[00:00] ActionParsnip: haha, canned messages. I have it installed or i wouldn't know it wasn't showing the option :) [00:00] Mike_ss: oh loads :) [00:00] trollboy, it might be easier to just ssh in and run whatever apps you need. and have them appear locally via xming if using windows.. or normal X if using linux [00:00] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:00] huxley: is this the only to transfer files... i cant just open home folder the go to network to see his machine? [00:00] trollboy: if its headless, a vncserver is more efficient than sharing the desktop. however to reach them through NAT you have to haev some sort of port forwaring. i'd probably forward a single port to a serevr running ssh. from there you can jump to the other boxes [00:00] Mike_ss: ive not resized partitions, maybe someone else has though [00:00] trollboy, vnc can be sluggish.. and is not really that super secure.. of course yOu could sshtunnle it [00:00] dr_willis, I completely agree, but this is a windows user running this box [00:00] ahh... I think you may have a point there. [00:01] trollboy: have you heard of Ghost Unix? aka g4u [00:01] dr_willis, he needs clickable buttons [00:01] onetinsoldier, googling [00:01] trollboy, xming for windows does wonders. :) i have my X apps show up on the windows machine. its doable. [00:01] Hello, I've been trying to use QGtkStyle, but I don't know what to do after I install it [00:01] trollboy: you could use x forwarding over ssh [00:01] huxl3y: i think we have static ips... i noticed they are always the same ips when i look at my firewall from windows [00:01] trollboy: ok.. roger. it might be something you're looking for [00:01] dr_willis: heh, in my experience X often slower than vnc. esp. over the internet. ;-) [00:02] dr_willis and ActionParsnip I'm looking for an easy non "unix-scary" solution [00:02] I'm dealing with a luddite here [00:02] zsquareplusc, i find vnc works MUCH better once i set up a uber-minimal window manager [00:02] after running qtconfig, I don't see the style anywhere [00:02] personally I'd do everything easier via ssh and no gui [00:02] but that's me, not him [00:02] * dr_willis wonders why a luddite needs this stuff in the first place... but ive not been paying much attention [00:02] dr_willis, long story [00:02] trollboy: its not scary once setup [00:02] the idea is 0 setup [00:02] with xming, you run the connectwizard the first time.. and set up what app you wan tit to run.. and save the settings.. then ya got an icon that connects.runs the app.. [00:02] put the disk in, walk away [00:02] exit [00:03] doh, haha [00:03] constanta [00:03] ActionParsnip: You know what, I think I got it. I had Wordpress installed and the default location of it was at an IP address that it no longer had. I dropped the DB and started fresh and all is well [00:03] zsquareplusc: oops, didn't write to you, I'll try and re install it clean on both ends, thanks for the help, have to go eat... [00:03] dr_willis: connectwizzard is that an xming thing? [00:03] figureng out how to do a ssh tunnle from windows to the linux box.. is the scary part for me. :) [00:03] onetinsoldier, that is perfect [00:03] zsquareplusc, yes.. Xming is a X server for windows. It has a wizard that walks ya through the process of connecing to a linux box and running whatever app ya want. [00:03] thank you so very much [00:04] I had to install a x86 version of skype for a x86-64 version of Ubuntu. Is there any reason that it will only connect if I run it as root? [00:04] trollboy: :-) [00:04] now just have to get a easy VNC solution and I'm set [00:04] I tend to use Ultravnc for windows [00:04] hey i have a sever edition of ubuntu...does it contain all packages [00:04] dr_willis: putty on the windows side works verry well, even with X forwading and together with xming :-) [00:04] Tom__: sweet [00:04] dr_willis, he's not a *true* luddite, but rather a non-windows luddite. He's got windows, and it works, but he's pissed that now he's only got the custom software and needs to pay for changes. [00:04] zsquareplusc, you can set it up where putty works with xming yes... did that the other day:) [00:05] I'm wanting to reproduce everything he's got now, for free [00:05] hey i have a sever edition of ubuntu...does it contain all packages [00:05] vreau sa intru pe constanta...cum fac?? [00:05] nevermind, sorted it out [00:05] here's almost the exact same functionality, but with linux. You got the code. Its free. enjoy [00:05] magnetron, Nope still not working. [00:05] DarkKnight, all the packages should be available for you [00:05] hey i have a sever edition of ubuntu...does it contain all packages [00:05] If one is doing linux to linux remote desktops. Isent FreeNX a better choice then vnc. [00:05] trying to set up my xbox controller... dmesg reveals that it's being recognized as an xbox controller but only the joystick works... any advice? It works fine in windows [00:06] could anyone tell me how to redirect a set of IP+PORT to another IP+PORT with, say, iptables? [00:06] is there any way to stop the ubuntu x-chat from logging directly into this channel and server every time it's launched? [00:06] DarkKnight, they're just not installed by default, case in point an mp3 player might be on the desktop version, but isn't installed by default on the server version [00:06] DarkKnight: packages are located in the repos [00:06] trollboy; i got this doubt only because the desktop cd contains only packages essential for the working of ubuntu...remianing all has to be downloaded [00:07] DarkKnight, exactly [00:07] what program do i use to combine movie.cd1.avi and movie.cd2.avi and come out with one movie.avi? [00:07] berkough, check the xchat settings/server swttings.. its in there. Yoyu may want to use the normal xchat, instead of xchat-gnome also [00:07] the default packages are installed, which isn't everything.

I don't speak farsii. It does however, have english, spanish, chinese and german installed, as I speak those languages. [00:08] dr_willis, cat can do it? :o [00:08] DarkKnight, that's the point. You install what you need, forget the rest [00:08] rustybox: xinput list [00:08] ceil420, it MIGHT be able to.. check the mencoder and ffmpeg docs/faq's they discuss this topic [00:08] dr_willis, i just went through mencoder's ridiculously long man page (damn mplayer) and didn't see how to do what i wanted [00:08] rustybox: xinput set-int-prop THATDEVICENUMBER 'Device Enabled' 32 0 [00:08] No package 'glib-2.0' found [00:08] i'm about to install ffmpeg :x [00:09] dr_willis, cheers [00:09] hallo [00:09] ceil420, i reah through both apps docs/faqs the other day ont heir homepages.. lots of neet info in there [00:09] someone helpe-me to instal gtk+ ? [00:09] trollboy; its not about being installed...what i am asking is does it contain ll packages...like gcc....etc......i just saw the desktop edition it does not have gcc...etc...they have to be downloaded...for the desktop dvd edition there is no need to download [00:09] I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I have set OffTime to 1 and it doesn't do anything,and I notice 'xset q' says DPMS Disabled I know it works because I can do 'xset dpms force off' and it shuts my monitors off.

[00:10] RITN, sounds like a PEBKAC [00:10] ActionParsnip, what's the device number? is that the id=10? [00:10] DarkKnight, most distro's have all gone "Download on Demand" for packages [00:10] DarkKnight, even windows has done that to a degree, as has mac ox [00:11] no [00:11] that sounds like 2 hours in this room and no one could help. [00:11] external usb hard drive which partition table should i use for pic doc vid and music files and to use with windows [00:11] RITN, what's your issue [00:11] which is the best distro? [00:11] DarkKnight, even Debian doesn't include gcc and other 'build-essential' stuff by default [00:11] I've got several shares on my ubuntu boxen [00:11] rustybox: yeah sounds good [00:11] i can mount a share. works great. i cannot write to the drive. [00:11] is bakefile included in ubuntu? [00:11] input/output error [00:11] jhjk, configure your box right and it doesn't matter [00:11] trollboy; i have been given the task to install ubuntu and make client-server installation.....and in college the net speed is very low...as low as 56kbps [00:12] ^^ [00:12] //snappy/250 /media/250 smbfs username=ritn,password=*******,rw,umask=000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 [00:12] thats my line [00:12] RITN, I've seen that before.. its user parm errors [00:12] RITN, try killing the uid and gid and authing against pam [00:12] trollboy u r right but how do i do that? [00:12] how do i get "org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui" in eclipse? [00:12] pam? [00:12] jhjk, time and patience and a learning curve [00:13] i did try killin uid. [00:13] RITN: fyi, the channel is logged and you once did post the password, you should change it, if the box is somehow connected to the internet [00:13] RITN, by specifying uid and gid you're forcing the mount to a user [00:13] it never is [00:13] trollboy; ?? [00:13] i did that. same problem [00:13] I had to install a x86 version of skype for a x86-64 version of Ubuntu. Is there any reason that it will only connect if I run it as root? [00:13] Anyone know anything about getting future domain scsi controllers working in ubuntu? [00:13] ActionParsnip, i think it worked! Thanks a lot [00:13] so no matter who mounts the drive, they get the rights of that user [00:13] no matter how i configure that set of parms [00:13] same shit. [00:13] PAM is Password Authentication [00:13] German? [00:13] so create a user on the box, and mount as that user [00:13] and you're golden [00:13] iv messed with pam before. how does that have anything to do wit samba though? [00:13] Cannabis, ja? [00:14] rustybox: sweet [00:14] how to enable framebuffer? # defoptions=quiet splash locale=zh_CN vga=869 doesn't work [00:14] your saying its the wrong user credintals? [00:14] trollboy which command shows me the running procceses? [00:14] DarkKnight, I'd make a small image mirror locally then === jlb is now known as _jlb_ [00:14] RITN, Pam is the basic "user/password" system of linux [00:14] jhjk, ps does, although I recommend typing ps aux for a full listing [00:15] thanks man :) [00:15] jhjk, alternatively you can type top and get the top resource using apps [00:15] np [00:15] RITN, you see what I'm saying [00:15] trollboy; my only worry is whether sever edition has gcc, gcj , eclipse...umbrello, anjuta , drupal etc....or do i have to make download [00:15] PAM isn't some new system or something funky like kerebos or ldap, its easy [00:16] where would be the best place to ask for hardcore dvdauthor help? I can't find much on the official site not even a bug tracker or mailing list [00:17] trollboy: it logs in fine. [00:17] RITN, type "cat /etc/passwd" on your local box, you'll see a list of users, in the following format Username:password(replaced with x):uid [00:17] DarkKnight: the server edition has all the packages other editions do; they use the same repositories [00:17] trollboy: er, /etc/shadow? [00:17] that's how linux sees people, for example I am trollboy:1001 [00:17] raylu; thanq... [00:17] raylu; i checked the apt-mirror...i have some doubts.... [00:18] ? [00:18] now linux is very particular on its file permissions RITN, so when you're forcing a uid like that, you're taking away control and saying "NO IT IS THIS USER" [00:18] and then? trollboy [00:18] your problem is, that user doesn't have rights [00:18] oit [00:18] to what? [00:19] what I would do is just create a useraccount on the server, make damn sure that user has read/write parms on that dir [00:19] the server is a nas [00:19] then when you auth to that server from the client, user the user/pass you created on the server [00:19] and the server works great.

[00:21] raylu: I did it and it prompt"a new version of menu.lst is avaible , but he version installed currently has been locally modifiled" should I chose to "Keep the local version currently installed?" [00:21] xiamx: nope. [00:22] xiamx: use the new version [00:22] RITN, paste me your line again, and what file is it in? [00:22] MHz128: why did you try ndiswrapper? [00:23] raylu: There's no such option, "Install the package maintainer's version", "Keep the local version installed", [... merge...] [00:23] //snappy/250 /media/250 smbfs username=ritn,password=*******,rw,umask=000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 [00:23] raylu, why? because the native rt2500 driver wouldn't work eitehr [00:23] i took the uid and gid out [00:23] xiamx: "install the package maintainer's version" is what you want [00:23] in the fstab [00:23] raylu; http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html#s8 under the ftp he has included something about sym links... [00:23] RITN: silly question.. does /media/250 actually exist? [00:23] yup [00:23] MHz128: if the native driver doesn't work, ndiswrapper is unlikely to give you better results [00:23] so I installed Intrepid on my 10 year old sister's computer because she messed up her windows box badly with limewire, it's an OptiPlex GX260 and it looks like her video card isn't getting acceleration and thus "webkinz" and youtube are slow which is a primary concern of hers. When I try and enable desktop effects, it just tells me that I can't do it...the computer has a built in intel video card with 8 megs of memory....anyone got any ideas? [00:24] raylu: I've modified menu.lst, does maintainer's version discard it? [00:24] hw acceleration works on windows [00:24] raylu, oh i c! it connects flawlessly using WEP.... but, i'd rather use wpa...... [00:24] hey guys [00:24] my current sbcl is installed in /usr/bin [00:24] but i have a feeling the new (custom build) sbcl is going to be installed in /usr/local/ [00:24] is this something i should worry about? [00:24] banisterfiend: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:24] (sbcl is a lisp compiler) [00:24] MHz128: from what i hear, wpa is a little harder to set up. i assume you've gone through !wireless and whatnot? [00:25] MHz128: because i have no experience with it [00:25] banisterfiend: it sounds like you're building from source [00:25] raylu: yes i am [00:25] banisterfiend: any particular reason? [00:25] RITN, and your gentoo box worked as well? [00:25] !wireless [00:25] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:25] raylu: yeah the packaged version is really old [00:25] banisterfiend: that's how it should be. /usr/bin is for binaries from packages. if you do the make/install it should go to either /usr/local/bin or a folder under /opt [00:25] i dont have my gentoo up [00:25] my win does === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [00:26] RITN, thought you were saying you could make it work with gentoo but not ubuntu?

[00:26] banisterfiend: you should, actually [00:26] banisterfiend: probably not, but you might want to uninstall the package to get yours by default [00:26] Is nvidia-glx-177 for a nvidia cards only? ie.. would installing it on a system with an intel integrated card cause harm? [00:27] raylu: which one will run if i type 'sbcl' the old or the new one? [00:27] help!

[00:27] banisterfiend: if i were you, i would look at the 'checkinstall' package [00:27] trollboy: that was just out of frustration [00:27] raylu; ?? [00:27] ok Anyone else having problems with Firefox and window decorator? [00:28] banisterfiend: when there already is a package, the alternative would be, rebuild it for your own. that's apt-get source | build-dep and compile your won .deb package [00:28] RITN, ah, fair enough. Try to avoid that as it can cause issues. Now, from the windows boxes, you connect just fine as ritn? [00:28] yup [00:28] could it be a local directory permission problem? [00:28] which model snap server is it? [00:28] DarkKnight: what about it? [00:29] RITN, sorta? [00:29] raylu; http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html#s8 under the ftp he has included something about sym links... [00:29] banisterfiend: that depends on the order of your $PATH [00:29] RITN, msg me [00:29] DarkKnight: again, what about it? [00:29] zsquareplusc: would it be ok if i install the source version now (make install) and then i go apt-get remove sbcl ? (to remove the packaged version) ? [00:29] raylu; i dont know how to create sym links [00:29] DarkKnight: ln [00:30] DarkKnight: and again, i really think you need to have a lot more experience before undertaking this project [00:30] how to keep iptables rules ?? [00:30] raylu; hm... ya but its not a project....promoting linux in our campus [00:30] banisterfiend: that probably is. but software installed with "make install" usually can't be easily removed. thus, make sure its going into install all files into /usr/local. i prefer /opt/program, as there its easy to remove.. all is in one folder, one per app [00:30] DarkKnight: ln [00:31] Kelen; where this path?? [00:31] Kelen: this is a person who will be setting up a computer lab of ~60 computers [00:32] Hi [00:32] i'm looking to buy a video camera that works in ubuntu, anybody got links?

[00:33] !hardware > gradin [00:33] gradin, please see my private message [00:33] i know that it's an ubuntu server but, i wanna know how to do a simple neural net [00:33] wow [00:33] vga=869, grub boot up error: video mode not avaiable how to fix it? [00:34] wolver: i can point you to some stuff in C [00:34] How to make it so I don't have to enter a password everytime to do things in Ubuntu? [00:34] sudo -s [00:34] nuit!! [00:34] xiamx: remove vga completely. or are you depending on framebuffer consoles? [00:34] i really apreciate if u can tell me how to do the perceptron [00:34] Also how to make it automatically login without any need to put in a username / password [00:34] or some simple net [00:34] wolver: the perceptron is pretty easy [00:34] you can set your sudo cookie to expire after a very long time [00:34] ok i just installed sbcl but during installation i got this errror (at the end): Documentation: man /usr/local/share/man/man1/sbcl.1 cp: cannot stat `doc/manual/*.info': No such file or directory [00:34] please tell me how, i know some theory [00:34] wolver: don't look at my code though ... it sucks... depends what language you are doing it in anyway [00:34] Supavisah: go to the system, admin and login [00:35] Are you 17? [00:35] can u send me it [00:35] and i looked in the directory doc/manual and the files are actually *.texinfo not *.info [00:35] what is the fastest way to configure a remote ssh server to avoid to be asked for a password when connecting to it? [00:35] csc_: pretty dangerous stuff there [00:35] Supavisah: then on the security tab you should be able to set an auto login [00:35] csc_: use private keys [00:36] zsquareplusc, ok [00:36] csc_: ssh-copy-id [00:36] i know some theory bout neural net's but when i'm on the compiler i just dont know how to do it xD [00:36] zsquareplusc: I need framebuffer [00:36] ranok, done :) [00:36] wolver: i think Arnold Schwarzenegger can help you. just make sure you use the version from T2: Judgment Day [00:36] wolver: what language? [00:36] what about the prompting to change settings e.g. when I went to that dialogue [00:36] c [00:36] csc_: it'll automatically copy your rsa key to the remote server for you [00:36] wolver: ok, just a little joke. sorry, i don't know how to help [00:36] wolver: that has got to be the hardest language to get started in neural nets [00:36] xiamx: ok. then you proably need a different number 768 or something. i don't know these numbers. but there are lists out there [00:36] even though its the most native for that type of work [00:37] wolver: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~jxb/NN/nn.html [00:37] any language, i just wanna know the logic bout neural nets [00:37] Where should framebuffer option be added , after kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-generic or to # defoptions? [00:37] ranok, that's very useful thanks [00:37] perceptron isn't hard ....

[00:38] Supavisah: use visudo to set the timeout to many many minutes [00:38] could anyone tell me how to do it? =( [00:38] zsquareplusc: is a *.texinfo the same as *.info ....cos it's freaking otu that it cant find *.info but if i rename the files it's meant to be looking for in the install.sh to *.texinfo will it work? [00:39] zsquareplusc: that doesn't help... i'm looking to buy [00:39] Supavisah: I don't suggest doing that. It's a major security hole you're opening there.

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:39] MenZa, I do plan on doing it ;) [00:39] Supavisah: Why? [00:39] ranok, where do I do that? [00:39] Supavisah: http://fedorasolved.org/Members/opsec/sudo-an-advanced-howto [00:39] MenZa, because no one will be using it except me. [00:39] banisterfiend: i dont know. depends on the makefile and if docs where the last thing it did. maybe you lack a tool to create the files. makeinfo or something like that [00:40] Supavisah: Even so. [00:40] I just upgraded from 5.10 to 6.06, do I need to load the updates for 6.06, or can I upgrade to 7.04? [00:40] anyone know what files need to be changed if you move a vmware vm? theres like 8 files (just moving the main vmware hdd file is resulting in vmware throwing error messages) [00:40] zsquareplusc: I checked out 869 is for 1440x900 24bits, the code is right, what's the possible cause of the nonavailable error? [00:41] n2diy: I recommend doing the updates, as there is a new update utility, which will help upgradte more [00:41] gradin: its difficult to get lists like that. one option is search google if you have a specific product in mind (q= prod + ubuntu). even better is when you can try it out on a live system (i.e. run a ubuntu live cd and try it) [00:42] ranok: he may end up downloading updates multiple times, though [00:42] ranok: he could just update the update utilities [00:43] raylu: yeah, hopefully all the packages are nice about updating data files etc al [00:43] zsquareplusc: yeah docs were the last thing it did :) [00:43] Supavisah: help? [00:43] ! upgrade [00:43] zsquareplusc: well thats silly, you would think ubuntu would have its own webstore of supported hardware [00:43] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:43] xiamx: maybe your card or the kernel driver isn't supporting that one. see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [00:43] gradin: that'd be impossible to maintain [00:43] gradin: wait, a web store? why? [00:44] gradin: there you have your business idea ;-) [00:44] raylu: convinence, profit, supporting linux [00:44] there is lots of supported hardware [00:44] gradin: generally, it works the other way around. linux tries to support the hardware :P [00:44] ranok, no it's fine :) [00:45] How do I find my soundcard model from terminal? [00:45] linkmaster03: lspci, lsusb [00:45] raylu: beat me to it :P [00:45] zsquareplusc: k thanks, another reboot now [00:45] raylu: hard data that people want support for drivers and a real direct benifit for hardware manufactures to see that their product is being sold [00:45] linkmaster03: what raylu sugests or lshw -C sound [00:45] specifically because of linux [00:45] linkmaster03: try out.. lspci -v | less [00:45] raylu: oh yeah thanks [00:46] gradin: not many hardware manufacturers would be interested in that [00:46] Should I install Linux first or Windows first? [00:46] gradin: checkout system76 [00:46] gradin: which is why they only try to get it to run on windows in the first place [00:46] linkmaster03: what zsquareplusc said is probably better, but you might need to install the 'lshw' package [00:46] gradin: which is why the problem exists in the first place [00:46] wilber: windows [00:47] ty [00:47] wilber: both will install boot loaders, but the windows one won't boot linux to save its life [00:47] raylu: zsquareplusc: onetinsoldier: thanks guys [00:47] :) [00:47] Should I always update the kernal version? [00:47] Supavisah: depends on who you are and what the machine is being used for [00:48] personal development. [00:48] Supavisah: if you are asking if you should do security updates? then the answer is yes [00:48] Okay. [00:48] Anyone know anything about getting future domain scsi controllers working in ubuntu? [00:48] Supavisah: sys admins for mission critical servers often wait before updating [00:48] Ah okay. [00:48] Supavisah: i would update it. but then again, i compile my own custom kernels [00:48] So I'm the test subject? :P [00:48] does ubuntu handle .deb? [00:49] ctesibiusulpius: yes [00:49] ctesibiusulpius yes [00:49] Supavisah: not quite. you're like a second or third level test subject [00:49] I thought so, I'm in search of help for a friend, I appreciate it [00:49] I can't seem to get my DPMS working in xorg.conf, I have set OffTime to 1 and it doesn't do anything,and I notice 'xset q' says DPMS Disabled I know it works because I can do 'xset dpms force off' and it shuts my monitors off. [00:49] Supavisah: test subject? i doubt it.. this is an ubuntu package we're talking about, correct? [00:49] Yes? [00:50] onetinsoldier: debian is still on 2.6.26 [00:50] Supavisah: just do it [00:50] i prefer KDE myself.. but it's so buggy >.< [00:50] raylu: yes.. i know. [00:50] I have to admit, ubuntu has improved significantly - especially for the effects. [00:50] hello! I'm considering buying an Acer Aspire One (1GB ram, 1.6GHz Atom single core). Am I total nuts if I consider running VB on it? Host OS would be WinXP and client would be WinXP and Ubuntu (not running at the same time) configured with 512MB ram... Sorry if I am too off-topic. [00:51] lag [00:51] anyone know what files need to be changed if you move a vmware vm? theres like 8 files (just moving the main vmware hdd file is resulting in vmware throwing error messages) [00:51] raylu: however, the heck with that. and the heck with 2.6.27 too. i've got kernel 2.6.28-rc8-git2 compiling as we speak! hehe [00:51] spunk: VB? [00:51] onetinsoldier: heh [00:51] virtualbox [00:51] :-) [00:51] raylu: ah, sorry, I mean VirtualBox. [00:52] to use .deb in ubuntu do you have to use the command line or can you right click or double click or whatever [00:52] Win XP runs nicely in VirtualBox on my 8.04 box [00:52] spunk: it'll run, just not great. why do you need this setup? [00:52] ctesibiusulpius: both [00:52] is one way better than the other? [00:52] raylu: I beg to differ...XP runs great, matter of fact, faster in Virtualbox [00:53] ctesibiusulpius: if you ask me, i'll always say the cli is better :D [00:53] I'm running Vista on my VB. [00:53] mrwes: um, you have it backwards [00:53] I'm partial to a command line myself [00:53] I'm not used to CLI yet :( I don't know where to start. [00:53] slimg00dy: that's easy. uninstall the gui [00:53] no mrwes is correct, win xp runs way faster in a VM [00:53] what's the basic syntax, if you don't mind telling me [00:53] raylu: how so? [00:53] eseven73: right, but we're talking about xp as the host... [00:53] mrwes: ^ [00:54] raylu: the acer model is attractive for its form factor. I know it is a bit on the weak side when it comes to hw-spec. Perhaps I should do the other way around, running Ubuntu as host and WinXP as client. But I'm concerned I need WinXP as host for (crappy) HW-demands... [00:54] raylu: Yeah but I don't know all the commands yet. [00:54] gotta jump right in [00:54] :/ [00:54] I use gentoo, so I have no way to actually check the man pages [00:54] shrug.... [00:54] raylu: I only know the basic basic stuff. [00:54] slimg00dy: right. so take off the gui and you'll be forced to learn it. preferably, do this on another machine :D [00:54] I'm thinking about installing a web admin panel. Is there anything thats opensource and better than webmin? I was just about to install webmin, but I thought I would stop and ask the ubpros. [00:54] raylu: and with guest additions and seamless...it rocks [00:54] . [00:54] :) [00:54] spunk: ask eseven73 and mrwes [00:54] raylu: Maybe I'll buy a netbook and do it on that, but right now this is my only machine. [00:54] !webmin [00:54] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

[00:55] rogan: what'd you do? [00:55] slimg00dy: what? books? hah. [00:55] slimg00dy: > http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/index.html [00:55] slimg00dy: use the internets [00:56] no, don't read tutorials =\. just use a cli :D [00:56] were do i report bugs?

[01:00] is sloopy on [01:00] spunk: it's an old HP and XP runs fine with that setup in a VB [01:00] ebox would [01:00] or should anyways [01:01] Hey, I can't edit files in /var/www/ despite being the only user.. how can I make it so I can?

[01:01] Supavisah: or... use sudo -i [01:02] spunk: fire it up and find out :) [01:02] Supavisah: otherwise, sudo chown $USER /var/www [01:02] i use ubunt 08.4 [01:02] raylu, what will that command do?

(so you are actually contributing a lot to my decision right now :-)) [01:03] mrwes: well good for you [01:03] eseven73: Nothing wrong with suggesting 8.04. It's LTS and that's a benefit as well. Although "its all broken for me" isn't a good reason usually. [01:03] Just why? [01:03] Supavisah: the short answer is security [01:03] obv, but I couldn't care less about security tbh. [01:03] eseven73: well j00 lamer...then everything ISN'T broken....duh [01:03] heehee Flannel yeah, i agree [01:03] Supavisah: that's like asking why a black hole suck in light [01:03] Supavisah: in the form of virii [01:03] Supavisah: that's like asking why a black hole sucks in light [01:04] spunk: you have some win apps you must run?

A VPN client for example. :-( [01:04] the answer here is "yes." the answer in #fedora is "no." the answer in #freebsd is "linux sucks anyway" [01:04] ahhh now for the kicking [01:05] that's like going into a Mickey D's and asking if a quarter pounded is better than a Whopper..heh [01:05] mrwes: :-) [01:05] hi there [01:05] urchin: i have been a plin old debian user for along time. ubuntu is better imo. just nicer. especially if you're not familiar with linux, it helps. bit even if your not, it's just nice [01:05] onetinsoldier he is long gone [01:05] plin = plain [01:05] can i remote desktop from ubuntu to windows server box?

If I go into Gnomebutton->System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad tab->uncheck the Enable Touchpad option I lose my ability to click. My laptop also has a nub in the keyboard that still works for mousing around if I uncheck the enable touchpad option. [01:30] AndreasMadrid: what app is this? i think you should copy the binary file to your home dir and run it from somewhere in tere [01:30] raylu: so what does it mean? [01:30] stiv2k: it was either automaitcally installed or uninstalled [01:30] stiv2k: because it was a dependency of some installed package [01:30] Flannel, fine then i will allow him to continue to cuss... in a family channel :'/ [01:30] stiv2k: it means that 'aptitude' is marking then as 'automatically' installed to satisfy dependencies [01:30] Do I need all the files that sun java gives me? 100mb is big [01:30] raylu: ah ok... so thats not actually part of the package name [01:31] sloopy: you should tell him to stop, not threaten him [01:31] onetinsoldier: raylu: i get it now [01:31] but thay ware being mean to me [01:31] raylu, i have told him before... [01:31] stiv2k: ok, roger [01:31] sloopy: not an excuse [01:31] sloopy: He's already been spoken to about it. This is a family friendly channel, not a lets-intimidate-people-for-no-reason channel [01:32] Flannel, i am not intimidating a random person, i am disiplineing my 10YO son... [01:32] raylu maybe i installed it in the wrong directory, that may be the cuase. I will try to reinstall it. Thank you. [01:32] I curse at random parts of my sentences not directed towards someone, is that okay? [01:33] slimg00dy, you are not my 10YO son ;') [01:33] I was wondering, why linux downloading speed is so much faster then windows? Nothing hindering the speed maybe? [01:33] Hello. I have a monitor attached to my laptop and it used to work that I could see both screens. Today since rebooting the system *knows* there's the separate screen attached in the dialogue, but the screen stays black even when I turn it on... [01:33] and when I close and re-open the dialogue it's gone back to "Off". [01:33] I'm trying to run virtualbox in ubuntu [01:33] any clues as to what I might be missing? [01:33] sloopy: If you'd like to discuss the issue further, you're welcome to come to #ubuntu-ops, if not. Drop it. [01:33] but I keep getting: Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer. [01:33] how can I fix this?? [01:34] bulio: check out #vbox [01:34] almark1: probably because the TCP/IP stakc is better than windows... and the stack and overall OS is based on unix-like principles [01:34] ganeshredcobra: work? [01:34] AndreasMadrid: and you should change those permissions for /usr/local/bin asap [01:34] hai i just to tried to change my session to kde but there is no option in the log in screen [01:35] Hello, how does one discover the location of all of the files for an application on a UNIX system? [01:35] plz help me [01:35] Do any of you guys have any ideas on how I can fix my touchpad issue? Is there another channel that is geared specifically to ubuntu laptop issues? [01:35] ganeshredcobra: do you have kde installed? [01:35] raylu yes, changes already undone. Thank you [01:35] onetinsoldier: the tcp/ip stack in linux and windows is the same I do believe but I do know linux is trying to make their own stack [01:35] yes [01:35] i installed it via sysnaptic [01:35] ganeshredcobra: ls /usr/share/xsessions/ [01:36] onetinsoldier: they MS <--- need to fix that ;) [01:36] there should be a kde.desktop [01:36] kitche: ha! windows and linux tcp/ip stack the same..? i think not [01:36] gnome.desktop ssh.desktop [01:36] thanks for the answer onetinsoldier [01:36] kitche: BANN WRONG [01:36] this is the op [01:36] ganeshredcobra: then you did install it properly [01:36] kitche, yeah, sorry, that's wrong. [01:36] well I have to say linux just rocks anyway [01:36] almark1: you're welcome [01:36] onetinsoldier: well they both have BSD tcp/ip stack [01:36] They are both POSIX-compliant. [01:36] That's it. [01:36] hw should i [01:37] and compiz is amazing nuff said [01:37] !who | ganeshredcobra [01:37] ganeshredcobra: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:37] kitche: that's just not true. [01:37] byby [01:37] kitche: BSD has the BSD stack. Linux's stack was created separately. [01:38] This is the biggest channel on Freenode. [01:38] kitche: you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper [01:38] ranok: Did you have a support question? [01:38] MindVirus: crazy, but also makes sense [01:39] kitche: i have seen messages on the linux-kernel mailing list, and many times it has been discussed how they were, once again, changing things in the tcp/ip stack. utils like xprobe, xprobe2 and nmap have trouble keeping with identifying the linux OS kernel version in their scans. [01:39] ganeshredcobra: **didn;e [01:39] **didn't [01:39] Flannel: nope, just here helping out others [01:40] do not on what you people are doing [01:40] hw should i install it [01:40] onetinsoldier: like I said it's BSD tcp/ip stack but they changed it [01:40] kitche: ok, i hear you and understand === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [01:41] does the apt-get install java setup java for me? Or do I have to do other configurations [01:41] i've been getting these weird error messages lately: there is not enough room on the disk to open your file [01:41] even after i reboot i get this [01:41] hello [01:41] almark1: try apt-get install sun-java6-jre [01:41] ganeshredcobra: howdy [01:41] ganeshredcobra: did you install kbuntu-desktop? [01:41] my /tmp shoudl clear at every reboot so i don't know why this is happening === russell__ is now known as triphoppa [01:41] onetinsoldier: just like Windows is changing their tcp/ip stack sometime but the code is a derivative of BSD code is that better :) [01:41] Wow, ext3 is REAAAAAAAALLY slow at writing large amounts of small files! [01:42] Hello, how does one discover the location of all of the files for an application on a UNIX system? [01:42] dad why is my name on her [01:42] ranok: that is what I did, just need to know do I have to config something? [01:42] from sysnaptic [01:42] kitche: roger that. windows just doesn't get changed nearly as often [01:42] ganeshredcobra: yes [01:42] kitche: at least notfor end users [01:43] hi everyone [01:43] hi!

[01:46] I want to edit my gnome main menu more than the 'main menu' app will let me, so I went into gconf editor. Under apps/panel/global there's a disabled_applets option, but in order to use it I need to know what my applet IIDs are. Where can I find this information? [01:46] I installed gedit.. and well lets see I can't manage to find it? [01:47] i've been getting these weird error messages lately: there is not enough room on the disk to open your file [01:47] can anyone help me? [01:47] ubuntu doesn't seem to like my lapto0p very much [01:47] Supavisah: just type 'gedit' in a terminal to open it. Or if you want the location, type 'which gedit' and it'll give you the path [01:47] ranok: yes [01:47] never has - [01:47] Thanks [01:47] I would of thought it would of put a shortcut. [01:47] joeb3_: let me try... tnx [01:47] Supavisah, it has one. [01:48] derchris, where? [01:48] Supavisah, gnome ? [01:48] * Supavisah nods. [01:48] what with this distro upgrade? [01:48] roukoun: might be easier to mount the server drive over SSH (Places -> connect to server), then run using the local totoem [01:48] Supavisah, Accessories -> Text Editor [01:49] oh, I didn't realise that was it - I thought it'd be under "gedit" [01:49] derchris, any experience with setting up syntax highlighting? [01:49] cyanicus: knock, knock... [01:49] where do i find a list of gnome applet OAFIIDs? [01:50] Supavisah, it should have it by default [01:50] Supavisah: you can hit: view -> hightmode to select a highlighting scheme [01:50] Thanks. [01:51] I have kde, I was wondering what might make my computer slow sometimes? There's something running and I don't know what it is and it's almost making my computer freeze up for a bit at a time. Running minimal hardware. [01:51] is there a more powerful gnome main menu editor than the default one in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:51] I have a question: What are the advantages/disadvantages of using 64-bit Ubuntu instead of 32-bit Ubuntu? [01:52] ranok: is there any command to launch "Connect to server..." application?

I can't ping the gateway who give me an ip via dhcp... and I think I have a big problem. [01:54] roukoun: SSHFS is a fuse FS [01:54] yowshi, are there packages being held back or did the upgrade itself fail, causing breakage [01:54] joeb3_: i connected using the command: "ssh -l -X " and then i gave the command: " totem /path/to/avi_file" bit i get this error: "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Can't open display:" [01:55] bazhang: the upgrade didnt fail i upgraded early november shortly after intrepid went public and i dont know if packaged are being or were being held back [01:55] roukoun, does the local system have xauth installed? [01:55] roukoun: you don't want to watch a movie over SSH+X [01:55] roukoun: are you high? [01:56] yowshi, what about updating and upgrading the packages now; do you get any errors, if so paste.ubuntu.com with them and give us the url [01:56] Gnea: sorry? [01:56] bazhang: umm as soon as i go to update the upgrade screen comes up [01:56] roukoun: you want to watch a movie over a network connection?

If I go into Gnomebutton->System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad tab->uncheck the Enable Touchpad option I lose my ability to click. My laptop also has a nub in the keyboard that still works for mousing around if I uncheck the enable touchpad option. [01:57] ranok: i dont have ftp server installed [01:57] roukoun: it'll use SSH [01:58] mewshi: 64-bit will recognize a larger amount of RAM, is more efficient for some types of calculations, and usually would be combined with multiple cores and be better for multi-threaded applications. [01:58] Anyone able to help me? [01:58] bazhang: which apt-get command am i supposed to use to make it install updates? [01:58] ranok: oh.. i didnt know... let me try it!!! :) [01:58] So... if I just have a pentium-dual core and just use it for regular use, no need...? [01:59] mewshi: Will that even support 64-bit? [01:59] i've tried looking but does anybody know how to open another window for another server? i'm using xchat [01:59] Yeah, it does [01:59] mewshi: ah. Well, you're likely to get some performance improvement, but it's certainly not necessary. [01:59] provo1, go to XChat -> new -> server tab... is that what you wanted? [01:59] provo1: ctrl + t [02:00] so i can open mulitiple servers simulataneously [02:00] yep [02:00] bazhang: synpatic seems to be handling the updates [02:00] provo1: CTRL - T [02:00] yowshi sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade paste.ubuntu.com with any errors (do NOT paste here) [02:00] easy enough [02:00] thanks ! [02:00] mewshi, but it won't support the full EM64T instructions set [02:00] I have the intel 965 chipset, is there a way to check and see if my drivers are up to date? [02:00] provo1, Xchat -> network list [02:00] got it, ctrl+t did the trick [02:01] i have a question i have gnome and kde i use both but when i active compiz in kde with the transparent cube i can see the gnome desktop WTF? what can i do? [02:01] dang... no alsaconf inubuntu? [02:01] ;P [02:01] I WIN! [02:01] ranok: the local pc doesnt recognise the gvfs-mount and there isnt in the repositories. it uses xandros [02:01] oh [02:01] look up FUSE [02:01] and SSHFS [02:01] might be easier to just scp it to the local machine [02:01] hell O [02:01] play and rm [02:02] roukoun, after you connect, type "echo $DISPLAY ". Does it return localhost:10.0 ? [02:02] I'm in kde, how can I see the processes running to see what's making my computer slow or what's running? [02:02] !enter | ranok [02:02] ranok: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:03] can anyone tell me how to use external drive in clonezilla server? [02:03] *sigh* [02:03] I have applied a patch to the nvtv source code and now I am trying to compile it (so I can use the software with this patch). I get an error during the ./configure stage which says "configure: error: pci library required" the lines directly before it are "checking for pci_init in -lpci... no" and "checking for pci_init in -lpciutils... no" How do I fix this so I can build the source code? [02:04] it says to use absolute paths and also not to use /media /mnt etc [02:04] joeb3_: yes [02:04] well [02:04] anyone familiar with clonezilla? [02:04] I'm off [02:04] ttyl [02:04] so, if I already have 32-bit on here, do I need to bother installing 64-bit? [02:04] For some reason firefox started blinking and flashing. It lost it's title bar too. Not sure why/ [02:04] mewshi: I don't think you need it [02:05] roukoun, can you run xterm when connected. (just to test) [02:05] or xclock! [02:05] also, if I did want to upgrade it, is there a way I could do it without reinstalling, just, like, change an apt line or something? [02:05] Susie, sudo apt-get install pciutils pciutils-dev === raphael_ is now known as raphael______ [02:06] hmm [02:06] mewshi: you can't get an actual 64-bit userspace environment unless you install the OS from scratch [02:06] Hello guys, I've had some trouble with a DVD drive on my laptop becoming unresponsive when I try to load a DVD. I rebooted to Vista64 and the drive ran perfectly 3 differnt times after it had become unresponsive in ubuntu. Then I tried to boot ubuntu and it refused to load at all and gave me some error messages (which I copied down.) I have 8.10 64bit installed and I'm running it through a Wubi folder. Everything was running smooth as [02:07] onetinsoldier, so... I can't just have like a 64-bit apt repo, and install from there? :( [02:07] mewshi: well, there may be a way and i don't know what it is, but it's my understanding that it'd be a pain [02:07] derchris: This worked! Thanks. :) [02:07] mewshi: no.. definitely not [02:07] joeb3_: no... i get: "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication xterm Xt: Can't open display: localhost:10.0" [02:08] Ok, well... what kind of performance gain would I get? [02:08] Would it be able to transcode video faster? [02:08] maybe I'll just post in a forum since I got no response for my end [02:08] mewshi, yes, but only 5-10% [02:08] why Iptables freed rules after 1 min ?? [02:08] Has anyone heard of firefox doing that? [02:08] i installed virtualbox from add/remove and it didnt come with guestaddition :\ [02:08] Hm... 5-10%... That... that might be acceptable, actually ^-^ [02:09] joeb3_: any idea? [02:10] mewshi: hmmm, i can't answer that very well. sorry. someone else probably can. of course, 64-bit gets you a lot more memory address space. that's at least one benefit(more space to address System RAM and Video RAM allocation area).

I was wondering if anyone could help me decide to update it... [02:20] On my ubuntu install (doesn't happen on Windows or Debian) in Firefox when I right click a link, there is a good chance it won't pop up the right click menu and it'll just randomly select an option (or so it seems) and it'll do whatever action. I've tried this on a 100% fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 and Firefox (without addons), any ideas/known issue/fixes? [02:20] mewshi, depending on the application and the task you can get nothing, or up to 10% [02:20] roukoun, do you have a .Xauthority file in you home dir? [02:20] naknomik, and i think the credfile is wrong. should be credentials= [02:20] Phase, I have the same problem. Just hold down the right button, that seems to help === kURAPIKA is now known as Kurapika [02:21] <[e]Lement> Phase, I cannot say I've replicated your issue. [02:21] <[e]Lement> Might be the mouse / mouse driver? [02:21] lol, Jack_Sparrow you are still here helping people out I see... So from your earlier suggestion I take it you were helping me to setup a test environment? Or were you suggesting I work within a 32 environment? [02:21] defn, try doing a sudo fdisk -l and working out which value is the correct one [02:21] mewshi, I'll try that, thanks. [02:21] Vantrax, would you recommend it? I do a lot of video encoding, music listening, web surfing, and writing... would it be worth the small hassle> [02:21] gbear14275 Either, your choice [02:21] [e]Lement, Well, On debian/windows/arch/anything but ubuntu it works fine. [02:21] when I'm in the cli (from going to Ctrl-Alt-F2) is there a way to run a command and then scroll up or pause the output [02:22] mewshi, with video encoding yes as its cpu driven, for the rest no [02:22] <[e]Lement> Odd [02:22] Crewsr3: [02:22] | less [02:22] Phase, can you please submit a bug against firefox in the ubuntu bugtracker launchpad? [02:22] phase: launchpad.net [02:22] mewshi, how effective it will be is based on how cpu intensive the process is [02:22] Vantrax: It's SCSI, so I did a ln -sf to /dev/scd0 [02:22] pckchem, Does it require I register first? [02:22] Phase: i haven't encountered this... fresh install eh? interesting. i have done a few right-clicks on links, but perhaps i should try some more [02:22] Vantrax: that wont mount either though :\ [02:22] joeb3_: yes [02:22] Phase: Yes, [02:22] Crewsr3: like 'ls -a | less' would allow you to pause the scrolling [02:22] So, Vantrax, would you do it? [02:22] defn, that doesnt sound good [02:22] onetinsoldier, Yeah [02:23] Vantrax: ? [02:23] pckchem, Then no I can't, at least not at the moment.. thanks for that link though. [02:23] err I linked it to /cdrom [02:23] roukoun, try removing that file before connecting. [02:23] ln -sf /dev/scd0 /cdrom [02:23] mewshi, if your doing alot of video encoding sure, if its only now and then no [02:23] im going crazy, sorry, lack of sleep [02:23] Phase: you can always check the bugtracker. but i am pretty new to unbuntu. i don't have an exact link to it. [02:23] defn that should have worked [02:23] roukoun, also make sure you have free space in your /home folder. [02:23] did you remove the previous link?

[02:34] aeos: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu [02:34] defn, its just because there is a ton of text here [02:35] Timeout error -- Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad. [02:35] * Phase waits :) [02:35] I [02:35] <[e]Lement> sliderz, you have to run it inside of a terminal [02:35] jrib: that only lets you edit preferences and administration [02:35] defn, so longer lines and less entries are easier to read and keep track off in big channels [02:36] ok fairly stupid question, for a convert [02:36] aeos: it lets you edit the actual system menu as well. What exactly are you doing? [02:36] I'm sorry if this is chat is not for this type of inquiry, but I was just trying to get an opinion on whether or not it's worth it to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid. [02:36] [e]Lement I know that, but I'm just not sure why it is not working... [02:36] if the person downloads the intrepid image and burns it on a dvd, can they still boot and install from it? === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [02:36] <[e]Lement> There's one thing that ticked me off on that upgrade, matthew12. My compiz-fusion configuration was completely reset back to defaults. I was ticked. [02:36] jrib: i'm getting rid of 'about ubuntu', and 'about gnome'. i don't see how to get rid of them using alacarte [02:36] aeos: ah, that's true [02:37] it gives me, configure: error: No lex program found. [02:37] <[e]Lement> matthew12, and there were a few apps I wanted to upgrade that Hardy would not be upgrading. Azureus/Vuze for example. [02:37] It is probably my fault... [02:37] matthew12: depends on what you need. If everything is working fine for you on hardy, and you don't need any newer apps, i'd say don't bother upgrading. If you're having hardware compatibility problems, or need newer software, try intrepid. [02:37] [e]Lement, Only thing that ticked me off is compiz is on there to begin with :P [02:37] <[e]Lement> sliderz, are you sure you have all depencies installed for the item in which you are installing. [02:37] <[e]Lement> Phase, I run an older system that works pretty awesome with Compiz... [02:37] matthew12: also note that Hardy is a Long Term Support release and Intrepid isn't, so if you care about that sort of thing, stick with Hardy. [02:37] [e]Lement, I wouldn't know how to check...it's basically a terminal addon that I'm trying to install [02:38] [e]Lement, Oh my computer can definitely handle it, I just find it useless, lol [02:38] FiReSTaRT: yes it will work fine [02:38] So, this is a stupid/basic question, but is there a way to make terminal bring up my last command by hitting shift-up on the keyboard, similar to how Putty works? [02:38] thanks jtaji [02:38] Hardhead, 'up' works for me.. [02:38] <[e]Lement> Phase, I like eye-candy I guess. It's fun to have my friends freak out when I rotate a cube. "My Vista can't do that..." =) [02:38] [e]Lement, I don't mind resetting things, I just was wondering if it was really that big of a difference, I may need newer software however, lately Hardy has been inexplicably crashing on a daily basis. [02:38] Hardhead: try just the up arrow :/? [02:38] [e]Lement, lol [02:38] Hah! i tried cntrl-up, shift-up, and alt-up, but not just up. [02:38] Thanks. [02:38] <[e]Lement> matthew12, I am happy with it so far. [02:39] Hardhead, yep :P [02:39] whats the best way to remove an older kernel [02:39] <[e]Lement> sliderz, you may want to see if the developer has any useful documentation [02:39] gerbil: uninstall the corresponding package in synaptic [02:39] My usb disk not being detected, but shows in system info as scsi07 [02:39] [e]>element, that is what confused me was the documentation said to ./configure then make then make install...seemed easy enough... :P guess not [02:39] [e]Lement and rww thanks for your input [02:40] oh I see...dependencies. [02:40] anyone on that could maybe help out with a desktop effects problem? [02:40] <[e]Lement> That's how most manual installations run, sliderz. So maybe there is something else. You may be able to contact them. [02:40] <[e]Lement> No problem matthew12. [02:40] !anyone | sandro1 [02:40] sandro1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:40] thank you [e]Lement, I learn something new every day :D that probably could be useful, hehe [02:40] <\\`oot> Q: What's the best way to manage themes in 8.10? [02:40] OK, another question. I'm running it on my Thinkpad. For some reason, the three left-click on the three button section above the trackpad doesn't work the same as the left-click on the two-button section below it. Basically, I can't seem to click-drag using the above-the-keyboard buttons. Is there a way to change that? [02:40] <[e]Lement> sliderz, I only know because I also learned that way. Lol [02:40] \\`oot: system -> preferences -> appearance [02:40] <\\`oot> mmm [02:41] Well I sure do appreciate any help...because I am a long way from where I want to be. [02:41] <[e]Lement> \\`oot, I use the Emerald Theme Manager. These are higher-end themes tho'. [02:41] tes 123 [02:41] <[e]Lement> gnome-look.org has a bunch of themes for Emerald.

[02:42] alright. I have a question. hate to ask for help, but here it is: [02:42] <\\`oot> Where can I get more,,,,"nicer" themes? [02:42] Q: Can anyone tell me how to configure my USB disk so I can see contents? [02:42] !themes > \\`oot [02:42] \\`oot, please see my private message [02:42] [e]ement, so if the dependencies listed have bad URL's, it is probably best to pass up on anyways, safe assumtion? [02:42] when i remove a kernel is it safe to completely remove the restricted modules in synaptic? [02:42] phpmonk: what filesystem ? [02:42] vfat [02:42] <[e]Lement> sliderz, most likely. [02:43] ty [02:43] Huh. I have a R61. It's weird. The buttons above the pad seem to click, but not hold. It always acts like I clicked it and let up. It doesn't do that when I'm in Windows so I know it's not a hardware issue. [02:43] <[e]Lement> sliderz, see if someone created a newer alternative to what you are trying to install. [02:43] gerbil: for the corresponding kernel version, yes [02:43] quizme: it's defined in your .bashrc, take a look here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ [02:43] phpmonk: just plug it in [02:43] I need to setup grub to boot from an external usb cdrom drive. the BIOS does not boot from it automatically. it's very old. how do i go about setting up grub to give me this option? [02:43] gerbil: as long as the kernel you're removing isn't the one you're running, removing the kernel and anything related to it (like headers or source or restricted modules) is fine [02:43] <\\`oot> awesome! thanks [02:43] Ok, it was basically a hotkey to a terminal that overlayed 'ala quake terminal or something of the sort.. [02:43] Hey everyone, I'm trying to enable desktop effects on my system, but I get the "compositing is not supported on your system" message. I've tried different drivers, different versions of kde, gnome, etc. Does anyone know if this is an nvidia compatibility issue? 8800 gts [02:43] jtaji thank you [02:43] jtaji: thank you [02:44] jrib: I did but it only shows in "Computer" but I cannot access : Error: Volume cannot mount [02:44] sandro1: use Hardware Drivers to enable the nvidia drivers [02:44] How do I add ~/bin to my paths?

(sorry Vantrax but after looking through some docs i need more help if possible) [02:44] jrib: yeah, did that ... tried every version of the driver available [02:44] sandro1: you don't need every version, you just need one. Is it running now? [02:44] jrib: ah lol Thanks didn't log out yet. [02:45] thanks [02:45] I am just amazed that I got my nvidia and sound drivers working, that was 3am last night :D [02:45] phpmonk: did you try mounting it manually? [02:45] sandro1: did you try the drivers from the nvidia website [02:45] I was reading about this one app in ubuntu that you can listen to free streaming radio, anybody know the name of it? [02:45] <[e]Lement> Sound is pretty good in Ubuntu. Not too many problem, usually. [02:45] <[e]Lement> Video can be tricky sometimes.

[02:45] yeah [02:45] I need to setup grub to boot from an external usb cdrom drive. the BIOS does not boot from it automatically. it's very old. how do i go about setting up grub to give me this option? [02:45] hey, does anyone know if it's possible to write a script file that can execute remote commands through an ssh connection?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:28] k , sure =X [03:28] !ot [03:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:28] can anyone help me make our project work with ubuntu 8.10? [03:28] sliderz, too complicated. I use openvpn combined with port forwarding on my router. Just ask and someone may try to answer. [03:28] in pidgin, sometimes my emoticons and menu icons all disappear (and turn into red X type things like image not found). It seems pretty much random. Anyone have any ideas of why this happens? Is it normal? [03:28] c0l2e: what type of project? [03:29] c0l2e, explain the problem and if someone knows how to help they will. don't ask for help without saying with that. [03:29] *what [03:29] wesleyy: sorry i mean projector [03:29] my mistake [03:29] joeb3_, I will probably use vpn, b/c I have to go thru a sym360 on the work end...so i can just configure into the domain... [03:29] c0l2e: :) yeah that is easy [03:29] c0l2e: well, more or less :) what is the input the projector is expecting? [03:29] when my laptop is booting ubuntu.. I've seen it in the projector... but after the login screen it cannot be detected [03:29] so i should go to ubuntu-offtopic to ask ?/ [03:30] c0l2e: what video card? ATI or NVIDIA? [03:30] ATI [03:30] any ideas on that login problem I got? [03:30] it's an old Compaq Presario 2100 [03:30] c0l2e: have you installed the restricted drivers for it? [03:30] Aya18111, do you show a connection? or cannot find the correct drivers [03:30] yep [03:30] everything is properly installed [03:31] Aya18111, ask your full question, all in one statement, and then it will be known [03:31] bernie_, are u running all latest updates [03:31] how can I unpack rar archive [03:31] anyone knows? [03:31] yea , it show the connection, not sure have driver or not , when i tried "lspci" the ethernet card appear [03:31] c0l2e: nice, then simply click on Applications, Accessories, ummm ATI something or other :) I forgot the name of it [03:31] LutiusVeratius, sudo apt-get install rar [03:31] LutiusVeratius, you need to install rar for that, search in synaptic or however you prefer to install programs [03:31] c0l2e: then choice expand to screen 2 [03:32] I have installed it mker [03:32] Does anyone here know how to remove or change a GDM login theme from the command line? I installed a bad one and now I can't login normally. [03:32] LutiusVeratius, then just right click the file and extract [03:32] c0l2e: catalyst! that is the name of it! [03:32] i just installed a custom compiled newer version kernel. no sound now. plain debian had alsaconf, but ubuntu doesn't seem to have this. how i can reconfigure alsa, or perhaps pulseaudio is more correct, for my new kernel? [03:32] whats a good irc client [03:32] I've tried that...but nothing [03:32] let me check again [03:32] onetinsoldier: analog or digital? [03:32] vbrana, xchat is nice if you want GUI. irssi is nice if you don't. [03:32] <\\`oot> Hi folks... I downloaded a .emerald "theme"... and can't figure out how to install it [03:32] I am using xchat :) [03:32] vbrana, Xchat [03:32] thanks [03:33] Aya18111, try lshw -C network [03:33] <\\`oot> I installed Emerald - but t doesn't appear to do anything but "display" the theme [03:33] wesleyy: analog [03:33] onetinsoldier: what type of card? [03:33] onetinsoldier: does lspci pick it up? [03:33] Does anyone here know how to remove or change a GDM login theme from the command line? I installed a bad one and now I can't login normally. Anyone? [03:33] yeah, everything is up to date i think it is a problem with Xorg than the system, when i switched from xfree86 to xorg about 2 months ago when i went from 4.6 to 7.0 ive been noticing alot of bugs [03:34] wesleyy: i wish a good driver were out for my X-Fi card.. but alas i' using some onbaord sound card... hang on [03:34] LutiusVeratius, it should work. what happens when you try? nothing at all? no error message or anything? [03:34] nothing... [03:34] unix isnt suppoes to crash like that [03:34] i'll try in a sec [03:34] I am trying to mount the system share from a windows machine, c$. When I use smbclient, I can do: smbclient //hostname/c$ -U user then enter password and can read/write entire C: drive of the windows machine, but when I try to mount the C$ share, it gives error. [03:34] LutiusVeratius, what happend if you double click the file to open it in archive manager, instead of "extract here" [03:34] it said , network unclaimed and network disabled , with a list below for each [03:34] vbrana: xchat and irssi are pretty good (irssi is no GUI but it rocks) [03:34] onetinsoldier: hmmm, have you tried running the alsa-soundtest? also, what does aplay -l or dmesg say about it? [03:35] mker : now,it's working something.... [03:35] onetinsoldier: oh and you may want to try #alsa too [03:35] mker : just a min === junglist313 is now known as nomnomnom [03:35] naknomik when you do smbclient -U username -L ip what does it show the share name as, something other than c$ ? maybe? [03:36] LutiusVeratius, if it's working it works :) Rar is pretty darn slow though. [03:36] can I ask a question about how to log in? [03:36] mker : and this is archive heavy 4.5gb... [03:36] sliderz: smbclient -U username -L hostname shows the share as C$ [03:36] ask nomnomnom [03:36] Does anyone here know how to remove or change a GDM login theme from the command line? I installed a bad one and now I can't login normally. Anyone? [03:36] wesleyy: ok... Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [03:36] nomnomnom - a better idea would be to remove the theme from your theme folder [03:37] onetinsoldier: ok, that uses intel_hda drivers I think === shauno_ is now known as shauno [03:37] onetinsoldier: does lsmod tell you they are loaded? [03:37] Dracil: where is the theme folder? [03:37] nomnomnom - looking on some docs right now about that [03:37] I create ~/Themes [03:37] nomnomnom: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom iirc [03:37] naknomik try mount -t smbfs -o user=userid //hostname/c$ /media/name Do you have a dir named in /media? mkdir /media/name [03:38] LutiusVeratius, yeah, those take some time with rar, but don't worry, sooner or later it'll get unpacked. There is a package called unrar which is non-free, I don't know if it's much faster though. From what I remember that too is very slow. [03:38] naknomik: make sure you have rights tot hat folder locally as well [03:38] wesleyy: no. if that's the nameof the module i may need toreconfigure my kernel and recompile it.. not sure. i'll look [03:38] jrib: is that a irc config or a generic gnome config? The -custom iirc at the end id throwing me off [03:38] sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so try to change login screen [03:38] urthmover does he have to edit the fstab to do that? [03:38] onetinsoldier: well it is called snd_intel_hda or something like that [03:39] then sudo update-initramfs -u [03:39] mker : it's unpaking...and how fast will do it I don't know:) thanks for help mate anyway ^^ [03:39] Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me out with 2 problems. I'll just worry about one of them for now. I can't seem to get the flash plugin installed on my 32-bit version of Firefox (on a 64-bit machine). I've used every script available and I've tried a manual install (of course, that one I may have been doing it wrong). [03:39] sudo usplash -c to test it [03:39] no you just create the local folder that you plan on mapping smbfs to [03:39] then give it the appropriate permissions [03:39] wesleyy: ok, roger that. thank you [03:39] LutiusVeratius, no problem, good luck [03:39] hope that is what you are after [03:39] sliderz: I'm able to connect to the C$ share if I do 'Connect to server...' thing from Nautilus. I just want it mounted automatically so all apps can access [03:39] the local folder will always exist whether or not you have the fstab command working [03:39] mker : thanks^^ === pdub is now known as pdub|sleeps [03:40] onetinsoldier: #also will tell you to wget a script which will find out information and paste it on a site so other alsa members can look at it and tell you what is wrong [03:40] nomnomnom, look in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Saw two lines for the theme. [03:40] vesayth try sudo apt-get install gsfonts gsfonts-x11 flashplugin-nonfree [03:40] #alsa even [03:40] vesayth: how many flash plugins are listed in your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder? [03:41] last time I checked, none but I will check again one sec [03:41] hi..all [03:41] wesleyy: ok. thanks. i think it might be a 'pulseaudio' thing.. not sure yet tho === _wendy_ is now known as DiiPhantom_ [03:41] onetinsoldier: well start with alsa :) [03:41] my acer aspire 4520 can't install wifi driver. please help me??

[03:41] O.o [03:41] wesleyy: ok [03:42] onetinsoldier: pulseaudio is a plugin for alsa as far as a know, if alsa can pick it up and sound-test works then move on to pulse [03:42] wesleyy: going to take a look at my custom kernel config right now [03:42] ok, good luck [03:42] pulse audio is a sound server - mixes audio [03:42] Is anyone else having problems with wine, steam, CS:S (or anyother halflife game), and 8.10?

Cd to desktop. chmod 750 file.run. ./file.run [03:57] dochaven: so how do i uninstall that file and what file do i download [03:57] test [03:57] wow can't we just tell the guy only once?

[03:59] wesleyy: ok, in my kernel config, i did not compile CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL into the kernel or as a Module.. so i will do that now. i am really hoping and waiting for a good X-Fi driver since Creative open-sourced the 64-bit driver about a month and a half ago. anyway, thank you! [03:59] im not running on live cd...i have installed to a persistent usb flash drive [03:59] Lorenzo, apt-get install b43-fwcutter [03:59] dracil what [03:59] randal_: no, you can keep the repo installed, just do this: [03:59] onetinsoldier: really you should check in #alsa too, you may need other modules to be compiled as well [03:59] wesleyy: hmm, ok [03:59] sudo apt-get update [03:59] dochaven: woops i uninstalled it [03:59] n8tuser2: I have the link, but there are 7 parts in the file, all .tar.bz2 files [03:59] then: [04:00] sudo apt-get install cinelerra [04:00] Lorenzo--> certainly there is a some kind of read me file yes? [04:00] joebb3: i have no internet on the computer with Ubuntu, hence the problem [04:00] http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547 [04:00] dochaven: i cant find the version that works on 8.10 [04:01] randal_: if you reinstall the .deb, then just update apt, then install cinelerra using apt [04:01] How can I seperate manually added packages and meta-packages in Synaptic from packages auto-selected because of dependencies? There must be a way. [04:01] how do I use bsdmake on ubuntu? [04:01] Basically I want to list all packages which have no dependencies. [04:01] dochaven: what [04:01] randal_: are you sure? === invariable is now known as Guest62466 [04:01] now that xorg.conf is gone, how does xorg know which driver to load and how do i switch them manually? [04:01] What is the best/most common MP3 software ....ubuntu 8.10 [04:01] ok [04:01] dochaven: idk what to do why do they have to make this so complicated [04:01] Madsy: why would you want to do that? [04:02] sliderz: rhythmbox, amaroke or maybe even songbird [04:02] randal_: haha, download this: http://akirad.cinelerra.org/pool/addakirad.deb [04:02] anybody familiar with oscommerce? [04:02] how do I use bsdmake on ubuntu? I have a program written by a freeBSD person and I want to compile it on ubuntu -> but the Makefile is for bsdmake [04:02] k, rhythm box comes stock. check. thanks abarbaccia [04:02] DiiPhantom_: The obvious reason. I want to free some space, and remove some packages I rarely use. [04:02] randal_: then, after installing, do "sudo apt-get update" [04:03] oh lol, thats not that obvious [04:03] randal_: then "sudo apt-get install cinelerra" [04:03] dochaven: after i install use sudo apt-get update do i have to put the program name in it [04:03] randal_: ? what [04:03] http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3096170 [04:04] Is there a way to roll my current installation (themes, installed apps, installed repos, installed drivers, app preferences, EVERYTHING) into an installable cd or dvd? [04:04] randal_: the update is for apt [04:04] looks like that might be the answer if anyone cared [04:04] dochaven: nvm 1 sec [04:04] randal_: ok [04:04] DiiPhantom_: It works fine for the "cute" add/remove applications synaptic tool. The problem arises when you need packages which aren't applications, like development libraries. Then you have no choice than invoking synaptic. And chaos ensues when you want to actually remove something again. [04:04] Buster_Hymen: google Ghost Unix...also known as g4u [04:05] i see, thank you, im learning here [04:05] onetinsoldier: will do! thank you! [04:05] Because the packages who are dependencies are impossible to separate from those who are not. [04:05] Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img. [04:05] Madsy: look into deborphan. I think it does that, maybe [04:06] dochaven: why cant they tell you this on the website serisly why is installing stuff on ubuntu so hard [04:06] Buster_Hymen: you're welcome [04:06] onetinsoldier: looks good! just to be clear though, it can make installable images? [04:06] dochaven: its 50% done [04:06] @Buster_Hymen: Remastersys [04:06] randal_: ok [04:06] onetinsoldier: i mean bootable images [04:06] Madsy: personally, I just markauto everything, then unmarkauto what I want and let aptitude remove anything else that's hanging around. But you really need to make sure you know what you want to do that :) [04:07] Chamelion-Digitz: i was under the impression that remastersys didn't preserve everything. or am i wrong? [04:07] randal--> did you ever took the time to read the ubuntu web site and looked around carefully for gotchas? [04:07] where is the txt file containing compiz-config settings? [04:07] Buster_Hymen: hmmm, i doubt it can make a bootable installer cdrom tho.. not sure what to say about that === Guest62466 is now known as invariable [04:07] rww: Thanks. [04:07] how do i delete a ftp server [04:08] onetinsoldier: well it's still great, because i was about to ask for Acronis True Image replacements for *nix =) [04:08] Buster_Hymen: but if you want everything under th sun backed up... there it is [04:08] Actually I never used it. Just saw it on Samurai live cd [04:08] anybody got any ideas on this one...when i run apt-get upgrade i get .. Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img. [04:08] Chameleon-Digitz: yeah i might end up using it, but I don't think it remembers quite everything [04:08] babylon a.d. sucked [04:08] How do I disable the username listing on the power/logout menu? I'm ok with the menu but I don't want the user names listed there. [04:08] dochaven: thankyou it worked why cant they make installing stuff in ubuntu like oc [04:08] dochaven: pc [04:09] ok, so I just installed pulseaudio and seemed to have gotten it working expcept now I installed the equalizer packages and can't seem to find the equalizer control panel... how do I get to it [04:09] randal_: anytime [04:09] how do i format my main hardrive from the live cd before bootup? [04:09] mdmkolbe , im using gnome and it doesnt say, maybe because u have multiple users?? [04:10] nbeebo: yes, I have multiple users [04:10] anyone have the pulseaudio equalizer installed? [04:11] mdmkolbe, well, it isnt possible in the settings, but maybe in gconf, but thats really complicated... [04:12] mdmkolbe, its not too hard === tony__ is now known as xyxxl [04:12] mdmkolbe, thats the user switcher applet [04:13] mdmkolbe, go open gconf [04:14] bueller? [04:14] Vantrax: ok [04:14] mdmkolbe, then go /apps/panel/global/disabled_applets [04:14] Vantrax: wait, do you mean run gconf-editor? or something else? [04:15] my system doesn't let me add more users, adduser says "only 1 or 2 names are allowed". [04:15] mdmkolbe, yep, gconf-editor [04:15] Vantrax: ok, I'm at /apps/panel/global/disable_applets in gconf-editor [04:15] mdmkolbe, then browse that folder tree i said above [04:15] and the graphical add user menu doesn't give me the option to add more users, I can change my real name though which I already did. [04:15] is there a way to have evolution run in the background and either have a tray icon or a message pop (that when clicked will open evolution) when I have a calendar event alarm, task alarm, and new email [04:15] xorlim: do you have ubuntu loaded on windows with wubi? [04:15] damn manuel settings on a camera are so hard to get right [04:16] mdmkolbe, add the panel ID in there for any one you want to disable [04:16] a question...I am attempting to add a background image to GRUB. I have installed Startup Manager, and gfxboot and the various themes. However when I go to the Appearance tab in Startup Manager and try to check the "use background image for bootloader menu" it will not check the box [04:16] !hcl [04:16] 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 [04:16] Vantrax: ok, so how do I find out the panel id? [04:16] anybody got any ideas on this one...when i run apt-get upgrade i get .. Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img. [04:16] Izinucs: no. this is just Ubuntu with Gnome. it came from a magazine, 8.04, and I upgraded it to 8.10 via Internet with update-manager -d if I recall correctly. [04:17] mdmkolbe, should be under apps/panel/default setup/fast user switch/ [04:17] xorlim: that's strange that it won't allow more than 2 users.. not sure how to diagnose that.. hopefully someone else will appear that does. [04:17] mdmkolbe, the bit that says bonoboid [04:17] Izinucs: ok [04:17] hey does anyone here know what gate crasher is? [04:18] Hmm ubuntuhcl.com doesnt' have any entries for HP DVD630i [04:18] i keep seeing gatecrasher on my firewall [04:18] xorlim: one thing you might try is if you have a 2nd account created already, load that and try from there. [04:18] anyone use denyhosts in here? [04:18] ok, maybe an easier question... how can I associate IRC links with a program? [04:18] hi i put the new repository of amarok 2 but how do i install it? [04:18] i just changed some compizconfig settings, now i get logged out immediately. how do i fix it? [04:19] Gatecrasher? anyone? [04:19] Vantrax: ok, the disabled_applets "long description" says I need to restart the pannel for the setting to take effect. Is there a way to easily do that without logging out and back in? [04:19] ozzloy, you need to edit it via live cd or single user mode [04:19] Is there a way (in linux) to scan [04:19] through several folders of .DOC [04:19] files to find a string? [04:19] Izinucs: I don't have a second account created yet, not that I remember of. I will check /etc/passwd for that. [04:19] keeps comming up on my firewall [04:19] oops [04:19] mdmkolbe, nope [04:19] MoLoot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:19] Vantrax: ok, well thanks for the help [04:19] my internet got extremely slow all of a sudden, why can that be? [04:19] Vantrax: i created a new user and am signed in as that right now [04:19] FloodBot3: Can it, it was a mistake... stupid bot [04:19] mdmkolbe, good luck, hope it works for you [04:19] Vantrax: i need to know where the files are that i need to edit [04:20] i bet FloodBot3 loves irssi users lol [04:20] help hi i put the new repository of amarok 2 but how do i install it? [04:20] ozzloy, /home/.gconf/apps/compiz/ [04:20] whats the name of the camera utility ? for importing photos? i lost it when upgrading to kde4.2 [04:20] ozzloy, /home//.gconf/apps/compiz/ [04:21] Vantrax: thanks [04:21] mdmkolbe, what you doing all this for? [04:22] rogan, f-spot ? [04:22] no digicam [04:23] Vantrax: I'm afraid I can't tell you that. Let's just say it is one more (very weak) layer to the security onion. === lendon is now known as evilGUI [04:23] how do I temporarily give program error messages in the English language? [04:23] Is there a way (in linux) to search through a folder for a string in several .doc files [04:23] "adduser: Ainoastaan yksi tai kaksi nimeä sallitaan." --> "adduser: Only one or two names are allowed." [04:23] MoLoot, grep for mor info type man grep in a terminal [04:23] i keep seeing a service called gate crasher in my firewall and when i looked online it said its a windows backdoor but im running linux [04:23] help hi i put the new repository of amarok 2 but how do i install it? [04:24] Vantrax: In .doc format cat ing it gave me a lot of crap on the screen [04:24] mdmkolbe, what are you tyring to do enable remote desktop from console? [04:24] help [04:24] my internet got extremely slow all of a sudden, why can that be? [04:24] Vantrax: hmm, actually after poking around it looks like /apps/fast-user-switch-applet/show_active_users_only is exactly along the lines of what I want [04:24] Dolo: it could be a bot trying to infect you [04:24] histo: no [04:24] it says the source is my ip [04:25] o.O [04:25] k ill reboot then [04:25] mdmkolbe, could be, you didnt say what you wanted:P [04:25] Dolo: try to killall programname [04:25] Dolo: and if that doesn't work, sudo killall programname [04:25] Dolo: install chkrootkit and run it [04:25] 23:26:59 up 11 days, 3:22, 1 user, load average: 1.21, 0.66, 0.61 [04:25] Dolo: http://www.chkrootkit.org [04:25] wrong chan sry [04:25] is something running? on my pc? [04:26] i was getting this from my firewall list [04:26] Dolo: possibly [04:26] dolo, do you run wine? [04:26] Dolo, do you have any windows ocmputers behind you? [04:26] Dolo, or share the internet with windows boxes? [04:26] i do run wine for a ocuple programs [04:26] anyone know how to get pidgin and firefox to handle IRC links correctly? [04:26] like this one? irc://irc.freenode.org/pulseaudio [04:27] Dolo, its not wine [04:27] Dolo, wine can get viruses and malware [04:27] if it was running from my pc would i see it in system monitor? [04:27] Dolo, doesnt sound like a virus tho [04:27] Vantrax: yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear about what I wanted, but at least you got me heading in the direction of gconf so thanks anyway. [04:27] Vantrax, its not wine and that is a wierd statement wine does not equal windows [04:27] chupy: I think it is sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4 [04:27] every few minutes i keep getting a notice in firewall [04:27] Dolo, yes you would see it in system monitor. Which firewall are you talking of? [04:28] histo, check the ubuntu forums, people have got viruses inside wine before. [04:28] firestarter [04:28] along with some wierd red event [04:28] Dolo, are youusing bit torrent? [04:28] Tcpmux on port 1 in red [04:29] ya [04:29] vuze [04:29] exodus_MS: thanks [04:29] Dolo, bit torrent uses the same port and firestarter thinks its gate crasher [04:29] How do I repair my grub? [04:29] ohhhh [04:29] heyyy [04:29] so should i allow that port too? [04:29] hello [04:30] Dolo, if thats the case yes [04:30] ola [04:30] !who | Dolo [04:30] Dolo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:30] can someone get me unbanned from a channel? [04:30] if the back door was for windows and im running linux so it cant do anything to my pc right [04:30] condom_, try #help [04:30] I get this when running chkrootkit never seen this before I installed 8.10 wlan0: PACKET SNIFFER(/sbin/wpa_supplicant[4772], /sbin/dhclient3[5361]) [04:30] hey hey, trying to get the live disk to boot to a avertec 7100 series. its comming to a gray screen...any ideas? [04:30] I have firestarter and moblock installed [04:30] Is there a way for me to convert a .pdf to an image? [04:31] I tried xpdf but I couldn't figure out how [04:31] histo: if its a windows backdoor then my linux wont be affected right [04:31] Dolo, correct as others have stated I guess its possible for wine to run viruses backdoors etc.. that would just mess up you .wine folder in your home if thats even possible. [04:31] Dolo, are you using bit torrent though? [04:31] supertanker: .pdf is an image in a way [04:31] supertanker: yes.. what do you want to convert it to? [04:31] a .png or .jpg [04:31] histo: I'm using Vuze a bit torrent client [04:31] my internet got so slow all of a sudden.. help please :( [04:32] supertanker: sudo apt-get install imagemagick.. then convert file.jpg or png or tif etcc [04:32] Dolo, well you may want to check what port its using. I bet its using the same port that the window trojan uses thats why firestarter is allerting. [04:32] nbeebo, reset your router [04:32] nbeebo, what did you do right before that. [04:32] Dolo, its just mis identifying it. [04:32] Izinucs, Image-magik works? [04:32] marfi, that wont trash anything or something like that? [04:32] supertanker: oh yea.. very well [04:32] ! Thank you! [04:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about Thank you! [04:32] nbeebo, nope, a simple reset of the router always helps [04:32] sliderz, internet as usual, started download as usual, watched a movie, came back, ended downloads, now its slow [04:33] supertanker: np.. if you get stuck I'm here for a while [04:33] my port for bit torrent is a differnt port number but im getting many blocked connections should i just shut firewall off? [04:33] bitcomet in UBuntu? [04:33] marfi, just a question, my router settings will still work? [04:33] marfi ports and stuff [04:33] nbeebo, everything will be there. just unplug the power and plug it back in [04:33] there trojans for linux? [04:33] nbeebo its just hung connections/connections u dont want left over from a bt download or something...reset of router, seconded...nope wont delete anything [04:34] UNLESS you are on some crazed cisco router... [04:34] marfi, sliderz... hmmm ok, just unplug/plug? [04:34] are there trojans for linux? [04:34] nbeebo, yup, and reset your computer while your at it [04:34] nbeebo: unplug and wait about 15 seconds .. then plug it back in [04:34] marfi yep alright ill be back .. [04:34] nbeebo, yup..then it will basically bootup...then net connection will come up, reboot your pc...all good by the time you come back :D [04:34] ok 15 sec thanks... [04:34] hey hey, trying to get the live disk to boot to a avertec 7100 series. its comming to a gray screen from the live cd...any ideas? [04:35] kk brb [04:35] DiiPhantom: yes there are they mainly target servers though [04:35] nbeebo: to kinda check things out and/or keep an eye on your connections and connectivity i suggesting using iptraf. might not tell you what exactly is wrong, but might give good hints [04:35] what are some advantages in having ubuntu OS [04:35] as a developer [04:35] doh.. missed him [04:35] Marfi, u see the machine post? [04:35] it's very rare to find one [04:35] histo: Should I shut off the firewall when running torrent? [04:35] Dolo, you don't have to just make acceptions for those ports. [04:36] kolka: what are you asking? [04:36] sliderz, it will come up to the select screen, and i select use the cd...and it goes gray [04:36] Dolo: why not just froward the ports? [04:36] ? [04:36] Dolo: no [04:36] thank you evilGUI, ill be honest, im changing to linux fromwindows because its security, and its free! [04:36] Marfi - do you have another copy? can you burn one? [04:36] evilGUI: I dont know how to forward ports [04:36] maybe bad cd? [04:36] might could try cd in another machine? [04:36] is there any apps like bitcomet in Ubuntu? [04:36] sliderz, yea, ill burn another one [04:36] hold on [04:36] there is a website for forwarding ports, can i post it here? [04:36] !mp4 [04:36] 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 [04:37] Dolo: Google is your friend, look up "port forwarding" there are a few step by step help pages out there [04:37] compatible with bitcomet I mean [04:37] banteng: use azureus, its the best [04:37] Dolo: what kind of router do you have? [04:37] I don't use a router [04:38] banteng: i like azureus too.. however, there are others [04:38] Dolo: you plug your computer right into your modem? [04:38] Dolo: some modems also have a type of firewall built in [04:38] yup [04:38] DiiPhantom_: I'm using transmission right now [04:38] DiiPhantom_: banteng +1 [04:39] gbear14275: I thought the upside to linux was I wouldnt need to worry bout those things, yes its directly to the modem [04:39] i dont know it banteng but i know azureus, which is know vuze, is all i need :) try it im sure you will love it [04:39] Dolo: it is [04:39] Dolo: if you mean the likliness you will run into virus' and such [04:40] did anyone else loose sound with the new kernel update? i'm on my windows partion for internet right now but is there an easy fix to get sound back? [04:40] Dolo: type route -n into terminal and see if you have a local ip such as 192.168.x [04:40] yes i do [04:40] DiiPhantom_: thanks you [04:40] for the record http://www.portforward.com/ [04:41] DiiPhantom_: I had some real problems with vuze [04:41] what happen? [04:41] DiiPhantom: I was just about to say that [04:41] it worked wohooo! lol [04:41] DiiPhantom_: then had a really hard time uninstalling it [04:41] I use transmission with little issues [04:41] nbeebo so you booted? [04:41] i use vuze with no problems....even in windoes [04:42] whats the problem? gbear14275 and evilGUI [04:42] DiiPhantom_: in windows it wasn't a problem for me but utorrent is by far the king of windows bittorrent clients [04:42] anyone know what SSDP is? [04:42] You can run uTorrent in wine you know === Cute_Bettong_ is now known as Cute_Bettong [04:42] Anyone able to help me get flash set up on my x64 box? I think I've narrowed the problem down to the plugin install. It appears that it installs fine but when it tries to configure there is a download error. I'd paste the output but I don't want to flood the channel. To sum it up, I get this: "download failed" "The Flash plugin is NOT installed." This is from running sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:43] DiiPhantom_: It might be because I am running 64bit linux but I found the updater to mess up my packages and file system... I prefer my applications use the ubuntu package system [04:43] sliderz, yes, and unplugged both the internet-cable and power-cable to the router, and reboot [04:43] I have just finished up using Debian Lenny. Does anyone else report a bad experience? [04:43] evilGUI: how does that work? I haven't touched wine ye [04:43] good to go, nbeebo [04:43] gbear14275: i see well maybe in the future [04:44] im dont for today good night all! [04:44] sliderz thanks [04:44] DiiPhantom_: I plan to revisit later but have some other things to look at first and transmission is working pretty well for me [04:44] sliderz, trie another cd and the same problem [04:44] n/p [04:44] gbear14275: you just install it and can use .exe files just as in windows with some limitations [04:44] Marfi....your boot options in BIOS set with CDROM first? [04:45] do I need Port : 1900 UDP SSDP ? [04:45] evilGUI: as far as utorrent goes though is wine able to provide an environment that allows utorrent to work as well there as it does in windows? [04:45] 1900 is most likely upnp [04:45] God bless and good night! [04:45] sliderz, yes, and its booting to the CD. it comes up to the selection menu for ubuntu, and i select to use it, and thats when it goes gray. i can hear it go to the ubuntu start sound, so i know its a problem with the video [04:46] Hi, my BIOS (phoenix bios) don't recognize my CD-Rom. [04:46] gbear14275: last time I tried it the thing worked fine [04:46] what is your vid specs Marfi? [04:46] evilGUI: Familiar with how wine works... just not familiar with its overhead and limitations... and would suspect that torrent clients would run into trouble [04:46] is there some way to fix that? [04:46] Marfi: try booting with the safe video mode [04:46] anyone knows if you are able to hear sounds on mp4 movies recorded from a phone?? I am unable to hear sound, I can see the video, codecs are all installed, googled it and I see other people have the same problem though I find no solution [04:46] sliderz, nvidia geforce go 6100 [04:46] is the Alternate CD also a liveCD? [04:46] evilGUI: but your using transmission these days? so it must not have worked well enough to stop using transmission ;) [04:46] IdleOne: no.. it's a text installer.. [04:46] IdleOne: no [04:47] IdleOne: no, Desktop CD is also a liveCD. [04:47] sliderz, same problem w/ the safe mode [04:47] sliderz, gonna try xubuntu [04:47] thanks Izinucs polywaffle and xorlim [04:47] !bios [04:47] how do I add users to my system, how come it says "only one or two users are allowed"? [04:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about bios [04:47] what are u trying right now 8.10? [04:47] Marfi: you might remove the "quiet splash" from the boot portion of the kernel line and then you'll see the error messages. [04:47] no probs [04:47] Someone knows to fix or upgrade a bios? [04:48] gbear14275: this laptop is pretty slow so I don't use anything under wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11113 only thing that doesn't work seems to be https [04:48] Izinucs, alright, rebooting [04:48] faryshta: in the old day it was done with a MS-DOS boot diskette. [04:48] faryshta, id look at good for your bios, or check with your motherboard manufacturer for updates [04:48] https does not work with wine last time i checked [04:48] evilGUI: what laptop you using out of curiosity? [04:48] faryshta, google that is [04:48] faryshta: what type of computer? [04:48] this I know because crossweaver chromium does not do https [04:48] sorry [04:48] gbear14275: a old gateway mx3231 given to me by a friend [04:49] is it crossweaver [04:49] faryshta: I would check your motherboard manufacturers website first [04:49] or codeweaver [04:49] #ubuntu-cn [04:49] gbear14275, is an aspire 5100, the bios is calle Phoenix [04:49] gbear14275, the problem is that my CD-Rom is not recognized, then I found that was not neither on bios. [04:49] join #ubuntu-cn [04:49] join #ubuntu-cn [04:50] join ubuntu-cn [04:50] siqi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] ? [04:50] faryshta: ooh... can you get it to boot? [04:50] siqi chinese? [04:50] what directory are sound files found? [04:50] most times, u won't be able to do an upgrade on your bios from linux [04:50] siqi: type /j #ubuntu-cn [04:50] 怎么去中文的？ [04:50] gbear14275, I put some liveCD's right now but they didn't boot [04:50] thank you! [04:50] can anyone help with adding a background image to the GRUB boot menu? [04:50] evilGUI: I was really lucky.... my first laptop was a t30 I bought in 2002 and its still going strong... [04:50] 原来都是自己人 [04:51] faryshta: is there no OS on it right now? [04:51] gbear14275: nice [04:51] Question: how do I open NVIDIA X Server Settings from the terminal (with sudo)? [04:51] evilGUI: I actually recommend them still to this day if you are looking for a low budget machine [04:51] gbear14275, yes, two versions of ubuntu, actually I am using it right now. The not-recognized stuff is my cd-rom [04:52] gksudo [04:52] Izinucs, tried it, and didnt see a problem with it. [04:52] skrypt: install nvidia-settings [04:52] skrypt [04:52] I just upgraded the processor on it and put 2 gig of RAM in it with a BIOS flash and its rock solid [04:52] light on graphics and such but for most tasks its capable [04:52] well if you believe its a bios problem you can flash your bios without the CD ROM [04:52] what directory are sound files found for the system alerts? [04:52] ty Izinucs [04:53] next machine I get needs to have decent graphics I'm sick of this via stuff === rachel is now known as Guest21622 [04:53] skrypt: np [04:53] gbear14275, what you mean by that? [04:53] alright, i have a computer with a nvidia go 6100 that im trying to get to boot with the live disk. its comming up with a gray screen after it loads the splash, and loads xfce or gdm. how do i drop the video settings to get it installed? [04:53] faryshta: sorry, that was to you... I flashed my BIOS by downloading a script... you don't need your CD Drive to repair it [04:53] !ati [04:53] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:53] faryshta: you did say you suspected your BIOS was damaged right? [04:54] gbear14275, yeah. [04:54] !php [04:54] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:54] !ati | evilGUI [04:54] evilGUI: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:54] Marfi: you might just need to use the alternate install cd.. the 6xxx series nvidia cards are rock solid and work well. there's something that blocking correct setup on boot.. [04:54] Hey folks. Does anyone know how to remove packages from a particular repository? [04:55] I have my video working fine 3D just sucks in general [04:55] Izinucs, any way i can do it from the regular cd without downloading the alt cd? doing it for a friend, and hes leaving in the AM [04:55] evilGUI: what card do you have [04:55] evilGUI go buy another one [04:55] it's a laptop [04:55] evilGUI: NVIDIA 6100 series? [04:55] can't [04:55] Marfi: hang on. [04:55] no a via unichrome [04:55] evilGUI can't you get external graphics cards? [04:55] Izinucs, kk [04:55] its 68 degrees outside LOL [04:56] polywaffle, external graphics cards?? [04:56] yes [04:56] ive heard of them before [04:56] I swear ...screw all that nasty weather [04:56] hey all - trying to batch rename, but having problem removing first part of filenames and leaving just the ends [04:56] somewhere [04:56] Its snowing heavy outside. [04:56] lol, don't think so mate [04:56] is there a way to have evolution run in the background and either have a tray icon or a message pop (that when clicked will open evolution) when I have a calendar event alarm, task alarm, and new email [04:56] wesleyy: hi. i compiled that module in my kernel, snd_hda_intel [04:56] Quagmire: its freaking 20 below zero here [04:56] faryshta: you found this site yet? http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5100.html [04:56] onetinsoldier: ok [04:56] well done [04:57] wesleyy: that was all that was needed :-) [04:57] onetinsoldier: :D so it is working now? [04:57] Marfi: when you get the grey screen click ctrl+alt+f3 and it should drop you to a text prompt screen that you can actually see.. try that and let me know if it worked [04:57] gbear14275, thanks I am looking it. but seems only have bios for windows.

I would love for them to actually work right on this machine [04:57] !weather 29601 [04:57] Izinucs: you must have an awesome mouse if it has those buttons on it :P [04:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about weather 29601 [04:57] Izinucs, kk, hold on [04:57] wesleyy: yep.. i now have sound in linux-image-2.6.28-rc8-git2 [04:58] onetinsoldier: w00ties! congrats [04:58] Izinucs, will that bring me a terminal? [04:58] I installed some packages from an experimental repository, and I am trying to remove them all in one fell swoop. Does anyone know how to remove packages by repo or by date even? [04:58] wesleyy: i agree.. w00t! thanks [04:58] Marfi: yes.. did it do that? [04:58] BIOS is actually mostly OS neutral so even though it says windows it will work for Linux as well [04:58] hi. does anyone use moblock [04:58] Izinucs, booting it right now, gonna try it once i hear the yummy ubuntu music [04:58] Linux is actually not dependent on BIOS but aspects of it rely on BIOS info [04:59] faryshta: sorry that was to you... i'm forgetting to use your name... sorry [04:59] Help Needed: I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on a Macbook using CD, but no matter what I do, if I boot from the CD, I simply get a textual menu with Boot: where I'm able to enter text, but no matter what I enter it complains about no finding a kernel image. If I simply press enter it says the same thing, but with linux at the end. Like "Cannot find kernel image: linux" [05:00] djet13: sounds like a bad burn.. the iso must be burned s.l.o.w. [05:00] gbear14275, well, then why it don't recognize my cd-rom, and can't boot from there? [05:00] djet13: is it a bad burn? [05:00] just asking gbear14275 [05:00] evilGUI: i mean it's possible. i verified the burn after burning it though and it checked out fine. [05:00] faryshta: have you checked your BIOS settings? [05:00] anyone have the problem in firefox where it is larger than the actual screen size? [05:00] oops ...I'm so sorry I thought I was typing that in another channel ...sorry [05:00] djet13, did you download the right cd for the processor? [05:01] Marfi, yes [05:01] djet13: it's a intel macbook correct? [05:01] and honestly... I don't know enough about linux device recognition and the drivers to be able to answer that [05:01] idejmcd: the web page or the entire FF window? [05:01] Marfi: yes it is. i downloaded the i386 version [05:01] Izinucs, its not bringing up a workspace [05:02] lzinucs: the entire ff window [05:02] idejmcd: maybe wrong resolution for the screen.. or can you resize it.. dragging? [05:02] so... anyone here have the pulseaudio equalizer on the machine? [05:02] gbear14275, yeah, the CD-ROM wasn't there. [05:03] Izinucs, ctrl alt backspace resets it though...but the screen doesn't do anything [05:03] how can i change my computers name...? when you install ubuntu you choose a name, i would like to change it, cmd line preferred === Guest21622 is now known as rnavarro [05:03] Marfi: so you think i should try reburning? [05:03] gbear14275: what are you talking about, an additional module for pulseaudio i haven't heard about? [05:03] Marfi: arg.. that's strange.. does the computer have an onboard video card and a seperate card that the monitor is plugged into? [05:03] i feel gedit nowadays not quick enough for me, any suggestion for an easy change-to? [05:03] Izinucs, laptop, and its an onboard nvidia 6100 [05:03] djet13, i would say yea [05:04] Marfi: Gotcha. Thanks for the help! [05:04] rdw200169: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [05:04] iHome: nano =P [05:04] lzinucs: it's not a consistent problem, so i don't think that it has to do with the resolution of the window. it happens when i click a link and the browser is on a different desktop [05:04] Marfi ctrl+alt+f3 or f2 does nothing? [05:04] rdw200169: system wide equalizer [05:04] iHome: you can use pico (nano) like evilGUI suggests [05:04] gbear14275: that would be sweet, do you have a link for it? [05:04] evilGUI: let me check in a sec ... [05:04] but if i do a full screen and then back to reg screen it fixes (using f11 shortcut) [05:04] Izinucs, nada. doesn't flicker or anything [05:05] I cannot play a dvd on ubuntu but can in windows. I have libdvdread installed, can anybody help? [05:05] idejmcd: sounds like a weird quirk on your system.. mine doesn't do that.. sorry no more suggestions. [05:05] gbear14275: i'm pretty good with mangling the pulseaudio configs, sychronous output and such, and that would be useful! [05:05] discord_, need to run a script to get it to run [05:05] rdw200169: i m doing basic php coding, and sometimes manipulate data. eg today: 100,000 lines of 50 chars, replace " with ' and gedit got stuck [05:05] use vim [05:05] Marfi: which script [05:05] iHome: you may want to consider vim, [05:05] discord_, actually, you need libdvdcss2 [05:05] Marfi: if you download the alternate cd using bittorrent (or similar prog) it should download quick.. that might be the solution... [05:06] rdw200169: I was really looking for a GUI based equalizer for the system and got pointed to pulseaudio... I think i just realized its not gui based here... [05:06] rdw200169: vim is the last to learn. someone suggest 1 year ago, never learn howto do with vim [05:06] Izinucs, ok, ill check the speed o the download. once i have it, what do i do? will it give me different boot options via the vid drivers? [05:06] iHome: they have some crazy useful features, for replace like that, it would be s/"/' or something like that [05:06] iHome: i can't remember if it would require escapes, regardless, it's useful [05:06] gbear14275: i don't know, but pulseaudio does have a taskbar applet which is incredibly useful [05:07] rdw200169: same with ereg, i never got a clue what-to-do :D [05:07] iHome: if you like gedit... this might interest you [05:07] iHome: http://www.micahcarrick.com/09-29-2007/gedit-html-editor.html [05:07] iHome: yeah, vim is a pain for a while, but it's well worth the effort [05:07] rdw200169: well. i m looking for retire soon. [05:07] iHome: you can also try something like pida (http://pida.co.uk/) [05:07] rdw200169: is it an additional package or? where do i find it/get to it at? [05:07] can someone help me figure out how to install the pvrusb2 stuff? i'm having some difficulties with the directions [05:07] iHome: it's an IDE that integrates vim or emacs, moo in the future [05:08] rdw200169: ok thanks [05:08] Marfi: the alternate cd is a text installer only .. there won't be a gui at all.. just on screen instructions.. it's easy.. you might do your friend a favor when installing and manually do the partitioning.. root 8-12 gigs.. /swap at 1 gig and the rest for /home.. that way if he needs to reinstall in the future he can without loosing all his data in /home [05:09] gbear14275: it's called 'pulse audio device chooser', i think in synaptic it's padevchooser, search for pulse audio in synaptic and you should find it pretty quickly [05:09] iHome: there also is a program in the ubuntu repos called gphpedit that is basically a customized gedit instance that is very nice... might think about it if you are trying to find an IDE [05:09] Izinucs, yea, thats kind of how i have mine set up. =) aight, thank you much! [05:09] Marfi: np... good luck [05:09] rdw200169: ok... Ive got that running already [05:09] iHome: or cream, which is a easier version of vim [05:09] Anyone have a recommendation on a command line music player that can do mp3s and audio cds?

[05:11] rdw200169: i noticed it does some advanced stream monitoring, routing and volume control but I'm really looking for a GUI based equalizer [05:11] where is the good old xmms GUI front end? [05:11] xmms2 has nothing [05:11] rdw200169: mmm. interesting. text-edit is one of the first application we need. hope gedit(the ubuntu-default) will be better tomorrow? [05:11] Izinucs: are you thinking of mpc and nmpc? [05:11] defn: moc is one [05:11] err yea [05:11] defn: could be.. synaptic shows one called moc too [05:11] yeah moc rules [05:11] someone know how to upgrade, the bios on Linux? [05:11] does anyone know how to backup all of the bookmarks, passwords and logins for firefox? [05:11] Izinucs: yeah it's called moc, but it runs as `mocp` [05:12] screenshot for pw's [05:12] iHome: who knows, there's so much animosity when it comes to that, that there will likely never be an end; the vim and emacs guys have been fighting it our for years :) [05:12] exprot bookmarks to html file [05:12] Izinucs: if only it did audio cds [05:12] :( [05:12] rdw200169: pida look nice to me, nano looks like vim, and i m not in a mood to try [05:12] iHome: well, more like decades now [05:12] I installed sshd on my laptop and I cna't ssh to it over my lan. I generated the RSA key the service is running and there is no rules in iptables. Is there somethign else filtering connection? I can't even ping the box. it gets out to eh internet and the rest of the entwork just fine [05:12] ok, so my goal which I failed miserably was to look into how to customize my desktop... anyone have any good guides [05:13] the main function I am looking to do is embed some system info into the wallpaper [05:13] Omikane_, What i do is to install google toolbar. [05:13] then same my bookmarks there. [05:13] iHome: there's also editra, it does search and replace [05:13] about configurations, I don't know. [05:13] Omoikane__: 'cp ~/.mozilla ~/backups' (create backups folder if you dont already have one of course) [05:13] i've got "screenlets" installed right now but I'm not sure thats what I'm looking for [05:13] Faryshta I have to reinstall firefox === rachel is now known as Guest97611 [05:13] Omoikane__ you can 'export' your bookmarks from the customize menu [05:14] rdw200169: what do you use? not gedit and not vim [05:14] Anyone here ever used hugin to actually create panorama photos? Every time I try it it either crashes or throws an error while attempting to generate either the preview or the actual pano image... [05:14] Omoikane__: you still wondering how to backup the bookmarks? [05:14] Omoikane__, just backup .mozilla folder from your home directory [05:14] iHome: i use pida, with vim [05:14] jbmigel: when you say 'export' your bookmarks, it sounds like you're talking about pooping === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [05:14] rdw200169: oh dear. gedit finally finish the replace 10-15 minutes ! [05:14] Omikane_, the configurations files are on /home/USER/.mozilla [05:14] wow... can someone look over a warning I got to sanity check it for me please? [05:14] defn: the correct term is 'defecate' [05:14] when you add a new source to your repository, how do you get the public key? [05:15] rdw200169: no, i'm pretty sure it's poop-- turds actually. [05:15] Omoikane__: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup and then restart FF and see if that fixes things.. [05:15] I think will be enough to save that folder Omikane_ [05:15] defn well i dont even want to talk about importing them back in then [05:15] lol [05:15] rdw200169: me still in honeymoon with gedit. still want to keep it for a while :D [05:15] ahh, toilet humor [05:15] gbarberi, what is your warning?

[05:17] since i upgraded to 8.10 my tnt2 doesnt work anymore. nvidia doesnt seem to be in a hurry to release a driver. can i downgrade xorg on 8.10 or i must reinstall 8.04 [05:17] skrypt: depends on the repository. many of them have instructions for doing that. Some don't have public keys (e.g. launchpad PPAs) [05:17] gbear14275, 8.10, I meant... [05:18] gbear14275: sorry , missed your link, please paste the link again here ?

I'm pretty sure I got that set of packages to be removed @ some point in the upgrade process [05:18] deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free [05:18] I'm also trying to update OpenOffice to 3 [05:18] Madpilot: but I've been running 8.10 for a while.. just did a apt-get autoremove [05:19] izinucs okay it worked but how do I reload my books marks & stuff. [05:19] sdfkjlaso;dfj [05:19] gbear14275, ah, that's where I saw it. Apt is pretty intelligent, so let it yank stuff if it says it's OK. [05:19] Madpilot: any of that the firefox java capability? [05:19] Madpilot: ok thanks [05:19] nvidia driver is broken with 8.10 since it ships with xorg 1.5 what are my option apart buying a new card which is not an option in this old thing [05:20] gbear14275, I don't think so, but java's easy to re-install if it needs to be [05:20] which is the best irc client for ubuntu ?

I downloaded an imagemagick script that resizes and crops an image to a desired aspect ratio. The only problem is that in the script, it has the character "^" at the end of its geometry string. I saw that string on the internet in another guide for what I'm trying to do. But apparently, my version of ImageMagick doesn't support it. When I give it a geometry string that has ^ at the end, it says that it's invalid.

Why? It's just at the end of a geometry string, for example: 1280x800 [05:34] jpastore: they should already be allowed. I assume you aren't running a firewall?

[05:34] [TiZ]: just guessing.. doesn't make sense to me either.. sorry [05:34] madmn_, update gcc? you mean you want a later version than is in intrepid? [05:34] madmn_, if sudo apt-get upgrade don't work, then you need to add some repository file to the sources.list [05:34] whyameye, no iptables -nL yeilds no rules.

[05:36] Omoikane__: use nautilus to do it with the gui instead of the command line.. might be easier.. just right mouse click on the files you need to rename.. you can't have .mozilla inside a .mozilla.backup because they are not directories but text files. [05:37] nbeebo, yeah, mine starts about 15 minutes before the timestamps of the files. But I figured the date would be enough :) [05:37] jpastore: can you ping 101?

[05:37] whyameye, no but I can ping 104. when the wire is not plugged in mI can ping out but not in on the wifi [05:38] alright I don't care enough anymore I'm going to bed I'll try again tmr [05:38] jpastore: I am always suspicious of Network Manager but I don't know in this case. [05:38] sup rooms [05:39] * Vantrax waves [05:39] onetinsoldier: Do you know much about say for example, I install a program with apt-get now apt-get downloads the program and installs it. But sometimes depending on the program a kernel is installed, does that new kernel work or will it work with my system, will it still have realtime capabilties? [05:39] izinucs .mozilla isn't in .mozilla.backup. .mozilla.backup is inside .mozilla [05:40] Izinucs, got the cd, and working on the install now [05:40] almark1, apt will update the programs when it installs a new kernel if need be. Very few programs break, and usually they are ones you had to kernel patch yourself [05:40] <\Kira> whats that build in linux network monitering program called? It shows ARP requests and stuff. Net something. Does anyone know? [05:40] Omoikane__: either way it doesn't make any sense.. [05:40] Marfi: cool.. let me know how it goes. [05:41] \Kira, You talking about netstat? [05:41] my pidgin keeps freezing up when I use AIM [05:41] is there some kind of log I can view to see what's going on? [05:41] Omoikane__ try to find 'bookmarks.html' somewhere in your backup [05:41] \Kira: tcpdump [05:42] <\Kira> Vantrax: No, the program Im thinking of has a constant output. [05:42] Vantrax: I am using Ubuntu Studio, and I have like 3 kernels should I just let it decide, I'm used to setting a kernel up, not letting it do it on its own? Will it still have rt ? [05:42] \Kira: or the gtk+ frontend wireshark [05:42] <\Kira> Vantrax: Boohbah just told me it :) [05:42] \Kira tcpdump probably then [05:42] <\Kira> Boohbah: exactly! thanks [05:42] \Kira: also check out IPtraf, it's like tcpdump with curses [05:42] oh also since I installed ggl-gtk, x11 doesn't start by default [05:42] <\Kira> Boohbah: curses? [05:42] almark1, are you actively using the three kernels [05:43] hey, I just downloaded synfig studio from the add/remove apps. When I start it the splash screen for the program pops up, then the program will start loading, then stop running. How can I figure out what the problem is? [05:43] <\Kira> Boohbah: what are curses? [05:43] what is synaptics ? [05:43] \Kira: curses is the command line gui library for drawing boxes and such [05:44] Vantrax: No, but I had to use a eariler one due to the last one that was automatically made not working, I want to install lm sensors, that will install another kernel and add on the menu.lst, just need to clear this up [05:44] <\Kira> Boohbah: I see, thanks [05:44] teko: they manufactured my laptop touchpad... [05:44] izinucs okay, sorry. I had to take a second to figure it out. the bookmarks are back so where do we go from here? [05:44] no i need it for the universe repository to install ghc [05:44] \Kira: iptraf is nice because it shows stateful connection information rather than single packets, a higher level view than a raw tcpdump [05:44] almark1, sounds like its managing it itself, I would guess it would be ok not having installed it myself [05:45] teko: that would be synaptic, the ubuntu package manager [05:45] anyone help with batch renaming files.. trying to remove first part of file name and leave end the same [05:45] <\Kira> Boohbah: okay, I get it. I think ill look into that. thanks :) [05:45] where do i get that ? [05:45] mkquist: ask in #bash [05:45] Omoikane__: go to Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks and you'll see the backup option at the top right of the window. [05:45] defn: ty [05:45] Vantrax: I think letting it have its way, is the only way, I said last CUSTOM instal of Ubuntu if you can't be the thing join it. [05:46] beat [05:46] izinucs okay [05:46] what is the best cpu temp program to use in ubuntu? and what apt-get install do I use? [05:47] Omoikane__: save them where you can find them.. then delete .mozilla .. restart FF and then Bookmarks>Organze Bookmarks and restore [05:48] how to open .sqlite files? i downloaded sqlite from ubuntu repo but no clue how to use it, even with man... [05:48] almark1, you can have some system monitor show it, like gkrellm [05:48] would *lm_sensors* be the program, or something else? [05:48] is there a way to have evolution run in the background and either have a tray icon or a message pop (that when clicked will open evolution) when I have a calendar event alarm, task alarm, and new email [05:48] are there any ubuntu developers here?? [05:48] ice_cream: do I need to install lm_sensors first? [05:48] srip, unlikely, you might get a MOTU if your lucky [05:49] ok nevermind [05:49] i dont know what that is, and dont see it in aptitude [05:49] ice_cream: its named somthing else like applet or something, will gkrellm have everything with it? [05:49] that's not a package name [05:49] i installed ubuntu8.04 removed totem and installed mplayer via synaptic,now its not booting [05:49] nbeebo: sqlite database.db < dump.sql [05:50] hellhound: evolution data server is alway running even when evo isn't .. it's tied to the date up by the clock and will remind you of appointments.. check it out by making an appointment 5 mins in the future then close Evo. [05:50] is ubuntu any good?? [05:50] ice_cream: oh [05:50] srip: no [05:50] srip, depends what you want, but generally yes [05:50] i installed ubuntu8.04 removed totem and installed mplayer via synaptic,now its not booting [05:50] srip: I don't think mplayer or totem is why your machine isn't booting. Something else is going on. [05:50] srip: that wouldn't have coused it. === wainesten is now known as N3TS [05:50] srip, its not either of those [05:51] so i just installed conky via synaptic and am wondering how to get to the application... does it have GUI? [05:51] almark1, i see something called wmtemp i guess.. gkrellm is highly configurable.. google for screenshots.. i personally use it just for cpu temp, volume bars, and show my battery percent (laptop) [05:51] srip is it giving any errors [05:51] how about a specific error message, srip? [05:51] ice_cream: thanks :) [05:51] the desktop is showing but the 2 tabs for application and bottom is not showing [05:51] np [05:52] srip: did you try restarting again? [05:52] somebody knows what program i can use as peer to peer client in ubuntu?, like ares in windows [05:52] izinucs it said it was unable to process the backup file. [05:52] yes its not rebboting.wasnt it suppoed to work poerfectly???? [05:52] !p2p | israel [05:52] israel: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [05:53] srip: what do you mean it is not rebooting? Did you reboot a 2nd time? [05:53] gbear14275, i dont think so, you use scripts with it -> http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/09/27/gmail-weather-beauty-right-on-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [05:53] yes [05:53] i have to poweroff [05:53] Hey. Does the laptop HD killer bug still exist in 8.10? [05:53] Starcraftmazter, no [05:53] ice_cream: does this gkrellm have temp with it, I don't see it, i just installed it, wow small [05:53] oh good :D [05:53] was fixed before release [05:53] hi, wazzup guys [05:54] Omoikane__: did you restart FF before trying? [05:54] Vantrax: I want to embed the conky stats into the desktop... is that a tough config or are there alot of writeups on the subject [05:54] almark1, here's a screenshot i had from before.. conky is running in the background, and light blue on bottom left is gkrellm http://i37.tinypic.com/2lc7kp2.jpg [05:54] srip: when you right-click where the upper or lower panel was do you get a context menu? [05:54] izinucs yes [05:54] no [05:54] http://i37.tinypic.com/2lc7kp2.jpg [05:54] oops [05:55] ubottu: which you recommend me?, thanks in advice [05:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:55] srip: when you say you have the desktop do you literally have icons and such, or just the background picture? [05:55] just background pic [05:55] gbear14275, head to the link i gave you [05:55] srip: 8.10? [05:55] 8.04 [05:56] ice_cream: I see it, not a temp checker then, Nice desktop cool pic [05:56] Omoikane__: I don't know what you're doing.. but it shouldn't be doing that..I'm stuck at this point [05:56] how do i search for a word inside some files? [05:56] ice_cream: is that fluxbox? [05:57] izinucs do you think something could be corrupt? [05:57] nbeebo: cat filname | grep searchword [05:57] yes [05:57] izinucs it backed up to a .json file [05:57] what did you mean by temp checker? [05:57] srip: no idea. But one thing: don't power off like that again. You need to do a clean shutdown. If you can't from the windowed environent hit f1 and login, then "sudo reboot". Also you can restart the window manager with . [05:57] Omoikane__: by the sound of it.. the bookmark backup file [05:57] ice_cream: lol beat you to it, I see fluxbox running in your background programs [05:57] jbmigel, how u search a whole directory? [05:58] =) [05:58] where can i find ubuntu developers/HR [05:58] What's the best way to partition ubuntu? [05:58] I know you want /home and / to be on different ones [05:58] hello? [05:58] <_loverboy_> jacobbs [05:59] <_loverboy_> gparted [05:59] Does anyone use Blender in Ubuntu? [05:59] I can't access my hard drives, I have 3 in the computer, and under the media folder it shows about 5 drive folders, but they all seem to be mounted to the same folder, and I can't find the other hard drives...help? [05:59] No no, not which program to use [05:59] What sizes? [05:59] <_loverboy_> jacobbs : gparted [05:59] Let me rephrase. [06:00] I am having graphic problems in Ubuntu with it [06:00] I'm installing Ubuntu on a new machine. What parition sizes should I assign to /home and root? [06:00] why do graphics suck in ubuntu????mandriva has very good desktop theme????? [06:00] <_loverboy_> axle : try fdisk -l in root mode [06:00] ? [06:00] nbeebo: grep searchword /put/path/here [06:00] Hey all. How to i use fwcutter since it is in 9 parts? [06:01] jbmigel, thank you very much [06:01] " why do graphics suck in ubuntu????mandriva has ...." i wonder how many things are wrong with that statement [06:01] try 100mb or less to /home and at least 10gig that is what I have 10 or more 15 20 big drive like 100gb I suppose would be 20 gig in my opinion [06:01] nbeebo no trouble at all my friend [06:01] 10gig to / [06:01] <\Kira> Since linux requires admin password to port forward, doesnt it make it impossible to bypass firewalls on a unsecured network (like school :D) if you dont have the admin pass (which I dont) [06:01] ai leh knalan? [06:01] but I have a 40gig drive [06:02] _loverboy_: what do I do with the list from fdisk -l? [06:02] ai leh kenalan ga ? [06:02] ice_cream,my display is not good ,iuse pixels moothenig for my lcd [06:02] I am used to old Linux and old Windows, and I think Ubuntu has a great desktop theme and great graphics. [06:02] gbear14275: geany is great :D thanks. [06:02] <_loverboy_> it shows all the disks on your computer [06:02] Jacobbs: want to see my partition layout? i use /usr/local and make dirs in there to store stuff as well as /home ,but there is no exact measure of how much space you have to have on partitions, except for a minimum [06:02] <_loverboy_> then you can mount the ones that are not mounted automatically with mount [06:02] I am sorry /home should be musch more, I thought you meant /boot my bad /home should be a good amount [06:03] <_loverboy_> "mount" command [06:03] isnt ubuntu supported bya millinnaire,even community developed products like fedora have better graphics [06:03] ubuntu generally has good graphics support (good default xorg config) by default [06:03] onetinsoldier, I just made a 10gb root [06:03] if I just leave the disk as freespace, can Ubuntu use it? [06:03] Jacobbs: ok, roger [06:03] srip, ubuntu is generally considered one of the "prettier" distros [06:03] nbeebo hey i lied you need a * at the end!: grep searchword /put/path/here/* [06:03] also, it should be a logical type right? [06:04] ice_cream: is there a better ati driver to use in Ubuntu Studio 8.10 I have an older card [06:04] thank you _loverboy_ [06:04] almark1, i dont know. google/ubuntuforums is your friend =) [06:04] srip: ubuntu is also community developed.. just because you haven't figured out how to configure it ie, video drivers, layout etc.. don't knock it.. if you want delete and move to fedora [06:04] <_loverboy_> :) [06:04] are your friends* =) [06:05] ice_cream: forums, looked here looked there, looked under a rock, no help anywhere, card is radeon ati 8500, ring a bell? [06:05] !ati [06:05] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:05] jbmigel, hmm ok :/ lol no problem, i cd'd to the path then cat * | grep searchword [06:05] * ice_cream shrugs [06:05] izinucks,why isnt there a native backup tool in ubuntu? [06:05] i dont know if that is a solution or not [06:05] ice_cream: thanks you and your bot :) [06:06] not mine =D [06:06] lol [06:06] almark1: I have an ati card in my old dapper machine and I haven't upgraded because my understanding is the newer ati binaries don't support the older cards. [06:06] [13:03] ice_cream: is there a better ati driver to use in Ubuntu Studio 8.10 I have an older card << you might be better off the "older" version of the driver and doing a manual install [06:06] everyones computer buddy [06:06] srip: there's lots of backup tools .. choose the one you want.. dd is installed and synaptic has a bunch of others. [06:06] jbmigel, but urs worked better.. thanks [06:06] nbeebo sweet! theres lots of ways to do it [06:06] whyameye: that is what I read on the net, too bad, do you have a solution [06:07] gl [06:07] * ice_cream goes to watch some vid [06:07] almark1: my solution was not to update that machine beyond dapper. :-/ [06:07] izinucs,how to improve display in ubuntu>??in mandriva and fedora they come up automatically [06:07] if I assign two home mount points, do they both just act as one space? [06:07] srip: you mean make your video card work? [06:08] whyameye: what were the consequences, no new programs, especially no Ubuntu Studio no updates ack, is that my only hope, hope not [06:08] hey all quick question i have a OLD laptop with a busted cdrom, it cannot boot from usb.. is there a way to have a bootdisk that will allow me to boot from a usb device? [06:08] because i would like to install ubuntu on it [06:08] izinucs,video card is working but the theme and display are not as effective as in fedora/mandriva [06:08] almark1: the open source ati driver would be ok if you don't need 3D accel, I imagine. [06:08] can I safely remove all compiz packages that show up in synaptic while searching for compiz? [06:08] Just bought new notebook, and installed ubuntu 8.10 - Notice that when a file is sent to trash, the icon remains the same, and pointing at it displays "No items in Trash", but there is and right click on "Empty Trash" Anyone know how to fix this? [06:09] whyameye: for the most part they work fine but they do have limits, and they are not pretty for my card, Blender crashes with DRI on :( [06:09] whyameye: compiz works even in the interpid version [06:09] srip: that's estetics.. make it what you want.. check out gnomelook.org and other places and get what you want.. don't knock it just becuase you don't like the initial look.. [06:10] lol [06:10] almark1: yeah, I don't know. If it isn't a laptop you could get a cheap nvidia card. [06:10] Izinucs, correction: gnome-look.org [06:11] whyameye: I have searched for 2 weeks or more for this solution, no aval, maybe its just not going to work I knew you was going to say that Nvidia I know I know. [06:11] whyameye: Can't afford one [06:11] whyameye: Laptops [06:11] izinucks,i installed 8.04 didnot do system update,removed totem and installed mplayer...Its not rebboting now [06:11] almark1: so you are using open source ati driver and glxgears looks OK? [06:12] hi everyone [06:12] whyameye: oh yeah, they work fine, weird huh [06:12] how should i partition my 500GB hard drive for ubuntu? [06:12] almark1: so your big problem is that blender is crashing with DRI on? [06:13] srip do you think maybe you removed more than just totem? [06:13] whyameye: but I see a glitch in the glxgears window when I try to move it it just keeps making ghosts [06:13] jbmigel,i did search in syn and removed totem related packs only [06:14] whyameye: that is it, and I imagine Wine will wine you know what I mean about my card and not the right verison of xorg. In Gentoo that happened to me as well, I can't fix that either. [06:14] srip: give him the whole story. "Not rebooting" isn't even close to describing your problem. [06:14] onats, you should just follow guided partitioned table during installation [06:14] whyameye,only the background theme shows up....no app tab [06:14] luke, guided will create one big partition [06:14] whyameye: I have tryed a program called envyNG or is it HG that is suppose to install the ati version you need [06:15] jbmigel,only the background theme shows up....no app tab [06:15] almark1: yeah I used to use that before 8.04 [06:15] yes, that's right [06:15] whyameye: Is there a way to downgrade xorg in 8.10 to a more compatible version for my card? [06:15] and i dont want that.. [06:15] srip well totem is a media player, it has nothing to do with your theme or desktop... you must have deleted something important [06:16] almark1: I remember looking into that too. Decided it looked unlikely to succeed. But haven't tried myself. [06:16] I have two disks, both 160gb. One disk is all /home, the other disk is split into /, swap and a bunch of space for /usr atm [06:16] Is this a good way to do the paritioning? [06:16] Is advanced math required to learn to code in C++? [06:16] jbmigel,isnt syanptic supposed to show only totem when we search totem [06:16] no [06:16] whyameye: I tried it, but it sent me to term and didn't connect back with xstart, I had to uninstall it. I'll try it again though [06:16] I want the user to be able to access that space, but I am unsure of how to do so. [06:17] well I partition my harddisk as Jacobbs did [06:17] evilGUI: whether or not you need to know advanced math depends on what you're coding not what language you're using [06:17] srip why dont you go troll somewhere else [06:17] <_loverboy_> evilGUI : highschool maths is enough [06:17] whyameye: Usually if you can't find the answer to something, there is no answer lol [06:17] Jacobbs: should be ok, shouldn't be anything wrong with it [06:17] alright thanks [06:17] Okay [06:17] almark1: you said it's an 8500 ATI? the latest driver supposedly supports that. [06:17] will I be able to use that space given to the /usr partition though? [06:18] That's my only worry [06:18] Jacobbs: yes [06:18] whyameye: yes it is, I have read that whyameye, but how do I install that in Ubuntu? [06:18] jbmigel,why dude ?reu on ubuntu payroll?? [06:18] some ppl have some weird exits lol [06:18] almark1: restricted or hardware drivers manager. [06:18] Oh, I can make up mount points? O.o [06:18] I just made up /media [06:18] the question is, the sizes of the partition actually... [06:18] is this cool? [06:19] Jacobbs: here.. let me show you mine.... [06:19] almark1: my card is a 7500 which is not in the latest ati driver support. [06:19] whyameye: straight from the amd.com site, I want to intall thouse [06:19] whyameye: I guess its my lucky day right? ;) sorry that yours isn't, but i'm not going to jump the gun just yet. [06:19] almark1: why not try the ubuntu ones first? They are still the Ati proprietary drivers. [06:20] Jacobbs: hang on [06:20] whyameye: O.k do you know the apt-get install? [06:20] Is there a way to download/install gnash from the repos for my version of Ubuntu? uname -a = Linux PS3 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp #1 SMP Tue Sep 30 16:40:22 UTC 2008 ppc64 GNU/Linux [06:20] whyameye: what to type I mean [06:20] almark1: I can tell you how to do it in Gnome... [06:21] whyameye: The nice thing about Ubuntu, is if I mess it up to bad just reinstall ubuntu 20 min do lol ms can't do that :P [06:21] whyameye: Using Gnome, go ahead [06:21] onetinsoldier, I've sent you my setup in PM [06:21] almark1: system -> admin -> hardware drivers. [06:21] take your time :) [06:21] help - http://pastebin.ca/1285720 [06:21] Jacobbs: ok [06:21] almark1: sure ms can do that Oo but not including drivers lol :) [06:22] whyameye: NO I mean XP can't lol 6 hours lol [06:22] Izinucs, got it installed on the system now, but the same thing with the driver is going on. any ideas? =/ [06:22] whyameye: If you mess up windows to bad it takes a long time I have heard and btw I use windows too. [06:22] almark1: i need 20minutes for a fresh install doesnt matter which OS :) [06:23] whyameye: you have a dual core, lucky you :P [06:23] almark1: I use windows at work. I gotta go in a minute. Did system -> admin ->hardware drivers show an option for an ATI graphics driver? [06:23] jbmigel,r u ubuntu employee/mark somebody who backed u buntu???? [06:23] whyameye: no, I don't have any of them [06:24] Hi. What driver I should use in Ubuntu if I have graphics card what is: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03)" [06:24] whyameye: I'll ask in here don't want to bother you too much [06:24] I mean, auto detection works. [06:24] But, I need manually set other configs [06:24] what's the best software to view the linux kernel source? [06:24] almark1: lspci shows an ATI graphics card 8500 and you don't see an option for a driver in hardware drivers? weird. [06:24] But I can't find what driver I shpuld use, then? [06:24] whyameye: thank you for your advice [06:24] I mean, vesa not work and via also not work. [06:24] Any idea? [06:24] whyameye: no its blank [06:25] jbmigel,who are u dude? [06:25] whyameye: lspci | grep -i ati shows it [06:25] almark1: but lspci confirms ubuntu sees an 8500 ATI card? [06:25] whyameye: yes [06:25] So, is there any way to see what driver is currently in use? [06:26] whyameye: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE] [06:26] whyameye: the proof is in the pudding lol [06:26] almark1, wat [06:26] I'm having the strangest problem running Ubuntu 8.04, Compiz (included version), and nVidia TwinView. I can't drag a window from my left screen to the right, but I can drag one from the right screen to the left. This sound like it's compiz, X, gnome, or what? [06:26] its a phase === RakZ is now known as Rakeer [06:26] almark1: so envyNG didn't work because... [06:27] whyameye: no I'm afraid not, but I didn't have Ubuntu setup right that time, it was kinda customized for my /boot directory [06:27] how much my swap file is supposed to be? [06:27] because i manually assigned a size for it [06:27] which is around 2GB [06:27] will linux everbe a alternative for windows desktop?i tried ubuntu/mandriva/fedora/pclinuxos nothing works properly..... [06:27] the problem is, now my startup is slower [06:27] so what should i "Return" it to? [06:28] whyameye: I think I will do it again. [06:28] srip : define "properly" [06:28] and its not an alternative to windows, its an alternative to UNIX [06:28] whyameye: Do you think that ubuntu is using mesa drivers? [06:28] thats why its Unix-like [06:28] srip : oh, and once you know how to use it properly you'll love it [06:28] orgthingy,if i use default setup from cd it works but if i update system/add packs the system becomes unusabel [06:29] almark1: if you do "glxinfo | grep render" it will tell you if direct rendering is "yes" or "no" [06:29] whyameye: Believe it or not, I have 3d working, I can't rotate the desktop cube with the compiz program [06:29] srip : OH REALLY? [06:29] (really?) [06:29] almark1: what driver is ubuntu using now? [06:29] and how is it unusable ? srip [06:29] whats the name if the curses based app that sets up network address subnet gateway etc ? [06:29] whyameye: isnt that something OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL [06:30] whyameye: Mesa! [06:30] <\\`oot> Hi? [06:30] almark1: so direct rendering was No? [06:30] whyameye: oh its on it works [06:30] orgthingy,it wont reboot/errors--lqatest printers are not supported [06:30] whyameye: but Blender doesn't like dri being on with mesa drivers, I have trouble shooting this thing to death [06:31] whyameye: sorry shooted [06:31] almark1: unfortunately I do need to go. Not sure I helped much. Good luck. I think this is one you can fix, actually. [06:31] whyameye: to verify with you Direct Rendering is yes [06:31] srip : hmmm, it doesnt happen for me [06:31] whyameye: you gave me hope :) thanks [06:31] almark1: I am wondering if you might be using the ati prop driver already. [06:32] <\\`oot> does anyone use "themes" with a nice high-end vid card? [06:32] <\\`oot> I'm having a rediculously hard time trying to figure all this out [06:32] srip : I used linux since 1998, and it wasnt that good for an average user and it was for me.. what you're saying doesnt really "make sense" [06:32] whyameye: man lol I dont know I'm still new to Ubuntu a week old, i know I said I had been looking for this answer for 3 weeks but that was in Gentoo as well. [06:33] almark1: you should see what the driver is by looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and googling to see if it is open source or ATI. [06:33] orgthingy,win905,linux less than 1% even after ubuntu?printer support is not good [06:33] orgthingy,win90%,linux less than 1% even after ubuntu?printer support is not good [06:33] <\\`oot> Are any of you folks using Gnome-Art-NG? [06:34] whyameye: I have read my xorg.conf its empty, just a bare skeleton, I don't know where Ubuntu keeps its xorg config [06:34] <\\`oot> for themes, window "fun-ness"? [06:34] srip why dont you go use windows then just stop crying about it [06:34] srip : yea, as if Windows supports printers [06:34] almark1: also you could try apt-get installing envyng-gtk and giving that a shot again. [06:34] almark1: with ubuntu 8.10, xorg doesn't need a config file to work [06:34] srip : HP or some company have to make drivers for you @ windows because windows doesnt support any printers [06:34] whyameye: Ok I will [06:34] almark1: uggh. Must be 8.10. I am still on 8.04 [06:34] take that FloodBot1! [06:34] rdw200169: how do I custom fix it, I mean how do I disable say DRI? [06:35] whyameye: Its 8.10 === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit [06:35] almark1: i don't know, i'm still using 8.04 [06:35] rdw200169: so how can almark1 know for sure what drivers and config X is using? [06:35] rdw200169: lol thanks [06:35] srip : windows never supported any printer.. windows never supported wireless cards.etc [06:35] srip : its always 3rd party or company themselves that create drivers === almark1 is now known as almark [06:35] srip : yet linux supports a lot of stuff "natively" because of its neat design [06:35] orgthingy: thank you, orgthingy! [06:35] and accepts 3rd aprty drivers if needed [06:36] whyameye: that is really my nick [06:36] rdw200169 : remind me why are you thanking me :P ? [06:36] * \\`oot is annoyed that Gnome-Art-NG works in 8.4 but not in 8.10 [06:37] <\\`oot> grrrr [06:37] orgthingy: for reminding everyone that it's not windows, it's the manufacturers, that create drivers; thus, it's *their* fault [06:37] <\\`oot> stupid [06:37] rdw200169 : heh :-) [06:37] orgthingy,linux is just a wastage of resources...they are updating kernel every 6months,thousand of packages get updated,new versions released,people wasting cds etc [06:37] i have an external harddisk that i want to make a ubuntu installation on, like many do with a USB stick [06:37] srip : even google employees use linux [06:37] only the HD allready contains some files [06:37] srip : linux conquered server marketshare [06:37] srip: to each their own, we use linux. period. [06:37] can i somehow still do it without having to copy all the files? [06:38] srip : linux has millions of users in desktop [06:38] <\\`oot> Hello? Hello? [06:38] if I want to repartition ubuntu to make room for a new windowz partition, what is the best way? [06:38] \\`oot: nice nick [06:38] srip : I have many reasons not use windows, and no i can afford to buy 10 vista licenses if i want [06:38] <\\`oot> ari_stress: thx [06:38] so its not money [06:38] i just hate windows as an OS :-) [06:38] <\\`oot> ari_stress: Any thoughts on my dilemma? Or a BETTER way to manage "themes and such"? [06:38] ari_stress, :) [06:38] orgthingy: go use os/2 then, and gripe about that, or osx [06:38] orgthingy,xp released in 2002 will be supported till 2014 that is 100$ for 12 yrs support [06:39] orgthingy: it;s not only money, i'm having hard time securing windows machines, different with linuxes [06:39] srip: until 2014 ? XP support will end this year :) [06:39] why the hell are we talking about windoze? [06:39] what is the name of the non free ati drivers to install in Ubuntu? [06:39] \\`oot: oh sorry, i dont read the channel previously [06:39] <\\`oot> srip: Not necessarily true... 12 years support for the technology (not the system) :-) [06:39] XP will be in extended support until 2014 [06:39] Ward1983: i'm trying to stop him, but he's heck-bent on doing it [06:39] srip stop trolling please [06:39] hi e-jat [06:39] <\\`oot> ari_stress: I'm trying to make my new Ubuntu 8.10 look "nicer"... themes [06:39] ari_stress : Id rather do dpkg -i *.deb than clicking "next" then "finish" manually for each program [06:39] xyxxl: i bet it will be longer :D they allready extended it actually i bet they will again lol [06:39] \\`oot : gnome-look.org ? [06:39] <\\`oot> ari_stress: and... I tried Gnome-Art-NG... but it doesn't appear to be working well, all the thumbnails are screwed up [06:39] go to #windows if you want to talk about how good windows is please [06:40] jesus [06:40] \\`oot: you can also try compiz + emerald [06:40] <\\`oot> orgthingy: Yes... but - WHAT do I download? [06:40] <\\`oot> what is emerald? [06:40] the theme? [06:40] \\`oot: and cairo-dock or avant window navigator [06:40] even there they will get pissed at you lol [06:40] <\\`oot> I tried to download it, and it's a theme "editor"? [06:40] then change it from system > pref >> appearance [06:40] \\`oot: hmm i don't modify the theme much [06:40] \\`oot: emerald is a replacement window decorator, it does the borders of windows [06:40] <\\`oot> but you can only change super-basic stuff from that system > pre >appearence [06:40] Ward1983 : freenode is a foss network, they just /kill us when we troll @ windows not kline us :) [06:41] <\\`oot> on my laptop which is 8.4 gnome-art-ng works brilliant... [06:41] almark, ok I'm really leaving now. :-) But there might be something here for you: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide [06:41] orgthingy i meant most people in #windows dont even really like windows [06:41] \\`oot: thus, if you want your windows borders, for example, to look exactly like vista or mac, emerald can do it [06:41] <\\`oot> on 8.10 (this machine) it doesn't appear to work right [06:41] \\`oot : exactly ! thats why you need to CHANGE those basic stuff :P ? [06:41] using "install" [06:41] <\\`oot> emerald, OK [06:41] \\`oot: do you have the url for gnome-art-ng? i'd like to see [06:41] <\\`oot> hold, let me install that [06:41] Ward1983: i do but only XP :D lol [06:41] g2g, gotta restart irssi [06:41] <\\`oot> uhh... sec [06:41] Ward1983 id suggest backing up your usb drive before installing an os on it... you could partition it and risk your data but why [06:41] whyameye: thanks for the help. i"ll try that who knows it just might work [06:41] spanther i use it because else i cannot play much decent games anymore [06:42] <\\`oot> http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Gnome-Art-NG-Download-37496.html [06:42] jbmigel: be careful about using your thumbdrive for too much stuff, they have a limited number of read/writes [06:42] yep thats right and normal nothing to be ashamed for :) [06:42] spanther plus companies still tend to use it too :( [06:42] hi [06:42] rdw200169: where did you read that :P [06:42] so windows is allmost a must if you want to work in IT [06:42] <\\`oot> ari_stress: If you get it installed, it looks cool, has tabs for window decorations, program skins, etc... but everything looks like the default "red apple" icon [06:42] Ward1983: yeah because everyone has to have his own decision :) [06:42] <\\`oot> so I never know WTF I'm installing, haha [06:42] <\\`oot> annoying as crap [06:42] almark: it's a known fact, check wikipedia, or any specific stats on thumbdrives on newegg [06:43] back [06:43] rdw200169 you could say the same thing about hard drives, are you gonna stop using them too? lol just buy a new one === ronzo_ is now known as Marfi2 [06:43] almark: thumbdrives are capable of a finite number of read/writes until they just stop working [06:43] rdw200169: oh man I didn't want to know that *bummer* I thought these things will last forever [06:43] <\\`oot> ari_stress: While you do that, I'm going to install emerald... from package manager right? [06:43] Ward1983: besides windows really isnt this bad... well xp isnt vista is :> got alot of issues recently again... [06:43] looking to install the nvidia drivers for the nvidia go 6100. what is the name of the package? can only get terminal atm [06:43] jbmigel: at least hard drives have S.M.A.R.T. [06:43] i have an external harddisk that i want to make a ubuntu installation on, like many do with a USB stick, only it allready has data, can i somehow solve that? because i dont have enough space to copy the data over to another comp [06:43] <\\`oot> this nVidia driver set with Compiz ROCKS [06:43] <\\`oot> moving windows and stuff is cool [06:44] rdw200169: which could be for a very long time then, depends on the manufacturer right? [06:44] hi [06:44] almark: It's true, but the number is usually in the hundreds of thousands (and from what I've seen pretty much only applies to writes - reads isn't as big of a deal), so I haven't really worried about it myself. [06:44] almark: yes, good hard drives that are taken care of can last an incredibly long time [06:44] does anyone know a GUI supported tool to administrate dvd drives spinning speed so that i can watch movies while the drive only spins for 2x dvd speed max to be quiet? [06:44] <\\`oot> OK, so I have emerald theme manager installed [06:44] <\\`oot> now what? [06:44] \\`oot: does it have any screenshot? looks like it's still for 8.04 [06:45] tonyyarusso: true, very true, but, i'm personally fighting against the notion of 'operating systems on thumb drives' on principle [06:45] lol ok on to #linux then [06:45] rdw200169: I have noticed, and its very annoying that linux has a tough time after you umount the USB drive, the power will not go off, how do I get around that? [06:45] <\\`oot> ari_stress: Yes, that's kind of the problem :( [06:45] tonyyarusso: i want to nip a problem in the butt before it gets out of hand, and too many people are dealing with dead thumb drives, make sense? [06:45] cause its annoying if a dvd drive spins with fullspeed loud as hell just to flash for a few seconds per minute to load data <.< no remote tool to reduce spinning? [06:45] I am having an issue with Bluetooth where everytime I restart my computer I have to run the following command to get bluetooth devices to detect: sudo hciconfig hci0 reset - reset bluetooth adaptor [06:45] almark: i don't know, i don't have that problem [06:46] rdw200169: what do you do to umound your drive, does the power on the thumb drive go off for you? [06:46] amount geez [06:46] I NEED HELP!! I can't Edit my Grub Menu [06:46] almark: the power never goes off, as long as it's plugged in, [06:46] !Copy [06:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about Copy [06:46] almark: regardless, once it's unmounted, it's safe to remove [06:46] <\\`oot> OK,here's a quick question... how do I UNINSTALL a package? [06:47] !paste [06:47] 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) [06:47] \\`oot: apt-get remove [06:47] \\`oot: use synaptic, it's GUI [06:47] <\\`oot> OK [06:47] rdw200169: Perhaps, but I doubt the thumb drive will die before a) the user loses it, b) the user decides they'd rather just get the new 16TB drive that came out or whatever, c) the OS on it is so obsolete they can't use it and can't be bothered to install yet again, that sort of thing. Seems overhyped, in short. [06:47] I can't edit my GRUB menu please help.. [06:47] anyone here running 64bit intrepid? [06:47] <\\`oot> right but... [06:47] <\\`oot> that package isnt IN synaptic! [06:47] <\\`oot> ???? [06:47] eweb100: what are you trying to do? [06:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/85450/ [06:48] Title: Ubuntu Pastebin (at paste.ubuntu.com) [06:48] hai [06:48] gBear14275: i am tring to edit my grub menu [06:48] tonyyarusso: you should do a test then: run ubuntu on a thumbdrive for six months. don't turn off logging etc... just a vanila 8.10 desktop. if the thumbdrive survives, you win. [06:48] alright...ive install ubuntu using the alt CD's with text mode...and was having problems with the video driver, nvidia go 6100. gray screen on an averatec 7100. now when it boots, its only a gray screen. any ideas? [06:48] rdw200169: I have read that too, but I'm paranoid, I messed up my other computers usb ports I think, I wanted two mice one was light mouse (regular ones) and other was trackball at the same time, so that I could choose what mouse I wanted while using blender, I think it messed up something, because its not the same since. [06:49] almark: i don't know then :( [06:49] can i run th system restore from windowz vista in my ubuntu dell??? === nick|sleep is now known as nick|here [06:49] eweb100 why dont you try it from console without all the gtk crap? [06:49] Eviltaco64: to restore ubuntu? [06:49] jbingel all i am doing is gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:49] anyone here run conky on 64bit? [06:49] rdw200169: Don't ever move two mice at the same time, I think it breaks something. [06:50] alright...ive install ubuntu using the alt CD's with text mode...and was having problems with the video driver, nvidia go 6100. gray screen on an averatec 7100. now when it boots, its only a gray screen. any ideas? [06:50] jbmigel what is the correct way? [06:50] nah, im just kidding :P [06:50] eweb100 hi [06:50] almark: i've done that before, i had a bluetooth mouse and a touchpad at the same time, no problem [06:50] i wanted to see how someone would respond to such a noobish question [06:50] any help...? [06:50] Eviltaco64: kidding is good for your health :) [06:50] <\\`oot> found it [06:50] eweb100 well what you're doing should work, but if it isnt... try something else :) [06:50] <\\`oot> removed gnome-art-ng [06:50] <\\`oot> :( [06:51] jbmingel kk. [06:51] rdw200169: Computer are funny, they might break here or there, you don't know what will happen, just wait and see I guess, but they are built to last i'll say. [06:51] <\\`oot> Hey, on gnome-look.org... if I'm trying out "Emerald"... which artwork menu do I select on the left? [06:51] almark: yeah, my desktop is a crazy amalgamation of parts, some dating back more than 3 years [06:51] <\\`oot> GTK 2.x? Metacity? Compiz? Beryl?

[07:00] almark: yeah? well i upgraded my monitor, then decided to use the old one too, so now i'm running dual monitor [07:00] almark: I think that would be a great upgrade ;) [07:00] almark: home theater pc [07:00] ExcruciationX: no one here probably does much of getting irc bots running. perhaps another channel. like #freenode? [07:00] rdw2001: i have the 701 [07:00] almark: like a dvr box or something [07:00] i would like to upgrade the ram to 2gig but its expensive [07:00] im running opengeu but would rather run fedora [07:00] Thanks for the advice. :) [07:00] so I downloaded ggl-gtk for google desktop gadgets. They work great, but it ruined my installation. X11 doesn't start up anymore, audio doesn't work, programs are freezing all the time....now I can't figure out how to remove it because I installed the deb package standalone instead of using package manager....how can I fix this? [07:00] plays openarena VERY nicely [07:00] rdw200169: another option would be a nice firewall/router/bitorrent fileserver [07:00] almark: i really want to set up a htpc to act as a ultra music box [07:01] better than my 128 geforce [07:01] rdw200169: make my packard a home theater system lol hwo in world would I do that, this is really funny lol [07:01] ExcruciationX: sure, yw [07:01] gbear14275: i already have that [07:01] rdw200169: meant for almark [07:01] gbear14275: ah, i see [07:01] almark: yeah, turn it into an ISP [07:02] Brack10: you mean you used the dpkg -i command to install it?

(Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session) [07:47] says that when I run sudo pidgin [07:47] and it crashes [07:47] ikonia: so i just need the sources.list? [07:47] Marfi: I think they are pointing at the official driver from www.nvidia.com [07:47] sorry to be a pain, ActionParsnip , going on little sleep. =) [07:47] thanks you ActionParsnip :) [07:47] GGIbex: yes please [07:47] Marfi: id rest up [07:48] ok, update... its only happening when i embed it into a script... executed in terminal it works fine [07:48] Hi people. Anybody here expert with lvm + dm-setup? [07:48] Brack10: yes... that is i believe a problem [07:48] ok [07:48] Saga_: lvm devices are handled by dm [07:49] I hope it means something to you [07:49] how to block anynomous proxies? [07:49] should I install the NVIDIA drivers from the repositories or from NVIDIA.COM? [07:49] KillGuta: repo [07:49] fluzie: block them from what ? [07:49] KillGuta: repo onces will update as you update [07:49] thanks :D [07:49] Brack10: in your home dir... try removing, only if you want, the: .dbus ...dir [07:49] im trying to format my whole hdd, but when im trying to do that the install tells me that i dont have any root file [07:50] Okay -- I'm trying to learn how to use cryptsetup -- First, I do have three encrypted HDDs made by from my buddy -- However, how do I display encryption information and etc? I want to ensure that I'm using the same encrpytion protocol. [07:50] Brack10: might not want to be in X when you do it [07:50] wow incredible I just found linux drivers for my soundcard :D [07:50] block from my LAN office [07:50] ikonia:http://paste.ubuntu.com/85467/ [07:50] can someone help me with a tutorial? [07:50] fluzie: what are they connecting to [07:50] Okay, apparently this driver doesn't work. Help, Ubuntu is not detecting my HP Deskjet F2210 All-in-One. PLEASE HELP! [07:50] niku_: you have a whole hd and chossed it in installer, then no root ? [07:50] removing .dbus eh [07:50] yeah... up to you [07:51] haha [07:51] GGIbex: do an sudo apt-get update then search again [07:51] well could it mess things up even worse? [07:51] GGIbex: close synaptic frist [07:51] firrst [07:51] first even [07:51] they try to connect to restricted website by using anynomous proxies [07:51] i want to install "reconstructor" in 8.10 and it says it needs to remove libgd2-noxpm then install libgd2-xpm. is it ok to remove libgd2-noxpm? [07:51] YaroMan86: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_f2200_series.html [07:51] ikonia: do i need internet connectivity for that? [07:51] YaroMan86: its supported by hplip [07:51] fluzie: setup iptables as a firewall on your gateway to stop them accessing any prox other than your own [07:52] ActionParsnip: That is the driver I tries. [07:52] GGIbex: no [07:52] Brack10: i doubt it. it will get recreated... might even have to reboot though. i'm not sure. i don't much anything about dbus [07:52] fluzie: that's not to easy, as they can also tunnel to any other proxie [07:52] GGIbex: although I've just realised why you can't see it [07:52] ikonia: you lost me for a sec. lemme figure out what you want me to do [07:52] GGIbex: you need to get the updated repo file from the internet [07:52] GGIbex: as ndiswrapper isn't on the CD [07:52] yes, i know..they still can tunnel [07:52] ikonia: that's the problem [07:52] is it ok to remove libgd2-noxpm? [07:52] Brack10: but it shold darn well get recreated [07:52] GGIbex: that makes sense now [07:53] fluzie: no they can't if you block all external access except through your own proxy [07:53] ikonia: can i move via usb? [07:53] !aptoncd [07:53] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [07:53] GGIbex: try that [07:53] ok I'll give it a try [07:53] what the hell [07:53] brb [07:53] Brack10: i am thinking that dir is causing your woes tho... [07:53] niku_: ? [07:53] ikonia: what do I move once I get that running? [07:53] i already setup my own proxy.but they still can access..im using squid [07:54] GGIbex: the ndsi swapper stuff [07:54] YaroMan86: you cna do everything excpet use the card rerader, is it a network printer? [07:54] GGIbex: block the im gateways from the proxy [07:54] how do I exit x11? [07:54] ikona: i'm using a windows box [07:54] GGIbex: so ? [07:54] ikonia:that make a diff? [07:54] Brack10: try Ctrl+Backspace [07:54] GGIbex: no [07:54] ActionParsnip: A can't do anything with a printer that ist connected directly via USB to my machine that isn't being detected.. [07:54] YaroMan86: run: sudo hp-setup [07:54] is* [07:55] ikonia: got it ima try that now [07:55] I did that. The graphical tool says there's no printers connected, and I KNOW it is. [07:55] there should be a way to have transmission increase the bandwidth limit at night. [07:56] ikonia: you got another suggestion? aptoncd won't run on windows [07:56] ActionParsnip: The hp-setup dialog reports no devices found. [07:56] what does a -x option do with xfce-terminal... checked man page and noting [07:56] hi. I'm having problems with my floppy. Since I've upgrade to intrepid I cannot use the floppy drive in linux. Bios sees it and tries to boot from it(just a test), but linux has no device for it [07:56] GGIbex: you download the files manually on windows and move them across to your ubuntu box to build your apt on cd repo [07:57] GGIbex: or connect the laptop via a wired connection [07:57]  prodigel:check your fstab [07:57] ikonia: wired is down too [07:57] ikonia: i'll dload and move via usb [07:57] ikonia: is it ok to remove libgd2-noxpm? [07:57] hi, how can i specific my chat to some1 , i saw when some1 talk to me , his chat turn red , how to do that ?// [07:57] R1cochet: what do you mean move it ? [07:58] R1cochet: as in move the file ? [07:58] Aya18111: just say their name first [07:58] remove [07:58] ikonia: like this ?/ [07:58] ActionParsnip: Any other ideas? [07:58] R1cochet: if you try to remove it does ti say it depends on anything ? [07:58]  prodigel:could you paste it ? [07:58] R1cochet: or anything depend on it [07:59] im would like to install reconstructor, but it says it wants to remove libgd2-noxpm and install libgd2-xpm [07:59] R1cochet: I don't see that as a problem [07:59] YaroMan86: seems to be fully supported. Check: [07:59] !hcl | YaroMan86 [07:59] YaroMan86: 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 [07:59] i've been looking / piddling with this computer for a few hours, and still can't figure it out. when it boots up, it goes to a gray screen. did the same with the live disk, and installed via the alternate CD. any ideas how to get it back and working? =/ [07:59] YaroMan86: it may tell you the trick you need to do [08:00] Marfi: what video card do you have [08:00] it does want to remove other packs when you try to remove libgd2-noxpm [08:00] R1cochet: you've either got to trust it or not [08:00] ikonia, its an nvidia go 6100. installed nvidia-glx-177 through terminal, and still doesn't help [08:00] Marfi: force the xorg driver to use vesa or "nv" to see if that makes a difference [08:01] ikonia: ok... now I know that I need the ndis file and aptoncd. Do I just dload the proper ndis for my adapter and put that with the aptoncd on the usb? [08:01] ikonia, would have, but can't edit xorg. they made it "edit free" this release [08:01] ikonia: thank you much will give it a shot [08:01] how do i get access to " ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system.ini" [08:01] GGIbex: seems sensible [08:01] Here we go. Apparently it didn't like being connected to a hub. [08:01] Marfi: edit free ? [08:02] ikonia, so you didn't need to edit the xorg. if you do a new install, the xorg file is extremely short. ill double check [08:02] Marfi: that doesn't mean it's not editable [08:02] Marfi: that means it's dynamic unless you put an edit in [08:02] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help anyway. :) [08:03] ikonia: ok mate i'm lost. what kind of format should I be looking for? I know what adapter I have, that's about it [08:04] GGIbex: you need the ndis wrapper packages from the repos and then the windows driver to use with it [08:04] !ndis > GGIbex [08:04] GGIbex, please see my private message [08:04] ikonia, i am such an idiot....thank you. =) [08:04] ok i'm lost i dont know why this script brings up a window with borders and menu bar etc.... but i can't seem to figure it out... http://paste.ubuntu.com/85465/ [08:04] !ndis > robb_m [08:04] robb_m, please see my private message [08:05] I installed everything the documentation told me to install to get DVD playing to work and it still doesn't work [08:05] hi [08:05] what else can I try? [08:05] I'm running x86-64 [08:05] ikonia, what was happened is that most of the xorg files are skimmed down, not showing drivers [08:05] redwyrm: tried vlc? [08:05] yeah [08:05] and mplayer, and totem [08:05] greetings [08:05] the video is corrupted [08:05] ikonia: got the PM and I tried that before I came here [08:06] i trust everyone is doing fine this super monday. [08:06] hi every body how can i fix the network problem with windows os [08:06] redwyrm:try another dvd [08:06] ikonia: any chance you could peek at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/85465/ [08:06] GGIbex: that should explain the packages aneeded once you havce them [08:06] question: how does one migrate from Microsoft Outlook (WinOS) to Mozilla Thunderbird (Ubuntu)? [08:06] Mpole: not bad, work is quiet which is scary for several thousand servers :( [08:06] ikonia, if i modify the xorg.conf file, will it stay with an xserver update?

[08:08] ikonia; okk [08:08] cplab2-58: your dns service is not working [08:08] ActionParsnip: what COM do u work for? looks like you ARE big. lol [08:08] ikonia; but i m able to access internet [08:08] Mpole: export emails to PST and import them to thunderbird [08:09] DasEi, /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0 [08:09] DasEi, it works fine with another DVD (U-571) [08:09] cplab2-58: that doesn't mean your dns service is working [08:09] ikonia; ok...now how do i make it working [08:09] ikonia: thanks for the help, I think i'm gonna be reading for a bit [08:09] cplab2-58: well you need to find out if it's working [08:09] redwyrm:corrupt media can't be healed by ubuntu [08:09] GGIbex: I'll be around when your ready [08:10] DasEi, it's not corrupt though [08:10] ikona: thanks mate [08:10] it plays fine in Vista [08:10] cplab2-58: use nslookup www.ubuntu.com - do you get a response [08:10] redwyrm, Try this -- I'm newbie tho -- http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/11/10-things-you-should-do-immediately.html [08:10] prodigel : looks correct to me, does /media/floppy0 exist ? [08:10] ActionParsnip: how is that done, exactly? is there a HOWTO somewhere? [08:10] DasEi, yes [08:11] Mpole: ask in #windows for the archiving process [08:11] DasEi, and if trying to mount it from shell it tells me: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist [08:11] ikonia; thanxx....its working..... [08:11] redwyrm:you said above, that you had a corrupt media and other dvd works , ?? [08:11] cplab2-58: great [08:11] ActionParsnip: thanks. will do. [08:11] any body listening to me when i connect my computer with other windows computer but my computer is not shown in windows computers [08:11] DasEi, no, the playback is corrupt in linux with VLC [08:11] hasibullah: they need to use samba to broadcast for the windows compupters to see [08:12] prodigel : sudo fdisk - l (with a floppy inserted) ?? [08:12] but it plays fine on Vista with windows media player [08:12] ActionParsnip: any chance you could tell me if i'm making a dumb mistake in this script? http://paste.ubuntu.com/85465/ [08:12] hasibullah: what are you connecting with?

[08:13] DasEi, only sda partitions are listed [08:13] DasEi, well, I just installed xubuntu-restricted-extras [08:13] and there was no change in the VLC playback [08:13] gbear14275, a Futurama disc [08:13] prodigel :does lshw list it ? [08:13] does* [08:14] redwyrm: did you follow saga's link? [08:14] ikonia; i want to make updations from the sever to which my system is connected....we have a sever to which 60 systems are connected [08:14] gbear14275, I looked at it [08:15] but I have already done the relevant steps, I think [08:15] redwyrm:try the tips, though vlc should do the job (^saga) [08:15] did you do them? [08:15] I've done step 2 [08:18] DasEi, for what should I look in lshw output? [08:18] I need libc6 2.8 for Hardy. There a source I can add to apt for it? More abstractly, how would I go about determining this myself in the future? [08:18] prodigel :something showing floppy [08:19] DasEi, there is one line that tells int13floppy360 1200 720 2880 [08:19] DasEi, computer - core - firmwre [08:19] prodigel : so either driver or permission-prob [08:20] prodigel : dmesg | grep floppy < output ? [08:20] DasEi, no output [08:20] Hi, [08:21] cplab2-58: so, you're probably looking for apt-cacher [08:21] Is there anyone who managed to make VPN connection to work in intrepid? [08:21] I'm trying to install Mytyhbuntu using this -- http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [08:21] !vpn [08:21] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [08:22] Would it work -- It don't have LiveCD, or it seems so. [08:22] rdw200169; we have a local sever to which we want to set the net connection and the client systems should make updations only from the server [08:22] ActionParsnip, I already know all that stuff, PPTP VPN conenction in intrepid is BGGED [08:22] I just updated to 8.10 from 8.04 and now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions? [08:22] BUGGED [08:22] I need someone who really managed to make VPN to work, not bot answers [08:22] cplab2-58: it's a little tricky, but certainly possible. apt-cacher can do it, i haven't tried it in a while though, the package signing may cause a problem [08:23] cplab2-58: the most important thing to do, is specify a http proxy in each client's apt configuration that points to the apt-cacher port [08:23] cplab2-58: then apt-cacher sends the packages to the client, the first time, it downloads it, then the second (etc...) time it has it locally stored, and sends that [08:23] prodigel : (grafically) go to > system > preferences >user n groups (system-modus) select the group floppy, see if it's activated [08:23] DasEi, found it [08:23] The level of buggness is such yesterday I fixed it and it was working, today I switch on the computer and I try to connect and surprise! is not working, however the configuration is the same as yesterday [08:23] Ubuntu stable? I don't think so [08:23] DasEi, unloaded module [08:24] prodigel : sure, but why (fstab = automount) [08:24] DasEi, still how did floppy module skipped from loading [08:24] I just updated to 8.10 from 8.04 on 64 bit and now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions? [08:24] rdw200169; just a question....can u tell me how to exchange packages from one system to another system connected by lan [08:24] cplab2-58: well, apt stores packages in /var/cache/apt/packages [08:25] prodigel : check the system group floppy ^ [08:25] cplab2-58: depending on the apt configuration, it will delete some of the smaller ones regularly [08:25] toastedmilk : check all settings first by double-clicking sound cion at gnome-panel [08:25] toastedmilk : drivers problems if i may say? sometimes upgrades are incompatible, but since 8.04 is still supported you can use 8.04 with latest software..etc [08:26] DasEi, user is in floppy group [08:26] Is there anyone who can help me please? [08:26] DasEi, and in fstab it's no automount. Must I've written it wrong [08:26] ttt [08:27] Hey, I just installed 8.10 on my laptop, copied over apt sources file, reloaded the repos, but i cant find all the packages i use be able to (eg. kvirc, compizconfig manager) [08:27] DasEi, Thanks for helping. I've added floppy to etc/modules. That wil do for now [08:27] Nobody uses VPN connections in UBuntu or what? [08:28] rdw200169; the thing is that just to save net speed...all systems are connected to the same lan...so transfer some packages from one system to another [08:28] BoogieBoo: its very stable here [08:28] ikonia; u there [08:28] !vpn | BoogieBoo [08:28] BoogieBoo: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [08:28] ActionParsnip, are you using VPN PPT connection?

[08:29] ActionParsnip, all those docs are not working, there is a big TICKET in launchpad [08:29] ActionParsnip, I have been 1 month following all those cdocuments [08:29] cplab2-58: i don't know what else to say. the best way to do it is with apt-cacher. the other way, is to do updates on one client, then copy the files it downloaded from /var/cache/apt/archives to the other clients === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [08:29] BoogieBoo: do you use a firewall ? [08:30] BoogieBoo: then ive no idea. i dont use vpn in linux. Cisic do a vpn client for linux, you could try that [08:30] rdw200169, others computers in my same network are in that vpn now (they use XP), and also in my place when I was using XP I did too [08:30] Saga_: specific question ? [08:30] orgthingy, audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused [08:31] BoogieBoo: but do you use something like firestarter on the *linux* computer? [08:31] rdw200169, yesterday I fololowed the launchpad and I managed to make the VPN to work, however today I tried again and it si not working, so I checked if all the configuration I made yesterday is still there, and it is [08:31] rdw200169; okk so how do i use apt-cacher [08:31] BoogieBoo: many times, the firewall ends up dropping packets [08:31] rdw200169, how Can I check that? but anyway, why yesterday it was working? [08:31] cplab2-58: i'm going to bed in a minute, so you're gonna have to google it, sorry :( [08:31] toastedmilk : hmm [08:32] downgrade to 8.04 [08:32] cplab2-58: apt-cache search ? [08:32] rdw200169; okk thanq bud.....gr8 help [08:32] BoogieBoo: i don't know, i'm sorry. you can, for dropped packets, if you're using firestarter for example, check the syslog [08:32] cplab2-58, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto [08:33] prodigel :was that ibex ? [08:35] hi [08:35] hi guys [08:35] I relly need some help [08:35] i have a grub related issue. I reinstalled grub on my MBR, but it seems that it no longer reads /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:36] I'd need some extremly detailed info about how to install applications under GNU/Linux - Ubuntu [08:36] have you checked the bios? [08:36] i could boot by typing in kernel/initrd/boot etc manually, but any ideas on how to get back the normal booting sequence? [08:36] made sure it's botting from the right drive, etc? [08:36] the #windows people werent too helpful, but i googled for the answer... howtoforge has a lot of info! [08:36] :-) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:36] !synaptic | Andry [08:36] Andry: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [08:36] prodigel :was that ubuntu 8.10 and which driver did you load , floppy.ko ? [08:36] pppoe_dude: Make sure you reinstalled GRUB properly (that its pointing at the right place for your menu.lst, etc) [08:37] !grub | pppoe_dude, first link [08:37] pppoe_dude, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:37] I had a GRUB error 17 or something for a long time [08:37] Flannel, i will check that link [08:37] But can I install applications while I'm offline? [08:37] Zuwxiv: i also had the same, i had to reinstall Ubuntu, but since my data was in a partition i didnt lose anything. always make a partition for your data. [08:37] Andry: yes, use dpkg [08:38] yeah I eventually fixed it somehow [08:38] I booted into Windows and messed around with the boot stuff [08:38] This Morning i was about to launch synaptic when all of a sudden the X server crashed and i was dumped to the login screen. when i relogin i checked the syslogs and about the time the issue occurred i got this [08:38] and used booting from the CD, don't remember exactly how I got it [08:38] gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [08:38] Flannel, thanks i think this will solve my problem [08:38] but why is this so awkward? I need a different mentality to use Ubuntu!

[09:04] anyone here know a way or something to stop miro from being a default bittorrent instead of transmission [09:04] Bryan: icedtea-gcjwebplugin is a transition package. If you're trying to install it, stop and install/use icedtea6-plugin instead. If you're trying to install icedtea6-plugin and it's not letting you, remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin first and try again. [09:04] DasEi; i didnt get u?? [09:04] cplab2-58: not without the root passwort = superuser = root you can change root's pw [09:05] I tried uninstall and installing again, but the same resault [09:05] rww, well I installed icedtea6-plugin and it's not working in my browser ;/ [09:05] Bryan: which browser are you using?

[09:06] Bryan: navigate to "about:plugins" in firefox and see if there's an entry in there for "IcedTea Web Browser Plugin" [09:06] or solution? [09:06] how do you type n-dash and m-dash on ubuntu? [09:06] I'm used to typing Alt-0150 and Alt-0151 on Windows, but it, err, doesn't work. [09:07] mysticdarkhack: try to purge miro [09:07] rww, :s nothing. [09:07] DasEi, I tried that, but no resault [09:08] is there anyone who had problems about using UTC=no at /etc/default/rcS at a single Ubuntu installed system? my BIOS is nor using UTC so i wonder changing the setting will have some drawbacks or not. [09:08] could it be firefox? [09:08] mysticdarkhack: with transmiison installed and miro off? how could that be ? [09:08] firefox trying to reconize the file to open with [09:09] mysticdarkhack: sudo apt-get remove --purge miro [09:09] DasEi; now i m in my computer lab... we have the main account which got created...now i enabled the root account...now i have to set an account so do i have to give access to this defaultly created user account or to a new account [09:09] Bryan: so there are other plugins in there, but the IcedTea one is missing? [09:10] rww, no there is no entry for java at all. [09:10] cplab2-58 why have you enabled the root account [09:10] cplab2-58: ubuntu's security model is based around sudo [09:10] -_-; [09:11] rww, My name is bryan and I am a noob. I had disabled java in the FF preferences. [09:11] Bryan: if you don't have an aversion to non-free software, you could try installing Sun's Java plugin instead and see if that works better... [09:11] Bryan: hehe, it works now? [09:11] rww, actually, I had wanted that. [09:11] Because I'm trying to play a game, and the icedtea plugin kinda...well..It does preform as well as I would like :c [09:12] Bryan: hehe. So IcedTea appears when you enable Java again? [09:12] yes it does indeed [09:12] do you ppl know how I can use a shared windows bitware fax to ubuntu? [09:12] I think I tried everything [09:12] and still no go [09:12] LeonSquall: maybe the hilaxfax software would work ? [09:13] LeonSquall: or hylafax, can't remember how it's spelt [09:13] rww, But I would rather use Sun's java plugin; because it preforms a bit better for what I want to do with the java plugin. [09:13] Bryan: okay. I think the Sun Java plugin is sun-java6-jre? I'm not sure. If you want other similar stuff, you could install ubuntu-restricted-extras, which definitely has it. [09:13] i guess I'll try that as the client [09:13] ah mmk [09:13] but i dnt want to use a hylafax server [09:13] Anyway, I'm going to go now [09:13] ikonia; i just enabled so that i can change the rights [09:13] thank guys [09:13] LeonSquall you dont have to [09:13] tc [09:14] Bryan: ubuntu-restricted-extras also includes non-free flash and various other stuff like that. But yeah, I know for sure that after installing that you'll have Sun's java plugin. [09:14] really? [09:14] cplab2-58: you don't need to do that to change anything [09:14] cplab2-58: what was wrong with using sudo to change teh permissions ? [09:14] LeonSquall: I think so, I'm no hylafax guru [09:14] ikonia; i didnt get u?? [09:14] ok ill try that one [09:14] LeonSquall: very worse senario would you'd run a local hylafax server that connect to your remote fax [09:14] cplab2-58: what command did you do to "change the rights"# [09:15] is there a flv player for ubuntu 8.04 === Livefan is now known as MockY [09:18] how to install adobe flashplayer [09:19] cplab2-58: the install routine is currently broke [09:19] hello.

[09:57] Somebody Please help me, on my previous Logon i misconfigured my Xserver due to which on starting my Ubuntu(Hardy Heron) it start to find servers for remote login, I dont know how to configure it back [09:57] robinpahwa dpkg-reconfigure [09:58] I'm following this tutorial -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto -- However, I'm stick at (sudo mobprobe aes-i586) -- It say FATAL: Module aes_i586 not found. Any suggestions? [09:58] Saga_: you might need to download that file [09:58] eatThisAndDie: I have reconfigured my xserver using recovery mode ... is it the same dpkg-reconfigure [09:59] eatthisanddie - Yup - well, i'm kinda new to hosting, but i've been working with web for 10-13 years so i'm open for other proposals. [09:59] Veovis_Muaddib, What do you mean? What files? I just started following the tutorial. [09:59] I'm far from an expert, but maybe an apt-get would do the trick [09:59] ThomasRDK: I'd recommend Zimbra. [09:59] I'm not sure though [09:59] Saga_: hmm that's completely unnecessary, latest ubuntu version supported encrypted lvm from the alternate cd [10:00] but it runs on Java so after turning it on, it will suck your soul [10:00] jtaji, Will check into it. [10:00] the other option is well..... Google Apps. [10:00] robinpahwa: I have no idea what recovery mode really is... but well... does it work now? [10:00] hi . i have problem with sound in Xp+ vista its louder and better than ubuntu i tried alsamixer put all in hight and its still not loud [10:01] smelian: what computer model do you have? [10:01] eatThisAndDie: No, Even i m unable to get CLI [10:01] robinpahwa:if it doesnt then you'd give "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" a go [10:01] eatthisanddie - I need a 'server service', not an application. Java sounds like a bad solution for this, am i right? [10:01] robinpahwa: can you see grub? [10:01] Saga_: they cover the process here http://learninginlinux.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/installing-ubuntu-804-with-full-disk-encryption/ [10:02] i have some external hard drive blues. I cannot get my usb 2.0 external drive to run at its full 2.0 speed. can anyone help me? [10:02] eatThisAndDie: When i choose Recovery mode i can login as root [10:02] Veovis_Muaddib : im using desktop + laptop asus n10 they have same problem [10:03] RukusX: A few questions: do you have USB 2.0 ports, and what kind of HD is it? [10:03] ThomasRDK: It works well for long term... it has a better management console, etc. [10:03] nice gui, nice applets, less admin work. [10:03] But if you're not looking for an application, then this is not for you. [10:04] I'm guessing you've already pointed the MX to your server rite? [10:04] jtaji, Thank you so much. I'm downloading the ISO now. :) [10:04] smelian: I would look on the page about ubuntu supported computers and check to see if your models have any sound issues [10:04] robinpahwa: you get a limited shell in recovery mode i think. [10:04] that'd be my first step [10:04] Saga_: also a more updated link : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [10:04] Saga_: I used it on my laptop, it's very easy :) [10:04] mandravia versus ubuntu??? [10:05] Veovis_Muaddib, yes i do have usb ports. its an external kaser drive. and i just ran full speed about a week ago. this is the result of dmesg | grep usb : http://pastebin.ca/1285799 [10:05] Veovis_Muaddib: laptop asus n10j - desktop its built in intel [10:05] jtaji, Just wondering -- Would configuring LVM mess up the Ubuntu, especially when it's encrypted? [10:05] !ot > Gast52 [10:05] sorry [10:05] Expanding // Shrinking size, that is. [10:05] eatThisAndDie: I m not even sure if the problem is exactly the Xserver ... i can see the GUI where it searches for HOst machine for logon ... but actually i need a user logon instead of finding a host machine [10:05] Veovis_Muaddib, i mean yes i do have usb 2.0 ports [10:06] jtaji, Expanding // Shrinking size, that is. Have you tried this yet? >_> [10:06] Saga_: no you can do that stuff on the fly, lvm is very convenient, I use it on most of my installs now [10:06] Saga_: at least the uuids won't match no more, and if disk-space is rare, fair chance for damage [10:06] eatthisanddie - Do you have any experience with the native linux options like postfix or exim? [10:07] RukusX: What have you changed since it stopped working [10:07] Saga_: best bet is to keep the logical volumes smaller for now and leave a bunch of free space to expand as necessary later [10:07] ThomasRDK: I used to but i got lazy... i mean... SMART :P [10:07] Veovis_Muaddib, i'd like to tell you. but i can't. [10:07] Saga_: even if you're doing one big / partition, leave a bit of space for another one or for snapshot backups [10:08] he he.. ;) [10:08] What are the package names for the "Add/Remove Applications" and "Edit Menu" apps? I uninstalled gnome, and they went with it. :( [10:08] RukusX: Are you the only one who uses your computer? [10:08] ThomasRDK: I used postfix btw. [10:09] Veovis_Muaddib, yes [10:09] okay [10:09] dnyy: gnome-app-install and alacarte [10:10] jtaji -- Originally I was going to use this (PC) for media center -- but Mythubuntu's GUI seems sloppy right now. So I wanted to install LVM / Encrpyted and I'm not going to resize it though. Making one partition for Home/Boot then another partition for media. I don't think I'll need snapshot backups tho. [10:10] rww: thanks. :) [10:10] RuckusX: I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure out what the problem could be, but I'd need to be there to help really... [10:10] eatthisanddie - Ok, can i catch you on MSN or similar? [10:10] Veovis_Muaddib, it would be just ubuntu updates when requested and other programs i may have installed, that i honeslty didnt keep track of. [10:11] RukusX: I doubt it would be an Ubuntu update [10:11] well what would make a drive just start to refuse to even recongize ehci_hcd ? [10:11] ya i didn't think so [10:11] ThomasRDK: PMed you [10:12] jtaji, But I thought of something -- I should be using this on my laptop in first place --- It's my main system. It's in ext3 and the link you gave me -- very good points for using encrypted LVM in first place. :< [10:12] Saga_: /boot needs to be a small separate non lvm partition [10:12] RukusX: I'm not sure at all [10:12] eatthisanddie - Ok, can i catch you on MSN or similar? [10:12] does anyone know if banshee can convert to aac instead of mp3? [10:12] Veovis_Muaddib, i don;t use any other usb devices other than the drive either [10:13] aac is a proprietary format, isn't it? [10:13] surely ffmpeg would do it [10:13] yes but there are definitely free encoders [10:13] get down and dirty into the command line [10:14] nah, banshee has a nice gui that talks to my ipod, i'd like to use aac though [10:14] RukusX: I can't think of anything it could be other than a driver issue or something [10:14] well what can i try? i have tried unloading and loading the ehci_hcd module [10:14] umounting and mounting [10:14] i have no idea [10:15] Can you read it fullspeed with other computers?

[10:40] rww i run defora 9 and i see no "(recovery mode)" at the end of its name [10:40] ikonia: from the harddrive constantly accessing and swapping out. [10:40] Saga_: I wouldn't do it., But that's just me being paranoid. [10:40] fedora* [10:41] MoLoot: that doesn't mean louder [10:41] Anna21: if you're running Fedora, you'll want to ask for help in #fedora, not here. [10:41] ok [10:41] lol [10:41] Anna21: I would recommend you run Ubuntu instead of Fedora.. [10:42] ikonia: We'll agree to disagree on that... at least on my antiquated equipment that is a true statement. [10:42] but if you've already installed it and need to recover your files then do that.

This is just a first attempt, so example and local are correct. [10:45] ikonia: no, but persistant disk activity over a long period of time can be the result of constant swapping; which, in turn, could cause your computer to be louder because the hard drive is constantly accessing. (if you are not running Raptors, for example)... but that's enough of all that...

[11:01] well it says free trial..but im not sure if that means free forever or free just for limited period of time [11:01] ikonia, i'm wondering if it matters if i leave cn=admin there, or if i should change it. [11:01] !webmin | hischild [11:01] hischild: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [11:01] !ebox | hischild [11:01] hischild: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [11:01] ActionParsnip, I think I am too dumb for that thread... [11:01] ActionParsnip, no not that one. Besides, ebox is broken on intrepid. [11:01] !ebox [11:01] hischild: ah [11:02] hischild: depends how you set up your domain [11:02] is ebox as good as webmin?

It takes all of my cpu power. it's between 60-90% all of the time, and i got no programs running, but firefox??? PLEASE HELP ME?? [11:02] MAINFRAME_LINDEB what specification is your machine [11:02] apt-get install ebox (?) [11:02] ActionParsnip, yeah, that one. [11:02] wesolek: you need to rerun the bar, then save the session so it runs next time you log in [11:03] Can anybody advise a network monitor that will show how much bandwidth a process is using? [11:03] hischild: Landscape is free of charge to all of Canonical’s support customers.

You'll probably want to direct that post at Mal3ko instead. [11:04] ActionParsnip: too bad :p I think its a nice tool :p [11:04] no its not an ati but i dont know the name om my grapical card [11:04] wesolek: the forum says what to do, the first instrction runs the bar again, then the 2nd saves the fact that it is to run [11:04] rebel_kid should still work [11:04] is there a way i can find out when i installed ubuntu on this machine [11:04] ikonia, thank you, have a good day :) [11:04] MAINFRAME_LINDEB how do you know it's not an ati then ? [11:05] Neodemi: you could look at when your home folder was created maybe [11:05] hehe i can rember it from when i got xp on it [11:05] ikonia, Hmm ok. I'm not sure how i should set up my domain then. It'll be iositd.local with hischild as the administrative user. [11:05] does hardy server not have atheros ath_pci modules prerolled? [11:05] Which do you use XChat or Gnome XChat? [11:05] but ill find out what card i got [11:05] hischild forget the user at the moment, it should be cn=manager/admin (whatever you setup as an admin bind) dc=iositd,dc=local [11:06] Saga_ does it matter ? [11:06] Saga_: xchat-gnome is weird and strange. use xchat instead. [11:06] ikonia, *forgets user*. just a second as i set it up. Thanks for all the help already btw. [11:06] Saga_: pidgin here [11:06] hischild not a problem [11:07] I'm going to test Gnome soon. I need a darker theme for chat, I think. [11:07] my bootspalsh is gone after upgrading to 8.10, how can i get it back? [11:07] !bootsplash [11:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash [11:07] !splash [11:07] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [11:07] !usplash [11:07] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [11:07] ikonia - sorry it is an 32MB ATI Radeon 7500 [11:08] MAINFRAME_LINDEB ok, the common cause of your behaviour is the driver not being very good, hence why it easts resources [11:08] thanks ActionParsnip, ive been using ubuntu since 29th sept :) [11:08] sorry, my bad, I didn't follow that other link that was there... seems to be working fine now :) thanks [11:08] Neodemi: nice [11:08] Testing. [11:08] any chance of a dell AIO 810 printer working under linux? Currently i think i'm about 0.1% likely to get it to work, just wondered if you guys knew of any solutions or Works in progress i can monitor. [11:08] okay but when im going to ibm's homepage i can't get any drivers to linux? [11:09] wesolek: np man [11:09] !ati > MAINFRAME_LINDEB [11:09] MAINFRAME_LINDEB, please see my private message [11:09] :) [11:09] hi, im trying to use iptables, iptables-save made a file, but iptables-restore says there is an error on line 25 of the file (http://pastebin.com/f64771690) but i cannot see what is wrong with it [11:10] ikonia, does the workgroup matter in this case? the smb.conf seems to want one. [11:10] jscinoz: open the file and press enter on the end of line 25 [11:10] hischild samba is nothing to do with ldap at this level [11:10] jscinoz: then save and exit [11:10] hischild get your bind working first [11:10] ikonia, how to check fast if its working?\ [11:10] hischild run a query [11:10] Acedip, makes no difference [11:10] Damn -- I only like the color theme from Chatzilla (Dark Serif). :< [11:10] same error on line 25 [11:11] thanks ActionParsnip [11:11] rblst: np bro [11:12] ikonia, net getlocalsid would do? It's still giving me errors. [11:12] Hi I want to change background colour in terminal. When I am root and file has 777 permissions it is on green background and black font and noone can see name of file ! [11:12] hischild what guide are you following ? [11:12] ActionParsnip, sorrytab completion went to wrong person, pressing enter on the end of that line and saving has no effect, still says "error on line 25" [11:12] can you tell me how to do it ? [11:12] ikonia, http://www.howtoforge.com/openldap-samba-domain-controller-ubuntu7.10 <-- [11:13] hischild thats an old guide [11:13] jscinoz: if you comment that line out, is it ok? [11:13] Now this is a rather daft question. [11:13] ikonia, you happen to have a link to a newer/better one? [11:13] Hey hey [11:13] ActionParsnip, no, because it then complains that it wanted COMMIT on that line, which is the only thing on it [11:13] hischild sorry no [11:13] But could someone point out the path of the inittab file to me in Ubuntu? [11:13] hischild it references things like webmin for the pam install that no longer exist [11:14] Lol. I think I like Pidgin better for IRC. The color scheme is comfortable here. [11:14] Anyone success with Skype, bluetooth audio and Intrepid? [11:14] ikonia, i'm not using webmin at all and i'm aware of some other small flaws in it, but the general idea should still work right? I'm attempting to set up a PDC on a pc here. [11:14] hischild by the looks of it though the webmin package puts your pam bind [11:14] Ast001, if your in a terminal window, try edit>current profile, and have a lok at the colours tab [11:14] Do you have some news about the realtime kernel? Will it work someday? [11:15] !inittab | tiyowan: I think this means that Ubuntu doesn't use inittab [11:15] tiyowan: I think this means that Ubuntu doesn't use inittab: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:15] jscinoz: http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/iptables-restore-barfs-COMMIT-ftopict282705.html [11:15] rww: Ah brilliant. Thank you. :-) [11:15] ikonia, right, so that means that i'll either have to install webmin (which i dont want to) or find another way to fix the bind. I'll come back to it in a bit, i've got lunch now. Thanks for the help!~ [11:16] thanks ActionParsnip [11:17] PLease help me share a folder on the network. and How do i do it... I have tried installing samba but i think there is some problem with the permissions ... i tried logging using root but the screen says administrator login is not permitted using this screen... Please help [11:18] yes now its better when i change to black background and white font but problem is only with files with 777 permissions who has annoying green background and black font [11:19] with directories to be more precise [11:20] somebody in the room free to help me please.... How do i share a folder on the network [11:20] green background and blue font what a combination [11:20] Ast001: those colors are set by the LS_COLORS environment variable. See "man dircolors" [11:20] thanks [11:21] Ast001: unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to change them, but perhaps some time with your favorite search engine will figure that out...

[12:25] yup, fully [12:25] Odd [12:25] I have an Acer 3680 here [12:25] quite [12:26] Nothing quite like that [12:26] and this is quite unnerving, let me tell you [12:26] just when i'd like to put my laptop away, it won't shut off [12:26] hi all, i have an ubuntu server installation that i want to convert to a production server (point it to a domain). i've got the dns side of it done, but what do i need to do on the machine? when i installed it, i specified a local hostname [12:26] i have just installed ubuntu 8.04.1 over windows and i cant see some of the windows partitions been mounted on ?????? [12:27] Acedip: yes, you can [12:27] so any ideas here? [12:27] :( [12:27] can anyone help me? Got a Benq Joybook S42 here, and it hangs when I try to install the 32bit intrepid, no matter what book options I tried. Tried acpi=off, noapic and nolapic. Are there any other options that could help? I just get a couple of lines of text before it freezes and needs a cold boot.. :-( [12:27] fosco_: how do i do that? [12:27] is there a channel for landscape support? [12:27] Acedip: try Places menu [12:28] fosco_: they are not listed in there, the side pane of nautilus [12:28] not only nautilus but panel menus [12:28] Acedip: Hi,mybe you can try ntfs-config,install it from teminal. [12:29] maybe you can try ntfs-config,install it from teminal. [12:29] nicois HAve ou removed quiet and splash from the command line to tr and see what is hanging it up [12:30] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the suggestio, i'll give it a go. I tried selecting expert-mode from the F6 menu, but it didn't seem to help me identify the problem. [12:30] what the 'nohz=off' means? [12:30] Yossarianus: you could try disabling acpi in bootoptions [12:32] Is there a link that display which Ubuntu usually use for file system? [12:32] All uses ext3? [12:32] nicois do that again, but also remove quiet and splash, I have many other mods ou can add and try, sort of hit or miss if you cant see the error after quiet is removed [12:33] Hi all [12:33] Saga_: you can use a vast multitude [12:33] Hi,everybody! who can tell me what the 'nohz=off' means? [12:33] has anyone in here had experience with eeebuntu? [12:33] Saga_: ext3 is default [12:33] ext3 is default for all? [12:33] @ ActionParsnip [12:33] Saga_: not necesarily [12:34] question: the clock I put in my panel bar crashes when I try to change the hour... does anybody know how can I execute it from command line for further debugging? [12:34] facundobatista What clock did you install? [12:35] flying_ych: it disables dynamic ticks in the kernel. [12:35] ActionParsnip, Nevermind -- "Ext3 is usually the default, but using Ext3 requires that an LV be un-mounted before it can be resized. Reiserfs and XFS makes no such requirement." [12:35] Saga_: theirs JFS too [12:36] flying_ych: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=939817 [12:36] Yup, JFS is on the list. I have no idea which best journaling file system is. [12:37] guys im trying to configure a wireless USB gamepad, ive found it in lsmod, but when i type sudo modprobe joydev nothing happens? [12:37] nnull: what make / model is it? [12:37] I'm looking for a guide to help me setup a Domain Controller with Ubuntu, or someone would have to give me a guide. [12:37] ActionParsnip¬ Logitech Rumble Pad 2 [12:37] I have accidentally enabled XDMCP on my machine due to which my GDM does not display a login window, instead a screen displaying that no host is found is displayed and tells me that it hasn't found any host so it could not have a remote connection, Whn i hit cancel i reach CLI for 5 seconds and then back the same screen ,---- > Anyone have ny idea how can i revert back my XDMCP [12:38] ActionParsnip¬ i can see Joydev in lsmod also.. but nothing happens when i modprobe it [12:38] I am having a very serious issue, suddenly -- every video I watch now, whether it is .mov or .avi is really dark, and of negative colours. It started only a few minutes ago, after a restart, and ever since -- new restarts don't fix this problem. [12:39] nnull: what make / model is the pad? [12:39] peleg, what media player and what video output? and what vga are you on? [12:39] jim_p, ANY media player I am using displays it like that (mplayer, totem, vlc). what do you mean by "what video output" or "what vga"? [12:40] ActionParsnip¬ Logitech Rumble Pad 2 [12:40] how do you change default session from CLI? [12:40] ActionParsnip¬ http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/gamepads/devices/287&cl=us,en [12:41] peleg, media players have a video output. xv is by default. its location in the options depends on the player. vga is the graphics card you have [12:41] robinpahwa, there is some way to change default session from CLI im sure [12:41] hi all [12:41] nnull: http://www.nabble.com/Logitech-Rumblepad-2-gamepad-function-td11243229.html [12:41] sava [12:41] jim_p, but how can I check that, in order to answer you? And -- why would it change -- here is, I only restarted my computer [12:42] hi is there any command line to split a big file into 2 pieces [12:42] tomyu, split [12:42] mchelen: i can kill gdm from CLI and start a new session using startx [12:42] ActionParsnip¬ yer nothing there i havent already seen :s [12:42] peleg, well you can look at the media players options for the video output. and i also need the graphics card too. to find it lspci | grep VGA [12:43] if i disable acpi i won't be able to use battery support and whatnot [12:43] i have a file which is 2gb mpeg how can i split it [12:43] i need to figure out why it won't shut down from time to time [12:43] tomyu, in 2 mpegs? [12:43] yes [12:43] is there any application that can keep the system from shutting down? [12:43] butg still when i try to reconfigure my gdm using gdmsetup it says i m not using gdm [12:43] anyone know a good tool for calculating partition sizes? I am using gparted and I want the first two partitions to be equal quarters of the disk (adding up to one half), but if I divide the disk size by 4, and give the first two partitions the same size, gparted adjusts them (presumably to fit into cyllinder widths) and one is bigger than the other [12:43] jim_p, thanks for your help. First answer (out of two): 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [12:43] Yossarianus: gimme a sec [12:44] I have a video card in my system and its 76 degrees. How hot can it take? [12:44] coolguy4 dont try to force exactly equal partitions, they should break on a boundary.. [12:44] Yossarianus: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-189312.html [12:44] robinpahwa, have you tried dpkg-reconfigure gdm ? [12:44] hello anyone who can help me [12:44] Is there any way i can kill all X sessions??? [12:44] !ask | tomyu [12:44] tomyu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:45] jack: but I could make the first two partitions equal if there were on the same number of boundaries, right? [12:45] I'm looking for a guide to help me setup a Domain Controller with Ubuntu, or someone would have to give me a hand in doing it. [12:45] Yossarianus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/my-ubuntu-on-laptop-wont-shutdown-342446/ [12:45] coolguy4 I suppose, bt wh is this so critical to you? [12:45] mchelen: yes, and in end it says it needs all x sessions to be closed b4 the effect change place [12:45] !ldap | hischild [12:45] hischild: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [12:45] does anybody knows where are the applets located in the Ubuntu directory structure? [12:45] tomyu, you cant do that without recoding the 2 files [12:45] xukun, 76 is pretty hot, any hotter and you risk damage, it depends on hardware though [12:45] jack: if it were critical I probably wouldn't even use ubuntu :) [12:46] coolguy4 ou would have the same problem nder windows.. [12:46] hello [12:46] mchelen: do you know how can i close all of my Xsessions [12:47] what does it mean that when i lsmod it shows joydev there, but when i sudo modprobe joydev it does nothing? [12:47] just returns to cli [12:47] robinpahwa, try editing ~/.dmrc to see what the Session is set to [12:47] tomyu, you can use avidemux to cut the movie in 2, but you need to save each part seperately, thus recoding, thus some quality loss [12:47] anyone use Codeweavers.CrossOver.Office.Professional.v6.0 [12:47] ? [12:47] jack_sparrow: I know, I'm joking. I'm using ubuntu because I want to play around and tweak things. i seem to think there should be a way to make the partitions on the same number of sectors, I just need to know how many megs per sector [12:47] coolguy4 Sorry for y and u not showing up most of the time, I jammed my right index finger and still hard to hit those [12:47] frank_lin, i used it some time ago to run photoshop under linux [12:47] ActionParsnip, thank you, that's just the perfect guide i was looking for. [12:47] nnull: you need to unplug the joystick from pc, sudo rrmod joydev then plug in the adapter [12:47] so i can not do it from terminal i think there were some tool to install and then to split files from terminal [12:47] jim_p, I couldn't find an answer to the second question, but here's mplayer's output, maybe it helps: http://paste.freeallweb.org/90 [12:47] Can i use Codeweavers.CrossOver.Office.Professional.v6.0 in Ubuntu810? [12:47] robinpahwa, you could also try the recovery console boot option, hit esc at the grub boot loading screen [12:48] coolguy4 try it with a partition other than the first one [12:48] mchelen: [Desktop] [12:48] Session=default [12:48] ActionParsnip¬ ok [12:49] ActionParsnip¬ rrmod no such command found [12:49] peleg: sudo apt-get install gmplayer; gmplayer & [12:49] oh,thk u ,jim_p! [12:49] ActionParsnip, why do you want me to install gmplayer? [12:49] peleg: ive not seen mplayer --gui [12:50] peleg, are you good enough with the terminal so as to start a movie with mplayer from it? [12:50] ActionParsnip, well, mplayer -gui works well enough [12:50] mchelen: I have already tried recovery console [12:50] nnull not rrmod [12:50] Jack_Sparrow¬ [12:50] ? [12:51] nnull: rmmod [12:51] kk [12:51] like rm mod [12:51] mchelen, my system is using guad core Q6700 and the video is nvidia 9600 GT with passive cooling [12:51] jim_p, yes, I am "good enough" with the terminal. Actually, it's Gnome that I am not "good enough" with (hence I try to use as many command-line programs as possible, instead of gui ones) [12:51] robinpahwa, did you try dpkg-reconfigure gdm from recovery console? [12:51] ActionParsnip good catch on removing the joystick mod btw [12:51] Hello [12:51] i executed, but didnt say anything. [12:51] Can someone help me with grep -.-' [12:52] peleg, try this then mplayer -vo x11 file.avi [12:52] Jack_Sparrow: i just websearched dude [12:52] peleg, see how it goes [12:52] xukun, 75 degrees is the upper limit on my cpu warning alarm, idk how much past that is safe [12:52] i need to search for files that contain a sentence but the sentence im searching for isnt the whole thing [12:52] ActionParsnip¬ it executed, but didnt say anything... plugged back in... anything else? [12:52] fosco_: no they are not there [12:52] xukun, you can keep pushing it and back off if the card acts flaky [12:53] peleg, and continue with other video output methods ( -vo) like xv, gl and gl2 [12:53] jim_p, very good! [12:53] Help? [12:53] jim_p, so, something messed with my default vo ? [12:53] nnull: try it in something [12:53] mchelen: yes tried that too [12:53] peleg, it does play with xv normally? [12:53] with x11. didn't try with xv yet. moment [12:53] jim_p, xv is bad [12:54] mchelen: brb [12:54] peleg, well can you full screen it with x11? F is the shortcut key for it [12:54] jim_p, gl and gl2 are good [12:55] peleg, does x11 fullscreen properly? i get a strange border when i do it in mine [12:55] i have just installed ubuntu 8.04.1 over windows and i cant see some of the windows partitions been mounted on ?????? [12:55] jim_p, it keeps a black frame around it - it does not enlarge the picture. also, using -gui it did not work [12:55] they are not listed in the places [12:55] peleg, best overal use is xv, then x11, then gl and gl2 [12:55] any one to help [12:55] peleg, go with gl then [12:55] ActionParsnip¬ like what? i try it in zsnes nothing happens [12:56] jim_p, wait, but what happened with xv ? [12:56] Acedip, mount them with fstab properly [12:56] robinpahwa, set Session=gnome in ~/.dmrc [12:56] jim_p: how [12:56] tnx [12:56] <_45h_> hi all. help me to find pidgin plugin "now playing" like http://blindage.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/pidgin.jpg [12:56] peleg, i think it is some driver parameter for it. only nvidias work perfectly with xv :( [12:56] Acedip, can i pm you? [12:56] jim_p: sure [12:57] ActionParsnip¬ i got some movement from it lol [12:57] nnull: sweet [12:58] jim_p, but now when I double click a movie in Gnome, or try -gui in mplayer command line, so I have to use x11 and it is (suddenly!) not wroking [12:58] nnull: you could try jscalibrate [12:58] I have ubuntu for a year now, and I never had problems with it before [12:58] peleg, there is somewhere in preferences. look it up [12:58] _45h_: did you try apt-cache search pidgin plug ? [13:00] ActionParsnip¬ yea i have it working in jscalibrate but wont work in gsnes :s [13:00] <_45h_> jrib, i found some plug, but song title writes to status. its bad when people says me "stop status message onanizm" [13:00] jim_p, in the preferneces of what? of mplayer + totem + vlc + ... ? [13:01] _45h_: maybe #pidgin knows more [13:01] peleg, mplayer at first. find that and make sure it works and you can do the rest later [13:02] nnull: try configuring controls to it, maybe you need to tell it the controller dvice in /dev/ [13:03] jim_p, but do you realise that something is not proper here? One of two things happened here: a. the default preferneces of *all* of my video software had changed, or b. something general has happened. I want to solve the general thing, assuming that this is probably the thing that had happened [13:03] ActionParsnip¬ got the buttons working now, not the directionals [13:03] how can I make ubuntu forget my password (did it in time settings)? [13:04] ottoshmidt: which passwword? [13:04] ottoshmidt: for sudo? [13:04] ottoshmidt: and when is it used? [13:04] yes [13:04] peleg, the default preferences of all players are xv video output! one bad thing in sv affects all. [13:04] *in xv [13:04] when changing time settings [13:05] jrib: do you know. i dont know [13:05] "Failed to set the system time" [13:05] ottoshmidt: sudo -K should work. Check [13:05] "/sbin/hwclock returned 256" [13:05] jim_p, ok, so that's what I prefer to solve. xv worked just fine, then, until 1 hour ago. Why should it kill itself just like that, after a restart? [13:05] any body know who i can setup v4l to get my cam work with kopeto [13:05] actually, now I recall: [13:05] ottoshmidt: do you want to do something more than forget the password? You're pasting errors now [13:06] any tips for getting an old usb webcam working? [13:06] it wasn't immediately after the restart. After the restart I have watched 2-3 seconds of a movie, which was *ok*, and then there was a crash (in mplayer), and since then xv is not good [13:06] !webcam | mchelen [13:06] mchelen: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [13:06] jrib, these errors are due to my wrong password entry [13:06] !webcam | mchelen [13:06] peleg, were the intel drivers updated? or xorg itself?

I don't think so, but could it be that it happened without letting me know? [13:06] recon69: change your video driver and see if it still happens [13:06] ok iam use u [13:07] jrib: you mean turn off compiz [13:07] but with last 8.10 its v4l replaced with v4l2 [13:07] jrib, I made it remember a password forever, and but it didn't change setting anyway [13:07] so i thought I should have entered a wrong password [13:07] recon69: nope. I mean try a different video driver [13:07] and v4l is used in various programs [13:08] jim_p, I think I have reinstalled totem before the restart, but I am not sure it was before *that* restart [13:08] ottoshmidt: how did you make it remember a password forever? [13:08] peleg, sudo cat /var/log/dpkg.log | tail [13:08] thanks fellas [13:08] :) [13:08] i think it's okay now [13:08] jim_p, nice! here: 2008-12-15 12:15:26 status unpacked totem-gstreamer 2.20.0-0ubuntu3 [13:08] if there's anything, i'll come back and bother some more :P [13:08] jrib: so you mean to remove the nvidia drivers? there is not a big choice of drivers [13:08] so it *was* before that restart [13:08] jrib, there is a check button in GUI, when entering a password [13:09] peleg, any other lines? [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I've started up the installer with the splash and quiet options removed. i get ata1.00 timeouts, and it says failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_masq=0x4) [13:09] jim_p, yes, all related. I'll paste it [13:09] peleg, pastebin them if possible [13:09] recon69: nope, not remove. Just use the 'nv' drivers and check if it still crashes for you. If it doesn't, then you can blame the nvidia drivers for your crashing [13:09] sure!

[13:21] no iam on terminal usin split [13:21] jrib: process uptime.. [13:21] jim_p, http://paste.freeallweb.org/93 [13:21] Mal3ko: what's the difference... [13:22] tomyu, using split for that won't give you two videos. [13:22] why [13:22] afaik, process time in top doesnt count when the process is idle [13:22] tomyu, since split splits the code of the movie, not the movie. [13:22] mchelen give my the output for lsusb [13:22] Mal3ko: I see. Check 'man ps', search for "time" I guess [13:23] peleg, well it seems clean.... unless that package removal made a mess gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [13:23] will i loose movie quaility [13:23] tomyu, you just *won't* have any movie at all [13:23] tomyu: http://ubuntuliving.blogspot.com/2008/03/splitting-avi-file-into-smaller-parts.html [13:23] so what to do to split a movie [13:23] jim_p, so, what do you recommend? should I uninstall most of these and reinstall them? [13:23] tomyu, ActionParsnip told you already [13:24] tomyu: you didn't ask how to split a movie and keep the two files separately. If that is what you want, then ask that as 'split' won't do that. split just breaks a file up into pieces [13:24] s/files separately/files playable separately [13:25] tomyu: you may loose some, i'm not sure if mpeg can be done with that command, its worth a try [13:25] no i have a movie file is large 1.4gb i want to split it so i can have 700mb so i can burn to cd [13:25] tomyu, i told you that avidemux can do it, but it will need recoding [13:25] tomyu: do you want to be able to play each piece? [13:25] Rocket, http://pastebin.com/m72dc58c8 [13:25] yes [13:26] peleg, why uninstall? and what to uninstall? does gstreamer-properties work for you? [13:26] tomyu: the transcode package has the avisplit command [13:26] mchelen Bus 004 Device 003: ID 2770:905c NHJ, Ltd Che-Ez Snap SNAP-U/Digigr8/Soundstar TDC-35 [13:26] jim_p, I thought that if I'll try to revert the changes that I've maid, the "mess" will be reorganised... I'll try gstreamer-properties [13:27] Rocket, how do i set that up? [13:27] Jack_Sparrow: pci=nomsi seems to be a partal solution. it gets me to a ubuntu@ubuntu prompt before it freezes [13:27] mchelen that one right ? [13:27] tomyu: is it an avi? [13:27] wait i will give u url [13:27] no its mpeg [13:27] Rocket, yeah that is my guess [13:27] peleg, in video tab, what do you get under defautl output? [13:28] hey guys, doxfer.com is down. can anyone help me set up a DNS server using webmin? [13:28] gstreamer-properties works with some errors. what should I see there?

I have 8.04 here and it has portugese but not brazilian portugese - thanks a lot for anyones help :) [13:30] jim_p, yes. should I do it? and then what? [13:30] mgsplit no suck pacakge [13:30] syberjj np [13:30] tomyu: ok... there's mpgsplit in the mpgtx package then [13:30] peleg, then try totem and vlc again [13:30] mchelen check here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966932 [13:30] !who | tomyu [13:30] tomyu: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Thank you to my girlfriend who kept supporting me through the tough times. Without you I wouldn't have managed. I love you. This is a great moment for me, the wireless card on my laptop is workin [13:31] Alti1: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [13:31] jim_p, funny, there's this testing button; when I chose "no xv", the test gives me colours from left (bright) to right (dark), and something moves as well; when I chose the second option (X11/.../xv) the test seems to give me negative colours [13:32] tomyu: i gave you the link to the command, what more do you need? [13:32] alright :p [13:32] veltsu You are welcome [13:32] peleg, lol [13:32] i have ubuntu and kubuntu-desktop installed, and i'd like to upgrade both to the newest stable version (with kde 4) [13:32] i installed mpgtx [13:32] installed ubuntu few months ago, so i think the version i have is outdated, but not sure which one i have [13:32] veltsu, I'm happy for you ;-) [13:32] i will try to split it with mpgtx [13:32] peleg, i get the same colort [13:32] now how to get my soundcard working... :) [13:32] !version | Alti1 [13:32] Alti1: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [13:32] Alti1: what version do you have now? [13:33] veltsu, lspci | grep Audio [13:33] jim_p, so, we didn't solve the problem, but we know exactly what caused it [13:33] mpgtx -124 myfile.mpg -b output [13:33] will split myfile.mpg in 124 parts with names output-001.mpg to [13:33] output-124.mpg [13:33] ok [13:33] thanks Jack_Sparrow :) [13:33] i have ubuntu 8 [13:34] peleg, true :( [13:34] 8.0.4 [13:34] Alti1: **8.04 [13:34] !upgrade > Alti1 [13:34] Alti1, please see my private message [13:34] !notes > Alti1 [13:34] ranok: thats still supported, its hardy [13:34] a got that, thanks :) [13:35] jim_p the output is nothing. I haven't even tried to install the soundcard yet so I'll go through the web looking for some clues on how to do it. I don't want to bother you guys before I've tried myself. Just like with my wireless card that is now working! Yay! [13:35] primadeluxe np [13:35] the following keys on my keyboard no longer work after an upgrade from hardy to intrepid: arrow keys, home, end, insert, delete, pageup, pagedown. [13:35] any ideas how to go about fixing this? [13:35] Does anybody know how to use LVM + Cryptsetup? I'm installing Ubuntu on LVM but I need to know if I should allocate all free space for LVM or for the system only, then allocate the rest for new LVM, Cryptsetup. [13:35] hey i m not able to play .avi files with vlc [13:35] ActionParsnip: yes, I was just fixing the version notatio [13:35] Alti1: you can upgrade to intrepid if you want but if hardy works for you you can keep it [13:35] how would i search for a file that contains a certain string in the file itself ? [13:35] veltsu, can you pastebin the entire lspci output then? [13:35] so I open the question to everyone: one bright day, my xv got nuts, and since then (1.5 hours ago, including 2 restarts) watching videos using xv is in negative and darker colours. My xv worked just fine until 2 hours ago. [13:35] jedimind: grep [13:35] ActionParsnip: heck, I'm still using gutsy [13:36] Alti1: and if you upgrade to 8.10 don't forget to disable and restricted drivers you have [13:36] .net [13:36] jrib: can you give me a quick example? [13:36] is interpid a stable version, and does it work with kde 4? [13:36] ranok: if it aint broke, dont fix it [13:36] hey i m not able to play .avi files with vlc [13:36] ActionParsnip: kubuntu 8.10 comes with kde 4 [13:36] can anyone tell me how i need to set up my firewall to forward ports for deluge? im a complete noob. [13:36] ranok: my file server uses some dinosaur kernel [13:36] and does kde4 work with ubuntu 8.0.4? [13:36] well not complete [13:36] The only thing I've changed is that: I've installed gstream-totem, to try and watch a .m4v file. I don't care about that file now... I just want my xv back. Any ideas? [13:36] i know my way around the block [13:36] jim_p here you go: http://pastebin.com/m77f39e03 [13:36] jedimind: grep -R foo /path will recursively search for files containing the string "foo" in the path "/path" [13:36] ActionParsnip: yeah, every version gets slower and slower [13:36] ikonia: i know but i think you should tell Alti1 [13:37] jrib: thanks a bunch [13:37] ActionParsnip duh. thank you [13:37] What's the command to find out the driver your keyboard is using? [13:37] Alti1: kubuntu 8.10 comes with kde 4 [13:37] ranok: no, its just it runs samba and ssh server so theres no need to touch it [13:37] veltsu, did you type Audio and not audio before? because you have 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [13:37] Saga_: I don't know but one way would be to read /var/log/Xorg.0.log === ajp is now known as AngelFace [13:37] egrep better [13:37] veltsu, that has the typical hda chipset [13:37] ActionParsnip: yeah, mine just runs apache, ssh and tremulous [13:37] and should i upgrade ubuntu to 8.10, or is 8.0.4 better, and am i better off ust upgrading kde? [13:38] hello? [13:38] rookeeeeeeeee: we can see you [13:38] Alti1: really depends on your needs [13:38] Rocket: why? [13:38] Alti1, no need to do that [13:38] rookeeeeeeeee, install fwbuilder [13:38] jim_p all lower keys before. Sorry, I have to go but I'll be sure to come back later [13:38] because it support regx [13:39] fwbuilder? what does that do? [13:39] jrib, Thanks -- Do you know LVM + Cryptsetup? <_> [13:39] Rocket: grep supports regex too, just not everything grep with -E supports :) [13:39] rookeeeeeeeee, and the rest are just gui. its an app that configures the built in linux firewall [13:39] jim_p, hey, watch this: [13:39] what software i best for audio burning?

[13:43] hello [13:43] Alti1, if you upgrate to 8.10,you mean the kernel,but in fact you need to upgrate a lot of softwares,if you used samba before,you need to upgrate it too,so in my opinion,if you want to use 8.10,just install it,upgrate would be complexed.

I've installed Ubuntu on my laptop (Thinkpad R61) and it works great... except the sound! It's all crackly and horrible sounding, whether I'm using built-in speakers or headphones.

[13:47] habibbr: sure [13:47] rookeeeeeeeee: http://portforward.com/ could be helpful, too. [13:47] ikonia: cool, but I'm running ssh in that machine [13:47] just text acess [13:48] do they have a linux version of that program at portforward.com? [13:48] habibbr: what is it you want to start [13:48] which log file has all of the early startup messages?

[13:49] i stop [13:49] jim_p, haha!!! do you know what solved the problem? watching the movie, and *while* the movie is working (but not before), running a command that will modify xv-attributes, and then it changed everything back to normal. It is said there that if I'll run totem again, it will be bad again. I won't run totem, then!! [13:49] I already try this [13:49] Hardhead, and all the four test are ok? [13:49] i: do you have an ubuntu support question? [13:49] NICE TO MET YOU [13:49] ALL [13:49] andymd, Yes. [13:49] I'll try to find a way to convert m4v to avi, then [13:49] i dont want to do it at the router level because i want one computer to be secure and the other to be able to download torrents [13:49] !id | i [13:49] i: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [13:49] I want to use ipmessenger in 8.04 So i installed xipmsg [13:49] * Saga_ want to know if somebody here knows LVM. <_< [13:49] andymd, well that's what i did, but i'm not sure i have the newest version, there are a few things missing [13:49] but am unable to send messages [13:49] peleg, i use mplayer and i dont trust any gstreamer frontend like totem and kaffeine [13:49] ikonia: it is already rw,users , but I cant execute [13:50] ikonia: maybe should I put rwx ? [13:50] so i download gipmsg [13:50] jim_p, yes, I also use only mplayer; but I thought that I'll need this totem (hence I installed it) to watch that m4v... [13:50] Alti1, i think the wiki will help you [13:50] peleg, my mplayer does play m4v! [13:50] rookeeeeeeeee, just pf to the machine you want to use torrents on and not the other [13:50] jim_p, really? I'll try that again, then [13:51] ikonia: i used the graphical interface, and it do like this [13:51] Cult_of_Scaro, thanks [13:51] peleg, not any mplayer! THE mplayer... from the medibuntu repo [13:51] thanks all [13:51] abang ubutto [13:51] thanks ikonia [13:51] while i give make command it throws errors like *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [13:51] Hardhead, can't you hear the system sounds or the mplayer's sound? [13:51] np [13:51] thanks tiyowan [13:51] abang ubotto === maek is now known as Guest5296 [13:52] jim_p, what do you mean? how do I know which mplayer do I have at the moment? I don't think I have medibuntu in my sources list [13:52] Hi! Is there a way to disable desktop effects for good? I'm installing this box for people who have no clue and if they create more user accounts (which they will) they'll have problems again.. [13:53] peleg, remove the one you have now. put the medibuntu repo in your sources. clean apt cach and it will install mplayer from there [13:53] anymd, I can hear the sounds, but the audio is TERRIBLE. There's a ton of digital crackling and stuttering in it (using speakers, headphones). [13:54] Hardhead: run lspci and it will tell you what soundcad you have, you can websearch from there, you may have to compile drivers [13:54] DGnome, you could use sabayon [13:54] jim_p, you know what, I am not sure I need it. I am sending this video to my windows-based a-technological family, so I think that re-encoding it as .avi will be the best thing to do anyway...

[13:56] jim_p, haha! no, it's my extended family. I don't know which laptop they'll bring to the party, and I am not going to check that out... it'll take more time. jim_p: things are even more complicated than that: I live in London, they live in Israel. anyway, trust me -- I believe that re-encoding it will be the best thing to do ;-) [13:56] Hi, do LTS releases get security updates for five years, or just three?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[14:32] yes it is [14:32] i changed bios [14:32] the last line, where it is stuck, is "99% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.40)]" [14:32] The only thign i can get at is too the install inside windows screen [14:32] and [14:32] * Paralyzed still wants to keep windows [14:32] tavi_: the vlc from the repo is never the newest, but does well, otherwise you want (little risky) take tarball from vlc-homepage [14:33] erUSUL: thanks for the tip. seems that force-reload and restart seem to be something different. but now, it works :o) thanks!

[14:39] Paralyzed1: If you're looking for Windows support, the proper place to ask is ##windows, not #ubuntu. [14:39] was everyone disconnected? [14:39] Paralyzed1: that sounds like a windows question....

[14:42] Paralyzed1: hmm to correct the error, in windows you will need to right click on your c: drive, go to properties > tools > check this drive for errors [14:42] i can change the resolutions but only until 800x600, no more [14:43] Ok coagen, btw what does defragging have to do with the boot ? [14:43] is it possible to enable desktop effects on virtualbox? [14:43] Paralyzed1: check the boxes to correct errors automatically and click ok, it will tell you that it will run on the next reboot, so you will have to reboot and then it will run [14:43] Seomah: what distro are you using.......intrepid ? [14:43] axmaq_gede: I don't beleive virtualbox supports accelerated graphics. So, no. [14:43] yes [14:43] 8.10 [14:43] Paralyzed1: its just a safe way to make sure that when you resize a partition to install ubuntu you dont erase anything [14:43] Seomah: k hang on [14:44] restarting now [14:44] Paralyzed1, are you using a laptop? if not, it might be a better idea to invest in a separate hdd, so that you don't loose data [14:44] ill be back in a moment to check it [14:44] ok thx [14:44] im on a dell desktop [14:44] someone told me to get .04 but i don't want to change at the moment [14:44] Paralyzed1: it should take 20 mins or so to check it [14:44] k pronoy tx [14:44] I require assistance !

[14:45] how [14:45] using gnome [14:45] any body do have idea who i can pass variable to awk like take date and pass to awk to use as filed separator [14:45] tavi_: The command would be: bobot++ [14:45] Seomah: pastebin this ------- "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:45] I read i have to change the color set from 24 bit to 16 but i can't [14:46] I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 currently but I've got space (purposely left) for another distro. I was going to try OpenSUSE but no matter what happens when I install it always wants to use the Ubuntu swap partition. Any thoughts? [14:46] Seomah: without the quotes [14:46] LoneWlf: you have a dual boot system ? [14:46] hi there [14:46] L0neWolf, sharing swap is fine [14:46] L0neWolf, that is fine [14:46] L0neWolf: Could you paste your partition setup? [14:46] does anybody knows how to lunch vmware [14:46] i already edited the xorg but can't find the line for colour depth [14:46] it's currently dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista [14:46] L0neWolf, nothing wrong with that [14:47] LoneWlf: yea, both installations can use the same swap area no problem [14:47] Pici: thanks you [14:47] jasminpc, which version? [14:47] I'm only posting about it because the last time I let it do that it broke the Ubuntu install. If you all say it's ok then maybe it was something else [14:47] posting? asking... used to forums :) [14:47] Pici: and youre from? [14:47] tavi_: Doesn't matter :) [14:47] L0neWolf, i'm using a similar setup, althoug i started with opensuse. my two distros share the swap and the /home partition [14:47] 5.5.3 [14:47] ver 5.5.3 [14:48] hi guys why alternate cd of ubuntu doesnt recognize the cdrom driver when i want to install the os? [14:48] on ubuntu 8.10 [14:48] LoneWlf: put a crap ton of ram in your computer and dont use swap :D [14:48] any one can help me pls [14:48] LoneWlf: it must have been something else. Swap area is used from the currently running system and you can't use Ubuntu and Suse at the same time, it's either one or the other at anytime, so it's fine [14:48] hi, ubuntu manages to detect my iPhone 3g but f-spot cant find the photos i have in the camera roll [14:48] pici maibe....

[14:49] Hello, i'm trying to install 1 program (thinkorswim) in my notebook, but something went wrong, the error is .. in http://paste.ubuntu.com/85617/ , can anyone help me solve this problem please [14:49] L0neWolf, swap sharing is not what broke your install. was probably a Grub error, Ubuntu and Opensuse use different boot loaders. if asked use the grub boot loader that is default for Ubuntu [14:49] !yay | DasEI [14:49] DasEI: Glad you made it! :-) [14:49] LoneWlf: you should be fine, as others have said [14:49] hi [14:49] pici romania? [14:49] pronoy: i read that it's neede to change the resolution to 1024 [14:49] need some help [14:49] jasminpc, is it installed correctly? i would open a cli, type vm and tab and see whats what [14:49] IdleOne, Ah so if it breaks again I could run the Ubuntu LiveCD and repair it that way? [14:49] HELOO HELP HERE [14:49] tavi_: No. [14:49] LoneWlf: they can use the same swap so its ok [14:49] L0neWolf, yup [14:49] !ask | agustin [14:49] agustin: 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. :-) [14:49] Seomah: are you using any VGA ? [14:50] IdleOne, thanks :) [14:50] a sis300/200 [14:50] L0neWolf, what you have to be wary of is the partition being called from grub at boot, and the device names. opensuse uses uuids, where ubuntu uses /dev/sdxx === jasminpc is now known as jasminpcit [14:50] cant get my intel PRO/Wireless 3945 to work on 8.10 ubuntu [14:50] !my alternate cd of intrepide ibex doesnt recognize the cdrom why? [14:50] its instlled . but needs configuration [14:50] bidossessi: Ubuntu uses uuids as well. [14:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:50] i dont know how === jasminpcit is now known as jasminpc [14:50] Pici, !my alternate cd of intrepide ibex doesnt recognize the cdrom why? its ask for drivers [14:50] looking for program to convert avi to vob format [14:50] well [14:51] pronoy: it's an old PCI card. quite old [14:51] Pici, i meant ubuntu CAN use /dev/sdxx, opensuse made a conscious decision not to [14:51] pici in my language means kid ...a little kid [14:51] SuwerRat, devede [14:51] Seomah: ok listen there are 2 ways...one is to edit the xorg.conf or the other is login using the recovery mode on the boot screen [14:51] agustin: Ask the channel, and lose the '!' in front of the question. [14:51] thanks [14:51] Does anyone know why you can't use a ^ in a crontab job with a bash regular expression??? [14:51] tavi_: I've heard that before, I just made up the word. It doesn't mean anything in English. [14:51] alright, thanks for the information guys / gals (delete as applicable) :) [14:51] pronoy: i tried to edit the xorg, but what do i have to add? [14:51] bidossessi: in OpenSuse you just can't use /dev/sd* even if you wanted to ? [14:51] i get to option none or cdrom [14:51] L0neWolf, lol [14:51] Seomah: i did it using the latter....what you do is when you logon using the recovery mode there is an option to edit screen resolution according to one's prefrences [14:52] how can i open a eml file? (its from ms outlook) [14:52] eml2mbox [14:52] Seomah: pastebin your xorg.conf file [14:52] has someone here expeience with the eeepc 1000h? [14:52] Neaai, not from grub's menu.lst, you can't [14:52] experience [14:52] Hello, i'm trying to install 1 program (thinkorswim) in my notebook, but something went wrong, the error is .. in http://paste.ubuntu.com/85617/ , can anyone help me solve this problem please [14:52] ok so I'm on Hardy, I installed both kubuntu-kde4-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, but still it's not looking anything like kde 4 ... any ideas? [14:52] can i paste it here?

[14:59] i just installed intrepid onto my desktop, but it keeps resetting my resolution modes from 1280x1024 to 1024x768... I have a dell p991 monitor and an nvidia 4200 [15:00] nik_ You need to start reading somewhere, we have given a couple of good sources. Feel free to find your own [15:00] Seomah: your xorg.conf doesn't contain any resolution modes........try adding them but take abackaup before doing so [15:00] nik_, any information that link gives you is more then what you have right now so you can't lose anything by reading that link [15:00] BoltClock, does it detect an iphone 3G or just an iphone. i don't know that the 3g's are supported yet in linux [15:00] BoltClock, does your iphone use a standard DCIM folder for pictures? [15:00] and can you see it in nautilus? [15:00] whats the ot chan addy? [15:00] Neaai, what is a pain is when you upgrade on of your ditros to find you can't boot the other because your menus are messed up. you'd think the possibility of dual/triple linux boots would be better handled than the classic linux/winblows case [15:00] how do i set my resolution mode *permanently to 1280x1024... i'm currently using the nvidia-settings utility, but it always resets it after reboot my computer [15:00] m0u5e 1024 is probably your system dropping you into vesa mode [15:00] nik_: so you're going to waste time asking others, in an official support channel, whether or not it actually explains it, when it's clearly endorsed? [15:00] !ot > shadobiii [15:00] shadobiii, please see my private message [15:00] Jack_Sparrow: compiz is running fine though [15:00] Neaai, what is a pain is when you upgrade on of your ditros to find you can't boot the other because your menus are messed up. you'd think the possibility of dual/triple linux boots would be better handled than the classic linux/winblows case [15:01] nik_: iptables has it's roots here: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/ [15:01] bidossessi: i dont know. i know its an iPhone 3g, and no, nautilus cant see it [15:01] pronoy: i don't know why is empty, i'll try to edit it [15:01] m0u5e k, what version / release of ubuntu [15:01] Jack_Sparrow: intrepid [15:01] I have a .avi file with subtitles in a .srt file. Totem will not load the subtitles. Am i missing something? it works fine on my Kubuntu machine using Kaffeine, but not on my Ubuntu 8.10 using Totem [15:01] Jack_Sparrow: just updated everything yesterday [15:01] pronoy: i have to leave now for work. Thanks so much for your time [15:01] i dotn want to wast your time. i need the bst document to read on iptables. the most easy and understanndable one [15:01] nik_: there are no absolutes when it comes to the documentation anyway, it's all about how well you can read and understand it. [15:01] the one that wont fill my mind with another questions [15:02] nik_, how are we supposed to know what your level of understanding is? [15:02] nik_, why not use google with something like "iptables tutorial"? [15:02] nik_, what exactly do you want to do? [15:02] nik_: well, that's a matter of perspective, and we just don't know what your level is. [15:02] Seomah: cya [15:02] nik_ you have them and none will not bring up other things you will need to learn as things are always inter-related and dependent === co_ngangenin is now known as deny [15:02] nik_: your best bet, is to simply open it up and start reading it.

[15:02] ok so I will be watching an avi file and all of a sudden the sound will start "skipping" (like a dirty CD) is there a way to fix that? [15:03] bidossessi: yes indeed. Once I had to do a trick as in debian's grub was installed on mbr and for some reason wouldn't boot a fedora, if not for fedora having its own grub in the boot record of it's own partition, which got reffered to from debian's grub in the mbr. [15:03] ok i will try to read it [15:03] click click installed. [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: i'm going to try saving to xconf under nvidia-settings... (i'm running as root this time)... although I thought intrepid got away with everything in xorg... [15:03] i hope its not to technical though [15:03] bingungaja what are ou tring to do when you get that error [15:03] nik_, you know that machine in the matrix, that pumps knowledge into your head? well it doesn't exist :p [15:03] there is no try, there is only do. [15:03] :) [15:03] nik_: search google for howtoforge iptables [15:03] does anyone know btw, where intrepid stores all its past xorg information? is it all under gconf-editor now? [15:03] Neaai, lool, talk about convoluted! [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: what do u mean ? [15:03] what for example iam tryign to do is [15:03] nik_: read anything you can find on howtoforge about iptables [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: i'm trying to install 1 program called thinkorswim [15:04] m0u5e yes, but if it is not aout identified, you need to make some edits.. [15:04] to be able to open port 55555 for incoming connection pon localhost [15:04] bidossessi: yeap. booting fedora had you go through 2 grub prompts. :p [15:04] or to be bale to drop huge amount of tcp syn packets [15:04] bingungaja Is it from our repositories? [15:04] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, what is not identified? [15:04] nik_: if you don't know how to read, then perhaps you should go back to windows. [15:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo is this link going to teach me that? [15:04] m0u5e: no newer xorg releases are supposed to autodetect at runtime everything the y need [15:04] m0u5e usually a monitor in m experience [15:04] Gnea, no need to be insulting ( although funny ) [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: well it detects my monitor fine... [15:05] nik_: are you behind a router? [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: no, it's "financial options program" http://www.thinkorswim.com/installer/install.html [15:05] IdleOne: i'm being insulting? ( see his reponse. ) [15:05] nik_, then google "iptables open ports tcp syn" that should het you exactly what you want === deny is now known as deny_cwok [15:05] Gnea, it is a mindset that sometimes takes people a long time to break out of. [15:05] coagen yes and i have already set up port forwardign on port 55555 to localhost for torrents [15:05] bingungaja You will need to read up at that site on how to install it. Do you understand what chroot is/does? [15:06] nik_: you must forget about doing what you want today and these 2-3 coming days read those documents and AFTER that see what you need, only after what you have grasped in general how iptables works. When you know about the default chains, their default policies, what each does, what's their limitations, and so on. [15:06] IdleOne: good point - i think he should ask in #iptables anyways, it seems he has a lot of specialized things that he wants to do [15:06] nik_: then what is the problem you are having? [15:06] Jack_Sparrow: alright let me see if i fixed this problem brb [15:06] Gnea, they will crucify him in a channel like that [15:07] !ot [15:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:07] Jack_Sparrow: the sites just instruct me to "At the prompt type: sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh" .... [15:07] sorry Jack_Sparrow [15:07] i told you i need to make localhost listen for incoming connection on port 55555 [15:07] bingungaja You did not answer my question... [15:07] router is already set to forward this port [15:07] nik_, make localhost? afaik, localhost is not a service [15:07] nik_: messing with iptables can completely drive you mad if you miss some detail, apparently no biggie but which could block all your traffic because you have got chain1 directed to chain2 while you wanted chain2 directed to chain1 [15:08] gnea: btw, are you the gnea from #e a long time ago? :) [15:08] nik_: that was an example [15:08] nik_: there are a lot of concepts to iptables that take a lot of time, patience, and trial and error. you're going to need to take the time to read that site and try some things out. [15:08] nik_, http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Security/IPtables_Basics.html [15:08] nik_, http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm, a good read, anytime [15:08] mnel_work: pm?

[15:12] nik_ What you are asking for implies we know your level of experience and until you know enough to ask an intelligent question about the problem we wont be of much help [15:12] i find this nowhere :-| [15:12] Jack_Sparrow: is the error caused by not suitable program for 64 bit ibed ? [15:13] so please decide which tuorial suits me best for beginning [15:13] nik, there's a nice iptables video tutorial on linuxjournal. it's called "mastering iptable", in three instalments. go watch that [15:13] Cult_of_Scaro, well i just imported it to thunderbird :P [15:13] iam not lazy [15:13] Bundestrojaner You would be surprised at how little difference there is in speed between 32 and 64 under ubuntu [15:13] i need thing to start simple and then knowlenge to unrap and so on [15:13] nik_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [15:13] bingungaja, what 64 bit progs are you using that are crucial to your needs? [15:13] nik_: a very very simple way to block all tcp traffic that comes in your box would be: sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j DROP [15:13] i need theory and examples at the same time [15:13] nik_ PLease stop this discussion and go read ANY of those tutorials [15:14] nik_: to erase that, you use -D instead of -I [15:14] how do I get /dev/video0 back on my comp? [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: i know, but i must choose the right image... [15:14] nik_, you want the holy spirit. you've alreay had more than enough to get you started. stop talking about what you want and go GET it!!

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should terminate your session and log you out, I think. [16:09] tavi: that should have answered your question [16:09] mahidhar: I'm talking about different ways to handle this given task - that method I described requires either at least little experienced users or a later setup of a central maintenance-server, though it's the quickest and also easiest way to set up all of them once [16:09] helllooooooooooooo is there anybody [16:09] hal_v2, see yourself?? isn't there a button to allow a bottom corner grabber? [16:10] bingungaja: use icedtea instead of sun's [16:10] david_: what does it show if you do: dpkg -l xfce4 [16:10] What's the name of those people who go aroudn putting Ubuntu on people's computers for them? I have a friend in another state who wants to try Ubuntu but it's too far for me to go and help them [16:10] bingungaja: try installing icedtea instead.. [16:10] mohu mluvit česky?

[16:12] tavi: you may have to edit some configuration files... but as far as I can tell you would just type bobot++ to start it or /usr/bin/bobot++ [16:12] Hmmm...

[16:13] where are print jobs in 8.04? [16:13] mahidhar: don't understand that quest ; you have to deceide if you want to put all machines up and then come to more detailed/deeper solutions, or, that requires more forework then a callby and a day of work, want to develop a integrated solution from start [16:14] david_: not that.. where it displays xfce4.. like this one for the 'less' package [16:14] srip: like yum in fedora [16:14] david_: ii less 418-1 Pager program similar to more [16:14] ak5: no.... Just reset your password using the link on the wiki and then try again [16:14] david_: what does it show in place of ii [16:14] ak5: the mysql password for root that is [16:14] k21,go to synaptic [16:15] ok [16:15] Jack_Sparrow still there?

I can get out to the net fine, and I can ping hostname and nslookup hostname or hostname.domain.local but I cannot ping or access hostname.domain.local...... any clues? === Altin is now known as Guest70870 [16:16] onetinsoldier, did you see my post? [16:16] pybe, using a linux client? [16:16] Hey there, is there a way for me to put a process into the background and get the terminal back, and still have that process run (something like CTRL + Z, except I don't want the process to freeze after I put it in the back.) [16:16] something went kind of wrong, how do i completely reset the kde 4 settings? (i'm on 3 now, because i changed some options, and kde4 shows only my mouse ...) [16:16] pybe, using a linux client with a windows dhcp/dns server? [16:16] bidossessi, yeah 8.10 [16:16] david_: nope.. it stop right before the actual line that i wanted to see. i only need to see one line of the output === Guest70870 is now known as Altin1 [16:17] mahidhar: 1) get a machine with a hd-change frame and a good cdrom, a good ubuntu cd [16:17] onetinsoldier, Ill try to paste priv ok [16:17] david_: and that line is the one that has the actual xfce4 on it [16:17] onetinsoldier, its a very odd ouput nothing like your describing hence let me post it fully priv [16:17] david_: ok, /msg me then [16:17] DasEI: k [16:17] mahidhar: 2) do a fresh install with updates ( net required) , size 10 Gig, rest unallocated [16:18] something went kind of wrong, how do i completely reset the kde 4 settings? (i'm on 3 now, because i changed some options, and kde4 shows only my mouse ...) [16:18] pybe, i'm assuming that domain.local is hosted on your local server. can you dig domain.local? [16:18] bidossessi, yeah ubuntu 8.10 client with server 2003 ad, dhcp, dns. I have other ubuntu boxes working fine but this fresh 8.10 install is just not happy/ [16:18] mahidhar: 3) pull out 59 harddrives [16:19] AltinT: Are you using Kubuntu? [16:19] mahidhar: 4) copy the installed hd sector-wise [16:19] bidossessi, yeah dig works [16:19] leeping2008: you should try "screen" [16:19] DasEI: how 2 copy hd-sector [16:19] coagen, I do use screen [16:19] mahidhar: 5) rebuild hds , be done till then [16:19] leeping2008: read up on how to use it, its very useful [16:19] tiyowan, yes [16:19] pybe, maybe a firewall killing icmp responses from hostname.domain.local? [16:19] leeping2008: search for "linux screen tutorial" or something like that [16:19] !kubuntu | Altin1 [16:19] Altin1: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [16:19] i read somewhere i just need to delete my .kde4 folder, to reset the settings, any idea where it's located? [16:20] coagen, I have many screen "sub-windows" open already. However, each one is a different research project and I'd like to keep my windows organized... [16:20] I understand that I can just open another window if I like [16:20] Altin1: The folks in the kubuntu channel should know how to get your KDE up and running again. [16:20] bidossessi, no firewall. But if I ping hostname I get response listed as hostname.domain.local [16:20] The ability to send a process to the background isn't absolutely essential, but it would be very convenient [16:20] mahidhar: assuming it's a standard setup, from live cd: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb [16:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669216 [16:20] yea, i found how, but not where :p [16:20] leeping2008: well you can use screen and gnome-terminal startup scripts [16:21] How can I say that files of type foo should be opened with application bar in Firefox? [16:21] pybe, try finding out if your machine (client) has the correct fqdn. using "hostname --fqdn" [16:21] It sees README files as being binary. [16:21] bidossessi, yeah its correct [16:21] DasEI: k then whats next [16:21] coagen, I'll look into it. Thanks :) [16:21] leeping2008: with gnome-terminal you can specifiy the positon of the window when it is opened from the command line. [16:21] jrib, sry, one last question: How do I verify that my mysql installation is recognized by apache+php ? [16:21] pybe, no firewall on the client side? what services are you trying to access? [16:22] mahidhar: doing this over network is more elegant, but at 60 machines and because of much lower data transfer, will take more time [16:22] ak5: write a hello world php page I guess? [16:22] jrib, using a database? [16:22] ak5: sure [16:22] bidossessi, I have checked hosts resolv.conf interfaces firewall [16:22] ak5, install phpmyadmin [16:22] hello dears how can i make a network protocol with windows os [16:22] jrib, gah, ok I am trying to learn this stuff anyway :D Thx a bunch [16:22] pybe, what services are you trying ot access? a samba share? [16:22] coagen, my problem wasn't the starting window position (although that, too, is very useful)... it's just that running windows will lose their responsivity if I send them to the back with Ctrl + Z [16:23] DasEI: k [16:23] mahidhar: least you have to rezise the 130 Gig then, but can once work with all machines, network setup would be next [16:23] However, if I run a process as a daemon, I have both the command line and control over the window [16:23] bidossessi, sharepoint, citrix, and some other stuff that uses domain.local aliases [16:23] ak5 install phpmyadmin. you will probably want to use it anyway. it's a php mysql admin tool [16:23] attn: Ubuntu devs: contrary to what you learned in "Ease of Use" class, you actually /don't/ know more about running my computer than I do. So please, stop implementing system services that ignore /etc/modprobe/blacklist. thanks. [16:23] how can i make a network protocol with windows os [16:23] I just wish I had a way to get the command line back from a running process as if I had run it as a daemon [16:23] bidossessi, ok, sure ty [16:24] leeping2008, set a higher loglevel, and tail -f the logfile [16:24] DasEI: kk [16:25] mahidhar: maybe you should give the initial system a little bigger size, though copying takes longer then 15 or 20 gig, [16:25] bidossessi, ok, I installed it :) How can I use this to check now? [16:25] When I start the vidchat with skype I see myself, then when the other person's video turns on mine goes away (as do all the buttons and options of the window) I need help, no clue what to do. [16:25] Do u play paintball 2 game? i have problems with it and wine!! [16:25] ak5, navigate to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin, if you used a system-wide install [16:25] ak5: You've got to access the phpmyadmin page from your browser, [16:26] !wine > samanen [16:26] samanen, please see my private message [16:26] bidossessi: ok i was not using unetbootin :) [16:26] mahidhar:for root only, I never reached it, but all the tmp folders and possibly additional softs- who knows [16:26] ok [16:26] ? [16:26] bidossessi: i used it now but one problem: i want to use my 100GB to install programs and copy data [16:26] to install xchat command plz... [16:27] bidossessi: the built-in option in ubuntu allowed me to set how much room i wanted for software [16:27] Ward1983, your usb has a live system on it now? [16:27] bidossessi, I don't think that's what I want ... Here's an example. When I run emacs (windowed) with a "&", I retain control over both emacs and my command line. However, if I run emacs without the "&", I lose the command line, unless I use CTRL + Z, in which case I get the command line back but then emacs freezes until I type in "fg" [16:27] bidossessi: yep, but i cannot yet use my 100GB, its just like a liveCD atm [16:27] bidossessi, tiyowan, seems as though that file doesn't exist on my server in my /var/www/*/* [16:27] bidossessi: im not yet booted in it aswell [16:27] k21, sudo apt-get install xchat [16:27] k21: sudo apt-get install xchat [16:27] bidossessi: should i first reboot into my newly made usb bootdisk? [16:28] Ward1983, that would seem sensible [16:28] k21, or sudo aptitude install xchat, both work the same.... [16:28] DasEI: ya i have some other gud config system [16:28] bidossessi: ok just a few minutes, im going for a smoke aswell while im at it [16:28] leeping2008, use screen then [16:28] ak5: No experience with running PHP/MySQL on linux for me yet. :( [16:29] tiyowan, neither have I :) Thanks anyway! [16:29] ak5, do you get the proverbial "it works" from localhost? [16:29] bidossessi, I do use screen. Thanks for the help. :) [16:29] Why isn't winetricks working for me? [16:29] ak5 i use it routinely, so maybe i can help [16:29] bidossessi, yes, and phpinfo() works as well too [16:29] mahidhar: calculate it 60 x 10 min = 10h , don't overheat :D [16:30] ak5 where was phpMyAdmin installed to on your system? [16:30] bidossessi, now I am trying to figure out what apt-get install phpmyadmin did, to no avail :( [16:30] http://wklej.org/id/28370/ [16:30] can someone take a look at it? [16:30] ak5: it install the website into your document root [16:30] i cant unmount swap partition [16:31] ikonia, I'm sorry? [16:31] bidossessi, I have the same settings in 3 boxes and its only this clean 8.10 install thats having issues, is there something thats changed on 8.10 that would not get changed in an upgrade rather than a clean install. [16:31] ak5: By default it should have installed in your www dir. [16:31] ak(, you would typically type http://localhost/phpMyAdmin to get it [16:31] ak5 it installed teh phpmyadmin into your webservers document root [16:31] How do I install gecko on wine? [16:31] mahidhar: though people often can't as they want, better way f would be to set you a few (small) machines up, figure it out and then start in the morning and let it run over night, but the circumstance are too thin here it seems to me [16:31] pybe, i really can't answer you there, intrepid is still on trial on my machine [16:32] en0xⅅ perhaps it's in use? [16:32] ikonia, seems that isn't the case: [16:32] bidossessi, cheers anyway [16:32] hateball: even if its in use I should be able to unmount it hateball [16:33] en0xⅅ Dunno then, works fine here... [16:33] hmm [16:33] swapoff -a -v helped [16:33] hmm [16:33] weird [16:34] so.. i killed my onboard audio and replaced it with a PCI card that works fine, except ALSA keeps loading the onboard audio first. how do i either make ALSA ignore the onboard card, or load it second and use the PCI as the primary one? [16:34] en0x: please do a swapon -s [16:34] vexati0n: tried bios for first [16:34] vexati0n, can you disable your onboard card from the bios? [16:34] vexati0n, why dont you just disable the onboard in your bios? [16:34] ? [16:34] lool, talk about sync [16:34] lol 3 guys same result ;) [16:34] DASPRiD: I did but Alsa still sees it. [16:34] where do I control which programs and daemons start during ubuntu startup? I installed tor from the package manager, but don't want the tor daemon to start automatically with ubuntu, which it does currently. [16:35] Triple whammy. :-) [16:35] vexati0n: sys>preferences>default s-card ? [16:35] TJ-42: Sys -> Preferences -> Session [16:35] someone rsynced those guys? :) [16:35] ak5 can you run a search for phpmyadmin ? [16:36] TJ-42: you might also install : [16:36] what's REALLY great is, I put the driver module for the onboard card in the modprobe blacklist, but thanks to Ubuntu's fancy user-friendly features, it doesn't care and loads it anyway. [16:36] !BUM [16:36] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [16:36] that makes me lol and lol. [16:36] tiyowan: I don't see it in the session startup programs [16:36] i'm more of an rpm person, does anyone know the equivalent to "rpm -ql package"? [16:36] how did i do to install ati drivers ver 8.12 in intrepid ibex [16:36] ??????? [16:36] vexati0n: ye, somehow you cant use it any more [16:36] bidossessi: perhaps if you tell me what it does... [16:36] DasEI: i'll check out bum [16:36] TJ-42: Then I'd go with BUM. [16:36] thanks DasEI and tiyowan [16:37] LjjjL, it lists all files installed by a package [16:37] helloo anyone can tell how to install ati 8.12 drivers in intrepid ibex??????????????? [16:37] bidossessi: then dpkg -L packagename [16:37] ver [16:37] agustin: The ATI drivers should show up in System -> Admin, -> Hardware Drivers [16:37] I want to play dvd on here ? What do I need to do ? [16:37] Raylz: no... you're not paying attention. first, I killed the onboard audio somehow by daring to turn up the volume on the line-in jack. so the card is like physically dead. that's why I replaced it. but AFTER replacing it, ALSA refuses to let go. [16:37] agustin: will hang on xorg 7.4 I gues [16:37] ak5 do "dpkg -L phpmyadmin" to see where your stuff went [16:37] ALSA is emotionally attached to my onboard audio, and I'm just trying to find some closure for it. you know. [16:37] vexati0n: i recently joind :) [16:38] LjjjL, thanks [16:38] vexati0n: another try would be deleting the onboard driver [16:38] hi. i know one way to see my system's language setting is to do echo "$LANG", anyting like that for the locale? [16:38] bidossessi, /var/lib apparently :/ [16:38] I don't understand why it doesn't connect, because my other ubuntu box connects fine [16:39] DasEI - yeah, I thought of that, and then I thought "well, i could just put it in the modprobe blacklist, that would be the same as deleting it since it's a hard rule the kernel has to follow." [16:39] ak5, can you pastebin the result of that command? it should be a long list of files [16:39] !Pastebin | ak5 [16:39] ak5: 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) [16:39] Yo [16:39] but apparently things like "absolute control over your system" are quaint in today's linux world.

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 [16:41] filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock [16:41] is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: [16:41] e2fsck -b 8193 [16:41] shirish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:21] leohartx, do NOT do that, those hidden files are necessary [17:21] tARrAScH: now i found the menu to select the boot device (there's an extra menu for the usb-boot) [17:21] What is the command for the run dialog so I can add it to my ob menu? [17:21] yes [17:21] anyone know what kind of encryption is used in an astaro l2tp over ipsec vpn? [17:21] leohartx: Not a good idea. [17:21] leohartx - in nautilus, seartch for ".*" [17:21] how to disable popup notifications in 8.10, like the network manager? [17:21] leohartx - probably a bad idea, just giving you the instructions (search with ctrl+s) [17:22] peabody: but if this is something you do often, you be better off scripting with rsync if your host lets you ssh in. Then you can put your exclusions in a file for rsync to use [17:22] hasibullah:connect via crossover, better switch, put in the same subnet and iprange = done === Guest95077 is now known as AltinT [17:22] fosco_ : i know, those file are my configuration and program data [17:22] !samba | hasibullah [17:22] hasibullah: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:23] leohartx: why do you have to do it the hard way ? [17:24] Hello, I have a rather quick question. Now using Ubuntu Studio 8.04, is there any painless way to upgrade to 8.10 without reinstall? [17:24] yes why not [17:24] how to disable popup notifications in 8.10, like the network manager one? [17:24] jimcooncat: basically I want sabnzbd to upload the extracted files onto my media server, but when I used curlftpfs to "Move completed to folder" and selected it as a mounted folder, it tries to copy ALL the downloaded files before extracting, and the performance is horrible [17:24] tiyowan : all program config ( not default ) are stored in /home [17:25] Im having a major problem with dpkg -reconfigure locales [17:25] can anyone help me out?

[17:26] DasEL: how can i install Dari Language in my computer [17:26] i tried alot [17:26] tiyowan : ofcourse i do :), importain things will be backed up [17:27] leohartx: still, is it not possible to use nautilus ?

[17:28] tARrAScH: a litter risk, but ok for me [17:28] leohartx: a cleaner? [17:28] peabody: I *almost* figured out what you said. Sounds like you want to download something, extract files from it, and place the extracted files on a filesystem mounted by fuse. Am I close? [17:28] david_: try what tiyowan says... sudo locale-gen [17:29] tARrAScH: no i mean clean way [17:29] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1286025 [17:29] alguém me ajuda com partilha samba??

In all players including spotify via wine [17:31] peabody: you can use incron instead of programming a wait. Extract to a directory monitored by incron, then when a file gets done writing, incron can run a program against it (such as ftp'ing it to your server) [17:31] and rhythmbo [17:31] Intrepid: reset the password then [17:31] genii, same thing as System -> administration -> create usb startup disk [17:31] jrib: did that [17:31] genii, only that one didnt work so i had to use the other one [17:32] Ward1983, unetbootin or usb-creator [17:32] Ward1983: Maybe "unetbootin" or similar [17:32] can anyone help me out? [17:32] Intrepid: don't know then [17:32] no audio plays and it skips through the songs way too fast [17:32] the aptoncd contains packages downloaded on 64-bit...can I use it on 32-bit type [17:32] genii, bazhang correct :D thanx === Mud|afk is now known as Mud|shower [17:32] !ask | Aph3x [17:32] Aph3x: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[17:33] Oops [17:33] onetinsoldier, I have to restart x [17:33] Tinyboom, look up :) [17:33] err tiyowan [17:33] Bundestrojaner: it's handled by the kernel and (I think) the standard power mgt utilities under Intrepid. Go to http://array.org/ubuntu/ for the kernel, for now. Further support → #ubuntu-eeepc [17:33] genii, bazhang now the only thing that i couldnt do was set how much space i wanted for isntalling software, etc [17:33] Aph3x: Have you installed all the codecs? [17:33] achadwick: btw, do you use this special kernel for the eeepc? [17:33] Good evening, i want to print from commandline to a hp-jet networkprinter - how? [17:34] not sure tiyowan, it was working before though [17:34] the aptoncd contains packages downloaded on 64-bit...can I use it on 32-bit type [17:34] genii, bazhang got any idea how to set that up? in system -> administration -> create usb startup disk it was just a slider but with unetbootin there was nothing to specify that [17:34] hi all [17:34] the aptoncd contains packages downloaded on 64-bit...can I use it on 32-bit type [17:34] Bundestrojaner: instructions at the site. If you have no network, use a USB drive to transfer the .deb. [17:34] have you mounted a shared folder using vboxfs file system ?? [17:34] DarkKnight:no [17:35] Intrepid: nope [17:35] okay, thanks then [17:35] Aph3x: What kind of files are you trying to play? [17:35] Intrepid: can you 'su' to your current main user?

[17:35] greetings all. [17:36] jrib: initgroups: Operation not permitted [17:36] nite_johnboy: dmesg > filename.log ? [17:36] Intrepid: what did you get that from? [17:36] when i attempted to su to myself [17:36] Hello everybody!!! I am having two problems: One is that Pidgin windows wont flash when I get a new msg, and IRSSI is not beeping/flashing on hilites. The only thing IRSSI does is make the color of the nick of the person that hilites me different. Any suggestions? [17:37] Intrepid: did it still work anyway? [17:37] david_: i have to go.. good luck. someone will help you i'm sure [17:37] tiyowan: Thank you - would this end up in my /home directory ? [17:37] tiyowan: the '>' operator generally does that or justfor the smesg function only ? i am asking because i want to learn to get along in ubuntu xD [17:37] any command-line-printing experts? [17:37] I have a line like this in a Makefile "$(MAKE) -f plank.make cxx_doc clean" But I have no MAKE variable in my environment, is it not a default definition? [17:37] jrib: it seems that it did not work [17:37] Intrepid: "seems"? [17:38] cristi > tells ubuntu to put the output from the first command into the file. so ls > ls.txt would put ls's output to ls.txt [17:38] jrib: issuing the exit command after that closed the terminal [17:38] Intrepid: ok [17:38] earthmeLon: and where is that text saved? [17:38] nite_johnboy: It will if your current directory is home. Otherwise just use dmesg > /home/blah/filename.log [17:38] cristi to ls.txt [17:38] cristi COMMAND > FILE [17:39] cristi: > can be used with every command. It redirects output. [17:39] Intrepid: have you run any chmod/chown commands recently? [17:39] cristi COMMAND >> FILE will append the output of COMMAND to the end of FILE [17:39] earthmeLon: i was referring to where is ls.text located [17:39] tiyowan: Thanks - Will do. [17:39] Whatever directory you're currently in [17:39] earthmeLon: hah neat! [17:39] Is there program for ripping dvd that rips all the audio , subtitles and chapters for the dvd ? I try using OGMRip it failed like it has done the last to versoin of Ubuntu try it on ? [17:39] jrib: i have, but i believe they were not on any system directories [17:39] Intrepid: what did you run? [17:39] jrib: however, considering the problems i'm encountering, i may be mistaken about that [17:40] tarelerulz: maybe dvdbackup [17:40] !restricted > tarelerulz [17:40] tarelerulz, please see my private message [17:40] earthmeLon: and if i wanted it to be saved somewhere else it would go like command > ~/my/own/path.txt ? [17:40] youtube [17:40] when upgrading between major releases, is it better to just use apt and upgrade or just do a nwe full install? [17:41] jrib: as i can best recall, adding new groups for specific directories under /var/ and secondary drives [17:41] android6011: depends on what "better" means to you [17:41] android6011, update-manager or fresh install whatever you need/want [17:41] jrib: whatever leaves less crap and clutter [17:41] Intrepid: ls -l /bin/su [17:41] how might i install X? [17:41] jrib , i don't want to make on iso . I just want to make an .mkv , avi .mp4 of it. No program seems to do that . That works for me [17:41] android6011: well I don't see how you can do better than a new install in that sense [17:42] thats what i figured [17:42] tarelerulz: I didn't tell you to make an iso [17:42] 755 root:root [17:42] Intrepid: paste the actual line [17:42] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32K /bin/su [17:42] if i max out laptop at 4 gigs then would i be better of with 64 bit? [17:43] android6011: check if you 64bit will cause any issues for you first [17:43] android6011: (ie try a live cd) [17:43] jrib: it hasnt in the past, just wondering if it will make that much of a difference [17:43] android6011: you won't be able to see all 4gb without the 64bit version [17:43] Have any of you rip you own dvd to an files . Not an iso ? if so what you use ? [17:43] android6011: yes, 32 bit can only see 3.2 GB of your 4 installed (or so) [17:44] ok thanks for all the info guys [17:44] tarelerulz: I told you already what I use and I linked you to the wiki page with a few more options... [17:44] how might i install X? im wanting to use conky im new in linux [17:44] 32 bit can se max 4GB of ram... if your graphic card have 512MB then can use only 3.5GB of ram [17:44] tvaughn: how did you install ubuntu?

[17:58] There seem to be few rippers that have all the nice features. it seem like people don't want to really do much. Maybe audio , english and xvide in .avi . I mean for being all about open source stuff. A lot of the program really don't use them well at all. mkv or ogg should be in ever open source ripper . [17:59] tarelerulz: sounds like a project waiting to happen :) [17:59] where is the conf for conky? [17:59] jrib: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 doesn't seem to have worked..unless im just stupid or something lol [17:59] tarelerulz: Code's open buddy. :-) Add what you wish.

[19:49] david_, lol it says 800MB free and i have prepared a 95GB partition....

[19:51] Karotte, I have a T60 running intrepid and do not experience those problems, it must be something specific to your model, or installed software [19:51] Ward1983, the /boot must be seperate from the raid array [19:51] Ward1983, is it? [19:51] joaopinto, I installed from live CD; not sure what you mean with 'real install'. I did install into fat32 partition, at least it used to be fat32.

[19:51] Ward1983, your issue is missing hd space correct? [19:52] david_, let me try to explain again [19:52] iwconfig [19:52] david_, you know unetbootin? [19:52] Torr, if you had no free space, your fat32 partition was deleted [19:52] Ward1983, yes [19:52] joaopinto: some googling told me it's possible, hmm [19:52] david-:I had the idea of reparting the external, if the iso file can't be enlarged, one primary is still free [19:52] david_, i used that on my external drive, from the ubuntu 8.10 livecd, then i rebooted, booting from my external drive [19:52] mpalatnik, my laptop has no monitor, the antenna cables of the wireless are floating on the desk, do you have an idea about how should i put them, like a vertical V or a horizontal O ? [19:52] hi, im dual booting with windows and windows is at the bottom in grub.. how do i make windows as default start? [19:52] Torr, it is only possible with wubi, installing from windows, which was not your case... [19:52] joaopinto: I did have enough free space on this fat32 partition [19:52] david_, then i checked if i could use my 95GB for installing software and some media, etc [19:53] mpalatnik, i did iwconfig. it says 'no wirelesss connectin" for both lo and eth0 [19:53] ubd: whats the brand? [19:53] david_, only then i noticed i only have 800MB free and it should be 90GB+ [19:53] mpalatnik, my laptop is toshiba [19:53] still looking for a good tool to record my work.. i found recordmydesktop.. is it any good? is there anything else ? [19:53] it really doesnt matter, ubd === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [19:53] just use whatever is best [19:53] Torr, anyway: just go the system -> admin -> Partition editor, and check your partitions [19:53] allright [19:53] lawstudent: are you sure your wireless card is detected? [19:53] david_, it must be some problem with unetbootin, i dunno how to tell it to use the intire partition [19:53] Tonus, free space inside the fat32 partition would not be used, unless you shrinked the partition [19:53] axisys, try it. but i think its quite good [19:53] ops, was Torr [19:54] some people used it [19:54] hi, im dual booting with windows and windows is at the bottom in grub.. how do i make windows as default start? [19:54] when i enable "desktop cube effects and deformation" in compiz-settings it unselects again after 1 second [19:54] Ward1983: but then /boot will be on the external in /unetbootin, you bootet from usb [19:54] joaopinto: are there any tools I could use to restore the data then? [19:54] Ward1983, ok and this where what I asked comes into play, the installtion you used is it on a raid array? [19:54] KRF: k .. thnx [19:54] mpalatnik, yes. i see the wirels card in lshw -C network [19:54] sebastian, sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:54] sebastian: this question has been answered many times, please google for it [19:54] DasEI, correct [19:54] i may need to install windows driver [19:54] windows driver? [19:54] david_, i didnt use a installation, i used the livecd [19:54] KRF: thx ;) [19:54] david_, i could have done this without my internal drives even attached [19:54] Torr, if you have overwritten the fat32 partition with the ubuntu install, you should not expect to recover anything [19:55] aonyone here who knows how gstreamer slectes audio device? [19:55] david_, i just booted the livecd and downloaded unetbootin, created the bootable partition, ... [19:55] mpalatnik, yes. i see the wirels card in lshw -C network, but it comes with the word "UNCLAiMED" [19:55] i am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop i get it installed but when i turn the computer on it does nothing it wont even go to grub it stays as a black screen does anyone have any ideas. [19:55] heck ubuntu shopuld worn it's going to delete the partition [19:55] lawstudent: what kind of card is it [19:55] lawstudent, what is the brand of your wireless card? [19:55] *warn [19:55] david_, the external HD itself is just a single HD, nothing fancy, no raid [19:55] i am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop i get it installed but when i turn the computer on it does nothing it wont even go to grub it stays as a black screen does anyone have any ideas. [19:55] Again, I amm following that howto but with no luck: I am trying sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox [19:56] SuNDeC, a card from china, mpalatnik [19:56] Torr: it does... [19:56] hey guys... is there a way I can use apt-get to export my currently installed packages, so that I can then import what I have installed to another machine? [19:56] youre going to need to be more specific lawstudent [19:56] but I get "Leaving `local diversion of /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu' .. What should I do? All I want is to install firefox 3. [19:56] i am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop i get it installed but when i turn the computer on it does nothing it wont even go to grub it stays as a black screen does anyone have any ideas. [19:56] i cant select "rotate cube" in compiz settings [19:56] raylu, I think it didn't [19:56] Occy, yes but i cannot remember the name [19:56] !aptoncd | Occy [19:56] Occy: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [19:56] SuNDeC, mpalatnik vendor is Marvell Technology group Ltd. [19:56] Torr, it did not deleted anything without explicitly asking you... [19:56] Torr: are we talking about the installer? [19:56] i am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop i get it installed but when i turn the computer on it does nothing it wont even go to grub it stays as a black screen does anyone have any ideas. [19:57] lawstudent: it will be simpler if u do lshw -html you will get html code, make it in to *.html document and there u could see the exact brand of ur wireless card and find a driver for it online [19:57] Occy, you can also just make a list and redownl;oad them if you want that, but i dunno the name for that [19:57] raylu: hmm... interesting. thanks [19:57] I looked at the website. So I have 3GB of RAM -- That mean I should be using 6GB for SWAP? [19:57] i have got a new ati x1950 graphics card. i can still boot ok un-till i load the ati driver and reset then after the loading screen the computer hangs on a blank black screen. alt+ctrl+f1 does nothing, the only way to fix it is boot into recovery mode and run xfig which then un-installs the driver. I need the driver for 3d support with this card. Thank you. [19:57] Ward1983: yeah that's kinda what I was looking for [19:57] lawstudent, mpalatnik i think Marvell is Ethernet, not wirelss, or i wrong? [19:57] joaopinto, well I was watching so it wouldn't delete anything, I have choosen to use an existing partition and choosen to use the whole space/disk whatever, but afaik it didn't say it would delete anything [19:57] Ward1983: dpkg -l, usually grepped with some something (^ii) [19:57] Occy, what raylu said [19:57] Ward1983, I would say unebootin may have installed into grub incorrectly [19:58] david_, into grub? [19:58] Guys would some one be willing to try and help me sort our a driver for my video card (or at least a work around) so that i could have 3d effects ? [19:58] Tonus, "the whole disk" is pretty clear, no ? [19:58] david_, you think unetbootin altered one of my internal disks??? [19:58] also when i boot ubuntu it goes in aloop trying to boot but it just keeps restarting it is a hp pavilian dv6700 laptop [19:58] erm, Torr [19:58] Ward1983: so it should be possible to boot your regular sys (not external) and from there rezise sde2 [19:58] someone network manager is no longer on my panel, it is running, just isn't visible on my panel? [19:58] plz help when i boot ubuntu it goes in a loop trying to boot but it just keeps restarting it is a hp pavilian dv6700 laptop [19:59] DasEI, or a live CD right? [19:59] Solarium, no use making html, coz no net connectin on the comp [19:59] actually I'd rather just probably make a complete system backup of this laptop and then dump it to a desktop. It's all setup and configured the way I need it to be. [19:59] Ward1983: or so [19:59] joaopinto: no! if some program is going to delete all data on partition it must be very verbose... [19:59] DasEI, but the size is correct :( [19:59] Occy: normally, i just backup /home [19:59] DasEI, the size is correct [19:59] how do you install grub manully [19:59] DasEI, it jsut refuses to use it [19:59] randal: grub-install [19:59] raylu: I installed Trac and some other web software... would hate to have to go through re-configing it [19:59] I hibernated my laptop (new install) and it just loaded forever when I resumed it later. What can be wrong then? [19:59] i think i just need a person that has experience with unetbootin [19:59] Ward1983: take a look, how they are lying, don't use sde2 = bootimage [19:59] Ward1983, isnt the requirement is to have grub or bootloader loaded into the usb drive? if its a live cd then it could be a faulty live cd [19:59] raylu: can i do that with the live cd i cant boot into ubuntu [19:59] randal: yes [20:00] lawstudent, it will just show you the info of your machine with all the hardware in a more easy to read way (if u get confused by all the info in the console) [20:00] joaopinto: 'all disk' could also mean it is allwed to use whole disk for storage, why would I expect ubuntu to delete all files, if it is reusing the fat32 partition? [20:00] david_, yes the bootloader on the HD works fine [20:00] moijk: resuming from suspend/hibernate has always been hit or miss [20:00] Ward1983, ok so this is where unebootin installs into [20:00] If anybody has experience with trouble shooting setting up dual monitors I'd greatly appreciate some help. [20:00] lawstudent, and then u will see the exact type of u card (no connection to internet needed) [20:00] raylu: so i type sudo apt grub-install [20:00] david_, i can boot from the disk and everything it jsut says 800MB free and it should be 90GB or more [20:00] Can someone help me with a simple CGI script i have ? http://www.nopaste.org/p/aQhYvCXYib [20:00] david_:obviously there's a bootloader on the external, too [20:00] raylu: any way to make it not? [20:00] Solarium, where does it save the html file? [20:00] Torr: you definitely should have read more carefully [20:00] DasEI, yes but supposedly unebootin doesnt save the changes? [20:00] raylu: whats the complete code to install grub [20:01] Torr: it needs to format the partition first, just like any other OS [20:01] randal: use grub-install --help [20:01] randal: or man grub-install [20:01] raylu, it was already formated [20:01] can anyone tell me how to direct ALL audio to my blue tooth headset, and to be able to turn it off and on? [20:01] lawstudent, it will generate a html code for you. u can just copy it to a new file and make the extention .html [20:01] moijk: yeah. code support for resuming for your hardware into the kernel :P [20:01] raylu: is it sudo grub-install [20:01] moijk: it could be that you don't have enough swap space [20:01] randal: yes, but you need to specify more things. again, read the documentation [20:01] Torr: ...right [20:01] Torr: but it has to reformat [20:02] raylu: why? [20:02] Torr: so that there are no other files that will conflict with the installation [20:02] david_: which changes ? if you just shrink the system-iso-parti to lets say 1 gig, don't touch mbr, add a new parti ~ 95 g , fine ?! Ward1983 [20:02] isn't there anyone here with FireFox 3 on Gutsy? I need help with that. All efforts went bad -- and I am not even sure what architecture I have [20:02] ehmm ok... [20:02] Solarium, the top part is not scrollable [20:02] How do I edit the items in the notification area on the panel, Right click and remove removes the entire notification area applet and not individual items [20:02] raylu: wheres the doccument [20:03] isnt gutsys end of life near?

Still, I need FireFox 3 [20:04] raylu: is that a channel what do i do to see that document [20:04] Ward1983: at 800mb not much is possible, sure, can drag out /home [20:04] rookeeeeeeeee: because they work and if the system is doing what it needs to do wel, why fix it [20:04] cdavis_: it's based on the apps your running; you can't do it for each icon [20:04] Ward1983, why not just make a bootable portable drive and not use this software lol [20:04] i have got a new ati x1950 graphics card. i can still boot ok un-till i load the ati driver and reset then after the loading screen the computer hangs on a blank black screen. alt+ctrl+f1 does nothing, the only way to fix it is boot into recovery mode and run xfig which then un-installs the driver.

In windows, you turn it on by touching the button (its one of those capacitance buttons), but that doesn't work in ubuntu. I read on a forum post that ubuntu doesn't support the touching of the button, but it could still be turned on somehow. Anyone know anything helpful?

[20:16] raylu: how do you select harddrive [20:16] raylu, how is that possible ? .. just don't use gui or what ?

[20:22] raylu, many thanks, I try to find something [20:22] raylu: another thing is when the external hardrive is pluged in it goes on a lopp crashing and when its not pluged in it works [20:22] macjason0607: if you can [20:22] randal: grub-install --help says: [20:23] randal: Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device [20:23] randal: so choose the device that matches the drive [20:23] macjason0607: if you can't find the help button, use the menu: System -> Help and Support [20:23] raylu: i typed in install_device it said command unknown [20:23] raylu: ill try that agian [20:23] sudo fdisk -l [20:23] randal: .... [20:24] randal: you clearly have not read the documentation [20:24] peleg: You have installed FF3 in /opt/firefox/firefox, right? There doesn't appear to be a diversion as you mention it ... [20:24] greetings all [20:24] hey [20:24] I have a quick question; I guess I'll just shout it out [20:24] peleg: what opens when you execute /usr/bin/firefox ? [20:24] Ten1: that's what we do here :-) [20:25] anyone here using xen on a desktop machine? [20:25] raylu: i have read it it just didnt work when i did i might of typed the cammand in wrong ok ill try it agian [20:25] anyone know a good bash script that would automatically compress a folder if folder gets above lets say 50 megs? please dont tell me to go to #Bash, those kinda channels are always dead, ty :) [20:25] !anyone | deever [20:25] deever: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:25] Asad, I have installed it, and checked: firefox -v give me "Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4". but typing only firefox gives me firefox 2 [20:25] oh! [20:25] So i will be giving up for today, seems no one got the knowledge or power to deal with my vga card, cheers all [20:25] i uninstalled pulseaudio from ubuntu and now it works but every time i restart or resume from hibernate it doesnt [20:25] eseven73: #bash is far from dead. [20:25] bonsoir [20:26] Asad, wait, maybe I should close all of the existing firefox 2 windows before I try to run firefox 3 ? [20:26] eseven73: no, but df will help you [20:26] why did ubuntu drop all support for anything but pulse which hapens to totally break 24-bit wound [20:26] eye_pee: Ran into the ninja-pandas, I see [20:26] peleg: exactly :) [20:26] Hi. I installed xorg and have nothing in my xorg.conf. dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do anything either. How can I setup xorg? [20:26] I'm trying to run openbox [20:26] LjL: i doubt its as responsive as #Ubuntu though :P [20:26] Solarium, i scroll, scroll, scroll... and do not see a question :p [20:26] hey, so I'm trying to setup a pxe boot server on my desktop, and the dhcpd3 daemon is giving me a [failed]. where is the log file to see what has failed? [20:26] eseven73: for bash-specific questions, it most certainly is [20:26] raylu: df? [20:26] Ubuntu 8.10 After disconecting my USB headset to transfer files to a USB drive I lost the sound in Flash and the sound Ubuntu makes when starting and stopping. Still have sound on rythmbox. Any ideas? [20:26] can i download a pkg onto sd card. and then install elsewhere? [20:26] Solarium, not that im very good with graphics cards but maybe someone else is [20:26] raylu: i type in the comman INSTALL_DEVICE and it says the command is unknown [20:27] command [20:27] Solarium: i didn't see you in any point even state the type of your gfx card [20:27] Uhh i see my name [20:27] randal: INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename. [20:27] i will repost [20:27] randal: see what happens when you read? [20:27] Guys could i maybe trouble some one with helping me get a driver for my video card so it will support 3d (or a work around with other compatable driver. currently using vesa)? [20:27] Asad, looks like it'll work now. thanks! [20:27] scientes: that's not ubuntu, that's the gnome project which made the decisison to go for a new audio server (and i agree with them that it was needed) [20:27] raylu: i read that but didnt understand what it said [20:27] Solarium, people cannot help you id they do not know what kind of graphics card you own [20:27] it a sis 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [20:28] Solarium: you will not have acceleration on SiS, iirc. [20:28] Ward1983, sorry slow [20:28] eseven73: anyway i'm sure i understand the rationale of your question. i mean, if it's a *directory*, it contains stuff that might need to be used. now, given ext3 doesn't have on the fly compression, "compressing" it would mean turning it into a tarball, wouldn't it? [20:28] randal: the devices are listed in "sudo fdisk -l" [20:28] Solarium, you sohuld try to give as much info as possible with your question, and you can allways ask the question right away, if someone can help they will answer, if not wait [20:28] eseven73: and that doesn't sound particularly nice to any programs that might be wanting to use it [20:28] does anyone know if grub can boot off a CD? I tried specifying cd0 in menu.1st, but it didn't like it. [20:28] Solarium, ah no problem [20:28] Solarium: not sure about the new sis cards but many of them don't support acceleration [20:28] anybody on xorg?? [20:28] jerbear: echo "hello world" > /dev/usb/lp0 That managed to print to it just fine... guess I didn't need the lpr after all [20:29] eye_pee: you'd have o configure devices.map first [20:29] ray im trying to install grub on /dev/sda1 [20:29] LjL , eseven73 : squashfs ? [20:29] Solarium: support acceleration => with foss drivers in linux [20:29] LjL: no no all this stuff is on a external HDD, its just backups of various files, its nothing that is being used by the system at all [20:29] piksi well i don't want play games on it or anything, i am realistic, but some eye candy would be nice looking for a bit then the vesa driver [20:29] randal: you mean /dev/sda? [20:29] RediXe: whatever works for you, but that's not the same thing [20:29] can i configure the terminal to automatically copy what I select? like I do with putty under windows? [20:29] eseven73: in that case why does it need to be done automatically? can't you just run the compression once, manually? [20:29] raylu: thanks. I'll look into that. [20:29] raylu: thats what i wrote ya [20:29] piksi, i am pretty new to linux/ubuntu so could please explain what foss drivers are ? [20:29] jerbear: I just needed to send text to it, It's just a simple receipt printer. [20:29] randal: you said sda1...? [20:30] LjL: im doing that now and its very time consuming [20:30] whats the name of the compiz tray icon program? [20:30] stefg: depends on what eseven73 actually wants to achieve, squashfs definitely isn't a filesystem for "normal" use [20:30] i have a lot of backups LjL [20:30] raylu: well when i typed in the command it says /dev/sda1 [20:30] nbeebo: fusion-icon [20:30] pici, thanks [20:30] that is the partistion with ubuntu [20:30] eye_pee: good luck. i've had trouble convincing grub that it's automatically configured devices.map isn't as smart as mine [20:30] Solarium: for your card it's goint go be VERY hard. i haven't seen anyone get the sis 771/671 to work with the sis drivers yet... [20:30] randal: ...what command? [20:30] I'm trying to install a driver, and it tells me that gcc and the kernel compiler are different versions, and further instructs me to type export CC=(kernelcompiler). It states that the kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7), is that what I should give to export ? [20:30] eseven73: "du | sort -n" in any directory will tell you what subdirectories are the biggest, any script may be based on that [20:31] raylu: sudo fdisk one [20:31] can i use apt-get to get a deb file without innstalling? [20:31] do a lot of you perfer the gui or cli ? [20:31] Ten1: uhm... what version of ubuntu? [20:31] Ten1: sounds like you're about to install the nvidia drivers automatically [20:31] raylu: sudo fdisk -l [20:31] macjason0607: the cli :D [20:31] macjason0607: meaningless question really, also, this is not a channel to take polls in. try #ubuntu-offtopic [20:31] piksi, thats seems the only answer i see every where i look, pretty disapointed with this laptop, but i shall keep looking [20:31] randal: ...great...but it also listed /dev/sda, which is where you need to install grub [20:31] piksi, can you please explain what "foss drivers" means ? [20:31] !foss | Solarium [20:32] Solarium: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [20:32] Solarium: free and open source [20:32] LjL, why would i go to offtopic ? im trying to find better information on my os [20:32] ugh...it didn't even expad it. [20:32] Solarium: foss = free open source software, meaning the "open source drivers" that the linux kernel uses [20:32] * Solarium feels pretty stupid right about now [20:32] raylu: it only has /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 [20:32] Solarium: i learned to stay away from SiS the hard way myself.... good luck to you, i hope you find a solution [20:32] i noticed that there are packages for python3.0 in the apt repos... are there any for 2.6? [20:32] macjason0607: this is a support channel, for technical support questions and answer. "do you people prefer ..." is not such a question. [20:32] randal: look more closely. it should say something like: Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes [20:32] Ward1983:hehe, I got a empty usb here and a second comp... any data on your 1 TB can't save ? [20:32] ok [20:33] piksi, thank you i shall not give up just yet [20:33] Good evening gents and ladies [20:33] Ten1: do you have gcc 4.2.3 installed? [20:33] raylu: CRAP THATS ABOVE WHAT I WAS READING [20:33] DasEI, "any data on your 1TB can't save" im not sure how you mean that [20:33] raylu: yes it says thaT IM sorry [20:33] DasEI, lol you gonna try it aswell? [20:34] stefg: do you run xen on a desktop? [20:34] Ubuntu 8.10 After disconecting my USB headset to transfer files to a USB drive I lost the sound in Flash and the sound Ubuntu makes when starting and stopping. Still have sound on rythmbox. Any ideas? === fredus__ is now known as fredus [20:34] raylu: apparently I should be directing my inquiries elsewhere [20:34] Ward1983:sure, madness is back ,lol [20:34] raylu: so how do i install grub there [20:34] cbarreda: stop rhythmbox, killall artsd. no idea if that'll do anything [20:35] how can i do so a specific window doesnt get affected by compiz effects? [20:35] DasEI, lol i didnt break yet but im about to go for a smoke, thanx for trying it btw, thats probably the most persistant help i ever had lol [20:35] Ward1983: I just read that the install doesn't differ from a stadard install persistent>< not live [20:35] deever: i played a bit with libvirt and virt-manager (for remote controlling xen/kvm on a server from my desktop) [20:35] nbeebo: you want all your windows to be managed by compiz except one? heh...that's sort of paradoxial [20:35] raylu: so do i type this in the terminal grub-install /dev/sda [20:36] randal: yes [20:36] randal: sudo [20:36] DasEI, ye regular installation would be no problem, but offcourse i want the live way, because ill be using a variety of systems [20:36] raylu, i know its possible so thanks for help [20:36] raylu: that exact code [20:36] Ward1983: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ , first 3 sentences [20:36] raylu: so sudo grub-install /dev/sda [20:36] Hmmm, I guess what I need is a way to completely and utterly backup this drive (dd?) and put it on another machine. [this is a laptop -- I have mysql and other software configured to run as a server] [20:37] how can i check id of a window? im thinking about conky [20:37] Good evening everybody.. I'm an author of the library libproxy and a ubuntu user reported an issue with compiling the lib, linking against mozilla-js on Ubuntu 8.10. Libproxy uses pkg-config in order to identify the location of include files, but apparently on Ubuntu 8.10, this seems not to reflect the reality. Is something like this known to you? [20:37] DasEI, thats weird, since it doesnt look normal at all as you've seen lol [20:37] raylu: got error saying could not dins device for /boot [20:37] what is the proper way to give a user sudo privileges? [20:37] DimStar: try #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu [20:37] hello i have one hard drive where i have installed Fedora 10 and Windows XP Pro, i have a free partition where id like to install Ubuntu 8.10. first question can Fedora and Ubuntu share swap partition or i have to create one specially for ubuntu? second one whats going to happen with GRUB, can ubuntu detect fedora 10 and windows and F10 kernel changes? [20:37] python 2.6 in ubuntu... anyone? [20:38] raylu: thank you very much+ [20:38] raylu: find* [20:38] Stavros: sudo visudo [20:38] Ward1983: it is weird, few lines further down they again speek of a bootable live [20:38] raylu: thanks [20:38] raylu: could you give me the exact code [20:38] randal: dins device? [20:38] Stavros: Just add them to the admin group, no need to go mucking about with visudo. [20:38] raylu: find* [20:38] DasEI, i think they probably mean "it works the same as a real installation, software you install, will remain on your system" [20:39] my sound in wine isn't working, though it worked perfectly before, any help? [20:39] Pici: that doesn't work for me, says the admin group doesn't exist [20:39] Ward1983: anyhow, we could try following : use a dvd image and have a additional data parti for the rest; from within ubuntu later unneeded packages can be deleted > space enough [20:39] Pici: and visudo doesn't have an allowance for an admin group [20:39] Stavros: By default it should. [20:39] raylu: plz fast whats the code to install grub in /dev/sda [20:39] raylu: cant you type the code plz [20:39] hi quick question when i ran command exaile & shouldnt I be able to perform other commands after that or am i using the wrong command? [20:39] please help me [20:39] DasEI, thats a dirty workaround and therefore not valid :p [20:40] my usb controller seems to be locking up, where do I look for the error messages in that regards [20:40] DasEI, maybe i can make a installer blueray first :p [20:40] regard* [20:40] Pici: this is odd... [20:40] how do i remove window decoration from one window with compiz? [20:40] Stavros, are you, like, on ubuntu...? [20:40] Ward1983: eeerm, I won't rewrite unetbootin tonight [20:40] Anybody here know LVM + Cryptsetup? [20:40] randal: what was the error?

[20:40] Xero, oh okay thanks [20:41] I'm trying to set up LVM + Cryptsetup (w/ LuksOpen). Do I LVM the whole partition? [20:41] asdfasdfasdf, second there is a way, it's called chainloading, but it's complicated [20:41] randal: do you have /boot? ls /boot [20:41] what about grub can ubuntu detect fedora and its kernel changes? [20:41] raylu: i think i typed the code in rong i typed in sudo grub-install /dev/sda [20:41] anyone know how to list a directory in tree structure?

[20:41] asdfasdfasdf, h/o i've got it bookmarked :P [20:41] DasEI, but i just dont think its a acceptable option [20:41] and the appropriate line in visudo is commented out [20:41] Stavros: Is this a custom install? Or a distro based off of ubuntu 8.10? [20:41] DasEI, brb [20:41] Xero, thanks [20:42] hi quick question when i ran command exaile & shouldnt I be able to perform other commands after that or am i using the wrong command? [20:42] raylu, killall artsd did not work. I added a user and that user has sound in flash and on the startup. My account only has sound on rythmbox [20:42] Pici: it's on a virtual server, so it might be a bit custom, i'm not sure [20:42] raylu: ya [20:42] Stavros: A linode?

[20:58] the integrity test always fails [20:58] raylu: for .jpg, .gif and other images, it displays a thumbnail. Fine. A double-clic will open them big. Great. [20:58] Pirate_Hunter: ...no it doesn't. running guis in a terminal makes no sense [20:58] Sarten-X, have you tried burning at a lowlowLOW speed like 4x? [20:58] raylu: the problem is for .avi : it does not hide them, so it should handle them, right? but a double-clic does nothing [20:58] that's what everything but the first has been [20:58] i'll be back soon guys, miss's is calling [20:59] right now Im using a wirelesscard but I have a wireless router connetced to it [20:59] I trying to mess with settings to connetc to the net using the wireless router rather than the card [20:59] !info ncmpc | Pirate_Hunter [20:59] ncmpc (source: ncmpc): text based audio player.

[21:59] raylu: I assumed ubuntu was using one of those dependency-based init scripts rather than the numeric, but it seems I'm wrong [22:00] raylu, I was saying before my comp died, that i cannot log into xfce it crashes each time [22:00] david_: um...what does that have to do with dpkg? [22:00] daesudalus: tried the alternate cd? [22:01] not yet, currently trying it with safe graphics and ascpi off [22:01] daesudalus: have you tried unplugging/disconnecting/turning off printers?

When the network cable is plugged in, there is no internet anymore. The wired connection has the 'system setting' box in the network config checked, and the wireless one doesn't. I cannot change this, because it [22:13] DasEI, i think so, i just had to choose my disk manually, it did even autodetect the right disk and partition [22:13] Ward1983:probably the win exe comes up with the gui shown on their hp, too [22:13] kristian_: SFTP works -- How about SSH? [22:13] Formode : i currently use an (somewhat) older HP laptop for one of my production servers [22:14] DasEI, the linux one is the same, maybe you downloaded a CLI only version [22:14] raylu, does the mirror I choose affect this?

[22:14] psyjoniz, I have my current rig set up with all of it, but it's on a 500 watt psu, and that's as low as I can saftely get it. :( [22:14] Saga_ : what about it/ssh? [22:14] well it's not oing it for me anyway, and i can't find any debugger neither :/ [22:14] Ward1983:yes, just does a netinstall [22:14] openssl-server cover ssh? [22:14] DasEI, the linux one i used seemed to work perfectly, only the problem with the size offcourse [22:14] augie: er...there's only one mirror, isn't there? [22:14] Saga_: why don't you just try?

But I did alot of research on this and I could not find any viable voice applications taht support either MSN or AIM at the current time. [22:35] anyone setup a aiptek or trust graphics tablet up on 8.04??? [22:35] action: at what point do i do that? [22:36] sumo_su: if you installed it you have to also configure the wpa [22:36] aMsn does support voice, just need to make sure you have the latest version [22:36] !wpa | sumo_su [22:36] sumo_su: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:36] you may need to activate cam mode to start it though [22:36] can anyone help me with my install, i boot up everything but at the point of the install where it tries to detect the DVDRIVE, it can't [22:36] Formode ok. Thank you for your help. :-) [22:36] anyone know how to change thunderbird from replying below the previous message to replying above? [22:36] ActionParsnip: At what point do i do that? [22:37] sim_ is also saying AMSN does voice. I'd suggest peeking around. I remember I specifically avoided AMSN because I don't like the interface. [22:37] vynlwombat: in the live session [22:37] hi all - running ubuntu on a new thinkpad and it seems pretty clear that gnome is running in its basic video mode - how would i go about figuring out what driver to install to get the nice video (or if there is one available)? thanks and sorry for the noob question... [22:37] ActionParsnip: so.. if i can select WPA it does not automaically mean its confirured/installed? [22:37] sumo_su: not necessarily [22:37] I'm getting a ZaReason Laptop tomorrow, yay! [22:37] cam [22:37] yes amsn does do voice, you just have to make sure you have the latest version, , you may have to activate cam mode to get into voice conversation [22:37] outoftime: Intel, Nvidia, or ATI? [22:37] can't anyone halp me? [22:37] ActionParsnip: alright thanks for your help [22:37] sumo_su: you need to configure the wpa, then tell your wifi to use the config [22:38] Formode, I believe it's intel - it's the onboard video [22:38] i just installed eclipse, but can't find it anywhere ... any ideas where it should be?

[22:51] raylu: appearance prefs won't let me switch out of "None" visual effects mode, and I've noticed when alt-tabbing etc. that none of the prettiness is there. and it also just seems really slow to redraw windows etc. [22:51] fep: heh. i'd like to see the lspci, then [22:52] :-\ [22:52] hello i have problem with my sound its low i puted everything in hight but its not loud hard to hear it ( my audio card ) Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [22:52] Hello!!

I never want it to be used, ever. if I try to remove it, it removes other apps such as Samba [22:53] ill ask again when i have the other computer here [22:53] raylu: thanks it worked :) [22:53] but now i know i get respons here [22:53] :) [22:54] Samus_Aran: samba depends on it...you could disable it in the rc.d...maybe [22:54] AltinT: np [22:54] crimsun: it can fix it ? ( i just reformat before the sound wasnt that good but i can hear now its hard to hear ) [22:54] raylu: http://pastebin.com/d6b138335 [22:54] Samus_Aran: it's called from /etc/cron.daily, so i guess you could just remove its script [22:54] is it likely that someone see my post if i post the question at the forum ? [22:54] smelian: no, it doesn't fix anything by itself. It provides some information to people like me who are trying to help you. [22:54] Samus_Aran: a whole bunch of stuff depends on it, so you can't remove it, per se. You could disable it by removing its scripts in /etc/cron.* [22:55] yes it is fep, you will get good advice on the forum, it can be easier for long complicated probelsm [22:55] problems* [22:55] anyone here using xen on a desktop machine?

I'm using "depend" here in the package manager sense, as in "if you remove it, apt will remove whichever of those 86 packages you have installed too" [22:57] oops. [22:57] outoftime: hrm. i dunno. there are a few warnings in there [22:57] <_chris___> is there someone who could help me with ubuntu 8.04 and the problem i am having with mounting drives?

[22:58] the forum is easy fep, just make sure you read the sticky topics and use a descriptive thread title :) [22:58] <_chris___> the cdrom and the secondary hard drives wich are fat32 are not mounting it says something to the nature of some kind of dberror and security [22:58] rww: I was using depend in the sense that the programs actually require it to function, which none of them do [22:58] !who | sim__ [22:58] sim__: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I hate it. I have massive storage and I hate having to rip through hundreds upon hundreds of log files trying to find things ... all out of chronological order because of the stupid way logrotate messes it up [22:59] _chris___: show us the error from mount [22:59] o ok [22:59] Samus_Aran: grep? [23:00] Samus_Aran: then rip it out of cron [23:00] Formode, raylu: thanks much for your help! [23:00] raylu: how does grep help ? I want to look through my log files with less. logrotate creates files that are not in chronological order, and compressed with gzip, so there's no easy way to get around it [23:00] Samus_Aran: zless [23:00] outoftime, Sorry I couldn't be of much help! [23:01] Formode: it's the effort that counts - I appreciate it : ) [23:01] Samus_Aran: and zgrep [23:01] outoftime: you could try the #x11 channel [23:01] outoftime ^^ === kristian_ is now known as kristian` [23:01] raylu: perhaps I shall - thank you!

[23:07] Hey can anybody help me figure out why only 3.2 gigs of my 4 gigs of RAM are discovered/available in Ubuntu (it says the same thing in my BIOS) could it be because my Intel GMA gfx card is using the other 800? I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu [23:08] DasEI, btw here my 95GB partition just stayed 95GB, but it wont let me use more in the filesystem === thebleh is now known as ZakK-- [23:08] filesystem can only use 800MB more [23:08] Ward1983: Some of it is reserved for root?

[23:11] akorpija: ok :-) but 800MB seems to be a little bit much for the graphics adapter. for on-noard gfx boards its often possible to choose the memory size in the bios.

[23:16] lfaraone: there is also an open version, and vmware is even less free [23:16] dasei, That does not work. :O "Invalid Option" [23:17] fep: again, show us lspci [23:17] zsquareplusc, yes the livecd on the HD that is correct [23:17] raylu, ok [23:17] fep: also, aptoncd may help you with dependencies. i don't know if it'll put stuff on a usb, though [23:17] Ward1983: did you check with "df -h" that lists all drives currently mounted [23:17] how come my irssi keeps saying "IIRC" sometimes? [23:17] Formode: try man vmware or --help, for exact syntax [23:17] zsquareplusc, the last part of the sentence i cannot understand though [23:17] zsquareplusc, yes i allready did that [23:17] Formode: the advantage of vmware is that you can run guests of a different arch to the host's one with it, afaik [23:18] zsquareplusc, ill pastebin the output, just a sec [23:18] So I just upgraded to 8.10 (from 8.04) and my integrated webcam no longer works. I have been reading alot of stuff about this issue online, but can't really translate the problem, or how to solve it for me. There was a fix that worked with the old kernel, and now that the kernal is 2.6.27-9 (this is what i have), the fix no longer works. If anyone could help me out at all that would be great. Thank you! [23:18] davidkap: downgrade the kernel? [23:18] zsquareplusc, http://pastebin.com/f477939db [23:18] Formode how do you launch it? [23:18] Formode: if you don't need that, virtualbox is an real alternative [23:18] deever: I'm x86/64bit, and I find VMWARE incredibly intrusive. [23:19] koshar1, The Application menu? [23:19] zsquareplusc, /dev/sde2 95G 898M 89G 1% /cdrom [23:19] raylu: I would do this, but the issue is not that significant (only effects cheese). It seems it effects different people, webcam, and drivers differently. That is why this is so confusing to me. [23:19] Ward1983: the live cd uses a ramdisk as root, that is the disk that is mounted as /, thats not your disk [23:19] Any one have any idea why my 3rd party applications for Medibuntu (or any 3rd party apps at all for that matter) are not showing up in my "add remove". I have the repositories added and the key added. Is there some other option I need to have enabled. [23:19] vmware is nice except for their horrible horrible web interface. ick. [23:19] zsquareplusc, so how could i make it use all the space i intended to use? [23:19] Formode cant find an entry? and #screenlets give no app? [23:20] dirtymerc Use Synaptic. :D [23:20] Ward1983: yes, your disk is mounted under cdrom as the live CD assumes its always a CD :-) [23:20] dirtymerc: because you need to use synaptic instead the Add/Remove is just a select amount of packages [23:20] eseven73, use vmware 1 not vmware 2 and it wont have the horrible web interface [23:20] koshar, I'm trying to remove VMware. >> [23:20] davidkap: er... cheese? [23:20] anyone here using xen on a desktop machine? [23:20] because when i install ubundu-xen-server, i don't get any longer to the password prompt for my encrypted root and swap partitions and the box reboots [23:20] so would have to do it some other way... [23:20] Ward1983: why do you want to run the live system? [23:20] Ok understood [23:20] jojo12241: yeah but im sure 2, has more fixes/features than 1 [23:20] raylu: it is a webcam program that is similiar to photobooth on a mac [23:20] true [23:21] zsquareplusc, i would like to make a bootable partition that i intend to run on many systems, at friends, here in the house, etc [23:21] raylu: i was basically stopping in to see if anyone was familiar enough with the problem to talk to me about it [23:21] !Cheese | Raylu [23:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about Cheese [23:21] zsquareplusc, it needs to replace my broken laptop temporarily :) [23:21] Formode dont worry it was hidden in sys>preferences [23:21] davidkap: oh...ok. i don't really have any suggestions besides downgrading the kernel. it's a pretty painless process [23:21] raylu: can I pm you? [23:21] zsquareplusc, i read everywhere how simple that was and how nice, only nobody can help me with it so far lol, i guess its not that popular :s [23:21] davidkap: sure, but i'm unlikely to be of much help [23:22] Formode: /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-server.pl there ? [23:22] Ward1983: ok. the CD usually forgets everything on a reboot. if you want to have a persistent home, or even that the entire system keeps its state, you can make a separate partition (one for live cd contents and a second, big one). and call that casper-rw or casper-cow (e2label) [23:23] raylu, now its posted at the same page [23:23] zsquareplusc, yep the intire system should be persistent, installed software should remain installed, etc [23:23] Dasei: I'm getting "No such file" [23:23] Ward1983: the other possibitly is to just use cd mounted "cdrom" as data parition, but that wont keep your settings across reboots [23:24] zsquareplusc, i would really need to keep settings [23:24] for the ubuntu usb drive creator thing, does it just put the kernel on the flash drive then a squashfs image for root?

[23:25] tvaughn: shift+Z+Q [23:26] <_chris___> control x [23:26] Ward1983: so you probably want a casper-rw partition. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence [23:26] ty [23:26] tvaughn: or esc :q!

One more quick q: what program did you use to check that it was working right away? [23:39] _chris___: /media/dir is just a mount point, it could be /path/to/a/directory/that/is/empty [23:39] raylu: oh, i see. it's replacing the first occurrence in every line. [23:39] Also: how might I go about configuring USB mice/keyboards so as to set different actions for buttons and hotkeys? [23:39] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [23:39] raylu: how can i replace the first occurrence in the whole file? [23:39] np [23:39] santor: yeah before I started messing, it would accept passwords or pub key [23:40] staticshock: i think you want /m [23:40] staticshock: i forget [23:40] oh, ok [23:40] so, in actuality, what i want to do is insert some text at the top of the file. how do i do that? [23:40] magikid_: alright [23:40] GodfatherofEire: what do you mean? simultaneous downloads? it certainly downloads many packages, one after the other when you install a lot [23:40] hi [23:40] this was gonna be my approach, but maybe there's an easier way [23:40] neeeevermind i forgot to ldconfig [23:40] magikid_: so we can say the key pair is fine [23:40] zsquareplusc, yes, would a couple of simultaneous downloads be a problem or just a fluke? [23:40] jepht: dmesg should give you log messages when you plug it in [23:41] well, pair of simultaneous [23:41] anyone here using xen on a desktop machine? [23:41] because when i install ubuntu-xen-server, i don't get any longer to the password prompt for my encrypted root and swap partitions and the box reboots [23:41] so would have to do it some other way... [23:41] santor: should be, I generated a new key pair just for this [23:41] staticshock: hrm. i suppose you could cp the file, echo the text, then cat the copy >> original file [23:41] staticshock In this example you can see that >> is append.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:41] GodfatherofEire: that is no problem. it just downloads first and with 2 connections it can be quicker.

I can only get the nvidia proprietary drivers glx, but I want mesa in order to test something. Please help! [23:42] zsquareplusc, nice so it problably works [23:42] magikid_: did you test the keypair before you started editing teh config? [23:42] oxiii: just use the nv drivers and it will use mesa === kazer_ is now known as KaZeR [23:43] http://pastie.org/340000 wtf [23:43] :D [23:43] LjL: <3 [23:43] santor: No. It honestly didn't occur to me.

[23:44] yes [23:44] what /dev are cdroms? [23:44] Can anyone help me with my ubuntu install it keeps failing @ DETECT AND MOUNT CDROM [23:44] zsquareplusc, i mean long for the content, i duno the right word in english [23:44] but i can't find where to change the hotkey to something shorter [23:44] santor: "mount" will help you [23:44] like so long its a bit boring [23:45] AltinT: looking.. [23:45] i can skip parts like the 2313 steps they give to create a new partition [23:45] that sortof stuff [23:45] kidrock: glx is enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf right? [23:45] =) [23:46] oxiii: so you need to load the glx module then in your xorg.conf [23:46] hh [23:46] thanks raylu [23:46] oxiii: sorry I meant you instead of kidrock, read up [23:47] yes, it is enabled [23:47] thank you both, by the way [23:47] i'm getting this on /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [23:47] (II) LoadModule: "glx" [23:47] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx [23:47] (II) UnloadModule: "glx" [23:47] (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) [23:47] oxiii: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:48] nvidia geforce 7600gs [23:48] zsquareplusc, it describes how to do it in combination with a liveCD [23:48] ardchoille: ah damn, well thanks anyway! [23:48] ikonia: Will that install all KDE applications? Or just what is needed? [23:48] thats kindof stupid as CD boots so slow [23:49] oxiii: and you have installed and enabled propertiery drivers (excuse spelling) [23:49] AltinT: hang on, checking one more thing [23:49] I know you have those mp3s, Jack_Sparrow, ya pirate. [23:49] :D [23:49] raylu, lfaraone: zgrep and zless, when they are available, do not solve the problem of chronological order and the current log files are not compressed [23:49] Tetracomm: that will install the kde desktop setup from kubuntu [23:49] does anyone know unreal tournament normally ships with linux binaries or will i need ot find a linux copy? [23:49] yes, but I really want MESA instead that. Its because I want to make a test for performance [23:49] santor: it's normally on the cd [23:49] phix [23:49] Ward1983: it describes it as moving the live cd to a usb stick. thats basically the same as your usb hard drive. do you have a separate 1GB partition left? [23:49] how do i figure out what package installed a file? [23:49] zsquareplusc, do you happen to know anything about this: "By using reconstructor a CD can be remastered and an additional menu item (Persistent Mode) added on boot." [23:50] santor: depends which unreal tournament but yes there is on the cd unless you have the anthology [23:50] oxiii: hmmmm, mesa? as in 3dfx? [23:50] oxiii: or software opengl? [23:50] Ward1983: nope [23:50] Samus_Aran: hrm. you could try removing the cronjobs [23:50] kitche: wtf, the athology is the only thing that is sold anywhere anymore! [23:50] zsquareplusc, no but i can just make the 100GB i preserved unalliocated again, and then add one small for the CD and one large for the casper file [23:50] raylu, lfaraone: feel free to give me a simple command to view all my mail logs, in order, in less. all I see is a royal PITA which only has the "benefit" of saving a few MB of space on a server with numerous GB of free space [23:50] phix i dont know? I guess software ogl? [23:50] santor: try to mind the language please [23:50] /whoami [23:50] raylu: I have done that now, but we were discussing the viewing of log files on a logrotate system [23:50] oxiii: that is a bad idea [23:50] zsquareplusc, ah damn, thats not covered allthough its possible apprantly [23:50] Samus_Aran: well, they should be in chronological order... [23:50] santor: duh, it helps if I turn off my firewall on port 22. palm->face [23:50] santor: thanks for all your help [23:50] Samus_Aran: but you claim they're not [23:50] ikonia: on sorry, i forgot what irc channel i was in, cna do [23:51] phix I want to try the performance of same demos over mesa [23:51] Samus_Aran: if they were, zless * would probably do the trick [23:51] magikid_: i take it it all works now? [23:51] some [23:51] santor: appriciated [23:51] magikid_: i should have suggested that first [23:51] raylu: why would they be in chronological order ? they create files 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 10, 11, 100, 101, etc. [23:51] santor: yeah [23:51] Is there anyway I can send someone my dmesg so that they can decipher whether or not my Pinnacle TV Tuner is working? [23:51] Samus_Aran: ...in chronological order [23:51] phix I need to test if the library Im testing is working with mesa [23:51] /bye [23:51] santor: since UFW doesn't have a gui I always forget when I leave it running [23:51] jepht: dmseg won't confirm that [23:51] oxiii: you have a video card with 3D acceleration, using software opengl / mesa is like owning a car but pushing it around instead of driving it [23:51] raylu: which shows up as 1 10 100 11 12. .. etc. [23:52] yes, that i do know... phix [23:52] AltinT: open gconf-editor [23:52] ikonia; any idea how I can? [23:52] jepht: but "sudo dmesg | tail" right after you plug it in may help [23:52] zsquareplusc, i started out trying to use system -> administration -> create usb startup disk btw, but that didnt work, it didnt see my harddisk [23:52] oxiii: ok, well how is this ubuntu relavent? [23:52] raylu: they are in unglobbable order. [23:52] Samus_Aran: they have timestamps... [23:52] jepht: use some tv software === flaco is now known as flacom [23:52] well im on ubuntu... === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [23:52] ardchoille: just write gconf-editor in alt+f2 right? [23:53] jepht: dmesg should write something if your card is detected. if you are interested in the tuner part only, that's a different story [23:53] i might not have set up something correctly [23:53] raylu: so now you expect me to pick out files based on timestamps, extract the ones that need extracting, then concatenate all these hundreds of files together and pipe through less ? [23:53] AltinT: yes [23:53] AltinT: then go to /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options [23:53] oxiii: and you are asking a generic question, that actually relates more to another channel :) [23:53] raylu: this is useful how ? [23:53] AltinT: see initiate_key [23:53] Samus_Aran: ...what? [23:53] raylu: what what ? [23:53] Samus_Aran: first of all, we dealt with the extracting problem === blah is now known as outboard [23:54] raylu: I said logrotate breaks chronological order, which it does [23:54] Samus_Aran: and have you tried zless * ? [23:54] Samus_Aran: and i say it doesn't :P [23:54] Samus_Aran: which...it doesn't. this is headed nowhere quickly [23:54] ardchoille: yea, how do I chane it to F9? typing it won't work ... [23:54] raylu: you don't listen. zless * would read individual files. I don't want to use :n 100 times [23:54] raylu: and that would be OUT OF ORDER. 10 comes before 2 [23:54] sup my friends? [23:54] Samus_Aran: that's why you find the relevant files first :D [23:54] hello! [23:54] AltinT: hmm.. dunno, never done that [23:54] Samus_Aran: zgrep then ? [23:54] raylu: and that wouldn't work for the the current log that is not compressed [23:54] ok, I asked the same question on #xorg and #opengl and no one replied, and im on an ubuntu box. I've googled for hours, what else can I do? [23:54] Samus_Aran: i was just trying to give you all the files. i would never use zless * myself [23:55] <_chris___> raylu im really having a difficult time with this [23:55] AltinT: is that one of those things that doesn't take effect until logout/login ? [23:55] i am having a problem that google isnt helping that quick... every now and again when i look up at my gnome-panel, it is displaying the wrong time [23:55] Samus_Aran: umm considering that it doesn't since the newest number is newer really it's a well known fact that the older the number older the log [23:55] you guys are all idiots. I want to browse my log files within less. the entire log file history. I know how to use reg ex's in less to find my content, and I want to be able to go up or down from it in history [23:55] i'm on a live cd so that i can access another local hard drive/partition that i didn't have permissions to access, but i still don't have permission! i messed up the partitioner somehow so now i can't access files on the partition!

If one puts the live cd contents of Tribe-5 on the first partition of a USB key and the casper-rw labelled partition in the remaining space, it works fine." [23:56] Samus_Aran: zless works for uncompressed files too :D [23:56] nice :) [23:56] Samus_Aran: umm isn't that what I just said? [23:56] AltinT: not everything works immediately, some things require logout/login [23:56] eseven73, i am actually getting paid as i sit here [23:56] :) [23:56] oxiii: umm why are you trying to do this in the first place? just benchmarking? or something else? [23:56] _chris___: i can't help you with more info than that [23:56] elgreco: must be nice, hook me up :) [23:56] <_chris___> raylu i did a mkdir /mnt/hdh1 [23:57] ardchoille: i see, well i'm having problems changing it, as it won't accept the F9 button :p [23:57] <_chris___> and then mount /dev/hdh1 /mnt/hdh1 [23:57] eseven73, if you arent an idiot, and live in the denver area, we might be hiring soon === magikid_ is now known as magikid [23:57] using a lot of ubuntu here [23:57] lol [23:57] nice [23:57] i am having a problem that google isnt helping that quick... every now and again when i look up at my gnome-panel, it is displaying the wrong time [23:57] anyone able to help me with my permissions issue? [23:57] persona_khanu: if its a linux filesyetem, permissions still apply. maybe you need gksu nautlius [23:57] AltinT: ah, I see. I don't know how to specify f9 textually :( [23:57] time for a reboot :0 [23:57] <_chris___> raylu how do i go back to the previous version of ubuntu? === maarten_ is now known as Zalastra [23:57] :) i meant [23:57] elgreco: too bad im like 1500 miles from ya. [23:57] how about "space +w" [23:57] _chris___: install it. but again, you haven't provided me with much about how you mounted and what the errors are [23:57] persona_khanu: I know permissions [23:57] eseven73, then find your own sweet ass job :-p [23:58] ardchoille: how about "space + w" any idea? :p [23:58] phix im triying to test a game engine, that I need to fix to run on 64bit. It will draw graphics the wrong way with hardware acceleration, and I want to know how it behaves using mesa [23:58] zsquareplusc: they are, i can't connect to the partition with the correct ubuntu install so now i'm on a live disc trying to get at the files because i can see them but have no permissions [23:58] AltinT: I think you need some kind of ctrl or alt or super or something, but you can try it [23:58] so, no one on the time issue? [23:58] oxiii: ok, well I assume the same since mesa is doing the same thing only in software instead of hardware [23:58] <_chris___> raylu when i try to mount it does this: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied. [23:58] persona_khanu: did you use sudo/ gksu? to make the access as root? [23:58] AltinT: you using all of your alt+f1-12 ? [23:59] _chris___: show me the mount command =\ [23:59] mount [23:59] man mount [23:59] ardchoille: don't think so no, but i can't seem to change it to anything now :/ [23:59] zsquareplusc: i didn't, is that just the command? 'sudo gksu'? [23:59] phix I'm not the author and i really haven't looked into the code yet, but I'm trying to see if it will drop to SDL or keep using ogl instead [23:59] .... [23:59] <_chris___> im using the gui [23:59] <_chris___> raylu im using the gui [23:59] persona_khanu: no. how do you work. console or nautlius? [23:59] _chris___: um, i thought we decided to not use that an hour ago [23:59] oxiii: hmmm [23:59] <_chris___> raylu, i dont remember [23:59] oxiii: well I wish I could be more help to you [23:59] phix: i have 2 hd's with 3 partitions and 3 ubuntu installs (don't ask), one of the partitions was loaded by the first install and has backup files, it doesn't load that up anymore so i don't have proper permissions when i connect from other installs/live cd [23:59] anyone know how to get ubuntu on an old powerpc?
