bash_completion ?

[12:15] MiladKhajavi, that question is best answered on one of the tutorials for creating an APT repository, best to google for it [12:15] MiladKhajavi mirror the repo [12:15] baduk is very exciting! [12:15] :p [12:15] MiladKhajavi, I am assuming you want a repository with your own packages [12:15] do you play omok? [12:16] must, this is a support channel only please [12:16] ok, i see. [12:16] must: nope im 3d at baduk tho, a site for a cool variant of it (batoo.org) opens in a few days [12:16] joaopinto: I want to download all i386 package of 8.10 [12:16] whats omok [12:16] MiladKhajavi: ALL of them? [12:16] then I want to create DVD repository of ubuntu 8.10 [12:16] MiladKhajavi, so you actually want a mirror, you just need to use a mirroring tool and a web or ftp service [12:17] joaopinto: what is the mirror? can you give me a key to search through google? [12:17] MiladKhajavi, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352460 [12:17] any recommendations for bittorrent program other than transmission? [12:18] lianimator, deluge [12:18] joaopinto: I don't understand why deluge got replaced by transmission as the default. [12:18] joaopinto: I can just download repo from windows not linux [12:19] MiladKhajavi, then I can't help you, you will need windows help, not here === Mardenen is now known as Mardeni [12:19] joaopinto: where can I find my answer, can u lead me? [12:19] MiladKhajavi: ##windows [12:20] MiladKhajavi, you want to mirror an ftp/http structure on windows, ask on ##windows [12:20] how can I open a new Tab in GNOME Commander? [12:20] lianimator: its simpler [12:21] <|MUSE|> it seems that I am not a sudoer: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/94497/ but "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" is in /etc/sudoers? [12:21] zeno: I prefer ktorrent though it's not native to gnome [12:21] MiladKhajavi: easiser just to install with the normal cd and add stuff later [12:21] MiladKhajavi, and be aware that the repositories (including universe) will take several DVDs [12:21] lianimator: the kde4 one is a huge resource hog and crashes :\ [12:22] lianimator: was using 1.4 gb ram for me lol [12:22] |MUSE|, you need to prefix the command with: sudo [12:22] zeno: wow, what do you use now? I really liked utorrent in windows [12:22] I have a problem with aptitude in the last two days. I get, for example, "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mlterm/mlterm-common_2.9.3-5_i386.deb" [12:22] It keeps saying "are you sure?" "untrusted sources" etc. [12:23] lianimator: utorrent runs in wine well if you really want, i use deluge tho [12:23] and then it fails downloading -- it's not downloading at all [12:23] zeno, have you tried with a different mirror ? [12:23] and ktorrent kde3 [12:23] joaopinto: ? [12:23] zeno: wonder why deluge is the 3rd most popular one, after transmission and "BitTorrent Download Client" [12:23] ops, was for peleg [12:24] joaopinto, no, I just press + in aptitude and it does the rest. [12:24] I am trying latest UBUNTU release on DELL D610. Installation and live CD stops in black screen. In Alt+F1 console there is message "Please wait loading". Does somebody have idea how to fix it ? [12:24] lianimator: defaults, alot of people not power users [12:24] hello everybody [12:24] k2s: does the cd md5 check> [12:24] <|MUSE|> joaopinto: ah, I thought that that was the whole point of being a sudoer, you just type in the command without the sudo and it will just ask for a password? [12:25] peleg, go to the software sources application, and select a different mirror [12:25] |MUSE|, no, the wall point of sudoer, is to be able to use the "sudo" command :) [12:25] I am going to install an ubuntu server edition on a machine..is there a sort of reference of the basic things to keep in mind when doing this operation? === sean is now known as Guest24801 [12:25] joaopinto, where is it? [12:25] joaopinto: i think it does both [12:25] <|MUSE|> joaopinto: ok thanks :P [12:25] zeno, it does not [12:26] doktoreas, check help.ubuntu.com [12:26] zeno: I started check disk from menu and it detected problem in one file. I burned it from downloaded ISO. should I try to burn again ? [12:26] joaopinto: IS there a file that does that? [12:26] dpkg: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187.ko not found. [12:26] besides su root =p [12:26] zeno, that allows you to run something as root ? [12:26] DJ_HaMsTa, how did you install that driver on the first place ? [12:27] zeno, no, you need to be root [12:27] joaopinto: that will append sudo to any command in a list automatically [12:27] joaopinto: when i installed ubuntu it was ther [12:27] DJ_HaMsTa, that's odd :\ [12:27] comes with the OS [12:27] joaopinto: i suppose an alias apt-get=sudo apt-get or w./e would work [12:27] DJ_HaMsTa, try to search for the file on packages.ubuntu.com [12:27] ugh [12:27] do you know when graphic cards ati radeon hd will be fully supported? [12:27] I get "WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!" for "mlterm [version 2.9.3-5]". but it's in "universe/x11", so why is it like that? [12:27] zeno, that would work, but kind of hard for every command :P [12:27] joaopinto: to become root do -> sudo passwd then do -> su - [12:28] cheni, I have an ATI HDsomething, and works fine [12:28] BaD_CrC, not really, to become root , just sudo -i [12:28] you don't need to enable the root account to become root [12:28] I think I have this message applied to ANY package in aptitude!! [12:28] joaopinto: you dont need for every command, just ones you commonly use that need superuser privs almost every time [12:28] joapinto you can play hd content without problems? [12:29] cheni, oh, you refer to HD as HD Video, never tried it [12:29] joaopinto: didn't know that trick, nice [12:29] hello [12:29] Zyfo: your welcome [12:30] "sudo su" works too [12:30] dang my processer is up to 175 farenheight [12:30] Does the Nvidia 9600 GT work with ubuntu 8.1? When I boot It stops when it gets to HALD. [12:30] zeno: I started check disk from menu and it detected problem in one file. I burned it from downloaded ISO. should I try to burn again ? [12:31] toehio: just google nvidia 9600 ubuntu 8.10 [12:31] sudo su is not recommend, as it does not properly setup the environment, sudo -i is the recommended procedure [12:31] k2s: yes use a low burn speed [12:31] toehio, it should work, since it's a common video card [12:31] hi all [12:31] anyone know hoe to get dial-up running on ubuntu 8.10? [12:31] k2s, check the md5sum of the image before burning [12:31] but I can't even boot! [12:32] !md5sum | k2s [12:32] k2s: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [12:32] toehio, can you boot in rescue mode ? [12:32] It looks like it does not find any of the proper sources! for example, I get http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages [ERROR] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] [12:32] joaopinto: I have to boot in safe mode and get the root shell [12:32] toehio, did you install the nvidia driver ? [12:32] but I can easily ping 91.189.88.31 [12:32] joaopinto: How do I solve this "HALD" error and get it to boot normally? [12:33] not yet [12:33] toehio, that hald error does not seem related to your video card driver [12:33] But I thought that even without a driver it should boot to gdm [12:33] but I get "unknown host" trying to ping http://us.archive.ubuntu.com ... is that a dns problem? [12:33] yes, it should startup into vesa mode [12:33] joaopinto: it is because before when i had an ati i ran ubuntu. after getting the 9600 the problems started [12:33] peleg fesity is no longer on that repo [12:33] Pretto, you need to ping us.archive.ubuntu.com, without the other url parts [12:33] what could be the problem: i cant access to the internet with my new installed server... i can access it over the lan with ssh, no probs... and i can access it over the internet (external address) but i cant get from the server out in the i-net [12:33] peleg: only the updates [12:34] ikonia, oh, I see! so what should I do? [12:34] joaopinto, me? [12:34] peleg upgrade to a supported version [12:34] if i upgrade ubuntu, would it get me the drivers that came installed with it back [12:34] ? [12:34] ops, was peleg [12:34] does anyone know of an email verification piece of software for linux - basically supply it with a list of email addresses and then it outputs the good ones in one list and the dead ones in another list [12:34] joaopinto, ;) [12:34] yup [12:34] got em back [12:34] woho [12:34] DJ_HaMsTa, upgrading to already installed version will do nothing [12:34] joaopinto: I even made a post in the forums a few months back when I was trying with 8.04! [12:35] ikonia, are you telling me that as long as I am staying with 7.04 I can't install new packages using aptitude? [12:35] joaopinto: upgrading to a NEW version [12:35] u can not upgrade to the SAME version [12:35] peleg I'm telling you that release is no longer supported and updated, and that mirror you are using does not have that repo on it [12:35] because that would not be an upgrade [12:35] steveccc, there is no reliable way to determine if an email address exists, for validation you can only apply the generic email validation rules, that can be done with a scripting language, look for samples on goole, either with php or python [12:35] ikonia, I can't upgrade now, I'm a student and I don't have time for that - it's a laptop and everything is so fragile... It'll take me a month to get everything to work properly again [12:35] steveccc: how would this program check these addresses? send an email with the subject "hi, I'm a email-harvester.. are you a real person?" ? [12:36] peleg there are no updates to fesity, so it doesn't matter, you don't need to use the repos [12:36] peleg: as nothing is updated any more, it's dead [12:36] I cannot stop pppd (I believe) from rewriting /etc/resolv.conf, even though there is no usepeerdns option in /ppp/peer/dsl-provider which is invoked via pon dsl-provider. Is there anything else I must look to resolve this? [12:36] steveccc: or are you just looking for something like a regex for an email-address? [12:36] guys, you are great. see you!! [12:36] ikonia, but I want to install NEW packages! for example, mlterm ... [12:36] peleg nothing is being packaged for feisty - it's deasd [12:36] peleg: the "new" packages don't exist on fesity [12:37] peleg, the repositories are no longer available [12:37] joaopinto and slart there are pieces of software for windows which claims to connect to the mail server and verifies the address - i assume it starts the mail process and records if a mail address doesnt exist message comes back. [12:37] ikonia, but it is already packaged for feisty. it's not new in that meaning of new - it's new in the meaning of "does not yet exist in my machine" [12:37] dell d600 laptop with ubuntu 8.10. i've noticed when I use the function key and up/down arrow keys to brighten/darken the screen I lose control of my keyboard, and cannot display drop-down menus. anyone familiar with this kind of behaviour? [12:37] peleg you need to find an active mirror then, but as I said, it's dead, gone [12:38] ok, this is brutal. I can't see why would UBUNTU delete/cancel existing data sources, instead of just adding new ones [12:38] steveccc: hmm.. I would think twice before sending these people any money.. I'm not sure that's part of the standard smtp/imap protocol.. [12:38] peleg space, and to stop people installing it wanting support [12:38] steveccc, that depends on the SMTP server implementing such feature, a security enabled server does not, since it allows to verify for the existence of specific users on the system [12:38] peleg: also, it may only be that mirror it's gone from, I doubt it, but that may be thge case [12:39] oh, space is nothing, really, I don't buy that. And I didn't need any support, only the packages themselves. anyway, thanks. I'll look for other mirrors [12:40] hey [12:40] peleg space/bandwidth is NOT nothing, who are you to say what is nothing to a company [12:40] i need some help? please [12:40] steveccc, the only reliable way to determine an email existence is by using a handshaking process, sending an email requesting a specific action for confirmation [12:40] !eol > peleg [12:40] peleg, please see my private message [12:40] peleg: keep up to date with your distro - it's up to you to be responsible for it [12:41] joaopinto and slart thanks for the replies - thats what I thought but there are quite a few different pieces of software out there which is strange - this is one example http://www.email-unlimited.com/email_verifier_professional.html [12:41] hi ubuntu folks! i am having AACRAID woes... Getting lot's of "Host adapter reset request. SCSI hang ?" on 8.1 Intrepid Server. I *think* it may be a problem with HARDWARE QUEUE SIZE [12:42] brando what raid card is it ? [12:42] ikonia, well, thanks. I have my 7.04 for about half a year, so I feel that it is brutal to cut it out like that. anyway, I won't be able to upgrade now (or in the next 7-8 month), so I'll just give up and hopefully find a new "mirror" [12:42] hey [12:42] can some one help me? [12:42] peleg then thats your fault for installing a distro that was old not supported [12:42] IBM ServerRAID 8k-l... it says Adaptec ATB-205 on it [12:42] steveccc: mm.. I just googled around and there are quite a number of those utilities.. I still doubt if they work for all addresses.. as joaopinto said, the only way to make sure the address is in use is to send an email and request they send it back or something like that [12:42] ikonia, no, I have *bought* it like that from dell. [12:43] peleg thats your fault [12:43] peleg: not ubuntus', complain to dell [12:43] ikonia, and there was no ubuntu 8 back then [12:43] peleg: you have a year warrenty [12:43] peleg: there was ubuntu 8 6 months ago [12:43] steveccc: you could just check if the domain exists.. that probably will remove some of the dead addresses [12:43] cane some one help me ? [12:43] ikonia, so maybe I have it a bit more. less then a year, anyway. [12:44] peleg: there was ubuntu 7.10 over a year ago) [12:44] steveccc: you can of course keep track of what addresses bounce when you use the addresses.. if you plan on sending mail to them [12:44] peleg: you have no excuse [12:44] how do i enable sudo logging [12:44] ikonia, hmm.. didn't think of 7.10. Do you think an upgrade to 7.10 will solve my problem? it should take a few minutes, shouldn't it? [12:44] yanko: ? [12:44] peleg should take a long time as it will have to download the whole repo, but you said you can't update so whats teh point [12:45] slart: yes it would but in my case alot are people who have changed isp's or left companies etc. Unfortunately if the email address is valid my software will send out to it and the only way of getting a bad address list is to collate all of the emails which come back to the sending address. - anyway thanks for your help [12:45] peleg: if your going to update you should update to the current supported versions [12:45] ikonia, I'm confused. I thought that 7.10 is just simple bug fixes and so for 7.04, not a new distro [12:45] steveccc: you're welcome [12:45] peleg no, it's a new distro [12:45] peleg: each release ius a new distro [12:45] peleg, the version is, year.month, it's always a new distro [12:46] how do we tell ubuntu not to ask password for a specific user whenever he uses sudo? [12:46] kapildev: NOPASSWORD option in sudoers files [12:46] i tried sudo visudo and added a similar entry below root [12:46] kapildev: man sudoers, see the NOPASSWD section [12:46] kapildev, man sudoers [12:46] kapildev: google brings up examples [12:46] IBM ServerRAID 8k-l... it says Adaptec ATB-205 on it. dmesg reveals this: Adaptec aacraid driver 1.1-5[2456]-ms. It seems to be the most current driver but there was a bug found prior to release of 8.1 regarding this [12:46] oh.ok [12:47] brando: are you using the card as a hardawre controller or software? [12:47] steveccc: here's a thread with some discussion about it.. http://archives.devshed.com/forums/net-206/check-if-email-address-exists-not-if-email-addrss-is-2117396.html [12:47] ikonia, I see. ok, the problem is not time - as long as ubuntu downloads stuff in the background I don't care. the problem is that I have so many things that it took me weeks to make them work, like video, sound, keyboard, and fonts, and I'm afraid that upgrading will erase my efforts [12:47] hardware controller [12:47] peleg possible will [12:47] I'll have to invest weeks in order to make everything work properly again... [12:47] brando so your using it in a hardware raid config [12:47] oh, no hope. [12:47] install went smoothly. [12:47] yes [12:47] peleg: try a live cd and see if it "just works" [12:47] small files are passed quickly and easily [12:48] large files > 2GB break it every time [12:48] brando have looked at any kernel parameters needed for it [12:48] hi [12:48] I have windows and slax installed on my PC, with the boot loader: Lilo [12:48] Can I add Ubuntu without installing grub ? [12:48] no, afraid i am too noob ;) [12:48] lorgam: yup [12:48] how can I do this ikonia ? [12:49] lorgam, although you would have to use the slax support channel [12:49] lorgam: install ubuntu and click the option to have " don't install grub" [12:49] not a ubuntu issue [12:49] Paddy_EIRE I'm asking how to install ubuntu without grub ! [12:49] brando: sounds like a buffer error, I'd look for config options for that card, [12:49] have you a screenshot of this ikonia ? [12:50] lorgam: why do you need a screen shot [12:50] ok- please hint on where they go ... [12:50] lorgam, well thats the extent of it.. uncheck install grub during install [12:50] lorgam: just follow the installer and then the option that says "install grub" disable it [12:50] lorgam: it's pretty intuitive [12:50] Paddy: yeah [12:50] oky [12:50] brando: they are normally kernel boot parameters, or can go in the sysctl.conf [12:50] its about the last step, before u finally install [12:51] ok, i look into it. thanks a bunch ikonia :) [12:52] What's the latest version of Ubuntu ? [12:52] jrib, thanks, I think I might will. Will it really imitate well how it'll work with a new installation? [12:52] lorgam, 8.10 [12:52] ok [12:52] intrepid ibex [12:52] peleg: of course, it's just like an install [12:52] ikonia, how much time should I expect for a new installation to work? (not including my own fixes) [12:52] jrib, thanks. [12:53] peleg: I'd try both 8.04 (support for 3 years on the desktop) and 8.10 (support for 18 months, but newer). [12:54] if I install Ubuntu 7.04 and have acces to internet, can I update it to the version 8.10 ? [12:54] jrib, what should I backup before installation? [12:54] lorgam, I think so [12:54] peleg: anything you should already have backups for: data you care about [12:54] lorgam, but step by step [12:54] ? [12:54] lorgam yup [12:54] lorgam, you should install 8.10 directly === timburke|reallya is now known as timburke [12:54] jrib, but what about all of the stuff in .Gnome and .irssi and etc... will it be preserved? will it survive the upgrade? [12:55] joaopinto I have a low connexion to internet , and I have the CD of version 7.04 [12:55] lorgam, do what joaopinto said [12:55] lorgam, the upgrade size is not different from the CD size [12:55] peleg: yes, all your settings are supposed to stay there, so barring some catastrophic failure, you are fine [12:55] ah oky [12:55] lorgam, it will take more time to upgrade it [12:55] so I'll download the 8.10 [12:55] thanks [12:56] did anyone observe that speedbar is broken in emacs 23.0.60.1 ? [12:56] hi.. looked every where [12:56] need some help [12:56] mouse-2 does the job instead of mouse-1 [12:57] jrib, ok, thanks. Do you have any estimation how much time should it take? I can take a day off now, so if the whole process will take no more than 6 hours, I think I'll go for it (I assume people here will try to help me if I'm stuck, right? ;-) ) [12:57] !ask | vette [12:57] vette: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:57] Does anyone know how to change spamassassins scoring of RCVD_IN_XBL=3.033 when using amavisd and postfix?

[12:58] I changed it in local.cf, restarted spamassassin and it still doesn't change the default value given [12:58] what should I choose, Kubuntu or Ubuntu or Xbuntu or Edubuntu ? [12:59] lorgam, depends [12:59] lorgam, which ever you want to use :/ [12:59] jrib, indeed [12:59] lorgam, research your needs first [12:59] any ideas?

Xubuntu, more performance? Ubuntu, even more perfomance? Kubuntu, Edubuntu? forget it ;) [13:01] cgfhhmn [13:01] anyone can help with this issue? [13:01] daNz_ajah stop please [13:01] ok :) [13:01] peleg: you'll need to upgrade through 7.10 first, then 8.04, then 8.10 (as far as you want to go since all of these are supported, however 7.10 support ends in april). Each upgrade will probably take "a couple" of hours (it depends on how much you have installed). If you just want to upgrade to 7.10, I'd say you have plenty of time. Depending on how much time that takes, you can then gauge if you have [13:01] time for the 8.04 upgrade [13:01] ikonia: not working [13:02] badawi what happens [13:02] jrib, oh, cool, thanks! I'll start with 7.10 then [13:02] but i saw some words could not be listed fully [13:02] any help with partioning issue? [13:02] why [13:02] allennewok pardon ?

I'm wondering where I can change the type of hash that my passwd file uses? in fedora, there's authconfig, but it doesn't seem to be available for ubuntu. [13:04] any partitioning guyz around?

[13:05] i get an error when using gparted [13:05] bueller?

[14:03] tj83: so you sound like your fine on a network ip / range, you've got no firewalls running on the machines which is good and you can do some network stuff (browse the net) as I understand [14:03] anders_: Please don't do that [14:03] quick how do you pause ffmpeg? cpu overheating and dont want to lose 3 hrs encoding. ctrlz ? [14:04] zeno_: that will probably work, yes [14:04] ikonia, yes, exactly, seems to work perfect except for the non-ability to ping the server machine and see its samba shares, maybe in the samba config? [14:04] can anyone help with audio softare corruption? my audio stopped working during a thanksgiving day update, all i get is crackles now, any one got any ideas? [14:04] tj83: well, ping and samba are seperate, to maybe, but doubtful [14:05] try doing a "traceroute $server_ip" and stick it in a pastebin with netstatn -rn output too please [14:05] hi, i've got a question, my swap is beeing used too much, now its 65% of 2gb used, and i only have openbox+xchat running, any advice?

[14:09] ikonia, great! lets fix it :P [14:09] ikonia: arent you a bot or sth? ;) [14:09] nme: no I'm not a bot [14:10] tj83: you've got a bit of an infinate loop [14:10] ikonia, how did that happen lol? [14:10] tj83: so your onto your private network which is great, your being treated like your on your private network, and your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 which I'm assuming is your network server's gateway, or your routers gateway yes/no ? [14:11] ikonia, yes 192.1681.1. is my router [14:12] yo yo yo [14:12] well hard to say really ikonia i mean 192.168.1.1 is the IP of the router at both points here at work and at home, could be misleading. [14:12] is it possible to downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04? [14:12] jeezyme: by reinstalling [14:12] tj83 ok - so what's happening is, your pinging your 192.168.1.99 address, it's going out of your default route, whichi s good, however the address is none-routeable on the internet so it's getting lost [14:12] !downgrade | jeezyme [14:12] jeezyme: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [14:12] tj83: you need a route that says 192.168.0.0 use "your virtual interface name/address" [14:13] tj83: so that anything on your internal lan doesn't go out of the default gateway and try to route across the internet [14:13] jeezyme, If you have a seperate partition for /home the easiest way is to reinstall fresh and not format home.. Otherwise you'll loose more hair than it's worth trying any other way. [14:13] /Error opening device: unknown/busy or no permissions.

[14:15] ActionParsnip: bu clicking "connect" on gMobileMedia's "connect" icon.

[14:17] ikonia, son of a gun.... consider that to be the ssh'd output gees, i'm ignorant.. i was ssh'd the whole time. [14:17] sorry. [14:17] tj83 ha ha ha [14:17] ActionParsnip: thing is, ubuntu doesn't see the phone, it sees only the serialUSB cable.

[14:57] lol thats true [14:57] i develop driver on Windows NT systems [14:57] you interface with libraries, so you need to get familiar with the docs for the specific libraries that you want to use [14:57] Kernel mode [14:57] my gcc is not finding stdio.h [14:58] azurewrathx, if you are developing drivers, there are some good books for linux drivers development, you will need to read one of those [14:58] someone help!! I no longer have root access to my server nor do I have access to sudo commands. Anytime I try to run commands accompanied with sudo, it results in 'Segmentation Fault.' Does anyone know what is causing this? They last time I change anything was when I added an SMB account for my wife and about 15 min later I tried to run a sudo command and now this... [14:58] If I want to block irc using iptables, is it sufficient to block port 6667? [14:58] alredy read one... :( o'really linux device drivers by i use only the apis decribed in the book... i need a full reaference [14:58] help: gcc is not recognizing stdio.h [14:59] lucky711x: I would suggest trying su - then visudo [14:59] JuJuBee: nope, different irc server use different ports, but mostly 6667... and then there is irc in web browser.. [14:59] Paddy_EIRE: did that make sense? [14:59] tarokun, I have...no luck [14:59] azurewrathx, there are tons of drivers and their source on the kernel, just look at one that matches your requirements [14:59] heret1c, sadly I do not have the phone myself to really help much further [14:59] error404notfound: bummer. any suggestions? [15:00] lucky711xx: do you have physical acess to server? [15:00] JuJuBee: well always configure an exclusive firewall, ban all stuff except what you need, otherwise will mostly leave you vulnerable.. [15:00] Paddy_EIRE: strange both gammu and gnokii should work, then. [15:00] error404notfound, yes im on it [15:01] JuJuBee: nice name :) [15:01] Yea, the web stuff is the problem I guess... [15:01] Thanks jeeez [15:01] Throwback to when I was a kid... [15:01] Loved em [15:01] mmm i have think it but if i wonna make a custom kernel module or a simple program where i find reference on APIs? I can't see all linux source code LOL!!! In MS MSDN you have a well explation on win32 developing, interfaces apis etc and is not open source... linux is open source and don't have a full api reference LOOL!! omg -.- [15:01] JuJuBee: tamil, by any chance? [15:01] Nope [15:01] !repeat | azurewrathx [15:01] azurewrathx: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [15:01] lucky711xx; then reboot in to single user mode, and enter root password, and check from there for commands of sudo and su, such as permissions on them, sticky bit, I don't know if it will solve the problem, but worth a try.. [15:01] JuJuBee: name means? [15:02] azurewrathx, since your question is not ubuntu specific, you may prefer to ask in on ##linux [15:02] azurewrathx, you already received several answers [15:02] ok thk for all [15:02] someone know a channel for talking on driver e appl linux developement? [15:02] :) [15:03] jeeez: a candy [15:03] error404notfound, ive tried all the above [15:03] azurewrathx, for application development it will depend on the language, there are plenty of language specific channels here [15:03] jeeez: http://www.oldtimecandy.com/jujubes.htm [15:03] error404notfound, also nothing in the logs [15:03] !c [15:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about c [15:03] i'm on assembly x86 , c, c++ [15:03] Oh, and I also raise honney bees, hence the double e...

[15:07] AaronMT, it wont be making it into any of the official ubuntu repositories [15:07] Paddy_EIRE, I have read the topic, i do not see how suggesting a developing language to use on a Ubuntu system is different from suggesting any other type of tool, based on the user requirement :) [15:08] joaopinto, still completely missing the point.. but I guess I should stop wasting my time [15:08] Any idea what to do about screen fliker with intrepid and Nvidia GeForce 8600 512MB video card?

Yes still. [15:09] About 3 weeks ago someone said this is known problem. Was hoping there was a solution. [15:10] JuJuBee the 8000's have had issuses as long as they have been out, even back two releases [15:10] JuJuBee: if it's a known problem, there should be a related bug report, did you check that?

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:34] sidd your problem is quite common... what command are you giving from what tutorial. [15:34] lamur: i suppose if you just type the name of the program it should start [15:34] yea [15:35] cd perl [15:35] and if you type the program name followed by &, it runs in the background so you can continue to use the terminal. for example, firefox & runs firefox [15:35] with what program in ubuntu 8.10 I can make a movie like "windows movie maker" ?

What is your laptop vendor and modle ? [17:08] say, can't get X to launch [17:08] bazhang, Thank you =] [17:08] display driver problem [17:08] How can I determine what the internal display card is from command line please? [17:09] I used update-rc.d to remove gdm from my startup, and after restoring it ('update-rc.d -f gdm defaults') my system now freezes at the login screen. i've tried removing and reinstalling gdm and related packages with apt-get.

[17:10] S0me1, driver zd1211rw [17:10] genii: nice link [17:10] Can't determine model of HP Desktop either hence need to resort to some other way to... Its apparently a HP DX2000 [17:10] nw2190: have you tried in system, preferences, sound? [17:11] ShaunWing: lspci might give you some kind of idea [17:11] Slart: Ya, I disabled system sounds and alerts but it still plays. In older versions of ubuntu that's how I always did it though. [17:11] archman, that works, I already tried it. That doesn't work [17:12] tx will try [17:12] weissi: which works and which doesn't work? [17:12] archman, the problem is xauth! the magic-cookie is for localhost.localdomain [17:12] archman, localhost works and olddays does not [17:13] weissi: but with localhost programs dont work? [17:13] archman, the strange thing about all that is that even if I have olddays in my /etc/hostname when I boot ubuntu, the hostname is set to localhost [17:13] archman, everything works with localhost [17:13] nw2190: oh.. nevermind.. I haven't disabled mine.. it just plays in my headphones... I have no idea then.. perhaps some kind of alsa configuration thingy [17:13] where do i change output on my soundcard from digital to analog? [17:13] archman, but NetworkManager changes it AUTOMATICALLY when connecting to WLANs. [17:14] xzcz'' [17:14] can get unbutu to reconfigure alsa from the beginning [17:14] its totally fucked [17:14] Slart: ya maybe, i'll keep looking around for something. Thanks. [17:14] soppman, please watch the language here [17:14] archman, have a look at http://pastebin.com/m55de542f [17:14] weissi: go to system-admin.network [17:14] weissi: I think you have changed the hostname in /etc/hosts file? right? [17:14] weissi: what do you have in general host name? [17:15] S0me1, no, NetworkManager does that. It modifies the first line automatically! [17:16] weissi: why dont you try wifi-radar? [17:16] archman, I'd like to have olddays. When I boot, I have localhost. Since Xorg gets started when the hostname is set to localhost, it doesn't accept any x-clients when you change the hostname to olddays (and NetworkManager does that!) [17:16] hi, is there anything like "beep" that uses my soundcard rather than a pc speaker? my laptop has no pc speaker [17:17] Tx. Did the trick: Intel 82845G display driver. Any ideas how to get Ubuntu to recognise it?

I have allready removed gdm from the startup scripts. [17:18] archman, S20me, but everyone says it is fixed, but it is not! I already saw 2 computers which have that problem after upgrading to 8.10 [17:18] archman, ok. Thanks [17:19] weissi: try wifi-radar [17:19] weissi: or simply: sly [17:19] weissi: cli*** [17:20] is there a command-line tool where I can see how much network traffic is incoming and outgoing? [17:20] archman, I'm using debian with ifupdown/wpa_supplicant. That's ok. But for my girlfriend it is NOT ok :-) I think ubuntu should work with WLAN out of the box [17:20] bushblows, for vnc you can edit /.vnc/xstartup [17:20] weissi: I think there is a solution :) [17:20] weissi: ooooh, my girlfriend also wants linux...are they nuts? :D:D:D [17:20] but you need time :) [17:21] S0me1, really? [17:21] ndee: nload is one [17:21] ndee: I think there is some kind of network top utility too [17:21] archman, up to 8.04 everything worked fine nearly out of the box, 8.10 is cool, too. But this issue is REALLY BAD! [17:21] thanks for the recommendations :) [17:21] flow up with the above links regarding the bugs you have mentioned [17:21] btw guys anyone fixed 56k modem to work on ibm r50e? i got it working for the hp nx6310... [17:22] * Laspire needs to play a sound through the sound card from a bash script, any idea how? [17:22] how is the hostname SET on startup? I know it is configured in /etc/hostname but what is the mechanism how the system sets it while booting? [17:22] Laspire: aplay [17:22] le peuple :) [17:22] Laspire: or play if you don't want to use alsa [17:22] weissi: honesty, i wish i installed and started learning on debian, not ubuntu...but now...i tweaked everything, so im settled [17:22] archman: I have opened bug regarding this issue with ubuntu , and I think they fixed [17:23] slart: thanks [17:23] Slart: by chance you would know the name of it? [17:23] S0me1: what, for modem? [17:23] hah, nload is actually perfect [17:23] there is the /etc/init.d/hostname script which does that, but how should it get called? (usage is NOT /etc/init.d/hostname start|stop, so a symlink like S01hostname --> ../init.d/hostname is no solution) [17:23] archman, ;-). I like debian much more, too because there is no fucking magic :-) [17:24] archman: montoral [17:24] ndee: can't remember the name... sorry [17:24] weissi sorry for ot: did you have ubuntu or debian first?

[17:25] weissi: is it really that stable they talk? [17:25] I have to push the space bar to boot my ubuntu 8.10 [17:25] what does this mean: make: *** No targets. Stop. [17:25] i did not have to do this with 8.04 lts [17:25] can anyone tell me any softwares for building websites without any programming knowledge [17:26] what happens is it actually boots up and then stops half way in progress bar [17:26] remoteCTRL: just what it says. you'll need to specify a target, like "make clean" or "make all" [17:26] DaCapn: joomla1.5 [17:26] DarkKnight: joomla [17:27] archman, yes. But on my desktop I use unstable.

The second one does talk about a debian bug mentioning that grub2 is to be used. http://www.mepis.org/node/13974, http://refried.org/blog/226/ [17:44] DefunctProcess mac address is not encrypted and can be caught and spoofed [17:45] somewane can please help me !!! y need a driver emulator for windows drivers ... a link or a name please [17:45] cristimarineru: What sort of drivers? [17:45] Jack_Sparrow, The only reason I ask is that there is a bug in the intel 3945 driver that won't allow any type of WEP encryption. [17:45] DefunctProcess: MAC and WEP are completely different things. one is authenticatin and the other is encryption [17:45] !wine > cristimarineru [17:45] cristimarineru, please see my private message [17:45] Jack_Sparrow, thank you I thought so I just needed someone to confirm. [17:45] can we play hardcore games for windows in ubuntu? like crysis, farcry 2, dead space? without drivers and directx, just wine.. [17:45] DefunctProcess If security is an issue, get a card with native drivers. [17:45] bsod1: not yet, afaik [17:46] !appdb > bsod1 [17:46] bsod1, please see my private message [17:46] Jack_Sparrow, iwl3945 is a native driver but its currently suffered a regression. [17:46] how do i add more screensavers? or where do i find some [17:47] Ndiswrapper would be the only way to 'emulate' a windows drivers. [17:47] sidd1, I'm aware but as I mentioned to Jack_Sparrow, my driver has a regression in it that prevents me from using WEP. [17:47] sidd1 it is possible to lock a router to a specific mac hardware address.. [17:47] how can i run swf files? i cant open gnash, its open and close suddenly.. [17:48] Pandemic187: do you use any theme for firefox? [17:48] Thats what I've done, but I figured that the MAC could be found and spoofed. [17:48] how do i add more screensavers? or where do i find some [17:48] Jack_Sparrow: true, but it can be seen and spoofed. [17:48] Hello I'm trying to install Ubuntu manually with the 8.10 version, I can't find the manual install of 8.10 on the web where do I go to get the info? [17:48] sidd1 Did you NOT read my first response to him [17:48] Lol you guys are funny. [17:48] !lamp [17:48] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:48] almark:that y u need here [17:48] Jack_Sparrow: I did and it seemed redundant to say that the mac can be bound [17:49] shrini: yeah, i think i added the dust theme [17:49] Jack_Sparrow, sidd1 thank you. You've both answered my question. [17:49] almark, if you need the alternate install, there should be a checkbox somewhere on the main download page that will direct you. [17:49] Yes that is why I am here [17:49] moreover, does linux give a message that someone has the same mac/ip on the network? [17:49] thanks. [17:49] i suggest u use live cd [17:49] how can i run swf files in ubuntu? without firefox.. [17:49] Using it right now I'm in it [17:49] boot [17:49] sidd1, what does it have to do with linux, wea re talking about the router. [17:50] then install [17:50] DefunctProcess: yes, it was an unrelated thing. I was thinking if someone spoofed my server mac/ip even for a short while, except keeping a careful eye on /var/log/messages, is there another way? [17:50] Pandemic187: disable the theme [17:51] Pandemic187: use a plain default theme adn check [17:51] how do i get more screensavers? [17:51] almark, it seems to have changed. Under the Begin Download button, there is an area to select 32 or 64 bit. To the right, and the text based alternate install is there. [17:51] alright. [17:51] *to the right, the text* [17:51] shrini: Nope, same thing happened. [17:51] i'm getting this error: "Server did not offer supported security type" when I use tightvnc to connect to ubuntu [17:53] I can connect to the machine fine from another ubuntu box === sean is now known as Guest22582 [17:54] hey all === IceW is now known as Guest42864 [17:55] quick question [17:55] my touchpad pastes when I tap the top right corner, and copy if I tap the bottom right corner.. how do I disable these?

[17:56] has anyone run into problems with the alternate cd not installing a bootloader? [17:56] shrini: yep. and besides that, this theme was working just fine for probably 2 months. [17:56] magnetron: the connection is broken [17:57] trying to set up internet connection sharing in firestarter, it doesn't seem to recognise the dhcp server in the dhcp3 package in intrepid [17:57] shrini: i'm led to believe it was a system update or something that caused the issue. [17:57] I have backuped - finally - my entire system. I would like to now upgrade to 7.10. What is the first step I should take? How much free HD should I have? Should I close all programs before I run the upgrade? [17:58] catmando: do the alternate cd and the normal cd install the same version of kernel and bootloader (grub) ?

[18:01] Neaai: it didn't seem to install one at all though [18:01] here is the guide http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceSetup/SyncEngine [18:01] narothepharoh: if you can find more xscreensaver ones they should just drop into the same dir as the others [18:02] narothepharoh: You can install the xscreensaver-data-extra and xscreensaver-gl-extra packages [18:02] ikonia: most are not available to use only some [18:02] narothepharoh: are the ones not available the 3d ones ?

[18:07] is there a way to install ubuntu 8.10 manually? [18:07] almark: What do you mean by manually? [18:08] my touchpad pastes when I tap the top right corner, and copy if I tap the bottom right corner.. how do I disable these? [18:08] is there a gnome applet that behaves like a tray in CDE? [18:08] i.e. can expand to multiple icons, and has a drop target? [18:08] define "manual install" [18:08] If I get a virus(made for windows) on my ubuntu partition can it easily get to the windows partition? [18:09] I'm having a problem with Pidgin 2.5.2 on 8.10 - it appears to be leaking filehandles during use, eventually crashing [18:09] is there a known fix for this? [18:09] fwaokda: not really, windows can't read your ubuntu partition [18:09] fwaokda, depends on the virus, but usually no [18:09] Like install it without it being automatically installed lets me control where it is installed, I have Gentoo on this disk and I don't want to break it and its boot partition, I want to duel boot Gentoo and Ubuntu [18:09] ok ty [18:09] afallenhope|work: side note you may want to hit #ati for some of the mode advanced setups [18:09] almark: You can start with the minimal CD and then apt-get all the packages you want manually. [18:09] can some one help me with installing from binary? [18:09] !minimal | almark [18:09] almark: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:09] right now I'm using the live-cd [18:09] a supremely clever virus could probably cross OS's on next reboot, but nothing like that exists in the wild [18:10] Can it be done with the live-cd 8.10 version? [18:10] almark: No. [18:10] how can I create a 100MB big file? [18:10] fwaokda: You can use clam-av to clean windows viruses from your ubuntu partitions. [18:11] So no matter what I do It will delete my existing boot partition is make it useless [18:11] almark: ubuntu will respect the other partition, and won't overwrite that if you tell it, but as for grub, it will overwrite and install ubuntu grub on MBR, i've had this problem [18:11] Pici, your saying that it will clean up a windows partition that has viruses from ubuntu OR that it will get rid of windows viruses that are on ubuntu? [18:11] is there a way to keep that from happeing, I like my Gentoo grub [18:11] ikonia, #Ati said ask in #ubuntu [18:12] afallenhope|work: really ? [18:12] yuppers [18:12] afallenhope|work: the closed source drivers, how dissapoitning [18:12] afallenhope|work: they are normally quite good with the more advanced settings [18:12] fwaokda: If it has rw access to the windows partition I suppose that it could remove viruses from there as well, but I'm not sure how well that would work in practice. [18:12] oh [18:12] you got me all excited :( [18:12] I need help with installing from binary [18:13] ikonia, I dunno.. [18:13] You see the thing is if I use Ubuntu's way of installing Ubuntu, it wont' install to my logical partition, that is why I wanted a manual install method [18:13] biophile, dpkg-deb -i PACKAGENAME [18:13] biophile what do you want to install [18:13] I'd like something that could work like that because right now i have a PC(laptop) that has ubuntu and windows xp but the windows part has a virus and i'm thinking I'm going to have to format it which I hate doing :( [18:13] how do I install an older version of firefox? [18:14] ikonia: 'neuro evolving robotic operatives' or nero [18:14] almark: for my case i thought the installer would ask where to install grub, it didn't. so after ubuntu wiped out grub, from inside ubuntu i did grub-install /dev/sda3, then booted into my other linux with supergrub and fixed MBR grub from there [18:14] IdleOne: which version ? [18:14] ikonia, 2.0 [18:14] biophile: what do the docs say ? [18:14] fwaokda: It may very well be able to do that, but I don't dual boot nor have I personally needed to do something like that. [18:14] I can't find the docs [18:14] I am trying (finally) to upgrade to 7.10. I have followed the instructions in ubuntu site, and tried to do it via system->update manager. A short while after that, I got a series of errors, including "Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" [18:14] pici, ok thanks I'll read up on it then [18:14] biophile: What binary are you trying to install? [18:14] almark: had the same problem with lvm, ubuntu doesn't use that with the CD the i got :/ [18:14] You know lol I could always just chroot into my Gentoo live cd, and yes badawi that is my thoughts exaclty Do yo like your grub bootloader too? [18:15] that's after it asked me whether I want it to update the sources list [18:15] lvm sounds like a lot of trouble alto [18:15] alot [18:15] peleg: You need to change your sources.list off of old-releases if you are actually starting the upgrade process. [18:15] where can i turn off the system beep in 8.10 - It seems they moved it from 7.10 [18:15] Pici, change to what? [18:15] pici: http://z.cs.utexas.edu/users/nn/nero/downloads/nero2_linux_i386.tar.gz [18:15] almark: i have opensuse as my main linux, from opensuse grub i boot into ubuntu grub or windows directly [18:15] fwaokda: system, preferences, sound.. I think it's called alert sound or someting [18:15] IdleOne: I can't see a firefox 2 package for 8.10 I'm afraid [18:16] peleg: archive.ubuntu.com [18:16] ndee: dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/your.file bs=1024k count=100 [18:16] Pici, ok, thanks [18:16] ikonia, couldn't I use a feisty version? [18:16] What about my boot partition, how do I settle that issue, Ubuntu needs boot, or could I just copy files from Ubuntu boot folder and move to /dev/boot in Gentoo? [18:16] Slart, I went there but its different than the system beep. I get the system beep when doing various things in the terminal and it doesn't sound the same as the sound effect listed for alert [18:16] idleone, nope [18:17] i'm getting this error: "Server did not offer supported security type" when I use vnc to connect from windows to ubuntu, thanks [18:17] ikonia, ok thanks [18:17] biophile: the documentation is on the website you posted [18:17] me too badawi I have a duel boot xp gentoo system [18:17] biophile: so you please read the documentation on the website [18:17] nobody want to help me.... ;( [18:17] ok, this isn't about ubuntu persay, but anyone know of any hostname length restriction in Linux or common Linux programs? I mean a SHORT restriction, something like 12 chars? [18:17] lasivian: How have you enabled the vnc server within Ubuntu? [18:18] mDemocritus: then ask in ##linux [18:18] hi all [18:18] pici: remote desktop [18:18] lasivian: And did you enable a password? [18:18] only a password required [18:18] 8.10 on MacBookPro Santa Rosa - anyone figure out how to adjust the brightness?

[18:19] and it's listed in the gconf correctly as base64 [18:19] badawi I'll take your advice on reinstalling grub, its not that much trouble, things could be worse. [18:19] biophile: we are not here to support 3rd party apps [18:19] almark: you don't have to install ubuntu on lvm, after you finish the installtion you can install the lvm packages and mount the lvm drives as usual, but booting can't be from lvm as far as i know [18:19] somebody can help me with synce please....I'm so sad.... [18:19] and I can connect from another ubuntu machine [18:19] IE, find out what IPs it is sending packets to and when?

[19:23] cousteau, Nibblyn: Nibblyn's removing old kernel versions, not downgrading kernels. I don't think cousteau's advice applies ;) [19:23] ok, forget about my comment [19:23] badawi: Hmm, apparently not. I guess if I changed the language at the login screen only GDM_LANG would change? === sean is now known as Guest37730 [19:24] rubystallion: no both should change in theory [19:24] rubystallion: testing ...

[19:29] rww: I guess it did... === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [19:29] peleg: You should only have to change it to old-releases to make sure that you have update-manager upgraded to the latest version. After that you should change it to archive.u.com and then try to upgrade. [19:30] badawi: Did you test if both locales change normally? [19:30] What's funner, TrueCombat Elite or Urban Terror? [19:31] anyone know what's wrong if apache is only working on localhost and not my IP address? I haven't restarted ubuntu yet.

I mean there has to be a configuration file somewhere, where LANG is set to fr_FR@euro, doesn't there? [19:34] peleg: Is that after you click the button to upgrade to a new release? [19:34] Wargasm: i dont know the defaults well, but it's possible that apache only binds to localhost due to security reasons. [19:35] true, zsquareplusc....I'll go through the config file. thanks.

[19:42] Hello, the Ubuntu install will not let me choose the disk that I want to install it. The disk it wants to install on is my second disk, how Do I install Ubuntu to the first disk, that has Gentoo on it? [19:43] us.archive is down ?

[19:43] ZeZu: nope, just slow [19:44] :cousteau yes but it keeps taking me to sdb not sda that is my problem, and there is no option to do so.

I'll handle that. thanks! [19:52] Slade605: the speaker icon in your desktop may change [19:52] peleg: apt-get clean :-) you might have a bunch of debs from the last upgrade [19:52] zsquareplusc, thanks! [19:52] or, hover the speaker icon, read the volume, use the vol keys and hover the icon again [19:52] cousteau: That is the wierd thing, the onscreen volume level shows up and changes it, it USED TO work before getting my mic to work but now this doesn't adjust anything [19:53] msivanich: no it isn't loading. in Section "Device" I see Identifier - "Configured Video Device" [19:53] cousteau: It feels like it's adjusting something I am not using like a surround sound speaker or something like that [19:53] Slade605: double-click the icon so you can see all your controls [19:54] !ftp client [19:54] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [19:54] cousteau: did that, and when i press it up or down it shows change, but none of them move, for playback or recording [19:54] !gFTP [19:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about gFTP [19:54] do you know how to clean evolution's cache? I have about 1 GB there.. [19:54] how do i edit my "PATH variable"?

[19:55] also i try to save something in gedit and it crashes [19:55] is there a verbose flag in grub? or do i just remove the quiet flag? [19:55] your PATH is in ~/.profile Omikane_ [19:55] msivanich: no I only see that line [19:55] * omshanti ^ [19:56] badawi: you mean to see info text during boot? remove the quiet flag [19:56] Slade605: which device is selected when you right-click the volume icon and select "preferences"? [19:56] what tronyx? [19:56] rww: yes that, do i replace it with verbose? [19:56] mine is "ALSA mixer, Master mono" [19:56] badawi: nope, just remove quiet. the default is verbose [19:56] cousteau: Master, under the HDA intel (ALSA Mixer) [19:56] rww: great thanks [19:57] hi. anyone got their sound working with this build in soundcard motherboard. abit AI7?? can someone please help, I cannot get my sound working :( [19:57] cousteau: when using the volume control with my mouse I adjust master under HDA intel and I can hear a clear difference in volume === cexpert1 is now known as TBotNi1 === TBotNi1 is now known as TBotNik1 [19:58] but you can't hear any difference when you use the keys? [19:58] cousteau: and the icon matches the actual volume, the keys don't adjust the icon at all [19:58] anyone else unable to copy/paste from local to remote (or vice versa i guess) in rdesktop? [19:58] cousteau: it does the whole onscreen speaker and volume level when I use the keys [19:58] maybe the keys are affecting another control, or no one [19:59] cousteau: that is what I am thinking, I just don't have any idea how to change it [19:59] oh, like the built-in amplifier [19:59] cousteau: I did system >preferences > keyboard short cuts, and it's setup correctly [20:00] w do I change the timer on boot from 10 seconds to 3seconds. Thank you [20:00] cousteau: I just added a few more items to playback, and it looks like it's affecting microphone playback [20:00] Creative Labs SB Audigy LS; on Ubuntu 8.10 am I just SOL?

[20:01] yes [20:01] I mean to say, does a Creative Labs SB Audigy LS make any sound onUbuntu 8.10?

[20:03] kristian1: it should upgrade to the highest version currently in the repositories [20:03] boriscy: Feisty is no longer supported, and thus its repositories have been removed from archive.ubuntu.com. You'll need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change the servernames in there to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [20:03] Hi. [20:04] Slade605 ok thanks. :) [20:04] I have run apt-get update, but can't isntall using apt-get install [20:04] boriscy: see rww's comment above [20:04] cousteau, command still not found [20:04] what does apt-get say ? [20:04] which command? gedit? [20:05] I have 1 hdd with WinXp, i bought one more for [k]ubuntu, so how install it for that i can choose which OS load, and if i want i could disconnect ubuntu, and then no menu appear and xp loads [20:05] Thanx :D [20:05] boriscy: if you only just installed Ubuntu, /strongly/ consider reinstalling a more recent version [20:05] its somehting to configure linux disk, for that opop up table with choose, and if no that hdd then no table for OS [20:05] I have installed ubuntu server [20:05] rww [20:05] Kozeris: do you want your 2nd disc to be bootable AND your first disk? [20:06] i have 1 disk with xp, i will connect 2nd, then instal on 2nd ubuntu [20:06] * heret1c wakes [20:06] and want to that when 2nd hdd is connected i getting choose menu of operation sys [20:06] but if i disc 2nd hard with linux i not getting, and it loading like it was, and is now [20:06] is there a way to test whether a script has been run with sudo? [20:06] Kozeris: Do you want them to know about each other or is it a wife/mistress situation? [20:07] boriscy: Right. You just installed Ubuntu Server Feisty, which is from 2007. The lastest version is Ubuntu Server Intrepid (Oct. 2008). The latest Long Term Support release is Ubuntu Server Hardy (April 2008). [20:07] or otherwise force sudo for all the commands in the script? [20:07] KaiForce: add su to the beginning of it? [20:07] KaiForce: "sudo su" logs you as root [20:07] boriscy: you have to change your package sources in /etc/apt/sources.list [20:07] KaiForce: just put sudo in the script. If you run the script with sudo, all sudo commands will be executed as sudo [20:07] Kozeris: change the boot order in bios and install ubuntu on the second disk, with grub being on the second disk, when u're bored with ubuntu, switch the bios boot order to it's original form [20:08] probably to the archive version [20:08] salut [20:08] j'arrive po à agrandir une photo sous gimp [20:08] cousteau: the preferred way of doing that is sudo -i [20:08] anyway I would install a more recent version [20:08] !fr | chico [20:08] chico: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [20:08] !fr | chico [20:08] if place sudo at the beginning of the script - the remaining commands will execute as sudo? or do I need sudo on each line? [20:08] mebus [20:08] fwiw: "-r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD" lets you copy paste to/from rdesktop [20:08] how should I do that [20:08] quit [20:08] KaiForce: SuDo = Super User DO, it's per command, try adding su for a super user login initially [20:09] i need to insure that sudo is used as the sysadmin is absentminded [20:09] sorry, that's the problem I had with an old ubuntu [20:09] Slade605: got it, that will work, thank you. [20:09] what error message do you get when you run sudo apt-get install .... [20:09] boriscy: if you only just installed Ubuntu, it'd probably be easier to just download a CD image from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download === progex is now known as omar [20:09] just to be curious [20:09] rww: I agree. [20:10] It's more secure also. [20:10] boriscy: and wipe the install you just did and install intrepid/hardy from scratch. [20:10] Thanx [20:11] Why does Ubuntu move the package sources to another URL, whe the release becomes to old ? I don't think that this is a good solution. [20:11] and rather anoying [20:12] Slade605 - what is the best way to test if the user entered the correct password - I need the script to abort if they do not. [20:12] mebus: if you are upgrading release they are updated for you [20:12] KaiForce: use && after su ? [20:12] Does the 8.10 xubuntu install CD's kernel have ext4 support? [20:12] but I don't want to upgrade [20:12] Constrabus no [20:12] mebus: to cut down on the resources needed by the distributed mirrors [20:12] cause an upgrade can go wrong [20:12] KaiForce: It really depends on the script [20:13] they could redirect the URL to another mirror. [20:13] mebus: the old releases archive isn't mirrored. the new one is. [20:13] evening all === [1]Stooge is now known as [0]Stooge [20:13] when i create a new user and then log into their account, nothing works [20:13] anyone else here use Cairo-Dock ?? Having some issues with it [20:13] the desktop and panels load up but nothing responds to click, except the firefox launcher, but then you cant do anything in firefox... ie. cant type any addresses in etc. [20:13] rww: they simply don't want to provide mirrors for the old version - I understand. [20:13] mebus: an install can go wrong, anything can go wrong [20:14] but my log in works fine... its just for new users [20:14] mebus: you can use backports [20:14] mebus: besides, those releases are unsupported now. there's been plenty of warning that they'd be unsupported. it's kinda the user's problem at this point :P [20:14] cant drop any of the menus down, like apps, places, system... noting responds [20:14] have tried creating serveral users, all do the same thing ;/ [20:14] yes, but I think I had only one succesufl distri-upgrade in about 4 to 5 [20:15] mebus: my system hardware is 100% linux friendly works out of the box and I only use official repos [20:15] mebus: zero issues here [20:15] ActionParsnip, mine wasnt... kinda [20:15] my x-fi card took some work hehe [20:16] j0nr: are you creating their own folders? are you running out of space? [20:16] I think it's because I sometimes use debs from other side or install software via make install etc. Which is realy bad. [20:16] Brydenn: thats because creative are idiots [20:16] anyway, does anyone use that Cairo-Dock? could really use some help [20:16] ActionParsnip, yes i agree [20:16] badawi: i am not running out of space... they all automatically get their own directory created... have a seperate partition for /home [20:16] how do I make pulseaudio persist across X sessions? [20:16] Brydenn: always check the hcl. dont buy cheap, buy smart [20:17] Does the development LiveCD have ext4 support built into its kernel? [20:17] is there a way to put multiple ISOs on a usb key and be able to boot any of them? [20:17] x-fi fatality wasnt a cheap sound card lol [20:17] Constrabus: no [20:17] mebus: that'll be why you get issues [20:17] (i.e., persist means "keep running") [20:17] If I install updates on Ubuntu, will it result into a system fluctuations likely the windows updates ? [20:17] Brydenn: depends how much money you have [20:17] ActionParsnip, well i'm not bill gates. 100+ on a sound card for me is spendy [20:17] ActionParsnip: yup and that's why I stay with old releases on machines I only sometimes use. [20:17] bmk789: hmm... I dunno, but I'd look into the chain-loading capabilities of grub [20:18] Brydenn: its only 85GBP [20:18] ikonia Not as a choise to install with, just compiled into the kernel. Im using ubuntu liveCD's terminal to install gentoo [20:18] well i'm American :) [20:18] j0nr: what if you do ctrl+alt+f1, log in then -> startx -- :1 [20:18] Constrabus: no [20:18] but I should probably use another distro for this like debian or so. [20:18] ikonia k Thank you [20:18] jonaskoelker: ok thanks [20:18] mebus: try a few distros, there is more than debian, try mandrive / suse === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar [20:19] I want to try the new 11.1 suse on my thinkpad.

[20:27] _ruben gave me this script (http://paste.ubuntu.com/82978/) earlier to day, but i'm only getting "command not found" error.

[20:29] hi [20:29] Scix: how are you trying to run the script? [20:29] any known issues when working with long (multiline) bash prompts? [20:29] does anyone know why after installing 8.10 all usb devices stops working after 5-10mins? [20:29] j0nr: for me when gnome miss behaves like that, it's when there are more than on login for the same user to gnome, like vnc and freenx, but in u're case i don't know what's going on [20:30] hi all, after resuming from sleep, I sometimes have klogd that eat 100% of the CPU (but there are no kernel messages or anything is being logged in /var/log), any idea what is the problem ?

[20:31] danopia: yeah, that's corruption. [20:31] Gnea, so how would i be able to use long commands? [20:31] i can USE htem but editing them is hard [20:31] danopia: change your prompt [20:32] how do i control how much history is saved in the command line? [20:32] Hi, all.

I have downloaded some that when played in a program or device that uses them it show it. However some songs don't have it. Particularly my psp is where I would like to have it. Rhthymbox of course downloads them but doesn't make it as part of the file. [20:56] split window 1: window1 [20:56] can anyone identify the processors in this photo? http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/646/1421g413b3n03m83p18bg88jm5.jpg [20:56] digitalvaldosta try using easytag [20:56] digitalvaldosta use easy tag....Free editing program [20:56] digitalvaldosta: use stamp under wine, its an excallant ID3 Tag editor, unless someoone here knows about an OSS-Application (alternative) [20:56] digitalvaldosta: I'm not sure but I think you can do it easyTAG [20:57] digitalvaldosta: i dont think mp3 supports that, you can do it with something like amarok, but that uses a seperate store for the art, rather than the actual mp3 itself [20:57] cat file.txt | awk '{print $1}' <--- Only prints the VERY first line of the file. Only having this problem on my linux machine, my openbsd machine works correctly. ideas anyone? [20:57] digitalvaldosta: with memory based mp3 players and the like, you'd have to check how the art is stored and pander to its needs [20:57] DEViUS: easyTAG is a great alternative [20:57] I have done it with Easy tag, works really good, use it with ampache. [20:57] digitalvaldosta: yes yes right use easytag thanks for that [20:58] anfy, no, the picture is too bad [20:58] rjune: mk [20:58] I want it to return X lines, X being the # of lines in file.txt [20:58] rjune: I know they are xeons, just not sure what vintage [20:58] why skype team do not provide skype 3 for ubuntu? [20:58] CapaH: are they at the top or bottom of the file? [20:58] anfy, is a fine picture, but not enough resolution to really id them [20:58] ValentineXX: ask them [20:59] rjune: it's off of craigslist, cant get any higher res [20:59] ActionParsnip: lol [20:59] ActionParsnip, Every line of the file :) [20:59] ActionParsnip: they have irc channel? [20:59] Devius, is easytag in the repos? [20:59] ActionParsnip : works in bios. and interestingly, it works on the gnome login screen - but once i get in, nada. [20:59] digitalvaldosta: yes it is there [20:59] ValentineXX: dunno, you could email them and ask [20:59] digitalvaldosta: yes it is there sudo apt-get install easytag [20:59] ok I will try it out real quick and let y'all know what success I have. [21:00] Thanks everyone [21:00] Hi, does anyone know how to change default paths from places menu? [21:00] digitalvaldosta: np [21:00] omeneek: default paths for what plz be more specific [21:01] Does anyone use gmobilemedia? [21:01] DEViUS: Documents, Music etc - those from places menu [21:01] omeneek: do you want to add a place or change their location [21:01] omeneek: you can use ubuntu-tweak to change that [21:02] I am having an apache2 problem. I just dropped files in /var/www to use for an online game. The moment i play the web base game and it goes to use the image pack, the system slows down to a crawl and wont respond. I can go through localhost and browse all the files no problem, and the system doesnt hang while apache service is running, but whenever i go to the game page, the system hangs and lag really badly [21:02] http://textsnip.com/b2474f <<< my ps aux [21:02] CapaH: well if you wanna see a nmber of lines from a file would they be at the start or end or ni the middle? [21:02] hello [21:02] DEViUS: change location, addin is easy [21:02] both my cpus are at 100% when my problem occurs, but the processes doesnt show that much cpu usage [21:03] omeneek: emm am not sure, sry [21:03] omeneek: let me search around [21:04] can anyone mention a good online port scanner? [21:04] !bot [21:04] 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 [21:04] kristian1: that doesn't sound like an Ubuntu related question to me [21:04] kristian1: i use nmap from command line [21:05] kristian1, there are nmap based web interfaces [21:05] kristian1: wireshark? [21:05] LjL : yeah, sorry about that. [21:05] kristian1: nmap [21:05] kristian1: try #ubuntu-offtopic [21:05] heret1c: wireshark isnt a port scanner [21:05] (did you all miss the "online" part?) [21:05] LjL : will do. === balau_ is now known as balau [21:06] thanks everyone else, will try nmap and wireshark\ [21:06] LjL, nope, hence the reason I ponted him to a web based nmap [21:06] kristian1: wireshark isnt a port scanner [21:06] kristian1: wireshark is like a GUI to tcpdump [21:06] DEViUS: ah. thought I saw that function in it. [21:06] !info wireshark [21:06] wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 608 kB, installed size 1520 kB [21:06] rjune: right, you were the only one though... [21:07] Devius, easytag was basically what I was asking for. But is there one that is more automatic like Rhythmbox is? [21:07] LjL, it helps to read the question. :-) [21:07] kristian1: i doubt that [21:07] kristian1: sry wrong person [21:08] is there a graphical traceroute app? [21:08] lesshaste: yeah, xtraceroute is one [21:08] digitalvaldosta: i doubt [21:08] LjL, [21:08] thanks [21:08] lesshaste: it also depends what you mean by "graphical" (*geo*graphical or not) [21:08] digitalvaldosta: unless you go foe non-oss app's and am as well (unsure) [21:08] Does anyone know why left and down arrows would not repeat when held down? up and right work fine. left and down do what they are supposed to they just don't repeat. [21:09] lesshaste: why would you need it, its just gonna put the output in a box, like a terminal [21:09] LjL, geographical but xtraceroute doesn't seem to be htere [21:09] lesshaste: ah by the way, the package name for xtraceroute is xt [21:09] ActionParsnip, a pic would be nice [21:09] lesshaste: pic of what? [21:09] LjL, ah thanks [21:09] ActionParsnip: install xt and see [21:09] :S well guess i will look for the creator of the app 'easytag' and suggest it to them. thanks again. (I only do open source. Proprietary is now the coaster for my softdrink) [21:09] ActionParsnip, of the hops taken [21:10] LjL: installing now [21:10] digitalvaldosta: lol [21:10] lol [21:11] * digitalvaldosta is now leaving. [21:11] lesshaste: i knew of another one with a possibly cuter interface (and perhaps more update geolocation data), but i honestly can't remember what it was - not something in the repos anyway [21:11] lesshaste: i would say use http://visualiptrace.visualware.com/ online and geo........ [21:11] LjL, I am trying xt now.. it doesn't seem to work yet but we shall see [21:12] lesshaste, the database it uses is old, try a few addresses [21:12] Hi All [21:13] LjL: this is god slow [21:13] LjL: but gui stuf always is [21:16] !netsplit [21:16] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [21:18] Hi, I just bought a VB8001 mini-itx motherboard and now when I try to get to the login screen the computer crashes, what could cause that? [21:18] Hey guys, I am having some issue file sharing a folder on a HD that is NTFS, it's setup in /media/Media/music, and I did sudo chmod 777 music while in that directory, no errors, but it won't let me share it, any suggestions? [21:18] sluimers: What do you mean it crashes? is it just not going to an x screen?? [21:18] sluimers: boot to failsafe and check dmesg [21:18] well my internet connection to the US has been slow [21:19] looool everyone back on [21:19] Slade605: You ar tryin to share it over the network or what? [21:19] my god that was a huge net split, my irc app is freezing as i type, the text is scrolling so fast, sure are a lot of users here [21:19] lesshaste: (resending, not sure you got it due to the netsplit) lesshaste: however, it seems to use a separate script for determining an address's location (/usr/share/xtraceroute/xtraceroute-resolve-location.sh), so you might tweak that script to use other GeoIP services [21:19] ph0rensic, yes and I also cannot go to any other terminal prompt [21:20] LjL-Simmons, that is very interesting.. so I need to find a good geoip service [21:20] hello everybody, I am using hardy, dont want to upgrade to intrepid but want the lastest gnome 2.24. How can I do so? [21:20] ph0rensic: yeah, I want to use it for my laptop [21:20] ActionParsnip: it shouldn't be especially slow, not more than "traceroute" (which is what it uses as a backend, anyway). it will easily be slower than "tracepath" though [21:20] kushalsejwal: just upgrade gnome [21:20] DEViUS: How? [21:20] lesshaste: there are a couple geoip libraries (apt-cache search geoip will give you the ones that are actually called geoip ;) in the repos [21:21] need help - booted up live cd got to login screen and it asking or password [21:21] ActionParsnip, I can dmesg in a terminal prompt [21:22] sluimers: Have you checked your config files to make sure it is allowing the access? [21:22] sluimers: then pipe it into less an have a read [21:23] I'm following some directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1850156 and when I `sudo checkinstall make install`, it doesn't work and tries to think that the default install path is /usr/local, but there's no place to set that (the ./configure script doesn't accept the --prefix argument), has anyone else done this or know if the ubuntu-method of making .deb files has changed in the past couple of years? [21:23] ActionParsnip, I'm not that linux savvy, what should I look for? [21:23] Sweet netsplit :) [21:24] sluimers: just any sort of errors or warning [21:24] ph0rensic, which config files should I look into? [21:24] are 3 floodbots really necessary? lol [21:24] Slade605: Did you check the config files? [21:24] sluimers: sorry i wrote that to the wrong person [21:24] sluimers: you could try booting to recovery and repairing xorg.conf to see if its better some [21:25] need help - booted up live cd got to login screen and it asking for password but iv not even installed yet ... ALT F1 get " loading , please wait" [21:25] ActionParsnip: sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg maybe??? [21:25] BwaddArr: what's more necessary: 3 flood bots or asking 1000 people to just up and leave? :) [21:25] installed ubuntu yesterday. installed it to one hd(80gb), but i cant find the other hd (200gb) via ubuntu. what shall i do?

Its just - I never was was ther before... === tripitakit_ is now known as tripitakit [22:05] Quick question, every time i log out, or reboot, numlock gets turned off. does anyone know how to fix this? PS it is set to on in my bios [22:05] ah the joys of banning [22:05] <|{urse> tlex you can set that in your bios [22:06] hello, I'm having a problem with my cdrom drive, first, it seems like it attempts to mount cds twice. The second time, giving me an error stating that I don't have permission at it's read only or something. I also cannot seem to burn cds [22:06] it is set to be on in my bios [22:06] can anyone help me? all compiz settings are enable, still no cube? [22:06] brasero tells me every blank cd I put in has 0 bytes available [22:06] <|{urse> thats odd tlex, lemme google that [22:06] thanks [22:06] cmv583: have you ran: compiz --replace & 2>/dev/null [22:06] <|{urse> whats your mobo model? [22:07] ActionParsnip: no not yet [22:07] Censer: ok well then you might as well stay here :) [22:07] cmv583: thats why then [22:07] hey, I haven't installed ubuntu in a while, but last time I did, it was a pain that the install disk was a cdrom, and I had to download a lot of files after that [22:07] whats the most easy-to-use cad-like program? cant find anything good on linux, or does someone know any good channel to ask that? [22:07] JohnE: windows is identical [22:08] nuit!! [22:08] what does that mean ActionParsnip ? [22:08] JohnE: the cd has the latest files at the time but updates will then need installing [22:08] <|{urse> tlex try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [22:08] jolter: right... its just that i cant explain my problem very well... [22:08] ok thanks [22:08] ok, but opensuse has a 4GB dvd full of rpms [22:08] <|{urse> ^^ lemme know if it worked [22:08] why can't I get a large version of ubuntu? [22:08] ActionParsnip: not sure what happened. u want result? will that help [22:09] I've installed sql-ledger package, now how do I use it? [22:09] for that matter, can I just locally host a 20GB repository or something, so I can do local installs faster? [22:09] JohnE yes, easy to do [22:09] macjason0607:diskfree [22:09] cmv583: well you arent running compiz until you run that command, you can configure all you want but if its not running, the settings dont do anything [22:09] JohnE: which version of Ubuntu do you want a DVD for? Intrepid? [22:09] JohnE it is around 6 dvd's [22:09] <|{urse> yes JohnE or you can look into using partimage over the network [22:10] this all sounds good [22:10] <|{urse> kind of like a ghostcast server [22:10] JohnE the inrepid dvd inclueds the repo "Main" [22:10] <|{urse> if you are familiar with that [22:10] I'm not too familiar with ubuntu, I come from opensuse [22:11] i have a centos server locally, and some laptops I want to put hardy and intrepid on [22:11] ActionParsnip: thanx, still no cube? [22:11] JohnE: i'd use the system as is til you get comfy with it, then start getting deeper [22:11] whats the most easy-to-use cad-like program? cant find anything good on linux, or does someone know any good channel to ask that? [22:11] Jack_Sparrow, you're a smart guy, do you have any suggestions for an online resource that will explain in newb friendly terms how to compile a custom kernel with built-in drivers? [22:11] can I start some download to the centos server, and then use partimage scp from the centos server? [22:11] nbeebo: Did you think if cad works on wine? [22:11] DefunctProcess nope [22:11] JohnE: Intrepid DVDs are at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/ . Hardy DVDs are at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ . Either way, you're going to end up downloading a bunch of updates, so a local repository might be a smarter idea. [22:11] cmv583: are you using ctrl+alt+ mouse 1? [22:12] yeah, I think a repository mirror sounds smarter [22:12] Ok another question: Anyone know of a good place to get ATI video card drivers for ubuntu? both the manufacturer 'fglrx' drivers and drivers that come with ubuntu have issues with visual effects so I have to turn them off (which isnt fun). Are there any others? [22:12] I have a TB on my server [22:12] <|{urse> JohnE ive never used centos but im sure you can compile partimage and write a small script for it [22:12] <|{urse> very easy [22:13] cmv583: make sure you have 4 viewpors in your settings too [22:13] ph0rensic, theres lots of cad programs on linux [22:14] how to open links with firefox on xchat? cant find it in the settings [22:14] ActionParsnip: not sure what u mean? [22:14] nbeebo: go back ot , I' ll look now [22:15] nbeebo: Perhaps make firefox your "default" browser? [22:15] nbeebo, ctrl+click on the link [22:15] hi, how does the package manager deals with different compilation flags? I mean, for example, if I want to run 'directfb' compile with '--enable-sdl', or even if I want to have '--enable-debug', how can I procede? [22:16] dasei, sorry i dont understand, malcom2073 i think i do, havent installed any other browser on ubuntu desktop, balau ok good to know thanks [22:16] nbeebo: in firefox, edit -> preferences, advanced tab, at the bottom "Check Now" I think will let you set it as default if it's no [22:16] Just a thought heh [22:16] cmv583: ok in ccsm, go to general options [22:16] malcom2073 thanks, it was [22:17] well then I'm out of ideas atm :( sorry heh [22:17] is the regular driver module for ATI cards ati? [22:17] malcom2073 ;_; no problem lol [22:17] cmv583: and set horizontal size under the desktop size tab to 3 or 4 [22:17] msivanich: depends on your card. some use ati, some use radeon, some use radeonhd, if i remember correctly [22:18] nbeebo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83173/ [22:18] rww: radion hd 2600 [22:18] hey rww nice to see you back [22:18] rww: Are there any others places to get ATI drives besides the ones that come with ubuntu, and the "proprietary" drives you can get from ati? [22:18] like third party drives [22:18] drivers* [22:19] is there a way to print out the list of flags used to compile the ubuntu kernel? [22:19] malcom2073: you could try envyng-gtk [22:19] k I'll give that a try, neither the ubuntu or ati drivers work :-/ [22:19] malcom2073: the only places I'd recommend getting ATI drivers is from the repos. Try the ones I listed above, or fglrx (which is also in the repos). [22:19] dasei, thanks alot ill try all of that [22:19] ActionParsnip: no cube just cylinder [22:20] malcom2073, msivanich: but lots of other people know more than me about ati drivers. I just use radeon and put up with it :) [22:20] im having an apache 2 problem making my entire system stop responding, can some one please help me?

[22:20] cmv583: yeah i got that. i think its funny. not sure, least you got it working some, i'd ask in #compiz [22:20] mastershihochief-> can you get to a console ctrl+alt+F1 ? [22:21] I don't see it in Jaunty even [22:21] hi, i'm using the broadcom sta drivers with 8.10 and it was working fine a few days ago but lately I can't connect wirelessly [22:21] nbeebo: xchat opens the default browser of your sys, unles you not cópy the url manually, so got to set your default browser [22:21] i have wpa on the router [22:21] Sweetandy: we should be seeing it in the next RC [22:21] envyng-qt is the only one avail, apparently they don't have a gtk version out yet? O_o [22:21] mastershihochief, that's a lot of vagueness. Could you give more detail? How do you know it's an Apache problem? [22:21] Sweetandy: Officially? It's not going to be in intrepid (except maybe in backports). It will be in jaunty. [22:21] ya [22:21] <|{urse> oh yeah i forgot to ask what i came here for.. are there any other compositing wm's besides xcompmgr that i can use with openbox? [22:21] malcom2073: try tab completing after envyng [22:21] Yeah I did ActionParsnip, I got it saying "is envyng-qt installed?" when I typed envyng-gtk [22:21] lol [22:22] rww: yeah i dont need any special effects just trying to set up a 2 video card setup 1-nvidia 1-ati card. Trying to set up my xorg.conf file hoping to have seperate x sessions [22:22] I can live with qt though [22:22] oh hey, the OO3 PPA is back up :) [22:22] do any of you have broadcom wireless cards and are using wpa? [22:22] n8tuser: yes i can ctrl+alt+f1 [22:22] ActionParsnip: thanx. new to ubuntu how do i go to #compiz? [22:22] and intrepid [22:22] cmv /j #Channelname [22:22] Hi there. My USB printer was working fine but all of a sudden it stopped working after trying to print something else. It's detected in my Printers, and print jobs are sent to the queue but it just hangs at "processing" [22:22] malcom2073: you could try qt, you will install qt libs but if you dont mind the bloat go for it, it might be too bad [22:23] Jack_Sparrow: /join #channelname the RFC dosent not specify that alias must be defined :P [22:23] <|{urse> /join === matteo_ is now known as littleteo [22:23] ActionParsnip: I write in qt, so I already have the libs :P [22:23] running /etc/init.d/cups status returns: cupsd is running .. so I'm at a loss at what could be wrong. any tiops? [22:23] malcom2073 What? [22:23] nduff: whenever i go to sites where i am loading images from my localhost my system stops [22:23] malcom2073: then: sudo apt-get install envyng-qt && gksudo envyng-qt [22:23] DasEi, firefox were default, and i tried xdg-open 'http://www.google.com' and it opened in firefox, so i guess ill live with ctrl+click.. well thanks alot for ur help! :D [22:23] how do I update from hardy to intrepid? [22:23] Yeah I got it, running now [22:23] !upgrade | lesshaste [22:23] lesshaste: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:24] thx [22:24] lesshaste You must go through gutsy to do it [22:24] yo what is the gnome pdf viewer called? [22:24] lesshaste: i'd suggest the server method via cli [22:24] I have LTSP server and I would like to use old laptop as LTSP client. Problem is the PCMCIA network adapter, which is not recogniced by Etherboot boot disk. Netboot might be one option, but I failed to understand how it is used. Can anyone help? [22:24] Jack_Sparrow, no :) [22:24] The only ATI driver it shows, I have and is enabled apparently [22:24] lesshaste: you can just use the built in update manger from Ubuntu [22:24] nbeebo: keep the nights long :D [22:24] <|{urse> any other compositing wm's besides xcompmgr that i can use with openbox? [22:24] graft: gpdf or xpdf [22:24] Jack_Sparrow, g, h, i [22:24] Jack_Sparrow: Sorry I was nitpicking, :P [22:24] dasei, :D [22:24] lesshaste: I think Jack_Sparrow had a brain fart ;) [22:24] Jacksparrow: where do i enter that? [22:25] lol [22:25] yep.. [22:25] rww, no problem :0 [22:25] :) [22:25] anyone know the name of the program that splits the terminal in half? [22:25] ActionParsnip: nope, it's something else... the "Document Viewer" thing? [22:25] cmv583 right on this line [22:25] nbeebo: screen [22:25] <|{urse> nbeebo terminator [22:25] terminator? [22:25] <|{urse> oh yeah [22:25] ok, so apparently I already have the envyng driver, and it has problems too [22:25] mastershihochief, ...interesting. Other connectivity to localhost works? Have you checked for a fork bomb in a CGI or similar maliciousness? [22:25] graft: i'd use xpdf personally, its nice and light. do you mean ghostview [22:25] ActionParsnip: no, it's definitely a gnome app [22:25] <|{urse> fork bomb makes sense nDuff, i was gonna say thatr] [22:26] kk thanks [22:26] graft: then thats all i got, maybe someone else can help [22:26] nDuff, i have only used linux for 8 days now i dont know what that is XD. I just installed it yesterday so i could use graphics packs on a web based game [22:26] mastershihochief, It might be interesting to have htop already running (and apache at a very low priority) while you trigger the problem [22:26] how do i do that [22:26] ActionParsnip, at really low resolution I can a very twisted login screen, vertical black lines and colours all wrong [22:26] anyone? the GNOME pdf viewer, what's it called? [22:26] evince [22:26] graft: it's evince [22:26] So, nobody else knows of any other ATI drivers than the open source repo ones, and the ATI proprietary ones? [22:26] ActionParsnip, at really low resolution I can a see very twisted login screen, vertical black lines and colours all wrong [22:27] graft I used kpdf as the default seemed slower to me [22:27] rww, nope not it, |{urse and evilgnome, thanks, ill recommend it to the mate who asked for it [22:27] evilgnome: ah thankee [22:27] sluimers: are the gfx onboard or is it a card? [22:27] It's a card [22:27] ActionParsnip, onboard [22:27] oh [22:27] not asking me [22:27] mastershihochief, that's a bit more involved than I can walk a complete noob through right now, unfortunately -- I'm at work, and so need to be getting at least some level of productivity. [22:27] lol sorry [22:27] malcom2073: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:27] Jack_Sparrow: you still using 3.5.9/10? [22:27] sluimers: can you boot to livecd ok? [22:27] malcom2073: think you are out of luck m8, not so many ppl working on them likethe nvidia ones. [22:28] Yeah, I knew I should've switched to nvidia before buying this $500 pos :-/ [22:28] graft which app? [22:28] <|{urse> malcom2073, did you try envy like suggested?> [22:28] Kurse: yes [22:28] Jack_Sparrow: kpdf... or do you mean okular? [22:28] ok je suis la [22:28] <|{urse> oh what exactly are you needing to do?

[22:40] aboucher: Jaunty discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks [22:40] Gnea: my dvd rw drive is kicking my ass [22:40] it wont let me burn anything [22:40] Oh, I guess that makes sense [22:40] evilgnome: whats the output of: which emerald [22:40] ok [22:40] Most gui programs probably arent programmed to run without an x server :P [22:40] rww: if malcom2073 were to run his programs in the screen app, and restart x, would they still be running? [22:40] keeps telling me the available space is 0 bytes in brasero and any other app i use [22:40] Demios: what about k3b? [22:40] Demios: have you tried a few different burning apps? have you tried setting burning speed lower [22:41] ActionParsnip: still not, but aptitude has uninstalled libemeraldengine0. which emerald gives no output [22:41] ActionParsnip: some apps wont even let me burn because "there is no room" [22:41] eseven73: "screen app" as in the "screen" command in Terminal? Yes if they're command-line, no if they're GUI apps (which is what he's talking about). [22:41] my DVD player worked, but now it doesn't. What can I do? thanks. [22:41] Demios: that makes no sense - no room where? [22:41] eseven73: I think that's the case, anyway. I don't feel like restarting X11 to find out. [22:41] lepke: hello [22:41] on the blank cdrs [22:41] Demios: can you give the exact error please [22:42] i know you guys are busy , but can i ask a question [22:42] ActionParsnip: any ideas pls? [22:42] !ask | Don [22:42] Don: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:42] eternaljoy: using vlc ? [22:42] rww yeah i havent tested that theory either and i too dont feel like restart x to find out :) [22:42] Well im about to have to restart X [22:42] so how do I test this? :P [22:42] DasEi: Ubuntu doesnt recognise the DVD at all [22:42] Or can you not do it on already running programs? [22:42] Ctrl+Alt+backspace malcom2073 [22:43] ActionParsnip: although the USB guides didn't specifically address my issue, they helped me figure out what to do to fix my problem. I am now creating a new USB installation. Thanks very much for your help [22:43] k, if I get booted, we all know why :P [22:43] is there a recovery disc that will check if you are missing any basic packages in your ubuntu 8.10 setup [22:43] brb [22:43] malcom2073: you could do 'screen htop' or something and restart x, [22:43] eternaljoy: after mounting cd rom and cd there, no files by ls-cmd ? [22:43] eseven73: htop is command line, so it should get saved. [22:43] DasEi: how I mount it? [22:43] scotlfs: glad you reached the right path. np man :D [22:43] k I got another app running [22:43] here goes [22:43] i know [22:44] eternaljoy: open a terminal [22:44] who me [22:44] kinda offtopic but someone earlier asked about networking monitoring, i found a cool app for that called iptraf, its in the repos too :) [22:44] !info iptraf [22:44] this is the right place to ask for help on how to do things in Ubuntu?? [22:44] iptraf (source: iptraf): Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0-6 (intrepid), package size 161 kB, installed size 744 kB [22:44] King_Of_Worms: yes [22:44] how do i get rid of alt+left drag feature? [22:44] King_Of_Worms: yep [22:44] cool [22:45] Nope, it closed the screen app I opened [22:45] Nick_Meister: i think its an x thing. not sure, its dead handy [22:45] malcom2073: type 'screen -ls' [22:45] malcom2073: issue "screen -r" in a terminal [22:45] I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to bind a folder to another location on boot [22:45] ActionParsnip, i need to either get rid of it or change it to something else [22:45] is there a repair disk for ubuntu 8.10? [22:45] i tried the suggestion i found on the forums, but it didn't work :( [22:45] Don: have you tried making a usb startup disk? [22:46] eternaljoy: sudo mkdir /mnt/cd [22:46] malcom2073: do what rww said, he's got easier ways of doing things, i do things the hard way [22:46] King_Of_Worms: you can use a symlink, it appears as a folder but will magically transport you to the other folder you link to if you click it [22:46] only access i have is thru the terminal [22:46] eternaljoy: only one cd drive ? [22:46] King_Of_Worms: is taht what you mean? [22:46] rww: oh very cool [22:46] malcom2073: is it running? [22:46] i guess i must have removed files that let me get the usb interface and keybd working under the windows like interface [22:46] eseven73: negative, I havent restarted X yet again lol [22:46] Nick_Meister: not sure dude [22:46] ActionParsnip, i think so, how do I create a symlink? [22:46] ah [22:47] only had the linux for 2 weeks, new at it [22:47] And this whole mess didn't fix my problem :(. For instance: The visualization in rhythm-box it flickers all the time, especially when it's behind another window it flickers in front, and when I drag the window with extra effects on, the visualization stays in place and keeps flickering [22:47] Don: do you have any important data residing on your ubuntu install? [22:47] mount --bind is the command I use to do it manually, but i want it to happen automatically at boot time [22:47] King_Of_Worms: ln -s /path/to/folder/to/be/linked /location/of/link/linkname [22:47] screen -r says "no screen to resume" [22:47] eternaljoy: ? [22:48] King_Of_Worms: obviosly change the names of the folders etc [22:48] hello evryone, i got a problem with my synaptic, it wont let access it. here is the info http://paste.ubuntu.com/83184/ thanks for help [22:48] Oh this screen command looks very cool. Looks like I should ssh -x into this box remotely and bring desktop windows over? [22:48] DasEi: yes only 1 DVD [22:48] DasEi: I type sudo mkdir /mnt/cd ? [22:48] screen rocks [22:48] I'm really tired at this. I can't get my wireless card to work. Should I have to reconfigure my modem and router? The network is detected but I can't authenticate, I'm positive I'm giving the correct authentification-password. [22:48] eternaljoy: yes, then : umount /dev/scd0 [22:48] ok brtb [22:48] think_linux: open a terminal and issue "sudo apt-get update". If you get errors from that, put them in pastebin and link it here. If not, try Synaptic again. [22:49] eternaljoy: yes, then : sudo umount /dev/scd0 ,sorry [22:49] rafting: yu could try ndiswrapper + xp32 or xp64 driver [22:49] rww: ok 1 sec [22:49] DasEi: umount: /dev/scd0 is not mounted (according to mtab) [22:49] hi, how does the package manager deals with different compilation flags? I mean, for example, if I want to run 'directfb' compile with '--enable-sdl', or even if I want to have '--enable-debug', how can I procede? [22:49] sav1o: it doesn't. The package manager doesn't compile, it downloads binary packages. [22:49] DasEi: when I type sudo umount /dev/scd0 it says: umount: /dev/scd0: not mounted [22:49] eternaljoy: k, sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cd [22:49] hey guys [22:49] hi [22:49] sav1o: get the source package, edit debian/rules, rebuild the package [22:49] ActionParsnip, will I have to run that command after everytime I reboot, or is it permanent? === harry is now known as Guest38021 [22:50] my ubuntu I do not longer see the desktop and restart when I am starting as the dos mode of windows that do? [22:50] sav1o: if the packaged app doesnt use the flags you want you must recompile yourself [22:50] DasEi: mount: No medium found [22:50] King_Of_Worms: its permanent [22:50] does someone have troble running bin files in 8.04? [22:50] cool [22:50] Thanks :) [22:50] eternaljoy: drive empty ?? [22:50] ultra_violet: can you be more vague? [22:50] King_Of_Worms: if you are making a link outside your home folder you must use sudo [22:50] DasEi: yes shall I put something in it? :P [22:50] ultra_violet: is the .bin file an installer you downloaded from somewhere? [22:50] rww: here is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/83186/ [22:50] ultra_violet: try chmod a+x [22:50] jrib: you weren't so sarcastic once upon a time :) [22:51] eternaljoy: eerm, your cd/dvd maybe [22:51] ok, :) thanks again [22:51] ultra_violet: then run it with ./ [22:51] ActionParsnip: okay, no errors. Is Synaptic still broken, or is it now working? [22:51] Don: your best bet, if you can, is to reinstall and try again - if you have a thumbdrive, you can make a usb startup disk with the System->Administration menu in order to help bail you out of this type of situation - if you have any files yet to be backed up, you should be able to get them out of your ~/Desktop or wherever they are onto a thumbdrive [22:51] think_linux: : okay, no errors. Is Synaptic still broken, or is it now working? [22:51] help with ubuntu [22:51] ActionParsnip: sorry, nick confusion :) [22:51] private convo with someone please? [22:51] hey folks, a nvidia driver error caused my computer to freeze, causing me to have to reboot holding down the power button. on boot up, it displayed the word "Grub" and I couldnt go any farther [22:51] ActionParsnip: that's bad.

Give an example on pastebin [22:53] ultra_violet: you need to cd to the folder then use ./ [22:54] ultra_violet: the ./ is imortant [22:54] my problem started when ubuntu was running slow, so i thought i would get rid of some of those i did not need, but after that , i had no usb mouse or keyboard control once it rebooted, can only get into terminal mode - and since im new, dont know the commands etc to back up my system , besides , i need to reinstall the usb and keybd drivers to get into the windows like interface [22:54] DasEi: Playback failure: DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/scd0".

[23:37] eternaljoy, pardon? Are you asking about the inode-to-block-count ratio? [23:38] jesus_loves_you: because I use Acronis Trueimage and it can only backup inode 128 and doesnt support inode 256 [23:38] eternaljoy:check the drive first, why changing inode ?

[23:40] eternaljoy: anyways you shouldn't be messing with inodes really [23:40] eternaljoy, what "inode 256" means to me, with no other context, is an inode on your hard drive with inode number 256. I don't think that's what you want to communicate. [23:40] eternaljoy: you might look at "partimage" .. a free alternative to Ghost and doesn't care about the inode [23:40] eternaljoy, if you're referring to an ext3 tunable, there's probably a different name for it. [23:40] eternaljoy:it's to much hassle to me, I'd use dd or tar , maybe rsync for backups, but test your drive first.... [23:40] jesus_loves_you: its true and I asked Acronis whpo confirmed it. It can backup, but only sector by sector, because inode 256 isnt supported yet [23:41] eternaljoy: sorry this is foreign to me. ghost4unix will do a bit by bit copy of your disk. that's waht we use [23:41] doesn't matter what filesystme [23:41] or no filesystem at all [23:41] Hi all.

[23:41] http://i38.tinypic.com/qn6w4z.jpg<< eternaljoy, what's the tune2fs flag associated with this "inode 256" setting? [23:41] jesus_loves_you: I dont want a sector by sector or bit by bit, backing up 1 Terabyte HDD [23:42] :jesus_loves_you If you didn't see this here it is again my menu.lst http://rafb.net/p/aCUZR844.html [23:42] eternaljoy, Partition Image or clonezilla can handle with 256-byte Inodes [23:42] almark: I missed it hold on [23:42] eternaljoy, better yet, do the folks who make this backup product have a knowledge base article you can link us to? [23:42] nDuff: an inode is a data structure and 8.10 uses inode 256, but previous versions use inode 128 [23:42] exodus_ms: i have Acronis which I use and paid for/. [23:42] ok seems I need to instyall 8.04 [23:43] where can I get Ubuntu 8.04? [23:43] eternaljoy, I know *exactly* what an inode is, probably better than you do. Filesystems have room for as many inodes as they can store files, which is why "inode 256" or "inode 128" makes very little sense. [23:43] almark: ok that is pretty straightforward. now pastebin your ubuntu menu.lst [23:43] !download [23:43] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Intrepid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:43] nDuff: no need to be so condescending :( [23:43] eternaljoy, "256-bit inodes" makes sense. "inode 256" does not. [23:43] nDuff: cmon you can make that leap of faith [23:43] is ndiswrapper in the bootloader or it hs to be downloaded separately? [23:43] :jesus_loves_you lol man that is my problem I don't have one. [23:43] suffice to say... 8.04 backs up using Acronis,, 8.10 doesnt, because they use different inodes [23:43] eternaljoy, http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [23:44] anto9us: ty [23:44] if I install 8.04, do Ubuntu still release secutiry updates for 8.04?

[23:45] !hi [23:45] I will install 8.04 then, that way I can still make Acronis Trueimage backup images [23:45] nDuff: I boot the live CD and there's the list of things to do, Install ubuntu, test without installing etc [23:45] Ratchet--, right; you want to select "test without installing" [23:46] nDuff, eternaljoy, reference this: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.40.5 [23:46] eternaljoy, you can use 8.10 with free backup utilites that can handle 256 inodes [23:46] nDuff: k and after that then ? [23:46] nDuff, eternaljoy, Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the ext_attr feature flag by default. [23:46] jesus_loves_you, excellent; thanks. [23:46] jesus_loves_you: Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes , but I want 128 [23:46] salut [23:46] Does anyone have a default Ubuntu menu.lst if you do could you please post it I need it thanks. [23:46] eternaljoy: what you want is a better backup solution :) [23:46] seriously is ndiswrapper always necessary or I can sometimes get away without it? [23:46] eternaljoy, if you do the filesystem creation manually, you should be able to pass the appropriate flags to mke2fs [23:46] Ratchet--: if it's not under System>Admin>Partition manager then open a terminal and type .. sudo apt-get install gparted.. after install it will appear on the menu or you can start it with .. gparted [23:46] What is the comand to format a pen-drive? [23:47] jesus_loves_you: what I want is 8.10 using 128 inode :) [23:47] almark: mine is here: http://pastebin.com/f57a95839 [23:47] !wi > rafting [23:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about wi [23:47] !wifi rafting [23:47] :jesus_loves_you thanks :) [23:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about wifi rafting [23:47] can I download a correct driver for my card instead? [23:47] forget it :) [23:47] eternaljoy: it seesm like you could use reiserfs and it would still be 128 [23:47] eternaljoy, ...ie. -O '^ext_attr' to turn off ext_attr, and "-I 128" to use 128-byte inodes [23:47] i try to extract a file to / and it says i don't have the pirmission to? [23:48] sudo [23:48] Octoroks: extract it to your home folder [23:48] hi'i've changed something in the xorg.conf,in the section screen, defaultdepth. Now the graphic seems to work ok. Except that i don't now what i've done. And i really like to know ? [23:48] Octoroks: why would you want to extract to /? What are you doing? [23:48] eternaljoy: you should be able to use the previous 8.04 or 7.10 live cd, format your drive, make the partitions, then install 8.10 and tell it do not format [23:48] jesus_loves_you, seems like overkill; I don't know Ubuntu's partitioning UI during setup by heart, but Red Hat's had a field to type extra parameters for mke2fs for *ages*; I can't imagine something similar isn't available. [23:48] qcjn: man xorg.conf and [23:48] !x > qcjn [23:48] qcjn, please see my private message [23:49] My firefox window is giving me a lot of trouble. When I open it is is maximized full screen (an on top of the top and bottom panel) and missing the title bar containing the minimize, maximize and close buttons. All methods of resizing it (Alt + Shift, Alt + Click, F11, etc) that I've tried thus far have failed. Can anyone help me restore my FF back to normal? [23:49] jrib, why wouldn't i?

[23:50] htanks [23:50] What is the comand to format a pen-drive? [23:50] eternaljoy: so get a legit backup software. if you're paying for acronis they should step up [23:50] zimbres: gparted [23:51] #category5 , mark shuttleworth live on category5 technology tv (in 9 mins) if anyone's interested / www.category5.tv [23:51] zimbres, use gparted, select the device and create a partition of using the filesystem you want, FAT32 is usual for pendrives as Windows et al. can read that natively [23:51] guys im trying to get my 64meg tnt ultra pro working on my TV, im using the nvidia legacy drivers, but whenever i try use the card on my tv, once it boots into login screen the screen is morphed and theres no mouse, and max is 60hertz.. any help?

[23:55] it just got real quit in here [23:55] albert_fish, as I recall, that can happen if it's not the first drive you're installing to, you have to explicitly tell it which drive to use and it's easy to miss that little prompt [23:55] anto9us, I do not know the name of the device. Where do I find it. === nirc is now known as cordor [23:56] << zimbres, in gparted there's a dropdown box that lists the devices, it's probably the smallest one in that list.
