[00:00] doug___, yes, assuming the second is larger than the first [00:00] <\slash> isnt there a way from terminal to get internet ip? [00:00] \slash: the freenode server resolves your numeric to your fqdn address [00:00] gnutron: yes kind of hard if he's on a bouncer [00:00] \slash, whats the reason your trying to do it via command line? [00:00] kitche: true [00:00] <\slash> i can get my real ip many ways, conecting without bouncer, whatsmyipaddress.com, etc but im tryin to achieve this through terminal [00:01] \slash: ifconfig -a but that will only show you your internal ip not your external ip or you can just install curl and do curl -s whatismyip.com [00:01] if i can get an estimate how long would it take to backup a 100gb ubuntu install to another drive via usb [00:01] <\slash> thanks for the help guys [00:01] \slash: the internal IP address *is* the "real" IP. that's how routing works. [00:01] All I know is, it tried to install a kernel, And then ubuntu crashed when i tried to reboot. And Firefox doesn't connect the net. [00:01] \slash: you're looking for the external IP assigned to your router. [00:01] \slash: whois, host, dig, nslookup are useful tools from a terminal. [00:02] \slash: you could use w3m to access the router's interface. if it will let you. [00:02] <\slash> mneptok in ifconfig only shows 198.0.0.* [00:02] doug___, depends on the speed of the drives, but probably an hour [00:02] \slash: and that's your IP address. [00:02] <\slash> thats my network ipaddy not internet addy [00:02] \slash : cmd doesnt show internet add either. [00:02] \slash, thats a local private IP address not the external address [00:02] ip* [00:02] \slash: correct. the external IP is assigned to the *router* [00:02] \slash: your on a non-world routeable subnet. NAT does the translation. [00:03] \slash, your machine doesnt know your external address thats the point of NAT, its held by your router [00:03] \slash: that makes you very safe. [00:03] \slash: so what you're asking is "is there a way for Linux to go across a network and query another device and get its interface information?" and i hope not. not easily. [00:03] gnutron, well... kinda safe [00:03] Vantrax: true, firewalls can be pierced. [00:03] <\slash> i wanna get my router's ip in order to connect to my ubuntu from work, but im tryin to do so through terminal. [00:04] mneptok, there isnt, unless you can use w3m to query your router [00:04] Something's wrong with my wine, I think. I just installed it today. Am new to linux. Just as a test i tried the command wine wmlaunch.exe which is the windows media player. I know there are better players in linux, it's just a test. and i got this: http://pastebin.com/d3411a7ea What am I doing wrong? [00:04] Vantrax: i think i just said that ;) [00:04] <\slash> i'll just do it my way [00:04] \slash: you what dynamic DNS. [00:04] *want [00:04] <\slash> yeah [00:04] <\slash> how do i obtain that [00:04] http://www.dyndnscom [00:04] +. [00:05] Need some help please, somehow my network configuration says that my subnet is 22, so I can't connect to the web. When I try to change it, the network manager says that the connection is read only. All help is welcome! [00:05] <\slash> i can connect through mirc without bouncer and just do dns \slash.. but i want a way through terminal [00:05] <\slash> nevermind yo thanks guys [00:05] user___q, it means your wm called a dll that wine doesnt know [00:05] how big should the boot partition be? [00:05] I was having problems with VLC in ubuntu, even after removing it and reinstalling the problem was there. So I did a "whereis vlc" and deleted all the files it listed after uninstalling it. Now I reinstall and get an error.. "failed to execute child process 'vlc'" any ideas how to fix this? [00:05] user___q, id recommend using VLC [00:05] my system is hosed, downloading the latest livedisk, wiping the harddrive and starting from scratch [00:06] nottaken, i would recommend 10gb+ [00:06] \slash: dyndns.com will re-direct requests to yourown private owned domain if you run a DNS server. [00:06] nottaken: /boot, or / ? [00:06] Vantrax: and did i install wine wrongly than? Or are there other packages i need to inlcude? Actually i don't even like windows media player. It was a test whether i can run windows programs on linux [00:06] But with other programs happens the same [00:06] /boot [00:07] nottaken: /boot can be ~300MB safely [00:07] user___q, you might have installed it wrong, or missed a step [00:07] \slash: http://www.icann.org/ can explain how things are done. [00:07] user___q, you installed it from the repository? [00:08] Vantrax: yes, i clicked on wine in synaptic and it autochecke also wine gecko an then i hit aply. even tried reinstalling it [00:08] good morning all :) [00:08] ~$ vlc [00:08] The program 'vlc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:. sudo apt-get install vlc-nox. bash: vlc: command not found [00:08] Places -> Network -> Windows Network -> MSHOME does not show my server's samba shares...why wont it see it? [00:08] Wage14: check your sound/audio menu [00:08] this is wierd but my laptop webcam records video upside down [00:09] eli_: that's cool [00:09] Wage14, check you have purged it in synaptic then reinstall [00:09] Im not too sure... and it doesn't work half the time [00:09] I was having problems with VLC in ubuntu, even after removing it and reinstalling the problem was there. So I did a "whereis vlc" and deleted all the files it listed after uninstalling it. Now I reinstall and get an error.. "failed to execute child process 'vlc'" any ideas how to fix this? [00:09] i did apt-get remove vlc and then reinstalled [00:09] it works with flash and halfway in some other apps [00:10] its not putting files in /usr/bin or anything [00:10] Wage14: how about sudo apt-get -f install ? [00:10] when i run ifconfig i have vnet0, i'm not sure how i got that, anyone knows to what package it belongs? [00:10] Wage14, remove it through synaptic and say mark for complete removal [00:10] badawi: do you have vmware installed or virtualbox? [00:11] virtual network [00:11] so vm of some sort [00:11] anyone else find they're unable to connect to the internet with google programs (for windows)? [00:11] like chrome, or gtalk [00:11] kitche: virtual box, but i don't think vbox installed it :/ [00:11] 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? [00:12] user___q, try doing a mark for complete removal in synaptec and installing it via add/remove [00:12] hey. How can I know if my graphic card is working? [00:12] kitche: i.e. i don't see it in /etc/vbox/interface [00:12] badawi: it does it's autogenerated when it hooks into your kernel without it your VM's would have no network [00:12] duanedesign, ARE YOU IN LAKESIDE, CA? [00:12] Anyone familiar with the 'Intel HDA audio with a Sigmatel STAC9228'? After pressing volume down three times it's as if I have muted my sound. Any help? [00:12] oops caps [00:12] why is my ipod being accessed as read only? [00:12] hey guys... Im on intrepid and when windows xp loads the boot up sound in my virtual box, it sounds under water and staticky. How can I fix this please? [00:12] alright: new user, having major problems with wine and ati [00:12] xoom: up the volume [00:13] gnutron: the volume is maxed, I have checked all the volume setting and even changed mixers [00:13] fluffywarthog, more detail is good [00:13] danielbw: nope, why do you ask? [00:13] still not working, tried what ari_stress and Vantrax said [00:14] I'm looking for a simple sound output equalizer with visualizations... is anyone familiar with linux audio that might be able to help? [00:14] Ubuntu 8.04, Dell 6400 machine, ati x1400, wine 1.1.10 [00:14] i know someone frome there named duane that designs graphics [00:14] Does anyone know about an error that would cause an ipod to be repeatedly mounted as read only, /dev/sdb1, even though there seems to be a file pre-written indicating how ipods should be handled in /etc/fstab? [00:14] duanedesign, ^^ [00:14] in 8.04 [00:14] Vantrax is add/remove better than synaptic? [00:14] 3d acceleration is not working properly [00:14] anyone know a way to edit the menu for all users (ie not via alacarte which does it by adding options to /home) [00:14] user___q, it does things a little more safely [00:14] fluffy, C640 Latitude? [00:15] ok [00:15] xoom: i don't know [00:15] nobody? [00:15] user___q, its harder to break basically, synaptic is a little harder, then commandline is the easiest to mess up [00:15] <\Kira> If I set up port forwarding, how do I cancel it? Will the command keep running, allowing me to ctrl-c out, or is there a different way? [00:15] fluffywarthog, if you check my blog @ randomwritingsetc.blogspot.com, I fixed my ati card issues and listed links to my sources... should be either the most recent post or one near it [00:16] thanx. will do [00:16] danielbw: ahhhh. nope just a coincidence [00:16] anyone know a way to edit the menu for all users (ie not via alacarte which does it by adding options to /home)? [00:16] anyone know anything about ALSA or linux audio? [00:16] I'm begging, surely something knows about this ipod mount issue? please? [00:17] \Kira: what did you use? turn off iptables [00:17] duanedesign, yeah, heh [00:17] gbear, I know a tiny bit... I know I fixed my pulse issues recently by following an excellent howto on the ubuntu forums that I could give you the link to. [00:17] kajo: most likely your user does not have permission to edit the mount point/ipod [00:17] <\Kira> gnutron: well, I havnt done anything yet, but Im just testing it out, I dont want the port forwarding to be permanent, so how could I cancel it? [00:17] kajo: better to just state the actual issue, otherwise how would someone know if they about it...? [00:17] jrib, I did... thought repeating would be rude. [00:17] re [00:18] how do i permanently change xrandr? [00:18] kitche, how do I edit user permissions like this? [00:18] kajo: not repeating is rude [00:18] <\Kira> gnutron: this is the command I was going to use: sudo ssh -f kira@192.168.1.100 -L 80:192.168.1.100:80. Or at least its similar to that [00:18] !x > moDumass [00:18] moDumass, please see my private message [00:18] \Kira: quit without saving [00:18] jrib, then if you do, you are damned, and if you don't, you are damned. You can chastise me for repeating my question over and over, or for being too vague... [00:18] how can i test my graphic card? [00:18] kajo: just ask your question with details and repeat in a reasonable timeframe... [00:19] \Kira: kill the process [00:19] juancabrito, from a terminal type glxgears [00:19] <\Kira> gnutron: okay, thanks. I just wanted to check to see that there was a easy way before I tried it. [00:19] Newbee on Ubuntu (8.10) request help. I have searched almost the whole web, without any luck. All video & music on my computer his been played in slow motion. (HP Pavilion Dv4 with HDA-Intel sound card) [00:19] Can it unless you want to be helpful. If you just want to see my question again, ask or scroll up, don't act like I'm doing something wrong. "Reasonable timeframe" is completely subjective... [00:19] ok, from the package manager i did a search for vlc and removed all the packages that were linked to vlc, that fixed it. thanks :) [00:19] @jrib [00:20] does anyone know how to install previous versions of flash? [00:20] LMosze, I used to have that problem... I think it got fixed when I got correct codecs. It also played in black and white on mine. [00:20] redshadowhero, why are you trying to do that [00:20] redshadowhero, just yet more bugs [00:20] i turned off computer and back on and now all i have is 640x480 resoultion [00:21] linuxman410 same here and its eating my brain [00:21] does any one know how to fix [00:21] does anyone here use tehorng? [00:21] linuxman410, what version you using? [00:21] mrwes: thank you. for the animation I suppose it's working, but when I move the window it lefts an still image of the gears... could it be working poorly? [00:21] Kajo : I have downloaded all the updates & codecs, but it still doesn't work [00:21] Not sure I've made it that far [00:21] 8.10 [00:21] linuxman410, which gfx card/chipset? [00:21] Paddy_EIRE: well, flash stops loading on many youtube sites, and I've seen the suggestion of doing back to flash 8 (or 9, can't remember) [00:21] LMosze, do you have all the repos enabled? [00:21] kajo: I'm just telling you how to act to increase your chances of getting help. etiquette in this room is to just repeat the question instead of just following it with "can anybody help me?" or similar. Also, please be respectful of others here [00:21] nvidia geforce 4 [00:22] are there any games in the repos that work well with wacom tablets? [00:22] When I hit backspace too often or do other wrong stuff my laptop gives off a loud beep even when muted, how can I disable it? [00:22] Kajo: I'm sorry, but what is a repo?? [00:22] redshadowhero, What are you currently using? [00:22] anyone know a way to edit the menu for all users (ie not via alacarte which does it by adding options to /home) [00:22] sound people? === afief_away is now known as afief [00:22] LMosze, repository [00:22] Hello, does anyone have the sound up and down buttons working on a Thinkpad X40 in 8.04? Thank you. [00:22] what you after gbear14275 [00:22] linuxman410, wanna narrow that down a little ;) [00:22] Paddy_EIRE: actually, its for a friend. My 'buntu laptop is currently in a few pieces. He's running 8.04, though. [00:22] afief: i have unloaded the pcspeaker-modul [00:23] yeah geforce 4 440mx [00:23] redshadowhero, "adobe-flashplugin" is what you should be looking for [00:23] Kajo: I'm pretty new in the linux world, may u please explain to me what that is [00:23] visual display of output and an eq [00:23] jrib, you called me rude for something extremely silly. I don't want to hear you talking about ettiquette. You decided to randomly say I was doing something wrong when I was being completely reasonable. [00:23] DIFH-iceroot, I know that "xset b off; xset b 0 0 0" does remove the beep, but it's not permanent [00:23] I've tested my graphic card with glxgears and for the animation I suppose it's working, but when I move the window it lefts an still image of the gears... could it be performing poorly? [00:23] having problems whenever I try to start up pandora and any sort of audio program at the same time... [00:23] atticstorm: they work for me on T61 with 8.04 [00:23] Paddy_EIRE: lets check that; hold on a sec. [00:24] afief: unload the kernel-modul i mean, search with lsmod and unload the speaker-modul [00:24] Vantrax: I apologize for not using your name but yes... simple eq and visualization [00:24] !repositories [00:24] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:24] afief: or add your command to your .bashrc [00:24] LMosze !repositories [00:24] hmm. [00:24] Does Ubuntu already have multi touch screens? I saw many prototypes for this feature but I never head anything about this being included in some distro already.. [00:24] !repositories LMosze [00:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:24] DIFH-iceroot, .bashrc gets loaded when I run an X session? [00:24] thanks, I'll look it up [00:24] redshadowhero, I dont know about 8.04 but I have it in the "partners" repository.. its the best version your likely to get yet [00:24] afief: no, when you login [00:24] has anyone here ever used the hd benchmarking tool, bonnie++ ? [00:25] ianm_ They worked on my x20 out of the box, but not on the x40. Also when I uses the volume slider on the top row nata. I can even mute there but I get full volume. [00:25] !avahi [00:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi [00:25] !glx [00:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about glx [00:25] LMosze, no prob. [00:25] DIFH-iceroot, works for me:D thanks [00:25] Kajo: Still a new user, and not entirely sure how to go about this; are there any beginner-intermediate how-to's for fixing ati drivers? [00:25] !women [00:25] 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. [00:25] Hello, does Ubuntu install a new kernel everytime I use the update Ubuntu feature? [00:25] almark, no [00:25] linuxman410: sudo nvidia-settings [00:25] Just had a question about PDFs/Evince, some PDFs open up like they were typed on a typewriter in Evince for some reason, but on a windows computer with foxit/adobe, they show up well and clean. Any ideas why/how to fix this? [00:26] !ati | fluffywarthog [00:26] fluffywarthog: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:26] !pdf | vock [00:26] vock: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [00:26] Vantrax i tried, didn't work out [00:26] :mrwes Then I wonder why when i installed the update it said linux image something rather it cant not update something n /boot my kernel stuff is is /boot/ubuntustudio not just/boot [00:26] Paddy_EIRE: could you give me the exact repository line to add to the list? I'm talking to him through MSN, and I don't exactly have a 'buntu machine around to test with. [00:27] gbear14275, you using pulse audio or alsa [00:27] sorry for the typos geez [00:27] still just have 640x480 in there 2 [00:27] redshadowhero, It will not work for 8.04 I am on intrepid.. let me see if there is a ppa [00:27] almark, no idea [00:27] user___q, no idea then sorry, i never had too many troubles with it, tho it was a fair while ago [00:27] vock, basically the best way to get clean pdf is to use acrobat reader, but do provide the pdf that gives you trouble, would love to see why it does that so we can improve linux pdf [00:27] never used ubuntu studio [00:27] when i type sudo nvidia-settings [00:28] Paddy_EIRE: ah. Thanks for being patient with me, though. [00:28] :mrwes are you aware of what the update installs to Ubuntu, I mean do you know what it installs last? [00:28] afief: want me to dcc send it to you or upload elsewhere? [00:28] anyone knows if it's possible to print on a windows network printer from an ubuntu box? Is there a way I can configure ubuntu so I can map the printer from a windows network to ubuntu? [00:28] vock, whichever works for you:) [00:28] Vantrax: Thank you anyway. :-) I just need it for very few programs. I sure will find a way.... thx [00:29] mezquitale: I do not know the details, but this can be done with "SAMBA". [00:29] vock, if it isn't too much trouble, a screenshot of how it should look would be helpful, I have no windows machines around [00:30] redshadowhero, well we may have to use the adobe package itself :( [00:30] sure, I think the port for the DCC is blocked as well, so maybe i'll just get it all together in a .rar or something and send it to you [00:30] mezquitale, is it a networked printer, or a printer shared via windows networking (ie samba) [00:30] atticstorm, i can configure samba to to share resources on my linux box, yes but i am talking about a printer on a windows printer server, not on a samba server [00:30] Paddy_EIRE: from the site, or the repositories? [00:30] redshadowhero, seems there is no repo for flash 10 on hardy.. none that I can find anyway [00:31] Paddy_EIRE: alright. [00:31] so [00:31] 1 sec [00:31] need help with compiz fusion [00:31] anyone know a way to edit the menu for all users (ie not via alacarte which does it by adding options to /home) [00:31] Vantrax: alsa i believe but am not 100% [00:31] Mezquitale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers [00:31] vock, thanks, I gave you my address on private [00:31] Vantrax, im at the library and there are printers here that are used by laptops using windows, im wondering if there is a way to map printers on a windows printer server to ubuntu [00:31] mezquitale: I thought that when a person logs into the Windows network with SAMBA they then can use the networked printer??? [00:31] anybody know how to - chown: invalid user: 'apache' [00:32] Hi, someone here have a problem installing the Flashplugin-nonfree :( can someone help me pleases? [00:32] is apache the correct user? maybe its www or httpd [00:32] kattollikisd: error-message? [00:32] mezquitale, are they plugged into pcs that you browse to to connect on windows? [00:32] Paddy_EIRE: I'm telling him to get it from the site right now. Looks like they have a .deb installer. [00:32] redshadowhero, good news.. there is a .deb on the adobe website http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [00:32] redshadowhero, ah you got it :) [00:32] Paddy_EIRE: only one step ahead of ya this time :P [00:32] mezquitale, does the printer have an IP? then yes [00:33] gbear14275, head to system->prefs->sound and run the tests [00:33] ibm_: you mean www-data? [00:33] redshadowhero, always good to hear :) [00:33] mrwes, thank you for the link, that should have the documentation I need [00:33] ~mrwes [00:33] ~mrwes++ [00:33] could some expert tell me what is the safest way to update Hardy's network manager to version 0.7? [00:33] Paddy_EIRE: I'm not that *bad* with *nix, but its hard when I don't have a 'buntu machine lying around, and I can't physically/remotely touch the machine in question, that's all. [00:33] mezquitale, you can just do basic IP print if they are directly connected to the network, else you have to print via samba or lpr [00:33] hey all [00:34] mezquitale, no problem, I have a printer on my ubuntu desktop and my ubuntu laptop and windows laptop print to it fine [00:34] I have a bit of a problem. I've recently moved my sister from windows to linux. Mostly, this works fine, however, I can't get her visor hotsyncing. I suspect this is due to a lack of USB driver support for visors. Could anyone suggest where I might look for either a visor usb driver that works with ubuntu, build instructions to compile one myself or a workaround? [00:34] Does anyone know how to configure the IBM ThinkPad X40 sound buttons. They are not working for me in 8.04. Did google, but no luck. [00:34] oss? [00:34] jrib, thanks ive been trying to add a new mode, for ages but i think im just mashing, because i can never after adding it change to it [00:34] Vantrax: oss? [00:34] its like xrandr doesnt see the change - so im guessing it isnt being made [00:34] I have a question concerning partitioning [00:34] comfiz fusion not working after upgrade to 8.10 [00:34] DIFH-iceroot: i tried to install it.... and the last sentence say "Plugin not installed, It supost to connect so "some" website... look like the website is field. you have the same problem? [00:34] atticstorm, http://www.leopold.dk/~martin/IBMx40UbuntuInstall.html [00:34] pb11, I can try to help. What is the issue? [00:35] Vantrax, mrwes pointed me to the right direction, thanks for the 411 [00:35] how do you restart Deskbar-applet? [00:35] kattollikisd: i am not using flashplugin-nonfree, i am using the new flash 10 (adobeflash-nonfree or something like that in hardy) [00:35] it does not work at all [00:35] My computer is already comes with two partitions. If I wanted to make a third for my ubuntu installation, would I be able to take bits free space form both of the old ones? [00:35] I type : chown -v apache -R /tmp/data/ & got a reply chown: invalid user: 'apache' [00:35] gbear14275, try setting them to auto detect and see if that helps [00:35] ibm_: the user is called www-data and not apache [00:35] kattollikisd, tell me what you are trying to do? [00:35] Paddy_EIRE: Thank you, I will give it a try. [00:36] I'm tried to install lm_sensors and at the end of install sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet I didn't work or install right. Did it try to update my kernel it tried to install something in /boot [00:36] atticstorm, there are loads of support for those lovely laptops :) === Administrator__ is now known as AidenXi [00:36] atticstorm, http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=ThinkPad+X40+ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D [00:36] hi all - I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a brand-new thinkpad with a brand-new SSD drive.

[01:48] I right click fusion-icon, I click "Use window manager: Compiz" and my window decoration goes away, and I can no longer interact with basic things like clicking a window etc [01:48] mintonr-> and see what you get if you do iwlist wlan0 scan [01:48] can anyone direct me towards a chan where i can get help with aircrack suite [01:48] ok let me try that [01:48] brb [01:48] okay [01:49] thanks for the info guys [01:49] CapaH: Are there conflicting drivers? [01:49] five: try their website? [01:49] !clone | rebel [01:49] rebel: 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 [01:49] How can i get Ubuntu MID ? [01:49] n8tuser-> That worked and I can browse right now. But how can I fix it so there is a secure connection? [01:49] n8tuser2: thank you for the help, i think i will just do that [01:49] rebel-> you did get what i said about 1o versus lo right? [01:49] gnutron ive looked through it, really need to find someone i can ask a few simple questions [01:49] qcjn, the regular /etc/hosts file? [01:49] keepsake: How can I check [01:49] Stargazer: what is MID? [01:49] there *could* be but I doubt it since nvidia seems to work fine [01:50] CapaH: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [01:50] n8tuser2: it is1o is that correct? [01:50] Gnea: MID is for phones. [01:50] rebel-> no you did not have a typo earlier, you really have a 1o so change it to lo thats an ell [01:50] qcjn: be back later. [01:50] Stargazer: I don't understand. [01:51] Gnea: mobile phones. cell phones. [01:51] how do you check whether a file is empty? [01:51] keepsake, No conflicts [01:51] n8tuser2: changed... no effect [01:51] just this nvidia driver is enabled [01:51] craigbass1976: well, i'm having problem's connecting with ssh [01:51] Stargazer: still not understanding your question - are you asking if there's a version of Ubuntu that will install on a cellphone? [01:51] qcjn, connecting what to what? [01:51] qcjn, I just walked in so I didn't see your previous conversation [01:52] morning [01:52] shitbowl: kindly change your nickname, please. [01:52] rebel-> you have to paste the error, i cant guess [01:52] jedi06, ls -l the file. If it's 0, it's empty [01:52] Anyone know why compiz wont start? [01:52] Gnea: ubuntu mid is for mobiles, i just don't know how to get a copy. [01:52] CapaH: Hmm, I don't know then, sorry =\, have you tried reinstalling drivers? [01:52] craigbass1976: you know about ssh ? [01:52] keepsake: yes [01:52] keepsake: I think its a compiz/issue or xorg.conf or something [01:52] n8tuser-> That worked and I can browse right now. But how can I fix it so there is a secure connection? [01:52] qcjn, I do. What cooking? You're logging into a new ubunt install? [01:52] n8tuser2: same error as previously pasted, im just restoring manually [01:52] rebel-> also i want to make sure, paste your interfaces file again after you modified.

[01:57] mrwes: nothing left to do but to try it! [01:57] n8tuser2-> no I am on a diff pc than ubuntu, I pulled my router utility page.... should i be somewhere else? [01:57] craigbass1976: just now i,ve mange to get to the password, it seem's to wan,t to connect , but it doesn't show the prompt like ususal [01:58] nope [01:58] craigbass1976: ok, it showa the prompt, but it took for ever [01:58] mintonr-> you should be able to browse the AP configs from any pc that is connected to it, wireless or otherwise [01:58] qcjn, I've noticed that Ubuntu is wicked slow in asking for a password the first few times I ssh in from a particular box. It's ALWAYS slow when I'm using putty [01:59] qcjn, that is probably your problem too. Are you using putty? [01:59] its not ubuntu, its not putty its the winblows running putty [01:59] Mr_Cool59:Did you run 'sudo' before you open X.org? [01:59] ANYONE KNOW where the equivalent of /var/log/secure is in Ubuntu? Where are ssh attempts logged? [01:59] ive noticed the ssh taking time also.. I think its some security methods its trying befor asking ror the password [02:00] Is there a way to make the wireless card more powerful. OS X has better range than Ubuntu [02:00] craigbass1976: /var/log/auth.log [02:00] j_xinudsb, perhaprs it's just the first time from a linux box logging into a new ub install. [02:00] n8tuser2-> ok, i typed my router ip in and got my wireless router setup utility, i clicked on "Use As Access Point" in the menu and its currently disabled, should I enable it? [02:00] jrgp, criminy... what was I thinking.... [02:00] NotADJ-> its dependent on the driver features and firmware [02:01] n8tuser2: MacBookPro [02:01] iwconfig txpower? [02:01] mintonr, I believe that if you do that, your router will stop being a dhcp/dns server for your wireless lan. It's how I have mine set up, but that is becuase I want my firewall box giving out addresses and so forth [02:01] is it possible to "black list" a pkg so it wont get upgraded by apt?

[02:02] mintonr-> do you want it to become an AP ? infrastructure or adhoc? [02:02] maek: look for apt-get hold [02:02] qcjn, so, you have an existing 8.04 install that you're trying to log into from another box that you have used for a while logging into this? [02:03] no, i just open the program form the system ->admin -> nvidia x server settings [02:03] qcjn, I would log into it, then tail -f /var/log/auth.log, then open up another terminal and log into it again, and watch what's going on in the log file [02:03] NotADJ-> you have to dig up on what the driver capabilities are, it may be different from the version for mac [02:03] chfwiggum: thanks [02:04] i got a dumb question i guess but what's the meaning of "sudo"? [02:04] n8tuser2-> Whatever works, I am new to wireless networks. I plugged it in, set the access code and set thee accesss code on my 2 wireless pcs and it was connected. So however I can get it to work with Ubuntu would be great.... [02:04] qcjn, I've got to go, but I will come back in from the gutsy livecd [02:04] craigbass1976: i have 2 computers with ubuntu 8.04 [02:04] juan: SU do, super use do "this" sudo make me a sandwitch [02:04] sudo - super user do [02:04] juan" 'superuser' [02:04] Mr_Cool59:you [02:04] su means switch user [02:04] and what's mounting??? in teh case of a HD?

Ask him to uninstall the flash plugin and put in adobe's. [02:14] Mr_Cool59:I have not enough knowlege about TV connection,I'm sorry. [02:14] does ssh changes port or what ? [02:15] qcjn; not unless you tell it to. [02:15] alarond i didnt' know there where other available [02:15] help with aircrack suite?

[02:16] five_: You're welcome [02:17] bah sorry santor I thoguht you were responding to a different question hahaha [02:17] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm trying to add custom resolutions in Ubuntu Intrepid. The way I used to do it in Hardy, by adding display subsections in Screen, isn't working anymore. Does anyone know how it's supposed to be done now? [02:17] santor: when mozilla gets to a page with flash content, it says it needs additonal plugins, and displays a list of available plugins. [02:17] anyone know why I would be getting slow internet access after a change from debian to ubuntu 8.1? [02:17] having a grub issue: I just installed XP and restored grub using a LiveCD... however, when trying to boot into WindowsXP, I get an error: "Invalid device". According to my menu.lst, it's selecting the right partition. What's going on? [02:17] Is there a way to install a package for fiesty fawn instead of hoary hedgehog, I have hte .deb file. [02:18] santor: so, in mozilla, disable the present flash plugin, go to adobe's homepage, download the .deb file of Flash Player. [02:18] hikenboot, what is your MTU size? [02:18] alarond: he gets a grey box with an arrow, when he clicks it the flash plays, he has something installed for flash [02:18] bastid_raZor: well, i've made a tail -f /var/log/auth.log, and look http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1283189 [02:18] alarond: i have it installed right from apt-get and it works, i'd rather stick with apt-get since i'm helping him over irc [02:18] Hey -- I'm writing an embedded systems program, but I'm having problems [02:18] odinsbane: hoary? Is that right? What version are you using of ubuntu? [02:18] santor: yes. there's some plugins that do that. i had one in fact, but i installed adobe's flash player over it, so it opens automatically. [02:18] hello, can anyone tell me how much space I need to reserve for root if I am trying to create a separate home partition? I am doing a fresh install of 8.04 [02:18] how do i make MIGUEL HD to take me to MIGUEL and not to JUAN? [02:18] how can i see what nautilus is doing in the background? [02:18] The set up is a serial to gumstix to serial to opto22 [02:19] M4rotku: 7.5-10Gb is adequate [02:19] genii: good idea i ll look into that after [02:19] juan: your question is too vague. Provide more details [02:19] GB, that is [02:19] does ubuntu run on a cobalt raq4? [02:19] genii: so i'd have to make user@adress -p [02:19] amigamia: thats intel based right? or is that still power? [02:19] mneptok, i heard another guide say 15 gigs, what is the absolute most i would ever need? [02:19] <[TiZ]> I'm trying to add custom resolutions in Ubuntu Intrepid. The way I used to do it in Hardy, by adding display subsections in Screen, isn't working anymore. Does anyone know how it's supposed to be done now? [02:20] jrib, I'm using hardy heron , but I want to install a package form fiesty fawn. [02:20] 1500 but i am accumulating millions of errors [02:20] I'm trying to monitor the parity of the serial port [02:20] alarond alright i'll send him to the adobe site to try that, will it automatically remove the ohter version? [02:20] M4rotku: hard to say. depends on usage. [02:20] odinsbane: You can't, they have different packages in their repositories [02:20] But not on the receiving end, the transmitting end [02:20] odinsbane: Well, not that you can't, more that you shouldn't [02:20] Any idea of how I could do this? [02:20] odinsbane: why? Hardy is newer [02:20] i have a particioned HD, one partition is called MIGUEL and the opther is called JUAN, they didn't work until i mounted them with your help a minute ago, but there's a problem, when i double click on MIGUEL it takes me to JUAN, not to MIGUEL, i mean both HD take me to the same particion and not to their own partition [02:20] odinsbane: The repositories differ, so the depedencies may be wrong [02:20] santor: it might prompt whether to remove the prev plugin. [02:21] amigamia: it may, depending on preripherals. but the CPU is supported bu the i386 version. [02:21] qcjn: Yes -p 12345 for instance [02:21] having a grub issue: I just installed XP and restored grub using a LiveCD... however, when trying to boot into WindowsXP, I get an error: "Invalid device". According to my menu.lst, it's selecting the right partition. What's going on? [02:21] because I have a computer running fiesty fawn and a computer running hardy heron and fiesty fawns version of ffpmeg works. [02:22] alguém aí já configurou um servidor de email? [02:22] odinsbane: what doesn't work about ffmpeg on hardy? [02:22] Reformer81, i would double check that grub is in fact trying to boot the right device and partition. [02:22] I figured it would be easier to use a compiled version as opposed to compiling one myself. [02:22] genii: hw do you change that, and it must be on the server side ? [02:22] Reformer81, you might need to paste in an fdisk -l and your menu.list [02:22] will ubuntu run on a cobalt raq4? [02:22] odinsbane: So why not just install it from the hardy repositories? [02:22] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84175/ <--- There's my menu.lst. [02:22] jrib I am haveing trouble with sound. If I encode an m4a file it gives me an erro. [02:22] spammagnet seems to have disappeared...I upgraded from debian to ubuntu 8.1 now my nic card is accumulating millions of errors [02:22] odinsbane: it's better to debug the issue [02:23] genii: i havec openssh on my both machines ! can that cause problems ? [02:23] dmsuperman right now I think I am getting it from the medibuntu repositories, should I take them off of my list and reinstall it? [02:23] qcjn: It's on the server side, yes. In the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:24] Vantrax: Here is my fdisk -l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84176/ [02:24] ah the frame size is huge [02:24] how do i fix? [02:24] qcjn: No, you can run the daemon on both boxes, it doesn't matter [02:24] jrib, any ideas on my DVD not playing? [02:24] odinsbane: Yeah it's in the normal repositories [02:25] tony_: You need libdvdcss2 [02:25] hey does anyone know if need to install something to get gparted to offer ntfs? [02:25] Reformer81, it doesnt look like its your menu.lst [02:25] hello [02:25] NotADJ, libdvdcss2 is installed [02:25] o_o [02:25] :/ [02:25] genii: i typed sudo, and it took about 30 seconds before it appeared [02:25] how do i direct where a HD takes me to? [02:26] juan: An HD? What do you mean? [02:26] does apt have a way to check what package is providing a given file on the system ? [02:26] qcjn: How do you mean? You just typed: sudo and nothing else? [02:26] !fstab > juan [02:26] i mounted i HD and when i double click on it it takes me to another HD [02:26] juan, please see my private message [02:26] I installed ubuntu onto a system where the drive was /dev/sdb. I am moving this disk out now to a new system, where it will be /dev/hda. How can I configure grub properly so /dev/sdb contains the MBR and will function on the new system as /dev/hda? [02:26] juan you mount them to the proper places.. If yours are miss-placed then you unmount and remount them properly via the fstab file or manually, Normally [02:26] how can i extend on my ubuntu partition on my dell xps 420 [02:27] ultratek: gparted allows you to resize partitions [02:27] genii: i'm connected with ssh, but it's to slow [02:27] qcjn: If you have a slow connection and typing lag is very bad, you can specify ssh to use compression with -C [02:27] Vantrax: Thats why I said it was my fdisk-l ;) [02:27] djabbour, how do you know ti will be hda and not sda? as far as ive seen.. Ubuntu now uses sd## for all drives.. IDE or sata [02:27] Vantrax: I already posted the link to my menu.lst.... [02:27] kool [02:27] qcjn: It helps a bit [02:27] Samus_Aran: You are able to do "dpkg -L package_name | grep file_name" and that can check if a file is served by a package [02:27] Vantrax: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84175/ [02:27] dr_willis, in any event, what would the procedure be? [02:27] Samus_Aran: I'm not sure how ot search _all_ packages though [02:28] dmsuperman: run it with alt-f2? [02:28] It appears to be the same version. But now it is d/loading it from the hardy repo's [02:28] djabbour, you can install grub to sdb now if you wanted to. 'hd' or 'sd' most likely wont matter.. since the fstab uses the UUID nameing scheme. and grub enumerates drives its own way [02:28] dmsuperman: I am trying to search for the package that provides root certificates. one of my systems has them, another does not. I don't know what provides them [02:28] dr_willis, so i did a grub-install to /dev/sdb, and it boots in the new system, but doesn't get past "GRUB" [02:29] ultratek: Sure [02:29] ultratek: Though I'd run it with "gksu gparted" [02:29] ovied [02:29] ultratek: I'm not sure if the normal user has those permissions [02:29] djabbour, it may be it cant find the menu.lst or other files if they have moved. [02:29] genii: here s my connection 3.22megabits per second/392.55kilobytes per second, it ain't bad [02:29] Reformer81, i saw both, they match up fine, I dont think its the menu.lst [02:29] Vantrax: Oh. So what would it be, then? [02:29] Vantrax: Windows booted just fine before I reinstalled grub. [02:29] dr_willis, so that's what i'm guessing, it's looking for the menu.lst files on hd(1,0) rather than hd(0,0) [02:29] djabbour, if those filew were on the removed drive.. well you gotta do a little more work.. If they got moved.. then you may need to change the 'root' options in menu.lst [02:30] djabbour, thats very likely. [02:30] dr_willis, so how do I force grub to install onto sdb but treat it like sda? [02:30] qcjn: Yes, but your connection to your server is only as fast as the slowest machine which is in the middle [02:30] dr_willis, or can I have grub check two disks for the location of menu.lst? [02:31] djabbour, You make the menu.lst correct for the system.. if the files were on sda and moved.. You NOW need to edit menu.lst and reinstall grub so it sees the changs I imagine. [02:31] !mount [02:31] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [02:31] Reformer81, did you do a setup hd0,1 [02:31] Vantrax: Yes. [02:31] No... I did setup (hd0) [02:31] dr_willis, but the contents of menu.lst isn't even being read, so don't I need to pass this as an option to grub or in devce.map? [02:32] Vantrax: I wanted it written to the mbr, not just the first partition. [02:32] djabbour, the first time you update grub with the proper menu.lst it learns where to look for the files [02:32] Reformer81, thats what you should have done then, just checking, alot of people do that [02:32] ultratek: So, you ran "gksu gparted" [02:32] ultratek: Open a terminal and type it there [02:32] dr_willis, so menu.lst only has uuids. [02:33] dmsuperman:What should I do to access the interface for gparted after running gparted [02:33] k [02:33] djabbour, uuids are used by linxu to do the mounting of the initial filesystem.. grub does not use uuids. it uses its own hd#.# naming scheme [02:33] dr_willis: grub can use uuid now [02:33] dr_willis, I'm looking at the menu.lst file [02:34] jrib, thats cool :) can it do it by label also? [02:34] dmsuperman: it asked for my pass word then nothing happeened [02:34] Reformer81, so you did root (hd 0,1) setup (hd 0,0)? [02:34] genii: how can i know [02:34] dr_willis: don't know [02:34] ultratek: What did it print in your terminal [02:34] from a popup [02:34] Vantrax: No. I did "root (hd0,1)" and then "setup (hd0)" [02:34] dr_willis, Is thee any way to have grub not freak out if it can't find the menu.lst file? [02:34] nothing just made a new cmd line [02:35] dr_willis, so at least I can force it with boot option to grub [02:35] qcjn: "ping" is a useful tool. Also tracepath [02:35] djabbour, it it has no menu.lst to use.. hen it has no menu to display.. Not sure how you woudl force it to do anything. It may be wiorth wile to go to the grub home page and read its docs/manual. Its a VERY powerfull program [02:35] I installed intrepid over hardy when I run pavucontrol and try to change the volume of something, the sound just cuts out until I move the volume back to where it was. Help? I'm using Fluxbox by the way. [02:35] Reformer81, same thing, should be fine there [02:36] hey all, if anyone can help that would be awesome, i cant change my screen res beyong 800x600, ive tried xrandr but to no avail, and i cant change it anywhere else [02:36] dmsuperman: does linux desktop work something lik a mac with your running apps listed on the top in running programs? [02:36] <[TiZ]> Hi. How do I set up custom resolutions in Ubuntu Intrepid? [02:37] ultratek: No, normally it puts an icon on the bottom like windows [02:37] ultratek: In GNOME anyway [02:37] dmsuperman: i was thinking it might of minimized it self and i can find it [02:37] my kubuntu machine always wants to start in low graphics mode I have the ati binary driver activated [02:37] system / preferences / screen resolutoin [02:37] hmm [02:38] im also new and will need line by line if you can [02:38] duh [02:38] and require it [02:38] amigamia, look... [02:38] go to system / preferences / screen resolution [02:38] set your prefs [02:38] then your done [02:38] im running kde over ubuntu with kubuntu and having severe graphics issues === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [02:39] kevin__, what is 'severe'? [02:39] i asked a question about running ubuntu on a cobalt raq4 but i got no reply. [02:39] <[TiZ]> amigamia, low graphics mode means that acceleration is broken. [02:39] I installed WinXP and then reinstalled Grub. but now I cannot boot into Windows... I get "Error 12: Invalid Device Requested" [02:39] <[TiZ]> Well, I never get replies to any of my questions. I used to complain too. It means that they just don't know. Find somewhere else to look. [02:39] well that is typical for ubuntu from my expience anyway with intrepid. [02:39] anyone able to tell me what exactly console-kit-daemon does? It seems to use up to 50% of my CPU when I am doing CPU intensive things (like compiling) [02:40] kevin__: What card do you have? [02:40] TecnoBrat, Ive seen otehrs with bugs/issues with that thing going berzerk also. [02:40] dr_willis, so in the end I just got it to work by lying in the devices.map file [02:40] I know, I will call up microsoft and ask then if they know :D [02:40] hey, i just got a new laptop (dell 1720) and the wireless is not working but from what I see on forums is that it should work by default, i think the problem is that the card is disabled by i cant get it enabled... :S i tried the bios, made it on regardless of switch setting but still not on and light not showing (but the bluetooth is showing...) [02:40] dmulholland is the wifi turned on? [02:40] dr_willis, I reversed sda and sdb [02:40] like occasionally i will not be able to find my way around because in a few circumstances it has become "scrambled" [02:40] do you have a switch? [02:41] duh [02:41] and i have a 9800xt [02:41] ati [02:41] dr_willis, yea, I've done some googling, and I can't seem to find a straight answer of what exactly its supposed to do for me :) [02:41] dr_willis, and redid a grub-install to /dev/sdb [02:41] Reformer81: you needs change the ID of partition that where it is fro windowsXP.. [02:41] dmulholland do you know what it should look like in your /dev/ directory? [02:41] <[TiZ]> amigamia, your attitude stinks. You're not helping anyone, not even yourself. [02:41] oh shut up tiz [02:41] djabbour, cant recall the last time ive had to mess with that file. Gotta watch out if you ever try to reinstall grub from a live cd - it may be back to the old device.map then [02:41] <[TiZ]> Point proven. [02:41] amigamia, there is a switch which is turned on and the bluetooth is on and working, i also went into bios and disabled the switch (so they work regardless of setting) [02:41] dr_willis, which will be fine now since I've put it in the new machine [02:41] your just picking with me while i am giveing answers you dolt. [02:41] odinsbane, [02:41] Kelen: Uhm, what? [02:42] odinsbane, i dont no [02:42] dr_willis, the whole thing I was trying to do was move it from one machine where it was sdb to another where it will be sda [02:42] what does this error mean and how can i fix it: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:42] dmulholland let me check on that for you [02:42] dmulholland try ls /dev/eth* and see what devices you have. [02:42] what model laptop [02:42] hey, how can I copy my /home folder to my USB? I tried to copy/paste but it gave many errors for most of files. [02:42] dr_willis, I'm gunna have grub regenerate that file and redo a grub-install on the new machine now to be sure [02:42] dell 1720 [02:42] should just work [02:42] Okay... since no one knows grub... is there any way to setup the Windows boot manager to boot into Ubuntu? [02:42] <[TiZ]> And you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Suggesting resolution settings for low graphics mode? Asking him if the wifi's turned on when he's made sure it is? Affixing "duh" to every response? [02:42] djabbour, ya could of moved cables >:) Somthing else to watch out for is if you use the BIOS menus to boot a different hard drive.. the drives can reorder their selfs. Had to fight that last week for an hr. [02:43] surely someone else has had to fix this problem before, non of the fixes i have tried have worked [02:43] any ideas would be fantastic, i just dont feel like im moving foreward [02:43] what is the file type a shortcut should point to to run an app on linux [02:43] Reformer81: What problem are you having? [02:43] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 doesnt exist in ubuntu 8.1 where is this file moved now? [02:43] amigamia, odinsbane im pretty sure the card is installed by ubuntu but i think there is something in the way on the hardware side stoping it [02:43] dr_willis, hmmm it seems to have to do with fastswitching with gnome ..... I don't even have X installed on this particular machine .. haha [02:43] <[TiZ]> moDumass, I don't see your question. What problem are you having? [02:43] dmulholland do this [02:43] is there somewhere I can search jauntys pkgs? [02:43] err fast login switching [02:44] sudo rmmod ssb [02:44] tiyowan: I installed Windows XP and then had to reinstall grub. But now when I try to boot into Windows, grub gives me "Error 12: Invalid Device Requested" [02:44] sudo rmmod b44 [02:44] amigamia, odinsbane network manager also thinks there is a wireless card installed but showing no networks (when it should) [02:44] I installed intrepid over hardy when I run pavucontrol and try to change the volume of something, the sound just cuts out until I move the volume back to where it was. Help? I'm using Fluxbox by the way. [02:44] sudo rmmod w1 [02:44] [TiZ]: He's stuck at 600x800 [02:44] tiyowan: My menu.lst file is correct. [02:44] dmulholland I know I can turn my light on and off by enabling the card [02:44] Reformer01: Hmmm...lemme run a quick check. [02:44] sudo modprobe w1 [02:44] sudo mobprobe ssb [02:44] <[TiZ]> geni: Ah, that's different from low graphics mode. I'm having a similar problem myself. [02:44] ! [02:44] sudo modprobe b44 [02:44] or you can do this [02:45] Reformer81: soudns like your partition numbering was changed, grub is probably pointing to a ifferent partition than ubuntu is installed on [02:45] Reformer01: 12 : Invalid device requested [02:45] This error is returned if a device string is recognizable but does [02:45] not fall under the other device errors. [02:45] what is the file type a shortcut should point to on linux to run an app....say google earth for instance [02:45] sudo apt-get linux-restricted-modules-"uname -r" [02:45] ultratek: a file with execute permissions set [02:45] Hi guys [02:45] tiyowan: I'm not trying to boot Ubuntu (it boots fine). I am trying to boot to Windows which is installed on hd0,0 [02:45] <[TiZ]> ultratek, binaries don't normally have extensions, if that's what you're asking. [02:46] santor: what would google earth look like for the cmd [02:46] ? [02:46] Reformer01: Ok, when you try to boot Windows, grub gives you this error? [02:46] tiyowan: Correct. [02:46] iam trying to configure my app list on kooldock [02:46] how can I watch youtbue videos? iot nedds flash [02:46] tiyowan: Windows booted just fine before Grub, so I know the Windows installation itself is fine. [02:46] <[TiZ]> ultratek: you could probably just type googleearth. Hit Alt+f2, and start typing it to see what happens. [02:46] eternaljoy: Hmm... install flash maybe? :) [02:47] Reformer81, flash-free ? [02:47] free-flashplayer ? [02:47] Reformer01: Lemme check some more. [02:47] sudo apt-get install free-flash ? [02:47] eternaljoy: flashplugin-nonfree [02:47] Reformer81, ty [02:47] I have a small problem. I try to run a game on a dedicated X server with wine. The matter is that I have the sound of the game only if i'm on my desktop. When I switch to the X server where the game runs, I have only the images, and no sound ... Do someone know what to do ? =x [02:47] <[TiZ]> So, does anyone know how to add custom resolutions to intrepid? [02:47] I wanted to give FC10 a try, didn't like it. But it removed Ibex from the boot loader, how can I go back to Ibex? [02:48] dmulholland it is probably a broadcomm so some of the things that amigamia is suggesting might be what you need to do. You could try sudo ifconfig eth0 up and see if that turns on the light. [02:48] [TiZ]: Have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6147012&postcount=10 ? Will that help? [02:48] i installed flashplugin-nonfree, yet youtbue still claims I need flash. what I do? [02:48] <[TiZ]> stovicek: I've seen that one, and that's how I used to do it in Hardy. But it doesn't work. Thanks, though. [02:48] dmulholland I know with fiesty I have to enable restricted modules but with hady I didn't have to do anything. [02:49] eternaljoy: did you restart firefox or whatever browser you are using and what architecture are you on? [02:49] kitche, yes [02:49] kitche, 8.04 [02:49] eternaljoy: what architecture are you on? [02:49] tiyowan: Running fdisk -l doesn't show my windows partition to have the "boot" flag.... is that an issue? [02:49] <[TiZ]> eternaljoy, architecture is 32-bit, 64-bit, powerpc, etc. [02:50] kitche, 8.04 [02:50] 32 [02:50] Reformer01: Okay I think I found something useful. [02:50] what is the cmd to terminate an app? [02:50] ultratek: kill [02:50] <[TiZ]> ultratek, killall (appname) [02:50] ultratek: or killall [appname] [02:50] Okay so I have all of the ffmpeg codecs from media buntu, if I want to get them from another source, the hardy repos, is there a way, short of removing them and reinstalling them? [02:50] it works now. I just clicked on the flash link on youtube [02:51] tiyowan: ? [02:51] eternaljoy: yeah probably just needed a refresh you were probably getting a cache of the page [02:51] Reformer01: Do you get any other errors above the Error 12 when you try to boot, or just that? [02:51] Hi buddies, can someone help me ? [02:51] Hello! How can i see a list of Ubuntu update servers? [02:51] tiyowan: That's all. [02:51] yes we can [02:51] <\slash> mhmm i figured out how to disable/enable sshd via system/services, but how would i go about doing it in terminal? [02:51] kitche, ok. btw, qwhen I insert a dvd movie, nothing happens. any ideas? [02:51] tiyowan: Could it be because my Windows partition doesn't have the "boot" flag? [02:51] ty [02:51] Thank you j_xinudsb [02:52] Well, I have a sound problem. I lunch an application with wine on a dedicated X server, but I have no sound. [02:52] odinsbane, err.. ffmpeg dosent use codecs as far as i know.. the ffmpeg at medibuntu repos has different features (more features) then the ones in the normal ubuntu repos.. so if you are need the fullest features.. use medibuntu version [02:52] I have the sound only when i'm on my original X server. [02:52] eternaljoy: most likely nothing will you need to open up a player that supports dvd's also need to install libdvdcss#(# is whatever the # is on the repo) [02:52] Hmm im having trouble with firefox not getting window decorations (using compiz and emerald). [02:52] Kinda crappy. Have sound, but no images, or images but no sound. [02:52] Reformer01: Yep. I think that's the problem. [02:52] tiyowan: Solution? [02:52] Hello! How can i see a list of Ubuntu update servers? [02:53] how do i switch to a program? [02:53] through terminal...say gparted... [02:53] Potential user here needing to know something about graphics card and Ubuntu compatibility.... NVIDIA GeForce 7950GT... under the Live CD/DVD, it only allowed me a high rez of 800x600. This because I haven't installed the OS? Thanks in advance for your replies. [02:53] Reformer01: Boot into Ubuntu. Go to add/remove programs. Install Gparted. Open up Gparted from System -> Administration. Click on your Windows partition, and select manage flags. Set the boot flag and click apply. [02:54] dr_willis its odd but the fiesty fawn version works better for me. [02:54] Reformer01: In add/remove programs, look for partition editor. Install that. [02:54] (of course on fiesty fawn) [02:54] tiyowan: Yeah, just did that. [02:54] tiyowan: Intrepid comes with GParted installed :) [02:54] WebGuest: ive had that problem (albeit with a geforce 6100) youll have to install the OS, hit esc on bootup, enter recovery kernel, drop to root, do Xorg -configure, move xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the reboot, and install the nivida driver for best perforfmance [02:55] Reformer81: :-) I'm still a newbie, so forgive me for some dumb advice, but I'm trying to learn by helping others and through observation. [02:55] tiyowan: I'll give that a shot.. But for some reason, in GParted, it shows unallocated space BEFORE my Windows partition and lists Windows as sda5... [02:55] arktvrvs: you don't really need a xorg.conf anymore really [02:55] kitche: what are you talking about? [02:55] I'm going to try booting now. [02:55] Thanks, tiyowan [02:55] well with the default config, as WebGuest , i cant get more than 800x600, which is crap [02:55] Reformer81:np, let us know what happens. [02:55] pardon my french [02:56] Giraffe: that xorg doesn't need a xorg.conf really [02:56] Wait... this isn't right! [02:56] Giraffe: it's was just added just recently in the X.org [02:56] i definitely needed to configure mine to get it working [02:56] Reformer81: Could you pastebin your blkid info? It'll be easier to find out a solution once we have a look at your disk structure. [02:56] X.org wtf [02:56] Could someone PLEASE help me with this! http://paste.ubuntu.com/84185/ [02:57] crap, I had an old version in my /usr/local/bin/ directory [02:57] Giraffe: maybe it's how Ubuntu has it setup maybe [02:57] xorg.conf definitely isnt *required* but it cannot hurt [02:57] rather, can only help [02:57] Reformer81: you need more context... [02:57] so im having a strange problem, there are programs that just wont open, that were previously working on my machine. any ideas? [02:57] tiyowan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84186/ [02:57] has anybody successfully used the FoxyTunes addon w/ Firefox in Intrepid? I tried it and it seems really buggy for some reason, freezing and crashing FF until i disable it [02:57] Reformer81: That's weird....what kind of partition structure is this? [02:57] jrib: Sorry... I've been having a problem with grub NOT booting windows. Now looking at my disc structure, it looks NOTHING like what I actually setup. [02:58] hi [02:58] tiyowan: It's not the way I set it up [02:58] if my ubuntu crashed can someone tell me some logs to check to see what happened? [02:58] need help to install driver of vga sis671 in ubuntu 8.10!!!!! [02:58] tiyowan, jrib: I setup 4 primary partitions on this hard drive. 1: Windows, 2: Linux, 3:Empty, 4:/home [02:59] Thanks, "arktvrvs"... I copied/pasted what you wrote so I will know later. Right now I'm testing Ultimate Edition, but also looking at the kiddie pool of stuff. Don't want to tackle too much... just want to get off XP in January. [02:59] can I view my own posts in UbuntuForums? I have a feeling I can't [02:59] tiyowan,jrib: I have no idea why I now have an empty partition at the beginning or why Windows is suddenly partition 5 and extended. [02:59] welcome [02:59] Why is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so empty in Ubuntu? [03:00] djabbour: because it's not needed really but can be used [03:00] djabbour: i assume because xorg now has a lot of internalized configs. [03:00] djabbour: xorg can autodetect most things these days [03:00] does anyone know how to recover a harddrive, that was doing a repeated chatter(not clicking) and I removed the circuit board from it, and when I put it back on, it doesnt chatter anymore, btu the bios doesnt find it neither [03:00] djabbour: On my laptop the file is completely empty, in fact [03:00] can I have a portable X-server on usb-stick? [03:00] Reformer81: I think you should rearrange your partitions? [03:00] oh .. got it [03:00] tiyowan: I already did... and this is NOT how I arranged them! [03:01] Noxz: that sounds like a sign that you damaged the drive's logic board when you took it off [03:01] Okay so Ubuntu/Xorg did a bad job of autodetecting my hardware (old laptop)... can I just start tweaking the /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [03:01] Reformer81: Hmm....ok, first things first. We need to fix this booting into Windows thing. Did you try booting into Win? [03:01] djabbour: if you're familiar with how to do that, yes [03:01] Wyzard, cool [03:01] tiyowan: Not since I set the boot flag. But now Ubuntu doesn't have the boot flag. [03:01] This makes no sense. [03:02] not damaged at all, I plugged it into the computer after I took it off, and then the computer detects a harddrive, not the size though [03:02] Crap... another question... when accessing NTFS formatted external, I won't be able to write onto it, will I? Will files be inaccessible *don't have permission error-type of thing*? [03:02] it spins up fine though [03:02] I think [03:02] Noxz: you just said the computer doesn't detect the drive [03:02] Reformer81: Ok, don't worry about it. You haven't lost any data. We just need to fix this one at a time. Try booting into Win first. [03:02] djabbour: in the first paragraph is a line to reset or rediscover the video and configure it.. dpkg reconfigure-xorg -phigh etc etc. run that first and see if it fixes your problems [03:03] Scunizi, I ran it, now the system locks up on boot, lol [03:03] tiyowan: I know I haven't lost anything, but I spent at least 6 hours today reorganizing my partitions and installing Windows. I'm not liking the idea of having to do it again. [03:03] djabbour: what kind of card [03:03] Noxz: Anyway, the logic board is what contains the interface that talks to the computer, and also controls the drive's mechanics, but damage isn't an all-or-nothing thing [03:03] Scunizi, ThinkPad 560E has a Trident TG 9660 card [03:03] dmsuperman: i am in gparted using gksu.... [03:03] I'll be back, tiyowan... lemme try booting windows. [03:03] Noxz: It's entirely possible for a damaged logic board to be unable to talk properly to the computer even though it can still spin up the drive [03:04] Reformer81: Ok. Go ahead n' boot. [03:04] can i use 8.04 live cd to restore 8.10 boot loader? [03:04] How can I keep grub from installing to the mbr with an alternate install cd? [03:04] IntangibleLiquid: That should work [03:04] IntangibleLiquid: Any livecd will work [03:04] thanks guy [03:05] n8tuser2-> I got the WPA2 working, all I did was change my broadcasting channel and it works just as good.... weird tho... [03:05] Noxz: If your drive is defective or damaged, your only real option is to return it for warranty service, or buy a new one if it's out of warranty [03:05] data recovery [03:06] tiyowan: Nope. Same error. [03:06] Noxz: The main prob is if it's not recognising properly on a hardware level first, no software is going to be able to help [03:06] im starting to hate 8.10 I think I am going to revert to 8.04 anyone else feel the same way or am I crazy [03:07] tiyowan: Windows should not have been installed in an Extended partition... is it possible to convert it to a primary? [03:07] I mean send it to a lab [03:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: I'm perfectly fine with 8.10. :-) [03:07] I don't remember the alternate CD asking me where I wanted to install grub, it just chose the mbr by default [03:07] tiyowan it might be me then [03:07] Noxz: There are data recovery labs, yes [03:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: 8.10 rocks, it finally recognized my wireless and my video drivers out of the box [03:07] Crap... another question... when accessing NTFS formatted external, I won't be able to write onto it, will I? Will files be inaccessible *don't have permission error-type of thing*? [03:08] Reformer19: Ok...I've found this thread about an unexpected ext. Win partition showing up, lemme check. [03:08] WebGuest: That used to be true, but the current NTFS implementation (ntfs-3g) supports writing [03:08] CPUFreak91 I am seemingly to have memory leaks and cpu issues but im happy the wireless works with it I had an issue with my wireless linksys with 8.04 too havent tried it with 8.10 [03:08] hola buenas noches [03:08] Reformer19: ps://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/unexpected-w95-extd-lba-partition-368878/ - Check this out. [03:08] soy nuevo en esta cuestion de [03:08] Noxz: Where I live, the premier data recovery lab is http://www.cbltech.ca/ but you may have to search for another if not in Canada [03:08] !es > oscar [03:08] manejo de ubuntu [03:08] oscar, please see my private message [03:09] quisiera una ayuda [03:09] por favor [03:09] Wyz >>cool... so, there isn't any special formatting that I should be concerned about then? [03:09] i was looking in a log after my laptop crashed. Around the time of the crash i see "Wireless Event too big" [03:09] is that a problem [03:09] necesito q mi monodevelop [03:09] este bien [03:09] q debo hacer [03:09] alguien me puede ayudar por favor [03:09] oscar English only in here thanks [03:10] es q no me pueda crear el ejecutable [03:10] tiyowan: Since my Windows partition is actually sda5, should I change my menu.lst to go to hd0,5 instead of hd0,0? [03:10] WebGuest: I'm not sure what ntfs-3g uses as the NTFS permissions for newly-created files though... I'd expect it to set them to be inherited from the parent folder like most files are, but someone told me it doesn't do that [03:10] Reformer19: Try setting the boot flag on the W95 Ext. partition and try booting into Win; I think your Windows got moved to an extended partition. [03:10] whenever I press super+c, it puts my mouse to the center of the screen. how do I disable this? it conflicts with my amarok shortcut [03:10] tiyowan: I KNOW it's on an extended partition. But the w95 partition is actually empty. There's nothing there. [03:11] anyone know any graphics issues and a solution if when i click on a display button in kde 4.1 all i get are diagonal lines and have to hard restart [03:11] tiyowan: I'll brb... going to try booting to hd0,5 [03:11] reformer19: The W95 partition just defines the range of the extended partitions. Try changing your menu.1st entry, but I don't think it'll work man, because Windows doesn't like booting off a non-primary partition. [03:12] tiyowan: Well, it installed itself into an extended partition and booted just fine before grub got ahold of things. [03:12] Brb [03:13] !#$!$#! [03:13] and that's final ! [03:14] Ok guys... I think the rest of my questions will be trial and error (programs) before getting 8GB of RAM for my first 64bit installation. Your help is/was/will be greatly appreciated. [03:15] tiyowan: Yeah... still no good. [03:15] I'm going to end up having to wipe my entire fricken hard drive and start all over, aren't I? [03:15] is there a way to see what compile options a given pkg was built with? [03:15] when I do apt-get install mysql-server, it prompts me to change the mysql password. But I want to do this from a shell script. How do I make sure the script can run past this point? [03:16] Reformer81: No way, dude. You don't need to do that.... [03:16] how do i install gtk+ ? [03:16] can anyone tell me does i686 = 64 bit? [03:16] tiyowan: How else am I supposed to get Windows onto a primary partition instead of extended? [03:16] rookeeeeeeeee, no [03:16] ...but that doesn't explain why it won't boot. [03:16] rookeeeeeeeee: no [03:16] rookeeeeeeeee, that just means newer intel chip [03:16] rookeeeeeeeee: it means like fast 386, say a pentium 4 and above [03:17] i was looking in a log after my laptop crashed. Around the time of the crash i see "Wireless Event too big" [03:17] Reformer81: What option did you choose when you installed Ubuntu? Manual paritioning or guided? [03:17] how do i install gtk+ ? [03:17] tiyowan: I installed Ubuntu over a year ago... but I also do manual. [03:17] blkid [03:17] so 64 bit is faster than i686? [03:17] always* [03:17] rookeeeeeeeee, x86_64 is 64bit, if you want to check if your cpu can do 64bit, do "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and look for "lm" under flags. === WelshDragon is now known as Guest74451 [03:18] rookeeeeeeeee, 64 is 64 bit i686 implies 32 bit [03:18] rookeeeeeeeee, yes if applications are designed and optomised for it. [03:18] oh, I see the newer alternate disks don't overwrite your efi partition with an mbr boot loader [03:18] optimised* [03:18] that's handy [03:18] tiyowan: Oh crap... I know what happened. Windows MAKES you create a special partition just for it to copy files to. This pushed the partitions over the 4 maximum and Windows had to create an extended. [03:18] tiyowan: I remember that now. [03:19] rookeeeeeeeee, if you do things which handle large files, database manipulation, video editing etc 64 might be good idea otherwise it won't be too big a difference and 64 has less support right now [03:19] Rerformer81: I'd recommend this. Get a liveCD, move the Windows partition and any NTFS partitions to the beginning of the drive, then put the linux partitions into extended. [03:19] rookeeeeeeeee, you also need 64 bit if you want to use more than 4GB ram [03:19] tiyowan: So... another 8 hours of waiting lol [03:20] Reformer81: This is will require a lot of work in addition to moving the partitions around. If you haven't got too much data, wipe it all out and start over fresh. [03:20] DaveKong: not entirely true; 32-bit kernels can support up to 64GB of physical RAM if built with PAE support [03:20] tiyowan: Yeah... that's what I was thinking I'd have to do... it'll take me all night, though. [03:21] DaveKong: The limitation is that no individual process can use more than 4GB of it [03:21] tiyowan: Thankfully my /home/ partition has always been on a separate physical hard drive. [03:21] ok, so where is the splash screen thingy that shows when ubuntu is loading? [03:21] Wyzard, thanks for the info, never knew that === Guest74451 is now known as WelshDragon [03:22] Reformer81: I just have six partitions on this drive. DellUtilities. NTFS Boot. NTFS. Home. Root. Swap. [03:22] DaveKong: The -generic kernel doesn't have PAE enabled but the -server one probably does [03:23] okay my ubuntu has crashed two times in a row. both logs i looked at one thing in common. "CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain [03:24] hola! [03:24] !netsplit [03:24] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:24] oh no! the internets are dying [03:24] netsplit? [03:24] wheeeeee [03:24] internet is dying?

[04:23] Wyzard, so are you possibly suggesting I go ahead with install then? That when it is installed video should work properly? Or, you saying it may, or may not function properly, and I should probably leave set up at 8.04 LTS with everything working correctly?

[04:23] should probably use cifs instead of smbfs? at least taht's what i do on a windows domain [04:24] azteech: On my 8800GT and its analog monitor, I've always had positioning issues with the free driver -- older versions shifted the picture too far to the left, and the current version shifts it up too far -- but the non-free driver works fine [04:24] stovicek : well, yes, i've only set three options, so far, but guess i can start configuring it a bit more. :) [04:24] azteech: so if you intend to install the non-free driver I'd expect you'll probably be OK [04:24] what is a good anti malware protection for ubuntu?

[04:33] i tried to install 8.10 last night but it would drop to an initramfs prompt and casper.log said something like unable to find a medium containing a live file system [04:33] azteech: DVI is really preferable for LCDs [04:33] Wyzard, and VGA cables are coupled to a KVM to allow switching between systems ...

[04:33] ah [04:33] i added a user from command line with "adduser" and then login to that new user but i don't have sudo permissions - how do i fix this? [04:33] !pastebin [04:33] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:33] Lasivian: i downloaded the image and then used unetbootin to write it to the usb drive, should i have let unetbootin d/l the imagine ? [04:33] image* even [04:33] wtf [04:33] azteech: The KVM could be what's interfering with detecting the monitor's capabilties [04:33] hes a nigger.... [04:33] good morning [04:34] genii, http://paste.ubuntu.com/84209/ [04:34] damn it [04:34] people on vnc [04:34] ocRob, I had that happen once, not sure what it was tho, I re-imaged the stick and tried again and it worked :/ [04:34] eternaljoy: The pastebin shows me that there is nothing wrong with your syntax of the command since it is working here when i test between my 8.04 box and my XP Pro_x64 box [04:34] azteech: I'd definitely look at xorg.0.log to see what it says about the monitor [04:34] eternaljoy: Reading [04:34] Lasivian: ok yeah b/c i had to reimage it a couple of times to get it to boot off it in the first place so that makes sense [04:34] genii, ok [04:34] Wyzard, I know they are, but until I can afford to get a DVI KVM switch ... am stuck with a VGA only option ... unless I want to fore-go dual systems at this point ... [04:34] ocRob, got another stick to try? [04:35] eternaljoy: OK. Does: apt-cache policy smbfs show that it is installed? [04:35] azteech, instead of a kvm switch buy enough ram to just run a virtualbox and save on electricity? [04:35] azteech: Try it with a direct connection without a KVM, just to see if it works [04:35] Lasivian: unfortunately, not one handy :( ..whenever you boot off it, to run ubuntu live you go into the default option? === kristian_ is now known as kristian_away [04:36] genii, http://paste.ubuntu.com/84210/ [04:36] Wyzard, yeah, once you mentioned that, I noted it and plan on it when I boot back into 8.10 livecd ... was focusing only on video and its rates and overlooked the other obvious error area ... [04:36] azteech, have you tried pluggin the monitor into that machine directly and seeing if it detects? [04:36] eternaljoy: So no. So install it then try the mount again [04:36] install what? [04:36] eternaljoy: eg: sudo apt-get install smbfs [04:36] ocRob, yeah, perhaps try the alternate image? [04:36] genii, ok brb [04:37] Lasivian: alright thanks man [04:37] * genii sips his coffee [04:37] Wyzard, hear ya ... and you are right, but ram isn't the issue, it is the mobo ... limited to 2GB .. until I can upgrade it ... then will get rid of the secondary system, which is the 32-bit x86 desktop ... use it for testing and such ... [04:37] azteech: autodetecting video modes depends on querying the monitor its supported sync rates and preferred mode... that's data coming back *from* the monitor, though VGA is primarily meant for sending signals *to* the monitor [04:38] genii, that seemed to work now.. but the folder is empty, yet I have files on c:/linux [04:38] sudo apt-get install windows [04:38] oops [04:38] Wyzard, no, hadn't taken that approach either .. but also noted ... simple oversight of simple t/s steps .... [04:38] genii, why doesnt files show? [04:38] * azteech slaps the back of head .. [04:38] so depending on how the KVM is built, it can interfere with the two-way communication between video card and monitor [04:38] genii, i did a refresh on the folder, now all files show :-) [04:38] eternaljoy: Good [04:38] Wyzard, which is why I didn't think of it being the monitor .... [04:39] genii, thanks for your help. I just needed to install smbfs. I wouldnt have figured that out on my own,. thanks legend :-) [04:39] i added a user from command line with "adduser" and then login to that new user but i don't have sudo permissions - how do i fix this? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [04:39] especially since the 8.10 x86 version worked out of the box ... using the same set up ... [04:39] glenn, use System/Administrator/Users and Groups [04:39] glenn, do it from there [04:40] glenn: From user WITH sudo rights: sudo usermod -G adm -a [04:40] won't let me it says "You are not allowed to access the system configuration" [04:40] glenn: See my aove comment [04:40] genii, thanks, I wanted to know that too :) [04:40] genii: thanks! [04:40] wyzard, guess it could be on side of the switch isn't electrically as stable as the other and could be causing the issue ... will try by-passing the jvm switch then and see what thes first ... [04:41] glenn and Lasivian ... np [04:41] i gotta log out to another account to try it [04:41] s/jvm/kvm [04:41] glenn, click UNLOCK? [04:42] how can i get the right kernel driver for virtualbox-ose [04:42] glenn: You can login at CLI to it, then just do: exit when done [04:42] Wyzard, thanks for the input ..... (and gentle slap on back of the head) ... hee hee ... [04:42] genii, i cant write from ubuntu to c:/linux. says CCF08112008_00000.jpg': Permission denied [04:42] azteech: np :-) [04:42] How can you upgrade to another version of ubuntu without X? [04:42] eternaljoy: Well, this is another issue, since the NTFS owner is not the one which you are mounting it as [04:43] eternaljoy: You can alter this on the Windows end to "allow other users to change the files" or so [04:43] hi can someone tell me how to change my resolution of my screen? [04:43] gcbirzan, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:44] gcbirzan, there are two command-line upgrade options there if memory serves === gnutron_ is now known as gnutron [04:44] genii, how I do that on XP?

[04:44] i tired that [04:45] genii, how do I tell XP to "allow other users to change the files" ? [04:45] it said no package available or something like that [04:45] gcbirzan: which version to which version? [04:45] Oh, this will be funny. Feisty to Intrepid :-P [04:45] aboucher: do not confuse ' with ` [04:45] Which, of course doen't work. Sigh. [04:45] eternaljoy: Go to the folder you shared...right-click... choose "Sharing and Security" then check off box where it says: "Allow network users to change my files" [04:46] gcbirzan, watch everything break [04:46] etc [04:46] gcbirzan: you can't jump releases like that [04:46] gcbirzan, id do a clean install [04:46] Vantrax: I actually did this with aptitude the other day, but it was too much trouble [04:46] gcbirzan: sudo do-release-upgrade [04:46] gcbirzan, you have to do each none in order [04:46] genii, ok brb [04:46] Vantrax: And I have 10 machines to do it on. [04:46] create an image [04:46] this is my kernel 2.6.24-22-generic [04:46] aboucher: do not confuse ' with ` [04:47] genii, Allowe network users to change my files is already ticked [04:47] aboucher: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` [04:47] what do you mean? [04:47] aboucher: paste it [04:47] well, taking it a step at a time, it's complaining about feisty stuff disappearing from repositories [04:47] genii, what now? [04:47] what's a good filesystem for storing files to be accessed from windows and linux? [04:47] Failed to fetch http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [04:47] anf: XP or Vista? [04:47] are image files (iso's) or whatever smaller than tars? which one compresses better? [04:47] eternaljoy: Hmm. OK. Let me think a minute to remember smbfs mount options [04:47] And so on and so forth. Should I modify that to, erm... Intrepid? [04:47] mneptok, hello [04:47] genii, ok [04:47] mneptok: server 2003 [04:48] anf: FAT32 [04:48] does hibernate (either swusp or an actual acpi hibernate) function correctly with an encrypted hard drive? (specifically, will the hard drive be encrypted after a hibernate, and will the machine hibernate and unhibernate correctly) [04:48] gcbirzan: that's because Feisty is EOL, you're better off installing Intrepid from livecd [04:48] E: Couldn't find package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-22-generic [04:48] gcbirzan: sudo apt-get update [04:48] Vantrax: I'm not far from that, /home/ is over NFS and users are over LDAP... [04:48] hello [04:48] aboucher: then you have issues with /etc/apt/sources.lst [04:48] mneptok: Nah, whata ardchoille said. Those files are what are downloaded at apt-get update [04:48] blarg, is there any way to be root in X? [04:48] anyone know how to fix booting splash @ center by 1024x768 console resolution [04:48] ? [04:49] i'm getting sick of not being able to extract files where I want them in the gui, heh [04:49] If the pam-ldap bug was fixed, upgrading with aptitude won't be that hard [04:49] ardchoille: But, still, if I want to try this... :-P [04:49] gcbirzan: go for it :) [04:49] you dont want the ose version anyways, aboucher you can get virtualbox 2 server free (as in beer) on their site [04:49] ardchoille: ssh from my desk > walking all the way to the machinews :-) [04:49] gcbirzan: oh, Feisty. Scuzati-ma. [04:49] hehe [04:49] genii, it works now [04:49] mneptok: :-) === orpheelafondlumm is now known as orphee [04:50] ardchoille: What should I put in sources.list, anything? [04:50] If you're going to use non-OSS virtualization software, VMware is more mature than VirtualBox [04:50] eternaljoy: Weird [04:50] eternaljoy: But i'm glad [04:50] anyone have a clue how I can hide my panel in kde4.1? I'm on Intrepid. [04:50] gcbirzan: I was told that method of upgrading is not recommended, so I can't help with that [04:50] Meh. [04:50] ok, how the heck to install realplayer ? [04:51] olskolirc: ask in #kubuntu [04:51] or another flash video captuer program [04:51] * gcbirzan just puts intrepid in there. [04:51] ewww vmware has that horrible web-based interface, yuck! it's slow and i dont even know how to describe how bad it is, stick with virtualbox man. [04:51] gcbirzan: loks like you're going to be installing from livecd after all [04:51] genii, yeah thanks :) [04:51] anyone have problems with flash in 8.04? i have pretty much all the flash plugins firefox suggested i install and i still get the grey boxes i have to click to play and some flash won't play at all [04:51] !realplayer [04:51] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:51] you know, I hate source with no installation notes [04:52] hai [04:52] in some video folders, why do only some videos get a thumbnail? how can i force nautilus to draw and save thumbnails for every video? [04:52] i was going to [04:52] ardchoille: Eh. I upgraded with aptitude dist-upgrade a bit earlier, was just looking for an easier way. LiveCDs aren't easier :-P [04:52] ocRob: you can only have one installed, having more than one causes problems [04:52] eternaljoy: You're welcome. [04:52] Is there some way make a script that clicking on it would start virtualbox and lock everything else so say the admin could click on it and leave a guest to "play in a sandbox"? or make a login that would boot a vb instance and lock everything else? [04:52] genii, :-) [04:52] I'm having a weird glitch with Cairodock. Icon labels are displaying on top of eachother http://i37.tinypic.com/1tq05i.png anyone know what I can do about it? [04:52] i cant get flash to work [04:52] every vid i try to play online works ;p [04:52] kbrosnan: well i've tried that too, can you dpkg -l | grep flash for me if yours works fine and show me which one you have? i'll remove the rest and try that one :P [04:53] gcbirzan: Sometimes the "easy" way isn't the best way ;) [04:53] ardchoille: Hey, it works. :-) [04:53] ocRob: if you want youtube and such to work, flashplugin-nonfree [04:53] mines called Shockwave flash 10, works great [04:54] ocRob: when you dpkg -l | grep -i flash is that the only one you have installed? [04:54] are you guys sure you don't have more than one installed? [04:54] what about swfdec ? [04:54] * kristian_ has to get 137 updates. [04:55] ocRob: I only had to install flashplugin-nonfree and al flash worked (32bit) [04:55] ocRob: swfdec is an open source flash implementation, which is better depends on what you value [04:55] no you want the non-free flash, its called Shockwave flash 10, get it from adobes site , its a .deb file [04:55] kbrosnan: btw youtube works but i get grey boxes where flash should be and they work they just dont auto play [04:55] so remove gnash, swfdec and flashplugin-nonfree ? [04:55] Hey! I was wondering if running Wine introduces Windows vulnerabilities to my Ubuntu system? [04:55] aeolien: yes [04:56] aeolien, only if you runa virus [04:56] aeolien: If the programs you run under Wine are vulnerable, yeah [04:56] aeolien: yes, but not in the sense that you think. it'll only ruin wine, not your actual system [04:56] To some extent, anyway [04:56] ocRob: when a grey box appears instead of a movie... do you hear the sound of the movie? [04:56] aeolien, think about it, you run wine under your account [04:56] if ./configure says "no such file or directory" does that mean a package with configure as part of it is not installed, or something by that name in the source is not installed? [04:56] okay. I'll check out ClamAV then. [04:56] ocRob: well that would remove all flash players from your system, flashplugin-nonfree is what i use [04:56] Thanks! [04:56] aeolien, the program has rw access to everything you do [04:56] MaT-dg: its a box with a play symbol, i click it the flash plays, and i have javascript enabled as well [04:56] kbrosnan: alright i'll try that [04:56] Would it make sense to create a special sandbox user to run Wine then? [04:56] just set your permissions correctly on your files aeolien, that way if a buggie gets in, it can't do anything. [04:56] Lasivian: ./configure tells the system to run the file named "configure" [04:57] aeolien, if it hits an exploit, say in the windows version of firefox... it has all the permission in the world to kill your home directory [04:57] ardchoille, yes, but is it looking for part of the source, or another package? [04:57] ocRob: do you have the flash block extension (tools -> addons -> extensions) [04:57] kbrosnan: no.. [04:57] Lasivian: the file named "configure" is part of the source package, not an app on your system [04:57] ardchoille, thanks [04:57] jabagawee: Huh. Scary. [04:57] Thanks! [04:58] * Lasivian rummages some more [04:58] i have looked at help.ubuntu but i cant find any help there. im doing "sudo apt-get upgrade", but i want to set maximum download speed, is it possible by command? [04:58] anyone know how nautilus thumbnails work? [04:58] shot, there got to be a easy way to capture flash video in ubuntu [04:58] kbrosnan: its no tin there, just 'ubuntu firefox modifications 0.5' i usually do everything from command line [04:58] anyone know where i can get the NEW amarok for ubuntu 8.10? [04:58] bgamari: it has happened again. could it be compiz? [04:58] kbrosnan: in plugins i have shockwave flash, but not any of the other plugins firefox said it installed, which show up in dpkg -l [04:59] Lasivian: for future purposes, "./filename" tells the systel to run the file named "filename" in the current dir. if "filename" file is not found, you will get that error [04:59] CMD_L1N3, ahh, might be [04:59] anyone know where i can get the NEW amarok for ubuntu 8.10? [04:59] 2.0 [04:59] how do i create a panel? [04:59] does hibernate (either swusp or an actual acpi hibernate) function correctly with an encrypted hard drive? (specifically, will the hard drive be encrypted after a hibernate, and will the machine hibernate and unhibernate correctly) [04:59] lol neverminde [04:59] bgamari: i disabled it. now i'll just wait. [05:00] Lancelot, you need to get the ppa [05:00] what's that? [05:00] Lancelot, it is still a *beta* [05:00] okay, but where can i get it? [05:00] bazhang, like gmail you mean? :P [05:01] fryguy: suspend-to-RAM works fine with disk encryption [05:01] http://www.kubuntu.org/amarok2-beta2 Lancelot do at your own risk [05:01] Wyzard: i'm asking about hibernate, not suspend-to-ram [05:01] kbrosnan: even when i install the .deb from adobe's site it doesnt show up in add-ons->extensions, any ideas? [05:01] fryguy: suspend-to-disk won't because the decryption key, normally stored in RAM, gets written to dis, encrypted with itself [05:01] ocRob: it would be in plugins [05:01] okay, thanks bazhang [05:01] I have a random question. I'll be cloning several Ubuntu machines at work, but they're older computers. I have 2 choices... USB (1.1) or over the network with 10/100 connections. What would be faster to transmit data? USB 1.1 or 10/100 network? [05:01] fryguy: well, depending on your setup it may be written to swapspace, but I use random encryption for swap [05:02] Wyzard: so when i boot the system again, it won't ask me like it would during a normal boot? What part of the boot process gets skipped to cause that to happen? [05:02] I tried to run this command on the remote computer mpg123 -@ /home/user/*.m3u and i got this error: Could not find package libao drive [05:02] dunno, becuase I haven't used hibernate due to the aforementioned random-encrypted swap [05:02] well crud, totem will not play my dvd [05:02] Wyzard: so, you aren't sure? [05:03] exit [05:03] If you have it save your RAM to a file in the filesystem, in principle it should be possible to prompt you for the passphrase during startup, but I don't know whether that's actually supported [05:03] what's the most recent kernel in hardy? (stable) [05:04] Saving to swap when the swap is random-encrypted is definitely impossible; the key in that case is not known to you, and stored only in RAM, so writing it to swapspace encrypted with that key (and erasing it from RAM) makes it unrecoverable [05:04] how can you upgrade to intrepid without screwing your sources.lst [05:04] i added a panel but my apps are not minimizing to it [05:04] five: you need to add the notification area applet to the panel [05:04] do you upgrade with alternate iso [05:04] aboucher, you update through the updater [05:04] ok got it [05:05] thnx [05:05] aboucher, you have many third party repos? not sure what you mean [05:05] yw [05:05] i now that, but without screwing your sources.lst [05:05] aboucher, elaborate [05:06] would someone humor me please, I just installed 8.10 and im trying to figure out if this page looks messed up because of firefox/ubuntu or because its just a messed up page. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98098442&ft=1&f=1001 thanks! [05:06] all the images seem pixelated [05:06] last time i upgrade it didn't finish and had to clean install because my sources.lst, ya know the thing that actually lets you update, got screwed up [05:06] ill check for ya [05:06] does xine work better than totem for dvd playing [05:06] maek: looks fine in firefox on Intrepid here === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [05:07] maek, what pictures? [05:07] ardchoille: the npr logo isnt pixilated for you? [05:07] no [05:07] oh, nope [05:07] wow, strange. no other page is doing that [05:07] jabagawee: like the text buttons at the top, programs, stations, etc etc [05:08] not being weird for me at all, maek [05:08] looks ok here, maek [05:08] ok, thanks all [05:08] aboucher, upgrading will involve your sources.list being altered. [05:09] i know but last time my upgrade got interupted and my sources were screwed [05:09] aboucher-> you can save a copy of sources.list [05:09] and had to clean install [05:09] aboucher, how was it interrupted [05:09] aboucher: you can make a copy of yoursources.list [05:09] my computer fell asleep, i just want to make sure it doesn't happen again [05:09] how do i make a named pipe? [05:09] Hi, how do you move the Avant Window Navigator to the left? [05:09] or right? [05:10] michelle_: that currently isn't possible, but planned for a future feature [05:10] hello, i have an updated 8.10 install with a intel 4965 AGN wireless that disconnects randomly from my router. any ideas?

[05:13] i just did "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade". once im done i do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" again, and see that: The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. - Could someone please explain why this didnt upgrade/install? [05:13] ok i added the notification area and my appz sill arent minimizing there [05:13] ardchoille, well it is prefaced with 'if you are feeling adventurous..' :) [05:14] does hibernate (either swusp or an actual acpi hibernate) function correctly with an encrypted hard drive? (specifically, will the hard drive be encrypted after a hibernate, and will the machine hibernate and unhibernate correctly) [05:14] bazhang: good point [05:14] !bitchx2 [05:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about bitchx2 [05:14] !bitchx [05:14] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:15] fryguy: hibernating certainly won't decrypt the drive [05:15] !irc | olskolirc [05:15] olskolirc: please see above [05:15] !frenode [05:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about frenode [05:15] fryguy: but you have to make sure you don't save the RAM somewhere unprotected (such as an unencrypted swap partition) since it contains the key [05:15] Wyzard: ? that doesn't make sense [05:15] nevermind i got it [05:15] i wanted window list not notification area [05:15] fryguy: you'd asked whether the drive will be encrypted after a hibernate [05:15] see above for what? [05:16] fryguy: If it was encrypted before the hibernate, it'll still be encrypted afterward [05:16] the welcome links are gone off my buffer [05:16] fryguy: but if you're not careful you might expose the key [05:16] kristian_: You'd need to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to grab any packages that have new dependencies, such as those kernel packages. [05:16] Wyzard: does the hard drive get encrypted before the hibernate? [05:16] Wyzard: i [05:16] hey everybody - trying to dual boot ubuntu/xp and having partitioning problems - i've got both xp on /dev/sda5 and ubuntu on /dev/sda6, but grub is not correctly recognizing the XP partition as a bootup option - ideas? [05:16] Wyzard: i'm not concerned at this point with exposing the key. I'm concerned with the 2 things I asked a question about [05:16] fryguy: Disk encryption means the hard drive is always encrypted, starting with when you install the system [05:17] Pici : and then reboot? [05:17] hello [05:17] What version of ubuntu would I download for my intel mac book pro? x86-64? [05:17] flakeparadigm_: sure, or 32bit if you want [05:17] flakeparadigm_: either version will work [05:18] kristian_: You only need to reboot, but you won't see the benefits of the updates until you do.

[05:20] flakeparadigm_: be sure to check help.ubuntu.com/community to check for fixes [05:20] Pici : at the same time your helping me is there some trigger so that i can limit the download speed for updates? because if i just write "sudo apt-get upgrades" then it will max my connection, and whenever i max out my connection i tend to disconnect from irc and lose wlan completely. :-( [05:20] VistaUser: you install vista, then you install ubuntu, and you are done [05:20] huh lol [05:21] VistaUser: seriously do it that way.. makes life easier [05:21] ok i have vista and now i want Ubuntu i [05:21] hi. general question. im trying to get my laptop to hibernate (Toshiba a215), but whenever i try, the screen just goes blank with a cursor blinking on the corner, but it does not hibernate. running 8.10 [05:21] VistaUser: so then install it [05:21] wont it go over my vista partition? [05:21] VistaUser: Ubuntu boot loader usualy GRUB will autorecognize vista :P [05:21] VistaUser: not unless you tell it to [05:21] <[c0re]> Pici, is syslogd == syslog-ng?? [05:21] VistaUser: not if you tell it not to [05:21] kristian_: the package 'trickle' is one way of modifying the bandwidth usage of a process. Install it and check the manpage for info. [05:21] [c0re]: no [05:21] how do i tell it not to [05:21] <[c0re]> oh ok [05:22] do i speak in a mic? [05:22] <[c0re]> fryguy, can you help me to configure udp??

[05:23] ive got compiz fusion running but i cant pick a screen res higher than 640x480, any ideas? other than RTFM [05:23] VistaUser: Then u need to shrink the partition to create space for ubuntu as cr4z3d said [05:23] i tried that bofore and i tried to install ubuntu in that partition and it wont go something about oot [05:23] because ive been Ring F M`s but im still stuck [05:23] moDumass: what graphics card [05:23] root* [05:24] ito_ nvidia fx5950, have nvidia driver installed, have compiz fusion working well [05:24] how does one read what wants in here filters out all the chatter? [05:24] moDumass, you installed nvidia-settings ? [05:24] VistaUser: what is that smth? [05:25] almark1, the joins and parts? what irc client [05:25] says an error with root [05:25] anyone have problems with an internal wifi card in a vista laptop not being compatable with ubuntu? [05:25] Pici : one last question. is there a command to view the man page of a package via nano or something? or it has to be www? [05:25] :bazhang irssi [05:25] almark1: /help ignore [05:25] tylerknowsthis: What card do you have? [05:25] :bazhang yeah If i just want to see say one person, just couris [05:25] thanks [05:26] np [05:26] moDumbass: install nvidia settings and see if that soolves your problems [05:26] hey [05:26] does resizing a partition wipe the disk? [05:26] kristian_: "has to be www?" [05:26] kristian_: man pages aren't normally viewed with a web browser [05:26] Jaredu: No. [05:26] <--- needs to know [05:26] ok thank god [05:26] (though they can often be found on the web) [05:26] also dont forget irssi has 1 billion more settings you can toy with by typing /set [05:26] Jaredu: depends on how it's done [05:27] yeah irssi has too many features for me to even deal with [05:27] Jaredu: Just be careful with what you're doing though, and for the love of God, do things *one* at a time, [05:27] im trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and it messed up [05:27] ito_ done, it doesnt allow me to pick a higher rez, and if i sudo into it and tell it to use a higher rez it doesnt actually change the rez, it just has me veiwing 640x480 but panning around a 1440x900 desktop [05:27] I do have a question concering Ubuntu Update Manager, after I updated today ubuntustudio didn't work right. It tried to install a new kernel, I have all my kernels in different folders in my boot drive, what can I do to fix it, what parts of boot did Update give me? [05:27] Wyzard : im new so how can i view man page of tricle via terminal? :) [05:27] so im just going to wipe the linux part of my drive [05:27] kristian_: "man tricle", assuming a manpage with that name exists (I've never heard of the program) [05:27] kristian_: em, man tricle? [05:28] kristian_: man trickle [05:28] I did an entire update please help anyone. [05:28] i dont have internet on my desktop cause my wifi stick isnt supported or i dont know how to set it up [05:28] one thing no other irc client has that irssi does, '/lastlog ' that is WIN [05:28] wow [05:28] i never even used lastlog. the new things i learn about irssi.. [05:29] :) [05:29] yeah lastlog is nice [05:29] No manual entry for trickle :( [05:29] hi to all ... i am trying to instal ubuntu 8.10 in my virtual pc platform but i get to the point of selecting the language and the keybord and then when i go down to the INSTALL UBUNTU comand the comand does not repsond any sugestions ? [05:29] anyone know how to make a wusb300n netgear wifi adapter work on ubuntu? [05:30] PlItS: why not just use vmware? [05:30] plItS check cd for errors [05:30] PlItS: try using the numpad. at least in VMware i can't use the arrow keys and have to use the numpad instead [05:30] If anyone could help me ask this question better it would be apprecated [05:30] anyone know how to make a wusb300n netgear wifi adapter work on ubuntu? [05:30] cr4z3d: There's a bug relating to keyboard mappings in VMware Server 2.0's remote console in Ubuntu [05:30] irssi? IRC client? [05:30] <^paradox^> yeh i need some help with open office [05:30] cr4z3d: It can be fixed with a config file, but I don't remember the details [05:30] ito_, the only monitor i can choose is crt1, and i have an LCD, i cant get my machine to recognise my monitor as an lcd === jeremy_ is now known as tchmnkyz [05:30] Wyzard: is there any known work arounds? [05:30] Wyzard & tiyowan & ardchoille : No manual entry for trickle :( - im looking for a program that i can set limit bw use. [05:31] kristian_: Did you install the trickle package? [05:31] Wyzard: oh nevermind.. but cool to hear i haven't figured out how to fix that yet [05:31] quit [05:31] kristian_: Limit what use? [05:31] <^paradox^> i already been to open office irc channel and ive been there i know 45 mins waiting for response [05:32] <^paradox^> theyre all just idling [05:32] Wyzard : not yet, do i have to do that for the man command to work? [05:32] tiyowan : bw [05:33] kristian_: yes, the manpage is part of the package (your computer does not come preinstalled with documentation for all the software that isn't actually installed yet) [05:33] i remember being in a situation like this where i could go through a gui that asked me what kind of monitor i had, i could pick "generic LCD 19 inch and scroll round to one that had the refresh rate i wanted" any idea how to get that again [05:33] anyone >.> [05:33] Wyzard : i just thought man would look and find it via apt-get or something. :-P [05:33] cr4z3d: the 'echo "xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true" >> ~/.vmware/config' from http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/vmware-and-fubar-keyboard-effect.html is what worked for me (with XUbuntu 8.10 and Server 2.0) [05:34] Wyzard : ok installed and man page up. thanks. :) [05:34] <^paradox^> im building some character profiles with open office. what i thought id do is have thumbnail size pics of the characters in the documents that direct link to the full size pic. is that possible? [05:35] is there a way to make ubuntu boot straight to the desktop? no login/password? [05:35] no [05:35] What does the Ubuntu Update manager put in the /boot directory? [05:35] only guest session [05:35] almark1: kernels [05:35] <^paradox^> running ubuntu 8.04 btw and open office 2.4.1 [05:36] hello my ubuntu brothers [05:36] :) [05:36] jawnv, you can set auto login [05:36] I just set up wake-on-lan, is there any way to set it up so that it goes straight to the desktop? [05:36] :Wyzard can I ask you about the update manager I have had a time getting a answer for some reason today, 1000 plus ppl beats me. [05:36] autologin sounds promising, let me look it up, thank you :) [05:36] Hi folks -- quick question. At setup time on my Ubuntu 8.10 install, it called my system username-desktop -- how can I modify this? [05:36] its even showing up in my router that way [05:36] thank you Wyzard vmware now works properly [05:37] jawnv, system > administration > login window [05:37] noobkinds: on terminal type $ sudo gedit /etc/hostname [05:37] vimix not a good idea [05:37] what is the proper way to get java working on firefox on a 64 bit 8.10? [05:37] nooo [05:38] almark1: what about it? [05:38] vimix please suggest gksudo for gui apps [05:38] jack_sparrow why? [05:38] should I do that or no? [05:38] !gksudo > vimix [05:38] vimix, please see my private message [05:38] phishie: No 64-bit Sun Java browser plugin exists [05:38] :Wyzard After I updated my UbuntuStudio Ubuntu didn't function right, the update failed too, the image didn't install right or something, I don't use the grub install method that Ubuntu wants I have a dual boot with Gentoo and Ubuntu so I need to fix this mess or just need to know what files Ubuntu update installed to my boot so I can move them and then set the menu.lst [05:38] noobkins gksudo gedit if you please [05:38] that was easy enough, off to go test it, thanks! [05:38] Jack_Sparrow: oh, great. thanks man. thanks vimix also. [05:38] phishie you can install 32-bit version of firefox with the plugin [05:39] phishie: GIJ might, but my experience with GIJ has been that it's incomplete and not really something I'd want to use (particularly since Java 7 will be GPL, and reportedly will have a 64-bit plugin) [05:39] sory if suggest u wrong way ^_^ [05:39] will try it now, brb [05:39] vimix not a problem [05:39] Wyzard, thanks [05:39] five, thanks [05:39] almark1: "didn't function right"? [05:39] almark1: Did the new kernel fail to boot? [05:39] phishie i could find the link for you real quick [05:39] five, please do =) [05:40] :Wyzard The new kernel didn't install [05:40] anyone know how to make a wusb300n netgear wifi adapter work on ubuntu? [05:40] phishie http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [05:40] or at least sugestions? [05:40] !wifi [05:40] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:41] almark1: and what happens if you try to install it again? [05:41] Jaredu, what chipset [05:41] :Wyzard Its weird but I have this setup /boot/ubuntu (kernels) /boot/for Gentoo /boot/ubuntustudio for *guess* anyway ubuntu doesn't know what to do i guess [05:41] five, thank you so much. really appreciate it [05:41] its usb [05:41] phishie yw [05:41] :Wyzard It won't install again [05:41] Jaredu, need the exact chipset [05:41] almark1: error message? [05:41] wusb300n [05:41] :Wyzard I can't reproduce it [05:41] :Wyzard I need a log file, but don't know what it is called. [05:42] Jaredu, is it plugged in currently and are you on that machine now? [05:42] almark1: then I can't help you; "my kernel didn't install" is not enough information to figure out what the problem is [05:42] :Wyzard Where is the log file for Ubuntu update, if I had that I'll be glad to nopaste it glad. [05:42] almark1: You don't need a log file; just try installing the update again and see what error message you get [05:43] I don't think errors while installing packages are logged [05:43] Hmm...anyone having trouble playing xvid files in intrepid? [05:43] :Wyzard sudo apt-get install update? [05:43] bazhang yes im resizing the partition at the moment though attempting to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 via a cd i burned since i dont have network [05:43] :Wyzard I updated the gui way i'm afraid [05:43] im on my tablet @tm [05:44] Jaredu, then check back in when you can give the relevant info; without the exact chipset there wont be any help (ie NOT make and model) [05:44] ah [05:44] where would i find tnhe chipset? [05:44] lsusb [05:44] almark1: It'd be "sudo apt-get upgrade", or if that doesn't want to install the updates, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [05:44] :Wyzard going to try to get into ubuntu term away from xorg thanks for your help, hope I can get a error to someone in here [05:44] almark1: or you could just use the GUI again [05:45] almark1: Are you saying xorg isn't working? [05:45] mmk [05:45] :Wyzard its worse then that lol [05:45] ill check back after i finish [05:45] What's the difference between upgrade and dis-upgrade, just the kernel upgrades? [05:45] almark1: Trying and failing to install a kernel update would not break xorg [05:46] :Wyzard because update installed stuff my othere kernel is now usless pretty much, I need the kernels and stuff and then I"ll be set, they work with this new setup. that is why I want their names [05:46] ardchoille: upgrade only installs new versions of packages that are currently installed, and won't install anything new or remove packages [05:46] ok so i made partition and did what u guys said and nothing [05:46] :Wyzard I'm in Gentoo btw [05:46] i cant get Ubuntu in there [05:46] ardchoille: packages get held back if the new version's dependencies aren't met by the currently-installed set of packages [05:46] :Wyzard just the names pls ;) [05:47] ardchoille: dist-upgrade will add and remove other packages as necessary to satisfy the dependencies of the new package [05:47] Wyzard: Ah, thank you [05:47] almark1 please /j #Gentoo for help with that release [05:47] don't need help with Gentoo [05:47] almark1: Updates to other software aren't related to the kernel update... you should be able to boot the system with the old kernel (the same one you were using before this update thing) and use it normally [05:47] please help [05:47] i need help my screensavers that are 3d dont work [05:48] do you have the restricted drivers installed? [05:48] for your gfx xard? [05:48] how do i do tht [05:48] almark1: I don't understand what "names" you're asking me for [05:49] tleeonly: system>admin>hardware drivers ...look for ones that match your card and follow the step by step instructions [05:49] :Wyzard after the update firefox quit working and then I tried to reboot, the computer locked up. so i had to hard boot it. then I reboot it and things working pretty good, so I checked reboot again, it didnt reboot, because the new files wanted that kernel, Its married to that kernel [05:50] :Wyzard so keep it easy Wyzard I'll try to reproduce the error, or I might just install its 3 days old anyway [05:50] i dont have a graphics card i have a controller [05:50] almark1: You're making vague statements that don't make sense [05:50] anyone help me get ubuntu on my hard drive [05:50] what "new files", specifically, wanted the new kernel? [05:50] hey all, somewhere there is a way to configure your display, where is this, where do i say "i have a 19inch 1440x900 lcd display? [05:51] The kernel and userland are largely independent of each other; bugfix updates to libraries and applications do not depend on a specific updated kernel version [05:51] :Wyzard sorry, I need to know what files the update installed in /boot so I can copy them to a safe place and append the kernel names in to my menu.lst and then reboot all should work then understand? [05:51] moDumass, did you install nvidia-settings [05:52] :Wyzard I use boot partition for all my distos one boot part [05:52] !dualboot | VistaUser [05:52] VistaUser: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:52] :Wyzard confusing I know [05:52] ty [05:52] almark1: If you're using a custom /boot partition with a bunch of kernels, the install failure might just've been that it's full [05:53] so i'm using fluxbox instead of gnome, is there any way to get the auto update notifcations like i had on gnome? [05:53] almark1: If you just want to boot a different kernel, you don't need to edit menu.lst; you can choose it from the grub menu at boot time, or if it's one that isn't in the grub menu, press 'e' to edit an existing entry on-the-fly and you can type whatever kernel name you want, then 'b' to boot it [05:53] there are not restricted drivers in the list [05:53] :Wyzard Its organzied, but there we some kernels from Ubuntu in the boot folder. and the update just confused me, wouldn't everything that was installed to that folder have the exact date like yesterday 12 11 2008 would that be it? [05:54] I have a dynamic IP. Should I run ssh-keygen multiple times? [05:54] presumably, yes [05:54] :( [05:54] badri: no, your SSH key has nothing to do with your IP [05:54] :Wyzard I have not been able to get grub to let me do that. dumb I guess lol [05:55] if i've installed ubuntu with the root disk encryption option, is it possible to change the password? [05:55] Wyzard: Then, as long as I am only SSHing FROM my computer, not TO it, I don't have to worry about running i multiple times right? [05:55] bazhang i have indeed [05:55] almark1: 'e' to edit the currently-selected entry, or 'c' for a command line where you can type commands like "kernel" and "initrd" and "boot" directly [05:55] I basically want to have keyless login [05:55] to other comps [05:55] sorry passwordles [05:55] nggggg [05:56] bazhang, but even in there i cant find a section that gives me the option to change resolution [05:56] :Wyzard If you could shed some light on what happens when update does its thing, like is it suppose to change your menu.lst and install a new kernel custom made for the files it installs, and All I have done is make things harder on myself? [05:56] badri: then generate a key with ssh-keygen, and put the public part (e.g. id_rsa.pub) in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the other machines you want to log into [05:56] hrm, I've got my ubuntu with my printer working. How can I make the printer network shared so I can print from other machines? [05:56] :Wyzard thanks I'll try that [05:56] Wyzard: Cool, thanks [05:56] bazhang, also because the res is so low when i click in nvidia-settings ir jumps all over the show [05:56] Anybody here have any experience with Clonezilla? [05:56] i cant print! [05:57] almark1: update is just a frontend to apt and dpkg, to download and install a .deb package [05:57] Lartza_: what kind of printer [05:57] "deskjet 6127 is mmaybe not connected" [05:57] normal ink [05:57] well, it's probably not connected [05:57] :Wyzard yet it installs another kernel if you do a complete update, which was dumb on my part. [05:57] i cna get to settings, power light is on, it syas 1 job on queue [05:57] or you didn't configure it right in cups [05:57] ok [05:57] there is a button that says jobs will or wont be processed [05:57] find that button [05:58] hello i have a question. Im experiencing a slow internet connection. I have cable internet. I thought it was firefox but my connection was still slow on opera. My moms XP PC is alot faster so its not my connection. Anyone else having this problem? [05:58] ok [05:58] its possible for me to reduce my SWAP size, correct? I see no need for the size of SWAP I have if I'm using so little of it [05:58] almark1: When dpkg installs the kernel .deb package, it unpacks the vmlinuz file to /boot (as well as some unimportant stuff like the config and System.map), then runs the package's postinst script, which runs update-initramfs to generate the initrd file in /boot followed by update-grub to add the entry to menu.lst [05:58] Tyler-J-B: how big is your swap [05:58] Tyler-J-B: how big is your harddisk [05:58] failsaur, 3.1GB [05:59] what about the rest of the disk [05:59] failsaur, 80GB HDD. 3.1GB SWAP. 1.3GB of physical memory. [05:59] :Wyzard I see thanks, so it is suppose to update your menu.lst, but it didn't update my menu.lst because its not owned by ubuntu am I right? [05:59] wasnt anything like that [05:59] don't bother.. you'd have to back up the whole 80gb drive, delete the swap, make a new smaller swap, and resize the other partition [05:59] that would take hours [05:59] :Wyzard My question is what is all that stuff that ubuntu puts in boot, abi. -- something is that stuff needed? [06:00] just delete some of your pr0n to save space instead [06:00] almark1: If your menu.lst doesn't have the special comment lines that tell update-grub which part it's supposed to edit, update-grub won't touch it [06:00] my printer is just processing [06:00] almark1: The only files that are actually used during booting are the vmlinuz and initrd files [06:00] hey all [06:00] almark1: The others are used for troubleshooting [06:00] nice when 2 OS fail same day... [06:00] hello [06:00] I'm trying to find some info on an issue i'm having w/ 8.10 [06:00] anyone experiencing slow internet connection on ubuntu 8.10? [06:00] :Wyzard you see heres the thing, I didn't install grub with Ubuntu, I did with Gentoo, should I just install grub with Ubuntu and call this mess over? [06:00] i cant login to windows and print with ubuntu [06:01] Anybody here have any experience with Clonezilla? [06:01] Lartza_: printers->print test page [06:01] :Wyzard Thanks for clearing that up troubleshooting huh, what is abi if I can ask? [06:01] almark1: doesn't matter how you installed grub (update-grub doesn't reinstall grub, it just edits menu.lst, and even that only if it understands what it's supposed to edit) [06:01] incadudeF many times it is a poorly supported network card, what are you running [06:01] then go to jobs [06:01] i dont watn to waste paper :/ [06:01] it just syas "Printer not connected?" [06:01] Has anyone been experiencing an issue w/ mouse stuttering after playing audio for a while under 8.10? [06:01] maybe i should have rebooted? [06:02] Lartza_: are you serious? [06:02] Lartza_: print a freaking test page [06:02] almark1: the abi file looks like a list of exported functions in the kernel (functions that are available for kernel modules to use) [06:02] my torrent downloads are not slow though [06:02] :Wyzard "makes a horse sound" man should I just do it the ubuntu way and ditch the Gentoo gurb mess? [06:02] Lartza_ Windows says the ubuntu printer is not connected? [06:02] i just plugged in and then started to print [06:02] no [06:02] cancel jobs [06:02] nothing to do with windows [06:02] :Wyzard do I need the abi file? [06:02] i cancel [06:02] Lartza_: problems aren't solved by guessing, you need to do tests [06:02] Lartza_: are you in CUPS web admin tool/ [06:02] i takes about a minute to load google.com [06:02] :Wyzard where on the web does it tell you what all those file do? [06:02] anyone? [06:02] almark1: It can be useful for troubleshooting, but as far as normal operation is concerned, your system would work fine without it [06:02] failsaur: no [06:03] Lartza_: are you trying to print under ubuntu? [06:03] almark1: I don't see why you'd want to remove it [06:03] yes [06:03] Lartza_ You can see why this might be confusing to people [06:03] i cant login to windows and print with ubuntu [06:03] Lartza_: so open cups up in your browser [06:03] and i need to print fast [06:03] claire_philly, no i havnt [06:03] i read some where that it might be my DNS address. [06:03] :Wyzard confusing to other users, I am so used to making my own kernel that is just to easy lol [06:03] but the fix wwas for gusty [06:03] im there [06:03] ok, go to printers and click print test page. [06:04] then go to jobs [06:04] :Wyzard not to remove but do i need it just wanted to know what all that stuff does. I like to analize things [06:04] sloopy: i'm guessing its an issue btw my sound card & interrupt handling [06:04] Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published. printer state should say something like that [06:04] yours says, "disconnected"?

[06:06] :Wyzard I didn't find a vmlinuz kernel from the update i'll let this person talk now [06:06] ok, go to jobs [06:06] anybody here know how to get identd working? I've got it running, but it doesn't seem to be responding to ident requests. [06:06] almark1: Is your /boot partition full?

[06:07] yes [06:07] Does anyone know of a tool that would let me add a shell script to an install cd so taht it is exicuted on startup [06:07] ? === fyrfaktry_ is now known as fyrfaktry [06:07] almark1: filling up /boot is a common reason for kernel updates to fail to install [06:07] :Wyzard I'll check just for a lark [06:07] Lartza_: cd /var/log/cups [06:07] :Wyzard 67mg [06:07] Hi all [06:07] im there [06:07] almark1: btw, the number after the kernel version number in your version string -- for example, the 9 in 2.6.27-9-generic -- is an ABI version number [06:08] Lartza_: tac ./error_log |less [06:08] :Wyzard we learn something new everyday [06:08] Lartza_: look for errors near the top [06:08] sloopy: this is an older machine... dual PIII, emu10k... its odd after viewing video or playing sound for a while, things start stuttering... every stutter causes a processor spike [06:08] and try to figure out what you did wrong in your config [06:08] almark1: Most kernel updates don't break compatibility with compiled kernel modules, so the ABI number doesn't change [06:08] perhaps do the whole config over [06:08] :Wyzard where can I go to get this valuable info? [06:09] failsaur: i see ~ over and over again then (END) [06:09] oh [06:09] almark1: if a change to the kernel breaks compatibility with existing compiled kernel modules -- that is, modules compiled against the old kernel may not work with the new one, and need to be recompiled against the new kernel -- that's an ABI change, and that number gets incremented [06:09] access denied [06:09] sudo?

[06:10] Hi, [06:10] Pnx [06:10] sloopy: I'm thinking that i'm gonna have to start diving into kernel code to find the issue [06:10] failsaur: CUPS-Set-Default: Unauthorized [06:10] almark1: I don't know anything about studio's custom setup, sorry [06:10] failsaur: CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized [06:11] claire_philly, good luck, dont forget to take an air line to find you way back to civilization [06:11] almark1: but your -rt kernel should still be installed and available for booting [06:11] Lartza_: hmm [06:11] :Wyzard just have to try some things I guess, there are common users and there are tweak users I'm the latter.

[06:14] how to change print driver used? [06:14] almark1: On your own system, those config files don't "do" anything at all; they're just there as documentation of what options the kernel was built with [06:14] hey guys... when did frostwire get taken out of the repositories ? or do i need in 8.10 to enable the restricted repository ?

It didnt work [06:17] almark1: I'd recommend sticking with the stock kernels, especially if you have real-time needs [06:17] i cant print could someone help? [06:17] :Wyzard what are the benifits of rt? === _lifi is now known as lifi [06:18] :Wyzard benefits [06:19] almark1: avoiding "hiccups" where your software stops responding briefly (even just a fraction of a second) due to other processing bogging down the CPU [06:19] which is important when doing things like recording [06:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing [06:19] :Wyzard rt is better ;) [06:20] depends on your usage... non-RT systems can provide better overall throughput, at the expense of more latency at times [06:20] :Wyzard yet on the web Ubuntu says they do not support SMP and Hyperthreading, does this mean 8.10 will not utiltize my P4 hyperthreading? [06:21] That's not related to RT, but yes, Ubuntu supports hyperthreading [06:21] i want to run postgres 8.10 on ubuntu [06:21] can anyone here help me use nvclock?

[06:32] claire_philly, do you remember the fix because i cant figure out a fix [06:32] moDumass: do you have more than 1 monitor?

[06:35] Wyzard: yes, perhaps the Makefile for this library didn't run ldconfig [06:35] I don't know how to ask uboto or ubotto please help. [06:35] came from hp-check [06:35] Wyzard: no big deal [06:35] it works now anyway [06:35] slava: Take /usr/local/lib out of ld.so.conf and run ldconfig again to see, I guess [06:36] jolter, nup, just the one screen i could choose, wouldnt let me configure anything, even in sudo [06:36] I wouldn't recommend leaving it there (it may not actually make a difference, but introducing unnecessary differences from the standard configuration is just asking for trouble later) [06:36] moDumass: ok :( [06:36] moDumass: what monitor do you have? [06:36] Can someone please help me with my computer freezing?

[06:42] I need help with configuring Bandlux E120 in linux [06:42] hi all, i just ran "sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" , but the results is always : no server suitable for synchoronnization found? how can i do that? i changed the server to asia.pool.ntp.org, but the result is the same, how can i do that? [06:42] Oh, Ok [06:42] where should vmlinuz and initrd.img that are in / be pointing to ? [06:42] what happins when it does freeze? i have to restart. so i come back in here? [06:42] one of my friends asked for help [06:42] he's somewhere in a rural place [06:43] with 3 machines [06:43] gnea:right?

[06:43] almark1: They don't really matter these days AFAIK, and are there mostly for historical reasons [06:43] eweb100: basically - see if you can copy down, somewhere, what the log says on the last 2 or 3 lines before rebooting [06:43] sorry, somehow that damn modem works in the Win machine. but not in two Ubuntu machines [06:43] this is just a question but has anyone in here tried Sabayon-Linux? [06:43] Hey, I have a little question. anyone know how to get single clicking like in windows? [06:43] ok i will.. time to crash woot [06:44] Ie: single click to open folders [06:44] almark1: but the kernel packages maintain them to point to the most recent installed kernel [06:44] !winmodem | seejay [06:44] seejay: You want to connect via dial-up?

Please tell me what the foul word was so I know for later. Again, In Canada.. none of those words are swearing. [06:45] its bandlux e120 USB HSDPA modem [06:46] Wyzard: so I have my kernel installed in /boot/ubuntustudio should the ones in / have the same link? [06:46] <^paradox^> these ppl in open office channel are all just sitting there idling [06:46] Tapout: don't stress over it, 'hell', used in certain context, can be considered offensive. [06:46] <^paradox^> i been there close to two hours and no response [06:46] Wyzard: that could be what is causing this mess right? [06:46] Hey guys! I have this problem my sound works fine in vlc amarok and on youtube etc... but my totem player cant play sound and when I go yo System-> Preferences-> Sound and push the test button on playback I get this error audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:46] gnea, wow.. not really a big deal here. Ok thanks Gnea [06:46] <^paradox^> sorry i gotta ask my question here [06:47] Tapout: here, you're not in canada, there's a much broader audience [06:47] almark1: To the best of my knowledge, the vmlinuz and initrd symlinks in / are not used by anything and it doesn't matter if they even exist [06:47] almark1: but why is your kernel in /boot/ubuntustudio rather than /boot? [06:47] hey all, im back, removed all .files from my home dir, no change noticed, still in 640x480 land [06:48] <^paradox^> im building some character profiles with the open office word processor and what i thought id do is put some thumbnail size pics in em that direct link to the full size pic. is yhis possible? [06:48] almark1: Is that the standard location for Studio, or did you move it there manually? [06:48] Wyzard: because I have two distos gentoo and ubuntu [06:48] <^paradox^> *this [06:48] ^paradox^ Their channel is slow, but that is the right place for answers [06:48] hey bazhang ... [06:49] Wyzard: what I did was update Ubuntu 8.10 to studio with apt-get, it worked too [06:49] i'm just trying to look for the scripting that yall use as i've googled the protection scripts and i can't find a good base to build this "soup" script i'm going to work on for a friend.. [06:49] <^paradox^> Jack_Sparrow: i know, but id like an answer before morning [06:49] i could do it with mirc but the chan ops use xchat.. [06:49] well it froze..and i couldn't even move my mouse. nothing changed in the terminal window [06:49] almark1: I wouldn't really recommend manually moving Ubuntu's kernels into different directories; that causes the package system to lose track of them, because they're not where the package metadata says they are [06:49] ^paradox^ Find a apropiate channel [06:49] i think my graphics card is crashing? can they do that? [06:50] !ru | djon [06:50] djon: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:50] Wyzard: Oh oO Oo no. [06:50] Hey guys! I have this problem my sound works fine in vlc amarok and on youtube etc... but my totem player cant play sound and when I go yo System-> Preferences-> Sound and push the test button on playback I get this error audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:50] Djon, /join #ubuntu-ru [06:50] <^paradox^> are there any other channels i could ask in? [06:50] Da [06:50] !ru [06:50] Djon, english only here. [06:51] almark1: it's nothing that would prevent your system from booting, if you've set them up in the new location in menu.lst, but it's a bad idea from a maintainability standpoint [06:51] Wyzard: /boot is good only then> [06:51] No english [06:51] is there a fix for the problem where you have to restart apps that used sound after a suspend so you can get some sound? [06:52] what do i do with a .sh file? [06:52] eweb100: okay [06:52] its a program [06:52] join #openoffice [06:52] five: sh ./file.sh [06:52] Wyzard it all sounds rediculious huh, [06:52] oops [06:52] five: that's a shell script [06:52] five: you can run it with: sh file.sh [06:52] gnea: i think it has something to do with my graphics card. [06:52] ok thnx [06:52] Gnea, thanks .. worked :) [06:52] eweb100: i doubt that.. are you familiar with editting grub commands? [06:52] five: but I'd be weary about what it does before running it [06:52] yep [06:53] how do i upgrade to openoffice 3 from ubuntu 8.04 ? [06:53] How to run a .sh file? Run script with the command /.file , it must be set executable, chmod u+x file [06:53] lol [06:53] Tapout: cheers :) [06:53] almark1: It could potentially cause dpkg to get confused when removing or upgrading the kernel package, though I'm not sure [06:53] hello. i have a Debian installation on one hard that i have grub installed from. i installed ubuntu 8.10 onto a second hard drive and then went in and edited the menu.lst file in my Debian installation. when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get the following error... Filesystem type unknown: error 17 partition type 0x5 - it's not complaining about finding the vmlinuz(kernel) file, it's complaining about the partition type. anyon [06:53] e know what's wrong? [06:53] one time I made a sh script to catalog my cdrom disks for me, it worked too :) [06:53] gnea: Yes i am familiar with eding them [06:54] eweb100: okay - i've had systems lockup before, so i try to pass the kernel different options to see if it'll change it - the one that *usually* works, is pci=routeirq [06:54] Wyzard: I'll take your advice and let it alone, make Ubuntu happy, I mean the other disto i have has emerge and that can't be disturbed as well. [06:55] almark1: yeah, changing things out from under the package system is a bad idea on any distro [06:55] Ok i edit the grub all the time.. But i Dont really understand that last thing. [06:55] lol I can open grub editor, change boot menues [06:55] eweb100: append it to the end of the kernel line :) [06:55] o ok kool [06:55] hmm, man why has this happened, i cant change res higher than 640x480 [06:56] i got permission denied trying to sh ./file.sh [06:56] wait im not in root lol [06:56] used to opening root terminal [06:56] lol [06:56] me too [06:56] five: what's the name of the file?

[06:56] i know what it should do [06:57] as to the name id rather not say [06:57] hello everyone [06:57] lol. [06:57] five: ./blowup-doll? [06:57] got it running [06:57] anyone know how i can convert my windows playlists from winamp to relative directories, someone told me that's what i need to do to get amarok/jukebox to lookup my music from windows-based directory lookup [06:57] onetinsoldier: keep it family-friendly, please [06:57] Hello guys [06:58] this is my first time here,anybody wants to talk with me ? [06:58] gnea: do i put that code to the end of the kernel boot line? [06:58] gnea: after the ro [06:58] Tppc this is not a chat channel.. support questions only thanks [06:58] this time i'm leaving have a lot of work to do thanks [06:58] eweb100: yeah [06:58] ok [06:59] gnea: this is what it is now [06:59] hey, I'm looking to install ubuntu to an external usb hard disk but i cant decide whether to a normal flash memory stick (although of the high speed variety) or to go for a normal hard drive in a USB enclosure. which is likely to be the quickest?

[06:59] eweb100: cool [06:59] im in root [06:59] confusion [06:59] five: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:59] gnea: correct? or no? [06:59] five: well, we really can't help you out if there's a potential legal issue at hand. [07:00] hello guys [07:00] Gnea there isnt [07:00] eweb100: yes, correct. [07:00] tritium: ok, roger. sorry [07:00] i would rather just not say what im installing [07:00] gnea: thanks i will try [07:00] ill figure it out [07:01] got it, it worked under root terminal [07:02] thnx for the help [07:02] how do i get to my router's config via web browser? [07:02] lawstudent: look at your router's manual. [07:02] lawstudent: the topic for this channel is ubuntu support [07:02] isn't there a generic URL to get to one's router config? [07:03] lawstudent: yes, the user manual will tell you what it is. [07:03] hello. i have a debian installation on one hard that i have grub installed from. i installed Ubuntu 8.10 onto a second hard drive and then went in and edited the menu.lst file in my Debian installation. when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get the following error... Filesystem type unknown: error 17 partition type 0x5 - it's not complaining about finding the vmlinuz(kernel) file, it's complaining about the partition type. [07:03] anyone know what might be worng? [07:03] lawstudent: usually it's something like "192.168.1.1" or 1.0 or 1.99 [07:03] gnea: thank you for the help is there any way i know if it worked? other than the lack of crashing? [07:03] eweb100: nope, that's pretty much the only way to know [07:04] gnea: well in that case thanks for the help =) [07:04] lawstudent, its usually the gateway or dhcp server ip [07:04] eweb100: cheers [07:04] ftw [07:04] can i get some applause for pringing out 50 pages about how to learn the terminal? thank you ladies and gentlemen :) [07:04] for printing* [07:04] what version of grub does 8.10 use? legacy grub or grub2? [07:04] i am taking the plunge [07:05] bdelin88: 50? that's *it*?! ;) [07:05] Gnea: shh! don't scare me too much! lol [07:05] !info grub intrepid [07:05] bdelin88, use a rope to find your way back to civilization... [07:05] grub (source: grub): GRand Unified Bootloader. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-29ubuntu45 (intrepid), package size 392 kB, installed size 916 kB [07:05] Gnea: finally i have an understanding of options, such as "ls" "-h" and stuff like that [07:05] sloopy: lol [07:05] thanks Gnea, legacy grub then. [07:06] my manual says "http://my.router", but that doesn't work. ( cf http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/network/2350/en/index.htm ) [07:06] sloopy: you don't use the terminal? [07:06] lawstudent: you're offtopic, as I've told you before [07:06] lawstudent, try your gateway ip [07:06] sloopy: what's my gateway ip, how can i find out? [07:06] lawstudent: yeah, you'll need to look at your connection settings for that - usually just right-click on your network icon on the upper-right and select the option to see them [07:06] tritium: where shoeuld i go [07:06] WAIT WAIT I KNOW [07:06] lawstudent: it's ok, proceed. [07:07] bdelin88, yeah i learned to use the terminal when i was on a terminal (vt52a) [07:07] is there a microsoft sam for ubuntu? [07:07] go to the terminal [07:07] hi guys. i get boot error when i open machine. i have kubuntu 8.10 [07:07] lawstudent: and type "ifconfig" right??? [07:07] chilli0: lol no === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [07:07] chilli0: well, it can be applied using samba and winbind [07:07] chilli0: but there is a package called 'festival' [07:07] Gnea: anything like it? [07:07] i tried to fix slow usb speed, and googling around i did "sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd". i rebooted. and now boot error. that's all :( [07:07] Gnea: did i give him good advice? lol, i told him to check with "ifconfig" [07:07] k ill have a look festival [07:07] !samba | chilli0 [07:07] chilli0: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [07:07] !festival [07:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about festival [07:07] Gnea: i'm currently on a WinXP comp. (My ubuntu box is going to share the router) [07:07] lawstudent: type "netstat -rn" [07:08] dangit [07:08] lawstudent: you'll need to boot it into ubuntu in order to use that feature. [07:08] tritium: what's the equivalent on WinXP? [07:08] onetinsoldier: how do i use it? its installed [07:08] i cant boot [07:08] lawstudent: I don't use Windows, sorry. [07:08] chilli0: that i don't know [07:08] k [07:08] lawstudent: press windows key + r, then type "ipconfig /all" and look for "gateway" [07:08] afk [07:09] bdelin88, yes that will give some info, while learning the terminal also wrap an eyeball around netstat, and look at 'du -n --max-depth=1' [07:09] Hello guys [07:10] hey, I'm looking to install ubuntu to an external usb hard disk but i cant decide whether to a normal flash memory stick (although of the high speed variety) or to go for a normal hard drive in a USB enclosure. which is likely to be the quickest? [07:10] sloopy: dunno what all the means, but i am sure i will find out [07:10] bdelin88: bingo! thanks!!! [07:10] sloopy: heh, wait... du is disk usage, oooh yea [07:10] hi .. is there a mass file renaming tool for ubuntu ? [07:11] sloopy: -n for network maybe? [07:11] dmulholland, eventually the HD will be quicker, i have heard of flash drives dieing when used as root fs [07:11] bdelin88, err -h not -n [07:12] dmulholland: i would think the usb stick might be faster since your talking about both being usb devices, the difference being that a usb stick is like a solid state drive. downside is small size [07:12] Flash drives wear out sooner when written to frequently [07:12] sloopy: human readable :) [07:12] sloopy, yeah that's what I thought myself [07:12] bdelin88, i use that command so often i alias it to duf [07:12] :Wyzard I got it working again, but I cant reinstall the updates [07:12] sloopy: alias it to duf? [07:12] almark1: error message? [07:12] gnea: Quite QQ when i went back into the grub list it changed the pci=routeirq to single.....? [07:12] dmulholland, but yes the flash would probly be faster if both devices work properly [07:13] :Wyzard none was given, all has already been installed [07:13] eweb100: are you sure you editted the correct entry? [07:13] sloopy, i wasnt sure about that because sometimes i find the SSD hard drive in my eee 901 to be really slow [07:13] bdelin88, 'alias duf='du -h --max-depth=1' [07:13] gnea: was i sopost to edit the one i use to boot normaly? [07:13] sloopy, like updating takes a long time because of the hd [07:13] sloopy: ah.... gonna have to read up on that one [07:14] almark1: then the new kernel *is* installed [07:14] hello. i have a debian installation on one hard that i have grub installed from. i installed Ubuntu 8.10 onto a second hard drive and then went in and edited the menu.lst file in my Debian installation. when i try to boot into Ubuntu i get the following error... Filesystem type unknown: error 17 partition type 0x5 - it's not complaining about finding the vmlinuz(kernel) file, it's complaining about the partition type. [07:14] eweb100: yeah, the one at the top of the list is usually good enough [07:14] dmulholland, i have 2 sandisk cruzer mini's (2GB and 4GB) and the ext usb (internel to it sata) hdd is faster for me... [07:14] anyone know what might be wrong? [07:14] how do I Setar or drive beyond the vesa in xorg? [07:15] sloopy: hey can you check this out and answer a quick question i have on the "df" command? http://paste.ubuntu.com/84246/ [07:15] onetinsoldier, sure you are specifying correct partition? [07:15] :Wyzard I copied the ubuntustudio kernel files to /boot but the ones update did must have been different but oh well, it works that is all matters anyway [07:15] sloopy, thanks for that, that's been my experience as well [07:15] bdelin88, once it finally loads on my machine.. [07:15] I dl'ed ubuntu from the website and clicked on it .....cyberlink power2go opened and I told it to burn a copy ...it burned it ...then it shows as not being burned ...then I right clicked on the DL'ed file ...it showed as being 699 mb, but it is not on the disk ...now it might be as simple as a corrupted burn and I can reburn at a slower rate and all will be well [07:15] sloopy: lol ok [07:16] hi .. is there a mass file renaming tool for ubuntu ? [07:16] bdelin88, ok and the ? is? [07:16] any thoughts? [07:16] sloopy: no.. i'm not certain. i think i might be getting a little confused in the menu.lst file, maybe. thought i had it right but perhaps not [07:16] sloopy: why do they all say size 1.3 gb [07:16] sloopy: and then it says that sdb6 is 51gb, 2.5 used, but why only 46 left? that doesn't add up [07:17] bde how much ram does it have? [07:17] almark1: The root problem is that something went wrong while installing an update, and you have no idea what it was, and didn't remember or write down the error message -- you can't be entirely sure that everything's back as it should be when you don't know what the original problem was [07:18] bdelin88, some is used for house keeping [07:18] :Wyzard your right, I dont know how to get the error back [07:18] sloopy: ok, i looked again and see where i might have been mistaken. going to try again. thanks. i'll be back after a bit i hope [07:18] sloopy: so it's like 'reserved' space or something? [07:19] bdelin88, its used for directory structure, filesystem journal, etc [07:19] :Wyzard the problem was the image and the kernel could not install [07:20] sloopy: ah ok [07:20] does anyone know a good guide that explains how the root file system is structured, for instance, where things are commonly installed, etc....? [07:20] you mean disk format or filesystem layout? [07:20] i was trying to find where my ssl certificates were stored and i am trying to find out how linux stores things like that [07:20] bdelin88: I suggest you read the Debian Reference, or http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html [07:21] almark1: That's like getting sick and saying your illness is that you have a headache [07:21] tritium: thank you [07:21] Wyzard: lol [07:21] almark1: "the kernel failed to install" is an end result; it's not enough detail to understand what *actually* went wrong [07:21] gnea: well i was stupid and closed the term window before saving the grub config. SO i did and now it saved =) [07:21] bdelin88: Debian has several good documents worth reading [07:21] gnea: only time will tell [07:21] tritium: i will definately look into that [07:21] eweb100: lol [07:21] later ppl [07:21] Wyzard: I couldn't do much, I rem that, so I lost the error "..." [07:22] gnea: and ime going to bed so good night... hope 2 seek guidence from you some time in the future [07:22] eweb100: :) [07:22] almark1: It's a good idea to write down an error message (or save it to a file) if you plan to ask for help about it [07:23] Wyzard: will do nexttime [07:23] i am still waiting for the amazing DWIM computer... [07:23] whats the audio player for ubuntu to play shoutcast streams ? [07:24] halp idk what i did theres snow everywhere on my desktop [07:24] anybody have a sec to mention my issue? [07:24] does any think its better to go with a 32 bit distro even though i have 64 just 4 more drivers and compatability? [07:24] *lumbergh voice* hey... what's happening? [07:24] whats the audio player for ubuntu to play shoutcast streams ? [07:25] tankpunk: I run 64-bit and have had no problems whatsoever with drivers [07:25] tankpunk, nah, chose a 64bit... your hardware should be supported [07:25] it shows as 0 used, 0 free on the disk ...I assume I've made a coaster [07:25] realplayer raises an exception and I've to restart X each time to get it running ? [07:25] my main deal is with no great java support [07:26] tankpunk you can install java on 64 bit [07:26] is there any way to copy from firefox and paste into a terminal directly from the context menu on firefox? [07:26] tankpunk: The only things "missing" are native 64-bit Java and Flash plugins for browsers, and both of those are being worked on (Adobe has a 64-bit Flash in alpha, and Java 7 is expected to have a 64-bit plugin) [07:26] just not the firefox plugin [07:26] yes i have but its not fully compatible with everything web based like pogo [07:26] awesome [07:27] tankpunk you can however install a 32 bit version of your browser of choice with all of the java and flash plugins [07:27] ty 4 answers guys [07:27] tankpunk: I can't remember the last time I needed to run a Java applet, though [07:27] lol @ java applets [07:27] i need help understanding this ...... please use fuse-source to compile appropriate modules [07:27] i know this is ubuntu chan but has any1 heard of or tried abayon?

[07:28] yeah you can also install 32bit java specifically [07:28] drivers work fine in 64bit just running some apps can be tricky [07:28] hey [07:28] haiiiiiiiiii...........

[07:29] tiyowan, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_speech_recognition_software#Solutions [07:29] I'd never heard of sabayon [07:29] hai to all [07:29] mchelen, 2 gigs why? [07:29] As for non-free software, my 32-bit games (Quake 4, Doom 3) worked fine after installing nvidia-glx-ia32, VMware 32-bit worked fine and now has a native 64-bit version, etc. [07:29] tankpunk i am on 64 bit 8.10 and have the firefox flash and java plugins working perfect [07:29] tankpunk, if you have like 4+ gb sometimes you need 64bit os to use it all [07:30] i need help understanding this ...... please use fuse-source to compile appropriate modules [07:30] five u got pogo.com working?

[07:41] ahh yeah there is... hang on I'll find what it's called [07:41] rename? >_>;; [07:41] vegombrei: man mv [07:41] vegombrei: rename [07:41] though it's amazing how rename still has the wrong man page =| [07:41] vegombrei: You can do that from the shell, but if you want to get fancy, then maybe GNOME or Midnight Commander? :-) [07:41] it's not the perl rename that you use with 'rename' [07:42] atleast it doesn't function like it === maco_ is now known as maco [07:42] tiyowan: how do i do that from shell ? i assume it uses least processor that way right ? [07:43] vegombrei: type 'rename' and press enter. [07:43] vegombrei: Gnea <- [07:43] anyone here know much about using cryptsetup? the docs online aren't great [07:43] Gnea: dont i hafta give it a path or something ? [07:43] i'm trying to find out how to change the passphrase [07:44] wahts that resolution for a 15" screen? [07:44] and it's not clear to me whether i can do it without overwriting the drive [07:44] vegombrei: more explanation can be found by typing this: man rename [07:44] Gnea: thanks .. brb [07:44] vegombrei: Go a shell and type man rename, That'll give you the howtos. [07:44] vegombrei, thunar will do it in a guy for you, although it's a file manager as well as a bulk rename tool [07:45] guy = gui [07:45] UbuntuUser: If you type the make/model into google with the word spec or specs you might get lucky... [07:45] methanigai: hi [07:45] vegombrei, http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/bulk_renamer <-- the xfce file manager has bulk rename [07:46] Hmmm. Trying to play an xvid avi file. VLC doesn't show any video for it. Mplayer simply hangs. And Totem gives this error: GstDecodeBin: This appears to be a text file. Any ideas? [07:47] wrong codec? [07:47] tiyowan what is the ext [07:47] ok ty\ [07:47] !codec | tiyowan [07:47] tiyowan: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:47] five: avi [07:48] xvid ain't restricted though [07:48] DiploCat: he might have to install more codecs, nonetheless [07:48] idk avi works fine for me [07:48] but i have codecs [07:48] fair enough [07:48] tiyowan: I had similar issues with my newly installed interpid system. I solved it by installed drivers for my graphics card. After that it all worked fine [07:49] I've snagged the w32codecs and the non-restricted-extras as well. [07:50] whuffor: ATI flxgr drivers are installed. [07:51] tiyowan: Alright. That is what I installed, and it solved my issues. Then you have some other snaffu I guess [07:53] I'm not sure how chaotic this is. i'm not used to using chat clients. But I'm having difficulty playing a commercial DVD. [07:53] is a there a net installer cd for ubuntu? like the one in debian? [07:53] iminhell: Open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [07:54] nick, you can try the "wubi" installer [07:54] done that. Have tried all that every post I can find has told me to do. I don't think it is a codec issue. Something in the way of software confusion is my best guess. [07:55] iminhell: i'm not on windows, just curios that i can do a base install like debian, then install the otheers by hand [07:55] iminhell: Umm...I don't know much about this, but maybe it's some sort of region DVD or something? [07:56] iminhell, over the years, I've had a handful of DVD's that just didn't seem to cooperate... are you able to play others? [07:56] Hi all === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:57] no DVD will play, with any program or by loading the files manually. Video off the net (streaming or downloaded) will play fine. Confusing [07:58] iminhell, have you installed: libdvdread3 ? [07:59] iminhell: Hmm...have you *ever* played a DVD before on that system? As in maybe on another OS on that box?

[08:00] Vista plays mildly fine, for Vista, what a shit design that is. [08:01] iminhell: What drive is it? [08:01] iminhell, does it read Data DVD's? [08:01] i get spam from 30 differnt @verizon.net addys but mine is verizon can i filter so i only get the ones to: my addy ? [08:01] iminhell: Is it a new drive? [08:02] depends on your definition I guess. I can mount the drive and rear/run most files just not play a dvd [08:02] hmm, that is odd [08:02] iminhell: Is the drive new or old? [08:02] hi, how can i format hard drives on ubuntu? [08:03] K so what's all this then? [08:03] kurrata: gparted would be a good bet. [08:04] Drive model is a Lite On LH20A1L SATA. Last night I found a thread about some guys having issues with the PATA drives of the same model. Something about nopic fixed their issues. I tried that but did nothing, though when a dvd/cd is inserted it appears on the desktop right away, previously did not. [08:04] iminhell, try other media players (if you haven't already), otherwise sorry, not sure what else to offer... sounds like the drive is ok... must be a decryption / region thing... [08:04] iminhell: It's prolly a drive/region problem. I'm stuck with a pretty awful DVD combo drive as well. Philips. :( [08:05] tiyowan: gave me nice error messege when i tried to run it from consule error: libhal_acquire_global_interface_lock: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceAlreadyLocked: The interface org.freedeskdesktop.Hal.Device.Storage is already exclusively locked either by someone else or it's already locked by yourself [08:05] drive is set to region 1, dvd's are region 1 [08:05] iminhell, have you tried mplayer? (not that xine shouldn't work) [08:06] kurrata: Umm. What exactly are you trying to achieve? [08:06] hello world! [08:06] format my old hard drives [08:06] yup, dead in the water. [08:07] How do I apply a driver patch for a wireless card? [08:07] kurrata, stupid question... but are you trying to format the drive that the OS is on? [08:07] Here is my frustration in picture and text --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001560 [08:07] no xD [08:07] :) [08:07] not familiar [08:07] DiploCat: Hehehe. :) [08:08] kurrata: The error you're getting is when you're trying to format a particular hard drive? [08:09] iminhell, one of the few DVD's that never seemed to work for me was a West Wing disc that also had that crazy windows dvd software with the movie [08:09] no, when i tried to run gparted from console [08:10] I think that Windows DVD crap causes problems [08:10] But I've tried with stripped burnt movies and I still get nothing but an error. [08:10] what folder does crossover install windows apps to? [08:11] ugh i cannot for the life of me seem to get the adobe flash plugin installed correctly, i have downloaded the .deb from adobe, tried installing it both from CLI and the GUI, got the .tar.gz put the libflashplayer.so file into the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins dir and also used the utility it comes w/ to install it, no matter what i do i can't get the adobe flash player plugin to work or show up in about:plugins, any help? [08:11] five, in your home dir ~/.cxoffice/ [08:11] ok thnx DiploCat [08:11] dont know what i did but got it running [08:12] ocRob, synaptic and search for flashplugin-nonfree [08:12] hey [08:12] !dock [08:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about dock [08:13] kurrata: Hurrah. Be careful using that app, please. I wiped out my partition table; scared the heck out of me thinking that I'd lost 100 gigs of data. === DASPRiD|off is now known as DASPRiD === wolf_ is now known as nick|away [08:14] what is a good dock for ubuntu [08:15] Hey everyone... does anyone know of a way to get deskbar's functionality without having it in the top menu bar? [08:15] UbuntuUser: avant windows navigator? [08:15] UbuntuUser: Avant Window Navigator [08:15] I should clarify... I don' [08:16] !awn | UbuntuUser [08:16] UbuntuUser: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen.

[08:17] kurrate: Umm....ntfs is windows. [08:18] kurrate: If you want to work with ntfs, better to use some other tool. I use easus partitioning tools for ntfs. [08:18] i know so it can format only to ubuntu fylesystems? [08:18] Does anyone know of a way to get deskbar's funcitonality without having to have a panel on your desktop? [08:18] kurrata: Yep. [08:19] nevermind i can scan from media library i got it workin [08:19] davguar: can you run gnome-panel and delete all the panels? === maco is now known as Guest41133 [08:19] If I update my server and choose not to reboot into the new kernel, is there any risk that any programs might break because of that? === maco_ is now known as maco [08:19] How do I configure VSFTPD to use TLS auth? and have certain users be able to log in from internet?

[08:22] the path exist [08:22] but no file [08:22] U-b-u-n-t-u: does firefox have write access? [08:23] Hello, small thing i am wondering about with respect to backing up my home folder, will simply placing my entire backed up home folder allow all packages I now use to run without needing to reinstall the package (assuming the needed library's are installed) [08:23] ocRob: What seems to be the problem? [08:23] !backup [08:23] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [08:23] blind I am guessing not so maybe I should ask him to give it write access? [08:23] lol [08:23] him how [08:24] just check the permissions of the folder in nautilus or whatever your preferred file manager is [08:24] ok [08:24] if you have r/w without being root, then firefox should as well [08:25] no, backing up is the easy part, I gota formate this box for mantance and i want to know if I will have the hassle of reinstalling large numbers of program packages or will the backup of my home folder cover everything. [08:26] blind I didnt have r/w listed for me but I changed it to r/w [08:26] well then give it a whirl [08:26] Rolaulten: Just backing up your /home dir shouldn't back up the packages/system configurations. [08:26] blind same msg from firefox [08:26] thats what I was lookin for, thanks [08:26] Rolaulten: Home is just your data. The tweaks/packages/settings are in other directories. [08:27] Rolaulten: No problem. [08:28] I opened nautilus and click on a folder in my home dir and changed all my settings to allow r/w [08:28] but firefox+foxyproxy gave the same error [08:28] did I miss something? [08:29] How do I detect and delete corrupted files ? [08:29] hi [08:30] morning all [08:30] i'm on my laptop using cell modem at the IHOP [08:30] odonil !fsck [08:31] Ubottu: No factoid on fsck? Hmm... [08:31] Hi there. I have Samsung R560 (CPU: P8400, 4GB DD3Ram, NVidia GFm 9600) Notebook, i've installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and like you have heard 1000times my ACPI isnt working, anyone got a solution [08:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:31] odonil: You need to use the fsck utility. [08:31] How mutsh network resources does UbuntuLTSP need for eatch klient [08:32] why does my pc speaker beep every letter i type how do i shut that off ? [08:32] tiyowan: I want to check the normal files with the extension .txt, .pdf and delete if corrupted. Will fsck help ? [08:32] Sinister: PC speaker or mobo speaker? [08:32] Hi there. I have Samsung R560 (CPU: P8400, 4GB DD3Ram, NVidia GFm 9600) Notebook, i've installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and like you have heard 1000times my ACPI isnt working, anyone got a solution [08:33] what are "devel files"? [08:33] yeah, you said that [08:33] odonil: fsck's a filesystem checker really. Don't know whether it checks the integrity of txt/pdf files and the like, so. [08:34] i have a problem.. [08:34] odonil: Are you getting any errors or anything? If not, then I don't think there should be anything wrong. [08:35] I have Ubuntu 8.10 and its got a nvidia control panel as well but it doesnt show the mode 1440x900 on my laptop that windows vista does. Should I manually add it to xorg.conf [08:35] tiyowan: I have like a bunch of files, and hierarchical directory structure also having files. So i wanted to check and delete the corrupted once. [08:35] Hello, I'm trying to install the JeOS version of ubuntu in VMWare Workstation, on a Pentium M laptop. Apparently I don't have PAE available, and according to forum posts that means I should use the generic, rather than server, kernel. How do I go about doing that? [08:35] when ubuntu starts to boot it says sometthing like unable to find /etc/init.d/rc [08:35] anyone knows what the chatroom for evolution is? [08:35] i tried to do fsck while the disk is mounted.. [08:35] odonil: fsck's the only filesystem checker I know of. So. [08:36] EgYPaRaDoX: Not a good idea, generally. [08:36] tiyowan: ok [08:36] yeah i know.. [08:36] but what should i do aout the /etc/init.d/rc [08:36] ubuntu doesnt load [08:36] EgYPaRaDoX: That's a fried kernel you've got there. [08:37] i tried booting with an old kernel it didnt work.. [08:37] QUIT [08:37] older kernel i mean.. [08:37] EgYPaRaDoX: Yeah, it won't. Ok, do you find yourself at a grub> prompt? [08:38] motherboard speaker [08:38] ummm.. [08:39] yes i think so.. [08:39] but i can load other operating systems through grub boot loader.. [08:39] EgYPaRaDoX: sure [08:39] Hi there. I have Samsung R560 (CPU: P8400, 4GB DD3Ram, NVidia GFm 9600) Notebook, i've installed Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and like you have heard 1000times my ACPI isnt working, anyone got a solution [08:39] so what should i do? [08:40] i hav ubuntu hardy heron.. [08:40] how do i install software with crossover thats not in the list? [08:40] EgYPaRaDoX: Ok. Here's how you fix this. Run Ubuntu off the LiveCD, unmount any partitions it if the LiveCD automatically mounts anything, *then* run fsck against the Ubuntu installed on your hard disk. Should fix it. [08:40] i had slax i ran fsck with it... [08:40] it found many errors.. === oshin01 is now known as oshin [08:40] it corrected it automatically.. [08:40] then i restarted...same errors.. [08:41] i mean it didnt load.. [08:41] Sinister: I have a fix. It'll turn off your mobo speaker. That what you want right? [08:41] t9 where are you [08:41] someone can tell me the neme of ubuntu eee? [08:42] maybe the file system is very damaged that it couldnt be corrected i dont know.. [08:42] i mean the errors.. couldnt be corrected.. [08:42] does any one know how to add ssh keys to the authrized_keys file? [08:43] EgYPaRaDoX: My advice. Boot off a LiveCD, mount the partition where your /home is. Copy over any data. And wipe out the install on your hard disc. [08:43] how can I get my players to be able to play real media files? [08:44] does any one know how to add ssh keys to the authrized_keys file? [08:44] EgYPaRaDoX: Because the error you're getting at boot means that GRUB cannot find any of the kernel files. [08:44] PeoplesAdvocate: copy your .ssh/id_rsa.pub to the machine you want to connect to, then cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys [08:44] is there a grub fixer or something? [08:44] PeoplesAdvocate, ssh-copy-id [08:44] i dont hav the live cd...and my internet is very slow... [08:45] PeoplesAdvocate: or you could just do: ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@host [08:45] ill hav to ask others i guess.. [08:45] EgYPaRaDoX: There is, but the problem isn't with GRUB. The problem is that the *core* of your operating system is kaput. [08:45] thanks very much. [08:45] i guess ill hav to backup .. [08:46] theres also another problem...firefox wouldnt work...all the previous entered websites wouldnt appear...on other users it would work.. [08:46] I need some help with Pulse audio on Intrepid, I just recently upgraded from Hardy, and when I change the volume in pavucontrol the sound cuts out completely until I move the slider back to where it was. I'm using Fluxbox by the way. [08:47] EgYPaRaDoX: First things first. Get your OS back online. [08:47] does anyone know anything about patching wireless drivers? [08:47] I even tried getting VLC player, but still a no go for .rm media files. Any suggestions? [08:47] i want to know the problem....if i get it back online it would work.. [08:47] i just want to avoid the other problem.. [08:47] !multimedia [08:47] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically.

[09:03] cause i have seen often ppl using a cdrom to read a dvd and it does the same thing as you getting [09:03] mchelen: okay then what? [09:04] davguar, what does it say, does it properly detect the media? [09:04] pro, that's correct. The disc mounts in Ubuntu just fine. However, no media players I have tried seem work, even after installing the restricted extras package for Ubuntu. [09:04] BlackAeronaut, try vlc [09:04] BlackAeronaut, ummm, try use mplayer to play the vob file and see what it does?

Wait one... [09:07] hey guys anyone knows where i can get information about the "rc" file in the etc/init.d file? [09:07] ohletmeinnowgodd, what info you need? [09:07] ORLY [09:07] mchelen: in the main window it shows the folder that I want to burn to disk under the files menu and next to the burn button it has a bar that shows 3.3/4.3GiB so I assume that means there is enough room [09:07] mchelen: I don't see a way to alter the type of image? [09:07] pro: basically what all those loops are doing [09:08] looping [09:08] davguar, oh ok so you are doing a data project right? [09:09] mchelen: That's what I'm aiming for... I have a folder with a tonne of e-books and I want to burn them [09:09] ohletmeinnowgodd, and the comments dont explain them? [09:09] how can I upgradez my kernel?

[09:20] pro: the box won't bootz now [09:20] I think it only works with some devices, since the size of every device is different, it's probably just running into a wall and dying [09:21] Rods_Tiger: documentation is subject to upgrading as well ;) [09:21] Hi, is there a program that converts from pdf to chm?

[10:08] deat1: boot your windows cd and use fixmbr? [10:08] Howdy folks. Having troubles getting DVDs to play in MPlayer. I got error messages from terminal. [10:08] godsyn - install was from windows.. [10:08] davguar, you could also do an updatedb and then locate [10:08] aussiejoe: and it boots into gnome desktop? (pretty grafics?)

[10:12] aussiejoe, What version of Ubuntu? [10:13] portablejim - what's the linux equivalent to the "ver" command? [10:14] Hi, what's a quick way to stress my cpu? [10:14] tiyowan... been there, unlocked access, then I can add a user [10:14] tiyowan: thank you! (aussiejoe, I have reason to believe that that "user" is fubar, lets try creating another to see if the issue persists.) (ver is uname -a) [10:14] Can someone help me?

[10:15] aussiejoe: Yep, you just click the Unlock button, enter your p/w, click Authenticate, and then click on the Add User button. [10:15] tuntun: "while true; do true;done" you'll need to press Ctrl-C to stop it [10:16] godsyn: I gotcha now, is vlc though and not vvv. It has stalled here ---> http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d120/iminhell/Screenshot-2-1.png tried a few times and it just sits there ... ? [10:16] tiyowan - okay - created a new user with admin priv... Do I need to do anything else before logging in as that user? [10:16] is there some way i can apply chmod 0757 to all files in a folder which are already locked? [10:16] BlackAeronaut: go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste in the errors. then paste the resulting URL here [10:17] Thanks. [10:17] aussiejoe: shouldn't need to. [10:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/84279/ [10:17] aussiejoe: That should do the trick. [10:17] trying now :D [10:17] BlackAeronaut: have you installed the restricted extras? [10:18] ushimitsudoki, That I have. [10:18] BlackAeronaut: and have you tried more than 1 DVD? [10:18] Does anyone know how to go through a file that contains a list of file names and delete them all? [10:18] ushimitsudoki, Yes, and I get the same results. [10:18] iminhell: vlc provide any insight? [10:18] I want to partition my laptop to try other distros would using fdisk to create a new partition and then installing a distro on that partition scew with grub ? === krishna_ is now known as pal_ [10:19] davguar, with xargs [10:19] C0nn0R: gparted would be MUCH easier. [10:19] C0nn0R: you could try virtualbox if you want to try out other distros... just a suggestion [10:19] damn [10:19] Okay. [10:19] still no access [10:20] my buddy has the intel graphics media accelerator x3100 358 mb. he wonder where to get a driver for that [10:20] can anyone help? [10:20] * tiyowan agrees with godsyn wholeheartedly. [10:20] davguar: while read file; do rm $file; < filename [10:20] stdin, yeah that seems to raise my cpu temp from 40C to 50C, funny that in sysmon the two cores alternate between 100%/~5% load every few seconds. [10:20] aussiejoe: that is very odd. [10:20] ushimitsudoki, it wouldn't happen to have anything to do with my machine? It's a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4011. [10:20] i want tu be root ,bu i don't know how ...i need help [10:20] stdin, davguar, use double quotes [10:21] checked user "root" and it has no privileges.. problem? [10:21] stdin, davguar, use double quotes like this "$file" [10:21] how do i need to format pendrive in linux [10:21] BlackAeronaut: I don't know. That's not a very helpful error message :( [10:21] aussiejoe: user "root" should be diabled. [10:21] ushimitsudoki, you're telling me? I'm just trying to migrate from Windows. :p [10:22] aussiejoe: ls -ld ~ again fo me. [10:22] godysn: It's a desktop install? *cough* [10:22] stdin, allsystemsarego: so if the file containing the list of paths is called templist the command would go : while read file; do rm "$file"; < templist ??? [10:23] BlackAeronaut: hold on let me pull out a DVD and see what happens when i call mplayer on a VOB directly like that. [10:23] tiyowan: yes [10:23] ushimitsudoki, Cool, thanks. [10:23] davguar: actually it's: while read file; do rm "$file";done < templist [10:24] tiyowan: if you know something I don't, by all means, help `em out. I'm not selfish :) [10:24] drwxr-xr-x 25 timmah timmah 4096 2008-12-12 19:22 /home/timmah [10:24] morning people [10:24] pal_, with gparted!

[10:25] !gksudo [10:25] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [10:25] godsyn: vlc comes up with errors cracking css, trying a burned/stripped dvd now [10:25] tankpunk, me! [10:26] if i'm reading http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/base/linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic correctly, is 2.6.27-9 the version of the kernel that comes with ubuntu?

[10:28] i am having trouble entering the off topic channel... it sends me to fix ur connection... what am i doing wrong ? [10:29] aussiejoe: you have write access :) [10:29] whoops ... /home/timmah/test [10:29] BlackAeronaut: ok. you have to call mplayer like so: "mplayer dvd:// DVDDEVICE" where you can get DVDDEVICE by looking at "dmesg | grep -i dvd"... for example on my system: "mplayer dvd:// sr0" [10:29] can i use compiz with kde-4 on ubuntu 8.04? [10:29] godsyn cool.. I thought that was denied before :P [10:29] BlackAeronaut: if i try to call mplayer against the VOB i get the same "seek failed" [10:29] zimnyx: i don't think you normally can [10:29] godsyn - I still can't mkdir though [10:29] ushimitsudoki, Right. Wait one while I make that happen. [10:30] aussiejoe: mkdir where? what is the command you are trying? [10:30] timmah@ubuntu:/$ mkdir Perl [10:30] mkdir: cannot create directory `Perl': Permission denied [10:30] aussiejoe: why are you trying to make Perl in /? [10:30] use 'sudo' command [10:30] !wireless [10:30] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:31] aussiejoe: no. bad aussiejoe. cd ~ (home) and THEN mkdir Perl. [10:31] raylu: - i'm trying it anywhere [10:31] * tiyowan grins. [10:31] ushimitsudoki, I entered the command, dmesg | grep -i dvd into terminal and I got nothing. [10:31] aussiejoe: if you want to test permissions, i'd recommend touch. and randomly making stuff all over the place is in no way a good idea [10:31] timmah@ubuntu:/home$ mkdir Perl [10:31] can anyone tell me what version of the kernel comes with ubuntu? [10:32] mkdir: cannot create directory `Perl': Permission denied [10:32] BlackAeronaut, you need to be root [10:32] aussiejoe: this is expected behavior; why are you trying that? [10:32] aussiejoe: "cd ~" [10:32] BlackAeronaut, sudo dmesg ... [10:32] godsyn: "cd" = "cd ~" [10:32] gi zay [10:32] ushimitsudoki, Right. Wait one... [10:32] BlackAeronaut: usually /dev/dvd is a symlink to the actual drive. ex: on my system /dev/dvd -> scd0 [10:32] exit [10:32] raylu 8.10 comes with 2.6.27-7 [10:32] raylu: linux 2.6.27-9 on intrepid [10:33] o.0? [10:33] ER 9 I GUESS [10:33] i see both -7 and -9 in the package list [10:33] ushimitsudoki, No dice. [10:33] which brings me to the point, is it really necessary to upgrade the kernel everytime there is a minor revision? [10:33] allsystemsarego: BlackAeronaut: sudo dmesg should not make a difference [10:33] raylu, godsyn - Why was that expected? [10:33] raylu: Both are there. I remembered my GRUB menu. :;-) [10:34] aussiejoe: because normal users shouldn't be able to create much of anything outside their home directories [10:34] raylu, godsyn - also, thanks :) Why does the tilde directory allow me to mkdir? [10:34] BlackAeronaut: if you do not have a /dev/dvd, then you need to find your actual /dev. Again, on my system it is scd0. yours is prob something similar [10:34] raylu: you think or know? [10:34] ushimitsudoki, I'm not too clear on what's going on. It should have worked the first time anyhow because I'm running in root. [10:34] ocRob: that's a tough question and depends on preference and your needs [10:34] hi, is there a way to find out the encryption algorithm in use for a wireless connection? [10:34] zimnyx: about what? [10:34] i'd prefer not to, guess i need to look into which repository i need edit/take out [10:34] BlackAeronaut: ? how is that? [10:35] ushimitsudoki, Looking at my file systems in my system monitor now. It's dev/scd0. [10:35] major kernel upgrades, sure minor revisions, no [10:35] raylu: - is '~' the root? [10:35] bamball: Yes. [10:35] BlackAeronaut, open vlc and choose File - open disc [10:35] BlackAeronaut: in that case: mplayer dvd:// scd0 [10:35] ocRob: you can not use dist-upgrade [10:35] tiyowan: how? command line will be great [10:35] aussiejoe: no, it's $HOME [10:35] raylu: alright thanks [10:35] aussiejoe: no. you won't (ever?) have the need to write to root. that is your home diretory, where all your personal files go. [10:36] i just iknstalled 8.10 from cd, upgrading from 8.04, now its already going from -7 to -9 which probably isnt necessary [10:36] what does moving to the '~' directory do for me? [10:36] ushimitsudoki, Well, it's doing something... [10:37] aussiejoe: it puts you in your home directory, where you should be putting all your files [10:37] bamball. Um. The network manager just tells you what encryption a found network is using when it asks for the key. I only use the CLI on Backtrack 3. Use a package called Kismet. [10:37] BlackAeronaut: allsystemsarego makes a good point, tho. Are you wanting mplayer playback for a specific reason? Totem or VLC are easier to use. [10:37] aussiejoe: it places you in hour home directory (for the current user). the current user has read/write access there. [10:37] tiyowan: any idea why the standard iwconfig doesn't report this?? [10:37] *hour your [10:37] raylu, godsyn if you guys need any ADSL help just let me know :P [10:37] ushimitsudoki, Totem doesn't work either. Nor does Kaffien. [10:38] BlackAeronaut: ah [10:38] Doubt VLC will too. [10:38] bamball: iwlist scan might [10:38] hi, i wanted to play GNUbik but i get a "** ERROR **: Cannot get a suitable visual" [10:38] ushimitsudoki: one could say that about windows... [10:38] bomball: iwconfig just lists your wireless interface details. [10:38] BlackAeronaut, VLC uses all it's own decoders [10:39] raylu: they would be wrong. but they could say that, sure [10:39] aussiejoe: http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/tutorials/linuxdirectorystructure/ [10:39] spartanii117: I'll try it out. [10:40] ushimitsudoki, here's what I get back in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84286/ [10:40] godsyn: That reminds me, what's lost+found for? Orphaned files? Are they auto-recovered or something? [10:40] raylu: it does !!! thanks :) [10:40] ushimitsudoki, it just hangs at that last line. [10:40] Hi, I need a some help, please. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 installation CD yesterday and installed it successfully on my machine (which I am currently on). Now I am trying to install the same CD on my other (older) Computer. After booting from CD, I choose my Keyboard Layout, then choose "Install Ubuntu". The Screen then goes black and comes back with the ubuntu wallpaper and a mouse-pointer, but nothing else. I also tried to choose in opt [10:40] tiyowan: I've never used it or had any files appear within.. [10:40] hrm. debian isn't quite cutting it on my system (either no wireless on my ipw5000 which only appears in 2.6.27 or no nvidia which is only packaged for 2.6.26). i might switch to ubuntu [10:41] tiyowan: in theory your assumption is correct.. but it hasn't happened to me personally. [10:41] godsyn: Right, thx. [10:41] how could i easily upgrade kernel for hardy heron? [10:41] webas, to what kernel? [10:41] tiyowan: it's actually an ext thing. but i've never seen anything there either [10:41] afk [10:42] at least to 2.6.27 or newer jim_p [10:42] could anyone tell me how to get mythtv off my system? [10:42] BlackAeronaut: the next lines should give the file format and resolution information. I can only think of two things: 1. you don't have the right codecs installed or 2. the dvd is not encoded correctly. Neither one makes sense because you said you've installed the codecs and tried multiple DVDs. [10:42] webas: are you using synaptic/apt-get/aptitude? [10:42] im on 2.4.24-22generic now [10:42] rookeeeeeeeee: are you using synaptic/apt-get/aptitude? [10:43] any of the above [10:43] i have synaptic and i can try with apt-get but i really dont know what to write to get it with all necesary things [10:43] ushimitsudoki, Unless both discs are screwed up. Kinda doubt it since it seems to play njust fine in Stand Alone DVD Players and in Windows Media Player. [10:43] webas, if you have the patience to compile it and make a .deb package on your own, yes [10:43] rookeeeeeeeee: aptitude remove mythtv [10:43] BlackAeronaut, do you have libdvdcss on your system? [10:43] webas, else... i can pm you the answer [10:43] Just install VLC. Gonna try it now. [10:44] find . -type f | grep .lit | xargs -0 echo > templist [10:44] allsystemsarego: pretty sure. how do I check?

[10:48] !hcl oppo27 [10:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about hcl oppo27 [10:48] !hcl | oppo27 [10:48] oppo27: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:48] where can i find a info on compatible graphic cards and that stuff [10:49] ??? ????????????? [10:49] ok [10:49] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport looks like what i'm looking for [10:49] thanks [10:49] oppo27 i suggest IBM (lenovo) computers, not usually alltogether pretty, but powerful and linux certfied === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [10:50] oppo27: np. :--) Dell comes preloaded with linux as well if you're interested. [10:50] btw, i'm looking for a desktop [10:50] spartanii117: i'm on an ideapad y530 and i wouldn't recommend it :P [10:50] oppo27: build it! === soneil is now known as shauno [10:50] if i run bluetooth on a vmware XP guest on a Ubuntu Host could I play music on my bluetooth headset which is not compatible with ubuntu? [10:50] oppo27, same suggestion [10:50] BlackAeronaut, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [10:50] oppo27: Yeah, that's best actually. DIY. [10:50] www.newegg.com www.mwave.com are good sites to buy hardware from [10:51] allsystemsarego: okay, wait one... [10:51] How can i help some one who doesn't have a internet connection to get Mp3 Codes support? [10:51] in UBUNTU [10:51] hishamnajam: can you transfer files to him/her? [10:52] i think i prefer to buy an already built one. I just want to be sure that i will have no problems runnig linux [10:52] To anyone: if i run bluetooth on a vmware XP guest on a Ubuntu Host could I play music on my bluetooth headset which is not compatible with ubuntu? [10:53] YES [10:53] oppo27: Check the hardware compatibility lists for supported hardware. Getting Win and Linux to exist together isn't a problem. Getting all your hardware to work can sometimes be a little tricky. Better to research first. Helps save time later. [10:53] rookeeeeeeeee, yeah i think so, virtualbox might work too [10:53] allsystemsarego: I'm just waiting on the synaptic to finish up with the medibuntu stuff, then I'll go for the libdvdcss2 [10:53] yes [10:53] raylu: Yes thru USB drive [10:53] hishamnajam: what version of ubuntu are they? [10:53] any specific suggestion gor the graphic card? [10:54] raylu: 8.04 ,8.10 [10:54] oppo27: what is it for? [10:54] hishamnajam: er...he/she has two versions installed? [10:54] general use [10:54] just a desktop for my home [10:54] oppo27: intel cards generally work out of the box [10:54] raylu: nops let it be 8.04 [10:55] raylu: ok [10:55] allsystemsarego: Okay, all done, though the last line after getting libdvdcss2 was "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place". What does that mean? [10:55] hishamnajam: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxine1-ffmpeg [10:55] raylu: actually i tried to give compile lib - xine but the dependencies killls [10:56] BlackAeronaut, that's expected behaviour [10:56] hishamnajam: you'll have to download the dependencies manually :P [10:56] BlackAeronaut, it's normal, happens nearly i install anything large [10:56] allsystemsarego: Okay. Well, VLC still doesn't work. Trying Totem. [10:56] raylu: ok but how to know about the dependiencies ??? [10:57] BlackAeronaut, it means it's going to do unessential stuff in the background [10:57] hishamnajam: what about them? [10:57] allsystemsarego: GOtcha. [10:57] BlackAeronaut, restart vlc [10:57] allsystemsarego: Totem's working. ^_^ [10:57] raylu: Where to see what r the dependencies??????????/ [10:58] allsystemsarego: VLC still doesn't for some peculiar reason. [10:58] allsystemsarego: Trying Mplayer now... [10:59] raylu: welll i got it its all mentioned in the http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ [10:59] raylu: well thanks buddy [10:59] allsystemsarego: Mplayer works! [10:59] I downloaded a patch to the gspca driver that refuses to compile in 8.10. The only problem is that the website that provided the patch didn't come with instructions. Should I place the patch in a specific folder? [10:59] BlackAeronaut, cool, have fun then! [10:59] BlackAeronaut: that, too, is expected behavior :D [10:59] allsystemsarego: Thanks plenty! [11:00] raylu: HAH! [11:00] raylu: when i recommend Ubuntu to people they usually complain about Mp3 support [11:00] hishamnajam, vlc works fine install with apt-get [11:00] Good night, all! [11:00] hishamnajam: when ubuntu hears about mp3 it complains about it too. the feeling is mutual :D [11:00] mchelen: no network [11:00] raylu: and things get worse when internet is down [11:00] raylu, well that is not ubuntus fault :D [11:00] mchelen: and using vlc should always be a last resort [11:00] raylu, why? vlc is great [11:01] mchelen: no, it's horrible [11:01] mchelen: it barely manages to get everything working in the least elegant way [11:01] raylu: right for VLC [11:01] mchelen: there's a better solution for just about every format [11:01] raylu, ok well i have never had any problems, its one of the first things i install [11:01] raylu, maybe for you, for me it is perfect :) [11:01] mchelen: also, i have yet to find support for ass subtitles [11:01] which is sort of a deal-breaker for me [11:02] raylu, ok, well that is a sort of particular feature [11:02] mchelen: well buddy try to get the codecs that makes u feeel better using Totem [11:02] raylu, it will at least play pretty much any video file thrown at it though [11:02] hishamnajam, why bother when vlc works fine? [11:03] mchelen: VLC iu sucks [11:03] mchelen: again, inelegantly. as stated previously, it uses its own decoders [11:03] if you prefer totem or something that is fine too [11:03] raylu, i care alot more about whether it works or not, thats just my priority [11:04] mchelen : ui of VLC is poor [11:04] hishamnajam, what makes you say that? [11:04] it is not poor [11:04] mchelen: why are you on linux again? [11:04] hishamnajam, i like it, its easy for my usage [11:04] mchelen: VLC is great if u use windows [11:04] it is. it's graphical :P [11:04] raylu, because it works! [11:04] mchelen: have you tried os x/windows yet? [11:04] hishamnajam, vlc is great if you use ubuntu :P [11:04] mchelen: in ubuntu you have a great deal of Video Players [11:05] raylu, why are you some kind of windows fan? [11:05] hishamnajam, of course, use whatever you like... i like vlc :D [11:05] mchelen: no. but i feel that if you're going to use windows, you've adopted the mentality that "it works" isn't good enough [11:05] you're among the people that don't live in a cave and go "it works." [11:05] Hi. after upgrading to intrepid, windows don't seem to get focus after alt-tab. I've seen it reported several places, and blame har been put on gnome, nvidia, firefox, hardy, intrepid, compiz, etc. Now, while those things (firefox in particular) might affect this for me, they don't seem to be required. Does anybody know anything about this and what might be the cause? [11:05] mac users can go and believe that "it just works" [11:05] raylu, linux works well, thats why i use it, same goes for vlc [11:06] I have an fstab here which for some reason mounts a 500 MB partition under /swap as filesystem ext3. Now it is my understanding that swap should be mounted under none as type swap. I don't know how this came to be (not my box), but it's supposed to be real swap. === kalman_ is now known as Kalman [11:06] raylu: cam down man................................ VLC rocks, Totem Rocks, Actually OSS rocks [11:06] Should I just change it or has something changed in the way ubuntu handles swap? [11:06] MacGyverNL_: /swap? [11:06] raylu: As I said, not my install. [11:06] MacGyverNL_: could you show us the fstab? [11:07] MacGyverNL_: and no. though i haven't used it recently, i highly doubt ubuntu would start mounting swap that way [11:07] Not literally, but the format is: [11:07] hey guys , how do i automatically mount drives during startup? [11:07] raylu, if you ever have the misfortune to use windows you will see it does not work as reliably as linux does :) [11:07] MacGyverNL_: it sounds like it's just a partition somebody has chosen to call "swap" and mount it there [11:07] mchelen: i use it all the time for gaming [11:07] Okay you video mavens. Here's one for you. I've got an Xvid avi file here. VLC video's greyed out when it plays it. mplayer just crashes. And totem says that it appears to be a text file. Ideas? :-) [11:07] lol [11:07] mchelen: buddy which movies u r watching :P [11:07] UUID= /swap ext3 defaults 0 2 [11:07] ohletmeinnowgodd: what kind of drives? in general, fstab [11:08] Yeah, but he told me it's supposed to be swap. [11:08] So something or someone screwed up ;P [11:08] !fstab | ohletmeinnowgodd [11:08] ohletmeinnowgodd: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [11:08] tiyowan: it are brokened. [11:08] Well, I'll change it. [11:08] Thanks. [11:08] raylu, suit yourself, however my preference is the stability of linux [11:08] MacGyverNL_: may want to check fdisk -l and /dev/disk/by-uuid before changing to verify that it's swap [11:08] hishamnajam, all sorts :) [11:09] MacGyverNL_: set up a partition as swap (not ext3) and write something like ' none swap sw 0 0' in fstab [11:09] mchelen: buddy give me a torrent link for the new 007 :P [11:09] ubottu: thnx [11:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about thnx [11:09] oh [11:09] lol [11:09] MacGyverNL_: swapon / swapoff are practical [11:09] its a bot [11:09] ohletmeinnowgodd, you can use the disk manager gui if you dont want to edit fstab by hand [11:09] raylu: Ok, I'll boot into Winland to +check. [11:09] mchlen, you sound like a belgium city hehe [11:09] mchelen, yeah [11:10] What's the command to display the currently running processes? [11:10] ps [11:10] Omar87, top [11:10] oh [11:10] well, either works [11:10] Omar87, ps -ef [11:10] mchelen: yeah but ill give the hand editing a go [11:11] ohletmeinnowgodd, thats cool it will help you learn more [11:11] hi All, to day i've installed intrepid on desktop all works fine until the apt-get update - upgrade process, now i'm not able to connect to the web, have you any suggestion on how to debug these problem ? [11:12] epifanio: what got upgraded? [11:12] epifanio, try "dhclient eth0" as root [11:13] I'm running XFE and I've accidentally hit something and now I have no toolbars. Everything runs fine but no toolbars top or bottom. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm sure it's just a hotkey I hit on accident [11:13] vastlee: you can restart them with "xfce4-panel" if you mean panels instead of toolbars [11:14] How would I go about opening that if I don't have any toolbars to click on? [11:14] vastlee: ALT-F2 [11:14] Thanks bro [11:14] vastlee: np [11:14] hey there [11:15] * raylu <3s unetbootin [11:15] * Kelen Going to Delete XP [11:15] Hi, sorry for disturbing, I 'm at the moment Windows user, I would like to switch to Ubuntu(Kubuntu or Mint actually, but Ubuntu is good as well) the problem is that I can't get it installed on my Acer Deskop(Aspire M3641), I searched the forums and I was able to install after that(with an acpi=off option at boot), but the point is none of my USB at the frond of my computer work, I cant 't install the wifi driver(I haven't a clue which 'driver', I think Ralin [11:15] k 2500, I have a Sitcom Wireless USBstick)..Do you have any clue how I can fix this? This is a screenshot of my hardware in windows(it's in Dutch, sorry about that):http://img360.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot001iy5.jpg === skylarS is now known as biouser [11:17] hi all, how to you clear and restart a upgrad from 8.04 to 8.10 [11:17] How can the length of the scrollback be increased in xchat gnome? [11:17] allsystemsarego: i done the command, these the resutls (i manually copied it) : http://rafb.net/p/dlpCJV14.html [11:17] my kernel panicked downloading packets [11:18] omg lol, the mount manual is 1000+ lines [11:18] ohletmeinnowgodd: that means it is well documented :P [11:19] Hi, my brother do this on this computer : [11:19] sudo aptitude remove libasound2-plugins [11:19] and can't start ubuntu anymore. How do he can solve this ? [11:19] epifanio, does "ifconfig" show anything? [11:19] wellcome [11:20] said [11:20] lyhana8: would suggest booting to command line and reinstall it [11:20] lyhana8: start some linux boot cd, chroot to your damaged installation and do "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [11:21] Does making ur USb drive bootable damages it?? [11:22] hishamnajam: it will not damage the hardware but might overwrite any existing data on the stick. [11:22] anyone? [11:22] hishamnajam: what could well be one of the most stupid things I've ever heard [11:22] my computer crashed downloading packages for 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade, how to I clean it up and restart the upgrade? [11:22] what package would i need to install to get mkfs.fat [11:22] hishamnajam: actually I take that back. [11:22] Can we change the file system on the USB drive ??? its default FAT32 [11:23] raylu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [11:23] does the "sd" in /dev/sdxxx stand for scsi device? [11:23] ohletmeinnowgodd: yes. but it's a bit of a red herring. the scsi subsystem is used for a many devices that are not actually scsi [11:23] hishamnajam: Sure, you can use any filesystem you like [11:23] hishamnajam: you cannot /change/ a filesystem from one type to another [11:23] hishamnajam: you can create a new filesystem and overwrite the old one [11:24] recon69: if it didnt crash during package upgrade but during download of the packages, then there was no harm done [11:24] ne2k__: thanks [11:24] icewaterman: except that now it wont update [11:24] recon69: is your line fast= [11:24] I'm struggling with ldap on intrepid... any experts here ? [11:24] Recon69: icewaterman thanks. [11:24] raylu: off the top of my head, I think it might be dosfsutils. but you can search there [11:25] recon69: if it is do "sudo apt-get clean" [11:25] you will have to re-download all the packages again, but with a fast line it should be done in a matter of minutes [11:25] allsystemsarego: i copied the resutls here http://rafb.net/p/0K2mx869.html [11:25] icewaterman: sometimes it's fast sometimes it's not, the reason I'm upgrading it to try fix a network bug that causes my system to crash, this is my last attempt before getting a gentoo CD [11:25] ne2k__: yeah, that was it [11:26] ne2k___: i think ext2 and ext3 can be changed [11:26] recon69: good luck with gentoo :) [11:26] I have a PIII 800 Mhz 128+256MB RAM which flavor of ubuntu will work smoothly??? [11:26] i used it for years, until i didnt have enough time to maintain it === gcolley is now known as GColley [11:26] hishamnajam: you mean with 384mb ram? => xubuntu [11:26] hishamnajam: that's because they're not actually different filesystem types -- ext3 is a set of extensions to ext2 [11:27] epifanio, are you using a wired connection? or wireless? === Knightlust is now known as Igorot [11:27] allsystemsarego: i've both [11:27] i've a cble connected to the eth [11:27] icewaterman: cant be more annoying that the last 6 months I'v had with ubuntu unfortunately, if i dont like gentoo I'll try somthing else [11:27] but the lite are off [11:27] *light [11:28] epifanio, ok, run "ifup eth0" as root [11:28] recon69: well lets just say instead of 20 seconds a regular upgrade will take you hours [11:28] icewaterman : xubuntu is what i am using that means i made the correct choice :) [11:28] allsystemsarego: give me : Ignoring unknown device eth0=eth0 [11:29] thx for nothing guys [11:29] hishamnajam: ubuntu and kubuntu are not recommended with < 512MB ram and i do not recommend them with < 768MB-1GB [11:29] icewaterman: was happy with 6.06 for 3 years , I dont ask a lot from a system other that it be stable, and ubuntu has not been stable for me since I upgraded to 8.04 and start using wireless [11:29] icewaterman: good [11:30] epifanio, I don't kow what to recommend, except restart Ubuntu and run "ifconfig" again, see if eth0 shows up [11:30] How do I know if libdvdcss is really working? [11:30] recon69: if the problem is with wireless, then you will likely experience the same issue with any linux distribution [11:30] ok rebooting [11:30] You'd think it should be able to easily crack a dvd from 1997 wouldn't you? [11:30] iminhell, try to play a comercial dvd?

[11:33] epifanio, run "lspci | grep -i ethernet" === gcolley is now known as GColley [11:33] icewaterman:well, then it's back to the evil empire unfortunately , had 5 kernel crashes yesterday and a half working internet connection , just not worth the aggravation. hoping a newer kernel will fix my problem [11:34] recon69: well your choice. [11:35] epifanio, run "lspci | grep -i ethernet", what does it say? [11:35] need help, is there somebody know why plugins flash player not working? [11:35] icewaterman: true. but currently ubuntu is not an option, which is unfortunate because I really like it [11:35] allsystemsarego: gived me : 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) [11:36] epifanio, do you have physical connectivity between PC and router?

You run Twinview on one pair of monitors and a separate X session on the 3rd monitor. You can run Xinerama across all 3, but not with compositing, and the performance is poor. There isn't a Twinview across all 3 monitors yet. (Quadra cards have this feature though) [12:11] flink12: that was on how to play your media streams, btw... but you won't know until you try or you figure out what exactly the media center thing streams [12:11] mchelen: thanks for prompting me to to look in my config files :P ~/.purple/prefs.xml is what I needed to look in [12:12] can someone experienced with linux spread some light on my freezing system problems using 8.04.1 hardy on a m1530 dell xps?

[12:13] flink12, but over witch protocol ? [12:14] ohletmeinnowgodd, let Ubuntu mount it automatically, then run the mount command to pits brain [12:14] manlymat_83, this ubuntu 8.10 is really screwed up [12:14] to pits brain? [12:14] ohletmeinnowgodd, *pick its brain [12:14] when is the next upgrade coming? [12:15] allsystemsarego: i dont get you [12:15] ZeroA4: Lets just go with mythtv or maybe vlc will probably work... Its likely one of these microsoft media player oriented things :P [12:15] Filsuf April 2009 [12:15] ZeroA4: I dont think we'll ever get the other info. :) [12:15] filsuf, further discussion in #ubuntu+1 [12:15] ohletmeinnowgodd, what is the result of the mount command now? [12:16] Radtoo, yeah... the site does not say a word about protocols [12:16] hi [12:16] ushimitsudoki, so currently there's no way to get it running like on windows systems? [12:16] is this a good image for machine running intel pentium dual core processor? http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso [12:17] it has "amd64" it its name which worries me a bit [12:17] gimpscape: depends if your processor is 64bit and if you want 64bit [12:17] allsystemsarego: i havent mounted anything manually..should i? [12:17] ikonia: it is 64bit, but it's defenitely not AMD [12:17] gimpscape, do you want 64 bits ? [12:17] Hi All! I need some help to put DMIX instead of pulse as audio server...because of latency issue... [12:17] gimpscape: use 32 bit version [12:17] gimpscape that doesn't matter, amd64 = 64bit [12:17] any held would be appreciated [12:17] banteng: don't talk nonsense [12:18] gimpscape, that name is becose AMD inveted 64bits x86 and intel only copied it [12:18] gimpscape: that image will rok on an x86 64bit processor [12:18] ZeroA4: why would I choose 32 bit version? the only problem I know of is flash plugin which doesn't support 64bits [12:18] gimpscape, so linux name for x86-64 is amd64 [12:18] gimpscape, 32bits uses less memory [12:18] gimpscape, actually there is already an 64 bits flash plugin :) [12:19] ZeroA4: I have quite a lot of ram, processor speed is the most imprtant for me [12:19] allsystemsarego: im trying to set it so that ubuntu automatically mounts my ntfs partition during boot up and so im trying to understand the fstab invocation options before i edit it, and the only thing that Im unsure off in the fstab editing is the parameter, and what i would need to set it for my ntfs to be set up properly [12:19] gimpscape, 32bit uses cpu full speed [12:19] joakim`: yeah, it's beta... [12:19] ZeroA4, but not it's full registers :) [12:19] gimpscape, 64 bit gains are negligible [12:19] ZeroA4: ok, it looks like I need to have some read about 32 vs 64 bits [12:20] joaopinto, uses full register... half of them twice [12:20] ohletmeinnowgodd: options would need to include auto for automaticaly mounting it and probably uid,gid parameters to so its owned by your user after mount === DASPRiD is now known as DASPRiD|off === DASPRiD|off is now known as DASPRiD [12:21] mgolisch: so the options are not filesystem specific...ie some options only available for jfs etc?

But display is black. original resolution is 1280 * 800, And I tried with extenional LCD.

[12:40] ok, using edgy 6.10 [12:40] Watza: if it's nothing to do with ubuntu please don't talk about it in here [12:40] Watza: this is for ubuntu support only [12:41] erf :[ [12:41] k'kk [12:41] Watza: thanks [12:41] using default SSHD configuration, with the exception of listening on port 23 [12:41] do u know a chan where... [12:41] Watza: no [12:41] kk ;( [12:41] well anyway..... is there a way to make ubuntu detect my fake raid setup? [12:41] tonisius, very old... upgrade recommended [12:41] ikonia: I did not change any auth settings [12:41] kamizu: i guess it is already detected, as only one disk show up in fdisk -l [12:41] ZeroA4: can't stuck with it till a new server replaces this one [12:41] cant, stuck* [12:41] Watza: try #politics on efnet [12:41] lol [12:41] ikonia: is it normal that it takes a long time to connect the first time? [12:41] lol tx ocRob [12:41] nibbler_: no two disks showed up [12:41] kamizu, only IF there is drivers for linux... [12:41] tonisius: so all should be enabled by default, look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny [12:41] ikonia: how would I go about finding out where it's blocked. [12:41] ah [12:41] kamizu: ah ok, you only pasted sda1 [12:41] the no, no idea [12:41] thanks [12:42] kamizu: again - I strongly advice not using fake raid it will cause you problems [12:42] paul68: are you connecting over cable/bluetooth what [12:42] i had two fakeraid installations already giving me fs errors etc [12:42] tonisius: can you telnet to port 23 from that server? [12:42] kamizu, e seconded ikonia [12:42] WOW [12:42] ikonia: thank you very much [12:42] sshd: 216.65.65.26 [12:42] tonisius: no problem [12:42] what added this IP to my hosts.deny ? [12:42] ikonia: ikonia using cable at this point or is it better to use bluetooth? [12:42] ok......... then i will unraid my hdds :<<<<<<<<, [12:42] tonisius: no idea [12:42] hmm, thanks either way [12:42] why is my ntfs file systemj showing as fuseblk? [12:43] thx for the help i guess =.= [12:43] paul68: either is find, look at your .gnokiirc file it gives you detailso f the setup [12:43] I come to be banned ocRob lol [12:43] ? [12:43] eitehr is "fine" [12:43] ohletmeinnowgodd, because its using ntfs-3g and that uses the 'fuse' tools/userspace filesystem most likely [12:43] <_o-o_> Hi all [12:43] Watza: please stop discussing it in here [12:44] YAY! now connected directly to my server... finally [12:44] OH GREAt [12:44] tonisius please make all cheques payable to cash, no seriosuly, glad your working [12:44] now it says that my drives are "non raid drives" WTF [12:44] non-raid disk [12:44] kamizu: please self moderate your language, we know what wtf means and don't need to see it [12:44] kamizu: where does it say that / [12:45] boot screen [12:45] on the raid driver [12:45] kamizu your windows boot screen ? [12:45] raid bios thing [12:45] before that [12:45] it detects the drives [12:45] kamizu: no idea - thats a hardware issue [12:45] ubuntu did this.. [12:45] kamizu: or they got unsynced by linux somehow... [12:45] kamizu: as I said, fake raid is a bad technologyu [12:45] kamizu: just define a new array [12:45] kamizu: it didn't - but your weclome to think that if it makes you feel better [12:46] nibbler_ i have 500 gigs of data [12:46] "had" is the right tense [12:46] phew [12:46] kamizu: raid5 or mirror or what? [12:46] Is there any way of adding an item to the desktop right-click menu that brings up the main menu when clicked? [12:46] i turned my comp off at the power switch and turn it back on and it works now [12:46] hehe [12:46] nibbler_ don't be sillt it will be raid 0 for mega performance [12:47] nibbler_: sorry, I need quotes "mega performance" [12:47] hi. have someone successfully installed NIC driver of Gigabyte mainboard - GA-G31M-S2C, and the chipset is RTL8101E [12:47] ikonia: hrhr, raid isnt about performance, its the only reasonable way of backing up data! [12:48] raid can very well be about performance [12:48] nibbler_: itis if you think your l33t and care about 2 second boot times [12:48] umm..... how can i back up my entire drive? i want to unraid my drives....... [12:48] kamizu get and external drive and copy the data off, people in ##windows will explain windows backup tools [12:48] and backups are just a seperate copy of data... might be good to put it on a more failsafe medium like a raid5 array, but still it needs to be a seperate copy [12:48] kamizu: if its a mirror just take one drive out of the config and copy data to that [12:48] raid5 alone is not a good backup. From experience. :) [12:49] yay back with ubuntu 8.04 and everything works! [12:49] nibbler_: i'm on raid0 [12:49] Radtoo: sorry, forgot the tags :D [12:49] nibbler_: I see. :) [12:49] ikonia: where do I find this file? [12:49] paul68 normally in your home dir, but there should be a copy in /etc too I think [12:50] is "async" for the "options" parameter in fstab the way in which the communication with the filesystem to be mounted with will be defined? ie parallel(sync.) and serial (async) ? [12:50] kamizu: raid0 is the best, lose one hd, lose all data :D [12:50] hi! when I start my computer, always get a message like "User's $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language..." How can I fix that? [12:50] nibbler_: again please remeber sarcasm tags [12:50] I have been using ubuntu since 6 and 8.10 was the worse one for me (I know it has been the best for some other people) [12:50] nibbler_: i have it all backed up on an external lol [12:50] kamizu: hmm, but you want a backup that will then be readable under linux? [12:50] U-b-u-n-t-u: me<------the best [12:50] hehe [12:51] yeah lots of people like it [12:51] Radtoo: nope, i'm going to install windows again [12:51] i used hardy and BOY was i PO'ed [12:51] U-b-u-n-t-u: this is a support channel only please [12:51] hey wait......... [12:51] U-b-u-n-t-u: I have to agree with you.. i am still at 8.04 LTS [12:51] can i back up the OS? and then put it back [12:51] kamizu: yes, it should work if you do it right [12:51] kamizu: the guys in ##windows will explain the windows backup tools [12:51] iknoia I am sorta talking about ubuntu and the difference for me so? [12:51] !ot | U-b-u-n-t-u [12:51] U-b-u-n-t-u: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:51] U-b-u-n-t-u: your saying what's good and bad - this is uspport only please [12:52] is "async" for the "options" parameter in fstab the way in which the communication with the filesystem to be mounted with will be defined? ie parallel(sync.) and serial (async) ? [12:52] kamizu: Agreed. From the linux point of view, you just should keep in mind that you want to have some unpartitioned space after putting the backup back. :) [12:52] ok ok pfft === ayg_cute is now known as torron [12:52] oh207, man mount (read the option help there) [12:52] ohletmeinnowgodd, ^ [12:52] huh? [12:52] Radtoo: but can i put it on my unraided drives and then boot from it? [12:52] kamizu: the guys in ##windows will explain this [12:53] kamizu: fake raid is a windows system [12:53] ikonia they aren't really helping [12:53] joaopinto: huh? [12:53] kamizu: they need to start, ubuntu is not for windows help [12:54] ohletmeinnowgodd, on the terminal type, "man mount", the options are described there [12:54] ohletmeinnowgodd: that is a good way to see and understand the options available to you [12:54] oh ok, is that what "^" means? [12:54] ohletmeinnowgodd it meant "look up" [12:55] kamizu: You can mostl likely do that but probably not without moving the data off the raid first. Caveats may apply depending on windews version. ##windows might know. :) [12:55] are all the mans stored in a central directory? [12:55] ^_^ --> smiley :) [12:55] ohletmeinnowgodd, yes, man man (for details) [12:55] ohletmeinnowgodd, sort of. :) thety are in a directory divided into sections. depending on the type of documention [12:56] [23:50:17] how can i back up my entire drive please? [12:56] [23:52:51] copy it [12:56] lol [12:56] kamizu you need to ask better questions [12:56] kamizu: might work with a linux called "clonezilla" [12:56] kamizu, you can use partimage, or you can use a regular archiving tool like tar [12:56] kamizu: thats your fault [12:57] Radtoo: won't if he can't mount the disks as a raid volume [12:57] joaopinto: he can't see the disks as a raid device due to fake raid, just two seperate diekss [12:57] disks [12:57] joaopinto: he's using raid0 so the file system will be across both of them [12:58] ikonia, and partimage does not cope with that ? Isn't it presented as a logical partition ? [12:58] ah, you mean, it is not mounted [12:58] joaopinto: because linux needs to get fakeraid working to see 1 disk make up of two, he just se's two physical standalone disks [12:59] joaopinto: exactly [12:59] <_0-^-0_> Hi all [12:59] ok ok sorry, didn't got all the entire problem [12:59] joaopinto easy to miss === MadMax is now known as Guest92220 [12:59] ikonia: I guess so, although sometimes its dmraid can actually pick things up. :) [12:59] hello [12:59] Radtoo it can - but in this case it's not === rhljnk is now known as rahul [13:00] oh, you already tried. :) [13:00] Radtoo not massivly hard, but as the technology is poor, didn't make any sense to push futher [13:00] windows works fine, howcome ubuntu has problems [13:00] i've an old installation of edubuntu here (6.x) and i want to upgrade it, but it says that a certification is wrong [13:00] ikonia: agreed. [13:00] what could i do ? [13:00] kamizu I explained there are no fakeraid drivers for linux- they are reverse engineered windows ones [13:01] kamizu: windows never made it compatible. :) [13:01] oh windows is mean [13:01] kamizu: There's a things that work between BSD, Solaris, Linux, OSX and more that won't work with windows, either. :D [13:01] kamizu, you can also ask your RAID card vendor for support [13:02] joaopinto ho ho ho, nice one [13:02] tipo [13:02] kamizu: see om [13:02] Hello when I do fsck I get this "inode has illegal blocks clear /y" what does it mean? is it ok to do yes? nothing will be lost? [13:02] kamizu: see pm* [13:02] !br | spiga [13:02] spiga: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:03] b33r: its a risky operation, so it warns you [13:03] b33r, data maybe lost, but since you have the FS corrupted, there is no alternative [13:03] b33r: If you easily can, make a backup first. [13:03] ok thanks [13:03] b33r: If not... I guess you'll have to say yes. [13:03] backing up a corrupted FS may not be a smart idea [13:03] if anyone here is using the UK ISP virgin media and would like to help me confirm whether or not they are blocking are certain port range, pls PM me [13:04] This maybe a dumb question, but does a DVD+/-RW Drive read CDs? What about write CDs? Or, does it only work with DVDs? [13:04] Troy_: should read cds fine [13:04] Troy_: the whole shabang, everything [13:04] Troy_, that is hw specific, but I have never found a dvd burner without cd burning capabilities === led_zeppelin_ is now known as devil_crime [13:05] Thanks all for your hlep! [13:05] or your help. [13:06] okay, so I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed [13:06] joaopinto: Sure it is, in the not impossible case that the fsprogs interpreted the problem / solution wrongly and destroy (more) data :) [13:06] joaopinto: Fortunately, that case is rare, but I had it before... [13:07] hi everybody [13:07] Radtoo, that is a very unlikely scenario on which the filesystem checking utility is broken :P [13:07] Hello.. I have Ubuntu running for a long time and it gets slower and slower... I tried creating a new user and it's fast like newly installed... How can I make my existing user fast like new user? [13:07] hi [13:07] Like... How can I remove all the settings done to the gnome desktop? [13:07] theDtTvB2`CZ, you need to clean/remove whatever you installed on that user's session [13:08] theDtTvB2`CZ, removing all settings is equivalent to creating a new user.. you already did that... [13:08] I've been using ubuntu for some time now. I wanted to try KDE. Now sincerely which do you suggest me, Kubuntu 8.10 or the latest OpenSuse? [13:08] Umm... [13:08] !best | AzizLight [13:08] how come when i run fdisk-l my swap filesystem shows up as solaris? lol i dont remember installing unix... [13:08] AzizLight: 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. [13:08] If I switch to terminal and type something like [13:08] mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity backupsettings [13:08] AzizLight: does it even matter? [13:08] Should it work? [13:09] I thought you could use the repos to install kde [13:09] ohletmeinnowgodd, #linux may be a better place to ask [13:09] AzizLight: I mean... you want KDE, you get KDE with either, might as well pick this. [13:09] ops, was for AzizLight [13:09] Radtoo: I dont know, I'm not searching for the "best" setup. I just want to have nice experience with KDE coming from gnome [13:10] ohletmeinnowgodd: it should say Linux swap / Solaris [13:10] AzizLight: Try anthing that has kde4. It will at least be interesting. :) [13:10] ocROb yeah [13:10] Ok I will try that first... [13:10] anyone^^^ [13:10] Radtoo: ok ;) thanks [13:10] AzizLight, you are looking for "the best" KDE experience, doing an inter-distro question, while this is a distro specific support channel ;) [13:11] joaopinto: good point :S [13:11] ohletmeinnowgodd: solaris uses the same ID as linux swap space for its partitions === co_ngangenin is now known as c0w_ [13:13] cool [13:13] okay, so I have ubuntu 8.10 and a dell inspiron e1505, and when I close the lid the screen doesn't shut off, but when I open it it turns of briefly then back on, like its just realizing the lid was closed anyone?? [13:14] templaedhel: anyone on the forums have that problem? [13:14] templaedhel: This is probably some sort of ACPI thing, and nontrivial. :D [13:14] ikonia: I went into system update 'n it said last update done 4 hours ago!! I was not on my pc!! [13:14] templaedhel: yeah i have a vostro and sometimes it doesnt sleep/whatever i assign it to be done when i close the lid - so i just manually hibernate/usped/shutdown before i close the lid [13:14] *suspend...maybe someone here knows [13:14] still [13:15] I do that to but then it logs me off of here and everything, maybe I'm gone for a few minutes but I want to render a sequence [13:15] ikonia: I opened Firefox from the wotsisname, but I couldn't see it 'cos it crashed 'n I couldn't select another window! [13:15] hibernate/suspend in Ubuntu is touch'n'go [13:15] DASPRiD: right. there isn't a good way to run all 3 screens as one large desktop. You can do that using Xinerama, but as I said you lose compositing and performance is pretty bad. (srry took so long to reply i was afk) [13:16] templaedhel: It might vanish if you update the kernel at some point. Maybe it's also the lid itself that does only have that magnetic attraction / angle to trigger the event before its closed (seen that before) [13:16] How do I edit the DNS servers of my network? [13:16] it seems I remember something about commenting out a line in lid.sh but I can't remember\ [13:16] ushimitsudoki: he, no problem :). I wonder if nvidia is going to implemented that feature in the near future? === lasivian_ is now known as Lasiv [13:16] I, not it [13:16] templaedhel: ah, you just want to disable it entirely?

[13:18] templaedhel: Hm. That I don't know then, sorry. Perahaps someone else does... or the forums. [13:18] allsystemsarego and ActionParsnip: It doesn't work.. [13:18] k thanks for your help [13:18] I can only open Konversation, but cannot close it or open any other app now!!! [13:18] Stalker72, what does it look like? [13:19] Last time I tried Ubuntu I wasn't able to setup a software Raid5/6 during install with Ubuntu (iirc). Can I with the current stable distro?

[13:37] DarkKnight: setup a server, setup a client, connect, done [13:37] nexus23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337234 [13:37] Slart; the thing is that i have no idea about severs....and i just wanted to experiment it out...and 1 friend just proposed to put a samba sever...whats this samba sever [13:37] these are video files ActionParsnip [13:37] DarkKnight: try typing !samba here in the channel [13:37] DarkKnight: a server is a computer that can - for any reason - be connected by another one (the otherone being the client) [13:38] DarkKnight: can be hosting files (samba) offering a remotelogin (ssh (telnet)), or run games like quake etc [13:38] anyone: is there a specific wireless/network help channel? [13:38] nexus23: you can still use cp with vid file s and they will join. You need an extra command to resync the audio though [13:38] !wifi | scoremeformusic [13:38] scoremeformusic: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:38] scoremeformusic, there is a #networking channel [13:38] Last time I tried Ubuntu I wasn't able to setup a software Raid5/6 during install with Ubuntu (iirc). Can I with the current stable distro via a GUI installer? [13:38] Slart, nibbler; so i can even run a mysql sever along with it... [13:38] Is adding another IP to NIC possible without losing the current internet connection? [13:39] "iface eth0:1 inet static ..."

I've tried resetting it [13:40] nibbler_: ty [13:40] oh cool thanks joaopinto [13:40] rainabba: I don't think so.. I think it's possible with the alternate install cd.. [13:40] !alternate | rainabba [13:40] rainabba: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [13:40] scoremeformusic: if you run: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [13:40] Ugh - Don't suppos eanyone here has any experience with FreeRadius and WiMAX ?

[13:41] scoremeformusic, is your router set up correctly (DHCP)? [13:41] Slart, nibbler; so will it tax up if i try 2 run a web sever as well [13:42] nexus23: looks like it, yes. If you keep the originals in a seperate folder you can play with copies to test stuff [13:42] ok i did that and now theres no video [13:42] just sound === co_ngangenin is now known as C0W_ [13:43] DarkKnight: I didn't understand that question, can you rephrase?

I want to install kubuntu and make it use my ubuntu home partition. All I have to do is create the kubuntu partitions on the second HD and mount the same home partition as the home partition?

[13:44] nexus23: then run: mencoder -o endfilename.avi -noidx -oac copy -ovc copy combo.avi [13:45] nexus23: combo.avi is your final result [13:45] AzizLight O would just add kubuntu-desktop to your ubuntu and select between them at login [13:45] What common limitations do people run into when running an x86_64 Ubuntu distro (drivers, software, etc) ? [13:45] alright ActionParsnip thanks [13:45] BeBeLuShuL, you have setup your mail to do local delivery, and you do not have a SMTP service running on 127.0.0.1 [13:45] AzizLight: although as Jack_Sparrow said, just installing kde under ubuntu is somehow more elegant. :) [13:45] rainabba, not much these days [13:45] ok jaopinto [13:45] but how can i make it to work ? [13:46] rainabba flash and then not everything is compiled for 64 and you have to chroot it [13:46] have any ideea ? [13:46] rainabba: some flash issues... sometimes java issues.. some weird proprietary stuff isn't available as 64-bit (bank security software for example) [13:46] BeBeLuShuL, are you using postfix ? [13:46] BeBeLuShuL, sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix [13:46] no jaopinto [13:46] i sue snedmail [13:46] Slart; the plan is like...only the sever will be connected to the internet...no client systems will access the internet unless approved by the admin [13:46] use [13:46] I only have experience with postfix [13:46] Jack_Sparrow, Radtoo : I heard there was a lot of bugs with that? is that true? because I would much rather just install ubuntu desktop [13:46] Slart; the plan is like...only the sever will be connected to the internet...no client systems will access the internet unless approved by the admin...so how do u do that [13:46] !ics | DarkKnight [13:46] DarkKnight: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [13:46] ragazzi ho problemi con la rete questo quello che ho fatto fino ad ora :-( http://rafb.net/p/jEZbIY24.html senza ottenere risultati :-( [13:46] sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix [13:46] sudo: unable to resolve host bebe-desktop [13:46] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is broken or not fully installed [13:46] join/ #networking [13:47] BeBeLuShuL, this only works for postfix you need to install it [13:47] thats the error jaopinto [13:47] AzizLight You will end up running a lot of kde libs on ubuntu anyhow for things like k3b which is one of the best burning programs etc..

[13:55] !ask | samool2 [13:55] samool2: 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. :-) [13:55] Slart: A browser is one of many clients for Sharepoint. MS Office 2003+, XP, and Vista can all access Sharepoint natively. [13:55] ushimitsudoki, i guess i'm going with a single x-screen solution for the monitor on the second card, which will hold the static applications (chat, mpc, etc), until nvidia solves this base problem :) [13:55] rainabba: ah.. thanks === DareDevi0 is now known as DareDevil0 [13:55] DASPRiD: that is what I settled on after a lot of experimenting.

[13:56] !nickspam > DareDevil0 [13:56] DareDevil0, please see my private message [13:56] Ok, I have a problem with my usb headset, I can hear audio from games, but on youtube and such, I cannot hear audio. Does anyone know why that is? [13:56] Slart : no result :( [13:56] Just to confirm, the following link is for Hardy, 64bit (Intel and AMD), Alt-CD right? http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent [13:56] ushimitsudoki, yeah, you still have compiz on all screens which is fine.. when i tried that 2 hours tho, i had the problem that the twinview-screens were only handled as a single one anymore, gotta fix that to make it fully usable [13:57] Anyone? [13:57] !patience [13:57] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [13:57] DASPRiD: compiz (and some other WMs) can limit the maximizing to a single monitor. Some windows will still "pop up" centered between the two right side monitors, though. [13:57] !sound | samool2 [13:57] samool2: 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 [13:58] ushimitsudoki, well with only the two monitors enabled it works, but when enabling x-screen on third monitor it doesnt work anymore [13:58] on a fresh install of 8.10 I am having weird lan issues. I can get out to net and access lan servers by ip or host but anything host.domain.local fails..... what have i misses/done wrong [13:59] DASPRiD but with effects of it works right [13:59] DASPRiD: it will, just play with your WM. I think I set the Outputs manually in Compiz > Display Settings to reflect two monitors. Can't remember exactly, but most stuff will work right there [13:59] does anybody know how can i convert wav files to mp3? [13:59] ushimitsudoki, yeah i will experiement this evening after work [14:00] DASPRiD: things like the gksu window and logout window and the like will still open centered across two monitors. a bit annoying, but workable [14:00] DASPRiD The compiz channel is a good place for help on that as well [14:00] pybe: looks like dns is failing, are your dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [14:00] skenderbeu, audacity [14:00] ushimitsudoki, well as i said, with just the two monitors, that doesnt :) [14:00] it works like it should [14:01] skenderbeu: look here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-236788.html [14:01] yes i have audacity but where can i go?

[14:01] ActionParsnip: nslookup for host.domain.local works and ping host replies from host.domain.local but ping host.domain.local fails as unknown host [14:02] skenderbeu: of course you've already googled and searched the forums.. but I still would like to bring up a post from the forums.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323639 [14:02] skenderbeu, remember to start audacity with a leading "aoss" [14:02] DASPRiD: There is a patch for that, and a fake libxinerama.so (?) available from links at the Nvidia forum somewhere.

[14:21] skenderbeu, File-Open, then File-Export [14:21] ushimitsudoki, neat setup! :) [14:21] ushimitsudoki, is that 3x 22" wd as well? [14:21] ushimitsudoki: nice lol [14:21] DASPRiD: 3x24" [14:22] Does anybody know about EggDrops!? I cannot connect it to any server. It returns me that It has been I-Lined & I have only Xchat open (If I have any mistake Writting, Please, Say it to me :D) [14:22] ushimitsudoki, ouch even better ;) [14:22] ActionParsnip: in that case thanks and sorry for disturbing:) [14:22] DASPRiD: I have a smaller 4th LCD I want to mount on the wall there where the calendar is. waiting on the bosses (wifes) approval [14:22] it didn't appeared as a mp3 allsystemsarego [14:22] ushimitsudoki, hehe yeah why not *G* [14:23] remoteCTR1: its not hard. i dont get all these automounters [14:23] can I get nautilus to automatically mount a network mount on start? [14:23] skenderbeu, so did you run it as "aoss audacity" ? [14:23] henke: if you add it to fstab, it'll mount at boot [14:24] ActionParsnip: basically i am doing authentication and mapping via ldap and actually everything works fine so far but i cant figure what to put in those auto.* maps in order to have this mounted properly [14:24] yes [14:24] ushimitsudoki, so pretty many people are waiting for triplehead/quadrohead support on linux i c ;) [14:24] ActionParsnip: and lemme tellya it wasnt easy:D [14:24] did you open the wav file with File-Open? [14:24] DASPRiD: Once the developers start getting them we will get better support :) [14:24] skenderbeu, did you open the wav file with File-Open? [14:24] remoteCTR1: if you create a file with your credentials in it will be used for the mount [14:25] yes [14:25] ushimitsudoki, hehe [14:25] skenderbeu, ok, now go to File-Export [14:25] aha i went [14:26] you should select MP3 files skenderbeu [14:26] skenderbeu, lower right-hand corner [14:27] yes i did that [14:27] ActionParsnip: actually its not that easy i neted to insert labels and mount options and stuff, but this somehow has [14:27] skenderbeu, choose a name for it e.g. music.mp3 [14:27] to be generic as multiple persons are supposed to login there and that is what i dont get BUT eventually i just found someone who is a pro on it [14:27] hello [14:28] skenderbeu, and click save [14:28] ? [14:28] Sorry all, a little housekeeping before things get busy [14:29] Jack_Sparrow, ten years of purgatory for that :P [14:29] allsystemsarego I needed to make room in there for you :) [14:29] thx allsystemsarego thx [14:29] hello everyone! === urkki is now known as Finnish [14:31] Hello and Merry Christmas!!! I have Pidgin 2.4.1 on hardy. how can i update to the las version? [14:32] Feddozz, either you update your distro version, which is the official process, or you get a package from getdeb (which is not official) [14:32] Feddozz: there is a ppa @ https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive [14:32] Feddozz: install pidgin from hardy-backports [14:32] !info pidgin hardy-backports [14:32] pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1~hardy1 (hardy-backports), package size 547 kB, installed size 1920 kB [14:33] joaopinto/ what is getdeb? how can i use it? [14:33] getdeb.net [14:33] !getdeb [14:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb [14:34] Feddozz: you should stick to official repositories whenever possible [14:34] Feddozz, www.getdeb.net, or release upgrade [14:34] jrib/ ok but intrepid gave me too many probs [14:34] Feddozz: I did not tell you to upgrade to intrepid. I suggested you use the hardy-backports repository in hardy [14:35] jrib/ ah ok [14:36] jrib/ how should I use those backports [14:36] Feddozz: system -> administration -> software sources, tick hardy-backports, upgrade pidgin [14:37] jrib/ tnx [14:37] How do i test my harddrive write speed? [14:37] kise, man hdparm [14:37] kise: hdparam [14:38] can u help me with the rename command [14:38] eracc, you mean "mv" ? [14:38] erry: what do you want to do? [14:38] jirib: rename all files starting metalic_ to metallic_(rest of name) [14:38] um [14:38] jrib* [14:38] kise: more detailed tests including factors like the filesystem and so on are possible with bonnie++... just fyi [14:39] erry: did you see the man page for examples? Do you have any guesses as to what the command will look like? [14:39] um [14:39] it has rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak [14:39] erry hint: terminal man mv [14:39] hey can you give yours JAVAHOME [14:39] mv? [14:39] that's move right [14:40] Rado, thanks , fyi? [14:40] Jack_Sparrow, mv won't help very much there, unless used in a loop [14:40] erry, batch renaming requires some commandd integration [14:40] erry: rename 's/^metalic_/metallic_/' * [14:40] erry: if you mv to the same folder it renames it [14:40] kise: fyi - "for your information" [14:40] Hey, does anyone know how to copy an ISO to a HDD partition and then boot from it? [14:40] erry: don't run that, LjL made a typo [14:40] TheFuzzball: try wubi :P [14:40] .. [14:40] too late [14:40] oh, there is a rename command :D [14:40] TheFuzzball: Its not doing exactly that, but easier. [14:40] LjL Ah, reread the question.. ty [14:40] jrib: i did? [14:40] has anyone experienced problems updating openoffice 3? [14:40] .org [14:41] jrib, i ran it now [14:41] :D [14:41] Radtoo, I hate Wubi, sorry. [14:41] Radtoo Wubi is not something I ever recommend or ude [14:41] FiReSTaRT: theres a tarred lot of deb files to install [14:41] use [14:41] Radtoo, thanks, i did use the -t -T thing in hdparm but it only test read speed ;) [14:41] erry: erm, ok. Did it do what you wanted? Maybe I misunderstood [14:41] FiReSTaRT: on the open office site [14:41] jrib it worked [14:41] sooooo [14:41] ActionParsnip: ahh ok and that'll fix the issue? [14:42] LjL: erm, yeah. I misread :) [14:42] Jack_Sparrow: Mkay. Well, it worked on all setups for me, but I guess it has drawbacks. :) [14:42] Radtoo But when you understand what it does and how it works you wont use it long term [14:42] I've tried chainloader +1 but it doesn't work :( [14:42] Jack_Sparrow: of course I understand that [14:43] Radtoo If you call wiping out your windows install a drawback yea, but in a way, that is a plus [14:43] Hello, I am trying to install okular from andLinux and am getting some unmet dependencies... this isn't an andLinux problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/okular/+bug/145548).... can someone help me get okular working? [14:44] Jack_Sparrow: I also don't have to do that nor does it happen just like that, but alas... [14:44] is there a way to force the live cd to boot xorg using vesa driver? [14:44] libgs-esp8, libpoppler1, libpoppler1-qt4 are the missing packages. [14:44] (some boot opttion?) === SoUkSoU` is now known as SoUkSoU [14:45] Genscher, have you checked the options on the bottom of the screen during the boot menu ? [14:45] yes, they all don't set xorg.conf to vesa [14:45] what's the new version of kpdf called for intrepid? [14:46] TheFuzzball: Anyhow... I think there's some hacks to grub / lilo in the past that supported this, but as far as I know off-the-mill ones only work if you actually copy files to a partition. [14:46] Genscher this may work on the command line.. xdrvr=vesa, [14:46] I cannot access any console. My screen goes black when I try to move from tty7 to say, tty 1 through 6. [14:46] lesshaste, okular [14:46] shiftplusone_, ok thanks [14:46] Genscher, let it boot, then Ctrl-Alt-F1, and vi xorg.conf [14:46] hum, I had the idea there was a force vesa driver option on the intrepid cd [14:46] allsystemsarego, it's a live cd ... [14:46] telstra.com [14:46] TheFuzzball: There's no notion as treating a file on a filesystem on a hdd partition like a cd / dvd device on boot. [14:46] Radtoo, how do you mean? I have done dd if=thing.iso of=/dev/sda2 [14:47] joaopinto, yes, it wors, I've done it [14:47] *works [14:47] !iso [14:47] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [14:47] Radtoo, what filesystem do DVDs use? [14:47] TheFuzzball, dumpingo an iso into a partition ? What are you trying to achieve ? [14:47] !ubottu [14:47] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:47] TheFuzzball: I mean a filewise copy to some ext3 or something like that... there's forum posts describing how its done. [14:48] TheFuzzball: Iso9660 or less frequently, udf. Iso may have boot extensions. [14:49] Radtoo, If I had a partition that was formatted to ISO9660 with installation files on it how would I boot it? === Abracadabra is now known as Abr4c4d4br4 === Abr4c4d4br4 is now known as Abrocadabra [14:52] ccc [14:53] if I lock my session will cron jobs still execute? [14:53] yeah [14:53] TheFuzzball: Grub itself is able to access such filesystems... and it can handle el-torito boot headers. But if I had to guess, it won't work anyways because of the boot scripts and such not being intended that way. :) [14:54] HI，大家好 [14:55] hi. [14:55] <_21h_> hi all. http://paste.ubuntu.com/84393/ how to fix this? [14:55] Is there a mixer for ubuntu that will show levels? [14:56] _21h_: nothing to fix, just a warning [14:56] _21h_: in terminal you could export those variales then run the app [14:56] _21h_: but as nibbler_ says, its a warning only [14:57] <_21h_> heh [14:57] <_21h_> this warning bombs my email [14:57] <_21h_> cron.d after tasks sends to me reports [14:57] _21h_: > /dev/null [14:57] :D [14:57] I'm having issues with apps not being able to output sound, although I've told pulseaudio to create the virtual devices for simultaneous sound [14:57] _21h_: that's very unlikely. Perhaps the warning is being printed, and then your email client crashes for some other reason without printing an error message? [14:58] <_21h_> nibbler_, haha very funny [14:58] <_21h_> SlimeyPete, not crashes. this warning kills my eyes when i read cron.d report [14:58] oh right [14:58] I see. [14:59] I put my computer to sleep last night, and now it won't boot! This person has had the same problem -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=954515. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? [14:59] I really need to get some data off it.... [14:59] Will I be able to mount the main disks if I boot from the live cd? [15:00] jstritar: Yes. Unless they're broken entirely. [15:00] hmm okay [15:00] jstritar: check system logs [15:00] jstritar: (I mean... the hardware) [15:00] ActionParsnip: I can't boot ... at all [15:01] when I restarted the computer it complained about the overclocking settings (first time in 1.5 years), and said it can't find a master HD [15:01] jstritar: not even to recovery mode? [15:01] nothing [15:01] I had it reset the bios to clear the overclocking problems [15:01] Well... [15:01] but it still wont' boot into anything [15:01] Maybe you just lost your bios settings? [15:01] did you check what drive it tries to boot off now? [15:01] Perhaps it just uses the wrong hdd or something [15:01] jstritar: boot to live cd and run an fsck [15:02] jstritar: do you get the grub boot? [15:02] I have an SSD with the OS and a raid array with my data [15:02] no [15:02] jstritar: I dont think that prevents the bios from trying to boot off the wrong drive, per se? [15:03] jstritar: So, did you try the other drives first? As you obviously lost your settings. [15:03] will i be able to run fsck on that? [15:03] the RAID isn't being found either... [15:03] its like the motherboard isn't working [15:04] jstritar: as long as you can get some kind of boot (be it cd or whatever) you can fsck [15:04] okay [15:04] its booting on teh livecd right now [15:04] what is the actual command for fsck? [15:04] jstritar: sudo fsck /dev/ [15:05] jstritar: Do you have some nifty asus / gigabyte mainboard? They sometimes have two copies of the bios & settings with a failover. Perhaps it reverted to an older bios on the mainboard side. :) [15:05] I think I have an asus [15:05] Radtoo the dual bios gigabit has saved me more than once [15:05] jstritar: might be something to check, if you have one of the ones that have multiple bios. perhaps you got back to an older version inadvertedly [15:05] I'll check it out [15:06] Hey, what woudl be the best CD burnign software for Ubuntu? [15:06] NEWK: Subjective, but lots of people like k3b [15:06] !best | NEWK [15:06] NEWK: 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. [15:06] Ah, that's what peopel are telling me in other places [15:06] I need a smartass bot like that for my channel. :D [15:06] NEWK: its like asking what the best ANYTHING is. It doesnt exist as all products are subjective [15:07] Well, you know what I meant [15:07] !burning | NEWK [15:07] NEWK: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [15:07] ok, people are clearly pointing me towards k3b. I shall check it out [15:07] NEWK: try a few, see which you like [15:07] I just need to burn one CD [15:07] I'm burning an OS from an ISO [15:07] NEWK: make sure you md5 ;) [15:07] NEWK: you could do that on the command line :) [15:07] NEWK right click the iso and burn to disk [15:08] is the KDE 4.1.3 in ubuntu 8.10 usually stable and fast on older cards or should i just stick to the default gnome? [15:08] While running the liveCD it spits out a ton of errors "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 357904. end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 143116" [15:08] is that something to worry about :\ [15:08] NEWK: At that level, the decision generally is like unambiguous. :) [15:08] huh? [15:08] Apparently feisty disappeared from the archives at http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/. Which other sources can I define to add packages to my feisty installation? [15:09] NEWK You should not need to install any software for that [15:09] !md5 | NEWK [15:09] NEWK: 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 [15:09] kalle_ it is eol [15:09] !eol [15:09] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [15:09] is there somebody that can help me about the glib dev package ? [15:09] Really? [15:09] How do I do it then?

[15:11] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [15:11] are all laptop-disks vulnerable to the Load_Cycle_Count bug? I have a 2.5" disk in my barebone computer, should I apply a bug-fix?

[15:16] joaopinto: i'm a gambas dev [15:17] joaopinto: i'm working on the gb.dbus component [15:17] gambix, it should be easier to use the building rules for the debian package, it includes options specific to debian/ubuntu [15:17] joaopinto: i'm trying lol === NiaGhost is now known as Niamor [15:17] gambix, right now your problem is the header path [15:18] which is /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib-object.h for ubuntu [15:18] gambix, I have built a gambas package 4 months ago, using the debian build rules, it built successfully [15:18] The SSD with the OS is fine. I think the problem is that my boot records are on the RAID array and the bios isn't recognizing my RAID controller anymore (I can't go into the 3ware bios setup) [15:19] i have 8.1 server... how might i go about getting the new MySQL 5.1, do I need to wait until apt-get has it? [15:19] jstritar: good troubleshooting skills dude :D [15:19] NoiseEee: you may want to wait [15:19] NoiseEee: have you heard about the bugs in 5.1 ? [15:19] NoiseEee: you may be able to find a 3rd party repo with it on [15:19] ActionParsnip: any ideas on how to get the RAID recognized again :\ [15:20] jstritar: ive not used it in a soft raid, only a true raid so I'm not much cop [15:20] !raid | jstritar [15:20] jstritar: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [15:20] thanks all [15:20] i'll wait :) === zissis is now known as spidernet [15:21] Hi i just got a nvidia 9500 gt card.

[15:21] it never displays the little 3ware bios thing... so i can't enter the controller setup! [15:21] jstritar: you may need to install modules / settings for the card [15:21] melch: press esc on boot, go to rescue mode and select fix xorg [15:22] you can select that from the menu [15:22] does that go for things like imagemagick as well?

[16:14] c0re_, I'm setting up a system for benchmarking, and I am trying to reproduce very specific instructions that have worked with this AMI before [16:14] Ultimus, i would suggest you install the package 'wipe'. [16:14] remove totally with no recovery possible [16:14] slango: ok, while in /var/cache/apt/archives try to install it with dpkg, dpkg -i module-init-tools- [16:14] Jampiter: nvidia 8500GT [16:14] Ultimus, it is not integrated with nautilus, but a commnand line program.

It won't work in the terminal for me. [16:15] jrib: i can give that a shot i think. will it install a new version alongside the current one, or? [16:15] is there a way i can reset ubuntu to how it was when i first installed? [16:15] yeah, i download the drivers from the nVidia site and ran the *.run file [16:15] jeeez, and its installed?

I don't think I can even restart the instance without killing it... [16:16] hi. I cannot see a shared directory on an XP box from my Ubuntu machine. What could be the reason of that? [16:16] Ultimus, the best way to get rid of data is to wipe a whole partition, or even the whole drive. [16:16] jeez open up a terminal then type gfxgears [16:16] i did ctrl alt backspace then reboot -f and now my x wont work [16:16] tomek, did you configured samba?

[16:18] Blaze_Boy: you should be fine [16:18] slango: you might think you don't need module-init-tools, but i think you will end finding out that you do. i can look at aptitude and see how it classifies that package though, but i'm thinking it either classified as 'essential' or 'important'. [16:18] hey, alt tab works! had to enable it [16:18] jrib, no manual entry for wipe [16:18] jeeez, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [16:18] will removing all gdms - then reinstalling ubuntudesktop work?

[16:25] jrib: ok [16:25] <[c0re]> scoremeformusic, copy text then paste it on the web [16:25] onetinsoldier, no... with an EC2 instance, you get billed by the hour [16:25] <[c0re]> then give us the url [16:25] and when you terminate it, the system is wiped completely [16:25] it's like a VPS to the extreme [16:26] hmm, mysql51 has been out for over a month but it doesn't seem to have made it to the ubuntu repository [16:26] at least not according to apt-cache show mysql-server [16:26] you can save an image, but that costs even more money [16:26] jrib: is there a esc function in ubuntu, for ex. when I want to exit the manual page, or do I have to close the terminal each time [16:26] and for my purposes, isn't necessary [16:26] (core): okay its up [16:26] Ultimus: press q [16:26] Jampiter: c:\ubuntu right? [16:27] (core): http://pastebin.com/m3741e44d [16:27] scoremeformusic: you figure it out yet? [16:27] no :( [16:27] hi, can you also install ubuntu with a different window manager/desktop than gnome?

You will then have a choice of window managers at the login screen by pressing the "options" button [16:28] slango: might was well finish* [16:28] onetinsoldier, but I'm wondering... this system won't ever even be restarted [16:28] jiffe98, yep sucks [16:28] I start it up... I use it... I terminate it and it's destroyed [16:28] then, next time I use it, I build the whole thing from scratch again [16:29] slango: i don't know what that means? you mean you don't care about this system or what?

[16:30] is that correct? [16:30] who typically takes care of updating packages like that? [16:30] (core): pastebin's installed, ...what does it do? I thought all I have to is post it on the site [16:30] scoremeformusic: type "cat /etc/network/interfaces" and paste that into #flood [16:31] scoremeformusic: better yet pastebin [16:31] slango: you would be correct. it's not needed if you're not loading or removing modules [16:31] jrib: sorry but what's difference between shred and wipe, which is to prefer, some say you cant wipe files in ext3 so what exactly is this wipe doing? Just wonder... [16:31] (core): my ifconfig doesn't show the ip address of my router. [16:31] tmg1: will do. [16:31] onetinsoldier, good news [16:32] onetinsoldier, now I need to figure out what's the deal with this x11 dependency [16:32] Jampiter: and yet it's still taking up space. Hrmf.

I have IDE0 as a Windows disk, and a Ubuntu setup on controller 2 (master and slave). Widows disk is going so I'm replacing with a SATA drive and moving Ubuntu setup to primary IDE controller [16:37] scoremeformusic-> can you elaborate on how your network layout is setup? what is connected to which? how many pc's? [16:37] ceafu: did you move the profiles.ini file, it controls what profiles firefox/thunderbird know about [16:37] onetinsoldier, thanks [16:38] the internet gets disconnect after sometime connecting to internet using sudo pppoeconf in ubuntu 8.04.1 [16:38] n8tuser: one pc, cable from modem's ehternet->wan on router, lan port on router to laptop (while im setting it up) [16:38] have I got this right: you don't need Firestarter because iptables already works in the background. Firestarter is kind of a display for the iptables? [16:38] kbrosnan, i did. it was in the thunderbird folder [16:38] n8tuser: is that what you mean? [16:39] ceafu: you need a seperate one for firefox too [16:39] scoremeformusic-> yes, and you are connected via the ethernet now correct?

I couldn't lock 'em in order to prevent users from changing those settings :-(. Is there a way to do this??? [16:46] running "smbclient -L UbuntuBox" doesnt work but it works on most other dists.

The device has failed and I believe there is a vg called "system" on this device, however when i do vgchange -ay system it says that 0 logical devices are active... anyone know the next step? i've googled and found nothing which seems to identify what is happening here [16:53] abc1xd... I'm confused... :-$ Why is that so cool? [16:53] yes I have 192.168.1.2 and can ping from other ip, but cant ping hostname [16:53] jd88 do a vgscan and/or a vgimport [16:53] chamuscas: did you try apt-get remove ? [16:53] jd88: hopefully it was raid1 [16:53] n8tuser: but I thought I didn'T need a net connection to login to a router? I've tried everything else, the router worked last night, now it won't accept anything when connected (by anything I mean it won'T logion through browser, and when I try the cd I got with it, it doesn'T accept the password, and I tried resetting it) [16:53] ikonia, vgscan finds the volume, vgimport says that the vg is not exported :-\ [16:53] olrrai, do you mean that your name resolution is not working? can you ping the ip but not the hostname? [16:54] zenit, yes, the device was raid1 [16:54] olrrai-> do you have a list of the hostname to ip address mapping? ie it is your /etc/hosts [16:54] dinsdale07: yep [16:54] jd88 create a new volume group and try to put it into that [16:54] j_xinudsb, no will try that in a moment [16:54] ikonia, alright, that won't destroy data? i'm not really that familiar with LVM [16:54] . /etc/hosts : 192.168.1.2 wrk [16:54] scoremeformusic-> you are mis-understanding what offline meant with firefox, go ahead and enable firefox for online [16:54] olrrai, I remember in 8.04, if you get your ip from a dhcp server it "forgets" to advertise it's ip. [16:54] jd88: shouldn't do [16:54] Cause. [16:55] nt8user: oh. em okay ill brb [16:55] dinsdale07: any suggestion? [16:55] chamuscas: did you try apt-get remove --force-yes [16:55] abc2xd - I'm assuming you're the same person as abc1xd, huh :) [16:55] olrrai-> that is the problem, you dont have an ip to hostname mapping [16:55] jd88: vgcfgrestore ?

[17:48] or when i scroll a web page is so slow [17:48] scoremeformusic you need to launch the editor with gksudo as I told you to get root permissions [17:49] wtf?

(I don't know the difference) it just pauses and gives me a new command line. does this mean something?

PMining is needed for this becauseee this channel is too crowded for my screen reader to manage properly [18:43] Gnea: ok... i reinstalled ubuntu, now i am trying to update my graphics, so, last time i had to download them from nvidia's site because restricted drivers crashes it. SO i did that... I made a backup of the default xorg as well... after the driver is installed and is allowed to reconfigure xorg, xorg crashes, even the backup does not restore it. I know that last time i was somehow able to get to the gui and the nvidia tool, and that allowed my to set up [18:43] <|Kamen|> gnea: specifying device gets me the same message. this appears to be an output issue [18:43] hi, I have a small problem, I would like my keyboard to immediately type the symbol ' when I type that character [18:43] instead my keyboard waits for another character so that it can type éáóú and stuff [18:43] onetinsoldier: I am sure that the directory I am in has RT2860STA.dat === DASPRiD is now known as DASPRiD|off [18:44] gyron: make sure there is only one space between name of the file and dir you are copying it to. looks like you have tow spaces there. maybe that's the problem? i don't know for sure [18:44] But there is no Wireless folder under etc [18:44] bdelin88: oh my....

[18:47] bdelin88: well see, here's the thing: we don't support the use of the nvidia driver directly from nvidia's website. it breaks things. your system, is broken. see the pattern here? Ubuntu *does* have a few different nvidia packages that work for some older cards that have become antiquitated... i see what you've posted and that only reinforces it. [18:47] Moradan: dpkg -l [18:47] Hi. some days ago the audio stopped working... without a reason that I can understand. I don't know what can I do, in order to solve the problem... what do you suggest ? [18:47] zsquareplusc, thanks a lot [18:48] Gnea: i have a new card, an 8800 gts, i used the restricted drivers last time i installed intrepid and IT broke my system :) [18:49] Gnea: i tried the drivers from the nvidia site, and worked wonderfully until a new kernel version was downloaded [18:49] paolo: check if this applies for you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [18:49] Gnea: oh i'm sry i am a badass and i solved the problem myself :) [18:49] bdelin88: well, now it's broken even further. :) first things first: get rid of the driver that you downloaded from nvidia's site [18:49] Where do i change my regional configuration like country? [18:49] Gnea: i added "BusID" and the options for that, and i have a gui now [18:49] Gnea: it seems that the xorg did not know which GTS to make primary [18:49] <|Kamen|> ok, the extended error message its giving me says it needs YUY2 overlay support in my video card drivers. I'm using ATI onboard graphics with the FGLRX drivers [18:50] bdelin88: riiiight, it works so well that it doesn't work now :P [18:50] sluimers: you played with System -> Prefs -> Keyboard ? [18:50] Gnea: "PCI:1:0:0" fixed it [18:50] i'm trying to use gksudo and each time that I start it up (in the command line), a window appears in my toolbar, and then disappears, and the command is returned in the terminal. [18:50] Gnea: no no, it IS fixed [18:50] bdelin88: oh, okay. well, when it comes time to upgrade, you'll remember what I said. :) [18:50] whyameye, just a bit [18:50] zsquareplusc: let's have a look. thnks [18:50] I'm trying to get irssi to display all messages/queries sent to me in the active window, instead of a query/msg window. How can I go about doing this? I've looked for a script to do it but came up empty handed [18:50] onetinsoldier: The next step is to actually load the driver. I am in Ubuntu 8.04 (In Gnome). How do I do that? [18:51] |Kamen|: sounds like it should work just fine... do you have your coax hooked up? [18:51] machetemike: /help ignore [18:51] skorasaurus-> which gui based app you need to run? [18:51] Gnea: lol maybe.... last time a xorg backup and restore fixed the thing with the new kernel [18:51] Urgent, Can someone PM me and tell me how to up the volume in a standard gnome installation.

PMining is needed for this becauseee this channel is too crowded for my screen reader to manage properly [18:51] Gnea: i will make a backup and use restricted and see if something better happens [18:51] sluimers: I'm not sure. I would play with the keyboard layout in Gnome and the keyboard settings in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:51] n8tuser, nautalis (removing trash that is locked) [18:52] zsquareplusc: it doesn't help [18:52] skorasaurus-> can you not just use the command line and prefix it with sudo ? [18:52] gyron: i doubt you will need to reboot. but i can't know for certain for something like this. anyway, try the modprobe command. sudo modprobe [18:52] Gnea: if i install restricted will it erase my nvidia driver or do i need to remove that manually [18:52] bdelin88: that's just weird. i've always been able to get any nvidia or ati card to work with the restricted drivers in ubuntu. [18:52] <|Kamen|> gnea: yes. not coax but using video in :) [18:52] Gnea: yea... out of the box when i upgraded with restricted, it just broke everything [18:52] bdelin88: you'll need to a) remove the driver using the shell script (with the --uninstall option, i think?), b) install the driver from the repository. [18:53] i did a quick search on the forums, recommended to use gksudo. how can i find where the trash is located [18:53] skorasaurus-> you typed the command as gksudo nautilus & ? [18:53] |Kamen|: composite? [18:53] whyameye, I want to change two keys, not change to an entirely different layout [18:53] paolo: you checked the mixer settings? PCM channel is up and mot muted?

[18:53] aha !

[19:45] shams: add them to ...the repository? [19:45] raylu: if you want to have some sort of ego contest, do it in another room [19:45] DasEi: Was that reply to me? If so, then I see no "alsamixergui" [19:45] fosco_: How do I install and executa another window manager [19:45] mrluap: bridge devices do not need IPs at all but devices on both sides should have compatible configuration [19:45] ikonia: one could also say "if you want to provide support, do it here" [19:46] lipinski, just try sudo apt-get install openbox && openbox [19:46] i have other systems that have been running for years and done just fine with upgrades and such and they don't have these packages. [19:46] raylu: if i don't know that which files are new, then can subversion help me to detects they? [19:46] raylu: what do you think I'm doing, if you want to fix his problem 0 fix it [19:46] I DON'T have: "System → Administration → Network" [19:46] fosco_: thanks. Will try that.

[19:46] Anyone here able to help me get online using Wi-fi? I have the driver loaded. [19:46] How can I change the name of my computer and its network [19:46] AJC_Z0: former jareth_ ? [19:46] ikonia: that's alright :D multiple people providing support to one person is usually bad [19:46] raylu: yeah, true, i guess. [19:46] shams: again, update your local sandbox or update the repository? [19:46] !k3b | Vhghost [19:46] Vhghost: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [19:46] shams: in both cases, yes [19:46] raylu: and yet you chipped in [19:47] ikonia: to you, not to him [19:47] it's just a bit annoying with some of these dependencies that i have no interest in and don't need. [19:47] Thank you!!! [19:47] raylu: how? [19:47] lunaphyte_: yeah. i've already gotten rid of both :P [19:47] shams: for the third time, update your local sandbox or update the remote repository? [19:47] Any ideas ?? [19:47] raylu: with a pointless comment - I asked the state of his machine, as I said if you want to try to help, help, if you want an ego contest, do it else where [19:47] fosco_: that worked, and gave me window title bars again (so now I can move stuff). How do I find what went wrong? [19:47] raylu: How do I get online with Wi-Fi, once I have the driver loaded? [19:47] raylu: thanks - that answers my question :) [19:47] ikonia: hey [19:48] hai guys is there a room for alterative wm like openbox here ? [19:48] ikonia: I install samba and works [19:48] lipinski, ummm difficult, strace metacity --replace and report a bug with the info it shows [19:48] ikonia: again, i spoke to you, not him, about the way in which you were providing support. i don't want to confuse him (or "help," as you put it) since you are already helping him [19:48] lunaphyte_: well the other packages are supposed to depend on packages they really need... so the chances of new packages appearing that you actually want are slim [19:48] raylu: i copy a patch to my local working copy. but i don't know which of patch files are new, that i can add they. i want to know how can subversion detects new files automatically [19:48] gyron31: does "iwlist scan" show what you want?

[19:51] zelhar: do you have System->Preferences->Main menu"? [19:51] psudo: so you'll need a deb building with the correct dependencies for ubuntu, maybe drop them a note explaining your request [19:52] can anyone help with a bt878 capture card? [19:52] :raylu I have /boot setup different then other ppl, due to my Gentoo install on another partition. [19:52] how can i increase the size of my ubuntu partition?

[20:43] Is there a fix for nautilus taking over my processor? [20:43] Yup. [20:43] Tired of killing it all the time. :-P [20:43] "sudo adduser username" will add a normal user, that can only make/delete dir/files in home/username/. and can run any application install onto ubuntu. am i correct? [20:43] Jack_Sparrow, IMHO it would be a good idea to implement a separately colored window border or something that delineated gksudo apps from user apps [20:43] we're having a hard time determining whether the hw RAID makes a lot of difference in a dual quad-xeon context? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [20:43] rickross hardware raid wins every time [20:43] jack_Sparrow: nothing outside of the repos, this is a relatively clean system, only set it up about a month ago [20:44] which packet is needed for firestarter to provide dhcp (server-function) [20:44] Caduceus, does iwconfig you show something about a wireless card ? [20:44] JackSparrow: have you tested yourself, or read any useful benchmark reports? [20:44] recon61 kernel panics are not that common on clean installs.. any overheating issues? [20:44] rickross I have used many of both... I wont do softraid anything [20:44] Jack_Sparrow: the kernel panics are network related, always happen when i'm using the web [20:45] It says no wireless extensions [20:45] recon61 wireless with ndiswrapper? [20:46] Caduceus, I'm googling to solve your problem but it might take a while [20:46] rickross we have a #ubuntu-server channel if that helps, but a bit slower response than here [20:46] how/where do I mount a SD card with the "tifm" module? [20:46] Jack_Sparrow: perfect, thx [20:46] np [20:47] lo all... I need to fill in my tax form on-line... it uses adobe forms... but when I open it, firefox just wants to download it [20:47] how can I get it to work as it's supposed to? [20:47] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu network manager setup on a wpa secured network using a product: RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI card [20:47] lol: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j271/toki_chu/0003yzs8.jpg [20:47] I can wait AutoMatriX =) [20:47] recon61 that rt have native linux drivers? [20:48] Caduceus, 09/09/2007, à 21:01 a guy was writing he would bring back the stick to the store and have it exchanged [20:48] jack_sparrow yeah, not sure why it's doing that. [20:49] Jack_Sparrow: the install set everything up, I did not mess around with it [20:49] recon61 Ok.. if you can drop wpa for a bit and try it, it may help you figure this out [20:49] so i guess its not compatible? :O [20:49] argh this is driving me nuts [20:50] Omoikane__ you can try and purge and reinstall ff [20:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=244-u9XzbkI - improvising [20:50] having probs with with your wireless?

[20:51] Jack_sparrow yeah, just can't lose any of my bookmarks [20:51] err ubuntu sorry [20:51] Newbie Question: i need to add a user. let's say username=user123. the user will only be able to navigate in /home/user123 and down, not up. and the user will be able to make/remove dir and make/remove files in /home/user123 and down. the user should only have access to use one session of screen (i know it doesnt make any sense to make two sessions of screen) but i want there to be a forced limit so only one session of screen can be run, [20:51] Omoikane__ easy enough to export and sdave them [20:51] which wireless card you got? [20:52] does anyone here use rtorrent with ntorrent im getting this output when starting ntorrent http://pastebin.com/m3c772eae [20:52] Jack_Sparrow: well what can you do, I would have let the network open myself and not bothered with wpa === Octoroks_ is now known as Octoroks [20:52] recon61 understood... perhaps try a different network or a direct connect etc [20:53] Hello room, I want to reinstall UbuntuStudio with apt-get, how do I do this? I can't find the answer on the internet [20:53] which wirless card if any are you using? [20:53] Hello room, Over write so to speak. [20:53] Hey, I'm trying to boot my Ubuntu 8.1 (That was working yesterday) but it gets to "init: Error parsing configuration: Not a directory" then "Kernel panic - not syncing Attempted to kill init!" [20:54] almark1 You must have looked very hard.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy [20:55] Jack_Sparrow: that site is how I upgraded to it, I tried to type that again, but it will not reinstall. [20:55] almark1: apt-get install --reinstall [20:56] onetinsoldier: just apt-get update --reinstall? [20:56] Jack_Sparrow: thx for the interest anyway, think I will have to setup a duel boot system. xp to use the Internet until kernel is updated and serial monkey drivers are added. might fix it [20:56] almark1: apt-get install --reinstall [20:57] WHICH WIRELESS CARD YOU USING? [20:57] onetinsoldier: thank you :) [20:57] almark1: yw [20:58] anyone know how to get rid of /dev/mapper/asdasd_RAID_Volume11 [20:58] Hi everyone [20:58] !Hi [20:58] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:58] I have a machive connected to Internet via pptp VPN. Ubuntu does not have pptp-linux installed. What is correct way to install it, without downoading whole repository? I mean, how do I know the full dependency tree of it? [20:59] onetinsoldier: How do i reinstall this sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt [20:59] is there any way to install python 2.6 for synaptic [21:00] almark1 reolace install with... reinstall ? [21:00] onetinsoldier: there is no install in that string [21:01] how do I install aptitude from inside ubuntu? go to the console and type ....? [21:01] How do i reinstall this sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude WHAT IS THIS install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt [21:01] almark1: the you're using aptitude there instead of apt-get. hang on [21:01] Quagmire install aptitude? [21:01] onetinsoldier: sorry [21:01] yes [21:01] thats what I have heard is the best for ubuntu [21:02] Quagmire My question would be how it got removed? [21:02] K3B seems to be VERY slow in burning a DVD. According to the speed it reports, it's burning at 0.70 speed. Is this known or am i doing something wrong? [21:02] Jack_Sparrow, you mean how aptitude isn't installed? [21:02] Quagmire go to term and type sudo aptitude install thunar [21:02] hischild right [21:03] Um. [21:03] hischild: dma ... that's too slow... [21:03] Quagmire tell me if you have any errors [21:03] !dma [21:03] dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hardware transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA [21:03] anyone have python 2.6 running on ubuntu? [21:03] almark1: you can start aptitude, with just the command aptitude. then use the / key to search for those package names, and mark them for re-installation the the L key... then press G to start the re-install of them all [21:03] Jack_Sparrow, i've noticed that on minimal installs it isn't installed. It also has a load of more dependencies then apt. === AlexC is now known as Guest74234 [21:04] onetinsoldier: ah good thanks :) [21:04] Jack_Sparrow, it can be installed without problems though. It seems to work just flawlessly. [21:04] Quagmire there is little difference between ubuntu's apt-get and aptitude, subtle differences yes.. [21:04] is there a work around/fix for the issue with partial upgrade and the ppa open office 3 packages? [21:04] almark1: you're welcome [21:04] beyond switching back to 2.x [21:04] hischild It should already be in there [21:04] raylu: I am about to install Network Manager 0.7.0 and see if that fixes the problem. I need to find out first though, how to install GNU gettext tools [21:05] I am having a very difficult time getting my local ubuntu 8.04 computer to act as a print server, [21:05] Jack_Sparrow, a presume a minimal install would be as light as possible? Seeing as aptitude has loads more dependencies, i can see why it isn't in there. Server installs also don't seem to have it. [21:05] Quagmire did that command install thunar as I expected? [21:06] Guest74234: did you open a port for it to act as a server? [21:06] hischild I didnt see anything to reflect he had a minimal or server install [21:06] nope it gave me some errors [21:06] are there such things as workgroups on linux? [21:06] Quagmire it would help to know the error [21:07] !info thunar [21:07] thunar (source: thunar): File Manager for Xfce. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.0-10ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 216 kB, installed size 704 kB [21:07] sorry I think it may have had to do with me installing updates [21:07] Jack_Sparrow, Odd. I would ask for confirmation with any other person, but seeing you being much more experienced. [21:07] Quagmire do you have universe enabled if not we can try a different app [21:07] I have side by side an Ubunto 8.04 and a Red Hat EL ES 4 machine. I have set up a server at a remote location to print to my printer named alex. alex is connected to lpd://myIpAddr/lp19. If I direct my router to forward port 515 to my Red Hat machine, it prints perfectly. If I forward port 515 to my ububtu machine, it does not. [21:07] :) [21:07] I'll let it get finished [21:07] i cant get my laptop to show up on the network in ubuntu [21:08] My system and cups logs do not show any indication of an incoming print job being refused. [21:08] I have a machine connected to Internet via pptp VPN. Ubuntu does not have pptp-linux installed. What is correct way to install it, without downoading whole repository?

Anyway, let's stick to the topics around. [21:11] Octoroks the debs you download are in /var/cache/apt/archives, but that is not where they install to..

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 [21:36] but that would seem to be a little more advanced for my use [21:37] hay [21:37] Quagmire: it's quite similar to apt-get [21:37] is apt-get also a command line app [21:37] Quagmire, it's the same use as apt-get, but there are more functions you can use.

[22:11] i installed through livecd's graphical install [22:11] Talked in dark terms about preparing for demise of mouse and of Ubuntu and the things began to play better together. [22:11] Slart, ummm i dont think so. i did however select alsa under the sound settings [22:12] i made them all alsa under system>pref>sound [22:12] Zackfett: well, i don't understand what's wrong i guess.. when are you getting the error messages?

[22:12] yao_ziyuan: there is ubuntu version of 3.0 for intrepid already in ppa [22:12] i dont have a photographic memory [22:12] Wicked: I don't think it is this way by default but to get flash working with pulseaudio in intrepid I ran "asoundconf set-pulseaudio" to undo that if you ran it you run "asoundconf unset-pulseaudio" [22:13] so i dont know the exact words [22:13] Wicked: it's hard to say something final without knowing what the mixer looked like before and after.. [22:13] <_eXeCuTeR> please help guys, i've been trying to install bochs for hours!!! [22:13] Zackfett: yes.. and that's from booting from a cd/dvd. now, how are you going to install? from dvd/cd drive.. correct? [22:13] how can i get the list of currently installed packages?

[22:15] Zackfett: i ended up wiping all partitions from my hard drive [22:15] what program would i use to convert .3g2 files to one of these .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv [22:15] ah alright, thanks Jordan_U [22:15] _eXeCuTeR: terminal [22:15] worldcitizen: np [22:15] <_eXeCuTeR> lol of course [22:15] _eXeCuTeR: sudo sh [22:15] why can't I seem to watch DVDs and/or RIP them on any of my ubuntu boxes any more? tried every client (xine, mplayer, vlc, etc.). they play fine on windows [22:15] oh and on my BSOD i saw that it said the cd format is invalid [22:16] <_eXeCuTeR> but how...sh install-sh didn't know, ./install-sh neither [22:16] hmm...is this a good idea gnutron ? or is it gonna possible mess things up? [22:16] _eXeCuTeR: sudo sh drag and drop the sh file [22:16] _eXeCuTeR How to run a .sh file? Run script with the command ./file.sh or .bin , it must be set executable, chmod u+x file [22:16] _eXeCuTeR: Whait before you do that [22:16] Zackfett: and the used a utility called 'unetbootin' in order to make a bootable usb memory stick with the live cd/installer on it in orderto install 8.10 [22:16] _eXeCuTeR: What was the problem with the version of bochs from the repositories ( synaptic / apt-get ) ? [22:17] <_eXeCuTeR> it is not a .sh file [22:17] <_eXeCuTeR> it's a install-sh [22:17] ha. when i killall pulseaudio ...i can get the normal alsamixer....i think i just needed to stop pulse audio from starting when gnome does.

[22:17] ok, I'm not a Debian person. Why is rc.local missing? Where should it be? [22:18] Wicked: sound is fine now without pulse [22:18] Hello, I need some help! Somehow my Network mask in the connection manager is stuck at 22. If I change it and try to apply, it says the connection is read only. I can't access the Internet, so I need help soon please. [22:18] Zackfett: i know... so i don't know what's going ot happen with you. perhaps you can find a way to boot from the installer image while it's still on your hard drive or something. i dunno what you will end up doing to get 8.10 installed. but perhaps you will find a way [22:18] derek: /etc/rc.local [22:18] guido van rossum is here at UDS giving a speech :) [22:18] its not there . . . hmm [22:18] Zackfett: i wish you luck though!

Normally rc.local on Ubuntu is empty and unused? [22:21] _eXeCuTeR sudo apt-get install program.. and please understand what I have told you so far [22:21] oh and btw does anyone know when jaunty jackolope will be out?

[23:03] tripps: okay and have you done sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh ? [23:03] mrwes, there were issues with those packages, don't know if only the hardy version, or also the intrepid version, or both - they might come later [23:03] it may just be tht i need to add some lines to my xorg.conf, but yesterday someone said we dont use xorg.conf anymore and to make all changes via xrandr [23:03] for some reason linux changed my network from Manual DHCP to Automatic...what is the best way to change it back to a manual DHCP? [23:03] LjL, I have OO 3.0 installed on my Ibex laptop, seems to work Ok, but they're not availabel for Hardy [23:04] hey, I'm having problems fetching .deb packages for build essential. I can't install them cause I get a 404 object not found when the files are there on the site. [23:04] worldcitizen-> use wget to fetch it [23:04] worldcitizen: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [23:04] LjL; do you see some of the improvements made with wireless in Ibex making their way to Hardy? [23:04] any ideas on what would cause my video to pause for a few moments (locking EVERYTHING up) then resume as normal this happens 3-4 times per 1 hour of film [23:05] how do I print a chm document? opening it and Print... does not work, nor I receive any error, just the printer doesn't start printing... [23:06] I have darkroom theme installed and all of it works save the Window Border which shows white. Am I missing the proper gtk engine for it? If so which one? thanks. [23:06] If I have a directory and associated files/subdirs that are owned by me and has an owner of www-data and I delete everything except the top level directory, how do I unzip a file such that the owner and group are still me and www-data, respectively. Right now, when I unzip a file and it expands, the owner and group are all set to me. [23:07] never mind found the issue [23:07] LjL: http://pastebin.com/d1cb5bcf5 [23:07] * tripps wonders what happened to ziroday :( [23:07] differ xchm [23:08] worldcitizen: it looks right, it must be some sort of problem with the US mirror, try changing mirrors and then updating [23:08] diffred, are you using xCHM? [23:08] diffred [23:08] hi all, my monitor is giving x the wrong info with its EDID signals, how can i get x to change what it knows about my LCD? [23:08] mrwes: yep [23:09] LjL: I can't seem to install anything actually. even for update manager [23:09] hrmm...that has printing facilities [23:09] mrwes: yes I've seen it, but when I click print the printer doesn't start printing lol [23:09] mrwes: while printing pdf files yes... [23:09] modumass: manually configure xorg [23:10] LjL: how can I switch mirrors? [23:11] worldcitizen: by changing all the leading "http://us." in your sources.list into some other country code, like se. [23:11] well ziroday is gone, but I did what he asked me to do and still get same messages when trying to play DVDs, etc. [23:11] anyone have ideas? [23:11] worldcitizen: system - administration - software sources [23:11] wobblywu: i think Software Sources also has some functionality to change country mirror [23:11] tripps:using vlc [23:11] diffred it works [23:12] gwennn: nope, thats the problem lol [23:12] DasEi, yeh thats what i have been trying to do, but really i have no understanding of xorg.conf, or what should be in there and i cant seem to find any examples of working xorg.conf files [23:12] diffred, I think you need to convert them to PDF so you can print the complete file out [23:13] diffred, google Ubuntu Chm to PDF [23:13] modumass: using hardy or ibex [23:13] mrwes: yes, I've already done it with chm2pdf, but it really sucks, the pdf file is really messed up in alignments, fonts, margins... [23:13] DasEi, using VLC, xine, mplayer, all of them [23:13] DasEi, Ibex now. no probs in hardy or before === ardchoille__ is now known as ardchoille [23:14] I need some help, somehow the connection manager says the my network mask is stuck at 22, and if I try to change it, it says the connection is read only. I can't connect to the internet, and making another connection doesn't work either (It gets stuck at 24). [23:14] DasEi, this is the current xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d2afb9477 [23:15] modumass: so I have to look up myself, as my machine is under heavy load right now, can I call you back in 10 min [23:15] Hey everyone [23:15] no vid player plays DVD on any of my ubuntu heron systems, though I used to be able to play them fine. restricted pkgs installed, ugly gstreamer libdvdread all installed fine [23:15] DasEi, yeh no stress, im googling solutions anyway, but any help would be aweseome [23:16] modumass: call ya soon [23:16] tripps, google "10 things to do once you have installed 8.10" [23:16] DasEi, thnks [23:16] <_RadioHead> hello ppl.i need advice for a server [23:16] i extracted rawtherapee and it made a directory with an executable file that just runs the program...how come i cant make a working launcher linked to that file? [23:16] hello everyone, i am looking for a good program for ubuntu 8.11 to create iso files from a cd, does anyone have any a favorite which is easy to use [23:16] tripps, it had a section on installing whyateve needs to be installed toi play dvds and wmvs [23:16] diffred, try this howto http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-to-html-or-pdf-files.html [23:17] mrwes: thanks, gonna read it [23:17] modumass, googling [23:17] hello guys [23:17] diffred, seems, believe it or not, you have to go to html, then to PDF...sigh [23:17] will updating to 8.10 mess with my menu.lst? if not, could this pose other problems for a dual boot system? [23:17] Does anyone has experience with Code::Blocks in Linux? [23:18] I've noticed, in my system with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, which has two cores at 2.66GHz, the system says both cores have a max of 800 MHz (and a minimum of 600 MHz). In dmesg, I see " Detected 2666.604 MHz processor." so that's correct, but then /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies says "800000 600000" which is obviously wrong. I've seen some speedstep-... modules, but couldn't decide which to load, most of them give [23:18] I can't download packages from any mirror it looks like. I think I'm having an issue with the package downloader? [23:18] i extracted rawtherapee and it made a directory with an executable file that just runs the program...how come i cant make a working launcher linked to that file? [23:18] <_RadioHead> i want to install slackware or ubuntu as a server / file server (samba) BUT problem is that i need to share a folder that users can write files and folders BUT ca not delete them ? is it possible with samba? [23:18] EdSquareCat: it will not mess with your menu.lst further than your current system already does - so there will be no problems. [23:19] worldcitizen: any errors you are getting? [23:19] Anybody know anything about NVidia driver 177 not installing? I've tried both with the built-in Hardware Driver and Envy. Envy has a python error and I just never get past 0% with the built in driver manager [23:19] ultratek: why can't you? what is going wrong? [23:19] okay, thanks dazjorz [23:19] Guillotine: could you try installing on the terminal and pastebinning the output? [23:19] modumass, following instructions. hopefully it works. i'll report back [23:19] dazjorz, maybe the speed indicator is an old one? As a programmer this is very normal to happen [23:19] tripps, good luck man, ,mine panned out [23:20] modumass, did notice that medibuntu, etc., were no longer selected under my repo sources tho. strange [23:20] dazjorz: it says Failed to fetch: 404 object not found [23:20] nordin: /proc/cpuinfo should never display an incorrect value IIRC [23:20] worldcitizen: could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list somewhere? [23:20] dazjorz: http://pastebin.com/m5f3c2b7b [23:20] dazjorz: well when i extracted rawtherapee it just extracted and not installed but the extraction is a working program...however i cannot create a working launcher for it on my desktop [23:20] http://pastebin.com/d1cb5bcf5 [23:20] tripps, yeh when you upgrade from one release to another i think it unselects restricted repos [23:20] is there somewhere a nice long review of little bit comparison of many linux distro? :) im just interested [23:20] dazjorz, could be, but what kind of OS do you have?> [23:20] ultratek, did you use the FULL path in the launcher? [23:20] yes [23:21] ultratek, check the ownership of the executable file [23:21] mrwes: it is extracted to my documents folder [23:21] does anyone heard about ubuntu installation not showing disk with vista partition on it? [23:21] <_RadioHead> anyone any idea? [23:21] nordin: I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, uname shows Linux dazjorz-desktop 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [23:21] mrwes: how so? [23:21] hello all [23:21] ultratek, right mouse button on the file and the permissions [23:21] Hey guys, why is it that in Ubuntu I cannot edit any configuration files within the home folder of the user I am currently logged in as? I have to prepend sudo even if I do nano -w ~/random.txt [23:22] Any ideas? [23:22] Guillotine: Let me have a look, one second. [23:22] ultratek, make sure is executable too [23:22] mrwes: i mean it is extracted to my user to my /home/ultratek/ [23:22] Does anyone know of a gedit plugin or native command to open/run a file: I'm writing an html website and it's quite tedious to exit gedit and open the folder and run the .html file and select display each time... any help/advice!? [23:22] dazjorz, to be honest I don't have much experience with Linux. But with a dual core or a quad core, there should be serious modifications in a Linux kernel for such a hwardware type [23:22] or processor type [23:22] mrwes: I don't understand the last step, I have a folder /outdir which has a lot of files, which unique file html should I call in htmldoc? there's no unique html file [23:23] I Have a question, everyone tells me 'your mime.types" for my problem, but no one can give me a damned answer. My server, I am hosting a webpage, when you load it instead of loading the page it tries to download it, anyone know a fix for this problem? I've re-installed php, apache2, all of that [23:23] Guillotine: could you run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-177-modaliases nvidia-glx-177 [23:23] can someone tell me how to install flash player on ubuntu? [23:23] nordin: No no, Linux understands it fine, I'm sure [23:23] nordin: It's just that the frequency of my specific system doesn't seem to be correctly recognised [23:23] mrwes: what permissions should be set? [23:23] where can i get upsplash [23:23] nordin: Linux supports up to 64 cores, if I remember correctly, even. [23:23] wiehan: no need to exit gedit just to view the file in a browser.. just save and load with Firefox [23:24] I need some help, somehow the connection manager says the my network mask is stuck at 22, and if I try to change it, it says the connection is read only. I can't connect to the internet, and making another connection doesn't work either (It gets stuck at 24). [23:24] dazjorz, yes. even more if needed, though no motherboard supports that many yet [23:24] pretto [23:24] yes [23:24] hischild: yeah :) [23:24] How do I check what user owns a file? [23:24] mib_asgxw4, can you be a bit more specific? Like give the total mask and what class network? [23:24] wiehan: there are also other html editors that allow you to hand code and incorporates a preview window.. [23:24] !html | wiehan [23:24] wiehan: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [23:24] gwennn, any solution so far? === jgoguen1 is now known as jgoguen [23:25] hischild: It says the whole mask is just plain 22. It's a wired connection. [23:25] I Have a question, everyone tells me 'your mime.types" for my problem, but no one can give me a damned answer. My server, I am hosting a webpage, when you load it instead of loading the page it tries to download it, anyone know a fix for this problem? I've re-installed php, apache2, all of that, anyone know how I can fix it? [23:25] mrwes: owner is set to me with read and right...group is set to me with read only...and other is set to read only...under permissions [23:25] webas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distros & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions to start [23:25] Scunizi: Well, I meant I just minimize gedit, and that is irritating after each and every small change in the code, I want a plugin that can open the file I'm working on in firefox with a hotkey. And Gedit is the best, if you know what you are doing you don't need those sillybells and whistles of fancy html editors... [23:25] wiehan: of course not [23:25] wiehan: that's what vim is for :D [23:25] mib_asgxw4, masks are usually 255.255.0.0 or something to this liking. Can you pastebin the output of ifconfig? [23:26] linux recovery cd [23:26] wiehan: bells and whistles like guis are overrated [23:26] okay thanks edsquarecat nice nick btw :D === Niamor7 is now known as Niamor [23:26] dazjorz, ok, I was thinking how the proc/cpuinfo gets the data. But that's very low level I guess. maybe still interpretted the wrong way. [23:26] raylu: I agree.. but can I set up gedit to run the file I'm working on with the stroke of a hotkey? [23:26] haha thanks [23:26] nordin: /proc/cpuinfo gets it directly from the kernel's information [23:26] nordin: from the kernel. querying the motherboard at bootup, i presume [23:26] nordin: also, it matches with what the power deamons think - even though dmesg shows it's correctly recognised at first [23:26] wiehan: can i set up *gedit* or vim? [23:26] write* [23:27] dazjorz: sudo apt-get install nvidia-177-modaliases nvidia-glx-177 completed properly [23:27] raylu: what do you mean? [23:27] modumass: first back up your old xorg [23:27] wiehan: are you asking me whether or not it's possible with gedit [23:27] raylu, dazjorz ok that's clear. But didn't you say that somewhere else you were reading the right speed? [23:27] raylu: I need a plugin of some sort, any ideas? [23:27] what is xorg? [23:27] wiehan: or did you mean vim? [23:27] install first ubuntu,resize and copy on the tail then reinstall vista but for me was a strange virus... [23:27] raylu: ok, is it possible in vim then [23:27] Guillotine: Now reboot, and you'll have nvidia 177 loaded. Note that Ubuntu has a "restricted hardware manager" which will do these things automatically for you. :) [23:27] wiehan: no [23:27] hello, anybody can help me bout flashplugin? [23:28] wiehan: check this page and scroll down to Browser Plugin.. this might be what you want.. http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins [23:28] hischild: Sorry, but I'm using a windows boot right now to talk to you. I did check that though, and it said 255.255.252.0, which I changed to 255.255.255.0, which is my netmask. The connection manager seems to insist that it is 22 though. Any attempt to change that value seems to be fine, but then it gives an error about the connection being read-only when I try to apply it. [23:28] nordin: Yes, dmesg, kernel boot messages [23:28] dazjorz: much <3. Thanks a lot! [23:28] !flash [23:28] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:28] !mime.type [23:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about mime.type [23:28] !mime [23:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about mime [23:28] nordin: so the kernel notices the CPU's, and it says "I found a 2667 MHz CPU", then it boots, and it says the CPU's are 800 MHz [23:28] Guest59151: no problem :) [23:29] dazjorz, well that's odd. dmesg shows the right info and /proc/cpuinfo not...? [23:29] now if i make a link to a executable file inside a folder and move that new link to my desktop it wont work...how come? anyone? [23:29] dazjorz, considered power saving options? [23:29] ahaaa ok [23:29] modumass: ? [23:29] mib_asgxw4, that can be cause you're trying to edit as user, not as root. [23:29] i have been download and installing flashplugin, but why this not working if i open youtube? [23:29] hischild: Available frequencies are 600 MHz and 800 MHz [23:29] I'm just playing with my brand new eee :) Is it worth to install ubuntu on it? [23:29] hischild: nope, I tried that too [23:30] hischild: so yeah, I've considered, but I prefer my cores to be able to run at 2667 MHz [23:30] eee901 [23:30] mib_asgxw4, tried the command line way? [23:30] what solution for that case [23:30] dazjorz, stress tested it? [23:30] hischild: it won't switch to 2667 if it says that's not one of the available frequencies :/ [23:30] dazjorz, wait a minute, at boot up, de kernel fetches the right speed, but proc/cpuinfo gets it from the kernel. So in the kernel there must be bug like a wrong variable type [23:30] dazjorz, it might still do it, despite it not saying it can do it === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen1 === jgoguen1 is now known as jgoguen_ [23:31] ? [23:31] nordin: something is messing up, but I'm sure it's not a bug like a wrong variable type === jgoguen_ is now known as jgoguen [23:31] hischild: powersaved is the daemon which will change CPU frequencies in software, and if powersaved doesn't think it can switch to 2667 MHz, it won't - but I'll try anyway [23:31] hischild: ifconfig tells me the eth0 is configured properly, it just seems to be the network manager that is messed up. I did use gksudo instead of just sudo to run the network manager though, would that cause a problem? [23:31] catting urandom to zero and checking frequencies... [23:31] dazjorz, could it be some settings for speed? as Linux is fully configurable, I won't suprise if it is [23:32] !ping [23:32] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [23:32] mib_asgxw4, no, that's good. any graphical application should be run using gksudo, not sudo. [23:32] hischild: one core at 600 MHz, the other at 800 MHz [23:32] ubottu can you help? [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about can you help? [23:32] dazjorz, cat /dev/urandom | /dev/null gives you that? [23:32] dazjorz, ahaa ok, there it is, powerconsumption [23:32] dazjorz, with both cores at max cpu? [23:32] hischild: cat /dev/urandom >/dev/null running in background, then cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:32] modumass: ? [23:33] hischild: no, only one, it's a dual-core system, only one core will run that command because they are configured individually [23:33] Ok, I have ubuntu 8.10 installed (and installed the package kubuntu-desktop , So I have the kde interface running), And I am trying to give it a look of knoppix (with the artwiz cursor), Yet my system doesn't support bitmap 'fonts' as they have been 'disabled', Is there anyway I can enable it? === nosbig__ is now known as nosbig [23:33] you should do something cpu-intensive and see if the clock changes back to the maximum [23:33] nordin: just did that [23:33] dazjorz, run it 3 times please, then check again. [23:33] nordin: the problem is: [23:33] dazjorz, yes... [23:33] nordin: the cpu is at first correctly recognized, but later, something messes up so it's not recognized correctly anymore [23:33] mib_asgxw4, can you pastebin the data ifconfig gives you? or is that on this pc? [23:33] hello [23:33] I think one speedstep module is missing or so [23:33] is there no adobe flash-plugin available for 8.10 amd64 through apt-get? [23:33] if anyone uses kubuntu [23:34] can you please put on pastebin your "kubuntu.desktop" file [23:34] list [23:34] dazjorz, I fully understand now. But do you encounter performance lost somehow? [23:34] nordin: so - if it recognises it correctly, it should say "available frequencies: 800 MHz, 1600 MHz, 2667 MHz" or something like that, just imagining random values below the max now [23:34] for xsessions [23:34] hischild: It is on this PC, but I can switch over to ubuntu to try. [23:34] does anybody here use a dell mini 9? [23:34] nordin: But it doesn't recognize the CPU correctly, so it falls back to 600 MHz 800 MHz [23:34] dazjorz, yes I agree with you about that [23:34] mib_asgxw4, have you tried to run dhclient manually? [23:35] can anyone please do this [23:35] wow...so far ubuntu "just works". even dual monitors with the nvidia driver. i'm impressed :) [23:35] epswing_, amazing eh ... [23:35] !enter | ChaosTheory_ [23:35] ChaosTheory_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:35] hischild: each time before I run it, both cores are at 600 MHz, then when I run it, one of both jumps to 800 MHz, and when I quit it they fall back to 600 MHz [23:35] dazjorz, so, does the kernel also operate on that speed? or is it just a wrong presentation, well actually not according to you [23:35] hischild: except totem :) [23:35] hischild: yes [23:35] hello, can someone please post their kubuntu.desktop file into pastebin and give me the link [23:36] ChaosTheory_, and it would be wise to ask in #kubuntu :) [23:36] Since running an apt-get update in the past couple of days, my mouse pointer has started constantly drifting to the right. Anyone else having this problem? :/ [23:36] dazjorz, sorry a bit late with my assumptions [23:36] dazjorz, open 3 terminals, run the command on those 3 terminals, then open a 4th and check cpu on that one. also get a 5th terminal to open up top to check cpu usage. [23:36] hischild: um.. no. How would I do that? [23:36] well that's very strange [23:36] Hey guys, why is it that in Ubuntu I cannot edit any configuration files within the home folder of the user I am currently logged in as? I have to prepend sudo even if I do nano -w ~/random.txt or I cannot save the actual file. any idea? [23:36] nordin: I am quite sure the CPU's actually run at 800 MHz, but that's just basic feeling on how Linux should work [23:36] ideas* [23:36] mib_01xrv40g, no problem on my end. it all just works [23:36] hischild: I've got two cpu applets which display the same values as cpuinfo [23:36] but ok, lemme do that for a moment :) [23:37] ChaosTheory_, sorry I can not be of further help, as I am not using kde at the moment [23:37] i can stop it by doing modprobe -r psmouse, but it comes back every reboot [23:37] Paddy_EIRE: OK thanks [23:37] anyone? [23:37] mib_asgxw4, run this command --> sudo dhclient [23:37] whats a good program to install login splash screens? [23:38] hischild: running three processes at once, 100% usage, both cores at 800 MHz [23:38] dazjorz, tried disabling the powersaving thing all together? would keep your CPU's maxed all the time, possibly not lowing them that low [23:38] dazjorz, and your dual core is really 2.2..GHz each or together? [23:38] the default login preferences under administration refuses to install my login screens [23:38] Help, toem plays vids in wrong colors (Blueish). Any ideas?.

[23:39] dazjorz: have you got the colour correction set strange [23:39] dazjorz, no not kill it, disable it from starting up on reboot, then reboot. [23:39] dazjorz, well you have a really fast dual core processor, is it intel? [23:39] 32 bits or 64 ? [23:39] dazjorz, the kernel needs to be unaware of the power saving. [23:39] nordin, i've seen faster quad cores then that, it's nothing special anymore. [23:39] is this where i can get help with ubuntu? [23:39] devilinops, yes [23:39] hischild: i mean i don't like it [23:40] gaminggeek: I'm sorry? [23:40] how to enable mutiverse repository? [23:40] nordin: 64 bits, but I'm running 32 bits Ubuntu [23:40] dazjorz, well I have to keep an eye on the developement I guess [23:40] hischild: hmm... :/ [23:40] mib_01xrv40g, that's somethign really different eh :-) opinions [23:40] daz???? [23:40] hello can someone please post their kubuntu.desktop file to pastebin [23:40] !repositories | oshin [23:40] oshin: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:40] hischild: Ok, i'll try that, hopefully get back to you soon [23:40] okay [23:40] ok well i need help when ever i install it dosent work on my comp or any adm comp i tryed it on [23:40] mib_asgxw4, take your time. [23:40] dazjorz: can you helpme? [23:40] dazjorz, well there is the problem I think! [23:40] ChaosTheory_: #kubuntu is where you should go [23:40] hischild: but this really seems to be a problem in the kernel, not any power saving daemon, since the power saving daemons just tell the kernel what to do [23:40] ultratek: I don't know, what's the problem? [23:40] hey all .. i've never really had the need to do this, but i'm looking for a GUI tool to organize my photos .. they're spread all over the place, and I want to find all JPGs and organize them with tags or whatever. Is there such a thing for Linux? [23:40] nordin: no :P [23:40] dazjorz, I'll tell you why! [23:40] nordin: it's perfectly possible to run a 32 bits OS on a 64 bits processor [23:41] nordin: please note that 32 bits processors have Intel Speedstep too [23:41] dazjorz, since the powersaving daemon tells the kernel the speed it should run at, i think it's also the daemon's fault [23:41] at least, when they are intel processors [23:41] well [23:41] hischild: yes, but the kernel tells the powersaving daemon what frequencies are supported by the CPU [23:41] dazjorz, of course its possible.. and recommended for almost everyone too [23:41] is there a light taskbar that supports drag and drop? [23:41] !info | pypanel [23:41] pypanel is not a valid distribution ['dapper', 'feisty', 'feisty-backports', 'gutsy', 'gutsy-backports', 'hardy', 'hardy-backports', 'intrepid', 'intrepid-backports', 'jaunty', 'jaunty-backports', 'kde4-ppa', 'medibuntu', 'partner'] [23:41] pypanel: Retrieve information on a package: !info [23:42] hmm [23:42] dazjorz, the kernel recognizes it good, at least from what i read before it tells you what speeds it runs at. Then the powersaving daemon takes over, which is where it goes wrong [23:42] !pm | devilinops [23:42] devilinops: 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. [23:42] Paddy_EIRE: naah, only if you want to run the official Flash player and things like that [23:42] HURFS: drag and drop in what sense? fluxbox works pretty well [23:42] dazjorz: when i make a link to an executable file in a folder and move that link to my desktop it will not execute the file...why? [23:42] ubottu: my problem is i have been install flash-plugin but why it still not worked [23:42] Paddy_EIRE: 64 bits is much faster than 32 bits on a 64 bits CPU [23:42] modumass: ? [23:42] hischild: I don't think so, but let's try and find out [23:42] hey all .. i've never really had the need to do this, but i'm looking for a GUI tool to organize my photos .. they're spread all over the place, and I want to find all JPGs and organize them with tags or whatever. Is there such a thing for Linux? [23:42] dazjorz, that is not the point [23:42] dazjorz, that's my theory on this problem :-) [23:42] dazjorz, I don't know if you program C, but an "unsigned int" on a 64 bits processor is 64 bits wide, while on a 32 bits kernel it's 32 bits wide. So if a kernel is compiled for a 64 bits, there are serious differences. Anyway...a whole story, but there areally differences [23:42] ultratek-> list it and see if the link still points to the correct path [23:43] cr4z3d: drag and drop as in rearanging the programs order displayed in the tab [23:43] I have a problem with changing home directory for user accounts used for SSH (more specifically the SFTP part of SSH). I've asked here and in #openssh several times with no response and also in Ubuntuforums. *Someone* has to know the answer so I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at my thread which explains the problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002948 [23:43] zonum: try f-spot it's included [23:43] dajorz: list it how [23:43] cr4z3d: displayed in the panel* [23:43] Paddy_EIRE: why is it recommended then? [23:43] dazjorz, anyway wrong channel to debate this.. in many cases unless it is *Required* 64 bit ubuntu is a performance knock [23:43] l i need help when ever i install ubuntu it dosent work on my comp or any amd comp i tryed it on if information on my system can help go to http://www.xfire.com/profile/devilinops/ [23:43] hischild: I've removed powernowd from the boot process, going to reboot in a minute to try. [23:43] HURFS: hmm that would be useful but i personally don't know any that do that [23:43] dazjorz, so values can be interpretted the wrong way [23:43] nordin, you can run a 64bit kernel with a 32bit OS. actually, it's recommended to do so on PS3 for some reasons. [23:43] nordin: I know there are differences [23:44] nordin: but this is a 32 bits kernel, and 64 bits processors are able to fall back to a 32 bits instruction set [23:44] no problem at all === aussie is now known as lahori [23:44] dazjorz, not fall back, only use 32bit of the available 64 :-) [23:44] Paddy_EIRE: do you want to talk about this in PM? :) [23:44] dazjorz, ahaa in that case if it can act like a 32 bits than my theory falls like a .... [23:44] hischild: the instruction set is different too? [23:44] dazjorz, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=616&num=1 [23:44] !pm | devilinops (this is the place, not pm) [23:44] devilinops (this is the place, not pm): 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. [23:45] hischild: mplayer ftw [23:45] hischild: or i would use totem if they drastically changed it [23:45] dazjorz, do you have an AMD or Intel? [23:45] dazjorz, from what i know, there are some, but the length is most important. [23:45] does anybody here use sonata? how can i get it to display artwork embedded in the file [23:45] ultratek: are you placing symlinks or .desktop links? [23:45] mib_01xrv40g, please ask a question in the channel, instead of telling random things to me. [23:45] i did ask in chanal i pm cuz no one helping [23:45] nordin: an Intel C2D E6750 which is even correctly named in /proc/cpuinfo [23:45] dazjorz:i guess desktop links [23:45] dazjorz, its an established fact already bud.. but my head is sore from the repetition.. read up on it.. there are polls and all on the forums and its heavily discussed on LP [23:45] let me pastebin the file for you all, that'll probably be better [23:46] ultratek: what does it say when you run it then? [23:46] Paddy_EIRE: ok, will check [23:46] dazjorz;it does nothing [23:46] !ask | devilinops [23:46] devilinops: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:46] name is just a bunch of characters...;) [23:46] ultratek: do you know how to get the contents of the file using your terminal? [23:46] dazjorz, although yeah 64 bit is technically superior [23:46] hischild: woops, sorry wrong channel [23:46] mib_01xrv40g, np [23:46] dazjorz, just not so much yet [23:46] i need help when ever i install ubuntu it dosent work on my comp or any amd comp i tryed it on if information on my system can help go to http://www.xfire.com/profile/devilinops/ [23:46] i know how to execute but no.. [23:46] Paddy_EIRE: will happen :) [23:47] dazjorz:iam trying to make a launcher for the program [23:47] dazjorz, I eagerly await it :) [23:47] ultratek: open a terminal, type "cd Desktop", then "cat [name-of-your-link].desktop", if you can't find the .desktop file, type 'ls' to get a listing, then find your file [23:47] dazjorz, well sorry boy, I can't help you much, you know more than I know :) [23:47] nordin: thanks for trying :) [23:47] appreciate the help and thoughts [23:47] dazjorz, not thanks [23:47] dazjorz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [23:47] i do have one question, why is it that compiz and opengl games don't run well together [23:48] nordin, hischild, http://pastebin.com/m450188a1 [23:48] dazjorz, I stand corrected quoted from the ubuntu docs "Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit. " [23:48] it even says "E6750 @ 2.66GHz", which is actually the model name also displayed exactly like that in the BIOS, cpu MHz says "800.000" [23:48] dazjorz, seems its already happened [23:48] Paddy_EIRE: ah great! :) [23:49] hello [23:49] hischild: I'm going to reboot now to check if this made any difference :) [23:49] dazjorz, ok. [23:49] dazjorz, how about cpu cooling. Can high temperature prevent running at a high clockrate? [23:49] hay ppl this the first day i use linux [23:49] nice one tood [23:50] Paddy_EIRE, i still prefer 32bit over 64bit, mostly due to better program compability. [23:50] dazjorz, I suggest there is a serious regulationsystem [23:50] how ya liking it so far? [23:50] dazjorz [23:50] hischild, yeah thats why I am still using it [23:50] i spend week try to make my pc work online it was unable to log to interner [23:50] i had proplem and i fixed my self [23:50] dazjorz: i can do an ls and see the .desktop i made for it but the cat cmd returns nothing [23:50] !enter | tood [23:50] tood: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:50] hischild, why? if you compile an application for a 64 bits platform, it should be optimized for that type [23:51] ok [23:51] hi guys, what command can I use to list all users on a system? [23:51] well i wanna ask question [23:51] !ask | tood [23:51] tood: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:51] hi all. is there a specific channel for the ubuntu netbook remix? [23:51] nordin, true. But not all programs work on 64bit. Also, what's the use of it? more then 4gb of ram? my laptop has 3, pc has 2gb. higher speeds? not really, the 3% increase in speed isn't that good. [23:51] ubottu: im not allow ask in #ubunti-ops [23:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:52] dazjorz:? [23:52] !channels | zblach [23:52] zblach: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [23:52] hischild: same. :) [23:52] i had all my data in dvd cds its all ntfs files when i but the cd in linux it tell me udf volum eror [23:52] dazjorz, same speeds? [23:52] nordin: if the CPU gets too hot, the system will simply shutdown [23:52] hischild: all is exactly the same [23:52] NetworkManager needs to go back to the hell from whence it came. [23:52] I'm going to file a bug, see if anybody else knows what to do [23:53] tood, huh.. you formatted DVD/CD's in ntfs.. why on earth would you do that :/ [23:53] hischild, what's the use of it is another question [23:53] well how i can play my NTFS data in linux [23:53] ok. there does not appear to be a netbook remix channel [23:53] dazjorz: the shutting down thing isn't entirely true, first it'll try to throttle the CPU [23:53] nordin, and the biggest one of all ... a true 64bit app would never be able to run on a 32bit system. It'd have to use the available bits for its operations, something you could never do on a 32bit. So IMO either use 32bit, unless you need to use 64bit and not the other way around. / [23:53] !ntfs | tood [23:53] tood: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [23:53] ultratek: then that explains why nothing happens [23:53] ultratek: it seems to be an empty file then [23:53] dazjorz, ooh ok :) [23:53] dazjorz: what does it mean [23:53] dazjorz: iam very new to linux as of 2 days [23:53] dazjorz, well, the mips section shows how fast it can process data ... it's sort of like the PR of an AMD processor. It appears to be just fine actually. (just noticed it) [23:54] ultratek: maybe you can re-create the link by right clicking on your desktop and clicking "Create Launcher..." [23:54] dazjorz: thankyou for helping:) [23:54] ultratek: no problem :) [23:54] hischild, I doubt about that. I just takes more clockcycles to get instuctions done [23:54] dazjorz: i have trouble shooted everyt which way [23:54] nordin, about 4 - 6 more clock cycles, not counting the ones needed to convert the instructions. [23:54] dazjorz: and still nothing [23:54] hischild: didn't check the bogomips value, but I don't know how mips work exactly, too [23:54] how can i get ubuntu to no free after being in it for 3 min system spc on http://www.xfire.com/profile/devilinops/ [23:55] well when i setup linux i lit the live cd do every thing and it delet all partitions and make new partitions [23:55] hischild, but it's still possible to run on a 32 bits [23:55] devilinops: what? [23:55] nordin, not without special apps to convert it. [23:55] devilinops: your question makes no sense - if English is not your native language, you may be able to find help in the Ubuntu channel of your primary language. [23:55] dazjorz, from my understanding, it's the speed a processor used to have before was about the same as that value. Newer cpu's like the amd athlon have lower speeds but higher values there, due to a different structure. Though your cpu speed seems slower, it can still process data at the right speed. [23:55] devilinops, could you try and make sense please.. and dont advertise your profile on here.. its not that kind of channel ;) [23:56] hischild, I don't think so, we are dealing only with numbers, size doesn't matter :p [23:56] when i install ubuntu to works the freezes in 3 min in desktop [23:56] ok.. kick [23:56] nordin, oh but size does matter. How else would you execute a 64bit instruction on something that can't understand more then 32bit? [23:56] hischild: weird [23:56] Fellas: can someone point me in the direction to a solid... and i mean solid tutorial as so how I go about Dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista Ultimate on a dell 1710. I will be doing a complete clean install [23:56] Paddy_EIRE, he's not advertising his profile here. Xfire keeps a record of the specs of his pc. If it is relevant, we can check it there. [23:57] hischild, is there no officially supported method for doing this?? [23:57] hischild, 64 btis instruction?? 64 bits means 64 bits wide registers [23:57] im not advertising a profile if it helps to know what my pc is to fix problem im giving the comp hard where specs [23:57] hay could linux play NTFS files [23:57] Paddy_EIRE, what do you mean? [23:57] tood, yes [23:57] hischild, like LP .. for e.g. [23:57] Paddy_EIRE, sorry, not following. [23:57] hischild, Launchpad [23:58] devilinops: do I understand correctly: when you install Ubuntu, it freezes after three minutes? [23:58] hischild, I also develope software for ARM microcontrollers, you can switch 32 bits to 16 bits, same concept [23:58] Paddy_EIRE: Xfire is a gaming application, which seemingly also puts the specs of your PC online [23:58] oh thx man so how i could do that cauz the only partition that i have is filesystem no other partitions [23:58] (if you want that, I hope) [23:58] yes frezzez in 3min after loging in [23:58] modumass, well did all those steps and no dice . . . . :( [23:58] nordin, kinda different then 64 to 32. i don't want to call you off with this, but this discussion is outside of the scope of this channel. [23:58] devilinops, try burning new cd [23:58] still no dvd playing. strange indeed [23:58] devilinops: that's weird. What version of Ubuntu are you trying to run? [23:59] Paddy_EIRE, you mean if there is a default procedure to follow? It's up to the helper. [23:59] hischild, yes you are right that it's off-topic [23:59] iv tryed like six time and with each typ or ubuntu nothing [23:59] Hey. [23:59] dazjorz, hischild yeah I just dont like the advertising.. if and when I can avoid it and its not necessary other wise there is pastebin [23:59] tood: i can send you various partitioners if interested [23:59] !NTFS-3g | tood [23:59] tood: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [23:59] hischild: I'm going to file a bug :) [23:59] Such noise. [23:59] dazjorz, you're free to do so :) [23:59] anyone know how to manually mount an LVM volume from the command line? I've booted off a rescue disk, and it's not auto detected in any way. [23:59] Paddy_EIRE: he's probably used to just give the link [23:59] !enter | watermelonstorm [23:59] watermelonstorm: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:59] hischild, but it is still possible
