[01:22] ?? [01:22] phix so ur trying to say that there is no such thing [01:22] RukusX: give it a go, or better yet install the grub-doc package and have a read [01:22] or just leave it where it is, commented and all and the grub loader will handle it?

[01:51] Formode, what are you talking about? please dont post my output there? [01:51] killer--tux: pretty sure that requires software on the dvd to automatically launch when it's inserted. you'd have to write the software yourself and even then linux won't let it launch itself (but windows will) [01:51] does VUZE has a chat room? anyone ? [01:52] fatou: I dunno, why don't you google it or something? [01:52] aeolien: just add the new user to the proper group [01:52] where in the file system does ubuntu mount stuff it finds on a windows network?

[01:52] Anyone use FakeRaid to share a raid 0 setup with windows?

[01:52] Formode, how will I get in trouble if I post the output to the pastebin? [01:53] leave Asta Luego [01:53] mrcollins, You won't get in trouble if it's on pastebin. If you paste it directly to IRC people won't be hapy though. [01:53] !Pastebin | Mrcollins [01:53] killer--tux: ok, so you have to find out how to write some menu software and have it launch when the dvd is inserted. [01:53] Formode, I never said I would post it in here. read above what I wrote Formode [01:54] Formode: MrCollins never said he was going to paste it here [01:54] i have no programing skills bro [01:54] mrcollins, Oh. My. God. I fail at reading today. I'm so sorry. :( [01:54] Formode, it is ok.

Do you have pygame installed? [01:57] Formode, I do not know [01:57] robm06: or, if you want to have fun, install a virus or something [01:57] weasel8: dvd drive going bad? === montana is now known as brigestone [01:57] how does one install firefox 3 in hardy? [01:57] weasel8: its not random, I can't remember the law/theory but its along the lines of it does (or does not) do what you want it to until you try to show someone [01:57] evilGUI: shouldn't be [01:57] rustybin: sudo apt-get install firefox-3 [01:57] mrcollins, sudo apt-get install python-pygame :) [01:57] Thanks all [01:58] gaintsura, i'll try that, thanks [01:58] When I boot up with ubuntu to read my windows drive sometime it refuses to mount saying that the disk was not properly shut down. Any reason why ? [01:58] rustybin: np, if its not firefox-3 its firefox-3.0 [01:58] rustybin: shouldn't that just be "firefox"?

I ended up getting impatient and cancelling it. However by the looks of it, it was very close to finishing (trying to do anything with the resulting files comes up with errors to do with stale nfs or something). Is there a way to make dd only [02:26] i'm running 3.0 [02:27] nibsa1242b: that's why, when running gentoo and/or compiling kernels, you let it run and do something else [02:27] koshar1, i want to create a vesion of Fedora 10 on my flash drive, not Ubuntu. and the only OS i have is Ubuntu [02:27] i'd never have the patience for Gentoo [02:27] hi guys, I forgot a package/protocol, which allows hardware access thorugh network. could anybody remind me its name?

I know vista has the functionality also [02:29] nibsa1242b: hmm, ok then. all I know how to use dd is "dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1k", what do I do to start say three quarters into sda6? [02:29] raylu: onetinsoldier Alright onetin, if you are a masochist... maybe you can help me. I'm connecting a printer over a serial port by way of a usb-->serial port adapter.

[02:33] serial port printer? EGADS.... [02:33] Ubuntu did auto-detect my larallep port Laserjet6l and set it up [02:33] USB is serial [02:33] it didn't work [02:33] is symlinking folder A to backup folder B a decent or ok way to back things up? I know it doesn't compress or anything, but i figured its a "set-and-forget' way of backing things up... [02:33] nibsa1242b: roger that. yeah parallel port is dead. can't even buy a computer with one anymore it seems like. [02:33] koshar1, ok, i will give it a try. installing virtualbox [02:34] callins usb 'serial' is like calling... a ModelT a 'race car' :) [02:34] onetinsoldier: no, and serial ports have been long gone... but motherboards often have headers for them [02:34] eseven73: .......... [02:34] but it is serial .. usb is serial [02:34] eseven73: symlinking doesn't copy the data at all [02:35] raylu: when i look in folder B it shows all the files [02:35] dr_willis: usb: universal Serial bus [02:35] eseven73: right...it's a symlink. the files are still stored in one place [02:35] vaxius, but ie said a serial port.. not usb.. so now everyone is confuse as to what he really has... [02:35] nibsa1242b: yeah, i think the computer i'm using right which i just built about 6 weeks ago has header for a serial port.. but no port [02:35] where's a good place to put details on how to install flash-10 in 64-bit? [02:35] ah gotcha raylu ok thanks :) [02:35] eseven73: that's why you can instantly symlink 1TB of data [02:35] dr_willis: mkay [02:35] this was a pain in the ass and i'd like to let others know [02:35] aluink: just install teh flashplugin-nonfree package....

[02:36] aluink: what version of ubuntu?

[02:37] Okay [02:37] Back now [02:37] the problem is that it gets a 404 on the tar.gz download, but marks the package as successfully installed, so you never know until you try to watch that fav youtube vid of yours ;) [02:37] doing a upgrade is never a good idea it's faster to backup your home directory and do a fresh install [02:37] &#$@! [02:37] aluink: yeah that happens when adobe moves around the tar.gz. However, I don't think that's the case atm [02:37] jrib: how can i know what version of ubuntu i'm working? [02:37] It's 784.3MB [02:37] raylu: never tried it, I just usually use Rsync and Unison to back everything up [02:38] aluink: lsb_release -a [02:38] !version | aluink [02:38] aluink: 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 » [02:38] Arghhhhhhh!!!!

When I go to reboot it says, missing operating system followed by some jargon characters [02:39] Panarchy: apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean. remove logs in /var/log (some files must be there, but they can be empty) [02:39] I install ubuntu and same message pops up, so boot sector is knackered, wat can I do?

Then run 'sudo apt-get update' [02:42] Panarchy: you don't send me the complete output... do you?

By the way, I recommend stayin away from Cinelerra - it's one of those "WTF" interfaces. [02:55] my hard drive seems to be ntfs [02:55] onetinsoldier: do any of these work with evolution? I am looking for something will will display an icon in the tray and change icon when there are messages and if I click the icon it brings up evolution.... i don't know why this is not a built in feature of Evolution like it is with kmail [02:55] hellhound: geximon is another... and you might check out gdesklets, although i don't know if gdesklets has one or not [02:55] so none of the mythical performance decrease with more ram then [02:55] hellhound: ahh, i see. now that i don'tknow [02:55] Yoyoto: can't partition: errors?

[02:57] Yoyoto: you need to resize the partition if it's filling the drive before you can create a new one [02:57] i think so [02:57] Panarchy: are they downloaded files, or do you mean with apt-cache search or something? [02:57] Panarchy: please stop repeating! [02:57] tritium, I trust you but I know for sure 1 box is like 3 months older than the other and its files are older.

[03:59] eseven73 hmmmm, i'll look into it [03:59] spanther: follow link in previous post [04:00] onetinsoldier: heh, i didn't get anything out of it [04:00] !patience dowN70 [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about patience dowN70 [04:00] !patience | dowN70 [04:00] dowN70: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:00] dowN70: use the command gnome-power-cmd.sh shutdown and set it to run at x hour during the day [04:00] faj: I'm looking at the preferences right now and don't see it. There is an option 'maximized windows don't cover the bar', but that doesn't help with gnome-panel because I guess it's not a window. [04:00] djet13: Are you booting off the cd? [04:00] raylu: haha... me neither! [04:00] telaviv: in short the 4 gigs of ram are just temporary storage, where as the harddrive memory is long term [04:00] kk g2g [04:00] djet13:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [04:01] aeosynth: hmmm,, i could have swore there is one in there somewhere! sorry i don't personally use it... [04:01] FAJ: Either answer the question that dowN70 is asking or dont say anything at all. Spamming !commands are about as useless as this sentence. [04:01] vaxius: copying with sudo mc (midnight commander) showed "Input/output error (5)" too well lets check your page [04:01] hosstell: i would debate you on that,,, but not the right place to do so. [04:01] cidesign: Yeah i've seen that before and was intending to use that. But I have not even been able to reach step 6, as I cannot get past that error. [04:01] FAJ: OMG, I am just stoked you actually wrote me a sentence. [04:01] faj: well, do you know anything about how to change the gnome-panel options? [04:02] !why? | hosstell [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about why? [04:02] ;) [04:02] >.< [04:02] :P [04:02] lol [04:02] -.- [04:02] -_- [04:02] eseven73 but still how can a program have acess to 7 gigs of information when the numbers representing their pointers can only describe 4 gigs worth of addresses [04:02] djet13: have you installed rEfit [04:02] aeosynth: you could set your gnome-bar to auto-hide longer so that it doesn't unhide when you accidentally unclick it [04:02] cidesign: yes [04:02] telaviv: what is a memory leak? [04:02] vaxius: i didnt install libdvdread3 so far :-) maybe thats it? [04:02] um,,, i've been booted for less, lol [04:03] djet13: if so then put the cd in and boot up normally. You should them be presented with 2 options one for osx and one for cd [04:03] raylu: when memory is taken from the heap without ever being returned [04:03] Hi all, how do i check/change the power status of ->SATA<- harddisks? Thanks [04:03] djet13: Using arrow keys click on cd and go for it., [04:04] I am looking for a way to print multiple pictures on a single photo sheet of paper. Anyone know how to do this? [04:04] faj: I don't want it to autohide; i want the gnome-panel and awn dock visible simultaneously [04:04] Ive tried hdparm and it wont work properly for the sata disks, and sdparm doesnt work full stop [04:04] cidesign: lol I know that. what i'm saying is once i do that, i get this error message in ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=14628&d=1156128825 [04:04] Gruelius: install hdparm ...then hdparm -C /dev/xxx [04:04] telaviv: hmmm im not sure im understanding your question, which one of your apps actually takes up that much ram? O.o [04:04] onetinsoldier: Gives "STANDBY" for the disks even when im writing and reading to/off them [04:05] Gruelius: oh..i see. well, i use hdparm to put my other drive in standby and check it's status. and yes, it's a sata drive [04:05] only for the sata disks. I cant get sdparm to work properly does anyone know common problems with it [04:05] djet13: What cd are you using. eg powerpc, alternative, i38g? [04:05] Gruelius: weird [04:05] aeosynth: umm you could try moving AWN up... [04:05] djet13: i386 [04:05] djet13: sorry i386 [04:05] cidesign: i386. Ubuntu 8.10 [04:05] ubuntu 8.1 [04:05] Sound only works sometimes when I boot. I think there's some nondeterminism in the boot process wrt the order that modules are loaded, but I'm not sure. I believe I isolated the relevant pieces of my dmesg output. Comments? http://paste.ubuntu.com/85958/ [04:06] aeosynth: but i don't know if you can move gnome-panel down... because it is already at the bottom... [04:06] djet13: did you burn as an iso ? [04:06] telaviv: um... [04:06] I have an issue. When I boot laptop with external monitor plugged in, display manager won't load. When I bootup, wait for display manager, then configure gnome for external monitor there's no problem... anyone know why this happens? [04:06] telaviv: it wasn't a question [04:06] cidesign: yes [04:06] eseven73: lol! no app would take that much. I'm asking in theory. When you program in asm the addresses will only ever be 32 bits. In this sense to have access to more than 4 gigs of information seems impossible, because their simply aren't that many addresses [04:06] aeosynth: you could try making the number of pixels that the gnome-panel is smaller... [04:06] hosstell, without software to replicate it for you, my best guess would be to copy/paste the images to a OO and resize as needed, then once you have them verify in gimp... [04:06] spanther: that would do it === montana is now known as montana_ [04:06] cidesign: i then verified using diskutility and am now checksumming it [04:06] is there a way to list how much bandwidth up/down is being consumed per connection? [04:06] faj: nevermind, we're not on the same page [04:07] aeosynth: o ok im sorry. [04:07] raylu: nope its conceptual, just wondering [04:07] Anacranom: What is an 00? [04:07] gaintsura: system>administration>networking. [04:07] anyone help me get all my SWAT tabs back? right now i can only see home status view and password [04:07] Open Office hosstell [04:07] uhh, yah no clue telaviv you lost me a long time ago sorry :) [04:07] gaintsura: my bad; ./Network Tools, not networking. [04:08] djet13: desktop. server, alternative? [04:08] eseven73, have you ever programmed in c? [04:08] vaxius: do i have to reboot after regionset ? [04:08] wriggary: log in.. [04:08] cidesign: desktop [04:08] no telaviv, im not a programmer [04:08] gaintsura: for like an entire network? [04:08] spanther: i don't believe so [04:08] Anacranom: I was hoping to avoid this. You have to understand I need the easiest method for my wife. This seems like a tedious chore for every batch job. [04:08] djet13: how old is the laptop? [04:08] gaintsura: or just on your own machine? [04:08] oic eseven73, well thanks anyway! [04:08] cidesign: i think about 2 years [04:09] djet13: should work fine. [04:09] vaxius: nice i've set the region settings now and i can play it :D [04:09] cidesign: yeah i have no clue what the problem is... i've reburned the disk twice. verified it [04:09] djet13: try downloading the alternative-i386 and run that [04:09] gaintsura: i see that FAJ answered you. i also recommend installing and using --> iptraf [04:09] spanther: enjoy [04:10] djet13: I always us alternative when I do it. [04:10] cidesign: okay. should i try 64-bit? my cpu supports it. [04:10] vaxius: my region setting was at "RPC Phase: II type: NONE Vendor resets available: 4 user controlled changes resets available: 5 drive plays discs from region(s):, mask=0xFF [04:10] hosstell, i do understand that,,, i just wish the hardware mfg's did so they would release their source code, for their "extra " software" or make a linux native software for it [04:10] vaxius: what is mask=0xFF for a region? my region 2 is mask=0xFFFFFFFD [04:11] there prolly is an open source app out ther for that,, but gotta search/find it [04:11] cidesign: quick questiong. where do i find the md5 for the download? i just calculated it for the one i d/led but i'm not sure where to find the one for ubuntu. [04:11] Anyone can help me with Raq4 Cobalt server? [04:12] Anacronom: Do you know of any software like VirtualBox, that actually supports USB devices? [04:12] vaxius: and my last question is. is this region setting now saved inside my disc drive or where is it stored? and is it stored forever? [04:12] willyyxx: asking your question detailed is better than just asking that [04:12] was there a deb ever made for flash 64? [04:12] (note hosstell no !anyone ;) ) [04:13] does anyone know how to put update manager in menu i do not have it i did a lean install with the alternative disk and it is not there i have to update through terminal [04:13] djet13: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [04:13] beilabs: not that i know. have you downloaded the tarball of it before? [04:13] hosstell almost missed your post,,, mis-spell nick, just type ana and hit tab till my nick comes up... [04:13] I just got a new (old :) ) Coblat Raq4 server, and I am looking to install an OS on it but I dont know the procedure... Because is it done by Netinstall... Can someone help me with that? [04:13] so quick question, i just got ubuntu 8.10 runnning on my usb, (persistant install), will running updates break its ability to boot from usb? [04:13] genii: ty [04:13] here are my ttySs looks like.. http://pastebin.com/d49635b66 .. any idea how I can console access the server from client [04:14] ? [04:14] hosstell and no, i have not used VB,, sorry [04:14] djet13: You're welcome [04:14] client is hp laptop and server is ibm netvista .. both are ubuntu [04:14] onetinsoldier, yeah, just did -> libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so prolly out of date though. [04:14] beilabs: no.. not out of date [04:15] beilabs: that's what you want [04:15] onetinsoldier, cool.....huge difference on my cpu.. [04:15] genii: lol d084b88e9ba2660f4429b4115ae4718b definately does not equal 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03 [04:15] beilabs: cool [04:15] onetinsoldier, just thought someone would have packaged it as a deb [04:15] beilabs: yeah, i don't know why it hasn't been done yet [04:16] djet13: Looks like a corrupt d/l then. Should try torrent d/l since it has built in error checking [04:16] genii: will do [04:16] onetinsoldier, everyone is expecting the next guy to to it ;) [04:17] FAJ : You know something about Raq4 Cobalt servers? [04:17] linuxman410, after a clean install u don't have it on ur menu? [04:17] does anyone here use sourcenavigator? [04:17] the lean install has advantages it only takes my computer 1 min 2 seconds to boot to desktop [04:18] beilabs: well, flash for linux 64-bit userspace is very new yet. adobe just released that thing like a month ago.. so probably no package maintainer yet. [04:18] linuxman410, what's ur problrm so? [04:19] onetinsoldier: I'm back and my Ubuntu is still broken [04:19] still around? [04:19] my problem is i am trying to figure out how to put update manager in menu so i do not have to do it through terminal [04:19] Does anyone know anything about RaQ4 cobalt servers? [04:20] Brack101: dang... well, i can try. if raylu is here perhaps he can get you fixed up [04:20] can anyone tell me where i can get info on beryl? [04:21] !beryl [04:21] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [04:21] Daps, beryl is outdated you compiz [04:21] linuxman410, see if u have it installed first.. should be at System>Administration>Update manager [04:21] onetinsoldier: sweet, when we left off you had me delete /home/myuser/.sbin I believe [04:21] usser: what is the new thing? [04:21] Brack101: it was the .dbus dir [04:21] right [04:21] it didn't work [04:21] :) [04:21] dang [04:21] it is not there i want it to be there but can not figure out how [04:22] I inherited a server running lighttpd on dapper... I updated/upgraded via apt-get... but lighttpd is still 1.4.11, whilre the newest one available from the source is 1.4.20. is it safe to run such an old version? [04:22] Brack101: anything about it in less /var/log/messages ??? [04:22] linuxman410, ok just right click to Applications an choose Edit menu [04:22] genii: okay for some reason the last torrent dl wasn't complete even though it showed up as being complete.... thanks for the help! [04:22] exit(), by all :D [04:22] since lighttpd is universe, is it possible there could be security issues? [04:22] what replaced beryl? i'm trying to get the cube desktop... anyone? [04:23] Brack101: also look at /var/log/kern.log [04:23] compiz-fusion Daps [04:23] eseven73: thanks [04:23] !ccms | Daps [04:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about ccms [04:23] !ccms [04:23] raylu: where are you? need your help... [04:23] oh good grief [04:24] !ccsm [04:24] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [04:24] oh also my ntfs volume isn't working [04:24] linuxman410, on the left part choose Administration and see if its on the list [04:24] there we go :) [04:24] to add to the symptoms [04:24] ok now what [04:24] !ccms ?? eseven73 what is that? [04:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:24] it is not on list [04:24] Daps it will allow you to set up compiz [04:24] Brack101: roger. well one thing at a time. we need to get that dbus error thing fixed first [04:25] okey dok [04:25] Daps im not a compiz user so I probably couldn't help you much, but you could try joining #Compiz-fusion [04:25] linuxman410, so choose new element and put as type Application [04:25] Brack101: post the error in pastebin [04:25] vaxius: are you still there? [04:25] thanks so much eseven73 [04:25] np [04:26] onetinsoldier: you mean in kern.log? [04:26] linuxman410, NAme: Update manager and command: /usr/bin/update-manager [04:26] Brack101: wherever you can copy and paste that dbus error from, put it on a pastebin [04:26] oh [04:26] ok [04:26] linuxman410, commentary box its not necessary [04:27] Hi all. I just installed moblock and set it to startup by default (sessions). But when I reboot, i get the following error: "Required configuration file "/var/log/moblock.log" could not be found in the default path. [04:27] Please specify a different path" Moblock and it's GUI will work, but it is not running. Any suggestions? [04:27] Brack101: i will be afk for a few minutes... [04:27] russ5811: sudo touch /var/log/moblock.log [04:28] thanks raylu [04:28] russ5811: that will create the file if it doesn't exist, which may fixt the problem [04:28] onetinsoldier: when I run pidgin as sudo and double click a name on my buddy list...note IRC works fine http://pastebin.com/m148a3e7 [04:28] i di that and when u try to open it gets an error [04:28] does this line sound fine for hdparm.conf [04:28] Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/update-manager" (No such file or directory) [04:28] /dev/sd* { [04:28] spindown_time = 0 [04:28] } [04:28] raylu: could you take a look at a dbus error message that Brack101 gets? [04:28] Gruelius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:28] Brack101: i will be afk for a few minutes... brb [04:28] Brack101: why are you running pidgin as root...? [04:28] if anyone is still interested in how 32-bit systems can have more than 4 gigs of address space, is because pentiums actually are 36-bits! look up PAE [04:29] is there a good repo that has more recent stuff than the stock standard intrepid repo? [04:29] raylu: it does it on my user too, but I'm running as sudo because I can't get the error when I just run pidgin for some reason [04:29] linuxman410, What kind of installation did u do? What version? [04:29] Brack101: what happens when you run "dbus-launch"? [04:30] raylu: this is just a symptom of a catastrophic failure I had after trying to install ggl-gtk....X doesn't start automatically, sound doesn't work, NTFS volumes won't mount, programs keep crashing [04:30] how can i irc over telnet? [04:30] 8.10 it was a lean install as discribed in a article on front page of distro watch [04:30] revive: by telnet, do you mean ssh? [04:30] revive: use ssh instead and use irssi for the irc client [04:30] is there a way to increase the verbosity of dmesg? i am wishing to see some log whn plug in a nullmodem to it [04:30] yes [04:31] telnet is evil [04:31] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m6d3c5aa0 [04:31] well okay goodnight everyone [04:31] telnet is mean? [04:31] it is not secure [04:31] !ssh [04:32] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [04:32] linuxman410, put in console "whereis update-manager" [04:32] ssh is secure? [04:32] yes [04:32] linuxman410, it will show where its actually the update manager [04:32] Brack101: how did you install ggl-gtk? [04:33] raylu: it's called google-gadgets.. i also installed it after he went to bed last night.. np here, but... [04:33] raylu: I installed the deb package from getdeb and the Ubuntu idiot GUI [04:33] Brack101: er, where did you download it? [04:33] then uninstalled with a command that onetinsoldier gave me [04:34] what is the command to run visual(interactive) apps as sudo? [04:34] ignore +ChanServ [04:34] having trouble finding it [04:34] My E-book says ubuntu has device manager? Do I need to install this, beccause I can't find it. [04:34] tyler_d: gksudo [04:34] tyler_d: gksu [04:34] can't remember what I searched for [04:34] TY [04:35] raylu: it may depend on what gadet he might have installed with the program. when you install the gadgets, it warns you with some of them about possible security risks and the permissions that they need. many have been tested and give no such warning, many have apparently not been [04:35] raylu: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets [04:35] tyler_d: ignore me, when raylu said [04:35] tyler_d: *what [04:35] vaxius: gksudo is a symlink to gksu; both are ok :D [04:35] raylu: mkay [04:36] Brack101: you downloaded the intrepid 32-bit? [04:36] raylu: correct [04:36] Hi folks, [04:36] onetinsoldier: Good point, I guess I underestimated the risk [04:36] anyone paste been me the file /etc/init.d/hdparm?? its missing in newer version ubuntu [04:37] pastebin* :P [04:37] raylu, thanks for the help earlier. new problem now with moblock: it is listed as "MoBlock is not running" when i click the start button in the GUI, I get the following messages: Error 7: missing file /etc/moblock/guarding.p2p. Check the blocklist setting. BLOCKLIST is set in /etc/moblock/moblock.conf I'm new at this so can anyone tell what this means? [04:37] ha* [04:37] russ5811 use iplists [04:37] Brack101: roger.. i understand. i have taken plenty of risks in my day. but i always understand the implications. at any moment i am prepared to reinstall if needed. but it does suck to have to [04:37] http://sourceforge.net/projects/iplist [04:38] how sherlock, what do you mean? [04:38] onetinsoldier: I have the windows mentality, "it's just a little widget program" [04:38] Brack101: lol [04:38] ok. thanks [04:38] not realizing how incredibly complex and integrated into the OS it must be [04:38] iplist does the same as moblock, just better IMHO [04:39] give it a shot. thanks again [04:39] it was awesome when it worked [04:39] they have debs at sourceforge too [04:39] even used wobbly windows [04:39] russ5811: it means what it says. in /etc/moblock/moblock.conf you have BLOCKLIST set to /etc/moblock/guarding.p2p, which doesn't exist [04:39] Brack101: yeah.. it's working here and fairly cool [04:40] Brack101: wobbly windows got annoying for me after the novelty wore off [04:40] Brack101: although i haven't tried the wobbly windows [04:40] Failed to execute child process "/etc/update-manager" (Permission denied) this is error now i tried what you said [04:40] Brack101: nothing in the deb looks particularly harmful, though the getdeb website doesn't look too...legit. [04:40] raylu, any idea how i can change that? [04:40] russ5811: just open it up in a text editor [04:40] vaxius: I'm still at the novelty stage...plus when I disable it my windows lag while dragging [04:40] raylu: ok point taken [04:41] raylu: the .deb, just allows you to install all kinds of other stuff(gadgets) [04:41] raylu: in retrospect, the blog post wasn't too entirely legit either [04:41] so anyway [04:42] I need to fix this... [04:42] how can I get X to start up at least [04:42] Brack101: i was thinking that too. how did you start X? [04:42] raylu: startx after logging in [04:42] is there a good repo that has more recent apps than the stock standard intrepid repo? [04:43] e.g. vuze, blender... [04:43] raylu: i had him check /etc/rc3.d.. the symlink for gdm is in there [04:43] hi all ! [04:43] any one can help me to fix my trouble [04:44] !ask [04:44] 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. :-) [04:44] i try to build my ltsp client from cd-rom and get this error W: Failure trying to run: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 mount -t proc proc /proc [04:44] pengo: I just use the standard, canonical, and medibuntu repos.

But the proc needs a / [04:46] !chroot [04:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [04:46] :/ [04:46] whats the terminal command to mount a folder?

[04:48] u couldnt just tell me the command [04:48] how can I automount a drive (sshfs) when a resource is requesting it? [04:48] Dolo: mount [04:48] Anacranom do you know about ltsp ??

[04:50] pr0cess0r, no, but when i get a permissions error, and its from a cd,,,,,,? [04:50] NoelJB, closer but not quite exactly wanting to mount it on login, just on request of the resource [04:51] Anacranom: That dir should be in ram and not physically on the cd [04:51] corey: you don't want autofs and sshfs? [04:51] I also have 3G mobile internet and I wouldn't want it to mount on that if I'm not using it [04:51] lla [04:51] Brack101: guess i'll need to see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then [04:51] what value do I put for device? [04:51] How can I retrieve contact information from my phone with bluetooth? I have a bluetooth hub and I have performed a obex file transfer, I just need to know what program I can use to get the PIM data.

[04:52] Brack101: poking around in /var/log/user.log may help too; gconf outputs there, apparently [04:52] droopsta915: Install xCHM.

"Users $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored this prevents the default session and language from being saved. file should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. users home directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users" what does this mean and how do i make it not come up? [04:53] i had a dvd image in iso form i extracted the dvd files to a folder [04:53] i wanted to moun that folder to run the dvd from it [04:53] so quick question, i just got ubuntu 8.10 runnning on my usb, (persistant install), will running updates break its ability to boot from usb? i used to use a modified install from pendrivelinux and when i updated it broke the ability to boot, kinda hoping not to have to reinstall.

[04:54] threatix: You need to chmod it, probably. [04:54] threatrix, chmod 644 .dmrc [04:54] threatrix: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername ~/.dmrc ; sudo chmod 644 ~/.dmrc [04:54] i said mount the folder not the files [04:54] hey...anyone know why when I boot to commandline, my keyboard seems to be remapped for a few key characters (like / and |) ? can someone recommend a term to google for or something so I have a place to start?

[05:00] Brack101: oh...logout of gnome; x should close. sudo gdm [05:00] ok [05:00] Amarok [05:00] The issue is with the Pulse Audio and it keeps looking to my on-board sound card even though i've disabled it in the BIOS, when i use the on-board sound it seems to Chirp away [05:00] !players [05:00] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[05:01] but on a serious note... FOr some reason... i've installed compiz no problem on this machine several times.... though this time around when i did install it the advanced desktop settings was in my menu. then i restarted my computer and it hasnt been there since [05:02] ohhh,,,, i missed the live cd part, sorry genii [05:02] Anacranom: Since he seems to have left anyhow, much is moot now :) [05:02] Arrowhead212002: Um, but compiz is in fact installed right? [05:03] raylu: ok I'm in sudo and everything works fine [05:03] well, still feel free to visit... ty genii [05:03] tiyowan, compiz is installed by default in 8.04 [05:03] also sudo gdm didn't work so I had to sudo startx [05:03] Brack101: what did sudo gdm do? [05:03] raylu: it said command not found [05:04] Vantrax: I'm aware of that. Check out Arrowhead212002's problem. [05:04] yeah it is installed along with all its libraries and little extras [05:04] Brack101: "which gdm" [05:04] tiyowan: i read it. i don't know really. bonobo has some small bug probably. or perhaps it was just that i was trying to do something where i needed 'sudo' [05:04] how can i find a voiced user [05:04] Brack101: (run it as a command) [05:04] ive tried completely removing and installing it and that still yelided no results [05:05] raylu: I'm glad you specified that lol [05:05] raylu: it did nothing [05:05] Hmm. Should you really "sudo" startx? [05:05] Brack101: ls /usr/sbin/gdm [05:05] tiyowan: xinitrc should make it start a login prompt, right? [05:05] ls: cannot access /usr/sbin/gdm: No such file or directory [05:05] I guess that's a problem [05:05] :) [05:06] whats the command to turn my chm file to pdf using chm2pdf? [05:06] yeah [05:06] Brack101: yep... problem found [05:06] ok great....sooooooo [05:06] droopsta915: I would assume to be in the dir which contains your .chm file and then: chm2pdf winhelfilename.chm [05:06] Brack101: so, apt-get install --reinstall gdm [05:06] droopsta915: man chm2pdf [05:07] raylu: yEP. [05:07] reinstall never fixes my problems [05:07] but I'm trying [05:07] droopsta915: Also reading the man page for the command as NoelJB suggests can't hurt [05:07] Brack101: just do it [05:07] raylu: But does startx not work? [05:07] okey dok [05:07] lol it really didnt fix mine [05:07] genii: nor can http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=chm2pdf&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=chm2p [05:07] Brack101: then ls /usr/bin/gdm [05:07] ok brb [05:07] I assign through command line assign an ip address to the interface [05:07] Brack101: ok... [05:07] how can I chnage the configuration to dhcp [05:08] ls: cannot access /usr/bin/gdm: No such file or directory [05:08] tiyowan: it did, but there were things (audio) he needed to be root for [05:08] Brack101: after a reinstall? [05:08] yes [05:08] Brack101: /usr/SBIN/gdm [05:08] no caps, just emphasizing. [05:08] Brack101: oh.. woops [05:08] Uh-oh. Looks like GDM's toast. [05:08] it said this invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed. at the end of -reinstall [05:08] Brack101: ls /usr/sbin/gdm [05:08] Brack101: dpkg -l gdm [05:08] oh, that's not good.

[05:10] mankash: /etc/network, though try the network manager applet first [05:10] Brack101: I found a comment that running dpkg-reconfigure gdm fixed it for someone. [05:10] ok [05:11] maybe I should try restarting first [05:11] ok [05:11] Brack101: +1 [05:11] after all it did say I need to when I reinstalled [05:11] plus sudo startx fixed all my probs so [05:11] brb [05:12] hey i just fixed my problem!!! yay [05:12] i think i'm more acquainted now with gnome than i want to be :( [05:12] incase anyone was wondering and i feel like a dumas but here is the line that saved me sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:13] raylu: et al... thanks for helping this guy. i couldn't figure out his problem last night(well, i solved on of his problems).

Great! [05:15] yeppers [05:16] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm experiencing a strange problem with my internet. Well, I can't access it. I can connect to my wi-fi network, but I can't access the internet. This is strange, because I can do so from a custom LiveCD I have, and my brother's computer is working just fine too. Does anyone know what might cause this? === duanedesign_ is now known as duanedesign [05:17] ok some of the problems [05:17] firefox bookmarks no longer work [05:17] lolol [05:17] [TiZ]: Type ifconfig and pastebin your wireless interface? [05:17] I have such a love hate relationship with Linux [05:18] this is about the 10th time I've installed linux [05:18] only 10? lol that's nothing [05:18] <[TiZ]> tiyowan: That would be impossible. Sure, I can do it from the LiveCD. But the liveCD is working. The installed OS is not. It can't access the internet, so I can't pastebin it. :( [05:18] Brack101: look in /root for your firefox bookmarks might be in there.. just a guess. look with ls -a and you'll see hidden dirs [05:19] does ubuntu have common issues with intel integrated graphics? [05:19] onetinsoldier: no, they're broken...as in if I add a bookmark it doesn't show up [05:19] <[TiZ]> tiyowan: Actually, what I can do... and it will probably take a while... is to reboot to the installed OS, ifconfig, output to a file, boot to the live CD, and then pastebin it. [05:19] Brack101: you are logged in as yourself? [05:19] Brack101: ok, roger that. [05:19] icarus: I had problems installing on a Dell OptiPlex GX260 with integrated 8 mb intel...the computer doesn't get hardware accel [05:19] not my computer, my sister in law [05:20] [TiZ]: Okay...well in that case. You need to *boot* into Ubuntu and just check ifconfig to see whether your interface is getting an ip assigned. [05:20] im trying to get my friends graphics up and running with hardy, but hardware drivers isn't detecting anything for his comp [05:20] icarus: same here, never got it fixed :( [05:20] Brack101: in case something got corrupted, you could close firefox, move ~/.mozilla out of the way (blowing away any current config) and run it again. [05:20] icarus: try messing around with bios settings? [05:21] icarus: what does "isn't detecting anything" mean? [05:21] well his integrated graphics are fairly larger than 8 mb [05:21] <[TiZ]> tiyowan: What if I already know that it is? This CD... or DVD, rather... takes a while to boot. I'd like to gather up a bunch of things to try, and do them all at once. [05:21] raylu: basically hes using mesa [05:21] the funny thing is, is that glxgears is working for him [05:21] so opengl is rendering [05:21] onetinsoldier: ls -A is more useful than ls -a. also, fedora has alias l.="ls -Ad .*" [05:21] but stuff like zsnes doesn't want to run [05:21] raylu: ok, thanks for the tip :) [05:22] [TiZ]: No worries. && Could someone take a look here? [05:22] <[TiZ]> Oh, also! I forgot to mention. I can ping my router, but I can't ping a site like, say, ubuntu.com. I can even go to the router config page in Firefox. [05:22] [TiZ]: "host google.com" [05:23] [TiZ] what is your local IP address? 192.168.0.x? Likely your cable modem doesn't have a WAN ip... try going to 192.168.100.1 [05:23] [TiZ]: You can go to your router page right? [05:23] noeljb, fixed my problem thanks [05:23] [TiZ] your router is 192.168.1.1 probably... your cable modem is 192.168.100.1. Make sure it is not having issues. [05:24] Guys...TiZ is using the LiveCD to access the net from the same box and router. [05:24] i need help in getting ati proprietary drivers [05:24] DarkFuzion: System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers [05:24] Brack101: what did? [05:24] it show nothing in it lol [05:24] <[TiZ]> Thanks for clearing that up, tiyowan. I guess I wasn't clear on that. [05:24] icarus: could you have him run "lsmod | grep vesa"? === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit [05:24] <[TiZ]> And yes, I can get to my router page. [05:24] NoelJB: deleting ~/.mozilla [05:25] Brack101: no [05:25] Brack101: just move it elsewhere [05:25] raylu: I moved it to the trash in case [05:25] worked perfectly [05:25] DarkFuzion: for what version of ubuntu? [05:26] [Tiz]: I think either your card's not getting an ip address, or maybe your gateway address is wrong. [05:26] Brack101: ok [05:26] raylu: what will that do? [05:26] icarus: also, what card does he have anyway? [05:26] 8.10 [05:26] icarus: show whether the vesa modules is loaded [05:26] Ati radeon mobility [05:26] its mesa he has loaded though, not vesa [05:26] !ati | DarkFuzion [05:26] DarkFuzion: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:26] raylu: its some weird integrated intel graphics [05:26] thanks [05:26] ok thanks for everyone's help [05:27] icarus: lsmod for mesa, vesa, intel then :D [05:27] i did a search, but only found a few hits from really old fiesty forum posts [05:27] Does anyone know the CLI cmd. to get the default gateway for an interface? [05:27] DarkFuzion: the ati flgrx proprietary drivers don't work with kernel 2.6.27.. need to wait [05:27] I will now continue to use Linux instead of windows because of your help [05:27] <[TiZ]> tiyowan: That could be. What would I do to fix those? [05:27] need to wait until it does???? [05:28] tiyowan: i believe it's ifconfig's Bcast [05:28] DarkFuzion: perhaps i shuold be more specific the ati "8.11" flgrx proprietary drivers don't work with kernel 2.6.27.. need to wait [05:28] DarkFuzion: yes.. need to wait until ati makes a newer version (8.12) that does [05:29] i thought they have a 8.12 [05:29] DarkFuzion: perhaps.. it'd be news to me tho! [05:29] I'm on an ATI X1400. Drivers work, but they don't work with Compiz. Video flickering problems. [05:29] tiyowan, ip route show or netstat -rn [05:29] guys, i'm cleaning the insides of my desktop. i forget which way panaflo fan should be. should the flow be away the processor or towards? [05:29] i guessi'll wait [05:29] * onetinsoldier prays that ati has released linux 8.12 drivers [05:29] Use the force luke [05:30] <\\`oot> Hi [05:30] * DarkFuzion i hpope soon [05:30] <\\`oot> :) [05:30] Testing my sound, could someone reply to see if xchat will beep for me? [05:30] <[TiZ]> onetinsoldier: They have. [05:30] OMG! really... going to d/l them now [05:30] n2diy, does it work? [05:30] <[TiZ]> n2diy, beep.

[05:30] joeb3_, yes! thanks [05:30] chown \Kira [05:30] [TiZ]: There you go. Checklist. Pastebin ifconfig. Run netstat -rn. Pastebin that, too. [05:30] <\\`oot> Hi, what's the fastest way to get a CD/DVDr to work? [05:30] onetinsoldier: You're on ATI too? [05:30] <\Kira> Also, whats the root group? [05:30] Tiz, thanks. [05:30] how can i change chat server on this ubuntu irc thing [05:30] <\\`oot> mine isn't "detected" I guess? [05:31] How can I convert flac files to .alac (apple lossless)? [05:31] <\Kira> mindrape: thats for changing owners and groups, right? [05:31] DarkFuzion: ok, [TiZ] also says that 8.12's are out.. i'm going to see if i can get them. [05:31] DarkFuzion, xchat? [05:31] ok ill go look too man [05:31] \Kira chown root:root then chmod 744 [05:31] n2diy: speaker-test [05:31] im on ubuntu 8.10 pig what ever [05:31] <[TiZ]> tiyowan: Okay. I'll pastebin ifconfig and netstat -rn. Should I do it from here on the live CD too? To have something to compare to? [05:31] raylu, it works, thanks. [05:31] im gona go get Xchat [05:32] tiyowan: yes.. and with a fairly new video card.. so i need latest drivers. the 8.11's did work for me with kernel 2.6.26, which was nice [05:32] <[TiZ]> Fortunately, I'm on Radeon Xpress 1150. I can use the open drivers. :) [05:32] [TiZ]: Good idea. [05:32] tiyowan: what card do you have? [05:32] <\Kira> mindrape: 744? I understand the last two digits, but I dont understand the first one. Is it recommended to always have it at 7? The man page didnt explain what it does very well [05:32] i can't get skype to register my voice when i speak... [05:32] <[TiZ]> Alright. I'll be back as soon as possible. [05:32] where do you get xchat? [05:32] hi. I've seen that i can use, or install kdesktop easyly. And i like to see how i like it. But would it affect compiz-fusion if i change to kde desktop ? [05:33] \Kira: if you don't want to do it numerically, you can use u/g/o + - = rwx [05:33] er, that was confusing [05:33] \Kira: if you don't want to do it numerically, you can use u/g/o +/-/= r/w/x [05:33] \Kira 7 = read, write, execute perms for the user.... doesn't hurt to do it. [05:33] onetinsoldier: X1400 Mobility. 2.6.27 kernel. I get video flickering. How would I find out the version of the ATI drivers? Maybe getting new ones'll help me, too. [05:33] tiyowan: mine's an HIS IceQ4 4850 HD 512 MB [05:34] My mistake--I'm trying to convert .flac to .m4a (apple lossless). Any GUI program in ubuntu? [05:34] tiyowan: check in /usr/share/ati... [05:34] onetinsoldier: But if I switch to metacity, it's all good. Ok, thx.

[05:35] <\Kira> raylu: yeah [05:35] \Kira: so, for example, if you only want to give read permissions to all, you can chmod +r ...

[06:09] eweb100: your install may be corrupt or your hardware may be failing - the first thing i would do is try taking out sticks of ram [06:09] raylu, not really Dec 12 18:09:43 ubuntu810 libvirtd: Shutting down on signal 15 [06:09] gnea: lol its k [06:10] eweb100: you might want to try watching syslog to see if there are any errors when it freezes [06:10] xavie: take them out? [06:10] <\Kira> how can I log terminal output to a file? [06:10] gnea: how do i monter systemlog [06:10] tiyowan: i don't recall what the version number was, i just know it's the newest one ;) [06:10] Gnea: no... but dist-upgrade doesn't really do anything either... it says 0 packages were installed [06:10] raylu, lol all i did was remove the applet for a sec to move some other stuff around on the pannel... didn't think it would be this hard to look at wifi networks [06:10] eweb100: open a terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog [06:11] Cainus: then the system is fully up to date. if you want newer packages, you need to upgrade the entire distribution. [06:11] !upgrade | Cainus [06:11] Cainus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:11] xavie: ok you said something about....ram? [06:11] eweb100: if you still have control of your mouse, forget ram [06:11] xavie: i have never had it crash on the vista side [06:11] xavie: ok [06:11] Xavier: if the ram is it, he could always let it run memtest+ [06:11] robertMB: wait a sec... what happens if you right-click the panel and click add? [06:11] how come i can't edit options for screensavers in gnome, but kubuntu has the function for that? [06:11] robertMB: next time, you only need to unlock things, not remove them. [06:12] xavie: i just kinda...you know sit there and realize that my thing has forzen [06:12] gnea: it's faster to just take ram sticks out haha if you know how [06:12] xavie: this has bin happining for the past 3 installs.. Meaning i have REinstaled ubuntu 3 times to try to fix the problem [06:12] * raylu forgets that networkmanager is a panel applet, not an app with a notification icon [06:12] gnea: just one at a time until you determine which one is failing, but in his case since he still has control of the mouse, it sounds more like an Ubuntu issue [06:12] raylu, first thing i tried nowhere to be found [06:13] Gnea: thanks... I'm working on it ;) [06:13] Xavier: generally, that behavior is discouraged in here. most people don't have the knowledge to pass A+, and since ubuntu comes with memtest86+ already, might as well use what's already there instead of taking a chance of messing someone's system up further. [06:13] xavie: any ideaz? [06:13] how do i change screensaver settings? the screensaver config program doesnt have a settings button for configuring individual screensavers. [06:13] has anyone in the history of mankind had a problem with Intrepid Ibex, acer 5100 and sound card? I cannot get sound to work. Please advice. [06:13] gnea: taking out ram is alot easyer than sucssuflly runing memtest [06:13] NoelJB, lol yea I was going to try a new set up, but removing an applet from the tray should not cripple a systems network :\ [06:13] gnea: i remeber i was a noobz once. [06:14] eweb100: if you feel inclined to do so, then go for it. :) [06:14] gnea: no its a ubuntu side problem, ime guesing [06:14] robertMB: actually, what did you do? network icon is on the notification area, and doesn't have a remove on the context menu. [06:14] eweb100: that's why i suggest not diving straight into the hardware. :) [06:15] gnea: true true.. [06:15] NoelJB, Just right click and removed, im using xubuntu [06:15] robertMB: sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart [06:15] robertMB: Ah. Nevermind then. [06:15] you gotta love gimp [06:15] http://img.waffleimages.com/53861df0e53963c6a7e2f0ea6b4f529bc88ff5a1/ALIEN KINK VII_final.png [06:15] DarkFuzion1: howdy.. installed. and i enabled the Composite Extension.. cool eye-candy effects in my window manager now! [06:15] robertMB: then nm-applet [06:15] eweb100, Xavier: there was this kid in my A+ class once who was so proud of the fact that he could take apart and put back together a computer faster than anyone else in the classroom. Of course, it didn't always work and there were always spare screws and other little nick-nacks leftover when it was back together. [06:16] robertMB: if it still doesn't run, [06:16] cool coolcool ready for standyby [06:16] how do i change settings for screensaver? the screensaver config dialog doesn't have a settings button for individual screensaver settings [06:16] DarkFuzion1: what's up? you're ready for the install now? [06:16] robertMB: hrm =\ nevermind [06:16] yup ready to learn [06:16] gnea: rly? or is that just someting you found of a fourm? [06:16] want me to pm you ? [06:16] eweb100: eh taking them apart and building them is a breeze, it's understanding the bios and being able to tweak voltages that impresses me ;) [06:17] DarkFuzion1: oh. you need instructions on how to install? [06:17] yeah [06:17] eweb100: Really. [06:17] i am def new to the run [06:17] DarkFuzion1: ok, np. you've downloaded the file? [06:17] yeah done it [06:17] how do i change settings for screensaver? the screensaver config dialog doesn't have a settings button for individual screensaver settings. anybody? cmon... [06:17] eweb100: needless to say, he wound up dropping out of the program. :) [06:17] eweb100: your issue doesn't sound like there would be an easy fix, given that you have already tried reinstalling ubuntu 3 times [06:17] gnea: phailz? [06:17] robertMB: if that doesn't work, i'm out of juice :P i need to get to studying [06:17] DarkFuzion1: do sudo -i [06:17] eweb100: epic failz. [06:17] where is the themes folder? I have problems with DarkRoom theme and I want to reinstall. [06:17] robertMB: you could try reinstalling gnome-network-manager [06:17] gnea: ftl. [06:18] :) [06:18] xavie: ya that is the problem.. [06:18] ndf: did you try xscreansaver? [06:18] ndf: xscreensaver [06:18] eweb100: it could have something to do with the mobo driver that ubuntu is defaulting to when you install [06:18] Gnea, xavie: The funy thing is, is that when i went over to xfce it never crashed [06:18] DarkFuzion1: then cd to the dir where you have the .run tell me when you're there [06:18] i pm you onetinsoldier [06:18] dudus: that's what i'm talking about [06:18] ok [06:19] eweb100: that's quite interesting... [06:19] ndf: you sure? the one that comes with ubuntu is gnome-screensaver, try to install xscreensaver from synaptic [06:19] gnea, xavie: and all i was doing was chaging the session [06:19] Hello, trying to help a friend get her internet working, she's on an iMac with a wireless router, can anyone help [06:19] ? [06:20] dudus: ok if i do that will it appear in system>preferences seperately? [06:20] eweb100: apparently your pc doesn't have "made for ubuntu" written on it like ours does =) [06:20] xavie: damn ant dat true. [06:20] ndf: I think so, but I'm not sure... anyway you could launch it from terminal by typing xscreensaver [06:20] Gnea: I'm getting 404's from do-release-upgrade ... [06:20] xavie: maby its just being mad at me because ime 13... or something of that sort? [06:20] Cainus: o.O [06:20] yeah but that will launch the set screensaver won't it? [06:20] i want the config program [06:21] it's passed your bed time! [06:21] >.< [06:21] i guess feisty is so ancient they don't keep the packages for it anymore? [06:21] Xavier: it's 6:21am here :P [06:21] Cainus: looks like you've fallen behind.... got a cd burner? [06:21] haha! [06:21] ndf: I think xscreensaver has an advanced tab where you can adjust some settings for some screensavers [06:21] xavie: ya...ya...ya...1 am isn't to bad for a schoolnight [06:21] yeah I'm getting the latest via .torrent ATM [06:21] ndf: I'm not sure, I never tried because it's useless IMHO, but you could try it... it won't hurt [06:21] dudus: i know, but won't 'xscreensaver' in terminal just launch a set screensaver and not the config program? [06:21] Cainus: yeah, it was a fiesty fawn, but bambi got hungry... [06:22] heheh [06:22] ;) [06:22] eweb100: i hear the latest version of opensuse is tasty these days, maybe you could give it a go? [06:22] xavie: Ehh.. does it have gnome? [06:22] <\Kira> Do you put the & before or after a command to have it run in the background? [06:22] xavie: because ive only seen it with kde [06:22] ndf: why don't you just try it and tell me l8er [06:22] eweb100: you could also try elivecd, if you're down with enlightenment [06:22] before [06:22] eweb100K it can yeh [06:22] \Kira: after [06:23] ^ [06:23] sry [06:23] <\Kira> Gnea: thanks [06:23] gnea: lolz enlightment [06:23] eweb100: if i recall from a long while back, i think you get to choose during the install which GUI you'll be using [06:23] Why does evolution get run every time I plug in my power cable? [06:24] eweb100: it runs on the OLDEST of systems - only needs a min of 64mb ram and 100mhz proc [06:24] It's really getting annoying now, and uninstalling it just changes it to a popup saying the command couldn't be found. [06:24] eweb100: i put it on an older celern with 256mb... runs great [06:24] gnea: well.. i am sling two nvidia 9800 with 6 gigs of ram so ime good. [06:24] *celeron [06:24] gnea: and a 3.1 duel core [06:24] eweb100: nice. [06:24] gnea: i actually didn't come here to help out persay btw, just wanted to chit chat ;) but sometimes i can't help it [06:24] gnea: its my crisis rig [06:24] eweb100: is that AMD or EM64T? [06:25] Xavier: :) [06:25] raylu, still same starting error after a restart :( [06:25] amd [06:25] gnea: well its amd 64 bit [06:25] ah, this server runs EM64T - dualproc 3.0 [06:25] gnea: and can it run crisis on high? [06:26] gnea: lolz. [06:26] only 2 gigs ram, but it's sweet [06:26] i'm running an old opteron socket 939 ;) [06:26] never ran crisis before :) [06:26] can someone tell me something about something i did [06:26] gnea: give it a try..its uber good graphics [06:26] rofflecopters. [06:26] tleeonly: only if you tell us what it is [06:26] ok, what's a good free space wiper for ubuntu? [06:26] !aks | tleeonly [06:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about aks [06:26] gnea: horible gameplay [06:26] !ask | tleeonly [06:26] tleeonly: 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. :-) [06:27] vantrax: lol [06:27] <\Kira> if there a way I can constantly append terminal output to a file? script doesnt seem to do it constantly, Im running a command in a screen ssh terminal, and I want it to keep recording after I close the ssh session [06:27] * Xavier laughs [06:27] well ime hapy i havn't crahsed in like...10 minunites [06:27] <\Kira> at me? [06:27] eweb100: i don't see it in the repos or on google [06:27] naw, vantrax [06:27] <\Kira> I see [06:28] gnea: sorry must of spelled it wrong [06:28] gnea; its a windows game. [06:28] eweb100: oh lol [06:28] okay when i formatted my hardrive put a fresh install of intrepid the screensavers wouldnt work right and i had to install gutsy and update it and then update to lts and then i could update to intrepid and now the screen savers work [06:28] maybe it works in cedega [06:28] gnea: doute it. [06:28] gnea: its like..what all major cards benchmark on [06:29] gnea: its probibly the most resorce hogging game [06:29] eweb100: 'crysis'? [06:29] gnea: yep [06:29] gnea: well crysis [06:29] is there anyway to get it to work from a fresh install [06:29] gnea: so ya [06:29] eweb100: looks like it bombed pretty badly a year ago... but, that was a year ago :) [06:29] Anyone know about converting from .flac to .m4a? [06:30] mikebot: yeah, use winff [06:30] gnea: well crysis 2 is out.. and the gameplay sucks whitch is why noneplayes it. me and my friends just have it to see who has a better rig [06:30] Gnea: Is there a GUI for that? [06:30] mikebot, .flac is better, its lossless [06:30] mikebot: http://code.google.com/p/winff/ [06:30] tleeonly: were you getting graphic acceleration when you initially installed intrepid? [06:30] mikebot: it *is* a gui :) [06:30] miik: I need to put some flac's on my ipod [06:30] Hello, friend is trying to get her 2.0ghz iMac to run Ubuntu, her wireless isn't working, she's got a broadcom controller, anyone have any advice? [06:30] mikebot, if you wanna go encode to .m4a ok, but if you encode to .m4p im gonna smack you in the face [06:30] ipod is sucks crap [06:30] Gnea: Ah, thanks. [06:31] no the graphic controller won't let me do that [06:31] formode: wifi card? [06:31] eweb100: i tend to measure rig-status based on how well it can perform SETI searches ;) [06:31] Yes a wifi card, eweb100 [06:31] Gnea, Hi! [06:31] miik: To have high quality music on an ipod I need them to be m4a, right? Ipods don't use flac I believe. [06:31] SETI useful :D [06:31] formode: no whitch one [06:31] mikebot: cheers [06:31] tleeonly: i would think most of the default screensavers require it [06:31] mikebot, yeah i guess.. ipod sucks [06:31] eweb100, a Broadcom. [06:31] eweb100: haven't done a game one in a long time... i should do that again sometime [06:32] gnea: SETI searches?? [06:32] miik: Haha, I guess.

Check the connections. Step 2. Check the headphone in another PC. [07:23] No tnoy it was just static discharge.

[07:53] :-) [07:53] jtaji, bascule thanks [07:54] brusteve, last couple things I can think of.. first, try using /dev/sdb1 (or check which partitions are on the usb drive: fdisk -l /dev/sdb).. Next, try adding another command line option: -boot c [07:54] i want to use xmms. how do i set it up? [07:55] tnoy: i tried the first one already, i'll try the second one now [07:55] brusteve, the '-boot c' option will force booting from the harddrvie (which you define using -hda /dev/sdx#).

[07:57] morning acidcore [07:58] does anyone know a terminal command that will give the CURRENT keyboard layout as output? if not a command, a series of commands is acceptable [07:58] i have a problem with nautilus / gnome ... when i make a sftp connection and i have a timeout (reconnect) than i can't again connect to the server :/ i must restart ..

[08:00] brusteve, I'd be surprised if it was a limitation with qemu, honestly. I'm a little surprised that its not working.

[08:03] cplab2-58, well you will also need to download contents of the normal repo in there [08:03] cplab2-58, you probably want apt-mirror then i presume? [08:03] cplab2-58, with apt-mirror === DASPRiD|off is now known as DASPRiD [08:04] flash 10 on firefox? anyone? [08:04] brusteve, I believe that qemu doesnt make it hda or sda. That will be based on how the kernel on the usb drive is configured. the -hda flag just means 'first ide drive' modern kernels will make it /dev/sdx [08:04] jim_p; i just want to put all packages on cd and use it on all systems [08:04] cplab2-58, do you have the packages? [08:04] jim_p, hischild; i just want to put all packages on cd and use it on all systems [08:04] cant play any flash related stuff.. install the deb package from adobe... flash 10 on firefox.. [08:05] cplab2-58, then its just a simple line in sources.list [08:05] jim_p; i have currently installed only few packages..... [08:05] cplab2-58, you want the entire repo on cd? that'll never fit, not even on dvd. [08:05] tnoy: well, I'm glad that it seems to boot. I mean I get the splash screen which means something is going right, I just wish I could figure this one out... thanks for your help [08:05] angah: Not familiar with IDM, but a search of apt-cache returned a few results, both gui & cli. WGet for ex... do a quick search in Synaptic. [08:05] cplab2-58, something like that deb file:///media/cdrom/repo ubuntu something [08:06] EADG: ok..thanks [08:06] cplab2-58, can you "drain" the packages from apt's cache? [08:06] jim_p, hischild; not all packages.....i have installed very few necessary packages....i want to get all the necessary packages probably around 100 altogether [08:06] brusteve, Oh, I wasn't aware you even got a boot splash. Your theory on the sda/hda could be right. If you can edit the files on the drive you might be able to change the /etc/fstab options [08:06] tnoy: oh wait, it's still mounted on the desktop, that might be it!!! [08:07] !clone | cplab2-58 [08:07] cplab2-58: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:07] cplab2-58, ok, these are in apt's cache i presume. do you have them on cdrom now? [08:07] i need some help configuring a2dp i think ... i got a set of bluetooth headphones but i just cant get it to connect to my computer ... it shows up in bluetooth devices and stuff but there's no option to send sound to headphones [08:07] cplab2-58, give me a sec, phonecall [08:07] jim_p; no someone told me to use aptoncd to get the packages on cd [08:08] jim_p, hischild; no someone told me to use aptoncd to get the packages on cd [08:08] EADG: can u give ur opinion? [08:08] !info aptoncd [08:08] aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.98-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 207 kB, installed size 1528 kB [08:08] windows [08:08] cplab2-58, and what seems to be the problem with it? [08:09] hischild; so if i use aptoncd....whatever packages i have installed on system will get on cd?? [08:09] brusteve, if it STILL doesnt work, I'd just play around with a few of the cmd line options. Like, '-snapshot' might bypass any issues if you cant write to the drive [08:09] angah: I've used wget from the command line in the past to download Digg & Reddit for offline reading. I'd suggest a gui version. [08:09] I really need a DxDiag.xml and I'm not about to touch windows lol. [08:09] cplab2-58, from what i'm reading here, yeh ... so you won't have to redownload it all again. [08:10] tnoy: nope, i unmounted the drive, still doesn't work... same error [08:10] sucks [08:10] hischild; so when i put it on other system....how will i install it using this cd [08:10] cplab2-58, don't have experience with it, but i'm fairly sure it'll show itself. Sec, i'll check [08:10] angah: gwget if your using Gnome, kget-kde4 if you run KDE. [08:11] EADG: has it gui? [08:11] cplab2-58, http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/screenshots/restore-dialog-big.png [08:11] jim_p; did u get what i said?? [08:11] cplab2-58, he's afk, phonecall. [08:11] cplab2-58, yes, just got back [08:12] angah: not wget. wget is cli only, but gwget & kwget-kde4 are gui... so says apt-cache :) [08:12] jim_p; ohh...okk [08:12] jim_p; did u get what i said?? [08:12] cplab2-58, yea [08:12] Вы все бараны Пошли все нахуй!!! [08:12] jim_p; i got idea how to create aptoncd... [08:13] cplab2-58, apt-oncd will get YOUR packages on the cd? or the ones from online? [08:13] russian [08:13] Вот и я говорю хорошая идея [08:13] Ес еп [08:13] !ru | Djon [08:13] Djon: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:13] jim_p, only those which he has already installed. [08:13] privet [08:14] EADG: does it has setting for login such as from rapidshare account? [08:14] Хай [08:14] hischild, will apt-oncd isolate those? then no problem from me [08:14] tnoy: My best guess is that it's booting from the first partition (/boot) but then it can't find the second, which contains all the good stuff [08:14] jim_p; using aptoncd we can get packages from online.....now from this i want to install packages...how do i do that [08:14] Ты откуда? [08:14] angah: No idea, never used Rapidshare with wget :/ [08:15] jim_p, how do you mean isolate those? It's pretty much what the !clone factoid does, but without the need to download. And ofcourse, it needs more space. [08:15] cplab2-58, add that line to every sources.list on your pcs deb file:///media/cdrom/repo ubuntu something [08:15] hi. is there a shortcut to maximize windows vertically? [08:15] jim_p; is that the correct code.... [08:15] hischild, for instance. if he is on gnome + some installed packages, i suppose he does not want the entire kde that the repo has :P [08:15] Hi [08:16] EADG: i want to download from rapidshare [08:16] jim_p, ofcourse. It'll only copy the packages he's already got installed, so he can replicate his current installation. [08:16] jim_p; or will this work...in repositories....i check cd drive [08:16] cplab2-58,the "/repo ubuntu something" part changes [08:16] Privet pizdaboli [08:16] I'll just find a way on my own then lol [08:16] Foe some reason I can't visit this site: tigerdirect.com I tried Konquerer, and Firefox, but neither work!

[08:27] Photoguy: ah yeah [08:27] no, i want this execution with a 10 minutes delay just one time, crontab is for regular executions [08:27] Photoguy: check the latency with a ping [08:27] How? [08:27] :P [08:28] in the 8.10 installer, does the automatic (guided) partitioning create a swap partition? [08:28] I see hischild. Is there a way that I can do that in a bash script?

[08:51] vietnow, fstab is the permanent solution for mounting. it survives reboots and the like because thats what its supposed to do > provide a CONSTANT place for mounting everytime [08:51] k, thx coudnt find enything usefull in google [08:51] Yossarian, does soundKonverter convert them?

[09:13] good thing i have nvidia card at work. :D [09:13] Kohvihoor, did you install fglrx? [09:13] iminhell, i don't understand how a makefile can be the source of dvd playback trouble. Can you explain it? And do this for me and give me the output .. uname -a [09:13] i didn't do anything, because installation bootup froze before i could even see anything past usplash [09:13] Kohvihoor, not even the live enviroment? [09:14] nope. [09:14] hi all, I have a FAT32 partition for sharing stuff between the dualboot windoze and linux. But i'm losing data when I shutdown from linux as it isn't unmounting. The reason for that is when I mount it via Dolphin file manager KDE prompts me for a password, likewise when I unmount it prompts... so when I shutdown the password prompt comes up to unmount but i have no time to type it before X turns off. I checked fstab and found that the partition [09:14] isn't defined in there... must it be ? Is that the cause of the permissions request ? thanks [09:14] http://imperiumreklamy.com/pages/ptp.php?refid=krzysztof9222 click here to fun [09:14] Kohvihoor, thats weird. can you try the alternative installation cd? [09:14] Does any1 else get that nasty keyboard lag when trying to cap the first letter and it ends up capping the first and second letter ?? [09:15] fun for linux http://imperiumreklamy.com/pages/ptp.php?refid=krzysztof9222 [09:15] jim_p, if i have time, i'll try it today later. else i'm gonna submit a bug report. [09:15] Darkhost, please don't do that in here. [09:15] stop it Darkhost [09:15] because 8.04 worked fine [09:16] Kohvihoor, i am sure there will already be one [09:16] yea, me too. [09:16] ok [09:16] sorry:( [09:16] :) [09:16] if i'm not the only one with this strange computer i have. [09:17] Kohvihoor, what gpu are you on? [09:17] hischild: http://paste.ubuntu.com/86121/ I can't get any dvd to play, I submitted a bug because we though we found the problem, they list it as answered now but I still don't have a fix, I've not had good luck with Ubuntu yet. Here is the link to my launchpad --> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54351 [09:17] jim_p, ati 2400pro [09:17] Kohvihoor, agp? [09:17] pci-e [09:18] #html [09:18] how can i see what my computer is made of, what command? [09:18] cpu ram etc [09:18] iminhell, you have a specific reason not to be on the -9 kernel? [09:18] iminhell, and do you have the libdvdcss package from medibuntu installed? [09:18] Kohvihoor, well this is my xorg.conf, in case you get some idea http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf [09:19] nbeebo, multiple commands [09:19] hischild: not really and yes [09:19] Kohvihoor, i am on ati 3850 pcix [09:19] nbeebo: "sudo lshw" has all the information you'll probably ever want :) [09:19] nbeebo, lshw [09:19] the_gamer.. hmm ok... rww, jim_p ill try thanks [09:19] iminhell, well i would always suggest to be on the latest kernel, which would be the -9 kernel in this case. You've tried the fix they gave? adding it to .bashrc [09:19] hello, im interested in changing the 'on battery' dim from 40% to 60%, how can i accomplish this? [09:20] nbeebo, for cpu cat /proc/cpuinfo, for ram, cat /proc/meminfo [09:20] jim_p, thanks. [09:20] lspci etc... [09:20] yeah, lshw would be best [09:20] tho i run dual monitors, so it's a bit different. [09:20] how to record myself using the terminal? [09:20] hischild: It wouldn't add to the .bashrc. At least when I looked at the files I saw nothing relating to dvdcss [09:21] Kohvihoor, somewhere in there is the Option "DesktopSetup" "single" change that and add the other monitor under mine [09:21] omfg... can anyone tell me what the java plugin install command is for firefox..... ie tried this about a hundred times.. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [09:21] iminhell, that's because .bashrc isn't related to libdvdcss, dvdcss or anything for that matter. However, what you'll be adding there will affect all applications. Are you willing to try it? [09:21] in 8.04 i used aticonfig [09:21] hischild: if those links to the paste still work, that was exactly what was in those files [09:21] blip-:autofs [09:21] JollyRoger, did you run the update-alternatives command too === chaky_ is now known as chaky [09:22] JollyRoger: I believe that command is correct. [09:22] iminhell, i know .bashrc :-) The effect would be that you won't have to set the env variable, because it's set as soon as you login. [09:22] Kohvihoor, noooo avoid it at all costs! you dont want to look at the xorg.conf it makes :( [09:22] the_gamer, thanks [09:22] Hi All [09:22] hischild: can try, I got nothing to loose [09:22] well that command keeps telling me... Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [09:22] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [09:22] is only available from another source [09:22] E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate [09:22] aperson: don't I already have this ? How is kubuntu 8.04 mounting my root and home then [09:22] JollyRoger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:22] jim_p, but its easier. :( but okay, i'll try to avoid it next time. [09:23] iminhell, alright. It's fairly easy actually, open up a terminal and copy this command to execute -->echo "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title" >> ~/.bashrc [09:23] iminhell, then log out, back in, and see if it works. [09:23] blip-: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/allow-normal-user-to-mount-linux-partitions-usb-stickpen-device.html has some info [09:23] E: Couldn't find package update-alternatives [09:23] JollyRoger: Um...wait one.

I managed to get the VPN PPT connection to work in Intrepid at home. However at the office it does'nt connect. Starting in XP or using another computer in the same office network (XP) it is possible to connect, however when I start my computer in Linux it doesn't. The only diference between home and the office is that at the office we have a VPN PPTP server with the PPTP prot [09:25] ocol ports forwarded to it; However if this is the reason, why the others computers or mine in XP can connect? Can you help me please? [09:26] JollyRoger, ease down on that enter button, it's gotta last longer then an hour [09:26] does anyone know how I install the linux-header package for this kernel: 2.6.18-028stab059.5-ent ? [09:26] owen1, arecord maybe? [09:26] does anyone have experience with likewise and ms exchange? [09:26] JollyRoger: Ok. Are you using intrepid? [09:26] Sorry lol. [09:26] yes. [09:26] tormsl, what is that ? a custom made kernel? [09:26] JollyRoger: go to about:plugins and see if you have an entry for Java in there. Also, check in Firefox preferences and make sure that "Enable Java" is checked. It sounds stupid, but that was someone's problem yesterday. [09:26] JollyRoger: Step 1: Verify that the Sun Java JRE is installed by going to Applications -> Add/Remove programs. [09:26] jim_p: thanks, i'll try it [09:26] it's a kernel on a rented VPS server [09:26] JollyRoger: If it is. Step 2: Go to firefox and type about:plugins. [09:27] owen1, you are welcome and sorry for the delay [09:27] it's running 8.04 server with this kernel [09:27] jim_p: (-: [09:27] tormsl, 2.6.18 is as old as... ubuntu dapper! [09:27] JollyRoger: Step 3: If you don't see a Java entry there. Visit any site which has Java code and ff'll prompt you to install the plugin. Do so. [09:27] jim_p, if iminhell gets back here, will you let him know i'm out for a break? tell him to PM me if he succeeded please. [09:27] tormsl: are you sure that's an Ubuntu server? Looks like a CentOS kernel to me =/ [09:27] hischild, ok lol [09:27] jim_p, tnx [09:28] how do I determine what installation is it from the command line then? [09:28] tormsl, uname -r for the kernel [09:28] tiyowan, ive check as many sites as i can for the java plugin... i cannot find one site that actually helps me lol. [09:28] tormsl: run lsb_release -a [09:28] tormsl, lsb_release -a for the distso [09:28] rww got me [09:29] Description:Ubuntu 8.04.1 [09:29] JollyRoger: Do you see an entry for Java in about:plugins? [09:29] No. [09:29] tormsl: huh, guess I was wrong. Never mind, then :) [09:29] JollyRoger: Wait one. [09:30] but is there anywhere I can get linux 2.6.18 kernel headers? [09:30] OK. [09:30] tormsl, ubuntu 8.04 AND kernel 2.6.18 ? [09:30] hischild: didn't work [09:30] yes :( [09:30] im interested in changing the 'on battery' dim from 40% to 60%, how can i accomplish this? [09:31] JollyRoger: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 <- Could you please go to this page. [09:31] tormsl, only if you add a dapper repo and pray to the apt power to retrieve it from there. and still it wonr match the kernel 100% [09:31] OK. [09:31] JollyRoger: What does the page say? [09:31] so, maybe I should compile a new kernel then [09:31] INstalling java. lol [09:32] but i have installed it. [09:32] i need some help configuring a2dp i think ... i got a set of bluetooth headphones but i just cant get it to connect to my computer ... it shows up in bluetooth devices and stuff but there's no option to send sound to headphones [09:32] tormsl, no. just install the latest one (2.6.24 for 8.04) and its headers as well === cparzewski_auei is now known as cparzewski [09:32] can someone pleaseeee help me ... if i dont get the headphones working by tonight my girlfriend will make me sleep on the couch [09:33] vegombrei, if this is the problem then yes. can i pm you?

[09:34] everything is correct, and everything is enabled, i dont understand why it will not simply not plugin to firefox :\ [09:34] JollyRoger: are you using 64-bit?

[09:36] it did nothing. but tell me how to enable java in my browser which i have already done and does not help. [09:36] a nice gui would do [09:37] by network with eachother you mean what c_malc ? [09:37] share files? [09:37] JollyRoger: type in uname -a ....look for x86_64 ...is that on the line? [09:37] Appiah: yes I want to share partitions across a router [09:38] JollyRoger: Edit -> Preferences, verify that Enable Java is ticked. [09:38] across the router? [09:38] ahhh [09:38] Hi, I want to check if DMA is enabled on my dvd drive but /dev/dvd does not appear to be correct, how do I find out which /dev/? my drive is linked to [09:38] you mean all are not behind the router c_malc ? [09:38] Yes i have 86_64. and yes my java is enabled through firefox. [09:38] JollyRoger: And do what onetinsoldier is telling you, because if you're using 64-bits, then Java won't work. [09:38] Jolly: Ah! Bingo! You need to use something else. OpenJava. [09:38] lol [09:38] Sun released 64bit javaplugin for browsers some day ago [09:38] funny, my java works just fine =/ [09:39] Great. now i feel like the jolly green idiot :D [09:39] ushills1, lshw?

[09:39] although maybe it's secretly some impostor java that works fine and the real sun java doesn't. i wouldn't notice the difference. [09:39] JollyRoger, 64-bit Sunjava does work for firefox [09:39] I have 32 bit 8.10, is it worth upgrading to 64bit? I do lots of 3d modelling and rendering. [09:39] Photoguy, do you use over 3gb of ram? [09:39] Appiah: I'd like to be able to move files about between them [09:39] NO, 1.5 [09:39] it is only worth upgrading if you have more than 3gb of ram [09:40] ok [09:40] Photoguy, then you have no real benefits... [09:40] Thanks. [09:40] c_malc: the routers wifi or is there a single access point behind or outside ? [09:40] can i install openjava through terminal ? [09:40] Photoguy, isn't 3d rendering very memory intensive? [09:40] Yes.. [09:40] Very [09:40] JollyRoger: sudo apt-get install ? [09:40] Photoguy, why don't you upgrade to 4gb of ram? [09:41] I need more ram :P [09:41] Photoguy, it'll give you a reason to upgrade to 64-bit [09:41] sudo apt-get install openjava ? [09:41] Appiah: the router is Linksys WRT54GL (4 ethernet ports and wifi and internet WAN) [09:41] apt-get install is for installing with commandline JollyRoger [09:41] Well, I wil when I get a new computer, at least 4g ram and quad 2.4ghz [09:41] c_malc: then use NFS or Samba [09:42] I'd suggest samba incase there happens to be a windows machine there.. [09:42] there is NFS softwares for win too but... [09:42] Appiah: yes.. there is a Windows laptop as well [09:42] sigh, sudo apt-get install openjava did not work :\ [09:42] Photoguy, sounds similar to my system. [09:42] c_malc: then use samba [09:42] C2Q? [09:42] 4gb? [09:43] Photoguy, q6600 4gb ram [09:43] Appiah: ok... I'll see if it's installed [09:43] Nice! [09:43] Photoguy, with a 8800gts gfx card [09:43] JollyRoger: Um. Hmmm. All I know about this is, is that someone else was having a problem earlier with Sun's Java on the 64 bit platform, and they tried an open-source alternative. [09:43] hi, how can i list all installed packages (i want to sync two computers), so i can apt-get install "listed" packages [09:43] fivetwentysix: PM ok?

[10:25] giganto: run sudo fdisk -l it will show partitions [10:26] i set it to my usb headset... [10:26] dark`night: you can edit your xorg.conf manually if the graphic system isn't starting. But if it is, then you can do it through the preferences [10:26] didnt know you had to know rocket science in order to work headphones to a pc. :\ [10:26] giganto: if one shows up, mount it to a folder [10:26] JollyRoger: I need to go on a 15 min break now. :-) But if no one's helped you fix it till then, then I'll look into it. [10:26] ill figure it out, but thank you. [10:27] i was viewed that file (xorg.conf) .. the file there's no update configuration .. [10:27] any wizard application to setting resolution ?

Internal or USB? [10:30] giganto: use pastebin in future dude [10:30] I'd love to see [10:30] ActionParsnip2, okay [10:30] i try to use 915 resolution but apt-get install said obsolete [10:30] tiyowan_, usb [10:30] tiyowan_, the internal one doesn't work either [10:31] giganto: Does it detect the reader when you type "lsusb"? [10:31] giganto: try unplugiing the device: sudo rmmod usb-storage then reconnecting [10:31] tiyowan_, seems like it did detect it [10:32] giganto: Ok... === Audi_Q7 is now known as LL [10:32] ActionParsnip2, unplugged, ran the code, then reconnected [10:32] dark`night: i can show you mine, i run 1024x768 and use xorg.conf === LL is now known as neuling [10:32] please [10:33] giganto: Could you use pastebin.ubuntu.com and post your lsusb output please?

Its an olympus card reader [10:36] how do i manage the splash screens that occur in between logging-in to gnome and my desktop wallpaper loading? [10:36] giganto: Oops. :-) Sorry. Okay are you using 8.10? [10:36] tiyowan_, in my file manager, there is a "USB Drive" under CD-RW/DVD === jstephan_ is now known as jstephan [10:36] tiyowan_, yup [10:36] giganto: what make / model is the reader? [10:36] ActionParsnip2, umm dunno, its supplied by Olympus when I bought their camera [10:36] giganto: So when you put in the card. Nothing happens? I mean can you access it? [10:37] giganto: mine says that and ones never been near it [10:37] giganto: read the bottom of it? [10:38] tiyowan_, umm, the light on the reader blinked furiously, then stopped. Then the option "USB Drive" appeared. I can't access it === Guest53926 is now known as Altin === Altin is now known as AltinT [10:38] ActionParsnip2, the closest i get to a model is MAUSB-200 ...

[10:39] er, giganto: fdisk -l show up anything? [10:40] giganto: tried a different usb port? [10:40] giganto: are you connecting the card reader to a usb hub? [10:40] tiyowan_, 2 lines :Cannot open /dev/sda [10:40] Cannot open /dev/sdb [10:40] is gparted good? [10:41] ActionParsnip2, tried all 3 ports on my laptop. not connected to a usb hub... [10:41] i got 0.3.5 from repositories [10:41] mr_boo: Yes. [10:41] am i supposed to be able to create ntfs partitions? [10:41] giganto: you cant open /sda or sdb as they are drives and not partitions [10:41] giganto: This card you're trying to read, works right? [10:41] giganto: you can only open mounted partitions [10:42] ActionParsnip2: Perhaps have him mount, then try? [10:42] tiyowan_: i seem to be able to create some filesystems but not all listed [10:42] tiyowan_: not showing up in fdisk [10:42] tiyowan_: fat32 seems to be ok but not ntfs [10:42] tiyowan_: any ideas? [10:42] tiyowan_, yeah the card works, just took pictures with it [10:43] ActionParsnip2, perhaps its not mounted?? [10:43] mr_boo: If you want to create ntfs partitions, I'd strongly recommend that you use some Windows-based tool, if you're on a dual boot. [10:43] how do i manage the splash screens in between log-in and desktop wallpaper showing? [10:43] giganto: Could you pastebin your fdisk -l output please? [10:43] giganto: if it doesnt show in fdisk you have nothing to mount [10:43] tiyowan_: actually this is on another physical drive [10:44] giganto: can you also pastebin:dmesg | tail [10:44] dmesg | tail [10:44] tiyowan_, the pastebin for fdisk -l http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/86162/ [10:45] giganto: looks pretty to me [10:45] ActionParsnip2, here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/86164/ [10:46] giganto: except that the boot partition is chosen to swap [10:46] giganto: its detected. but: Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 1 [10:46] giganto: doesn't make sense to me but i'm no expert [10:46] mr_boo, no idea what u are on about lol. I'm newb to linux [10:46] Ludoza> on 8.10 how do I install the package kernel-patch-mppe [10:46] linux-pptp needs it to connect to a microsoft vpn [10:46] /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in pppd. [10:46] RTNETLINK answers: No such process [10:46] Ludoza: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:47] ActionParsnip2, ah ... so ... not good?? [10:47] mr_boo: GParted is very good. [10:47] ActionParsnip2, block 1 is corrupted? [10:47] giganto: do you use an usb disk as system disk? [10:47] mr_boo, nope don't think so [10:47] giganto: got a windows system? [10:47] bullgard4: yup, looks neat [10:47] ActionParsnip2, had one before [10:47] is there some kind of benchmark for linux? I need to create 100% load for my video card [10:48] ActionParsnip2, then used arch for a while (friend slapped it on) [10:48] ActionParsnip2, back to ubuntu now [10:48] bullgard4: but the ntfs choice is graymarked unlike fat16, fat32, ext2 etc. [10:48] The trash icon is not working properly with a new ubuntu 8.10 install. It always appears empty, and states "No items in Trash" when pointed to,although there is content in the trash directory. Right clicking the icon DOES allow me to delete the files in the trash, and left clicking the icon opens the directory displaying the deleted files. [10:48] giganto: you could try attaching it to a windows box to see if the reader is ok and check the disk for errors [10:48] ActionParsnip2, i don't have a windows box with me here lol [10:48] giganto: does your system work as you wish btw? [10:49] giganto: but the system is TRYING to pick it up as /dev/sdb which would yield a partition /dev/sdb1 but it appears corrupt. [10:49] giganto: (too lazy to read log) [10:49] On Ubuntu 8.10 server how do I install/enable the package kernel-patch-mppe. linux-pptp needs it to connect to a microsoft vpn The error I get is "/usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in pppd." [10:49] giganto: does your lappy not have a card reader built in? [10:49] ActionParsnip2, yeah it does [10:50] mr_boo, umm what do u mean as I wish? lol [10:50] zzxxzz: is there a setting to point the trash icon to another folder? maybe its changed from default [10:50] giganto: well, does it boot for example? [10:50] mr_boo, umm yes? otherwise i won't be here using irc lol [10:50] giganto: if sdb shoed in fdisk output you could fsck it to maybe repair [10:51] ActionParsnip2, hmm ... i dun wanna risk losing any data lol [10:51] giganto: id try the reader in another system and even a different os [10:51] giganto: just looked funky that sda1 was swap and marked as boot partition === giuseppe is now known as Guest15296 [10:52] giganto: system was stated to sda5 but nevermind [10:52] mr_boo, ah i remember now, I set the swap partition before I set the boot partition [10:52] giganto: try this [10:52] giganto: sudo modprobe -r sdhci; sudo modprobe -r mmc_block [10:52] the [10:53] giganto: sudo modprobe sdhci; sudo modprobe mmc_block [10:53] ActionParsnip2, i inserted the card into the internal card reader and nothing seems to work [10:53] lol [10:53] giganto: wait 10 seconds then try sudo fdisk -l again [10:53] [ 2994.924094] tifm_core: SmartMedia/xD card detected in socket 0:0 [10:53] giganto: ahhh if the internal card reader wont work its probably the card [10:54] ActionParsnip2, hmm ... [10:54] giganto: if you put it in the camera you may be able to connect it via usb [10:54] bullgard4: do you have any idea if gparted is supposed to be able to handle ntfs partitions? [10:54] ActionParsnip2: Left clicking the icon opens ~/.local/share/Trash/files which is where the deleted files are, and right clicking the icon allow me to remove them. Only the icon always indicates the Trash is empty and when pointed at displays "No items in Trash". [10:54] ActionParsnip2, oh yeah ... [10:54] zzxxzz: have you been playing with icons? [10:55] giganto: i'd try the remove modules, reload modules [10:55] giganto: could also reboot with the card in, see if it likes that [10:56] ActionParsnip2, hmm i dun have the usb cable for the camera... didn't bring it with me since i thought the card reader would work. Do u still want me to run the code sudo modprobe -r sdhci.... again? [10:56] ActionParsnip2, i haven't ran those code yet [10:57] is there a way to create 100 video card load? [10:57] ActionParsnip2: Haven't done anything but install the OS on a new notebook, move some files from an old system, and browse the internet. [10:57] when I use "slocate filename" I get this: slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db': Permission denied [10:57] giganto: id go for the reboot personally, with the card in the built in reader [10:57] ActionParsnip2, okay i'll try that. Brb [10:57] arnuld: you need to update the database maybe [10:58] ActionParsnip2: but after updating the DB, it still the same :( [10:58] anybody please? [10:59] arnuld: try sudo in front of the command, just to test [10:59] ActionParsnip2: root is for *updating* the DB [11:00] xukun: Perhaps opening and playing several video files simultaneously? [11:00] to be honest, i've forgotten where my windows xp boot cd is [11:01] hi [11:01] :) [11:01] zzxxzz, I guess I could always do that [11:01] Hi i have installed ubuntu via wubi installer on a macbook it runs perfectly now.. if i want to boot i became a drdy error message...

[11:10] thx rww [11:11] JollyRoger: Still no luck? [11:11] could someone help me, please with a CLI commmand...? [11:11] Wakou | !ask [11:11] Wakou: what sort of CLI command? there are a few of them. [11:12] I would like to wipe a disk of everything EXCEPT media file and documents.... [11:12] tiyowan, nah it still wont work. [11:12] can i set volume from terminal? if so can i chain commands (im using kalarm to run a command after a specified time) is there another simple method to do this? [11:12] Wakou: Copy what you need to another disk, then wipe out everything. [11:12] lol.... [11:12] JollyRoger: Was it working breaking? [11:13] that url doesnt help me [11:13] Wakou: ? [11:13] No, just no sound at all. [11:13] I was hoping for a nifty CL command [11:13] JollyRoger: Doh. I meant, was it working before? [11:13] i have it set to the right config. my logitech headphones. [11:13] mr_boo [11:13] well until i installed ubuntu, lol yes. [11:13] (I don't know unix too well) but... [11:14] guys every time i install ubuntu its the same problem. is there a SIMPLE way of getting samba to work? the only way I got my ubuntu system to see windows shares was to install webmin and change the workgroup using it. I edited the smb.conf file manualy MANY times to change my workgroup but it never helps. now i see the other workgroup listed but i cant see any computers in it. there is another ubuntu server in that network acting as a fi [11:14] JollyRoger: Okay...hmm. Try typing "killall pulseaudio" from a teminal. Then check please. [11:14] DEL *.* -*.mp3, *.avi, *.doc sort of thing... [11:15] Wakou: man rm [11:15] wow, i have alot of crap outs of synergy client on my machine,, what does it mean when the process is marked "defunked" when i use ps aux | grep syn [11:15] Nothing happed. [11:15] i have to kill -9 the process as quicksynergy can't kill it when it's defunked like that. [11:16] or is it defunced? [11:16] ? that would give me the syntax for the rm command? [11:16] no first one i think [11:16] pulseaudio: no process killed [11:16] ... ty tiyowan..

[11:18] nah [11:19] i read the wikipedia-critics [11:19] hmm [11:19] not good. [11:19] 1 sec. [11:19] farnsworth_: skype's protocol is proprietary and heavily-obfuscated, so i doubt there's a good third-party client for it. [11:19] farnsworth_ - i use it all the time. its not as pretty as the windows version but worked 100% so far [11:20] well the test works fine. only after im done testing, i checked youtube and still no sound. [11:20] farnsworth_: Skype's code is closed-source. [11:20] so what the fu** i can do against this error [11:20] syberjj: yes, it works fine, but its closed and send encrypted date to $servers [11:20] how do i tell my ubuntu system to use another linux-swap partition as first choice? [11:20] farnsworth_: A GPL Skype client does not exist as of now. [11:21] hm ok [11:21] JollyRoger - its kind of complicated - flash doesnt use ALSA so it only allows one sound app at a time [11:21] JollyRoger: Um..do you get sound when you try to play MP3s? [11:21] JollyRoger: Because if you do, then that means that Flash is up to no good. [11:21] well i dont have any mp3's on here at the moment but i can try projectplaylist [11:21] JollyRoger, do you have libflashsupport on your system? [11:21] i cant seem to find a way to control volume through terminal, i need a command to set the master volume [11:22] JollyRoger - There is some way of installing flash the right way, dont remember it now though..

(without copying everything) [11:39] allsystemsarego, thanks [11:40] AltinT: Mount your Windows partition? [11:40] rww: apparently bitlbee is for IRC chat [11:40] tiyowan_:yes after i run in recovery mode and fixed the xconf [11:40] rww: i'm well acquainted with irssi so i'll stick with it [11:40] AltinT: You should see it when you click Places. [11:40] farnsworth_: ctrl+alt+2 isn't doing anything [11:40] rww: when I said universal i meant IRC, MSN... etc. [11:40] rww: one that does everything [11:41] Lunz: Ok...so what's the problem? [11:41] Tyrath: bitlbee is an IRC server that connects to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc., so you can talk to people on those networks from within your irc client [11:41] rww: I want to get as many progs as i can on shell to save memory [11:41] OhNos: f2 [11:41] tiyowan_:after i enable the restricted ati driver and reboot my monitor will out of range again.. [11:41] not 2 [11:41] rww: oh [11:42] Lunz: Hmm...could you explain what you mean by "out of range" please? [11:42] is it recommended to edit the /proc/swaps file? [11:42] I'm having trouble with Blender..after minimizing sometimes it doesn't restore when I try to! [11:42] mr_boo: you can't [11:42] mr_boo: Be careful. [11:42] Ubuntu 8.10 [11:43] tiyowan_:"Out of Range" pop up on my screen monitor and it goes blank after that [11:43] Gah keep getting random crashes on intrepid on my 1st gen Macbook. Machine just completly locks, can't move mouse or anything. Anyone else had similar problems? [11:43] Lunz: Ah gotcha. What card are you using? [11:43] mr_boo: /proc/swaps is a read only file, even for root. it is not a real file, it just read information from the kernel [11:44] tiyowan_:ati sapphire 256MB 9550 [11:44] tww6644: should i use the "swapon" command then instead? [11:44] tiyowan_: yes but every time i launch amarok, they need to reload, and it takes a lot of time ... any faster ways? [11:44] Lunz: Roger. Wait one, please. [11:44] !swap | mr_boo [11:44] mr_boo: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:44] mr_boo: yes, swapon/swapoff is for turning on/off swap [11:44] when someone has a minute I think I screwed my MBR [11:44] AltinT: Um, try another player? [11:44] tww6644: many thanks [11:45] tiyowan_: which ones are there [11:45] ? [11:45] tiyowan_:ok,and i cant run my compiz :(( [11:45] Is there a shortcut for System monitor? [11:45] AltinT: Well...look in Add/Remove Programs. [11:45] Kind of like Cntrl+Alt+Delet? [11:45] ctrl+est i think [11:45] esc* [11:46] wonder why that tut and others recommend making a swap file rather than assicoate a partition [11:46] farnsworth_: same, just sits there. my mouse can move though [11:46] Photoguy: try installing screenlets [11:46] Photoguy, you can define it with ubuntu-tweak [11:46] Screenlets? [11:46] Ok [11:46] Photoguy: yes screenlets, or gkrellm, conky [11:46] rww: when i first started it up it wouldn't work. it explained that there was a read/write permission flaw with a specific folder - i set u+rw for that folder and it still gives the same error :/ [11:47] does anyoneknows whether or not a Mobility 9200 is supported by fgrlx drivers [11:47] I can't boot XP via GRUB after I have just installed Ubuntu. Can anyone help me with this [11:48] DarkFuzion: i got a 9000 and it works (ati opensourcedrivers; shipped with ubuntu) [11:48] Tyrath: I remember needing to do some reconfiguration of it to get it to work right with Ubuntu. I'm about to go to sleep, though, and don't remember what I did. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bitlbee might help, maybe? [11:48] Lunz: Ok. Are you in recovery mode now? [11:48] what that [11:48] tiyowan_:yes [11:48] Lunz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:49] Lunz: Wait. [11:49] Tyrath: or just use one of the public bitlbee servers (see bitlbee's homepage) if you don't mind sending your login credentials to some random server [11:49] rww: thanks for the heads up. i'll give it a shot [11:49] farnsworth shipped with the cd? [11:49] DarkFuzion: just install ubuntu and i guess it will just works fine even in opengl [11:49] Lunz: Is your GUI started up now? [11:49] rww: also would you know how compatible it is with skype? [11:49] DarkFuzion: yes [11:49] no help for the Mulletar? [11:49] its included [11:49] yeah it works fine [11:49] imed est maitenaent est avec vous [11:49] tiyowan_:i already done that [11:49] rww: apparently it supports skype but i don't know if that means it allows me to make calls, etc. [11:49] how do i get compiz [11:49] im with you [11:49] Lunz: It doesn't work? [11:49] Skry^, how do I install doom? [11:50] tiyowan_:gui is working fine [11:50] imed you talking to me? [11:50] Tyrath: no idea, I don't use skype [11:50] yes of cours [11:50] if all keyboard shortcuts are doing nothing, I'll be forced to reboot won't I? [11:50] tiyowan_:but i am not using ati driver i think [11:50] Lunz: Are you using the ATI drivers right now? [11:50] DarkFuzion: sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome [11:50] Lunz: Check by going to System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers please. [11:50] tiyowan_:how to check whether i am using it or not? [11:50] I think that I told GRUB to install on my windows partition on my other disk and now I can't boot XP [11:51] tiyowan_:wait a sec [11:51] can i speak en french [11:51] Mulleter: Boot from a Win disc, go to the recovery console, and trype fixmbr. This'll wipe out GRUB. Then do a reinstall of GRUB from the LiveCD. [11:51] imed: no. If you want to speak in French, do it in #ubuntu-fr. [11:51] imed: you knwo that answer to that [11:51] I know spanish if that helps [11:51] imed: vas-au #ubuntu-fr, vas-y! [11:51] er, type.

It'll overwrite GRUB though. Wait one, please. [11:52] waiting [11:52] tiyowan_:if i enable it i have to reboot and my monitor will goes blank again "out of range" [11:53] imed: I've been to #ubuntu-fr before, and the help they give is much the same as here [11:53] imed: you won't be disappointed [11:53] hello ,how to record screencast in raw format.

[11:56] imed: right-click on the desktop, hit the bottom option on the menu that pops up ("Change Desktop Background" if you have Ubuntu configured to be in english), select an image from the window that pops up or click the + Add... button. [11:56] Lunz: When you activate the ATI drivers, they seem to set an incorrect monitor configuration in your xorg.conf file. That causes your monitor to go out of range. [11:56] My Network Manager after update : Device is unmanaged [11:57] HELP ME [11:57] Skry^, thanks a lot [11:57] tiyowan_:so how do i fic it?

[12:00] Mulletar: No worries, mate. :-) [12:00] hey guys [12:00] hey - my sound through totem has stopped working - but continues to work through vlc.... whats going on? [12:00] a lot of shit has gone wrong for me in the last 20 hours and this is one that I don't need but sounds like I can fix. [12:01] tiyowan_:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/86208/ [12:01] relik77080, sounds like totem is trying to use a diff sound card/system [12:01] im now in vm,and i like to go to partion D tha exite sur wine [12:01] Mulletar: I had to deal with a lot of issues when installing Ubuntu, too. At one point, I thought I'd wiped my 100 GB disk. But thankfully, I had not. [12:01] relik77080, I'd fiddle w/ totem options [12:01] r3dux: also sonbird crashes when i play a song (it has been stable so far) and I think is related [12:02] Ebtihaj [12:02] can anyone confirm if opera is gone from the partner repository? [12:02] http://www.olpc.blogsky.com [12:02] Lunz: Um...according to this, you're using the ATI drivers. [12:02] relik77080, I installed the 1.0.18 alsa to get sound working in the first place, then use asoundconf set-default-card to switch between onboard and external USB soundcards (because can't mute headphone w/ onboard) - try newest alsa [12:02] !beryl [12:02] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [12:03] im now in vm,and i like to go to partion D tha exite sur wine [12:03] help me [12:03] !compbiz [12:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about compbiz [12:03] im now in vm,and i like to go to partion D tha exite sur wine [12:03] !compiz [12:03] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [12:03] how do i make ubuntu join a windows network? [12:03] r3dux: but sound works through vlc just fine [12:03] I use compiz-fusion. It's still buggy. Using "fusion-icon" to reload window manager/decorators helps a bit [12:03] tiyowan_:ok but i think the resolution is too high?but it doesnt set my screen resolution [12:04] and nothing has been added or removed since yesterday when everything worked [12:04] frackn eye-candy... nice when it works, mostly a pain in the a$$ [12:04] Lunz: Are you in recovery mode now? [12:05] syberjj, what do you mean "windows network" [12:05] i just tested sound playback through the sound preferences - and theres seems to be a problem - it says connection refused [12:05] tiyowan_:yes,i did not reboot yet. i already enable the ati restricted driver if i reboot now my screen will goes blank because of out of range [12:05] i've given up on audacity.. are there other similar apps? [12:05] are they updating the opera package for 9.6? [12:05] hey does anyone use crossover for linux ? [12:05] pybe - i cant get ubuntu to join the same Domain as the windows boxes (for example WORKGROUP) [12:05] JollyRoger, I've tried it - why? [12:06] The results are not much better than the latest Wine to be honest. [12:06] nothing is ever easy is it tiyowan_? [12:06] well i just installed GTA SA with it and i need to replace the main exe file and i cant find the actual directory to let me do so lol. [12:06] is there a way to reset the sound server? [12:06] from the terminal? [12:06] Well my XP disk is at a friend's place so I guess that It'll have to wait eh? [12:06] justaquickquesti: if i recall right, its not in ubuntu repo but .deb from opera page works [12:06] Mulletar: Makes it fun. :-) [12:06] JollyRoger, It should usually be ~./whatever... [12:06] indeed [12:07] tiyowan_:any idea? [12:07] syberjj, do you want to join a workgroup or a domain? [12:07] Lunz: Okay. I want you to *activate* the ATI drivers, please. Ok? Then I need you to type a series of commands. Best if you note this down. [12:07] Well thanks again tiyowan_. I'll ttyl [12:07] justaquickquesti: i have 9.6 but i dont rememeber did i install it from repos or did i just got it from opera homepage [12:07] well i went to hom cxgames but i cant find the programs etc..etc.. folder [12:07] home* [12:07] tiyowan_:i am ready,shoot [12:07] relik77080, tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart ? [12:07] ok so my alsa drivers are working but pulse audio has died [12:07] simplexio: it was in the ubuntu partner repo (version 9.26), along with flash 10 [12:07] tiyowan_:already activate the ati driver [12:07] they removed it :/ [12:08] Lunz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm [12:08] join #ubuntu-fi-offtopic [12:08] pybe - in linux its called "domain name" and is set in administration>network>general>donain name. in windows its called Workgroup. i cant get the ubuntu box to join the workgroup called JUNG [12:08] Lunz: You'll go into text-mode okay? Don't panic. Just note down these cmds. [12:08] tiyowan_:ok [12:08] i cant figure out if the directory is hidden or what not :\ [12:09] r3dux: when i pick Alsa from the sound preferences - i get sound - but pulseaudo is refusing - is there an equivalent command to restart the pulse sound driver [12:09] Lunz: er, Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [12:09] relik77080, sorry mate - never used pulseaudio =/ [12:09] relik77080 - try running the program with AOSS in front of the command [12:09] i suspect a restart will fix this - but its really annoying [12:09] JollyRoger: if its prefixed with a . - its hidden [12:10] is there anyway i can view it ?? [12:10] JollyRoger: ls -a [12:10] ls -a ??? lol... [12:10] relik77080: id imagine you'd be playing in /etc/init.d/ [12:10] JollyRoger: yes, ls -a (all) [12:10] Nice one, syberjj - I'd never heard of aoss [12:10] relik77080: to start and stop stuff [12:11] is there a way to download individual updates at a time from all the available updates from one site?? [12:11] syberjj, do you have samba installed? [12:11] r3dux - i use it with wine to make wine programs use the alsa sound driver [12:11] ActionParsnip2: I'm sorry thats way over my head [12:11] i still have no clue how to view the directory with that lol... [12:11] relik77080: well you stopped pulse didnt you? [12:11] can someone please tell me whre i can change the application launchers hotkey? it's driving me crazy!!! it won't open with alt+f2 [12:11] pybe - yes. ive tried editing the workgroup throught the smb.conf to but it still didnt help... kinda desperate here i never get samba to work [12:12] syberjj: I'm aware of the aoss command - but have never needed it with native programs [12:12] JollyRoger: in terminal, navigate to the directory containing the possibly hidden folder / file [12:12] JollyRoger: and type ls -a [12:12] !shortcuts | Guest57830 [12:12] Guest57830: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [12:12] syberjj, is there a firewall on the box? [12:12] ActionParsnip2: I just switched the preferred sound device to alsa - but when i switch back to pulse the problem persists [12:12] pybe only way i got my ubuntu box to join the wokgroup i wanted was installing webmin and then changing the workgroup through it. but i dont want to isntall webmin again >.< [12:13] it just shows the same crap, nothing new when i enter the cxgames directory [12:13] syberjj, is there a firewall on the box? [12:13] !webmin | syberjj [12:13] syberjj: 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. [12:13] pybe - no no firewall [12:13] i've given up on audacity.. are there other similar apps? [12:13] ActionParsnip2 - read again what i said, I DONT want to use it lol [12:13] sigh.. [12:14] syberjj: sudo apt-get --purge remove webmin [12:14] ActionParsnip2: i tried that, but even if i change it, nothing happens (though the changemetnss are being saved) [12:14] syberjj: you can change it via ssh, [12:14] syberjj: your workgroup [12:14] syberjj, does your conf look like this http://pybe.pastebin.com/f2bf94c0c [12:15] actually i have another problem too - i use deluge to download torrents - occassionally when the downloads finish - I lose network connectivity - requiring a restart too - any ideas anyone? [12:15] syberjj: is it for samba sharing or just the pc in general? [12:16] actionparsnip2 pybe - my config is default since i dont want to create any shares on this PC, I changed the "workgroup = JUNG" but it still didnt help (used sudeo gedit ....smb.conf). I jsut want to be able to see all computers and the samba fileserver that are in the workgroup JUNG [12:16] relik77080, use ktorrent ;) [12:16] I hope Lunz isn't stuck in text-mode. :/ [12:17] im on gnome - and never really liked ktorrent when i tried it back on 7.10 [12:17] actionparsnip2 pybe - the "windows" workgroup JUNG [12:17] syberjj, can you paste your conf in pastebin.com [12:17] relik77080, seems okay to me, only used it since 8.10 tho [12:17] pybe k sec [12:18] Lunz: Hi. How's it going? [12:18] i've been using deluge for a while now - but this problem i'm having with is new === Guest57830 is now known as AltinT [12:18] syberjj: is it for the samba shares so the PC appears in the same workgroup? [12:18] I am having an issue with detection of my touchpad on Intrepid. Specifically 'tpconfig' properly returns finding a Synaptics Touchpad, but that's not being picked up anywhere. Its being shown in lshal as "ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse" or "Macintosh mouse button emulation". Both of those show up, but not the Synaptics touchpad. [12:18] relik77080, downgrade deluge (if you updated it)?

[12:20] what is 3G [12:20] wiki 3G [12:21] !3G [12:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3G [12:21] ActionParsnip2 - i have a workgroup called JUNG. in it are windows boxes and a ubuntu samba fileserver. I want to join the network JUNG with this new ubuntu box im adding to the group. i already tried changing that line do workgrou = JUNG but it didnt help, I was able to see the workgroup JUNG then but there were no other PCs in it [12:21] mobile internet? [12:21] tiyowan_: can you give me the command again [12:21] a workaround to the problem i've found is to disable moblock - and then reenable - but that seems like really odd behaviour [12:21] Lunz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Finally: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [12:22] syberjj, you need to edit it with the workgroup name and restart samba [12:22] From what I know, 3G is the third generation of mobile data services. [12:22] syberjj, http://pybe.pastebin.com/db4ad52f see the hilighted line [12:22] lol i tried running gta sa now all i have is a white screen that i cant get out of... [12:22] its in ubuntu promotional guff so I thought it might be obvious to some [12:22] yeah [12:22] pybe: i asked him if it was for samba loads :( [12:22] so it has mobile internet suport [12:22] k [12:22] relik77080, moblock... ahh Just looked it up. Used to have a stack of probs w/ peerguardian. Mostly it crashing 10 mins after I'd gone to bed, taking the torrent client down w/ it [12:22] that was my first guess [12:23] wow, i didnt expect this much trouble :\ [12:23] ActionParsnip2, loads? [12:23] pybe: lots of times [12:24] ActionParsnip2, i see. AFAICT he just wants to be able to browse the workgroup JUNG [12:24] Are machines on the JUNG workgroup set to share anything? If not... you'll see machines, but not access anything on 'em [12:25] pybe: oh, well he can. That will only change the workgroup his shares appear in if browsed from another comuter [12:25] pybe to restart samba is it enough to go to administration> services and unselect samba, close it, open it again, select samba and apply? [12:25] syberjj: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [12:25] syberjj, in console sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [12:25] lol [12:25] syberjj: that gui method is god slow [12:25] grins [12:26] actionparsnip2 yeah lol but i didnt remember the command... ok lets test now... [12:26] syberjj, all service type things are in /etc/init.d [12:27] i give up - think a restart is simply the easiest solution... as long as it actually works [12:27] hello, I'm using intrepid, I can't use other screens clt+alt+F1 to F7 [12:27] ActionParsnip2, I've put my NAS in fstab, but it won't auto-mount - I type "sudo mount -a" and it's happy after I've entered pass - would you happen to know how to make it mount 1st time w/ no shenanigans? === _jason is now known as jrib [12:28] tiyowan_:now the ati driver is not in use :(( [12:28] I'm about to install a new primary hard drive. Is there any way I can just ghost my old primary partition over to the new HD? [12:28] r3dux, add mount -a in rc.local and it should work [12:28] Soz - general question - not just to the Parsnip [12:28] tiyowan_:i am running on low graphic mode as no ati driver in use [12:29] r3dux: well the fstab is correct as you are only running mount -a, hmmm [12:29] pybe - I'll try that, thanks. [12:29] Lunz: Okay. So go to System -> Admin. -> Hardware Drivers -> Activate/enable them. Then try rebooting. [12:29] still nothing.... [12:29] r3dux: maybe the fstab is being read beofre the network comes up [12:29] tiyowan_:ok === Oli`` is now known as OliB{ [12:29] only change > workgroup is gone to now... === OliB{ is now known as Oli``B{ [12:29] syberj1, weird just done it here and its worked fine..... [12:29] r3dux: you could add an extra step to your bootup AFTER the lan has come up to run sudo mount -a [12:30] r3dux: which would then succeed [12:30] pybe - ill try it on my other box... [12:30] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [12:30] bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb [12:30] ActionParsnip2, yeah rc.local is ran last iirc [12:30] cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc [12:30] imed, stopit [12:30] im now in vm,and i like to go to partion D tha exite sur wine [12:31] how can i do [12:31] ActionParsnip2 - Good thinking about the timing... there's some folder where you put 56-do-this, 89-do-that... would that be the place to chuck a mount -a ? [12:31] imed, what vm [12:31] virtuel machine [12:31] r3dux: afaik, those are symlinks, so create the script someplace and symlink it appropriately [12:32] imed: ok what system is the VM running? === Fazavon is now known as jbeitler [12:32] r3dux, sudo nano /etc/rc.local and add mount -a before the exit 0 last line [12:32] r3dux, reboot and it should be fine [12:32] ubuntu versio (5,10) [12:33] pybe, not /etc/init.d/rc.local? I'll do it the way you suggest - difference? [12:33] imed: ok so you want a linux guest to be able to access the D: on a windows host system? [12:33] hello, the virtual consoles in Intrepid aren't working ?! [12:33] imed, i dont understand your situation. whats the host systems and vm software your using and what exactly are you trying to achieve [12:34] i've given up on audacity.. are there other similar apps for intrepid? [12:34] pengo: what you trying to achieve? [12:34] r3dux, dont know probably a symlink anyway, I have just always added it in /etc/rc.local .... [12:34] i would like to enter in partion D: [12:35] ActionParsnip2: edit audio files.. take out samples [12:35] imed, ubuntu doesnt have letter partitions it uses /dev/sda1 etc etc [12:35] from ubuntu to windowes (exactly to my data in D:) [12:35] imed: Don't you see your partitions when you click on Places?

[12:38] how come file roller doesnt have terminal command to unrar? [12:39] does wubi install grub or does it just use ntloader? [12:39] kelvin911: fileroller uses the unrar command from the unrar package [12:39] pybe ActionParsnip2 - thanks for the help but it didnt work. i did some googling and it seems samba has some problems with changing the workgroup to names in capital letters, may that be the problem? [12:39] r3dux, you dont need anything other than "mount -a" in the file (well i never have) [12:40] pybe - brilliant - many thanks :) [12:40] kelvin911: unrar is in the repositories, just install it in synaptic if you don't have it yet [12:40] syberj1, not on my box.... do all the computers have it as CAPS?

[12:44] or 7zip ? [12:44] vinnie_, mount them. For a NTFS drive you'd first create a folder to mount to (sudo mkdir /mnt/windows), then use sudo mound -t NTFS /mnt/windows /dev/sdXX where xx is sda1, sdb2 -- whatever your drive is [12:44] "sudo mount" [12:44] kelvin911: tar is just what is used more and rar isn't free [12:44] syberj2, can you ping and rsolve the etc?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:27] Jack_Sparrow; now i was just experimenting today with anjuta...found out that gcc-4.2 alone wont help it work and that even gcc is required...when we select anjuta to install....it selects only the version 4.2...so this causes problems in compilation.....so how do i know which packages are really necessary for installing a particular package [15:27] pengo: there must be a way! [15:27] outoftime: yeah. change to windows. [15:27] pengo: : \ [15:27] merci ubottu [15:27] DarkKnight I seldom compile anything .. but.. Build Dependencies: Most of the time you can install most build dependencies as in this example: sudo apt-get build-dep xvidcap , that will install all the -dev packages that the xvidcap package says it needs to compile [15:28] Jack_Sparrow; compile?? === ty is now known as themanwithaface [15:28] DarkKnight People chasing dependencies are usually compiling something [15:28] hello [15:29] sup [15:29] thank you [15:29] outoftime: it's one of the main reason i'm planning to switch back after a year+ of ubuntu.. but admittedly i haven't looked much for a solution [15:29] this complement is very usefull [15:29] Jack_Sparrow; does it take time.... [15:29] pengo: i was actually able to do that just fine with ubuntu on a macbook - the Nvidia settings panel made it possible to mirror the displays while using the external display's resolution (so the laptop monitor had a subset of the external, which had the desired effect) [15:29] DarkKnight synaptic has the info you may want in one of the tabs === ty is now known as themanwithaface [15:29] pengo: but my new thinkpad doesn't have an Nvidia driver [15:29] Running Synergy on Ubuntu clears our server hostname each time I restart the machine.

Just now I got my soundcard to work but then i noticed my wireless was not functional. A restart and now it's vice versa: network is ok but no sound...this must be some elaborate prank. Ha ha, very funny [15:31] Jack_Sparrow; through Synaptic..i install anjuta...it shows that it one of its dependencies is the gcc-4.2.....but even gcc is required...so such similar problem may occur with other packages [15:31] is there any way I can invoke the network configuration script used during the ubuntu installation, but in an already running installation of ubuntu? [15:32] outoftime|brb: hmm yep i have a thinkpad (with intel video) also. [15:32] for reconfiguration of the network [15:32] Hi people. I have issue with my gnome-powermanager -- Can I reinstall it?

But - when masq, we lose the Client's original IP address, as it is masked with that of the Ap [16:03] Guiri: Are you using KDE or OpenBox?

[16:03] Stormx2: ps aux | grep pulseaudio, then kill -9 the pid :P [16:03] rrohde, ok I follow you so far, your clients can associate to the AP, and they get an IP, and they can get to the internet. now what is the issue? [16:03] Pici - Openbox right now. I have Openbox isntalled on Kubuntu and can select the session at the KDM. But I want pypanel to load with openbox somehow [16:03] could someone tell me whats wrong with my date syntax mysqldump -u root -p -h xxxxx.com --all-databases > /Volumes/Backup/mysqldump_%Y%m%d.sql .

[16:04] hwilde: thank you [16:04] well, i'm back [16:04] hwilde: the issue is that in doing so, we are not getting the actual client IP address. Instead we get the IP addy of the AP, as the AP masquerades them. We would like to have the same effect for the client getting to the internet, but with the client keeping his initial IP so we can work with it [16:05] rebooting had no effect. [16:05] rrohde, but that's not how your AP works [16:05] is there any sort of repository of general ubuntu tips/tricks/whatever?

[16:07] \\`oot; avant-window-navigator is the actual command name and it should be installed in /usr/bin/ if you installed from the repo's [16:07] hwilde: the client IP is being routed through a proxy, which displays some info on the client's browser before he reaches the internet [16:07] hwilde; I thought that what is was - but was not certain.

[16:08] hwilde: actually, someone else said to reboot the computer a few minutes ago, so i did, with no change. is that what you meant or do you want me to turn the printer off/on [16:08] yaaar, can anyone else print? [16:09] sometimes our printers lock up and then I reboot it and it works [16:09] i mean, like, does it just cover basic stuff like redirecting and pipes, or does it get into tricky stuff like editing xorg.conf and the like? [16:09] hwilde; So If what I'm looking at with this command - it gives me a list of all the different shell commands I've ever used - correct? [16:09] I've a feisty box installed, which hasn't been update for a while. Now when I try "apt-get update" it fails with several 404.

[16:09] hwilde: there's no one else (and no other computers) here [16:09] nite_johnboy, yep. and you can execute them with !495 or whatever line number. just put the ! in front. you can also do like !h and it will match the last command that started with h [16:10] Veinor, I didn't memorize the entire books. they cover lots of stuff.

[16:25] xeaio FYI, consider wubi more of a test drive than something for everyday use.. Before you go to all of this trouble , you should read about wubi installs, what they are and how they differ from a real partition install [16:25] Hello.

[16:38] L3Tum: vim-gnome is the package name [16:38] yeah, all computers have static IPs [16:38] Guiri, have you tried googling about your question ? [16:38] yeah. doing so now and not finding much. Seems like a simple syntax error [16:38] zenit:yeah, all computers have static IPs [16:38] Guiri, what question [16:38] hwilde: i want to force ubuntu to use my /dev/sdb1 partition instead of my /dev/sda3 for swapping [16:38] jtanner, do you happen to know the difference in the gnome one and the gtk one? I have gnome gtk+2 [16:38] gghghgthghh [16:38] gasmask: I would check first the default gateway, then dns. [16:38] mr_boo, that is in /etc/fstab [16:39] bazhang: I'm trying to figure out how to add pypanel and conky to load to my /usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop [16:39] hi =D [16:39] to load them at boot [16:39] hwilde: in fact, i've got two swap partitions [16:39] L3Tum: gtk = gnome [16:39] hwilde: one created later by myself [16:39] hwilde :: actually itz detecting as a cdrom device ...it has a in built mass storage to store the windows drivers ....i googled it ..but i couldint find a solution for that ... [16:39] Guiri, this is using xubuntu? [16:39] I have ubuntu 8.10 on a dell inspiron e1505/6400 and the screen doesn't turn off when I close the lid [16:39] hwilde: now i want to convince ubuntu to suddenly use this new swap drive [16:39] zenit: would you still be able to access the LAN if that was the problem, and if so, were is the conf. file? [16:39] "a. Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only). - thats a read-only connection (its auto). You can only edit it when you rename the connection otherwise the above error will show." from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7. How can I rename the connection? [16:39] No, the base install is kubuntu but it shouldn't matter - the sessions are all stored in /usr/share/xsessions [16:40] mr_boo Perhaps in /etc/fstab [16:40] gotta try [16:40] gasmask: yes, you would still be able to access the lan, but not Internet. [16:40] Failing that, how can I use the old GNOME Network dialog to configure connections? This obviously isn't working [16:40] hope its recommended to edit fstab === ding is now known as viezerd [16:41] gasmask: not sure if you use network manager, or the traditional way. Anyway, dns is set in /etc/resolv.conf, netstat -rn will show the routing table. Look at destination 0.0.0.0. [16:41] uh I am new to linux and its derivatives..I have xubuntu installed 8.0.4 now the problem I am facing in that I installed xchat from a site..any idea how ot install it without again making the add/remove manager to download it? [16:41] mr_boo, that is in /etc/fstab [16:41] i already can change with "swapon" and "swapoff" but that's not a permanent solution [16:41] gasmask: if you configure network the traditional way, then look in /etc/network/interfaces [16:42] i have a co-admin on my box running these three commands :: COMMAND=/usr/bin/gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy COMMAND=/usr/bin/gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/host COMMAND=/usr/bin/gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/port :: what is their account doing? [16:42] bastid_raZor: Looks like they are looking up values from gconf [16:42] Guiri, dont know much about openbox config; I had tried something like that with lxde (ie conky) and had a bit of luck [16:42] any suggestings for my problem? [16:43] Andy_-> being new to linux, why do you attempt to do things differently? why not follow the accepted procedure? [16:43] this is my fstab, http://pastebin.com/m433cb313 [16:43] Andy_, DO NOT download anything, just use package manager: sudo apt-get install xchat [16:43] ah thank you i will try that [16:43] Pici; this seems to be done at exactly the same time daily and run in succession, [16:43] hey... I'm trying to make a quick graphical installer for some software, I just need it to copy some files to various spots in a user's home directory, and there are some really large files, so it needs a progress bar... anyone know some installer software that is well suited for my needs? [16:43] something similiar to vmware-installer but that is free for me to use [16:43] n8user ..i try things differently to know them and wel..if i already DL'ed it why would i want the manager to do it again? [16:43] zenit: destination 0.0.0.0. has a gateway of my router with flags of UG. Also, /etc/network/interfaces looks to be configured correctly... [16:44] hey just wondering.... im trying to put a folder in my /usr/shared/sounds folder and it says i dont have permission to do that .... [16:44] bastid_raZor: Are you sure they are running that manually? It may be a program requesting those gconf keys in an odd manner. [16:44] gasmask: that sounds correct, how about dns? [16:44] okay so i wont download anything manually [16:44] but now i want to update my mozilla [16:44] its using 3.0.0 [16:45] greetings! [16:45] gasmask-> can you elaborate on your network layout? which box and ip address can not get to the Internet? [16:45] ho [16:45] hwilde: sorry for bothering you further but do you think i could just exchange the text "/dev/sda3" with my desired "/dev/sdb1"? [16:45] I have a quick question regarding Ubuntu as part of a Xen setup (domU) [16:45] Andy_ It is much safer to stick with the versions in our repos [16:45] hwilde: in my fstab, http://pastebin.com/m433cb313 [16:45] sudo apt-get install mozilla? will that update my mozilla? [16:45] Pici; i don't think they are doing it manually no, i just don't know what it is their account is doing.. as far as i know they hardly ever login to this box which is why i am confused by this. [16:46] Andy_-> i suggest you read up a book on ubuntu or linux in general, to get you acclimated [16:46] yeah ia m already reading tuts.. [16:46] gusty wiki [16:46] what is that killspkr command actually? [16:46] any thanks for your help... [16:46] anyway* [16:47] Andy_-> it will only update up to the latest supported version in the repository, sometimes repository does not have the latest version, at it requires testing (and takes time) [16:47] amortvigil; most commands have a man page.. man commandname [16:47] mr_boo, you sure. worst that can happen is you reboot with no swap and switch it back [16:47] I still can't get this network to work. the "ifupdown (eth0)" device listed in System>Preferences>Network is malconfigured, I CAN'T edit it, I can't delete it. Adding another config does nothing. I'm completely stumped. Any ideas? [16:47] so i haven't had sound since some early update of intrepid [16:47] it worked after install, it still works if i boot the livecd [16:47] bastid_raZor: you funny guy:P if you knew the command youd saw id spell it wrong... [16:47] hwilde: my biggest concern is the gooey after "/dev/sda3" [16:48] worked fine in previous versions also [16:48] Stormx2 -> can you elaborate on your network layout? whats connected to which? [16:48] what could be the problem? [16:48] bastid_raZor: They might have a proxy setup to browse the web.. [16:48] mr_boo, oh you need the UUID [16:48] there is a way to find the UUID of a /dev/sdb1 [16:48] let me remember [16:48] ah...and ..i like want ot have this software installed and its most probably not on the list..i can download it..and in windows it used ot have a start.exe to run..so i can get the .tar file and again how would i execute it? bte its a game bot [16:49] n8tuser, one ethernet card, eth0. wired up to the router. I don't care if it's DHCP or static. I can ping stuff but not resolve addresses, because there is no default nameserver defined. I can't define it, it says it's read only. Also the netmask has mysteriously been set to "4". My brother plugged his phone in yesterday evening and BAM! this happened. [16:49] hwilde :: my usb modem has a mass storage and modem .....its detecting only mass storage ...in dmesg too .. [16:49] !uuid [16:49] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [16:49] mr_boo, sudo blkid [16:49] what's a good multi-page TIFF viewer? I couldn't find ghfaxviewer for alternate-amd64 [16:49] hwilde: i realize now that the UUID thing is smart, since the device name might change from time to time [16:49] bhasu_, sry I dunno, buy a supported modem ? [16:50] n8tuser: np, I have a central fileserver located at 192.xxx.xxx.90, it was setup with a static IP via /etc/network/interfaces. comparing the interfaces file with another computer that can access the internet, the only difference is that the file server has entries for "network" and "broadcast" that the working one doesn't... [16:50] hwilde: many, many thanks [16:50] mr_boo, sudo blkid you should get somethin like /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="5c60b197-d30d-402d-b6ec-89b9a034649e" [16:50] Stormx2-> post in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf; ifconfig results; route -n results === eric is now known as Guest88379 [16:50] n8tuser, k. one mo [16:51] gasmask-> is this fileserver on same subnet as the one thats working? what is the ip address of the one working and the one that does not?

[17:03] "Resize operation failure" [17:03] The_Joe_-> also do not attempt to fiddle with the network ethernet or wireless, it can hang you system too while you are repartitioning [17:03] Seveas, Nothing now [17:03] ah, probably disk too full to resize :) [17:04] n8tuser, Nono I'm not installing on this PC [17:04] help me i need glibc 2.2 [17:05] Seveas, Well - I'd best check I didn't lose any photos [17:05] apt-get install build-essential [17:05] hello [17:05] greetings all [17:05] The_Joe_-> just an fyi, thats all..

You're probably installing a closed source or badly packaged piece of c++ software asking for compatibility libraries [17:05] Question: I am getting a strange error while trying to install the Virtualbox 2.0 Debian package. It says something about dependency, libqt4-network [17:06] BUT libqt4-network is already the newest package [17:06] I'd best do a full backup and format next time [17:06] what gives? [17:06] Thanks for the reassurance [17:07] xeaio, sending unsollicited pm is bad behaviour. Sending unintelligible pm helps even less :) [17:08] sim_astro === `Chris is now known as Chrizlja [17:08] Seveas; help me then normal it can with app get or something apt get cuz i did before [17:09] xeaio, err, that sentence does not parse...

[17:10] I am on the track now [17:10] So, can anyone tell me what's wrong? Why is Virtualbox 2.0 failing to install? [17:10] !vbox [17:10] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[17:15] Is there any way to set properties for a user account using the terminal? [17:15] does screen rotation always require a square screen? [17:16] Tetracomm: What sort of properties? [17:16] LuYu: No. [17:16] hi, i'm searching for a channel where i can talk about aerodinamic [17:16] Why does the ubuntu updater try to use all of my cpu at times when I need the cpu for something else, like Firefox? [17:16] fermio91: Maybe ##physics [17:16] <_phoenix_1> anyone here? [17:17] why is it then that i ubuntu rotates a square section of the screen with a width that is equal to the height [17:17] Pici: thank you [17:17] LuYu: What graphics card have you got? === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx [17:17] its an XO [17:17] geode?

[17:19] cause when i tried the 3D desktop, it was fixed to a square as well [17:19] yeah [17:19] but that cant be the problem [17:19] because in sugar, the rotation works properly [17:19] and im using the OLPC kernel and modules [17:19] so, why is it that sugar can do it and gnome cant? [17:19] LuYu: Try asking in Ubuntu forums, this might be a complicated issue [17:19] or X, i guess [17:19] LuYu: Screen rotation is not Compiz [17:20] Tetracomm: You should just have to add them to the 'fuse' group, use the adduser command for that [17:20] i was just giving compiz as an example of a similar problem === dtoff is now known as dtcrshr [17:20] LuYu: Are you trying to rotate the image on the screen or enable desktop effects? [17:20] Pici: Rotate the image [17:20] <_phoenix_1> the pacet secvpn is broken but i need it tomorrow [17:21] LuYu only said that she had a similar problem with desktop effects too [17:21] im a he [17:21] <_phoenix_1> its very urgent [17:21] LuYu: ok [17:21] :) [17:22] just because there arent enough women in linux doesnt mean im switching sides [17:22] :) [17:22] Pici: How do I use adduser to do that? [17:22] How do I run fsck on a reiserfs root partition? [17:22] _phoenix_1: It doesn't look like that package is going to be fixed, so I suggest you find an alternative. [17:23] Tetracomm: sudo adduser theusername fuse [17:23] Buster_Hymen: try fsck.reiserfs [17:23] FreeFull: thanks. should i run that as sudo? [17:23] Buster_Hymen: You shouldn't fsck with the partition being mounted read-write [17:24] FreeFull: oh, should i run it from a livecd instead? [17:24] Buster_Hymen: Yes, and don't mount the partition. [17:24] FreeFull: will do. thank you! [17:24] anyway, should i just set the screen size to 1200x1200 or what? [17:24] LuYu: How are you trying to rotate the screen? [17:25] Buster_Hymen: Before you restart, you can use the mount command to check what the partition name in /dev is [17:25] with the OLPC's rotate button [17:25] :) [17:25] it works now with intrepid [17:25] FreeFull: okay. what's the full syntax of the command ... just "mount" ? [17:25] Buster_Hymen: just mount [17:25] sweet. thank you! [17:26] is there a gui network tool that will boot the IP address you want @ boot? I mean, it only boots now when I log in, and it's only remembering the DHCP one. I can't get it to keep a static IP (I need static -- this is a server) [17:26] my guess is that i need to create some sort of rotated screen entry in xorg.conf [17:26] I know how to ifconfg eth$ ip$ && route add default gw $gw etc... but. I was hoping there was a gui tool to do this. [17:26] anyone here familiar w/ Audible Magic [17:27] but i havent the slightest idea about that, though, since i have never bothered before [17:27] LuYu, what do you need help with [17:27] trae: /etc/network/interfaces [17:28] trae: man interfaces [17:28] in other words there's no gui tool [17:28] no [17:28] this is linux [17:28] i need to know, when working with screen rotation, do i need a separate entry in xorg.conf for the rotated screen so that it rotates the whole screen and not a square section with width equalling height [17:28] why would you want a gui [17:28] gjgeateuias [17:29] i need to run the kio slave for some a choice few kde apps, what is the min required apps to get the kio slave to function?

[17:30] trae: I don't believe there is one to do it at boot, no.

[17:41] Pici: I did that and I still can't access my player without running Nautilus as root. [17:41] erUSUL: ok but acpi does not show me frequency at guidance power manager. maybe because it is old laptop, old apm works better. it is compaq nx9020 of 2005 [17:41] <_phoenix_1> how do i get a old version of secvpn?

But the Wiki said to fix it *in* Windows, [18:29] recon69: awww... i hate that [18:29] onetinsoldier: well I have indeed broken it in the past and fixed as well, now how was it... are you doing the sudo part somewhere? [18:30] that would be a last resort [18:30] klimy: you can get into windows tho? you boot into it? [18:30] klimy: its just a guess, the problem might be simple, but still could take you months to find the fix [18:30] onetinsoldier: yeah it works for like 5-10 min [18:30] then i do not hear any activity from my drive [18:31] klimy: ok, while in there, start up a command prompt, then type in chkdsk /F [18:31] but i could copy like 60 gig from that disk... so i have a backup [18:31] onetinsoldier: did that ;).. it states everything ok.. at least the second time [18:31] klimy: i don't know then, sorry [18:32] ok.

[19:04] unsure why. [19:04] your name is inappropriate [19:05] iso50: Because windows is a little picky on hardware changes, and a VM is like being on a new machine, I'd just go with a fresh install of windows within the VM [19:05] hi, im writing #!/bin/sh script and i was wondering if i can stop executing script in middle as root and continue as normal user [19:05] kurrata: put in an su command [19:05] kurrata, sure - use sudo [19:05] eds: you might just try... ifup eth0 [19:05] kurrata, sudo -u username 'command' # i believe [19:06] fm [19:06] k will try it [19:06] kurrata, you are already root in the script? then just su [19:07] hwilde, that would present an interactive shell, no?

[19:18] Slart_: i didn't use the programs yet [19:19] denstark, it shouldn't prompt you for a login [19:19] cris_core and herrP: i take it the 'green light' is a reference to the Synaptic Package Manager [19:19] cristi: I haven't tried it yet.. I will have to stop all my torrents and unmount the drive.. I'll try it some other day [19:19] how do I run EnvyNG? [19:19] hwilde: Hrm. I'll try rebooting then [19:19] onetinsoldier, reference to the restricted driver popup [19:19] denstark, if it prompts try "ubuntu" [19:19] hwilde: ahh, i see now [19:20] onetinsoldier, i'm pretty sure you hav to activate then reboot [19:20] cris_core: It should be available in the menus, for me it was under "Program->System utilites" or something similar. [19:20] hwilde: Okay, will try after this finishes rebooting [19:20] Slart_: eh thank's a lot for the help anyway [19:21] cristi: you're welcome [19:21] hwilde: sounds right to me, believe i had to reboot for that one. and anytime i install something like the ati fglrx driver, i reboot [19:21] onetinsoldier, then the light will turn green indicating its in use [19:21] Hello!

Any suggestions? [19:37] whats the best way to move my windows data off of a drive and onto a spare hd so I can dual boot ubuntu and xp? [19:37] Where can i enable universe repository? [19:38] cris_core: you can use the Synaptic Package Manager to do it, it's in it's options... [19:38] hendrixski: they all do [19:38] hendrixski: but if you're talking about a flash based cms, you're out of luck, if you wanted something like that, it would probably come from adobe [19:39] cris_core: Actually I had trouble too installing the drivers (solved it by using ENvy). I later had to reinstall Intrepid for another reason and then it worked just fine without Envy. [19:39] cris_core: do you know where ot start up the synaptic package manager? [19:39] crackintosh, orly? Are there any that have kind of an adminstrative interface for interchanging a little flash snippet === danopia_ is now known as danopia [19:39] is there a reason I cannot "su" in ubuntu? [19:39] yeah, a flash-based cms would be a nightmare... I'm just looking for one, it can be php,phython, java whatever [19:40] Yes, i have it open now. [19:40] you arent going to find any that have flash administration [19:40] Demios: Use sudo for root access, not su. [19:40] !sudo > Demios [19:40] Demios, please see my private message [19:40] can somebody tell me how to start a vnc server on my secondary display? [19:40] Demios, yes. Because you can use "su", but you have to enable with with some sudo -i command [19:40] cris_core: ok.. orger that. it's.... Settings --> Repositories [19:40] hendrixski: pardon? [19:41] Hi. I am trying to run ClamAV (clamdscan) on a mounted drive and am getting: kernel ... type=1503 audit(...): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" fsuid=112 name="/mnt/disk/" pid=... profile="/usr/sbin/clamd" [19:41] Ok, I'm there, but where is the universe setting? [19:41] What does it mean? [19:41] crackintosh, :-( that's bad news, I hate flash, but we gotta have this one thing done in flash, and we'd have to swap it out every now and then [19:41] Demios, you can use "su" in ubuntu, it's just not enabled by default because it's bad practice [19:41] hi - I just destroid my apt-get :-( I ran a dpkg -i sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx-legacy_71.86.04+2.6.24.14-21.51_i386.deb and now I cannot do anything - no apt-get update because of unfilled dependencies ? [19:42] cris_core: it's probably already activated... Community-maintained open-source software [19:42] oh ok, yes it is [19:43] Can I set gnome-terminal up to not wrap lines, just to truncate em? [19:43] I still can't find envy [19:43] cris_core: ok, just had to be certain. now why envy wouldn't showing up for you i'm not sure. you have updated the package list(reload), correct? [19:43] hendrixski: bad practice on a single user machine, in which the owner does not want to logout to term before being able to do concurrent root/admin stuff? [19:43] hendrixski: send me a /msg and show me what it is [19:44] Yes [19:44] Demios: You don't have to logout to use sudo. [19:44] i know that [19:44] i'm tired of typing sudo befor every command [19:44] and having to input my pass word every now and then [19:44] Demios: sudo -i will give you an interactive sudo session, akin to using su on other Linux distros. [19:44] Demios: sudo -s [19:44] i just want to su, get a boatload done and be done with it [19:44] Demios: use... sudo -i then [19:45] alright then [19:45] thanks [19:45] Stormx2: -i is friendlier to your users files.

Anyone have any tips? or a link to a "sort your hardy audio out"? [19:52] after it's done, then what do you do? [19:52] cris_core: Good, when it's done.

Can someone suggest how I troublehoot this please? [20:09] on ubuntu netbook remix, there's 'evolution' - seems a bit unnecessary. Can it be got rid of with no untoward effects?

[20:12] turns out it was working, i'm just not smart enough to recognize it ;-) [20:12] no, it worked [20:12] thnak you [20:12] now i realized that X11 forwarding isn't going to do the job [20:12] so i'm trying to shoehorn vnc into the old fedora machine [20:12] is it just broken? (i appriciate it is closed source and not ubuntus fault...) [20:12] Turtle2: yw [20:12] i'm just staying in here for the company =) [20:12] what do I use to learn Java programming?

[20:43] ward: nothing [20:43] I did but it didn't help. They all seem to rely on OpenGL in one way or another. [20:43] fep, what card is it? [20:43] HenryHeron: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes === elementz_ is now known as elementz [20:44] fep, also you can use tab completion for nicknames in most IRC clients, so to get my nick you would have to type the first few letters, and then press tab [20:45] it is a broadcom card [20:45] i know that (: [20:45] fep, War "tab" will automatically create Ward1983, etc [20:45] fosco_ Thanks again. One other quick ? I am on dial up & now use GnomePPP, is there some equivalent in 8.10, I didn't see any in the "live CD."? [20:45] im looking for a download manager that downloads from multiple sources, suggestions? === TheOther is now known as Tinyboom [20:45] i didnt bother to write with capslock [20:45] fep, lol i thought you didnt know that because you just called me ward and then didnt highlight me at all :p [20:46] right [20:46] phantomcircuit, wget [20:46] have you seen my question? [20:46] any ideas? [20:46] fep, ah damn dont have any experience with broadcom cards sorry [20:46] ok [20:46] HenryHeron: no idea [20:46] ola [20:46] fep, some cards have restricted drivers, you could check just to make sure in system -> administration -> hardware drivers [20:47] j_bsdxinu, wget supports downloading a single file from multiple sources? [20:47] damn it [20:47] fosco_ Ok, thanks anyway. I do have to find out or I will be w/o means to connect to i.n.

[20:48] yo [20:48] <__dan__> I enabled the intrepid-proposed repos, did an update+upgrade, tested some stuff, but now I'd like to "downgrade" my packages back to just -updates. I already removed -proposed from the sources list, but how to I force reverting back to the -updates version of the packages? [20:48] phantomcircuit: p2p like bittorrent? [20:49] buenas noches [20:49] lol [20:49] __dan__: there's a "force-version" in synaptic. [20:49] alguien de andalucia [20:49] whyameye, http/ftp same file more than one mirror, but each mirror limits download rates to 200kbps and at that rate ill be done some time next week [20:49] hey all i'm having a problem with ICEauthority. After I log in i get a prompt saying that it could not update. I have tryed chown but it didn't do anything. [20:49] fer: You need to speak english. [20:50] __dan__, painfully? basically, you have to remove the packages first, then change your sources, and reinstall packages from your preferred repo. Or you can force a package version [20:51] fer: Inglés solamente aquí. Español adentro #ubuntu-es [20:51] GleepGlop, __dan__: I've definitely downgraded stuff with "force version" in synaptic. Shouldn't be necessary to manually uninstall, reinstall.

[20:53] <__dan__> whyameye: OK, do I have to track down each package, or can I just say "do it for all packages that have versions greater than in my current repos"? Probably asking for too much :) [20:53] nicklas_: it looks nice, but arch linux w/ the eeekernel from toofishes is real good too [20:54] is it possible to enable splash screen during boot without using initrd? [20:54] ruhaan_jslip, so there isn't a replacement for flashget that is native? [20:54] GleepGlop: ok, why? [20:54] phantomcircuit: U CUD TRy multiget [20:54] nicklas_: faster, all packages compiled for i686 instead of i386 [20:55] __dan__: I've only done indiv packages so that's the only way I know of. :-( [20:55] nicklas_: plus it just installs the package manager and kernel. no bloated gnome and ume [20:55] can I install ubuntu server into the ubuntu desktop version? [20:55] !ot > GleepGlop nicklas_ [20:55] GleepGlop, please see my private message [20:55] <__dan__> whyameye: gotcha, thanks [20:55] Turtle2: no but i can install the packages [20:55] *u [20:56] GleepGlop: but maybe i want a little bling bling :-P [20:56] will it work the same? [20:56] <__dan__> whyameye: do you know how long until my install -proposed packages "become" part of -updates? (approx) [20:56] nicklas_ Offtopic.. thanks [20:56] Turtle2: yep pretty much [20:56] I don't get it. [20:56] ruhaan_jslip, which packages? === nainbieromiam is now known as nainbierophile [20:56] hmm depends [20:56] what are u looking to install? [20:56] I want to set audio files to open in xmms and video files to open in totem, but I can't figure out how it works in Preferred Applications [20:57] a php server? [20:57] __dan__: no idea. It might be worth looking at the filters in synaptic and seeing if you can filter packages by which repo they came from. [20:57] Jack_Sparrow: huh? [20:57] a basic web server , just to learn the basics [20:57] It gives me the option to, as far as I can tell, open all media files in totem or rhythmbox, but that's all [20:57] Turtle2: if u r doin it for learnig u can install xampp [20:58] juhaan_jslip, i want to learn how to make a web page and serve it etc...

Everything else is fine its just the title bar is gone [21:04] JugglerLKR: cheap usb ..otherwise I might just plug this in via p/s2 [21:04] I have a Logitech mx518, and i works perfectly. [21:04] dva5912, i believe im having the same problem with a few programs myself [21:04] zenit: are you on 8.10? [21:04] is it there but like the words are not printed? [21:04] Hi, how do I make mouse buttonmapping in HAL? [21:04] JugglerLKR: yes [21:04] zenit: tilit left and right works? [21:05] tvaughn: no its totlay gone. I have to use the menu bar to close it out. Doesnt seem to have effected any other programs though [21:05] JugglerLKR: tilt? There is not tilt on it. [21:05] oh cause im having a problem with open office spreadsheet [21:05] -t [21:05] Hi folks [21:06] zenit: ok, buttons near wheel works? [21:06] tvaughn: im using that right now and its fine [21:06] and also amarok [21:06] Anyone up for a dual-head fglrx/compiz question? [21:06] maybe my graphics driver? [21:06] !anyone | gnice [21:06] gnice: 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? [21:06] will a screenshot show it? [21:06] tvaughn: ok i think ive jinxed it. Nautlius just opend a window and it did the same thing fire fox did [21:06] JugglerLKR: yes, but those set the sensitivity in hardware. I don't use the button on top, it's hardly accessible. [21:07] hi everyone: I'm using interpid and I am missing a package wich provides /usr/bin/bluepin. Please help [21:07] thx - was just being polite and was not sure what the head-count was like in here.. [21:07] im not having a problem with amarok anymore either [21:07] thesuliban1980: http://packages.ubuntu.com [21:08] zenit: try running xev and see if 3 buttons around wheel producing any events [21:08] is there a media player that can sync ipod touches for linux? [21:08] zenit: if they don't - your mouse is not fully working, just like others in 8.10 [21:09] i guess the update fixed my problem [21:09] thanks, but that was not, what I ment, I rather ment, that apt-file search bluepin brings no result [21:09] hi guys, anyone could give me a hand, I try to get http streaming to work in amarok, but i constantly get, no decoder found, what decoder should I install? [21:09] I am having issues getting my secondary display running at it's native resolution of 1650x1050 as a secondary display. [21:09] b [21:10] This is bizarre and I can't figure out what causes it. Sometimes I repeatedly click in a text input box, just out of habit [21:10] except ubuntu has a strange habit of pasting my copied text into the text input box [21:10] This would be an extremely useful feature if I could get it to work reliably [21:10] JugglerLKR: looks like they don't produce any events. However, I am not sure if the sensitivity buttons are meant to produce any events. [21:11] zenit: then what about third button near wheel? [21:11] I accidentally deleted a folder that I didn't want to. It is not in thetrash.I immediately turned off my computer. is there any recovery software I can use to recover this data relatively easily? [21:12] zenit: does sensitivity of your mouse change when you push + and - buttons, btw? [21:12] i have a problem with amarok [21:12] where it changes teh name of the song [21:12] I'm having some problems running ubuntu in normal mode on my computer. after I try to log in, the screen goes black, the mouse cursors turns into the loading one, and stays stuck without any animation, though the mouse will still move. [21:12] can any1 help? [21:12] Hello. After viewing a Flash file via Firefox (.swf), my system wide audio seems to have died. How do I "Reboot" my audio? [21:12] JugglerLKR: of course, it's done in hw. But the third button doesn't produce any event. [21:12] I figure it's a problem with my graphics controller [21:13] I installed ubuntu 7.10 from a live CD [21:13] hi [21:13] JugglerLKR: however I know that in windows you can get more sensitivity levels with those buttons, with software support. [21:13] Can someone help me identify my wireless adapter? http://paste.ubuntu.com/86540/ [21:13] jaggy_: dpkg -S, -C, or -L /usr/bin/bluepin [21:13] jaggy_: er, ignore that [21:13] thesuliban1980: dpkg -S, -C, or -L /usr/bin/bluepin [21:13] so I went today to install mailman which requires python... apt-get update now fails for me (I'm running feisty) and gives a bunch of 404s. After some searching around, I cannot find feisty on any of the dist sites anymore?? Am I just completely screwed now? [21:14] thesuliban1980: (one of those will do it) [21:14] hi! how to skip disk checking on starup (fschk)? Thank You! [21:14] zenit: so - third button is not working for you too, no matter you use it or not. and that's a problem [21:14] jmalis: man fstab [21:14] oh oops [21:14] How do I restore sound lost after viewing Flash Video? [21:15] it's 8.10 [21:15] thanks again... but seams, as if no package at all provides this file [21:15] thank you [21:15] zenit: my G5 missed sensitivity setting, and my ultrax mouse tilt wheel doesn't work - that's bad [21:15] Anyone know how to configure a dual-head config with different resolutions using fglrx? [21:15] zenit: and worst - noone can help me with that [21:15] JugglerLKR: I guess it is. But I am not so sure that it is Ubuntu-specific. [21:16] thesuliban1980: oh...then how did you get the file? [21:16] zenit: even if it *nix specific - it is bad [21:16] I can live with one button not working, but it's a little dubious when no events are produced. Almost like the FN-key on some logitech keyboards, which is very annoying. [21:16] anyone? [21:16] I don#t hat this file, actually I'm trying to pair with my new mobile and I get no pin request in gnome.. [21:16] JugglerLKR: depends if it can be fixed or not :) [21:17] Is ubuntu going back to use Xmodmap for mouse buttonmapping? [21:17] and http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Bluetooth/Einrichtung speaks about bluepin [21:17] so I asume, It's missing. [21:17] thesuliban1980: um... [21:17] zenit: it can be definitely fixed - coz all buttons on all mice work in windows [21:17] thesuliban1980: it's not "missing," you simply don't have it === Jack_Sparrow is now known as newnick [21:17] hi === newnick is now known as Jack_Sparrow [21:18] yes, and how do I get it? [21:18] i'm trying to wipe my box's HDD. I assume you do this using dd, just if zero and of everything else, but i wanted to ask and not put related code on the forums for the obvious reason. [21:18] zenit: the problem is that ubuntu claims it is user friendly *nix with bells and whistles. and it is not [21:18] thesuliban1980: you use something else that does what you need to [21:18] i am testing a irc client... [21:18] what does ICEauthority do? [21:18] zenit: with 8.10 it became "yet another DIY distro" [21:19] I accidentally deleted a folder that I didn't want to. It is not in thetrash.I immediately turned off my computer. is there any recovery software I can use to recover this data relatively easily? [21:19] let it me put it that way: How do I pair via gnome my mobile? [21:19] aaaaa [21:19] Since i'm running Feisty, do I have no other options than upgrading to the latest if I want to use apt-get? [21:19] lol, jack sparrow, i've watched pirates one minute ago [21:19] swpowers correct === ompaul_ is now known as ompaul [21:19] bummer... so no "spare" mirrors running out there somewhere? [21:19] JugglerLKR: You know, specific hardware is not always standards-compliant, like the extra software i windows to utilize som of the features. I wouldn't blame it on the distro before knowing a bit more about it. [21:19] ubuntu people: once I've painfully set up my ubuntu box to use ugly/restricted repos to play dvds and the like, please do not undo all my work with updates or distro upgrades. kthxbai. [21:20] mabus: no. not easily. if you have ext3 you could try google avout ext3 file recovery [21:20] ok i need serious help with gvfs. [21:20] I'm hosted at a VPS so the only upgrade path is actually a complete reinstall. [21:20] RequinB4: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M, where sda is whatever your harddrive actually is, and 1M is the block size (and you can tinker with it to see what value of bs is fastest) [21:20] thesuliban1980: i have no idea. also [21:20] !who | thesuliban1980 [21:20] thesuliban1980: 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 :) [21:20] thesuliban1980: bluez pin stopped releasing after feisty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/bluez-pin [21:20] zenit: that's just my point of view [21:21] !register > Buster_Hymen [21:21] Buster_Hymen, please see my private message [21:21] i cannot install ndiswrapper on 8.10; i'm getting compile errors when trying to 'make' the latest version [21:21] JugglerLKR: sure [21:21] i need to be able to connect to a website with...well some sort of ssh based protocol. I need to be able to edit web documents with quanta. But for whatever reason in ibex i cannot bet the kio server working with quanta. [21:21] Anyone know how to configure a dual-head ati x1300 system at different resolutions using fglrx? [21:21] geekahedron: Are you sure that your card needs ndiswrapper? [21:21] is there a way to use gvfs and have it actually mount to a folder so that i can then edit the file with quanta plus as if it were a local file. [21:21] I'm having some problems running ubuntu (8.10 from LiveCD) in normal mode on my computer. After I try to log in, the screen goes black, the mouse cursor turns into the loading one, and stays stuck without any animation, though the mouse will still move. [21:22] grendal_prime: I think it does that by default, in ~/.gvfs [21:22] Jordan_U: one would think..but i see nothing there. [21:23] Jack_Sparrow: is there no other option than upgrading? I'm hosted on a VPS and the only "upgrade" I can do is a full re-install. [21:23] grendal_prime: I just tried "mounting" an iso via "Archive Mounter" and it [21:23] simplexio: I have been googling but not much luck [21:23] I am using ext3 [21:23] Jordan_U: it's a belkin f5d7010 pcmcia card, version 4 [21:23] grendal_prime: .... and it's showing up in ~/.gvfs [21:24] anyone? [21:24] geekahedron: Do you know what chipset it uses? [21:25] Jordan_U: not specifically, how do i tell [21:26] hello, I am planning to buy an external video card to record video in my computer, which one would you recommend to buy, that is compatible with ubuntu? [21:26] JugglerLKR: I double-checked btw, and the last button on top does indeed create both a button press and release event. [21:26] geekahedron: lspci , and look for a line that looks like your wireless card ( or just pastebin the entire output ) [21:26] siiiiiiiiii [21:26] ciaooooooooooo [21:26] rww: thanks, anyway to determine which bs is fastest or just guess? [21:26] i just got ubuntu 8.10 straight from canonical and when i boot from the cd and click install ubuntu, i get a message saying BusyBox v1.10.2 and a command prompt beginning with (initramfs) [21:27] xamoo on 64 bit? it wont start [21:27] grendal_prime: How are you using gvfs?

[21:27] <[Spooky]> kosse: Hm i have it and run it ok... [21:27] Jordan_U: ive tried that before and it was not working for whatever reason. [21:27] RequinB4: choosing the fastest ** [21:28] how do i change the amount of desktops in gnome? [21:28] [Spooky]: hmmm [21:28] zenit: then you're lucky [21:28] kosse: I think it's just a variant of the 8800gts [21:28] <[Spooky]> kosse: You have installed the Nvidia 3D driver? [21:28] hi! I'm trying to run batik with tiles@home, but I keep getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/svg/SVGDocument [21:28] grendal_prime: I'm just that good :) [21:28] I've installed the driver using envyng [21:28] gnice, I need to record a video from an ultrasound device that has a BNC connector as output, but I am planning to buy an adapter from bnc to s-video, rca, svga [21:28] nbeebo_ right click on the panel display on the bottom right corner and choose Preferences then set the # workspaces there by rows/columns [21:28] Jordan_U: 07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [21:28] [Spooky]: I'm assuming thats what I need to do [21:28] rww: aight, that's basically what i figured. is the syntax exactly 10K, 1M, etc and not 1024 etc [21:28] nbeebo_: if you have the workspace switcher applet, right-click on it, hit preferences, then change "Number of Workspaces". If you don't... ummm... add it then do that =/ [21:28] gnice, so basically, any video input is ok [21:29] RequinB4: i think either works. check the man page ;) [21:29] mindrape, rww thanks [21:29] [Spooky]: what version of the driver are you running?

[21:31] the_newbie, I would look at an external canopus box [21:31] busybox woot [21:31] Zooback: You might try the alternate ( text based ) install CD [21:32] whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? [21:32] hi there! how do i check what is the version of ubuntu i use? [21:32] [Spooky]: pretty sure I've done that but let me double check. I've made so many changes... [21:32] iuri: lsb_release -a [21:32] alright Jordan_U thanks [21:32] Zooback: np [21:32] is there anyone here that knows of a particular video capture device that works fine with ubuntu? [21:33] whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? [21:33] the_newbie: you mean like a tuner card? the pvr-150 works well [21:33] Hi... if I downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04 (to fix wifi regression) will my separate /home still be compatible? [21:33] [Spooky]: ah I had it in there but all lower case. is that going to make a difference? [21:33] I just used imgburn to verify my ubuntu 8.10 liveCD, and it says it's an ok disc. [21:33] still running 8.04 here have teh legacy driver issues [21:33] FirstAmendmentFa, does it needs any tweaking to make it work with ubuntu, or it works right out the box? [21:34] whats the terminal command that will list all my hard drives with their numbers.. meaning (hd0,0) etc? [21:34] still running 8.04 here. have the legacy NVIDIA driver issues been resolved for 8.10? [21:34] <[Spooky]> kosse: Maybe im not sure... Then i use "wine /blabla/wow/Launcher.exe" [21:34] chazco: probably, your config files (the .hidden files in ~) might not apply [21:34] hello 2 all [21:34] I'm having some problems running ubuntu (8.10 from LiveCD) in normal mode on my computer. After I try to log in, the screen goes black, the mouse cursor turns into the loading one, and stays stuck without any animation, though the mouse will still move. [21:34] chazco: With a few exceptions, yes [21:34] I've actually installed ubuntu though, wubi install. [21:34] Jordan_U: that worked, thanks. i thought the newest version should support it but didn't know where to look [21:34] [Spooky]: what version of the nvidia driver are you using [21:34] the_newbie, PVR-150 will do nicely.

[21:39] Hello. I have been having a heck of a time getting Ubuntu installed. Every single time I've tried it fails the disc integrity check. I've tried burning from two different machines on three different burners and two brands of cd with no luck. Any ideas what might be going on please? [21:39] Can anyone suggest a better channel to get fglrx advice? [21:40] RequinB4 gparted [21:40] I have / on a reiserfs partition. is it a bad idea to disable fsck checks at startup? If not, how would this be done? [21:40] Jack_Sparrow: okay so if it says sdc1 then its hd0,0 sdc2 is hd0,1? or 2? [21:40] Jack_Sparrow jayde_drag0n: yeah i'd just suggest gparted [21:40] <[Spooky]> kosse: Please let me know how it worked for you, you can pm me if you want to. [21:41] hello there [21:41] i had this earlier [21:41] Hey Guys, How would I go about listing the names of attached drives in terms of sdc1, sdc2 etc? [21:41] sup [21:42] Jack_Sparrow: i'm using gparted right now.. i have to redo my entire system.. format 2 hard drives, put linux on one.. and windoze on the other.. i'm gunna do win first then ubuntu so grub gets fixed, but i usually have to manually enter the windows lines into grub and it wants the hd codes for those lines.. so was trying to prepare in advance [21:42] FirstAmendmentFa: I don't know if it's a good idea, but you'd do it by making the sixth (last) field in /etc/fstab 0 for your rFS partition.

[21:42] LurkersA: will show mounted drives [21:42] cidesign: Thanks [21:43] FirstAmendmentFa: umm. your filesystem won't get checked at startup. if there's errors on it, they won't get detected at startup. [21:43] rww: i ask because mine interrupts usplash every time to show me some fsck text output and it's rather annoying [21:43] jayde_drag0n since you are redoing everything, consider a separate /home too [21:43] i am looking for a FTP server with a GUI for ubuntu any suggestion?

Why? [22:19] please help [22:19] hischild, yeah i've asked others to do that and it hasn't worked. people can ping the external ip but can't ssh in from outside [22:20] kambiz_: then your port forwarding is wrong or not working properly [22:20] !helpme | Danu [22:20] Danu: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [22:20] My rmvb videos don't play correctly in Gnome, but in KDE play perfectly [22:20] Mister Gnea sorry [22:21] hsichild: i was trying to see if the router ssh port is opened. you can do that localy.

[22:23] kambiz_: well if u have no firewall blocking ur traffic and u have forwarded the ports correctly then ur ISP is the problem... [22:23] i'm looking at my router and 80 and 22 forward to 10.10.1.110 the server's internal ip and i've confirmed the server is on 10.10.1.11. and apache runs under http://localhost and ssh connects internally [22:23] hello [22:24] eseven73: yeah, it's a variant of lisp (but i use vi :) [22:24] Hello, how do I disable gnome-panel from running on ubuntu 8.10?

I can change it in nvidia x config to normal one, and then it works, but upon logout/login it is back to old ugly one. Any idea how to make that resolution change permanent. It works normally under other users. [22:25] Can ubuntu access my vista partition ? [22:25] until mac is free, then you have nothing to say jjprotector [22:25] greenman: if you tel vista to let it [22:25] greenman, ofcourse [22:25] greenman: yes [22:25] *tell [22:25] how can i set gnome/nautilus to open different file extensions with different commands [22:25] Oh i c [22:25] greenman: check in places, it's probably there [22:25] i'm gonna get on the phone with my isp [22:25] Excuse me, is there a way to make a shortcut to a file, and have it being portable, like if I send it to someone else the shortcurt will still work (given that it's a folder and etc..) [22:25] well im checking and all i can see as of now [22:25] is a 405gig mountable drive [22:25] someone connected to my vnc, is there any logfile or something where I can see that connection? (ip, etc) [22:26] and my partition i made for files [22:26] how can i stop so gnome-panel doesnt reappear after i kill it? [22:26] Iradieh, if you mount your drive then it would be accessible via internet [22:26] I've browsed trying to find the answer, but noone seems to know how to stop gnome-panel from running at startup for my user. I don't want to remove the program gnome-panel, simply not run it. Anyone knows how? [22:26] is the 405gig drive your vista partition [22:26] neosisani: Not drive [22:26] Buonasera [22:26] neosisani: regular file shortcut [22:26] My rmvb videos don't play ok in Gnome [22:26] neosisani: like I want a file that points to folderA/FileB [22:26] but in KDE do [22:26] how can i set gnome/nautilus to open different file extensions with a specific command every time [22:26] its a mountable drive so i maybe ? im not sure [22:26] Iradieh, and you want to access it from other computer? [22:26] Iradieh: as long as the file on the other person's computer is in the same location that it is on yours, yes [22:26] greenman, well try it out [22:27] greenman: choose and see what happens [22:27] neosisani: no I want it being portable [22:27] Gnea: yes,, HOW? [22:27] hey how do force archtitecture on tar gz file [22:27] ln | Iradieh [22:27] !ln | Iradieh [22:27] Oh it is [22:27] Iradieh: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[22:28] Gnea I am windows user I just want tit to work [22:28] Iradieh: ln -s FolderB/FileC FileA [22:28] rww: thanks alot [22:28] Iradieh: then I think you have to do something with tar to make it preserve symlinks, give me a sec [22:28] Iradieh: If you want to learn linux, you'll need to learn the linux way too. [22:28] FileA is the shortcut huh rww [22:28] Iradieh: yeah [22:28] Gnea: I dont want to learn it [22:28] Iradieh: windows user or not, patience is important. [22:29] rww: danke [22:29] Iradieh: then don't usei t. [22:29] Iradieh It helps when a user at least tries to learn and does not insist on keystroke by keystroke commands [22:29] Iradieh: then you will fail. [22:29] Jack_Sparrow: I just require this [22:29] do u have to have samba installed to share a folder with 2 ubuntu machines [22:29] linuxman410: no [22:29] linuxman410: there are many other options, for example nfs [22:29] hello, i am using both windows and ubuntu, my problem is i can use my wireless with windows, but can't use it on ubuntu. I found that there is a ndiswrapper software which installs windows inf files to linux understandable. I downloaded the deb file from packges.ubuntu.com but shell gives ndiswrapper utilities not found error. Possibly i am installing package correctly, do you know which... [22:29] ...packages are used, so i download them from windows and install on ubuntu? [22:30] linuxman410: samba is normally used for sharing services between ubuntu and windows systems [22:30] Iradieh: actually, nvm, it looks like tar preserves symlinks by default, so you should be good to go with just the ln -s command [22:30] Would ubuntu 8.10 come without mail (the old cli email client) installed? [22:30] !ndiswrapper | mkm1 [22:30] mkm1: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:30] Evilkiksass2: normally installed with an mta [22:30] ikonia mta? [22:30] ok thanks [22:30] Evilkiksass2: mail transfer agent === mkm1 is now known as tynar [22:30] mkm1: you don't need to download from the website, just use apt or synaptic to install ndiswrapper with [22:30] Evilkiksass2: without that, no point having mail [22:30] Evilkiksass2: correct. intrepid doesn't come with "mail" installed. [22:31] Does sharing need to be enabled for me to view files in the vista partition ? [22:31] oogno [22:31] greenman: no [22:31] Gnea: I can't use internet in ubuntu ) [22:31] what's a good wireless connection manager? i had one but don't remember what it was called [22:31] is there a channel for ubuntu netbook remix?

[22:32] I can't access my music or videos in the vista partition. Is there any settings vista needs to have ? [22:32] why can I not do a force architecture on tar gz file? we do that with .deb files [22:33] greenman: yeah, they need to be shared... it's a windows thing, you should ask in #windows [22:33] ddubbsmax2: http://forums.techguy.org/unix-linux/635440-how-do-i-get-zune.html [22:33] ddubbsmax2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2178292 [22:33] Gnea: yes now I am using windows, [22:33] rww: hello. just to let you know, i made the Extensions section in my xorg.conf file like so...Option "Composite" "Enable". then i searched my log(/var/log/Xorg.0.log) file for the 'Composite' and got --> (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled [22:34] hi all, is there an amr decoder for intrepid? [22:34] Can anyone answer me a quick question? [22:34] Gnea: seems i found all packages, from docs ) [22:34] !ask | Alpert [22:34] Alpert: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:34] I want to Dual Partition my computer [22:34] onetinsoldier: Huh. I don't have that extension enabled, but Compiz works fine for me. Whatever works for you, I guess :) [22:35] tynar: perhaps you don't have the latest firmware [22:35] I have a Windows XP and I want to dual partition with Ubuntu [22:35] have you seen sodasucks.com? [22:35] rww: my appearance visual effects preference was already at 'Normal'. however, i went ahead up upped to 'extra'. but that does not take me into the compiz wm... [22:35] Alpert: you can resize partitions with gparted in the lve cd, backup important data before starting just in case [22:35] Each time I install the flash plugin it doesn't sink in, and each time it requires me to install it again, but it says it already is, but it isn't. Obviously. [22:35] rww i'm stillinthe default metacity wm [22:35] If I do this, will this whipe my computer, causing all of my programs on Windows to delete? [22:36] Alpert: no it should be ok, but as is life. Nothing is 100% garunteed [22:36] Ok [22:36] one more question [22:36] onetinsoldier: you're sure? Like, metacity is showing up in ps -AH and compiz isn't? [22:36] I'm downloading Ubuntu from the Ubuntu website, does that come with GParted? [22:36] Alpert: yes [22:36] Alpert: yes, it's on the LiveCD. [22:37] Is it wise for me to get avast. If so im having trouble trying to install it [22:37] Alpert: its part of the cd so yes. If you get web access ni the live cd you can install any app you may need [22:37] So, all I do is put it in my CD Drive, and GParted will autostart [22:37] rww: i hear that the compiz wm has a 3d spinning cube... do you have that? [22:37] Alpert: its more bandwidth efficeint to get gparted directly [22:37] hello people [22:37] Alpert: no, the live desktop (running purely in ram) will boot [22:38] Alpert: there will be a menu system like all ubuntus and you can run any app you wish (including gparted) [22:38] onetinsoldier: I could get most of Compiz to work, but not the cube thingie. Maybe if I turned on that extension it would work... [22:38] greenman: why did you want to install avast? [22:38] Alpert: before undertaking this, i'd research some [22:38] Ok, I just downloaded gparted [22:38] Alpert: but as I said, backup important data [22:38] so I put that onto a CD, and run it [22:38] yep [22:38] i'm having trouble getting wicd with the package manager [22:38] why am I doing chroot for a tar gz file [22:38] and it will be a live CD like ubuntu [22:38] this doesn't answer the question [22:38] hi all, is any of libamrnb3 or libamrwb3 amr decoders? [22:39] greenman: checking for linux viruses on your linux machine? or cleaning mail on the linux server? something else? [22:39] after adding the repository it still doesn't show up [22:39] rww: roger... i do see a compiz process in ps -AH, so yes.. i guess that why i have some nice eye-candy effects :-) [22:39] well considering that i am [22:39] anyone know of any usb or pci express tv tuners that work in Linux? [22:39] where do i change the titlebar double-click actions? [22:39] crap wrong channel [22:39] Alpert: you dont really need a gparted cd, its part of the live cd of ubuntu [22:39] when I booted ubuntu 8.10 this morning it tells me no wired network - if i edit wried connections the box is empty - help! [22:39] geekahedron: see this http://www.linuxprimetime.com/applications/wlcda-better-betwork-manager-for-linux/ [22:39] geekahedron: 1) did you make sure you put in your version of Ubuntu instead of "hardy"? 2) Did you do sudo apt-get update recently? 3) Did you add the GPG key?

[22:50] aridite, yes it does. You have to manually export a value once you're SSH'd into that box. [22:51] aridite: you could forward x from the system you ssh'd to [22:51] i cant paste anything in - the machine is offline :( [22:51] aridite: You want to play the video on the remote box or the box you are sitting at? [22:51] ActionParsnip, wouldn't be running on his desktop then, would it ... [22:51] aridite: x forwarding is enabled by default in openssh-server [22:51] Whippy-> you certainly can copy it, use a usb dongle or something to transfer over [22:51] EADG, play the video on the remote box [22:51] will do [22:52] aridite, you want me to guide you on how to do it?

[22:52] ActionParsnip, that's so network intensive man, SSH is so much more elegant with it. [22:53] aridite, it's fairly easy to do, will take about 15 seconds in total. [22:53] hischild, ok then :), guide me [22:53] ActionParsnip, setting the $DISPLAY value is all that's needed, why use VNC?

[22:55] ActionParsnip, it's not VNC i'm worried about, but the network usage would go rather high with it usually. [22:55] hischild, ah yes, ingenious - thanks again [22:55] aridite, np [22:55] Can someone tell me how to disconnect "properly" from a PPTP server, using the linux pptp client? [22:55] what software application will allow me to take a picture with a webcam? [22:56] hischild: depends how much bandwidth there is that is disposable [22:56] i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows but set up 3 partitions (one each for windows, ubuntu and storage). what would you recommend for the partition size of windows and ubuntu? [22:56] 0 for windows %100 ubuntu =) [22:56] :) [22:56] yep [22:56] ActionParsnip, ofcourse. but imagine that you're on a network that is rather low on network, or has to support some streaming video's ... wouldn't it be better to go for the most elegant solution? Anyway, straying offtopic here. [22:56] haha, kindofbuzz, seriously, any suggestions? [22:56] 100% Ubuntu [22:57] hischild: absolutely, I was merely suggesting one solution [22:57] wow, seriously, i want some sincere help [22:57] not joles [22:57] ActionParsnip, a valid suggestion i should add! [22:57] i go into offtopic for jokes [22:57] hischild: but yours is more elegnt [22:57] idejmcd, if you have a large enough harddisk just distribute it equally [22:57] well i do need wifi [22:58] ActionParsnip, well you can make zenity pop up on a screen, vnc makes that kinda hard to do. [22:58] abby: i only have 80 gigs and want to get the most out of my storage [22:58] ActionParsnip, i administrate a few ubuntu boxes at school, students don't always follow guide lines. [22:58] anybody got a second to help [22:58] hischild: users never follow best use policy, so screw them down so they have to ;) [22:58] i'm about to setup a static network, I seemed to be having problems so I went to the forums and I'm reading that the gnome network manger has a problem remembering, is this correct or has it been fixed? [22:58] ? [22:58] idejmcd, i'd get the apps on the storage drive, 10gb for windows and ubuntu, and use the rest as storage. [22:58] idejmcd, ok. Using Windows to play games? [22:59] err static network=static address [22:59] abby: no [22:59] hischild: thanks [22:59] I use Ubuntu for games [22:59] +wine [22:59] = happy me [22:59] sounds like a crappy gaming experince coddy [22:59] lol [22:59] hischild: is there a special way to set up ubuntu so that it uses the storage for apps? [22:59] ActionParsnip, true there. You happen to know if the hosts file comes before or after the DNS? [22:59] I've got an MBR issue that I'm not sure if the solution I have is a good one [22:59] before [22:59] idejmcd, what do you mean? my fully installed ubuntu doesn't even tick 5gb so far. [22:59] hischild: before [22:59] It works well with Hallo [22:59] idejmcd, 20GB Ubuntu, 15GB Windows, 45GB Storage [23:00] ActionParsnip, awesome. [23:00] !ask | Mulletar [23:00] idejmcd: 15 Win, 10 Ubuntu, 1Gb Ubuntu Swap, remainer storage [23:00] Mulletar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:00] anyone? [23:00] ubuntu swap? [23:00] swap is good [23:01] hischild: yep, its funny to put something like www.google.com 216.218.248.145 [23:01] hischild: watch them squirm [23:01] it works... thank's y'all [23:01] going to dc and tr again [23:01] hmm, did I spell that right? Swop? Swap file? Oh my. [23:01] coddy: what is swap? [23:01] why put your IP [23:01] hischild: thats the ip of rotten.com [23:01] EADG: is that so you can move files between the 2 OS's? [23:01] idejmcd, you could just max out the Windows partition and dedicate a folder on it for storage. Use NTFS-3g to write to it from Ubuntu. [23:01] after Ubuntu install GRUB won't allow me to boot to XP. Heard I should do FIXMBR. I did but Grub is still intact. I've also heard that I need to do both FIXMBR and FIXBOOT. will fix boot solve my issue? [23:02] idejmcd I think swap is what it uses to boot [23:02] ActionParsnip, i do it with their favorite site, a dutch one ... they seriously don't like it when that happens, they all Q.Q that it's broken again. The magic touch always seems to work. [23:02] coddy, no. [23:02] !swap [23:02] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:02] idejmcd, no [23:02] close [23:02] idejmcd: If you run out of memory Ubuntu will temporarly store files on the HDD. [23:02] hischild: its useful for spyware, spybot adds 127.0.0.1 for loads of spyware site names which is nice [23:02] and you can designate that to the swap? [23:03] how come when i deleted swap I had to boot via floppy [23:03] hi, i'm using LAMPP with ubuntu and want get mysql query log. Mysqld return error "[ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use [23:03] ". Is there another way to get this log? [23:03] ActionParsnip, under windows that's good, yes. but i administrate only the ubuntu boxes, the windows boxes is for some other students. They always have trouble, i have to create trouble otherwise i get bored. [23:04] hischild: yeah mines pretty dull since we rolled out SP2 for server 2k3 [23:04] cih997, your server is already running. [23:04] ok, i'm off to set uo the dual boot, wish me luck [23:04] idejmcd: It happens transparentlly, don't worry about it. [23:04] ok [23:04] then why wiuld i need to designate a partition? [23:04] on my OS should I add a swap? [23:04] hischild: ok, i'll turn off and then try [23:04] HALP, I think I just borked the GRUB boot loader, defaulting to another bootloader, I need somebody tell me how to switch it back to GRUB [23:04] idejmcd: run the program saidar to see memory/swap file usage. [23:04] how do i upload the file with my network problem results? [23:05] coddy: Yes [23:05] !it [23:05] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

I got a script that opens up a terminal with the right settings for it, then just zenity --info and it's fun. Anyway, offtopic? [23:06] I meen on my OS, that im making how big [23:06] Could somebidy please help me out here, I really need to get back to GRUB, and I dont really have any clue how to default back to it.

Is there any way to get query log with lampp and ubuntu? [23:08] Hi all, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop a while ago, and I've been noticing random crashes (full poweroff). The frequency of the crashes varies randomly, but I have no idea what the problem is. There is, seemingly, no common trend among the crashes. Any idea what I can do to fix it? [23:08] thanks hischild, was a bloody mess installing it though, had to install fedora just to create the partition, which caused even more problems [23:08] the latest updates to ubuntu 8.10 seem to have made my network card disappear and have disabled my network [23:08] GodfatherofEire, yeah ... [23:09] cih997, what is the command you're running? [23:09] well bye [23:09] hischild: lampp start [23:09] how can i get rid of the tray icon for networkmanager once i have wicd running? [23:09] Speaking of which, does anybody know a bootable partitioner, so that I dont have to go through that mess again? [23:09] cih997, stupid solution perhaps, but reboot.

[23:40] ActionParsnip: restart did not help. no connections showing in the wired connections gui and connection still appearing disabled.

[23:41] ActionParsnip: then how do i configure? [23:41] phineas, no [23:41] no need to [23:41] unless that folder is unzipped to something your user doesn't have permissions [23:41] untarrd*? [23:41] Sebastianito: webseach that card and you will get guides on how to set it up. Yuo could even websearch ubuntu on eee pc and get exact guides [23:42] Whippy: does sudo /sbin/ifup eth1 work? [23:42] GodfatherofEire1, whatever you do, DO NOT mount the drives read/write until we're done and all that. Don't even try to write to them, it can only screw things up. [23:42] ActionParsnip: thats what i've done and i installed a configured kernel for my eee pc and when i restarted i got these settings [23:42] GodfatherofEire1, what are you on right now? a live cd? [23:42] kindofabuzz, I dont know If I have to compile it or install it how can I tell which one I have to do? [23:42] ActionParsnip: Iĺl try it [23:42] phineas, untar the source to your desktop, then cd ~/Desktop/, ./configure, make, sudo make install [23:43] Ugh, shitty, gotta redownload this thing at an average of 8KB/s I really wish I could get faster internet here.. -.-"! [23:43] hey [23:43] how do I complete uninstall firefox? [23:43] phineas, you have to compile it first before it can install, it's just code [23:43] ActionParsnip: it reports eth1 already configured [23:43] jojozhou, sudo aptitude purge firefox, then rm -Rf ~/.mozilla [23:44] phineas, : what package you try to compile ? [23:44] GodfatherofEire1, you have enough space to make a full copy of the entire drive to work on? [23:44] GodfatherofEire1, on a different disc ofcourse. [23:44] georgy_28, that would be a "lib usb" [23:44] * Symmetria dances a happy dance as his ubuntu box running a squid rproxy finally gets some load and seems to be handling it well [23:44] heh pushing 48 hits a second now [23:44] I got it! [23:45] yay! [23:45] Thank's guy's [23:45] hischild, I think I might've missed a bit, my wireless cut out on me [23:45] great [23:45] GodfatherofEire, you probably did indeed. [23:45] GodfatherofEire1, took me 4 hours to get my xfs drive back up and running, i succeeded at it in the middle of the night ... we'll get it working. [23:45] Ive been trying to figure this out for 1 over a year [23:45] Whippy: ok, does ifconfig eth1 look good? [23:45] GodfatherofEire1, whatever you do, DO NOT mount the drives read/write until we're done and all that. Don't even try to write to them, it can only screw things up. [23:45] ActionParsnip: u dont know whats wrong? [23:45] ActionParsnip: checking [23:45] GodfatherofEire1, what are you on right now? a live cd? [23:45] phineas, you may want to read about checkinstall, you'd run that instead of make install to create a .deb for future use [23:45] GodfatherofEire1, you have enough space to make a full copy of the entire drive to work on? On a different disc ofcourse. [23:45] hischild: yep, livecd [23:45] ok [23:45] GodfatherofEire, see the above. [23:46] hischild, wait, what? on the last bit [23:46] phineas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [23:46] GodfatherofEire, you have a second disc that is larger then the disc with the broken partitions? [23:46] ActionParsnip: yes eth1 looks ok on ifconfig [23:46] hischild: er no [23:47] kindofabuzz, you have been very helpful! but I have to go now. [23:47] bye everyone [23:47] all 1300 of you :p [23:47] hi [23:47] error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisfile.so.3: cannot open shared object file [23:47] GodfatherofEire, hmm kk, so even more careful work is required then. Any partitions mounted? [23:47] what should i do now? [23:47] hischild: nope [23:48] Whippy: then you win, yes? [23:48] <[David]WS> Why was Until_It_Sleeps banned? [23:48] <[David]WS> He's asking me in another channel [23:48] <[David]WS> he forgets [23:48] [David]WS: tell him to join #ubuntu-ops [23:48] GodfatherofEire, no swap either? [23:49] <[David]WS> {{done}} [23:49] hischild, not even thats mounted [23:49] thats /dev/sda5 [23:49] ActionParsnip: sadly no... it still says networking is disabled and no wired connection appears in the box [23:50] GodfatherofEire, you have any place you can dump the files? [23:50] Whippy: if ifconfig says you have an ip, it doesnt matter what anything else says [23:50] hischild, as a matter of fact, yes [23:50] ActionParsnip: you are right - ignoring the gui reports i just tried the browser and it connected fine. [23:50] Would take a while though [23:51] Anybody here working with PIC microcontrollers with Ubuntu? [23:51] ActionParsnip: thanks for your help - where did you learn this stuff? [23:51] Does anyone know why, when compiling something on a 64-bit OS, I'd get "error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set" [23:51] ? [23:52] GodfatherofEire, well, there's a number of options we can go with. We can go ahead and try to set your old partition table back, see if we can rescue individual files or back up a paritition in general. [23:52] The repeat keys function on my computer is to fast so that it triggers to easily, even when I have it set to the longest setting. Is there a way to fix this? === gds_lumut_ is now known as chanthie [23:54] GodfatherofEire, if you want to check for yourself, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [23:54] hischild, sorry, my internet connection is a little... unreliable [23:54] Whippy: i like to know where configs are held rather than use guis [23:54] GodfatherofEire2, np. we've got some options around, you have any preference? --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [23:54] Whippy: im black belt google-fu and 2nd dan ask.com-chi [23:54] noamsml, you probably have to tell the copiler to use both provessors or soemthing [23:54] processors* [23:55] :O [23:55] noamsml, because your CPU doesn't support a 64bit arch. [23:55] hischild, whatever gets my hd workin [23:55] * Until_It_Sleeps can speak! [23:55] hischild: I'm running a 64-bit OS [23:56] It seems that editing the makefile and changing ix86 to x86_64 eliminated it [23:56] noamsml, the error looks like a kernel error to me [23:56] GodfatherofEire2, any preferences on it? === dtfora is now known as dtcrshr [23:56] hischild: whatever is the least likely to do damage [23:56] So, It says I need "Kubuntu" to install MCE. Is that just an application, or a full blown OS? [23:57] hischild, so basically, not really, provided they mostly work the same [23:57] cris_core: You can also read and set the repeat rate with the xset command. That may allow a larger range for the delay time. [23:57] Hello room. I hope someone can help me. The repeat keys function on my computer is to fast so that it triggers to easily, even when I have it set to the longest setting. Is there a way to fix this? I am running ubuntu 8.10 [23:57] ach, such a quick transition from XP to Ubuntu O_o [23:57] Ok How do you set the xset. I am very new to Ubuntu [23:58] GodfatherofEire, what storage device you got to store the files on? [23:58] cris_core: The "long" delay from the "keyboard preferences" dialog is 1.5 seconds. That seems plenty long. [23:58] It does not work for me. At the longest setting it's still about .3 sec or so [23:59] type faster? [23:59] ActionParsnip: cool! thanks again - Iĺl post a low pri query on the forums to get the gui bit sorted. [23:59] bye all [23:59] anyone know how to make transparent menu bars [23:59] hischild: sorry bout that, 16gig USB [23:59] cris_core: You can start a terminal with "applications accessories terminal" menu item. Then type "xset q" to see the settings. [23:59] But I have 40 gigs of data, so not larger than the Hdd
