[00:38] n8tuser: neither are detected by hardware drivers [00:38] \Kira-> both internal lan address and when it is outside facing [00:38] can we use tar command [00:38] btoogood ya but I used it because flash wouldn't play, but just now figured it out so I might try konq for a stretch ^^ [00:39] or restricted drivers, whatever. i read somewhere it just uses the b43cutter tool itself. both cards are seen by ubuntu, but neither actually work. [00:39] arrrghhh-> hardware drivers dont detect them, try to run lshal and see if its on the list [00:39] n8tuser: whatbout me? [00:39] Hi, I could use help with a new install if anyone has time [00:39] <\Kira> 192.168.1.100 is the IP while im inside the network, 66.183.246.2 is my external IP [00:39] OxDeadC0de: Konq is cool very nice in KDE 4.0.1 [00:39] n8tuser: wow that's a lot. i know they showed up in lspci yesterday [00:40] <\Kira> n8tuser: 192.168.1.100 is the IP while im inside the network, 66.183.246.2 is my external IP [00:40] I set Ubuntu up to automatically connect to my wifi network on start, and it does. My problem is that the DNS doesn't work until I manually do iwconfig wlan1 essid Main key off && dhclient wlan1. This started when I set up WPA using wpa_supplicant. Can anybody help? [00:40] ohletmeinnowgodd-> post the results of fdisk -l while that sd card is plugged in [00:40] eww 4.0.1 sucks, all buggy, 4.0.3 in backports is where it's at :P (Unsupported) [00:40] <\Kira> FreeFull: mabye put these commands in yours auto-run directory? [00:40] \Kira-> so where is the difficulty? what were you expecting to happen? [00:41] my Ubuntu install failed halfway durring install ... can I copy the rest of the files into disk from liveCD? [00:41] norcim1221: try the install again [00:41] freefull why don't you use network manager? it's a frontend to wpa-supplicant [00:41] \Kira: But that's cheating. I want to fix the problem the proper way [00:41] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88878/ [00:41] norcim1221: maybe do a consistency check of the disc first. [00:41] install stop at same spot every tiime [00:41] FreeFull-> i can not get wpa to work still, so if you can disable wpa, i may be able to assist [00:41] <\Kira> n8tuser: from outside my LAN, I get a different system than if I connect inside my lan. Actually, its a whole different network. If I connect the my dyndns from inside the network, it works. If I connect from outside, I get a different system [00:41] ubuntu 8.04: cannot admin via GUI -- all options grayed out; not prompted for root.... IDEAS??? [00:41] im drunken [00:41] lol [00:41] OxDeadC0de: NetworkManager has failed at managing my network since the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [00:42] n8tuser: that gave me so much information, gnome-terminal won't even scroll thru it all. [00:42] what is a good terminal program that will use a ttyUSB* to console a unix box? [00:42] <\Kira> FreeFull: Just suggesting :P === _wendy_ is now known as DiiPhantom_ [00:42] \Kira-> the words different system does not mean much to me, what do you mean by that? [00:42] they both show up in lsci thi, one is the BCM4318 and the other is BCM4306. [00:42] lspci* [00:42] OxDeadC0de: I couldn't get it to work at all [00:42] hi [00:42] <\Kira> n8tuser: I get a whole different network. Its as if the dyndns points me to a different IP if I connect from outside my lan [00:42] ohletmeinnowgodd-> it is not seen at all [00:42] arrrghhh I use ndiswrapper for my bcm card [00:42] I have a problem with python [00:43] n8tuser: Without WPA the DNS works [00:43] arrrghhh-> learn to use the tools [00:43] arrrghhh: the disk is usb and stalls after a while... [00:43] n8tuser: how do i make it seen then? maybe it needs to be formatted? [00:43] gnu2it2: gtkterm [00:43] freefull :|, check your wifi drivers?? try alternate drivers? [00:43] \Kira-> host entry in you dns are screwed up, correct them then [00:43] OxDeadC0de: It's a goddamn DNS issue. [00:43] OxDeadC0de: i used ndiswrapper previously, and i had both cards working... but then it started flaking out a lot of other things in the OS. [00:43] i waa told, it's due to errors in the python, ubuntu uses, as it doesn't occur qith python build from source [00:43] i'm guessing i shouldn't have used both cards at the same time? [00:43] <\Kira> n8tuser: If I connect to trillion.ath.cx from inside my network, I get sent to: 66.183.246.2 (my network). If I connect from outside my network to trillion.ath.cx, I get sent to something else [00:43] ohletmeinnowgodd-> maybe, is it a brand new one? [00:43] I can go into the new install... just need help configuring it [00:44] <\Kira> n8tuser: in dyndns? [00:44] FreeFull-> oh well, i already said i cant get wpa to work in ubuntu, so i cant assist you there [00:44] OxDeadC0de: DNS doesn't work on startup if I don't do iwconfig wlan1 essid Main key off && dhclient wlan1 [00:44] \Kira-> hang on let me check [00:44] OxDeadC0de: Even although Ubuntu is connected to the network before I do that [00:44] n8tuser: what difference does it make? i just popped it into my camera and it works fine [00:45] after i did last upgrade my system keeps crashing .. any log i can check to try to find problem? Any one else hacing issues? [00:45] anyone here familiar with ppc ubuntu? [00:45] OxDeadC0de: Also, it can connect to IP addresses before I do that. [00:45] ohletmeinnowgodd-> it makes a whole lot of difference if the format is not understood [00:45] macuser10: Probably the people in the channel #ubuntu-ppc are :) [00:45] AAAAAAH [00:45] genii: lol sorry, thanks [00:45] ubuntu 8.04: cannot admin via GUI -- all options grayed out; not prompted for root.... IDEAS?? [00:45] i was told, the errors come from an ubuntu patch [00:46] I just accidentally pasted into the terminal and it made testdisk do weird things to my disk geometry! [00:46] macuser10: np. If it's too quiet there maybe return and ask [00:46] n8tuser: ok what format do digital cameras use? [00:46] ohletmeinnowgodd: digital [00:46] ohletmeinnowgodd: I believe most often it's FAT32 [00:46] :) [00:46] \Kira-> from my end i can resolve that trillian.ath.cx to your outside ip address, now you want the internal (subnet) to do what? [00:46] how do you uninstall gimp via terminal? [00:47] keres: sudo apt-get remove gimp [00:47] hey, how do I disable the network manager? or at least get it to stop enabling DHCP on eth0 (as eth0 is in a bridge) [00:47] ohletmeinnowgodd-> i dont know, which camera do you have? [00:47] n8tuser: a panasonic lumix [00:47] pidgin doesn't seem to highlight my name... [00:47] keres: sudo find / -name \*gimp\* -exec rm -rf {} \; <<<< just kidding... dangerous! [00:47] when others say it tat is [00:47] n8tuser: dmc lc80 [00:48] steve__: dangerous indeed :) [00:48] genii: 4 active, but no responses [00:48] steve__: That sort of stuff is not allowed. It would erase all his stuff :/ [00:48] ohletmeinnowgodd: GOOGLE "panasonic lumix filesystem type" [00:48] <\Kira> n8tuser: thats wierd. I cant connect to trillion.ath.cx from outside network without getting sent to a IP thats not mine. Did you connect via port 80? What was displayed on the page? Could you please tell me the ports open? I appreciate your help so far :) [00:48] ohletmeinnowgodd-> lets step back, uplugged it, and run dmesg, then replug it back in and run dmesg again, note the diffrences in the last few lines [00:48] phix: I always liked: "sudo rm -rf *.* " [00:49] im trying to compile a prog, but for some reason it fails on my dirname which has a space in it.... [00:49] steve__-> that is not a nice advice [00:49] how can i find the mistake? im not a programmer [00:49] !dangre [00:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dangre [00:49] !danger [00:49] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [00:49] :/ [00:49] \Kira-> its stalling [00:49] Ward1983: try "directory foo" [00:49] <\Kira> n8tuser: it does that.... Would you know why? [00:50] If I'm running an http webserver, which ports should I forward from my router to my computer? [00:50] n8tuser: no difference [00:50] steve__: I hope your bumhole grows teeth and slowly eats you whole [00:50] Bsims, lol not that way [00:50] \Kira-> are you serving a page? [00:50] Peddy, : 80 [00:50] * Bsims winks at Ward1983 I'm a wiccan we know from curses [00:50] Bsims, make install fails while make goes fine, the error is it cannot find /home/myname/installed , the real dir is /home/myname/installed sources [00:50] ohletmeinnowgodd-> you have to wait for a few, for it to be detected, do it over [00:50] Thanks georgy_28, I was doing 8080 accidentally :) [00:50] <\Kira> n8tuser: serving a page? My apache server currently only displays the standard "It works!" message [00:50] on Hardy, how do i set up vlc so it automatically plays my dvds when i put them in? [00:51] macuser10: I'd say ask your Q here then, it may not be ppc specific [00:51] i had it set up like that on gutsy, but i upgraded [00:51] sorry if my Solaris humour is too dry. I'll try to use more smilies. :( [00:51] how do you uninstall gimp via terminal? [00:51] i installed intrepid on this lenovo y530 today and can't seem to get the sound to work properly. can someone please help me. [00:51] <\Kira> n8tuser: it runs a sauerbraten game server, but I dont think it runs a heavy connection [00:51] sudo apt-get install gimp [00:51] georgy_28: TCP, or TCP and UDP? [00:51] \Kira-> but is your apache serving to the outside facing interface that has the ip address of trillian.ath.cx ? [00:51] phorensic: uninstal [00:51] Peddy, : can do both [00:51] sudo apt-get remove --purge gimp [00:51] Ward1983: can you tell make install where to install it to at compile time? you might try home/whatever/installed_sources [00:51] fryguy: you ever fix that video card? [00:52] or without --urge [00:52] steve__: Heh we get /alot/ of newbies who don't know not to do dat [00:52] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88882/ without sd plugged in [00:52] Bsims, i duno i never did that [00:52] Hi all..I have a Gateway MX6440 and it seems to be slow when it comes to Ubuntu with Gnome and sometimes KDE. Any ideas for what to look at to fix this?? [00:52] on Hardy, how do i set up vlc so it automatically plays my dvds when i put them in? [00:52] Ward1983: it might work its a common problem with commandline proggrams [00:53] ok guys, how do i mount both of my RAID arrays so I can copy my entire filesystem from one to the other? i need everything so the install stays intact [00:53] i installed intrepid on this lenovo y530 today and can't seem to get the sound to work properly. can someone please help me. [00:53] and so i can boot of the one i'm not yet using [00:53] CheesyWeasel: right click - properties - open with? [00:53] <\Kira> n8tuser: I didnt understand that...... my router port forwards port 80 to my server, and I can connect inside my LAN using trillion.ath.cx and view the it works page, but outside gives me a blank page of a network with alot more ports than mine open. Can you tell how many ports are open yet? [00:53] ohletmeinnowgodd-> and when it is plugged in? [00:54] TriBeCa99: what kind of raid is it? [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/88885/ [00:54] Can someone unban me from #ubuntu-offtopic ? [00:54] \Kira-> nope, i didnt do a port scan [00:54] Bsims: ubuntu software raid [00:54] fixme:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory MEM_WRITE_WATCH type not supported [00:54] <\Kira> n8tuser: could you try please? [00:54] fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership (0x174 0x165610 0x5aeedd8) stub! [00:54] phorensic: i want it to automatically do it. when i plug in my dvd, it should open up vlc. i did it on gutsy [00:54] this is interesting : 72.798305] mmcblk0: unable to set block size to 512: -110 [ 72.798320] mmcblk: probe of mmc0:1585 failed with error -22 [00:55] Bsims: I thot I had appended my line with a warning NOT to do that... but I'll be nice... [00:55] extor: you would have to talk to #ubuntu-ops [00:55] Bsims: I have a RAID1 with ubuntu on it, and an empty degraded RAID10. I need to move everything to the RAID10, tear down the RAID1, and add those devices to the RAID10 [00:55] \Kira-> nope i dont have the tools at the moment [00:55] do anyone know where to download libjavaplugin.so for 64bit machines? [00:55] <\Kira> n8tuser: I understand, thanks anyways. [00:55] anybody? [00:55] hey there. I can not download my upgrades for 8.04. I get these: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/shadow/login_4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb [00:55] Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) Should I be worried? [00:55] on Hardy, how do i set up vlc so it automatically plays my dvds when i put them in? [00:55] jepp-> in same place where plugins directory should be [00:55] TriBeCa99: Hrm software raid.. dunno I'd normally suggest if they were mirrored simply breaking the raid, and mirroring off the one drive and then shutting down and reinstall the second drive [00:55] hi,i cant fimd tomcat commons-logging with the defayult installation,any ideas [00:56] n8tuser, where do you mean exactly? [00:56] Bsims: the issue is that the ubuntu installer can't do RAID10, but mdadm can. I've set up both arrays, but need to move the install to the RAID10 (which currently has two missing drives) [00:56] CheesyWeasel: oh ok yah i dont know offhand [00:56] r0ny_-> is it activated? do you have the jar files for commons-logging in the correct directory? [00:56] then i can add the two RAID1 drives to the RAID10 array [00:56] TriBeCa99: sorry, no real experence with raid on linux... [00:56] hey, when installing Ubuntu I told it the clock was set to UTC time, I want to change this to localtime now, how does one do this? [00:56] i just can't figure out how to copy everything from one array to the other [00:57] ok... anyone else? [00:57] how do you uninstall gimpshop? [00:57] jepp-> like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:57] hey, how do I disable the network manager? or at least get it to stop enabling DHCP on eth0 (as eth0 is in a bridge) [00:57] jrib: see?

[00:57] n8tuser: i cant find the jar files actually [00:57] CheesyWeasel: last tab [00:57] Bsims: phorensic: n8tuser: ubottu: any idea why all ADMIN GUI's are grayed out and I am not prompted for root when I start an Admin GUI window? [00:57] keres: yah [00:57] keres I think u can use synaptic to uninstall deb packages too [00:58] georgy_28: can't paste as it's a seperate box, but i'll run it and brb [00:58] Don't worry, it's fine, I enjoy talking to myself. [00:58] n8tuser: well i just hooked up the camera to the usb port and the SD shows up [00:58] n8tuser ^^, I don't mean that. sun has published a java applet for 64 bit systems. but I don't know where to download the libjavaplugin.so so I can put it to /usr/lib... [00:58] jrib: last tab? [00:58] r0ny_-> well perhaps thats the reason why it is not doing the logging you expect, missing jar files [00:58] Hello self, how's it going? [00:58] n8tuser: it just doesnt show up on its own [00:58] bobpenguin: yes [00:58] Are you tryig to start it from the terminal? [00:58] oh not bad, what's new? [00:58] keres: System>Admin>Synaptic Pkg Mgr [00:58] CheesyWeasel: yes, edit -> preferences -> media [00:58] keres: sudo apt-get install gimpshop [00:58] n8tuser: how that will come,i done a default installation of tomcat6 [00:58] cool keres, than I guess its solved :) [00:58] steve__: Not a clue sorry, I'd suggest a reinstall [00:58] hey i have the logs folder,and log files,but not this jar file [00:58] not much, just sitting in #ubuntu waiting for an answer to two questions, what about you? [00:59] TriBeCa99, : normally the command to add a device for raid1 is : mdadm --add /dev/mdX /dev/sdX [00:59] yeah same. [00:59] * Bsims snaps my fingers steve__ Hrm check /etc/sudoers [00:59] I cannot download updates for my 8.04 box. I get this: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/shadow/login_4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) should I be worried for that? [00:59] georgy_28: basically it has md1 (raid1) and md0 (raid10) [00:59] steve__: i wanted to get rid of it, not install it [00:59] how do i fix the 'unable to resolve host MYHOSTNAME' [00:59] ohletmeinnowgodd-> thats a possibility, i already said as it is, its in a filesystem format not understood by ubuntu [00:59] georgy_28: I already have the arrays. I just need to move the entire filesystem and installation from md0 to md1 [00:59] jrib: in what? [00:59] CheesyWeasel: nautilus [00:59] Bsims: I'm already in sudoers; also I'm in admin and sudo groups in /etc/group [00:59] BobPenguin: you are running a ubuntu mirror on your computer? [01:00] r00tl: Put in /etc/hosts a line: 127.0.0.1 MYHOSTNAME [01:00] steve__: Not a clue sorry... wish I could help more [01:00] phix no I'm not. I'm running ktorrent and firefox only [01:00] Hi all..I have a Gateway MX6440 and it seems to be slow when it comes to Ubuntu with Gnome and sometimes KDE. Any ideas for what to look at to fix this?? [01:00] at leas as far as I know, Phix [01:00] BobPenguin: so you have a problem then :) edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file [01:00] n8tuser: ok well this should work for now [01:00] keres: sorry: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge gimpshop' [01:00] r0ny_-> go and visit the nice folks of #tomcat at undernet.org the guy that wrote the orielly book is the operator there [01:00] jrib: i dont see an option for vlc, nor do i see a custom option [01:00] BobPenguin: or use synpatic to set up a proper mirror [01:00] n8tuser: thanks anyways [01:00] CheesyWeasel: what version of ubuntu? [01:01] jrib: hardy [01:01] see u [01:01] CheesyWeasel: it's there an intrepid. You probably need to mess with some files somewhere to get it to work in hardy [01:01] s/an/in [01:01] jrib: well darn [01:01] ok thanks phix [01:02] r0ny_-> or also look at tomcat site for hints of logging with commons jar file [01:02] georgy_28: any ideas? [01:02] CheesyWeasel: iirc, you just need to have the right options in vlc's .desktop file. So you could probably just use the one from intrepid (or at least compare the 2 and make some educated guesses) [01:02] n8tuser: looks like commons-logging is built into tomcat6 [01:02] in nautilus' options, how do i add a custom command? for example, i want dvds to open in vlc. [01:02] jrib: i'll figure it out. thanks for the help. [01:02] CheesyWeasel: here's mine from intrepid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88891/ [01:03] n8tuser: you ever used log4j with tomcat [01:03] CheesyWeasel: /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop that is [01:03] TriBeCa99, : no [01:03] jrib: i'd rather not change parts of my system to intrepid. [01:03] :-/ [01:03] CheesyWeasel: k [01:03] guy i was talking to yesterday said to use a liveCD or something, but i can't get the ubuntu liveCD to work [01:03] TriBeCa99, : need the output from cat /proc/mdstat [01:04] yo everyone [01:04] georgy_28: what specifically do you need? i have it up on the ubuntu rig [01:05] fixme:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory MEM_WRITE_WATCH type not supported [01:05] TriBeCa99, : need to see the arrays and the disk in use [01:06] i installed intrepid on this lenovo y530 today and can't seem to get the sound to work properly. can someone please help me. [01:06] hi [01:07] <[TiZ]> Hi. I have really bad audio lag in DosBox. I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid. Pulse Audio's fault, right? Can I fix it without removing or disabling PulseAudio? It seems like it would be a huge pain. [01:07] <[TiZ]> Removing/Disabling pulse, that is [01:07] georgy_28: md1 is active RAID10 with 'missing /dev/sdc1 missing /dev/sdd1' and md0 is active RAID1 with '/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1' [01:07] georgy_28: anything else? [01:07] <\Kira> whats a command line bandwidth monitering tool in the respritories? [01:07] CheesyWeasel: if you want, you could just use ~/.local/share/applications/ to place the .desktop file as well [01:08] [TiZ] try pasuspender dosbox [01:08] any body know how to fix this? fixme:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory MEM_WRITE_WATCH type not supported [01:08] <[TiZ]> Okay. [01:08] Dolo edit the wine source code and fix it [01:08] Kira i believe nmap and iptraf [01:09] how do i edit the source code to fix it [01:09] http://pastebin.com/d6b2f0ee6 [01:09] link ? [01:09] jrib: just put it in there? [01:09] Dolo learn programming languages, learn the open source svn/cvs structure, download svn wine, edit, submit a patch [01:09] Dolo: the source code for development purposes is available via cvs checkout on wine-hq [01:09] these are the debian/ubuntu-caused errors: http://pastebin.com/d6b2f0ee6 [01:09] <[TiZ]> OxDeadC0de, it didn't work. I'm using Spear of Destiny as a test case, and shooting one shot with my machine gun. There's about 0.5s of lag between the shot appearing and me hearing it. [01:10] <\Kira> eseven73: thanks :) [01:10] I have a Gateway MX6440 and it seems to be slow when it comes to Ubuntu with Gnome and sometimes KDE. Any ideas for what to look at to fix this?? [01:10] yw [01:10] [TiZ] then it's not pulseaudio's fault, pasuspender suspends pulse [01:10] i installed intrepid on this lenovo y530 today and can't seem to get the sound to work properly. can someone please help me. [01:10] CheesyWeasel: yes, that should work. You might want to check the differences between what your current vlc.desktop is however, just to see what is changing [01:10] [TiZ] check your dosbox config files [01:10] so ur saying uve got no idea how to fix it so i should go learn everything and fix it myself? [01:11] Dolo: that's how programming works, yes [01:11] Dolo or wait until someone else learns everything and fix's it themself [01:11] <[TiZ]> OxDeadC0de, no it doesn't. Apparently not. I just started up a song in QuodLibet. I did pasuspender dosbox, and I can still hear it. [01:12] i have a problem with volume control on my hp pavilion dv1000 laptop. when i press the volume up/down buttons or use the sytem tray volume control slider, it randomly mutes as you try to progress volume up or down [01:12] it's really strange and random behavior [01:12] [TiZ] then killall pulseaudio -9 === jack_ is now known as linuxer [01:13] Anyone have an idea of how to match a device (eg /dev/sr0) to its 'name'... eg in dmesg I see "NECVMWar VMware IDE..." [01:13] fryguy: welcome back [01:13] OxDeadC0de: never left. [01:13] jrib: just a bunch of new MIME info [01:13] <[TiZ]> Okay, just killed pulse. [01:13] jrib: i used yours. nothing [01:13] <[TiZ]> And now I have no sound at all. [01:14] I'm trying to install ubuntu as a dual boot on a machine with a intel ich9r fakeraid raid 1 setup w/ 2 mirrored drives. I'm using the alternate CD, but it chokes when I try to resize the existing ntfs partition on teh volume "partman: Error running 'ntfsresize --info' [01:14] any thoughts? [01:14] TriBeCa99, : sorry but not sure what to do, but try : mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 [01:14] CheesyWeasel: right, I'm guessing x-content/video-dvd is new. You may need to do some combination of update-desktop-database, restarting nautilus, or logging out and back in [01:14] hi [01:14] jrib: i restarted nautilus. i'll try update-desktop-database [01:15] <[TiZ]> I'm going to purge pulse now. [01:15] CheesyWeasel: how did you restart nautilus? [01:15] jrib: killed it. [01:15] jrib: then ran it again [01:15] no thoughts? [01:15] jrib: the update worked [01:15] jrib: thanks [01:17] Hi , I would like to install ubuntu on my pc...but i ham not so sure which version...what is the difference between Ubuntu Studio 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) [01:17] hello, does any1 know anout setting up auto-ops on ircd-hybrid irc server? Im trying to make it to where when i join my chat it ops me automaticaly, but without an irc bot [01:18] thanks in advance [01:18] boulbul: just the default set of packages that get installed [01:18] how to make grub support 16:10 resolution like 1440x900? [01:18] hi everybody. anybody know where to find a list of ubuntu processes and their priority or neccessity (like black viper's list for windows) so i know which to turn off to improve efficiency? [01:18] xiamx-> such a high resolution just to boot? i dont think so, it was not designed for such [01:19] is there a better channel to ask about fakeraid problems? [01:19] fryguy: I want to be very flexible and install ...what package would you recommend please? [01:19] n8tuser: well, actuallly for console framebuffer, because 4:3 looks weird on a wide screen monitor [01:20] anyone know how to install mongrel on intrepid? [01:20] boulbul: just install a base ubuntu install [01:20] petafile: They know quite a bit abot raid systems in #ubuntu-server [01:20] oh well, bye. Thanks anyway [01:20] gem install mongrel - ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. [01:20] petafile: (if you find someone awake) [01:20] fryguy: thank you [01:21] Hello [01:21] tclduh: apt-get install mongrel [01:21] georgy_28: I can do that fine later... but i need to copy the filesystem over first, don't I? or it won't be able to boot... [01:21] fryguy: ty! [01:22] digitalnorm: are you referring to bootup, or starting an X session? [01:22] Is it possible to use RealPlayer in Ubuntu 64? [01:22] how can i fix a NODHCPOFFERS received error? [01:22] TriBeCa99, : I guess [01:22] xiamx-> still, they were not designed for such high resolution, default is vesa [01:23] r00tl: configure your network router correctly [01:23] In my notebook i can boot only fro m fdd and hdd. So how i can run live CD? [01:23] n8tuser: it's fine to lower the resolution, but I want it to be 16:10, is there any way to do that? [01:23] router is fine, lappy is connected through it..server wont [01:24] YerbaMate: logic would say that you can't. If you can't boot from CD, as you claim, then you can't run the livecd [01:24] xiamx-> i do not think they have made for such ratio === peppe is now known as Guest27958 [01:24] I only have one partition, with Ubuntu, but I want to create a second partition to install another OS on without whiping the data I have. Is this possible? I do have like 80+ gigs free [01:24] Sune: use a partitioning tool like gparted [01:24] fryguy: i don't know audacity is dragging and i think if i turned off some processes it might have enough cpu for itself. [01:24] sune yes partition the space [01:24] r00tl-> wifi? or ethernet? [01:24] digitalnorm: well look at top and see what else is using cpu [01:24] cat6 ethernet [01:25] n8tuser: ok thanks [01:25] gparted? [01:25] Sune: right [01:25] how can i del all files except foo1.tar and foo2.tar in a dir? [01:25] used the same cable with lappy, connects fine. [01:25] centr0: easiest way would be to move those 2 files, rm *, and then move them back [01:25] georgy_28: well i just mounted md1 in a new directory and am trying a sudo cp -R / /dirname/ [01:25] hello q es la que ha [01:25] y [01:25] Fryguy: so how win98 worked? [01:25] Do I want the gparted .iso or .zip download fryguy? [01:25] YerbaMate: no idea, this is #ubuntu, not #wind98 [01:26] Sune: no idea [01:26] win98 never worked [01:26] TriBeCa99, : beter sudo cp -dpR [01:26] fryguy: simple enough. :P [01:26] kay, I'll just guess [01:26] r00tl-> anything unique with your nic card on the server? [01:26] its onboard. === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [01:26] !who | r00tl [01:26] r00tl: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:26] r00tl: is it listed in ifconfig [01:27] georgy_28: ok. running again. it still fails to copy a bunch of stuff from /proc/ and /proc/sys [01:27] fryguy, eth0 reports link encap: ethernet eth0:avahi reports inet addr: 169.254.5.106 [01:28] how to join ubuntu-es, sorrry im a litle drunk [01:28] cvd-pr: /join #ubuntu-es [01:28] cvd-pr: /j #ubuntu-es [01:28] my keyboard won't tab complete anymore, any suggestions? [01:28] hi! [01:28] I have a directory which is displayed as empty in Nautilus but as full of files in terminal [01:29] is say im banned , what the hell [01:29] why is this? [01:29] AndreasMadrid: are the files hidden [01:29] no [01:29] HI all [01:29] AndreasMadrid: hit ctrl+h [01:29] AndreasMadrid: what is the output of ls -a in the terminal, and what directory is it [01:29] fryguy: no. and even if i check the "show hidden files" they don't show up [01:29] fryguy: as it turns out it is memory not cpu. not much i can do about that, right? [01:30] digitalnorm: you can close some things that are using up memory. you can also switch to a different desktop environment that uses less resources like I did [01:30] phorensic ctrl h renders no result, it remains empty [01:30] fryguy: what about more swap? [01:30] fryguy it's a directory that i created for music [01:31] is there a tool that can be used as a wrapper to rcs ? i just to edit the file and the rcs will happend in the background.. in other words i call to edit and right away a rcs copy will check out and as soon as i finish writing .. and close out .. a copy with be checked in [01:31] I'm running ubuntu intrepid, 2.6.27-9-generic kernel. My dvd drive starts being recognized by the system at boot time, as normally it would. However, I did a cd copy (through brasero), and when it asked me to insert a burnable medium (which I did), then shut the tray (laptop, btw), now the system won't even recognize that the dvd drive is there anymore. [01:31] fryguy ls -a shows a long list of files in green color [01:31] AndreasMadrid: Dunno then.. You sure its the same file spelled exactly the same [01:31] how do I reverse an auto upgrade [01:31] phorensic: swap isn't going to solve slow performance [01:32] wx9j: you don't [01:32] fryguy: ahh [01:32] the very same directory [01:32] Green isn't the color for symlink is it? [01:32] it's not, he copied from windows [01:32] hello I have this command " rename 's/\.*\;1//' *.*\;1 " to rename multiple files, but the files are in multiple directories is there a way of making it 'recursive' ?? [01:33] tyrone: find . -type d -exec yourrenamecommandhere \ [01:33] ; [01:33] phorensic I don't know what the colors mean [01:33] thanks [01:34] hi. I have an ubuntu/flash related issue, wanted to ask if someone else observed that [01:34] it's a bright green [01:34] !ask | chefan [01:34] chefan: 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. :-) [01:34] AndreasMadrid: what is the path to the directory [01:34] that was just the prolog to know thw context ;) i don't want to confuse ;) === M25|food is now known as M25 [01:34] someone know how to increase FPS on dosbox [01:34] RequinB4: get a faster pc [01:35] faster video card* [01:35] fryguy: that's helpful, but i remember there being a setting i had to tweak [01:35] video card will do little to nothing [01:35] fryguy: /host/gnutella/complete [01:35] hi everyone [01:35] I was hoping someone could help me [01:35] AndreasMadrid: why are you making new root level directories? [01:35] icefyre: just ask [01:36] fryguy: I'm new to linux. My first week [01:36] I'm trying to complete an install of ubuntu 8.10 using wubi [01:36] ok, so I'm dialed into my other computer with ssh, and I want to run VLC using x-forwarding, but have the video be displayed on the monitor that's connected to that computer. Can it be done? [01:36] thing is, that text input in utf-8 works in windows, even in wine on ubuntu, but with the linux flashplugin on ff3/xubuntu the characterset is not recognized properly and text input fails [01:36] fryguy: I com from windows and have dual boot now for a transition phase [01:36] M25: yes [01:36] AndreasMadrid-> now its a good time to do some tutorials on how to use linux [01:36] So... If the driver it recommends for my nvidea card says it doesn't do GXL.. there's basically no chance of it working eh? [01:36] fryguy: i'm working on a core2duo, and its (still?) slow [01:36] I'm at the reboot part of the install but ubuntu crashes into busybox with no error message [01:36] fryguy: without VNC/RDP? [01:36] and I saved them into the win part, as there i still have more free space [01:36] M25: ssh -X host, then commands you run that need an x server will run on your local x server [01:36] I tried the different menu options [01:36] REquinB4: which core2duo? [01:36] but nothing works [01:36] just keeps crashing [01:37] AndreasMadrid-> get a book or spend lots of coffee time at a bookstore to read up [01:37] when I try to boot up [01:37] how do i change my write permissions [01:37] vyson: to? [01:37] fryguy: yeah, but I want the resulting video displayed on the remote computer's monitor [01:37] hey whenever i press 'shift' key its opening the shutdown/restart thing.. how to fix this? [01:37] anyone have any ideas how I can get it to boot? [01:37] vyson: chmod is used to change permissions [01:37] fryguy: I've got x forwarding working fine [01:37] TriBeCa99: i'm not sure how it matters, but i don' tknow. I'm trying to increase my fps and i remember doing it via some settings somewhere [01:37] n8tuser: i hoped i could do without it. I never read a book on windows either [01:37] M25: your best bet for something like that would be to use xpra. the X11 protocol doesn't work that way [01:38] vyson: what do you want to change the permissions of? [01:38] M25, why not stream the video over the nextwork instead of using x-forwarding? [01:38] AndreasMadrid-> you think things happen by magic eh? hehehe [01:38] fryguy: whats the chmod command i used sudo to install the program then it just hangs there when trying to launch [01:38] fryguy it didn't work [01:38] RequinB4: i was just curious as to whether one would expect it be slow. the older c2d's aren't especially fast anymore :) [01:38] hey whenever i press 'shift' key its opening the shutdown/restart thing.. how to fix this [01:38] tyrone: then you didn't type the command correctly [01:38] jrib: i want to change the permisison of folder [01:38] chmod is used to change the permissions a file is granted [01:38] xzela: because I don't want the video locally, I want to control the remote display of a video locally (using my laptop as a tv remote essentially) but have the actual vido display elsewhere [01:38] tyrone: or it was excaped correctly. review the manpage of find for specific usage details of -exec [01:38] vyson: be more specific. [01:39] u need ot add parameters to the chmod command [01:39] n8tuser on windows they did [01:39] fryguy ok thanks [01:39] AndreasMadrid-> well not is the most opportune time to read a book or do tutorials [01:39] n8tuser i hope, ubuntu is advanced enough already to be mostly intuitive [01:39] can anyone give me a next step to troubleshoot why I'm crashing into busybox when I try to boot? === robbmunson is now known as Robb_Away [01:40] !away > Robb_Away [01:40] jrib: is there a command that i can use that automatically installs the programm without any read write restrictions eg sudo -i [01:40] Robb_Away, please see my private message [01:40] AndreasMadrid-> advanced enuff? what do you meant by that? [01:40] is there a log file I can access via busybox to figure out where I'm crashing? [01:40] I can't access /var/log [01:40] M25: if an X server is already running on the remote machine, you can try using xauth to force authentication to that server and set DISPLAY correctly, but it's likely not going to work [01:40] vyson: why aren't you answering my question? I'm asking it because it sounds like there may be a better way to do whatever it is you are trying to do. [01:41] Hi all. Does anyone know where in Ubuntu is stored default mount point to USB drive? [01:41] vyson: root permissions exist for a reason [01:41] fryguy: yeah, I figured it'd be tough, I assume there's no way to draw directly to the screen without using X? [01:41] vyson: what exactly are you installing? [01:41] Satanislav: /media usually [01:41] it's usually /media [01:41] Satanislav-> mount points are just directories [01:41] jrib: thinkorswim [01:41] fryguy, the command is working but it is not going to every directory [01:41] what is the software source for gimp-2.6? [01:41] M25: there is, but not a remote screen [01:41] !info gimp | keres [01:41] tyrone: find . -type d without anything else will show you every directory it's running in [01:42] gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 4264 kB, installed size 12472 kB [01:42] fryguy: gotcha, thanks for xpra though, that'll come in handy elsewhere [01:42] keres-> have you tried to google for such? [01:42] keres: gimp is 2.6 in intrepid [01:42] jrib: will 2.6 work in 8.04? [01:42] fryguy, yeah =) but inside /media? [01:42] n8tuser: in former times only experts could handle a computer, start it and feed it with long stripes that had holes, now even people without much knowledge can use them. The easier to use, the less the human has to understand the workings of the machine, and the more the machine can be made to do what the human wants, the more advanced is the sytem [01:42] jrib: the thinkorswim folder in my directory has a lock picture on the icon does that mean its write disbaled [01:42] Satanislav: yes [01:42] keres: try getdeb.net, has 2.6 for 8.04 [01:43] keres: probably, yes. But that version is not in the ubuntu repositoires [01:43] I have to exorcise windows from this machine, tried holy water and ubuntu but I keep dumping into busybox, can someone help me get Gnome up and running? [01:43] hey whenever i press 'shift' key its opening the shutdown/restart thing.. how to fix this? [01:43] AndreasMadrid-> ah okay [01:43] n8tuser: till now it looks good. Apart from some probs i had with wifi and now the discrepancy between termianl and nautilus [01:43] fryguy, I mean, for example my iPod mounts to /media/IPOD, I want to change it to /media/ipod, how can I do that? [01:43] n8tuser: they should both show the same content of the same directory, shouldn't they? [01:43] AndreasMadrid-> may i suggested you get really acclimated with command line, dont use gui for a while :P [01:44] Satanislav: change the label inside of your ipod [01:44] DavyZ: either unplug and replug your keyboard (keyboard thinks it's got some buttons stuck) or go to System->Preferences->Keyboard in your menu and poke around [01:44] Satanislav: or take a look at the hal rules in /etc and forcefully override them (not recommended) [01:44] fryguy, don't want. [01:44] jrib: how do i use the chmod command [01:44] vyson: how did you install it? [01:44] n8tuser: that will be hard for me. i love gui. I forget or missspell commands [01:44] AndreasMadrid: if you want to learn Bash/command line: www.linuxcommand.org I think [01:44] Satanislav: the directory is named after the name of the label for the drive you are mountain [01:44] fryguy, thanks for the last one. [01:44] mounting* [01:44] Satanislav-> if you wish, you can look in /etc/udev/rules.d for how udev assigns names to devices [01:45] n8tuser: udev is for /dev stuff, not /media, he needs hal for /media [01:45] hi... [01:45] AndreasMadrid-> you wont forget, you will be more in-tune in no time [01:45] m25 thx. if i really have to..... Hoped to get around it. As for starting my tv set or my car i need no commands either [01:45] n8tuser, thanks a lot, it should be a clue. [01:45] i downloaded the thinkorswim sh file to my desktop then i typed sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh [01:45] vyson: and where did you install it to? [01:45] fryguy-> mount point for such can be dictated by udev rules [01:46] !who | vyson [01:46] vyson: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:46] wow, people can be mean on #gimp [01:46] n8tuser is there also a command line music player? [01:46] verbose mode doesn't show an error for the installer either [01:46] AndreasMadrid-> mplayer yes [01:46] keres: people in almost all linux related channels are mean [01:46] hi, my numpad no longer works, does weird things when i press keys on it [01:46] any idea? [01:46] n8tuser ah, tx [01:46] hi, i'm looking for some help resolving a networking issue with ubuntu [01:46] oops [01:46] reduz: weird things like move your mouse? [01:46] :P [01:46] I just keep being dumped into an (initramfs) prompt [01:46] jrib: i installed it to the folder /usr/local/thinkorswim [01:47] vyson: ok. Now why do you want your user to write there? It doesn't seem like you would need to [01:47] reduz: If it's a laptop, look for the key combo on it which enables/disables the numlock [01:47] icefyre-> umm boot in windows, and redo the wubi install [01:47] AndreasMardid: There are also a few ncurses based cli jukebox's that are nice, some work on machines slower than 166mhz.. [01:48] AndreasMadrid: mpd has a couple of command line clients available for it [01:48] AndreasMadrid: that's the good thing about computers, if the abs fails on your car's brakes, you crash and eventually die. Without in depth computer knowledge you just reboot/reinstall [01:48] jrib, genii: it makes my mouse select the text under it [01:48] this is the second time I'm running the wubi installer on this PC [01:48] two different ubuntu CDs [01:48] n8tuser mplayer not installed by default. but the GUI players are by default like rhythmbox [01:48] oh actually [01:48] beacause every time i launch the program the program hangs there beacuse it automatically trys to download the latest version the program checks for the latest version [01:48] official ones [01:48] jrib: beacause every time i launch the program the program hangs there beacuse it automatically trys to download the latest version the program checks for the latest version [01:48] hey i just wanted to print a page not from top to bottom but widthwise...is it possible [01:48] genii, jrib: my numpad seems to be controlling the mouse, yeah, out of nowhere [01:48] reduz: ctrl-shift-numlock [01:48] how do you find out what type of processor you have without having physical access to the machiine? [01:49] i'm looking for a recovery system for ubuntu, is there such thing? [01:49] jrib, oh thanks, that fixed it! [01:49] im looking for help with a networking issue with ubuntu. i have a computer running openbsd setup as a router/dhcp/dns server, and it resolves my windows xp computers name correctly, as well as itself and even a wii, however the ubuntu computer i am on cannot be resolved. i think it may be an issue with the domain the ubuntu computer is in. what is the proper way to set the domain name (not for samba) in ubuntu? (other possible s [01:49] olutions welcome) [01:49] AndreasMadrid-> just about most gui's have command line behind them [01:49] vyson: delete your current installed version, rerun the installer without sudo, and install it in your HOME somewhere [01:49] xzela: cat /proc/cpuinfo maybe? [01:49] xzela: ssh to it, and cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:49] n8tuser: it takes me hours to type a long song title, a doble.click not even a second [01:49] hey i just wanted to print a page not from top to bottom but widthwise...is it possible [01:49] info grub ? how to print all of texinfo not just top node? [01:49] AndreasMadrid: typing things out in whole isn't the way to do things [01:49] hey i just wanted to print a page not from top to bottom but widthwise...is it possible how can i do it [01:49] xzela: Study output of lshw -class cpu [01:49] anyone? [01:49] cool, worked, thanks [01:50] n8tuser: they may have behind whatever they want, command lines or working gnomes, as long as i can use the GUI and the outcome is the o ne i want [01:50] BlackBatMan: the livecd has plenty of facilities [01:50] BlackBatMan: what sort of recovery system [01:50] AndreasMadrid-> are you here to argue or you going to read a tutorial? [01:50] jrib: how do i ind my home root folder [01:50] jrib: how do i find my home root folder [01:50] vyson: it's ~ [01:50] fryguy: it doesn't do autocompletion after the command mplayer. at least not here [01:50] fryguy jpdota: sometimes, i do something to ubuntu and it stops functioning. [01:50] Jpdota-> is the ubuntu using a good hosts file or nameserver ? [01:50] AndreasMadrid: it should be [01:51] vyson: by HOME, i just meant your user's home directory. Probably /home/vyson or whatever your username is [01:51] fryguy, the problem is that it is executing the command multiple times on the main folder it does not do it into the folder it finds. how can i enter the folder and then execute the command [01:51] hey AndreasMadrid , try cmus, it's tiny, works in a terminal ^^ [01:51] n8tuser: I'm going to restart, as nautilus has shown the files before. must be a temporal thing. This way i awaoid the ugly CLI [01:51] n8tuser: yes the hosts file is good, and it's using the same nameserver as all the other devices (xp, wii, bsd, etc) [01:51] ÷åé ýòî èðö ñåðâåð?

[01:52] digitalnorm: i run xmonad [01:52] *-) [01:52] Hi [01:52] fryguy,i am reading it i can't find anything but i'll keep looking [01:52] vyson: ~ just means /home/vyson usually. It's easier to type [01:52] vyson: ~ represents your home directory in any command that you type [01:52] n8tuser: it's not an issue with the dns server itself, as all the other machines work fine [01:52] well, gotta go folks [01:52] somebody speak spanish?

[01:53] Jpdota-> you said the ubuntu address is not resolved by others? or the ubuntu can not resolve the other hosts? [01:53] jrib: so when i tell the program to install to a folder if i type ~/thinkorswim is that the same as /home/vyson/thinkorswim folder [01:53] spyke: No, no soy Andrea, soy Andreas.

[01:54] Vives en Madrid? [01:54] spyke: but i think, there's a spanish room as well [01:54] Jpdota-> are they using hosts file or the name server you have? [01:54] * cellofellow laughs at how many people get confused with !es. [01:54] spyke: si [01:54] n8tuser: the nameserver [01:54] i know "apt-get/aptitude search" searches the package names [01:54] digitalnorm: when you log in, there is a session button at the bottom of the screen, you can choose different ones that are installed there, or if you want to run a custom script like i do, pick Xclient script and it will run ~/.xsession for you and then you can spin up whatever environment and sequence of commands that you want [01:54] Orale [01:54] Bueno, yo soy de Mexico (I'm from Mexico) [01:54] spyke tu eres mexicano, supongo [01:54] ah [01:55] Jpdota-> and you know for sure that the ubuntu has an A record there?

[01:56] bye [01:56] Jpdota-> can you clarify that a lil bit? how is the dynamic update and dhcp work together to update your dns ? [01:56] cellofellow, nice, thanks [01:57] n8tuser: it uses rndc to communicate between the dhcp server and the bind9 server [01:57] why sometimes i can join ubuntu-es an sometimes is say 'im banned'? === Robb_Away is now known as robbmunson [01:57] fryguy, I got it working [01:57] Jpdota-> how often does the bind9 gets the update from the dhcp ?

[01:58] OK i will try [01:58] I'm a beginner on Ubuntu [01:59] And Linux [01:59] OS [01:59] are the legacy NVIDIA drivers ready for 8.10? or should i just stick with 8.04? [01:59] Jpdota-> well you can trace your dhcp leases and compare to your bind9 entries. [01:59] how can i se the stupid things i write in xchat? [01:59] !enter [01:59] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:59] fryguy you got cut off at ".

[02:01] jrib: can you help me, would i be able to install it using the sudo -i command [02:01] fryguy, your charisma levle up +1 [02:01] To quit from root, only write: exit [02:01] n8tuser: no real need i suppose. some neat features like a tabbed nautilus and the away /IM stuff would be nice [02:01] Jpdota-> well you can trace your dhcp leases -- ie look at what ip address name was assigned to ubuntu, then compare with the entry in bind9 ? [02:01] xtreme: only if your battery is unplugged, but then everything else would fail too [02:01] Which program or script automatically mounts a removable drive in Ubuntu? [02:01] Satanislav: hal [02:02] whats does the sudo -i command do? [02:02] Satanislav, etc [02:02] chefan: lol, yes [02:02] n8tuser: also, i would like to use the dark room desktop theme [02:02] Satanislav-> i told you earlier , its udev rules [02:02] !hal [02:02] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [02:02] vyson: starts an interactive shell as the root user [02:02] vyson, sudo -i give you sudo su access with clean environment variables and a root home [02:02] xtreme: sorry, could not resist. depending on the version you are using at least not generally [02:02] chefan: why my keyboard stops working? [02:02] !autofs [02:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about autofs [02:02] vyson: Puts you in an interactive sudo session. Use exit to go back after executing root things after [02:03] i have/had ubuntu running on various machines now and never had that issue [02:03] xtreme: usb keyboard? [02:03] n8tuser: no because the bind9 entries are held in a journal for a while, and it seems from the dhcp leases file the names may be kept in the dhcp leases file [02:03] chefan: no.. Laptop keyboard [02:03] plus a lot of usb devices attached? [02:03] ah, ok [02:03] fryguy, where does it keep its preferencies? /etc/hal? [02:03] Satanislav: no idea [02:03] im using bit transmission, how can I speed up the downloads with it, I notice it's pretty slow. [02:03] fryguy: when i type in sudo -1 sh./thinkorswim_installer.sh i get the error /bin/sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file [02:04] droopsta915: it's going as fast as your network hardware and the clients you are connected to allow [02:04] fryguy: what does that mean how can i fix [02:04] xtreme: just for curiosity, what brand of laptop? did you review the HCL? [02:04] thanks fry [02:04] Jpdota-> you following me right? is the bind9 getting the update immediately from dhcp? or the info on it is stale? [02:04] chefan: Dell E1405 [02:04] Satanislav: udev rules are what decides what usb device gets mounted where. === edson is now known as epcanto [02:04] vyson: just sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh === epcanto is now known as edsoncanto [02:04] Chefan: Ubuntu version Ubuntu 8.10 [02:05] hmm, iirc dell even delivers with ubuntu, so basic stuff like that should work [02:05] n8tuser: the info is "stale" but that's misleading, as it is updated fairly quickly [02:05] cellofellow, /etc/udev/rules.d [02:06] ? [02:06] fryguy: when i just use that command i can install the program but when i try to launch the program after installation the program automatically download latest version which makes the program just hangs there doesn't launch [02:06] what you could try is using a couple of live cd's to test if something got fubared in the latest release [02:06] chefan: how to debug this weird issue? [02:06] Jpdota-> all am saying is compare what the leases have and what is in bind9, if they dont match what is assigned to ubuntu, then ..you know ... [02:06] vyson: so then install it to a location that you have more access to, like your home directory === edsoncanto is now known as edson [02:06] chefan: Okay [02:07] xtreme: very difficult. 1st try would be to attach an external keyboard [02:07] Satanislav-> http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [02:07] chefan: hmm.. ok [02:07] and get a second box to connect to the laptop via ssh [02:07] fryguy: when i try to install it to the home directory /home/vyson i get the errror cannot create all files [02:07] it's a bit difficult to debug stuff without even a keyboard to use :D [02:08] chefan: OK.. then [02:08] can someone tell me why im banned from ubuntu-es, it those no make sense [02:08] anyone here have a what.cd account? think you can send me and invite?????????? [02:08] chefan: i will install another linux flavor ;-) [02:08] are the legacy nvidia drivers useable in ubuntu 8.10?

I've got it going (it's really nice) but I'm running dual monitors and would like the doc to stick one or the other monitors not dead center .. (AWN did well to stay to one side, but it isn't half as smooth as ciaro's) [02:09] n8tuser: yes, however i believe it's an issue with ubuntu itself, as the other systems work fine, do you know where ubuntu gets its domain information from? [02:09] ...any grub pro's hangin about?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:09] >?] [02:10] OH!! i have real important question how do i turn off the brightness app? my bios has it's own control of it and i wanna turn it off please help me this is very anoying (ubuntu 8.10) [02:10] Jpdota-> wait a minute i thought you said it was the other hosts that is having a problem resolving ubuntu's ip address? or is it the other way around? [02:10] fryguy: Roger dogder - want to modify the grub.conf on an internal HD to allow me to boot to a USB Ubie install [02:11] YankDownUnder: you can't, use your bios to select the boot drive [02:11] n8tuser: yes the other hosts are having issues resolving ubuntu's ip, which would make me think that ubuntu is giving the dhcp server the wrong dns domain (therefore the dns server wouldn't associate it with the proper zone etc) [02:11] Jpdota-> ubuntu could be a printer and does not care how the other hosts are resolved yes? [02:11] i'm building a new system with ubuntu as my primary OS. but i need to run windows sometimes for video editing software (I'm not aware of linux software that supports AVCHD yet). [02:11] hello all. on my hard drive #1 i have winxp, and an area of free space after it, then several linux partitions after that containing a linux installation, which contains the /boot that grub is installed to. ubuntu is on hard drive #2. today i went into winxp and partitioned that free area and formated it with winxp's disk mananger. now grub doesn't know what to make of my mbr it seems. i get an error 18. is there a way i can chroo [02:11] I have a single 1TB drive. Looking for suggestions on partitioning, virtualization, etc before I start. [02:11] can someone please help me with this please!!!! i wanna remove the brightness app cuz my bios alreay controls it [02:11] Why the hell linux users ask simple question that no one ask in windows? [02:11] fryguy: No go on the BIOS - unfortunately, my BIOS does not boot to USB....bad luck for me... [02:12] Jpdota-> is ubuntu using dhcp ? dhcp server controls what is dole out no the dhclient (well it can request it uses a specific ip) [02:12] yeah [02:12] would anyone be able to tell me if rtorrent saves the status of torrent downloads on close? [02:12] help [02:12] n8tuser: it's using dhcp [02:12] !grub | onetinsoldier [02:12] onetinsoldier: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:12] Tyrath: of course it does [02:12] and if so where do I resume the torrent download from? [02:12] tauren: I suggest if you don't need 3D just use VirtualBox (not the default Ubuntu but the one from virtualbox.org) or just dual boot. [02:12] Tyrath: Should do - unless yer in NSW then it won't :) [02:12] Jpdota-> okay, what is the ip address doled out to the ubuntu? and the host name ? [02:12] Tyrath: next time you restart rtorrent it will pick up where it left off, assuming it's been configured correctly [02:12] does ubuntu server edition has GUI? [02:12] fryguy: so say I wanted to resume a download, how would I do it? [02:13] i need help [02:13] ------------> does ubuntu server edition has GUI? [02:13] bertoxxx: not by default, you can install one if you want [02:13] YankDownUnder: haha. i definately don't live there :D [02:13] Tyrath: you start rtorrent again [02:13] i install flash on ubuntu but i cant hear anything [02:13] Tyrath: Should automagically start/resume m8 [02:13] Became an hero? [02:13] thanks fryguy [02:13] ? [02:13] fryguy: sweet. i thought you had to manually allocate a directory [02:13] can someone help me disable the brightness app [02:13] Tyrath: no [02:13] n8tuser: the ubuntu computer has the ip 192.168.0.6 it's hostname is chinchilla [02:13] fryguy: how long does it store the download parts for before they get removed? [02:14] can't right click on desktop [02:14] Tyrath: it stores them until you remove them [02:14] please, send me to ubuntu-es [02:14] awesome thanks YankDownUnder, fryguy [02:14] the GUI for ubuntu server is another file download or included in the ISO? [02:14] ciao everyone - i'm downloading so want to leave to give the download a chance [02:14] bertoxxx: download [02:14] ok [02:15] Jpdota-> no domain name attached to it? [02:15] hey hey is there any way to disable the brightness app in ubuntu 8.10 [02:15] !repeat | jkristheking [02:15] jkristheking: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:15] Zzzz [02:15] lol [02:15] n8tuser: currently in the /etc/hostname file i have the domain wachusett.local. attached to it, because that's what you do on other distros and *bsd [02:15] why is it that the JJ x86 Alpha 2 torrent is up and there were no seeder? [02:16] fryguy: what i really wanted to know i could chroot into my /, mount /usr, and boot and run update-grub from the install. i think i can. what i wanted was someone who has some experience with chroot and this type of situation to confirm whether that will work ok. [02:16] right now i'm the only one [02:16] n8tuser: so the full name in the hostname file is chinchilla.wachusett.local. [02:16] onetinsoldier: no idea why you think you need to chroot to redo grub, but sure [02:16] Jpdota-> which hostname file are you referring to? ubuntus? [02:16] onetinsoldier: Heya bud! :) [02:16] Firefishe: hi man [02:17] n8tuser: yes [02:17] so i noticed in winblows this processor is running @ 1.0ghz instead of the 2.0 it *should* be running at. it feels kinda clunky too, can i see what the processor is clocked at? i didn't see anything in the registry to set the clock speed. [02:17] onetinsoldier: When you get a sec, I'd like to run a question by ya. [02:17] arrrghhh: clock speed is set in bios, not in the OS [02:17] Firefishe: ok, what is it? [02:17] Jpdota-> and the dhcp server is dolling out that name chincilla? [02:18] http://pastebin.com/m49c16f2b [02:18] what does that mean? [02:18] n8tuser: no, that's the name i setup when i installed ubuntu [02:18] fryguy: there was no setting for it in the bios. [02:18] nautilus stopped working all of the sudden, it happend while i was formating a dvd [02:18] arrrghhh: that should be bios settings or acpi [02:18] fryguy: i thought these new(er) laptop processors will underclock themselves to save power [02:18] Jpdota-> okay, can you post in pastebin the dhclient.conf file of ubuntu? [02:18] arrrghhh: they do [02:18] but it's plugged in, so i don't see why it would be underclocking itself. [02:18] onetinsoldier: I've had to recent problems happen to me, both identical in the end result, but involving the same thing: I try to copy an audio cd, then burn it to another cd. When I put in the second cd, close the drawer, the system suddenly won't recognize the drive. I can't eject, and no software I use can see the dvd drive anymore. [02:19] n8tuser: sure one second [02:19] onetinsoldier: I have to reboot to get control of the dvd drive back [02:19] arrrghhh: pretty much every processor on the market does that [02:19] fryguy unless he's using frequency scaling :O [02:19] lastlog arrrghhh [02:19] what brand of laptop, arrrghhh ? [02:20] chefan: hp pavilion zv6000 [02:20] amd 3200+ 64 bit. 2.0ghz. [02:20] 32-bit windows and ubuntu. [02:20] anyone tried huawei e160 HSDPA modem with ubuntu 8.10? [02:20] Hey [02:21] I've got a dell inspiron 1420N [02:21] arrrghhh unless you set the frequency manually using the userspace frequency scaler, it will set your cpu frequency to the lowest available until more speed is needed (If you have cpufreq modules running) [02:21] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m4142aed0 [02:21] The sound worked when I first got it, but after updating the kernel from update-manager, the sound doesn't work [02:21] OxDeadC0de: default install of ubuntu and windows. i only saw it underclocked in windows. [02:21] where can i see the clock speed in linux? [02:21] arrrghhh-> dmidecode and see if it matches what you expect [02:21] I'm assuming I need to recompile the kernel, but could use some help with that [02:22] arrrghhh cat /proc/cpuinfo by default I think ubuntu has cpufrequency scaling off, you need to turn it on manually to take advantage of power savings === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [02:22] n8tuser: i set the hostname while looking for possible solutions, but it does not seem to have made a difference [02:22] onetinsoldier: Get this just now! I put a cd-rw in my drive, go to bring up k3b, and the entire K-Menu, Applications menu is blank. [02:22] n8tuser: i set the hostname while looking for possible solutions, but it does not seem to have made a difference (in that file) [02:22] onetinsoldier: nm, it was scrolled down too far [02:23] ok it looks like i linux it is running at 2.0ghx. [02:23] ghz [02:23] Jpdota-> try to replace line 15 with send host-name ""; and re-request an ip address [02:23] onetinsoldier: I'm going to reboot and try something...I'll brb [02:23] n8tuser: alright one second [02:24] Jpdota-> just like i typed it.. send host-name ""; [02:24] anyone know how to write a seqenence in Shell .... used to be seq 1 10 did it not? [02:24] n8tuser: right, like the default [02:24] Jpdota-> not "chincilla" [02:24] n8tuser: right [02:24] Firefishe: i don't know that i can help with that. kernel 2.6.27? have you checked in /var/log/messages about this? i had problems with kernel 2.6.27 myself when it comes to my dvd drive. when trying to install from burned lived cd .iso, i would get kernel error message --> end_request: Buffer I/O in sector xxxx. i checked the md5sum, it was ok. re-downloaded the .iso anyway. re-burned several times, low speed the last few times, [02:25] n8tuser: still not resolving [02:25] Jpdota-> give it a few secs.. also again look at the dhcp servers leases, see which ip address and name it assigned [02:25] i guess i don't really care why windows is underclocking it. [02:26] arrrghhh it's to save power and make it generate less heat so the unit lasts longer [02:26] OxDeadC0de: even when it's plugged in? [02:26] arrrghhh-> windows is feeding you FUD hehehe [02:26] arrrghhh when your system is under load windows will bump up the cpu speed.. even when it's plugged in [02:26] OxDeadC0de: hrm. okie. do i have to do anything to enable this in ubuntu? [02:27] arrrghhh yes: enable the cpufrequency module for your cpu in the kernel, and a few governors (userspace, powersave, performance) [02:27] then you can run the cpufrequency scaling applet in gnome or kde [02:27] n8tuser: no such luck [02:27] How do I find my gateway address? [02:28] That im using right now [02:28] Jpdota-> what info does the dhcp server have for your ubuntu? [02:28] iwconfig [02:28] Jpdota-> what about the bind9 after it got a feed from the dhcp server?

[02:34] R0b0t1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] n8tuser: yes, it also has a bunch of ddns information, which ubuntu isn't giving to the server apparently [02:35] R0b0t1: try unplugging your keyboard, restarting your pc and plugging it back in? [02:35] Jpdota-> what you have in your dhclient.conf are pretty much same as mine [02:35] anyone here have any issues in virtualbox where the sound pauses every ~10secs or so when playing music? [02:35] R0b01: try holding shift and hit any letter. If it doesn't type in lower case then it's a problem with the keyboard.\ [02:35] n8tuser: it should be [02:35] ANDREW__ MUST BE THE KEYBOARD. [02:36] R0b0t1: do you know what could've caused this? [02:36] n8tuser: i haven't had to make modifications to any other clients to get them to resolve [02:36] GUESS I'LL RESTART.

[02:37] !fonts [02:37] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [02:37] n8tuser: but everything else "just worked" once bind9 was configured correctly === vic is now known as Guest18134 [02:37] DavyZ: please see ubottu's message [02:37] hmm [02:37] ED54: I'M GOING TO RESTART X REALLY QUICK. [02:37] Jpdota-> i thought you said the dhcp update has the tools to update the dns entries? and now you are telling me manually entered by you? [02:38] robbmunson : a pvt msg?

[02:38] Jpdota-> its not matching up what you told me earlier about auto updating your name server from dhcp [02:38] yeah, its a private message :) [02:38] n8tuser: no, i said the router itself is the only thing with a manually entered A record, all the other clients use the dhcp update [02:39] thanks robbmunson [02:39] Jpdota-> oh okay, you got me confused there [02:39] jrib: did i do a noisy away? i didnt see one in any other room.... [02:39] would some one by chance be willing to help out with a via driver install? I'v read the threads but unfortunately I am in need of super basic help [02:39] jrib: if i did, im sorry.... [02:39] any idea if the 8.10 alternate install CD contains ipw2200 firmware and wpa_supplicant? [02:39] Guest18134: Just ask if we can help we will [02:39] Jpdota-> and when you print out the A records and reverse ptr of your bind9? what does it show for ubuntu's ? [02:40] cool [02:40] Ed54: Restarting X worked. [02:40] whats wrong with the new firefox [02:40] nothing really [02:40] DefunctProcess: Is it crashing your pc?? [02:40] DefunctProcess: opera is better [02:40] back forward doesnt work [02:40] they are greyed out [02:40] DefunctProcess: open a few links [02:41] n8tuser: i haven't been able to do that because for some reason the journal which holds most of the A records is unreadable by cat and mg === venuscapris is now known as marcustr [02:41] Ed54, yea i tried it doesnt work [02:41] Jpdota-> what? those are text files, you can directly look at the zone files [02:41] I know that I have got the .gz folders I need on my desktop but the readme are beyond me and so far the copy and past code from them method hasnt given me the results I was hoping for [02:41] * YankDownUnder is frustrated translating grub dox to human understandable information [02:42] DefunctProcess: that happened to me before and I had to recreate my profile it's either ~/.mozilla or ~/.firefox [02:42] n8tuser: yes, but some records are stored in a journal until the server is restarted [02:42] Guest18134: Did you try double-clicking the .gz and extract the files? [02:42] for sure [02:42] DefunctProcess: try using opera http://www.opera.com/ just to see if you like it [02:42] I'v got them extracted on my destop [02:42] *k [02:43] Guest18134: What is it that u are trying to do install something from source or what? [02:43] Jpdota-> nope, they ought to be in the zone files, it doesnt require a restart of bind9 for zone files to be updated [02:43] Ed54, thats annoying and not helpful [02:43] install the driver pack for the VIA chrome9 video chip [02:43] n8tuser: maybe it is updated at some point, but i haven't seen it happen yet, but i restarted and they're in there, but the ubuntu computer is not [02:44] RequinB4: How do you like the FIOS service? [02:44] DefunctProcess: I just checked and it's the ~/.mozilla directory - I just renamed it but word of caution the new profile will not have your bookmarks - just move that file from the old profile === marcustr is now known as nexus23 [02:44] phorensic: worth every penny [02:44] RequinB4: What are the up and down speeds? === nexus23 is now known as jakob_the_liar [02:44] Jpdota-> what do you mean? when you restarted? which one did you restarted?

It has full-disk-encryption (AES) by default on it, but I don't know how to get it running in ubuntu. I'm not sure tutorials for full-disk-encryption would help since the disk is encrypted real-time on its own, but any advice is appreciated. [02:45] phorensic: i got a gig up earlier [02:45] how do I do that in this window :P sorry for being simple [02:45] Guest18134: you have to be registered [02:45] Jpdota-> so when you restarted bind9 and printed the entries in the zone files -- entry for ubuntu is correct or not? [02:46] n8tuser: the entry for ubuntu doesn't even exist [02:46] requin nice [02:46] Jpdota-> so it means your update is not working, it is not updating bind9 [02:46] oh ok where do I got to register? [02:46] n8tuser: the update is working with the other clients, so it's something with ubuntu [02:46] Hi. I just installed ubuntu for the first time and I want to change my screen resolution. when I go to system->preferences->screen resolution, I get 1024x768 as maximum resolution, but my monitor can do 1280x1024, how can I fix this? [02:47] i need a wrapper editor which integrates revision control ? [02:47] this is to modify config files under a software tree that we use.. all sysadmins making changes to it all the time w/o any revision control.. yikes! [02:47] Jpdota you have windows host on the subnet? [02:47] n8tuser: yep [02:47] almost every program will not open and when i run it in terminal it says "Segmentation Fault" [02:47] n8tuser: but a wii configures itself correctly too [02:47] newbuntu: Check to see if there are any extra drivers to install via the system-admin-hardware drivers manager [02:48] SomeGuy7337: did they work previously? is this a new development? [02:48] Jpdota try to flush their name resolver cache and re-acquire an ip address ,, hoping it gets a different ip address next time it request [02:48] yes they worked for the last month or so [02:48] Jpdota-> then confirm what the entry in bind9 see if it matches [02:48] phorensic: it just says 'no propriatary drivers are in use on this system' [02:48] it just happened when i was changing my theme [02:48] axisys: did you try puppet? [02:48] what architecture is mobile centrino x86 or i686 and whats a command to find out? [02:49] and i can not change it back to the other theme because appearence also crashes [02:49] ok one second [02:49] newbuntu: Try doing a system update and see if that finds drivers [02:49] n8tuser: ok one second [02:49] Hello, the network manager applet 0.7.0 that comes with 9.10 a2 is showing most dialogs blank. Any way to fix this? [02:49] jakob_the_liar: anything PIII or newer is i686, which is a subset of x86 [02:49] phorensic: I just installed all the updates that ubuntu said I should do [02:50] newbuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:50] phorensic: can't I just tell it what kind of monitor I have somewhere? [02:50] does anyone know how to install a USEABLE VERSION OF VIM on 1.10? [02:50] server edition? [02:50] tmba: looking for something simpler.. and not looking for a distributed env.. just for one server where my software is installed .. so only files under that software tree [02:51] phorensic: isn't that the same as the graphical update manager? anyway it just says that no new updates are available (as I said, I just installed updates) [02:51] i seem to have a problem when i switch users, X seems to stop working. My screen is still on (not in stanbuy) but it is just black [02:51] newbuntu: Well if there are uninstalled graphics drivers, I would think it would be preferred to have these installed [02:51] when i try to restart x by ctrl+alt+backspace, i can hear it restart, but still a black screen [02:52] integrated intel on bored vid [02:52] newbuntu: The other option is you can try to edit your xorg.conf file and add the resolution you want .. or reconfigure xorg and select that resolution [02:52] phorensic: there's not graphical tool to do that? :O [02:53] phorensic: if that's really the case, I'd rather install openSUSE again ;) [02:53] i need help [02:53] i accidently screwed up ubuntu [02:54] NGL-Jabrroa: need more info [02:54] lol- apt-get install vim worked [02:54] i'm such a n00b [02:54] sorry lol [02:54] ok so i was trying to install a sound driver [02:54] tclduh: future reference: apt-cache search vim [02:54] cuz my sound was extremely low and i had to strain to hear it [02:54] newbuntu: Im sure there would be off hand I don't know [02:54] I can not really post to ubuntu forum for my problem with "Segmentation Fault" because firefox is one of the things effected. [02:54] Quick question: I'm attempting to xfer files between an old mac and a this current ubuntu machine. Now I wanted to use my network, but I keep on dropping the connection, so I want to try over firewire. Now I have the old mac booted in target disk mode, but it is not showing up on my ubuntu. Is there showing special that I need to do? [02:55] and i booted up after the install wich failed [02:55] n8tuser: no such luck [02:55] hollywoodb: oh wow- so cool [02:55] ty [02:55] and now it wont boot cuz it says some sound folder does not exist [02:55] Jpdota-> what? the xp host was not able to get a new ip address? [02:55] NGL-Jabrroa: I had a similar problem which ended up having something to do with the level of the sound server [02:55] is there no way to create a new folder in ubuntu when viewing files in list mode? [02:56] n8tuser: no the ubuntu computer still isn't resolved [02:56] hi, I need some help with this new (new as in not released onto the market) external seagate hard-drive.

[02:56] the xp computer renews its lease fine [02:57] cheese, people get out and party! [02:57] Jpdota-> using same ip addres does not confirm a new entry gets updated in bind9 [02:57] !midi [02:57] Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [02:57] n8tuser: yes well the dhcp server gives out the same IP :P [02:57] jtisme: i know how to make a directory, but it is rediculous that there is no create folder in the left click menu of nautilis when viewing as a list [02:58] Jpdota-> well you have to figure out how to make sure the same host does not acquire same ip addres durijng the re-request [02:58] so what do i do to fix the boot prob [02:58] Jpdota-> i suspect its the update mechanism is faulty [02:58] just recreate the dir? [02:58] orr [02:58] Hi All. I try to ssh to my ubuntu box using my global ip. I get the login prompt and put password but it tells me access denied. It is also logged in my auth.log file.

How do I tell ubuntu what monitor I have in case it didn't detect it right on installation? (I can only chose 1024x768 as maximum resolution, yet my monitor can do 1280x1024) [03:01] phorensic: tride to do it through terminal using a website [03:01] xim_: I agree, I think there use to be a website that would highlight all of the bad software design...what you described def. belongs to that list :) [03:02] phorensic: which drivers do i need??

[03:08] Is there a way to compress an .iso image yet leave it accessible under Linux, being assured you can undo the compression without any metadata loss? [03:09] or where can i find detailed instructions to run live cd [03:10] naani: what kind of computer do you have? [03:10] Kuwanger: There is tarfs but it is not supplied by anu Ubuntu package [03:10] naani: Did you burn the .iso image to disk? [03:10] yes i have burned the image to the disk using nero [03:11] i am using ibm thinkpad r51 [03:11] naani: that is the right image you've downloaded [03:11] thank god [03:11] jtisme: thanks [03:11] naani: When you downloaded the .torrent file, did you use it with a torrent client to download the actual iso file? [03:12] yes [03:12] utorrent [03:12] naani: No worries then [03:12] naani: If you have burned it correctly you need only to have the pc rebooted and make sure it boots to dvd/cd-rom first and it should auto-load the livecd [03:12] genii: I don't think that'll suffice. If I add the iso image as a whole, it'll take too long to decompress. And if I decompose the iso image into a directory, I might lose important information about file location within the image.

[03:18] snake man mount see how to mount alternate super block(s) [03:18] does aynone know how to connect to someones comuter like remote desktop plz help [03:19] T1: -i option in sudo is: The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. The command name argument given to the shell begins with a `-' to tell the shell to run as a login shell. sudo attempts to change to that user's home directory before [03:19] running the shell. It aso initializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, SHELeL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and unsetting all other environment variables. Note that because the shell to use is determined before the sudoers file is parsed, a runas_default setting in sudoers will specify the user to run the shell as but will not affect which shell is actually run. [03:19] Sune: I hope so. I'd agree with bastid_raZor about it and vmware being similar. Although, I'd say that holds true with vmware workstation and virtualbox.

[03:19] Jpdota-> what happens when other hosts attempts to resolve the xp address when the zone gives .100 but the actual address is .43 ? did you test this? [03:19] cvd-pr: lol, but experimenting with linux is fun [03:19] Ubuntu_noob890: i'll help you until someone else comes along [03:19] hi i seem to have lost a directory somwhere in 1000s of iles and folders is there a command i can use to search for a dir named 'tutorials' thx in advance [03:20] n8tuser: yes, it resolves correctly [03:20] Sune: Hmm..and I was wrong about the latest version. Virtualbox 2.1.0 came out December 17. [03:20] Ubuntu_noob890, :-), sorry iḿ drunk [03:20] n8tuser: as i said, things are kept in the journal before being moved into the zone file [03:20] linny1, cd / find . -name 'tutor*' -print [03:20] Kuwanger: well it's the 19th, so that's recent isn't it? [03:20] !x [03:20] n8tuser: the update mechanism is fine, it's something with ubuntu [03:20] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:20] Jpdota-> and how long is the transfer from journal to the zone file? how often? [03:20] I installed virtualbox 2.1 yesterday, works good for me [03:20] LSbTJzgefXMjGRH: do you have fail2ban or denyhosts installed [03:20] cvd-pr, what's uh drinkin [03:21] jtisme, Finlandia + orange juice [03:21] n8tuser: i'm not sure, i've only seen it transfer when bind is started, but that's sort of irrelevant, as that part works correctly, except for with ubuntu [03:21] Kuwnager: This may sound stupid, but..where did it just go after I installed it? I can't find a run app [03:21] Sune: True. New versions have been coming out nearly monthly. Except for fixing a few glitches, I haven't really noticed many differences since v1.5.6, actually. But, I haven't tried taking advantage of the newer features. === SkullBocks is now known as Pingyou [03:22] Sune; probably applications>system tools [03:22] cvd-pr, wouldnt want yuh head in the mornin [03:22] LSbTJzgefXMjGRH: also do you have a firewall enabled and configured? [03:22] jtisme: no to my friends house [03:22] Sune, VirtualBox installs under Accessories [03:22] Jpdota-> so if I understand your explanation, the bind9 doles out the address from the journal and not from the zone file? [03:22] jtisme: i want to help my friend on his computer [03:22] It's not hiding under either bastid_raZor incubii [03:22] :D [03:22] D:* [03:22] randal, but to a windows or linux machine at your friends house [03:23] jtisme , i dont understan you, inglish is not my primary language [03:23] Hi I have what most likely is a stupid question [03:23] n8tuser: it's a combination of both, it doesn't matter though, as that works correctly [03:23] Sune, could be your menu has just not refreshed yet [03:23] Kuwanger: ciso looks promising [03:23] Sune; i don't remember if it created an icon for itself or not. at one point i had to make my own additions to the menu. [03:23] so, whats with the eee pc saying i got 2 processors ? [03:23] incubii is there a refresh menu console command? [03:23] cvd-pr, it ain't mine ether [03:24] jtisme: cant you just tell me the exact command to try please. i cant find it in man [03:24] Sune: sudo update-menus [03:24] I've put standard ubuntu on a EEE and i'm looking to see if there is a package for the laptop preferences like the quick keys and closing the lid [03:24] jtisme, spanish mine [03:24] Kuwanger no dice D: [03:24] snake cd /; find . -name 'tutor*' -print should do it [03:24] I'll see if I can try and add it [03:24] cvd-pr, russian rusky [03:25] Sune: It didn't run or you don't see a new icon? [03:25] Ltl: i typed sudo -i at the prompt how do i get back to normal promot [03:25] any advanced users that have way too much patience have the time to help out with a driver compiling and install [03:25] jtisme, :-S [03:25] T1: exit [03:25] T1, type 'exit' [03:25] kuwanger: The .deb just finished installing, and I don't see any new icon [03:25] snake exactly as i typed it on one line [03:25] A~/quit [03:25] how do i make the find command list dir as well as files [03:25] jtisme, russian girls are hot! [03:26] hello everyone/ [03:26] Hey everyone, I'm on Hardy here and I can't seem to get Compiz working. I've tried the System, Preferences, Appearances route and it did not work [03:26] Sune: Odd. Not sure where it is. [03:26] jtisme: ok. it doesnt work for me neither. i tried dosfsck [03:26] Contains a free cluster (2928278). Assuming EOF. [03:26] FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster! [03:26] i seem to have lost a DIR named tutorials somwhere in my filesystem is there a command i can use to find it ? [03:27] linny, find by default lists every file/dir that matches expression [03:27] Jpdota-> am curious, can you try my dhclient.conf for your ubuntu? join me at #n8tuser so i dont flood [03:27] Kuwanger: I'll reinstall, and watch the console this time for where it went [03:27] n8tuser: sure [03:27] jtisme: hmm its only listing files ? [03:27] Ltl: when i just type the command sudo and instll the program in my home folder i get the error "cannot create files" does that mean i have to change my write permissions on my home folder ? [03:27] Sune; no need to do that.. it is there just not showing itself in the menu. [03:28] Sune: You should be able to run "which virtualbox" or "which Virtualbox" from console to find at least where the program went. [03:28] Hey is there anyway to skip around the kernal update so i can stay at 8.04 and not upgrade any further, so far i have no upgraded my ubuntu yet and i like 8.04 hardy, but i would still like the applications etc. to be upgraded. [03:28] snake sorry i am answering the wrong question i crossed u up w/someone else hold on let me look up fsck on alt super block [03:28] Any ideas how to fix? [03:28] Does the ntfs-3g tools allow me to format a partition as NTFS? GParted does not allow me to do this and i dont really want a 500gb FAT32 external drive [03:28] snake, first of all are we talking about a Windows file system or a Linux fs? [03:28] T1: the syntax is: sudo 'command' enter password, and it's done. [03:28] I was curious if someone would be able to point me towards any information detailing how to install the UbuntuStudio theme on a Gentoo box, or where to download the latest UbuntuStudio theme [03:28] T1: no quotes [03:29] Sune; /usr/bin/VirtualBox is where the binary is [03:29] Hey is there anyway to skip around the kernal update so i can stay at 8.04 and not upgrade any further, so far i have no upgraded my ubuntu yet and i like 8.04 hardy, but i would still like the applications etc. to be upgraded. [03:29] Pingyou, well doont update thenkernels [03:29] hey [03:29] genii: I've been googling for ciso, but I can't seem to find information on it. [03:29] bastiz_razor the package installer's included files go to usr/share/virtualbox [03:29] well in the update manager i dont know what the kernals are named or is it like linux headers ,etc..etc.. [03:29] Kuwanger: I'm testing it right now, it has 9 compression levels and saves as type cso [03:29] jtisme: yes. i resized a FAT32 of my external HD and changed the label of it. after reboot i got that message [03:29] Pingyou, they should be linux-image-xxxxx [03:29] T1: do not change filesystem permissions without a very good reason. [03:30] so I used startupmanager to try to change my Usplash in Ubuntu 8.10 [03:30] all named linux-image ???? [03:30] Pingyou, yes headers etc... [03:30] Pingyou, yes [03:30] but it erased all my boot enteries in GRUB [03:30] Ltl: i typed sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh and i am having trouble installing to my home directory [03:30] so just uncheck the linux image updates. [03:30] Pingyou, upgrading the kernel does not mean you are upgrading to 8.10 [03:30] Pingyou: You can enable the backports repository, which will give you some updated applications [03:30] Pingyou, linux image [03:30] Pingyou, as long as you applications don't rely on new features in newer kernels you dont need to update the kernel [03:30] Ok. [03:31] Jpdota did you try yet, what i suggested? using different ip address range in your dhcp server? just to ensure every host will get a new ip address when they re-request [03:31] Sune; right that isn't where the binary is though. that is where it stores information about vbox itself and the images you have. [03:31] Pingyou: But there's no easy way to just updated all the applications but not the kernel when you're upgrading. you'd basically have to do the upgrade all yourself to accomplish that. [03:31] Pingyou, why change the engine when you just want to get flashier wheels :) [03:31] so even though I can't get in my linux kernel how can I know what boot entrie I can use to be able to access Ubuntu [03:31] howdy ... have any of you folks installed python 2.6 side-by-side with python 2.5 in ubuntu 8.04? [03:31] bastid_razor : right [03:31] Jpdota and then test the name resolution right away to see how fast the new address gets resolved [03:31] snake i dont work much with windows so i cant answer that i dont know if windows fs has alt super blocks etc. sorry for the confusion ask your question again and specify that the FS is Windows in the question [03:31] jtisme: he has a limux mechine how do i connect to it [03:32] bastid_razor : checking usr/bin [03:32] T1: is the file execetable? chmod 755 thinkorswim-blah, then install. [03:32] because 8.04 works for me. and 8.10 will not allow me to enable my nvidia cards. lol [03:32] jtisme: sorry i took so long to respwn i was on phone [03:32] so i just went back to 804 [03:32] n8tuser: well it's still not working so i can't test how fast it resolves :P [03:32] anyways im off [03:32] T1: executable rather. [03:32] any girl here? [03:32] Bye, thanks for help. [03:32] randal, ssh it the fastest and simplest [03:32] Kuwanger: The info factoid reports it as for converting PSP cd images to iso, but it can be used to compress or decompress any iso file back and forth to cso format [03:32] What's the minimum install size of ubuntu ? (if i were not to allocate 'x'gB of space, how much would it take) [03:32] jtisme: ok thank you [03:32] jtisme: whats ssh plz tell me how to do it [03:32] Jpdota what is not working? the other hosts are not able to acquire a new ip addresses? leave theubunt alone for now, [03:33] Stargazer, i think its around 2gb ? [03:33] randal, how new to linux are u [03:33] i cant mount my external HD. it says : mount : cant read super block. when i try dosfsck it says : root dir starts with a bad cluster. anyone that can help ? thank you [03:33] n8tuser: the ubuntu computer is the only one not working [03:33] a year [03:33] jtisme: a year [03:33] jtisme: i dont know how to use ssh do i download a programm [03:33] ok. how can I look at the files in my root partition even though I am in windows? [03:33] snake is dealing with a windows fs here folks can anyone help him [03:33] n8tuser: the other computers resolve each other fine, and the ubuntu computer can resolve them fine ubuntu itself is not resolved though [03:33] Jpdota yeah but, id rather you confirm that the update is really quick and also the name server resolver cache is cleared [03:34] Ltl: i typed chmod 755 thinkorswim-blah and i get the error chmod: cannot access `thinkorswim-blah': No such file or directory [03:34] remember, everyday is the year of linux! [03:34] jtisme: is it called clusterssh [03:34] n8tuser: we already did that, it updates fine [03:34] Ok, is there a better place to ask this question? [03:34] randal, yes apt-get install openssh-server on both machines as root (sudo) [03:34] Jpdota you have not confirmed yet to me, you have cleared the name server cache [03:34] T1: is the file in your present directory? === NGL-Jabrroa is now known as NGL-Jabrroa_ [03:34] jtisme: thank you. i am just getting crazy because i cant loose what i have inside. i have some really important things so please anyone [03:34] Ltl: yes [03:34] jti [03:35] bastid_razor : brb reboot [03:35] jtisme: ok ill do that right now hold on [03:35] n8tuser: i changed the IP of the xp box, and pinged it from ubuntu and the server right after that [03:35] Jpdota you said the journal had .100 but the zone file had .43 so its not same noh? [03:35] Is there a reccommenened program to use to access the EXT3 partitions? [03:35] randal, then you have the problem of his or your IP address changing due to obtaining them via DHCP [03:35] T1: must be a typo, use tab completion. [03:35] Kuwanger: Hmm. the cso file cannot loopmount with iso9660 specified. [03:35] by the way the external HD is divided in 2 partitions. one of them works perfectly. the other one is the problem [03:35] Ltl: the file is in my desktop called thinkorswim_installer.sh [03:35] genii: That doesn't surprise me. [03:35] jtisme: how do i fix it [03:35] randal, then you have to know how to open up port 22 on both of your modems and routers to access [03:35] n8tuser: the journal is unreadable, but the zone file had .100 and it resolved correctly to .43, it doesn't matter about taht it doesn't work [03:36] each others machines etc. etc. etc. [03:36] Ltl: not sure what u mean by tab completion [03:36] n8tuser: ubuntu is the problem, not the server setup [03:36] T1: I like to mv the file from Desktop to /home/user, then use it [03:37] anyone got a remedy for X-Chats screen lag ? [03:37] Jpdota-> i seriously doubt it, the other hosts querries the bind9 and it doles out stale or invalid address, but thats not coming from ubuntu , its coming from your dhcp server [03:37] randal, if you dont have a static ip then i believe there is some dns thingy you can use ask in this channel about that [03:37] n8tuser: queries to bind9 work correctly [03:37] T1: type cd ; mv Desktop/thinkorswim_installer.sh .. [03:37] n8tuser: ubuntu is the ONLY thing that doesn't resolve [03:38] sweet! [03:38] randal, before installing openssh execute apt-get update [03:38] T1: is should be in /home/username after that. [03:38] it actually backed up the Ubuntu Boot Directories [03:38] jti toolate [03:38] now................... how do I copy them into the boot partition [03:38] jpdota i dont know what to tell yah, its the dhcp feeding the bind9 so ubuntu is sort of out of the picture [03:39] !tab | t1 [03:39] t1: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:39] n8tuser: ubuntu feeds dhcp it's hostname and domain somehow, so it's probably not giving it the correct information [03:39] trying to debug a apt-proxy problem - did ibex start using Packages.bz2 instead of Packages.gz ? [03:39] There is noone in the Audacity room. Anyone here know anything about that program? [03:39] jtisme: im not opening ports on my router is it imposible then [03:40] Aeonis: ask a more specific question please [03:40] T1: type the first few characters and hit tab, if the fir or dir exists it will auto complete. saves typing. [03:40] Jpdota-> well you can use sniffer or tcpdump to really see what ubuntu feeds the dhcp server during ARP request [03:40] randal, cant say for sure google for remote linux access and see what comes up [03:41] Ltl: ok i've done that now when i type sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh it launches the installer and i speficiy the path /home/vyson as the installation path and i get the error "cannot create file" [03:41] Awesome raylu. Well, I can record the first time to test my input. After that, I try to record again after making some changes and I get this error message: "error while opening sound device. please check the input device settings and the project sample rate." [03:41] n8tuser: restarting be right back [03:41] exit [03:41] oops [03:42] I am running smacpack as root and it works but the sound is really messed up i don't know how to described it but it's like someone chopped it up. any clues as to how to fix it? [03:42] help [03:42] randal: no, but very difficult [03:42] T1: try not using the sh part [03:42] Aeonis: no idea. may want to look into disabling pulseaudio [03:42] ubuntu screwed everything up!!!!! Auto update was updating and my system crashed at the same time [03:43] when i login, most things load but gnome seems to take a while loading some icons on the nav bars, then conky takes ages to load, and my wifi doesnt even pop up! Firefox thinks its a fresh installation everytime i load it, everythings pretty fooked! [03:43] i can show list of error reports if i knew where to find them [03:43] T1: the program may need to install in the filesystem, try /usr/local/ as target. [03:44] Ltl: /usr/local doesn't have write access though [03:44] hai [03:44] anybodyy? [03:44] i want to ask..when i shut down my laptop..but my hard disk not turn off..what happen? [03:44] logicport: im here [03:45] where can i find my error reports [03:45] gizmo: if it's in the middle of a write and you're ext3, the journaling should take care of you [03:45] T1: using sudo it should. append the program name, /usr/local/thinkorswim [03:45] logicport-> it takes time for X to paint the screen, and it takes time to load programs [03:45] Ltl; you fail. T1 ; you need to find the binary after you unzip the file. you would run it by doing ./binaryfile while being in that directory [03:45] n8tuser trust me not like this [03:45] and when i shutdown a shite load of errors come up which never came up before [03:46] logicport-> wifi should have been active at boot if you had auto wlan0 in your interfaces file [03:46] bastid_raZor: i have no idea its an extractable file. [03:46] Ltl: do i need to move the installation folder to the usr/local folder [03:46] right it used to do all this till an update screwed it over [03:46] T1: follow bastid_raZor's directions. [03:46] like say gnome loads, but then no wifi thing comes up [03:47] logicport-> what was your reason to upgrade anyways? [03:47] conky dont come up, my screen brightness gets and error [03:47] automatic update [03:47] T1: no on the mv [03:47] my UNetbootin usb boot leads me to the desktop, but how can i still wipeout GRUB and HD from this usb desktop? [03:47] like can u give the command so i can see what errors it gives me [03:48] logicport-> upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ? that kind of upgrade, not update [03:48] Howdy! Laptop opinion question: I'm thinking about buying my wife a Thinkpad (T-42) and slapping Ubuntu on it. She just needs it for internet browsing and DVD watching. Are there any gotchas or good reasons I should avoid Thinkpads? [03:48] right update sorry [03:48] nah it started updating loads of things, then it froze and i had to restart [03:48] then nothing really worked [03:48] DrHackenbush: thinkpads are made of lots of win [03:48] bastid_raZor: how do i find the binary file? [03:48] DrHackenbush: but the ctrl and fn keys are misplaced. but other than that, they're awesome [03:48] restart login everything comes up, but then rest icons on the nav bar take a while to come up [03:48] T1; what type of file did you download? [03:49] and if i shutdown it doesnt shut down, and i have to press power off once again [03:49] raylu: fair enough - no major compatibility issues that you know of? [03:49] DrHackenbush: none that i know of [03:49] and then it comes up in command prompt whilst shutting down that theres loads of errors but i dont have time to see them properly [03:49] T1: execute the file without sudo, the cd into the dir it creates and read README and INSTALL. [03:49] raylu: sweet - thanks for the info :-D [03:49] logicport-> common issue with hanging shutdown is networking, or hald stuck of not getting unloaded [03:49] sorry [03:49] logicport, what if you run 'sudo apt-get -f install' in the terminal? that should continue the update/install [03:49] i ask again [03:50] Ltl: where did you get this file? [03:50] bastid_raZor: a sh file its called thinkorswim_installer.sh [03:50] why its happen when i shut down my laptop but my hard disk still on? [03:50] raylu: not my file, not my dilemma :) ... ask T1 [03:50] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:50] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:50] i know lol [03:50] sorry lol duh! [03:51] ok [03:51] T1; okay, be in the same directory as the file and do ./thinkorswim_install.sh if this gives you errors use sudo ./thinkorswim_install.sh [03:51] can anyone tell me [03:51] logicport, sounds like apt-get is already running from another process [03:51] DrHackenbush, --> http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lctp.html not the specific model you were querying about, but useful info [03:51] why its happen when i shut down my laptop but my hard disk still on? [03:51] how do you install usplash themes that are .tar.gz [03:51] bastid_raZor: um...

[03:58] anyone ever used vnuml? [03:58] bastid_raZor: i doubt that even makes sense. fail. [03:59] ubuntu roxs [03:59] does anyone know how to restart XDMCP remote desktop from command line?

[03:59] zetharx, nvidia by any chance? [03:59] Ltl; some 3rd party scripts will detect if they have been installed before and will give the option of uninstalling. [04:00] zetharx, sorry wrong highlight [04:00] zetheroo, nvidia by any chance? [04:00] T1: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/folder install it i your home dir instead [04:00] Ward1983: no ... Intel ... [04:00] i want to run Dynamips in ubuntu 8.10... how i can do it? tnx [04:01] bastid_raZor: since we have no idea what this program is, we're both shooting in the dark. [04:01] zetheroo: I think if you dont have nvidia easiest way is to edit the xorg.conf file [04:01] zetheroo, sorry dunno then [04:01] ok [04:01] unless your display manager finds the other display [04:01] well I can do clone screen [04:01] but want to do Dual Head [04:02] T1: i advise you to read the install instructions from wherever you obtained this program. [04:02] zetharx, you will need to use Xinerama then [04:02] doh [04:02] finaly im in.pls gawdd..dont ban this ip [04:02] zetheroo, use Xinerama [04:02] hi [04:02] anyone in here using autofs through ldap with binddn+tls? [04:02] Hi, does anyone use successfully the proprietary ati drivers? [04:03] incubii: is that in Synaptic [04:03] zetheroo, it should be [04:03] arturo_on_rails: No but i have heard of many people having success with it [04:03] Ltl; it does not matter where the program is installed as long as the program itself knows where to find the files it needs to run. [04:03] Ltl; and yes, i agree since this is a 3rd party game/application it should not be support in this channel. [04:03] phorensic: My machine hard-locks as soon as it starts [04:04] zetheroo, you can try going to the screen resolution window in system -> preferences and click detect displays, but i think you can only mirror from there [04:04] hello anyone answer my query pls?

[04:04] Ward1983: yes its only cloning [04:04] raylu: it only happens on logging in, for example it loads half then takes ages 2 load the rest, when before it used to come up everytime, and now for example i run firefox and everytime i open it i thinks its a fresh install, and all my bookmarks are gone to [04:04] incubii: I am not finding it in Synaptic [04:04] daniel you there [04:05] Ltl; none at all, tired and cranky on this end. my apologizes [04:05] zetheroo, sorry dunno then, never used intel GPUs so far [04:05] why would gnome autostart something that has its checkbox set to false in the sessions autostart thing?

Hardy :) [04:07] gizmo its running from the battery [04:07] zetheroo: ah ok. yeah i think that still pays attention to xorg.conf [04:07] maco, i dunno i didnt try it with interpid but it used to work on everything before that, did they somehow get rid of it? :s [04:07] how do i force certain applications to start in certain places? like i want pidgin to start in the upper right, but i wants to start in the upper left. [04:07] jtisme: so how to turn off? [04:07] SomeGuy7337: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages in a term window, launch something and read the errors in the messages file.

[04:09] gizmo remove the battery and see if it stops. reinsert the battery see if it starts back up [04:10] gbear14275: safer to use brasero and burn as 'image' [04:10] maco, also: nvidia-settings still has the "save to xorg.conf" option [04:10] Ltl: i didnt understand any of that... im running gnome but other than that im clueless [04:10] gizmo, exodus_ms asks a good question is it a fan?

[04:24] can some please tell me where i can find the errors which are shown whilst shutting down [04:24] Blip, right now its probably using your internal card [04:24] Ltl: What's the default, for the entire folder of /var/log [04:24] Neurologic: the login bit is gdm, I'm not sure what the package that provides the splash is called.

[04:40] ik: i had to disable shift+space on scim because my mom kept typing it when she used all caps on forms...she could've just used capslock. i know for a fact her (now my) typewriter has capslock [04:40] logicport: or perhaps you need better friends :( [04:40] well basically im having a shite load of problems [04:40] MHz128: you can use SSH, it's the quickest and easiest, but requires that you know ea. computers' password [04:40] <_cb> Installed compiz on an x200. No problems. Played a bit with the cube and effects. Pretty solid. Is it solid or am I just lucky? (Internet makes it sound as if it is not completely stable yet) [04:40] alot to do with gnome i think, firefox, network manager ect... [04:41] rdw200169, ok thats easy, so... plug the cable in, then connect somehow [04:41] ? [04:41] like for example its running fine now, except i cant load firefox properly, thinks its a fresh install [04:41] MHz128: well, first you have to get networking to work: [04:41] and i cant take screenshots [04:41] MHz128: simply, without getting into zeroconf and all that, just assign this: [04:41] logicport: yeah, n-m is buggy as hell, at least from my experience. It seemed to trade some bugs for others between 8.04 and 8.10 [04:41] How do I get the compiz effect manager to show? [04:41] but whilst loading after logging in, it seems not load everything and when it finally loads, my wifi icon shows up, conky opens, and rest icons on gnome bar load [04:41] MHz128: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 on computer A, and 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 on computer 2; [04:42] MHz128: gateway and dns are not required in this situation, just ip and subnet [04:42] logicport: well yeah, gnome is slow and takes forever to start. It happens. [04:42] Hi - Is it possible to install Songbird ? ? [04:42] MHz128: with the cable plugged in on both sides, and the interfaces 'up', you should be able to ping back and forth, unless you're running a firewall [04:42] yes BUT it never used too untill and update came along for few things, updated, it crashed and then since then its foooked [04:43] <_cb> Muzi you have to install the compizconfig-settings-manager [04:43] Can not find Songbird in Synaptic...... [04:43] nite_johnboy: It doesn't seem to be in apt, you'll have to install it manually. [04:43] MHz128: disregarding that, you can simply install ssh-server on both; and use Places -> Connect to Server... [04:43] nite_johnboy: http://getsongbird.com/download/ # here [04:43] ik; That's what it was looking like to me as well. [04:43] MHz128: selecting Service type of SSH, and inputting the opposite IP address [04:43] Cb- thank you [04:44] MHz128: all the other info in the COnnect to Server.. dialog is not necessary, it will just use defaults [04:44] nite_johnboy: it's not a huge deal. You can use checkinstall when you compile it to generate a .deb (for easy removal/updating later) [04:44] does ssh-server have a gui frontend? [04:44] MHz128: that is the quickest and easiest way to perform the task you're referring to [04:44] MHz128: there's not much to frontend.. [04:44] <_cb> Muzi once you install it to get the cube you have to go into preferences-->Compiz-->Enable the cube. Click wheel button on the dektop [04:44] * Panarchy says Hi [04:44] MHz128: no, it doesn't need one; after you install it, it should go ahead and run it with defaults === vic is now known as Guest38286 [04:44] Does anyone here knowhow to sort packages by size? [04:45] I'm trying to install Intrepid on a computer that already has an NTFS partition. I used ntfsresize to resize it to 30GB but I'm not sure how to do the installation past that in terms of rearranging the partitions. [04:45] Panarchy: yes, I told you the answer to that already. [04:45] MHz128: then, when you try to do the Connect to Server... it will ask for the computers password, which i'm expecting you to know [04:45] By rearrange, I mean using fdisk to officially resize the partition ;) [04:45] MHz128: oh, and you put in the user name for the opposing computer === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [04:45] Panarchy: I gave you a specific phrase to google, the VERY FIRST result contains several answers to your question. [04:45] jk: Sorry, must've missed it, restarted my computer [04:45] Panarchy: *ik [04:45] lol Panarchy you still trying to clean up your hdd? [04:45] <_cb> pingveno why use fdisk instead of Ubuntu? [04:45] eseven73, nope, never had the need to [04:46] ah maybe it was someone else [04:46] MHz128: so technically, you're SSH'ing into user@192.168.0.X for file transfer; it pops up into a Nautilus-file manager window which you can use just like the normal file manager [04:46] rdw200169, cool..... uhh how do I set those IPs on both machines? [04:46] eseven73: just need to free enough space so that my custom ubuntu distro will fit on one CD [04:46] jk: Sorry, must've missed it, restarted my computer, please tell me again [04:46] MHz128: System -> Administration -> Network [04:47] right bugger it, its gonna be easier for me to backup and reload aint it lol, one question thou is xubuntu better [04:47] Panarchy: hmmm there are file splitting utilities you might try that route? [04:47] MHz128: select Unlock, select the Wired connection interface you'll be plugging into, likely eth0, and then click properties [04:47] _cb: I already used ntfsresize to do the resizing so I don't know how to edit the partition table correctly. [04:47] Hi, I need your help and I'm not sure if you can help me or not. I've installed gOS (based on Ubuntu and Debian), it was working good, I updated it, there was like 250-300 updates and I updated and restarted. After the restart I logged in successfully, and had no internet so I attempted to go into the network manager and configure the settings. That was a major fail because it wouldn't... [04:47] eseven: on like 25MB off my target, i [04:47] ...accept my password. The password I have is the same for the root/admin and my account and it doesn't work for administration rights but it does work to log onto the desktop. Can anybody help? [04:47] , [04:47] ntfsresize doesn't deal with the partition table, just shrinking the file system itself. [04:47] MHz128: disable roaming mode, and input the IP and subnet's i'm specifie on both computers [04:47] sure I can save the space [04:48] MHz128: oh, and specify a 'Static IP Connection' [04:48] op me [04:48] ik; Ummm - treading on new ground here - haven't installed a tar.gz app yet...... [04:48] MHz128: once you're done inputting the info, just select the checkbox next to the interface: ensure that it is checked, making it active [04:49] MHz128: do this on both computers and networking should take place between both computers; make sure you assign *different* ip address like i've specified [04:49] nite_johnboy: Try instead the deb file for 32 or 64 bit from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [04:49] rdw200169, i dont see anything about static ips... [04:49] nite_johnboy: tar -zxvf file.tar.gz cd to the created directory and read the text files [04:49] Does anyone here know how to sort packages by size? [04:49] Is there a way to disable the annoying icon appearance on the xubuntu desktop? [04:50] I'm talking about how the text under the icons are all shaded [04:50] Panarchy: didn't that question already got answered about three times now? [04:50] How do I clear all bash history??? [04:50] MHz128: i'm using ubuntu 8.04, it may be different in 8.10, i don't know [04:50] MHz128: the interface should be really similar, though [04:51] impulse_: No, it has yet to be answered (in this session) [04:51] Panarchy: I told you TWICE ALREADY [04:51] rdw200169, netmask is 255.255.255.0 correct? [04:51] ahh i see.. how many sessions will there be? [04:51] Panarchy: you even acknowledged on the second time. [04:51] MHz128: sure [04:51] Panarchy: How many times are you going to ignore my response and re-ask the same question? [04:51] Panarchy: installed packages you mean? [04:52] Ltl : Yeah [04:52] Panarchy: once more [04:52] Panarchy: 23:31 < ik> Panarchy: google for 'list packages by installed-size' [04:52] Panarchy: go there, do that. [04:52] Panarchy: dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n [04:52] rdw200169, do u know the name of the ssh server package i need? [04:52] my computer no sound, how to do [04:52] MHz128: openssh-server i think [04:52] <_cb> pingveno what are you trying to do? I had a PC with 2 ntfs partitions. Ubuntu detected those left them alone and allowed me to partition the rest of the disk. In another I had Vista pre-installed and Ubuntu resized that partition and set up the rest of the disk. [04:53] MHz128: just search for it in synaptic [04:53] doki_pen: I tried to ping 4.2.2.1 and got nothing on the borked machine but another machine got a response. ^^ where shoud I go from here? [04:53] Thanks Ltl [04:53] Panarchy: it works on intrepid fyi. [04:53] But how do I make it show sizes as MB [04:53] i get error bash: jar: command not found [04:54] Panarchy: um, lemme study on that a sec [04:54] genii; Thanks so much - the Ubuntu support rocks! - I have it installed and a nice little icon in my Applications/Sound & Video - Very Cool - Appreciate it much! Thank You! [04:54] nite_johnboy: Enjoy :) [04:55] Ltl: Sure [04:55] <_cb> anybody using compiz on their production machines? Is it stable? [04:56] Does anyone know what the chmod should be for /var/log/apt [04:56] Shouldn't production boxes run headless? ;) [04:56] How do I turn off all the window animation effects in gnome? [04:56] quick question. I am trying to create my own custom panel type thing (i dont even know what exactly to call it) i want a button in the middle of the screen that i can click on and it pulls open a menu bar anyone have a clue where i should even start? [04:56] genii; From what I have read this app seems to work good with the iPod (yuk) all I have right now - Is there something else (Different app) you might recommend ? [04:56] predator3631: Look into the drawer applet [04:56] qr: System Preferences Appearance [04:57] predator3631: you seriously want a button right in the middle of your screen? That sounds quite annoying. [04:57] qr: go to system>preferences>apearence and turn the desktop effects off or down [04:57] nite_johnboy: I don't have an ipod, so would be recommending from reviews,which you could just look up yourself [04:57] qr: yea its an idea im working with [04:57] <_cb> genii inversely proportional to the user. [04:57] How do I update the dpkg cache? [04:57] Here's what it is currently: wine 57828 [04:58] But wine isn't installed [04:58] Panarchy, predator3631: thanks exactly what I wanted [04:58] You're very welcome [04:58] Panarchy: um, what? [04:58] Panarchy: what is that the output of? [04:58] panarchy: The drawer aplet? thats the think that sits on my taskbar iv got that its not really what im looking for [04:58] raylu: sudo dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n [04:59] Panarchy: and the permissions on /var/log/apt should be the same as the other log files in there. readable by all, writable by owner [04:59] predato3631: Are you a programmer? [04:59] my cursor is all fudged up or somehting. when ever i press the ctrl key what i get is rippling circles and it is interfering with programmes like dosbox and wine can anyone help me gte rid of it? [04:59] Panarchy: "aptitude show wine" [04:59] raylu: What chmod should that be? (it'd been deleted) [04:59] Panarchy: wait, is that a directory or a file? === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [05:00] I have a interesting issue. I'm running 8.10 and i've been having issues with wireless. If i boot the laptop and try to connect to wireless it just wont connect, mostly fails on obtaining ip, but if the os loads with a ethernet connection plugged it, wireless connects as soon as i remove the cable. any way i can fix it so wireless works without needing to boot while tethered? [05:00] (i'm not on ubuntu right now) [05:00] panarchy: iv had some experience took a couple of classes in college but would not call myself a programmer [05:00] http://www.mibbit.com/pb/IZq160 [05:00] genii; yup - totally with you on that - I have been reading and doing some googling - Looks like best way to go for a portable .mp3/podcast player would be one of the Cowon iAudio players - thanks for the input. Probably hold off on trying to this junky ipod working on here - don't want to mess up my nice stable system. [05:00] predator3631: Then don't worry about making a menu in the middle of the screen [05:00] hi [05:00] How do I set my laptop's touchpad to turn off when I plug in a mouse, but be on otherwise? [05:00] hi [05:00] Panarchy: the state of wine is not installed :P why are you worried about what dpkg says? [05:01] my laptop is booting into read only mode on the file system how do i stop it from doing that? I am using jfs as my filesystem [05:01] !hi | lwizardl [05:01] lwizardl: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:01] raylu: I need to save space [05:01] panarchy: its something i want to play with [05:01] how do i make the jar command work [05:01] Panarchy: huh? and again, is /var/log/apt a directory or a file [05:01] panarchy: but cant seem to figure out where to start [05:01] genii; thanks again anyway [05:01] predator3631: In that case, have a look at my topic on the ubuntuforums [05:01] panarchy: link? [05:01] nite_johnboy: Glad to be of assistance [05:01] what does the jar command do [05:02] Panarchy: i cant find a human-readable way to out that command. [05:02] predator3631: They told me how to edit it and which packages to edit [05:02] Went to 3 pages [05:02] T1: normally, one asks that before trying to use it [05:02] Ltl: Okay, well thanks anyway [05:02] T1 java archiver [05:02] T1: essentially writes metadata and zips. [05:02] How do I update the dpkg cache? [05:02] Panarchy: it won't save you space [05:02] panarchy: what should i search for? do you use panarchy as your username there or do you have a link to the thread? [05:03] raylu: How do I save space [05:03] Panarchy: sudo aptitude clean [05:03] predator3631: Panarchy is my username on the forum [05:03] <_cb> rashire work or home? if work, could it be that wired is authenticating you to a system? [05:03] Panarchy: and is /var/log/apt a dir or a file? [05:03] panarchy: k i'l just search for your name then [05:03] raylu: directory [05:03] Panarchy: have you removed old kernels not used anymore per chance? [05:03] predator3631: k [05:03] Ltl: I think I have [05:03] _cb: home, wireless is wpa2-psk, dchp server at 192.168.174.1 [05:03] I'll check synaptic [05:03] dhcp w/e [05:03] Panarchy: chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx [05:04] rdw200169, ok, i am connected now via utp.... (network manager) how do I transfer the files? [05:04] <_cb> rashire that kills that theory [05:04] _cb: issue with both network manager and wicd [05:04] How do I set my laptop's touchpad to be off when I have a mouse plugged in, but on otherwise? [05:04] question for anyone thats setup a ubuntu server. I'm wanting to make a internal test server for testing out php scripts so I don't have them running on my main server. but I was looking at some guides and got stuck. usually you would use like servername.domain.tld but since I don't have a real domain name on this server what would I use in place of that? [05:05] Panarchy: ls /boot/ any old kernels are marked .old iirc [05:05] lwizardl: where is it asking you for a domain? [05:05] raylu: hostname's [05:05] lwizardl: you can set the hostname to anything you want [05:05] !touchpad > onexused check out the link from ubottu and see if it helps. I am not sure if you can do what it is you are asking, least I don't know how to [05:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:06] Hi. I have limited experience with Linux. Is there a version of Ubuntu that will have drivers, Codecs, etc for a full-featured operating system? And is that available for free download, or do I need to pay for that? [05:06] lwizardl: er, sorry. set the hostname to the hostname of the machine [05:06] hmm [05:06] lwizardl: which can be anything you want. you can also set it as the ip of the mchine [05:06] lwizardl: but again, where is it asking you for this? [05:06] <_cb> rashire looks as if something is disrupting the broadcast on the wireless [05:06] onexused, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad here is the link [05:06] raylu: right but if i place for example "james" then later in the seetings it gets auto set to "james.gateway.2wire.net" [05:06] IdleOne: Thanks. [05:06] Hiya - is anybody here familiar with ultimate ubuntu? [05:06] I installed 8.10 32bit, is it possible to upgrade to 64 bit or do I need to reinstall? [05:07] 2/0 [05:07] lwizardl: james should still work from anywhere within the network [05:07] firefly2442: reinstall [05:07] firefly2442, fresh install [05:07] _cb: it's pretty consistant, i cant get wireless to connect till i plug in ethernet, think its a issue with my ip scheme? [05:07] darn.... thanks though ;) [05:07] Panarchy: important note, remove old kernel images with synaptic... [05:07] Shizzo: is that a joke? [05:07] Shizzo: ubuntu is a full-featured operating system [05:07] I am having problems installing Ultimate Ubuntu 2.0 on CD and also on Unetbootn [05:08] <_cb> Do you have more than one PC? If yes, any connecting via the wireless? [05:08] Ltl: Okay [05:08] raylu: ok because I try http://james/ and //james and but don't load the apache pages [05:08] maco: Not at all. I just want drivers, codecs, etc. When I was using mandriva, there was a pay version for drivers, codecs, etc [05:08] Shizzo, and the codecs you are looking for are easily installed [05:08] lwizardl: o.0 [05:08] <_cb> rashire Do you have more than one PC? If yes, any connecting via the wireless? [05:08] _cb i killed my laptop laptop, but for over a year i've had same settings and laptops on xp connected fine [05:08] lwizardl: they should... then again, 2wire fails all over itself all the time [05:08] !codecs | Shizzo [05:08] Shizzo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:08] _cb: killed my 'other' laptop [05:08] Shizzo: weird. no, everything ubuntu is free. you only pay if you want a 1-800-HLP-PLZ! number [05:09] maco: Good to know. I'll go download now. [05:09] Shizzo, no need to pay for them in ubuntu - unless you got some really weird hardware - You can install codecs and other stuff from medibuntu repositorues or other places. [05:09] Shizzo: the drivers for everything we can find drivers for are included usually. for nvidia or ati, you can enable them after install. [05:09] Shizzo: there's a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras that'll install codecs, java, flash, etc. [05:09] Last Question: Anything inherently wrong/flawed/etc with the x64 version? Less supported programs or anything? [05:10] Shizzo, then you can enable medibuntu and install the w32codec packages - to get mosta ll windows codecs supported. [05:10] Shizzo, first step is download and install or try ubuntu witht he live cd then come here and ask for some more help to get the codecs installed [05:10] Shizzo, depends on your hardware. I use 64bit here - with no problems with my systems [05:10] Shizzo: x86_64 does everything for me [05:10] x86_64? [05:10] 64bit is finally getting mature :) it seems [05:10] Thats confusing... [05:10] Intel 64bit :) whats so confusing [05:11] Okay.... I'll go and download it. [05:11] Shizzo: 64 bit i.e. the amd64 .iso even for intel boxes [05:11] Anything I should know about dual-booting with Vista, or just stick the disk in there and start installing? [05:11] Shizzo, how much ram ya got? if more then 4gb. then go for 64bit.. if not.. dont worry about it and stuck with 32bit.. unless you are going to be doing a lot of heavy math/encoding work [05:11] sorry to be off topic~ish, but aren't most intel desktop cpus not native 64bit proccessors? and such doesnt x64 os like ubuntu run poor on it? [05:11] I've got 4 Gb of RAM [05:12] or am i a year or to behind on intel knowledge === Eneloop06 is now known as Eneloop [05:12] rashire, Most now a days are 64bit. [05:12] rashire, I do belive that Intel Atom in the new netbooks are 32bit.. but i think most all 'new' ones are 64bit now a days. [05:12] rashire: 64 bit flies on my intel pentium-D 64 processor. [05:12] rashire, there may be others that are 32 bit. but i tend to do more AMD then intel. [05:13] i see. not looked since i bought my last cpu, and amd was still best you could buy [05:13] Anything I need to know about dual-booting with Vista? [05:13] _cb: Sorry about the AFK. Ubuntu didn't seem to have an option to auto-resize the NTFS partition (at least not the LiveCD version). [05:13] Shizzo, it works? :) you may want to rezise your vista partition with vista befor installing Ubuntu. that saves some time. [05:14] Guest38286 has OpenChrome drivers installed (Xubuntu I think), but doesn't know how to configure them. [05:14] Shizzo, you have 1 or 2 hard drives or any other special hardware? [05:14] _cb: i'll just post on forums later tonight, see if i cant reach more people for a answer [05:14] any one into that? [05:14] <_cb> rashire would not think it is your ip scheme because you get an IP via wired and are also communicating via IP after receiving the IP. Looks like something is blocking the DHCP broadcast [05:14] hey guys how deo i format usb drive in ubuntu [05:14] I've got a 100 Gb Vista partition, and 364 Gb partition that is formatted for Windows, but begging for Ubuntu. =) [05:14] I have broke ubuntu, and not a happy camper! lol.

[05:17] kk [05:18] svchost: without a sudo-able user or the root password you can't really do anything [05:18] MHz128: did you install ssh via apt-get? [05:18] sysdoc: pastebinit and not pastebininit [05:18] i just cant see anything [05:18] If I bust the 364 GB partition down, can I make a partition that can be mounted by Vista and Ubuntu?

[05:34] <_cb> Antwort if you are just installing install on low graphics mode and see what happens [05:35] Does the Wubi installer install INSIDE windows, or just allow you to install FROM INSIDE windows? [05:35] Shizzo: it installs into a disk image on the windows filesystem but runs on its own. i dont really recommend it though. [05:35] ewww you dont want that Shizzo [05:35] Shizzo: there have been cases where hal upgrades made wubi unbootable. [05:35] i've tried different res. [05:35] maco: eseven73 Thanks. Point noted.

[05:37] Shizzo: you can install KDE over gnome easily and vice versa [05:37] Shizzo-> but you can always install kde with apt-get [05:37] and then I updated via Hardware Drivers [05:37] bgamari: yeah, thatd be nice. if you dont have a blog to put it on you can use mine ;) [05:37] and then it started [05:37] Shizzo: Don't install just kde from apt-get. install kubuntu-desktop [05:37] Good to know.

[05:43] hwilde, you mean 'two' different instanances of firefox? [05:43] sry typo two [05:43] n2diy-> there's got to be a better way.. one ought to package a multi-media stuff and let the user load it at once rather than hunting for debs [05:43] hi, can someone tell me why i've got a big 6720x1050 screen with ati drivers? i've got only two 1680x1050 monitors [05:44] OT it took like five minutes to get on Dalnet [05:44] the default videodrivers that Ubuntu used after install worked fine [05:44] willis__, I can't open two mplayers for that matter either. but terminal shells and games and almost everything else [05:44] is that something new [05:44] anyone can help me why i can't resize ntfs vista drive? [05:44] http://pastebin.com/m812360e [05:44] but lacked 3D acc. [05:44] brusteve, go pack to setserial, and select another comm, port. But I don't think setserial will play with a pts port? [05:44] willis__-> as new install, the user wanted to play games and music and pr0ns..i suggested a regular ubuntu..big mistake [05:45] Antwort: you know about linux 3d right? [05:45] is putty avaible in linus? [05:45] *linux [05:45] gizmo: Use ssh [05:45] gizmo, yep [05:45] i installed the drivers that Hardware Drivers listed for my Card [05:45] hwilde: no virus in putty?

[05:45] brusteve, what is a pts port? [05:45] gizmo: ssh is the thing putty is trying to me [05:45] less than zero ok [05:45] be [05:46] but linux is good for other things though [05:46] Less than zero?? [05:46] n2diy: well I wanted to know what TTW was being used by a shell so i typed in the command "tty" [05:46] itai-michaelson-> no need to extract iso's mount it in the tftp server for sharing with the remote client [05:46] I have my pc dual booted [05:46] kewl [05:46] windows for games [05:46] n2diy: that outputed /dev/pts/1 [05:46] and ubuntu for everything else [05:47] hwilde, firefox does a 'single instance thing' you would need to run i tas a differenr user. [05:47] Antwort: how long have you been linuxing? [05:47] you know the commands yet [05:47] willis__, lame [05:47] n2diy: I wat to switch from one open shell terminal to another open shell terminal [05:47] brusteve, ttw? are you playing on a test box or mission critical box? [05:47] willis__, but helpful info, I can run it as a diff user [05:47] off and now for few years [05:47] n2diy: test [05:47] brusteve: You might want "screen" [05:47] brusteve, ok, cool. [05:48] hwilde, firefox has been that way for years for security and stability - [05:48] used to run a half-life dedicated server off Mandrake 9 [05:48] n8tuser2, thanks, if i understand correctly i need to copy certain files from the installer to the tftp directory, correct? ( initrd.gz , network installer) [05:48] BRB [05:48] Antwort: a good book for me was 'linux power tools' [05:48] Whomever hilighted me, can you please repeat? [05:48] genii: screen lets you save the state of your terminal when logging off, how does that help me look at the content of every single shell [05:48] but that might be dated [05:48] itai-michaelson-> correct [05:48] willis__, well ok but if I use one big screen I can start two and drag one to left and right monitor, but if I have twinview (two x displays) then I can only have certain applications in one [05:48] n8tuser2, thanks [05:49] can I just reset to the default drivers? [05:49] i wouldn't even try 3d [05:49] hwilde, with twinview here i can drag to either monitor. Im not sure how you are starting 2 [05:49] no need really [05:49] brusteve: start the shell you want to watch inside screen, then from another terminal do screen -x [05:49] n2diy: so how can I switch between each terminal on a machine to see what is going on inside it? [05:49] itai-michaelson-> you're welcome [05:49] When Ubuntu is booting, what should I press on the keyboard to get a maximum amount of displayed information instead of the splash screen? Ubuntu quite frequently hangs on bootup. Just wondering why. [05:49] qr: not quite what I'm trying to do [05:49] then how do I fix the video issue? [05:49] Antwort: have you ever hooked your x1900 to a tv [05:49] willis__, my mouse goes between but no program windows [05:50] it doesnt have the plugin for it [05:50] Antwort: well i wouldn't give up, just learn a little bit here and there [05:50] qr: I want to cycle though all of them [05:50] prob figure it out in a month or so [05:50] hwilde, sounds like you may have twinbview enabled wrong, or somthing else odd. ior using 2 seprate X servers. [05:50] willis__, yeah separate x servers [05:50] willis__, but I don't see why I can't open two instances of firefox [05:50] Antwort: ever try vmware? [05:50] willis__, maybe dragging between xservers is a stretch but I should be able to spawn one in each monitor [05:50] willis__, I can do it with terminal shells and games and stuff [05:51] brusteve: oh, well then... I'm not sure you can do that. You could try poking at the /dev/ttyXXX devices, although I'm not sure how you would do that. === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [05:51] hwilde, firefox checks.. if its allready running it dosent allow a 2nd one.. and yes You can force stuff to start on the 2nd X display. with the right DISPLAY variable. [05:51] I just installed ubuntu on a box of mine and need to access a samba share. But when I go to Connect to Server/Windows share, put in the IP... it says "cannot display location smb://" no application is registered as handling this file [05:51] nope [05:52] I installed samba, still no dice [05:52] i wanna fix this because it randomly pops up and covers text [05:52] n2diy, u still around? [05:52] even when im typing it [05:52] brusteve, cltr+alt+F1, F2, F3 etc.... [05:52] i dont know how to log-in my shell if not using putty [05:52] If I install Ubuntu-Server on my laptop, then transfer the b43-fwcutter.deb file to it via usb and run it, will it set up my wireless, or do I need more/different packages? [05:52] anyone see this mess?? chown: invalid group: `root:tty' [05:52] chgrp: invalid group: `adm' [05:52] chown: invalid group: `polkituser:polkituser' [05:52] qr: yeah, me neither, I want to use a method or a tool that kind of taps into the TTY and allows listening for what is being typed in there AND/OR allows me to type something in it while it is already open on another computer > final result being when someone types, I see it and when I type they see it [05:52] willis__, that's the odd thing I only see X :0 [05:52] i dont know how to log-in my shell if not using putty [05:53] n2diy: wow, you totally misunderstand what i'm trying to do [05:53] hi all, i've got a file in my trash bin that I can't delete. I tried emptying the trash and deleting it permanently via right click to no avail. I tried gksudo nautilus and it won't give me access to the trash bin. any suggestions? [05:53] splater gators [05:53] hwilde, i never use the seprate X display settings. I just tell twinview sot use one WIDE display and i drag windows back/forth all the time.. You DO have to restart the X server the first time you enable twinview i recall [05:53] brusteve, not unsual. :) [05:53] the green and black breaks in display are annoying the hell out of me [05:53] brusteve: I don't know of any tool that does that. Comedy option: set all your users shells to screen and then you can watch them that way :) [05:54] im on ubuntu right now [05:54] n2diy: thanks for the effort though [05:54] willis__, I have two application menus at the top and two clocks and two logoffs, but in the process list I only have display :0 I can't force firefox to DISPLAY=localhost:1 [05:54] brusteve, gl [05:54] qr: not an option [05:54] Hey guys I have found the same problem that I'm having in the forums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5574235 has anyone seen this problem before [05:54] n2diy: thx [05:54] brusteve: hence why it's the comedy option. [05:54] hwilde, no idea on that then. i never use twinview that way. [05:55] hwilde, i have one panel/clock/logoiff and its ont he left side.. [05:55] willis__, ok right so you would think I have two x servers, but i only see one. Error: cannot open display: localhost:1 [05:56] hwilde, twinview may be some how bypassing that method [05:57] Whos got thuh goods tonight? [05:57] willis__, no I think it is application dependent since shell and text editor and kasteroids work on both, but firefox is user session [05:57] hwilde, no idea then. when in doubt check the twinview docs I guess. [05:57] well, I decided to use SSH instead to transfer the file [05:57] willis__, firefox issue not twinview [05:57] quick, someone recommend a CD burner for ubuntu [05:57] !k3b [05:57] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME).

I installed Ubuntu Eee on my daughters 900A from a USB stick. BUT...now, when GRUB loads, it says no files found. I have to boot from the USB install drive, then it boots into the installation on tthe hard drive. Is there a way to fix it without re-installing? [06:25] I noticed that the newly created processes in Ubuntu tend to have a PID that is show "in the middle" when using ps ax [06:26] CaneToad: It's been reported to Launchpad, but you could try to Adobe [06:26] while all my previous linux experience just placed latest processes at the bottom of ps ax giving the highest PID [06:26] wow i make my background transparent.. [06:26] lol [06:26] how can I disable this strange ubuntu behaviour? [06:26] gizmo, so you can see the inside of your monitor? [06:26] yeah abit.. [06:26] its ok..but i enjoy it..

[06:28] TimReichhart, please elaborate, i do not fully understand. [06:28] ice_cream, yes, if you start firefox, and do ps ax, it will show in line 50 when the output of ps ax is 100 lines [06:28] there is a huge number of "daemon" processes with high PID [06:29] ok, i cant get grub to work right. the computer is butting straight in windows [06:29] alesan, you mean you want the high PID's to be given out to new processes? [06:29] are you saying you want firefox to start with a certain high PID? [06:29] i have a big problem to TUNE a FRQ in my DVB card: FE_SET_TONE failed: Connection timed out, and i must to use modprobe -r b2c2-flexcop command to fix it anytime!!!!! [06:29] hischild, well, yes, or to give "normal" PIDs to those daemon processes. [06:29] how to test my webcam is working or not? === eli_ is now known as dotblank [06:30] hischild, in short, I'd like PIDs to be assigned in a sequence [06:30] so when I do a ps ax I will see the newly created processes at the bottom of the list [06:30] ola back again [06:30] !info cheese | gizmo [06:30] cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam.

[06:31] alesan, the PID's given to the daemon's are also normal. You can't expect the kernel to give out PID's from low to high, it'd run out of numbers incredibly soon. Every script, every program that's opened no matter how long, will use at least 1 and probably more PID's. [06:31] MadCowBoy, wrong nick?

[06:35] hischild, what are you saying :) that would be true only if no process terminates [06:36] is there a GRUB channel? I really need to try to get this fixed before tomorrow [06:36] Dr_willis_: He said on another ubuntu box [06:36] Ltl needs "recovering ubuntu after installing Ubuntu" [06:36] jooooker1: just edit in the module name in the respective file [06:36] and the behaviour I am describing has been the default of every distribution I've used before I had to convert to ubuntu [06:36] alesan, ofcourse not.

Although, if you use avant windows navigator you will regain the ability to use your desktop icons. Make sense? [06:47] well Dr_willis_ i added the folder to bin [06:47] now, how to path [06:47] phreck, the binaries are linked to files in /bin/ NOT the directory... [06:47] Is there anything equivalent to NetworkManager Applet? [06:47] gizmo: try vlc it might see your cam, also dmesg |less to see if its even detected. [06:47] phreck, ie /home/username/bin/whatevercommand -- Link to --> /usr/local/whatever/command [06:47] Um guys, I'm trying to make a copy of my home directory, but even when I'm in sudo (or sudo su) I am unable to copy the files. I get a Permission denied error [06:48] Shpook, /boot/grub/menu.lst instead, sorry, [06:48] IpodLinux: what's your problem? [06:48] Ltl: what the command to get vlc?

Heh [06:48] whats the commands to link [06:48] ln [06:48] i know its PaTH [06:48] gizmo, go for it. [06:48] gizmo: sudo apt-get install vlc [06:48] phreck, ln -s, or use the gnome file manager features [06:48] Ltl, dmesg | grep -i cam | tail makes more sense don't you think? [06:48] jooooker1: It stopped connecting to WPA networks [06:48] roger [06:48] phreck, or make a script in bin that calls the proper command.. [06:49] cats are microwave friendly [06:49] Okay, who was it that said KDE doesn't have something like gnome-do? [06:49] I have been having some trouble connecting to freenode [06:49] hischild: that should work also.

[06:49] i can connect from my desktop here [06:49] but I can't connect from my server [06:49] I don't understand [06:49] Ltl, dmesg | less gives him loads of info.

[07:03] anyone know how to install itunes on ubuntu?? [07:03] MadCowBoy: Yeah, but it didn't consist of much. Download the iso, use a program to load it onto the usb stick and make it bootable, then boot from usb stick and install. [07:03] stoned, a lot of that will depend on your video card.. some of the newer ati/nvidia cards have 'issues' it seems with 8.10 - an earelier ubunjtu may work.. or try some other disrtos.. the live cds are a good test also [07:03] jbmigel, X1900 XTX r580 Chipset, I've tried login to single user mode, I've tried radeon, radeonhd, flgrx, VESA.. nothing work [07:03] MadCowBoy: straight from the ubuntu eee wiki :D [07:04] i alredy open the media capture.. [07:04] i have a hd4870 512 with ati/amd 8.12 drivers works fine [07:04] all driver I listed work in debian [07:04] capture media device [07:04] but not in ubuntu [07:04] I trie 8.04 and 8.10 [07:04] it works in windows and debian and DSL and knoppix [07:04] aslong as you have the nessasery file installex [07:04] stoned hmmm thats interesting... like dr_willis_ said its probably cuz you're all bleeding edge with the 8.10... what were you using yesterday? [07:04] gizmo: type in /dev/video0 [07:05] already [07:05] i open it [07:05] any idea ? [07:05] ahh, its different, new to me but it sounds like that grub is looking for the linux kernal to boot on the usb, try to edit you menu.lst to add another option in grub and play with where that one points to, eg 0,1 1,1 etc... [07:05] gizmo: nothing? [07:05] nothing [07:05] would grub not work if if im running the wrong version of linux like 64bit on a 32bit processer? [07:05] my webcam not working.. [07:05] jbmigel, debian unstable/experimental + source compiled KDE 4 [07:05] jbmigel, I then today install a ubuntu before I sleep [07:05] theflea, a 64bit install - wouldent isntall on a 32bit processor [07:06] jbmigel, 32bits [07:06] gizmo: open a terminal type lsusb assuming its a usb cam, do you see it listed [07:06] theflea, you couldnt install a 64 on a 32 bit system. [07:06] ok thats what i thought lol [07:06] and ubuntu didn't work [07:06] thanks [07:06] sorry pcmagas im tapped [07:06] madcowboy so i tried that link and it didnt work [07:06] MadCowBoy: ok, thanks for the help, I'll go give it a shot. [07:06] looking on the forums and google now [07:06] ok [07:06] windows got mad but thats about it [07:06] no Ltl [07:06] me too [07:06] all have to do with usb so far [07:06] but nothing [07:07] thebflea, so you reinstalled grub? [07:07] stoned why would you blank such a sweet setup for vanilla ubuntu? [07:07] hmm maybe [07:07] yes [07:07] How do you disable AHCI on 8.10? [07:07] but windows still booted [07:07] because my external hd doesnt work in xp [07:07] hold let me look around a min [07:07] can anyone point me to answers about ndiswrapper on intrepid x64 with the quite troubled rtl8187b driver? [07:07] and then i tried supergrub and it did not work [07:07] and your system boots straight into windows without giving you any options? [07:07] tyt [07:07] do Skype sounds conflict with others when it's on? [07:07] no no options [07:07] gizmo: google your camera model plus ubuntu, it may not be supported but could work with some work. [07:08] no nothing [07:08] Stoned: did you try using the built in ubuntu proprietry drivers under system>administration>hardware drivers [07:08] 1.3 mega [07:08] it will install all the files that are needed "Recomended" rathe that downloading and installing from a website do that as an upgrade later on [07:08] i dont know how to Ltl [07:08] im trying the supergrub disk now [07:08] how do I upgrade to 8.10? [07:08] theflea, supergrub works if you use the commands exactly, the live disk version works too... I don;t know what to say right now.... [07:09] I wish I could use the 64bit version, it would never install at all, I thought it was my sata drives, then I was thinking my 8200 nvidia onboard vid card, either case im running 32bit [07:09] !upgrade | omshanti [07:09] omshanti: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:09] gizmo: was your camera listed in dmesg output? if not its not going to work 'out of the box' [07:09] narcarsiss hows he going to go to system>>admin if his screen blanks at boot [07:09] ! dork [07:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about dork [07:09] modcowboy thank you for all your help anyway [07:09] lol [07:09] narcarsiss, yes [07:09] theflea, good luck bud, follow the instructions carefully for supergrub.... it works.... [07:09] Ltl: what the command to check dmesg output? [07:10] madcowboy, at least its not just me losing my mind on this [07:10] first time anything like this has happend [07:11] can he run aticonfig --initial -f [07:11] stoned well then perhaps it really is your monitor... whatcha got there? [07:11] Ltl: usb disconnect [07:11] that should default the xorg file to default [07:11] gizmo: open a terminal, or konsole, type dmesg |less ..spacebar to scroll down, page up to page up. see if its in there. [07:11] is there any real benefit to upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10? [07:12] Ltl: its sayy usb disconnect [07:12] HG216D 22" HANNS-G HDMI->DVI plug. D-SUB never works on this monitor [07:12] new kernel supposedly better support for wifi and webcams and such [07:12] jbmigel, this monitor only take a D-SUB and DVI [07:12] omshanti: yes the wireless networking manager :D:D [07:12] if this is better support for wi-fi... i'm rolling back [07:12] how do you pair intrepid with a bluetooth headset [07:12] hmm :I [07:13] stoned you dont have anything weird in your xorg.conf for the monitor usually? [07:13] gizmo: do you know how to use pastebin [07:13] omshanti omg all your friends will be jealous! [07:13] no, just follow it carefully, and remember, your first hadrdrive is 0 === d is now known as Guest62433 [07:14] jbmigel but he said he was trying all diff drivers and settings... if he buggerd up it might fix it just an idea thats all [07:14] morning [07:14] hello [07:14] stoned totally listen to narcarsiss, maybe you just broke it with all your testing... reset it and maybe try vesa again i guess [07:14] anyone has Nelda Nockbladder's Anatomy Lesson? [07:14] Ltl: nope.. [07:15] im new [07:15] jbmigel, default xorg, autoconfigured, added a modeline generated from cvt for 16:10, as well as a modes line for resolution [07:15] can anyone point me to a tute to pair intrepid with a bluetooth heaset [07:15] gizmo: you have a terminal open? [07:15] How can I search for a file using the command line? I tried find / dhcp* but it turned up no results (though I know for a fact there are files somewhere that start with dhcp such as dhcpd.conf) [07:15] Ltl: yes [07:16] stoned you totally sound like you know what you're doing... just fix it man [07:16] l337h4l, sudo updatedb | locate partofthename [07:16] Ltl: so? [07:16] heh. [07:16] l337ingDisorder, look above [07:16] sorry l337h4l [07:17] gizmo: type: dmesg > dmesg then type gedit dmesg that opens the file hilight all and copy, then paste it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [07:17] Now I know why ubuntu sucks, and why ubuntu users come to #debian for support. :) I'm going back to Debian unstable/experimental/source -- At least unlike ubuntu it works :) [07:17] Good day fellas. [07:17] jim_p: thanks, that's perfect [07:17] stoned: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:17] gizmo: then give us the url [07:18] I'm having installation upgrade problems with 8.10 and ultimate ubuntu as well [07:18] on CD [07:18] RochJer, name a few [07:18] Well, it worked, just had to change it to boot from hd0, 0, thanks again :D [07:18] ungreatfull i have been using ati drivers since 6.10 and have had no problems besides the norn misconfiguring [07:18] debian for support? Hmm... I think 'stoned' was a good nick for him. [07:18] l337h4l: if you want to know how find works you can always run "man find", your syntax isn't quite right [07:18] When I went to install ubuntu it won't let me go through after ubuntu loading screen [07:19] Ltl, do it the easy way with pastebinit :-) sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg > dmesg && cat dmesg | pastebinit && rm dmesg [07:19] hehe tottally agreed [07:19] CD error message kept appearing after the ubuntu load screen [07:19] hischild: doesn't just "dmesg | pastebinit" work ? [07:19] hischild: the guy is new, dont want to overwhelm him. [07:19] RochJer, did you perform a cd check? [07:20] I did the MD5sum [07:20] Ltl: check my private msg.. i put the url there.. [07:20] it matches exactly [07:20] hi [07:20] RochJer: did you check the cd too? [07:20] can i use ubuntu desktop edition instead of a server? [07:20] and I did the ISO burn several times [07:20] Yes I did the CD check as well [07:20] I'm back with another question: if I use fstab to mount a share on another computer, do I have to create the local directory itis going to be mounted into? [07:20] Ltl, but you do want to let him pastebin that himself? That command will pastebin it all for him, all he has to do is copy the link it returns. [07:20] which is the best software for CD check anyway? [07:20] shams: yes but why would you want to for a server?? [07:20] Slart, not sure actually. I prefer to use tmp files for those things usually. [07:21] RochJer, did you try redownloading a new image to see if that is the problem [07:21] !network [07:21] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:21] every time i try to install ubuntu from the live cd, it keeps dropping me to BusyBox and the installation won't proceed. the only information i could find was to edit/boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay=90 to the kernal stanza but i have no idea how to do this before being dropped into busybox. could anyone help? [07:21] shams: the desktop edition has the same software as the server version.. the only difference is the kernel, and some settings afaik [07:21] Has anyone used a patch cable to connect 2 ubuntu machines? let me know! [07:21] Okay folks, can anyone tell me how to search for a string and return the files containing the search string? [07:21] Slart: not to mention GNOME and an X Window System [07:21] hischild: ok, just checking [07:21] derklempner: yes the directory must exist [07:21] Is Torrent better than doing downloading? [07:21] jtaji: Thanks! [07:21] for ultimate ubuntu? [07:22] shams: oops.. forgot that one.. server only gives you a command line interface.. (thanks WIGGMPk =) [07:22] WIGGMPk: i want use it for local network server. print server, file server, web server and other [07:22] l337ingDisorder yes man all you need is grep! [07:22] Slart, just checked, that also works. [07:22] RochJer: torrent is better if there are lots of seeds [07:22] RochJer, we dont support that here [07:22] jbmigel: I thought it might be that simple === d is now known as Guest35153 [07:22] madcowboy, you still there? [07:22] gizmo: ubuntu is totally not recognizing your camera. [07:22] I am talking about legal torrent :) [07:22] does anyone have a solution to my problem? [07:22] l337ingDisorder you were correct sir [07:22] RochJer, ultimate ubuntu is not recommended.. and I personally dont recommend it [07:22] RochJer, depends what your downloading, Ubuntu distros come pretty fast over http and the torrents are fast too... [07:22] RochJer, I know [07:22] shams, then install the server edition and the other components you want +ssh [07:22] RochJer: he's saying ultimate ubuntu isnt supported [07:22] what is ultimate ubuntu? [07:23] ncurses/console audio/mp3 player? What do we recommend? [07:23] RochJer: ultimate ubuntu isn't supported here, even though it's legal.. they have their own support system [07:23] a load of trash omshanti [07:23] theflea, how did it go. [07:23] :? [07:23] Alright [07:23] Yo! [07:23] omshanti, i failed attempt (one of the dozens) of an ubuntu remake [07:23] jim_p: can i install desktop edition and install addons for it [07:23] ? [07:23] omshanti: it's a custom version of ubuntu.. [07:23] is there anywhere else i can get help for my problem? no one seems to know of a solution. [07:23] was wondering how I can transfer one folder from a user account, not a folder on another user account? [07:24] Zooback: what was your problem? [07:24] omshanti, in order to provide that extra bit that ubuntu cant, mainly for copyright reasons [07:24] shams: it all depends on your preference, using either the Desktop Edition or the Server Edition can achieve those goals.. the Desktop Edition (in terms of a server platform) is considered "bloated", as opposed to the Server Edition which has no GUI, and uses less resources.. [07:24] Slart: every time i try to install ubuntu from the live cd, it keeps dropping me to BusyBox and the installation won't proceed. the only information i could find was to edit/boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay=90 to the kernal stanza but i have no idea how to do this before being dropped into busybox. could anyone help? [07:24] madcowboy, well linux didnt install right, from what i can tell the stage2 is all messed up [07:24] jbmigel: do you know the syntax off the top of your head? [07:24] Zooback: no error messages? [07:24] I think I am having same problem with Zooback [07:24] err [07:24] shams, and turn it to web server etc? yes but its a waste of space === hello_br is now known as brEz [07:24] Slart: it does give me an error message [07:24] well at least you know, if its a fresh install, you won;t lose anything by trying again. [07:24] shams, for gnome alone you will need 500+ MB [07:24] ;x [07:24] it's a BusyBox error message and it drops me to the initramfs command prompt [07:25] Hi, I've gotta basic question. I'm trying to get a WinTV tuner card working under mythbuntu, and I did a make install for the driver's provided on the mfgr [07:25] i can try booting it up again if you want the exact error message [07:25] site [07:25] l337ingDisorder: grep findme /search/these/files/* [07:25] shams: if your new to Linux you might find it easier to set it up with the Desktop Edition === slashme is now known as slashme1 [07:25] Zooback: it might help [07:25] question is, how can i be sure the drivers complied correctly and installed? [07:25] theflea, I always give myself at least a 5 GB partition and do a guided install [07:25] l337ingDisorder: putting -H right after grep there will give the filenames too [07:25] jbmigel: thanks, ended up just manpaging it === iam is now known as imyutz [07:25] stantheman: no news is good news when it comes to make install [07:25] Okay - thanks for your suggestion - I will not use ultimate ubuntu [07:25] stantheman, do you get ouput from the tvcard? [07:25] fghfgjh [07:26] jbmigel: -r is also helpful [07:26] Hi, how do I copy files from one user account, to another user account on ubuntu? [07:26] Where can I find the version of Xubuntu I am running? [07:26] *output [07:26] stantheman: if there are errors in the install, it will output them [07:26] Nrbelex, lsb_release -a [07:26] brEz, in a console, type sudo nautilus, it will give you a file manager with root permissions, do your folder copy, [07:26] brEz: user1 has the home folder at /home/user1, user2 has the home folder at /home/user2, just do cp /home/user1/awesomefile /home/user2/ [07:26] musikgoat|main: I figured no news was good news, but the tuner card still isn't working apparently...I try to click "Watch TV" from the mythbuntu front-end, and the window just jumps around [07:27] oh [07:27] but [07:27] MadCowBoy, better to use gksu [07:27] MadCowBoy: brEz: its better to use gksudo nautilus [07:27] not sure where to go to see if there are errors, like, which log or anything? [07:27] brEz, you may have permission problems, afterwards look into chown and chmod [07:27] bye bye guys [07:27] the file I want to copy is in the home folder I have to ctrl +h to get to it. [07:27] brEz: I'm not sure about the default permissions for the home folders.. you might have to put a sudo on that [07:27] jim_p, thanks [07:27] !gksudo | MadCowBoy [07:27] MadCowBoy: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:27] Slart: BusyBox v.1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash) Eneter 'help' for a list of built in commands. (initramfs) [07:27] the file I want to copy is .irssi [07:28] ;x [07:28] brEz: well.. just write out the whole path to the file.. it doesn't matter if it's hidden [07:28] cool, thanks guys, just never knew that, [07:28] brEz: cp /home/user1/.irssi /home/user2/ [07:28] or add sudo ^^ [07:28] brEz: if user2 already has a .irssi file it might be overwritten.. take care [07:28] if needed [07:28] pwned i just got quake 4 working [07:28] jbmigel: Hmm okay so I'm trying to find a MAC address in a text file somewhere on this filesystem. I've used grep "" /* -r but it's giving me bad output as is listed here: http://rafb.net/p/GiySnq80.html [07:29] I used to use xmms, and now I have xmms2. Is there a simple way to make gxmms2 just play random tracks from my entire media library untill I kill it? [07:29] l337ingDisorder: grep -r "mac" /* [07:29] i am the walrus [07:29] Zooback: hmm.. that's not really an error message... it's a regular ubuntu install? no weird hardware? laptop? [07:29] i see [07:29] thanks :) [07:29] slashme1: what gui are you using with xmms2? [07:29] ;) [07:29] ohletmeinnowgodd: very nice... go tell the people in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:29] i ahve two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) [07:30] jbmigel: hmm same result [07:30] Slart: it's a live cd direct from the company itself, and i've installed ubuntu on this machine before with no problems. it's a desktop sony vaio. [07:30] hope it worked [07:30] gxmms2 [07:30] h,, [07:30] cheers [07:30] l337ingDisorder: you'll get that error when trying to read certain /dev directories [07:30] narcarsiss: gxmms2 [07:30] Zooback: you could try doing the nolapic, noapic stuff.. that's a common fix [07:30] musikgoat|main: ahh okay so I can probably ignore them then [07:30] thaks [07:30] Slart: I need help mounting my SD card into my laptops SD reader [07:30] l337ingDisorder: yes [07:30] thanks too [07:31] hischild, ubottu thanks good to know, [07:31] alright Slart i'll give it a try, thanks [07:31] I have a problem that started with one of my hard drives and is now affecting another.. whenever i do something that takes more than about 8 MB/s of throughput, the entire computer begins to freeze up.. the faster the data is being read of written, the worse it is [07:31] MadCowBoy, np [07:31] ohletmeinnowgodd: just ask the channel [07:31] been sudoing stuff for years, crazy stuff [07:31] MadCowBoy, it' [07:31] l337ingDisorder: grep has a nice function -I which ignores binary files. [07:31] or written* .. does anyone know what might be wrong and how to fix it? [07:32] MadCowBoy, it's only with GUI stuff, all CLI stuff should be done with sudo. [07:32] understood, thanks for the link. [07:32] l337ingDisorder: this is very useful when you're grepping through a large section of your tree [07:32] i ahve two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) wat can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:32] Greetings. [07:32] hey guys, i have an issue with my SD card, when I hook my camera up to my laptops usb port it shows up, but when I plug the card directly into the built in reader it doesnt do anything [07:32] cyphase: is this something new? I mean, did it do this with earlier versions of ubuntu? [07:33] Whats the best way to have some sort of IE6/7 running on linux ? [07:33] Unknown0BC: dont [07:33] ( for testing - webdev ) [07:33] vm [07:33] Unknown0BC: I would say a vm (virtual machine) [07:33] ohletmeinnowgodd, not all SD card readers are supported, do you know the exact model your using? [07:33] Slart: no. i have a very strong feeling that restarting the computer will fix it :P. i just want to try and fix it without restarting [07:33] l337ingDisorder: another useful one is -D skip [07:33] cyphase id suggest not doing to much when you're copying gigabytes of data around for no reason [07:33] l337ingDisorder: this makes it skip non-normal files. [07:33] MadCowBoy: how do i check? [07:33] jbmigel: yea, well.. [07:34] cyphase: sometimes a good ol' reboot is the only way.. or at least the easiest way =) [07:34] Argh. I cannot get a share auto-mounted using fstab. I have been reading about it for an hour now, and it's just not working. [07:34] do you have the specifications of your laptop at build time. === Guest35153 is now known as d__ [07:34] Unknown0BC, thers some ies4linux script that helps in setting up IE under linxu with wine.. check google. [07:34] derklempner, theres not spaces in the share name is there? [07:34] /msg NickServ identify [07:34] Slart: the computers been on for over 39 days.. i want to keep it going if i can :P [07:34] i ahve two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) wat can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:34] !ieslinux | Unknown0BC [07:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about ieslinux [07:34] !ies4linux | Unknown0BC [07:34] Unknown0BC: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! [07:34] ohletmeinnowgodd, what kind of laptop? make model. [07:35] thanks hischild [07:35] willis__: No, there aren't. [07:35] l337ingDisorder: grep -D skip "." /dev/ for example does nothing. [07:35] didn't work ;x [07:35] MadCowBoy: dell, vostro 1400 [07:35] In what fields or areas are RealMedia files used predominantly? As a multimedia neophyte I have not yet met them. [07:35] derklempner, and whats the fstab line entry look like? what messages appear when you try to mount it? [07:35] cyphase: ah.. well.. a big uptime certainly impresses the women.. you could try restarting the hal.. but I doubt it will fix it [07:36] brEz, try the forums at eepc ubuntu.....sorry bud. [07:36] i ahve two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) wat can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:36] all good, thanks :D [07:36] derklempner, the 'samba-doc' package has some docs on samba that also give troubleshooting information that may be handy [07:36] brEz: there is also #eeepc [07:36] oops, disregard that, I suck!!!! [07:36] ohletmeinnowgodd, two secs. [07:36] eeepc? [07:36] for hat ;p [07:36] what* [07:36] willis__: //server/av-stuff /av-stuff smbfs credentials=/etc/.smbcred 0 0 [07:36] Hi. [07:36] bullgard4: for some reason the swedish national radio company used them for many years for making radio shows available on the net [07:36] bullgard4: try realplayer 11 [07:36] Is this RAM good for gaming and overclocking? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=260335256599 [07:36] Slart: yea, probably not. i've unmounted it and tried to run the fsck utility, but it has the same problem.. the computer still freezes up [07:37] MadCowBoy said to check eee ubuntu, i thought that meant you had an eee [07:37] fahdh2, not in here please. [07:37] i ahve two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) wat can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:37] MadCowBoy: ok cool thnx [07:37] How do you mount a ipod to a vitrual mechine [07:37] i have two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) what can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:37] derklempner, the 'server' is pingable by the server name from the command line? on some of my simple lans. I ahve to use the ip# - not the server name.. or edit the /etc/hosts file to match up server name and ip# properly [07:37] Slart: ah well.. i have a few things i want to do anyway that require a shutdown, including some updates, e.g. kernel [07:37] d__ take a pill if someone knows they will tell you [07:37] willis__: Should be, I have the name in the hosts file. Let me try... [07:38] Slart: Ok. That is an area which is not on my focus. [07:38] Ltl: Why should I? [07:38] derklempner, i fought for ages once.. and discoverdd a typo in my hosts file. :( [07:38] brEz, your installed off the USB stick right? I thought you had an eeePC.... [07:38] sorry, [07:38] willis__: Yes, it is fine using the host name. I can ping the computer. [07:38] I was having the problem with copy'n a file :P [07:39] derklempner, try connecting via the command line tools perhaps? Been ages since ive done that.. [07:39] How do you mount a ipod to a vitrual mechine [07:39] bullgard4: i mis-interpreted your question, sorry. [07:39] Hi - who is using a creative labs audigy se 7.1 card with intrepid?? [07:39] ohletmeinnowgodd, dell has a feature where you have a service tag on your computer, you enter that in at the dell site, and they will tell what shipped in your computer. try that to get the type of card reader you have... [07:39] (- cos I am not sure if it is a good idea to buy one...) [07:39] randal, you need usb support enabled, xp/vista as guest os and itunes installed in there [07:40] i have two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the first it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) what can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:40] MadCowBoy: and then where's the list of Ubuntu supported SD readers? [07:40] Is there an easier way of having different background pictures as each work space, than going through compiz and disabling desktop in natilus and installing eye candy? [07:40] frybye, creative soundcards are a bad idea for linux [07:40] randal: just like you would do it normally on whatever os is in the vm.. you might want to check that usb is supported and configured [07:40] jim_p: what would you suggest in a similar price range??? [07:40] jim_p: so how do i mount it so my vm can see it i dont understand [07:40] ohletmeinnowgodd, I have a 1420 and my card reader works great for SD cards, but would not mount MS Duo pro not open sourced drivers. [07:41] willis__: Do I need to change the //server/av-stuff in fstab to read smb://server/av-stuff instead? [07:41] d__ do you think there is a setting in your v3x to turn on broadband sharing? [07:41] I would try the support forums when you find the model number, I havve a feeling it will be a Ricoch something. [07:41] frybye, i think you should have a look at alsa site to see what cards are supported. [07:41] frybye: audigy is a horrible company which will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.. but if you keep away from the newer cards they probably work in linux.. I've got an audigy2 myself [07:41] anyone? [07:41] randal, did you enable usb support on THAT guest os? [07:41] Slart: I literally LOLed at that after seeing your name... [07:42] jim_p: how do i do that [07:42] are there NFS that run under linux? [07:42] derklempner: nice to know someone still recognizes that quote =) [07:42] Slart: Just reread my bible last month. I can't forget stuff like that! [07:42] narcarsiss, only older ones through wine emulation. not sure about the new ones [07:42] jim - eh - intrepid normally uses pulse audio and not alsa or...? [07:42] narcarsiss: nfs as in file sharing over network? [07:42] narcarsiss, old as in nfs underground [07:43] narcarsiss: or "Need for speed" ? [07:43] Slart, oh i forgot about that [07:43] :P [07:43] jim_p: how do i do that [07:43] l337ingDisorder: OK, I figured it out. If you will be grepping around places where there are strange files hanging around, you'll want "-D skip" and "-I" . The /dev directory contains a whole bunch of bad links on my stock-standard ubuntu system, so they will give errors which you can safely ignore. [07:43] jbmigel no [07:43] derklempner, the use of smb:// is used by the FILE MANAGERS much like how http:// is used.. its not for fstab entries [07:44] * jbmigel shrugs [07:44] whats a good fps for linux [07:44] derklempner, check that using-samba docs for examples, and trobulshooting tips.. or find some other examples on various samba web sites I guess [07:44] randal, can you ask in #vbox or read its manual? i have not achieved it to work. what version of vbox are you on? [07:44] wsgordon, quake series [07:44] jim_p: I can't even tell by the question if it's the game or the network stuff.. but I can't remember if there are nfs clients for windows.. there has to be [07:44] network file storage [07:44] wsgordon, Tremulus, alien arena, world of padman, urban terror. [07:44] willis__: I figured as much, just wanted to be certain. Beyond (perhaps) file permissions and ownership, I can't understand why it won't mount it, though. [07:44] wsgordon totally quake runs native in linux with little effort! [07:44] jim_p: idk the newest one [07:45] So, does anyone here know of a nice little app which will play random tracks from my whole music collection until I tell it to stop? Or do I just have to make a mega mega playlist in gxmms2? [07:45] madbowboy, i got it to work [07:45] narcarsiss: yes.. both server and client is available.. [07:45] !nfs [07:45] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [07:45] madcowboy i got it to work [07:45] randal, open source or closed source? you downloaded a .deb file and installed? [07:45] i am planning to hide hdd in the man hole linked via wifi [07:45] derklempner, enable samba logging - and check the logs and trouble shoot.. Its maybe some very trivial typo or other quirk [07:45] theflea, sweet bud. [07:45] jbmigel: no [07:45] narcarsiss how are you getting power to it? [07:45] the loader wasnt installed on the right drive [07:45] willis__: I'd be happy to do so, but I don't know how. I'm a semi-newb. =( [07:45] jim_p: what file do i download [07:45] lol [07:46] just wanted to know cauldnot find them on google that have linux support thats all [07:46] d__ man i cant help you pal, was just a guess [07:46] 0=1 1=2 [07:46] narcarsiss: ah.. you mean like an external networked drive.. [07:46] my dad is an electritian :P [07:46] physically [07:46] randal, forget it. just show me where you got it from [07:46] thats it [07:46] silly pewter math. [07:46] jim_p: i got it from add/remove programs [07:46] MadCowBoy: well i actually had my old windows drivers lying around, so from that i gather its a "ricoh" [07:47] narcarsiss well i salute your manhole covered wifi connected city power spliced encrypted porn collection [07:47] narcarsiss: that would depend on what kind of networking protocols it uses.. linux can talk with regular windows file sharing, nfs, ftp and probably quite a few more [07:47] randal, then its the opensource one that does not have usb support [07:47] Quick question: how do you change the window manager gnome uses? [07:47] jbmigel: ROFL [07:47] Vorondil1, from gnome session i guess [07:47] Vorondil1, change it to what one? [07:47] Is there an easier way of having different background pictures as each work space, than going through compiz and disabling desktop in natilus and installing eye candy? [07:47] ohletmeinnowgodd, what version of Ubuntu do you have. [07:47] can you apt-get urban terror ? [07:47] jim_p: where do i go to get one that has open sorce i need it for itunes [07:47] CntrySheepFahker, kde can do that [07:47] Somewhat relatedly, why doesn't it use .xinitrc at all. :-P [07:47] Vorondil1: gnome is a window manager isn't it? [07:47] would be safer in linux with the hole drive encryption feature since i'm on linux [07:47] willis__: fvwm [07:48] jim_p, but gnome cant. :) [07:48] No, gnome is a desktop environment. [07:48] The window manager is a portion of that. [07:48] CntrySheepFahker: I don't think so.. at least I haven't found anything while searching [07:48] I'm trying to install something, and it needs the dependency: libopenla0a but it's not in the dependency installer area, any ideas?/ [07:48] Vorondil1: OK. [07:48] MadCowBoy: intrepid [07:48] can anyone help i have two motorola phones (v3 and v3x) but when i connect the v3 it recognises it as a mobile broadband device but the v3x does not (i'm a newby) what caapplication can i use to use the v3x to connect to the internet [07:48] Vorondil1, you may be better off making a customized .desktop entry for gdm that launches fwm and whatever gnome-parts you want.. [07:48] willis__: How do I enable logging for Samba? [07:48] Hai [07:48] slashme1: metacity and compix/beryl are window managers [07:49] CntrySheepFahker you know kde allows for different wallpapers for each workspace [07:49] what kind of card are you putting into the reader? [07:49] derklempner, its int he smb.conf file somewhere. [07:49] can I login to my ubuntu with VNC? [07:49] narcarsiss: Aah, OK... [07:49] randal, can you try floola to see if it works with your ipod? http://www.floola.com/modules/wiwimod/ [07:49] does anyone know if the addonics sata card work on ubuntu 8.04 and if the port multipliers also work ? [07:49] I mean with out actually having to go to the box and type in username and password? [07:49] willis__: Okay, thanks. I'll take a gander... [07:49] jbmigel: Yeah I just googled that.. Sux gnome doesn't though.. [07:49] My load average is 10.25, totem has 2 instances running... both at 95% cpu. Looks like one is zombie. Kill isn't shutting them down, any suggestions? [07:49] derklempner, 'samba-doc' package also :) [07:49] narcarsiss: I come from the dark ages when you ran X and ran a window manager on X. I always used to run WindowMaker until a few weeks ago. [07:49] jim_p: whats that [07:49] thats a large download wow .... [07:49] vadar: ROBOOT [07:49] I'm trying to install something, and it needs the dependency: libopenla0a but it's not in the dependency installer area, any ideas?/ [07:50] *REBOOT [07:50] CntrySheepFahker ya it does suck you know... i wonder if its even on their radar... kde has done that forever [07:50] jbmigel: I wonder why gnome can't if kde can, structurely isn't it about the same shit just different overlay? [07:50] pish [07:50] randal, its an ipod management utility [07:50] Photoguy: hm.. googling for libopnla gave me exactly 1 hit.. are you sure it's spelled correctly? [07:50] ohletmeinnowgodd, I just put an SD card into my ricoh and it 'just works' what kind of card are you using? [07:50] vadar did you try kill -9? [07:50] as in killall -9 totem [07:50] jim_p: if its not itunes it will not work i have an ipod touch i need apps ect [07:50] MadCowBoy: a toshiba 1g SD [07:50] or whatever the binary calls itself. [07:50] slashme1: Yep. I'd rather not reboot if at all possible. [07:50] slashme1: WOW my friend you have just moved on up in the world :P [07:50] Slart, you spelled it wrong... it's libopenal0a [07:50] nothing happens eh? [07:50] CntrySheepFahker you know i bet it could be added in easy... just nobodys done it yet... you want to try? [07:50] randal, well you can give it a try [07:50] narcarsiss: lol [07:50] CntrySheepFahker, the gnome file manager handles the 'desktop' is the issue.. vs the kde file manager handling the desktop..

[07:58] Slart, no I guess it won't work then, because the game installer won't settle for libopenal1 :P [07:58] So, does anyone here have experience doing remote desktop support from an ubuntu box? [07:58] hi [07:59] is there an option for dpkg to list only the automatically installed packages ? [07:59] @d___ use wvdial [07:59] so it seems to be working though although it should be automounting and showing an icon on the desktop if your set up that way, you should be able to see your files in nautilus, and given the proper permissions, you should be able to do whatever you want to it.

[08:01] kantor: if you want only manually installed packages, put \! in front of the ~M [08:01] jbmigel, MadCowBoy: that's all true, but what I want to do is to see her screen, move her mouse and show her what to do. I used to do that using a remote desktop application way back when I did user-support while doing my thesis. [08:01] rww, thanks a lot ;-) [08:01] Err hischild, this isn't really off-topic, I need an app suggestion to do remote-desktop support from my ubuntu box. [08:01] slashme1 maybe vnc then?

[08:19] david0453: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst, look for the vga= line in there, and correct it [08:19] david0453: and then do "sudo update-grub" when you're done correcting [08:19] do i put the values that i see at boot? [08:19] rww, do i need to do sudo update-grub every time i change menu.lst? [08:20] because i have never done it... [08:20] david0453: if you remember the three-digit code next to the 3, you could use that. For example, mine says vga=0x346, because the line said 346 [08:20] i will reboot and check [08:20] thanks [08:20] david0453: yes. If you just did updates, you probably got a kernel upgrade, which would run update-grub [08:20] i did get a kernel update [08:20] so i change it and do sudo update-grub?

[08:27] david346: you can just remove the vga= thing completely if you don't use virtual terminals, you know... [08:27] Guys, If the HDD containing vista is on sda2 what would be the correct code for it to boot? [08:27] @jbmigel - blank backgroud [08:27] rww, what are virtual terminals? i never added vga= after the update all this came out... [08:28] @jbmigel - nothing else and system hangs up [08:28] rams ya lots of people are complaining about that, its something to do with your graphics card i think [08:28] rww, what are virtual terminals? i never added vga=, after the update all this came out... [08:28] i think the same, [08:28] but what should be done [08:29] rams sorry im not sure what to do... did you try the vesa driver? [08:29] Hm... Seems like I can't actually delete the entries under "Other", just unmark them. [08:29] david346: Odds are, menu.lst was changed a while ago and update-grub only just got run. Updates don't add lines to menu.lst ;). Virtual terminals are the things that pop up if you do Ctrl-Alt-1, Ctrl-Alt-2, etc. (if you do that, hit Ctrl-Alt-7 to get back to graphical mode) [08:29] mrbear, as a user you can hide them.. they are system wide settings.. so a user cant remove the, [08:29] no, how to do it? Can u please guide me? [08:29] could anyone recommend me a guide for pxe (network install ) [08:30] Dr_willis: How can I remove them then? [08:30] rww, ctrl+alt+F1.F2 [08:30] !pxe [08:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe [08:30] david346: sorry, yeah. F1, F2, etc. [08:30] rams ok do this: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:30] network install? [08:30] mrbear, if You Uncheck them. then your user wont see them in the menus as far as i know.. isent that what you wanted?

Can somome help me boot Vista? [08:31] Dr_willis: Sure, but I don't like having tons of different non-existing shortcuts lying around. Especially when there's a delete option. [08:31] what next? [08:32] rams it will have a line that says driver "lalalal" where lalala is your current driver... hey what is it now? [08:32] mojo: are you trying to get Windows to boot from GRUB? [08:32] mrbear, they are not non-existing shortcuts.,. thats windows thinking.. The settings tell the menu program to ignore/hide those entries. [08:32] rww: Yes [08:32] let me check it? [08:32] mrbear, other users on the same system may want them..or you may want them back at some time. [08:33] mojo: I'm not sure how to do it, but a scan through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot might be useful. [08:33] mrbear, all menu entries are defined by various *.desktop files in some specific system dirs.. when you remove whatever package.. it will remove those files and thus remove the menu entry. === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [08:34] hi guys , im having some issues with my SD reader, it sayd the controller is disabled, how do i enable it? http://pastebin.com/me59dbb [08:34] rww: i just skimmed that, and found nothing about my issue [08:35] rams it will probably be "ati" or "nvidia" or something cool like that... did you find it? [08:35] Dr_willis_: Well... I installed those applications through Wine, and now I've removed them. That's why I don't want thos shortcuts anymore, and I know for a fact that I don't want them in the future either. [08:35] rww: Could you look at my menu.lst and tell me what i should do? [08:35] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89074/ [08:35] mrbear, WINE is a totally different matter.. You never mentioned wine befor. :) [08:35] mrbear, wine menu items are in the users homd direcory somewhere in some .DIRECTORY [08:36] just now i restarted the system, please wiat... [08:36] mojo: I don't use Windows, so I can't really help you.

Does anyone know this so I can go to bed :(. [08:37] mojo: I don't know what grub settings you need to boot into Windows, 'cause I've never had to make it do that, is what I mean. Ask in #grub maybe? [08:37] corinth: kubuntu-desktop [08:37] Dr_willis_: I'm totally new to Ubuntu, and I have no idea where to look for it.

[08:42] mojo: ok.. grub doesn't use the sda1 notation.. it uses hd0, hd1 etc [08:42] mojo: so change sda2 to hd1 [08:42] slart: ok [08:42] rww, how can i use it . i open it . now what can i do [08:42] dr_willis_: I can go and run the manager, but it doesn't load the dock at bottom.

[08:46] mojo: what other boot commands do you mean? [08:46] slart: what about the mapping n such [08:46] welcome back rams... that kbd is not quite what we're looking for... thats the driver for your keyboard [08:46] Thanks rww!

[08:54] can someone plz help me out? [08:54] I just now installed 7.10 successfully, but after logging in i am not getting the desktop. Can anyone help me? [08:54] I try not to upgrade until I have problems, and since that's the only problem I have with Ubuntu, I figured I'd wait until I knew whather or not that release solved it before I upgraded. [08:54] ohletmeinnowgodd, how is the controller identified in lsusb or lspci? [08:54] rams, What are you getting instead?

[08:56] rams, do ps -A | grep gdm [08:56] and tell me if anything comes up [08:56] if nothing returns, than do sudo gdm [08:56] ohletmeinnowgodd, let me rephrase. are you sure it oly says ricoh and no other instance?

GDM runs that, and if GDM is on and you're not seeing errors, that's strange. [09:02] jim_p: i dont know how that helps me,... [09:02] ohletmeinnowgodd, the module is the same. can you load it? [09:03] jim_p: load the module? [09:03] @ohzie, actually i could not install directly, so i used all_generic_ide kernal option [09:03] ohletmeinnowgodd, sudo modprobe sdhci [09:03] rams, I'm not sure what that option does, to be honest. [09:04] ohletmeinnowgodd, did it return any errors? [09:04] rams, But what I do know, is that if GDM is on and you're graphical interface isn't working OR showing errors as to why it's not working, then something is wrong. [09:04] jim_p: rootzilla@rootzilla:~$ modprobe sdhci [09:04] rootzilla@rootzilla:~$ [09:04] nope [09:05] ohletmeinnowgodd, try using the device now to see if it works [09:05] anyone know how to install boost 1.36 or later?

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [09:07] rams, does the intel driver work? [09:07] its rar? [09:08] @jim_p, how can I know that? [09:08] nbeebo, There are multiple formats which can do that [09:08] does anybody know how to configure 17.1" LCD on Ubuntu? I think the view is a little yellow...

[09:11] wait a minute [09:11] ohzie, you may find it inside kernel documentation in kernelnewbies.org [09:11] join #india [09:12] jim_p, As far as I'm aware, it was just an issue the ubuntu distro was having. Fedora wasn't having it, so I figured I'd ask here about it. I'll check kernel newbies though, [09:12] ohzie, isnt there a workaround for it? [09:13] jim_p, Turning ehci_hcd off is the workaround that I've read, and that's not really a fix for the issue, so much of removing it entirely. The result works, but is very slow. [09:14] is anyone here i hope [09:15] us [09:15] gah [09:15] sshh [09:15] @jim_p, Driver "kbd" [09:15] Driver "mouse" [09:15] Driver "wacom" [09:15] Driver "wacom" [09:15] Driver "wacom" [09:15] Driver "intel" [09:15] rams: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:53] <_2> primski did you update the driver too ? if not, you probably don't have a driver for the new kernel version/subversion [09:53] intrepid yes [09:53] huh, how do i update driver or better yet, why didnt synaptic do it itself ? [09:54] it worked 10 times before, its not the first kernel update [09:54] and yes, there is no more 'wl' in the restricted drivers app [09:54] <_2> err maybe not then. i was thinking that broadcom was like ati needed non-foss support === vic is now known as Guest35507 [09:55] i prolly need to to 'insmod' some modules, and then it should appear under restricted drivers ?

[10:06] i tried the ip address suggested at the end of bug #153980 on launchpad but it didn't work (that's just archive.ubuntu.com and it seemed apt just didn't like me replacing my sources with that at all) [10:06] <_2> isaacj87 most like top, imo it has it's place but that's like starting a forklift to load a 40lbs sack of feed into a pickup.... overkill!

[10:08] <_2> zeeeee where you have something like http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com it's saying remove the nl. from the url [10:09] <_2> zeeeee not to replace the entire file with one (incomplete) line [10:10] _2, yes, that's what i meant when i said i had tried replacing all us.archive with archive in the sources.list [10:10] <_2> k [10:10] Can anyone help me to install plesk ?

[10:13] Which one to download ? [10:13] <_2> zeeeee or 8.10 ? [10:13] _2, to 7.10 [10:13] zeeeee:you must input 'apt-get update'in terminal at first. [10:14] zhjawe, ah yeah, and running that is what produces the 404 not found's [10:14] <_2> zeeeee zhjawe is correct, but it's not that simple either. you have to change the codename in your sources.list first then do that [10:14] This site is only offering panels upto ver. 8.04 [10:15] hi [10:15] <_2> !worksforme [10:15] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others).

[10:17] zeeeee:or you select a available source server in desktop and then input'apt-get upgrade'. [10:17] Can anybody suggest a control panel like plesk to work on Ubuntu 8.10 x86 64-bit [10:17] Hi, is there any way to easily install java in a headless environment where I don't need to install X and any other stuff like that? [10:17] <_2> zeeeee it would be the easiest for you if you can stand the bandwidth to just dl the install iso for the release you want. [10:17] zhjawe, i don't mind editing the sources.list directly, i just am not sure what source to use [10:18] FearMoth: you can install it normally and get the X libraries without installing an X server [10:18] i have a question that how to upgrade u8.04 to redhat [10:18] <_2> zeeeee it key is in the "codename" lsb_release -a [10:18] _2, hm, simply changing feisty to hardy sounds dangerous. [10:18] zeeeee:main server,if you are not sure which source is best. [10:18] Logi: which package do I need to install? I just need to be able to run statsvn.jar [10:19] zhjawe, what's 'main server'? us.archive.ubuntu.com? because that's what i was originally using. [10:19] hasibullah: just install redhat on the ubuntu partition [10:19] _2, i'm positive i'm on feisty; lsb_release -a agrees [10:19] <_2> zeeeee the archive.ubuntu.com never changes for a supported release. [10:19] FearMoth: I've not done this for a very long time, but I'm pretty sure the standard packages only depend on X libraries and would allow you to run GUI apps through an ssh -X connection and show up on a local display [10:20] Where do i find the open source linux drivers? [10:20] zeeeee:main server is the default server when you have installed ubuntu. [10:20] FearMoth: so you should be able to just apt-get install the java packages [10:20] _2, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/ === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [10:20] zhjawe, yes, that would be us.archive.ubuntu.com [10:20] hi everyone.

[10:21] Logi: don't have it [10:21] <_2> zeeeee then the steps are 1. change fiesty to hardy and make sure the url's are correct. 2. sudo apt-get update 3. if all successful sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:21] zeeeee:ok,you are right. [10:21] <_2> zeeeee some useful commands if something doesn't work right. sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:22] <_2> zeeeee fiesty doesn't need "old..." yet. [10:22] hi my laptop dont shutdown completely and i have to press the power stop the power [10:22] thanks Logi I'll try it out.. one more question: if I apt-get install a package, when I apt-get remove --purge it, are all its unused dependencies removed also? [10:23] <_2> !release > zeeeee [10:23] zeeeee, please see my private message [10:23] <_2> FearMoth no. [10:23] FearMoth: they're marked as being installed only as dependencies. aptitude will let you clean them out and I'm sure apt-get has an option to do that [10:23] Can someone help me [10:23] <_2> aptitude install blah then aptitude purge should [10:24] i have installed openarena from sypnatic and it does not show at games menu!?

[10:24] hi, how can I deinstall songbird? [10:24] <_2> aptitude purge blah [10:24] FearMoth: I was just scanning the sun-java6-jre dependencies and if you install only the dependencies and not all the recommendations or suggestions, then you can avoid any X [10:24] _2, by hardy you meant gutsy?

[10:25] <_2> zeeeee no. i meant hardy. but if you want gutsy go for that. again i reccomend clean isntall from the cd personally [10:25] samanen: mostly sure openarena is not installed, try sudo apt-get install openarena in a terminal [10:25] <_2> zeeeee hardy is LTS i.e. 3 year [10:26] accually when i unistall the applications from wine but still they appear in its menu how to remove them [10:26] _2, but dist-upgrades must proceed sequentially [10:26] fosco_ : can't install from terminal :O [10:26] Thanks Logi, _2 [10:26] _2, 7.04->7.10->8.04->8.10 [10:26] <_2> zeeeee that's crap.

[11:00] YUKI: yes.. the desktop edition usually starts X when it boots.. but that's not really needed for the os to function.. it works fine without X too [11:00] hoh [11:00] : potwak or should I look it up on the internet? [11:00] how can i boot w/o x? [11:00] krlhc8: i forgot the command. :p [11:01] : potwak that's what google's for; i'll start searching for it...

If you eject the disk the sound will stop. [11:28] kley: ha! i just tried that command!!! it doesn't work does it?! [11:28] i have a hp laptopb with ubuntu 8.10 on it , cant get wireless working [11:28] krlhc8: from microchip. how about you? [11:28] tavi----: I suppose the sound ends when you kill X ?

[11:30] neil_d: eject teh disk? cd-rom? i tried same thing [11:30] kley: okay. [11:30] tavi----: I suppose it could be a bug, the vlc certainly isn't cleaning up properly, when exiting. [11:30] Neaai: i didn see this situation before so i do not know what to say [11:30] rww: sorry!!! [11:30] does http://tenthblog.com... will help on my card ? [11:30] ? [11:30] neil_d: so whatś the solution? [11:30] tavi----: what thing. [11:31] the Wasatch winter ale is dope. the Serra Nevada wniter ale isn't a poor choice either [11:31] the sound don stop [11:31] don´t [11:32] tavi----: you're playing a dvd movie in your case ? [11:32] tavi----: if you run "ps -AF | grep vlc -" then kill the process the sound will stop. [11:32] kley: you have a problem on your wireless card? [11:32] i play a mp4 from the pc [11:32] neil_d: there was no vlc process running when we checked earlier [11:32] tavi@tavi-desktop:~$ ps -AF | grep vlc - tavi 7873 7844 0 752 772 0 13:32 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vlc - tavi@tavi-desktop:~$ [11:33] Slart: well, i just realized that my mouse is not configured for tty, but i think it used to work... [11:33] this is a vlc problem? [11:34] tavi----: you could try to see what gives: sudo lspci | grep mp4 [11:34] tavi----: err.. wrong erase that [11:34] well ,the problem is it doesnt work [11:34] sorry, successs, yeah [11:34] tavi----: sodo lsof | grep mp4 [11:34] tavi@tavi-desktop:~$ sudo lspci | grep mp4 [sudo] password for tavi: tavi@tavi-desktop:~$ [11:34] my mobile detects wireless , but may pc doesnt [11:34] sudo* [11:34] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [11:34] * Reconfiguring network interfaces... /etc/network/interfaces:21: option with empty value [11:34] ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces" [11:34] thats normal ?

[11:35] kley: sorry [11:35] maibe i can try restart x.... [11:36] but this doesn´t solve the problem [11:36] i must know if is a bug [11:36] kley: what is the name of your wireless card? [11:36] tavi----: that's what I meant with killing X. you can do that by logging out, or the harsh way, ctrl-alt-backspace [11:36] or a mistake of mine [11:36] harsh way? [11:36] tavi----: when using vlc, remember to use the stop button first, before closing the program. [11:37] ctrl alt backspace is the most close [11:37] tavi----: yea, that's the harsh way. The "shoot X in the head with a gun" way [11:37] neil_d: aha....so is a bug of vlc? [11:37] Neaai: is a recomded way? [11:37] tavi----: no. [11:37] why? [11:37] paste bin of /etc/network/interfaces http://paste.ubuntu.com/89148/ [11:38] and whats the recomended way? [11:38] 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [11:38] tavi----: because all processes are just terminated. no clean up is done. gdm itself is being killed and ALL what runs in your current session follows it to the same fate. Which is to restart. [11:39] aha [11:39] so the recomended is? [11:39] tavi----: you can shutdown gdm with: sudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" [11:39] can any one help ? [11:39] not this [11:39] whatś recomended [11:39] tavi----: you can also log out, do you know how ? [11:40] no [11:40] kley: try to read this thread. this might help. :) [11:40] i cat restart the pc [11:40] kley: http://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=4&url=http%3A%2F%2Fph.ubuntuforums.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D730220&ei=aNlMSZm0N5zoswKUjbTiDQ&usg=AFQjCNGIC7JcEXirjECE0xfEZVJ0IYTtrg&sig2=jZoOPKDWElgf5SQch1pMDA [11:40] tavi----: you can shutdown gdm with: sudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" that's how you should shutdown X/gdm [11:40] that is more simply [11:40] i can [11:40] 10x potwak [11:40] kley: sorry, i messed up. http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=730220 [11:40] tavi----: top right there is a red icon that looks like a 'power' symbol, see it ? [11:40] and i suppose when a restart is done a cleanup is done ? [11:40] tavi----: to start it again do: sudo "/etc/init.d/gdm start" [11:40] ok [11:41] neil_d: yes to him i refer tro restart [11:41] Neaai: neah i do not handle good linux [11:41] so better do it easy [11:41] :) [11:41] potwak: Would you mind if I offer kley a suggestion, I don't want to hijack your help. [11:42] so recomended is the red button then restart? [11:42] tavi----: just try the gui way first, you can allways restart gdm if you need to latter. [11:42] instead of ctrl alt backspace [11:42] tavi----: yes. [11:42] clearmoments: alright. [11:42] gui? [11:42] clearmoments: my moment is clear. [11:42] tavi----: no... not restart, log out [11:43] Hey People! I have an amilo notebook and want to activate an external monitor. So far (several hours of experimentation) no luck. External monitor stays black. On windows it works. Any ideas? [11:43] but i need later the pc [11:43] potwak :( ,i cant acces http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=730220 [11:43] kley: Have you opened a terminal window and typed dmesg | less ? [11:43] so ? i need restart [11:43] tavi----: xtrl-alt-backspace is the harshest way to restart X. Do *not* turn that to a habit. [11:43] Neaai: hobby? [11:43] kley: I apologize if you've tried that already. [11:44] tavi----: you probably don't need to restart the whole computer, just log out the log back in, its much quicker. [11:44] tavi----: just avoid doing that. [11:44] no man i didnt [11:44] :( [11:44] neil_d: so how i do it? [11:44] tavi----: man, just logout and then login back. [11:44] what should i look at , search wireless things ? [11:45] kley: Try that and search for the string ath0 or wlan0 something [11:45] ok [11:45] where is that cause i have the pc in my language [11:45] ? [11:45] See if the card is loading the driver, if not, you can try ndiswrapper [11:45] That wraps "some" Windows drivers as linux ones. [11:45] tavi----: click on the red button, a window will pop up ask to do 6 things, click log out, then when this is done, you will see the log in screen, and reenter you name and password to log back in. [11:46] kley: sorry for that broken link. try this, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321045.html [11:46] neil_d: i have the pc in my language [11:46] I really like this channel. [11:46] Not all that n00b, R.T.F.M.. crap. [11:46] neil_d: what´s that option? first from top ? first from down? [11:46] tavi----: the log out button is top left, a green circle with an arrow on it. [11:47] also green that arrow [11:47] i see it [11:47] so i will use this instead ctrl alt backspace? [11:47] potwak: My friend is having a problem with his wireless card too, I appreciate that link its very helpful. [11:47] and i need to close all i have open? [11:47] tavi----: .... forget about ctrl-alt-backspace.

[11:48] :( [11:48] kley: That thread potwak just posted seems pretty helpful. [11:48] tavi----: all will close with it. [11:48] Neaai: ok [11:48] j [11:48] see you later [11:48] k [11:48] tavi----: yes, if you need to turn the computer off use the "red circle" and the blue circle made of two arrow to restart the computer from scatch. [11:49] i am reading [11:50] I found this cute computer http://www.norhtec.com/products/mcjrsx/index.html it has a CPU without a floating point unit, can I use it as a LTSP terminal ?

[11:59] no [11:59] well [11:59] Neaai, lol..maybe it come from what ive been through befoe [11:59] I don't know what the installation does? [11:59] so whatś the problem? [11:59] I choose "install ubuntu" from the main menu [11:59] gein: what iso did you download exactly? [11:59] hmm, let me check [11:59] neaai: when running application, pc will hang, keyboard not function and nothing can be done except switch the main power off. [11:59] tavi----, you already install csound? [12:00] yes [12:00] tavi wait [12:00] 8.04 server edition [12:00] ok [12:00] tavi----: I don't know. It could be a faulty decoder for mp4 for example. You have to see how it behaves with other formats. music, video, .flv and all. [12:00] b33r: Try this page http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/graphical-user-interface.html [12:00] Say, ubuntu people, I can't mdb (mono-debugger) to run, because it keeps throwing me an exception telling me it cant find Mono.Debugger.DebuggerOptions. Am I missing some dependency? [12:01] just don´t do me problems i have wrecked once my pc [12:01] tavi----, you already install..why dont you try you music.. [12:01] but I have two isos, one for desktop and one for server. Could it be the case that I have mixed those two cds? [12:01] etan: and when does this happen? at which moment ? [12:01] Neaai: could tavi---- need a full restart ? [12:01] b33r: Have you tried contacting the provider? [12:01] I pretty sure that's not the case (but I have not labeled them so I'm not sure [12:01] tavi----, you ask from pro..i just tell what i know [12:01] clearmoments, I will when I give up :d [12:01] neil_d: could be, if the driver is stuck for some unearthy reason. He'd be safe to reboot at this point. [12:02] ? [12:02] howdy [12:02] gein: I'm 90% sure the server iso won't give you that shiny progress bar. It may be. The only difference would be that X is trying to load and then messes things up. Did the install run a nice GNOME-like gui? [12:02] My wife is at home with my Debian box, and she is using a DSL modem which gives the box a local IP address (10.0.0.254 or whatever) via DHCP, so there is no ppoe or anything. I want to ssh into the box, but I can't figure out what command to tell her to type to find out the address!!! [12:02] b33r: To get those links I googled "openvpn gui linux" and "openvpn" [12:02] kley: sorry for the late reply. does your wireless card works on windows? [12:02] !who| gein [12:02] gein: 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 :) [12:02] slashme: she wants to ssh somewhere or you want to ssh to that debian box ? [12:03] tavi----: try a restart, bottom middle of the window. [12:03] I want to ssh into her box, so first I need her IP address. === gizmo is now known as gizmo`helper [12:03] slashme: Can she use firefox? [12:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/89161/ does this mean i have the drivers ? [12:03] the sound in vlc don´t work whit music [12:03] am i nice with this nick? [12:03] jrib: I havent seen any gnome like gui before the screen goes blank, no [12:03] slashme: ifconfig [12:03] potwak i dont have windows [12:03] slashme: whatismyip.org [12:03] clearmoments: yes, she can. [12:03] clearmoments, btw this info I got from provider http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/89162/ [12:03] am i nice with this nick? [12:03] slashme: She can go to http://whatismyip.org [12:03] gein: alright, then I don't know [12:03] It will report her external ip [12:03] i doubt he can play music [12:03] jrib: ok, thanks anyway [12:03] jrib, clearmoments that gives the service provider's IP address. [12:03] i had vista a year ago 3 days i bot the lap and formated it , i dont need evil [12:04] tavi----: try a reboot at this point. [12:04] tavi----, can play now? === gizmo`helper is now known as gizmo [12:04] gein: try to see if you get a console on the screen if you choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu [12:04] Neaai: ifconfig only gives the local address configured by the router. [12:04] no [12:04] slashme: What ip are you looking for? [12:04] neaai: aplication running but displays line distortion after setting up the screen resolution or mouse [12:04] slashme: that's what you need... [12:04] slashme: ah you mean you want the ip as the world sees it ? [12:04] tavi----, what version are you use? [12:04] WAN ip? [12:04] Neaai, exactly. [12:04] http://www.whatismyip.org [12:04] my wireless worked perfectly on 8.04.1 , but since 8.10 i dint use it , now i dosnt work [12:04] hardy heron [12:04] etan: with any application or anything speciffic ? [12:05] tavi----, not ubuntu version 8.10/ [12:05] slashme: she needs to setup the router to forward ssh to the computer on the lan as well [12:05] no [12:05] jrib: Exactly. [12:05] hardy heron i´ve said [12:05] tavi----, sorry i dont know about that.. [12:05] jrib: You're right, she needs to forward 22 on the router. [12:05] I am having a weird problem... just installed Mint 6 on my external (usb) 750gb harddrive - everything went well and when I rebooted the loader came up, grub looked like it was doing its thing then it interupts itself and gives an error 17: partition not found... I've been googling like crazy, changed menu.lst to different hd0, hd1, etc. but the problem persists - any ideas? [12:05] hardy heron have terminal on it? [12:05] jrib: the server version won't fire up X at all right? [12:05] clearmoments: OK, thanks. [12:05] gizmo: so....thanks ...for nothing [12:05] gein: correct, it shouldn't even be installed [12:05] slashme: np [12:05] jrib: thanks! [12:05] why didn´t ask from the begining about version? [12:05] slashme: hmmm. have you done this before, what you want to? I doubt you'd be able to do what you want, unless the router that does NAT for the debian box, does ip forwarding as well. [12:06] !grub | baz_ [12:06] baz_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:06] so do you know a sound issues channel? [12:06] tavi----, if i know..i will told you..but im still new..and im wiling to help ubuntu ... [12:06] I've searched the forums and google and the rest of the net! [12:06] gizmo: so ask what version i use [12:06] so do you know a sound issues channel? [12:06] Neaai: Never done it before. I was kind of hoping it would be straightforward. [12:07] potwak could you please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/89161/ [12:07] tavi----, ok what os you use now..? [12:07] i already raid...:) was a suggestion for you [12:07] tavi----: you might want to see if there are issues with the driver of the soundcard type you have. Use google for that and check forums around. [12:07] because you didn´t asked from the very beginning [12:07] :) [12:07] tavi----: as it seems there's no quick way for you for the moment to know what's happening and so is for us. [12:08] tavi----, because im new..and know nothing but try to help what i know.. [12:08] Neaai: must be a sound problems dedicated channel here [12:08] slashme: most probable you won't be able to. Do you have control of the adsl modem ? [12:08] hi all!! Does anyone use the ''resize to available screenplace'' compiz plugin? [12:08] well but you don´t knwo about hardy heron [12:08] Neaai: It's a bit far away. [12:08] tavi----: if there is I don't know about it. [12:08] slashme: managing wise. [12:09] well someone know all the channels in here? [12:09] Neaai: I'll be there on Thursday, then I'll figure it out. [12:09] whatś about them? [12:09] where i can find something [12:09] ? [12:09] Neaai: A bit hard to talk a newbie through an operation I'm not familiar with over skype. [12:09] omfg my internet fail [12:09] Neaai: Better I go do it there. [12:09] slashme: when you are there, see to check for any "port forwarding option". you have to enable that for for port 22 and direct it to whatever ip the debian box has. [12:10] Neaai: Yep, I'll be looking for that, thanks! [12:10] slashme: no problem [12:10] jrib: it seems to be the case I'm installing from a desktop iso, thanks! [12:10] kley: did you got the idea on how Mr. mikewhatever solve its problem? [12:10] Playing with the best die like the rest ... [12:11] a first channel or a help channel exist? [12:11] kley: on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321045.html [12:11] like cservice on undernet? [12:11] gein: I should have said "was the installer an ncurses based one?" before then :) [12:11] tavi----: most here, including me, are just other users like you. we can't know everything. [12:12] jrib: probably, thanks for the help! [12:12] if you install on an external drive, say sdc, where do u place the bootloader, on sdc or sdc1,sdc2,etc.? [12:12] that is do u choose a partition or the whole drive? [12:12] baz_: you want a bootloader on an external drive ? [12:12] my machine has a AMD Opteron 165 CPU (64-bit).. should I choose the 64-bit version of ubuntu or is there any drawbacks by doing that? [12:13] baz_: you could go with the mbr, that is the entire drive selection. [12:13] morning [12:13] neaai: i think so, thats what i read in some how-to's but i am not an expert === Stooge is now known as Dvoj [12:13] can anyone offer some advice on getting Compose keys working in Gutsy? Everything seems to be set up correctly, but it Just Plain Doesn't Work [12:13] ooo === Dvoj is now known as Stooge [12:13] baz_: does your box support booting from external devices? if not, it's useless. [12:14] and who is an ...official letś say like this [12:14] ? [12:14] neaai: it does, after my install the pretty mint boot selection pops up [12:14] potwak : you mean this It seems linux-restricted-modules also has firmware and (I guess) other "stuff" that ipw3945 needs to work correctly ...this ideea ? [12:15] kley: i think you should install the appropriate diver for your hardware to work. [12:15] baz_: then I'd try the mbr way. master boot record, sdc in the example. [12:15] driver* [12:16] potwak> can you help to find where is written how i do that ? [12:16] neaai: thats what i tried and the boot options pop-up after reboot, but then after waiting 5-10 seconds without doing anything i get an error 17: partition doesnt exists - how could it be that the menu appears then disappears - doesnt the fact that it apears in the first place mean the proper partition was found or is that not how it works === onats_ is now known as onats [12:17] baz_: hmmm. it must be anything with proper device numbering. Like as in, does it always show as sdc or someteimes even as sdd ? === marius is now known as Guest34359 [12:18] If there are any Ubuntu networking experts here, would you please look at my questions in the networking channel. Thanks. [12:19] neaai: how can i check what its detected as without booting in? [12:19] kley: maybe the advice of Paulo79 would help. [12:19] kley: on this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321045.html [12:19] baz_: you could try to use other usb port. It's an usb device I presume ? [12:19] neaai: i tried manually changing (hd0,1) to every possible combination and even changed menu.lst to use UUIDs as i read in one article! [12:19] neaai: yes its usb [12:20] potwak i am already tring , thanks man a lot [12:20] *trying [12:20] baz_: it's properly partitioned and does have a system installed, right ? [12:20] neaai: right [12:20] 0i am in it on liv cd right now (not this machine [12:20] kley: How is it working for you? [12:21] kley: its a great experience to solve that problem. you would be happy for that, i'm sure. [12:21] :) [12:21] 4 gigs aint enough:( [12:22] clearmoments, kley: i'm leaving. have fun. got many things to do for now. [12:22] :) [12:22] baz_: usually, when you change the refference of (hd0,1) to something else, you also need to change the root option accordingly [12:22] potwak: Alright, have a good one. [12:22] neaai: if i do fdisk -l the boot drive should be the one with a * under the boot column, correct? in my case now that is /dev/sdb1 [12:22] :) [12:22] kley: Good luck! [12:22] clearmoments: bye bye [12:22] potwak what means ii and rc at the beging of line ? [12:23] :( [12:23] kley: Beginning of what line? [12:23] kley: rc = removed, but config remains [12:24] baz_: can you try to boot that disk on the box? you said you're writing from another system, or is it the same one with a liveCD ? [12:24] neaai: so in my menu.lst i should have (hd1, 0) [12:24] kley: ii is fully installed, but the header of the dpkg output also tells that [12:24] neaai: i'm on my eeepc writing here so i can play with the other one [12:24] on trying this dpkg -la | grep linux-restricted-modules [12:24] neaai: but it is another laptop [12:25] so i need them all . or just it says what i allreadi have [12:25] ? [12:25] baz_: ok, try to boot again and see what grub gives. [12:25] hello ppl [12:25] baz_: you said it was error 15 ? [12:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/89172/ ? [12:26] i just recompiled the alsa drivers but that doesnt work fine. Then i would like to reverse what i just did to compile an older version apparently stable. how do i do that? [12:26] neaai: booting again... error 17, partition not found [12:26] kley: they're installed [12:26] can i just recompile them "on" the previous one, or do i have to clean up the mess a little? [12:26] identify [12:26] man dpkg [12:27] opppz [12:27] wrong window [12:27] lolz [12:27] clearmoments: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:27] i just cant understand ,what i need then :( [12:27] sorry, I do not understand how to do the auto identify... tryed the webpage but do not understand it. [12:27] kley: don't ask the answer, but the question [12:27] baz_: let me see what does that mean exactly [12:28] hspaans the answer is in the question , if i knew what to ask for from the begining :( [12:28] Sorry Mr. FloodBot1. [12:29] can anyone offer some advice on getting Compose keys working in Gutsy? Everything seems to be set up correctly, but it Just Plain Doesn't Work [12:29] baz_: get the grub prompt and: find /boot/grub/stage1 === BilllyJoe is now known as BillyJoe [12:30] neaai: ok, by find do u mean "cd"? [12:30] is it possible to install ubuntu server using the S-video output? After choosing Install ubuntu server the screen stats to flicker a lot (and now I'm positive that I'm running ubuntu server :)) [12:30] baz_: no. "find" [12:31] neaai: ok and by grub prompt should i press "e" to edit or "c" for command line :) [12:31] baz_: c [12:32] neaai: i get (hd1,0) [12:32] kley: I don't know if its been answered, but rc means a package is installed but the configs remain: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dpkg-what-does-a-status-of-rc-mean-355593/ [12:32] baz_: that's what your will put in menu.lst. record that on a piece of paper. [12:32] done [12:33] Hi , I 'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and KDE 4.1.3 . I find that after logging in again, Gajim doesn't start automatically whereas all other applications that were running before logout start automatically. How to set it right? [12:33] it seems that the S-video output is swithced to 60Hz NTSC according to a forum thread on ubuntu forums [12:33] I am struggling to install fedora guest in virtualbox on a Ubuntu host? The screen is to big so some of the buttons in the install screen is hidden off screen and I can't get to them. Any ideas? [12:33] prabz: system > preferences > sessions add the command here [12:34] neaai: should i reboot into live cd and change menu.lst - also do i keep the brackets? [12:34] how do I install the "Host USB Proxy Service"? [12:34] baz_: hd1,0 translates to sdb1. that's what should go for root=. as in root=/dev/sdb1 [12:34] okay, last time I ask - can anyone help me get compose keys working in Gutsy? I've read various things on the Ubuntu forums, and everything seems to be set up correctly, but it still doesn't work [12:34] stapel you can tab until the one you want should be selected (guess) then enter [12:35] baz_: press escape to exit the prompt and then "e" to start editing the lines [12:35] so rc means no conflicting just the config ? am i right clearmoments ? [12:35] thanx kurt...i'll give it a shot [12:35] baz_, well, I'm using KDE, it automatically saves the previous session.. But apparently it doesn't do the same with Gajim [12:35] kley: Apparently, yes. I means the package is removed, but the configuration files remian. [12:36] It* excuse me. [12:36] okay, presumably no-one knows or no-one is interested [12:36] gordonjcp: most probably noone here knows. :) [12:36] neaai: i pressed 'e' on the first line and i have 'root' with a tab, should i change that to 'root=/dev/sdb1' [12:36] Neaai: it's a pretty major shortcoming, really [12:36] how to open Terminal by enter "terminal" instead of "gnome-terminal" after pressing alt-f2 ? [12:37] baz_: what do you mean "root" with a tab ? [12:37] Neaai: the annoying thing is that it worked in Hardy [12:37] gordonjcp: personally I know nearly nothing of it :| [12:37] but that's just what Ubuntu is like I suppose, full speed ahead with the shiny and never mind the regressions [12:38] Hello. I put my wireless settings in /etc/network/interfaces, but since I set up WPA DNS doesn't work (I can still connect to IP adresses) until I do iwconfig wlan1 essid Main key off && dhclient wlan1 as root. Can anybody help? [12:38] gordonjcp: What seems to be the problem? [12:38] tiyowan: in Hardy, using the compose key to type accented characters worked. In Gutsy, it does not work [12:38] neaai: i manually changed the firs line to 'root (hd1,0)' and i received the same error! I tried all combinations... what do u think of this: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/If_your_installed_Mint_cannot_boot [12:39] Is there a command that I can use to turn a monitor off from the console (without X)? [12:39] FreeFull: what do you get when you do: cat /etc/resolv.conf [12:39] hi, i have a problem with wine, when i try to launch a program in it, it is lagging ; so i would want to launch it through the terminal with 'nice -n 0' but when i try "wine myprogram.exe" the program opens and closes just after [12:39] gordonjcp: Hmm..compose key? [12:39] Neaai: domain domain.com and nameserver 192.168.0.1 [12:40] tiyowan: yes, compose key, the thing you press when you want to type accented characters, quite often Right Alt [12:40] neaai: it talks about the bios jumbling up the drives when different interfaces are used and to try using the uid - but when i tried that it said bad command or string or whatever as though i type jibberish [12:40] so how can i open a program with wine with the terminal ? [12:40] gordonjcp: Strange, AltGr works fine for me [12:41] gordonjcp: I don't know how to fix that. I would try the forums, but they're down for some maintenance. :( [12:41] ok. I have a question concerning editing the gtkrc-2.0 file that has been hurting my head for a while [12:41] tiyowan: the forums don't help, as I've already mentioned [12:41] tiyowan: it's set up exactly as the forums suggest [12:41] Neaai: any ideas? [12:41] baz_: that article is quite right in what it says. I'd say it's just a matter of properly listing what is labeled how so the loader finds it and loads it. [12:41] what style, and/or widgets do you use to change the drop down menu color? [12:41] FreeFull: is those what you want ? Are those entries correct ? [12:41] Bye all. :) [12:42] Neaai: Yes [12:42] it's very very annoying having to dual-boot just to use accented characters, but they work in Slackware so dual boot it is ;-) [12:42] Neaai: The router automatically redirects the requests to the dns server [12:42] FreeFull: does the 192.168.0.1 properly resolve ? Is there a name server in that system with that ip ? [12:43] gordonjcp: Accented characters work fine in intrepid for me. æße→“ðnøeéǽ [12:43] FreeFull: great, I'm not using Intrepid, I'm using Gutsy [12:43] Intrepid is too buggy [12:43] Neaai: 192.168.0.1 is the router [12:43] gordonjcp: i was about to praise the opposite :) [12:43] intrepid works surprisingly well on my new tablet [12:43] is there any parameters I can pass to the Install Ubuntu Server menu alternative at startup to change screen settings like update freq. and such? [12:43] only 2 or 3 things don't really work [12:43] gordonjcp: The only thing I don't like about Intrepid is NetworkManager [12:43] Winkie: Intrepid hasn't got usable audio support [12:43] gordonjcp: it works for me, but i don't deny there are problems [12:44] gordonjcp: I would help, but I really don't know how. [12:44] i should say, it works for me and i have a pretty offensively annoying chipset [12:44] neaai: so i tried putting the uid in menu.lst next to 'root' without quotes as the article mentions however the boot doesnt recognize that as an understandable address - its as though i typed 'xyzxyz' - is there a switch that i need to enable to define my drives using uid's rather than the 'hd' way? [12:44] Winkie: pulseaudio just runs around making a mess of things [12:44] but i set up my own pulse/default.pa [12:44] gordonjcp: honestly, it can work with a small amount of work [12:44] and there doesn't seem to be a way to not have pulseaudio at all [12:44] gordonjcp: i was sat on my bed last night watching a tv show over wifi while streaming music to my main computer through pulseaudio [12:44] yes, great, but I don't want pulseaudio [12:44] gordonjcp: stop it starting? [12:44] under any circumstances [12:44] gordonjcp: ALSA works for me [12:44] that seemed to work a while ago [12:44] hi, i have a problem with wine, when i try to launch a program in it, it is lagging ; so i would want to launch it through the terminal with 'nice -n 0' but when i try "wine myprogram.exe" the program opens and closes just after ; so how can i open a program with wine with the terminal ? [12:45] Winkie: doesn't work now, that's why I switched back to Gutsy [12:45] gordonjcp, ALSA isn't working [12:45] gordonjcp: fair enough, may I ask why you don't want pulseaudio? [12:45] is there a console equivalent of xset dpms force off? [12:45] baz_: root=UUID=xyzOFtheDiskHere that's how the loader knows it's to use a uuid tag to find the disk. [12:45] Winkie: because it gets in the way of jack [12:45] DefineByte: that is a console command? [12:45] sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn''t [12:45] gordonjcp: ah that's understandable, i have little experience with jack [12:45] '~apt-file search automount; autofs:/usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz'. Nautilus does not list /usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz. What is the reason? [12:45] baz_: but you have to know that it is indeed that the label of your disk. Each disk has a unique label. [12:46] Winkie: I mean something that doesn't require X [12:46] what application can i use to have the system monitors be on my desktop permanently/ [12:46] neaai: awesome i will try that [12:46] I'm using NVIDIA ALC [12:46] gordonjcp: set up a pulse default.pa so it does not clobber your alsa devices, get it to hook into JACK [12:46] Neaai: i observe something....music on ther sites work [12:46] DefineByte: ah, i'm not sure in that case! you could enumerate the ACPI tree but i wouldn't know for sure [12:46] neaai: my menu.lst doesn't use equals signs, should i put them in? [12:46] Neaai: vlc doesn´t hear anything [12:46] tavi----: sites ? [12:46] Winkie: tried that, but it's too slow going through pulseaudio [12:46] Neaai: web sites [12:46] Neaai: Any ideas why it doesn't work on boot? [12:46] Winkie: I want same-day service from my sound card [12:47] whit vlc i can´t hear movies sound [12:47] gordonjcp: I can't make any guarantees, but pulseaudio should not slow down your sound by any apprecible amount [12:47] gordonjcp: i don't know enough about jack or your setup to be able to help you though [12:47] Winkie: well it's got unacceptable latency, that's the thing [12:47] gordonjcp: Does it work with Slackware? [12:47] Winkie: I fear that would be beyond me. :( :) [12:47] FreeFull: I can't think of a solution. i've had cases where the wireless stuff would mess my resolv.conf file but for you, you said it's proper so idk. [12:47] The sound [12:47] my favorite thing in the world is how xp updates itself then nags me for eternity to reboot - u? [12:48] Neaai: It only happens with WPA [12:48] FreeFull: what, compose keys? Yes, it's just a PITA having to reboot into Slack when I want to type stuff up [12:48] baz_: the format is: root=(entry here). You need the = [12:48] DefineByte: i'll have a quick google for you [12:48] gordonjcp: No, the sound [12:48] FreeFull: haven't tried it, I haven't got the audio software installed in the Slackware partition [12:49] FreeFull: I'm out of ideas in that regard. [12:49] hey can i come in here and troll just like ppl do from here in #debian ? [12:49] Hello. I put my wireless settings in /etc/network/interfaces, but since I set up WPA DNS doesn't work (I can still connect to IP adresses) until I do iwconfig wlan1 essid Main key off && dhclient wlan1 as root. Can anybody help? [12:49] jetscreamer: no [12:49] tavi----: can you play mp3 music for example ? [12:49] aww [12:49] Winkie: thanks. I've found 'setterm -powersave powerdown' but that doesn't appear to work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding its purpose [12:49] hi all, can someone tell me how to get amarok into my notifications area, i have a little window on desktop instead .. [12:49] no [12:49] !coc | jetscreamer [12:49] i tried some music [12:49] jetscreamer: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [12:49] jetscreamer: Try trolling in ##politics [12:49] but don´t hear anything [12:50] tavi----: maybe the mixer, maybe the decoders. It's getting very vague from here. [12:50] DefineByte: ah, it doesn't turn your monitor off? [12:50] oh well, thanks anyway [12:50] Neaai: so none can say better? [12:51] Winkie: Unfortuately not. [12:51] tavi----: your system is 32bit or 64 ? [12:51] DefineByte: Does it turn the computer off? [12:51] aaa [12:52] itś a core2 duo [12:52] FreeFull: I get an error message when it's run: 'cannot (un)set powersave mode' [12:52] DefineByte: are you running it as root / would the -blank option suffice? [12:52] how i see what i have in pc? [12:52] DefineByte: Did you try running it as root? [12:52] tavi----: you mention vlc all right. But what about totem. Does that play sound ? [12:53] tavi----: cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:53] Winkie, Freefull: root makes no difference. Blanking isn't really what I'm after. [12:53] Neaai: totem can´t play movies so i abandon him [12:53] and i installed vlc [12:53] tavi----: but sound? does it work there ? [12:54] DefineByte: i'm afraid i don't know of any other option really, sorry [12:54] hi all. In an xterm I can type alt+i to get an é, alt+m to get an í, etc. Is there any possible way to do so in a gnome-terminal? [12:54] gnome-terminal is so nice, but I can't figure out this .. the "Terminal - Encoding" has no effect towards this. The disabling of alt for menu shortcuts in "Edit - Keyboard shortcuts.." neither ... [12:54] tavi----: you have installed all the correct gstreamer packages? [12:55] Winkie: Is it the right command to use? If so I guess I'll just have to see what's going wrong. [12:55] Neaai: i didn´t try [12:55] leafw: hold down shift + ctrl, type u then the hex values i think [12:55] hspaans: what? [12:55] I was able to fix my video corruption by setting fb=false in the boot options [12:55] DefineByte: it looks to be, i must say i've never really bothered, all my servers have no monitors :p [12:55] leafw: 晦 [12:55] for example [12:56] Winkie: Heh. Mine's not a server, just a very low powered desktop. :D [12:56] tavi----: gstreamer does the decoding for audio/video, not totem [12:56] Winkie: thanks, that works, but is terribly difficult to type [12:56] gein: I'd think framebuffers have meaning in text consoles. under X they're irrelevant. [12:56] DefineByte: that's gotta be pretty low power if you're limited to terminal only :o [12:57] leafw: i think there are shortcuts to most accented characters, but this is the generic unicode input [12:57] tavi---- tried amarok [12:57] Neaai: I'm installing ubuntu server so it might make sense === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [12:57] Winkie: Well, it's not \that\ low powered but I'm just trying to eek out everyting I can. It's an AMD Geode LX. [12:57] what? [12:57] i didn´t read last post [12:58] Winkie: in an xterm, alt+`=à alt+i=é, alt+m=í, ... it's easy [12:58] DefineByte: i see, you'd be surprised how little load an X session with fluxbox adds, but it does very much depend on what you're doing [12:58] tavi----: gstreamer provides the decoders. Think of them as a bunch of .dll files in windows. [12:58] aha [12:58] so whatś the problem whit them [12:58] ? [12:58] tavi----: you might not have them installed yet. [12:58] hi, when i play videos (mkv) on vlc, i get flickering videos [12:59] onats: Using an ATI card are you? [12:59] tiyowan, yup [12:59] Winkie: Thanks. I may well try X at some point but at the moment the terminal seems to be offering everything I need (apart from turning the monitor off!). :) [12:59] tiyowan, known issue? [12:59] onats: That's a known bug. Can't do anything about it. [13:00] :( [13:00] onats: Type "metacity --replace" to view videos properly. [13:00] * hspaans has an ATI and I see no flickering === izibi_ is now known as izibi [13:00] FreeFull: thanks as well. :) [13:00] tiyowan, what does that do? [13:00] onats: you could check how mplayer behaves with those files. [13:00] hspaans: Which card/drivers/ubuntu version? [13:00] is it possible to enable two-finger scrolling on synaptics touchpads? [13:00] DefineByte: sorry i couldn't help! [13:00] Winkie: A+ for effort. :D [13:01] Neaai: after a search on the internet i found something related to the problem [13:01] DefineByte: i don't know enough about low level APM/ACPI :( [13:01] Hi all. I have problem with connecting to a remote Windows XP station where I have root account. I do it with Nautilus 2.22.5.1. It shows an empty screen and doesn't ask me forlogin. I tried to enter address manually like smb://Administrator@192.168.0.2 - but this doesn't help, it continues to display empty screen. Any ideas? [13:01] let me show you a website whit the problem similar [13:01] onats: It's a problem with ATI and Compiz. If you want a GUI way to do it. Install the Compiz Fusion icon. Then you can switch between metacity and compiz from your system tray. [13:01] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/54630 === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [13:02] rdz: it usually is yes, it's an option in your xorg config but I can't remember it right now [13:02] tiyowan: X300, the one from X.org, Linux/BSD/Solaris [13:02] neaai: like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/89189/ [13:02] rdz: something like Option "TwoFingerScroll" 1 [13:02] Winkie: Nevermind. Thanks again. bye. :) === sean is now known as Guest87511 [13:02] rdz: i know it's on the forums somewhere :o [13:02] tiyowan, ok thanks for the tip [13:02] Winkie, thanks a lot.... it's good to know, that someone has already got it working [13:03] rdz: it's driver supported as far as i know, just there are not any amazing GUIs for this sort of thing yet :) [13:03] hspaans: Really? I'm running X1400, proprietary drives (flxgr), and intrepid. And I get flickering. [13:04] Winkie, ah ok... i just tried gsynaptics and it doesn't provide any options for two-finger stuff... so i was disappointed by thinkoing, that it may not be possible at all... [13:04] tiyowan: welcome to proprietary drivers [13:04] hspaans: What distro are you using? [13:04] Winkie,i check the forums again,as soon as they are back online [13:04] hspaans: Heh. Yes. [13:05] tiyowan: Debian/Ubuntu/FreeBSD/Solaris/OpenSolaris [13:05] baz_: let me check [13:06] baz_: grub find earlier was hd1,0 ? [13:06] rdz: no problem [13:06] hspaans: Thanks for the info. [13:06] i don't suppose anyone knows how to control compiz through dbus do they? I'm trying to zoom out a window remotely :) [13:06] to be honest i don't know because i played around with that value while reading the forums [13:06] Hi all. I have problem with connecting to a remote Windows XP station where I have root account. I do it with Nautilus 2.22.5.1. It shows an empty screen and doesn't ask me forlogin. I tried to enter address manually like smb://Administrator@192.168.0.2 - but this doesn't help, it continues to display empty screen. Any ideas? [13:07] baz_: lol. I told you to write it in a piece of paper :p [13:07] oh the one to write yes [13:07] what does gnome use to suspend a computer? it does not suspend my computer and i'd like to play with it. it's not uswsusp. [13:07] baz_: ok [13:07] neaai: i thought u meant when i first installed [13:08] baz_: how have you partitioned that disk ? [13:08] tiyowan: most of the time the Xorg driver is sufficient unless you want 3 frames/sec more to display your terminal [13:08] moin moin xD [13:08] baz_: I'm asuming the section "complete file" is the relevant entries you have now, or not ? [13:09] neaai: in gparted it shows: /dev/sdb1 (ex3, boot flag), /dev/sdb2 (extended), /dev/sdb5 (swap), /dev/sdb6 (ext3), /dev/sdb7 (ext3) [13:10] hey all [13:10] anyone with advice, i'm just getting into ubuntu 8.10 [13:10] neaai: ya the top part is the relevant but in ase u wanted to see the whole file i put it in there [13:10] baz_: what do you mount where ? [13:10] hi, can anyone try to ping sk.archive.ubuntu.com if it is down, or it's my network problem [13:11] hi. i need help with ubuntu [13:11] neaai: i'm in live cd so it mounts it wierd to: /media/disk-1, media/disk-2, /media/disk (strangely my last parition has the cleanest name) [13:11] neaaai: the boot one is /media/disk-1 [13:12] plz, can someone please help me! [13:12] neaai: i know what u mean, i have /, swap, /home, /data [13:12] fikel, what're you trying to do? no promises here [13:12] !ask | fikel [13:12] fikel: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:12] aha [13:12] help [13:12] baz_: you have separate partitions for ... ah. And /boot ? [13:12] yay [13:12] how I can I download a website completely using a different user agent? wger -rU "LinkChecker" http://www.thatsite.com ? [13:12] neaai: no boot [13:12] how can I make xchat open urls I click on I get - There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location. [13:12] neaai: i heard no need for that these days??? [13:12] kane77 fire fox does not find that URL [13:13] baz_: so your / is what has the bootable flag ? [13:13] neaai: yes [13:13] Is dare any oder place i can get help with ubuntu? (not forums [13:13] jtisme, I'm not sure if there should be webpage there, for me if I try to ping it it times out [13:13] ubuntu 8.10: i've installed a few games to entertain but many seem to not run. they just black the screen for a split second then nothing happens. is it me, the games, or something else entirely/ [13:13] I'm trying to install Moblock, but I can't connect to tbg.iblocklist.com or www.bluetack.co.uk .. is there any reason why I can't ping these sites or the moblock config can't download the blocklists? [13:14] neaai: looking at the file again it seems i may have screwed up... maybe i am supposed to leave the (hd1,0) and replace 'root=/dev/sdc1'? [13:14] if anyone on skype tell me ur name and il help [13:14] baz_: to make sure, the grub find command that generated hd1,0 was when you booted the system with the intended external disk, correct ? [13:14] kane77, not sure but ff does not find it [13:14] neaai: yes [13:14] the games were from synaptic [13:14] baz_: that's what I was thinking. those /dev/sdc1 should be /dev/sdb1 [13:14] kane77, dig finds a dns address but ff no find [13:14] orange_tang: Opengl applications require graphics drivers to be installed correctly to work right [13:14] neaai: and it translates well even now right since hd1,0 = sdb1 [13:15] soreau: is there a way to check on that? [13:15] jtisme, looking at for instance us.archive.ubuntu.com there should be file listing.. [13:15] neaai: so forget the uuid thing one more time? [13:15] orange_tang: 'glxinfo|grep direct' might give a hint [13:15] soreau: i had issues with monitor resolution loading too [13:15] orange_tang: What card have you got? [13:15] neaai: maybe try it as a last resort after this [13:15] baz_: lines 179, 185, 190 and 195 stay as are. [13:15] ok seriously. where is the source that determines what usplash theme you use? [13:15] soreau: ... terminal, right? not so hot at that yet [13:16] because i have been copying and pasting and It still shows the damn orange one [13:16] tiyowan: no idea. just set this system up [13:16] tiyowan, where can i switch between compiz and metacity in the compizconfig manager? [13:16] '~apt-file search automount; autofs:/usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz'. Nautilus does not list /usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz. What is the reason? [13:17] baz_: and that's the only format those lines should be, no "=" signs. The equal sign applies to the other entries on the next lines, the kernel lines. [13:17] '~apt-file search automount; autofs:/usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz'. Nautilus listet /usr/share/man/man8/automount.8.gz nicht auf. Ursache? [13:17] soreau: i copy pasted that to terminal, and got one error, and several "could not find"'s [13:17] onats: You can't do it from there, frinend. Go to Applications -> Add/Remove Programs and install the Compiz Fusion icon. Then you should be able to switch from your system tray. [13:17] hi, Quick Question: I installed a new 600GB harddisk and partioned it using GParted to ext3 (and NTFS) and there is gap in free space. Gparted says the ext3 has 302.11GB unused, but Ubuntu only says there are 282,6GB free. The NTFS partition is fine (equal numbers) why the gap? [13:18] does anyone know when the ubuntu forums will be back up? [13:18] baz_: also, during all these tries, use the same usb port. [13:18] orange_tang: Without the tick marks? [13:18] AidanPryde: By default some of ext3 partitions is reserved for a single user [13:18] tiyowan, ok thanks [13:18] If you need help on Ubuntu, chat to this skype name, the.ubuntu.help.line [13:18] AidanPryde: I'd go with GParted's numbers. [13:19] a single user? [13:19] neaai: alright, i am trying it - and u said to change /dev/sdc1 to /dev/sdb1 right? [13:19] how can I free that space? There won't be a system installed to that partition [13:19] baz_: that's what it seems from there, yea [13:19] soreau: yes, if you mean what i think you mean [13:19] soreau: little semi-quotes [13:19] yes [13:20] xeroz: Says two hours. [13:20] UBUNTU HELP ON SKYPE! contact the.ubuntu.help.line on Skype by chat [13:20] AidanPryde, the single user root, you dont free it it is part of the ext3 partition [13:20] orange_tang: What does 'lspci|grep VGA' say? [13:20] orange_tang: got reminded of Zaphod Beeblebrox whith those "i think you think you know what I think" :D [13:20] soreau: hey that's useful and cool!@ [13:21] neaai: hmm Error 11: unrecognized device string - looking it up - maybe no brackets around hd1, 0? [13:21] neaai: love that! it's been one of those days, too [13:21] Can anyone else ping iblocklist.com ? For some reason I can view their site in firefox, but can't ping it or download the blocklists with the moblock config. [13:21] kthxbye to everyone :) [13:21] orange_tang: hehe. I have the book in hardcover too, appart from the movie [13:21] soreau: i suppose i can't copy/paste from terminal, can i? [13:21] soreau: nm, 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) [13:22] FearMoth: No-go on the ping. [13:22] orange_tang: Now go to Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers. Does it show an available driver installed? [13:22] soreau: i blame my father for handing me this, the last one was worse. i learned how to replace a bios battery though [13:22] lol [13:22] baz_: could be yes. get rid of lines similar to what you have in the paste line 30. [13:22] tiyowan: thanks, at least i know it's not me now [13:23] soreau: it says nothing proprietary is installed. [13:23] FearMoth: np [13:23] soreau: took a while to figure out that was the problem, though! [13:23] hmm [13:24] neaai: very strange but my changes didn't refresh into the boot loader when i am sure i saved - regardless i manually edited the boot by pressinng 'e' with the changes we made and now i am getting the same error 17 [13:24] neaai: i used to have the hardcover, fake-bible looking copy, but it got stolen. Twice. Sheesh. borrow, sure, steal?? [13:24] Riva TNT2....that's a pretty old card, isn't it? [13:24] neaai: i am going to try the uuid [13:24] seems like you are busier than normal, with the forums down. that's gotta suck a little [13:25] It's actually a bit slower than usual [13:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/ isn't down [13:25] soreau: really? wow [13:25] Today's a quiet day. [13:26] baz_: that's odd. root (hd1,0) should go with: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splas [13:26] does someone know very goog vlc ??????????????? [13:26] orange_tang: I don't know about that card to be honest. [13:26] ardchoille: oh. I was having issues earlier getting the site to load. prob just me, though. [13:26] ATI radeon 9200SE has 128MB ram, ubuntu only detect 16MB, how to fix it ? [13:26] soreau: hmm. nvidia in general? [13:26] spash* [13:26] orange_tang: No, that particular model [13:26] splash* (d'uhh) [13:26] orange_tang: was it black? the cover ? [13:26] ardchoille's right. Forums are up. [13:27] orange_tang: and if 'glxinfo' is giving error messages, that's not good necessarily [13:27] neaai: yes, with gold edging [13:27] orange_tang: lol. Exactly [13:27] orange_tang: Usually, you would install graphics drivers but looking at nvidia.com, I don't see anything 'TNT' listed [13:27] soreau: oh please don't give me the bad news! [13:27] soreau: :( [13:28] Maybe someone else knows more, I'm an ATI guy ;) [13:28] Hi everyone, I have a question. =] [13:28] what is the dpkg command to reconfigure grub? [13:28] soreau: i'm a "free" kinda guy. broke college students often are [13:28] xiamx: What makes you think it's only detecting 16MB? [13:29] soreau: Maybe envy? [13:29] Ugh. No. [13:29] neaai: uuid didn't work either :( what was the string you told me to "find" to get hd1? [13:29] I wouldn't suggest envy personally [13:29] soreau: i googled it, and i got a forums question that has gone unanswered for a while. i may just be screwed [13:29] soreau: sudo hwinfo [13:29] baz_: at the grub prompt, press "c" and then: find /boot/grub/stage1 [13:29] I am about to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and I've already made an (admittadly small) partition, but It's big enough, I was wondering if you can install Ubuntu on to a partition, or do you have to make one during the instillation? [13:29] orange_tang: Oh, yes google is a good place to start reading [13:30] neaai: it changed!!! what does that mean [13:30] LifeOfTheSpectru: You can install onto a partition. [13:30] soreau: my google-fu astounds many. not the least of which is myself, at times. [13:30] neaai: i didnt change usb ports [13:30] soreau: ya know, like kung-fu? :) [13:30] Ok, thanks! Is there anything I should know before I start? [13:30] neaai: now its hd0,0 [13:30] xiamx: What is the problem you're having exactly? [13:31] !hcl | LifeOfTheSpectru <- Check to see whether your hardware is compatible. [13:31] LifeOfTheSpectru <- Check to see whether your hardware is compatible.: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:31] soreau: thanks for the help anyway, man [13:31] xiamx: My ATI card has 128MB videoram, but ubuntu only recognize 16MB [13:31] soreau: and the lesson in terminal usage being awesome. [13:31] baz_: pff. the bios messes up the numbering for some reasons. I've seen people mention things about some sata related settigns, legacy or not-legacy and whatnot. I can't be sure. [13:32] !hcl | LifeOfTheSpectru <- Check to see whether your hardware is compatible. [13:32] orange_tang: You need to get the nvidia drivers for that card. Old card that one. [13:32] I have the minimum specs I know (I saw the table on Wikipedia xD,) so I'll go install it, and I'll be back on Ubuntu! With me luck! [13:32] xiamx: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's going on, or pastebin that file so we can look at it [13:32] neaai: i am in for the first time now!! thank you [13:32] orange_tang: You'll need to install manually install the drivers, plus possibly do some x.org conf. Google's your friend. [13:32] tiyowan: free happens like that. do they exist free? that's all i'm really worried about [13:33] neaai: so should i just run that command everytime i boot because i have a retarded bios? [13:33] baz_: you're welcome. yours is just an issue of proper sequence numbering. You solve that, you're good to go for any other times. [13:33] tiyowan: On nvidia.com, where do you get drivers for tnt cards? [13:33] tiyowan: i mean, the drivers = free? [13:33] anyone resolved this error? "ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: ffm_nopts" [13:33] soreau: ok [13:33] soerau, orange_tang: Hang on...lemme check. [13:34] orange_tang: Yes the drivers are free even though nvidia drivers are proprietary [13:34] They are 'free', but not open source [13:34] tiyowan: we already did some fiddling with xorg (i think it was that?) they ended up copy-pasting meppis' video something to this one, because meppis did better, but i hate kde with a passion. [13:34] soreau: while FOSS=awesome, free = pretty darn close [13:34] baz_: that's the long and painish way, but it's still better than having nothing. See to learn about your bios more if you can and what can be done do have persistent (or so to call them) sequence numbers across reboots. [13:35] heh [13:35] I have a 28" viewsonic screen running at 1920x1200, and an nvidia 9800GT - all runs fine. Vista needed the latest nvidia driver to support this monitor [13:35] When I enable restricted drivers, two things happen [13:35] what does autoremove and autoclean do [13:35] ? [13:35] the gamma gets knocked out, and the screen is very dark [13:35] the second thing is the same as what happened on vista, the screen is zoomed... it gets the right reslution but dirplsyas it nicorewnt [13:36] soreau: if i could, i'd even try rockbox or otherwise fiddling with my (ill-conceived) purchase of a iPod. but, it's the first nano they put firmware DRM (or something like that) on, so no-go [13:36] hey. i got a simple-ish compiz issue. if i put compiz in my gnome sessions list, it does not run on startup, instead putting all my windows without management or decoration. but then, if i run it from an xterm, everything runs fine. am i missing something that's happening as a gnome session launcher? [13:36] soreau: This is confusing; all it says here is to install the nividia legacy drivers. :( [13:36] Then maybe that's what he needs [13:36] tiyowan: legacy? [13:36] Ah yes, I see tnt now [13:37] orange_tang: Go to nvidia.com and select Driver Downloads [13:37] soreau: shhhh don't tell i'm a she. [13:37] soreau: Yep. [13:37] * Neaai overheared that [13:37] that was meant to say 'but it displays it incorrectly [13:38] anyone also bitten by bug #309851 ? (linux restricted modules 2.6.27-11 package missing) [13:38] orange_tang: Ok, I wont tell. Then select Legacy from the drop down list and then select your tnt card from the list and your architecture, ie. Linux 32 if you have a 32 bit machine [13:38] not only has the manufacturer *(*$($ up a keyboard I used to buy, and made it spongy (same model, now spongy and unusable) but this nvidia thing is nanoying [13:38] * delcoyote hi [13:39] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89203/ it's using radeon driver (I think it's the opensource one), should I install manufecture's driver? [13:39] no [13:39] are the alternate cd's bootable? [13:39] sdlwof: yes [13:39] soreau: is there a good place to get a quick rundown of IRC code? anything like MUDs or WOW or whatever? [13:39] Why is ubuntu showing a google custom search? [13:40] orange_tang: no idea [13:40] soreau: just curious. [13:40] Neaai, any reason it won't boot,but a normal desktop cd will boot? [13:40] that is completely broken, why would one OS have a different google? how pointless is that - is it a money thing? (I realise it is a default) [13:40] thus can be changed [13:40] dev12341234, Yeah. It's a money thing. ;) [13:40] I thought they had money from the agreement anyway, why make it a custom search? [13:41] it is ugly as hell and feels stupid [13:41] it doesn't LOOK like google [13:41] soreau: not used to installing files outside of apt-get... download, sh **file** and then it says something about xorg... ? [13:41] sdlwof: I can't think of any. If not related to maybe the disk was not correctly written/burned. [13:41] does anyone know how to stream a v4l webcam with vlc? [13:41] dev12341234: Um...you can change it? [13:41] md5sums match [13:42] dev12341234 -- You can change it. [13:42] tiyowan, Um... you can read what I said about knowing it was a default and, Um... being able to change it? [13:42] Um... << you are useful in this world [13:42] hi can anyone assist with root log in please ? [13:42] i need to apply a patch in a www file [13:42] sdlwof: I've had a hell of a time with a disk I burned in my pc, and that wouldn't boot my pc. But it would boot any other comp. [13:42] JessicaParker: begin yout command with sudo [13:42] but am in this location [13:42] root@abc-laptop:/home/abc# [13:42] dev12341234: Right. [13:42] white-sheep, spectacular deduction. What helped you? The part where I said 'obviously' previously, or your immense intellect. Now, since the argument isn't about whether you can change it, why would that even enter into the conversation? [13:42] man ,wtf....i need an alternate, don't think a normal disc will install with 128mb... [13:43] i cant get to the www or var files using this ? [13:43] xiamx: (II) RADEON(0): Detected total video RAM=131072K, accessible=262144K (PCI BAR=262144K) [13:43] my point is - 'users' will get disconcerted - it looks too different from google, and they might not realise why [13:43] any ideas of commands thatnks [13:43] dev12341234 -- Don't cry over a spilled milk. [13:43] xiamx: (--) RADEON(0): Mapped VideoRAM: 131072 kByte (64 bit DDR SDRAM) [13:43] sdlwof: well if you have one you could try it. If it fails, it will do so since the beginning stages of the installation. [13:43] xiamx: So it is not ubuntu but hwinfo that is detecting incorrectly [13:43] white-sheep, no I am crying over my 28" monitor having some issue with nvidia card and taking resolution but 'zooming' it [13:44] soreau: ok got it thanks [13:44] xiamx: This is why I ask you, what are you ultimately trying to do [13:44] On Vista (yeah it came with it, I wanted to grab a computer quick, go figure) I updated the nvidia driver it fixed the issue - BUT VISTA had the exact same issue [13:45] You can see the middle 85% of the screen, zoomed, and the mouse goes off all 4 edges [13:45] hey i really need some assistance with root log in if someone can help thanks [13:45] dev12341234 -- I'm only here for social // to help people if I can -- Check your resolution -- Is it same resolution as you expected it would be for your said monitor? [13:45] white-sheep, and the issue isn't me whining about the custom search, it is just a direct criticism with reasoning, I don't care either way, but it will annoy users [13:45] dev12341234: I've seen that happen too. The screen would be as it should only with one certain resolution and that was it. [13:45] white-sheep, no everything is ok, as I said [13:46] dev12341234 -- Good. ;) [13:46] it takes the resolution, and works - in fact, takes all resolutions - same thing happened with vista - sets resolution, but image is displayed 110% too big, zoomed from center [13:46] upgrading driver on vista helped - googling doesn't [13:47] orange_tang: Now that I think about it, the nvidia legacy drivers might be installable from ubuntu repos, not sure though it wont hurt to install from nvidia.com, but yes, just sh NVIDIA installer yada yada and make sure the Driver in the Device section of xorg.conf is set to "nvidia" before restarting X [13:47] dev12341234: most probably is a driver issue then. [13:47] hello, i need help about the sound on ubuntu 8.04 [13:47] Ubuntu 8.10 installed nvidia drivers and after reboot my monitor turns off, can youone help me assess the problem? [13:47] moza: have you checked the mixer settings ? [13:47] soreau: ok i may need some help in a few minutes with xorg, but let's see how far i get first === benovi1 is now known as Benovic [13:48] hello [13:48] Neaai, i don't know how to check the mixer settings, how should they look like and where can i find them? [13:48] a lot of hosts are flooding me with udp ports 7171... any ideas? [13:48] Hi, I'm unable to connect to a network via wireless and don't know how to troubleshoot it. Does anyone have any ideas?

It keeps saying package not found [14:26] sudo apt-get install envying-gtk [14:26] envyng-gtk [14:26] i am in serious problem,when i used to login to ubuntu 8.04, they asked me to change the premission of some /home/m/.xxxx file to 644, but i did a "chmod -R 644 ." , that changed the entire contents of m user to 644, i restarted and then it entered a terminal mode, i again did a "chmod -R 744 ." to the same folder. Now ubuntu does not even start, and i get several failed processes at the start up. I put in a 8.04 cd and there is no rescue system in it. [14:28] LynggaardDk: you shouldn't mix the two arch's i do not think that set up is supported [14:28] hi [14:28] any help will be appreciated. [14:29] any idea why 'gksu synaptic' would sleep for 3-5 seconds and then just return with $?==0 but never display a prompt or synaptic? [14:29] erusul: don't cross the streams? [14:29] erusul: oh wait, that's ghostbusters. nm. [14:29] http://1t2.us/298959 is the debug output [14:29] LynggaardDk: If you have to use 32bit and 64bit, recommend you use a chroot'ed env - take a look at debootstrap... dpkg and apt do not support multiarch [14:30] anyone there to help on a broken system ? [14:30] madduck: use gksudo instead [14:30] erUSUL: why not, is that not what ia32-libs is for... namely running the 32bit and 64bit mixing... without all the chroot stuff [14:30] fde: i can't really, since the 8.10 System->Administration menu uses gksu it seems. [14:30] hi ... is there an application i can use to sort my music ... i have like 300 gigs of music and have so many duplicates that i wanna remove ... is there a software that does this ? [14:30] also, that's not really the solution I want. :) [14:31] LynggaardDk: no... ia32-libs is a bandaid over the lack of multiarch support in dpkg/apt... if there was real support, those packages wouldn't be necessary [14:31] LynggaardDk: yes you can rn 32 bit binaries on 64 bit ubuntu but i do not think apt/dpkg can manage packages from two different arches [14:31] madduck: no it doesn't, it uses gksudo [14:31] fde: same problem with gksudo [14:31] erUSUL: why not ??? i mean why still not ? [14:32] LynggaardDk: i do not know the technical reasons; sorry [14:32] LynggaardDk: Because Debian guys decided not to support it until after Lenny is released, and they've been trying to release Lenny for about 2 years now [14:32] ciao raga io ho un problema...c e qualcuno k mi puo aiutare??

[14:47] #openmoko-debian [14:47] Knoobie -- Ubuntu don't need Anti-virus. ;) [14:47] Doesn't it? [14:47] ubuntu is great but help isn't [14:48] LynggaardDk: They want to do it after Lenny... which is likely to be released in the next couple months... so there might be the starts of it in 9.10... Debian tends to have higher technical standards though than most distros, so there is no time frame... just "when its ready" [14:48] Ok then, what about an Anti-Spyware? [14:48]  i have a broken system 8.04, is it possible to get the backup of updates and packages of the installed packages ? [14:48] Knoobie: don't need it really [14:48] !av [14:48] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [14:49] LynggaardDk: In Ubuntu, not even main needs to be free of release critical bugs - its a time based release... in Debian, there has to be no release critical bugs in any of the 25,000 packages in their repo [14:49]  i have a broken system 8.04, is it possible to get the backup of updates and packages of the installed packages ?

[14:51] Knoobie: don't need it really [14:51] i changed my nickname so i wouldnt be blocked again [14:51] Knoobie: spyware isn't an issue on Linux [14:51] from fikel to fikelfilel [14:51] fde: Debian might have that, but their release planning and scoping of features still hurts the progress as the schedule drags out for many year.. from what I have learned today, 64bit is a nogo unless you only have 1 max 2 apps... otherwise you need to do chroot and such, because the ia32-libs approach is a dud [14:51] <_cb> Which is a good programming tool for Ubuntu? Preferably with a good IDE and that can connect to the Firebird database? [14:51] Really? [14:51] can i make a persistent lice USB stick shile using the CD to boot and a USB stick for the home-rw and casper-rw partitions? (its an old stick, only 1GB) [14:51] Ok, and a firewall, I KNOW I need that. [14:51] fikelfikel, yeah we noticed. [14:51] fikelfikel: evading a ban can cause your ip to be banned perm [14:51]  i have a broken system 8.04, is it possible to get the backup of updates and packages of the installed packages ? [14:52] now, plz help [14:52] LynggaardDk: pretty much correct... yes [14:52] !patience | fikelfikel [14:52] fikelfikel: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:52] fikelfikel, ask a question [14:52] Does anyone have any suggestions for Firewalls? [14:52] !firewall | Knoobie [14:52] Knoobie: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [14:52] Knoobie -- If you really need a firewall -- Then firestarter will be my best bet. [14:52] Knoobie: firestarter is great [14:52] why do i have to log in to connect to a wireless network? [14:53] Knoobie: yup firestarter is a good one [14:53] Ok, I'll try that, thanks! I like Ubuntu already! [14:53] Oh, 1 more thing, is Flock compatible? [14:53] well, what happened was, i tried installing updates, and it said do a partial upgrade. When dat happened it said reading the cache and then closed. cant install updates. [14:53] white-sheep: I'm not entirely sure.... you purged it, which causes issues... you can try enabling the partner repo in System > Administration > Software Sources "3rd Party repos" ... and installing adobe-flashplugin ... other than that, idk [14:54] i tried installing updates, and it said do a partial upgrade.

[14:56] white-sheep: just install it [14:56] fde -- This is the message I received upon the purge. >_> [14:56] Knoobie: Linux doesn't usually care about file extensions, what you are asking about is called a "binary" [14:56] thanks for solution [14:57] linux =transparency [14:57] Knoobie: Unix doesn't use extensions at all... it uses MIME types... basically, binaries go into /usr/bin /usr/sbin /bin and /sbin ... where your path can find them... file /bin/ls for instance to see this data [14:57] why won't ubuntu connect on a wifi network on boot? [14:57] Right. Ok, sorry for all the questions, this is my first time majorly using any Linux. =] [14:57] Knoobie: No problem, we were all at that point at one time :) [14:58] Knoobie: in saying that, some applications still like to go by extension... but that's generally just for pictures and stuff [14:58] to find out what type a file is use the "file" command [14:58] Knoobie: if you want an great e-book on ubuntu goto scribd dot com [14:58] white-sheep: I didn't say purge anything... gdi... just enable partners and install adobe-flashplugin [14:58] i will be patient now [14:58] Hi guys [14:58] !wifi > Stavros [14:58] Stavros, please see my private message [14:58] hi jorge__ [14:58] hi jorge__ [14:59] Knoobie: Here's a good starting point for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation [14:59] Is there a simple guide on getting a minimal 32bit chroot on a 64bit ubuntu 8.10... the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot only goes to feisty at least for the downloads [14:59] Hi!

[15:16] What do I need autofs for? My Ubuntu 8.04.1 moutnts automatically even though autofs is not installed. [15:17] PyChild, what is your problem? I might be able to fix it [15:17] hi all [15:17] _Marko, what program? [15:17] hi fsancho! [15:17] Ok, update is going to take forever. I really, really confused xD. [15:17] 6h 45m remaining. [15:17] <_Marko> I installed PHP using make, make install. I want to reinstall it using .deb [15:18] <_Marko> Do you have a solution ? [15:18] I did the Mirror thing.

[15:19] i have an extrange problem wit a toshiba satellite pro L300, i have installed Intrepid, and all seem to work ok. My problem is that after shutdow, the laptop boots again unexpectedly after a few minutes [15:19] <_Marko> u do :D [15:19] can anyone tell me why my AR928X has so poor wifi quality with 8.10, even from close distance (2m) i get 70% quality and worst is that data transfer is slow for LAN http://paste.ubuntu.com/89258/ [15:19] _Marko, pretty smart bot, isn't he? [15:19] _Marko, type sudo apt-get install php [15:19] fsancho: What!? Your laptop starts up by itself? [15:19] <_Marko> hehe [15:19] fde, which is very odd given that it should be in texlive http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/xstring/ [15:19] This is annoying. I like Ubuntu, but I wish it would download as quick as Vista does. [15:20] anyone know plugin for firefox which allows you to play wmv file ?

[15:20] _Marko, use synaptics then [15:20] fsancho, sounds like it is haunted. I would send it back where it came from and perform a couple of rituals to make sure it does not come back. :) [15:20] Knoobie: Well...if you're going to measure the worth of an OS according to its download speed, then. [15:20] unconnect [15:20] It would only give me stupidly long estimated times in a torrent, this is doing it for everything, and downloading them just as slowly. [15:20] _Marko, why are affraid? [15:20] exit [15:21] Knoobie, it does download quick, but you need quick server and connection for that [15:21] Well I am trying to download something atm, so it would be nice if it would download so I could look at other things. [15:21] how can i list and modify the dns server list? [15:21] <_Marko> a conflict between the old version (from source) and the new one [15:21] <_Marko> IdleOne: a conflict between the old version (from source) and the new one [15:21] Knoobie: However, I doubt you'll understand this...but the Vista TCP/IP stack is horrible. [15:21] levidos, /etc/resolv.conf [15:21] IdleOne: i have heared the same problem with other units of the same model, it's something about linux because if i shutdown from windows, the laptop doesn't starts up by itself [15:21] 10q mahfiaz [15:22] fsancho: Could you give me the model again? I'll dig the forums.

[15:26] Hang on... Firestarter wouldn't be affect it, would it? [15:26] <_Marko> ssh -X [15:26] markjames: No problem. The atheros chipset cards will work in ubuntu, but you'll need to do some tweaking.

I'd go with metacity for a while and see whether the problem persists. If not, then that's compiz acting up for you. Which means a problem with your video card. And that could most probably fixed with some xorg.conf tweaking.

[17:18] hmm what is the extention on the vuze partial? [17:18] n8tuser2: I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. I've got a virtual user set up for pureftpd and when I connect to my pureftpd server I cannot log in with that user, it says authentication failed [17:18] DasEI: I can hear it but it is very quit so I tought that I could give it a boost [17:18] predator3631:i have bitttorrent, bittornado, deluge installed [17:19] predator3631: also have ktorrent [17:19] DasEI: can connect to 7.1 speakers.. but then I hear the noise of the crappy onboard realtek soundcard :P [17:19] N-A: sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log in a terminal window and try again, note the true error.

[17:19] N-A quoting you "pureadmin to try to add a user, but I can't login with that user after adding it, configuring it's home and so forth" meant you were adding a user, so you can test its environment by logging on via ssh. you still no comprendo ? [17:20] what's the difference between all of the different linux servers? more specifically ubuntu and fedora? [17:20] n8tuser2, actually it has made a massive change in boot time for no reason I can figure but it has done so, what do you think about "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" then, good or bad idea? not too sure what could be broken there, I haven't actually tried to click on option at login scrreen for a few weeks so there has been quite a few system updates since then [17:20] * dcordes throws gangsigns [17:20] MaT-dg: a sounblaster is cheap and does well, and though it's no hifi, onboard has s/n of least >65db, too so possible [17:21] i've grown to think all linuxes can do the same things just in a different fashion, so wouldn't the same rule apply to the servers? [17:21] evilbug: just mostly preference [17:21] hi [17:21] evilbug: essentially they all do the same thing, just in different ways. [17:21] sinbox-> if you claim that removing splash on the grub menu, thats should not have done what you just experienced. it must be something else [17:21] n8tuser2: But, the idea is that the user I add is not a *nix user, but a virtual user that only exists for pureftpd [17:21] n8tuser2: anyway gonna try that tail -f log thing [17:21] @evilbug: ubuntu is debian based and fedora is redhat based [17:22] leoluz- i know that, i was talking more about the way of operation, stability, etc. [17:22] N-A: try /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog also. and the pureftp site [17:22] leoluz: is redhat not debian based? i thought it was but i could be wrong lol [17:22] i'm now downloading kubuntu 8.10 dvd torrent with. it seems to me vuze is a bit slow. it was twice in transmission last time a downloaded linux mint. and in vuze i already downloaded 25% and so thinking of a possibility to transfer this partial download [17:22] ok n8tuser2 maybe I should just backup home and upgrade to 8.04 anyway, I think it's about time [17:22] n8tuser2: it says user unknown I think [17:22] evilbug, check out http://distrowatch.org - loads of distro reviews there [17:23] n8tuser2: for pam_unix_auth [17:23] predator3631: redhat has nothingto do with debian, fedora spun off redhat [17:23] evilbug, click the "major distributions" link [17:23] sinbox-> good luck with that, may i suggest a new fresh install instead of upgrade an existing install? saves you hair :P [17:23] n8tuser2: pam_unix_auth(pure-ftpd:auth): check pass; user unknown === nexus23 is now known as marcustr [17:23] archonis: so you can't open firefox ? [17:24] My 8.10 install fubar'd in a big way. Some how the etc/group file was gutted and had only 3 lines, so I booted to the Live CD and cp'd in the group file and that solved the errors see in this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-887591.html Now, I still have GDM that is broke, can someone assist in getting GDM repaired? === marcustr is now known as Jakob_the_liar [17:24] minus18_pundit: torrent speed is 99% based on your seed to peer (or leech) ration and not muchly on the program you use mostly the program are used fir the gui preference and some feature i woudlrecoment checking the file extension and if it is something like .part than try utorrent [17:24] icheyne- thanks.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:36] DasEI: it's not that it doesn't work, it's just extremely slow like vista and it hangs very often, but I think that 32bit wil do better, it's a pretty old machine.. (4years) [17:36] georgeaf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ too [17:36] maco: ah, but if i do an apt-cache search flash, i get nothing [17:36] mortal1: do you have multiverse enabled?

[17:37] Mba7eth: have to install the vbox extensionsin your vm [17:37] hackel: it does not exist? [17:37] maco: are there some wizards who knows about it ? [17:37] Pidgin question: is there any way to add to the main contact list a field to edit friendly name/status message without going in the menu, ala WLM/Adium/iChat/Kopete/every other IM on the planet? [17:37] N-A chowned to ftpuser and group that owns /srv/ftp am assuming the default home is /srv/ftp [17:37] MaT-dg: found x-fi driver, one prob less, cool , (oos least), yes 32 bit is less complicated [17:37] i pasted my prob but it was huge, that's why i don't want to paste it again [17:37] *oss [17:37] N-A chowned to ftpuser and group that owns /srv/ftp ? am assuming the default home is /srv/ftp [17:37] hackel: same problem here [17:37] icheyne: thanks I will look into all those, I have used audicity before for mastering (back in my MS days) so I may used that but I will look in to the other things you mentioned [17:37] nelson4070: maybe...but if this is a bug, not just a support request, i suggest #ubuntu-bugs [17:37] Koterpillar, heh, no it does not, but linux-restricted-modules-generic refers to it...everyone's going to have this headache until it's uploaded. [17:37] hackel: upgrade manager wont let you upgrade though [17:38] LtL, I LOVE YOU!! Thanks! :) [17:38] georgeaf why dont you start by saying what the trouble is in 10 words or less [17:38] n8tuser2: I don't understand that last bit about the group sorry, I chgrp'ed to ftpgroup [17:38] nelson4070: sudo chmod 770 /media/usb0 or wherever its mounted, might work. [17:38] n8tuser2: for the home dir for the virtual user, that is [17:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/89338/ [17:38] mbarriault: when you change your status on the window, it gives a little box to change the status message [17:38] ok, flash isn't listed in synaptic (amd64) and the adobe page offers me a 32 bit plugin [17:38] my prob is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/89338/ will anyone help me ? [17:38] maco: well this is not really a bug, there must be some config file somewhere, cause cdroms are mounted as 555, while usb drives as 700 [17:38] maco: what about friendly name? [17:39] mbarriault: what do you mean by friendly name? [17:39] maco: thanks [17:39] N-A did you run pure-pw mkdb to update the database ? [17:39] LtL: not working, as hal mounts drives as = [17:39] n8tuser2: Nope [17:39] maco: Like your display name in WLM [17:39] georgeaf, the idea is to solve problems here so others can contribute and benefit from it in the future, by searching the logs. [17:39] mbarriault: if you mean a name that your friends see instead of your screen-name, pidgin doesnt do that to begin with [17:39] n8tuser2: Should I do that now? [17:39] N-A yes [17:39] ive got a rather stupid question about tarballs if anybody can help out haha [17:39] n8tuser2: sudoed? [17:39] mbarriault: the alias in pidgin only changes how you're displayed on *your* machine === tomaw_ is now known as t|test [17:40] nelson4070: what is the exact path to the device, can you get a directory list from it? [17:40] N-A yes [17:40] ok then, [17:40] maco: Pidgin does do that, it's under the Accounts menu, I'm just wondering if somebody has made a plugin to add it to the GUI [17:40] hi everyone, i have a very strange and wierd prob, i download ubuntu 8.04 live desktop cd and burnt it to a dvd. It installed succesfully. After many days I decided to make a liveusb out of it so I downloaded liveusb according to instructions on a webpage and found that it freezes due to a persistence bug in initrd.gz. I downloaded and burnt the fixed one using the windows built-in burning prog and then the dvd was unbootable. I then extracted the origin [17:40] hi, i've made this command. It works, i can see the video after that. I've read it in vlc. Can i see it live ? when i record, is there an option to put the channel ? [17:40] mbarriault: no it doesn't. that thing in the accounts menu just changes how it's displayed on *your* machine. your friends still see your regular screen name. [17:40] n8tuser2: Still the same problem [17:40] N-A then restart pureftpd to reread the database [17:40] WTFAmIDoingWithY: what do you want to do extract it? [17:41] n8tuser2: OH, ok [17:41] mbarriault: that's why it says "Local alias" for that field [17:41] LtL: exact path? you mean before it is mounted? dunno how to get it, i'm a noob :) [17:41] georgeaf, just download it again, you shouldn't be mucking about with it so much. It sounds like there was some corruption along the way somewhere. Also, why not use 8.10? [17:41] oops, here's the command cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg [17:41] ops i forgot the mount command [17:41] mmk wow [17:41] well, what if I get it? [17:41] I did a apt-get update [17:41] hackel: i downloaded it looooong ago and just tried those stuff now [17:41] now i have like 200 availible updates [17:41] nelson4070: after its mounted, where is it? type ls -l /media/ [17:41] n8tuser2: Same deal :S [17:41] notice that i mentioned that it installed successfully [17:42] why ubuntu didn't do that after the install is beyond me [17:42] where can i find a quick rundown on basic terminal commands? google gives too many answers...for once [17:42] ho, it is mounted to /media/BATPLANE [17:42] georgeaf, yes, that's what I'm saying, download the latest one. [17:42] BATPLANE being the name of the drive (title) [17:42] hello [17:42] hackel: Turl: rebooting to that kernel... [17:42] maco: Accounts menu, selected my WLM account, there's an option for "Set friendly name" which is the display name in WLM-speak. That's not local. [17:42] when i give fdiks -l i get [17:42] don't ask why this name [17:42] Cannot open /dev/sda [17:42] Cannot open /dev/sdb [17:42] anybody knows why? [17:43] i gui i can access all of my partitions ok [17:43] i don't have a fast connection, just dialup :( [17:43] orange_tang: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html [17:43] nelson4070: try chmod 755 /media/BATPLANE use sudo chmod 755 etc if it refuses [17:43] jtaji: thanks! [17:43] why does gnome draw so slow? I'm running 64bit with 4G ram [17:43] N-A can you post the config files thats used? am looking for info such as PureDB AnonymousOnly CreateHomeDir [17:43] LtL: ho it works well, i did it with other drives [17:43] georgeaf: ahh, I see, sorry I take it for granted these days! It does sound like your image is corrupted, though, and you probably will need to get a new one somehow. [17:43] mbarriault: mbarriault oh, i thought you meant in the "add account" thing. i dont actually use msn because well...ive met 1 person in my entire life that did... [17:43] n8tuser2: puredb=/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb [17:44] i guess it takes a second to load the icon when i pull up the applications menu [17:44] can i backup my ubuuntu installation with all packages i have downloaded including hardware drivers? [17:44] LtL : my problem is that it is a usb drive, and the folder is created when the usb is mounted [17:44] mbarriault: ok thats interesting that it adds that as an option just in msn, but no i dont think theres any othr way to access that [17:44] n8tuser2: AnonOnly=yes, CreateHomeDir doesn't exist [17:44] LtL: so it is not a generic solution [17:44] n8tuser2: Sorry, anonymousonly doesn't exists either [17:44] maco: I know one person who uses AIM, and he's also on WLM. Trust me, I'd rather be using my MobileMe/AIM, but don't really have a choice. [17:45] n8tuser2: there's a file called NoAnonymous with the line: yes [17:45] N-A perhaps those need to be created, look in the pureftpd manual [17:45] LtL: my goal is to share via samba all of my server's usb drives. To do so, I shared the /media folder [17:45] hackel: ok thanks anyway [17:45] maco: And I just found out on #pidgin that plugins can't change the GUI in such a way by design. Thanks for the help anyway! [17:45] I'm running intrepid gnome, and I accidentally clicked "remove from panel" on my notifications area. Eg, my gmail notifier is gone, but the process is still running. Anyone know how to get it back? [17:45] hello.. what happened to wireless connectivity tool in ubuntu 8.10? [17:45] I can't seem to get this set of ip table commands to work http://pastie.org/343949 [17:45] alfa: i still have mine :/ [17:46] what application is it? [17:46] mbarriault: are those things actually used a lot? i always found it annoying when the one person i knew did that, because she'd set them to things that were twitter-length and take up half the window. always wanted a way to disable that in msn, then finally went with just not bothering to use msn at all [17:46] i dont have mine [17:46] h/o [17:46] h/o? [17:46] N-A CreateHomeDir is needed i believe, or else the virtual user has no home directory to dump files to [17:46] Thanatos: right click -> add to panel [17:46] LtL: as all usb shares are mounted in /media, but as they have a 700 rights, other users cannot access it via network [17:46] hold on haha [17:46] gota [17:46] can anyone help? [17:46] !ask | nik [17:46] nik: 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. :-) [17:47] sorry nik we're busy [17:47] nik: you need to use it with sudo... sudo fdisk -l [17:47] maco: Yeah, I find that annoying too (especially annoying when space is limited, like using the Messenger Kit on Xbox 360), but I always set it to something name-length, I just like to change it every so often. Just wondering if there was a more straightforward way than nested deep in a menu. [17:47] are there free xdmcp servers on te net? [17:47] alfa: im not 100% sure the name of the app, it came with 8.10. with mine, i plugged in my card and it popped up in the tray [17:47] minus18_pundit: you can do "dpkg --get-selections > packages.list" then copy that to the new machine. install dselect on there, do "dpkg --set-selections < packages.list" and run dselect. then choose the Install option, and it'll install everything you had before [17:47] N-A also look for PAMAuthentication settings [17:47] hm [17:47] not on mine [17:47] LtL: and as all of my usb drives have a different name, i need my drives to be directly mounted with different rights [17:47] network configuration tool is useless to configure wireless [17:47] i cant even see what wireless networks are available [17:47] LtL: i'm no sure i'm clear [17:48] do you have anything that came up in the tray when youre connected? like a signal strength meter? [17:48] LtL: mucked around, everything works great and i'm using 2.6.27-11 [17:48] nope [17:48] a1fa_-> am with you on that, i prefer command lines [17:48] alfanick: network-manager hasn't gone anywhere [17:48] nelson4070: try this # [17:48] Navigate to "System" > "Preferences" > "Removable Drives and Media" [17:48] maco: i dont see it [17:48] a1fa_, use wicd [17:48] a1fa_: um, its in the notification area, like it always is [17:48] not for me [17:49] a1fa_: do you not have a notification area? [17:49] i am assuming its the top bar in gnome [17:49] yes [17:49] Yeah, -11 boots, but no ethernet or wireless. waiting [17:49] a1fa_: on the panel, there should be a little network icon near that spot where the battery icon goes [17:49] nope [17:49] alfa... try this. system>administration>network tools [17:49] i got nothing [17:49] a1fa_: is the battery icon there? [17:49] WTFAmIDoingWithY: that doesnt exist anymore [17:49] Another issue. How does xrandr (or X?) determine screen size? Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024 [17:50] WTFAmIDoingWithY: network-admin is gone [17:50] a1fa_-> sudo network-admin & should launch a new one [17:50] n8tuser2: network-admin is gone [17:50] LtL: i can't see "Removable drives" [17:50] Koterpillar-> from xdpyinfo [17:50] its all in network-manager now [17:50] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/Movies/Torrents' [17:50] one sec [17:50] no launchy [17:50] LtL: any command line ? [17:50] maco-> gone from where? [17:50] a1fa_: because, as ive said twice, network-admin is gone [17:50] n8tuser2: not in 8.10 [17:51] hwop can i tell Deluge from command line(since it snot startin) to try to save torrents in /dev/sdb2 ? [17:51] why would it be gone [17:51] a1fa_: because network-manager does it all now [17:51] n8tuser2: what about that maximum of 1024x1024? [17:51] !who > a1fa [17:51] alfa: you can try going to a terminal and typing "iwconfig" and seeing if your device shows up [17:51] so install network-manager? [17:51] yeah it shows up [17:51] wlan1 [17:51] Koterpillar-> i dont know if it is supported, but i merely answer your question where it gets that info [17:51] same here [17:51] so install network-manager? [17:52] or network asdmin [17:52] a1fa_: do you have a battery icon in your panel? [17:52] yes [17:52] Ok, where is the maximum from? [17:52] nelson4070: try this: System->Administration->User and Groups, choose the user, click on "Properties", then go to the "User Privileges" tab. You should have the "Access external storage devices automatically" option checked. [17:52] a1fa_: network-manager is automatically installed [17:52] alfa: the app in my tray is "Network Manager Applet 0.7.0" [17:52] ok [17:52] it does not list wireless network [17:52] it should have came with your distro [17:52] i dont have that applet [17:52] Koterpillar-> look at the results of xdpyinfo see what max rez it tells you [17:52] anyone else getting linux-restricted-modules-generic is kept back? Even after a update and dist-upgrade? [17:53] a1fa_: hit alt+f2 and try running "nm-applet" [17:53] Does anyone know how to disable network detection at boot time? I can't get 8.10 to live boot -- the wired network adapter is defective, I think -- and the laptop BIOS does not allow me to disable the adapter. [17:53] can someone help me plz? all iam tryign to do is change whre deluge saves its .torrent files(not data) [17:53] a1fa_: when you do that, does an icon appear in your panel? if not, right click the panel and hit "add to panel" then choose Notification Area [17:53] it didnt start [17:53] Randomly-> try to remove auto eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces [17:53] xdpyinfo | grep 1024 results in dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (192x144 millimeters). Why 1024x1024? [17:53] a1fa_: ok so add a notification area because it seems yours was removed === Mud|afk is now known as Mud [17:54] where are the X include and library files kept on ubuntu? [17:54] the battery is there tho [17:54] n8tuser2, can't change the live CD [17:54] alfa: well, you could try to install it if you'd like. go to terminal and enable root. then type "apt-get install network-manager". if it says the newest version is already installed, then you do in fact have it somewhere [17:54] a1fa_: oh. what if you run "nm-applet" from a terminal? [17:54] WTFAmIDoingWithY: network-manager-gnome, you man [17:54] *mean [17:54] WTFAmIDoingWithY: just plain n-m is the backend [17:55] Randomly-> without background info, we are guessing so state the environment so we can give you bette advice [17:55] it says [17:55] networkmanagerusersettings service as its already taken [17:55] hello! [17:55] how would i go about deleting a bunch of rar file throughout a bunch of directories using command line ? .rar's and all the .r01, .r02 etc [17:55] hey guys..i have been wanting to ask this for a long time now, i tried the forums and other things but could never get the answer, my hibernate and suspend never works and i really want it to work.. [17:55] hey, I'v just tried to log in and X just gives me a grey screen with an X on it and does nothing for 20 minutes before presenting a login screen where this is repeated, the .xsession-errors file indicates my user is not authorised to use X, and my removing the.Xauthority file doesnt work, as when gdm recreates it its still borken, I opened it and found that it is completely jumbled, as if its being read with the wrong character encoding or so [17:55] alfa: it sounds like you have removed it from your tray. i could be wrong, but that's my guess [17:55] Acedip: if youre using nvidia or ati, you could be screwed [17:56] maco: ati [17:56] WTFAmIDoingWithY: it cant be removed from the notification area other than killing the process [17:56] skream: find . -name "*.r??" -exec rm \{\} \; [17:56] anybody tried installing wp_tray ? [17:56] hi [17:56] !hi [17:56] nice, thanks [17:56] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:56] why does apt only have 1.34.1 of boost? [17:56] Background: HP Pavilion ZE4400 series; Ubuntu is not installed and has never managed to boot; wired eth0 is known to not work in WinXP. I suspect the network card [17:56] latest is 1.37.0 [17:57] Acedip: your only shot is what i suggest in http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/03/ati-nvidia-resume-good-news-bad-news.html ...if that doesn't help, then well...no luck [17:57] Koterpillar, actually that doesn't do what i need [17:57] Koterpillar: don't need to escape the brackets. [17:57] need help with wp_tray.... [17:57] it says NewtorkManagerUserSettings Service as it is already taken [17:57] skream: what do you want? [17:57] !latest | donopia [17:57] donopia: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [17:57] Gnea: just to be safe [17:57] skream: find . -name "*r??" -exec rm {} \; [17:58] ubottu, but it's like 5 versoin off, i would be ok with 2 or so [17:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:58] !gparted [17:58] Koterpillar: safe from what? [17:58] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [17:58] danopia: it goes by time, not number. [17:58] Koterpillar, will that search and delete file names that that include rar's, r01's, r02's etc? [17:58] not working [17:58] hte one after the apt one hashte library i want, so i guess i have to download it myself [17:58] is LtL connected? [17:58] Gnea-> anything that ends in r oh..danger... :P [17:58] Gnea: from my limited knowledge of shellscript [17:58] what is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu? [17:58] alfa: Goto systems>preferences>sessions on the startup tab hit add enter: [17:58] nm-applet [17:58] then ok to logout then log back in should now be in the tray. [17:58] oh wait r?? [17:58] danopia: fo which app do you need it ? [17:58] my own [17:58] yeah [17:59] hi @ all, is it possible to update / -grade from 8.04 to 8.10 w/o loosing my files on the pc ? [17:59] maco, it's from July 24th, 2007 12:00 GMT, so it'supdated every 2 years i guess [17:59] danopia: you can check getdeb for latest versions, but they are not supported here [17:59] WTFAmIDoingWithY: its there [17:59] Gnea: and don't forget the dot [17:59] danopia: i suggest filing a request with Debian [17:59] hitman1985: sure [17:59] alfa: is it checked? [17:59] danopia: ubuntu syncs from debian each release [17:59] yes [17:59] so wait... what am i supposed to use? [17:59] maco, ok [17:59] yes [17:59] its checked [18:00] danopia: last time i checked, debian was .35 with latest .36 [18:00] could use their packages, btw [18:00] honestly, i have no idea why it isn't showing up. i really wish i could help you but im somewhat a newbie when it comes to linux haha [18:00] skream: find . -name ".r??" -exec rm {} \; type that in the directory that contains all of the rar files [18:00] Koterpillar, i'm looking at the page on here : http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading is there anythign i have to watch out for ?\ [18:00] hitman1985: yes, run "sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal after doing all your 8.04 updates and itll do it all for you. or you could click the "a new version (8.10) is available!" button in your regular updater [18:00] Gnea, yeah i need it to go through many directories [18:00] Koterpillar, latest is now .37 and ubuntu has .34.1, so i'll just get the latest from boost.org and try getting it working myself :P [18:00] Koterpillar: no, debian has 1.34.1 in sid [18:01] skream: what's your root directory for it? [18:01] maco: when we upgrade from 8.10 to the next release, will we have to reinstall all of our drivers again? [18:01] maco, ok :) thanks i m runing all updates right now, it ll be done in a minute [18:01] thanks and have a good day :) [18:01] WTFAmIDoingWithY: uh...most drivers are included [18:01] any ops around? [18:01] danopia: instead of attempting to build it, check getdeb.net [18:01] /public [18:01] TwinReverb: #ubuntu-ops [18:01] nvidia graphics drives gave me hell for atleast 4 hours when i first got 8.10, thats why i was wondering [18:01] hi, how do install a package --JUST THE PACKAGE-- without the dependencies? [18:01] this is strange [18:01] WTFAmIDoingWithY: if you have 3rd party drivers that you need to add-on, then yes, you'll need to reinstall those. but you have to do that with every kernel update anyway, not just on release changes [18:01] i see where your going with it though, i think i got it [18:02] tclduh: that is going to break things. [18:02] ok, thanks for the info [18:02] so nm-applet is not starting [18:02] :) [18:02] tclduh: download it and use dpkg [18:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-962203.html [18:02] same crap [18:02] thanky kindly [18:02] tclduh: there's a flag for dpkg to not whine about updates. check the manpage. [18:02] skream: cheers [18:02] i have a question about installing tar files if anyone can help out though. im having some issues there [18:02] maco: ty [18:02] WTFAmIDoingWithY: installing tar files? thats like installing a zip [18:02] maco: ah yeah, but latest on getdeb was .35 [18:03] anyone ever used parted magic?? is there a channel i can ask for help? [18:03] when i download the packages, the xzf command gives me errors every time [18:03] Koterpillar, danopia: you can use the "rmadison" command to look up what versions of what packages are in ubuntu and debian. "rmadison boost" gives you ubuntu, "rmadison -uqa boost" for debian [18:03] i can never get them installed so i have to resort to using DEB files [18:04] jim_p: partition magic ? [18:04] WTFAmIDoingWithY: ok so you're trying untar them, not install them. and why would you want to compile from source instead of using a deb? [18:04] ok [18:04] !compile > WTFAmIDoingWithY [18:04] DasEI, no. parted magic is a live cd distro based on gparted and it contains some similar programs for cloning etc [18:04] WTFAmIDoingWithY, please see my private message [18:04] i started nm-applet [18:04] but it doesnt show up anywhere [18:04] ok [18:04] WTFAmIDoingWithY-> what is the exact name , give some specifics [18:05] maco: thats an interesting command [18:05] maco: thanks [18:05] jim_p: don't know it, will google, I know gparted live cd [18:05] maco: rmadison... where to get it? [18:05] sudo apt-get install devscripts [18:05] what a hell is wrong with nmapplet [18:05] Koterpillar: ^^ [18:05] a1fa_: bug? [18:05] i dont see how [18:05] DasEI, what apps other than gparted does that live cd contain? and can it be set to copy itself to ram or not? [18:06] maco: for example, im trying to install "framework-3.2.tar.gz". but i cannot extract them and make them usable [18:06] 10000 other people would have the same bug [18:06] i have no clue why [18:06] WTFAmIDoingWithY: you have to use the z flag [18:06] goat|lappy: lies! [18:06] goat|lappy: havent had to tell tar "by the way, this is gzip/bz2" in years [18:06] goat|lappy: and he's already using z :P [18:06] tar xzvf somename.tar.gz [18:07] actually, won't tar x something work? [18:07] nm-connection-editor starts fine [18:07] nm-applet [18:07] does not [18:07] it just sits there [18:07] i tried to edit /etc/modules and when i try to save it tells me i do not have perission [18:07] a1fa_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:07] WTFAmIDoingWithY: ok so why do you want to compile it when you could just use a deb? i'm not understanding this. usually people "resort" to compiling when they cant find a deb [18:07] anyone know why? [18:07] wow. that actually worked. every "guide" ive found so far for installing tar's hasnt worked, but that just did it [18:07] jim_p: gparted runs from usb,pxe or live cd [18:08] a1fa_, try another app like wicd and sump the buggy nm [18:08] maco: i missed that, sorry [18:08] WTFAmIDoingWithY: i usually just use "tar xf mytarball.tar.gz" [18:08] hey all, suddenly my wireless is not working in 8.10, could someone give me a hand? I've scoured the forums and google already [18:08] WTFAmIDoingWithY: the v makes it take longer [18:08] jim_p: gparted live doesn't contain additional progs [18:08] DasEI, i dont really consider it as a feature because i always use live cd [18:08] !anyone | jc_lethargic [18:08] jc_lethargic: 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? [18:09] DasEI, but its 100MB big! parted magic is half of it and contains even firefox! [18:09] jim_p:the gparted live is enhanced from the ubuntu.live [18:09] i want to install some tar files on my system so i can use them, but they kept giving me errors. i kept cd'ing to the directory and trying, thinking maybe linux doesnt recognize the files unless youre there but it never worked. the xzvf command actually worked though [18:09] maco: ohhh, gotcha [18:09] Why cant I alter the file /etc/modules? it tells me I do not have permission, but doesn't ask for a password or anything. [18:09] DasEI, enhanced as in? [18:09] jc_lethargic-> can you post the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file [18:09] ummm, "does anyone" know why my atheros wireless card which has been working has slowed down to a stop? [18:09] sure [18:10] jc_lethargic: install linux-backports-modules [18:10] jim_p:as in better hardwaresupport, it's a specialized cd [18:10] well thanks a lottt for the clarification. i have it working now. i know it was stupid but thanks for the response. i appreciate it! [18:10] jc_lethargic: many atheros cards switched drivers. about 1/2 work with the default drivers and 1/2 work with l-b-m [18:10] WTFAmIDoingWithY: wait wait wait [18:10] jab: ls -l /etc/modules [18:10] WTFAmIDoingWithY: why are you preferring compiling over packages? [18:10] DasEI, can it boot from ram? [18:10] it was working, then it just lagged to a stop [18:10] jim_p:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php [18:11] there is go gparted channel! [18:11] can anyone help me on installing a pixart webcam [18:11] jim_p:no, can any prog ? [18:11] WTFAmIDoingWithY: im still confused. compiling spews files all over the place. packages keep track of what files were added so they can be uninstalled or upgraded really easily. i dont know why you'd choose compiling. [18:11] it was finding the wireless but not working at all [18:11] what do i do with -I /etc/modules? [18:11] maco: im not preferring compiling over packages per se. sometimes i find programs id like to use but there arent any .deb files available [18:11] sorry, I'm new to linux [18:11] DasEI, the ubuntu live cd can ran from ram! and loads of other live cds [18:12] WTFAmIDoingWithY: ah ok. the phrasing "then i have to resort to DEB files" made it sound like you liked compiling better which seems really O_O unless you're a gentoo user trying to super-optimize the compilation [18:12] jab that file can only be written to by root... if you're sure you want to change it, use sudo nano /etc/modules [18:12] jim_p:no, it loads itself in, not from ram [18:12] DasEI: you can run it from ram [18:12] jab, use "sudo gedit /etc/modules" for a graphical notepad [18:12] DasEI: you just add "toram" on the boot line [18:12] maco: haha no, im sorry for the miscommunication. i just find files sometimes that do not have any .deb files available [18:12] DasEI, but i want it to load to ram! i want to use the drive to take some backup! [18:12] jab: /etc/modules contains drivers for hardware [18:12] jab: he means gksudo gedit [18:13] i just want to add mbp_nvidia_bl to it, because im on a macbook pro ith nvidia gpu and the guide im following said to [18:13] marko-_-: sudo is not to be used with graphical apps [18:13] maco, why not ? i always use it [18:13] maco, do you have similar experience? [18:13] can anyone help me on installing a pixart webcam?? [18:13] marko-_-: it can royally bork permissions [18:13] rjm101 are you sure it is supported? [18:13] jim_p: of what? [18:13] i only use it for gedit [18:13] !gksudo | marko-_- [18:13] marko-_-: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:13] maco, of gparted and live cds [18:14] !webcam rjm101 [18:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about webcam rjm101 [18:14] jim_p: the gparted live cd is no longer being developed. ive used it once. [18:14] so, i guess my question is how do i add "mbp_nvidia_bl" to /etc/modules [18:14] !webcams [18:14] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [18:14] jb yes it is suported it has it in modules but no gspca.ko [18:14] jim_p: if you have an ubuntu live cd though, why do you need a gparted live cd? ubuntu has gparted on its cd. [18:14] "auto lo-iface lo inet loopback-iface ath0 inet dhcp-wireless key ####-wireless-essid mynetwork-auto ath0 [18:14] whoops [18:14] jim_p:now I got you, might be possible, but slows down machine then, I suggest you a usb boot then if possible to have the cd free [18:14] jab: um, edit the file and just put it on a line by itself [18:14] didnt mean to do that link [18:14] maco, it is! i remember them upgrading gparted (the app) some month ago. let me look up [18:15] maco, ubuntu needs 1gb+ to boot from ram. not all pcs are like so! [18:15] jim_p: a few months ago the gparted live cd was discontinued. the app is still being developed, but not the cd [18:15] DasEI, not all pcs boot from usb [18:15] jim_p: are you using a 10 year old? [18:15] maco, let me look up [18:15] jim_p: because most pcs made this century can boot from usb just fine. [18:15] does anyone know if there's a way to use artwiz fonts in URXVT? [18:16] maco, can a pc made in 2000 boot from usb? i think not === NGL-Jabrroa_ is now known as NGL-Jabrroa [18:16] jim_p:check in bios [18:16] jim_p: really?? the oldest ive tried was from 2002, and it had no problems [18:17] maco, http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=05212 last version was made a month ago! [18:17] jim_p: havent checked the bios of my circa 1998 one [18:17] thanks for the help, everyone! you are all always so helpful [18:17] can I print to pdf from the command line? [18:17] does my interfaces profile seem normal? [18:17] jim_p: I got a 97 here that allows (usb/zip ) [18:17] btw, what is the latest version of gparted (the app) [18:17] ?? [18:18] does anyone know what the name of the driver i need for my video card : gm965 express chipset (dell inspiron 1720) [18:18] jim_p: O_O hrm...i thought i read a while ago that it was going away [18:18] jpastore→ yes, CUPS includes a PDF printer. use lp to print from the command line. [18:18] Arrowhead212002, intel i guess [18:18] magnetron, thank you [18:19] maco, i download the latest iso now to have a look [18:19] Arrowhead212002: maybe intel_agp [18:19] hello there [18:19] Arrowhead212002, run lspci -nn and google the 2-part code [18:19] Does anyone know why I am getting the error message "could not find information on interface 'atho;avahi' in /proc/net/dev"? [18:19] jm sorry had a phone call [18:20] ok let me go take a look [18:20] jim_p: interesting. they announced in july 2007 that it was going away because the monk that developed it was too busy. i guess someone adopted it.

[20:04] pipcookie -- Can't view YouTube and any flash-oriented media. [20:04] another_girl: I think you could search which process mounts your usb device(perhaps hotplug?) and check it's options(there SHOULD be one) to set the permissions... [20:04] another_girl-> look into /etc/udev/rules.d/ see if any of these rules can be customized to your needs [20:05] Ice_Max: no because you don't have a bootloader then anymore [20:05] white-sheep, there's gnash if you want "free"; otherwise, what I did was bop over to the Adobe site and downloaded their flashplayers. [20:05] n8tuser2: really great URL, thanks again :) [20:05] Garp-> you're welcome [20:05] pipcookie -- I was told there are adobe-plugin package -- I can't find it.

[20:06] n8tuser2: thanks:) didn't know about /etc/udev/rules this could be interesting [20:06] white-sheep: flashplugin-nonfree [20:06] n8tuser2: well in fact i already did, in 60-something file there are some rules concerning usb [20:07] to many rules, learning linux, you gots to read a bit;) [20:07] Hello. Opening web pages with ubuntu takes ages. I can open only google. What should I do? [20:07] n8tuser2: the problem is that the rule is in the form : filesystem = usb group = plugdev (i think) [20:07] afief once you learned it, can you hang around the channel and assist with udev rules ? [20:07] Can someone help me with a .sh file please? I moved this file from terminal to my /usr/bin folder when I try to execute it, I get an error saying permission denied. Anyone? [20:08] Does anybody have any experience with fujitsu lifebook S6010 and ubuntu live cd? how to get the graphics to run properly? [20:08] droopsta915: well if you want to use any system effectively you gotta read quite a bit. in case of windows that's memorizing an endless number of registery keys [20:08] n8tuser2: then i'm stuck : where is that group defined, i cannot find it in default groups [20:08] Edijus: are you using compiz, my browser was working slow, so I got rid of the cool effects on my computer [20:08] n8tuser2: I hope to:) but right now I'm also trying to learn about video encoding and subtitles. it seems dvdauthor has quite a few bugs in it... [20:08] and then, why is that holy default permission 700 (seven - ziro - ziro) [20:09] n8tuser2: so udev replaces hotplug or is that something else? [20:09] anyone? [20:09] droopsta915: Sorry, I am new in Linux, so, I do not know what compiz is.

[20:10] n8tuser2: I'm already reading this one:D [20:11] Edijus: You click on fire fox and webbrowser is slow? [20:11] well the thing is, is this program is supposed to convert ogg to avi using recordmydesktop, and gtk-recordMyDesktop && ogg2avi.sh && exit is supposed to load recorder which is does, but when it comes time for the .sh it gives me permission denied. [20:11] hey [20:11] i have a problem [20:12] Anybody with knowledge of ubuntu live cd and graphics driver selection? [20:12] CntrySheepFahker: chmod will set permission for execution [20:12] hi, i've installed tvtime, mplayer & mencoder.

[20:13] CntrySheepFahker: why do you need a shell script for that? just ffmpeg -i (myOggFile).ogg (myNewFile).avi [20:13] afief: cant find evience or ockulgar, tryed synaptic and add/remove apps [20:13] alright [20:13] n8tuser2: unfortunately, on those page I coouldnt find any link to teh specsheet of the chip (not even a complete reference): I still dont know what I can plug there :( (but thanks for the help anyway) [20:13] afief: so i don't have to type in extra stuff, i installed linux 2 days ago so all these commands I easliy forget.. this way its 2 in one action [20:13] thank you guys [20:13] justizin1: isn't it off a usb stick though?

[20:16] Solarium: i686=x86_32, the difference between them is that the 64 bit version can have more than 4GB ram(terabytes), unless you need that you should install 32 for now(until flash and stuff goes 64 bit at least) [20:16] I've just "partially upgraded" Intrepid to 2.6.27-11 and lost my Atheros wifi driver; had to revert back to 27-10.

So unless you have old hardware, or crappy softwqare, go for x86_64 [20:21] herr_werwolf, look up your card model, type lspci it should be there somewhere [20:21] (sorry was disconnected) [20:22] Garp, well i got a pretty weak laptop 1gb ram, and 2.00 Ghz [20:22] rahduke: it sounds a bit like your comp is trying to deal with the usb-device as needing to sync a music-player etc.. but it needs to -boot- not since a usb-music device...

[21:15] Tisch: yes [21:15] Scunizi: okay [21:15] has anyone here had to debug/trouble shoot issues with "secure remote connections" with either KDM or GDM?

I tried booting with a gparted live cd and that still works so new cpu doesn't seem to be broken. [21:19] why is eclipse 3.2 the version in ubuntu repository? [21:19] Tilos: You could try disabling everything to do with SMP in your BIOS - dual core, hyperthreading etc. It would at least help identify the problem if it then works, though of course you wouldn't be getting the best out of the CPU [21:20] Tilos: gparted live cd might well work just because it is UP only [21:20] Any Radio Hams got WSPR running on Ubuntu 8.1?

[21:20] Lexvegas: the aptitude -d command will download packages without installing [21:21] dgarr thanks [21:21] I can make it to the recovery mode and grep processer /proc/cpuinfo says I have two cores if that's any help.

[21:22] i am having difficulty partitioning a drive to install ubuntu [21:23] from http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting-the-system-manually-upon-installation-ubuntu8.04 : "If you want to create a logical one, make it as big as you want so that all other partitions will fit within." that made me unsure, is it true that a logical partition works just like a primary one? [21:25] hy [21:25] can anyone say a romanian torrent site free? [21:25] Hey! Somebody knows about C# and .Net on Linux? It's only one thing that stop me to move on it.. [21:25] hey anyone got time to help me? im tryin to figure out why my xorg.conf file is empty [21:26] hi all. i installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my second hard drive. i set up my partitions manually, all extended partitions, and i use all of the available mount points that show up in the drop-down in the gparted installer. that comes to a total of 10 partitions if you include the swap partition. this results in the last partition being /dev/sdb14. now, if i try to setup another installation of linux the same way i run into an error ev [21:26] ery time with sdb16. note: it doesn't matter if i try to make fewer partitions either, like 5 or 6. i get the error. i have not try one big partition. anyone know what limit there is on the number of partitions? have i hit it? [21:26] why do u need 10 partitions [21:26] hehe [21:26] Why do you need ten extended partitions? [21:27] Why have't you a primary partition? [21:27] Why do you require so many partitions? [21:27] onetinsoldier: There might be a limit there. 16 is 2^4. You could use LVM instead, but do you really need that many partitions? [21:27] hi, does anybody know why a default 8.10 install would break pulseaudio ? I didn't install it - is it the new default ? chipset is realtek ALC662 intel HDA [21:27] beargins: it's not a question of 'need'. i could explain why i make numerous partitions, but it would take me a bit. [21:27] onetinsoldier: try us [21:27] hey anunnaki, u got any idea why on a fresh install my xorg.conf has no entries [21:27] adaptr: Yes. I'm familiar with that particular problem.

[21:30] Im trying to make an encrypted system with this guide; http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting-the-system-manually-upon-installation-ubuntu8.04 , question is: can I make all the partitions logical (/, /home, swap and so on) and still have a safe system (ie is it safer to encrypt primary partitions then logical)? [21:30] hey , anyone know why /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty on a fresh install? ive tried dpkg-reconfigure [21:30] White-sheep, realy? Nice! I'll google about it. Thanks! [21:30] using gm965 chipset [21:31] Katangawise -- Use seamless feature. It's really nice. ;) [21:31] onetinsoldier: I think there aren't device nodes after 15 partitions, but with udev that might have changed. In any case it's not expected that anybody would need that many partitions. You could use LVM, but unless you explain why you need that many partitions, nobody is going to understand why a limit of 15 partitions is a problem.

[21:40] beargins, No [21:40] :) [21:40] eipipuz: that usually happens when the remote host has had to re-generate its keys for some reason. Delete it from ~/.ssh/known_hosts or just delete known_hosts if you only use password authentication [21:40] flaco: you can use sudo apt-get install gparted to manage them via CLI; that's how I manage partitions, but I'm aware that there's also a GUI [21:40] no comment [21:40] beargins: hi, i can help with that. it will require numerous steps tho. you ok with that? [21:40] ok [21:40] beargins: I actually removed my xorg.conf and the auto-detection picked everything up. [21:40] hmmm [21:40] yowshi: dpkg -S '*-dev*'|more [21:40] eseven73: I think I've used the terminal twice in four months. The gui has gotten much better over the years [21:40] well i want to add settings for my touchscreen [21:40] Ah. [21:40] flaco: gparted is what the ubuntu LiveCD comes with to manage partitions [21:40] white-sheep: then file/history might be what you need [21:41] the calibration is a bit off on the top left of my screen [21:41] ardchoille: maybe with ubuntu thats possible yep [21:41] flaco: actually gparted has both CLI and GUI if I'm not mistaken. So type in: sudo apt-get install gparted, and you should be set. [21:41] Romanian, ok, I erase all partitions with gparted, but the disk size is 160 GB, but only showed 149, why is that? [21:41] beargins: hmmm, perhaps the method Tilos suggests would work. my way requires numerous steps, but it's an interesting process [21:41] beargins, You can probably find some old scripts that will setup an xorg.conf, but why? In one case you are using a script to automatically create a configuration for X, in the other you are letting X automatically configure itself [21:41] anyone..please..I just need a way to rip video from a camcorder [21:41] flaco: that is because of industry labeling [21:41] eseven73: yeah, Ubuntu rocks [21:41] eipipuz: don't be too quick with deleting [21:41] Romanian, oh, ok... thks :) [21:42] flaco: 1GB = 1000MB, 1MB = 1000KB, etc. That's why a 750GB HDD will show up as only 660 or so.

If you're writing a WM I guess you need to familiarise yourself with how X starts up!

Every time i put one in it says "(14:43:21) There was an error executing your command." [22:43] and each of them uses quickbooks...but I'm sure they use it for different things. [22:44] Taladan: In that case, I can almost guarantee that all the features they all use won't be available on gnucash, or really anything else for that matter. [22:44] Taladan: That happens any time you move anyone to a different piece of software [22:44] helllo some one has given this "fix" for making webcam 183b work can anyone have a look at this page : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4041402 and look for "fix.tar" file and tell me how to make module out of it and use it? [22:44] <_cb> Anyone using firebird or flamerobin? [22:44] * Taladan nods [22:45] raylu, where did you go? [22:45] Taladan: Have you looked into some CRMs? [22:45] Yeah, I guess what I'm looking for is general accounting software with double entry that is capable of doing the basic functionality that quickbooks serves... [22:45] CRMs? [22:45] Zerocool947: er, i never said i knew the answer to your question [22:45] oh [22:45] Taladan: Oooh, look into sql ledger [22:45] Zerocool947: i merely told you to provide a more specific question [22:45] * Taladan makes notes [22:45] Customer Relationship Management software. === root is now known as Guest51781 [22:46] Perhaps that will integrate everything together for you. [22:46] Guest51781: rule #1: NEVER get on the 'net as root.. this includes IRC [22:46] hrm [22:46] I hadn't thought about that clearmoments [22:46] Taladan, http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linuxacct.html this list may be of some help to you [22:46] Google: open crm [22:46] There are a couple hits. [22:46] pm me all [22:46] kk [22:46] Maybe Open CRM, or something of the like. [22:47] hello all any one who like to help a player from nigerian 15 male pm me [22:47] komila komila komila plss [22:47] Taladan: this one to http://www.thelinuxnewb.com/2008/12/top-10-linux-financial-tools.html [22:47] clearmoments, (just dropping in) sugarcrm is decent === ryaxnbx11 is now known as crapdedoom [22:47] Seveas: Totally cool, drop in as you please :) [22:47] Zerocool947: it'd also help if you told us the graphics card and driver you were using [22:47] Oooh...good site Scunizi, thanks [22:47] np :) === crapdedoom is now known as ryaxnbx11 [22:47] hey Scunizi can you help me make a module for my webcam? === caseheart is now known as sliderz [22:50] Anyone happen to know what type of DB the Quickbooks uses and/or if it's possible to import QB workbook data to any of the aforementioned software solutions? [22:50] I am using an Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M. I am a complete Linux noob. I have heard that there are problems with my laptop (Dell Latitude D830) and linux based systems because of this graphics card. Can anyone help my find a fix? [22:50] Zerocool947: a fix to what [22:50] Zerocool947, what is the problem you are experiencing? === julio_ is now known as JulioNeto [22:51] fryguy, can you help me make a module man? [22:51] There is a graphics problem where many graphical options are lagging [22:51] Bigshot_: why are you asking me [22:51] you might know [22:51] Bigshot_: i don't know anything [22:51] k [22:51] for example, typing in firefox, changing tabs, moving windows [22:51] Taladan: I _think_ gnucash can import Quickbooks. No idea about versions. I get the impression that the Quickbooks format is reasonably well understood [22:51] among other things [22:51] hm...okay [22:52] Zerocool947: glxinfo | grep -i direct [22:52] well that lends hope then, if gnucash can import the data then that may be what I need to suggest to existing customers. [22:52] Direct rendering: yes [22:52] Taladan: Or maybe Quickbooks can export the data into a format these solutions can read as well. [22:52] Like CSV or something. [22:53] Taladan: I think that the best option is crossover office, tbh. Buy the official Codeweavers version and see what support they'll give you. [22:53] clearmoments: it's my understanding that Quickbooks can export data, but I'm not sure about it being readable by other programs...I think Intuit likes having a corner on the accounting market as it were. [22:53] Taladan: I use gnucash and am happy with it. But people in general wouldn't like the change [22:53] fryguy: Direct Rendering: yes [22:54] also, am I doing that direct chat thing right? [22:54] With wine there's virtually no change from the user's perspective - if it works and is stable, of course [22:54] I'm trying to reinstall firefox on 8.10. So I uninstalled in synaptic package manager using "complete removal" but then I can still start firefox.... [22:54] Taladan: Well if it exports CSV then anything can read it. [22:54] sgorf: yeah, that's something I've thought about, but I'm trying to see if I can migrate people away from QB altogether...all of this stuff is dependent upon what the CPA tells me as far as usability of the various pieces of software. [22:54] Er.. Almost anything. [22:55] clearmoments: yeah, I'll have to check that out [22:55] Zerocool947: now go to system preferences appearance and turn off 3d effects [22:55] Taladan: Maybe do it in two stages - first, move them to Quickbooks with wine, then they get the benefits of the rest of the system and get a chance to like it. Then they'd be more open to switching away from Quickbooks === _cb is now known as _cb_afk [22:55] * Taladan nods [22:56] sgorf: Yeah, that's something that I've thought about, as well as using virtualization with an XP install to run QB on. [22:56] Taladan: What version of QB are you running? [22:56] Bigshot_: i really don't know anything about building a module either. but this guide helped me build the fglrx .deb packages(a kernel module) and you might look at the man pages for debhelper, dh, and dpkg-buildpackage --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ...i really have know i idea if my post will help you at all, but maybe it will get you pointed in the right direction [22:56] clearmoments: not me, it's multiple businesses that I administer, so various versions [22:56] Taladan, the virtualization would be a good option for compatibilty but then the users still need to pay for a Windows License [22:57] Taladan: Well for Wine they have to be pre 2004 [22:57] fryguy: I couldn't find any checkbox that said "3d rendering" but visual effects are off [22:57] incubii: true, but most of them already have machines with windows licenses on them [22:57] hi all! I'm loking for some advice for runnign Ubuntu on an older system with little ram. any tips? [22:57] how do i make it so when every time i log in i dont have to re type compiz --replace in the terminal [22:57] clearmoments: yeah, that probably wouldn't work...most of them are 2k6 or better I think [22:57] Hi! I'm connected to the Internet via wireless... I want to turn on a ethernet connection (withou Internet), but when I plug in the cable, I lose my Internet... Is there any way to bo connected to both connections and get Internet via the wireless connection? [22:58] Awsoonn, try Xubuntu [22:58] !info xubuntu [22:58] Package xubuntu does not exist in intrepid [22:58] !xubuntu [22:58] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [22:58] RichiH: use the route command to change your default route [22:58] Rdgcrs, You want to connect with wifi and ethernet [22:58] incubii: it's a bit slow as well however 256MB ram and all [22:58] exodus_MS: yes [22:58] Awsoonn, Fluxbuntu ? [22:58] Though, this nolapro software (http://nolapro.com) looks to be really flexible [22:58] * ElijahDuBarryVT is away: I'm not here, please try again latter! [22:58] Rdgcrs, at the same time? why? [22:59] incubii: the fluxubuntu is fine for me but a bit too dificult for my other users of the system. anything else? [22:59] exodus_MS: I need to share files via samba [22:59] but I wont lose Internet [22:59] Taladan: Good link, I'll hold on that if you don't mind [23:00] Hopefully the converter is up to par. [23:00] Rdgcrs, you can share files with samba using wifi, are you trying to stream large files or something? [23:00] how do i make it so when every time i log in i dont have to re type compiz --replace in the terminal [23:00] how do i restart metacity? everytime i enabled effects it crashes and i have no title bars.... how can i fix this temporarily and permenately? [23:00] Awsoonn, not for Ubuntu, no. Unless you trip out the fat of Ubuntu and go for lighter wieght applications [23:00] metacity --replace [23:00] put that in the terminal [23:00] Awsoonn, but Gnome will kill your RAM usage anyway [23:00] clearmoments: *nods* It was in the list of software on that page that Scunizi gave me [23:00] hi [23:00] but Arrowhead212002 -that disables effects. [23:00] exodus_MS: I will share the files with another network (not with a computer on the Internet provider network) [23:01] Rdgcrs-> do not have both wireless and ethernet active at same time if they use the same gateway [23:01] is there a way to tell imagemagick to include also files within subfolders? [23:01] Taladan: Is there a really compelling reason to switch the users from Windows? [23:01] fryguy: is there any way to set the 3d rendering in the terminal [23:01] Rdgcrs, file server? [23:01] well are you using compiz effects? [23:01] how can i get metacity to work without crashing when compiz is trying to enable effects? [23:01] incubii: any other webbrowsers you recomend? FF takes up so much ram I sometime cry to myself :P [23:01] yes, Arrowhead212002 [23:01] Zerocool947: you don't want to turn it off [23:01] if thats the case then try compiz --replace [23:01] hello everyone im having a bit of a problem im kind of new to linux i was woundering how to install files [23:01] Sonja-> not sure, but have you look at its how to use page or readme files? [23:01] Awsoonn, you could try Opera of Epiphany [23:01] ok lemme try that Arrowhead212002 [23:01] n8tuser: They use different gateway... [23:02] fryguy: well how do I turn off 3d effects? [23:02] clearmoments: yeah, most of them are sick of dealing with the multitude of virus issues, as well as it being a small community there's not a huge lot of money to buy specialized software each time they need something. [23:02] yes i have but it just doesnt seem to run [23:02] exodus_MS: Well... only copy some files temporally [23:02] what should i apt-get in order to get a minimal gui on my ubuntu server? [23:02] Zerocool947: you claimed you did [23:02] google earth 4.2 keeps crashing and 4.3 won't load. i am running 8.10 with backports enabled [23:02] Rdgcrs-> then perhaps a clear drawing of how your network is laidout is in order, a picture is worth a thousand words [23:02] Zerocool947: just select none for the option [23:02] Awsoonn, if you get Epiphany with the Web-Kit engine it should be quite fast [23:02] Hlfshell: but then that will lead you to where i am everytime i restart my comp i need to type in compiz --replace [23:02] All of them want server capabilities, without the pricetag of paying for server 2k3 [23:02] Taladan: Thats good that they are motivated. [23:02] Arrowhead --- compiz --replace returned errors about the gtk-window-decorator.... something about an undefined symbol. [23:02] so i still dont have title bars [23:02] Taladan: I know that its really hard to get users to switch. [23:02] fryguy: yes, I had done that long before [23:02] and i dont know how to make it so i dont have to type that all the time [23:03] fryguy: it's still laggy [23:03] Taladan and clearmoments: free, i.e. don't have to pay lots of money or steal winxp [23:03] Taladan-> what do you want done? all users have a server? who the heck is going to manage each and every server? [23:03] also the community is a selling point [23:03] clearmoments: yeah, I have gotten warm reception from them after talking with them about it, and I've been working with them for over a year now providing various solutions, so they trust me to provide them with honest answers [23:03] Does anyone have any experience with why a webcam (creative vf0350 live cam) will not work with any programs, not even skype? (os shows no detected devices) i installed the hacked ov51x_jpeg file correctly....but still no luck. ubuntu 8.10...any help greatly appreciated [23:03] did you install emerald? [23:04] n8tuser: This is for multiple businesses that I adminstrate [23:04] Sonja: Oh don't get me wrong, I love Linux. Users don't often share my enthusiasm. [23:04] i dont know what emerald is Arrowhead212002, so i guess not? [23:04] s/administrate/administer [23:04] Taladan-> and what are the requirements? [23:04] Taladan: Thats good. [23:04] hlfshell, you could delete .compiz from your home folder and start again [23:04] n8tuser: depends on the customer ;) [23:04] emerald is a windo theme editor for compiz [23:04] you think thatll fix it anto9us ? [23:04] emerald package is not installed. [23:04] anyone seen the new screenshots of kde..err I mean windows 7? [23:05] fryguy: like I said, it's still lagging, Is there any other potential fix? [23:05] hlfshell, that's my best guess, you'll lose all compiz settings of course [23:05] Taladan-> okay since you are getting paid to do this thing, do you think its appropiate for you to pay support services? [23:05] im installing now to give it a try. [23:05] Zerocool947: no idea [23:05] anto9us - i wont mind resetting :-) [23:05] we're already setting up a system that i've developed using ubuntu server with bacula and Partimage is not Ghost as their backup systems in several of the major businesses [23:05] is it a problem if i don't see vista/longhorn loader under "merger assistant" on the "ready to install" screen when installing ubuntu/vista dualboot? [23:05] then does anyone know how to fix the graphical lag problem with Dell Latitude D830 laptops? [23:06] n8tuser: That's something that I've discussed with the various business owners, that there is support available. [23:06] ok emerald is installed. anto9us, Arrowhead212002 , i will be right back, reseetting X [23:06] Taladan-> uhuh, and you are getting positive response? [23:06] I'm the 'linux guy' for our company, so it's up to me to try and push the use of it, but also to help provide solutions. [23:06] actually wit- emearld works great :-) [23:07] thanks for the help anto9us, Arrowhead212002 [23:07] n8tuser: so far, yes. The biggest movement I've seen with linux use has been on some of our residential clients - they're at least willing to look at it and try the livecd's etc. The businesses I'm still in the R&D phase to try and provide workable solutions. [23:07] ok, that's not working [23:07] Hi... I have a questions with regards to grub and other operating systems. I have installed Ubuntu 8.10, and my Ubuntu 8.04 which is installed to another partition was properly detected. After a kernel update, the 'Other Operating Systems' entry for 8.04 still points to the old kernel. How do I re-trigger detection of other operating systems? executing update-grub only added 8.10. [23:07] hey [23:08] Taladan-> okay, keep up the good work of proliferating the opensource mantra :P [23:08] does anyone know if this http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4410382/Adobe_Flash_CS4_v10.0_Professional-SHOCKiSO would work in wine [23:08] how do i install my own nameserver [23:08] bsol: i don't know, i only have experience with WinXP dual boot. but i don't see anything when i install either. you won't actually know if grub is going to load windows until after it's installed and you've rebooted [23:08] camerongroom: www.winehq.org [23:08] Not all of them will switch, but a lot of them openly embrace the use of open source software (pushing things like Firefox and Openoffice, etc) [23:08] i have problem with my disk- in Ubuntu while copying an input/output error occurs. In Windows it works fine [23:08] yaris123456789-> do you have to? you can read up on bind9 or get a book on name server [23:09] i tried to change the resolution for my screen, as it goes outside my visible scope on screen, and this crashed my X session. now, when i try to log in, i get an invalid mode message from my monitor, though gdm loads.. how do i reset this? [23:09] n8tuser: why do i need my own nameserver anyhow [23:09] camerongroom, please dont post links to warez [23:09] I have a problem with VirtualBox. I already have Vista installed on this machine and I want to run it in a virtual box. However, it looks like the box can only install windows. Is there any way around this? [23:09] when i do a clean install from cd, will my existing /home dirs be left intact? the whole fs is in the one same partition, and i don't plan on repartitioning the disk. [23:09] Well it was fun talking, but I must go. See you all later. [23:09] yaris123456789-> i dont know, you're the one asking to create one, i honestly believe you dont need to create one for a few users [23:09] Brack101: I know about the program I have it I'm asking if it will work in wine [23:09] n8tuser: well i just got this new VPS box [23:09] n8tuser: it says enter nameserver [23:10] and hostname [23:10] incubii:Sorry [23:10] do i need to have registrar access to those domains ? [23:10] someone come take this snow please... [23:10] lol [23:10] yaris123456789-> ahh i mis-understood you, a nameserver for your local network or for the internet? [23:10] it is a high of 2 tomorrow low of -20 here [23:10] zeeeee: just make sure you tell the installer that you want to use the partition for /home, but do not, i repeat, do not format that partition [23:10] onetinsoldier: so if i can't load windows after installing am i screwed? or is there still a way to configure grub to dual boot? [23:11] camerongroom: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [23:11] n8tuser: yes for the interents [23:11] bsol: you can configure grub later to boot other os's if you want.. GRUB is worth learning [23:11] yaris123456789-> umm. whats the VPS stood for? im just wanting clarifications [23:11] bsol: for the most part it will configure everything just fine.. on a rare occurance you might have to reinstall grub.. not a big deal. [23:11] well, am i invisible? [23:11] n8tuser: virtual private server [23:12] ok thanks guys here i go on the install wish me luck! [23:12] hey guys how tork is as application? good best? or there is better [23:12] Dr_WIllis_AAO: I'm haveing a similar problem, do you know how to configure grub for other operating systems automagically? [23:12] freeqstyler: :) [23:12] !patient | freeqstyler [23:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about patient [23:12] Hmm... [23:12] * Scunizi sees the shadow of Claud Rains [23:12] Brack101: i can't download from Adobe, because their download manager does not work in linux [23:12] Mybooks by Appgen supports QB data import. [23:12] yaris123456789-> okay, have you done any reading of tutorials on how to install such VM ? [23:12] I'm trying to set my caps lock to a control. I setup the xmodmaps and in xev, when I hit the capslock it returns (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), but it still doesn't work as control. [23:12] !patience | freeqstyler [23:12] freeqstyler: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:12] is there any player which open subtitles like this >> https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/attachment/ticket/824/powerdvd_30_2sub.jpg?format=raw [23:12] ? [23:12] well i am using WHM cPanel to install [23:12] carol__ try running update-grub, perhaps.. I often edit my menu.lst to add wiatever other oss i want.. [23:12] bsol: man, personally i hate trying to figure out how to install grub manually. however, it is possible. it also should be possible to restore your normal Vista boot loader if you want to too. but of course then you'd have no boot loader for linux [23:13] I did apt-get install cron but the cron jobs still don't run anyone have a clue [23:13] a'ight a'ight ^^ [23:13] bsol: ok, good luck! [23:13] JulioNeto: videolan is VLC and it's availble in the repos [23:13] but that's on the windows version only. Hrm. Maybe in the pay version the linux version will import QB data. [23:14] webternals, is the cron service running? [23:14] yes [23:14] Dr_WIllis_AAO: Thanks... update-grub only adds the 8.10 kernels, but doesn't detect 'Other Operating Systems'... but since the Ubuntu installler does I'm thinking there might be some way to re-trigger that. [23:14] hello, someone can help to install ubuntu, I got a issue with a sata disk [23:14] webternals, ok, how are you sure the jobs aren't being run? [23:14] camerongroom: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14514&iTestingId=33545 [23:14] Scunizi, videolan can do it? [23:14] the problem is that the disk is not recognized in the partition manager [23:14] Dr_WIllis_AAO: But thanks a lot for replying [23:15] JulioNeto: you're link didn't open so I couldn't tell what it was trying to do.. but the link was from the video lan site.. what did they say? [23:15] I wiped ubuntu and have another distro installed but whenn i turn the computer on to boot from my harddrive it gives me a GRUB error. Does Ubuntu leave grub on my MBR or someting? [23:15] I have a problem with VirtualBox. I already have Vista installed on this machine and I want to run it in a virtual box. However, it looks like the box can only install windows. Is there any way around this? [23:15] i set a simple one in /etc/crontab * * * * * root /bin/touch /root/test.test and no luck [23:15] Scunizi, nothin... [23:15] hrm...I had no idea that so many different solutions for accounting were available for linux. This makes me feel better. [23:15] Brack101: how is that link supposed to help me [23:15] how safe is it to install and use tork software and does it to any harm to system? [23:16] JulioNeto: so what is it you're trying to do? [23:16] Scunizi, I can open subtitle on VLC, but I want open one secondary [23:16] can anyone help me get kino working to rip video from my camcorder? [23:16] erizoe: yes, that is how grub works [23:16] Hello [23:16] webternals, have you checked your mail (or root's mail) for any errors -- and btw, touch should be /usr/bin/touch === niki44 is now known as nikola77 [23:16] camerongroom: You asked if it works with wine and the answer is no [23:17] I installed a theme that utilizes the emerald theme manager, but it resets every start up [23:17] Scunizi, what the guys was asking is what I'm wanting ... I'm looking for this videolan now [23:17] fryguy: tips? How do i take Grub off of the MBR so that i can boot with LILO? [23:17] JulioNeto: you might give mplayer a try and see if that will do it. [23:17] hence the site I just sent you [23:17] so every startup I have to type Alt+F2, emerald --replace [23:17] erizoe: install lilo [23:17] how can I avoid doing this? [23:17] JulioNeto: sudo apt-get install vlc [23:17] appdb shows you whether or not stuff works with wine [23:17] I'm not on Ubuntu. and I have Lilo0 installed with a working lilo.conf [23:17] Brack101:It works with wine flash cs3 is on the silver list. but I'm saying when I try downloading it from Adobe.com the download manager is cranky and doesn't do anything. [23:17] fryguy: I'm not on Ubuntu. and I have Lilo installed with a working lilo.conf [23:17] Scunizi, I don't think Mplayer do that.. but if I didn't find anything I'll give it a try ;) [23:18] erizoe: so then what is the problem? [23:18] Scunizi, videolan = vlc ? [23:18] unop this is a new server and I have not installed any "mail" capabilities yet [23:18] camerongroom: yeah but you have cs4, that's different [23:18] Scunizi, videolan = vlc. [23:18] well there isn't a way to get cs3 [23:18] ¬¬ [23:18] without a torrent now [23:18] I'm using it Scunizi [23:18] Adobe doesn't sell it anymreo [23:18] fryguy: when i try and boot another distro it still tries to use GRUB. I want to delete GRUB from th MBR i think./ [23:18] erizoe: then lilo isn't installed correctly. Install lilo correctly [23:19] Earlier today I had a problem after switching from an AMD Sempron 3200+ to and AMD X2 4850e. Ubuntu kept either freezing or rebooting during startup. I solved it by uninstalling powernowd. What does powernowd do? Is it good for anything? I've read that the functionality has been replaced by stuff in the kernel. Is that right? [23:19] how do i make it so when every time i log in i dont have to re type compiz --replace in the terminal to start compiz [23:19] webternals, every system has a mail reader to read local mail - it should be at /usr/bin/mail [23:19] fryguy: I think it is installed correctly. [23:19] erizoe: it's not [23:19] I got a problem when I try to install ubuntu, the thing is that the disk is not recognized in the partition manager (sata disk), but the disk is recognized in the bios any ideas? [23:19] hrm....looking at sugarcrm it looks astounding, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. [23:19] Hello all. Does anyone know of a good program to record screen video with sound. [23:19] fryguyL what should I look for for "correct"ness? [23:19] Arrowhead212002: do you have any effects turned on in system | preferences | appearance before you start compiz [23:19] Brack101: so you're saying if I find a flash cs3 I can run it on ubuntu? [23:20] erizoe: it runs when you boot your machine [23:20] nope [23:20] erizoe: lilo works the same way grub does, just worse. It gets installed to the mbr and then uses part of the contents of a partition on your system to read settings and do things [23:20] Taladan: vtiger? zimbra? Centric? [23:20] unop: your statement is not entirely accurate [23:20] it just chooses metacity over my compiz [23:20] Fryguyl I do not want to use the MBR. How do i take grub out of hte MBR [23:20] camerongroom: no I was just showing you how to find out if stuff works in wine [23:20] Scunizi: I'm focussed more on accounting than customer db stuff [23:21] webternals, regardless, have you checked your mail???? [23:21] Taladan: and do you need it server based? [23:21] erizoe: you have to use the mbr. it's how x86 systems boot [23:21] unop: There are no errors not even in the log files [23:21] do hdparm settings persist across reboots? [23:21] Brack101: alright but because it says it works with wine, then I can download a trial from a third party site and it should work with wine right? [23:21] Fryguy: thanks (i think)... I'll give it another go tonight [23:21] webternals, errors are sent via mail ... [23:21] Yes, its official. ubuntu 8.10, sound was working fine..now..it doesnt...anyone have any suggestions?

I thought I remembered one that was server based.. not sure if it was opensource or not. [23:23] I've found some good leads on here so far...I think these will keep me researching for the next month or so. Thanks guys! [23:23] I love the linux kernel, it tastes so good :3 [23:23] Thank you.

[23:24] caseheart: roger. i don't know how to help really. i thought it might give clue, and that may have something to do with it, the webcam install attempt. i don't know. === stovicek1 is now known as stovicek [23:25] unop: i do keep gettin Dec 20 17:25:01 webternals CRON[15976]: User account has expired [23:25] lol onetinsoldier, at least someone cared to ask :P [23:25] witam [23:26] Hey guys!

I'm sure Ive read a guide somewhere but I can't find it.. Been looking like crazy now.. Could anyone help me? [23:27] webternals, that's odd, if that error pertains to your job in /etc/crontab - the root user account should never expire. [23:27] caseheart: hehe. :-) you have anything against trying 'proposed updates'? i installed them today, then took them off my repo list after i had them all downloaded and installed. they're working fine. and some of the updates were for 'pulseaudio' [23:27] webternals, kill that old job and try another job perhaps? */1 * * * * root echo hello world > /tmp/cron.test [23:28] unop: I have tried several commands but I think I may look into why the root account is expired first [23:28] onetinsolder, no i ran the updates (well, the os did earlier) and i installed them all, that may well be what killed it? i am reading a forum that says someone else had same problem..maybe on the right trail>? [23:28] Taladan, this looks like an interesting forum thread for you http://www.xtuple.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=505&sid=71b4a3e8fb33f097a61a47ea27f1476a [23:29] caseheart: yes, you may be on the right trail. too bas if that's the case though. their working fine for me, but who knows, i have no idea how they may affect other folks [23:29] bas=bad [23:30] EXIT [23:31] mor [23:31] how do i make it so when every time i log in i dont have to re type compiz --replace in the terminal to start compiz [23:32] unop: thanks for your help but my solution was fixing the root account [23:32] onetinsoldier, i can set it to autodetect, or alsa, or pulse, and none of the tests work...it shows the hardware correctly...i just ran sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules, that didnt seem to help...going to reboot. no boot sounds, no mp3 sounds btw...

For the swap partition make the type swap. make the swap partition 1-2 GB. make the windows partition fat 32, and don't do anything to the mount point. [23:54] caseheart: yes.. but you'd need to know what all packaged came from the 'proposed updates'. [23:54] actually, what might be easier, is if you go back, and instead of clicking manual, use the one where you can just click and drag it [23:54] DjLuckE: ^ [23:54] DjLuckE, take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [23:54] DjLuckE: Or just don't format the Windows partition [23:54] that too [23:54] helpw I would advise against using fat32 for anything but external usb drives. [23:54] oh okay. [23:54] then what should he use? [23:54] or a local swap partition [23:54] caseheart: i think there is an 'ls' command to list the most recent files laid down in /var/cache/apt/archives [23:54] NTFS? [23:54] helpw: he should not "use" anything - he should let windows install itself on NTFS [23:54] Okay [23:55] So just make the windows partition blank [23:55] and always - ALWAYS - install windows first [23:55] okay [23:55] i think i would put the ubuntu at the end???? [23:55] adaptr: That's the easy way [23:55] it's been a while since i did this, i think you should help him [23:55] yes [23:55] DjLuckE: yes, definitely [23:55] caseheart: for an example, go to /var/cache/apt/archive and do ls pulse* you will most likely see various versions of that package in there [23:55] adaptr, yes, thats it [23:55] I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my toshiba laptop with a Atheros Wireless card, it shows the card and everything in lspci, but I cannot get it to work for the life of me. The drivers from ubuntu are installed as well, how do I connect to a network? [23:56] onetinsoldier, is that a pretty frequent thing for updates to blow stuff out of the water? lol [23:56] and swap part in the middle of the two??? [23:56] you could, yes [23:56] bbl. [23:56] but I strongly advise you to create a separate /home [23:57] swap isn't that important if you have 2GB or more [23:57] pm me so i dont get lost lol if you wish [23:57] i have 2 gig of ram [23:57] unop: There's nothing for grub in /etc/default, and /etc/grub.d doesn't have anything either (just one for memtest) [23:58] caseheart: not really.. but sometimes, and more often with 'proposed updates' enabled. if you want bleeding edge use proposed updates, if not, do not have proposed updates enabled. if you want 'unstable' then download and install 'Jaunty', the next version of ubuntu... get the idea? ;-) [23:58] Capn_Fish, not sure then, sorry [23:58] onetinsolder, i will take your advice and disable that, i didn't really know it was that much of a danger (READ: noob), im ALL for stable :P [23:59] the windows partition i click dont use yes [23:59] how do I configure wireless in ubuntu? I believe I have the drivers installed correctly but can't connect to anything [23:59] onetinsoldier, would it be easier for me to start clean? [23:59] Capn_Fish: I just joined the channel, so I'm not sure what you need, but /etc/default/grub can be created if you have something you need to put in there. [23:59] caseheart: it's now you job to figure out what's wrong and submit a bug report on the package in proposed updates that has broken your sound. hehe [23:59] onetinsoldier, its my dream to be that smart, ha
