[00:00] Paw: it's version 8.10 [00:00] fosco_: ok, so there is no difference between the driver in the repos and the driver provided by nvidia? [00:00] I wonder when they are going to fix the problem with nvidia display drivers and 3d desktop. In this config the buttons in the title bar wont redraw correctly at times. [00:00] Paw, Ibex is the latest version of Ubuntu [00:00] but it's not long term support [00:00] mrwes: version 8.10 is ibex?

[00:01] for some reason, on my dual monitor laptop setup, Ubuntu always treats the laptop monitor as the secondary monitor (it puts the GDM screen on the other one, the panels start there, etc.) [00:01] how do I change this? [00:01] Im a sophmore in college, CS major.. just started my programming classes... trying to get ahead by forcing my self :) [00:02] It is a multimedia Ubuntu [00:02] anyone ever install Ubuntu Ultimate?

[00:03] nunocruz, gnomebaker, k3b, are both good burning programs [00:03] :ubottu do you support Ubuntu Studio? [00:03] should be the real flash [00:03] to install flash cleanly just run from a terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:03] Wicked, dont [00:03] !pm psudo [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about pm psudo [00:04] Wicked, that installs a lot of other cruft to [00:04] !psudo pm [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about psudo pm [00:04] !wtf do you know ubottu :P [00:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:04] Is is possible to upgrade Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio, the Studio live cd gave me problems installing. The cd is Ubuntu 8.10 also. Do you want more info from me? [00:04] nunocruz, there are several programs....dvd::rip, acidrip, avidemux, etc [00:04] Paddy_EIRE It installs a lot of stuff he really should have anyhow.. [00:04] anyone using vpnc? [00:04] i already have the restricted stuff installed [00:04] SergeantPony: yep [00:04] Jack_Sparrow, yeah I prefer to let people install as they go [00:04] !studio [00:04] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [00:04] anyone know a good site for guides on how to start a forum? [00:05] thanks [00:05] almark: yeah, just, after installing ubuntu (regular ubuntu), just add the ubuntu studio repos, and apt-get install ubuntu-studio [00:05] nbeebo, phpbb [00:05] jbernard: can you help me`with the conf file? [00:05] nbeebo: you can try out drupal for a full fledged content management system with forum capabilities [00:05] Jack_Sparrow, ubuntu-restricted-extras does not really convey a lot of information about what you are installing and what it may be used for [00:05] :rdw200169 hmm its that easy huh thanks [00:05] Jack_Sparrow, I feel people learn better this way [00:05] almark: the same thing goes for kubuntu, xubuntu, etc... [00:05] SergeantPony: i can try, i use the network-manager interface, so i never have to modify the config file === peoples is now known as crash [00:06] psudo, in theory yes, you could host your own domain you purchase from any regsitrar === crash is now known as cash [00:06] halitech no thank you i dont like it.,..

Seems odd for Ubuntu, but I took him at his word [00:08] Paw, bwahahah...nice [00:08] alright restarting! lets se how ubuntu is! [00:08] Wicked, If you open "System > Administration > Software Sources" and look in the "Third-Party Software" and see if the "Partner Repository" is ticked/enabled. [00:08] almark: ah, it seems that the ubuntu studio stuff is in the normal repos. === mt is now known as peoples [00:09] SergeantPony: you'll need your username, group name, passwork and group password [00:09] RobertGonzalez, I would certainly try, something doesn';t sound right or he wanted th gui cause he doesn't want to do things on the command line [00:09] rdw200169 Did they add it for ibex..? Good to know thanks [00:09] Paddy_EIRE, no its not [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: almark, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy [00:09] Thank you all who helped me, I am now at the desktop of ubuntu!!!! [00:09] :rdw200196 I'm still new what are repos [00:09] Halitech: he already left but yea i told him the same thing, some people just don't like to deal with the Cli [00:09] !yay | Paw [00:09] Paw: Glad you made it! :-) [00:10] Now what to do.. [00:10] thanks guys [00:10] Jack_Sparrow, Ubuntu_Studio is now an official add-on in the same fashion as edubuntu [00:10] hi. [00:10] Jack_Sparrow: almarkthe rules should be the same for ibex, as far as what applications you're installing [00:10] umm now that i have it installed and semi working what do i do ahah [00:10] Paw: you can do whatever you do normally [00:10] mikhailt, I was nervous of it at first but now I find it easier in alot of cases [00:10] mik: thats boring lol [00:10] Paddy_EIRE, do i want these enabled? or should i leave them disabled? [00:10] Paddy_EIRE: thanks for clearing that up === keres_ is now known as keres`away [00:10] Wicked, yes [00:10] rdw200169, : [00:10] :) [00:10] if I am setting up ntp server on a machine, do I need to run ntpdate localhost once in a while, or does ntpd keep system time in sync with the local ntpd ? [00:11] Yo, yo. [00:11] Oh wow.. 161 updates.. [00:11] Halitech: the scripting and the pipling FTW [00:11] What's going on people, anyone free to answer a question I have? [00:11] mik: you rock! [00:11] is there any plan for cutting 8.10.1 to include all the updates since the release? [00:11] !ask | NickyMC [00:11] NickyMC: 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. :-) [00:11] mikhailt, exactly, plus getting info from files quickly with cat === peoples is now known as whack [00:11] not linux related but i bought a new computer and it won't post. the mobo green light is on i hear the harddrives spin up but nothing on the screen [00:12] i tried an old pci video card but same thing. the keyboard caps lock light lights up for a second on start up but then go very dim [00:12] myth, video card not seated properly, ram not seated properly [00:12] myth: refer to the manual. [00:12] how to show the ppt files in xububntu? [00:12] and cycling caps lock does nothing [00:12] Paw: yea there'll be updates everywhere, millions of packages in ubuntu, so many things you can do with it [00:12] Wicked, ok open a terminal "Applications > Accessories > Terminal" and type "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" without the quotes of course.. or just copy paste and answer Yes to any questions [00:12] probably the CPU is not seated properly [00:12] :rdw200169 i did see that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy site so I can use that to upgrade intrepid ? [00:12] almark: yes [00:12] Ok, I am back. :) Found out the real issue. [00:13] i tried a different video card, and now i've taken out the ram entirely [00:13] RobertGonzalez, oh? [00:13] Halitech: cat and GREP [00:13] :rdw200169 thank you. [00:13] almark: that, or you can seek out those packages in synaptic [00:13] Wicked, Got that? [00:13] booting a computer with no ram should still be able to get to the bios no? [00:13] RobertGonzalez: do tell us [00:13] myth, no [00:13] Paddy_EIRE, ok doing now. thanks =) [00:13] cool [00:13] What happened to me? [00:13] who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? [00:13] mikhailt, don't use grep much [00:13] almark: just make sure you get linux-rt, that's the realtime kernel [00:13] The issue is that the GUI was installed as part of the installation and our admin, the one with the Unix/RH background, is used to going into /etc/initab and telling the gui to not start up on boot. [00:13] Paw, you flooded the channel [00:13] You know the boot screen, standard one is just ubuntu logo with a loading bar, well is there anyway to make one of those that isn't a picture+loading bar but one where a picture of white foot steps appear and if possible fade, but move a long the screen diagonally . [00:13] who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? [00:13] who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? [00:13] !paste | Paw [00:13] Paddy: how lol :-p [00:14] Paw: 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) [00:14] who knows how to show ppt files in xububntu? which software is the lightweight one? [00:14] hmm, i'm pretty sure i've booted a computer with no ram, and you get that no memory error from the bios [00:14] :rdw200169 will I need to recompile the kernel, kernel compiling is fun Do it all the time in Gentoo [00:14] myth, depends on the board maybe, I've never had it work [00:14] just trying to determine if it's the ram or cpu [00:14] So he went into preferences and attempted to disable the GDM (which I am totally forgetting what that means right now) and it is telling him that disabling the GDM could result in data loss and system performance issues. [00:14] myth: not all motherboards support that, but pretty much standard that it just beeps when you power it on but it doesnt boot at all [00:14] anyone know how to id go about creating 2 different accounts, the first has compiz enabled with my profile loaded, and the other account has metacity no compiz and dual monitor support (so different xorg.conf per user) ??? [00:14] almark: no, that's what linux-rt does for you, it get's the realtime timing working right so JACK doesn't spew errors [00:14] Paw, perhaps I am mistaken :P [00:14] :rdw200169 I have read on UB studio site they don't have the real time kernel yet, I Don't know what that means thought [00:14] Paw, what where you trying to do? [00:14] :rdw200169 I have read on UB studio site they don't have the real time kernel yet, I Don't know what that means though [00:14] i wonder why the caps look goes dim green [00:14] RobertGonzalez: GDM is the Geome Desktop Manager i believe [00:15] The ideal situation for him is to be able to login to the machine over KVM and land on a prompt then launch the GUI from there if need be [00:15] like it's half on... [00:15] mikhailt: Thanks. Sounds about right for what he is doing. [00:15] RobertGonzalez: do not dissable GDM, or you will get no graphic desktop [00:15] myth, really? [00:15] almark: well, i don't know then, now you know more than me ;) [00:15] yes [00:15] myth Power supply? [00:15] :rdw200169 I can't get jack to work right in Gentoo, so I thought I could try Ubuntu . [00:15] nnull: weren't you the one who asked that xorg.conf per user question before :P [00:15] Very General Question, how do i learn how to costumize and make ubuntu the best thing ever? [00:15] when i first turn it on the caps lock light comes on fully then goes dim green [00:15] You know the boot screen, standard one is just ubuntu logo with a loading bar, well is there anyway to make one of those that isn't a picture+loading bar but one where a picture of white foot steps appear and if possible fade, but move a long the screen diagonally . [00:15] xat_¬ probably why [00:15] RobertGonzalez: an alternative can be xdm and kdm [00:15] and pressing caps lock doesn't after the light [00:15] hi guys! does firefox3 have a bug in clearing history? [00:15] So how does one setup the install so that when you login you land on a prompt but can still launch the GUI when and if you want it? [00:15] Paddy_EIRE, well it usally takes a day or two of ff being open for it to mess up.....i hope this fixes this. thanks again [00:16] brand new power supply [00:16] xat_¬ #xorg isnt exactly a free flowing channel :P [00:16] :rdw200169 Just basic kernel stuff is my game don't get me wrong I'm no guru ;) [00:16] well everything is brand new [00:16] hmm [00:16] I thought you asked it here [00:16] almark: jackd is always a pain, but it works, and it works well, so we deal with it ;) === whack is now known as peoples [00:16] myth, on a laptop or standard keyboard... and as Jack_Sparrow said the power supply or perhaps keyboard cable has a malfunction [00:16] RobertGonzalez: that's by changing the runlevel i guess [00:16] xat_¬ i always ask questions in a variety of places [00:16] myth, heatsink and fan both installed properly and the fan plugged into power? [00:16] RobertGonzalez: ummmm. i am pretty sure there is a better way to do that, unfortunately, i am curious as well, i just dont sue gui at all, im sure somebody else here will be able to tell you [00:16] Hi I cant visit this site.. why? Is it dns error? >> http://sylva.pravdavitezi.eu/?id=14371 [00:16] Pythonz: yes there is [00:17] Actually, perhaps a better question is are there any installation flags that can be applied during install that would tell Ubuntu to not load certain pieces of the interface at boot/login time? [00:17] myth: check that the motherboard does not touch your chassie on the bottom incase there is metal [00:17] myth, and "BRAND NEW" is not infallibly perfect [00:17] myth You dont have the keyboard plugged into the mouse port do you [00:17] MaT-dg: is there anyway to fix it? [00:17] someone actually gave me the idea how to do it one night but ive forgotten lol [00:17] no i made sure it's plugged into the keyboard port [00:17] RobertGonzalez: yes, modifying the runlevel [00:17] mikhailt: Thanks for taking an interest. I do appreciate the help you have offered thus far. [00:17] :rdw200169 about 2 years ago I tried to install Ardour and jack gave me loads of trouble, never could get it to work. [00:17] and ya brand new could equal doa [00:17] myth, are there any kinks in the cable? [00:17] what's the best place to go to get help with a graphics driver on ubuntu? [00:17] radecek, Sylvia looks nice to me :D [00:17] mikhailt: badawi: Any idea what to do with the runlevel? [00:18] MrWizeGuy1983¬ here, or #xorg [00:18] mikhailt: RobertGonzalez : but runlevels in ubuntu is kinda different from the rest, for example there's no /etc/inittab file [00:18] Pythonz: Not that I know off, we jsut have to wait for the devs to fix it... [00:18] say a heatsync wasn't installed properly, wouldn't it still boot but the cpu would get hot really quick? [00:18] #xorg [00:18] oops lol [00:18] !runlevel [00:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [00:18] can i have eth0 and eth0:1 both setup with dhcp?

[00:18] myth yea.. it would do that ONCE then burn up [00:18] nnull: yeah. I see you're in my logs; did writing a script to do it not work out for you? [00:18] i've problems updating OO packages, everytime i upgrade it requires the "partial upgrade" option and then this fails, any suggestion? [00:18] myth, depends on the board, some might some might not [00:18] badawi: Exactly, which is why this challenge came up, because that is the first place he looked to get it the way he wanted (because it is like that on RH systems) [00:18] myth, Or perhaps your eye-balls are malfunctioning :D [00:18] :P [00:18] Halitech: if you want i more picture send a link with 14371 id a send you link on her picture :) [00:18] !upstart [00:18] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[00:27] systm: what did you do [00:27] I thought perhaps it lacked the permissions to modify its own installs so I put the list of installed files from synaptic into a file called "files" and did a sudo chown . `cat files` to change them all to my user it still failed to complete the update it seams [00:27] Hey all, got a wifi prob. Basically I've a CNWL - 311 card, and its only being recognised in ubuntu as 1mb. I found a way to change Belkin's details, but not this one, any ideas? [00:27] Anyone have any ideas how to help? [00:28] CaMason_, you can set a umask value - but that affects all files created, not just those in a specific folder [00:28] mikhailt: i installed libdvdcss but now idk if its gonna load the rest it still didnt work in VLS [00:28] VLC* [00:28] Paddy_EIRE, Actually, this particular 8.10 install has succeeded on both machines I have got round to updating yet with working flash so so far so good. [00:28] Pythonz, no problem, good luck with it [00:28] MttJocy, nice one :) [00:28] systm: so it sound like encrpytion issue [00:29] Paddy_EIRE, Don't suppose you have any ideas re my actual problem though? [00:29] robelliott2125 is this what you used on the belkin. Speed issue: "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s) [00:29] mikhailt: it seems that way [00:29] CaMason_, for files that already exist - you can use chmod again [00:29] MttJocy, let me look over it [00:29] Paddy_EIRE, Did you not see it? [00:30] MttJocy: overwrite /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar with the downloaded file, that should work [00:30] Hi Everyone. I'm trying to install Wordpress on Ubuntu Desktop. Whenever I try and access localhost/wordpress, I'm getting the error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/83771/) [00:30] MttJocy: i haven't tried it myself btw [00:30] unop: ok, thanks. I'll just hack this script [00:30] systm: google how to play encrypted dvd in ubuntu, first page should show you how to do it [00:30] MttJocy, have you done the obvious "sudo apt-get install -f" ? [00:30] i am running ubuntu 8.04 lts, and I have flash non free installed, but my youtube videos play but are jerky is there a fix? [00:30] Yes Jack_Sparrow, it was working, but under this card it doesn't. Obviously different manufacturers different strings, but just want better than 1mb [00:30] MttJocy, had to ask [00:30] badawi, The file it downloaded with the update in is called Azureus4.0.0.4.jar though [00:30] Hi, would that be an issue if I totally uninstall pulseAudio -- ubuntu 8.10 / Gnome ? [00:31] Kevin__, did you install php? [00:31] Where do I find the documentation for how/when /etc/pm/*.d/* are called? [00:31] guys, does anybody know if there's a workaround for this bug: Bug #270259 in acpid (Ubuntu Hardy): “Leaks file descriptors and ... [00:31] And is this the right place to be looking for restoring hdparm settings on resume? [00:31] MttJocy: should be ok to rename i guess, backup the original one just in case, i.e. rename to Azureus2.jar.bak [00:31] ? [00:31] are there any Linux tools to detect/fix a fake USB pendrive? All the utilities that I've seen are Windows and wine doesn't work ..... Yes, looks like I got suckered into buying a fake USB pendrive on eBay ... I thought with a thousand good user comments that the seller wasn't a scammer. [00:31] Paddy_EIRE, Huh, It installed fine, this is azreus which is trying to update itself (the synaptic install was okay) just azureus keeps restarting to install the updated version yet failing to do the updating [00:32] Halitech, I can access PHPInfo.php from Firefox and it appears to be running. I have version 5.2.5 [00:32] MttJocy, I personally dont like azureus/zune.. not that that helps you any :) [00:32] Paddy_EIRE: i can never spell the damn thing right [00:32] Paddy_EIRE, I prefered it before the zune thing, but I just stick to using only the "advanced" bit which is like classic azureus [00:32] :roadfish what usb drive do you have if its a sandisk, I might be able to help. [00:32] roadfish HAve you looked at it with fdisk or gparted? [00:32] roadfish--> what does it mean by fake usb pendrive? [00:33] http://reviews.ebay.com/HOW-TO-TEST-FOR-FAKE-USB-DRIVE_W0QQugidZ10000000003664934 [00:33] brb then I will give your suggestion a tru badawi [00:33] Kevin__: you need to modify the wp-config.php file beofre you can install it [00:33] read all about it [00:33] Kevin__, ok, actualy it looks like its trying to find files in /etc/wordpress [00:33] i am running ubuntu 8.04 lts, and I have flash non free installed, but my youtube videos play but are jerky is there a fix? [00:33] mikhailt: Do I need to create a database in PHPMyAdmin? [00:33] MttJocy, that is because synaptic handles updates and the version of azureus that you are trying to update to a version which is not in the ubuntu repositories [00:33] Jack_Sparrow: I used fdisk. But this is a _fake_ USB pendrive ... what it is reporting is a lie (probably). [00:34] can i have eth0 and eth0:1 both setup with dhcp? [00:34] MttJocy, there might be a ppa with the latest azureus/zune but it would be a use at your own risk scenario [00:34] i get an error when i try to bring the interface up [00:34] cappiz: no, that doesn't make sense [00:34] address 192.168.2.200 [00:34] netmask 255.255.255.0 [00:34] gateway 192.168.2.1 [00:34] ops [00:34] cappiz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:34] Kevin__: yes, you need to create the db, db user and password, once you do that, you go to wp-config-sample.php file and enter the db name, db user, password and save it as wp-config.php [00:34] roadfish What did fdisk show and what make and model is it supposed to be [00:34] almark: no, not a sandisk. Is a no-name USB pendrive. ... so is 80% likely this is a fake. [00:34] hey all. just installed maple on a 8.10 32bit install. i can't find the command to start it so i can make a shortcut. any ideas? [00:34] cappiz: dhcp is a broadcast protocol, and on any one subnet, there can only be ONE dhcp server [00:34] araceli, what video card and how much ram? [00:34] hello, my network card does not work. i get 'No such device', although on other OSes it works can someone help ? [00:34] rdw200169, its not a dhcpserver [00:34] cappiz: what i mean to say, is on any one lan segment [00:34] im rying ot setup to clients [00:35] trying* [00:35] Paddy_EIRE, Azureus insists on restarting to install it's updates by default if you use the old version that is in the repositories though [00:35] :roadfish I don't know sorry, I'll be listening to see what you say. [00:35] cappiz: i know, but what you're referring to is taking dhcp addresses on the *same* interface [00:35] I have an intel integrated graphics card and I believe it has 128 mb of ram. [00:35] :roadfish Did you try it in windows? [00:35] is there a good reason to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10?? [00:35] roadfish--> using dd , you can write in blocks of 512 or even smaller [00:35] cappiz: hence the eth0:1 alias [00:35] I know you guys must be sick to death of GRUB questions, but I don't know what to google to solve this. I've got XP on the drive inside the computer (hd0,0) and Ubuntu on a USB drive (hd1,0). GRUB boots from the USB drive, and the Ubuntu items boot, but the XP item, when I hit enter, it seems to restart GRUB (it flashes GRUB stage 2 for a sec, then shows me the 'select OS' menu again). I'd welcome any ideas as to why this is happening. Also [00:35] , the 'root' for the XP item in menu.lst is set to (hd0,0). [00:35] its like intel 910 integrated graphics chip [00:35] can one be static then? rdw200169 [00:35] Paddy_EIRE, Perhaps it's update feature should be turned off in the default config provided by synaptic then, although it is not. [00:35] MttJocy, you cant disable update checking in azureus's settings? [00:35] how do i stop ubuntu (pulse) from locking my audio to one app only? [00:36] araceli, are the proper drivers installed for it? === _Lurq is now known as Lurq [00:36] MttJocy: did it work? [00:36] yea, everything is working properly. [00:36] my system is running well on 8.04, not sure if I should upgrade to 8.10 [00:36] cappiz: but, let me make this *clear*, dhcp will not work when competing with another server on a lan subnet, it just causes dhcp collisions (i can't think of a better term) === peoples is now known as lost [00:36] MttJocy, that would have been among one of the first things I would check [00:36] :P [00:36] cappiz: but yes, one can be static [00:36] araceli, do you have compiz enabled? [00:36] yes I do have compiz enabled. [00:36] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address is the error i get then [00:37] cappiz: just save yourself the heartache, and *don't* have two dhcp servers on one LAN segment, please! [00:37] mcpancakes--> without the usb pendrive, can you not boot directly to the hd where xp resides? [00:37] Jack_Sparrow: how do I get fdisk to report make and model? [00:37] roadfish: what about taking the simple cmd script for windows given in the link you provided and converting it to bash? Then you can detect at least... [00:37] araceli, try disabling it, it might just be taking too many resources [00:37] the standard for 8.04. [00:37] ok I can do that. [00:37] cappiz: why in the world would you want two dhcp on the same lan segment? [00:37] roadfish Fdisk wont, just thought you would look at the drive itself [00:37] dhcp servers? [00:38] oh no server connection to universe failed during a ubuntu studio upgrade What can I do? [00:38] i have ONE server a linksys router [00:38] cappiz: save yourself some trouble also, and just use the iproute2 commands, i.e. 'ip addr' [00:38] i want to "interfaces" on the ubuntu computer [00:38] whyameye: these are GUI programs and the USB selector doesn't let me pick the USB drive. [00:38] badawi, NO [00:38] guys, my acpid leaks file descriptors. [00:38] I'm on 8.04 [00:38] badawi, No even, sorry [00:38] connection timed out [00:38] nnull: still there? [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: no, the item is a no-name drive. [00:38] actually 8.04.01 [00:38] rdw200169: he isnt setting up two dhcp server, he is trying to set up two dhcp client on same interface [00:38] Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? [00:38] would I need to restart my browser or anything [00:38] no, i need the interface for firewalling - gonna use it for wmware [00:38] Paddy_EIRE, Can find an option to disable looking for plugin updates, not for the app itself unless I am not looking in the right part of options [00:38] araceli, probably be a good idea [00:38] roadfish: ??? I don't understand. You want to test if it is a fake drive? Why not a bash script to do this? [00:38] roadfish Since this isnt a ubuntu question perhaps you should go to #hardware ? [00:39] cappiz: installing vmware should set up its own network itnerfaces which you can bridge the same eth0 interface [00:39] mikhailt: i know... but i don't know his infrastructure, whether or not he controls the whole network, for example... === lost is now known as whack [00:39] xat_¬ yea sorry dude back now [00:39] MttJocy: did you rename Azureus4.0... into Azureus2.jar? [00:39] Paddy_EIRE, Besides, why exactly are the repositories allowing the install of an app in a way set up to constantly nag anyone who installs it to restart the app? [00:39] cappiz: agreed [00:39] badawi, Correct [00:39] nnull, i'm on my friend's pc now, his name is irvin (thus the different nick) and i'm ready to do the pastebin thing [00:39] whyameye: is there a bash script will do this? I copied directories of 5GB to 10GB and they always get corrupted. I also tried this in WinXP and got file corruption again. [00:39] cappiz: they should be something like, vmnet0 or something [00:39] yup that was it [00:40] MttJocy: oh well ... [00:40] thank you [00:40] MttJocy, that is azureus developers problem [00:40] MttJocy Can we see your sources.list [00:40] hum [00:40] It's ./binary to run a binary, right? [00:40] araceli, welcome [00:40] roadfish: did you try the cmd script in windows that was provided in the link you sent? [00:40] have a good day/night. :) [00:40] nnull: check your pm [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: I wasn't sure who would know. I am also asking in #hardware now. [00:40] how does one purge a subprocess from aptitude [00:40] cs_student: sometimes, then again, make sure it has the +x flag set before you try that, or it won't work [00:41] MttJocy: maybe you'll need to edit this file and fix the params -> /usr/bin/azureus [00:41] cs_student: i.e. chmod +x binary [00:41] roadfish Sorry but that line of questions is OT for this room [00:41] hi folks, i'm trying to connect to my school's server via ssh / sftp through gvfs (i.e. Places -> Connect to Server) but it times out when given the correct login information, however, if i connect through sftp or ssh on the command prompt, it works fine... the server is a sun sparc running solaris, any ideas? === whack is now known as cash [00:41] cs_student: some binaries, on the other hand, only work when you do "bash binary" [00:41] !nickspam > cash [00:41] cash, please see my private message [00:42] Spoom, you put the starting directory when using the GUI? [00:42] MttJocy: cause if you look at the package, that's it, it's the shell script and the jar file, the rest is text and images [00:42] Jack_Sparrow, Why? [00:42] mrwes, i've tried with both an absolute starting directory and without, same issue [00:42] MttJocy: dpkg -L azureus [00:42] MttJocy Can we see your sources.list .................to try and see why you have a problem.. also from a term.. please tell us exactly what lsb_release -a tells you [00:42] How much better is ardour's latency then say windows (daw ) latency? [00:43] mikhailt: so check this, my gf's Laptop, Wont play in ubuntu, windows with ridiculous amounts of square artifacts, my desktop, no go, but the xbox 360... perfectly fine === cash is now known as hope [00:43] Spoom, but it connects when you try from the command line? [00:43] mikhailt and Halitech: I updated wp-config and am now getting "Error establishing database connection" [00:43] MttJocy And please use the pastebin and dont paste into the channel [00:43] badawi, Well, perhaps the .jar it downloads is intended to be run by the main azureus app to fix the /usr/bin file also, thus why it does not work copying it over the main binary [00:43] Kevin__, did you create the database first? [00:43] mrwes, that's correct [00:43] hrmm.. [00:43] Kevin__: did you create teh db first? [00:43] Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? [00:43] ssh jarsene@server.f.q.d.n works fine, gvfs does not for some reason, it eventually gives a timeout error [00:44] Kevin__: try bringing up the cli, type mysql -u root -p === hope is now known as nitridr [00:44] ?halitech and mikhailt: Yes, I created a database. The DB is the same name as my username... is that ok? [00:44] Spoom, that is weird..... [00:44] indeed [00:44] MttJocy: close azurlala and try this java -jar Azur...4.0.jar, as i said i can never spell it, good thing they changed the name :) [00:44] Jack_Sparrow, The point is that the synaptic install worked fine, until the app was run then it saw an updated version on the azureus site and tried to self update (not through synaptic) because it is configured to do that in the package from synaptic [00:44] Spoom, in the GUI you are choosing SSH, correct? [00:44] Kevin__, should be [00:44] mrwes, indeed i am [00:44] How come I cant' see ppl talking in UbuntuStudio ? [00:44] Kevin__: is the wordpress going to be public or internal for yourself only? [00:44] is there any way i could, say, get debug output as to what's causing this? [00:45] i just get an error message stating "Timed out when logging in" [00:45] MttJocy The whole point is.. that you manually changed and added repos... and now have a problem [00:45] Kevin__, what did you use for the server address? [00:45] hey all, how do I see a list of chat rooms, I thought it was /list ut that freezes my app [00:45] MttJocy also from a term.. please tell us exactly what lsb_release -a tells you [00:45] hailtech: I'm working on getting the cli up, one second. mikhailt: Internal for now.. I'd eventually like to go external, though. [00:45] how can i bridge eth1 with eth0 then? [00:45] cappiz firestarter [00:45] Now that I have ubuntu installed and working I dont know what to do with my self lol. [00:46] Jack_Sparrow, Interpid 8.10, I could have told you that though [00:46] Paw, break it so you can fix it ~L~ [00:46] cappiz: bridge-utils also [00:46] badawi, thats more liek it [00:46] whyameye: is there a bash script that will test a USB pendrive. (and prehaps you would allow /msg so that we don't discuss on #ubuntu) [00:46] i allready have a vuurmuur installed [00:46] <_Zeus_> hey, I need some help. How can I tell if my system screensaver is on or not? [00:46] hali: I dont wanna do that yet :-p, There will be plenty of that [00:46] halitech: I tried to bring up the cli and am getting "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [00:46] cappiz: there's and example in qemu and vbox docs [00:47] Paw, if you are anything like me then yes there will ~L~ [00:47] !virtualization [00:47] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [00:47] Kevin__: you sure you type the right password? [00:47] _Zeus_, System -> Preferences -> Screensaver [00:47] <_Zeus_> Spoom: no, i want to do it in a script [00:47] Hali: Also have to get it to support my ATI video card :/ its glitchy [00:47] ah, my apologies, that was not stated [00:47] <_Zeus_> my fault [00:47] _Zeus_: I'd assume that a gconf key would be set, I'd look into that. [00:48] Paw: focus on the getting the ATI fixed, you dont want to spend alll the time customizing your desktop only to get it screwed up in the end [00:48] I'll just click restart later when I load it for now, Until I have time to install the proper azureus download from their website, I am sure I have had major issues with the azureus in the repository before when I tried it with an earlier version (7.10 If I remember correctly) [00:48] Paw, good luck, ATI is good but meh in linux [00:48] mikhailt: Sorry, got it. :) [00:48] Has anybody used CloneZilla LiveCD to create an image on a computer??? [00:48] <_Zeus_> ty, pici [00:48] Mik: difficult to fix the ati problem? it saids it activated the driver but still may cause problems :/ [00:48] Kevin__: now did you check the wp-config.php to make sure it is the right password [00:48] !ot > Roasted [00:48] Roasted, please see my private message [00:48] MttJocy: give me a sec, my download is about to finish, i'll try it for you. usually i just ignore the update [00:48] Except if I remember right the 7.10 version in synaptic simply crashed without displaying anything but the download from azereus website worked fine [00:49] Paw: graphic cards are some of the most complicatd thing to get fixed in all linux OS, you just have to read the ubuntu forums and see if anybody got it fixed for your ubuntu version [00:49] mik: thanks a bunch... that will be a long search, not only for ati card but for version 8.10 :( [00:49] I'm sorry. Why am I talking to a bot? [00:50] Is ubuntu server reliable to network administration? [00:50] has anyone else had issues connecting to a solaris server through gvfs? [00:50] hugleo, better then windows [00:50] Roasted Because clonzilla Livecd is not a ubuntu support question [00:50] http://pastebin.ws/5qhle0 [00:51] need help with sony vaio intel driver on ubuntu [00:51] but uh... I'm asking for help from people in here... since, ya know, this is a chat room for such questions. [00:51] Spoom, what's in the file ~/.ssh ? [00:51] Roasted Ubuntu Support questions only [00:51] I forgot exactly what ATI Radeon I have can someone tell me how to find out? [00:51] Roasted, this is a channel for ubuntu, not windows, and certainly not for general software [00:51] try #windows [00:51] Paw: lspci | grep -i vga [00:51] I'm not asking for help with windows. [00:51] Paw, lshw -C video [00:51] Halitech, hmm [00:51] where do i type that in my friends :-p [00:51] I'm asking for help with clonezilla server, which is based on ubuntu as a server... so uh, thanks anyway. [00:51] mrwes, tis blank [00:51] Paw, in a terminal [00:52] Roasted You were not asking for help with ubuntu [00:52] nonexistent, rather [00:52] Thanks a ton [00:52] er [00:52] I need help with clonezilla server that's based on ubuntu.... [00:52] paw: in cli [00:52] Halitech, Do know the bests linux for that? [00:52] !mint > roast [00:52] now, anyway, anybody here use clonezilla? I have a realsimple question if anybody here has created an image before with it. [00:52] mrwes, do you mean on the remote server? [00:52] !mint > Roasted [00:52] Roasted, please see my private message [00:52] Paw, fosco's will work as well [00:52] badawi, Well, did you have any more luck than I did? [00:52] mihailt: Yep, I just checked the credentials and still have the error [00:52] hugleo, depends on who you talk to and what your needs are [00:53] I hit something and now my screen is black :/ [00:53] hey thanks for the boot [00:53] Kevin__: did you create the db? [00:53] Halitech, monitoring others networks [00:53] Paw try alt F7 ? [00:53] hugleo, and some would argue its not linux but a version of bsd [00:53] Can anyone here help me with a Wifi card install? I have the driver. [00:53] Jack: nothing. [00:53] mikhailt and halitech: Yes, I added both the user and the database and reflected those in the wp-config.php file [00:53] <[TiZ]> Hi. I have a translucent panel, and Quod Libet with the tray icon plugin. QL's tray icon has an opaque background. Any way for me to fix this? [00:54] <[TiZ]> QL is entirely in python, so I can edit the source if necessary. [00:54] Does anybody have any experience with getting CloneZilla working on Ubuntu as a server edition? [00:54] hugleo, not sure what you mean, monitoring others networks [00:54] MttJocy: wait it's asking for missing packages [00:54] mrwes, ~/.ssh doesn't exist on the remote server either [00:54] !wifi | Gyron [00:54] Gyron: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === almark is now known as almark1 [00:54] Jack: it did nothing. [00:55] paw It was just a thought [00:55] what parameters I have to input for mkudffs to get full capacity out of DVD-RAM? [00:55] Ugg I got it working hit the wrong thing and now my screen is black :/ [00:55] Halitech, monitoring other machines (traffic by example) using nagios [00:55] Well this is a bummer.. black screen of death.. [00:55] badawi, What is? [00:55] hugleo, ok, not sure then, I guess any system that is stable and will stay up and running [00:56] Restarting Computer I guess :/ [00:56] Spoom, I can't figure it out... [00:56] Paw ctrl alt F7 sorrry [00:56] Yes tried that to nothing [00:56] Halitech, is ubuntu stable to that? [00:56] Just going to force shut down [00:56] Paw, ctrl-alt-f1? [00:56] hey, I need some guidence. it isn't really ubuntu related, but where can I find a good irc thread to a free hosting question? [00:56] jack: nothing [00:56] mrwes, thanks anyway then... tis just an annoyance, i want to be able to edit files directly with gedit but no matter what it times out [00:56] just gonna restartlol [00:56] !ot > istvan [00:56] istvan, please see my private message [00:56] MttJocy: it worked, u'll need to edit /usr/bin/azureus and change the classpath line to be like this -> -classpath /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar:$JARS \ [00:56] hugleo, should be [00:56] ok so Jack_Sparrow i checked sudo blkid for UUID and found out my external usb hdd is /dev/sdb1 (i think, its kinda hard to tell) so how would i make it mount to /media/disk in /etc/fstab? [00:57] halitech and mikhailt: I tried the settings with the root user and pass and it worked. Thanks a ton. :D [00:57] badawi, I think you misunderstand what I am talking about, I installed it from the repos which worked fine, then however because it is turned on by default in the package on the repository it demands the updated version and keeps trying to restart :s [00:57] Halitech, should? :) [00:57] mrwes, oh wait, i'm an idiot, i didn't realize .ssh was a directory :^P [00:57] you want known_hosts? [00:57] eseven73 I will paste my fstab for you.. it should help [00:57] badawi, Huh? [00:57] * _dUdU está away -=- motivo: TO não - so mais tarde ;D [00:57] <[TiZ]> Hi. I have a translucent panel, and Quod Libet with the tray icon plugin. QL's tray icon has an opaque background. Any way for me to fix this? Quod Libet is entirely in python, so if anyone knows a fix in the code, I can apply it myself. [00:57] ok [00:57] MttJocy: u need this package to be installed liblog4j1.2-java [00:57] badawi, Now you got me more confused === Adam is now known as Stargazer [00:58] hugleo, I don't see why not. is it just going to be doing that ask? [00:58] mrwes, there is an entry for gaul.csd.uwo.ca in known_hosts, think i should delete it? [00:58] MttJocy: what i'm doing, i'm taking the new .jar file and plugging it in place of the old one, now if ubuntu decides to release a new version, it will overwrite it, but till then this is the workaround [00:58] badawi, I've never had any issues with azureus updates before, at least not until I decided to install the ubuntu version because I was being lazy [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: ok for sure it is /dev/sdb1 i just checked with lshw as well as sudo blkid [00:59] Does anybody have any experience with getting CloneZilla working on Ubuntu as a server edition? [00:59] anyone know why 'echo -e \\x07' doesnt make my system beep? [00:59] eseven73 http://paste.ubuntu.com/83782/ [00:59] Halitech, backups perhaps [00:59] Hey guys, apparently there's an issue with intrepid+laptops+splash(boot). how do i edit out splash ? [00:59] Spoom, yah... try that [00:59] badawi, Humz I already have that liblog4j1.2-java thing, but it still didin't work when I put that file in over the Azureus2.jar [00:59] how do I access a motion eye camera on my sony Vaio laptop? [00:59] hugleo, then should be good with ubuntu, maybe go minimal install and put xfce on it to keep it lighter [00:59] Stargazer gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove splash from the command line [01:00] Jack_Sparrow, so all i do i delete 'splash' from that line ? [01:00] Hello, I'd like to know if the wireless router Linksys WRT54G2 works with Ubuntu??? [01:00] Stargazer If I understand your querstion.. yes [01:00] ooboontoo, It should work no probem [01:01] MttJocy: ok great, now edit /usr/bin/azureus and change the -classpath line to look like this -> -classpath /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar:$JARS \ [01:01] badawi, Is it because I need that classpath megigie [01:01] ooboontoo, yes [01:01] Halitech, what's better ubuntu release? 8.04? [01:01] great! then i'll buy it from amazon.com for $44 dollars [01:01] MttJocy: yes we're just adding log4j to the classpath [01:01] Jack_Sparrow, just to be sure we're on the same line: i want to disable the splash. [01:01] <_Zeus_> Pici, I created a wrapper for the screensaver [01:01] badawi, Ah, okay give me a minute will try again, need to download the new jar again [01:01] <_Zeus_> ty [01:01] ooboontoo, I'd put tomato firmware on there [01:01] where do I find that? [01:01] Anyone have experience with fixing ATI graphics cards on ubuntu 8.10? Would be a great help [01:01] anyone know how to use a motion eye webcam for a sony vaio laptop with ubuntu? [01:02] ooboontoo, google tomato firmware [01:02] thanks [01:02] Stargazer you can try removing splash for a test on boot.. hit escape then e then e and remove splash [01:02] ooboontoo, I'd just get it working first, tomato can be nice but not essential [01:02] mrwes, alas, same error: Could not open location 'sftp://jarsene@gaul.csd.uwo.ca/' Timed out when logging in [01:02] What does tomato do? [01:02] i'm convinced it's weirdness from the server that's confusing gvfs but i can't fix that as i don't have control over it [01:02] hugleo, 8.04 is an LTS version so I would go with that [01:02] ooboontoo, it's custom firmware for the router, can give some extra features (bandwidth use monitoring and some others) and some extra speed but for general use not really needed [01:03] Halitech, thanks [01:03] ok thanks Jack_Sparrow, one other thing how do i check to see what file system a drive is? [01:03] badawi, Ah, yeah that fixed it [01:03] MttJocy: but you do realize that after doing this step u're running a version that is not supported in ubuntu, u'll need to use the vuze support then. [01:03] why cant 2 programs produce audio at the same time? [01:03] ooboontoo, if not careful when installing can also kill the router (although I personally have done it successfully and it's a painless process) [01:03] eseven73 sudo fdisk -l last letter is L [01:03] Oh, thanks. I might be adding tomato later. I'm glad Linksys WRT54G2 works with Ubuntu [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] hey guys one problem intrepid doest recognize my sata disk on my aus mobo [01:03] dmulholland, jacking up the power on the wifi radio it one of the best features [01:03] m2a mvp [01:04] badawi, Well, I normally used the manual install from them anyway (the ubuntu versions always borked) so that is no biggie [01:04] mrwes, it it but not essential for the average user :) [01:04] dmulholland, didn't say it was :) [01:04] badawi, Is there some way to tell ubuntu to hold off on modifying that package till it asks me first? [01:04] Will the Linksys WRT54G2 work without tomato? [01:04] !pinning > MttJocy [01:04] MttJocy, please see my private message [01:04] badawi, ie not to stick it in with all the other updates but hold off [01:04] ooboontoo, yes [01:04] ooboontoo, yes it will work [01:04] OK [01:05] Jack_Sparrow, Huh? [01:05] Jack_Sparrow: it says the file system is Linux [01:05] :) [01:05] ooboontoo: Routers really don't have anything to do with Ubuntu, any router should work with any OS. [01:05] MttJocy Sorry, that was probably not right [01:05] Well... what if they come with a Windows-only installation CD? [01:05] Pici, ooboontoo, that is generally the case but some use java software for configuration... [01:05] Anyone here have luck configuring GRUB to load OSX? [01:05] MttJocy: i don't know, maybe Jack_Sparrow can help with this one [01:05] dmulholland: Thats pretty silly of them :) [01:05] eseven73 Ok.. add it to your fstab.. make sure you have created a proper mount point [01:05] Jack_Sparrow: is Linux file system the same as ext3? [01:06] ooboontoo, i will work by accessing an address in the browser to set up the configuration, you can generally ignore the command line [01:06] ooboontoo, i mean ignore the windows only cd [01:06] Ok [01:06] This is the router http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54G2-Wireless-G-Broadband-Router/dp/B0014J07R2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228954587&sr=1-1 [01:06] Pici, i agree, but so are most software companies :) [01:06] any can help me pls [01:07] Jack_Sparrow, Not quite sure that is what I was looking for, I just want to tell synaptic to hold off updating azureus unless I manually go into synaptic and say otherwise (keep it out of the update manager thing) or better if possible tell it not to update it if the package is bellow version 4.0.0.4 [01:07] Jack_Sparrow: ? [01:07] ooboontoo, can almost guarantee it will work with ubuntu, the more important question is if it will work with your internet connection [01:07] is 'Linux' file system the same as ext3? [01:07] I have a cable modem [01:07] eseven73 sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt and stick it in the pastebin [01:07] I just have to connect the router to my cable modem, right? [01:08] MttJocy Pinning will lock the current app.. [01:08] ooboontoo, if you have a cable modem with an ethernet connection then that should work no problem (although some might need configuration details which you can get from your ISP) [01:08] <[TiZ]> Hi. I have a translucent panel, and Quod Libet with the tray icon plugin. QL's tray icon has an opaque background. Any way for me to fix this? Quod Libet is entirely in python, so if anyone knows a fix in the code, I can apply it myself. [01:08] ooboontoo id setup some security. [01:08] Jack_Sparrow, Ah, I think I might have found something that might work in synaptic I found Package -> Lock Version [01:08] eseven73 there are many linux setups.. ext3 is only one [01:08] Jack_Sparrow, I assume now synaptic wont try to update it now? [01:08] MttJocy Did you read about pinning [01:08] Like he DHCP thing? === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [01:09] !pinning > badawi [01:09] badawi, please see my private message [01:09] hey, what is a good batch photo editing program? i need to crop hundreds of photos to 800 x 600 === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [01:09] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f31259c3f [01:09] ooboontoo, exactly, some need log in details [01:09] http://pastebin.com/m6a8d894f - this is what happens when i connect manually, i'm wondering if the "couldn't set locale correctly" line means anything... i'm trying to connect to this server via SSH in GVFS (i.e. Places -> Connect to Server) but it times out, while working on a terminal, anyone have an idea why that might be? [01:09] should i use gimp? [01:09] afk [01:09] ooboontoo, are you using a machine with ubuntu connected directly to the modem? [01:09] Yes [01:09] @[TiZ]: Find the image and Gimp it up [01:10] ooboontoo, then it shouldnt need much configuration or you would have found it more difficult getting the internet to work in ubuntu :) [01:10] Jack_Sparrow, Actually no I just noticed it in Syanptic, that pinning thing I thought was something else, it talked about different distributions of Ubuntu and stuff :s [01:10] I need batch image croping tho [01:10] eseven73, run parted, then type 'print all' and it will show you filesystem types [01:10] Use Gimp and make the background transparent [01:10] ooboontoo, the router should be able to automatically configure itself and "just work" [01:10] anybody proficient with mkudffs? [01:10] Is there any reason I havent had any updates for ibex for about 1 month? (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade)? [01:10] !pinning [01:10] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [01:11] <[TiZ]> Zoasterboy: What can I do for it in the gimp? The image itself has translucency. Or at least it seems to [01:11] intrepid doesnt recognice my sata hd why??? [01:11] Great. How many computer can be connected wirelessly? [01:11] monkeyb, check software sources for where it's getting the updates from and also check if it is automatically installing [01:11] comptuers* [01:11] 1337 people in the room [01:11] DANG! [01:11] that was cool tho zoaster [01:11] ooboontoo--> plenty [01:11] eseven73 What does gparted tell you about those partitions? [01:11] One more! [01:11] Jack_Sparrow, Right OK, all I want it to do is leave the new Azureus2.jar and /usr/bin/azureus I just modified stay put :| [01:12] ok i have my fstab entry as UUID= /media/disk auto defaults 0 0 [01:12] ooboontoo, quite a few.... upwards of 10 definitely [01:12] Yes! [01:12] that should work? [01:12] Jack_Sparrow, And I locked the version so it is safe now right? [01:12] a l337 person! [01:12] i just installed unbuntu 8.10 on VBox and i can't log in as root [01:12] ooboontoo, in theory 253 devices can get an ip from a single router [01:12] Curses, I give up. [01:12] any good alternatives to muine that don't eat up 350 mb of memory? [01:12] dmulholland: how do i check if it is automatically installing? [01:12] MttJocy It should be.. but since you added repos and such, I cant be 100% sure [01:12] rzec--> same thing if it was not a vm install, you can not log on as root directly til its configured [01:12] Great! That's enough for my mom and my sister's laptop (which have wireless adapaters that work with Ubuntu) [01:13] hey guys, am i better off with virtual box or kvm to test other os's in ubuntu? [01:13] monkeyb, go to System > Adminitration > Software Sources > Updates Tab [01:13] vbox [01:13] ooboontoo, I would say so ~L~ [01:13] derekS kvm here [01:13] Jack_Sparrow, I don't recall saying I had done that, but yeah I did put medibuntu on [01:13] tacidsky, Jack_Sparrow: why to both of yours? [01:13] to each his own :) [01:13] monkeyb, also launch update manager and hit check (or "sudo apt-get update" from command line [01:13] Jack_Sparrow, Needed it for libdvdcss [01:13] cus virtual box ive used so i guess i see it as easy. [01:14] Jack_Sparrow: it says its ext3 [01:14] derekS Personal preference [01:14] Halitech--> which theory was that? hehe...its limited by the dhcp server capability running [01:14] why did fstab say it was Linux and not ext3? O.o [01:14] thanks guys! [01:14] dmulholland: thanks, that got it for me [01:14] monkeyb, no worries [01:14] err not fstab i mean bah w/e that other command was i used [01:14] eseven73 So using my example, you should be able to edit your fstab..

[01:15] np [01:16] how can i disable the join / part messages in xchat ? [01:16] ...it works just fine when I run from terminal, but when I assign it to F12 with gconf-editor, nothing happens when I press F12 (but when F12 is assigned to something like firefox it works just fine) [01:16] n8tuser2, if they stay within the same subnet then 253 assuming 1 and 255 are reserved for the server [01:16] tacidsky right click the channel tab [01:16] tacidsky, I don't believe you can, they are part of the IRC protocol [01:16] l337ingDisorder, have you set it to run in a terminal? [01:16] oh thanks :) [01:16] dmulholland: not sure how I'd do that [01:16] was looking in prefs [01:17] l337ingDisorder COmpiz has many of those hotkeys in use [01:17] !Gnomenu [01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about Gnomenu [01:17] MttJocy: you can ignore them, i'm ignoring them right now in irssi [01:17] l337ingDisorder, you may put the command in a script and run it instead === luv_cute is now known as cew_mencari [01:17] tacidsky, But you could try asking in #xchat they would know more === nuts2 is now known as iKnife [01:17] l337ingDisorder, another way to do it is to put it in a script and run that [01:18] Jack_Sparrow: as mentioned, F12 works with other commands instead of the rdesktop command so it's not a conflict === luv_cute is now known as CEW_MENCARI_KEKA [01:18] Thank you for al your help.

[01:19] <_Zeus_> i have no passphrase [01:20] badawi, Well, I am not sure xchat has that option never seen it and I have fiddled in it's prefs alot but I could be wrong (thus my suggestion of #xchat I figured someone there would know if the option existed at least) [01:20] MttJocy: yeah i'm with you on that one [01:20] weird... I tried switching to metacity window manager and it started working.. switched back to compiz, and it's still working... [01:20] so it looks like compiz just needed to be restarted [01:21] l337ingDisorder, when adding hotkeys its always a good idea to restart things... [01:21] which is strange, cause I had that working F12 keyboard shortcut and all I changed was the
part [01:21] thanks for the help guys!

[01:35] super. thanks all! thankfully with newegg i wont have to wait past thursday for a new processor :) [01:35] DarkKnight, no idea, I played around with joomla and personally didn't care for it [01:35] s/it'/it's/ [01:35] xylog: there is [01:35] xylog: named xchm [01:36] Joomla is ugly. [01:36] Try Drupal [01:36] xylog, try GnoCHM as well [01:36] wesley, thanx! [01:36] Halitech; the problem is that i have to build a good website with very little HTML coding experience === ubuntunewbie is now known as uewbie [01:36] Drupal. [01:36] Hi ppls i am attempting to try and reporr a bug and need a little adviccce this is against the 8.10 on the latest standard kernel 2.6.27-9-generic but this bug has existed ib previous versions i am in lanunchpad but not sure how to go about it ? [01:36] xylog: there is also gnochm [01:37] DarkKnight, try drupal like NotADJ suggested [01:37] ok I see those both in Synaptec I will try them out === abe is now known as name_name [01:37] anparks, just a quicky... if its compiled in the kernel.. it will work.. unless you compile your own "light weight" kernel chances are the new processor you are getting is already compiled into the default kernel that you are using. === uewbie is now known as ntp_how [01:37] <_Zeus_> anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/83791/ [01:37] Hi, can anyone help me with NFS? I`m getting the same error while mounting over and over again. "mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: timed out, giving up"... [01:38] Do you know how can I customise multi-keys in X? [01:38] peleg__, you can use them within keyboard shortcuts [01:38] peleg__, System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [01:38] NotADJ, Halitech; i installed drupal...but i seem to have not installed it properly...there's some existing problem....can you help [01:38] _Zeus_, did you check google? [01:39] DarkKnight, probably not unless you have an error message, I've never installed it or used it [01:39] Umm guys I was on ubuntu, and randomly my monitor went off and said power save mode.. any ideas? [01:39] dmulholland, thanks, I'll have a look! [01:39] is DVD ripping a taboo topic here? [01:39] could someone please point me to a good howto on converting my root & swap to LVM2? I've googled and only found howto's for installing into LVM2, not for converting to it after the fact... thanks [01:40] dmulholland, oh, that lets me only to edit existing shortcuts, but not add new ones. [01:40] Umm guys I was on ubuntu, and randomly my monitor went off and said power save mode.. any ideas? [01:40] is there a way to be warned when someone is ssh'ing on my machine ? to have a sound played eventually ? [01:40] dmulholland, eg,

: "¶" [01:40] I got a 5gb partition with vista on it, I haven't booted to it for like a month, I still don't want to well because.. I was thinking of vmware, can it boot that vista partition inside ubuntu without having to turn the good system off? [01:40] peleg__, I know you can add new shortcuts using gconf-editor but I've never done it [01:40] Why is it that every time I play a song in Amarok, I need to shut it down before sound will work in any other application? For example, right now... playing a song in Amarok. Paused it to listen to a video in Firefox, but it won't play. I need to close Amarok AND restart Firefox. [01:40] dmulholland, I see, thanks. [01:40] xanderp, my understanding is, you would need to re-size your partitions, create temp mount points that you can use, then create the lvm, move everything back, and update the configs [01:41] anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/83792/ [01:41] name_name, yes it can [01:41] It is very useful: for example, ss ---> ß [01:41] DarkKnight: I may be able to help. [01:41] This same sound issue has been around since PulseAudio... but now switching to ALSA still doesn't help. Any thoughts? [01:41] what's a good software that plays like a wav/mp3 if your cpu is too high? [01:41] Ayyad: I've got another drive entirely that I can use for this... [01:41] name_name, you sort of need to read the vmware docs though.. but yeah.. its pretty straight forward [01:42] so it's a function of it [01:42] not very hard for vmware to do [01:42] whenI turn off xubuntu, it goes to some black and white prompt thingy [01:42] some errors show up [01:42] xanderp, then its a matter of moving everything to the other drive, updating fstab, etc. doing the lvm on the old hard drive, then moving things back [01:42] pertaining to the wireless access [01:42] how do I fix this? [01:42] I tihnk it has to do with me not being able to connect to my wireless access point [01:42] I installed it on the same comp [01:42] !enter [01:42] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:44] when I turn off xubuntu, it goes to some black and white prompt thingy some errors show up pertaining to the wireless access how do I fix this? I tihnk it has to do with me not being able to connect to my wireless access point I installed it on the same comp with wubi and it worked fine. I wiped the drive, installed linux on the whole drive and it wont connect [01:44] Can somebody please assist me in getting dual monitors set up, please PM me [01:44] It would be much obliged [01:44] ntp_how: http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/ntp/#toc8 [01:44] Anyone, I'm using an LCD TV and the desktop is stretched outside of the edges of the screen.

[01:49] how do i create a shortcut of a program i installed? [01:50] ok Anusien ty [01:50] xorlim: I think I see some things related to floppies not working in ubuntu 8.10 [01:50] wendy_, a shortcut to the "executable" ? [01:50] when I turn off xubuntu, it goes to some black and white prompt thingy some errors show up pertaining to the wireless access how do I fix this? I tihnk it has to do with me not being able to connect to my wireless access point I installed it on the same comp with wubi and it worked fine. I wiped the drive, installed linux on the whole drive and it wont connect [01:50] xorlim: try doing "sudo modprobe floppy" [01:50] wendy_: the easiest way, (proof of concept) is to make a 'Launcher' [01:50] Could somebody please explain how to set up dual monitors on my computer? [01:50] Anusien, if you could think about having a sound played when the /var/log/auth.log changes, that would be nice [01:50] wendy_: just right click on the desktop, and click 'Create Launcher...' [01:51] lstarnes: the result is nothing. [01:51] yea so that is shows under applications/internet [01:51] jeremy_: what video drivers are you using? [01:51] xorlim: now see if you have the device nodes for the floppy drive [01:51] Um [01:51] ok, so a more specific question: how can I know what is my defined locale? [01:51] Intel [01:51] I need help guys, when i play urban terror it runs fine (65 fps) but when i look at other people playing the game it goes down to 5 fps. [01:51] how do you change which of the installed drivers ubuntu uses?? I really need help here [01:51] lstarnes: yes, I do! [01:51] oh that.. i think you go on "Applications" ->*right click* -> edit menus [01:51] jeremy_: ah, i don't know then, you should consult the driver documentation... i only know how to do it on Nvidia [01:52] Well [01:52] maybe you can help me with my problem [01:52] my ubuntu distro CDs dont burn properly, every single one doesnt install it right :/ [01:52] Do you know anything about a RadeonX800 driver? [01:52] jeremy_: no. [01:52] xorlim: for some reason, ubuntu 8.10 doesn't load the floppy module by default anymore, likely because floppies are rarely used. I'll see if I can figure out how to make ubuntu load that module on startup [01:52] lstarnes: and mount /dev/fd0 makes the drive light light. [01:53] lstarnes: ok, thanks! === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [01:53] xorlim: open /etc/modules and add the floppy module to it [01:53] Jeremy_, if you check with google.. i know there are alot of docs about this... i honestly cant remember how it was done directly from the xorg.conf file.. but I remember it was simple! [01:53] I'm currently testing the live cd version of Kubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.1, on an Asus G50V-X1 laptop (Intel T5750 CPU, Nvidia 9700M GT GPU. Is there any specific reason to upgrade to the 64bit variety over the 32 bit variety? === JesusChrist is now known as bruenig [01:54] Firefishe: no, not really [01:54] !64bit | Firefishe [01:54] Firefishe: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [01:54] can anyone explain what the differences would be between installing ubuntu and adding the studio package:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation versus just installing ubuntustudio [01:54] EMT? [01:54] can I run kubuntu on a comp with 1.8ghz and 256 RAM? [01:54] Firefishe, if you have 4GB+ ram... plus.. on some benchmarks.. some things do run a bit faster [01:55] Firefishe: dang, that's not what i wanted, there are some docs out there that talk about this with ubuntu, and the general consensus is that it's not worth the trouble [01:55] Ayyad: I have 4GB exactly... [01:55] lstarnes: great! do I boot the computer or do something else like init -q? [01:55] Firefishe: except for what Ayyad is talking about [01:55] guys ive got ubuntu installed on a old p3 600 with 400 meg of ram, got everything working but the sound is very choppy, ive never had ANY sound issues in ubuntu before, any ideas where id start fixing this? [01:55] rdw200169: No worries :-). I hit the wrong buttons sometimes, too. [01:55] ^5 [01:55] the soundcard is onboard and rather old [01:55] I think you should go with the 64 bit version then... I know that ubuntu doesnt support PAE by default.. unless you want to compile your own kernel.. go for the 64 bit version [01:56] Firefishe: more ram was the primary reason for the push to 64 bit, and that's more of a server thing nowadays [01:56] anyone? [01:56] xorlim: you don't need to do anything else. The modprobe command took care of loading the module and /etc/modules defines extra modules to load when booting [01:56] lstarnes: thanks! I will boot now to see if the effects are in effect. [01:56] lstarnes: ok [01:56] nnull, Are you using 8.10? [01:56] .04 exodus_ms [01:57] nnull, alsa? pulseAudio? [01:57] So does anyone know how to fix the 8.10 ATI Radeon problem :( My screen keeps freezing [01:57] and graphics are mega glitchy [01:57] Ayyad: Well, this is a laptop, not a server. I'm on the live cd, and I'm absolutely loving kde 4.1. I've got debian lenny (testing) on the hard drive right now, and it's giving me nothing short of excruciating headaches ;-). Long dns lookup times, takes my browsers forever to load. I had to use OSS as alsa doesn't work, and my Atheros wireless doesn't work on it. [01:57] it's using alsa by default, don't think its compat with pulse being as old as it is [01:57] exodus_ms¬ ^ [01:57] BAbbleprobably nothing [01:57] np diff [01:57] Babbelaar, probably nothing [01:58] ok [01:58] With the live cd, I'm on my wireles, sound is great in Amarok, and I need to test my ethernet connection, but everything else seems to be working. [01:58] I am thinking of doing with the ubuntustudio distro and adding Compiz Fusion! [01:58] Firefishe, i have ubuntu 64 on my laptop and i'm not complaining :P [01:58] nnull, aplay -l [01:58] how do i add a icon image to a shortcut? [01:59] Firefishe, as for the long DNS lookups.. I'm sure its not a debian thing.. but rather a configuration problem [01:59] Ayyad: Firefishe, i went with 64 bit a few years ago and gave up, but that was back in the day when you had to build chroot environments for 32bit libraries etc... [01:59] hi folks [01:59] hey i need some help [01:59] go ahead ask! [01:59] ah there we go dpkg-reconfigure tzdata was the ticket === svippery is now known as svip [01:59] rdw200169, I agree .. in the past, it was horrific [01:59] nnull, And you said you had success before? Was it 8.04? [02:00] ok i have a 160 gb external hard drive that i cant copie files to [02:00] is there a sane way for me to get syslog-ng running on hardy withouth loosing body parts? i'd like to see some syslog messages on a tty like tty10,, ans serioulsy syslog is pretty old [02:00] exodus_ms¬ has one device on card 0 Riptide [Riptide] device :0 Riptide [Riptide] -- Subdevices 2/3 then it just says subdevice a bunch of time [02:00] f4cel3ss: mounted as r [02:00] only [02:00] exodus_ms¬ nah mate havent had success at all with this, just trying it now and not working, its on 8.04 now. [02:01] need a little help with that [02:01] f4cel3ss, can u see what's on the hdd? [02:01] How can I install KDE on a just upgraded 8.1? KDE broke on the upgrade from Hardy, but worked after the upgrade from Gutsy.\ [02:01] f4cel3ss, check permissions/ownership of the mount point [02:01] yes i can see wats on it [02:02] Ayyad: I don't know what's up with the dns lookups. I just know it takes 30 seconds on average--in iceweasel--to load a page from scratch, cache cleared. Konqueror takes even longer--although I've always liked konqueror's rendering of pages...looks beautiful to me ;) [02:02] f4cel3ss: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk nosuid [02:02] how would i do that Ayyad [02:02] nnull, You said you are using alsa, so your sound drivers exist? [02:02] on kubuntu 8.10, no lag anywhere === cs278 is now known as cs278|laptop [02:02] Anyone know how to fix Ati Radeon graphics card on Ubuntu 8.10? [02:02] f4cel3ss, does it appear automatically when you plug it? [02:02] *bm [02:02] yes [02:02] Firefishe, you might want to check your /etc/resolv.conf (bind config as well if its running) [02:02] stop advising peoplle to bypass hal [02:03] exodus_ms¬ i guess so? sound comes out its just all choppy and when loud things happen speaks just go all DUURR [02:03] f4cel3ss, is it fomatted with ntfs? [02:03] does ubuntu support 64 but systems [02:03] s/but/bi [02:03] lstarnes: great, thanks! now I can browse my floppies normally with the "GNOME" and the console! [02:03] s/but/bit [02:03] f4cel3ss, the easiest (not best way) that i can think of is just giving yourself ownership on the directly its mounted.. so as root chown yourUserName /dir/to/mount/point [02:04] J_xinudsb i did that and it says i can only do it with root [02:04] nnull, have you tried configuring 'alsamixer' [02:04] don't use root's name in vain. find the problem, instead of quick-fixing it [02:05] f4cel3ss, dont try to mount it!!!! it is already mounted (since you can see whats on it) [02:05] ok ok [02:05] Matson: yes use the amd64 iso it supports 64 bit intel/amd cpu's [02:05] Ayyad: Already been there, done that. DNS resolves to three name servers via my ISP. Oddly, when I switch between dhclient and dhcpcd daemons (remove one, install the other), dhcpcd changes the order of them in /etc/resolv.conf. I notice no difference in lookup times with either. I think I'm just going to install this and be done with it :) . Updates are coming for 4.1 quickly now, so there shouldn't be any problems. [02:05] bidossessi?? it needs to be done as root (sudo if thats whats bothering you).. but at the end of the day.. its the same thing! [02:05] f4cel3ss, one possibility. all usb/external hdd stuff should be automounted by hald. so you should not need to doit by hand. [02:05] How can I fix a broken KDE from the console; KDE does not start properly. [02:06] ok [02:06] exodus_ms¬ howso? change devices or? sorry as i said ive had no sound issues previously so havent had to do this before [02:06] Firefishe, you can always try something like nslookup hostname dns1.yourisp.com [02:06] Question : i'm currently using putty and am logged onto my ubuntu machine via WLAN, however when the ubuntu machine goes into "sleep mode", irssi starts to lag. how can i prevent this? [02:06] as a result if you have manually created a folder in the mount target direcotyr, it probably belongs to root [02:06] and see if its a problem with one of the DNS servers [02:06] pdf font rendering is horrible. is there anywhere to improve it? [02:06] na i haven't done thT [02:07] that [02:07] nnull, Just type alsamixer in the terminal and see if you can make any changes that suffice. [02:07] 1 sec brb [02:07] f4cel3ss, which folder does your hdd appear in? [02:07] exodus_ms¬ alsamixer in terminal just brings up a bunch of audio volume controls in CLI format? [02:07] noob here [02:07] Firefishe, also you could try a dig +trace some.hostname.com .. it should give you a better picture [02:07] mythtv scrambles picture on channel change, both on laptop and desktop computer, does anyone know of a fix? [02:07] and on that note.. i'll brb [02:07] gnutron: thanks [02:08] if I just throw in my questions will I be considered rude? [02:08] Ayyad: k, I'll consider it....but I'm really loving kubuntu here *drool* +*Poof* [02:08] nnull, ok, thats correct. [02:08] exodus_ms¬ do i want to add more gain or ? see im lost here no nothing about audio :s [02:08] Ayyad: I've used kubuntu/ubuntu before. [02:08] hp: install msttcorefonts, gsfonts and gsfontsx11 not real sure of the last two, search or ask. it might help. [02:08] know* [02:08] Ayyad: just not on this laptop [02:08] darclaine, i think you are SUPPOSED to do just that [02:09] ty bidossessi [02:09] thanks gnutron [02:09] Trying to figure out how to make the desktop fit within the dimensions of the screen [02:10] bidossessi wat exactly do u mean [02:10] nnull, type cat /proc/asound/modules and see if you can choose a default... [02:10] f4cel3ss, i mean : when you plug your hdd, it pops up a window right? what path can you read in that window? [02:10] ah ok media/disk [02:11] exodus_ms¬ only 1 too choose from: 0 snd_riptide [02:11] to* [02:11] Firefishe, i'm not advising you agasint ubuntu.. i personally love it.. I'm just saying that your DNS problems can easily be solved [02:11] trying to get jbidwatcher and moneydance to work but only get full graphics in the top left hand corner of the window.- used the package manager and the add/remove to get all the java/sunjava/iced tea I could find .. still no change ideas? [02:11] that is hald's target path? when you unplug that hdd, does that folder still exist? [02:11] nnull, ok, hold on pls... [02:11] exodus_ms¬ no worries. [02:11] no it dont [02:12] when i unplug it the folder is no loger there [02:12] f4cel3ss, then it's not a permission issue, since hald knows how to handle that easily on userspace. u need to figure out if you have an ntfs hdd and if you have ntfs-write capabilities installed [02:13] ok how would i find out if i have those capabilities === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [02:14] well i suppose there is a ntfs-3g package, isn't there? find out if it's installed on your system [02:14] hola [02:14] gente [02:14] When I boot Ubuntu, usplash quits and I see a load of instructions that I can't seem to find in any boot log. It ends in "for more details, see man 8 mount" if that helps. I also had a separate hard drive whose partitions were messed up, but I physically unplugged the drive and commented out its fstab entry. Any ideas? [02:14] alguien habla español? [02:14] !sp | Sicario [02:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about sp [02:14] how would i dot hat [02:14] !spanish | Sicario [02:14] Sicario: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:14] !es [02:14] that * [02:14] schnauzer: did you view dmesg? [02:14] nnull, --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/83811/ [02:15] Sicario creo ke nadie habla español [02:15] f4cel3ss, use the package manager i guess [02:15] How long does it usually take for a package to be updated to the latest version of a piece of software? Apparently Sun released 6.11 of Java, and the package in the main repository is 6.10. [02:15] bidossessi, if he plusgs it in, the folder is there.. if he unplugs it, the folder isnt there.. that concludes that its not a permission issue? [02:15] Ayyad, yes it does, if you know how hald works [02:15] join ubuntu-es [02:16] bidossessi, so setting the ownership or the permissions on the mountpoint wont fix this right? [02:16] exodus_ms¬ i haven't installed any driver's specifically for the card, assumed it would be using a default driver automatically for me to be hearing sound at all?

[02:20] bidossessi, your correct.. mybad.. i am sort of in the middle of something so i'm not reading everything said. in the case of hald.. you are correct! [02:20] darclaine: What sort of bugs? I've been having huge issues with Java recently. [02:20] O have a lovely flashing while or black effect like a strobe [02:20] Guest66429: depends on the question.. throw it out there and see if you get referenced to #kubuntu [02:20] Izinucs: okay i try it 1st [02:20] nope no where did i see that [02:20] any one there [02:20] f4cel3ss, open a console (gnome-terminal/xterm) and type "mount" [02:21] trying to run programs but I can only see the top left hand part of the window the other three quarters art matt [02:21] Can i get help here?

[02:25] vlc? ubuntu? which menu? [02:25] see thats why i am stuck [02:26] f4cel3ss, it's a kernel module so it will need to be loaded for it to be usable? two ways: reboot or modprobe. i advise reboot [02:26] why eth0 is not ready .... [02:26] Guest14684: if that doesn't do it then have a look at the man page for update-rc.d. you'll want to make sure you have runlevel startup scripts for kde [02:26] i don't know [02:26] inktri right click desktop, go to wallpaper, last tab on the right [02:26] ok i installed it and this is the error [02:26] Failed to open "/media/disk/midi_G_RSP_v3.2a_TES_Elite_dAd.rar" for writing (Read-only file system).

[02:38] So how is everyone :/ [02:38] cluster, do this in the terminal : sudo rmmod e100; modprobe e100 [02:38] Paw, pretty green [02:39] look at this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469755 --> I think that I have the same bug in ubuntu 7.10 [02:39] Is there anyway to run Ubuntu on safe graphics mode, ubuntu hates my video card.. [02:39] bidossessi, if u need it, install it [02:39] That is, whenever I run notify-send from a fullscreen, it is not shown (not only not shown OVER the fullscreen, but not shown at all; for example, if I run it without being in the fullscreen at the moment - I still can't see it from the outside) [02:40] i go thtis after modprobe e100 [02:40] FATAL: Error inserting e100 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko): Operation not permitted [02:40] what will happen if i attempt to unmount a drive mounted as /home on my system?] [02:40] should /vmlinux be writeable by all? [02:40] x-ip, like i said, installing it automatically removes ubuntu-minimal. what i want to know is how critical that package is to my daily life [02:40] cluster, ups, sudo rmmod e100; sudo modprobe e100 [02:41] i have a raid 5 array mounted there, and i need to unmount it to check the filesystem before growing it.

[02:46] init 3 ? [02:46] what are the default sans and sans-serif fonts in bubuntu? [02:46] they are nameless [02:46] cluster, u can do that doing: sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 for example [02:46] kizalid: will amarok be able to sync all the itunes would [02:46] when u reboot, ur changes will be lost [02:46] anyone know if i can safely unmount my /home directory? while the system is running? or will i have to boot from a live cd or something? [02:47] outboard, yes, during the grub part of your boot up, or later,by typing "init 3" as root [02:47] so you can add this line to rc.local script [02:47] Hello everybody!!! I'm having trouble with irssi not beeping on hilites. I am pretty sure I have irssi's setting correct. Is there something I need to do in gnome-terminal?

[02:51] un_dave, you could unmount from init 1 [02:51] badawi: I just explained it to you. [02:52] genii: i'm sure there's an easier way not involving the internet [02:52] bidossessi: whats init 1? [02:52] It won't let me install the broadcomSTA driver that I know works as it was working fine before I had to reinstall [02:52] cluster, well. .... u'll have to read something about firewalls, and read the documentation from firestarter ... i think that the problem about 'firestarter doesnt start' is 'fixed' ... u have homework ;) [02:52] badawi: If you suspect what package, query it with: sudo dpkg -L and it lists the files therein [02:52] un_dave, runlevel 1 (single-user, no network) [02:52] Hi everybody! [02:52] genii: i'm looking for the inverse of dpkg -L [02:52] un_dave: init level 1 is single user mode [02:53] badawi: There isn't one [02:53] * |{urse needs chocolate milk brb [02:53] Man i can't believe something that in windows is a check box in ubuntu is a MASSIVE mission [02:53] badawi: Once a file is extracted from a package it does not keep a record of whence it came [02:53] genii: rpm allows you to find out wxhat package a file belongs to. aptitude must have its equivalent somewhere [02:53] ifconfig [02:53] genii: are you serious [02:53] bidossessi: heh, yeah, but i'd have to do that from home anyways i guess. i'll be easier to boot from live cd then? i'm accessing the box from work at the moment. [02:53] opps :) [02:54] genii: in rpm it's rpm -qf /usr/bin/ls forexample [02:54] un_dave, safer, and more convenient [02:54] bidossessi: out of curiosity, how would i start in init 1 if i wanted too? [02:54] badawi: That would work well if ubuntu used rpm. But it doesn't [02:54] badawi, opensuse? [02:54] genii: thank you [02:54] The apt/dpkg system has similer commands.. check the apt-get manuals. [02:55] un_dave, i guess "sudo init 1" or just entering "1" at grub should do it [02:55] badawi: dpkg -S /path/file [02:55] dr_willis, i knew it MUST have it [02:55] <|{urse> deleveling from an already running xsession will not kill X [02:55] <|{urse> so run it from tgrub [02:55] onetinsoldier: thank you, that's what i was looking for [02:55] onetinsoldier: Nice :) [02:56] badawi: you're welcomne [02:56] :-) [02:56] I'm running firefox and although it worked before, I cannot hear any audio on youtube anymore.

Some volunteer please acknowledge. [03:05] the first tab is the tab you're looking for [03:06] I have Pulse in some and HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) in others [03:06] yeah, that's where i am looking bidossessi [03:06] onetinsoldier: sorry, was afk, but anyway, ubuntu should boot, because the boot drive is on a single drive, and the home drive is the raid5 [03:07] I need help with EXTREMELY slow usb transfer rates in Intrepid [03:07] andresmh, i don't think it can get simpler than that. but some apps bypass pulseaudio (now a standard in modern gnome distributions) [03:07] the usb is Fragmented [03:07] or about to die [03:07] j_xinudsb: is that toward me? [03:08] I wonder why a sound card can have 5-6 devices in ubuntu ...and yet I cant decide if the sound goes in the front or back plug [03:08] un_dave: ok, sounds good [03:08] yes, or is USB 1.1 [03:08] and not 2 [03:08] onetinsoldier: also, in my fstab it references the uuid for the drive rather than the /dev/sd* or something like that [03:08] it is a new 4GB SanDisk USB2 flash drive === bruenig is now known as ushdf||Work [03:08] works fine on my 8.04 machine and in Vista [03:08] un_dave: ahh, i see [03:09] bbl [03:09] un_dave, that could be an issue. i suggest you use the /dev/sd* schema [03:09] <|{urse> thanks it worked but it doesn't like rendering on a 32 inch HDTV ;) [03:09] bidossessi: why is that an issue? [03:09] bidossessi, so this is how my sound preferences look like: http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/3227/screenshotsoundpreferenve9.png [03:09] anyone can help me on 8.10 networking? cause my wired and wireless and 3g notworking at all [03:09] <|{urse> oh try using the realtime kernel t0m_ [03:10] <|{urse> go google rtkernel ubuntu [03:10] <|{urse> that should fix you up [03:10] i thought uuid was better than /dev/sd* because it's not dependant on phyisical drive location [03:10] i am oconfused about th edefault mixer tracks device and the options underneath, i am not clear what they control [03:10] andresmh, looks like mine, and even skypre runs fine on my machine [03:10] I am not that worried about it i am not watching too many movies it just is a bug and i no likey [03:10] <|{urse> ah ^^ ' [03:11] bidossessi, glad to hear that :) so the fact that i have Device: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) doesn't mean i am using Pulse? [03:11] un_dave, it "could" be an issue if your uuids get shifted around, using /dev/sd* is relatively safer, and still supported === Ned_Flanders is now known as Ned_Flanders7 [03:11] wait for the 7.5 xorg to come out the box [03:11] maybe you should uninstall pulse [03:12] bidossessi, uuid's aren't supposed to change, they're written to the partition. Manual intervention is required to change one [03:12] andresmh, pulse will run above alsa and act as a "sound-traffic cop" for all apps that need sound [03:12] bidossessi, until it segfaults [03:12] jrib, Jack_Sparrow , I have EnvyNG (some kind of display package installation controlling application) installed.

Thanks [03:16] test34, bottom line, because an indivudual uuid is reasonably reliably unique, across all uuid's [03:16] Luminerd__, try "lpstat -s" in a console to see whatsup [03:16] because one thing i've noticed is that if i am playing sound on flash plugin on firefox, i cannot play sound on other apps until i close firefox [03:16] Luminerd__-> well confirm that they are really in same subnet [03:16] it's quite annoying [03:16] EnvyNG ?

[03:17] and sometimes even if i close all the apps i still cannot play sound until i reboot [03:17] I have a domain hosted at my home server which is also DHCP, DNS and Firewall, how can I access that domain behind the gateway, as I try and it keeps connecting for ages and then fails... [03:17] nickrud, /dev/hda1 is unique too until you mess with your partitions [03:17] hey has anyone installed php6 on ubuntu > 8.04 ?? [03:17] mamo[at]work-> are you familiar enuff with routing? how would your packet know which way it will take if you have both wired and wireless connected to same router? <- are you understanding my question ?

[03:38] zeus, im absolutly totally new to linux/ubuntu i dont really know what open source is. :/ [03:38] <_Zeus_> !free [03:38] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [03:38] <_Zeus_> first link [03:38] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh [03:38] k [03:38] ty [03:38] bidossessi-> stating ifconfig is deprecated which is not [03:38] <_Zeus_> it's not a big deal, though... [03:38] n8tuser: i paste it to u in pm? [03:38] ima try this [03:38] Avoid ifconfig. It does not show unlabelled secondary addresses, does not show down interfaces by default, and uses an older kernel accessing method. Instead, please use: ip. Examples: ip a, ip r. See !ip for more information about the ip command. [03:38] <_Zeus_> 90 % of people use it [03:38] What's the actual difference between the -generic and -virtual kernel flavors in 8.04?

[03:43] mamo[at]work-> okay, your line 3 show your ip address...now what is the issue again? i cleared my buffer i cant scroll back [03:43] installed it.. now? list of commands how can i see it? [03:43] zenabo, you could share your source folder using samba (nautilus) and look it up in windows with network neighborhood [03:43] like gtk+, gtkglext, libxml2, zlib, libpng, and libmhash? [03:43] what are all these "read error" or "lost connection" do they just have bad connections? [03:43] incadudeF: that didn't work. try a /msg instead. but you shouldn't do that without asking first tho. not considered proper IRC etiquette to do so without asking first [03:43] zenabo: what are you trying to do, from where? [03:43] zenable: dependencies i think, not programs [03:44] noobie question. I added a user "dev" for our web developer, how do I share the public_html folder with him from the admin user so he can interact with the site? [03:44] i'm compiling a program, :S and i need these [03:44] don't know if i have them [03:44] from putty on windows already accessed to linux desktop, now i wanna know if its possible with this soft to transfer files both ways.. [03:44] does anyone know what is up with my title bars. they're turning grey and the buttons are disappearing [03:44] hi peeps did the hardy repos update the mplayer package?? casue I did several updates and I can't find the packages mplayer and mencoder need [03:44] http://pastebin.ca/1282327 [03:44] zenabo: easy [03:45] n8tuser: the i paste is on my 8.04 system. my 8.10 laptop cannot connect with wired. samething when i tried to connected with wireless or 3g [03:45] Im looking for a application for editing mp3, ie clipping out certain parts. Anyone know of an app for linux? [03:45] zenabo: first get out of your windows user dir, do this in windows mkdir \temp [03:45] how o i install nautilus? [03:45] symlink? [03:45] mamo[at]work-> am getting confused, can you draw your network layout and show what devices are connected to what? [03:45] zenabo, nautilus is installed on your ubuntu machine. it's the file browser [03:46] How does the dev user see the ~/public_html folder from the main admin user? [03:46] onetinsoldier, just curious .. what are you chastizing incadudeF for.. I haven't seen anything he's done to object to. [03:46] zenabo: cd \temp putty has pscp builtin, yhis command would copy ubuntu files to c:\temp [03:46] lordapex, if you don't mind the command line, mpgtx is a good choice. It lets you edit directly. That is, you don't decode and recode the mp3, so you lose no quality. [03:46] what do u do if it says "time: unknown" just be patient? [03:47] nvm guys it done [03:47] Trampboy931: Yes. It will either start to report an estimated time, or else timeout eventually [03:47] n8tuser: modem > router > hub/switch > 15 client of 8.04 and my 8.10 laptop [03:47] zenabo: pscp -r user@ip-adresss:dir/ . enter the dot is required [03:47] severian: so i can use that command and be able to cut say the first 30secs out of an mp3? ill man page that beast [03:47] mamo[at]work-> are you the admin at your work? for these 15 hosts? [03:48] lordapex, yes. I use it to cut out the commercials at the beginning and ending of podcasts regularly.

[03:49] zenabo: the other direction is about the same [03:49] ok I have adobe flash 10 installed, but i installed some stupid program that is putting gray boxes with player triangles over my flash and messing it up. Does anyone know the name of the program so i can remove it? [03:49] mamo[at]work-> you ought to pay for support, you are getting paid for doing such yes? what do you think? [03:49] bidossessi, apt-file search dhcpd-test doesn't find it, so likely not [03:50] Hello, everyone [03:50] how do you install zlib, gtkglext, and libpng and such? [03:50] n8tuser: im not getting paid at all since i work fo my sister :( [03:51] mamo[at]work-> let me speak to your sister, she ought to be paying you [03:51] it puts the boxes over it then you click the box and it starts the flash, it is like flash block but not. [03:51] keres, I would open synaptic. Search for them and install them if they are found. Most of those, at least, should be there. [03:51] mamo[at]work is she atleast feeding you? [03:51] anybody knows what this means when you open a media file "Could not get/set settings from/on resource" ???? [03:51] it was one of the 3 choices when I initially choose my flash [03:51] bidossessi, a broader search, and grep found libnet-dhcp-perl: /usr/share/doc/libnet-dhcp-perl/examples/dhcpd_test.pl and ltp-network-test: /usr/lib/ltp/tests/linux/testcases/bin/dhcpd_tests.sh [03:51] n8tuser: she at s'pore now visting her father in law === x-ip is now known as xip|sleeping [03:52] mamo[at]work-> singaporean are filthy rich folks, they ought to pay a fair compensation [03:53] TritePseudonym: yes paying me around $330 a month as salary and work as marketing, purchasing, IT? :( [03:53] nickrud, it's a standard root command on opensuse, so i assumed it'd be available. useful for troubleshooting network connectivity issues [03:53] hey #ubuntu, is there like installing ubuntu on a box with an existing copy of windows tutorial?

[03:55] nickrud: i'm just gonna assume that you'rea bot too :D [03:55] bidossessi: im using network manager [03:56] mamo[at]work, is your network configured for roaming? [03:56] did you guys see that hilarious letter that this teacher sent to the founder of the HeliOS foundation? [03:56] or helios project or whatever it is [03:57] I have a question about mail. I downloaded a file from the /var/mail directory that bears the name of the administrator. In it, there are details about several unsent mail messages. It gives instructions on how to list the messages with mailq -E and says several times that the messages can be re-sent with the command sudo unfreezemai []...... I have read through the message thoroughly to find out why the messages weren't sent in [03:57] K_Dallas, Do you live in Dallas, TX [03:57] svchost, yes, definate ignorance [03:57] All I could find was 'permission denied.' [03:57] it was pretty amusing dalekleader.. some people shouldn't be allowed to breed [03:57] how do you install this dependency: "gtk+ >= 2.4.0 (requires glib, atk, pango, iconv, etc)" [03:57] bidossessi: i dont think so i just fresh install 8.10 on this old laptop [03:57] svhost, or at least teach our young === _lifi is now known as lifi [03:58] is it easy to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10?

It is actually Corbain Dallas, you know: multi-pass ;) [03:58] hi agian [03:58] *again [03:58] and now, i don't live in Dallas [03:58] Does anyone get Eclipse with Subclipse working with 8.10 ? [03:58] svchost-> before you upgrade, hang around here for a few days, and see what people complaints are regarding upgrading [03:58] how much HD space does an install of ubuntu use? [03:58] K_Dallas, I was going to invite you to the local UNIX group if you were local. Have a great day [03:58] i have 8.04 and i wanna upgrade to 8.10 but i cant connect to the net with it [03:59] and its got vista on there too. my laptop. [03:59] mamo[at]work, maybe the module for your nic is broken. check if it's been loaded. you said wifi isn't working either? don't you see your hotspots? [03:59] sid, yes, by using eclipse from eclipse.org [03:59] i shared a folder with ubuntu, when accessing from windows get access denied. where to change Login and pass in ubuntu? [03:59] but everyone is saying 8.10 has better broadcom support [03:59] sid: I've got it working. I don't remember how, but it works. [03:59] so i wanted to upgrade and see if my network card actually works [03:59] unlike now [03:59] Severian, I appreciate it the same. Thanks [03:59] bidossessi: yes i have hot spot at the office [03:59] svchost, why can you not connect to the net? [03:59] svchost: i'll tell you in approximatly 45 minutes.

[04:00] svchost-> broadcom ethernet card are supported,, its just the bcm43xx thats being difficult [04:00] svchost, what model? [04:00] i think i have 43xx :-P [04:00] Hmm guess i'll give that a shot, i tried the install via Add/Remove [04:00] TritePseudonym, my Ubuntu takes less than a square inch [04:00] I am having trouble with my USB flash drive. I attempted to create a USB Startup Disk using the provided utility in 8.10 but it seems to have failed. Now when I plug it in Ubuntu will not auto-mount it nor is a device node being created for it in /dev/sd*. I believe that the drive is setup to appear to the system as a cdrom drive and it is not functioning as expected, hence why the kernel does not create a device node for it. In /var/lo [04:00] svchost, dell machine? [04:00] n8tuser: bcm43xx is deprecated, its b43 now [04:00] compaq [04:00] Severian: jjeeeez idk if i can spare the room then [04:00] is songbird in any ubuntu repo? [04:00] bidossessi: to check it?

[04:01] oman i'm getting owned by this bot [04:02] n8tuser: well, the issue is the need for the user to get the firmware separate, which hopefully the guide will tell him about [04:02] it would be very difficult to do that n8tuser [04:02] !selfDestruct [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about selfDestruct [04:02] i wouldnot be able to talk to anyone while i was doing it [04:02] on here [04:02] svchost: then you'll have to do a good old fashioned sneaker net [04:02] well i guess i could actually [04:02] Tristam, ! means not, so I don't know what you want other than hard drive requirement.

[04:16] svchost1, please see my private message [04:16] i have 8.04, does that matter fde? [04:16] but, not the GTK+ THEME [04:16] bidossessi, fde : i so hate my old laptop. not support WPA :( [04:16] scunizi, in aplications/system [04:16] ty [04:17] how do i do that fde? lol [04:17] svchost1: ahh, yes... hold on [04:17] scunizi, applications* [04:17] svchost1: you do that by following what bidossessi said [04:17] sorry, i've never actually used linux before really [04:17] is anyone pro on conky that can help me add a clock into my conky? [04:17] svchost1: or rather what bidossessi told ubottu to tell you [04:17] Trampboy931, basically the same place.. but you might close that and go to System>Admin>synaptic package manager and try there.. you might get an error code that we can use.. [04:17] kk [04:17] im reading now [04:17] scunizi, ok ill try brb [04:17] My nvidia drivers have stopped working on upgrade to Intrepid. They were fine in Hardy. I have tried 173 driver and 93(?) drivers to no avail. On restart it tells me there is an issue with the drivers [04:18] svchost1: you want b43-firmware, the .deb here: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/ [04:18] Any ideas? [04:18] wonder why he packaged fwcutter and bcm43xx stuff though :/ [04:18] If I install Amarok 2.0, it'll replace my existing amarok, right? [04:18] fde, to have it all in one place? :) [04:18] I can't seem to get the 177 drivers for nvidia [04:19] fresh 8.10 install, admin -> hardware drivers just hangs on 'searching for available drivers' [04:19] idk if this is what you're looking for but theres : b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware in the repos [04:19] bidossessi: bcm43xx is deprecated, and b43-fwcutter is in hardy I would think... psst, cafuego you around to clarify? [04:19] scunizi, sunjava or javacc? [04:19] Trampboy931, sunjava [04:19] i applied all updates change synaptic to find fastest rep [04:19] can someone help me with installing flash in opera [04:19] Ned_Flanders7: he is getting the firmware that that extracts [04:20] if it does the same thing I would use the repos [04:20] Me too, which is why I am wondering why cafuego has it packaged in his repo [04:21] mamo[at]work: of course it supports WPA... what version of Ubuntu? [04:21] BCM43xx devices shouls be handled through Jockey in Hardy or later. [04:21] *should [04:21] Trampboy931, since you're so new at this you might enjoy a little reading. the link will allow you to download a pdf book on Ubuntu that you could buy in the store too if you wanted.. good place to start. http://www.scribd.com/doc/8778392/Apressbeginningubuntulinux2ndeditionmar2007 [04:21] mneptok: would jockey get the firmware automatically? [04:22] fde: shouldn't have to. [04:22] mneptok: cuz the wiki points you to packaged firmware [04:22] fde: 8.10 but the things is my hardware doesnt supports it [04:22] fde: System > Admin > Hardware drivers [04:22] mamo[at]work, what chipset do you have there for your wifi card? [04:22] n btw my wired still not working [04:22] mneptok: then it needs to fetch the firmware, trust me [04:22] is there a vim package that I can get that will give me syntax highlighting without getting vim-full [04:22] ? [04:22] fde: try Jockey. [04:23] mneptok: I've only set up about 100 broadcom cards, what do I know? [04:23] hi, i think i've got an error in this command, it give's me not a regular file..scp /media/SEAGATE_NEX/Ma\ musique/Rock/Sparks/1974\ -\ Propaganda/ qcjnserv@192.168.0.102:/media/disk/ [04:23] fde: i only work at Canonical. what do i know? [04:23] scunizi, ok im gonna try that then [04:23] scunizi, umm, sorry to say but, i can decide which 1 to download [04:23] okay, this is weird [04:23] scunizi, there's "docs" and "cores" and all sorts of thins [04:23] * mneptok goes back to paying customers [04:23] things* [04:23] Trampboy931: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:23] hi [04:23] scunizi, omg sorry, i meant i cant* decide [04:23] I have a gray, rounded rectangle in the top left corner of my screen [04:23] hai [04:23] FloodBot3, sorry but, what?

[04:24] #kubuntu [04:24] hai [04:24] qcjn: i dunno if scp will support whitespaces [04:24] mneptok: then take it away with svchost1 [04:24] scunizi, no i didnt, ill look [04:24] wait... that's a speech bubble [04:24] bidossessi: i dunno, its really old laptops [04:24] how do i get flash working in opera? [04:24] probably compiz issues :/ [04:24] cE_LutcHu: halo halo [04:24] qcjn: mv them to a simple dir first [04:24] i still dont get how to edit sources.list.. [04:24] Is anyone hear aware of the ubuntu-vuze update issue? [04:24] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so [04:24] cE_LutcHu: apa kabar? [04:24] its showing up in the plugins [04:24] scunizi, found it! ill take a look [04:25] Trampboy931, do the sun-java-.bin file and it will probably pull in some other things to go along with it. [04:25] svchost1: don't worry about it... is anything displayed in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers about the broadcom? [04:25] svchost1: did you try Jockey? [04:25] bidossessi: its used lucent/agere [04:25] gnutron: hi, to my knowledge, it did before..but it's a good suggestion [04:25] mamo[at]work, you should see it in your shell where you ran lshw -C [04:25] qcjn: try tossing in a wilcard at the end [04:25] svchost1: System > Admin > Hardware drivers [04:25] svchost-> you need to do a tutorial on vim or nano or joe as editors.. [04:25] scunizi, sorry ill be right back, i gotta go eat [04:25] qcjn: or scp -r maybe [04:25] k [04:26] gnutron: i think that' it [04:26] bidossessi: driver=oricono <-- oricono chipset? [04:26] mneptok: what was the broken intel NIC in intrepid... not e1000 but the one with the additional letter... did it ever get fixed? [04:26] xkill isn't working; How do you get the PID of a window? [04:27] fde: i think the 5100 series have issues. dunno what the bug status is. [04:27] coppro, in terminal type top [04:27] ps [04:27] mamo[at]work, oricon != boradcom, or i missed something [04:27] scunizi: that doesn't help [04:27] coppro, or on the task bar (upper or lower) right mouse click and "add" system monitor.. you can kill stuff there. [04:27] is there a firwmare for that? [04:28] I don't know what window it is [04:28] I just want to figure out what the PID is so I can kill -KILL it [04:28] gnutron: that was it ! Thanks ! so thats what it's gonna play, in a couple of minutes [04:28] bidossessi: and i saw this too: 82801DB PRO/ VE (MOB) Ethernet Controler, vendor = intel [04:28] anyone here have a lenovo t61 [04:29] bidossessi: wireless vendro is TOSHIBA [04:29] hi peeps did the hardy repos update the mplayer package?? casue I did several updates and I can't find the packages mplayer and mencoder need [04:29] http://pastebin.ca/1282327 [04:29] gbear14275: Atheros wifi issue? [04:29] coppro, same thing as the last post except add the "Force Quit" appellate.. click that and then the window and it should close [04:29] mamo[at]work, is it a pcmcia card? [04:30] no, microphone issue [04:30] coppro: gnome? [04:30] scunizi: tried xkill [04:30] gnutron: no [04:30] kde [04:30] does it matter? [04:30] coppro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:30] bidossessi: built in [04:30] gbear14275: what's the issue? === Teiseiii is now known as Teisei [04:30] coppro: what kind of 'window'? [04:30] mneptok: don't seem to know how to get it working in ubuntu... issue raised itself when trying to use skype the other night [04:31] coppro: a konsole? [04:31] coppro: the window is on the screen? ctrl+esc should change the mouse curser... then just click the window [04:31] gnutron: a gray bubble that looks like a taskbar message or something, but is stuck in the top-left corner of my screen [04:31] mneptok: should say ubuntu 8.10 [04:31] fde: nope, tried that [04:31] gbear14275: does the mic work in the Sound Recorder app? [04:31] scunizi, ill be back in a while, ima read up and eat dinner [04:31] it apparently isn't sending SIGKILL, which is what I need [04:31] Trampboy931, k.. cya [04:31] nope :-/ [04:31] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/nvidia-glx-new_169.12+2.6.24.13-18.41_i386.deb [04:31] 404 Not Found [04:31] wow, it's gone [04:31] whats up with that? [04:31] weird [04:31] coppro: can you take a screenshot and throw it onto http://imagepaste.com/ ? [04:32] nope [04:32] coppro: i did that, telekinesis [04:32] thanks [04:32] just to be sure, the t61 has a mic located under the fn key right mneptok [04:32] gbear14275: you tell me. it's your laptop ;) [04:32] oh, I think I know... it was adept notifier [04:32] that thing has never worked for me under compiz [04:32] and I just did an apt-get update [04:32] anyone know why im getting a 404 when i try and install these nvidia drivers? [04:32] (btw new adept sucks) [04:33] coppro: compiz does weird stuff [04:33] mneptok: lol, looks like a mic... and thats where this saying has to end [04:33] oh wait, that's synaptic. [04:33] same difference [04:34] mneptok: can you not do separate devices in jockey? apparently he's having to mess with nvidia stuff now, which I suspect is due to no connection on the machine... [04:35] i'm not familiar with the way the device list works in volume control... anyone able to explain why the list is so long and why some devices have labels and others dont? [04:35] mneptok: seems like it'd be difficult to get jockey to do anything useful without network access btw [04:35] gbear14275: Double click on the speaker icons on the right side of the top GNOME panel. Select Edit > Preferences from the menu. Turn every option on. Go to the Recording tab and bring the volume up and make sure that the speaker and microphone icons are not muted (marked by a red "x" if muted). [04:35] svchost1: 404 is http for file not found [04:35] fde: so use wired. [04:35] mneptok: he doesn't have wired [04:35] gbear14275: Go to Applications > Sound and Video > Sound Recorder and test. If the microphone does not function, and other microphone input options are available, alter the input options and see if others may work. [04:35] mneptok: hence getting him to grab it and sneaker net from cafuego's site [04:35] when i type in su [04:36] whats the password supposed to be? [04:36] cuz what i thought it would be, it isnt it [04:36] svchost1: your password [04:36] !sudo | svchost1 [04:36] svchost1: 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, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:36] my password didnt work [04:36] lol [04:36] svchost1: ahh, sudo, not su [04:36] svchost1: the root account is disabled. use sudo [04:36] mneptok: thanks... i'll play around and report back [04:36] gbear14275: # If the microphone is working properly on the system, you may need to change Skype's input options. From Skype's main menu select Options > Sound Devices and alter the preferences. [04:36] sudo what? [04:37] !women [04:37] The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. [04:37] svchost1: read the URL above for more info [04:37] svchost1: so either you get to find a cable for your nic... or its back to what I was telling you, I hope you wrote it down, cuz I'm about to leave [04:37] i am connected on there [04:37] but i still dont know how to edit this file [04:37] so i can get this thing [04:37] svchost1: sudo some command that requires superuser rights [04:37] scunizi, sorry but i dont know what to open adobe flash player download with, can you help? [04:37] !enter | svchost1 [04:37] svchost1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:37] svchost1 as in sodi nano /path/file [04:38] sources.list.. i dont know how to edit that, it says i need to [04:38] sudo [04:38] svchost1: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:38] how do i get flash working in opera and how can i get bookmark titlebar? [04:38] fde, can't that be done graphically? [04:38] svchost1: sudo /etc/apt/sources.list ...backup first [04:38] svchost1 do you have gui or cli only [04:38] svchost1: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ...backup first [04:38] excellent [04:38] why backup? [04:39] if i mess it up i'll just wipe it and redo it :-P [04:39] scunizi are you there? [04:39] bidossessi: what do you mean? it'd be nice if you could right click > run as superuser or something, but I don't think its there yet in the menu [04:39] svchost1: insurance [04:39] bidossessi: i guess i should back to 8.04 for this laptop [04:39] svchost?? wipe it? there's a lot of stuff already there [04:39] Trampboy931, fast dinner [04:39] greetings all. [04:40] scunizi, lol yeah [04:40] fde, i mean, add repos from a gui (makes it safer for the new-user, less prone to go sudo vi /etc/fstab for instance) [04:40] bidossessi: yes, you can, and you pointed him at how... but apparently he's ignoring it [04:40] i got an error [04:41] something about no public key.. [04:41] svchost1: just say yes, and/or ignore it [04:41] scunizi, so what do use to open the flash downloader with? [04:41] hey [04:41] svchost1, you can relatively safely ignore that error [04:41] Trampboy931: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [04:42] Trampboy931, the little box on the left of the file name.. click that and choose install.. when done at the top of the box is "Apply" [04:42] fde, tried that one today, and it didn't work. had to use the deb from the adobe webpage [04:43] i still dont see the network card [04:43] scunizi, ack i dont c anything like that im confuzzled [04:43] same here T.T [04:43] don't you sometimes wish you had a plane handy? lol [04:44] do i need to reboot to see this stuff? [04:44] Hello, everyone. I need some help creating a "symbolic link," I was told. I have a laptop running Ubuntu, no internal optical drive. I have an external USB DVD reader. When I try to watch a homemade disc in under Xine, it tells me it can't find any device. I was told a symbolic link will fix this. But when I look, the DVD reader is showing up under cdrom0. Is this part of the problem, or can it be worked around? [04:44] fde , bidossessi : i guess im back to my old 8.04 [04:44] Hi All, I have Ubuntu and Windows both installed on my hard drive on seperate partitions. I installed Linux then Windows, I am not getting GRUB come up. Do I need to reinstall it? [04:44] Formode: yes [04:44] im gonna try rebooting i guess [04:44] see if anything happens [04:44] windows will overwrite GRUB with its own bootloader [04:44] coppro, Do you know how I would? [04:45] mamo[at]work, it seems counter_intuitive. did your laptop connections use to work using hardy? [04:45] Trampboy931, did you do the install already? === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [04:45] Formode: hmm... I believe you make a live CD, chroot into your Linux installation, and run grub-install [04:45] scunizi, no, i dont know what do to T.T [04:45] oops [04:45] Trampboy931, ok.. is Synaptic still open? [04:46] scunizi, yars [04:46] bidossessi: yes its wired works okay on 8.04, but not the wireless but its okay for me wireless ^^ [04:46] coppro, I have read that doing so would overwrite my Master Boot Record, which may bother windows, is that true? [04:46] Trampboy931, find sun-java-.bin and to the left of the file name is a box.. put a check mark in it [04:46] !grub | Formode [04:46] Formode: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:47] Formode: you may have to modify your boot configuration for GRUB, but other than that, you should be fine [04:47] guess the update breaks your wired, then. you should report it to the bugs-muncher ubuntu uses [04:47] eseven73, Thank you so much [04:47] np [04:47] if it hasn't been done already [04:48] bidossessi: I'd be willing to bet she uses the intel card that is blacklisted due to causes physical damage to cards, but didn't read the release notes to know not to upgrade [04:48] luckyly [04:48] scunizi, i found sun-java6-bin [04:48] that wrok?

[04:50] au contraire tritium you've done a bit of it yourself, metaphorically [04:50] mneptok: hmm... ok I've gotten limited success... I managed to get the sounds to work... although I don't really know why or how my settings affect that... and skype can work with the left speaker only [04:50] bidossessi: i did [04:50] tritium: speak for yourself, I regularly have a bloody forehead from headbutting things... hah [04:50] bidossessi: I tried, but failed [04:50] bidossessi: my office using ubuntu 8.04 [04:50] mneptok: although if i set the ring out to one device and the sound out to another... the test sound will come out both speakers [04:51] i'd love to compare notes (i have opensuse running successfully on a few desktops at work with ldap at the back.) maybe there's a blog out there === oatmeal is now known as wendal [04:51] !ot [04:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

What is meant by 'directory browser'?

[05:02] eseven73: yes [05:02] Does anyone log on using a smartcard? [05:03] heh #ubunto has more users than #linux [05:03] svchost1, wow, and it made your monitor invisible. [05:03] ubunto* [05:03] thanks onetinsoldier [05:03] ubuntu [05:03] ha, no.. it doesnt show up on the display. i dont know how to word it.. [05:03] nexus23: yw [05:03] you know what i mean [05:03] onetinsoldier, nexus23: there's no need to sudo that command [05:03] bjl-: ok cause also there's a JRE 6 plugin too, and fonts, etc [05:03] i didnt [05:03] the screen is just black.. nothing on it.. thats the gist of this whole thing.. [05:03] nexus23: the 'man dpkg' command will tel you more [05:03] when I provide init=/bin/bash on my boot command line it doesn't drop me to a shell is there another option I need to add to that? [05:03] eseven73: unny thing is, it happens even if I /don't/ have the plugins installed [05:03] anyone help me with my sound problem? using alsa its an old onboard soundcard, sound from flash movies in firefox works PERFECTLY! .. any other sounds including ubuntu startup sound ive found so far make terrible speaker damaging noises when trying to play set audio media, any help guys? [05:03] svchost1, can you do a Ctrl-Alt-F2? Do you know what that means? [05:04] does anyone know how to get flash working for opera 9.6 [05:04] jrib: oh, roger [05:04] what will that do severian? [05:04] bjl-: what i did was in synaptic, i just installed everything that said "JRE 6 blah blah" and it fixed it for me :) [05:04] have you tried using Opera to see if the java works on that bjl- ? [05:04] svchost1, That will take you to a text login. There, you can login and look at the log files. [05:05] nexus23, I've never gotten flash to work with Opera... I use firefox [05:05] i cant take firefox anymore [05:05] * _dUdU retornou -=- motivo: TO não - so mais tarde ;D [05:05] hrm, I'll try tha [05:05] svchost1, That is called a virtual terminal. [05:05] me either nexus23 , Opera for me [05:05] blah.. forget it. linux isnt worth all this trouble.. [05:05] If I could get Opera to use flash I'd use Opera... [05:05] have you gotten flash working eseven73 ? [05:05] svchost1: it certainly is [05:06] hey guys.. anyone using kubuntu 8.10 know how to set console default size upon open? [05:06] svchost1, Linux is generally easier than BSD, but use what works [05:06] djuhl35: what version of opera did you try? the one in the repos does NOT work good (flash broke) [05:06] eklypze¬ #kubuntu maybe of better help ;) [05:06] nah, windows is better anyways.. i was only going to use linux because its more secure. but if i have to spend 40 hours just to get it to work, its definately not worth it [05:06] oh, sorry xD [05:06] you want the Opera .deb file from opera's site, it has working flash [05:06] It was a relatively recent one... 9.6 I think [05:06] svchost1: since you mentioned nvidia, did you follow instructions on the wiki? [05:06] svchost, where did you get the nvidia drivers from .. nvidia's site? [05:07] eklypze¬ ill forgive you this one time... but if it happens again... i want a kidney. [05:07] no, i went into the device drivers thingy [05:07] :) [05:07] i did eseven73 [05:07] still not working [05:07] svchost1, windows is not better than anything I can think of. But, good luck. [05:07] 10 apparently has alot of problems [05:07] there was an nvidia drivers thing.. i checked it.. and rebooted and now nothing [05:07] windows works, which is more than i can say for linux [05:07] Now I am interested in smart cards... But have no clue where to get the cards or how to set anything up... Google has too many hits to find a starting point [05:07] Opera 9.62 is what you want djuhl35 [05:07] would anyone help me with glx, etc. base install... glxinfo | grep direct = yes. but can't enable desktop effexts [05:07] jack_Sparrow, thank you. i did that. now i'm not getting the error msg in the terminal. [05:07] you know how much trouble i had building my desktop with windows? 0... [05:08] heya, my little switch user icon in the top right corner, used to be a circle, now it's always a red triangle, any ideas why? [05:08] eseven73, and flash 10 will work? [05:08] yep [05:08] svchost1: do yo have a support question? Otherwise, you're offtopic. [05:08] svchost1, Actually Linux works much better than Windows. You may have a problem, but it sounds like it is the hardware you have. [05:08] svchost1: if you want support, ask a support question. If you want to complain, please take it elsewhere. Yes, not everything works. That's why channels like this exist. And that's why the bug tracker exists [05:08] blame my hardware.. [05:08] Jack_Sparrow, i still get this msg when installing progs in synaptic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/83848/ any advices? [05:08] svchost1, that's because most drivers are built for windows.. manufacturers are just now opening things up to make it easier on other systems.. [05:09] eseven73, I'll give it another try [05:09] svchost1, windows discussion in ##windows [05:09] svchost1¬ linux works for free :P [05:09] * vanberge wants support... :-( [05:09] so you say that encryption can make use of 64-bits better, but has linux's built in encryption algorithms been optimized for 64-bit systems? [05:09] cheer up vanberge! [05:09] TritePseudonym, i would like to but i am 3 hours down to this! [05:10] you know what i do to install a driver in windows? i click on an executable file and follow a simple and painless gui, then it works.. linux drivers are all kinds of command line bs, editing stuff with admin priveleges thru the terminal and all kinds of other bs. they ought to wrap all that stuff up in gui's and make it painfully easy to do [05:10] Hi, I'm trying to convert to Ubuntu from Vista on a laptop and can't seem to figure out how to connect to my home network/ [05:10] Hello everyone....I'm having trouble understanding enough about samba to get my Windows XP Pro machines talking to my Ubuntu 8.10 machine [05:10] <|{urse> svchost1 perhaps you should go back to windows since its so idiot proof [05:10] svchost1: there is no cli for installing drivers. You click on the restricted drivers gui, and you're done. [05:10] svchost1¬ im running ubuntu on pc's ranging from p1 166's to 3gig quad cores.. so its doable im sure whatever it is your tryin to do [05:10] eseven73, can you make a bookmark title bar in opera like in firefox, its kind of irritating to have to open several new windows everytime [05:10] eseven73, my internet really sucks it will take 6 mins to download 8M [05:10] painless easy GUI is BORING...zzzzzzzzz [05:10] does anyone else have a triangle instead of a circle :( [05:11] Meshezabeel: eh? [05:11] svchost it isn't true anymore... most drivers are menu supported under ubuntu... and most are working out of the box ;). Bu thats a support channel, complain elsewhere [05:11] so how about this [05:11] friendofyhwh, tell me more. Which machine is the server? [05:11] ill let somebody remote connect to me via linux [05:11] nnull, he's just got a black x screen after installing the nvidia drivers provided.

[05:11] jrib: in the top right corner of 8.10 I have a triangle, it used to always be a circle [05:11] apt-get keeps on complaining about missing keys... How do I know what keys to get and how do I install them? [05:11] svchost1: no. ask a support question or move the discussion elsewhere [05:11] <|{urse> how about you learn how to do it yourself and argue with yourself about it later? [05:11] how do i get flash eseven73 ? [05:11] svchost1¬ can i come around your house and do the dishes for you too? :) [05:11] i installed 9.6 from the deb [05:12] Meshezabeel for what is the symbol?

Maybe a screenshot might make it easier for others to help you [05:12] svchost1¬ lol.. [05:12] please take chat elsewhere [05:12] svchost1, then stay with your M$ and let it tell you how you can use your box, let M$ tell you you are secure while you pay someone else to protect you, and they cant, so listen to jrib and leave or get help to make this work [05:12] abchirk, jrib, it is the "Switch users or shut down" symbol [05:12] * |{urse looks @ the flamebait and urges everyone to ignore it [05:12] is it normal for my xorg.conf to not show a 'driver' line under my video device ?

There probably are no passwords, but that is to be safe.

I understand the boot process fairly well, and setting up dual boot and such. What you describe does not make sense. I am not saying you are ignorant. I am saying there is a communications problem with getting your goals defined to me. [05:38] Formode1, you might need to reinstall grub.. have you tried that already?

[05:40] My webcam works better on ubuntu but I want my sound to be fixed [05:40] Racoon1, we are troubleshooting the issue. [05:40] scunizi, Ubuntu was on there first, I just installed windows this morning, Ubuntu's been around for about 2 months. [05:40] C-Media USB Headphone set [05:40] nexus23: no sorry, any luck on that flash ? [05:41] Racoon1, by accessing the live cd we can pinpoint the trouble spot [05:41] yea eseven73 i got youtube working [05:41] Racoon1: is there a reason you do not want to use a live cd? [05:41] Formode1, typically windows likes to be first but there might be hope.. the tutorial you used, was it from the bot in this channel? [05:41] no dice on daily show though [05:41] almark, That seems true. I don't know if you are trying to reformulate your question or not. I can't help you with what you have said up until now. [05:41] I dont have one? [05:41] Racoon1, wubi is not a long term usage solution, more like a demo. [05:41] Severian...I copied the last few lines into my current smb.conf, but XP still can't see anything...did you change something else near the top? [05:41] anyone help me with my sound problem? using alsa its an old onboard soundcard, sound from flash movies in firefox works PERFECTLY! .. any other sounds including ubuntu startup sound ive found so far make terrible speaker damaging noises when trying to play divx mp3 ogg etc audio media, any help guys? [05:42] 30 [05:42] :Severian sorry for the confusion lol [05:42] Racoon1: you ever used bittorrent? you can get one especially fast using that, OR... just download and burn one [05:42] My Webcam functions better under ubuntu and I dont want to get rid of my WIndows XP which is why I installed "Wubi" [05:42] I installed both OS's just through my own workings, I did the grub restart as per the ubottu's instructions. scunizi. [05:42] friendofyhwh, I only added at the bottom. There may be more needed, though. What workgroup are you using on your XP machine? [05:42] Racoon1: or if you order one they can ship you one for free === nick|here is now known as nick|away [05:42] tries to answer his own questions lol [05:42] Formode1, can you pastbin what's in /boot/grub/menu.list ? [05:42] Racoon1, you can easily dual boot, that is a different topic however [05:42] scunizi, Yes. :) [05:42] Severian...JCARTES...ah...have not fixed that as yet... [05:43] Racoon1: I dualboot both XP and Ubuntu as I did not want to get rid of XP either at first [05:43] Racoon1: its very easy to install a dual boot [05:43] friendofyhwh, So, you see where near the top of smb.conf you need to change that. After tose changes, you need to restart the samba service. [05:43] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6a7cde7 scunizi [05:44] jrib: you still around? [05:44] friendofyhwh, tose -> those [05:44] Im wasting my time using Ubuntu for crying aloud [05:44] :Severian I should have made myself clearer, what I have done is when i installed Ubuntu I didn't want it to install its own grub, I have Gentoo I wanted Gentoo's grub to remain on my MBR I'll type more after a few ppl talk so I don't hog everything. [05:44] Racoon1, Ubuntu is not good for crying aloud. I suggest Windows for that. [05:44] how do u like gentoo? [05:44] Severian: trying to configure a mac works too [05:45] My webcam is way faster on Ubuntu [05:45] !offtopic | corey [05:45] corey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:45] Severian...how to restart samba service? [05:45] And I wanted a specific software for my webcam which runs under only linux [05:45] I like it, but.... you know if you use it. Its a real pain to get things working even in 3 days it takes some real understanding to find out how to make certain things compile the way you want them to. [05:45] easily... [05:46] friendofyhwh, rebooting the system would work. There is a command line way, but if you don't do it often, just reboot. [05:46] Alright well I guess ill come back tomorrow [05:46] to try and get this resolved [05:46] friendofyhwh: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart [05:46] please take gentoo chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:46] Ill try Kubuntu as well [05:46] Bye [05:46] Racoon1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === wangbf is now known as ix8100 [05:46] Formode1, ok.. I think I see the problem.. the "root" line in the menu.lst shows windows as (hd0,0).. if it was the second OS installed and the partition used was more toward the end of the drive then the 0,0 reference is incorrect. [05:46] ii [05:47] tritium, that will work for friendofyhwh I just was not sure if he wanted that method. [05:47] anyone help me with my sound problem? using alsa its an old onboard soundcard, sound from flash movies in firefox works PERFECTLY! .. any other sounds including ubuntu startup sound ive found so far make terrible speaker damaging noises when trying to play divx mp3 ogg etc audio media, any help guys? [05:47] scunizi, Oh. Ok. how would I find out which is correct? [05:47] Severian: ok [05:47] lol, we should have pointed racoon1 to the debian people... they usually are MUCH more tolerant of his type ;) [05:48] :Severian So because Gentoo's grub is installed in my MBR Ubuntu didn't get the chance to use its own, all Ubuntu did was copy the files for kernel and others to my /boot folder, I then well thats not important. So I had to manually insert the Ubuntu kernel name in the menu.lst in my boot folder. And that is why I'm confused about the files within boot that were installed by Ubuntu. more later [05:48] jrib: if you are still about, that helped give my drive a label... but didn't help with the mount point [05:48] Formode1, as you count the partitions, the first is Ubuntu (maybe), then /swap, then windows.. so the correct reference might be (hd0,2) ... that references the 3rd partition [05:49] Severian...tried that in my terminal window but it says unknown initscript [05:49] Formode1, 0=1st partition [05:49] gbear14275: the mount point is chosen using the label, unmount and remount [05:49] almark, So, are the Ubuntu and Gentoo in different partitions? I assume so. [05:49] :Severian Yes they are [05:49] scunizi, Hm. Ok. I think it would be 0,1, then. [05:49] friendofyhwh, Maybe you don't have samba installed. Check in Synaptic and see if samba is installed. [05:50] :Severian I had alot to say and more I have to tell you soon [05:50] ok [05:50] Formode1, 0,1 would be the first drive second partition === CuriosCat is now known as CuriosTiger [05:50] scunizi, Thank you, I will try that now [05:50] Formode1, why did you install on a seperate partition? for gaming? if not for gaming vbox might be a solution [05:50] jrib: was never mounted when i set the label but its still giving me the same error [05:51] :Severian due this me having to type the Ubuntu kernel in my Gentoo grub menu.lst All i did was append the names as usual so when I boot up my computer I see Gentoo and others Gentoo kernels in the grub list and ubuntu and xp. More soon [05:51] scunizi, I installed it for UT3 and Photoshop/Lightroom/Illustrator [05:51] gbear14275: what label did you set? [05:51] almark, What I usually recomment is called chain loading. You setup each bootable partition with its own grub. The MBR has options for each OS you want to boot It is called chain loading because you will be going from the MBR grub to the partition's grub. [05:52] eseven73, do things load really slow in opera for you? [05:52] Formode1, ah.. oh.. usually ut has a native installer for linux.. [05:52] /media/disk-3 [05:52] scunizi UT3 has not got one yet and I've had the box over a year, so I gave up on waiting [05:52] scunizi, Thank you for your help. :) If I do not return it worked! :D [05:52] gbear14275: huh? no, choose a name for it like "gbears_usb" or something [05:52] :Severian I assumed sorry for taking your word but. I didn't know you could chainload other os's besides windows how would I go about doing that? [05:52] Formode1, no problem.. if it doesn't work play with the second number [05:53] im using 1280x768 whats next display up i have 15" laptop [05:53] jrib: its not a usb drive, its an internal partition and mostly for now was just trying to get it to work right ;) I'll worry about a better name after it works ;) [05:53] almark, look at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/chainloading-other-linux-399108/?s=385782c86c89b5fd94df0191ad6e789d [05:53] i have 256mb nvidia video card [05:54] jrib: I think editing my fstab is going to be the only way but am not too keen on doing that [05:54] nexus23: some sites can be a bit slow, but mostly opera is very fast compared to firefox [05:54] gbear14275: whatever, the point is your label should not have a '/' in it [05:54] kaiser10123, that might be close to the native resolution of your monitor. [05:54] i need to import my firefox passwords to opera [05:54] is there a way? [05:54] hello [05:54] almark, I'll see if I can find you a pointer that is clearer. My system that chainloads Ubuntu from Fedora 10 is down at the moent. [05:55] How do I install the cube atlantis plug-in? [05:55] scunizi: i cant force better i want more space on desktop [05:55] is anyone know about lynx on solaris [05:55] jrib: OH!... ok i'll try that then... [05:55] simon_: you're in #ubuntu [05:55] :Severian thanks. But I do have another question about Ubuntu Studio when it installed to my /boot all the files that was cp to it, If I had the chain loading setup on each grub dir in different partitions would It automatically setup my menu.lst in Ubuntu like it should? [05:55] ok [05:55] Severian...you were right...installed and the initscript is now working...will test some more...hang on... [05:55] anyone help me with my sound problem? using alsa its an old onboard soundcard, sound from flash movies in firefox works PERFECTLY! .. any other sounds including ubuntu startup sound ive found so far make terrible speaker damaging noises when trying to play divx mp3 ogg etc audio media, any idea's guys? [05:56] kaiser10123, you can try.. System>Preferences>resolution and see what the options are that are available. [05:56] scunizi: options not there? [05:56] jrib: still no luck with the name containing no /'s [05:56] kaiser10123, then until you can populate that list.. you're stuck.. check docs or google for xrandr for adjustment [05:57] i am trying to setup one big desktop across four monitors using two FireGL V3600 video cards. If anyone has any experience with this, please shoot me a msg [05:57] My applications menu doesn't open when clicked on. Places and System work just fine. Any ideas? [05:57] :Severian And I hope I made myself clearer for all [05:57] gbear14275: provide details [05:57] :Severian Just had to explain all of it. [05:57] * danielbw is desparate [05:57] I had a message saying there was something wrong with my profile and I couldn't log on, but that disappeared after a reboot. [05:57] almark, The menu.lst on the grub that is pointed to from the MBR would run first. So, in your case that points to Gentoo. You'll have an option there to run Ubuntu. When you choose it, you get taken to the menu.lst of the ubuntu system. [05:57] Can anyone help me? [05:57] :Severian would you like to see mine?

I am looking at the file. [06:11] aves: I should have been more descriptive. It's there. I just get a small blank rectangle when I click on it.

Applications doesn't really open when I click on it. [06:13] aeolien: have you tried right clicking on Applications -> Edit Menus? [06:13] aves: It's highlighted as if it's open, and there's a small rectangle from it when I click on it. I presume that's an empty menu. [06:13] aves: Edit Menus doesn't open the Menu Editor. [06:13] aves: Nothing happens when I open it. [06:13] aves: I'll try restarting gnome-panel [06:14] aeolien, try to make right click on the panel, chose "add stuff" or wathever and check if it has a menu option.

[06:15] one: i have an acer laptop with intel GMA 950 graphics chipset. everything works neat, desktop effects etc, but when i start a game like openarena or quake 3 arena, the screen gets garbled in max half a minute. it still runs, just screwed up textures. what's wrong? [06:15] :Severian I like my menu.lst organized. [06:16] i run intrepid 8:10 [06:16] how big should 1 tb drive look in the os ? [06:16] 932 gb or ? [06:17] sounds about right [06:17] aeolien: http://pastebin.com/m53dd95f5 (replace username in highlighted line =P), tell me if this works [06:17] friendofyhwh, add a line to your smb.conf near the top. replace linux with the machine name you want, and make it like netbios name = linux [06:17] is there a plugin for youtube sound - audio works fine but can hear youtube audio [06:17] "turns into a potato" [06:17] cant [06:17] Hi everyone. I'm trying to lock my desktop settings (menu, wallpaper, icons, etc.) but I don't know how. I have installed Pessulus but I think it wasn't meant for this purpose. Is there a way to accomplish this task??? [06:17] gbear14275: and check gconf-editor for anything in /system/storage/volumes [06:18] Yossarinaus: Have you tried turning off desktop effects when playing said games? [06:18] tytycoon, completely turn em off? [06:18] i have them customized :( [06:18] how do you view background images in opera? [06:19] :yagga I can't get my youtube.com sound to work either and all other sound works. [06:19] aves: Sweet! I've lost my customization, but that's nothing compared to this! [06:19] aves: Thanks! [06:19] aves: I'll log out and in again to see if it 'takes' [06:19] aeolien: that's good to hear =), you're welcome [06:19] aeolien: okay =P [06:20] Yossarianus, just change your settings to none in system>preferences>appearance.. it won't loose your customizations just turn them off until you turn them back on again. [06:20] jrib: works under new user [06:20] scunizi: weird thing is i have formatted the disk with ext3 but i only get 917 [06:20] okies, a sec and i'll try [06:20] gbear14275: ok so under old user, check that gconf key [06:20] Yossarianus You used Compizconfig Settings manager? Cause you can save the profiles in it [06:21] oh i didn't know [06:21] ok :D [06:21] zykes-, not sure but 10% reduction might be within limits for overhead.. there is also some reserved space for ... arg.. I can't remember [06:21] Yossarianus just goto Preferances [06:21] "bakes the potato he tuned into" [06:21] jrib: there is one entry with a mount point of /media... how do i delete it? [06:21] jrib: or do I not want to? [06:22] gbear14275: sure, delete it, just click around until you figure out how (not sure) [06:22] jrib: SUCCESS! thanks for the help! [06:22] !yay | gbear14275 [06:22] gbear14275: Glad you made it! :-) [06:22] gbear14275: no problem [06:23] so anyone know how to fix the sound in intrepid, its pulseaudio causing the problem [06:23] How do I stop the stupid auto network from creating new network entries? It keeps assigning a random IP even though I have set up a fixed IP on a custom network entry. [06:23] Severian...added the line "netbios name = ShoeBoxPC" in the "Global" section...right after the workgroup = JCARTES... and restarted the samba server...but still can't see the ShoeBoxPC on the ShoeBoxPC [06:23] Smegzor: new network entries? [06:23] gnutron: what exactly is the problem? [06:24] Severian...or for that matter....the machine name of Rachel...which is the XP box [06:24] aves: That's it! Thanks! [06:24] almark: got my googlfu on and found that i needed to install flash plugin non=free [06:24] friendofyhwh, Are you saying you want to see the Linux machine while browsing the network from the Linux machine? [06:24] aeolien: i'm glad it stayed! =) [06:24] my intrepid upgrade went fine but sound is dead, i did manage to get a sqwealing noise but thats all [06:24] yes...and the other one tooo [06:24] Gnea: yeah. In the Wired Networks panel I had 4 auto eth0 entries because they are auto created randomly. [06:25] googling says pulseaudio in intrepid is totally whacked [06:25] gnutron: the only thing I can suggest is to try killing pulseaudio, but other than that, I don't know [06:25] friendofyhwh, did you restart samba after making the change to the smb.conf file. You just about always have to do that. [06:25] "yagga thats all huh, what is the apt-get install (flash plugin non=free? [06:25] yes [06:25] ok openarena seems to run ok but i can't even run quake 3 [06:25] blank screen [06:25] "yagga I like that googlfu lol [06:25] Hi [06:25] gnutron: try following this [06:25] gnutron: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973637 [06:26] aves: tried that, tried pulse's site, tried adding myself to the pulse groups, nothing [06:26] "yagga hands the bakes potato that he was turned into. [06:26] aves: ok [06:26] I've just installed 8.10, kde 4.1. What config directory can I delete so that I have a completely default kde desktop? [06:26] With the default panel and widgets. [06:27] almark: not my term [06:27] "yagga sorry I don't know what you mean? [06:27] np [06:27] So is there no way to permanently delete the auto eth0 network entries? I liked the old way better where I manually configured the network and thats how it stayed. [06:28] whois friendofyhwh [06:28] almark, can you tell me more about the partition layout. What is on the first partition of hda? [06:28] bump! completely black screen when running quake3! [06:28] COnnOR....my real name is Arthur...

[06:29] Smegzor, or i could be blind, hehe :) [06:29] nevermind,rebooted and it starts :D [06:30] yossarinanus: do you have the texturing problems still? [06:30] Hey, does anyone know why programs "hog" the audio in hardy? Is this a problem with pulseaudio? [06:30] not so far :D [06:30] interesting [06:30] it never occured that it might be conflictive [06:30] aves i don't know why but it happens to me too [06:30] aves, skype right? it's skype's fault.. it uses oss for sound [06:30] And by "hog", I mean if a program is running with audio, another program may not be allowed to have audio simultaneously [06:31] so any way to keep the neat desktop effects and still be able to run games? [06:31] scunizi: not skype, Stepmania 4 and Firefox refuse to share the sound =\ [06:31] :Severian (sda1 Boot Primary lInux ext2 size 403.04 (sda2 Primary linux swap 699.15 sda3 Primary linux 12000 gb Gentoo and sda5 logical Linux 15002.92 Ubuntu [06:31] or is it just my video card that's antique?

Intrepid seems better, but I have not tested that much. [06:31] Yossarianus: It doesn't work well with renders [06:32] Severian: Should I try uninstalling and changing default to ALSA? [06:32] anf idea why I can chat, but not be able to access URLs through Firefox? [06:33] ok, good ight, gotta sleep,ciao [06:33] i see [06:33] thanks :D [06:34] Severian...any ideas how to get my ShoeBoxPC to see itself? [06:35] darryl_: what happens when you try to access a web page? [06:35] another thing i wanted to ask: every time i use the mouse scroll in Krusader it closes [06:36] :Severian your pretty busy do you have a url I could read at this time? [06:36] but only if there's nowhere to scroll. if there is, it scrolls :) [06:36] aves: that made a big big difference, many profuse thanks man [06:36] aves, my modem redircets me to my ISPs authentifcation page, and that failss. [06:37] gnutron: no problem =) [06:37] almark, my best reference on chainloading are on the machine that is put away for a bit. I am looking for some good ones now. [06:37] almark, thank you for being patient. [06:37] :Severian ok thanks just didn't want to put more on your shoulders [06:37] np [06:37] darryl_: strange, and chat works, right? [06:38] darryl_: have you tried reconfiguring your modem/router? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:38] aves, we're talking! :) Same modem, same box. [06:39] almark, the grub manual is at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html [06:39] السم عليكم [06:39] aves, I spent two hours on thet phone with my PSP tech support folks, they're sending me a new modem. [06:40] :Severian man those chainloader commands are really confusing don't you think and thanks for your help :) [06:40] darryl_: good luck with that, because I don't really know what the problem is, sorry! [06:40] almark, What you need is something like root (hd0,5) followed by chainloader +1 [06:40] :Severian and does that mean that all the linux distos have their own /boot? [06:40] almark, that is the two lines you want in your main menu.lst. [06:41] almark. It does not have to be that way, but I find it less confusing. I try to keep the filesystem separate, except for shared samba drives or somesuch. [06:41] aves, roger on that! Nobody else knows the problem either! Thanks for the reply. [06:42] I can't for the life of me get kamefu to properly launch my emulators with arguments. Command lines that work in a terminal dont seem to work when I try to put them into kamefu. what's going on? [06:43] :Severian I have one more question are you up for it? [06:43] jhambo, what is the command line response? [06:44] aves: i had to tweak some volume settings, bass/treble, but sound is nearly sweet again, total hardy to intrepid went perfect otherwise, thanks a million [06:44] friendofyhwh, I guess not. I just checked and my samba shares don't show up when I browse the network looking for the shares on that computer. I have never wanted to do such a thing, so I never noticed. [06:44] almark, Sure, go ahead. [06:45] gnutron: that's good to hear, I'm glad everything is working out again =) [06:45] bump! [06:45] :Severian what can I do about Blender just about the new versions always crashing linux and my computer when I use the rotate of the 3d objects, it just crashes I can't do anything but move the mouse around I have push the pwr button in [06:46] :Severian And my card is a Ati radeon 8500 [06:46] Severian...ok then, let's address how to see my XP machine "Rachel" on the ShoeBoxPC "intrepid" [06:46] almark, I can't say. I have wanted to try Blender, but never have. You may not have a stable version. But, I really don't know. [06:46] darryl_: it works fine on the command line and launches my game. When I put that same command into the field in kamefu configuration, my game doesn't launch. [06:47] aves: no flash issues either, flash sound and amarok or whatever play at the same time, you rock [06:47] friendofyhwh, Is intrepid the windows machine? [06:47] :Severian I know for a fact all versions work in windows, but that not important. [06:47] gnutron: awesome =D [06:47] no...the machine named "ShoeBoxPC" is the one running Ubuntu 8.10 or aka intrepid... [06:47] jhambo, ok, I am not familiar with kamfu, but my guess is kamfu doesn't have the same permission you do? [06:48] #linuxac [06:48] :Severian you should try Blender its great the most amazing CG can be made with it. [06:48] aves: awesome is an understatement :) [06:48] where is the xorg.conf file found ? [06:48] almark, thanks. Do you know any good tutorials to get started. [06:48] outboard: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:49] So, I want to use a regular metacity window theme with compiz but an emerald theme continues to be applied despite having uninstalled emerald, disabled emerald in my compiz script, and removed libemeraldengine0. Does anyone know what my problem might be? Google has not been helpful. [06:49] darryl_: how do I check that? [06:49] outboard: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:49] gnutron: haha [06:49] Kelen^Fox thank you [06:49] I am having a problem with Blender lets say all the new versions to work with my ati card in linux it just crashes the computer hard what can I do? [06:50] jhambo, are you familiar with permissions, groups, etc...? [06:50] :Severian go to blender.org for the tutorial is is hugh I mean hugh, and try blendernation.org or com blenderunderground.com blendernewbies.com [06:50] hi all [06:50] friendofyhwh, Just waiting a bit may help. I don't have a windows machine to test with. In the past, when I did, it sometimes took an hour for share to show up. It has something to do with windows master browser setting, but I did not investigate. === mib_zn4bo116 is now known as Flashdance [06:51] almark, I saved those names and I will look at them. Thank you. [06:51] :Severian go to blender.org gnome.com or look for that lots of video tuts, there is so much stuff on it you can't miss it. Gimp is harder to find help though [06:51] Severian...ok...thanks so much for your help...take care.. [06:51] :Severian welcome, I just hope you can find them just google them prob work ;) [06:51] anyone know how I can allow local lan access on ciscos vpn client? [06:52] Why does my ati card freez my computer with its DRI working when I use Blender if anyone knows the answer it will be greatly appreciated [06:53] almark, do you have effects running? like compiz.. turn them off as a test [06:53] I'm using blender versions 2.46 and 2.48 with Ubuntu 8.10 and a ati radeon 8500 [06:54] #dot [06:54] darryl_: how do I check if "kamefu has the same permission i do"? [06:54] scunizi thanks for the answer, I dont think so but glxgears work [06:54] scunizi I don't have compiz atm I will later prob [06:54] jhambo, are you familiar with permissions, groups, etc...? [06:55] sudo apt-get remove nginx doesn't work on a fresh install with basically nothing else [06:55] darryl_ not an expert but I can do a chmod u+x on a script... [06:55] almark, sorry I'm out of ideas. maybe a larger swap file? or low memory problem... processor old? [06:55] scunizi It does this in Gentoo too so I know its my ati card or the fast that xfree is to new for my card, and the computer just freezes hard, I have to press the pwr button in just to hard boot the thing [06:55] can anyone tell me how to run 2 separate instances of xchat at the same time with different settings? 2 separate "profiles" if you will? [06:56] E:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code [06:56] (1) [06:56] scunizi its the DRI module that does it, If I disable it in Gentoo it works but slower and no problems, I have a P4 3ghz runnning ram 1gb [06:56] rookeeeeeeeee: why you need that? and also search it at google. there is no need to reinvent the wheel [06:56] jhambo, ok, so you can use ls -al, compare the permissions between the two files, or, in a browser, right click the file. [06:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/138333 [06:57] basically this bug [06:57] almark, not having used ati, I'm at a loss .. 1gb might be low depending on the graphic. [06:57] rookeeeeeeeee, txchat has a -d parameter that allows you to specify a config directory. That should do it. [06:57] darryl_: sorry, which two files? [06:57] rookeeeeeeeee, that was xchat, not txchat. [06:58] but I have hardy and the bug is not fixed [06:58] Severian, could you elaborate please, that doesnt give me enough information [06:58] jhambo, the file name you enter in the terminal. [06:58] anyone help me with sound problem? flash movie sound works perfectly, divx/mp3/startup sound are all distorted and choppy, raising the PCM when playing any of these makes sounds like the speakers will pop [06:59] scunizi we all know that what doesn't work in Linux will in windows, but it works fine in windows because the drivers for ati are in windows. But the ones that are in Ubuntu and Gentoo are either to new or something else I can't remidy, opengl works in linux Ubuntu so I don't know what to do [06:59] rookeeeeeeeee, start one from a terminal prompt with a command like xchat -d ~/.xchat2_other [06:59] Severian, how do i run them both at the same time? [06:59] Hey guys [07:00] scunizi I'll try the blender channel maybe they can shed some light on this [07:00] almark, have you checked ati for any newer drivers .. I seem to remember that they just recently released something new.. a driver or catalyst or something. [07:00] rookeeeeeeeee, well you run one and then you run the other. If you don't stop the first one, they'll both be running. [07:00] rookeeeeeeeee, enter the command twice, or open two terminals. [07:00] I saw a guide to booting Fedora off of a usb key [07:00] scunizi: isn't catalyst essentially just fglrx right now? [07:01] Is it possible to do that with Ubuntu? [07:01] so I installed openssh-server. I tried $ ssh localhost and got a connection refused error. what's wrong? [07:01] scunizi: although I could be mistaken, it's been a couple of months since I've used ubuntu [07:01] aves, or a control center for the drivers.. not sure.. I don't do ati [07:01] pb11: yep! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [07:01] ok Severian thanks i created a launcher like that but now the launcher only opens into the new instance, how do i get back to the old one? [07:01] wow: in a term type netstat -tunap see if port 22 is listening [07:02] darryl_: the command I enter in the terminal is `aoss zsnes -v 4 -1 1 foogame.smc` [07:02] Use the lancher from your origanl xchat for the olther one. [07:02] i did [07:02] gnutron: no it doesn't seem to be [07:02] sshd is running [07:03] scunizi Catalyst is what windows uses for Ati, yet ppl keep telling me the new ati drives do not support my card [07:03] Go to the applications men. Choose Internet and then xchat [07:03] darryl_: aoss and zsnes both have -rwxr-xr-x [07:03] wow: try restarting sshd [07:03] jhambo, so what are the permissions for foogame.smc? [07:03] thats what i did Severian [07:03] wow: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [07:03] Hi, Is there a way to have a full list of 'recent documents' (files that have been oppened) instead of just the last 10, like ,last day, or something ? please [07:04] If I boot ubuntu off of a usb key, will I have problems with writing to my hard drives? [07:04] hi i was wondering is there any howtos for gpixpod? [07:04] jhambo, ok, I'm stummped. [07:04] wow: if it doesnt show up in netstat on 22 it wont work, you'll get it. [07:04] gnutron: still not listening to port 22 [07:04] is /etc/resolv.conf a symlink on your systems? === yoyoyo is now known as chairat [07:04] tux9778: have you tried "man gpixpod" in terminal?

[07:06] rookeeeeeeeee, unless you changed it, your original launcher will use one config directory. Run it. The new launcher will use a separate config directory. Launch it and it will be a separate window. [07:06] tux9778: hardy [07:06] anyone help me with sound problem? flash movie sound works perfectly, divx/mp3/startup sound are all distorted and choppy, raising the PCM when playing any of these makes sounds like the speakers will pop [07:06] wow: /usr/sbin/sshd is the deamon [07:06] rookeeeeeeeee, If you just want two windows, did you see that xchat has an option to open a new window. [07:06] nnull: which version of ubuntu are you running? What sound drivers? [07:07] wow: re-install, ive never seen it fail really. [07:07] alright [07:07] aves¬ 8.04, alsa, onboard soundcard, speaker-tests work fine, flash audio works fine [07:08] nnull: I don't really know what the problem would be, I'm running the same config, and things work fine, sorry! [07:08] lolk, yea ive never had audio prob's before either..

Was a bit of an issue a year or so back [07:13] (and got wireless working) [07:13] Severian: It's okay. I somehow filled my hard drive, and I borked random bits of Ubuntu. [07:14] Oh also, are there any good uTorrent replacements? [07:14] did anybody play monopoly 3d online? [07:14] transmission [07:14] wow: sudo invoke.rc.d ssh maybe? jack sparrow knows that method, but ive done dozens of ssh servers no probs?! [07:14] pb11 [07:15] pb11: I'm using transmission. rtorrent is great if you don't want a gui. You can ssh in and tinker with it remotely [07:15] why does apt-get remove nginx not work? [07:15] :O [07:15] what a bug [07:15] I'm wondering if once upon a time I was messing with the config file. would reinstalling make it go back to default [07:15] I'm a windows power user, so I won't be going gui-less for a while :( [07:15] Although I am a big fan of minimalism [07:15] wow, probably not [07:16] I like xfce :O [07:16] pb11: Then you have a lot of fun ahead. Tinkering with config files makes you think you're a hacker :P [07:16] so there are no MSI Wind owners here? [07:17] can some one help me to install ftp tool,cuteftp on ubuntu 8.10....? [07:17] dragon1: just use filezilla [07:17] Is there a "correct" or "recommended" way to remove pulseaudio and to make sure that applications are no longer trying to use it? [07:17] akio, maybe not. I'd like to try one. Do you have demo units available? [07:17] lol [07:18] purged config files and reinstalled. that did it. thanks gnutron and skylarS [07:18] I have a demo right here, it's not doing so well... [07:18] dragon1: cuteftp itself wasn't made for Ubuntu, so I agree with akio's idea of changing the program, but if you must use it, install it with Wine. [07:18] akio: is it inbuilt in ubuntu...? [07:18] i will repeat my question , if anybody can answer meh: installed plugins for mp3 play, everytime i open an mp3 with Totem Movie Player the program just closes without no errors. what could be the problem [07:18] yep [07:19] does uTorrent work well with wine? [07:19] pb11: just use transmission [07:19] AlexOnRuby, So, what are the errors? [07:19] it even has a web interface [07:20] AlexOnRuby, without no errors would be with errors, so it is a fair question. [07:20] and encryption [07:20] k [07:20] dragon1: If you aren't afraid of non-GUI FTP, type "ftp" in Terminal. [07:20] how do i change the colours of the cli? [07:20] don't let the simplicity fool you [07:21] severian : the error would be that my mp3s don't play :D [07:21] judgen, You can edit your .bashrc file to do that. [07:21] aves:thanks I installed filezilla.... [07:21] So guys, I have a general question [07:21] Severian: oh yeah thats it [07:21] Python vs Ruby, what are your thoughts? [07:21] wow, so now try that with nginx [07:21] I want to learn an open-source language [07:21] ruby all the way pb11 [07:21] Why? [07:22] pb11, python of course [07:22] =\ [07:22] * pb11 first time programmer [07:22] python +1 [07:22] dragon: try filezila from http://www.getdeb.net/ [07:22] AlexOnRuby, It could several things. Maybe the mp3 files are bad. You might not have the right totem plugin. Have you tried vlc on the mp3 files? [07:22] judgen: edit default profile in terminal menu [07:22] mirec29_: wouldn't sudo apt-get be faster? =P [07:22] I have no prior coding skills to form an opinion on either of the two [07:22] python +1 [07:22] other than they both seem useful [07:23] I've been leaning to python [07:23] why is ruby good? [07:23] anyone know how to more forcefully remove a package.. like quit giving me this error message and get this package the hell out of my face [07:23] aves: maybe, not sure [07:23] pb11: ruby is more development friendly^^ [07:23] skylarS: try debfoster? [07:23] pb11, ruby has good syntax. But, the developers have not been as good at extending it, IMHO. [07:24] judgen: .bashrc just gives you font colors, the edit/profile you can do white on black, fonts etc. [07:24] skylarS, apt-get purge package [07:24] skylarS: sudo dpkg -r --force-all [07:24] skylarS: man dpkg will help [07:24] why did Envy NG install fglrx-amdcccle: Installed fglrx-amdcccle I have a p4 not an amd? [07:24] pb11: just try to do some basic stuff in both langauges and see witch one you like better maybe [07:24] skylarS: try to use: sudo apt-get --purge remove first though as its more graceful [07:25] pb11, I speak as someone active in a local Python group, so I may not be completely unbiased. But, it is something we alll talk about. [07:25] ActionParsnip, no luck, nginx bug doesn't allow gracefully removal [07:25] skylarS: nice [07:26] * gnutron rocks intrepidly [07:26] almark1: amdcccle is the Catalyst Control Centre [07:26] almark1: it has nothing to do with the processor, don't worry! [07:27] Ruby is more friendly than Python? [07:27] I thought python was supposed to be very intuitive [07:27] ? [07:27] man wuoo good thanks [07:27] amd = ati I forgot lol [07:27] pb11 both are better than eachother but I have only used python 2bhonest [07:28] pb11: I find python's tab-based syntax a bit counter-intuitive, and kind of confusing [07:28] pb11 both are better than eachother [07:28] is that some buddhist philosophy there >> [07:28] pb11, At one time, Ruby seemed to be more consistently object oriented. I think Python is friendlier, but I am not sure what friendly means here. [07:28] correct [07:28] almark1: yeah, it does get confusing sometimes =) [07:28] I was told to not go for something too OO biased for my first language [07:28] hi...how to de-encrypted [07:28] password? [07:29] go ask a really dumb question in both irc channels and see which group of developers you hate more :P [07:29] !best | pb11 [07:29] pb11: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:29] gotta go thanks all [07:29] skylarS: rubyst obviously, they hardly answer any question ^^ [07:29] I think that in learning a new language you tend to go for the language with the best tutorials and documentation overall, regardless of how difficult the language really is [07:30] skylarS: they are to busy developing :] [07:30] developing pulseaudio for moobuntu? [07:31] I guess I will have to reinstall the whole operating system like a moron :( [07:31] negative houston [07:31] b/c nginx won't uninstall [07:31] hello all [07:31] skylarS: try installing debfoster [07:31] Python will probably have a better future. Guido seems to have a better grasp on where he is headed. Mats has made public statements about being overwhelmed by the project. [07:31] skylarS: and using that to remove the packages [07:31] aves oh yeah, I just pulled that down [07:31] is there a free training certification for ubuntu? [07:32] But, if you have a local users group for either, I would start there. Learn one and you can move to the other. [07:32] skylarS: have you tried it? =P [07:34] I'd like to learn one of those languages too. I used to work with Perl about 10 years ago, but haven't coded anything since [07:34] guys ive found the problem for my sound problem ive had all day, when i mplayer a mp3 the AO: is [pulse] instead of [alsa], feeding it commands to use alsa makes it work! so yea can i jsut get rid of pulse without any problems? ifso how pls?

[08:17] wsgordon, depends on what you want to edit [08:17] pb11 if you have free space then u can make a resized partition === taco is now known as Gumby [08:18] Well [08:18] I have enough space to make a partition [08:18] and install ubuntu [08:18] gnutron: jim_p__ : it isn't here either, but vpnc claims that it has to be for it to work.. [08:18] but I'd like to reallocate some more space to it later [08:18] jim_p__ i need to edit the password file in order to boot the hard drive install, all i have access to is a old knoppix live cd though [08:18] even though windows partition will be fat32 and ubuntu wont [08:18] will that work? [08:19] wsgordon, chroot it then! === jim_p__ is now known as jim_p [08:19] /bin/sh: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied [08:20] sorry [08:20] jim_p__ explain a bit, please. once i boot the installed ubuntu system, then how do i get root access to boot [08:20] pb11 sure u can always change the size of ur partitions, provided you have enough space on ur hdd [08:20] pb11 u may have to free up some space, back up files onto another hdd or cd roms [08:21] so say [08:21] wsgordon, well you will have to use chroot to "alter" the existing ubuntu installation and change the password [08:21] ../etc/resolv.conf is an ASCII text file, no symlink whatsoever [08:21] my windows is on c:/ right now [08:21] and it has, like, 5 gigs of space [08:21] so I partition that and install ubuntu [08:21] if I clear room on c:/ later [08:21] <^hellfire^> siema [08:21] from the installed ubuntu or the live cd ? [08:21] can I add that to the newly made ubuntu after the fact of install [08:22] fresh install of ubuntu [08:22] I got rid of the old one === ^hellfire^ is now known as hellfire [08:22] I stopped using for about a year =\ [08:22] gnutron, my /etc/resolv.conf is a text file! [08:22] you mean add the free space from the C:\ partition to the ubuntu partition? [08:22] pb11 so you only have 5 gigs and u want to split that in half for windows and ubuntu? [08:23] wsgordon, you put the live cd in, let it boot, open a terminal, chroot to the ubuntu installation, change password and you are done [08:23] !chroot [08:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [08:23] jim_p: right, so is a symlink technically, isnt it? but resolv.conf is just a plain old .conf file [08:23] not actually in half [08:23] bad wording [08:23] I want to use the 5 gigs thats free [08:24] oh [08:24] and split that off [08:24] gnutron, no its a text file as in plain text. no symlink! [08:24] guide me or a url link please. [08:24] which is no problem [08:24] its reallocating space later [08:24] which I'm wondering about [08:24] wsgordon, ok give me a sec [08:24] jim_p: youre right, there is a way to get into the box and change the pass [08:24] if its not possible I'll have to wait until I clear up more room first [08:24] reallocating space is possible with gnome partition editor, but there's a chance of failure [08:24] =\ [08:24] Have you tried it before? [08:24] yes I have [08:25] did it work/ [08:25] I've done it 3 or 4 times and it worked every time for me [08:25] jim_p__ where is the user name and password stored ? [08:25] pb11, it's worked 9/10 or better for me [08:25] wsgordon, dunno [08:25] nice [08:25] jim_p: right, i agreed all along. not a symlink. i dunno i need sleep [08:25] pb11, did it ever fail? maybe not [08:25] It sucks ubuntu hates the dell optiplex. [08:25] would you recommend fragmenting my windows drive before reallocating some of the free space to ubuntu to improve the chances of success? [08:25] wsgordon, vice versa [08:25] defragmenting [08:25] >> [08:25] sleep deprivation -_- [08:25] pb11, sounds like a plan [08:26] lol [08:26] yeah [08:26] yeah [08:26] do it [08:26] i just know i will use ubuntu before I install vista... ;) [08:26] back up important stuff, but I think it'll go smoothly [08:26] ok [08:26] wsgordon: its encrypted in /etc/shadow i think [08:26] Anybody here try Ubuntu Studio? [08:27] i have so much hdd space that i never really had to worry about that i guess [08:27] wsgordon, I have Ubuntu installed on a bunch of Dell Optiplexes. I have done it since Ubuntu first came out. Dell uses such generic hardware that it works well. [08:27] pb11, yeah, kind of sucks imho, sounds like a good idea though [08:27] i've installed the studio kernel on top of a generic one [08:27] wsgordon: install vista first to avoid grub stuff [08:28] the main difference with ubuntu studio is that it includes lots of media editing apps, that's about it. [08:28] had vista installed, but I prefer to run a pure linux system, no duel boot [08:28] is it possible to install a network printer from windows to ubuntu that is not supported inder ubuntu? [08:28] alfred_, pb11 I think the real time kernel is the key, everything else is just flash and bloat that I can tell [08:28] is it possible to install a network printer from windows to ubuntu that is not supported under ubuntu? [08:28] cant find a site that explains if that is possible [08:28] I've had bad luck with networking printers [08:29] that's bad news [08:29] wsgordon thats what i want and i kinda want to try installing windows on linux through vmware or wahtever so i dont have to duakboot [08:29] for me [08:29] dual* === Guest8078 is now known as Tux33 [08:29] can i use photoshop cs4 with wine? [08:29] kern, if you have enough mem/proc you can vmware your existing windows partition [08:30] that is pretty cool but this laptop is not beefy enough [08:30] What file system is better? [08:30] so it's not possible to let windows do the translation on network printing [08:30] wsgordon: no 'duel' boot is a pun ;) [08:30] ext3 [08:30] I've installed osx on a dell before, but when theres a install issue and the password fails, im stuck [08:30] sKylarS hmm how much mem do i need? [08:30] since the driver only suports windows [08:30] how can i check for a binary in which pkg it is?' [08:31] having a non-NTFS file system won't affect my ability to write to my windows partition will it? [08:31] kern depends on the winduhs but over a gig for XP I would suppose [08:31] kern: i have intrepid on a pentium 1.7 mhz 384 mb ram, runs great [08:31] windows XP can function well on 512mb of ram, as long as you don't multi-task too much [08:31] skylarS ive got 3 [08:32] nice [08:32] I think the minimum requirment to install XP is 128mb [08:32] anyone? [08:32] If Im not constantly pressing a key, ubuntu hangs on boot, but if I press a key it goes boots, same thing with shutdown, has anyone heard anything about this before? [08:32] kern: 128 mb video card helps [08:32] bot sure about my video card [08:32] kern, yeah, if you have windows already installed it would be nice to VM into the existing partition, eh? I bit tricky but I did it once [08:32] can i use photoshop cs4 with wine? [08:32] Hi, I have a problem with my wireless. It stopped working yesterday after a reboot... has beeb working fine for the last 6 months. I have an rt73usb wireless adapter. All other PC's in the house are fine. networkmanager reports that wireless is disabled, all the options are greyed out. 'dbus' detects the wireless adapter but I can't connect. Can someone please help? [08:33] skylarS it would be nice i dont even know how to vmware in the first place though [08:33] PunyHuman, you're sure the adapter is powered on? [08:33] alfred_: yes it is [08:33] hi all [08:34] wsgordon, i cant find a proper chroot tutorial! [08:34] hmm, well I don't know what to say with usb adapters [08:34] are the open source compilers for programming python and c++ any good? [08:34] !vmware [08:34] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [08:34] people have told me how awesome vim is [08:35] wow got to love it when you click callender in evolution and it just shuts down [08:35] is there a command in openbox to start applications minimized? [08:35] I'm looking for the url to the site I read the optiplex has password issues on, but cannot locate it [08:35] PunyHuman, it can see the network, right? If so, is your host using WPA? [08:36] kern, http://www.squidoo.com/use-existing-windows-installation-and-apps-in-ubuntu [08:36] anyone have problems with flashing in opengl programs? [08:36] alfred_: it is not a WPA problem, security makes no difference. when i left click on networkmanager, everything is greyed out. eth0 and the wireless are both greyed out. when i right click, "enable networking" is ticked and enabled, but "enable wireless" is greyed out and not ticked [08:37] kern, i had to juggle a bunch of howto's but it only took me about an hour or so [08:37] nice [08:37] PunyHuman, could a recent update have affected the driver in any way? [08:37] im sure it will take me longer haha [08:37] alfred_: lsusb showsthe adapter, lsmod shows that the modules are loaded, dbus detects the hardware. it is some kind of networkmanager problem from what i can see [08:37] well that's very strange [08:38] alfred_: i have not done in any updates in about 2 weeks, pc has been rebooted in between. [08:38] I'd like to try to get the source from CVS [08:38] I would try re-installing network manager, or using a different network manager [08:38] can you boot as root [08:38] what irc clients are good on ubuntu [08:38] skylarS im using stata hdd's [08:38] alfred_: i think I will try wicd [08:38] !cvs [08:38] cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ [08:38] kern, should be similar [08:39] alfred_: i just plugged in my usb memory stick and nothing happened. it seems that no usb devices are working, even though dbus knows they are there [08:39] linus torvalds loves CVS [08:39] alfred_: could it have something to do with the fact that i disabled a few servics at boot time [08:39] what does it mean for apt not able to get v 80483e6: 56 push %esi [08:39] wsgordon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword use 'the other way' listed in this document. [08:39] what does it mean for apt not able to get verification? [08:39] PunyHuman, all I can say is that trying wicd sounds like a good idea. Reinstalling network manager is a good idea, too [08:39] i think windows is better [08:39] :O [08:39] here come the flames =\ [08:40] is it too difficult? [08:40] yay, lets start an argument about windows vs. linux [08:40] alfred_: do you know which services control usb ? i used sysv-rc-conf and disabled some things i probably should not have [08:40] alright ill try this [08:40] later all [08:40] Hello! Firefox is crashing constantly on intrerpid [08:40] first of learn how to spell! and whats there to argue about [08:41] why might cplay using mpg123 jump from 1% or less cpu usage to 8% switching from gnome to lxde (openbox, lxterminal other recommended defaults)? [08:41] jamil, hello. use flashblock for a start [08:41] flashblock ? [08:41] jamil, yea. its a firefox addon [08:41] PunyHuman, wicd is supposed to work a lot better for usb wireless devices. I would try that, and if it doesn't work, then it's a USB problem [08:41] TheoPast: windows is ok if you spend thousands of dollars on software, but it sucks at networking. [08:41] jamil, assuming that crashes are 99% flash faults [08:41] alfred_: I have no way of getting wicd on to the pc... it is wireless only, and none of my usb thumb drives are being detected [08:42] how do I set an environment variable? [08:42] alfred_: this seems to me more like a USB problem in general rather than a wireless issue [08:42] jim_p: should i install flashblock ? [08:42] PunyHuman, I had the issue with having only a wireless card, and no others. I suppose you're right, it is a usb problem.. [08:42] PunyHuman, do you have internet connection on that pc? and DO NOT just download the .deb and install manually, use the repo!!! [08:42] what does it mean for apt not able to get verification for some pkgs? [08:42] jamil, yea === _ is now known as Guest51489 [08:43] got this error in tty1 (wasnt logged in) right before hard freeze: CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error: -112 [08:43] adv_, some authentication key for some repo is missing [08:43] jim_p: no, it is wireless only. the router is 300m away [08:43] jim_p: is it dangerous? [08:43] PunyHuman, you could try booting into a LiveCD and testing wireless/USB functionality there [08:43] alfred_: who can help me with my usb problem them [08:43] PunyHuman, do you have internet connextion now? [08:43] paranoid_ndroid: /etc/environment or /etc/profile i think. ive used both, those are global settins be aware [08:43] jamil: gettting the updates might help overcome it, assuming u installed a downloaded version of intrepid from torrents.. [08:43] jim_p: is it often ? [08:43] hay alfred saigh whuts up to bruce four me [08:43] alfred_: It works fine. it is something that I have done to my system which is causing it not to work [08:43] adv_, depends on the repo, and no its not often [08:43] alfred_: livecd works fine but does not help me solve the probem [08:44] jim_p: yes, obviously [08:44] Acedip: I has feisty which i upgraded to intrepid directly [08:44] gnutron thanks ill give it a try [08:44] PunyHuman, well use the wicd repo to install it! [08:44] jim_p: I am using a different PC [08:44] lol [08:44] Acedip: but firefox was running fine till yesterday [08:44] gnutron, what is the command? export? [08:44] PunyHuman: I don't know anything about usb nonfunction [08:44] jamil: ohh.. [08:45] jamil, feisty > intrepid at once? or feisty > hardy > intrepid ?? [08:45] does anyone know why usb is just simply not working??? dbus sees the hardware but none of it will do anything... storage devices, wireless adapters. surely someone has had this happen to them before! [08:45] adv_: it means you dont have the pgp key installed [08:45] jim_p: at once [08:45] PunyHuman, lsusb [08:45] jamil, no wonder why. you jumped from ff2 to ff3 [08:45] jim_p: it shows all of the devices.... [08:46] paranoid_ndroid: i think its 'set' then 'export [08:46] jim_p: /dev/sdb1 is normally my usb stick. If I try to mount, it says special device does not exist. even though it shows up in lsusb [08:46] PunyHuman, does dmesg say anything when you plug sth in? [08:46] jim_p: infact this page crashes firefox: http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/search/label/Topology [08:46] gnutron, do you have an example? [08:46] "(03:43:08 AM) alfred_: don't tell anybody, but i really like the new vista program, but if u still wanna meet me for drinks id really like that..." wtf? [08:46] jim_p: yes, it shows that it has detected everything [08:46] gnutron: how can i install it? [08:47] reboot [08:47] jim_p: firefox is still crashing(after installing flashblock) [08:47] paranoid_ndroid: havent done that for quite awhile, i'll take a look though [08:47] jamil, it doesnt for me! [08:47] jamil, ff does crash for me on some sites like www.insomnia.gr/forum [08:48] jamil: got damnit..what was that page..even mine's gone [08:48] jim_p: i think the proper question wouldve been feisty->gutsy->hardy->intrepid [08:48] Acedip: no that site is trusted one [08:48] maco, i missed an alphabet letter [08:48] adv_: the repo site should show how to wget the key and import it using tee to install it in root's keyring [08:48] jamil, it does not crash at the main page though [08:48] ? [08:49] jim_p: all other pages are opening normally [08:49] gnutron: it's the same repo i always use [08:49] jamil, try cleaning the cache [08:50] jamil, and as last resort, use opera for that site [08:50] adv_: do you get a warning? [08:50] just out of curiosity guys..how many websites are there on the internet [08:50] it worked just with export [08:50] thanks gnutron [08:50] not the webpages though.. [08:50] I think there's over 100 million websites [08:51] paranoid_ndroid: ok, heres a cmd line or two actually- NNTPSERVER='netnews.mchsi.com' [08:51] anybody know where swiftfox keeps it's configuration files for each user? [08:51] export NNTPSERVER [08:51] hi, i just installed ubuntu on my hp pavilion dv 9000, i've enabled the restricted drivers by nvidia but still cannot increase my screen resolution [08:51] Acedip: 108 million websites, nearly 30 billion web pages. [08:51] gnutron: not the other times [08:52] also, i can't remember any terminal commands from the short period i used it about a year ago >_< [08:52] alfred_: url ? [08:52] bitmous1, in ~/.swiftfox maybe? [08:52] jim_p: from where can i get opera ? [08:53] can anyone help me please? [08:53] adv_: regular ubuntu repo's i dont recall needing to install the signing key. [08:53] jim_p: isn't there strangely enough, on either of my accoutns === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [08:53] jamil, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and add the opera repo. then use synaptic for the rest [08:53] Hi all, I have this problem while logging into my ubuntu box. I'm sure the password I entered is correct, yet the box just returned me to its login prompt. What could be the problem? [08:53] adv_: in synaptic you'll see a few listed [08:53] hello [08:53] vertx, select a session [08:54] but alfred_: that figure is as of feb 2007..its 22 now months after that [08:54] can somone explain how to put permission to the subfolders also? [08:54] jim_p: Do you mean the session wasn't automatically selected? [08:54] with chmod it does only main folder [08:54] Mud|afk, chown -R [08:54] or chmod -R [08:54] ty :) [08:55] thanx \o/ [08:55] it seems that ibex's nvidia support now ignores vsync [08:55] not sure if its R or r Mud|afk [08:55] I think r [08:55] __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK now has no effect [08:55] Mud|afk: chmod -R 755 dir/ for example [08:55] the glx support doesn't do anything [08:55] Hello guys, How can I change my external drive filesystem without losing my data? [08:55] and nvidia-settings doesn't work either [08:55] ok gnutron :> [08:55] second question [08:55] I have host allow in my samba share [08:55] Is chrome available for ubuntu ? [08:56] theeclipse, you move the data to a safe place and format it to the new filesystem. other methods have non guaranteed results [08:56] but..I want a short ip range exampe 10.35.39.20- 10.35.39.40 in there [08:56] how I do that? [08:56] jamil, no. unless you want to run it in wine [08:56] is there a command that i can run to see if this server can handle SATA hdds [08:56] 10.35.39.20-40 isnt working? [08:56] jim_p: not even gparted ? [08:56] theeclipse, nope [08:56] Mud|afk: i know nothing about samba configs, sorry. [08:57] too bad :( [08:57] finiras, does it have sata ports? and sata drives? [08:57] jim_p: I have lotof problems to make it writable under Debian because it is VFAT, then I thought maybe it is better I change its filesystem, any idea? [08:57] Mud|afk: 10.35.39.0/24 maybe i dunno [08:58] theeclipse, well vfat is as is writable and readable by any os! [08:58] gnutron: I want a short list only, only servers must access the share [08:58] anybody know where swiftfox keeps it's bookmarks etc for each user? [08:58] theeclipse, where does debian fail? [08:58] 20-40 is the server ip range [08:58] servers* [08:58] bitmous1, are they different than ff bookmarks? [08:59] Mud|afk: no samba experience for me. [08:59] gnutron too bad :( I find nothing with google :o >.< [08:59] jim_p: It mounts it but the problem is that non-root users do not have permission of write, and plus I can not change its file permissions even by root [08:59] jim_p it doesnt have SATA drives, but the thing is, i have this server that is far from me at the mo and i was gonna buy a new hard drive for this, so i need to know if there are any SATA ports. I have SSH access [08:59] jim_p: I dunno but I do know when I open it up as root and when I open it up as my user I get two completely different sets of bookmarks etc [08:59] hiiiialllllll [08:59] theeclipse, can you use an fstab entry for that? [08:59] hey one at a time! [08:59] Mud|afk: samba.org [09:00] jim_p i do remember somebody telling me some time ago that it does support SATA but i dont want to risk buying it for nothing [09:00] finiras, lshw will tell [09:00] i think [09:00] jim_p: this is my entry for the drive : users,iocharset=utf8,exec,rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=002,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=1000,gid=1000 [09:00] thx, ill try [09:00] hi all I have a rm question [09:00] gnutron hi [09:00] I got a folder with LOTS of files and if I try to remove all with rm *.* it tells me the list is too long [09:00] any idea how else I can remove all files [09:00] > ompaul hiiiiiii [09:00] bitmous1, thats correct. root user and your user are different accounts [09:01] holy shit... how many files do you have in that folder [09:01] lots of thousands of files [09:01] fy, h [09:01] jim_p: right, so I figure the config files, bookmarks etc would be in the home directories of each user, but so far i can't find em [09:01] > ompaul hiiiiiiiiiiiii [09:01] how are you? [09:01] are you a man? [09:01] any idea how I can get rid of those? :P [09:02] theeclipse: heres my fstab entry- /dev/sdb1 /media/LOCAL_DISK vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0 [09:02] gnutron: Thanks man I will try it now [09:02] theeclipse, have you tried setting 2 parameters for this in fstab? defaults,iocharset=utf8 [09:02] nirina hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [09:02] Good morning [09:02] gm [09:02] how are you? [09:03] jim_p: it is the exact line that I copied from my fstab [09:03] theeclipse: you may need to chmod and chown manually at first [09:03] Im doing okay. I am having some xconfig issues...serious ones it seems lol [09:03] will somebody kick the troll [09:03] gnutron: I chown the mount point first but after mount it changes it to root [09:03] theeclipse, ok. comment it out and try with these 2 options i gave you [09:04] how can i implement firewall on my webserver? I am using ubuntu 8.04 server edition with LAMP. [09:04] what pkg do i need for gtk+-2.0? [09:04] theeclipse: setuid to your uid [09:04] after all the software used svn [09:04] Whenever I try to use the sudo /etc/X11/xorg/conf to change my driver settings, it says "ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'" Then if I type nvidia-xconfig, it says "Using X configuration file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first CorePointer in the config input list" I dont know whats going on, but I even think my comp is running slower. Any ideas [09:04] it seems a lot simpler... [09:04] Will anything bad happen if I launch 1000 tar processes in about a second? I.e. will I get some kind of error message? [09:05] krish: use shorewall or firestarte, unless you're proficient with iptables [09:05] fasta: try it [09:05] fasta, are you trying to see what happens if you launch a fork bomb? [09:05] hc: no [09:05] hi [09:05] theeclipse: then sudo chown you:root /media/disk [09:05] MrSoundless: You could try something like this to remove all files from the current directory: find . -name '*' -exec rm {} \; [09:06] has anyone tried fwbuilder? i think is a bit more user friendly than firestarter [09:06] Zealot12: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:06] jim_p: I use shorewall myself [09:06] jim_p any idea how i can see the output of lshw when its too long for the screen of putty to hold [09:07] Zealot12: or editor of choice [09:07] yes [09:07] finiras, dump it on a file like so lshw > output.txt [09:07] finiras, or use more to view it page after page lshw | more [09:07] thx jim_p, does that stuff work with most output commands? [09:08] how can i kill a process if I have it's id? [09:08] finiras, yea [09:08] AdvoWork, killall id [09:08] i think [09:08] jim_p: It doesnt work [09:08] finiras: lshw > some-filename then open the file in an editot [09:08] whuffor: ty, I found it, I just did rm -rf dirname and removed the complete dir :P [09:08] gnutron: I can not chwon it even by root !! [09:08] gnutron: I will join the samba channel for that channel ;) [09:08] for that question* [09:09] is there anyway to paste from firefox to a terminal? [09:09] theeclipse: it must be mounted first [09:09] directly [09:09] anyone know why an 8.10 livecd boots on my macbook, but not my acer? [09:09] MrSoundless: Glad you solved it [09:09] ty for the answer though :) [09:09] As a rule, the find command is very useful [09:09] Well worth learning [09:09] gnutron: Yes I know, # chown behdad:root external/ [09:09] chown: changing ownership of `external/': Operation not permitted [09:09] acasla, is the acer laptop on ati? [09:10] hi I have ubuntu 8.04 on my server but I have problem with install some package that I need you can see here http://phpfi.com/387271 [09:10] theeclipse: thats 'chown' btw [09:10] gnutron: lol, man it was a typo [09:10] theeclipse: an external drive eh? [09:11] jim_p, the acer has an nvidia geforce 8600m [09:11] hello , something strange occurred in the above bar in the screen in gnome [09:11] I install each one but I have problem also [09:11] i was able to put a lot of the running application on this bar [09:11] ive got: rsync 2493 root cwd unknown /home/ZimbraBackups (stat: No such device or address) ive done: kill 2493 and its still there?? [09:11] gnutron: yes [09:11] like pidgin, xchat [09:11] in the right direction [09:11] any soultion ? [09:11] now i can't do this i don't know what is the problem ? [09:12] is there anyone understanding me ? [09:12] theeclipse: i dunno [09:12] gnutron: Thanks man. [09:12] mmmmm gee it feels like I dont even have the right words for my question.. Where/How do I update the list of package sources so that the Update Manger can find the unfound deb files [09:12] jim_p: Thank you. [09:12] err whats that command line text editor called again [09:12] ok so I found a software sources in the add/rem apps -> then preferenc [09:12] theeclipse: it is mounted right? [09:13] so now where do I find proper source address? [09:13] theeclipse: type 'mount' [09:13] gnutron: Yes I can mount it, the problem is that other users can not write on it, even by root I can not change its ownership and persmission [09:13] apt-get install libberkeleydb-perl == The following packages have unmet dependencies: libberkeleydb-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.8.8 E: Broken packages :-( [09:13] but perlapi-5.8.8 is installed [09:14] gnutron: Thanks so much man! So I can now go in and rectify the situation...it was using the wrong driver. The "nvidia" driver, I have an old intel graphics chip so that was *not* gonna fly lol [09:14] theeclipse: hrm, chmod 755 it first maybe [09:15] gnutron: It is 755 by default [09:15] can anybody name a good command line text editor [09:15] finiras: VIM [09:15] ed or ex had been around forever [09:15] *has [09:16] finiras: nano is easy, vi is powerful, emacs same thing [09:16] rite thx [09:16] vi aka vim [09:16] those are fullscreen editors though. The question was for a command line editor [09:17] finiras: btw if you are under ubuntu why dont you use GEDIT ? [09:17] Is it posible to preconfigure WPA securitysettings in the interface file? [09:17] well, I'm guessing he just wants a CLI editor, whuffor [09:17] Mmm. Possibly [09:17] theeclipse no im approachign a ubuntu server using SSH [09:17] Can't find anything while googleing.. [09:17] You can't always use a gui editor if you for instance connect via ssh or something. [09:17] its been long since i did this stuff, forgot most of the commands [09:17] HEY!!! [09:17] finiras: Then use SSH -X [09:18] Is envyng still useful in Ubuntu 8.10? Every mention of it seems geared toward 8.04 [09:18] yo yo yo [09:18] #linuxac [09:18] theeclipse: Why use a gui if you don't have to? [09:18] dnyy: I use it [09:18] FUCK YOU [09:18] :x [09:18] theeclipse im using putty from a windows machine [09:18] Zealot12: read that file, note the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver.xorg command [09:18] whuffor: Well it is harf to start with VIM, it was just a suggestion [09:18] finiras, then you'd need special software if you wanted to use X forwarding over ssh [09:18] XMing I think it's called [09:18] ActionParsnip: Well when it asks me to pick a driver, only one shows up. I'm guessing it's the correct one? I really don't want to mess anything up. :x [09:18] nano is probably the easiest course [09:19] finiras: Then as mentioned above, VIM or Nano [09:19] theeclipse: making gui work over a network in a secure way isn't that easy either :) [09:19] VIM was the first editor I ever used, from my noob days. It's not too hard, I think [09:19] dnyy: just instal the driver with auto hardware detection and it'll install what it needs, make sure you run the app with gksudo [09:19] amdpox, X forwarding? you mean like send a file from that pc to the one im on now? [09:19] i agree that nano is easier than VIM [09:19] whuffor: Oh alright man ;) [09:19] +1 nano [09:19] finiras, no, it lets you run GUI apps remotely [09:19] whuffor, actually ... if you know how to use SSH tunnels its very easy. [09:20] ActionParsnip: I'm running Xubuntu and gksudo/gedit seem to never do anything. Is there a xfce alternative or something? [09:20] dnyy: sudo apt-get install gksudo maybe (?) [09:20] hc: Agreed, but you have to learn it first. It can be very convenient [09:20] dennda: MousePad ? [09:20] amdpox i know how it works thx. ive done this a lot before only it was a long time ago so i forgot the names [09:20] dnyy, mousepad is the text editor [09:20] whuffor, i use it to administrate a bunch of pc's at school, so yeah, it's really easy. [09:21] dnyy, You can install gedit on xfce. It installs pretty easily. I assume gksudo would not be bad, but I have not tried that. [09:21] dnyy: according to one post, xfce uses gtk too [09:21] gnutron: Anyway thanks man! [09:21] hc: I think it's great too. My objection was just that learning how to do that just to use a graphical editor instead of a text editor seemed like overkill and not necessary [09:21] theeclipse: welcome [09:21] Severian: Ah, alright then. It not coming preinstalled had me confused as to if I should install it or not. :p [09:22] xfce is gtk-based, but I think gedit has gnome deps [09:22] amdpox: im just trying to give him graphical sudo [09:22] how do I disable gdm from starting onboot, without removing it [09:22] I try to load Rosetta stone using wine vitual desktop, but it says "please insert the correct cd" [09:23] Well it seems there isn't a gnome-based GUI at the moment. :/ [09:23] dnyy, xfce has most of the libraries that gedit needs already. You just add the app. I always do that on xubuntu. xubuntu is very nice on my P2/366. Enjoy it. [09:23] Photoguy: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1867 [09:24] ddoom, install bum and disable the service [09:24] whuffor, that's a good point. [09:24] Severian: I do, it runs a lot better with 512MB of RAM than gnome/kde. [09:24] So if there's no GUI for this, I'm assuming sudo will do just fine? [09:24] dnyy: you run: gksudo envyng-gtk [09:25] dnyy, running graphical apps with plain sudo can lead to issues [09:25] Thanks I'll try that. [09:25] ddoom: you use invoke.rc.d i believe, ask jack sparrow that question [09:26] Photoguy, do you have a language pack CD in? [09:26] Yes :) [09:26] In the physical drive? [09:26] gnutron: it says "Package 'xserver.xorg' is not installed and no info is available" hmmmm [09:26] Yes [09:26] gnutron: k [09:26] ActionParnsip: It's saying there isn't a GUI, though, other than one for KDE. [09:26] hmmm, I got rosetta working, lemme try to remembe rhow [09:27] Ok [09:27] It odes the same with BF2 [09:27] Zealot12: intrepid, probably so, just installed ibex today on one box. [09:27] Battlefield 2 [09:27] ddoom, I would do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:28] Severian, that's hardly a permenant solution === TroyMcClure is now known as Troylube [09:28] Severian: but it will restart on boot === _ is now known as Guest58303 [09:28] Photoguy, run winecfg and check the Drives tab === gcolley is now known as GColley [09:29] gnutron: well I changed my device drivers and saved, do I need to reboot or reinstall this xserver.xorg? [09:29] amdpox, and gnutron Good points. === sean is now known as Guest16412 [09:30] Ok, but I'm on Windows now.. [09:30] I have big problem .. my ubunu can not get any package from repository [09:30] Zealot12: what version? [09:30] Using Rosetta srtone. [09:30] Zealot12: what version ubuntu [09:30] Photoguy, you'll have more luck with interactive support if you can interact ;) [09:30] what's the linux equivalent of ipconfig? [09:30] danaka, ifconfig [09:30] thanks [09:30] Right. [09:31] I check repository for example http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com but when I apt-get install . can not find package but when I manual get with wget I can ... [09:31] gnutron: oh I am on Intrepid I believe (its 8.10) [09:31] danaka: you can also display single interfaces with ifconfig eth0 for example [09:31] mrglinux, have you apt-get updated recently? [09:31] Zealot12: lsb_release -a in a term. intrepid did away with xserver.xorg [09:31] amdpox yes I had [09:31] btw, I did update-rc.d -f gdm remove which worked [09:31] When I am changing services, I normall just adjust the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d, but I don't usually suggest others try it that way. [09:32] Anyone know anything about HD Audio? [09:32] ddoom: cool. i just learned something, thx [09:32] but it hase a problem im sure.. I could not install anything [09:32] I have to get with wget [09:33] How do I identify which process is sending packets regularly on a particular port? [09:34] gnutron: I says "No LSB modules are available" then it lists the Ubuntu distributor ID and release info [09:34] Hew: install wireshark [09:34] Zealot12: yeah, thats what it does. [09:34] gnutron: Done, I can see packets being sent from a certain port. How do I find which process is doing it? [09:35] hello, if I wanna use a usb memory as boot device instead of a cd, and burn the iso to the usb memory instead, what file format should the usb memory be, and can I just unpack the iso and copy the files to the usb memory or do I have to use some program?

I followed the instructions, it said the driver was installed successfully, restarted, and was told no display device was found. [09:44] danaka: ktorrent allows encryption, if you dont have kde libs already installed they will be needed too [09:44] alright thanks [09:45] brandan: no, it needs connecting to a system for power and controling to be formatted [09:45] brandan→ start from a CD, format it using the tools on the CD [09:45] does anyone know of a xxx-commander (like gnome-commander) that asks automatically for sudo password when trying to do something restricted (like editing a file in /etc)?

[10:08] y friend installed from the same disc. [10:08] lianimator: Aidacity can reduce noise by playing with frecquencies but you'll never have a good sound [10:08] afancy: i think its saying there library 'pam' missing [10:08] youshaoyun: Please keep it on topic and family friendly [10:08] afancy: lemme guess... libpam ? [10:08] LoveGuru: yes,i see, but i dont know which library [10:09] gregseth: there is many libspam, but in dont know which one [10:09] lianimator: download audacity, put an hipass filter on your sound and delete high frequencies (perhaps some mid freqs) until your sound is clean enough [10:09] i tried to find the solution at forums.. no success :( [10:09] OK [10:09] Tch23: and audacity can do this on-the-fly? [10:09] lianimator: maybe you'll even find an hiss filter built in [10:10] or maybe he'll buy something sensible instead of trying to use a laptop for audio related stuffs :P [10:10] lianimator: nop audacity have to calculate stuff === PKnull is now known as Pooky [10:10] Tch23: I'm using my microphone as playback [10:10] afancy: not sure if this is helpful: http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-admin@postgresql.org/msg05772.html [10:10] lianimator: if you want real time effect, it's gonna be painful [10:10] lianimator: well...a little bit more complicated [10:11] how come when i set up a wired connection in network manager when i add the netmask as 255.255.255.0 it will hcange it to 24 ?? [10:11] Im trying again.. if again failed.. Ill not try again..

[10:11] kamenoko, :) as in they were turned off? [10:11] lianimator: download jack, download some LADSPA from synaptic, [10:11] nah, it was turned on [10:11] daftykins: you can get reasonable SoundBalster PCMCIA card which will do ok audio sampling but yeah for audio stuffs I'd probably jump a mac [10:11] ah ok, cool [10:11] once i had to confirm a send, it worked great [10:12] onboard sound from a laptop is always going to be highly susceptible to EMI [10:12] daftykins: dont you just love when peolple dont check the disk at any point then moan the install isnt right [10:12] aaaa``: how did you install? Do you have windows as well? Did you erase the whole disk or use existing partitions? [10:12] lianimator:then jackrack or some realtime effect soft... then hook up stuff like that in jack : Mic In->Jack Rack ->output [10:12] and cosmic rays [10:12] ActionParsnip1, ja :D [10:12] lianimator: don't forget to set up latency as low as you can without having xruns... [10:13] lianimator: if you don't understand what i'm saying...well...RTFM dude... there's a lot of good tutos [10:13] !rtfm | Tch23 [10:13] Tch23: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

[10:14] afancy: im not good with libs, maybe someone else can help translate [10:14] ubottu: rooo... I know that I'm speaking to a bot...but I'm wounded [10:14] ActionParsnip1: it said the pam is not installect corredtly [10:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:14] lianimator, Tch23: the "go away and find it yourself" attitude isn't welcome here. If you're going to help, be helpful. [10:14] afancy: then reinstall it [10:15] i feel stupid for asking for this but... how do i launch a command in a way that makes it continue even if i log out? [10:15] !screen [10:15] screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [10:15] i have to do a lenghty geocoding and wanted to be able to turn off the client machine [10:15] Flannel: I knom man... I should have said "it's out of my reach"... [10:15] Polysics: theres something called screen that does it or something ( i believe ) [10:15] lianimator: is it clearer [10:16] A script im trying to run in init.d needs full network access before it can run, is there a way I can implement this? [10:16] lianimator: or d'you need some more explainations? [10:16] chimp thats already done [10:16] hi all [10:16] At the minute it seems to run too early, and doesnt connect [10:16] I'm trying to run Rosetta stone, but when I try to run (under Wine) it says "please insert correct cd-rom" [10:16] chimp: innit sciprts are run as root [10:16] Tch23: Sounds good. Thanks. [10:16] I have it in a physical drive. [10:16] Photoguy, wine won't map the CD to the Linux system CD mount point automatically [10:16] Tch23: thanks, I'm installing jack-rack [10:16] Ok.. [10:16] ikonia: I realise that, its simply when the script is run from bootup it doesnt find the server its supposed to connect to [10:16] but does once its booted [10:17] chimp that doesn't mean it needs root [10:17] ahh sorry, badly worded [10:17] Polysics: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-776385.html [10:17] ActionParsnip1, screen is GREAT, thanks :-) [10:17] What i mean is i need the computer to have fully connected to the network, before the script is run [10:17] Polysics: np man [10:17] it's useful for a variety of things [10:17] Flannel: sociological statement : It's weird cause forums push people to "RTFM" and find by themself... While IRC don't.... It may be because forums have limited space while IRC don't... I think I got a forum behavior in the wrong place [10:18] chimp then order it after the networking setup [10:18] So how do I assign it? [10:18] ikonia: How do I do that? [10:18] chimp: you could have it test the connectivitys at the strat of the script. Once all are ok, run the next bits [10:18] How do i make it run last [10:18] Photoguy, not sure how WINE maps a CD drive [10:18] chimp look at the order of the scripts in /etc/rc2.d [10:18] Oh.

[10:19] Photoguy: is there any option to point the 'cd drive' to a folder on the system [10:20] is there any reason for me to backup ~/.gvfs? [10:20] Ok, I'll look into it. [10:20] Photoguy: like rosettastone.exe -source="C:\somefolder\" [10:20] Photoguy: run the exe with /? on the end [10:20] Photoguy: or maybe theres a reg hack to get round [10:20] hmm.

[12:04] hi all - i have intrepid installed but would like to have open office 3 - i have seen on the web insructions to add another repo and then it is possible to upgrade to it - will this cause any issues later when ubuntu releases the update - woudl i be better to wait? [12:04] Hi, could anybody help me on this problme? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/94789/ [12:05] steveccc: ubuntu won't get the update to oo.o3.. we only see bug fixes and security update after release === juro is now known as Guest55745 [12:05] allsystemsarego: i didnt upgrade bios till now, because i dont want to mess up something (and ppl with same error reported no improvement yet) [12:05] I have re-installed everything for VPN pptp connections, I restarted the system, I created egain the VPN profile, but when connectin the same message: CONNECTION FAILED, I have put my syslog file regarding the VPN connection here : http://pastebin.com/m527448a7 [12:05] Please, help [12:05] ardchoille: oh ok so i will need to wait for next version for 3 to be available - I think i will update from the other repo then - there isnt anything linked to the open office packages is there? [12:06] The syslog file says that the client gets connectected, however the "modem hung up" ¿?¿?¿? [12:06] steveccc: I don't know anything about oo.o 3, sorry [12:06] afancy, you sure you have python installed? [12:06] ardchoille: thats fine - thanks for replying [12:07] looks like a python related error [12:07] oh wait.. i'm actually wrong [12:08] naah.. i'm right :P [12:08] how can i check whether ipv6 is disabled or not? [12:08] DSDT thats the problem here with not finding the harddisc: the windowsOS are better in understanding male-coded code... whereas linux doesnt accept the code if it is wrong! so the normal solution is to re-write the DSDT code ... but i dont want to fuck the hardware =) [12:08] how do I prevent a usb hard drive from mounting in hardy so I can partition it? the system->pref->removable media now doesn't have actual removable media settings in it [12:08] i'm experiencing frequent messages in the console saying 'heci: schedule work the heci_bh_handler failed error=0' . The error is non fatal, but noticed some sudden spikes in load. Google didn't really turned up to much useful information, i would appreciate if someone could turn me in the right direction to track down what the problem is. ( cannot reproduce, happens randomly but frequently. ubuntu 8.04 server with constant heavy disk i/o load. [12:08] howdy! am I the only one for whom the gnutls update broke https access in firiefox, such as to gmail? [12:09] ericrost, you want to partition on gparted? [12:09] Q-FUNK, you not in UDS? [12:09] well I was actually trying to use parted since gparted seems to scan forever atm [12:09] ericrost, you can tell gparted to umount the partitions [12:09] Q-FUNK, no idea, but I would check in #ubuntu+1 [12:09] ompaul: hiya! unfortunately not. [12:09] ericrost, or sudo umount -a [12:09] I can unmount it just fine [12:10] usamahashimi, ifconfig [12:10] when I try to commit changes it automounts again [12:10] ompaul: why +1? this is on intrepid [12:10] its a usb hdd [12:10] allsystemsarego, it gave a lot of output? [12:10] ahh [12:11] usamahashimi, pastebin it and post the link [12:11] allsystemsarego, ok [12:11] so, any idea? [12:11] Q-FUNK: I am up to date and don't have that issue in ff [12:11] or just I can start restarting in XP to work XD? [12:11] anyone answer me, haaad to get kids up. [12:11] ericrost, but it automounts after aplying your changes? [12:13] it automounts before committing changes making them fail, its a known behavior with automounting of removable media enabled [12:13] but hardy moved the spot to disable it and I can't figure out where it is [12:13] I have to believe this is an Ubuntu problem... I have a server that of course uses port 80. I have an application that needs to connect to the internet to get content... I'm assuming that it might be acting like a browser since it too needs port 80. When the application is run it immediately fires back with a tcp connection error at port 80, no route to host. I've shut down apache, redirected ports at the router, shut down port [12:13] s, etc.. anything I can do to all this app to access through port 80? [12:14] CaptainMorgan: what sort of applicatoin is that? [12:15] if its "acting like a browser" it shouldnt need anything at all, ie port forwarding [12:15] check routing and resolv.conf first [12:15] its nevermind if the daemon has port80 some http running, still the routing should work to access any outside port80 site [12:15] sinuc, it's a small crawler that I hand wrote in Scheme.. why should port forwarding be necessary? [12:15] dvdf [12:15] no route to host is not an ubuntu problem.. nor is it even an OS problem! (assuming that your server is the one running on port 80) [12:16] crawler? [12:16] this is a network problem [12:16] what does he crawl? [12:16] sinuc, the application works fine when I physically leave the network ... so it's something inside the network that's not allowing it to access [12:16] yea, however, i starte with check routing and resolv.conf [12:16] consider. [12:16] nat, dunno [12:17] anyone know command for install JRE? [12:17] its routing, iptables or simply your ns config if you use hostnames [12:17] we have a ltsp enviroment, and the ltsp servers(xubuntu) authenticates with M$ AD. we would like to get USB drives to work for the clients.. It used to work on both servers.. now, this has stopped working on 1 of the servers..prolly after a update.. thing is.. we dont really remember how we got it to work the first time around.. So what config files are involved here? [12:17] CaptainMorgan, can you browse any other webpages while you are "on the network"? [12:17] CaptainMorgan: aptitude install sun-java6-jre or alike [12:17] ops [12:17] cmv583: ^ [12:17] Ayyad, in a regular browser, indeed [12:18] sinuc, why do I need java? [12:18] cmv583, apt-get install sun-java6-jre [12:18] oh [12:18] and that application is run from that same computer that you try to connect from? [12:18] CaptainMorgan: i said ops :) [12:18] allsystemsarego: thanks for sorting out, lol [12:18] Ayyad, yes === asna is now known as Guest76928 [12:18] as a start you might wan tto try and telnet to that host on port 80 [12:18] which language is that? [12:18] ah yes - here is the problem reguarding the "can't find root partition" [12:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6088197 [12:18] see if its your app thats messing up [12:19] you dont happen to use some weird php stuff? [12:19] Ayyad, what do you mean telnet to that host? the host of the server? [12:19] sinuc, already said, Scheme. [12:19] yes sorry, telnet to the server on port 80 [12:19] allsystemsarego: thanx [12:19] ah [12:19] didnt even know, some sort of LISP [12:19] never hacked it [12:19] if not, you might want to install something like tcptraceroute see where the problem is (after making sure that your routes/resolve.conf and the likes are in good shape [12:20] if you can open a simple http site in your browser, mostly everything is alright with the routing [12:20] Ayyad, I don't telnet... got a command sequence? I'm only familiar with ssh [12:20] telnet [12:20] you can use netcat as well [12:20] unless he has some weird routes maybe just for the subnet that the server is on [12:20] sinuc, hmm.. did that, I"ll try again [12:21] hey yall, this is eating my brain, i cant choose a rez higer than 600x400 [12:21] hm, could be too, how do your routes look like then? [12:21] actually 800x600 [12:21] moDumass: thats usually good to read :) [12:21] but not widescreen and not 1440x900 [12:21] ah [12:21] ouch! [12:21] allsystemsarego: I keep getting error from frostwire that it couldn't open JRE, that I need new version? command says i'm fully updated? [12:21] you need a mode line in your xconf [12:21] happy fun googlin [12:21] sinuc yeh, yeh it is....

[12:22] Ayyad, ok, telnet got me through and returned what I see often from the application: Your browser sent a request this server could not understand. Bad Request 400 [12:22] FloodBot2: fuck you, honestly useless bot im helping not spamming fuck you [12:22] and now kick me [12:22] go ahead.

[12:24] wllwe where is my mounted ntfs partition [12:24] How can I preseed ubuntu-restriced-extras? [12:24] well* [12:24] actually gimme a sec [12:24] cyme, use gnome-commander, it's easier [12:24] cyme, type fdisk -l that should show what it is. mount will show where its mounted [12:24] allsystemsarego: wherein the problem lies, what about command for frostwire? i have .exe. file installed, ahving trouble installing in linux [12:25] I believe that the 400 error is caused by a malformed request to the server (i could be wrong) [12:25] cyme, sudo fdisk -l rather [12:25] cmv583, why an .exe file, I thought it was the Linux version of frostwire [12:27] allsystemsarego: me too, i'm kinda new,lol:-[ [12:27] cmv583, sudo apt-get install frostwire [12:27] ah yes - here is the problem reguarding the "can't find root partition" // http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6088197 where to find a nice dsdt? [12:28] nup installed, shouldnt "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ask me anything about graphics, mine doesnt [12:28] cmv583, you need gtk-gnutella which is equivalent to frostwire [12:28] moDumass, as of ubuntu hardy it doesnt work anymore all the Xorg configuration is done through xrandr [12:29] usser_: says can't find package [12:29] cmv583, "sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella" [12:30] Is there IRC room about image processing and matlab? [12:31] usser_, thanks, il look that up [12:31] zhjawe: i dont think matlab has native image processing? in our lab we use openCV [12:32] cmv583, hm it may not be in the repos after all. i don't remember how i got it installed... you may need to get it from frostwire.com [12:32] cmv583, get the .deb file not .exe [12:32] does anyone here think something like .mac for ubuntu would be useful? [12:33] usser_, what would have caused this, i didnt mess with any video settings [12:33] .mac? you mean haveing a tool to mount macOS-files? [12:34] moDumass, nothing it was a political decision all we've moved to configuring xorg on the fly... dpkg-reconfigure was conflicting with that philosophy [12:34] zhjawe→ you should look for any matlab-related rooms [12:34] okey some1 said gnome-commander i got it but i cant get to the wine dir [12:34] ok, cool [12:35] does anybody know how can i uninstall googlearth? [12:35] sken, depends on how you installed it. [12:36] i nstalled it by terminal [12:36] sken, that tells us very little.. the thing exists as medibuntu packages/repo. or as a download from the google homepages [12:36] or you could of downloaded a .deb and used that. [12:37] okey can some1 tell me how to select the ~./wine dir in gnome-commander [12:37] yes with a deb dr_willis64 [12:37] funciona esto? [12:38] actually i installed it twice with different ways dr_willis64 [12:38] sken, then you use the package manager tools to remove it. [12:38] sken, no idea how the 'different ways' will affect things. [12:38] is there an equivalent to debians archive.debian.org, ie a mirror i can grab packages for old releases? [12:38] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgdal1-dev: Depends: libcurl4-dev or libcurl-dev E: Broken packages [12:39] dustrial: no .mac is a internet based disk that enables the os to sync bookmarks, files from home directories etc basically to sync your machine so which ever machine is on you have an environment bought in plus access to an internet based disk for backups etc - thus I am asking if people think this would be useful and questioning whether its somthing people may pay a little to canonical for? [12:39] sken, if i recall right the .bin installer from google, insttalls all the files to a directory in the users home directory. Ive not used that .bin in ages [12:39] so can you tell me how to uninstall it? [12:40] steveccc: imho i think it can be archived easier with workarounds [12:40] okey can some1 tell me how to select the ~./wine dir in gnome-commander [12:40] cyme: .wine is a hidden file, you need to select " show hidden files" option [12:40] usser_, what if xrandr doesnt show anything other than 640x480? [12:40] kk [12:40] Good morning/afternoon/night. [12:41] evening* [12:41] hi [12:41] anyone have an ati HD 3400series (with compiz) ? [12:41] I need help related to YouTube. [12:41] sken, the .bin file installed to a directory in the users Home dir.. just delete the dir. [12:41] whats wrong with youtube [12:41] sken, but the .bin installer might be more up to date then the one in the repos [12:42] dustrial: i agree you could setup something with rsync or ftp etc but .mac is in theory easy to use for non techies and also supplies the storage which people would have to sort out for themselves - i think its a good idea but just want to ask everyoine [12:42] everyone even [12:42] Hello everybody, I need help because since last update 3 days ago my evolution does'nt fetch any account, I check all config, and seems to be right.. is very important for me. [12:42] kern: the video doesn't load. The black background of the video player doesn't appear. I get a whole white bg. [12:42] moDumass, that means you have incorrectly installed drivers or a weird monitor. theres a way to force resolution in xrandr if you're sure your monitor supports it [12:42] moDumass, i gotta go to work. good luck with that [12:42] !give test [12:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about give test [12:42] * ataufik gives test a football stadium [12:43] * teear gives test a rugby ball [12:43] Fret18 have u tried reinstalling flash-player?

If you used the .deb - use the package manager.. also simple...

NAT doesnt seems to be working right and i wonder if it is couse I didnt create a bridge. But i thought bridges are only needed to put together eth1 and a wireless card. but sinde I have only 2 normal network cards (eth0 and eth2) is it needed? thx [12:47] saurabh: System, Admin, Hardware drivers [12:47] anyone managed to get ibm r50e laptop 56k modem working?

[12:51] Dr_Willis64 - yeah but the bridge is used to put together one network card with a wireless card on one side (internat network) and one other network card on the other side for the external connection. I have only 2 network cards, one external and one internal. I wonder if the internal card needs to be in a bridge "alone" to change the way the firewal/NAT affects it... but ill take a look at the pages ubottu sent me first [12:51] anyone have an ati HD 3400series (with compiz) ? [12:51] Fret18, yeah but an easier method might be to go to synaptic and search adobe-flashplugin [12:52] 234 [12:54] Hi [12:54] where i can download eee 900 Xandros ?

[13:25] skunkworks_ typo sorry [13:25] LMAO, I knew that... I'm such a dork. Thanks gregd and ikonia [13:26] <[biabia]> help plz. so i had a pc with only xp on it so when i installed ubuntu i repartitioned it so some space is allocated for xp and some for ubuntu. i wanted to add a third os, but i cant figure out how to change the size of the ubuntu partition [13:26] ikonia: no problem :) [13:26] [biabia] use a tol call gparted, but you need to do it form a liveCD as you can't reszie a partition while it's in use [13:26] <[biabia]> ohhhhhhhh!!! ya [13:26] <[biabia]> i can do that [13:26] anyone know code to fix flashplayer? [13:27] <[biabia]> thanks :) [13:27] cmv583 ther is nothing wrong with flash player [13:28] Xorg takes >180MB is this normal ? === hc is now known as iositd [13:28] ikonia: maybe it's firefox then, keep losing my pull-down tabs and can't change download folder, can't play flash video [13:29] hi all, there's something with my eth0, although the network's set to auto DHCP, my card is not detecting it. How do I debug this? Anyone?? [13:29] join #networkmanager [13:29] anyone knows any alternative to remastrsys backup suite? [13:29] giganto: run dhclient against it manually to get some debugging [13:30] how can i install sql converter on ubuntu 8.10..? [13:30] sql converter ? [13:30] ikonia:spreadsheet to sql command converter... [13:31] repo's are slow :( [13:31] How would I go about doing the following: I have a drive containing 2 windows partitions and 1 linux partition. I want to move the linux OS to a new drive, take out the old one and put in the new one. New drive is accessible through USB (though I'm unsure which mount options to use). Should I boot into linux, is there a way I can easily copy over everything and can I in the same operation use a larger target partition? [13:31] Also, I take it I have to reinstall the bootloader, but I doubt I can do that while the new partition is still on USB. [13:32] This is Ubuntu 7.04. [13:32] MacGyverNL 7.04 is no longer supported [13:32] Though I doubt that would really make a difference. [13:32] ikonia: Does that in any way change the operation I want to perform? [13:32] MacGyverNL: you need to boot from a livecd, mount your new disk, copy the ubuntu partition's data to it, put grub on the correct disk, and change the fstab and menu.lst [13:32] ikonia, hi, I did a paste bin of the result of dhclient http://pastebin.com/d7ec593f7 [13:33] MacGyverNL: yes because 7.04 does not have the same libata configuration as 7.10 and greater [13:33] giganto you need to use sudo [13:33] giganto, try running it as sudo [13:34] hello..is there a way to download am.. auto install updates..write them in cd..and load them in pc that doesnt have internet?

I can use tar to copy over the data while preserving permissions, right? [13:35] MacGyverNL it's that easy [13:35] hi! [13:35] thanks robb_m [13:35] giganto: it worked, you got an ip [13:35] !hi knusperfrosch [13:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === Malformation is now known as Lamer [13:35] how do i remove all packages except those ubuntu-minimal depends on? === Lamer is now known as SerialCoder [13:36] how can i install sql converter on ubuntu 8.10..? [13:36] ikonia: Oh, by the way, I made a mistake. It's 7.10, not 7.04. Same operation though? [13:36] ikonia, my problem was with eth0 though [13:36] giganto, one of your devices got an IP, just not sure which, whats the output of sudo ifconfig? [13:36] MacGyverNL: yup, but you may want to consider using uuid's in fstab and mnu.lst [13:36] menu.lst [13:36] giganto: then run it against eth0 [13:37] or if that doesnt work webas [13:37] <[c0re]> hi i cant find simple ccsm... any idea how to install it? [13:37] !clone | webas [13:37] webas: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:37] Halitech, im at the moment connected to wlan0, I think that's the device which got an ip [13:37] fstab is already using uuid's.

[13:40] Photoguy: this is what I told you earlier, but you must have misunderstood [13:40] Halitech, im currently staying in a hotel so I can't tell if the router's working. However, I got the hotel's IT people to test out the connection and it worked on their XP machine (person brought a XP laptop in to test) [13:41] Right, but when I try to install it says it needs dependencies. [13:41] Halitech, cable's definitely working and there's light on the port [13:41] Photoguy: then you're not using the medibuntu repo properly, pelase read that link ubottu posted to you [13:41] I've just discovered the weirdest thing ever. My computer runs faster after I suspend my computer. Usually, when I player 720p h.264 video, it stutters and is impossible to play, but after I resume from a suspend, it plays perfectly. Fresh boot, h.264 uses 100% cpu, after suspend about 80%. What's going on here? [13:42] giganto, ok, something doesnt look right with that send_packet: Message too long part [13:42] ripps→ the longer you run, the more things will get cached and preloaded [13:43] Halitech, mhmm, im new to linux... what can i do to fix this issue? [13:43] I'm trying to use QQ for Linux in AMD64 Ubuntu, but I can't change input methods, so I looked in /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules or whatever, and immodules lacks any kind of scim reference. I suspect this means that there isn't any kind of installed support for SCIM in with my 32-bit apps, how can I fix that? [13:43] Photoguy: are you on Intrepid? [13:43] gaelfx→ are you using Pidgin for your QQ chat? [13:43] Yes. [13:44] giganto, looking into it, its new to me as well [13:44] Photoguy: this page has stpe-by-step directions on how to add medibuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [13:44] magnetron: no, QQ just released a 'for Linux' preview, I'm using that [13:44] magnetron: But I tested this theory by suspending right after booting, and the I still had the performance gain. Usually I can play h.264, even when my computer has been on for several hours. [13:44] how can I install sql converter on ubuntu 8.10..?or can some one tell me is there such tool for linux b'cause i have used in windows......... [13:44] magnetron: I just forced the architecture on the install, and it works, except I can't type in Chinese in QQ [13:44] *can't [13:44] giganto, has the wired connection ever worked before? [13:45] gaelfx→ try some of the workarounds mentioned here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SCIM [13:45] Halitech, it worked at the previous hotel lol [13:45] ha6i: why dont you use the same tool under wine then?

Then remove interface-mtu, then run ifconfig eth0 mtu 1000 ???

The "resizefs" portion of operation has been running for over 90 minutes now ... and I have no idea how long it will run. Is a 90 minute duration to shrink 300GB to 100GB normal? Any idea of how much longer this will run? [13:56] smbd has more control on shared fs === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [13:57] I have 2 fixed HDDs on my PC.

[14:01] NicEXE: use a ubuntu live CD and take look at the HD and see that in fact the ubuntu hd is not touched [14:02] roadfish, but i think the amount of data that has to bee moved is more important [14:02] ZeroA4: too bad there isn't some kind of progress report for resizefs in GParted ... I suppose resizefs reports the size. [14:02] ... but GParted doesn't pass it on. [14:02] j_xinudsb: the ubuntu disc is not touched [14:02] roadfish, like in my case it was moving 160GB of data [14:02] my computer got a bad case of nerves , on 3rd kernel panic in space of 2 hours up time , info here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/83968/ , anyone any ideas, this is network related [14:03] Halitech, here u go, took a while http://pastebin.com/d571cb525 [14:03] ZeroA4: ok, so I'm moving half of what you're moving ... but at USB (and not SATA) speeds.

[14:29] rookeeeeeeeee: no you didn't, you only specified the path of the device to mount [14:29] giganto, probably a good idea [14:29] you didn't tall where to mount it [14:29] the device is an entire system HymnToLife [14:29] no it is not [14:29] thats what the ip address is HymnToLife [14:29] it is a directory within a filesystem [14:30] it needs to be mounted at another directory in the local filesystem [14:30] giganto, then run gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces and add iface wlan0 inet dhcp === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [14:30] any help with kernel panic from network use :) -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/83968/ [14:30] HymnToLife, im trying to mount an entire file system for networking purposes, do you get me?

[14:31] and if you think you know better, why are you asking ? [14:31] giganto, dang, so much for that idea [14:32] Halitech, lol ... [14:32] Hi. I think I've found a bug in the linux-headers package: I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and sound and nvidia modules aren't compiling. Further investigation showed that the symlinks in linux-headers-2.6.25-2-386 are pointing to the wrong place. Has anyone else seen this, perhaps? [14:32] rookeeeeeeeee In the future, please post a brief description of your problem and not just a link.. all on the same line.. thanks [14:32] Halitech, skip that part and add ifcae wlan0 inte dhcp? [14:32] giganto, yeah [14:32] Jack_Sparrow: the problem is clear as day [14:33] HymnToLife We always request they please post a brief description of your problem and not just a link.. all on the same line.. thanks [14:33] no mount point specified, but someone thinks he knows better, so I'm off [14:34] hey please i really need help i installed ubuntu last night and i can't use two HD i got [14:34] and please don't give me that BS, the link given is perfectly sufficient to explain the problem [14:34] HymnToLife may I have a brief pm thanks [14:34] could anyone help me with an nfs problem please? I'm trying to mount my ip address but keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/83973/. what am I doing wrong? [14:34] hi [14:34] can explain what sudo su -- does? [14:34] hi all [14:35] eerf: gives you a root shell [14:35] barrientos: have you looked for the Hdd's in "Places" ? [14:35] Does anybody here know what command gnome uses when you mount a drive from the Places menu? [14:35] eerf: no, hang on.. should be only one '-' there [14:35] eerf: and it's ugly, too, use "sudo -i" when you need a root shell, it's shorter and shinier [14:35] yes [14:35] hey...im trying to delete my boot partion with this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 ive done it before, but terminal is saying permision denied...how to i make it so that i do have permision [14:35] rookeeeeeeeee, have you created a mount point in fstab? [14:35] i can't get in through places either [14:35] Halitech, it now looks like this auto lo [14:35] iface lo inet loopback [14:35] iface wlan0 inet dhcp [14:35] barrientos: do they show up in you bios? [14:35] can i install the mobile linux version via bluetooth [14:36] how do i check that? [14:36] telexl: I know what sudo su -(one hyphen) [14:36] Halitech, no i havent. ok didnt know I had to [14:36] Casperov: are you logged in as root? [14:36] giganto, no mention of eth0? [14:36] eerf: sorry.. it looked like one - on my tty [14:36] rookeeeeeeeee, yes you do [14:36] telexl: I am asking sudo su --(two hyphens) [14:36] eerf: ah, the two hyphens are to "separate su options from the arguments supplied to the shell" (man su) [14:36] would someone show me output of `which {chkconfig,insserv}` .. maybe it needs roots privilegues .. thanks .. i have not ubuntu but have a customer on line [14:36] thanks [14:37] sometimes when tray icons appear/disappear, some of them overlap another one (visually only. transparent parts show the image of the icon that was there before.) anyone seen this behavior? or understand the problem? [14:37] Halitech, that's the whole file after i added "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" [14:37] telexi: just logged in normally...how do i log in as root [14:37] !root > Casperov (Casperov, see the private message from ubottu) [14:37] giganto, ok, add another line with eth0 and the same info but changing wlan0 to eth0 [14:37] Casperov: I always do 'sudo su -' [14:37] telexl: why not "sudo -i"? [14:38] Casperov: that kinda ties in what I was talking with the others about, here [14:38] Halitech, after that?? [14:38] giganto, yeah [14:38] pulseaudio error: W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.

[14:38] LjL: hmm, yeah, you're right.. [14:38] LjL: thanks, cab you explain in more detail? [14:39] save the file and restart networking [14:39] LjL: there are so many different ways to get a root shell. [14:39] *can* [14:39] ok...how do i get root power :) [14:39] lianimator-> try on a terminal, xrefresh [14:39] telexl: well, "sudo -s" and "sudo -i" are the ones that make sense, the others are either dangerous or just redundant ("sudo -i" corresponds to "sudo su -", while "sudo -s" corresponds to "sudo su", but there's no real reason to chain sudo and su) [14:39] !sudo [14:39] 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, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [14:40] Casperov: sudo [14:40] Casperov: Type sudo before the command. [14:40] ok cool [14:40] thanks [14:40] Yw. [14:40] LjL: coo. I'll use sudo -i from now on. [14:40] barrientos: try "sudo fdisk -l" and pastebin the results [14:40] مرحبا [14:40] cool i mean.. [14:40] Halitech, i ran the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and ... nothing happened?

[14:42] Halitech, here http://pastebin.com/d6d857b1d :D [14:42] LjL: thanks, can you explain about sudo su -- in more detail? [14:43] I did "killall lashd" and it's working again [14:43] giganto, looks okay, lets try to bring it up sudo dhclient eth0 [14:43] eerf sudo su is not the best choice [14:44] I want to download xubuntu and every time I download the .iso file from the web site, it dos'nt work. am I doing something wrong? [14:44] hey guys i just got a new computer for the first time in many years and its got all kinds of temp sensors and stuff. When i look with acpi -V it looks like all the cooling is off - just wondering where i should look for turning on/off fans etc as i've never had it before - or is it all definitely automatic? [14:44] Halitech-> dont let him bring up two nics on same subnet on same host, unless you give him advise to change the route table to make it work [14:44] arbel are you running md5 on the download to make sure you got it [14:44] Jack_Sparrow: then what is the best? [14:44] i know i've had laptops in the past where the cooling didn't work/worked differently in linux so i want to make sure [14:45] eerf sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps [14:45] n8tuser, he's connected wireless to a seperate location [14:45] I don't know [14:45] !md5 [14:45] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: what about KDE? [14:45] Halitech-> cool..thats why i specifically said same subnet same host just to be clear [14:45] eerf: "sudo su --" alone is the same as "sudo su". if you put something after the "--", it gets passed as arguments to your shell (for example, bash) [14:45] arbel when you look at the disk you burn do you see one *.iso file of many files [14:45] Thanks all. I might be back, this is interesting. [14:46] Any pointers on using Ubuntu as a dom0, running Xen under Ubuntu, then Fedora 10 or Mac OSX under Xen? Or am I absolutely nutz?

[14:48] Now we even have tinyurls in the bot. People stop this plague. [14:48] ripps, I don't think it mounts drives, it just shows the mounted drives. Something else in the pref controls that. [14:48] #ubuntu-pl [14:49] Halitech-> it is a risk having both same ip range from your controlled environment and the uncontrolled neighbors :P [14:49] hi. i need help getting around problem with installing ubuntu 8.10, if it's even going to be possible for me. it looks like the installer uses a kernel that has a bug that has prevented some people from being able to install. unfortunately my hardware is a victim of this bug and it's preventing me from being able to install [14:49] Are there any OO alternatives? The suite is terrible. Unlike all OS software, it mimicks MSFT Office to the core, and fails horribly. [14:49] onetinsoldier, maybe you should try the "alternate" install image [14:50] !checksum [14:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about checksum [14:50] n8tuser, true, guess we just need to cross fingers [14:50] Halitech, here http://pastebin.com/d6d857b1d [14:50] Halitech, net's slow, sry [14:50] king, koffice ? [14:50] onetinsoldier-> does it have to be ubuntu 8.10? have you tried other distros? suse and fedora comes to mind [14:50] dos it use the same kernel? i think it does and therefore would not work for me either [14:50] node357, On GNOME? [14:50] !webcam [14:50] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [14:50] How do you people feel about polluting GNOME with KDE apps and vice-versa? [14:50] hi can i know how 2 play .DAT files plz [14:50] onetinsoldier, I'm not sure if it's the same kernel [14:50] n8tuser: xrefresh doesn't seem to fix the icon [14:51] mahidhar, vlc [14:51] mahidhar: i have no idea what a .DAT file would be [14:51] Hi [14:51] LjL, Commonly found on VCDs. [14:51] lianimator-> oh well, if they overlap, i guess you have to move one of them away [14:51] giganto, same info as before, what was the output of sudo dhclient eth0 ? [14:51] onetinsoldier: hey onetinsoldier, which bug are you talking about? [14:51] node357: i can try it, but it's alsmost certain it uses the same version of the kernel. what i need is a way to install from an already existing linux installation [14:51] king: in which case they would merely be renamed mpegs? [14:51] king vlc is not able 2 play it [14:52] LjL, exactly [14:52] n8tuser: it's not really an overlap. it's a shadow of the previous tray icon in the line. [14:52] .dat or .DAT could be any kind of data [14:52] LjL, I guess so. That is the only way VCD players can play it. In the MPEGAV folder structure. [14:52] mahidhar, Is it a VCD? [14:52] onetinsoldier, well, worth a shot I guess, don't know much about that bug... [14:52] mahidhar: how about you run "file filename" on the file so you can be sure what it actually is [14:52] I have a geforce 9500 card and when i install the drivers through the prompt on 8.10 it kills x and all i get in tty. On 8.04 I do not encounter the problem. I think it is the new xorg. If i install the drivers manually will that help? [14:52] jimcooncat, But he wants to 'play' it. You don't 'play' databases [14:52] Halitech, oops, sry. Lets try that again http://pastebin.com/d2039eb0f [14:52] LjL it is a viedo file [14:52] file /path/filename.dat should tell you what kind of file it is [14:52] king ya [14:52] king: no, it mounts drives. I'm pretty certain of it. [14:52] * zhangzhi help!after i just installed the ubuntu with autologin option ,i forgot the login password.how did i do ? [14:52] anyone know if there's a way to control cpu cooling etc from linux? [14:52] badawi: i might have to try and dig around to find an exact bug report number or whatever. do a search on ubuntu 8.10 end_request [14:52] mahidhar, Open mplayer, right click VCD - play [14:53] mahidhar, if you google there is also a complex mplayer string to directly play a VCD if nothing else works [14:53] lianimator-> i dont know how to fix that..i gave you xrefresh hoping it will repaint it and fix it [14:53] giganto, something screwy there [14:53] zhangzhi: boot into recovery mode and change it with "passwd username" [14:53] Halitech, yer ... I dunno what's happening ... need to reinstall ?? [14:53] LjL thanks [14:53] king, I didn't mean a database file. I meant was that .dat has been used by lots of different (windows) programs over the years for all sorts of stuff [14:53] king where can i get mplayer [14:54] cheese not working, how to fix, i'm using ubuntu 8.10 [14:54] mahidhar, Add/remove software [14:54] giganto, I'd hate to go to that extreme since it was working at another location [14:54] !info mplayer | mahidhar [14:54] mplayer (source: mplayer): The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux.

[14:58] LjL, thanks [14:58] Halitech, but how would u explain the dhclient ?? [14:59] nvidiahelp: No idea, but I have seen other with the 9300 having trouble with the drivers [14:59] Halitech: it was working on 8.04 [14:59] LjL, that did the trick, thanks [14:59] giganto, dhclient is your computer and its trying to talk to the router/server [14:59] unb, not sure, whats the output of lsusb?

[15:06] best file-index-search-backend-thing? beagle? tracker? strigi? etc? [15:06] mahidhar: mplayer is in the *repositories* [15:06] !software > mahidhar (mahidhar, see the private message from ubottu) [15:06] What's better for / : ext3, xfs or jfs? [15:06] mahidhar: you install it using "sudo apt-get install mplayer", or any other standard installation method. NOT from a tar. [15:06] LjL: nope, i wish i could and i've tried to use my sata dvd drive to install almost every way forwards and backwards. but there may be 'something' i haven't tried. anyway, i can't do to what i believe is a bug in the kernel the install uses. do a search on ubuntu 8.10 end_request [15:07] unb, looks like it might be something with the kernel as even gentoo and fedora folks are having issues with that cam [15:07] s/install/installer [15:07] onetinsoldier, but then i fear that the kernel the installer uses is the same kernel that you'll get on a final install... [15:07] would anybody tell me how to look at my permissions on any given repo (using svn) [15:07] What other command(s) besides update-rc.d is there to manage init script processing for various runlevels? I'm trying to get a list, similar to chkconfig --list on rpm distros. [15:08] Halitech: ok, than nothing i can do... the pulseaudio also having problem. [15:08] cannonball thats teh command [15:08] Halitech, but using wireless like this is kinda dangerous as well lol, people can just hack in [15:08] cannonball: none is installed by default [15:08] cannonball: check config isnt' setup to with with upstart [15:08] LjL mplayer is not there in add\remove program [15:08] cannonball: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf [15:08] cannonball, chkconfig is available in ubuntu [15:08] mahidhar: Add/Remove only shows GUI applications, and mplayer is not one. [15:08] mahidhar: get mplayer from synaptic [15:08] mahidhar: type "sudo apt-get install mplayer". [15:09] giganto, most of the script kiddies wouldn't know what to do even if the could get in [15:09] LjL: ahhh, but i can always compile and install my own kernel if i can just get the OS installed. i already have a .config waiting for kernel that i have compiled myself recently... config-linux-2.6.28-rc7-git1 [15:09] Anyone have any ideas on the Nvidia problems? [15:09] i think i'm going to go for strigi - anyone had any problems with strigi or good experiences with other indexers? [15:09] unb, I don't use pulse so no ideas for you [15:09] onetinsoldier: you could perhaps install from a USB drive? [15:09] Eyh! Is the RT-Kernel ready to rock with Intrpid? [15:09] what's the ncurses version of synaptic called? i'm not talking about apt-get btw [15:09] Halitech: what you use than? maybe i should change too. [15:10] LjL k i m getting it ... tnks alot [15:10] unb, I use alsa [15:10] !info rcconf | cannonball [15:10] rcconf (source: rcconf): Debian Runlevel configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.21 (intrepid), package size 19 kB, installed size 116 kB [15:10] badawi, aptitude is what you're thinking of [15:10] badawi: aptitute [15:10] Halitech, alsa does not preclude pulse [15:10] *aptitude [15:10] hi guys..anyone has notebooks? well i dont even see where to modify screen brightness [15:10] !jaunty [15:10] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - UDS December 8th-12th in Mountain View, CA, USA - Jaunty doesn't even really exist yet, but join #ubuntu+1 for help and discussion. [15:10] alsa is the driver archetecture, pulse is a mixing daemon [15:10] rjune: zibri yes it is thanks [15:10] Halitech, yeah i guess, but if you can just capture the packets lying around, and if u know what to look for ... its good enough ?? I dunno much about hacking wireless, I have been trying to do it so that I can get some free wireless back where I stay cos its a pain in the ass to register for one/even be willing to pay for it I thought i'll just hack just to keep things simple lol [15:10] badawi: which is really not an "ncurses version of synaptic", as it's quite unrelated to synaptic, but yes, it's probably what you're looking for... [15:10] Halitech: ok, i will that too. [15:10] Fresh install yesterday, suggestions for a MP3/FLAC player? [15:11] <[c0re]> !info deluge [15:11] Package deluge does not exist in intrepid [15:11] !players > Trinitrogen (Trinitrogen, see the private message from ubottu) [15:11] rjune, huh? [15:11] Thanks everybody. I prefer commandline over gui or even ncurses apps, so the fact that chkconfig and sysv-rc-conf can both do it from CLI works for me. Again, thanks to all. [15:11] giganto, but then you run the risk of getting in trouble ;) [15:11] hello [15:11] Halitech, you said you didn't use pulse, you use alsa. they do two different things. alsa sits on top of the hardware, pulse sits on top of arts [15:12] Halitech, lol Im quite save, I know they don't know how to secure their wireless as well [15:12] i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions [15:12] LjL: nope... the thing is, even tho i get the end_request: Buffer I/O error in sector xxxxx from my sata dvd drive, the installer/live cd will finish loading up, but if you try to install to hard drive -or- use the option that writes the installer to usb stick, it bombs out with an error. wheni tried writing to usb stick and checked log file, it reported error #256 [15:12] rjune, ok, if you say so, I don't recall seeing pulseaudio installed [15:12] you may not have it installed, it's not required. [15:12] onetinsoldier: but you don't need to use the live CD to save to USB [15:12] rjune, but then again I'll admit I've never gone digging to see it [15:13] onetinsoldier: you can use several methods to do that from Debian, one of them is the program "unetbootin", there are others though [15:13] onetinsoldier: but - it *will* still be the same thing as the live CD, mind, just running from USB [15:13] Ha [15:13] dpkg -s pulseaudio [15:13] LjL: ah-ha! this is the kind of thing i beleive i am looking for, thank you! [15:14] ZeroA4: ok, the operation is done and took around 3 hours. thanks again for your comments. [15:14] How do you make Ubuntu suck less? [15:14] mib_a8eme5, be more specific about your problems. [15:14] random ranting will get you nowhere [15:14] onetinsoldier: note, i'm not particularly endorsing unetbootin, which is not an officially packaged application, and does ugly things such as calling "sudo" all by itself. it's just the only automated "live USB" makers that occurs to me. [15:14] mib_a8eme5 What are your problems? [15:14] mib_a8eme5: your question is very much generic. please ask specific questions. [15:15] mib_a8eme5, if you don't like it there are other options out there, like windows [15:15] rjune: that is if you ignore that ranting in and of itself doesn't make someone feel better. === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx [15:15] mib_a8eme5, I do. ranting may feel better temporarily, but does nothing to solve the underlying problem. [15:15] question regarding realtime sip peers.. what must i configure, so that asterisk re-reads a sip peer from the database? currently when a secret is changed in the database, asterisk does not recognise this change and the phone fails to register with the new secret. [15:15] LjL: ok, understood. i will have a look at unetbootin. i really need some alternate method other than cd and have been wondering if there isn't something. thanks again [15:15] Anyone else having problems with 9000 nvidia cards and ubuntu 8.10? [15:16] onetinsoldier, what about booting and installing from floppy? [15:16] mib_a8eme5: is there a problem we can help you with> [15:16] does anyone know if the load_cycle_count issue is solved in inteprid ibex? [15:16] kaii, I'm guessing, but doing a kill -1 on the asterisk pid *should* do what you want. [15:16] echan ^ [15:16] onetinsoldier: another possibility would be to just change your repositories from Debian to Ubuntu, cross your fingers, and dist-upgrade, but that's *very* prone to not only failure, but what is worse, "limited success" (i.e. a system that sort-of-works but is full of problems) [15:16] rjune: wouldnt this reinitialize anything ? [15:16] Someone knows how ubuntu works on acer aspire one? [15:17] I mean overall, like I think you have ubuntu-studio. Is there any version like ubuntu-sucksless? I mean, who calls this a end user OS? Its ok to delude yourself for a while. But look at it. Aren't there enough problems to post a warning saying, beware this is development buggy software? [15:17] -1 is a hup, normally it tells the daemon to re-read it's config files. [15:17] erish: didn't experience cycle count raising drastically since 8.04 [15:17] rjune: regarding asterisk, this is not a good idea. :) [15:17] kaii, asterisk has a cmd-line itself, and that probably has a way to do it. but I don't know what that is. [15:17] i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions [15:17] anyone experienced some problems with hardware and software by upgrading from gutsy to hardy (lts) ? [15:17] rjune: echan, wanted to post this question in #asterisk [15:17] hence I prefaced my statement with I'm guesing [15:17] :) [15:17] Halitech: is there such a method? i know there used to be. however, lately it looked to me as if Debian dropped the floppy netinst do to --> recent kernels being too big to fit on floppy netinst installer. does ubuntu have a floppy installer for 8.10? is so, where might i get it? [15:18] mib_a8eme5 what do you mean? it is pretty stable. Like all os's that you install yoursefl you should check that your hardware is up to snuff [15:18] Does anyone have experience with fixing an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card to work with ibex (ubuntu 8.10)? [15:18] !networkmanager [15:18] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [15:18] onetinsoldier, I think you end up using the debian boot floppies and then debootstrap it to get to ubuntu, let me see if I can find the link [15:18] echo [15:18] rjune: yes, asterisk rereads config on HUP .. and it does not kill active calls. i'm impressed [15:19] I was downloading a file with wget but the power turned off and teh download was ended short,how can I start downloading from where it last left off ? [15:19] rjune: but all realtime configuration that was loaded from database on demand vanishes. [15:19] I have a annoying problem on 8.10 , each time after boot the network dont work. I need to modprobe pcnet32 and then edit /etc/resolv.conf . I tried putting pcnet32 in /etc/modules but that did not help [15:19] Does anyone have experience with fixing an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card to work with ibex (ubuntu 8.10)? [15:19] I can't hear media from some web sites, what is the best plugin to use in firefox so that I can share sounds please? [15:19] UnknownUser56, you have to use wget c for that [15:19] I just don't understand, I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04 and I think it's quite awesome. [15:20] Halitech: ok, thanks for helping. if i can get a debootstrap method going that will probably work out good [15:20] UnknownUser56, that's "wget -c URL" [15:20] !xen [15:20] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [15:20] I woiuld love to use ubuntu, but myg raphics card is hated by it [15:20] ardchoille: i agree, and im testing 9.04 [15:20] I like ubuntu [15:20] hi, [15:20] i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions [15:20] allsystemsarego,many thanks [15:20] use gnone-do and you'll understand [15:21] i need help with configuring my dvbcard on ubuntu 8.10 [15:21] pls hlp me [15:21] kaii, sorry. [15:21] Can someone help me with configuring my ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card for ibex.. ubuntu hates it and I tired everything, with no good returning [15:21] that's expected though. [15:22] How much breakage can I expect upgrading a standard 7.10 desktop install (very few packages installed beyond the defaults) to 8.10 ? I'm no linux newbie, I can fix just about anything, but I'm more familiar with rpms than with debs, and am hoping that won't interfer with me too much. [15:22] Paw: what errors do you run into ? === garrett_ is now known as garrett88 [15:22] cannonball, worked well for me. [15:22] appiah: I cant run any special effects or my computer glitches and sometimes crashes [15:22] thank you for the feedback. [15:22] hi [15:22] onetinsoldier, here is the link to the debian floppies http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ [15:22] cannonball-> i dont recommend upgrading unless you have really a good reason you have to upgrade [15:22] Paw: are you running the ATI driver? [15:22] cannonball why are you on 7.10 [15:23] Paw or Vesa? [15:23] cannonball, follow the instructions on their website. [15:23] appiah: Basically it hates my graphics card, and yes i was running the driver, but forced to take it off because my computer kept crashing [15:23] rjune: theres no reason to excuse, you gave me a good tip :) [15:23] though that might take you from 7.10 to 8.4 to 8.10 [15:23] Halitech: ok, going to have a look at the link now [15:23] cannonball, which is what I actually did [15:23] Does someone know how to disable a PS/2 keyboard on an ubuntu box [15:24] Arnaud1, bios option? [15:24] i have a machine, it goes into screensaver mode and when you come out of it, the desktop does not return, any suggestions [15:24] can't acces bios, it's a remote host [15:24] shadowwulf: have the same problem ... disable compiz :) [15:24] i need help configuring my dvb card using dvb-utils.. can someone help me pls [15:24] shadowwulf: ati ? [15:24] Paw install this fglrx-control and see what you can do with it in configuring your Radeon card [15:24] shadowwulf❄ Does it not display the password dialog? [15:24] kaii, onboard and unknown ... damn compiz ... seems its screwing everything up [15:25] Hi, why would a partition stuck nautilus..?? [15:25] shadowwulf❄ You can always drop to another console and kill gnome-screensaver [15:25] nvidiahelp: It was the version that several people here had already installed, so I knew I would have no problems with my hardware (Dell with GeForce 8600 GT). It was before the 8.04 release, and I just haven't had time to upgrade since then. I'm taking a little time now :-) [15:25] rjune:it's a remote host, i don't acces to bios [15:25] hateball, its works fine all the way to the desktop until it goes idle [15:25] hateball: onboard.. SIS? [15:25] someone say my name so that I can see if my colors work please [15:26] hateball, then when you come back and desktop background shows but not the top and bottom panel [15:26] Arnaud1, not sure how. not sure why you would want to either. [15:26] olskolirc: [15:26] thanks [15:26] yw [15:26] shadowwulf❄ ah right... [15:26] onetinsoldier, not finding the link I was looking for on installing ubuntu from floppy [15:26] I think the driver for it is compiled into the kernel [15:26] i am not new to linux, but new to ubuntu > what is the package needed for the kernel sources? I want to compile my own kernel and it seems like all i have available are precompiled kernels [15:26] kaii, intel [15:26] hi.... [15:26] !hi | coky [15:26] coky: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:26] Heh, could not calculate the upgrade. So I'll dig a bit. [15:26] Arnaud1, in theory you could "disable" the port by rebuilding your kernel without that driver. [15:26] rjune: i thinks there is a keyboard issue, /var/log/message is growing again and again [15:27] hateball, so its a compiz issue yet again ? [15:27] Hi guys ... I can't seem to get phpmyadmin to work by going to 127.0.0.1 i get a file not found error :( [15:27] Arnaud1, what's the error in messages? [15:27] yeh...u di mna [15:27] rjune : no easier way ? [15:27] Arnaud1, not that I know of [15:27] rjune : stuff like Dec 11 16:34:36 luxin kernel: [17187385.200000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xc4 on isa0060/serio0). [15:27] Dec 11 16:34:36 luxin kernel: [17187385.200000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e044 ' to make it known. [15:27] hi.... [15:28] shadowwulf❄ Well I havent had it myself, so I'd go with what kaii says. Altho... for me it works normally, occasionally it wont display the password dialog to let me return to desktop, so I have to kill gnome-screensaver [15:28] Halitech: ok, roger. thank you all the same [15:28] hi coky [15:28] emmm... [15:29] hateball, kaii, ok thanks guys [15:29] Arnaud1: that sounds easy to fix. [15:29] did we just have a kernel update in the last day or so? [15:29] simplexio:tell me [15:29] does anyone know why, sometimes when i plug in a pendrive.. and even after running sudo nautilus.. i can't seem to delete files off the pendrive [15:29] could someone please walk me through this f$#@$n nfs stuff.:( im putting my all into it and not getting anything back [15:29] Arnaud1, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html [15:29] Arnaud1: hint. you pasted answer [15:30] inzi85: maybe hardware failure [15:30] rookeeee what is the issue? [15:30] i keep on running into a problem when i need to mount something [15:30] Arnaud1, loadkeys keyboard disable would do it. [15:30] mphill.. hardware failure? like how? [15:30] and that problem is what? [15:30] nm: i found it linux-source [15:30] Arnaud1, second line, says use "blah" to make it known. [15:30] is there anyone here that can help me with setting up a postfix/dovecot mail server? [15:31] aka map the key [15:31] it ranges from many things [15:31] inzi85: flash drives are only good for so many read / writes then they start to die. [15:31] ahhh ic ic [15:31] ok... being vague isn't going to help me help you... so pick an error and give it to me [15:31] mphill : thanks.. [15:31] inzi85: if you can not reproduce with another usb drive I would said the thumb drive is end of life [15:32] oh [15:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/83998/ [15:32] inzi85: personaly the only time that happens if with a linux file system on the usb drive and you don't have permissions [15:32] Hello ! [15:32] mphill :yah.. but i gave it permissions.. i mean i ran nautilus with sudo.. [15:32] Can someone here help me with a Xorg problem ? [15:32] are backports safe to use? [15:33] thats because your mounting wrong [15:33] you cant mount a network computer, you can however mount a network share [15:33] olskolirc: less safe than the main repositories, but they're generally pretty safe, mostly because only end-user applications that aren't dependencies of anything are in there [15:33] why cant i mount the entire computer? [15:33] rjune:don't understand [15:33] because you cant [15:33] only a share [15:34] can i mount a drive [15:34] mphill, inzi85: I had the same problem sometimes, but I have faulty USB connectors and it remounts the flash drive a few times ocasionally. Then files are "locked". Comes back to normal after next mount tho... [15:34] oh ok thanks LjL what is an example of something that is in backports [15:34] rookeeeeeeeee: if it's shared [15:34] Arnaud1, I linked to a page that I think has the instructions to disable the keyboard [15:34] rjune: what do you mean by blah ? [15:34] after an update yesterday KsystemLog does not start up anymore, i have only a tray icon for 20 seconds wich the disapears, what could be wrong? [15:34] oh i have to "share" it [15:34] I've installed the xorg packages from xorg-edgers [15:34] olskolirc: everything at http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/ or at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/ [15:34] now i get it [15:34] Arnaud1, Your two lines that you pasted say a key was pressed and I don't know what it is. do this to tell me what it is. [15:35] hi, when I open scanned books as pdf in evince, it often takes all my memory and freezes all so in the end I have to restart my pc [15:35] is there a decent way to search available packages through apt-get? i prefer command line over gui [15:35] so share out your c:\, then do 'sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.3/share_name /mount/point' [15:35] thanks [15:35] a lot [15:35] could there be a solution to this? [15:35] rjune : i tried this command but it does not work [15:35] My glxgears FPS increased from 400 to 900 on my Intel 965GM card [15:35] but [15:35] obhk___: using another PDF reader that doesn't cache everything into memory might be a solution [15:35] t3rror, aptitude search [foo] [15:35] LjL: any suggestions? [15:35] Arnaud1, which command? [15:35] fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit; 3600a [15:35] my keyboard is not correctly detected, it's in qwerty and some keys dont work as expected [15:35] rjune : setkeycodes e044 0xc4 [15:35] fatal: parameter smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout: bad time value or unit: 3600a [15:35] obhk___: well, i'm a KDE user so i use KPDF, but that's probably not the best idea on GNOME. let me look [15:35] kubuc: thx [15:36] ahh thanks josh [15:36] any idea what that indicates? [15:36] my nic card/wireless card just disappeared after a reboot. it sees that i have an eth card, but no wireless card. wtf happened? [15:36] So, how can I reconfigure my laptop keyboard ? Thanks [15:36] happens to mee sumtimes too [15:36] t3rror, also handy apt-file to search a file within all packages available [15:36] Quick question, Hardy has a bunch of solutions for ati radeon graphics cards, is there a way to downground to hardy from ibex? [15:37] inzi85: try remounting if files weren't locked earlier. I described my situation with both fat32 and etx filesystems... [15:37] Paw, yes but you will break your X [15:37] Arnaud1, ah, ok. I would look through the URL then and see if you can disable it completely [15:37] kubuc: i will grab it also, thx [15:37] Josh: thaks [15:37] obhk___: epdfview uses the same backend as evince (which may easily mean it gets the same issue). you could always try plain old xpdf, i guess [15:37] inzi85: no problem, hope that works :D [15:37] bouazza: what you mean? [15:38] i really have to delete ubuntu....but for some reason...i cant delete the bootloader.....i do not have a windows cd...i have those stupid acer recovery disks that do not allow me to fixmbr!! please help [15:38] LjL: thanks for the help [15:38] How can I find out which app is bound to a certain port? [15:38] rjune:ok [15:38] josh: nxt time my friend comes over i shall check it out [15:38] I'm trying to get postfix working but there's something bound to p25 already [15:38] kubuc: i am coming from a background in gentoo, just using ubuntu for boxee, but this thing is bloated [15:38] Oli``: man lsof [15:38] going to try and lean it up a little [15:38] Josh ": i'm very new to ubuntu.. using it for only about 6 - 7months.. so.. i'm not really good at it [15:38] t3rror, yes, i use debian myself most of the time [15:38] Josh : do u know how to use the dvb-utils? [15:38] Paw, the xserver-xorg-core from Ibex will not support the Ati/nvidia drivers from Hardy [15:38] Oli``: or try to telnet to it, maybe it will tell you [15:39] Casperov, look into super grub [15:39] Oli``: the lsof command should show that. i'm not really familiar with it tho, so look at the man page for it [15:39] Oli``: telnet localhost 25 [15:39] Halitech: wat does this super grub do? [15:39] !acroread [15:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread [15:39] inzi85: I use it for about two years now, but I'm still a begginer.. lots to learn and no time... [15:39] ahh, i see was too slow :-0 [15:39] "ESMTP Citadel server ready" =\ [15:39] bouazza: No I am saying, is there a way to downgrade to hardy, instead of using ibex.. [15:39] !acrobat [15:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat [15:40] obhk___: you may also want to file a bug against Evince (it would be interesting to try epdfview and see if there's the same problem - in which case, the bug should be filed against Poppler, i guess) [15:40] !fishing | badawi [15:40] badawi: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [15:40] Paw: as a rule, you can't downgrade - you need to find a Hardy CD and install fresh [15:40] !install psybnc [15:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about install psybnc [15:40] inzi85: no idea, never used DVB... [15:40] hehe [15:40] !fishing | dam0-away [15:40] dam0-away: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [15:40] josh : ahh ok no problem. [15:40] Casperov, my understanding is it will allow you to restore the windows mbr [15:40] slimey: ah I see, well do you think its worth it? or should i just wait for ati to fix it for ibex? [15:40] dam0-away: psybnc is not available in the repositories, however a few other bouncers are [15:40] josh : i need to find someone who does.. i hate rebooting in to windows all the time.. haha [15:40] anyone knows which channel to go to for web developments? [15:40] or wait for solutions to come out.. [15:40] like i need help creating a website [15:40] wtf, lspci doesn't even show my wireless card anymore [15:41] ok what ones are?

[15:43] inzi85: you could install a virtual instance of Windows, install DVB card there if it works under virtual machine and watch tv from there? DVB means Digital Video Broadcast, right?

[15:52] josh : but im not too sure it will work.. [15:52] Photoguy: you're using an invalid address for the Medibuntu repository in /etc/apt/sources.list [15:52] i get the same permission errors when i try to copy these files to a flash drive as well [15:52] Photoguy: remove the Medibuntu entries from that file or, if you do want to have Medibuntu available, /msg ubottu medibuntu [15:52] can I somehow make a smart release upgrade 8.04 -> 8.10? I use a custom built kernel and the update wants to add nvidia kernel modules, for an ubuntu kernel which I don't and won't ever use. along with 214 new packages which is basically crap as xorg video drivers which I neither use. [15:53] hi can anyone see the videos on ubuntu 8.10 on http://www.mako.co.il/ just click the first video on the front page [15:53] Photoguy, i might be easier if you pastbin /etc/apt/sources.list to see what wrong [15:53] !pm | Photoguy [15:53] Photoguy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [15:53] inzi85: wont hurt to try, right? and even if it fails, you'll have a Windows virtual machine which will save you from rebooting each time you need anything that works in Windows only.. [15:53] sketch: I can see them...did you install flash? [15:53] Ok [15:53] yah [15:53] i shall try it out tonight.. i think i have virtual box with me === lorenzo is now known as figo [15:55] can anyone see the videos on ubuntu 8.10 on http://www.mako.co.il/ just click the first video on the front page [15:55] inzi85 unless you have a really slow machine, but I have an AthlonXP 3000 laptop with 512megs of RAM and it really works like a charm. Unless you install antivirus and stuff, then it might slow down a bit. [15:55] sketch_, they want you to use WMP [15:56] yeah I saw that too [15:56] it still doesn't play after gstreamer and flash were installed [15:56] ahh.. [15:56] drowned : are you talking to me ? [15:56] Ok, here is the pastebin for sources.list: [15:56] sketch_, you can probably bypass it by extracting the URL from the source code. [15:56] http://pastebin.com/m43c5e2ae [15:56] crayzee how can I get the url for the video ? === alessandro_ is now known as KiNgOfKiLlEr91 [15:56] sketch_, but obviously thats a PITA. I'd just boycott the site ;) [15:57] its not for me its for people that use these computers [15:57] josh : moving to ubuntu from windows was the best thing that happend to me. .haha.. i've run a virtual box before.. it seemed towork pretty smooth.. although i think had better get myself a another RAM [15:57] Do anyone know how to use vidalia ? [15:57] sketch_, view - page source [15:57] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [15:57] if it was me i would and actually do boycott the site [15:58] halitech ok so I get the url now where do i put it ? [15:58] sketch_, use wget to download them [15:58] Photoguy: just remove the last line and add « deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free » instead [15:58] so anyone have a solution to my permissions problem? [15:58] I install git with apt-get install but I don't seem to have access to git itself. I try the git command and I get 'command not found' [15:58] wget in terminal [15:58] drowned: version of windows? [15:58] sketch_, yes [15:58] So I tried to reinstall and I was told it is already at the newest version [15:58] k [15:58] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [15:58] Any ideas? [15:58] i'll try it [15:59] But, I want to include non free. [15:59] saurabh open the audio and make sure the internal volume is not muted [15:59] sketch_, might work in vlc as well with the open url option [15:59] that happened to me on one pc [15:59] inzi85: of course I meant Virtualbox running great :) And the same with me - I've tried Linux a loooong time ago, and found it hard to use. But when I found Ubuntu I switched almost instantly [15:59] sketch_, you'd have to read the JS to find the URLs I'm afraid - its not obvious. [15:59] did you see any ? [15:59] ill try [15:59] no it is not muted [16:00] open the audio so you see 4 audio volumes [16:00] not just one [16:00] bcardarella_: if that's Git the revision control system that you're looking for, then "git" isn't the right package for that. the package "git" contains the "GNU Interactive Tools" collection [16:00] i see three audio volumes [16:00] LJL: I want to include the non free apps. [16:00] LjL: ah, lol [16:00] bcardarella_: you probably want the "git-core" package [16:00] noone has some good suggestion for the issue? [16:01] click device and check each one [16:01] Photoguy: and what makes you think that the line that i gave you won't achieve that? [16:01] LjL: cool, thanks [16:01] inzi85: and I also think about getting more RAM lately.. systems' getting messy and quite slow, can't run few heavy things at the same time (eg. Opera and Virtualbox)... [16:01] Oh, I thought it said non free.. [16:01] mk. fsck it then. [16:01] Maybe I'm just a dumb newbie. [16:01] :P [16:01] Photoguy: err yes, it says "free non-free", so that means it will include free apps, and non-free apps [16:01] Ok, gotcha. [16:01] :) [16:02] My GNOME terminal shows in the last but one line a blue status line that displays: "-- MOST: "stdin* (7,1) 7%". What program does cause this operating mode of the GNOME terminal? [16:02] So fresh istall time for ibex.. [16:02] * Paw cries [16:02] gim trying to install nome-globalmenu-0.4-svn964.tar.gz but when i install it then try to add it to my panel it says error do you want to delete it from the panel [16:02] how can i install the gnome global menu/? [16:02] !info most | bullgard4, i guess this [16:02] most (source: most): Pager program similar to more and less. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.0.0a-1 (intrepid), package size 46 kB, installed size 172 kB [16:03] @LjL umm, how can I make it to allow me to save it? [16:03] I tried gksudo natulis [16:03] Photoguy: you need to open it with "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list". [16:03] Photoguy: nautilus isn't a text editor. [16:03] Oh [16:03] Photoguy, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:04] Photoguy, will give you rights to edit and then save the file [16:04] hello sketch are u there [16:04] * aadil wonders if pen and paper is a text editor [16:04] Thanks! [16:04] oh guys, anybody experiencing ocasional closing of Opera when closing a tab? Happens to me sometimes and veeeery often to my girlfriend, tells me everyday to do something about it... Anyone? [16:04] I wish to completely remove a package. Therefore I did sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin. Then I reinstalled, but it remembered my email adress and password. I wish to completely delete all it's data, how do I do that? [16:05] j0sh, memory problems? [16:05] pim_: there is no standard way to do that. its user-specific data will be contained in your home directory, and APT never touches that. a likely guess is the directory $HOME/.programname [16:05] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [16:05] after i have updated to hardy, can i boot with my old gutsy kernel, if something goes wrong with hardy? [16:05] * Paw is freshly installing Ibex, because it hates his ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card...and continues to cry [16:05] aadil: can't be, although I didn't do a memtest [16:05] pim_: but if it's a GNOME program, then its settings might be stored in gconf. === gioele_ is now known as crik91_2 [16:05] hi [16:05] j0sh, well it can also be a network problem [16:06] LjL where is gconf stored? [16:06] have u tried support.opera.com (they have a nice site btw) [16:06] archman, as long as the kernel info is still showing in grub you can [16:06] ? [16:06] anyone like metal music? [16:06] coz am afraid i dont know what could be wrong [16:06] pim_: gconf is a set of hierarchical XML files. you can edit it with the "gconf-editor" program. [16:06] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [16:06] j0sh: flash might be crashing it or some weird javascript, either way, where did you get opera from? it's not in the deault repos [16:06] !offtopic | Radbrad [16:06] Radbrad: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:06] LjL: Yes. -- Thank you very much. [16:06] aadil: Opera closes itself when trying to close a tab, so can't be network problem [16:06] sorry [16:06] badawi: Official homepage. [16:06] i didnt know [16:07] salve [16:07] Halitech: so, upgrade with 'update manager' does not clear old kernel? [16:07] !it | kengoo [16:07] kengoo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [16:07] archman, not to my knowledge but I could be wrong [16:07] Halitech: from grub also? [16:07] j0sh: need to ask their official support channels, they would be able to help you best, maybe it's a known bug [16:07] tank [16:07] I'm Italian and I don't speak english very well...I have a laptop computer: toshiba satellite a60-332 and the audio does not work!work only when appears login page!In 2 months I don't have found any solutions!Someone can help me please? [16:07] archman: in theory you can, but in practice there might be incompatibilities between hardy and the gutsy kernel. also, i don't really know whether the updater might automatically remove the gutsy kernel. [16:08] hey all, Im trying to install my nvidia MX/MX 400 on ubuntu 8.10 but I keeps giving me an error when I restart X saying nvidia module not found, I have it working on nv drivers but I need to use the propriety ones [16:08] crik91_2: you might also want to try #ubuntu-it for support in italian [16:08] i'm better to stay with gutsy... [16:08] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [16:08] codeblue: did you try administration>hardware devices [16:08] im running dual monitors but my background is stretching across both of them as if it were one computer? can i disable this? [16:08] archman: you could always try out a Hardy live CD to make sure its kernel works on your system. [16:08] yeah I tryed that [16:09] codeblue: try synaptics package maneger then and manually adding the nvidia 177 files [16:09] LjL, in Italian community they can't help me...I have said any times coming here! [16:09] can anyone help me install hamachi [16:09] badawi: thanks. I visited this channel just of curiousity, stayed here as you see :) thought someone might have the same problem or solved it already. But you're propably right, most pages are overloaded with flash banners and it mostly happens when closing such page. But it doesn't hang, just closes instantly with no message.. [16:10] nvidia-glx-180 [16:10] I worked b4 but I could only get 640x480 res and I installed some other ones and I figured out how to fix rez but the propriety ones wont work now, I have it installed but It cant find the modules [16:10] dowN70: what about embedded VPN? [16:10] Hi all [16:10] no, i need hamchi [16:10] im running dual monitors but my background is stretching across both of them as if it were one computer? can i disable this? [16:10] <[TiZ]> Hi. What can I do to recolor gtk hyperlinks for dark themes? [16:10] just search "nvidia" in synaptic and it should give you all the needed ones [16:10] well whats embedded vpn? [16:10] l [16:10] hi i'm sort of new with the ubuntu command line... coming from a windows background... could someone explain to be how i might select all characters from the cursorback to the beginning of a line? and why should SHIFT+UP result in garbage characters? [16:11] nobody has been able to solve my problem in two months searches! [16:11] LjL: probably works, that means not much to me, i demand from new kernel to work with all my apps, especially jackd, so it's like i want to upgrade just to be supported, but my software and hardware setup to remain untouched [16:11] amerin: you could just use the mouse [16:11] i have installed nvidia driver for in my ubuntu 8.10. but now i cannot hear any sound from my system [16:11] amerinese: to select characters, you need to use the mouse. shift+up doesn't really do anything useful in the shell (unless your terminal emulator maps it to something) [16:11] amerinese-> using a mouse? or you meant via a bash command [16:11] All nvidia-96 are installed [16:12] those are the old ones [16:12] try installing the 177 ones [16:12] thats the one my card uses [16:12] archman: jackd does need the rt kernel, i believe [16:12] others are not compatible [16:12] amerinese: which command line? in gnome-terminal or ctrl+alt+f1 thing? [16:12] I have an ATI Radeon 9600 i just fresh installed what shall i do so my computer doesnt go boom. [16:12] not compatible how so? [16:12] LjL: right [16:12] yeah, i meant actually SHIFT+HOME i think, but obviously that doesn't work either; the mouse is a way, i was wondering if there were different shortcuts [16:12] gnome-terminal [16:12] LjL, what should I do? [16:12] LjL: no no no it doesn't need [16:12] <[TiZ]> What can I do to recolor gtk hyperlinks for dark themes? [16:12] say no card found [16:13] only picks up with 96 [16:13] LjL: i don't have it, and i don't have heavy latency [16:13] amerinese: highlight with mouse to copy, and middle mouse button to paste [16:13] amerinese: no, there aren't. the shell and the terminal emulator are two different things. the terminal emulator *might* map some keys to do things (like selecting text), but it usually doesn't because it can't know whether a program running in it will need those keys for itself [16:13] l [16:14] try installing envyng [16:14] badawi: okay, gotcha, sorta thinking there might be shortcuts that were different from other things i'm used to [16:14] Which Debian is Ubuntu based on? lenny or sid? [16:14] Hello, I was told yesterday to install EnvyNG to my ubuntu 8.10, but after I did Xorg didn't work anymore, does anyone know how to fix this, I don't know what EnvyNg did so I can't fix it. [16:14] LjL: what should I do? [16:14] amerinese: FYI for ctrl+alt+f1 you need the gpm package to be installed [16:14] it said operating system not supported [16:14] crik91_2: i'm sorry but i don't think i know. but have you checked your mixer carefully? i suppose so. [16:14] almark: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [16:14] i need help installing hamachi..............anyone? [16:15] !debian > allsystemsarego (allsystemsarego, see the private message from ubottu) sid [16:15] LjL: as a mixer? [16:15] crik91_2: are you using alsa mixer? [16:15] dekkong, I think of yes [16:15] I have an ATI Radeon 9600 i just fresh installed what shall i do so my computer doesnt go boom. [16:15] crik91_2: ok just a sec [16:15] paw: start with the proprietary drivers [16:15] administration> hardware [16:15] :drowed I have an ati card [16:16] dekkong, amixer info: Card default 'pulse'/'PulseAudio' [16:16] allsystemsarego: some say that sid+1, because it's so unstable.. just Debian users tho, and just for a joke... [16:16] drowned: what you mean? [16:16] well get started by installing whatever quirky drivers you need that aren't open source by default [16:16] crik91_2: open sound and change everything to (ALSA) [16:16] drowned: I tried so many things on my last install (yesteryda) that i just reformatted and trying again [16:16] Hello gang, I'm trying to install the emu10k1 module for my SB Live! card. And I'm following the instructions found on this page http://www.euronet.nl/~mailme/index4.html#Instructions but I'm stuck at the "Configuring" section, cause I don't got any file called /etc/conf.modules - So my question is, where is this file?

[16:17] cause i've messed up too and had to reinstall as well in the past :D [16:17] dekkong: ok...I do [16:17] drowneD: Everything. every possible solution. === richard is now known as Guest68008 [16:17] what was your problem? [16:17] drowneD: Ibex hates my video card, and it gets glitchy and crashs.. [16:17] what video card do you have? [16:17] ATI Radeon 9600 [16:18] Anyone know why the nvidia 177 drivers for ubuntu kill my xorg? How do i get the 180's? [16:18] dekkong: I did it [16:18] super quick question for related to the server: on hardy server kernel, it should support up to 64G of ram, correct? [16:18] hi all my tv is capable of doing 1360 x 768 but when i try and set it to that res it fails [16:18] Paw: have you tried editing xorg-conf [16:18] I have a ati radeon 8500 myself and have some problems [16:18] robin: what do you mean possibnly [16:18] DerYumf: Download them from http://www.nvidia.com [16:18] dekkong: and now?

[16:39] drowned: I remember having to do that years ago, but I just installed Ubuntu yesterday and it didn't force me to do that (maybe I clicked OK on a dialog box without reading it). [16:39] is it from their update? [16:40] no it's just the drivers getting shut down in a weird way p1un [16:40] anyone had luck setting up desktop effects w/ dual monitors? nvidia cards?

[16:52] subnus: I have the same mouse, and I was able to identify each button in the mapping screens by pressing them, then map them to commands, even though it didn't actually identify the mouse. [16:52] its possible but the stuff thats released as updates have already been tested by people like me [16:52] endgamer the buttons tab is grayed out [16:53] subnus: Bugger. Hang on.

[16:58] reenignEesreveR: you can recreate those files manually, or what would probably be easier is to recreate the account.

So I should probably file a bug.

Something I would probably do is create a second account, log in as that second account, copy over all the hidden dotfiles to your real account and then delete the second account.

(chmod 775) [17:47] eightyeight, :| well done then. as a linux ad says "a small thing can solve an incredibly complex problem". linux prodigy ad by ibm [17:47] or is that not possible using ftp [17:48] Vanesco: no [17:48] Vanesco, no. logging with ssh is what you need [17:48] scotty2: i think he meant 'acpi' [17:48] how do i tell hal to only mount removable media [17:49] jim_p: and if this is at a hosting provider? === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278 [17:49] gnutron : thanks [17:49] jim_p: giving it the ssh flag before uploading it wont work? [17:49] HURFS, mount the non-removeble media from fstab and hal will leave them alone [17:50] Vanesco, well you need the server to have the ssh service on and ready [17:50] jim_p: i can't ssh to it [17:50] Vanesco, does it have ssh installed? [17:50] jim_p: dude, it's my hosting provider, they dont allow ssh access ^^ === hielmy is now known as vimix [17:51] Vanesco, can i pm you for a sec?

Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [17:51] jim_p: hang on then === Vanesco is now known as Thumann [17:51] fograven: hi [17:51] jim_p: go ahead [17:52] I forgot one question guys ...is Wubi included inside of the ubuntu cd? [17:52] HI [17:52] Quagmire yes, but please consider it a test drive and not a real install [17:53] Jack_Sparrow oh yeah? [17:53] j_xinudsb: With acpi=off I keep getting a timeout message about ATA2.00 [17:53] is ubuntu plyg and play ? like xp ? [17:53] j_xinudsb: before even getting to the partitioner [17:53] Quagmire I take exception to the claim that it is a safe way to run ubuntu.. but some have no issues with it [17:54] hi, how to give mdadm command if it says that device is busy? i'm trying also to acces to the shell using installation cd... but mdadm command is not recognized... any hint? === hielmy is now known as vimix [17:54] Jack_Sparrow what would you advise as I best course of action then? [17:54] as my best [17:55] Quagmire THe best is a regular install on it's own partition [17:55] flink: Some things seem to be - my webcams & USB memory sticks worked immediately [17:55] but I'm on vista home Premium === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [17:55] Quagmire If you read carefully the wubi faq page they explain how wubi works and briefly that it can kill your windows install [17:56] can any one help me with Gos , it is ubuntu related. [17:56] Quagmire I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu and have for years [17:56] administrator_, me! .... maybe [17:56] administrator_ Please feel free to ask your question [17:56] is ubuntu quicker then xp ? [17:57] what is wrong with Gos [17:57] flink, nope [17:57] Jack_Sparrow I know that millions do, but I've heard crazy stuff about using it with vist home prem [17:57] flink, actually it depends on the hardware and the de and the setup you have on both [17:57] flink: quicker in what sense?? [17:57] 2.66mhz 512ram [17:57] Quagmire there is always livecd with usb stick in persistent mode to save your changes, but it will be slow\ [17:58] hi,how can i dual boot windows on linux whithout having a cd but windows in a file .iso or sumth [17:58] my xp orginal is slow and i have reinstall but still slow as hell [17:58] I have a quick question... [17:58] flink and it depends on what you are runing, If you mean Windows games.. no [17:58] flink, my linux boots in 30 seconds, and i am on the xp desktop in 20. the only program i run is the windows sound thing on the tray [17:58] flink: linux is an parallel system. windows not. it must be quicker ;) [17:58] hi,how can i dual boot windows on linux whithout having a cd but windows in a file .iso or sumth [17:58] ortsvorsteher: ...? [17:59] LjL ? what? [17:59] noiz as in vbox? [17:59] is it possible to run ubunto on a cd to tryit ? [17:59] dunno [17:59] noiz, no. windows cannot install itself from an iso. this is advance linux stuff = space technology for windows [17:59] ortsvorsteher: parallel system? quicker? what are you talking about? [17:59] If I plan on installing ubuntu in plans to dual boot, do I partiiton my HDD before I load ubuntu or does ubuntu have a built in partitioning program? [17:59] im a noob on linux so i dont know howto do it,but how can i do it then? [17:59] flink yes, the cd runs in live mode without installing to your drive [17:59] flink, yes. ubuntu and 90 percent of the linux distros come on a live cd [18:00] somone told me on wine it is possible to install it whithout having a cd..and im on linux atm [18:00] LjL: it was for flink, he asked something about. [18:00] xEPx it will partition or let you manually do so in the installer [18:00] !wine > noiz [18:00] noiz, please see my private message [18:00] 0k [18:00] I wanted to build ario from svn but I get this error somewhere on the way. any idea how to solve it? ario-mpd.c:(.text+0x28c6): undefined reference to `mpd_glibInit' after this it fails [18:00] ortsvorsteher: right, but i don't get what sense your reply makes. how is linux "parallel"? [18:00] ok then ill try it =) so i dont fuckup my xp install [18:00] noiz, dare i ask what do you want windows for? you can always use a virtualization solution that does accept iso [18:00] !language | flink [18:00] flink: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[18:01] noiz, that is flash the app... like photoshop? [18:01] tanx 4 the help everyone !

It now scans 1 x 588 I'm guessing that is pixels but not sure. any help out there? I have tried the xsane website but can't find anything on scan setup.

[18:47] i need install synaptics in another pc..then with synaptics i will try to install few drivers :| [18:48] ardiem: no. the package name is libxml++2.6c2a, and the version (if it matters) is 2.20 [18:48] webas, does the computer you wish to install things on have a net connection? [18:48] webas, you dont need synaptic package manager for that [18:48] badawi if the checksums differ, i can imagine the following reasons: one version of your cds is corrupted (either damaged or intentionally), so i guess there were really two different versions, and you got the older one [18:48] it doesnt have internet nothing.. im trying to fix it so it can work bazhang [18:48] webas, which driver [18:48] how do i acces that app that alows me to costumize almost everything in kde?

[18:53] am..atheros bazhang - sorry i was making some food :D [18:53] webas: so you need to install ndiswrapper-utils from the CD? you just need to put the CD in, type "sudo apt-cdrom add", and then type "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils" [18:53] LJL - im hurry to try this [18:53] ChotaZ: System Settings allows you to customize just about everything in KDE 3. in 4, i don't know. asked in #kubuntu?

I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors. I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each. There is no way to join all four screens to one big desktop. How can I set it up so that i can have one big desktop across all four monitors without enabing xinerama?

[19:44] anyone knows how to purge a package after it was apt-get removed WITHOUT --purge? [19:45] afallenhope|work, your making your own OS and your asking how to make a live cd? something doesnt compute, your not actually writing a new os correct [19:45] !who | ubottu Thanks! [19:45] ubottu Thanks!: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:45] ChotaZ: after installing kubuntu-desktop you can uninstall gnome see the link ubottu gave you about purekde [19:45] Juak: sudo apt-get remove --purge > [19:45] ChotaZ: ah.. I missed the part that you are on 8.04.. I'd suggest, as erUSUL said, upgrading 8.10 first.. then install the kde stuff [19:45] gnutron: got it [19:45] david_: it sounds like he's making a custom configuration...not a new OS :) [19:45] hey guys [19:45] Juak: install it again then purge it.. don't know if there is an easier way [19:45] drowned, I kinda thought so originally [19:45] do you guys know how to restart my network with a command [19:45] ? [19:46] yeah 1 sec [19:46] lamur: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:46] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:46] @Slart: dammit!

[19:46] i had to look it up [19:46] what version are we on now? It's been a while since I've upgraded and I think there should be a new version by now. [19:47] Alexplay: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [19:47] Alexplay: /etc/dhcp3/ [19:47] thanks [19:47] daaaman64: 8.10 [19:47] Juak: synaptic does complete removal of a package when asked. [19:47] Does Ubuntu have a tool to select the best mirro for sources.list, like mirrorselect in gentoo? [19:47] Thanks Slart, how do I check what version I'm on? [19:47] Alexplay: locate dhclient.conf [19:47] daaaman64: lsb_release -a [19:47] edju: yesp systemSoftware Sources [19:47] Sers [19:47] david_, not sure how this is relevant. I just installed ubuntu, installed 5 programs and had my custom scripts/programs and now would like to create a "Distro" [19:47] gnutron: but does it for packages that are already uninstalled? [19:47] edju: netselect [19:47] oh nice, thanks [19:48] Hi everyone. I just updated to intrepid and noticed myspace wasn't displaying music player correctly. What's the package to get to fix? [19:48] So ehm...how to install Java for Knuddels? =/ [19:48] If I may, I like using 'aptitude' vs. 'apt-get' ... seems to do a better job figuring out dependencies. [19:48] Slart thanks. Is it worth upgrading? I'm on 8.04. I am thinking about doing a fresh upgrade. [19:48] Juak: um, no. i doubt it. [19:48] tritium, netselect gets debian sources, doesn't it? [19:48] edju: not certain. I've not used it. [19:48] afallenhope|work, http://www.linux-live.org/ try this [19:48] daaaman64: I thought so.. but it would probably depend on what software you are using [19:49] netselect never used it I used to use emerge on gentoo [19:49] david_, do you have ANY idea what I'm talking about? [19:49] Slart: virtual box and wine are most important to me. ... which sounds kind of stupid. [19:49] Guys...i'm just new on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit and...i don't know how to install java for Knuddels, can you help me please? [19:49] isnt apt get, emerge all the same as ports from BSD?

[19:50] keishia: sudo dmidecode [19:50] !de [19:50] bah [19:50] Slart, it isn't intentional. There is no other way around gamedevelopment. And I enjoy TF2. :D [19:50] Slart, i did, it doesn't run -- it actually silently exits with an error status. [19:51] Slart, i ran a strace to see where it's dying, it's looking for a rather core system library. but it's expecting the 32 bit version. [19:51] gnutron: cheers [19:51] daaaman64: developing windows games on ubuntu.. kinky =) [19:51] tleeonly, try (kill -all ) j/k did you ever get back on if all screensavers work or not?

[19:51] afallenhope|work, np [19:51] 1 or 2 work rest don't [19:51] jdolan_: yes [19:51] jdolan_: there are some 32-bit libraries you can install .. ia-32 I think they *were* called.. not sure if they are available any more [19:51] david_, read what you wrote wrong lol. [19:51] Slart, it's the Jaspersoft reports installer, i'm really not sure. i can get the strace if you want the library name that it's looking for. [19:52] afallenhope|work, np [19:52] jdolan_: yes, it should be possible.. the problem is usually with libraries.. not the executable itself [19:52] ewww, jaspersoft [19:52] open("/lib/ld-linux.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [19:52] is anyone familiar with pulseaudio here? [19:52] Slart, right. [19:52] tleeonly, hmm well could be a problem with compatibility, honestly I don't know its a good question. I will research n get back to you [19:52] <_21h_> hi. how i can make mysql backup of all bases without codepage troubles after import into new mysql?

I've tried playing with the output settings in Audacity but no luck. What's wrong? [19:54] i need to go be on later bye [19:54] gnutron: it says SODIMM, DIMM2, DDR2, 533 MHZ, so what do I need to look for to buy RAM? [19:54] good luck tleeonly [19:54] How do I go about setting up a 'drag and drop' encrypted folder? [19:54] hmm.. I've got ia32-libs available to me in synaptic.. wonder where that comes from if ubottu doesn't know about it === alessandro_ is now known as KiNgOfKiLlEr91 [19:54] woden_, sounds like pr0n lol [19:54] open office is a 32-bit application so i would assume the 32 library is already there. [19:54] gnutron, was chmod -R 770 / [19:55] Slart, do you know of anything like emerge for ubuntu? It would be sweet if we had a compiling repository too. [19:55] mphill: ooo is 32-bit even on the 64-bit ubuntu??? [19:55] the package is ia32-libs [19:55] alternatively of course. [19:55] keishia: find the motherboard model number and check the specs [19:55] david_: No, password files. And also, just because I want to and I'm interesting in learning how. [19:55] daaaman64, apt get or aptitude [19:55] daaaman64: well.. there's apt-get build wich I assume would be kind of the same [19:55] Slart: 64-bit processor are more than capable of running 32-bit binaries [19:55] Can anyone hit my with some link on how to install Kubuntu over Ubuntu 8.10? [19:55] you just need the libraries [19:55] woden_, I'm sorry i was being sarcastic, I don't have an answer for you [19:55] david_ COMPILING. apt-get just adds packages. Thanks though. [19:56] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:56] gnutron, sorry which one in the list is the motherboard? [19:56] thanks james1979 [19:56] mphill: yes, I know.. I'm just surprised that they aren't doing 64-bit binaries.. [19:56] Fenix|work: depends if it was recursively done, but it should be 755 not 770 [19:56] I've associated my iPod to open Rhythmbox automatically and I'd like to disassociate them. How?

[20:27] Hello, its me again [20:28] hey, any other software for taking screenshots that will allow me to take it even if i click on a menu? [20:28] i have a question [20:28] Hi. I have an upgrade problem: "Not all updates can be installed" - it tells me to do a partial upgrade, but if i do that it tells me "not all packages could be authenticated" The list of software it mentions seems to be mainly OOo. I have the OOo repository in my software sources. Intrepid 64bit. [20:28] when i was upgrading 8.04 yo 8.10 i got a message saying that an error occured reading or writting information to configure NAutilus [20:28] yea [20:28] archman: yes [20:28] Pnux: print-screen button should do the trick. [20:29] thanks gnutron, gonna try it [20:29] Ooops... fell offline. Did I missanything? [20:29] clooluss, just the Dixie Chicks [20:29] my external hd stopped working when i disabled gnome from starting up when ubuntu started up. do you think that is what is causing my external hd not to detect now? [20:29] and Led Zepellin [20:30] Zeppelin [20:30] err [20:30] =-) [20:30] !enter | Fenix|work [20:30] ooops [20:30] Fenix|work: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:30] hi all! [20:30] cloosuss: You can probably reboot, and do the upgrade again, and it should pick up the rest of trhe packages [20:30] paging led zeppelin.... joke, sorry. [20:30] cloosuss: It probably has some dependencies on a new kernel that got installed [20:30] gnutron, do you know the name of the one that is preinstalled? [20:30] when i was upgrading 8.04 yo 8.10 i got a message saying that an error occured reading or writting information to configure NAutilus [20:30] Pnux: no sorry. [20:30] how does one edit metadata of multimediafiles in avi-containers under ubuntu 8.10? [20:31] what am i supposed to do? [20:31] fang0654: I've tried that, have had this problem a few days. Reboot at least once a day. [20:31] does anyone have the command to re enable gnome on startup [20:31] Thanks tritium ... although I think most here can police themselves quite nicely, it's nice to know there is someone who cares [20:31] When building a package with dh_make, how do I change the distro it is going to build for? [20:32] fang: Has there been a new kernel release lately? This was a frsh-from-cd install of ibex, not an upgrade from Hardy. [20:32] clooluss: pretty sure there was one a couple days ago [20:32] fang: OK, how do I fix it? [20:32] clooluss, yea like two weeks ago [20:32] Fenix|work: it was a tad offtopic, but I let it go. [20:32] b1gbawx: update-rc.d gdm start or 'on' maybe, not sure [20:32] clooluss: Did you do the partial upgrade? [20:33] i just want to see if its causing my external hd not to work [20:33] Fang: I try to, but it doesn't work. I says that packages can't be authenticated, and then lists a bunch of OOo stuff. [20:33] clooluss: There isn't an option to continue anyway? [20:33] I run OOo 3.0 from the OOo repository, not 2.X from the standard repo. [20:34] i am having problem with playing flash videos (youtube) on firefox...using intrepid [20:34] tritium, it was actually humour AND it made someone smile... soooo it was win-win for the whole 'make the users feel welcome' experience that is ever so important here... but again this is off topic, I better start talking ubuntu and become a dull boy. [20:34] clooluss: Are you referring to the OOo PPA? [20:35] Fenix|work: which is why I let it go. All is good. No worries. [20:35] greetings [20:35] how can I print from the cli? I tried lp lpr but gives me an error [20:35] Printing from any X app is perfect [20:35] Fang: No. "It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem... try aagin later... see below for list of unauthed packages." I ddon't think it is a transient network problem. Or if it is a netowrk problem, it isn't a transient one - this has been going on since tuesday or wednesday. [20:35] * B0ngFrOg is pulling my hair out trying to get a layla20 to show me all the channels (dig and analog) I have a .asoundrc but get a error over it. (the .asound works on this maching with FC9). Any ideas? [20:36] does anyone knows how to fix this on firefox with intrepid? [20:36] jshriver: pipe output to 'lpr' [20:36] Pici: Yeah, pp.launchpad...openoffice...intrepid. something like that [20:37] lpr: Error - no default destination available. [20:37] clooluss: What about if you do a sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:37] intrepid...what a mess [20:37] I only have one printer and it's set to default in cups [20:37] how do i add stuff to xorg.conf in ubuntu 8.10 . seems as if the xorg.conf is extremely small these days and "stuff" (keyboard etc) are automagically setup elsewhere. More specifically i'd like to get this working; http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Logitech_UltraX_Media_Remote [20:37] clooluss: PPAs do not currently offer the ability to be signed. So you *will* get an error regarding unauthenticated updates. [20:37] is there a way to have one specific mounted volume not appear on the desktop? i don't want my ntfs partition on the linux drive to show on the desktop but everything else should [20:37] hey all, I'm using apt-proxy to cache my files, but starting today I can't seem to find: /ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 on any servers.

[20:39] clooluss: No. [20:40] i have synaptic broken...i know there is something i can do on the terminal [20:40] sinbox _ I'll look there alsa . g rin thanks [20:40] clooluss: Launchpad will be offering signed PPAs in the next week or so. So you won't have to put up with this for much longer. [20:40] gnutron: you were right, I went into cups and set it as my default. though I had already but recently changed printers [20:40] lpr works now ty :) [20:40] ramon_: how did you break it? [20:40] intrepid broke everything...damn...lol [20:40] what package do i need to install in order to have access to ntfsresize?

I'll wait it out. Thanks to Fang too. [20:41] Is it common to receive errors when trying to copy files from a network drive that uses NTFS? [20:42] i feel like i have ubuntu for first time [20:42] Is it possible to have network manager control a bridge interface as a wired interface? [20:42] pici: One last question: Will I have to do anything when these signed thingies come in? Or will it all "just work" [20:43] ok i need to shill..let me smoke this and i will be back [20:43] how can download ndisgtk for hardy? [20:43] clooluss: You'll probably be prompted with a different error. I'm not sure how it would be worded though.

[20:44] <|REM|> great thank you [20:44] tritium: he messed it up [20:45] gnutron: I know, but he never explained how, or what he meant.

[21:04] Steffan: it tried to concatenate a video device, not a normal thing that i know of. [21:04] All: I had a MB Nic, plus 2, on my 7.10 server and just pulled. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. [21:04] i have to test it with my windows test machine [21:05] grendal_prime: wow. i didn't know port fowarding was tunnelling. haha...that's funny about that person. i think putty is pretty friendly [21:05] Hey, I'm trying to run ubuntu 7.10 on mac os x ppc, but a box comes up saying busybox [21:05] smacfarl: do you remember what the package was called? (or can you give me a link to the PPA?) [21:05] gnutron, ok it is not normal... but it should not crash [21:05] What do I type to get ubuntu running? [21:05] well, port forwarding is not tunneling === cexpert1 is now known as TBotNik [21:05] grendal_prime: ya, the putty on linux is the exact same as windows [21:05] gnutron, it should be 'fool' proof :P [21:05] hey, does anyone here know the terminal command to update adept in kubuntu?? [21:05] LjL:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main [21:05] well the port forwarding through ssh is what im talking about [21:05] All: I had a MB Nic, plus 2, on my 7.10 server and just pulled. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. [21:05] SkittleLinux18_: sudo apt-get update [21:05] but, you can tunnel a port that is not forwarded/natted/etc/ through a port that is forwarded, [21:05] anyone know how to hack the xorg.conf in ubuntu 8.10 ? [21:05] Steffan: i would have expected screen garbage, but crash, yes very possible, no harm done tho' [21:06] smacfarl: what does "apt-cache show amarok-kde4" tell you? [21:06] how do i empty root trash can? [21:06] on 8.10 [21:06] juanez: what do you mean by hack? [21:06] I can't connect to the internet through the latest 8.10 build. I connected to my wirless network but cant browse the internet or download updates [21:06] !trash > Static-- [21:06] Static--, please see my private message [21:06] will__: that's apt-get. i need to the command to update adept package manager [21:06] do you have an ip, routs? [21:06] dman777: make changes to xorg.conf ... seems as if ubuntu 8,10 seriously changed it [21:06] Steffan: be careful what you type, you just might get it! [21:06] SkittleLinux18_: same thing. [21:07] All: Did you understand my Q or do I need to reword? [21:07] There's nothing wrong if i remove "interface-mtu," line in dhclient.conf? because i don't want it to reset my MTU everytime i run dhclient, i removed it and all seems ok and works like i want, but will this cause any problems? [21:07] SkittleLinux18_: they're both just front-ends to APT, an update will update the other. [21:07] juanez: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:07] dman777: yes, that file [21:07] Anyone know how I can get ubuntu to run, just something comes up saying busybox [21:07] LJL: It says the package is amarok-kde4 and a lot of other stuff this seems like a good response. [21:07] really?? hmm... good to know. I was given one yesterday that was a bit longer, but I don't remember it. [21:07] juanez: why not just edit the file? [21:07] dman777: doesnt work any longer it seems [21:07] smacfarl: then i don't know why you don't see it in Synaptic (you definitely should), but you can install it with "sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4" [21:07] Can anyone help me with an internet issue? [21:08] thanks dman777 that should do the trick ...also now when i make my flash animation tut's i dont have to do those on the windows machine since the interface looks almost identical [21:08] juanez: what is it that you want to change? [21:08] gnutron, huh? Might get crashes when i type 'cat /dev/video0' :S [21:08] dman777: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Logitech_UltraX_Media_Remote [21:08] BTW I think since we bailed out the banks, and we're talking about bailing out the auto companies we should have a public works project for gnome and kde devs. [21:08] like to add that in xorg.conf [21:08] but no go [21:08] smacfarl: does it say the version is 2.0? [21:08] mintor, you ignored my question to you [21:08] juanez: you can edit your xorg conf the same as every other release [21:08] bail out opensource? [21:08] juanez: you might want to try to put it in the server section [21:08] we all get a million dollar check? [21:08] I must have missed it... [21:09] LjL: Version 2.0-0ubuntu1~ppa1 which looks like the right one? [21:09] juanez: how old is that tutorial? [21:09] smacfarl: yes [21:09] There's nothing wrong if i remove "interface-mtu," line in dhclient.conf? because i don't want it to reset my MTU everytime i run dhclient because it gets configured to 1500 when the interface goes up, i removed it and all seems ok and works like i want, but will this cause any problems? [21:09] Steffan: /dev/video0 is likely a webcam, cat displays text files, it tried to display a video device in a terminal, not likely to work. i never tried it. [21:09] Do you have an ip, and routes to any networks? [21:09] thats rediculas..now 500,000, not a bad idea (we shouldnt get greedy) [21:09] juanez: oh wait...that's what it saids [21:09] gnutron, but i can cat my mouse input :D [21:09] dman777: from sept 2007 [21:09] juanez: you got the driver installed, yes? [21:10] evdev ? yes [21:10] Steffan: i've heard of that, yes [21:10] hello [21:10] Steffan: you "can", doesn't mean it's a good idea, though, since it'll probably result in mangling your terminal and that's it [21:10] All: I had a MB NIC, plus 2 3Com NICs, on my Ubuntu 7.10 server and just pulled them. Was previously using for load balance on proxy server, but not using box that way now. Where is a HOWTO on resetting these? I have static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file and not finding the help I need. Previous Inet port was the MB NIC but system had ID'd it as eth2, now is eth0, but not coming up on re-boot, even though I change the settings in the "interface" [21:10] juanez: xorg.conf is still being used. you're gonna have mess with those settings to make it fly. [21:10] ok [21:10] guys how to make file in konsole? [21:10] HELLO [21:11] juanez: you might want to do a lsusb to make sure you got the device label correct [21:11] dman777: yeah, it's still used.. but seems something's chagned though. becuase they dont swallow the config [21:11] someone answer me please [21:11] Ifconfig is only showing localhost and no eth ports [21:11] why i can't edit partitions in gparted [21:11] i have 4 sections when i run the ifconfig,eth0,lo,wlan0,wmaster0-00 [21:11] Syslinux says 'Cannot find kernel image: Linux' when I try to boot my LiveUSB made with usb-creator and I don't seem to be able to fix is by changing the paths in syslinux.conf. [21:11] dman777: did you do a modprobe to see if the driver is loaded? or is it in the kernel? [21:11] i want to create a new partition from a existing but all the options are blank [21:11] Alexplay: it may / may not cause problems depending on your isp [21:11] archman, echo "test" > test.txt ? [21:11] How can i move widgets within a panel in KDE? [21:11] Alexplay: we can't say - try it [21:11] lo has net add of 127.0.0.1 [21:12] LjL: Will it detect my 1.4 install and suck up the data? [21:12] juanez: : did you do a modprobe to see if the driver is loaded? or is it in the kernel? [21:12] is there a config file for programs that auto-start when the system boots? [21:12] wlan0 has net add of 192.168.2.3 [21:12] I have a question on evolution, I've walked through the sync settings and it syncs with my palm just fine, now how do i get it to download my info from my palm to evolution and what do i hit in evolution to sync each time I use it? [21:12] all my programs [i'm in gnome] claim they've run out of space and cant save their add-ons, configurations, and other various things they decide to try and save. I'm on a Wubi installation... what might be the problem? i have tools to grow partitions if i need them [21:12] smacfarl: no idea [21:12] i'm trying to autostart a bittorrent client [21:12] well, i tried it and it doesn't change my MTU, and i keep my connection to internet [21:12] so i guess it's ok [21:12] ANY ONE KNOWS HOW TO INSTALL REMASTERSYSY IN INTREPID AMD64?????!!!! [21:12] lsmod | grep evdev ----> evdev 17696 0 [21:12] agustin: don't use caps [21:12] agree [21:13] agustin: people can read lower case and it get's peoples backs up as it's classed as "shouting" [21:13] dman777: lsmod | grep evdev ----> evdev 17696 0 [21:13] dman777: so i guess it is? [21:13] LjL: When I find out, is there some community Ubuntu knowledge base I can report the results to, so other people can read what happened? [21:13] I have a question on evolution, I've walked through the sync settings and it syncs with my palm just fine, now how do i get it to download my info from my palm to evolution and what do i hit in evolution to sync each time I use it? [21:13] no caps please [21:13] juanez: ya, looks like that is good. probably a setting in the xorg.conf that has to be changed. that tutorial can be out of date. [21:14] Does the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD contain the partition editor (other than the one in the install)? [21:14] juanez: i can't imagine xorg.conf not being used. [21:14] I've tried two versions of the GParted LiveCD and neither will boot. [21:14] dman777: it is being used, but xorg.conf doesnt set everything up these days.. (less /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see for yourself) [21:14] Hello. All my programs [i'm in gnome] claim they've run out of space and cant save their add-ons, configurations, and other various things they decide to try and save. I'm on a Wubi installation... what might be the problem? i have tools to grow partitions if i need them. I hate to repeat myself, but i doubt anyone will read it if i dont... perhaps neither if i do. [21:14] Anyone know why on ubuntu 7.10 powerpc, it stops at busybox? [21:14] Reformer81: you can install gparted on the livecd [21:15] smacfarl: not that i'm aware, i don't see a wiki page for amarok 2 [21:15] anyone? evolution help [21:15] I'm trying to install it [21:15] How do i access auto-started programs in xfce?

[21:16] Reformer81: why not just use fdisk? [21:16] not this again [21:16] dman777: I'm not really comfortable with a command-line partition editor. [21:16] modprobe ide-core [21:16] How can i remove the annoying msgs in Pidgin when someone disconnects or connects? it spams my window [21:16] exit [21:16] Reformer81: have you tried gparted?

WPA does not work... i need wpa.. [21:26] xhunter sudo sh ./PATH [21:26] xhunter, sudo sh ./PATH isn't working [21:27] dman777: nah, i guess you'd have to edit stuff in /etc/hal/* [21:27] oreoferret: what wireless do you have? [21:27] navinshenoy: look into wpa supplicant... something like that. I know ubuntuforums have a bunch of tutorials [21:27] well.. im out [21:27] juanez: wow...so hal will contain xorg? [21:27] im going to bring my probel onto the forum theirs too many people having probs here to get an answer because they have to all be replied to [21:27] I need some help with a wireless connection. I have connected to the network but cant browse the itnernet or updates [21:27] dman777: no [21:27] navinshenoy: and know that wifi is a particularly tricky aspect of ubuntu so it might just not be available with your hardware... you should look at the ubuntu wiki to see if your wifi card is supported [21:27] Well i am here after trying to get wpa supplicant to work and failed.. howtos are not very good [21:28] dman777: what? no! xorg.conf will be deprectated i'd guess [21:28] gnite [21:28] mintonr: You might go to a terminal and try: dhclient wlan0 (or whatever your wireless interface is set to) [21:28] navinshenoy: then you're going to need to give us a lot more information. what did you do? what failed? what output did you get? do you have any log files? etc... [21:28] Ok, ill try that Firefishe [21:28] mintonr: Tell me if it works or not. [21:29] When an app unsinstalls in Ubuntu does it remove everything?

How EASY is it? [21:29] xhunter, Can you help? [21:29] Photoguy: depends on if other things use the dependencies [21:29] Photoguy: Generally speaking, yes.

[21:29] slashzul: if there is a package availalbe, not too hard [21:29] OK [21:30] photoguy: depends on dependencies, and whether you specify purge to apt [21:30] ikonia: umm , not sure, but I need a specific apache version [21:30] But better than Windows anyway? [21:30] I get unkown harware address type 801 can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases PERMISSION DENIED [21:30] i think i will give up on this wifi thing until ubuntu support for wpa imporves [21:30] slashzul: if there is a package - your fine, if there i not, quite awkward [21:30] mintonr: use sudo [21:30] ikonia: so, hal won't contain xorg, but if i want to edit xorg i do it in a hal config file? [21:30] Photoguy: cppm is correct. The command: sudo dpkg --purge filename.deb will completely remove it from your system, including the .deb. [21:31] I need help with grub. I keep getting 'error 2' during boot. [21:31] dman777: no [21:31] Ikonia: how to use sudo?

[21:42] Firefishe ok i pasted it [21:42] lanoxx: it will be find but you will have tons of KDE bloat [21:42] mintonr: Copy the resulting URL in the address bar, and repaste it here. [21:42] Firefishe, i once installed kde-desktop on an ubuntu 7.10 and i got a very messy kde session [21:42] lanoxx: it won't lead to the same result because it won't uninstall KDE [21:43] Hi all, sorry about the flooding. Would any of you be able to tell me why this worked in my previous ubuntu but not in 8.10? Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/84110/ [21:43] http://rafb.net/p/oVHWnp56.html [21:43] lanoxx: Well, it's largely, I find, dependent upon hardware. I used 7.10 and kde just fine for a long time. [21:43] typeofkisses: why are you doing su me [21:43] Because I want to run gnome-terminal as a user other than the desktop user [21:43] i have a problem with compilation vsftpd2.0.7 [21:43] typeofkisses: show us the exact names your using [21:43] typeofkisses: is one of them root ? [21:44] well a reinstall ok kubuntu worked, just the switch in the running ubuntu was strange, thats why im asking [21:44] No, neither is root [21:44] typeofkisses, you should "su - me" [21:44] Buster_Hymen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745836 [21:44] typeofkisses: do "su - me" [21:44] Okay I will try that, thank you [21:44] if i end up with a corrupted gnome install i would rather consider reinstalling the whole system [21:44] mintonr: Well, it seems that you' [21:44] aeolien: lol thanks... why did google not work for me? =) [21:44] mintonr: Well, it seems that you're getting an IP address. What happens when you try to browse to a page. [21:44] Hi all, I just upgraded ntfs-3g and now I can't write to my ntfs partitions even though they should be mounted correctly. Debug info is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/84111/ - please help. I cam usually fix my own problems but this makes no sense to me. [21:45] ikonia, sweet, thanks [21:45] Buster_Hymen: search query; xfce OR xubuntu auto start applcation [21:45] lanoxx, that's because kde-desktop is *not* the metapackage that Kubuntu is based on. kubuntu-desktop is. likewise, the metapackage that Ubuntu (GNOME) is based on is ubuntu-desktop. [21:45] Firefishe: failed to establish a connection to the server at: ubuntu.com [21:45] Cybolic: Were you able to write to your partitions prior to upgrading? [21:45] Or any other site i try [21:45] mintonr: can you ping your gateway [21:45] i ran the sudo cmd to get kooldock now how do i access kool dock? [21:45] mintonr: Try another page. [21:46] aeolien: Yes, I was. [21:46] mintonr: can you use nslookup [21:46] aeolien: i don't ahve the "autostarted applications" entry in my menu... [21:46] Hi. I have USB wireless network thingy. Could anyone point me towards a guide to set up a wireless access point on a ubuntu machine? Thanks [21:46] ikonia: Doh....good suggestion. [21:46] aeolien: I don't know what version I upgraded _from_ though. [21:46] ultratek: have you tried typing "kooldock" in a terminal or in Alt+F2? [21:46] so I want to rsync some files from my vista box to my ubuntu box... is this going to be easy, or am I going to have to use scp [21:46] with putty [21:46] i can ping the gate way [21:46] Now I have this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84112/ [21:46] mintonr: ok, so dns is probably at fault [21:46] <\slash> how can i setup my ubuntu to listen for ssh connections ? [21:47] typeofkisses: echo $DISPLAY [21:47] typeofkisses: why are you doing xohost [21:47] <\slash> i wanna connect to my ubuntu remotely [21:47] typeofkisses: you shouldn't need xhost [21:47] LjL, you mean i accidentally installed kde-desktop while what i really wanted was kubuntu desktop, so now if i want gnome i should install ubuntu-desktop not gnome-desktop [21:47] lanoxx: correct. [21:47] Can anyone recommend an app to piece together some .mov files? [21:47] Running other GUI programs as "me" works fine but not gnome-terminal [21:47] echo $DISPLAY is empty [21:47] Cybolic: It says on line 12 it's mounted as rw [21:47] ikonia: dns...*grumble* Prior to installing kubuntu yesterday, I'd been having all kinds of dns lookup latency and fail-to-load issues with debian lenny 64bit. [21:48] typeofkisses: then there's no reason why any GUI application would work. export DISPLAY=:0 [21:48] grandr and lrandr only give me the options of 800x600 and 640x480 how can i add 1440x900 at 60hz [21:48] Ikonia FireFishe: I gotta get going, thanks for the help. Ill check with the dns when I can and see. Maybe later it will work..... thanks again! [21:48] Buster_Hymen: Hmm... Odd. I'm not actually running XFCE, so I don't think I can help you further. [21:48] I'm using xhost because that's how I needed to do this in previous versions of ubuntu. [21:48] k mintonr...be well, glad to help. [21:48] same to you [21:48] aeolien: Exactly, that's what I don't get. When I try to write to the partition (as with the touch command) it says it _isn't_ mounted rw. [21:48] ok thanks anyway [21:48] should I do that as "you" or "me"? [21:48] Cybolic: how are you mounting it? In fstab? [21:48] ljl: it says it is already running [21:48] aeolien: Yes. [21:49] LjL, i guess i judged wrong about ubuntu then, thanks for correcting my mistake [21:49] typeofkisses: why don't you just use gksudo as intended? "gksudo -u username commandname" [21:49] Cybolic: could you pastebin your fstab file? [21:49] ljl: how do i get the icon palette at the bottom of my desktop with kooldock [21:49] hey there ppl [21:49] ikonia: Do you know if dns latency/lookup issues have been an issue in recent *buntu/debian releases at all? [21:49] ultratek: i haven't the slighest idea [21:49] typeofkisses: xhost + [21:49] Firefishe: nope [21:49] =) [21:49] aeolien: I'll paste you the line: UUID=1A81229A5F8AF86E /media/storage ntfs defaults,umask=0002,uid=1000,gid=100 0 1 [21:49] anyone? [21:49] ikonia: Must be hardware or localized then.. Okay, thanks. :) [21:50] set nick zod21 [21:50] The way I'd done in the past, I would run a terminal as the other user because then I could click on URLs in pine, for example, and they would open as a web browser for the other user [21:50] Cybolic: Do you need any special mounting options? Or are the defaults fine? [21:50] LjL, will installing ubuntu-desktop keep me the kde-stuff or will it completely change my system to ubuntu? [21:50] aeolien: I'm not sure what you mean? [21:51] This is so I can have my personal business in a protected user account but then close those windows and offer my friends a "safe" desktop to use [21:51] aolien: sorry to bother you further, but would a startup script be able to help me in my predicament? [21:51] Mornign all, can someone please help me edit my xrandr without breaking my machine, its been 2 days at ultra low res and i cant seem to change it [21:52] lanoxx: no, as i said, it'll keep KDE. [21:52] lanoxx: that's the only difference between that and a reinstall. [21:52] xhost + gives me the same error as if I had used xhost +local: [21:52] Cybolic: Alright, that answers my question anyway. Are you running Intrepid? [21:53] ok [21:53] I'm just not sure what changed between versions [21:53] aeolien: Actually I'm running Mint, but it's based on Hardy and uses its repos. [21:53] And why it does this specifically for gnome-terminal and not other apps [21:53] aeolien: The ntfs-3g package was also from hardy repos. [21:54] Cybolic: OK, sure! Here's a graphical config program: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [21:54] Or use Synaptic or Add/Remove to install it [21:54] aeolien: Thanks, I'll try that :) [21:54] aeolien: And thank you for your time.

Check out this for more: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G [21:55] Cybolic: Launch that via gksudo ntfs-config and check the boxes :P [21:55] Is there a command to get the bot to tell you about a package in the ubuntu repo?

[21:58] aeolien: Wow, that thing rewrites the _entire_ fstab file... kind of scary, but it seems to have preserved the options of other partitions, so no worry, just a quick scare.

[22:23] makito249: sure [22:23] Jack_Sparrow: I gues it's the real thing i downloaded it from ubuntu.com for 2 days ago [22:23] doug___ yes, but there are manay many apps , bootable cd's etc that can handle that [22:23] okay i'll try both [22:23] thanks a lot guys [22:24] LMosze ty, it helps us to know.. here is a basic help page for sound issues.. [22:24] peter1138, did you apt-get upgrade from a gui ?? [22:24] !sound [22:24] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:24] why are the app icons in the panel different from the ones in the menu? [22:24] is there any reason in particular why flash show grey lines while playing and locks up firefox and tops my CPU? [22:24] ok...well i dont mind doing it via terminal, but if there is a gui it would be easier... [22:24] rrplay, i'd assume it's default white text, i've never changed it [22:24] Ah yes the number increased to 6### when I tried it again which I didn't notice before [22:24] how do you get take a screen shot? [22:24] also how long woudl you assume it would take to write 80gb to a new hdd [22:24] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks allot! [22:25] doug___ running a gui on the drive you want to backup can lead to problems [22:25] the new hdd is fresh and just partitioned [22:25] rrplay, actually stopping and starting gdm has made a change -- switching to text console now turns the monitor off [22:25] peter1138, play around abit and check it out [22:25] because you wnat to have it unmounted [22:25] hey guys I'm having a problem. On battery my screen dims when its inactive but never comes back...does anyone else have this problem? [22:25] doug___ you might want to google up hirenscd.. [22:25] Or why we haven't received the nvidia 180 driver in an update yet? [22:25] jedi06: print-screen button [22:25] jedi06: you could get a nice GUI screenshot program 'sudo apt-get install ksnapshots' [22:25] Does anyone know how to sort a series of lines by the first character? sort will only sort by alphanumeric characters. [22:25] rrplay, oh, and the upgrade was done a while ago, several reboots since then, heh [22:25] I have gimp [22:25] peter1138, you may have to reconfigure your xserver [22:25] !ot > makito249 [22:25] makito249, please see my private message [22:26] what about just a screnshot of a window not the whole screen [22:26] i'll try fiddling with rebooting [22:26] peter1138, do you have any nvidia or ati drivers loaded ?? [22:26] jedi06: maybe alt+print-screen [22:26] Is there a chatroom just for questions about gnome and gnome-terminal ? [22:26] i just installed flash 10 and about:plugins lists shockwave flash and yet flash still doesnt work... [22:26] looks like everything I need thanks [22:26] doug___ great.. [22:26] got it [22:27] gnutron yup that is it [22:27] oh i see that drive image does not have usb support [22:27] guess im stuck using norton ghost [22:27] roosel: its because flash doesn't work for crap under linux and never has [22:27] typeofkisses: i don't know, sorry. /list will list channels, very server cpu intensive [22:27] it worked fine on 7.1 til flash 10 =( [22:27] 7.10* [22:27] ok, try again, question: why are the icons in the panel different from the ones in the menu? (In gnome) [22:27] doug___ google up g4l ghost 4 linux.. they did change the name but that will get you there [22:28] !ohmy > Lamo [22:28] Lamo, please see my private message [22:28] hi [22:28] goodevening === fernando is now known as Guest60711 [22:28] rrplay do you know how to add unrecofniser resolutions to xrandr? [22:28] hmm [22:29] so flash 10 doesnt work on 8.04 ? [22:29] indeed, booting in single user gives me a text console up until X is started :o [22:29] does flash 9 ? [22:29] roosel: works fine [22:29] how do i get the latest sun java (java6 u10)? [22:29] roosel: did you install flash-nonfree [22:29] roosel, ive seen flash 10 work on 8.04 - but havent messed with it lately [22:29] is that better then the cd you linked to jack [22:29] no i ran the .deb installed from the adobe website [22:29] peter1138, do you have any ati or nvidia ddrivers ?? [22:29] installer* [22:29] yes, nvidia [22:30] I am running 8.10 system , but when system starts options are only 8.04 ...is that normal? [22:30] doug___ g4l is kinda dated, not sure it will do usb... just trying to point yoyou to a few options [22:30] peter1138, there you go got to fix that ?? [22:30] roosel: maybe you should use the repo one? also there are two other flash packages I had to install last night to get my desktop working [22:30] kansan__: sun-java6-jre i think [22:30] Lamo what were the other packages [22:30] peter1138, try reinstalling those properly [22:30] rose: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:30] properly? heh [22:31] roosel: enable partner repos and refresh package list. flash-plugin should be there [22:31] peter1138, you changed kernels so you may have to simply reinstall them [22:31] you cant apt-get flash plugin no more... [22:31] roosel: in synaptic of course [22:31] roosel: gnash and swf mozilla not sure the exact names [22:31] roosel: firefox should ask you if you want to install them [22:31] !info flashplugin-nonfree [22:31] flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.12.36ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [22:32] roosel It sure looks like it is in the repos [22:32] go ahead and try it jack [22:32] you get a 404 [22:32] is it normal I have only 8.04 options at start when my system is updated to 8.10? [22:32] Gust60711 what options do you refer to ? [22:33] I am referring to start up options [22:33] systems on start up [22:33] roosel: adobe-flashplugin [22:33] and thx roosel for asking [22:33] !adobe-flashplugin [22:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:34] join #nvidia [22:34] I am not intelligent as well and I am not a bot [22:34] Guest60711 did you upgrade the system or was it a fresh 8.10 install ? [22:34] mornin all [22:34] I did upgrade [22:34] roosel: found it? [22:34] is posible to install an ubuntu base-system? [22:34] like debian? [22:35] dniel, dependiosn on what you mean. theres the ubuntu 'jeos' thats a very minimal system. [22:35] j0sh-x1 this is what happens if you try apt-get that Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [22:35] yes, you can install debian [22:35] roosel Sure seems to be there for me.. and here too http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/flashplugin-nonfree/download [22:35] peter1138, check this out http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html [22:35] dniel: like the ubuntu server install? [22:35] dniel: are you talking about a cli-only system? [22:35] i've never had a problem before getting vsync to work in linux (usually as long as I disable compiz) [22:35] ah, i've just removed/purged all nvidia stuff [22:35] but even with compiz disabled i can't get vsync working in opengl games [22:35] and removed the x config [22:36] dniel, most linux versions now are based off redhat or debian, but there isnt really a 'base' system [22:36] i checked vsync in game, in the nvidia config and tried export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1 [22:36] roosel: do you have partner repos enabled? [22:36] how do you see how large a directory is [22:36] dniel, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos [22:36] driver version 177.80 [22:36] peter1138, seee the link above [22:36] just need to reconfigure X... it's set me up in a lovely 1024x768 interlaced mode [22:36] hi all [22:36] i will when i get to a browser [22:36] j0sh-x1 no i do not [22:36] dr_willis: yes I wanna install a base system and then I wanna install my component like kdebase and other aplications [22:36] anyone knows why toshiba_acpi module has been removed from stock kernel? [22:36] dniel, i dont see the point in doing that.. but its doable. [22:37] dniel: you can either install ubuntu-server or do a cli-only install with the ubuntu-minimal cd [22:37] dniel, you'd be better off building a distro from scratch using some of the tools [22:37] roosel: enable, refresh list, check [22:37] roosel: did you get my answer? [22:37] Guest60711 if you manually upgraded your system then you would have to manual edit your grub / boot loader [22:37] How do you see the size of a directory? [22:37] because ubuntu come whit a lot of tools and aplications that I don't use [22:37] I get the update automatically [22:38] j0sh-x1 honestly im not sure how to add an alternate repo [22:38] and I like the fresh instalation [22:38] rrplay, heh, none of that seems relevant... X itself was working perfectly with the nvidia setup... [22:38] hi all [22:38] peter1138, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:38] and it installed well it seems [22:38] and then with aptitude install only that I'll use [22:38] rrplay that does next to nothing in the new release of ub [22:38] dniel: you could also try remastering an installation cd [22:38] Guest60711 and you are most likely using 8.10 atm and just need to update the words in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [22:39] Buster_Hymen: what is cli-only? [22:39] dniel command line interface [22:39] on x 8.10 xubuntu [22:39] is there a bug in 177.80 with vsync? [22:39] OK! but I don't need a server. I wanna a desktop OS [22:39] roosel: start synaptic, use settings menu, select "repositories", go to third party software tab, check the box in line with partner [22:39] dniel: cli-only is as barebone as it gets. there's no graphical interface--only a command prompt. You'd have to install X and GDM and Gnome and all that yourself [22:39] !minimal > dniel [22:39] dniel, please see my private message [22:40] roosel: Is there a command I can make on console and print out to let you find out more accurately? [22:40] what is the command to list the system? [22:40] dniel, the difference between server and desktop is applications and hardening [22:40] roosel: then close, refresh list of packages. adobe-flashplugin should be there [22:40] anyone know what the cl command is to list version ? [22:40] josh-x1 im not sure i have synaptic [22:40] roosel: lsb_release -a [22:40] Vantrax: and the kernel? [22:41] see that Guest60711 ? [22:41] dniel: uname -a [22:41] dniel, kernels will be the same base across all linux, just with different extra bits to harden or limit services [22:42] Anyone know how to edit the apps menu for all users? [22:42] roosel: system ->settings -> synaptic package manager [22:42] Is there a way to make ubuntu console fancy & colorful [22:42] Vantrax: alacarte i believe [22:42] peter1138, do you have any desktop effects active ? [22:42] not currently [22:42] see that? [22:42] peter1138, and still no text [22:42] xiamx: edit the default profile, in the terminal menu. [22:43] am installing nvidia-glx-177... will see what happens [22:43] xiamx, if You mean the alt-ctrl-f1 'consoles' you can enable the framebuffer and do all sorts of tweaks to it. [22:43] gnutron, I'm not talking about xterm. I mean the native console [22:43] j0sh-x1 thx [22:43] xiamx: also edit ~/.bashrc but back it up first. [22:43] Guest19019, you asked what is the command to list the system, if the command you want is uname -a great if not then your question means nothing to me and needs to be written again [22:43] peter1138, sure just try ing to get it for you [22:43] roosel: np, glad to help [22:44] but... are there any minimal desktop ubuntu? [22:44] Guest60711 That question was rather vague [22:44] dr_willis: what should I do after enable framebuffer? [22:44] dniel You have been told and shown repeatedly.. the link [22:44] roosel : it seems it did not update, in fact [22:44] anyone know where this is? http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/679/testri5.jpg [22:45] xiamx, thers several wiki pages on the topic. to enable it - i edit the grub menu.lst to set the proper vga=MODE you will then be able to set different res/modes and fonts, the fbset tool can let you set other things. [22:45] it reports 8.04 hardy [22:45] frankS2: just what does this have to do with Ubuntu? [22:45] dniel, answer yes: location http://www.xubuntu.com [22:45] Guest60711 what were you using to update, typically I use a new installation when upgrading but I use several partitions which makes that more painless [22:45] gnutron: what should I edit in bashrc? [22:45] dr_willis: Thanks, I'm trying it out now [22:45] Newbie Question : i have irssi installed. if i now type "sudo apt-get install irssi", will it then install the latest version or will nothing happen since it is already installed? [22:45] xiamx: there are some lines you can un-comment to add color [22:46] ompaul: no. It's a ubuntu whit Xfce [22:46] xiamx: also some useful aliases [22:46] kristian1: it will probably just report that nothing was installed [22:46] Guest60711: 8.04 is long time support, wont upgrade to 8.10 unless forced [22:46] xiamx, theres a great many bash howto/guides/tips on tweaking the bashrc, or other bash customization tips. the ABS guide is worth reading. [22:46] dniel, just check out the different versions of ubuntu, im sure one or two will work. There should be a configuration with what your looking for, else build your own, there are guides online. [22:46] dniel, that is the smallest official ubuntu based distro there is no gnome light version if that is your question [22:46] kristian1: since it's already installed.. you can run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall irssi" to make it reinstall it.. if that's what you want [22:46] !minimal [22:47] 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 [22:47] dr_willis: gnutron: thank you for your help [22:47] xiamx: just read the file carefully, you'll see. [22:47] gnutron: I'm doing it [22:47] Slart : but if i am using an older version of irssi, and atp got a newer version, will it automatically update if i type "sudo apt-get install irssi"? [22:47] heh [22:47] kristian1, it should upgrade. yes [22:47] seems to work [22:48] peter1138, got text ?? [22:48] but "Hardware Drivers" thinks no proprietary drivers are installed... how odd [22:48] kristian1: I don't think so.. I think you'd have to run "apt-get upgrade" for it to upgrade .. I'm not entirely sure though [22:48] I am back [22:48] dr_willis : ok, good! ) === fernando is now known as Guest82585 [22:48] I was talking with roosel [22:48] Slart : hmmm. ok. :( [22:48] peter1138, you got nvidia-settings and accel render ?? etc ?? [22:48] kristian1: you'll only get the version that the repositories are synced with. [22:49] roosel: found that plugin? I'm pretty curious :) [22:49] Guest82585 ok [22:49] kristian1: this is only valid if you installed the older version using apt too... apt cannot upgrade something you installed manually afaik [22:49] kristian1: building newer versions can break dependancies, hence your system. [22:49] kristian1: but this is only a questions of semantics.. right? if you upgrade irssi by running "apt-get install irssi" or "apt-get upgrade" doesn't really matter.. the end result is the same, or? [22:49] gnutron : ok, so will i have to sync the repo myself or does it happen auto? [22:50] roosel : so it seems i am still on 8.04 and I thought I was on 8.10 thx.... no problem with that ... [22:50] Slart : ok, that should be no problem since, i used apt-get to get irssi at first. [22:50] kristian1: update and upgrade will keep you in sync [22:50] peter1138, when you are good to go save that xorg.conf [22:50] kristian1: "sudo apt-get update" will sync your packagelists with the ones from the repos [22:51] but now when I am trying to get updates, my application for updates locks and it is not possible to force it to shut down! [22:51] gnutron & Slart : oh! i thought this was automatic! :-P [22:51] kristian1: it can be, that is configurable. [22:51] kristian1: check in system, administration, software sources, under the "updates" page [22:52] Slart: thank you. [22:52] ok, so now im updated! :D [22:52] welcome back roosel [22:52] well, i dont really need it to be automatic, just wondering. :) [22:52] thanks! :) [22:53] does anyone know a way to make an encrypted file that can be decrypted without other software (except maybe a linux OS), like a self-extracting zip file? [22:53] kristian1: most ppl prefer to be notified first, thats the default setting. [22:53] how to calculate vga value for framebuffer? if I want 1440x900 24bit, what's the correspond vga value? [22:54] ejer: gnupg is a powerful encryption program. [22:54] xiamx: I don't think you calculate it.. you look it up in a list.. google for "vga code" or something like that [22:54] motd/ [22:54] Vantrax: I need a distribution like debian. It ask about if you need a base system or a system with gnome [22:54] gnutron : so sudo apt-get update will sync my list with repo, and sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade everything ive installed according to repo? :) [22:54] ola tudo bem [22:54] ejer: actually, gnupg is the package name. gpg is the program. [22:54] Slart: then how to get the value? [22:54] gnutron: yeah I have used most encryption progs, I want something someone could download on a brand new system and decrypt (maybe with no internet, ie off usb, so I can't assume they can install anything) [22:54] with ubuntu is it posible? [22:54] kristian1: correct [22:55] xiamx: I don't think you calculate it.. you look it up in a list.. google for "vga code" or something like that [22:55] hi all [22:55] I need ubuntu because it have newer package [22:55] anyone know how to change by default the TERM variable to xterm-color in the gnome-terminal ? [22:55] ejer: gpg is the linux equivalent to PGP by phil zimmerman [22:55] gnutron : excellent! :) thanks for your and Slart's time. :) [22:55] kristian1: you're welcome [22:55] when i try "system/administration/ updates/verify" my application for updates get in an infinite loop ... anyone knows how to solve it? [22:55] Slart, ok thanks [22:55] what is the kernel named in ubuntu ? [22:55] gnutron: i know :) I use it... but it is not installed by default [22:56] !info linux-image [22:56] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.27.9.13 (intrepid), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB [22:56] octo_: linux? [22:56] vmlinuz something? I'm not really sure what file contains the kernel.. [22:56] Guest82585 have you made any changes to your sources.list [22:57] what is linux-generic? [22:57] recently, yes ... and I want to know if there are fresh updates [22:57] !info linux-generic [22:57] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.27.9.13 (intrepid), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB [22:57] Guest82585 I would think you have something wrong in there [22:57] octo_: vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic in intrepid [22:58] octo_: neither of these are the actual kernel package though.. check the size.. 2kb is a bit small..

[23:00] kristian1: that signifies updates are ready. [23:00] kristian1: not a stupid question.. I think the update-manager uses apt "behind the scenes" to do the actual work.. [23:00] when a new kernel gets installed via update, doesnt it automatically change menu.lst to use the new kernel ? [23:00] kristian1: so it should be the same either way [23:00] octo_: afaik, yes [23:00] octo_: yes it does update grub. [23:00] i have new than 2.6.24-19 installed but still using -19 in menu.lst [23:00] how can I make it? [23:00] gnutron : ok, but it is the same thing? [23:01] hey all, i can now scroll around a 1440x900 desktop on my no more than im guessing 800x600 screen [23:01] sybux: not sure if this does what you want, but to set env: export TERM=xterm-color [23:01] octo_: I think it run "sudo update-grub" which searches the /boot/ folder for kernels and adds them to the menu.lst [23:01] !pm > dniel [23:01] dniel, please see my private message [23:01] Slart : ok, that is good! :) [23:01] please just point me in the right direction, i cant fix this [23:01] ill try that and see if it works [23:01] kristian1: apt-get update apt-get upgrade does the same thing, correct. [23:01] was edgy 7.04? Is it too late to do a feisty upgrade? I'm trying to get a box up to at least gutsy [23:02] ejer: this is the good thing, but I want it to be by default [23:02] !upgrade | craigbass1976, see if there are any info here [23:02] craigbass1976, see if there are any info here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:02] gnutron : ok tha's what i needed to hear! ::) [23:02] Slart, was 7.04 edgy?

You have all the answers you needed [23:03] Slart & gnutron : this would mean i can keep the machine fully updated from another computer via ssh. :) thanks a lot! :-D [23:03] ejer: thanx, I will have a look [23:03] ok, grub said it found 2.6.24.22-generic, and said it updated menu.lst, but when I look in menu.lst, it didnt change anything ? [23:03] Slart, nope, did a lsb_release -a and I'm in feisty. Wonder why the upgrade borked... [23:04] kristian1: indeed... you can run ubuntu without using gnome/kde.. then apt-get and friends is all you've got [23:04] kristian1: yes you most certainly can. [23:04] Gnome is working much better for me than KDE was so far [23:04] this is my xrandr output, its messed up http://pastebin.com/d17cf4675 [23:04] craigbass1976 because feisty has reached eol [23:04] octo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:05] kristian1: aptitude is yet another option to do the same thing as apt-get or synaptic. [23:05] I kept having issues about KDE becoming non responsive after going into sleep mode [23:05] octo_: you didn't have the file open already before you ran update-grub did you? [23:05] octo run as root [23:05] Jack_Sparrow, right, just got sources.list updated so I can grab stuff [23:06] this version of xchat sucks i cant see the on the server. [23:07] I have a bad vfat on a second harddrive after accidently filling up the space...what took should I apt-get ? [23:07] gnutron : will have a look at that. :) [23:07] to try to fix [23:08] !aptitude [23:08] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [23:08] j [23:08] is it possible to transfer running X applications to a different logged in user? like xchat for example, if I need to log in as a different user but keep it open, without having to switch users all the time to get back to this window? [23:09] I have the latest catalyst drivers, 8.12 installed on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 for amd64. I bought two ATI FireGL V3600's so I can stretch one big desktop across four monitors. I am only able to setup two big desktops: one per gpu, but with two screens each. There is no way to join all four screens to one big desktop. How can I set it up so that i can have one big desktop across all four monitors without enabing xinerama? [23:09] is aptitude really a front end to apt? I'm starting to wonder sometimes.. since I've heard people claim they work differently and not everything installed using aptitude can be uninstalled using apt.. [23:09] Slart: the latter part is nonsense, but aptitude is indeed a bit "sui generis" [23:09] PeskyJ: I don't think there's an easy way.. I tried doing some time ago but all I found was half-finished apps and drivers.. [23:09] Slart: they all use /etc/apt/sources.list [23:09] Slart : dunno! anyways i think ill just stick with apt-get for the time being! :) it's official so. [23:10] where can i get syntax help with aircrack [23:10] Slart: it's got its own logic for handling unused dependencies (it was the first APT interface to have any, before "autoremove" was implemented in Ubuntu's apt-get) [23:10] Slart: i think anyway, pretty sure. [23:10] Slart: I figured out how to run xchat as my user when logged in as someone else, using xhost, just thought it'd be nice if I could transfer it around too [23:11] thank you all.. and thanks Ljl.. my latin vocabulary is a little bit bigger now =) [23:11] five_: have you tried « man » and « programname --help » ? [23:11] five_ not here.. perhaps networking or some other [23:11] PeskyJ: I'm not sure, lart [23:11] thnx i will gtg real quick my son just woke [23:11] arr [23:11] PeskyJ: mm.. it would be nice.. let me know if you find a solution [23:11] art [23:11] yo yo yo checkit [23:11] dahump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:12] Slart & gnutron : this is the last question from me now! i promise! ;-D once ive done sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, i wont have to restart my machine, right? it will upgrade and everything will run fine? hopefully. [23:12] CyberGabber: I use screen on my server machine... I thought it was just a command line thingy.. you mean you can transfer X-apps with it too? [23:12] apt an aptitudes daddy is dselect [23:12] kristian1: you'll have to reboot if you've upgraded your kernel.. but otherwise you should be fine [23:13] kristian1: note.. it won't force you to reboot.. but you won't be running the new kernel until you do [23:13] Slart : what if i am running irssi and then i upgrade irssi, will there be no problem? [23:13] Slart : ok, thats good. :) [23:13] PeskyJ: I'm sorry, only tested it once with terminals. [23:13] is there a list or something to see typical outputs of sensors (from lm-sensors) for various processors? [23:13] kristian1: I'm not really sure about that one.. === Mez_ is now known as Mez [23:14] kristian1: my personal guess is that you'll keep running the older one until you restart it [23:14] Slart : alright no problem. i got a lot of help so thanks. [23:14] kristian1: it should be ok, but you will have to restart to run th enew version fo rmost apps.. some apps might have a soft-reboot where they save-state, restart, and reload state [23:14] is the program adepto in the repos, or is that something e-fence adds to their Helix ubuntu version ? [23:14] how come it takes so long for bugs to get processed? Isn't there a whole team of people working to triage them more quickly? [23:15] I am sharing files on a vista computer that I can access from other computers(xp and vista) but unable to access with ubunutu, I can see the computer with the files on it but the shared folders are not there. Any suggestions or ideas? [23:15] octo_: I've never heard of it.. what is it? [23:15] PeskyJ : ok, as long as nothing stops running, all is good. [23:15] drowned: they work for free, takes time. [23:15] drowned, im sure there is but as its open source im pretty sure they have regular jobs too [23:15] drowned: since you're here you're a part of that team.. =) I don't think they have people sitting around waiting for bugs === ogra__ is now known as ogra [23:16] kristian1: if you use 'screen' and you update it, you'd better restart it asap as I think it does some stuff dynamically and gets a bit confused if you leave it running [23:16] does anyone have sensors installed and own core duo 2? [23:16] !samba > Rew [23:16] Rew, please see my private message [23:16] drowned: because linux and distros are not big corporations. and even big corporations have limited resources. in linux most things are worked on for free, part-time or what have you. something to think about [23:16] Jack_Sparrow I have samba installed [23:17] PeskyJ : yeah, im using screen. thanks for the heads up. :) whenever i update i guess ill just shut down everything for a small period of time, and let it update and reboot if kernal update. :-D [23:17] Can i upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 using the normal CD i.e not the alternate CD???? [23:18] Speaking of shared Windows folders, is it common to see file copy errors from a shared NTFS network drive when copying files to my EXT3 partitions? [23:18] kristian1: it's a bit annoying for screen as you kinda want to leave all the stuff you have in there running, but yeah, that's recommended === afief_ is now known as afief_away [23:18] Jack_Sparrow, error during update a problem occurred during update... blahblah some sort of network problem... Any idea? I'm trying to go from feisty to gutsy [23:18] LjL: thanks wish freenode would ban mibbit [23:19] Ola [23:19] what's CTCP Version? [23:19] kitche: no reason, it's not an anonymous proxy. [23:19] PeskyJ : true, but ill live atm. only thing im running in screen after detach is irssi, so not a big deal. :-D [23:19] badawi: a message to request the version string of your IRC client [23:19] badawi: it's to see what version of IRC client someone is using [23:19] LjL: why od you moded +b users? [23:19] mode +e * [23:20] Thehelpfulone: ask in #ubuntu-ops if you want to know, it's not really ontopic here [23:20] craigbass1976 it probably cant find fiesty to get you started.. since it is eol [23:20] how can do a simple read/write speed test on a mounted hard drive, without damaging any data? [23:20] badawi: what kind and what version... if you CTCP version me it should show xchat [23:20] un_dave, see man hdparm [23:20] Jack_Sparrow, balls... have to reinstall? I just did this the other day, did the repos dry up in a week? [23:21] !feisty [23:21] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [23:21] craigbass1976 not too much over a week [23:21] !samba > derklempner [23:21] derklempner, please see my private message [23:21] Jack_Sparrow, really though, I did a fresh feisty install (it was the disc I had handy, and I needed old FF and Tbird to import into) then did the upgrades. Last week [23:22] rrplay: i was reading about hdparm. but i'm not sure if i can use it without it writing over my data [23:22] craigbass1976 there are the old repos.. but I dont see how you did regular updates when the eol has passed [23:23] Jack_Sparrow, I didn't install anything extra except vim and thunderbird [23:23] Jack_Sparrow, waited until I wa sat hardy to install whtat the person would need [23:23] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [23:24] un_dave, you will not overwrite anything just read the basics [23:24] how do I list the dns domain name in terminal? [23:24] Scunizi: whois domain.tld [23:24] rrplay: ok. so it looks like i just use the -t command. will it work on raid devices? [23:25] un_dave That sounds like a recipe for disaster [23:26] Scunizi: whois, dig, host, nslookup all good tools. [23:26] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, that's what i thought :S [23:26] gnutron: that might work in the irc client.. however I'm looking for the reference for my machine.. maybe nslookup? [23:27] un_dave a true hardware raid, not the onboard imitation one, would have no problems.. but the other.. scarry [23:27] Scunizi: those aren't irc commands. [23:27] How can I browse to a shared network drive through the command prompt? [23:27] ciao [23:27] how come 8.04 has 2 different kernel boot options ? [23:27] Scunizi: well, whois is.

[23:30] how do i find what driver is installed for my wifi card? [23:30] Scunizi: whois your own domain [23:30] is sudo only for ubuntu/debian? [23:30] !WAMP [23:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about WAMP [23:30] !sudo [23:30] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

It has a parameter 'directory' which would lead me to beleieve it should just operate within a defined directory, and be pretty safe. [23:33] gnutron: can changing dns references in my setup speed access to the net. That is can/might/maybe speed access. [23:33] hi, I am trying to run Songbird but got this error. http://pastebin.com/m16b7d458 can any one help me? [23:33] Can anyone help me with my GRUB problems?

[23:34] InfamousBytes: whats your problem? [23:34] ive asked this allready but meh [23:35] Scunizi: you need to talk to a networking specialist for that. [23:35] is there any good tecno music making softwear for linux? [23:35] native [23:35] anyone know of any equalizer packages? [23:35] can /boot partition be on RAID1 device? [23:35] if you sudo mv will it merge or delete/replace a folder? [23:36] russK: is raid1 mirror or stripe? i forget [23:36] keres_: mv will move anything anywhere if its allowed. [23:36] raid1 is mirror (i believe - that's my intent) [23:36] is there a net split going on? [23:36] I am really surprised there are not any linux equalizer pacakges or controls :-/ [23:36] russK: in theory, you can boot off mirror, because it just sees one instance of the drive, and uses that. [23:36] keres_: avoid mv to different filesystems [23:37] gbear14275-> what does that do? [23:37] j/ #mutt [23:37] russK: i attempted to setup that with my current system. 100mb partitions on each drive, mirrored, and then the remaining in a raid5 array. [23:37] un_dave: thanks, i think it's possible but i don't see how to convince installer to see the device [23:37] how do i change the mac address of a virtual interface? === ChrisBookwood_Ee is now known as ChrisBookwoodEee [23:38] my cpu is using 100% while I watch avi files with totem..... with past versions it never was that high any idea why anyone? [23:38] using kboincspy, how do I get a Client State File for an external server? [23:38] I need to move a copy of /home into the parent directory (I copied the old /home to a partition in preparation to move /home off of the root partition (user error upon install)) but ended up with an extraneous home folder in the tree (eg: /media/newhome/home) so when I try to mount the partition as /home it looks like /home/home. I know I need to grab all the hidden files and links so what command can I use to do that? [23:38] n8tuser2: basically an equalizer adjusts the sound output of certain frequincies... the treble/bass controls on your radio is in effect a 2 band equalizer [23:38] russK: i think i managed to get it to boot from the mirror, but never managed to get it to mount the rest of the raid 5, to start the rest of the system. [23:38] un_dave: also, grub docs don't say much about it [23:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: that usually indicates a memory leak or other problem. [23:39] gnutron memory leak? [23:39] russK: yeah. on topics like that, i found the documentation very very sparse [23:39] a 31 band EQ for short would have controls to cut up to 31 different different frequency ranges [23:39] I am using ubuntu 8.10 and Amarok 2.0, my thinkpad r61 multimedia keys are not working with amarok. Rhythmbox is just working fine. [23:39] un_dave: did you use ubuntu installer? I had this working with gentoo - they have a good guide [23:39] U-b-u-n-t-u: poorly written code can easily 'leak' memory. [23:39] hey guys i was just in here looking for some help to back up a hdd... [23:39] russK: i was assured it could be done, but no one was sure how [23:39] you will commonly find, 2, 3, 5 and 7 band eq's [23:39] but im a little lost [23:39] Can anyone assist me on auto-mounting a shared network drive that uses NTFS? [23:40] gbear14275-> oh okay, i thought its related to ubuntu admin stuff [23:40] russK: hang on and i'll find my ubuntu post about it. [23:40] gnutron but this is a freshly installed version of 8.10 [23:40] n8tuser2: nope sorry... sound stuff [23:40] i guess i have to ask again...what is the best way to image an internal laptop to a 2.5 inch hdd connected via a sata2usb connector [23:40] un_dave: the gentoo guide for software raid with lvm2 is nice, but i can't convince ubuntu installer to do the same [23:40] Can anyone suggest a good WYSIWYG LaTeX editor?

[23:43] U-b-u-n-t-u: re-install totem might help. not sure. [23:43] russK: i'd be curious to know what you think about the way i did it.
