[00:00] peaces: there should be a network icon up by the date/clock. click that.. if you have wpa or web on your router disable that first. If broadcasting is off turn it on (in the router) [00:01] Scunizi: what should i do after i disable that? [00:01] Might anyone be able to help me with getting a screenlet installed? [00:02] peaces: after disabling teh wpa/wep? [00:03] caseheart: ask someone how to list the most recently laid down files in /var/cache/apt/archives with ls. or perhaps read the man page for ls and figure it out. or, maybe just try and manully installed the next oldest version of pulseaudio packages in there with the dpkg command and see what happens. it's up to you about reinstalling tho. [00:03] Sxunizi: Yeah I just disabled that [00:03] manually install* [00:03] Scunizi: Yeah I just disabled the wpa [00:04] rww: I'm trying to disable the auto-creation of recovery boot options [00:04] peaces: turn on "broadcasting" so the rest of the neighborhood will see your router, including your laptop.. once you've figured out how to connect then you can go back and disable broadcasting and either reestablish wpa/wep or use mac filtering to limit access to your laptop [00:05] caseheart: i really recommend you keep asking every few minutes for someone to help you figure out your sound problem. but make sure you let them know you installed proposed updates [00:05] mn, some info here http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/17/os-x-like-widgets-with-screenlets-on-ubuntu-3rd-update/ [00:05] Scunizi: I have broadcasting on, I don't know even where in ubuntu I would go to be able to see SSID's though [00:05] ontinsoldier, i checked the /var/cache/apt/archives and it shows no new files today, shows friday as last date modified day [00:06] Capn_Fish: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change "alternative=true" to "alternative=false", then run sudo update-grub [00:06] !screenlets [00:06] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [00:06] peaces: up by the clock in the upper right corner there is an icon that looks like windows networking icon.. 2 computer screens, one in front of the other. [00:06] Scunizi: yup nothing in there about wireless though [00:07] peaces: when you click on it what appears in the drop down box.? [00:07] Scunizi: just my wired network connection [00:07] caseheart: ok, roger. what version of pulseaudio do you have installed? [00:07] caseheart: mine is... 0.9.10-2ubuntu9.2 [00:07] onetinsoldier, forgive me, how do i check that? [00:08] dpkg -l pulseaudio [00:08] peaces: have you looked in System > Admin > Hardware drivers to see if there are drivers there that are not activated for your wireless card? [00:08] onetinsoldier 0.9.10-2ubuntu PulseAudio sound server [00:08] Scunizi: yeah there is one in there that was automatically installed when i started up for the first time [00:09] rww: thanks [00:09] caseheart: hmmm, no 9.2 on the end? interesting [00:09] onetinsoldier would you like to see the verbose output from dpkg -l pulseaudio? [00:09] caseheart: sure. [00:10] caseheart: if you mena all the lines besides the one that list the version number... then no [00:10] peaces: I'm not on a wireless connection right now to look and play, but right mouse clicking on the icon and left clicking on the icon will give you different options. What you're looking for is for an option to switch from ath0 to something else.. (not sure how it'll be labeled..) [00:10] ok 10-4 didnt know if that would make a difference? [00:10] caseheart: here' [00:11] caseheart: here's my entire line... ii pulseaudio 0.9.10-2ubuntu9.2 PulseAudio sound server [00:11] hello all [00:11] Scunizi: I know what you mean, but its not there... I have been playing around with this for hours now [00:11] onetinsoldier mine is ii pulseaudio 0.9.10-2ubuntu PulseAudio sound server [00:11] Apt-get can't verify some packages cause it is missing some gpg keys... Does anyone know where I can get them? [00:12] I just installed a package from synaptic that's supposed to give me utilities for my laptop, but I don't know how to access it or modify it [00:12] Scunizi: I appreciate you help, my dinner just finished though so I'll try again later thanks again [00:12] i cant seem to get around this annoying keyring popup when i open evolution. i dont have auto login enabled, and i type in the admin password, to no avail, any ideas? [00:12] I can't seem to get the right words for google [00:12] peaces: hopefully someone else will jump in and know the answer.. Unfortunatly I'm stuck.. Have you read ubottu's reference page..? [00:12] !wireless | peaces [00:12] peaces: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:12] Scunizi: what is his issue? [00:12] Gives me too much info [00:13] rrplay: can you help me with getting the vista start button clone working? it doesn't say anything about it there [00:13] !keyring [00:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring [00:13] FAJ: he has an atheros card that he can't get connected. drivers are loaded he says from install and can see them in Sys>Admin>Hardware.. [00:13] caseheart: i probably can't help much with this tho. you need to put the question out to the whole channel like you were before, but just make sure you let them know you installed proposed updates.. if you actually did. btw, try piping your dpkg -l command into less and see it looks a little different. i don't know why my version looks a little different than yours [00:13] !seahorse [00:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about seahorse [00:13] pffrt [00:13] !gpg [00:13] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [00:13] juhls: can you copy the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list into pastebin, please? [00:13] Scunizi: did he try iwconfig ging it? [00:13] mn: what screenlet are you using [00:13] !pastebin > juhls [00:13] juhls, please see my private message [00:14] caseheart: try this... dpkg -l pulse* | less [00:14] FAJ: not with me.. but he says he's been trying for several hours.. [00:14] Scunizi: o ok . [00:14] onetinsoldier ii pulseaudio 0.9.10-2ubuntu9.1 PulseAudio sound server [00:14] thats what i get from piping it. [00:14] hold on [00:14] Zerocool947, read your package's information provided in synaptic [00:14] caseheart: ahh, there you go! entire version number now [00:15] Thx for teaching me that trick o.t.s. [00:15] FAJ: if you have suggestions for him to try, since he's eating dinner you may consider sending him a /msg or PM so he'll see it later. [00:15] ok [00:15] anto9us: I did, it didn't provide anything. Also, I restarted and i don't remember what the package is called [00:15] rrplay: I am trying to make my ubuntu desktop look like Aero and I am trying to use the orb screenlet to add the top and the bottom to the orb start button. I am also trying to get the button screenlet up [00:15] caseheart: as you can see, i have a slightly newer version.. perhaps the version i have has been bugfixed [00:15] hello, anyone can tell me reasons why my hard drive (sata) is not recognized in the installation?? [00:15] mn: try the screenlet wiki or forum etc google for the vista clone info you want [00:16] onetinsodier, please tell me if this is correct, sudo apt-get install pulseaudio ? [00:16] caseheart: i emphasize 'perhaps' [00:16] trying it [00:16] How can I disable NetworkManager? [00:16] on Ubuntu 8.10 [00:16] Zerocool947, then, retrace your steps, what were you looking for and why? All packages have a list of installed files. [00:16] Rdgcrs: uninstall it. [00:16] Rdgcrs: why? [00:16] anyone on the keyring problem? [00:16] Rdgcrs: you could disable it in sessions [00:16] caseheart: sudo apt-get update... then sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [00:16] anto9us: it was a set of utilities for dell laptops [00:17] FAJ: How? [00:17] anto9us: I found it in the terminal, then downloaded it through synaptic [00:17] the installer screen wraps at the top and overlaps itself, anyone ever seen this? [00:17] Rdgcrs: in System>Prefernces>Sessions [00:17] i still get same thing, latest version [00:17] ok [00:17] Rdgcrs: i wouldn't recommend disabling it though.. [00:17] sorry, in alternate / text installer, that is.. [00:18] FAJ: I have network problems if I use it [00:18] mn; try here http://gnomestyle.blogspot.com/2007/05/make-ubuntu-look-like-vista.html [00:18] caseheart: roger. sorry to hear that. you might try rebooting tho. however, i have serious doubts that will help [00:18] Rdgcrs: what are you using in it's place? [00:18] Zerocool947, so, what do you need help with? Synaptic includes a list of files that each package will install. [00:18] Rdgcrs: i agree ;) gnome-network-manager sucks [00:18] Rdgcrs: wicd is really good [00:18] rrplay: those are the directions i am trying to follow :( === root is now known as Guest72826 [00:19] FAJ: The common Debian's way... /etc/network/interfaces... [00:19] anto9us: well first I need to find the package. Then I need to find what it installed exactly and how I activate it === flaco is now known as flaocm [00:19] Rdgcrs: ah that works too... [00:19] hello === flaocm is now known as flacom [00:19] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/89567/ [00:19] lol, i will definitely try.....however i fear you are correct. I do appreciate the help, and you DID at least teach me one trick..so....my thanks. I will continue to ask, as I really would like to know WHY as much as fix it... [00:19] mn : WMs and eye-candy are fun !! [00:20] Zerocool947, in terminal, pressing up arrow will step you back through your history of typed commands [00:20] i would to know if there is a video editor that give me the possibility to import files *.flv [00:20] FAJ: I'll try wicd when I have time... thanks! [00:20] <_Ire> whats the command for a new folder? [00:20] anto9us: I found it in synaptic, but I can't find where It would have installed the program [00:20] caseheart: you sound like me now.. i almost always want to know 'why'. curiousity killed the cat! lol [00:20] Rdgcrs: ya, i have never had issues with wicd. it works especially well with wifi.... and it removes gnome-network-manager for you ;) [00:20] natsukao: import flv files? [00:20] yes [00:21] caseheart: good luck to u :-) [00:21] Zerocool947, it may have been a number of programs, look at its file list, it may have put some in /usr/bin or similar [00:21] I recently installed proposed updates, have pulse audio newest version , AC97 audio, just quit working for no reason, everything shows like it should work, but no sound (tested multiple outputs....not a cord , etc)........Anyone have a clue what would cause it to just die? The only thing I have done is install the new updates, and i was trying to install a webcam earlier. [00:21] rrplay: :) I agree, but this is though for me to figure out. The first time I did it, the botton came up fine. Then I changed the config back like it was, and now I try to put that button back on there and it won't work [00:21] or to import *.ogv files [00:21] juhls: thanks. Looks like the only repositories you have are official Ubuntu ones. Did you delete the Ubuntu Archive keys by accident or something? [00:21] rww, so what are your thoughts? [00:22] rww, I don't see how... I never touched it [00:22] mn; cant say that i had tried this one here [00:22] caseheart: if you installed "proposed" and it goofed something then you should report it as a bug/regression.. that's somtimes the problem with "proposed" [00:22] juhls: hmm. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-key list" for me? That'll show the keys you have right now. [00:23] Scunizi, could you breifly explain where/how? I have no problem doing that. [00:23] rww, sure give me a sec [00:23] caseheart: htt://www.launchpad.com and search for ubuntu then the package or just search for the package. [00:24] if I update the lvm2 package, do I need to reboot (I'm using LVM volumes)? [00:24] mn: did you log in and out yet restart X ?? [00:24] Hi [00:24] Where's the log file for fsck? [00:24] caseheart: also I think if proposed is still activated, you could look in Synaptic for the package and there might be a link in the description [00:24] juhls: oh, and if you have any files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, pastebin them too (you can put them in the same pastebin as the apt-key output) [00:24] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/89569/ [00:24] I get this from launchpad Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.launchpad.com Port 80 [00:25] rww, I'll need to make another post [00:25] caseheart: try launchpad.net [00:25] juhls: okay, that works too :) [00:25] where is the bootup log found? [00:25] caseheart: /ubuntu [00:25] FAJ: /var/log ?? [00:26] Scunizi: lol... yes? but which log is it? [00:26] FAJ: /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/messages, depending on what exactly you're looking for [00:26] rww: you know if you turn usplash off... where can i see what is being written there? [00:26] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/89570/ [00:26] FAJ: I could(n't) tell you but then I'd have to rm you :) [00:26] hi, any ideas why a disk is not recognized during the installation but its recognized in the bios? [00:26] lol [00:27] rww, running Xubuntu btw no one in that channel is giving me the light of day. I used the desktop install [00:27] nuit !! [00:27] Where's the log file for fsck, fsck.ext3 and e2fsck? [00:27] rww, I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot telling you that [00:27] rww: it's not in /var/log/boot [00:27] flacom ou can hit F6 and try all_generic_ide on the command line and remove quiet and splash while you are there [00:28] hi folks, trying to use k3b to burn an iso, k3b doesnt detect a cdrom [00:28] can anyone see this? [00:28] joshual: do you have more than one in the machine? [00:28] juhls: nope, I figured you were running Xubuntu from your sources.list file. So the only repositories you're using are the Ubuntu and Medibuntu ones, and you have the keys for all them... hmm. Which packages are you getting an error for? [00:28] hello all [00:28] sivel: yes [00:28] sivel: yep [00:28] i cant seem to get around this annoying keyring popup when i open evolution. i dont have auto login enabled, and i type in the admin password, to no avail, any ideas? [00:29] sivel: is it asking for the password(s) to your email accounts when checking? === ThatMole_ is now known as ThatMole [00:29] FAJ: then look in the three files I told you about :) [00:29] yes [00:29] rww: looking... [00:29] rww, I can't remember. I could never get any help on the subject so I just allowed them to be installed... [00:29] Is there like a website or faq that recommends applications to design websites and run them on linux? [00:29] i need to limit internet access on a per-user account basis, so for example, i want to apply some firewall rules when user X is logged in ... anyone ? [00:29] Does anyone know if Eeebuntu supports accessible install like Intrepid? [00:29] just for an idea [00:29] whn i type in the admin password for the keyring, it keeps on popping right back up as if the pass is wrong [00:29] when [00:30] rww, probably not a real good idea.... But patience wasn't my strong suit... [00:30] sivel: mine has been doing that too.. I kill the evo-data server and that seems to help.. sometimes.. other times I simply close Evo then kill the data server and reload.. then it works for a while... I think this started a couple of updates ago. [00:30] rww: could you name them again please :D [00:30] Where's the log file for fsck, fsck.ext3 and e2fsck? [00:30] hey guys i added index.html to public_html, but it keeps showing Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server [00:30] FAJ: /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/messages, depending on what exactly you're looking for [00:30] how do i kill and reload it [00:30] ? [00:30] yo yo yo [00:30] howdy, i somehow ended up in expert install mode with only the option to install LILO, and i'm trying to figure out how to install / configure grub manually, any pointers? i installed grub2 package and ran update-grub, but still have no menu.lst, just a grub.conf [00:30] hi; i tried creating a live usb stick from kubuntu 8.10 (desktop) using usb-creator - now i'm getting "Missing operating system" when i try to boot from that usb stick [00:30] fourat, http://tips.webdesign10.com/using-linux-for-web-design-and-development-ubuntu [00:31] rww: didn't see what i was looking for :\ [00:31] rww, so if it happens again, I'll basically need to figure out what repository it came from. [00:31] in thos fiels [00:31] anto9us: that for me? :) [00:31] didn't find any solution yet - anyone got the same? [00:31] nonickname2, dd your usb stick... Boot record is messed up... [00:31] juhls: yeah, basically [00:31] Swabby, yes, my eyes were crooked :) [00:31] juhls: but it looks like you have all the right keys for the repos you have, which is why I'm confused [00:31] sivel: you can add the system monitor to one of your panels by right mouse clicking on the panel and "add" .. once there it should be self explainitory. [00:32] juhls: heh... is there some help/tutorial page somewhere? [00:32] anto9us: thanks for the site [00:32] Jack_Sparrow, like this: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper all_generic_ide ?? [00:32] rww, how do you know I have the keys lol? [00:32] (i.e. a "definitive" one...)

[00:35] onetinsoldier:good got a new laptop [00:35] re [00:35] #ubuntu-es [00:35] is it possible to use Logitech wireless dj music system with ubuntu? [00:35] rww, where did you get your information? [00:35] with Nvidia Gforce Go [00:35] mia_tech: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html [00:35] ActionParsnip: I kind of have it half way... i"m not sure if I"m using the right boot image [00:35] Where's the log file for fsck, fsck.ext3 and e2fsck? [00:35] <[TiZ]> Scunizi: I used to start Evolution at startup with Alltray, and I used Mail Notification with it. So I would usually just shut down without properly exiting it. When I start my computer again, much of my mail is unread again, and I get many notifications about them. [00:35] jin, it's great for getting email between disparate and uncooperative clients [00:35] juhls: for end-users, we usually just include a line on how to install the required GPG key in the instructions for adding the repositoriy [00:35] <[TiZ]> That's my bug. [00:35] darkfuzion: oh! must be nice, or i hope it is anyway! no more old ancient radeon 9200 eh? hehe [00:35] <[TiZ]> jin: I'm not sure I want to redownload all 7000 of my e-mails.

[00:36] ActionParsnip: Thanks, but it doesn't contain enough [00:36] and figure out how to partition it with windows on it [00:36] penol: get a media player that supports it [00:36] rww, so somehow I am installing software that doesn't have a key lol [00:37] adaptr: amarok :/ ? [00:37] juhls: exactly. Ubuntu adds the Ubuntu keys during its setup. If you follow the Medibuntu install steps, it installs its key... the only time you /should/ have missing keys is if you're using a PPA [00:37] penol: yes, I use amarok [00:37] deepfriedsquirre: maybe some extra switches gives more info to the log? [00:37] adaptr: do i need to install some other files ? [00:37] switches? [00:37] darkfuzion: ahh, nice. so now you can have the 64-bit version of linux. very cool [00:37] ActionParsnip: ok it says that the boot image is pxelinux.0 but the pc is booting up but not getting the image [00:37] juhls: which is what i thought was going on at first, but there aren't any ppa lines in there, so i guess not :( [00:37] penol: not that I know of [00:37] penol: you have to configure the ipod in amarok, hat's it [00:37] rww, So I've been installing stuff I shouldn't have [00:37] adaptr: is it hard? [00:37] There are ~/.bash_login in Mac. What's the equivalent for Ubuntu? [00:38] penol: just go and do it [00:38] rww, computer doesn't act differently [00:38] ~/.bashrc ? [00:38] adaptr: i will try, and i ask here if google cant help me. [00:38] rww, they keys were created for a purpose lol [00:38] hey guys i added index.html to public_html, but it keeps showing Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server [00:38] ah well...

[00:38] can anyone help me to get wireless working? I don't even really know where to begin [00:38] juhls: well, if you were just using Synaptic or apt-get install packagename, everything from there should have been signed properly. Hence me wanting to know the package name so that I could figure out why it wasn't picking up the key/signature [00:38] white-sheep, .bashrc And .bash_profile normally [00:39] darkfuzion: you just partition normally. just make them all extended partition after yer windows partitions. if you need to re-size the windows partition, well, i'm not familiar with that [00:39] yaris123456789: change a setting in /etc/apache2/sites-enables/000-default [00:39] rww, if it happens again I'll be sure to mark which package [00:39] in tty, how can i scroll up?

How can I get the standard output back? [00:41] juhls -- I mean -- How do I set environment variables -- Is that by defining the given directory in $path ? [00:41] white-sheep, supposedly the .bash_profile or .profile is source by the .bashrc [00:41] well i have the whole drive in windows [00:41] rww: nvm [00:42] white-sheep, export VARIABLE makes it available to all shells [00:42] adaptr: Damn, *is running around to find steve jobs, to kill him* [00:42] How can I disable the USB hid drivers?

[00:42] darkfuzion: roger [00:42] white-sheep, without the export it is local... export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/my-dir adds $HOME/my-dir to your path [00:43] I don't want it to start up, and I should be able to disable it in modprobe.d/ [00:43] juhls -- Thanks -- I think I got it -- Basically I just type in -- export LOL=/home/chris/LOL [00:43] white-sheep, and makes it available to all shells it is global [00:43] and i hopw that work the guided part because i hate to use wubi [00:43] I have: [00:43] options usbhid quirks=15a4:1001:0x0004 [00:43] groggy: lsmod will show you whats loaded, you can remove whatever you wish [00:44] juhls -- Is that correct?

Use a dollar sign to have it show its meaning [00:44] white-sheep, basically yeah [00:44] Zerocool947, you should do some research through your favourite search engine, not everything comes with the documentation you can easily digest, a certain skill level might be required [00:44] $ modprobe -r hid [00:44] FATAL: Module hid is in use.

[00:49] anto9us, doesnt matther, i just found it annoying thats all, i never had this before so something must have changed [00:49] darkfuzion: roger. you have a install disk for xp? if so, perhaps you could do what i do. make your own windows partition leaving plenty of room for linux partitions, then install windows, then you can make linux partitions without any need to worry about resizing. but as afar as i know resizing should work fine too [00:49] anto9us: Sorry to keep bothering you, but I think I have a grasp at what I have to do. The ReadMe is telling me to make a daemon that starts at boot by creating an init file [00:49] nonickname2, no zero it out completely dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/(name of usb); then install the whole thing again.... [00:50] ah, ok, thanks :) [00:50] will try, bbl [00:50] anto9us: and gives me the few things that I have to set, but I don't know how to do it. Do yo uthink you could help me? [00:50] darkfuzion: --> but i installed xp pro ..well? why didn't you leave room for linux partitions? [00:50] nonickname2, or you could do the first 512MBs of the stick...

[00:50] fourat, I belive squidguard will do what you need [00:50] nonickname2, try your luck [00:50] because someone said to install windows first [00:51] and i tried to install linux first lol [00:51] I use ifup and ifdown to configure my network; wlan0 offers me internet ant eth0 network shared files.

[00:52] but i can go and make a partion [00:52] pastebin.com/m19a1ac56 This can't be good; when i try to gksu nautilus that is the output in terminal... That can't be right help please?

[00:54] darkfuzion: yes you can [00:54] darkfuzion: i'm confused. now you're saying you did leave plenty of free space to make linux partitions on? [00:54] Zerocool947, you should check that the init files haven't already been created for you, look in /etc/init.d [00:54] no i can make free space for linux with the cd by making a parttition [00:54] darkfuzion: did you do a manual or automatic partitioning ? [00:54] darkfuzion: ok... cool [00:55] right it has a partion manager on the cd ill reboot my system and make a partition [00:55] anto9us: thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The readme says I have to create them, I have some basic (read: very basic) programming experience, so might be able to do something [00:55] darkfuzion: you can resize your partitions from a live cd, with a partition manager [00:55] i can use the guided feture to make the partion right????? [00:55] not sure about that though [00:55] never tried it :) [00:56] anyone else ? [00:56] can anyone tell me how to change runlevel in Ubuntu 8.10?

[02:43] how do I check that bastid_raZor ? [02:43] kudar: i wouldnt think so, only 1 process at a time can access the packages [02:43] AP: I read the manpage for interfaces. It didn't immediately jump out at me how to specify my WEP (maybe I didn't read it properly). I will have the following so far: === justizin is now known as bitmonk [02:43] lord_hypnos; ifconfig and look for inet addr: [02:44] AP: AUTO WLAN0 [02:44] IFACE WLAN0 INET DHCP [02:44] sshirley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:44] is dist-upgrade going to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? [02:44] bastid_raZor: should be thisone 127.0.0.1 [02:44] Can anyone help me with dpkg --configure -a failing? [02:44] ozgurgerilla: i'd strongly suggest a wired connection to get setup [02:45] Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.27.2-inj [02:45] lord_hypnos; no, you're using a wired connection? [02:45] daf_: whats its output? [02:45] yes I am [02:45] which is true. I deleted it a while ago. [02:45] ActionParsnip: ok does mirc work on ubuntu? [02:45] kudar; yes it would upgrade your version to Intrepid [02:45] bastid_raZor: yes i am [02:45] ozgurgerilla, SORTA in wine [02:45] ActionParsnip did you see my response? [02:45] lord_hypnos; okay, on eth0 what is the inet addr: and Bcast: [02:46] ozgurgerilla: you can run it via wine but its pointless as there are a massed multitude or irc clients for linux, what aspect of mirc do you require? [02:46] I dont use eth0, i use eth1 [02:46] bastid_raZor: will i have to update intrepid once it upgrades from hardy to intrepid? [02:46] bastid_raZor: i use eth1 [02:46] kudar; i don't know, i still use hardy. [02:46] daf_: is it referenced in /etc/modules? [02:46] ActionParsnip: as long as it does the job it's ok for me. the one your using :) [02:46] lord_hypnos; fine, what is it for eth1 [02:46] ozgurgerilla: i use pidgin, but something more like mirc would be xchat [02:46] join #gnome-art [02:47] bastid_raZor: why? [02:47] ActionParsnip: thanks, brb. [02:47] ActionParsnip no just fuse,lp,rtc,sbp2 [02:47] bastid_raZor: inet Adresse:80.108.44.188 Bcast:80.108.44.255 [02:47] ozgurgerilla: mirc can be run under wine, but native clents such as xchat and irssi work better [02:47] thanks.. [02:48] kudar; i'm going for stability rather than latest and greatest. this is a home business box that i can't afford to spend 1 minute of downtime. [02:48] daf_: you could create the file just to keep it happy [02:48] bastid_raZor: you will never get 100% uptime [02:48] synaptic keeps giving me this: "can't connect to xyz.com ... could not connect to 192.168.1.1:8080 .. (111 connection revfused) [02:48] Its a hardy system. [02:48] ActionParsnip ok but then how can I go about deleting it so dpkg doesn't see it. [02:49] Do I need to upgrade? [02:49] bastid_raZor: if that is what you are going for: then ubuntu LTS is probably the best for you... [02:49] I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu, do I have to create a brand new partition or is there any way I can use my existing install (ie delete and reinstall everything except my home folder)? [02:49] I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions [02:49] xai: hardy is supported until 2011 [02:49] ActionParsnip; i beg to differ. this box has been upgraded to hardy and in the last 3 months i've had less than 1 total hour of downtime. [02:49] Or is there some funky proxy setting in synaptic? [02:49] bastid_raZor: stick with hardy then.... personally I think it is really really good. [02:49] xai: make sure that synaptic's proxy settings are correct or change the server's you using in system > administration > software sources [02:49] lord_hypnos; probably the best way to find your router ip would be to google the brand and model.. 192.168.0.1 may work [02:49] bastid_raZor: i tried an upgrade; ended up regressing. [02:49] bastid_raZor: i work for a huge company with a tonne of redundancy and our availablity is 99.9999, we are pushing to get 99.99999 right now [02:50] bastid_raZor: 1 hour out of 3 months is not 100% availability [02:50] FAJ; i have a server that i upgraded that didn't go so well. [02:50] I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions [02:50] bastid_raZor: what is wrong then?? [02:51] ActionParsnip; and your point? i prefer to not upgrade. [02:51] qemu crashed and my mouse is still grabbed! [02:51] daf_: you could search your files for any containing the module nae [02:51] FAJ; it had issues upgrading but i've fixed since. [02:51] LTS' are normally more stable than anything else. [02:51] I'm trying to install ubuntu but it partitioner dosen't see any of my partitions, but my ubuntu live cd can mount them [02:51] bastid_raZor: i googled but I found nothing but I think its 192.168.1.1 because I can ping that [02:52] I_Am: try formatting through gparted? just a guess... [02:52] Hey gang, I have a question. I'm trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.1 but I'm getting issues because I suspect that the feisty repositories are no longer there... What do I do? I tried upgrading using the 7.1 alternate cd but it fails on me too. [02:52] bastid_raZor: if the system works, dont fix it, if its broken you need to act. You could analyse access patterns and work on it when there is least access to minimise impact [02:52] FAJ it thinks my disk is blank [02:52] Starnestommy: i found some $http_proxy that matches, but I don't see where it was set. [02:52] I_Am: are they? [02:52] ActionParsnip what controls dpkg? some config file somewhere? [02:52] hi [02:52] bastid_raZor: resolving the issue will allow the system to function better so is like an investment [02:52] FAJ the live cd can mount the other partitions [02:53] I_Am: ok i understand that,,, however, the install cant... have you checked the disk for errors? [02:53] daf_: dpkg is just a package installer and remover, i dont think it has a config file [02:53] lord_hypnos; some routers want you to change your subnet.. i have two routers that broadcast wifi then receive the signal and rebroadcast.. those routers require subnet to be changed. [02:53] FAJ yes [02:53] how can i install songbird in a dell mini 9 netbook [02:53] I_Am: and nothing then? [02:53] Anyone know how to get upgrading working with 7.04 to 7.1? Or is it broken now that 7.04 isn't supported? [02:53] ? [02:53] ActionParsnip; since hardy is an LTS i have 3 years of no worry. [02:53] FAJ YES [02:54] !songbird | kiko [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [02:54] bastid_raZor: so what should I set the subnet to? [02:54] kiko: the hardware doesnt matter, ubuntu is ubuntu [02:54] sayeghr: it shouldn't be 'broken' but installing 8.04 from an alternateive maybe? [02:54] !info songbird [02:54] Package songbird does not exist in intrepid [02:54] ... [02:54] kiko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [02:54] Urgh Im starting to think a clean install to 8.1 is in order. [02:54] I_Am: just checking.... is there any information on the HDD's? [02:54] lord_hypnos; i don't know, your routers model and version and google will give you those answers. [02:55] sayeghr: clean installs aren't bad? it would help improve system speed etc. [02:55] ellis; songbird does not have a package, you'll have to snag it from their site and install it manually [02:55] ActionParsnip I was able to use update-initramfs to remove the fake file. I'm clean now thanks for the help. [02:55] dell mini 9 runs an ubuntu 8.04 mid edition on an atom processor [02:55] daf_: no man, smooth move [02:56] FAJ: its a wd sata2 80gb laptop hd [02:56] why cant linux-backports-modules-intrepid be found? [02:56] I_Am: is there anything on it? [02:56] can do i do a fresh install of ubuntu while keeping my home folder intact? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:56] FAJ: the windows partition im on right now [02:56] aeosynth; you would have to move your /home to another partition or back it up somewhere. [02:57] kiko: doesnt matter any at all, its still ubuntu. Its like thinking an install of winrar in windows would be any different on a thinkpad to a dell inspiron. its all the same [02:57] my mouse is still grabbed after qemu crashed, how do i ungrab it? [02:57] aeosynth, no you don't have to just do not parition the home drive and make a differ user name than the old one [02:57] I_Am: try partitioning windows inside gparted before using the ubuntu installer,,, maybe... [02:57] Can anyone tell me if using NDISWrapper for a network card degrades performance? [02:57] can someone check if the coammands that are used here are not good? http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Tutorial [02:57] how do I get to expand tree bars using right left arrow keys .. right now I have to use Ctrl+right / left [02:58] sshirley: no its pretty decent usually [02:58] FAJ: i even tired a gparted live cd and got no luck [02:58] I_Am: is it vista? [02:58] aeosynth, oh sorry if your /home is not on it's own partition then yea you have to move it to it's own partition [02:58] AP: Then maybe I am better off using NDISWrapper. I can't seem to get this to work (even though I can scan). [02:59] !ndiswrapper [02:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:59] maybe?,,, just wondering. [02:59] hi [02:59] I_Am: is it vista? [02:59] hey guys i have a few nameservers, how can i check if they work ? [02:59] i'd like to use my usb headset to play games under wine, where do i start with this? [02:59] I am having a sound problem. It seems to stop working randomly [03:00] ActionParsnip: Is this correct [03:01] jimjimhim, for some reason i had that too when pidgin sounds were not muted [03:01] you never know maybe its the same problem [03:01] sshirley: what part of a headless wireless server sounds like a bad idea? [03:02] raylu: I know it's generally a bad idea. But it works for the layout of my house. [03:02] Ward1983, it was during dvd playback and sometimes with VLC or Banshee [03:02] sshirley: also, it sounds to me that the problem is that you're not sure of your wireless router's configuration [03:03] jimjimhim, dunno then sorry [03:03] hi there all, hey i have registered with linuz counter and ubuntu counter just wondering how do I put the certificates in my signature in Kontact === robbmunson is now known as Robb_Away [03:03] sshirley: switching to ndiswrapper won't fix that. if scanning returns results, you're fine with your driver [03:03] sshirley: ndiswrapper won't improve the situation === Robb_Away is now known as robbmunson [03:04] can someone explain what is bad about the commands used here? and maybe even give an alternative http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Tutorial [03:04] someone told me it were retarded commands but didnt explain why [03:04] he was rather moody [03:04] now i have nameserver, how do i link a domain name to a specific folder on my server ? [03:05] raylu: So I guess I just need to dig a little deeper in fidning out how to configure this. [03:06] raylu: Which pastebin do you all use? I'd like to show you what I have in my /etc/network/interfaces so far. [03:06] Is there anyone here that could help me with some ubuntu expertice? [03:06] a nameserver? do you have 100 computers at home sshirley? [03:06] yaris123456789 i mean [03:07] GarthDB, lol jsut ask the question or nobody CAN reply :) [03:07] basti: I never said anything about a nameserver. I think that was yaris123456789. [03:07] !pastebin | sshirley [03:07] sshirley: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:07] sshirley: though pastecode, pastie, etc. are all fine [03:07] I am trying to install ubuntu on a computer that doesn't seem to like to boot off of the hard drive [03:07] wow ubuntu rocks! [03:07] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89640/ [03:07] sshirley: have you gotten connected at all? if not, i'd suggest messing with iwconfig and dhclient rather than interfaces [03:08] lord_hypnos: are you still on here [03:08] ActionParsnip: are you around here? [03:08] sorry for the delay.... [03:09] Ward1983: thanks - I can boot on the install cd, but it won't boot on my hard drive after installing. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to make a boot cd that will boot the installation on my hard drive [03:09] that was a bit redundant sounding [03:09] raylu: No I haven't. This is what I get when I do a iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89642/ [03:09] GarthDB, it should boot from your harddrive, are your BIOS settings correct? did you remove the CD out of the tray? [03:09] How does one re-install a package and all of the config files with that package [03:09] is there a way to convert a external RAW drive to NTFS ? [03:10] using linux ? [03:10] can someone help me with my wireless card please, it's a athemos wireless card and doesn't work [03:10] i tried gparted...but for some reason ...gparted does not see external drives [03:10] !wireless [03:10] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:10] GarthDB, also if its still IDE check jumper settings [03:10] How might I get Transmission (bittorrent client) to minimize to the upper-right like it used to? [03:10] enovativ_, did you try partedmagic? [03:10] GarthDB, uinless it booted a OS before that is offcourse lol [03:10] R0b0t1, minimise it? [03:10] Ward1983: I did remove the cd, and you're right it should be booting from the hard drive. [03:11] Ward1983: that might be it [03:11] aiuw: Upper-right, like the Windows system tray. [03:11] jimjimhim: are you talking about Partiion Magic or is there a app out there called "partedmagic" ? [03:11] !ndiswrapper | ozgurgerilla1 [03:11] ozgurgerilla1: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:11] enovativ_, i will get you the url [03:11] aiuw: Get what I mean? Minimize it to an icon [03:11] jimjimhim: thanks [03:11] sshirley: if ifconfig shows that you have no ip, "dhclient wlan0" [03:11] R0b0t1: theres a few toys in synaptic that allows you to minimize or dock any window, just search it for 'minimize' [03:11] GarthDB, and the liveCD has a option "Boot from first harddrive" in the menu btw :p but just fix it instead of using that ugly workaround [03:11] enovativ_, http://partedmagic.com/ [03:12] Ward1983: that dies silently [03:12] R0b0t1, whenever I start it, and click "x" it automatically shows up as an icon in the upper corner === sebastian is now known as sebsebseb [03:12] its open source and has a nice GUI [03:12] jimjimhim: thanks again...checking it out now [03:12] GarthDB, thats freaky === baddog is now known as badcricket [03:12] yeah [03:12] jimjimhim: ...what's wrong with gparted? [03:12] aiuw: It used to do that for me, also. [03:12] enovativ_: gparted is in the repositories; just use that [03:12] However when I upgraded to the newest ubuntu, it doesn't anymore. [03:12] GarthDB, did you do a standard install? guided? (or whats the name again in english) [03:12] raylu, nothing I just like partedmagic better === badcricket is now known as baddog [03:13] Ward1983: I tried the guided install === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement [03:13] Ward1983: and the manual [03:13] raylu, because I use it on non linux systems a lot [03:13] I have a wireless driver question reg. activation of the wireless adapter [03:13] GarthDB, you only have one disk right? just to make sure [03:13] raylu: I've tried that a few times. http://paste.ubuntu.com/89643/ [03:13] Hi I'm having a problem with apt-get/dpkg. subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [03:13] raylu: i just tried gparted, and it doesn't see external drives [03:14] Ward1983: I have three One IDE and two SATA and I think that might be causing the problem [03:14] enovativ_, it does here [03:14] enovativ yeas [03:14] yes* [03:14] and i still dont know what to do [03:14] Ward1983: are you telling me that gparted works on external drives [03:14] GarthDB, did you try booting from the others? its possible grub is installed on another disk, i had that before [03:14] Ward1983: The SATA are running off of a card and I'm not entirely sure the Bios is handling that right [03:14] enovativ_: it should... did you select the right drive? [03:14] lord_hypnos: did you find your answer about your router ? [03:14] enovativ_, again: it does here [03:15] enovativ_, on my 1TB over USB [03:15] Ward1983: thanks i will look at it agian [03:15] enovativ: nop [03:15] lord_hypnos: sorry for tre delay...stil researching [03:15] enovativ_, the dropdownlist is in the upper right corner btw [03:15] lol [03:15] I wonder if I can set variable in /.bash_alias ? [03:15] enovativ:is there a difference between a router and a modem? [03:15] Ward1983: thanks [03:15] Ward1983: yeah. It really dies if I tell it to boot off of anything other than the IDE [03:15] lord_hypnos: yes a big difference [03:15] Ward1983: I installed it there [03:15] GarthDB, you get to see grub when you boot from the IDE? [03:16] GarthDB, (grub is the bootmanager) [03:16] Ward1983: nope [03:16] enovativ: ok I think I have a modem. it still blocks my ports. I want to forward a port so it can be used by transmission [03:16] gaul [03:16] Ward1983: I haven't been able to get it to boot off of anything but the cd [03:16] i9ndonesia [03:17] Ward1983: I just got a grub error 21 [03:17] !id [03:17] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [03:17] raylu: Holy crap!! It just worked!! [03:17] GarthDB, did you try booting from the other 2 disks just to make sure grub is not on them? [03:17] lord_hypnos: so basically you have one connection from the wall to your modem, and CAT5 from your modem to your NIC card [03:17] GarthDB, then you got to see grub [03:17] Ward1983: but I think I did this last install wrong [03:17] Shovi: o.0? [03:17] GarthDB, you get grub error 21 when you boot from the IDE? [03:17] er, =\ [03:17] sshirley: what'd you do? [03:17] GarthDB, lol please tell that kind of stuff immediately in the future :p errors are important [03:18] Ward1983: No sorry I was trying something new - booting off of a usb [03:18] Ward1983: sorry I was trying it out while talking to you [03:18] enovativ: yep.. all wired [03:18] Ward1983: I was telling you about my previous problems first [03:18] GarthDB, no problem [03:18] I am running an Acer with Broadcom wireless network card. I installed ndiswrapper but I cannot get the adapter to activate - any help would be great!!!!!! [03:18] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/89647/ I don't get it though. I did the same thing in my /etc/network/interfaces file, restarted the networking, and nothing. [03:18] GarthDB, it indeed has something to do about not recognizing the disk [03:19] GarthDB, at least according to google (google grub error 21) [03:19] !broadcom | thorin81 [03:19] thorin81: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:19] GarthDB, check the BIOS settings, if you dunno how to set them make some pictures and give the links to someone here [03:19] !info bcm43-fwcutter | thorin81 [03:19] Package bcm43-fwcutter does not exist in intrepid [03:19] Ward1983: I am going to try taking out the IDE and installing it on the SATA drives. That was the previous install configuration [03:19] -.- [03:19] amarok! [03:19] Ward1983: *One of the Sata drives [03:19] !amarok [03:19] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [03:20] enovativ: btw i dont use a firewall [03:20] GarthDB, that might be faster too [03:20] hello, I have a problem with my video card. The video works fine for about 30 minutes and then it gets slow [03:20] raylu: Can you explain what the difference is? Or is it just one of those things? [03:21] does any1 noe how 2 make amarok look like itunes? [03:21] Ward1983: The IDE is a larger drive and I'm wanting to use it as file server, but when I have the IDE drive in it doesn't even try to boot off of the SATA, and hangs forever when I tell it to [03:21] lord_hypnos: that is a bad practice...there is no port forwarding without a router (and or firewall) [03:21] GarthDB, so you cannot even use the IDE with anything? then check your BIOS settings [03:21] Ward1983: I might just put the IDE in an external usb case I have and use it that way [03:22] lord_hypnos: if all you have is a modem with one port for that CAT5 from the modem to your NIC card...you need to get a router === core7 is now known as dedy [03:22] GarthDB, its definitely not normal [03:22] enovativ: what for? [03:22] GarthDB, check the BIOS its probably in there somewhee [03:22] itues on ubuntu [03:22] !itunes | austin [03:22] austin: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [03:22] lord_hypnos: you can not port forwarding on a modem [03:22] lord_hypnos: unless the modem has a built in router [03:22] Ward1983: that is what I figured, but I didn't want to spend too much time troubleshooting it. I hate messing with the BIOS, that's why I was trying to boot from cd :) [03:23] enovativ_, there are devices that are modems/firewalls so he might have one of those [03:23] lord_hypnos: what is the name of your router again [03:23] enovativ: yeah i think that is the case [03:23] enovativ: mom I'll give you a link [03:23] you need the vendor and model number [03:23] How do I change JAVA_HOME setting? It is point to JRE when I want to point it to JDK. [03:23] jimjimhim: good point.....thanks [03:23] What's the firefox 64-bit java plugin package called? [03:23] hello, I have a problem with my video card. The video works fine for about 30 minutes and then it gets slow [03:23] GarthDB, lol are you like "scared" of the BIOS? [03:23] they all run Linux btw [03:23] lord_hypnos: thanks....let me get that...and i will be better able to assist [03:23] the BIOS is a scary place [03:23] !flash64 | beefybefay [03:23] beefybefay: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:23] =) [03:24] in the meantime let me go and try this gparted again [03:24] GarthDB, if it makes you feel a little bit more secure you could make pics of the bios screens and ask on IRC what to choose [03:24] Ward1983: yeah :) I've wasted too much time on past projects in BIOS [03:24] can you install itunes on ubuntu [03:24] !itunes | austin [03:24] austin -- You can install Windows on Ubuntu. [03:24] austin: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [03:24] wtf [03:24] GarthDB, still if you're gonna install OSes you NEED to work with the BIOS [03:24] just tell me i dont need the server.... [03:24] !drm [03:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about drm [03:24] lol [03:24] is there something as a general equalizer in Ubuntu 8.10? I fell like the sound has more bass since I switched to 8.10 [03:24] xD [03:25] rythmbox and amarok are good candidates [03:25] !appledrm? [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about appledrm? [03:25] does...anyone..know about itune [03:25] (s) [03:25] austin: listen to what we are saying! [03:25] Ward1983: yeah. So I'm seeing in there that I have two options for hard disk boot priority - my IDE and Bootable Add-in Cards [03:25] austin: iTunes is, as you've been told repeatedly, NOT AVAILABLE ON LINUX. [03:25] !itunes > austin [03:25] austin, please see my private message [03:25] austin, Itunes is not on linux [03:26] Isn't there a open source 64bit java plugin? [03:26] enovativ: it should be the previous version (mine is cm450b)of that device http://www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/listers/index.asp?id=391 [03:26] Apple drm is called FairPlay... [03:26] Ward1983: I have the IDE as the primary boot. Is there something more to it than that? [03:26] b/c apple is anti-linux, even though they are built on linux..... -.- [03:26] austin: I think it runs in wine if you really really can't go with an alternative that is in the repositories [03:26] "fair" hahhaah! [03:26] How do I change JAVA_HOME setting? It is pointed at JRE when I want to point it to JDK. [03:26] apple is anti-consumer [03:26] carandraug: it works on itunes... sometimes.... it's really bad. [03:26] jimjimhim: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:27] carandraug: how do i run it on wine? [03:27] Worst apple-joke is ALAC. Right now you are probably wondering what ALAC is. Its FLAC, only..., yes [03:27] GarthDB, maybe some setting for the IDE is not correct or something, i dunno, you could just look around for stuff like that without changing anything [03:27] austin: why do you need it soooo bad? it doesn't work well on wine... [03:27] GarthDB, also: are you sure the disk is still working>? [03:28] cause i want to charge my ipod [03:28] faj: cause i want to charge my ipod [03:28] Ward1983: I was using it earlier today. And it didn't seem to have any problems during install [03:28] austin: plugging in your ipod to the usb normally does the trick... [03:28] austin, yes, just plug in the usb [03:28] GarthDB, oh wait, that addin card [03:28] Ward1983: that's the SATA card [03:29] !players | austin; these are alternatives [03:29] austin; these are alternatives: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [03:29] austin, and it should show you its chraging [03:29] GarthDB, maybe its liek this: the mainboard wants to boot from the IDE, regardless of the settings [03:29] because of the adinn card lol [03:29] Ward1983: I think so [03:29] ok..ill try [03:29] GarthDB, maybe there are complementary settings for that somewhere [03:30] lord_hypnos: ok i found a pdf about your modem...it is just a cable modem ..no router features or anything of the sort [03:30] GarthDB, google / manual reading i would say, but still that error 21 is not normal [03:30] Ward1983: Maybe in the Card configuration, but it didn't have anything from what I could tell while poking around [03:30] oh lol..it worked. [03:30] so you can not do port forwarding using this cable modem [03:30] enovativ: ah thats not good, so I should get one? [03:30] Ward1983: It kept asking me to make an array, which I didn't really want to do [03:30] now as far as getting to the "menU' that is something that you may not really need to do since you ca not do port forwarding on just this modem [03:31] ok - how do I open the command line? [03:31] GarthDB, then maybe its in RAID mode, sorry never used those cards? [03:31] !terminal | thorin81 [03:31] thorin81: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:31] No need to do port forwarding on a bridge modem [03:31] lord_hypnos: yes you should get one i would suggest a linksys wireless router....if you have more than one machine, and what connectivity around the whole house [03:31] GarthDB, i know i can set my onboard intel controller on raid, and two other things, forgot the correct names, but one is just normal and one is compatibillity [03:31] thanks [03:31] lord_hypnos: i have two PCs, and two laptops...i use the "wireless" feature on my laptops [03:31] Ward1983: it is a Raid card, but I was assumed I could use it as a standard SATA card as well. Maybe not [03:32] GarthDB, maybe lol [03:32] Ward1983: either way it should have boot from the IDE just fine [03:32] lord_hypnos: I suggest Asus wireless router. Get something that supports custom firmware. Like tomato [03:32] enovativ: ok I'll do that, I'm gonna move soon and then there will be at least 2 pcs [03:32] GarthDB, yes [03:32] lord_hypnos: i use a Linksys SRX200 [03:32] lord_hypnos: does the job for me [03:32] so then I connect the modem to the router? [03:32] Tomato or DD-wrt [03:32] lord_hypnos: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Custom Firmware [03:32] <[ka]killer> what is the line to restart xserv from command line? [03:33] <[ka]killer> its been too long since i had to use it... [03:33] dd-wrt has a much larger community and supported hardware list [03:33] Ward1983: does an IDE hard drive have to be master or can it be slave with the CD drive as master? [03:33] [ka]killer: ctrl alt backspace? [03:33] http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices [03:33] jimjimhim: on gparted i found my external drive..but it doesn't get the option to CONVERT the drive to fat32...it say it will FORMAT to fat32 which makes me believe that i am going to lose all the data on the drive during the "format" [03:33] <[ka]killer> when xserv isnt running FAJ [03:33] lord_hypnos: DD-wrt has a history of disrespect for GPL, google brainslayer+GPL [03:33] <[ka]killer> thats where the problem started xD [03:33] Ward1983: I only have one cable and the way it is now I can't get the cable to go the other way [03:34] [ka]killer: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ? [03:34] how do I verify if my pinnacle capture card is working? lshw showed it found it http://pastebin.com/f22f1aed2 [03:34] so I should use tomato? [03:34] <[ka]killer> thanks [03:34] lord_hypnos: yes you connect your modem to the router [03:34] enovativ_, why not do a back up and then validate it. THEN you can format it =) [03:34] ooops [03:34] enovativ_, do you have a backup? [03:34] jimjimhim: no i do not have a backup.... [03:34] lord_hypnos: thats my advice. I use Oleg, but tomato is easy and intuitive. For starters thats a good choice [03:35] enovativ_, well do that first. What was it from a desktop? [03:35] jimjimhim: i know...dumb me.....but i was hoping to convert to fat32 or NTFS WITHOUT losing data [03:35] Anybody here experienced with Java-6-sun-JDK (not JRE) + Plugins?

[03:36] jimjimhim: yes it was from a desktop...it was first used on a windows box, and then it was used on a linux box..how it got "corrupted" or "converted" to be seen as "RAW" drive i have no idea [03:36] lord_hypnos: snort, nessus etc etc. [03:36] white-sheep: yes [03:36] but i thought i read some where that a "RAW" drive could be converted to FAT32 or NTFS using linux [03:36] mwhit74 --- Right-click on the ISO -- It should prompt Burn using <> Creator. Something like that. [03:36] How do I add custom packages with what looks like the command line?

[04:19] oh i thought you were looking for torrents [04:19] yes, [04:19] RSS feeds of torrents [04:19] that guy pointed you to torrent things [04:19] sara_: then follow jimjimhim and recover your pw from recovery mode; using passwd root [04:19] thorin81: then add this line "deb http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ intrepid-cafuego broadcom" <-- without the "" [04:19] wow, thats a bit strange [04:19] yah, was looking for a recommendation [04:20] not a list of what can do torrents [04:20] paradizelost, a torrent downloader with rss feed reader? or am i wrong..? [04:20] woli yes [04:20] Azureus Vuze does it, but i was looking for an alternative [04:20] carandraug: do I need to add anything else? [04:20] Hello [04:21] [04:21] <[TiZ]> Hi. I used the Alsa 1.0.18 installation script, and then reverted my changes using its -r switch. Now I don't have any sound devices. Can anyone help? [04:21] hello [04:21] thorin81: no. Something should update now and you're ready to install it. I hope it solves your problem with the broadcom adapter [04:21] paradizelost, i can't help you there then. I ignored the existance of an application with such features. I can recommend you a RSS feed reader, but not torrent, named livefeed [04:22] carandraug: what do you mean : [04:22] carandraug: "something should update"? [04:22] carandraugL [04:23] carandraug: do I need to do anything to make the update happen? [04:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/89670/ [04:23] hey is there any way I can log in as root in ubuntu without sudo? [04:23] thorin81: after you add that line to sources line, it should update the list of available packages. I'm not sure it's automatic (though I think so). Just to be safe, run "sudo aptitude update" on the terminal [04:24] xeros, "sudo passwd root" will set a root password [04:24] I'd appreciate if someone could help me - I have a pc configured as a media center. It has an internet connection via an ethernet cable hooked to a WRT54G that's been converted with DD-WRT to serve the internet for the downstairs. It works out of the box in xp so I know it works, but I don't know how to make it work in ubuntu 8.10 [04:24] you can also do the equivalent of a "su" by typing "sudo -i" [04:24] What does Gnome use for it's current sound system? Uses a library now, mostly instead of esound, right? What's that library called? [04:24] xeroz: sudo -i is the safest method [04:24] (xeros) [04:24] oh [04:24] xeroz [04:24] lol [04:25] it used to go through and you could manually edit that. but now when i do .sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is like 3 options. and thats it [04:25] guys, what's a good software to have system monitoring tools on the desktop? [04:25] I have a question about the desktop enviroment/boot splashscreen [04:25] I downloaded this usplash screen [04:26] It has a .so file in the tar.gz [04:26] I don't know how to install it, and set it so it will show that [04:26] Starnestommy: Did you get that? [04:26] Zelda1: I did, but I still have no ideas [04:27] is anyone else having the same issues? [04:27] carandraug: I get a GPG error: Signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available [04:27] when I put the 8.04 live in, it works fine. [04:27] but Im running 8.10 [04:27] !conky [04:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [04:27] What it the most appropriate directory for putting Subversion repositories on Ubuntu? /usr/share/svn/ ? [04:27] !odd_networking [04:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about odd_networking [04:28] Is it possible to join kubuntu using mib? [04:28] anyways I will try to be root in the desktop environment [04:28] Hey guys, I just loaded up ubuntu 8.04, should I upgrade to 8.10? [04:28] What does Gnome use for it's current sound system? Uses a library now, mostly instead of esound, right? What's that library called? [04:28] i have even copied xorf.conf from that version and copied it to 8.10 and it isnt working. [04:28] Psi-Jack: Pulse [04:28] Hemebond: That's not Gnome's sound library. It just CAN use it. [04:29] Hemebond: /srv/svn/ [04:29] Psi-Jack: That's the default. [04:29] jtaji: srv? [04:29] thorin81: download this http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/cafuego.gpg and on that same menu (software sources), go to the tab "authentication" and choose "Import key file...". Then choose the gpg file [04:29] Hemebond: Uh huh... I know. but it's not it's sound library it uses. THAT library uses Pulse by default, or at least in Ubuntu it does. [04:29] jtaji: Wow. Didn't know that was there. [04:29] Hemebond: indeed ;) http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM [04:29] cmd, you don't need to because you have the LTS release. (Long Term Support) [04:29] Hey guys, I just loaded up ubuntu 8.04, should I upgrade to 8.10? [04:29] FAJ: its not allowing me, bash:sara:no such file or diectory [04:29] ok I can't login as root from the Gnome Login Screen [04:29] ok thanks [04:29] no. [04:29] Im having issues with it [04:30] cmd, why would you want to? Is something not working? [04:30] sara_: Depends. Do you want current software bleeding edge at the cost of some stability, or do you want stability? [04:30] it says "Cannot Log in as System Asdministrator from this screen" [04:30] I try to renice -19 apache2 but when I run top it still shows a nice of 0. how do I do it right? [04:30] jtaji: Brilliant. Thanks. [04:30] hm, can I install 8.04 without having to reinstall everything? [04:30] Well, I'm trying to make it look really nice, and I installed the gnome-globalmenu trying to make my desktop have apple style taskbar [04:30] cmd, I would stick with 8.04 and customize from there [04:31] sara_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [04:31] Psi-Jack: i want root password reset [04:31] couldn't say it better [04:31] cmd, I can't help you on "applizing" your setup [04:31] faj tried that [04:31] carandraug: I go to the website and all I get is a page full of gibberish nothing to download. [04:31] jim, do you know what its called? to get the apple style taskbar? [04:31] sara_: oh wow. [04:31] so is there a way to actually have it let you log in as root in the Gnome Desktop Enviroment like you can in Fedora? [04:32] thorin81: the link is not a page. It's a file. Download it [04:32] cmd, I don't off the top of my head but I have heard of it. I only use KDE, Gnome and Xfce [04:32] sara_: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-change-the-root-password-in-ubuntu? [04:32] carandraug: I am going to sound like a moron... how? [04:32] ok I gotta run gnite all [04:32] night [04:32] jimjimhim, okay cool thanks I'm gonna do some more research online see if i can find it [04:32] <[TiZ]> Hi. I used the Alsa 1.0.18 installation script, and then reverted my changes using its -r switch. Now I don't have any sound devices. Can anyone help? [04:32] cmd [04:33] cmd, good luck I know its in google [04:33] xeroz, type "sudo passwd root" [04:33] and set your password [04:33] hey whats the command to see which ati drivers are installed? [04:33] thorin81: no problem. You can just open it in firefox and choose to save it as if you were saving a page. Or in the terminal with the command "wget http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/cafuego.gpg" [04:34] FAJ: looks like that MAY have worked [04:34] !noroot | tsrk xeroz [04:34] tsrk xeroz: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:34] is there something as a general equalizer in Ubuntu 8.10? I fell like the sound has more bass since I switched to 8.10 [04:34] ill reboot and check [04:34] no. what I mean is when you log in. I got the password right, you just can't log out and log in as root [04:34] sara_: ah the simple stuff ;) [04:34] in Fedora 9 however when I used it, you can [04:34] hey whats the command to see which ati drivers are installed? [04:35] carandraug: once I have imported the key what should happen? [04:35] I go to System -> Logout then I log in as Root [04:35] Pici, I didn't suggest one, but he wanted to know how to set one so I told him [04:35] will let me do it in Fedora, won't let me do it in Ubuntu [04:35] xeroz: Ubuntu isn't Fedora. Do you know how to use sudo? [04:35] yeah [04:35] thorin81: update and you should have no "Signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" problem this time [04:35] Pici, as a user it's really annoying when I ask a really specific question and people give workaround answers just because of some philosophy that people want to abide by [04:35] !root [04:35] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:36] tsrk: I was just providing an fYI. [04:36] I was just wondering if it was possible to log in as root from the start [04:36] Pici, ok, I know the risks of a root password and that is why I don't use one myself, but I'm just giving him the info he asked for [04:36] xeroz: very very very bad idea. [04:37] xeroz, they're right, you shouldn't be logging into root, especially from the GDM [04:37] yes I know that. especially if you are not careful [04:37] ok [04:37] hi all...somebody know how do backup (or better LiveCd) with ubuntu alternate version (no-desktop)? thanx [04:37] carandraug: ok - no error this time, now what? [04:37] ok now this question [04:37] FAJ: nope [04:37] I want to change my ubuntu boot screen [04:38] xeroz, change the theme? [04:38] it did something though i cant see what it did [04:38] I download this tar.gz file and it has a .so file in it. [04:38] yeah. [04:38] sara_: was your root pw ever set by you? [04:38] FAJ: yes [04:38] thorin81: now it's done. You can continue with what you're doing. WHy were you trying to add that line in first place? How did you get there? [04:39] so how do I set it so it can display that theme? [04:39] sara_: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [04:39] xeroz, I haven't actually done that myself, but from a quick search I found this: http://jayant7k.blogspot.com/2007/06/change-boot-splash-screen-ubuntu.html [04:39] *none of these are tested or garaunteed by me, or anyoneelse. [04:39] can someone help me connect to my WEP network? [04:39] carandraug: my wireless adapter is not working at the moment - cannot figure out why... [04:40] i had it working yesterday, but now wicd freezes when i attempt to connect and i would like to connect from the shell [04:40] this sounds much better than what I searched on google for. looks like im going to try it out [04:40] thorin81: but how did you got to that page? Was it some kind of how-to you were following? === sean is now known as Guest71815 [04:40] I'm trying to activate the NVIDIA drivers v177 but every time I click activate it pops up a progress bar that shows 0% and disappears, leaving the drivers unactivated.

[04:41] Is it possible to join kubuntu using mib? [04:42] mib_q6wgqr, /join #kubuntu [04:42] thorin81: I don't know why they sent you there but adding that line only adds one package so I'm guessing they wanted you to install it [04:43] how do i look up system specs in the terminal? [04:43] carandraug: so do I need to do anything else to install it? [04:43] thorin81: can you please tell me what appears when you run "aptitude search cafuego" in a terminal? [04:44] sloopy: It just forwards me here. [04:44] carandraug: nothing comes up [04:44] thorin81: yes. Adding that line only told your system of a new place to fetch programs. You didn't install anything yet [04:44] carandraug: so what do I need to install? [04:45] thorin81: what about "aptitude search b43" <-- pastebin it if it's more than one line [04:45] mib_q6wgqr, then probly not [04:46] microchip420: cat /proc/cpuinfo;cat /proc/meminfo [04:46] sweet [04:46] ty [04:46] carandraug: I get "p b43-firmware" and "i b43-fwcutter" [04:46] I have a netbook and the bottom of evolution is below the screen - any idea how I can customize the vertical size of the program?

[04:49] carandraug: ok. done. now what? [04:49] FAJ: I have no idea. He just asked me how to add a line to sources.list and then how he can install it (it's the only package on the repo he added) [04:50] carandraug: ahhh got it === baddog_ is now known as baddog [04:50] thorin81: that's it.

I have tried searching google but nothing has been able to provide solution. [04:51] carandraug: so what do I need to do to check and/or activate the wireless card? [04:51] thorin81: If whoever told you to install it could tell you more now, that would be great [04:51] thorin81: probably just reboot [04:51] what is i686 ? [04:52] carandraug: will reboot and see - thanks for the help! [04:52] jimjimhim, hey i think I figured it out, i think it's the avant window navigator [04:52] thorin81: good luck.

That's the first response I've gotten [05:04] it's an NVIDIA chipset [05:05] did you try MythTV? [05:05] Robyn_M, nice :) let me check, don't have a TV here though so cant test [05:05] what are you trying to use it for? [05:05] media center [05:05] simpleos, hes just setting up his TV out... [05:05] OK, i thought it was a capture card. [05:05] she [05:05] Robyn_M, then try mythbuntu (its using MythTV that simpleos suggested) [05:06] Robyn_M, lol sorry i didn't know [05:06] No worries [05:06] Robyn_M, is it gonna be only connected to the TV ? [05:06] or an external monitor? [05:06] Ward1983 as soon as the tv works, yes [05:06] Robb_M, plug the tv in, unplug the monitor and boot :p [05:06] Robyn_M, sorry wrong highlight [05:06] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500051 < This card. [05:07] Robyn_M, just try it :) [05:07] (unplug monitor, plug in Tv and boot) [05:08] ward1983 - TV is showing the ubuntu load bar, black and white and rolling [05:08] SHOULD autodetect: is it? [05:08] sorry typed that before i saw yours. [05:08] Robyn_M, you use PAL probably? :) [05:08] or NTSC ?

[05:13] ward1983 - I don't have a tuner/capture card, what advantages does it provide? [05:13] Robyn_M, it does all the conveniant things like automatically login, start mythtv, ... [05:14] Robyn_M, about anything most people would want on their mediacenter [05:14] Robyn_M: it's pretty much the same as Ubuntu, it only comes with the applications you'll most likely be using in amedia center installed by default [05:14] From: root [05:14] To: abhilashm86@yahoo.com [05:14] Cc: [05:14] Bcc: [05:14] Subject: hqiu [05:14] abbahi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:16] why u think so ward? [05:16] anybody? a good e-book reader/document viewer which can make the background black instead of white? [05:17] wise: i believe compiz has an option to invert the screen colors [05:17] wise: otherwise, wouldn't you have to make the foreground white instead of black also? [05:17] wise: there's a compiz plugin that makes the negative of a window. It's a workaround at least === keres is now known as keres`zzz [05:17] carandraug, is uses xfce, it uses autologin by default (i know thats not much but still) and starts mythtv automatically, etc [05:17] carandraug, a bit lighter overall i would say [05:18] i m not able to set up mutt properly,can any1 give a good guide 4r setting up [05:18] !google [05:18] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [05:18] raylu, carandraug : when I swiched to 8.04 compiz has errors and I havent fixed it...

If you are looking for a open source burner [05:37] DasEi: well what happens that makes you think it's not working? show me the exact command you are typing in on the command line [05:37] my cpufreq-info shows my CPU is at its max Ghz (2.33) but /rpoc/acpi/processors/cpu0/thorttling shows it's at 25% [05:37] DasEi: why don't you want to dist-upgrade? [05:37] raylu, ok i did, everything is drwxr-xr-x billybigrigger billybigrigger [05:37] and its definitly running at 25% telling from how slow things are running [05:37] anyone have any ideas why these values would be cnflicting ? [05:37] forces_: are you looking for a free and open-source iso burner for windows? Try Infa recorder http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ [05:38] DasEi: if you don't do a dist-upgrade, then how do you expect it to work? [05:38] and cpufreq does actually give me lower values than 2.33 sometimes... like if i unplug my power, it iwll show 2.0ghz instead, because the laptop is running on battery [05:38] so i feel like htere are two different throttling mechanisms at work [05:38] billybigrigger: that's strange... i get the feeling the line you gave me from mount was wrong [05:38] saywatmang: do you have powernowd installed? [05:38] raylu, ill do mount again and pastebin it [05:38]  onetinsoldier:I just want to reinstall my pakets from a list, so no dist-upgrade [05:38] rww, i used to, now i have cpufreqd [05:39] saywatmang one id the clock speed of your cru and the other os the utilisation of the cpu, many systems scale the systems colck speed of the cpu when on batery power to save energy [05:39] saywatmang: ah. I was wondering if maybe you have both and it was confusing things. [05:39] raylu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/89711/ [05:39] I'd believe /proc. [05:39] koshar2, which one is utilization ?

[05:41] saywatmang: if your cpu is better then a P4, you can rely on only the kernel module cpufreq_ondemand [05:41] hspaans, i've trid all the diff governers, w/ no effect [05:41] KRaZy_WaKa: yeah. That's what ubuntu tells you to use to burn the Ubuntu ISO in windows in the documentation [05:41] my process still throttles down to 25% evnetually [05:41] and then it never comes bakc up until i rebot [05:41] *processor [05:42] DasEi: so, you are going to clone what you have on this system onto another? [05:42] saywatmang: i believe /proc/cpuinfo will be % of throttled [05:43]  onetinsoldier:yes [05:43] saywatmang: what is the problem with that? if you use the right governer there should be no issue, or your cpu is P4 or worse [05:43] I have a core 2 duo [05:43] 2.33 [05:43] there should be no issue but there is [05:43] i use the performance governer, which should keep it at 100% all the time [05:43] carandraug: good call... doesn't burn copy-protected iso's though, but it really shouldnt be anyway :) [05:43] and it doesnt [05:44] once it throttles down to 25% it stays there until reboot [05:44] no matter if i have 0 programs running [05:44] and the cpu temp is super cool [05:44] DasEi: ok. then just do my commands... there is nothing to fear. dpkg --set-selection < packages ; apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade ...that will ensure that you accomplish you goal [05:44] KRaZy_WaKa: or, one could say that copy-protection really shouldn't be anyway [05:45] If I want to shrink my Windows partition, should I defrag it first?

I've always seen that calle da window decorator, I think. [06:26] raylu: any specific files?

[06:34] raylu: lol [06:34] KRaZy_WaKa: you do realize that selecting all of them won't work, right? packages conflict [06:34] onetinsoldier: yes still giving problems, and wow that was interesting, my first netsplit :D [06:35] is there a way to have 2 independent desktop resolutions on an ati card? [06:35] raylu: didnt select all of them, just quite a few, getting back what i once had on a fresh vanilla hardy install, and a few new things [06:35] riz0n: no, not much you can do really. there are log files to look at if you have them, in /var/log.... look at /var/log/messages /var/log/auth, ect [06:35] KRaZy_WaKa: it's likely that two or more of them conflict [06:35] onetinsoldier: thanks for the info. wish the hacker hadn't erased them ;) === pipcookie is now known as Sauvin [06:35] anyhow guys thanks for the info you have helped me out tremendously [06:36] How can i get ubuntu server to detect my internet connection ? [06:36] if i pastebin the apps would you give them a once over to point me in the direction of possible conflicts? [06:36] KRaZy_WaKa: perhaps you should learn to use 'aptitude' to start off with [06:36] TestingTheTest: Does your Internet connection have a DHCP server? [06:36] Riz0n, idk. [06:36] riz0n: i see.. damn hackers! [06:37] ? [06:37] lol [06:37] KRaZy_WaKa: it'd be easier if you pastebinned the output of the installation process [06:37] onetinsoldier: i really like the convenience of gui for mass installs [06:37] KRaZy_WaKa: also, what onetinsoldier said :D [06:37] Hey, does anyone here use slingbox? [06:37] * onetinsoldier gets paranoid and starts up iptraf and checks in with firestarter [06:38] KRaZy_WaKa: dpkg doesn't really like mass installs :P [06:38] shred -u file [06:38] is dpkg the backend for add/remove in applications menu? [06:38] KRaZy_WaKa: yes.. [06:38] Riz0n, i'm using a modem and a wireless router. [06:39] hi can anyone help me with this error, end-of-central-directory-signature not found? [06:39] TestingTheTest: you should be able to enter your SSID, wireless password, and be good to go [06:39] anyone here play eve-online on linux? [06:39] KRaZy_WaKa: and i hear you about the gui being very nice for mass installs. it nice because you get a great view of it all [06:39] Riz0n, what's my SSID ? [06:39] KRaZy_WaKa: that's a funny question. dpkg is the backend for apt, which is the backend for the gui tools [06:40] I_Am: no, but i've been asleep, and that's the same thing :P [06:40] I_Am: i suppose you're trying to wine it? [06:40] gpg --symmetric file to encrypt [06:40] no it has a linux version [06:40] I_Am: :O [06:40] raylu: gotta luv linux :P well technically the inner workings of any OS just more open to the user in linux [06:40] hspaans, ok all the modules are gone from lsmod, thats good, now i have to try to see if i can make it step down again [06:40] TestingTheTest: The SSID is the ID name assigned to your wireless router [06:41] saywatmang: how do you mean? [06:41] raylu: true.. i think he wanted to know what handled the actual installation of packages tho. but yeah, you're right! [06:41] hspaans, i have to max out the cpu for a while before it happens [06:41] hspaans, after every reboot it starts at 100%, but at some point it just throttles downt o 25% and stays there until i rebot [06:42] TestingTheTest: sometimes your router is named a default name, such as NETGEAR or linksys, or predefined from the factory (look on the bottom of the router for a name) or it may be a name that you have assigned it during configuration. Most the time, however, Ubuntu's network manager will show you the closest detected Wifi SSID's detected in range. Of course, this requires that your router be "broadcasting" its SSID. [06:42] hspaans, hrm ok it just stepped to 87%... so it may still be happpening [06:42] i really need to start taking notes that way when i mess my install up i don't have to rely on the support channel so much lol [06:42] Riz0n, like when Ubuntu desktop says i've connected to 'BigBear' ? [06:42] TestingTheTest: Yes [06:42] TestingTheTest: 'BigBear' would be the SSID of your Wireless Access Point. [06:42] I see. and i enter this how on ubuntu server ? [06:42] thats a sweet nick [06:42] KRaZy_WaKa: ok, raylu hit me with cluebat.. apt-get is the back end to synaptic. but dpkg handles the actuall install and uninstalling of individual packages [06:42] saywatmang: are there any cpufreq modules loaded? [06:43] onetinsoldier: *whack* [06:43] :404 not found: [06:43] Does anyone know of a way to get the Oxygen icon set from KDE4 for use on gnome? or perhaps can tell me the package name so I can get it? [06:43] raylu: hehe [06:43] onetinsoldier: but uh, that's correct [06:43] TestingTheTest: Normally you just click the network icon at the top right corner of your screen next to the system clock. If it has it listed simply click it, otherwise, click to "Connect to hidden wireless network" [06:43] hspaans, nope [06:44] hspaans, a thermal module is loaded, not sure if that does anyhting [06:44] onetinsoldier and add/remove is a "prettier" gui for synaptic application install/removal [06:44] ? [06:44] saywatmang: then you may have to check you bios [06:44] onetinsoldier: technically, apt-get is the frontend to apt :D [06:44] dpkg handles dependencies too [06:44] Riz0n, i'm talking about Ubuntu Server. i'm fine on Ubuntu Desktop. [06:44] saywatmang: it may the the system is scaling back because the cpu gets to hot [06:44] raylu: man... my head spins [06:44] hspaans, bios is useless, it allows me to turn off speestep, but that automatically leaves the cpu in the lowest state [06:44] TestingTheTest: If I'm not mistaken you use iwconfig [06:45] There is no single "apt" program; apt is itself the package name containing the set of tools (and requiring the libraries) that support its functionality. A significant part of apt is a C++ library of functions (another package known as libapt) which are used by these related front-end programs for dealing with packages, such as apt-get and apt-cache. [06:45] hspaans, yea thats probly what it is, but i was assumng that was controlled by software [06:45] Neurologic http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Refit?content=74900 [06:45] pulse audio is being a bad little monkey towards me [06:45] onetinsoldier: perhaps i should hit it with the cluebat in the other direction? === cesar_ is now known as Guest74121 [06:45] raylu: rofl! [06:45] Is there an MS Paint clone for linux? === jeek is now known as _jeek [06:45] saywatmang: that part is controlled by hardware, but you should see that in the messages file [06:45] TestingTheTest: but I'm not exactly sure what you need to enter. Just out of curiosity, does your AP have a password? [06:45] hspaans, ok it is aciting diffenrtly though now, when I stop eating CPU, the throttling slowly goes back up towards 100% where it didnt do that before [06:45] qr: try tuxpaint [06:45] qr: imagemagick and graphicsmagick for simple image transforms, gimp for drawing [06:46] hspaans, /var/log/messages ? [06:46] saywatmang: jups [06:46] Riz0n, i'm getting 'no wireless extensions.' ... yes my wireless router has a pass. [06:46] koshar2, doh! Thanks! I looked right over it because it was called refit, I figured it was some sort of re-design of it [06:46] no i just saw it go from 50% to 62% and no message [06:46] hspaans, ^ [06:46] raylu: gimp is too heavy for what I want to do. I just want to do simple pixel sketches. [06:46] KRaZy_WaKa: I'll try that === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [06:46] hspaans, im wtaching /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling btw [06:47] hi all, i am facing the problem of low microphone capture volume, how can it be resolved? [06:47] hspaans, but this is def an improvment, because it acutally returns to 100%, before it stayed at 25% forever until reboot === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:47] saywatmang: you may want to check your hardware it sounds like there may be something wrong with the airflow [06:48] hspaans, yea im gonna try and dust it today [06:49] saywatmang: it appears to be scaling when your cpu isn't running halt-instructions to lower the power and temp [06:49] TestingTheTest: iwconfig device_name essid [06:49] how can I start pulseaudio outside of gnome? My sound works in gnome, but when I use a different desktop environment sound doesn't work because pulseaudio isn't running [06:50] hspaans, yea...im guessing its a temp issue [06:50] Hey ppl, having trouble with Blank DVDs [06:50] all other DVDs and CDs work, but for some reason, when I put blank ones in, nothing happens [06:50] and my burning program doesnt see them either [06:50] saywatmang: ok and see you later, gone get some sleep [06:51] hspaans, ok i really appreicate all the help [06:51] Win2Ubuntu: do you have a dvd burner? [06:51] saywatmang: np [06:51] yes [06:51] KRaZy_WaKa: hmm, tuxpaint is still a bit "fancier" than what I'm looking for. Any other ideas? [06:51] tyler_d same disks work fine in the same machine under windows boot [06:51] clearly an Ubuntu issue [06:52] Win2Ubuntu: clearly... however I have never heard of that happening.... [06:52] raylu: could it be because i selected the ubuntu hardy open office components for removal and openoffice.org office suite for installation? [06:52] there's lots of bug posts about it [06:52] but no resolutions [06:52] qr: not off hand [06:52] KRaZy_WaKa: there should be more details when you try to install about what's broken [06:52] anyone? mic low volume problem? solution anyone? [06:52] KRaZy_WaKa: ok, thanks anyway [06:53] DasEi: hello... how's it going with the package cloning? [06:53] qr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=446780 [06:53] i dunno where to even start really. coz its reading all other types of DVDs, like ones ive burned, movie ones, data ones, but just not blanks [06:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/220957 in fact [06:55] njk123|nowhere in sound settings i can set it up easy so my keyboard controls mic boost... you tried that/ [06:55] raylu: says installation and removal of software failed... there has been a problem during the installation or removal of the following pieces of software... followed by a list of the affected programs [06:55] KRaZy_WaKa: that list would help :D [06:55] KRaZy_WaKa: along with the specific messages [06:55] raylu: thats after i close the error about fixing broken packages [06:55] KRaZy_WaKa: so would doing things in smaller batches [06:56] no other information just the app names and the short form description of the app === circs is now known as Circs [06:57] whats weirder about this problem is that ive burned stuff before [06:57] and that it's just stopped working recently [06:57] just rebooted ubuntu and trying to open firefox but its saying theres a process of firefox already running. did a ps aux|grep firefox but couldnt find the process. any ideas? [06:57] KRaZy_WaKa: by the way, how are you selecting so many packages anyway? i imagine it'd be painful doing it over and over [06:57] hey all i have a bit of an issue... 8.10 is not reading my bat [06:57] raylu: that was very helpful, thanks. xpaint is just what I need. [06:57] qr: <3 google [06:57] pvaldez09: 8.10 doesn't like bats very much :P [06:58] lol, I have a ridiculous question [06:58] raylu: is there anything i can do ? [06:58] "add/remove..." bottom of the applications menu, ubuntu hardy [06:58] How am I to get around the fact I have a space in a folder name, when using like cp or move? [06:58] pvaldez09: um... that was a joke. what's a bat? [06:58] mv* [06:58] raylu: battery [06:58] Neurologic: "foo bar" or foo\ bar [06:58] NeuralVictuals; mv file/ name [06:58] Neurologic: or tab completion [06:58] bastid_raZor: other way :P [06:58] NeuralVictuals; err.. \ [06:59] raylu: and hit retry after i tried the broken package fixes [06:59] pvaldez09: oh. no idea :P [06:59] anyone know how i can fix 8.10 not wanting to read my battery [06:59] KRaZy_WaKa: right... but you said there were a lot of packages. how are you choosing them every time? [06:59] raylu, would doing cd ./ work? [07:00] I'm experiencing a rather massive delay sshing INTO an ubuntu (hardy) box on my local network. The only solutions I found on the web were for ssh delays FROM ubuntu. [07:00] Neurologic: ...? [07:00] Neurologic; no ./ tries to run a file [07:00] DHowett: what ssh client? [07:00] raylu: openssh [07:00] bastid_raZor: not if you prepend cd [07:00] DHowett: ssh -v [07:00] how can I start pulseaudio outside of gnome? My sound works in gnome, but when I use a different desktop environment sound doesn't work because pulseaudio or something related to it isn't running [07:00] DHowett: (or whatever the verbose option is; i forget) [07:00] jbmigel: i dont have a control for it on the keyboard [07:01] also there is no mic boost option in the sound settings [07:01] njk123|nowhere: messed with alsamixer yet? [07:01] raylu: The long delay appears to be between SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT and the list of accepted authentication modes [07:01] raylu; true, again. [07:01] raylu, well see I'm confused because it wont even let me CD to that because it doesn't count the space, you know what I mean? [07:01] just rebooted ubuntu and trying to open firefox but its saying theres a process of firefox already running. did a ps aux|grep firefox but couldnt find the process. any ideas? [07:01] fryguy: you can start it from the command line. The command is pulseaudio :) (might want to read the man page to check what options you can give it. -D is handy) [07:01] Neurologic: DHowett perhaps the machine is very busy... high latency. have you run a top on it? or perhaps vmstat? [07:01] raylu: here was my exact course of action: went to applications menu > add/remove... selected all available applications from drop down menu... went through everything to check the apps i wanted for installation and it gave me the error Could not apply changes! fix broken packages first. did synaptic > edit > fix broken packages hit retry in add/remove, same error... did sudo apt-get install -f in terminal as well as sud [07:01] raylu tried everything in alsamixer [07:02] qr: that command is running [07:02] qr: it's something else [07:02] onetinsoldier: Yep, already verified. There's practically nothing running on it. [07:02] DHowett: i believe there's a way to edit your ssh client's handling of hosts to force it into an authentication mode [07:02] Neurologic; what is the folder name? [07:02] bastid_raZor, /home/neuro/Documents/Ubuntu Looks [07:02] njk123|nowhere if you open the speaker in the top right and edit prefernces... you can add mic boost to that control [07:02] Neurologic: sorry, that wasn't meant for you [07:02] centr0: this is a long shot, but try pgrep firefox [07:02] Neurologic; cd ~/Documents/Ubuntu\ Looks/ [07:02] onetinsoldier, I gathered =) No problem, I'm used to it [07:02] Neurologic: yes... we've already given you 3 solutions to get there, though [07:03] DHowett: roger.. i have no idea then. i've never done much remote stuff [07:03] onetinsoldier: ah, thanks anyway :) [07:03] fryguy: well that's the pulseaudio daemon... [07:03] Why is my webcam that works fine on windows grainy and dark on Ubuntu? [07:03] raylu, didn't understand what you meant =P However, bastid_raZor's example made a lot of sense [07:03] DHowett: you're not using kerberos or anything, are you? how do you intend to authenticate anyway? [07:03] bastid_raZor, thanks! =) [07:03] !tab | Neurologic [07:03] Neurologic: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:03] qr: right, refer to my original question. pulseaudio or something related to it isn't running, and i'm not sure what it is I need to start [07:03] raylu: keyfile. Not using kerberos (disabled in sshd_config) [07:04] Neurologic; tab is your best friend when using command line [07:04] DasEi: hello... how's it going with the package cloning? [07:04] fryguy: afaik there are know related programs that need to be run. Maybe you have a config problem? [07:04] qr: like i said, it works when i am in gnome [07:04] lil heelp? [07:04] does Intrepid suck? should I go to something else? ive had nothing but grief with it? [07:04] raylu, bastid_raZor, oh! wow! O_O Thanks! [07:04] raylu: thanks, but that didnt do it :( [07:04] its the bug i say in forums [07:05] it hasnt been solved yet [07:05] :( [07:05] DHowett: are you complaining about the pause in ssh logins on debian based systems? [07:05] can someone help me with x264 & ffmpeg, everyone in those channel is dead for the past 4 hours [07:05] DHowett: i wonder what happens if you disable password-based authentication on the server [07:05] fryguy: ... Wait, it's well-known? Yes, actually.. [07:05] DHowett: turn off gssapi in your ~/.ssh/config [07:05] raylu: I was just about to try that :) [07:05] fryguy: Already off [07:06] Hello. Is there a specific sub-channel for sound problems? I have an unknown playback error. (Same with recording, but one thing at a time.) [07:06] raylu: when i close "Could not apply changes! fix broken packages first." error, it brings up "installation and removal of software failed... there has been a problem during the installation or removal of the following pieces of software... followed by a list of the affected programs" error message with following buttons at bottom "retry" "add/remove more software" "close" this is where i would hit retry after doing syna [07:06] DHowett: hold on, let me find my .ssh/config on a machine that i've already fixed this on [07:06] Why is my webcam that works fine on windows grainy and dark on Ubuntu? [07:06] I think that Ubuntu is not running real-time image enhancement on the webcam. [07:06] raylu: Nope [07:07] I might be wrong, though... it's not an area of expertise for me. [07:07] DDR_: anyway to fix this? [07:07] anyone wiht any ideas why Intrepid seems to not want to read blank DVDs [07:07] I don't have a webcam for ubuntu, so I am not sure how to solve it. [07:07] DDR_ forget webcam. i tried [07:07] Win2Ubuntu; are you on a fresh install? [07:07] DHowett: you can also set the logging level on the sshd to debug [07:08] what i dont understand is, i dl'ed and compiled today's snapshot of x264, now when i svn ffmpeg, and try to compile it, it says "ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.65." [07:08] no bastid_raZor [07:08] I just remember having the effect in windows, toggling the enhance effects on and off. [07:08] !sound | DDR_ [07:08] DDR_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[07:08] raylu: Ah.. i tried VERBOSE but couldn't find anything (or where it was going, for that matter) [07:08] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [07:08] It works SOMETIMES.

Im not really sure how to explain it. Im looking for a modern one, I think emacs is one, but I also think its pretty old. [07:09] Less and less often as the weeks roll by. [07:09] fryguy: Also, /home/dustin/.ssh/config line 21: Unsupported option "GSSAPIAuthentication" [07:09] DHowett: /var/log/ssh..something [07:09] DDR_: ubottu is a bot :P [07:09] DHowett: GSSAPIAuthentication no and PreferredAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive,password [07:10] DHowett: i used that on every debian based system i run and it makes logins go faster than default [07:10] bastid_raZor: yup got em [07:10] Ah, did not know. [07:10] its so weird how it just would stop working [07:10] works totally find in my windows boot, so not hardware === divinebovine is now known as holycow [07:10] \Kira: It sounds like you're looking for syntax hilighting? I believe gedit does that, and is pretty lightweight. You could also try kdevelop. (Although you really should use emacs :P) [07:11] Win2Ubuntu are you running a modified kernel? [07:11] no [07:11] fryguy: Ah.. no GSSAPIAuthentication support here and the preferredauthentications addition didn't help. I'm not sure if the well-known problem covers sshing from a non-debian system to a debian system.. which is where I'm seeing this slowness.. instead of the other way around [07:11] I want to find out if the hp mini 1000 is compatible with ubuntu, where can I find this? I've tried to ubuntu wiki but I must be doing it wrong... [07:11] im not that clever [07:11] i dont know how to do those sorts of things [07:11] im just a basic user really who wants to do basic things...like burn a cd [07:11] Circs: I imagine it is.. those netbooks are mostly all the same, and many come with linux on them already [07:11] DHowett: it works both ways. I ssh back and forth between systems at find speeds [07:11] qr: gedit is lightweight? hah === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [07:11] Win2Ubuntu heh [07:11] <\Kira> qr: syntax hilighting is what I wanted :) Why would you recommend emacs, out of curiosity? [07:11] fryguy: hmm.. then meh.. thanks :) [07:11] \Kira: modern != good [07:12] raylu: it is for a gui editor [07:12] qr: i'd recommend vim right now, but that might not be such a good idea [07:12] er [07:12] i love how stable and secure Ubuntu is but i hate the absolute drama you have to go through to get just even the most basic things working [07:12] \Kira; vim is a great cli editor pull is has a tutorial on how to use it [07:12] DHowett: I'd lie t now for sure, because I'm going to buy the aspire one if not. [07:12] \Kira: i'd recommend vim right now, but that might not be such a good idea [07:12] s/pull/plus [07:12] \Kira: because it has 20some odd years of work put into it by people who are very serious about their text editor [07:12] Win2Ubuntu you dont get any errors in dmesg or anything when it tries to mount the blank? [07:12] qr: emacs/vim running in xterm is lighter :D [07:12] nope nothing just doesnt work [07:12] Circs: The aspire one is a beautiful little machine, I must say. Ubuntu eee runs nicely on it, from what I've seen.. but I ended up crafting my own distro modification to throw on it. [07:12] raylu: don't worry, I'm not an emacs zellot, I'm one of the rare people who use both [07:13] and when i try to burn in nautilus, it just goes, please insert a bland kvd [07:13] Win2Ubuntu; have you tried to burn in brasero? [07:13] yup, thats always been useless [07:13] <\Kira> raylu, qr, bastid_raZor: I think ill go with kdevelop, since im running kde. Mabye ill try porting to vim or mabye even emacs once I get comfy with programming. Thanks for the recommendations [07:14] Win2Ubuntu maybe your media is bunk [07:14] DHowett: You sounds more capable than me. I really just want it to work without too much trouble. [07:14] no way [07:14] Win2Ubuntu: what is it that you need to burn? [07:14] tried it in my dual boot, works fine [07:14] tried other media, same [07:14] just a movie [07:14] \Kira: kdevelop is an ide, vim is a text editor [07:14] \Kira; you have vim regardless of kubuntu or ubuntu.. [07:14] Circs: Ah.. In that case, I'd suggest one that comes with Linux.. It'll be a lot less of a headache in the long run :) [07:14] Win2Ubuntu: try dvdrecord; it's a cli tool [07:14] <\Kira> raylu: ide? [07:14] does anyone know if its possible to bind a keystroke to change your resolution (like giong to system -> preferences -> screen resolution) [07:14] \Kira: integrated development environ [07:14] Win2Ubuntu: try checking /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log might want to run tail on them when you're trying you dvd's. example... tail -f /var/log/messages [07:15] !vim | \Kira [07:15] \Kira: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [07:15] Circs: you want it to... "Just work"? [07:15] anyone know a way to kill a process that doesnt show up is ps or pgrep? id search on it but firefox is the problem says its already running and i need to close it. :( [07:15] k thanks, i gotta run tho [07:15] centr0; have you tried killall firefox [07:15] raylu: Yeah, i'm kind of a whimp [07:15] <\Kira> raylu, bastid_raZor: ah, I see. I would perfer graphical, so I think ill go with kate (if it has syntax hililighting [07:15] centr0: it probably left a lock file somewhere if it's not in ps axu or top [07:15] bastid_raZor: that wouldn't do anything :P [07:15] centr0: search around in /var [07:16] centr0: try moving .mozilla [07:16] qr: why would firefox leave a lock in /var? [07:16] centr0, I would try "ps aux | grep firefox" [07:16] \Kira: it does [07:16] Is there any way to set the video-out as the primary display device? [07:16] raylu: lots of things put lock files in var [07:16] <\Kira> raylu: Thanks :) [07:16] If the onboard video is stuffed? [07:16] Circs: get a mac. linux doesn't "just work," there's no such thing. linux works for you [07:16] qr: er... don't users not have write access to /var? [07:17] Hemebond: is the video-out PCI or what? [07:17] raylu: That's kind of rude. I'm willing to work a bit, but I can't write my own drivers just yet. [07:17] thanks guys, raylu: moving .mozilla worked? can you explain why? [07:17] Circs: sorry; i just don't like the phrase "just work" :P [07:17] raylu: my /var/lock is 777 and I don't think I would have changed that manually [07:17] centr0: no. but firefox is screwy [07:18] centr0: and in the last 2 days, it has solved some very very strange issues [07:18] ziroday: It's a laptop. [07:18] Hemebond: erm, perhaps I am misunderstanding. When you say video-out you mean what? [07:18] qr: it...shouldn't be [07:18] thanks. [07:19] ziroday: i think he means external monitor [07:19] Hemebond: do you mean the laptop monitor is broken and you want to use an externel monitor? [07:19] raylu: No worries, my pride is intact, it's just I don't have the kernel tattooed on my chest. :) [07:19] ziroday: The VGA output port on the back. Basically the laptop screen is stuffed, and we are having trouble getting things to use the external monitor. Currently using Knoppix, but X fails. Downloading Ubuntu right now to try that. [07:19] morning all [07:19] Circs: of course not; you'd have to get a new tatoo every few months [07:20] raylu: Yah.... ow [07:20] Hemebond: okay. well ubuntu should appear on both screens [07:20] Hemebond: xrandr [07:20] ziroday: Assuming X starts. [07:20] raylu: Do you where I can look to see if it works ok though? [07:20] raylu: oh really? I've always thought /var/lock was The Place To Put Lock Files (TM), although it seems that only apache is using it on my machine, so I may be wrong. [07:20] Hemebond: of course :), however you should get a terminal on both screens/monitors. [07:21] ziroday: Yeah, we have a terminal already. [07:21] ziroday: The user is not used to Linux or CLI though. [07:21] qr: apache starts as root [07:21] Circs: http://www.linlap.com/, amongst others [07:21] Hemebond: okay, what video card do you have? [07:21] Circs: if in doubt, get a thinkpad :D [07:22] Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 in an HP Pavillion DV9000 [07:22] Hemebond: sounds like you're asking for the impossible [07:22] raylu: I think so. [07:22] Hemebond, i had a friend with a similar problem, laptop screen went out and he had an external hd monitor hooked up to it and ubuntu booted up and worked through the external monitor [07:23] raylu: I'm hoping Ubuntu has better support for the network though, so we can at least get data off it via another machine. [07:23] Hemebond: oh wait. X fails on knoppix... i thought the problem was that it was outputting to the lcd screen [07:23] Hemebond: okay, so you have a nvidia card that you want to go the external monitor correct? [07:23] and it is an HP laptop not sure of model though came with xp from OEM [07:23] Hemebond: if it tried to start, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should be helpful [07:23] raylu: X fails and the laptop screen is bright white. [07:24] raylu: Yeah, tried to get that but without a network connection to it, the user has to move the monitor between the laptop and the workstation because she can't putty to it. [07:24] raylu: She only has one monitor. [07:24] hemebond: he's currently running vista on it due to some issues with verizon vcast with rhapsody not running under linux and it works fine [07:24] KRaZy_WaKa: It has Windows XP on it, but we can't get into it because of the firewall. [07:24] Hemebond: hrm.. i've experienced that pain countless times [07:26] hemebond: well with windows issues i go with when in doubt reformat lol... if she has nothing to be backed up on the system that should do it [07:26] KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah, she has data she wants to get off. === patchman is now known as patchi01 [07:26] If I can at least get the thing to see the network, I can help her get her files off it. [07:27] wowa there is a lot of people in here [07:27] Hemebond: no ethernet connections? [07:27] hemebond have you tried networking it with another windows pc? or pull the hard drive and set it up as slave on another windows system then you could pull the files and save them to another hard drive, then reboot her win OS [07:27] everything is based on ethernet connections [07:28] there is 1 220 people in here. i can't belive that [07:28] ziroday: Yeah, it gives itself a 127.0 address, and the router doesn't see it at all. [07:28] HackfestAZ480: it get's up to nearly 1500 sometimes [07:28] 1221 [07:28] hmm [07:28] heh [07:28] big channel [07:29] now 1220 [07:29] ;) [07:29] KRaZy_WaKa: When it boots into Windows it's completely inaccessible. [07:29] Hemebond what happened to it! loses both the nic and lcd at once? [07:29] Hey im having trouble in VMWare Workstation 6.5.1, im trying to run Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas, and well everything installs fine and i have DX9.0C but when i run the game the graphics are out of wack... ive also tried setting everything to low, it did not work. can any1 help me out ? [07:29] jbmigel: The display is stuffed, but I suspect the lack of network is lack of Linux support for the device. [07:29] hemebond: my friend had the external monitor work fine during install with xp but once it went to first run wizard the external monitor was inaccesible [07:29] Blip: good luck [07:29] lol [07:29] lol good luck ?... [07:29] Hemebond: hmm? When you're connected to ethernet by a default ubuntu install it should assign you an IP address unless you have some odd router settings [07:29] ive tried everything.. [07:30] anyone using frame realay at home ? LMao [07:30] lol my luck has run out. [07:30] yea, i wouldn't rely on a emulated OS [07:30] to play games [07:30] wine perhaps but [07:30] KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah, same thing here. Displays during boot, then goes blank. And fn+key cycling doesn't work. [07:30] well wine works GTA SA flawlessly. [07:30] frame relay is fast [07:30] same for CSS [07:30] packet switching [07:30] technology [07:30] hemebond what about remote desktop through ubuntu on another computer? [07:31] Blip: GTA:SA will not work in vmware currently. [07:31] ziroday: Right now it's in Knoppix. Still downloading Ubuntu. And yes, it should be able to get an IP. [07:31] but i need sa-mp ( san andreas multiplayer) so i thought id try VMWare pro. [07:31] im going to start using frame relay [07:31] some day [07:31] KRaZy_WaKa you need network for that [07:31] it works Ziroday, but the graphics are out of wack.. [07:31] hemebond i suppose that may keep you with the firewall issue [07:31] Blip: right, as virtualization cannot do 3D graphics, and it will not work no matter what you try [07:31] raylu: TY, it's not listd there but that's a much more exhaustive than any I'v found yet. [07:32] hey all, anyone know why my 'System-Administration-Shared Folders would go missing? [07:32] well thats messed up... lol i check the settings and it has 3D Graphic acceleration... so.. its a false ?? [07:32] mkquist: its been replaced with right click -> share this folder [07:32] anyone know what the keyboard cmd for lock screen? [07:32] KRaZy_WaKa: When it boots into Linux, X fails, but the CLI is visible on the monitor. [07:32] windows + L [07:32] Hello, I am creating a launcher for my main menu but I am not able to get the ICON of the app - how do I find/extract and applications ICON? [07:32] Blip: VMWARE is really designed for servers... [07:33] ziroday: missing too... [07:33] ahh [07:33] HackfestAZ480 who cares how fast your packets are switched on a home network [07:33] She's found an IP address. [07:33] and generlized testing [07:33] Blip: accelerating very little is still little :) [07:33] Getting her to start SSH. [07:33] of OS's [07:33] ok thank you, but one more thing, do you think Visual Basic 6 ? [07:33] *Working* [07:33] mkquist: tried on a folder or file? [07:33] hemebond: when windows flubs i've always pulled the hard drive and put it in another win PC and did some major digging to get my personal files off it then reinstalled the HDD in the original computer and reinstall windows... never had a problem with that method although i've always done desktop PCs laptop could prove to be a pain [07:34] ziroday: yep, its missing there too... [07:34] KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah. If it was a desktop it wouldn't be such a problem. [07:34] mkquist: If you right click on a folder you should see "Sharing Options" === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement [07:34] quick question anyone have linkage to ubuntu's eglish forum? [07:35] Does anyone know if Visual Basic 6 would work in VMware ? [07:35] hi there [07:35] Leewang: http://ubuntuforums.org [07:35] thanky [07:35] hi [07:35] anyone know what the keyboard cmd for lock screen? [07:35] Blip: it will work. [07:35] but if you have a desktop with SATA connections (laptop should be SATA) the hard part would be taking apart the laptop lol [07:35] yes [07:35] gizmo: ctrl + l? [07:35] ziroday: Fully working ? [07:35] ziroday: nope, no sharing options anywhere, I've been at this for a coupla days now [07:35] gizmo: special +l [07:35] icons? [07:35] anyone know about icons? [07:35] Hemebond you know thats an hp dv9000 you said? i bet its hard drive is sata and you can just plug it into a desktop?? [07:36] what is speacial? [07:36] hi [07:36] Blip: as long as nothing graphically intensive [07:36] i am using kate... when i press tab say 5 times the cursor moves forward and then when i press enter it comes to the beginning of the next line.....how can i make the cursor to come just vertically below instead of the beginning of next line ? [07:36] mkquist: which version of ubuntu? [07:36] what is the key for special? [07:36] tahty means [07:36] thought its ctrl+alt+l [07:36] gizmo: windows key [07:36] Ok, what about 2D Graphics ? could they possible be supported ? [07:36] ziroday: Heron [07:36] like tiny sprites for 2D MMORPG creation. [07:36] Blip: 2D is supported [07:37] anybody ? [07:37] alright, thanks :) [07:37] jbmigel: We've got an IP now. Just trying to Putty to it. Worst comes to worst, she'll yank the drive. [07:37] naya onumeea puiyala da venaikala [07:37] thanks bexamous [07:37] mkquist: open up a terminal and type in "shares-admin" [07:37] ok [07:37] the otherday i wasted money getting things i already had and couldnt use it all, this gave me an idea for a database with three/four lists/componants one with what i have in the cupboard, one with recipies i can make with those thing i have catagrised by time to make and prepare and the number of people that recipe serves, a third list of things i need to make that stuff i cannot make say if i want scones but am out of flour. [07:37] .. this database must use google or the bbc website to find recipe's any way of doing that using open office [07:37] silv3r_m00n: if no one here knows, you could try #kde. just a thought/suggestion [07:37] silv3r moon: hit enter to go to next line then tab out? [07:38] Under system-keyboard settings you can look at list of hotkeys, or edit them [07:38] tell me how to connect blueetooth [07:38] ok probly stupid question but when signing up for forum it has a box called random question and ask's "what colour is orange"? do they want the word orange or the html code for orange? [07:38] KRaZy_WaKa: is there no setting which can bring the cursor just below [07:38] ziroday-well now that brought up the gui for file shares... [07:38] vertically [07:38] ------half asleep [07:38] in windows many editors have this [07:38] Leewang: probably just "orange" [07:38] thanks [07:38] Leewang: but yeah...that's a bad filter [07:38] silv3r moon: search the help file for tabstops [07:38] lol no kidding [07:38] Leewang: mine was better: [07:38] sara_ thats a wicked question... im going to go with.... yes! === bvalek2 is now known as bvalek2LovesNara [07:39] what was it? [07:39] tabstops... let me check [07:39] Leewang: to keep all bots out of this website, please show that P = NP below [07:39] i say about internet connectivity [07:39] hy [07:39] lol [07:39] What does Gnome use for it's current sound system? Uses a library now, mostly instead of esound, right? What's that library called? [07:39] mkquist: right, and that does what you want? [07:39] And [07:39] Psi-Jack: PulseAudio [07:39] jbmigel: how? [07:39] In kate, under tools -> indention [07:39] silv3r moon: i believe thats what they're called anyway if memory serves correctly [07:39] ziroday: Seriously, you're wrong. === bvalek2LovesNara is now known as bvalek2 [07:39] can anyone say to me what is good between adblock plus and no script? [07:39] ziroday: I think so, thank you [07:39] by default is none, pick another style [07:39] thats the best you'll get [07:39] i am a bit of a noob [07:39] Circs: my experience with hps on both windows and linux has not been good [07:39] ziroday: PulseAudio is not Gnome's sound system. That's Ubuntu's choice of sound system to use WITH Gnome. [07:40] Psi-Jack: erm what exactely are you looking for? [07:40] my arrow keys no longer work in wolf3d running in dosbox, any clue as of why? pressing ctrl+f1 and clicking the corresponding arrow keys reveals that they are mapped properly [07:40] Hemebond: sshd running? [07:40] ziroday: The library which Gnome uses as it's standard API these days to play sounds. [07:40] watch some more cisco videos [07:40] KRaZy_WaKa: where can i get that now ? [07:40] ziroday: The one it uses to determine what sound outputs to provide. [07:40] sara_ you got me... you should probably start by itemizing all the stuff in your cupboards [07:40] Psi-Jack: woops sorry misread that, I doubt GNOME has thier own sound system. Are you thinking about GStreamer? === bvalek2 is now known as bvalek2MarriesNa [07:40] Psi-Jack: haha. you just used the word "standard" and "sound" in the same sentence [07:40] ziroday: No, they do. [07:41] raylu: I know.. I know.... === bvalek2MarriesNa is now known as BelaMarriesNara [07:41] raylu: Yeap. Trying to find the user account information now though/ === BelaMarriesNara is now known as bvalek2 [07:41] raylu: i am currently running an HP dual-booted XP and Hardy on separate drives surprisingly smooth was really worried about ubuntu having driver issues on it [07:41] Psi-Jack: so GStreamer was not the one? [07:41] KRaZy_WaKa: how do i get my eclipse icon to show up on the custom launcher i made in the main menu [07:41] silv3r_m00n: Tools -> Indention -> Normal [07:41] ziroday: No, that's another subprocess subsidiary. [07:41] ziroday: Take for example.... [07:41] bexamous: i just did it [07:41] i want it to search the net for recipe's that are veggie or for lactose intollerant people etc [07:41] but it didnt work [07:41] KRaZy_WaKa: 1:11:09 Circs> I want to find out if the hp mini 1000 is compatible with ubuntu, where can I find this? I've tried to ubuntu wiki but I must be doing it wrong... [07:42] mc does not delete any more a file using the F8 key. Error message: "When executing »/home/detlef/.bin/insertxyz« an error occurred. Child process »/home/detlef/.bin/insertxyz« could not be executed. (No such file or directory)." A directory /home/detlef/.bin does not exist. How to troubleshoot? [07:42] ziroday: KDE uses phonon for it's new library to interface a common K-based API for sound. [07:42] ziroday: Gnome has something similar, I believe started with a T [07:42] Baz_1: cant help ya there [07:42] silv3r_m00n: doesn't work at all? Its working for me with the kde4's kate... tab 5 times hit enter and its auto indented [07:43] KRaZy_WaKa: ok [07:43] Psi-Jack: well thats it then sorry, only GNOME specific library type thingy I know of is Telepathy starting with a T [07:43] bexamous: i am on kde3.5 [07:43] silv3r_m00n: if no one here knows, you could try #kde. just a thought/suggestion [07:43] silv3r_m00n have you checked for like 'autoindent' property [07:43] onetinsoldier: Ummm.. Why? This is a Gnome question. [07:44] silv3r_m00n: oh wait, the file type matters-- if I'm editing a .sh file it works, but if i just create a new empty document it doesn;t work [07:44] jbmigel: where is this setting [07:44] Psi-Jack: oh, sorry. i thought he was stillasking about kate in kde.. my bad [07:44] jbmigel: of autoident ? [07:44] bexamous: i am working with php js and html fiels [07:44] it doesnt work on any [07:44] o if still wondering to lock screen defult on mine is cntrl alt l [07:45] and Circs: i didnt check for compatability myself just dove in... if you dont have a spare hard drive to just dive into ubuntu on your HP back up your personal files to some sort of external memory then install ubuntu on your system if it isnt compatible you can reinstall the OEM OS [07:45] silv3r_m00n i dont know if there is one im kde4... why dont you explore kate a little [07:45] hi [07:45] Anyway. [07:45] ultimately my problem is this: [07:45] hey guys can i start app without show the main window? [07:45] hey mervin man long time never see! [07:45] jbmigel: i tried all options and settings [07:45] but cudnt get this feature to work [07:45] System Sounds and events do not work on Gnome now, because I no longer use ALSA or PulseAudio. I use OSS. [07:45] im new [07:45] silv3r_m00n: it might be old kate odesn't have it, kde4 is defintley working fine for me [07:45] the thing is that pressing tabs manually to preserve identation is wasting time [07:45] Gnome uses SOMETHING to determine how to play these system sounds, and it's underlying on that API I am talking about. [07:46] to just trying linux [07:46] Ubuntu made a script, gdmplay for GDM to have a non-api-wrapped player which uses aplay. [07:46] Psi-Jack: i think you'd better look back at who i was addressing. he is still asking about kde and kate [07:46] onetinsoldier: Okay, but I'm not interested in KDE at all right now. [07:46] * onetinsoldier hits Psi-Jack with a large trout [07:47] silv3r_m00n d00d i just googled and it said there is 'indentation' under settings... you say thats no help eh? [07:47] but i've run ubuntu hardy on my a305w desktop (current) on my old compaq 5000series and helped a friend to install ubuntu on an HP laptop that originally came with winXP (dont know for sure the model of it) and had no problem til i decided to mess with stuff [07:47] jbmigel: what is the name of the setting [07:47] silv3r_m00n: autoindent should be in kate options... click tools in the menu bar [07:47] silv3r_m00n: also, #kubuntu [07:47] good bye [07:47] i am using kate 2.5.10 [07:47] silv3r_m00n indentation [07:47] I have an odd problem. Anyone willing to help? (it involves the install of a custom-ish 7.04) [07:47] i cant see anything called autoidentation [07:47] !anyone | SuperCrackMunkey [07:47] SuperCrackMunkey: 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? [07:47] anyone know how to set a launcher's icon to match the executable - why isnt that default behaviour? [07:48] Baz_1: executables have no icons :D [07:48] Circs: also if you download and burn the ubuntu ISO you can run it as a live OS which doesnt affect your existing OS or files [07:48] jbmigel: bexamous: hi it worked this time .... from tools> identation > normal ........ [07:48] raylu: where do the icons that show up come from [07:48] but didnt work when changed from configure kate [07:48] raylu: if i simply download a prog for example [07:48] silv3r_m00n nice well at least you found it [07:48] lol, because it seems rather busy in here :P Here goes: The installer tells me I don't have a / partition even when I have it set. The first error it gives it just a bunch of question marks. [07:48] Baz_1: various places. some pacakages have associated graphics [07:49] maybe applied only to new files [07:49] Circs: if the live OS version works and you like it you can double-click the install icon on the desktop to install ubuntu, one of ubuntu's best features i think [07:49] * scifiguy using intrepid in my toyota, Oh what a feeling! [07:49] SuperCrackMunkey: is / marked as being formatted? [07:49] raylu: packages can talk to nautilus without being launched to tell it where the icon is? [07:49] Yes, and I have tried formatting before partitioning aswell [07:49] Baz_1: er...what? [07:49] Baz_1: packages aren't launched [07:49] if you cahnge it in "settings -> configure kate" it will apply to all new files, if you change it from "Tools -> Indention" it applys it only to current selected file === bluelaguna_ is now known as BlueLaguna [07:50] Baz_1: but packages install both programs and launchers in the gnome menu and associate those launchers with icons [07:50] bexamous: hmm i understand [07:50] !who | bexamous [07:50] bexamous: 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 :) [07:50] raylu: for example i downloaded the latest version of eclipse since the repos have a really old one... when i open the folder in nautlis the main executable has an icon - how does nautilus know where to get that from [07:50] bexamous: anyways looks like kate is now well configured to use [07:51] Baz_1: no idea [07:51] ubottu how does one add a name instead of manually doin it like i just did? [07:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:51] Baz_1: it's probably a mime type thing [07:51] Does anyone know how i share files from my WINXP VMware to my Ubuntu 8.04 ? i downloaded some files on XP and i need them on Linux lol.

Also is it cached/buffered or actually used? [08:13] Blinkiz just guessing but probably it has more deamons running by default... what does it matter you dont have 100mb ram? [08:13] Blinkiz: 20MB is really low--- you checking the same way? [08:14] Oh dear.

[08:16] After installation of a Ubuntu 8.04 server copy, I can see with "htop" that around 20MB of RAM is used. Doing the same on Ubuntu 8.10 and it shows around 100MB of usage.

[08:22] jisses... [08:22] sky_: Don't. [08:22] <\Kira> onetinsoldier: um... I ran strace and then the command I had used to start the program. And it works suddently. I hadnt changed anything, and now it even works without the strace command procceding it. Does strace do something more than the name gives away? [08:23] \Kira: very interesting. no, it doesn't do anything more that i know of [08:23] One tin soldier rides away....

So I'm trying to install Intrepid desktop-alternate on a machine without a cdrom. Using this basic technique: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows I got it to boot fine from an extra partition set up specifically for this. My problem is that when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't see the hdd. Now, all partitioning I need is already done, so I'd like to just skip that step and move on, but that does [08:33] lol tobad he couldnt drive his slay without snow for gas [08:33] raylu: Ubuntu doesn't even get as far as Knoppix. [08:33] Oh, dio, I had the same question yesterday, if yoiu click on manual, find the ext3, and select it, go through the options it offers you, then it should work. [08:34] there is no "manual" choice on the alternate desktop install [08:34] Oh, omk [08:34] it's all text mode manual by default [08:35] dio444: what desktop choice has just text? [08:35] but the manual partitioner normally displays the drives, but it doesn't, and I don't know why. I [08:36] dio444: What do you mean "there is no manual choice on the alternate desktop install"? [08:36] Leewang: ? That was not a useful question as far as I can see. It's the ALTERNATE desktop install cd [08:37] I have to use it for 2 reasons, but mainly due to a lack of ram on the target machine [08:37] the other reason is that the machine has no cdrom [08:37] dio444: o ok no i was basically just wondering instead of gnome or kde if i could get a textbox no gui to use [08:38] Leewang you want minimal or server editions? [08:38] and the alternate iso is the only way that the "boot the iso from hdd" technique described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows works [08:38] koshar1: o ok thank you [08:38] I did it fine with the same ISO in a virtual box. === ce_bs_dipakek_sm is now known as ce_ML_byr [08:39] the image file has been checked, both by md5sum and by it's own self test === ce_bs_dipakek_sm is now known as ce_ML_byr_smg [08:41] it boots great, and gets to the partitioning step, but instead of giving a list of hdd partitions to modify, it just shows 2 blank lines where the partitions would normally be displayed === ce_bs_dipakek_sm is now known as ce_ML_byr_smg [08:41] the annoying part is that the partitioning is already done [08:41] it just needs to see them and install [08:41] but doesn't [08:42] I need help with openvpn is this a good place or is there a channel just for openvpn? === rww is now known as the_world === the_world is now known as rww [08:43] d [08:44] asdfasfd [08:44] hi [08:44] .

[08:44] no [08:44] Shame. =[ [08:45] Knoobie: I don't think Guest48221 was talking to you ;) [08:45] I believe Guest48221 was answering rww's question [08:46] Oh, ok. =D [08:47] Knoobie: I just checked in the repositories, though, and it appears that the answer is "no" :( [08:47] !rssowl [08:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about rssowl [08:47] Ok, thanks. =D [08:47] Knoobie, there might be hope if there's a rssowl deb or rpm [08:47] !info rssowl | chris4585 [08:47] Package rssowl does not exist in intrepid [08:47] I think it's Open Source, I'll have a look.

[08:49] http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_037.html might help, too [08:49] Thanks. =] [08:50] a [08:50] So, do I type all of those in to the console? [08:50] Knoobie, yes, basically [08:51] Awesome, thanks, I'll be back if I have any problems. =] [08:51] follow the steps [08:51] Knoobie: looks like that guide is a little old, though. You might want to try just downloading the .tar.gz and using the instructions in there, first. [08:52] anyone here using 'wicd' wireless manager? [08:53] mk123: Having trouble with it dropping your wireless/ [08:53] ? rather [08:53] Firefishe: having trouble with it getting frozen when i try to connect to my WEP [08:53] I'm having installation problems, Ubuntu 7.04, it's telling me no root partition defined. Though it is defined. It starts with an error box of just question marks. [08:53] Is this a common issue? [08:53] Firefishe: do you have problems iwth it also? [08:53] network manager has been working for me very nice on ubuntu 8.10 [08:53] wep? why are you using that? wpa/wpa2 is faster and more secure. [08:53] mk123: did you let it sit for a while? wicd tends to freeze up when it's busy doing stuff [08:53] rww: the whole system freezes permanently [08:53] mk123: Well, I was having issues with it in debian lenny, before I switched over to ubuntu/kubuntu 8.10 [08:54] mk123: ah. different issue, then :( [08:54] rww: can you guide me to connect to a wep network from shell?

[08:56] mk123, it has some fatal flaws in its implementation which shrinks its keyspace [08:56] mk123: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy#Flaws [08:56] I have modem ethernet card in my IBM Thinkpad laptop [08:56] kanchana: which model of Thinkpad? [08:56] mk123: (that's an answer to its brokenness, not a guide) [08:56] old technology It been around long enoughto fid out how to crack it] [08:56] wheree are system icons stored in ubuntu [08:56] mk123: i dont know because usally by the time a software company puts out a version of software its all ready circulated the hacker fourms and people have allready made hacks/cracks for it and are just waiting its release [08:57] I installed the pcmcia_cs debian package to recognise the ethernet card (Xircom 10/100+Modem 56) [08:57] M1n0rThr34t95: it's not that it's old, it's that it's flawed. There are plenty of still-secure encryption schemes that have been out for a lot longer. [08:57] rww, I'm not sure but I just tried that rssowl, I think its a portable app, I just ran it from its extracted folder [08:57] can someone guide me to connect to my WEP from shell [08:57] tonyyarusso, I dont know, quite old one, only 300 MHz [08:57] chris4585: sounds about right. It's a java app, right? [08:57] I think, dunno [08:58] kanchana: They usually say somewhere on the case - on mine it's on the very bottom right corner of the display piece. [08:58] mk123: I'm afraid I am not skilled in that area. [08:58] Sorry, does someone mind talking me through installing .zip file please? [08:58] can someone here give me network help? [08:58] Knoobie, right click, extract, then just run the rssowl file, (double click it) [08:58] mk123: what you need mate [08:58] narcarsiss: im trying to connect to my wep network from CLI [08:58] the funny thing is, that if I do ping 192.168.1.1 it receives packets (by 64), but when I open firefox it says Address not found [08:59] Knoobie, that howto was a little outdated it appears [08:59] mk123: okay. For WEP, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 [08:59] Hi, I currently have a dual boot going on and I want to remove the windows partition and add the space to my linux "home" partition, I installed GParted, but cant find a way to add the freed space to my home partition, it will only create a new separate one. [08:59] it seems i've tried everything and i have no idea what im doing anymore [08:59] tonyyarusso, there is one number: 600E, maybe that one? [08:59] mk123: basically, you edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a couple of lines for your wireless interface, then do sudo ifup interface_name_goes_here [08:59] elanning, thats because you can't resize a mounted partition, you will have to use the gparted livecd [09:00] rww: tried that [09:00] kanchana: likely, yeah. I'll poke around a little, and meanwhile, could you please !pastebin the output of 'lspci' and 'sudo lshw'? [09:00] I tried to unplug the network cable whether the ping will still work, and it still work! it is very strange... what can I do? [09:00] mk123: and it's not working? do you get error output, or is it just hanging too? [09:00] elanning, or at least thats what I think, [09:00] Can someone help me with a Ventrilo issue through Wine? [09:00] chris4585: is that a free download somewhere? [09:00] Ok, sorry, but can you also run through installing JRE or JDK please? [09:00] rww: its dhcp anyway why do i have to give it essid? [09:00] elanning, it should be, but I think I might be wrong about that [09:00] mk123: essid is the broadcast name of the network, not a hostname [09:00] rww: commands pass but for some reason i can't connect - scan works though [09:00] tonyarusso, ok, I'll try to do it (now I use different computer, which is on Windows) [09:00] elanning, I might be wrong about having to use the gparted livecd [09:01] rww: i have the ath5k kernel driver - maybe im missing some encryption dependancies in the kernel? [09:01] kanchana: Also, just to clarify, you have the ethernet card working now, but need help with the modem, correct? [09:01] Can someone also talk me through installing a JDK or JDE please? [09:02] mk123: I'm not using an atheros card, so I don't know the specifics, but I don't think you need extra stuff for WEP, just for WPA/WPA2. I didn't need to manually-configure my WEP when I had it, though (networkmanager handled it), so I could be wrong. [09:02] Knoobie, I think you have to have java runtime installed? [09:03] Well it's telling me I don't. O.O [09:04] Knoobie: There are a couple of different ways. You can load a JRE from synaptic, or you can just download the appropriate latest and greatest directly from sun. [09:04] Ok, thanks. =] [09:04] has anyone else had problems with Wine and running apps as far as if you try to move them the move to the end of the screen where you can not see then any more [09:05] Can someone help me with Ventrilo over Wine? [09:05] MitsuviKz: What problem do you have? [09:05] M1n0rThr34t95, I'm not sure about that, but mIRC use to vanish a lot [09:05] Knoobie: If you only want to run applets, I'd stick to the JRE. If you want to develop, then you'll need the JDK you desire [09:06] A problem with the GSM 6.10 codec...I get this error: [09:06] Failed to get encoder for specified Codec. [09:06] Unable to initialize outbound codec (GSM 6.10 - 44 KHz, 16 bit): Unable to find the specified codec. [09:06] Ok. =] Thanks. [09:06] rww: im going to get madwifi, screw ath6k [09:06] yeah it happens with winamp [09:06] or ath5k rather [09:06] tonyyarusso, no, I cannot connect to internet any way [09:06] there is a new jre out with 64 bit mozilla/firefox support [09:07] kanchana__: Which way are you trying to use though? (ie, what kind of internet connection do you have?) [09:07] tonyyarusso, I have a modem ethernet card, it says it is sending some packets, but in fact it is unable to receive anything. Anyway, when I do ping to 192.168.1.1 it receives data. I cannot establish internet connection [09:08] kanchana__: um, modem or ethernet card: pick one. [09:08] tonyyarusso, it is on a network. It is a wire connection, I connect a wire to modem and another end to the modem of my laptop. In the modem there are another three wires. With all connected computers I should be able to work as a network, but in the current situation I cant... :-) [09:09] * Panarchy says Hi [09:09] kanchana__: Three wires? Not two or four?? [09:10] kanchana__: let me phrase the connection question this way: dial-up, or "broadband"? [09:10] What would the package be called, I can only find JDE, but not JRE. [09:10] I need to find out what is taking up all my space in my home partition. It's a ubuntu server installation so I don't have gui. What tool will give me a nice view of used hard disk space? [09:11] Blinkiz: du will tell you some, although I wouldn't describe it as pretty. [09:11] Okay, so here are the things left for me to do before releasing my distribution. 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). [09:11] Please tell me how to do those things [09:11] Thanks in advance, [09:11] Panarchy [09:11] Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Ubuntu ain't as user friendly as winxp or vista. Anyway I think so. To watch and stream video, I use vlc from videolan.org. Its a great video program. Dispearring apps from Wine I don't know about. Maybe newer version of wine?

[09:16] My iPod keeps disconnecting halfway through transfers, I know its a problem with Ubuntu because my iPod doesn't do this on other OSs or other computers. Its getting to be annoying because I need to get some files off of it and I'm sick of it demounting halfway through. Whats the problem with it? [09:16] tonyyarusso, it seems I have an ethernet card, but one of my friends told me, that it is a modem (I have a slot for telephone line etc. in it) [09:16] most not all [09:16] What IPOD app should I get?

I'd like to resize my / partition to take advantage of the new space. Unfortunately there is a swap partition sitting inbetween the / and the unallocated space which prevents that using gparted. Should I disable swap alltogether? Should I attempt to move the swap partition by moving it to the end of the unallocated space? Should I start using a swap file instead of a swap parti [09:18] tonyyarusso, so here is the lspci and lshw output: http://pastebin.com/m7346a9bf [09:18] I thought iTunes worked for Linux? [09:18] via wine yes [09:19] Ok. [09:19] nope run full tilt in wine [09:19] Knoobie: not very well, no. There isn't a native version, and wine works "okay" with it. [09:19] Oh.

The RPM is for RedHat-based systems. [09:44] Knoobie: do yourself a favor and do the following: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:45] 1) I don't know how. 2) I did.

Is there any way to fix it and why does it happen? [09:55] Panarchy: Unfortunately, that's not packaged... do you know how to package software? [09:55] Knoobie: do you have another package manager open somewhere? another apt-get somewhere, or Synaptic? [09:55] I have something installing Java, so yeah.

[09:56] Knoobie: that'd be it. You can only have one package manager modifying the package database (installing/removing/etc.) at once [09:56] Knoobie: then you'll have to wait until that's done before installing anything else... next time, just install everything at once :P [09:56] Knoobie, Let it finish [09:56] Ok.

[10:00] ab-k2, What is your first language? There are other channels for other languages [10:01] does anyone know speech-to-text program for ubuntu? sorry to repeat.. [10:01] but they don't know [10:02] Panarchy: Not sure with either [10:02] Where can I tell whether i'm using 32 bit or 64 bit? [10:02] Moniker127: uname -a [10:02] thanks [10:02] ab-k2, Can they help you write your question more clearly? I don't understand what "My programming is nothing" means [10:02] <_2> fde heh, all my hardware is fully supported under dapper, or as fully as it is under any later version; to get one gfx card supported i would have to revert to something with a 2.4 kernel. as per performance. are you saying that the 2.6.18 kernel will outperforme the 2.6.15 ? or was that a refferance to upstart -vs- sysV ? [10:02] Moniker127: if it says "x86_64" near the end you're using 64-bit [10:03] fde: Well in that case, can you tell me how to create a link to /opt/myprogram so that when I type in 'myprogram' into the terminal, it will appear anywhere [10:04] Jordan_U: nope, that does not solve it. Mind you, this is a WPA2 wifi, so it probably cannot auto-connect unless I can tell network-menager to obtain the passphrase from elsewhere [10:04] Panarchy, either do a soft link , ln -s ... or put /opt/myprogram into your shell path [10:04] 69% installed. [10:04] i wonder why other OSs dont have package managers [10:04] wickedpuppy: ln -s? [10:04] Okay [10:04] Moniker127, which OS .. win? [10:04] Moniker127: they do. [10:04] madduck, It should be able to do it even with a passphrase, did you set it as a system setting? [10:04] <_2> Panarchy that's a path issue, to use app_name the app has to be in the users path or the path must be supplied. move it to /usr/local/bin or add the path to it's presant location [10:04] Jordan_U: yes. [10:05] well, only counts if its built in, really [10:05] Just out Curiosity, how do I install Tremulous? [10:05] Madduck: I'm able to connect to WPA2 networks fine. [10:05] Moniker127, again ... which OS? [10:05] <[^martin]> hi all, I have a wireless adapter that works fine with a wep hex key. I would really like the adapter to connect at boot time without login and without asking for the password. I've been googling but can't find a solution that works. Any ideas? [10:05] well, the other two major ones, osx, and windows [10:05] madduck, Does that same connection work via network-manager once you are logged in? Does it re-ask you for your password? [10:05] _2: Can I use /usr/shar/bin? [10:06] Jordan_U: yes and no [10:06] <_2> Panarchy i.e. export PATH="$PATH:/my/new/apps/are/here" [10:06] tiyowan: before login? [10:06] madduck: Now that I haven't tried. [10:06] <_2> Panarchy you can but you will have to add that to your path, usr/local/bin is already in the default path [10:06] Moniker127, package manager? you mean creating exe? visual studio?? [10:06] ln -s '/opt/Metasploit 3.2' /usr/share/bin [10:06] or such as synaptic [10:06] Would that work? [10:06] <_2> Panarchy to view your path echo $PATH [10:06] jad [10:07] maybe i'm thinking a package manager is something its not [10:07] i don't find a better channel, so i posit this question here, which pertains to batch files in windows. My client is a windows user, whom I now have open in vncsc. there are some changes i have made which require a restart, I would like to make a batch file which will re-open the application, but a further command is needed to activate the application once the exe is started. The user must click the button labeled "Internet Support" [10:07] bonjo [10:07] hi all [10:07] _2: So /usr/sbin === zendyani is now known as bonjo [10:07] anyone has experience in setting up GRE tunnels ?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:08] hmm k :) [10:08] _2: But would that apear there for my live session user? [10:08] <_2> Panarchy that's what the /usr/local/ is for [10:08] Jordan_U: that was creepy, as I am actually called martin myself. :) [10:09] madduck im trying to setup squid to be a transparent proxy. i'm having trouble opening a GRE tunnel between Squid and cisco router. as well as redirecting traffic coming from that tunnel to port 3128 of squid [10:09] Ubottu: you know as well as i do, no one in any windows channel is going to have an answer [10:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:09] Howdy, sometimes when i open a new program (eg Firefox)... the window will lag and show a sort of screenshot of something i had opened maybe five minutes before ... it is bizaare ... does anyone have an explanation?

[10:12] how does the ubuntu org make money? [10:12] sudo ln -s '/opt/Metasploit 3.2/msfweb' /usr/local/bin/msfweb [10:12] ok [10:12] brrrrrradical, do you use the correct driver for your gpu? [10:13] Moniker127, canonical provides all the money for ubuntu and the shipping costs and the like [10:13] jim_p: i hope/think so... why would that cause it to remember screenshots? [10:13] Moniker127, They sell support, but mostly it's because they are funded be a rich guy name Mark Shuttleworth ( the guy who paid to be a space tourist ) [10:13] <_2> Moniker127 is it supposed to make money ??? [10:13] brrrrrradical, No idea [10:13] mk [10:13] well, i mean, even charaties have operating costs [10:14] brrrrrradical, what gpu are you on?

Is there a way to use an older kernel without reinstalling from scratch? Where would I read about it? [10:14] jim_p: i have an 8500 gt === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [10:15] Jordan_U, its canOnical :P [10:15] * Panarchy thanks _2 for all the help given, it WORKED :P [10:15] good morning to all [10:15] tensai_, what kernel do you wish to use and why? [10:15] morn'n [10:15] tensai_: just install the older kernel from the repos and set it to default in grub [10:16] tensai_: of course.. that limits you to the kernels that is available from the repos [10:16] tensai_, i think you can do it with some apt command [10:16] i have a fried sitting next to me that is unable to get his microphone to work [10:16] Slart, i think apt + a hardy repo will allow him to draw a kernel from hardy but only that [10:16] a little question, how i can start an applet at startup? in particular the applet is gnome remote desktop tnx [10:16] does any one have experience with setting up WCCP with squid/cisco! [10:17] friend* [10:17] |ns|nR8, have you tried gstreamer-properties? [10:17] <|ns|nR8> nuh [10:17] hi [10:17] <|ns|nR8> is that a command ? [10:17] Sofistio, System > Preferences > sessions [10:17] From what I am able to ascertain with my very limited knowledge thus far (24hr old newb) my Intel 845G driver is not functioning properly in the most current kernel, though posts online seem to indicate that it worked fine in 'Hardy' and 'Feisty' etc. These are previous kernels yes? [10:17] |ns|nR8, yea. set it to use alsa... or remove pulseaudio completely [10:17] <_2> Techie i thought you were deriding his drug abuse "fried" [10:18] <|ns|nR8> ok im in there now jim_p, ill let ya klnow how it goes, thanks [10:18] i have some problems with my sounds (i have no sound) can someone could help me to debug this? [10:18] jim_p: tnx for support [10:18] jim_p: yes.. it might work.. the hardy repo wouldn't use any other packages that are available from the intrepid repo (with a higher version number) if I've understood apt correctly [10:18] tensai_, these are previous VERSIONS of the os that had earlier version of XORG [10:18] to you and to everyone meery christams and happy new year [10:18] tensai_, the kernel is irrelevant to this problem [10:18] _2: not quite, maybe later on tonight [10:19] Sofistio, lol to you too [10:19] tensai_: I think that might be a combination of kernel+X+drivers.. you might end up having to run hardy altogether [10:19] tonyyarusso, hello, so I finally installed ndiswrapper. Nothing changed, it's still the same [10:19] tonyyarusso, do you think that my problem has a solution? [10:19] So download a new .iso and start again? [10:20] monksarana, well you need to make ndiswrapper imitate that windows thing you want [10:20] tensai_, hell no. please be more specific about the problem [10:20] tensai_: or try to find out what the problem is and see if there might be a workaround available [10:20] All of a sudden I'm having problems with Firefox. It seems when it's active it's constantly running the processor at like...70% [10:20] jim_p heh, but I dont know what I want from windows thing. I want to have internet connection. [10:20] It takes forever just to switch tabs [10:21] Neurologic: does it get better if you restart firefox? [10:21] monksarana, tonyyarusso : i guess its a wireless problem? [10:21] Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance [10:21] brb people. breakfast time :P [10:21] Neurologic: it might be a firefox problem or a plugin problem.. normall I would blame flash [10:21] jim_p the computer says it is connected, but in fact it doesnt receive any packets. It's just sending kilobytes. Moreover, ping gives a beautiful response. Then what to do? [10:21] Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. [10:22] Slart, I don't think so...I've restarted twice now. It happened when I tried to install a new addon, I removed the new addon and it's still stuck at this processor run [10:22] jim_p, it is wired connection, but tonyyarusso told me to install ndiswrapper, so I did it... [10:22] Panarchy: creating your own linux distros is a bit offtopic in this channel.. perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic instead? [10:22] monksarana, remove network manager and install wicd or something similar. the connection used to work right? [10:22] Somebody walked me through editing my xorg.conf file yesterday to use the vesa driver, so that I could complete the install. It was hanging when the desktop started up because my on board 845G intel chipset doesn't seem to work properly. So we used the vesa as a temporary fix and now I'm trying to find a real driver that will give me any kind of decent resolution. [10:22] Slart, never had this problem with flash before...Should I restart my computer to see if that helps at all? [10:22] Neurologic: are you sure firefox is really restarting between runs? pkill firefox is one way you can kill off old processes hanging around [10:22] jim_p, how to remove network manager? and what is it wicd? [10:22] How do I make my firefox addons the same as my current firefox addons for when I create my LiveCD using remastersys? (Ubuntu 8.10) [10:22] monksarana, will you give me a sec to have breakfast and i promise to help you out ok? [10:23] Slart, hmm...good point. [10:23] I made that sound like the chipset is broken somehow - not the case. Ubuntu 8.10 just doesn't like the intel 845g apparently. [10:23] jim_p, if you do it, you are master, because two weeks I solve this and nobody could help me sufficiently... [10:23] Neurologic: I think some plugins can start processes of their own too.. I know flash runs through some kind of wrapper that sometimes stays around even after you killed firefix [10:23] jim_p, so after breakfast... [10:24] <_2> tensai_ you tried i810 ? [10:24] Slart, I pkill'd it, and am looking through the processes [10:25] I really don't know how to get it. >.< I downloaded something from Intel's site but it wouldn't compile. [10:25] <|ns|nR8> jim_p, tried every setting, still no sound, also went into preferences, sound and played with all that. Sound works with everything else, was working fine with 8.04 aswell [10:26] <|ns|nR8> sux being a newbie [10:26] Slart, Much better! Thanks! [10:26] Not when there are people who actually help :) [10:26] How do I make my firefox addons the same as my current firefox addons for when I create my LiveCD using remastersys? (Ubuntu 8.10) [10:26] <_2> tensai_ i810 support is in xorg already, just asking if you tried that driver in place of vesa, not trying to cause problems just asking. [10:27] ?? I really don't know how to do that, like I said I'm very new :) [10:27] Didn't mean to give you the impression you were causing problems [10:28] Do I just replace 'vesa' with 'i810' in my xorg.conf file? [10:29] je vien d'installer ubuntu et je ne sais pas comment chercher des page web merci de votre aide [10:29] <_2> tensai_ the same way you edited your xorg.conf yesterday you can edit it today and change the driver "vesa" to driver "i810" and see if it works or no. it was probably a command something like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:29] yups ty [10:29] be back in 5 mins if it doesn't :) [10:29] <_2> tensai_ k [10:29] can anyone help me install beryl?

[10:34] Panarchy: use sudo [10:34] blueskiesokie: hmm.. no, you're right.. but perhaps you could use rsync instead.. that has an "ignore if already exists" option [10:35] try: yes n | cp -i * dir/ [10:35] Panarchy: sudo is usually used in ubuntu [10:35] ok .. will look into that [10:35] !sudo | Panarchy [10:35] Panarchy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [10:35] !root | Panarchy [10:35] Panarchy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

[10:38] Panarchy: it's not something I will discuss here.. once again.. try #ubuntu-offtopic [10:38] this should tell cp -i to not overwrite anything. [10:38] dio444: So, how do I do that?

[10:47] _2 At this point I don't care if I nuke this box. It's a fresh install on an old unused system so I have nothing to lose. [10:47] rww, I didn't know that!? But if you want to run a system with rwx privs. for the world,, that's the way to go. [10:47] pleeeeeeeease [10:48] runlevelten: I'm not sure if bash can do everything dash does.. any special reason you want to replace dash? [10:48] my thinking was that if they were nicely compatible, then the only negative upshot would be an impreceptible speed difference if they restarted stuff, etc [10:48] <_2> tensai_ a man after my own heart [10:48] guys please i need some help seriously [10:48] runlevelten: dash is used just because it's a lot lighter than bash.. so replacing dash with bash will probably slow your computer down [10:49] Slart: yes, I was rather hoping I could hand over to bash after init had started the machines [10:49] and it's more than one machine [10:49] runlevelten: but why not give it a try.. rename dash and create a shortcut that's called dash but pointing to bash [10:49] How do I enable advanced view of ati catalyst control center? [10:49] runlevelten: then try rebooting.. but have a live cd ready if things don't work out [10:50] I'm completely happy to have it used during startup since that offers an advantage [10:50] hello [10:50] but the incompatibility with shell scripts doesn't really give users any advantage [10:50] guys does someone know how to mount a mass storage device on my ubuntu??? [10:50] runlevelten: or even better.. try it in a vm [10:50] aside from the pleasure of being admonished for expecting things to work as bash - and I don't feel committed to arguing with them about that :) [10:50] please it's a serious problem, i need some help about it [10:50] <|ns|nR8> harlemdavvey, its usually automatic [10:50] runlevelten: =) [10:51] no it's not in my case [10:51] Does anyone know how to set up a wireless network on ubuntu? :( [10:51] Slart: yes, really it's time to suck it and see, I guess :) [10:51] runlevelten: it's a small enough change so reversing it would be a 2 minute job [10:51] ns nR8 please call me on private [10:51] i'll explain you about it [10:52] I asked this a minute ago, but i tried closing out of pidgin thinking this window was independent, so it closed out, and i couldnt get a response. Anyway, how does one enable the advanced view of catalyst control center for ati radeon graphics cards? [10:52] <|ns|nR8> what file system harlemdavvey ? [10:53] later Slart, thanks for your thoughts. [10:54] theres a lot of people in here [10:54] guys can somebody help me with my music player?? [10:55] i have to mount it but i don't know what to do! [10:55] i broke sudo some time ago, and only just now have a chance to fix it. I'm in the root-shell on the offending machine, have commented out the lines i remember that i changed (visudo). error: $user is not in the sudoers file [10:55] could use some suggestions/guidance to fix it [10:55] ola [10:55] ola [10:55] i need some help with mounting an usb storage device! [10:56] harlemdavvey, doesn't it do that automatically? [10:56] hi [10:56] no, it doesn't [10:56] :( [10:56] harlemdavvey, which version of ubuntu? [10:56] rmn, passwd? [10:56] n2diy, why? i know the user password is correct [10:57] 8.10 [10:57] want to play atlantic ??? [10:57] harlemdavvey, and it's a regular usb-device? [10:57] rmn: it's a music player, but it's not an ipod [10:58] rmn: it mounts on win [10:58] rmn, you said you broke sudo, I thought you wanted to fix it? [10:58] harlemdavvey, so it can be considered a regular USB storage device [10:58] well, yes [10:58] n2diy, correct. but does not passwd just change my password? [10:58] i tried mounting it with sg_scan -i [10:58] but my ubuntu doesn't want to access the storage device [10:59] rmn, you said your in the root shell, so it should change roots password. [10:59] hello, lftp through ssh (socks5 server) anyone any experience ? [10:59] n2diy, but that just makes it easy to do su, not sudo? [11:00] hello, I cannot connect to the internet [11:00] aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor. [11:00] what does this mean? [11:00] rmn, Hmmm? [11:00] rmn, i tried to set the kernel up by terminal to mount the volume, but there's nothing to do [11:00] :( [11:00] it receives Kbs but doesnt send anything, I have IBM Thinkpad laptop with Xircom ethernet card [11:00] n2diy, passwd - change root password. but how does that fix $user not in sudoers? [11:01] Hi! I've almost finished creating my linux distribution. All that's left for me to do (things that I don't know how to do) are the following: 1) Make it so default login on live CD is root user 2) Make INS mode use default drivers 3) Boot into VESA mode by default 4) Make firefox addons go across to all users (including live session user). Please tell me how to do the preceding 4 things. Thanks in advance [11:01] _2 Can I pm you the error I get trying to install intel's driver? [11:01] It says that it is already connected but Firefox and everything else doesnt work [11:01] harlemdavvey, so mount /device /mnt/mydisk fails? [11:01] yes rmn [11:01] rmn, It doesn't but fixing sudo comes first. [11:01] also when I ping, it gives beautiful responce - 64 packets in every attempt... this is very strange... is there any way out? [11:01] harlemdavvey, with what error [11:01] there is not an error [11:02] harlemdavvey, tried as root? [11:02] it simply remains unrecognised [11:02] it is wired network into a router modem, I really have no idea what to do... please, can you help me? [11:02] yes, i tried as root [11:02] harlemdavvey, and tried on another OS? [11:02] yes [11:02] Hi. I have a tv card and the cable is connected to s-video. is there any program for tv? [11:02] it works on win [11:02] oh wait a minute [11:02] I need help installing a driver DRI package. Can I send my error to somebody pm? [11:03] anyone here use a radeon card? [11:03] marco: there's plenty.. search for tv tuner or something like that in synaptic [11:03] you talked about mounting the device as root, right rmn? [11:03] harlemdavvey, have you setup your DNS serrvers? [11:03] tensai_: use pastebin to share the error message [11:03] slart thanks [11:03] yes n2diy [11:03] what's the problem? [11:04] What's the command to save and exit visudo? [11:04] n2diy, i don't quite see how that fixes it. the only indication i have that sudo is broken is that no user is in sudoers file [11:04] sudo per se is presumably live and well [11:05] also the funny thing is, that it gives the ping even when I plug of the wire of the network [11:06] I have really no idea what to do, I already installed pcmcia_cs driver for the ethernet card, also wicd and ndiswrapper, and still nothing changed [11:06] please, I am desperately sad... :/ is there any help? [11:06] n2diy, was that dns-message directed at kanchana ? [11:07] n2diy & rmn nevertheless - I have set up the dns servers well [11:07] OK it's up at http://pastebin.com/m6fd70f0f [11:07] hi === Guest48221 is now known as HHH [11:08] hello [11:09] rwn no it wasn't [11:09] hello I need a good audio burning application [11:09] Hey has anyone downloaded the package the allows you to use .mp3 files? [11:09] Èñ¿ì [11:09] hi everyone .... since the upgrade to 8.10, I have wierd keyboard outages ... meaning, alot of keys do work, but for example the arrows do not [11:09] !mp3 | yanz [11:09] dekkong: k3b is probably the best burning app on desktop linux [11:09] yanz: 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 [11:10] runlevelten: ok thx [11:10] although is k3b broken in ubuntu? [11:10] I know that xorg is using HAL now and the xorg.0.log shows the keyboard being added correctly [11:10] check it out, anyway [11:10] ubuntu-restricted-extras <- So is that illegal? [11:10] any ideas? [11:10] yanz→ in some countries, it's dubious. it's legal in Sweden, for an instance [11:10] Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. [11:10] yanz: it's up to you to check on that for your country/circumstances, etc [11:11] how to use two different fonts for alphabet and CJK characters ? [11:11] in xterm [11:11] Ok. I don't think it would be illegal in australia though/ [11:12] Greetings. [11:12] why cant I burn mp3 files with k3b? [11:12] I'm having trouble compiling my video driver. It's a DRI package. Will somebody look at this log file? http://pastebin.com/m6fd70f0f [11:13] dekkong: have you installed the k3b mp3 plugin? [11:13] rockhound: I dont think so [11:13] rockhound: I only installed the k3b [11:14] dekkong: look at medibuntu.org [11:14] I can play DVD's as long as they are home-made. As soon as I try to play a DVD which is an original my system refuses. I can play the same DVD in Windo_ze XP. But if I try to copy it in windows I always get a problem. Seems because of some kind of encryption related to copy right protection. Is it normal for an Ubuntu system to have problems playing one DVD and the next not ? [11:14] rockhound: where do I get the mp3 plugin? [11:14] Thanks for your help ;D [11:15] Can somebody help me get my intel video driver DRI package to compile? [11:15] Unknown0BC, you hit the nail on the head, copywrite protection, we can't help you break that. [11:16] Unknown0BC: you may be having trouble with css encryption, which is something movie studios have used to make them awkward to watch [11:16] if you wish, you can install a package to watch them despite this, called libdvdcss [11:16] dio444: Try to remove your windows swap file before yo start the ubuntu installation. [11:16] can I install .deb package to my user folder? I am not in the sudoers list [11:17] of course, you should ensure this is legally acceptable for your country and circumstances before you do so. [11:17] jablo: there is no windows at all. It's got another linux distro on it. [11:17] n2diy:Well I don't really want to make copies. I just want to play it on my Ubuntu system. But it seems my Ubunto system will not even PLAY DVD's with some kind of copyright protection/encryption on them. [11:17] Unknown0BC: answered above. [11:17] jablo: the reason for the convoluted install technique is a lack of cdrom, and a lack of any other removable media [11:17] I have a problem I don't understand: thinkpad T60p with ATI FireGL V5250. fglrx is installed and not blacklisted, and setup as the driver in xorg.conf. But fglrx is not listed in lsmod! And glrxinfo says "Mesa, Indirect". But glxgears run at 400 FPS! I don't get it: is fglrx running or not? lsmod indicates that it isn't ... since ist's not loaded. [11:17] and then. sudo modprobe fglrx says: "FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx" [11:17] is there some software for linux capable of previewing partially downloaded avi files? [11:18] but /var/log/Xorg.0.log says it's fine! I really, really, don't understand what is going on. [11:18] looonger: mplayer [11:18] Unknown0BC, roger that. GL, it wasn't worth the hassle for me to figure it out. [11:18] copy the partially downloaded file somewhere and play it with mplayer, will often be fine [11:18] @ looonger [11:18] runlevelten: mplayer isn't [11:18] dio444: What are you trying to achieve? [11:18] n2diy : what is "GL" ? [11:19] Unknown0BC, Good luck. [11:19] you may be missing codecs, or you may be unlucky with the way the file is constructed [11:19] runlevelten: Can you play encrypted DVD's ( if thats what I should call them ) on your Ubuntu ? Does this mean I cant play any DVD's from the store on my Ubuntu system or is there something I should install with regards to css ? [11:20] n2diy: it's not really much hassle, I've been watching dvds for years on linux quite happily with kaffeine, the time spent setting the machines up was small. [11:20] jablo: just get it installed on the "thin client" type machine. [11:20] I did play DVD's on one of my previous SuSE setups. [11:20] Unknown0BC: yes, I can, but because I installed css decryption stuff :) [11:20] mmm [11:21] Unknown0BC: you should generally speaking install css, win32 codecs and mplayer, realplayer, xine, and vlc if you're keen on video [11:21] can I install .deb package to my user folder? I am not in the sudoers list [11:21] that's what I do, so I'm not left out in the cold when video of whatever codec arrives [11:21] :) [11:21] runlevelten, fine business, my system is hardware challenged, so it wasn't worth the bother for me. [11:22] but for dvd playback, you should look for the uncrippled xine version, and css decryption [11:22] runlevelten: I have all that installed but I'm not sure about css, I have codecs but not sure if they are win32. [11:22] basically, meidbuntu ;) [11:22] *medibuntu even [11:22] !medibuntu [11:22] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:22] Unknown0BC: look there ^ :) [11:22] runlevelten: As I say I can play all sorts of media, even DVD formats but just this encryption prob. [11:23] runlevelten: thanks. [11:23] Unknown0BC: aye, blame silly IP maniacs for putting us out, heh [11:23] jablo: at this point, I'm thinking it really is some sort of bug in the installer. It's booting great, using that technique I linked to already. It just fails during the partitioning step of the installer to see the hdd. Annoyingly enough, it's already partitioned and ready to go, it's just that the installer doesn't see it to choose it as the install location [11:23] like you probably are, I am playing properly purchased media - and if I wasn't, css wouldn't be a problem because it would be ripped! [11:24] punishment for the paying customer, eh? [11:25] I work on another distro to ubuntu, and let me tell you, most distros would be more than happy to enable it by default if not for legal :)illiness [11:25] re [11:25] anyway, I shall mooch off and make some songs for frets on fire now :) later [11:25] I'm having trouble compiling my video driver.

[11:29] can anybody help me? [11:29] Unknown0BC, dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg -L | less [11:30] tensai_: odd. my only assumption is that the kernel module isn't playing nicely with your current kernel headers [11:30] suggestions if that is the case? [11:31] Unknown0BC, all files? or only those installed by packages? [11:32] hischild by packages.

I'm trying to get an old HP LaserJet4 Plus to work in intrepid. I used the wizard in System->Administration->printing.

In dos it is cd.. and in unix? [11:56] Feddozz, cd .. [11:56] Feddozz: cd .. [11:56] with a space [11:56] lol, did you try cd ..? [11:56] bogus-: well.. if you can find the function you need in the dhcp specs you could try enabling it on your dhcp client.. but that will take some work.. this might be a good starting point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhcp [11:56] BCMM do you put a space between cd and the dots? [11:57] Feddozz: yes [11:57] thanks [11:57] ok [11:57] Feddozz: DOS for some weird reason accepts cd.. the space would be needed to separate the command (cd)from the argument (..) [11:57] ok thanks all it obviously works, I didn't put the space bye!! [11:57] :P [11:58] dos accepts cd\ too, for the same reason, I'd guess [11:59] dos probably accepts it as a seperate command precisely because it's such a common thype [11:59] typo [12:01] BCMM: bah.. in the true spirit of linux the user should be punished until the user does it right.. ;) [12:02] something similar to sopcast in linux ubuntu? [12:03] does ubuntu have a working offline filesystem solution? e.g. a way for my mother to keep all her documents on our home server (samba) and make them available offline when she is on the road? [12:03] or sopcast is free in linux ubuntu? [12:03] is their anything similar to google desktop in ubuntu?

[12:04] hi everybody [12:04] madduck: mm.. perhaps there's an easy gui for it.. or you could setup a script of some kind [12:05] Slart: there is a gui, but that does not make it less complex for someone who just discovered shared filesystems [12:05] hi [12:05] and a script will break [12:06] Hey guys!

[12:13] sztomi: I would be very very surprised if the hp laserjet 4 wouldn't be supported by cups [12:13] sztomi: just to make sure.. there is paper in the printer, right? [12:13] yeah, it has another message for that [12:13] :) [12:14] "PC LOAD A4" [12:14] sztomi: is it the right size? A4 and letter isn't quite the same [12:14] sztomi, A4 format and letter format are 2 different things [12:14] Anyone got an idea what's causing this: W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. === Irreducibilis is now known as Irred-sleep [12:14] When I try to start pulseaudio [12:15] quibbler: I understand.

I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd.

(synce didn't work) [12:21] danub: can't the cell be used as a usb medium? [12:21] sztomi: why not check if there is a manual available from hp.. they must have documented these error messages there.

Is it possible to change it? [12:22] aoupi: is a simple restart of the X session an option? [12:22] to A4 [12:22] madduck i'd prefer not to [12:22] dpkg-reconfigure libpaper should do it. [12:22] aoupi: then maybe reenable and disable it? [12:23] sztomi: it might be a setting on the printer itself.. it's been a long time since I've used a hplj4 [12:23] blist [12:23] hi everyone, how can i extract deb packages from my ubuntu live cd ? [12:23] madduck: tried that a few times but didn't help, it's just very stubborn :) [12:23] georgeaf: you cannot. [12:23] (i think) [12:23] or rather, you should not, though dpkg-repack might be tempting. it gets dangerous. [12:24] and without installing ? [12:24] i can't use dpkg-repack [12:24] what does the squashfs file contain ? ubuntu already installed ? [12:24] maybe you ought to start by telling us what you are trying to achieve? [12:24] yes, installed. [12:25] just install ubuntu's packages on another distro [12:25] get the from a mirror then? [12:25] don't wanna download them again [12:25] is there an xfire alternative [12:25] look in /var/cache/apt/archives, georgeaf [12:26] but isn't that the place when i already downloaded packages ? [12:26] i want to get the packages which are originally present on the cd [12:28] OMG. It was sooo simple. I only had to change the default media from US letter to A4. :P. And FYI it works with "Foomatic ljet4" driver, and doesn't with the ghostscript one. [12:28] how do you re-open a page in firefox that you previous typed in the url for? This doesn't seem to work in ff like it used to [12:28] georgeaf: the desktop install cd doesn't really have packages on it. If you had the alternate install cd it might be a different story. What you want is not worth the trouble learning what you'd need to know to make it work. You'd basically have to repackage the packages to get them from your cd. Way more work than a re-d/l [12:29] ardchoille: you mean the last closed page? [12:29] ardchoille, history-recently closed tabs [12:29] ok thanks everyone [12:29] I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while including installing packages to try them out. I would now like to remove packages I have not used in a long time. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? [12:29] I didn't close the tab and I don't feel like going 500 pages back in history [12:30] you used to be able to click the arrow in the url bar and it presents you with a list of urls you previously typed in [12:30] howto install xen in ubuntu 8.10?

[12:51] * Logi hasn't compiled the kernel for years and likes it that way [12:53] jim_p, so so... it's not a quick solution... but i need boot an existing virtual machine in xen [12:54] Would you guys recommend getting an nVidia 9 series or 8n series card (cost doesn't matter)? I'm going to buy a new computer soon, and need to think about GPU, CPU and RAM. [12:54] nikki_, 8800 is the perfect cut for money and performance now [12:54] And Ubuntu-compatibility too? [12:55] nikki_, any nvidia card is trouble free with linux [12:55] Are you sure about that? [12:55] asantana, let me look it up. even debian does not have xen kernels nowdays [12:56] jim_p, thanks ;) [12:56] nikki_, as a former user of nvidia and current ati use i say "stay away from ati if you want to stay calm!" [12:56] *current ati user [12:56] jim_p, yeah, I know about ATI hell. And, what about nVidia 9xxx GPUs? [12:57] nikki_, well they are supported PROPERLY in the latest kernel and nvidia drivers === Fallenou_ is now known as Fallenou [12:57] I see. One important thing for me is 'future-compatibility'. I don't buy new computers often, and will have to keep this new one for 4 years or so. [12:57] nikki_, ubuntu 8.10 has both [12:58] You think 8800 can play new games a lot? [12:58] (I program, email etc. on Linux and go into Windows to play games for the night) [12:58] nikki_, nvidia has one minor flaw when it comes to drivers in general. every one year or so, a series of cards falls to the legacy category! [12:58] nikki_, this year the 5xxx series fell in there [12:59] nikki_, i do the same roughly [12:59] Exactly, which got me. I have an FX 5600. That's old though, so I think nVidia is justified. [12:59] But tell me, do you think 8800 will live for 4 years? Or should I go for a 9xxx. === maryan is now known as wargh [12:59] nikki_, well it fell in the legacy category THIS year. its not that old in linux terms [12:59] I was initially thinking of GTX 280 (lol). [13:00] nikki_, you can even do compiz way better than my 3850HD [13:00] Ok, ok, stop with that discussion now, lets talk about the new card I gotta get. :P [13:00] Read my above 3 messages. [13:00] *w [13:00] *2 [13:01] nikki_, ok. i did. i still think 8800 is better. 9xxx does not worth the more money [13:01] asantana, are you there? i found a gentoo wiki page for xen [13:01] I see... And I did my usual 'luck-pick' and it seems 8800 came out. :P === HHH is now known as sdf [13:02] jim_p [13:02] Slart: Found it, it seems I need to enable history in Firefox to get that functionality and I don't want to do that because I like my ~/.mozilla being less than 5mb [13:02] asantana, :P [13:02] But really, cost doesn't matter, so what do I go for? I mean, the _best_ thing with good Linux compatibility. [13:02] glorious doc in gentoo!

Can I remotely (ssh) login into a *graphical* session? [13:46] ackbahr: not as such, no [13:46] everything you ever needed to learn about german can be done in movies [13:47] ackbahr, ssh -X , and you can launch remote graphical apps, into your x server [13:47] adaptr: Ok... Then can start a X11 app over there, and get the display here? [13:47] ackbahr: yes [13:47] enzotib: so it's going to appear here?

I can not use my card reader. lsusb shows that it presents, sg_map shows that sg3 and sg4 (reader and sd card) dont map to any /dev/sd*. How I can do it? [13:51] adaptr: Over the internet [13:51] enzotib: So what do you think of the answer I got? [13:51] ackbahr: then ssh tunneling is the better option [13:52] enzotib: no, you don't need "only an SSH server" - the remote side has to have X installed [13:52] ackbahr, is your host in the hosts.allow of the server, and not in the hosts.deny? [13:52] adaptr: And running? [13:52] ackbahr: not necessarily running, no, sinc the running part is the display, which is remote [13:53] ackbahr: but you do need all X libraries installed [13:53] enzotib: I didn't understand a single word of what you just wrote.... [13:53] adaptr: I'll try it nonetheless.... :) [13:53] ackbahr, on an ssh server there are two files, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny that specify which client can access the server [13:54] adaptr: Without anymore success! :) [13:54] enzotib: So I should check if my current client's IP is in the "hosts.allow" list? [13:55] a friend say that there is a project named ubuntu from scratch. I had been looking for on internet And I cannot find anything. what do you know about it? [13:55] ackbahr, read man hosts.allow and hosts.deny [13:55] what is the file to see the home user path ? [13:55] I'll do it and be back in a few hours probably.... :p [13:56] ackbahr, and of course, if the server has graphical apps available, it has X and libraries installed [13:56] enzotib: it does indeed [13:56] hi there [13:56] how can i run the kde control center from console [13:57] what command shud i give ? [13:57] enzotib: But I can perfectly use all the non-graphical stuff on the server, so am I not in the allowed users? [13:57] silv3r_m00n, kcontrol [13:57] ackbahr, ok, you can [13:57] ackbahr, from your X server run "sudo xhost +" [13:58] enzotib: What do you mean "from you X server"? [13:58] ackbahr, in your client machine you need a running x server, from a terminal run that command [13:59] enzotib: Ok, so from a "client" shell [13:59] anyone have any issues with kernel 2.6.27.11 ?

[14:01] enzotib: yes.... when I'm logged into the server, do I just need to type the name of the app, or is there some prefix to say "run here, but display there?" [14:02] adityag: have you tried to add your user in the www-data group ? [14:02] wene_: no, how do i do that ? [14:02] adityag : chown can help too [14:02] ackbahr, no particular procedure is required [14:02] command groupadd or addgroup ( i dont remember ) [14:02] ZhouYu: i know but adding this user to www-data grp will be better [14:03] ackbahr, so you che ssh -X into the server? the error happens when you launch the app? [14:03] enzotib: Ok.... The display layer (metacity or compiz) is based on the client, I suppose? [14:03] anyone know how to add a user to www-data group ??? [14:03] enzotib: Well, I did ssh -X , but maybe I'm going to do that again since I changed something.... [14:03] hoc can I identify a USB device in /dev/ that is connected to my PC?

[14:06] Staticwave_Ace, replace network manager at once then [14:06] bjb1959, how did you install it?

I currently have the Nvidia 9800 GX2. [14:08] nobody knows the answer of this simple question ? ( how to assign a home folder to www-data user ? ) [14:08] I'd always go nvidia, but that's really just personal preference [14:08] Stalker72, i would keep the money and use the 9800 [14:09] enzotib: No, I had mistyped the ssh command, so I was still on the local computer (my mistake) [14:09] Hi folks, just wondering if any of you know a decently priced bluetooth headphone that works with 8.10 [14:09] jim_p: I'm selling the whole computer [14:09] jim_p: So I can't ;) [14:09] Stalker72, then its nvidia [14:09] jim_p: Ok, thx. It's more expensive thoug. [14:09] jim_p: *though [14:09] Stalker72, for how much ? :P [14:10] jim_p: How much the 260 costs? [14:10] Stalker72, well you can find a cheaper nvidia that will work for linux just fine. unless you dual boot with win of course [14:10] Stalker72, the entire system [14:10] enzotib: So any other idea? [14:11] hi all members [14:11] jim_p: About $1,500 [14:11] hi teseo [14:11] Stalker72, wow [14:11] jim_p: The currency is high though [14:11] jim_p any ideas on uninstalling the beta driver? I used the run file from the nvidia site [14:11] Hi. I've been working on this all night, and haven't gotten it figured out. Trying again for a new helper. Basic issue: Installing from 8.10-alternate-desktop iso from hdd using this technique https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to boot the iso from hdd. It works, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. Maybe [14:12] bjb1959, i think it comes with some uninstal parameter [14:12] ok, I'll google that and see if I can find anything. [14:12] chaps. got a nvidia gf 5200 card and dual head (twinview/ubuntu8.10/compiz/gnome). when I run things like nexuiz or openarena it splits in two monitors.how to force it to run only one monitor properly? [14:12] ackbahr, so the error wrong auth appears when you launch the app, after having logged in with ssh? [14:12] dio444, cant you use a live cd or cfdisk to partition the drive so as to be ready? [14:13] to go back to windows [14:13] RizR, its somewhere in nvidia settings i think [14:13] no, it has no cd. and it's IS already pasrtitioned === odin is now known as Guest66842 [14:13] the installer just won't see it even though fdisk can from busybox [14:13] dio444, did you format the partitions as well?

[14:14] I need to disable swap and tried swapoff -a but this didnt work, it says it cannot find the file/folder. What can I do? [14:14] Guest66842, dd it with zeroes [14:14] at the "preparing partitions" step, it shows no hdds to choose to install to, and refuses to continue the installer [14:14] RizR, extended desktop or something [14:14] enzotib: Yes [14:15] irc://freeitaly.org [14:15] Hi all...

Does it suggest anything to you? [14:50] Hmm only 100 more updates to go... [14:50] rbs-tito: I think i'm simply missing a codec even though I see people recompiled ffmpeg in the past to get supprot for .3gp. [14:50] no ackbahr [14:50] is there any way to make my linux detect the screens ? [14:50] I did install w32codecs. [14:51] That's a lot of packages for Firefox..

[16:22] Can be, but I am not sure which phase is it now for my install process. [16:23] I do not have any prompt [16:23] ciao, come faccio a cambiare il nome del pc su ubu 8.10?

[16:23] jbmigel: good question really. maybe you're right =) [16:24] ?? about SONY VGN-NR21S?? [16:24] yes, it worked. [16:24] jbmigel: basically, what I really want is for Netowrk Manager to work [16:24] with 3-g modem [16:24] can i name a usb key ? under nautilus ? [16:24] Daniel_Mihaly: maybe it's damaged. if it worked before I can't think why now it says "insert disk" when the disk is there. [16:25] gamla_ko1san, system -> administration -> software sources -> Updates -> Release uprgrade -> normal release [16:25] I try another one, if you say that Interpid Ibex disk is the same.. [16:26] sadik, we need to figure out what wireless card you have, then we can find out of your wireless card is even supported. Your pc is a dutch model and i cant find any information on it. [16:26] Daniel_Mihaly: you're trying to install intrepid ibex server, I believe? Well, the server disk and the desktop disk are not exactly the same. They install different things.

[16:28] Neaai, Yes [16:28] Neaai, I don't know how, so the only way is if I put a launcher on the desktop with the command of File System [16:29] guys can anyone help me with the ebox mailserver? [16:29] Tonno: nautilus / [16:30] Tonno: you can create links yourself easily.

[16:31] Hi, I'm running Xubuntu 6.06, and I'm trying to get a friend's PATA/IDE hard drive with XP on it hooked up to my computer... But my HDD's cable only has one plug, so I unplugged the CD drive's and plugged the hard drive in there. But for some reason it didn't want to work; it didn't show up as a device.

[16:33] kley did you try going back to nv driver? does it fix? [16:33] exodus_ms: ...but it didn't work. weird. (I mean, apt-get dist-upgrade didn't work.) [16:33] Jorophose: it should show up normally. See if you can change the jumper settings from cable-select to master or slave in this disk you want to add. Sometimes those jumpers do the trick. [16:34] actualy i removed network manager applet and reinstaled it [16:34] Jorophose: or the other way around, from master to slave or c-s, or from slave to master or c-s, and so on. [16:34] gamla_ko1san, try Update Manager, see if it list an update? [16:34] now you can see ai even loged in to irc , but no wireless acces [16:34] Neaai: How do I do that?

[16:35] kley - many wireless cards stopped working since the last kernel update and need new drivers which arent being released by the companies. try checking the main page [16:36] gamla_ko1san, cool, but like jbmigel, said if your current version is working.... Why upgrade, it is an lts version [16:36] Jorophose: you said you unplugged your cd drive and plugged the other disk. I asume the cd is in channel-2 ide of the motherboard. I'd expect your own hd to be on channel-1 ide and you're not touching it so normally no boot ordering should be changed. [16:36] Neaai: ok, then how do I change jumper settings?... [16:37] i know , but i have no problems since today , and i never nedded my wireless card [16:37] but now i need your help , cause i think the problem is that i did something , ubuntu is the most beatyful thing i ever seen [16:37] Jorophose: You will have to take that other hd and see the jumpers it has. ide disks normally do have jumpers. There should be a legend explaining the positions of the jumpers, how they should be in each case: master, slave, and cable select. [16:38] Hi all does anyone know about ATheros wireless card?

[17:47] audiopathik: that will install the kde desktop environment and all of the kde apps associated with [17:47] hischild, yea, but for example i have openoffice already installed, and kubuntu comes with that too, will it download and install it again altough?

[17:48] postfix [17:48] Ward1983: :p is the laptop of my grandfather ;) [17:48] audiopathik: the package manager is samrt enough to know what you already have installed === DASPRiD is now known as DASPRiD|off [17:48] NoiZe, i figured something like that lol :) [17:48] Does anyone know how to set different pictures/backgrounds for gnome. I realize kde can do this, and I have read ways put you have to disable show desktop in nautilus, but I found this didn't work either. Anyone q:0) [17:49] thanks :> [17:49] I'm new to the linux universe. I've been trying to install the ATI drivers for my computer, but it isn't working. I was following the instructions listed on ATI's website for the proprietary drivers. Can anyone give me a hand? [17:49] thorin81, that doesnt sound very well lol, sorry i cannot help with that but it has to do with your kernel [17:49] neaai, postfix works great, internaly, but not to the outside... :( [17:49] !ati | reepime [17:49] thorin81, is this a fresh installation? [17:49] <[^martin]> hi all, my wireless card is working fine on reboot from the config in the interfaces file. However, it drops out and then I can't get it to come back up; dhcpclient gets no offers etc. anyone? [17:49] Does anyone know how to set different pictures/backgrounds for each workspace gnome. I realize kde can do this, and I have read ways put you have to disable show desktop in nautilus, but I found this didn't work either. Anyone q:0) [17:49] x-calibur: check with your ISP on their policy [17:49] oops [17:49] Ward1983: :p is the laptop of my grandfather ;) [17:49] sorry for flood [17:49] Question: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and i've plugged in an external monitor. Now i only can clone the displays or make an enlarged desktop. I only want that the plugged monitor is working. How can i do this? [17:49] ward1983: any idea who can help? [17:49] NoiZe, i figured something like that lol :) [17:49] x-calibur: most home isp's will block 25 at the network level, so checking with them first will remove a LOT of trouble shooting [17:49] Ubuntu is no better the Windows. [17:49] neaai, i think it has to do with my domain name, as i`m fairly sure telfort doesnt block port 25 [17:50] Ad, i got the jwm. but not sure if it is because of the link u gave. coz, i created ~/.xinitrc and added exec /usr/bin/jwm [17:50] NoiZe | !patience [17:50] ScottG: use whatever works for you [17:50] ok [17:50] !ati [17:50] thorin81, dunno ask, if someone can help they will reply (which sometimes takesl ong) [17:50] i will chack [17:50] check [17:50] Ward1983: lol [17:50] ikonia: oh good i finally got someones attention [17:50] thorin81, if its a new isntallation you might aswell reinstall it === Mud is now known as Mud|game [17:50] !away > Mud|game [17:50] NoiZe, nvidia by any chance? [17:50] so no takers to my questions aww [17:50] also i was looking for jwm in the select session page but it is some Run XClient ..something like that [17:50] CntrySheepFahker: what was the question, I didn't see one [17:51] hi, got problem with gnome. i can't log on. .xsession-errors : http://paste.ubuntu.com/90084/. only one display. [17:51] ikonia: How to change pictures/backgrounds in each workspace in gnome.. I know kde does this from what I read. [17:51] Ward1983: don't know the command to look it up... it's a Dell inspiron 6000 [17:51] ikonia: I just cleanly installed ubuntu, downloaded and installed updates, and I'm still having the same problems on my laptop. About a minute after I log in they keyboard stops working, the GNOME menu's dont work (they just light up when i click on them), if I change the brightness of my monitor the little window doesn't go away, etc............................................Can someone please help!??!?!?!! [17:51] CntrySheepFahker: thats not supported, it's one background per "session" you can't have different per workspace [17:51] ScottG: why ar eyou asking me [17:52] anyway got to do some editing before i can hav a decent jwm desktop... :) thanks Ad for the link.. (not sure if u r still here.. :) ) [17:52] ikonia: I also found an article that u can do this but u have to disable show desktop in nautilus, and add the pics in compiz, but it doesn't work for me. [17:52] ScottG: I suggest you use whatever operating system you want, rather than shock tacktics to get attention [17:52] ikonia: because ive asked the same question here about 5 times in the past 20 minutes without a response from anyone [17:52] ScottG: also ............................... isnt needed it just takes up space [17:52] NoiZe, erm... its kindof hard to configure a computer if you don't know whats inside it :p [17:52] NoiZe, do lspci | grep nVidia [17:52] ikonia: then what do you suggest, because i am far beyond frustrated right now. [17:52] ikonia: check this link out, he claims u can.. http://anuragbansal.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/how-to-get-different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu/ [17:53] which is faster? moving to usb 2 device and then out from it or straight with local network windows fileshare [17:53] x-calibur: I see. Well as ikonia said you might want to talk to them. if your domain is currently handled by your isp or any other party, contact them. there are many issues for you might be able to send to the world but not receive as incoming goes to isp. So you might want to do a smartpop configuration but the isp may need to alter stuff on that side too for this. [17:53] does anyone know how to gix a screen not found error ? ive tried using multiple window mangers, and its not working [17:53] CntrySheepFahker: I don't think the current compiz version supports it, there are patches to try to make this work, but I don't believe they are in the stock compiz-fusion build [17:53] NoiZe, do you get any results from that? [17:53] larza usually network, but depends on the speed of the USNa nd the speed of the network [17:53] the network seems slow [17:53] wired or wireless? [17:54] all wired [17:54] strange .... 10mbs or 100mbs ? [17:54] i think 100 [17:54] prob 100, if its anything recent [17:54] if my ac adapter supports 100 [17:54] the length of the cable can do it sometimes [17:54] ward1983: nope. But found VGA Controller: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [17:54] but thats not usually an issue [17:54] Can anyone help with error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic' beforeone installing new version I would rather not reinstall if possible... [17:55] NoiZe, ok so now you know what GPU it has at least :p sorry cannot help with intel [17:55] thorin81, you have the 2.6.27-7-generic kernel installed atm? [17:55] thorin81: it's trying to make a backup of the symlink that /boot has for the kernels, it's complaining about that [17:55] Does anyone know how to fix a no screens found error ?????????????????????????????? [17:55] ward1983: thanks anyway [17:55] NoiZe, (just a tip should you ever need it: lsusb works aswell) [17:55] NoiZe, noi problem [17:55] maslen: more people will know if you don't use ?????????????????????????? [17:55] Every chat BESIDES this one has offered some sort of help. I looked around and it seemed like ubuntu was the best OS for me to try to start out with linux and learn but im starting to think otherwise [17:55] hischild: I am not sure - how do I check? [17:55] ScottG: ok, so don't use it [17:55] length is pretty long [17:56] ScottG: as I said earlier, if you don't like it/want to use it, don't use it, but stop making "threats" to not use it [17:56] from computer to ac adapter to anotehr ac adapter to router to pc [17:56] thorin81: open a terminal and run: uname -r [17:56] 100 meters ? [17:56] AC adapter? you're using the network through the electricity in the house > [17:56] Question: Can anybody help me to set up a external monitor with intel graphiccard? [17:57] thorin81, dpkg -l | grep 2.6.27-7 <-- copy paste that please and tell me if it gives an output. DO NOT paste in this channel. [17:57] ikonia is there a way to check if port 25 is blokked by my isp, as i cant find anything about it/.' [17:57] NoiZe, look into xrandr [17:57] ardchoille, hisname: it says 2.6.27-9 generic [17:57] ikonia: yes well i still believe it is better but im not getting any help. im not making threats, im asking for help [17:57] Hi, I'm working with i8kbuttons, and I think I almost have it, but I need to know the syntax. Whenever I pass sudo i8kbuttons -u "mixer + 5" it tells me invalid argument. I need to know what my main audio mixer would be called [17:57] x-calibur: contact your isp [17:57] ScottG, its not exactly a simple problem, i wouldnt even know where to begin to solve that, the more dificult the problem, the less people that CAN reply, + people with good knowledge generally dont have much time [17:57] lartza : those conncetion speeds SUCK, use USB instead, with an external HD for the best speeds then, for sure [17:57] hajmola: and then? [17:57] ward1983: Then what do you suggest I do? [17:58] ScottG, also people do not OWE you any help... [17:58] ScottG, wait untill someone replies... [17:58] ScottG: I'm reading what your saying in ##linux to, so - as I said "stop" making threats, and stop saying "oh, it's poor, I may not use it" either wait patiently for help, when someone is free, or don't use it, but your threats are not needed [17:58] x:calibur all you would need to do is forward a port from your router, to your computers IP adress, and then use a site like GRC shields up, to test if the port is accessible [17:58] thorin81: so you're trying to install an older version of the kernel? [17:58] NoiZe, xrandr is a command-utility for managing monitors. There's also a GUI version in the repos called grandr I think [17:58] !find grandr [17:58] Found: grandr [17:59] When I try to install the ATI Drivers (per the instructions on the forum (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI)) I get an error "bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run: Permission denied". When I try the command with sudo, I get "sudo: ./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run: command not found". [17:59] hajmola, yeah. [17:59] ScottG, also: tell the people here your mouse didnt even work in windows :@ FFS [17:59] hischild: I do get info after that, but what am I looking for? [17:59] maslen, i need port 25 to send mail from [17:59] !ati | reepime (ubottu was down before, use this link instead) [17:59] reepime (ubottu was down before, use this link instead): For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:59] hajmola: i see both diplay. I want to disable the laptop monitor. Actually i can only have cloned screens or an enlarged. If i use cloned screens i only can have the resolution of the laptor monitor. [17:59] i cant contact my provider, because its freakin sunday :s [17:59] Thanks. [18:00] ScottG: there are several other avenues for support in ubuntu including paid routes. Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support [18:00] I'm looking for a Video editor on linux simular to adobe premium, and also a good audio editor, any advise? === b33r is now known as Guest86313 [18:00] Ward1983: well it did work. it worked better then on ubuntu. To be honest I dont have anything against ubuntu ive just had problems with my new laptop for the past 3 weeks straight and im just at my tipping point right now. [18:01] x:cal;ibur go on portforward.com, and forward a port to your computer, they have guides on setting up the routers. Then test if that port is open on http://www.grc.com/intro.htm [18:01] (cant give a link on grc, since they make custom URL's or something_ [18:01] NoiZe, to be honest, i have an nvidia card (which doesn't play nicely with xrandr) but look through some xrandr documentation and online tutorials. I'm pretty sure you can do what you want [18:02] Can anyone help me with a screen not found error ? still having problems with that [18:03] ikonia port 25 is open, as i read on a users forum [18:03] x-calibur: don't speak to user, contact your ISP [18:03] x-calibur: I'm not sure how many times I can say the same thing over and over [18:03] x-calibur: contact your ISP to get factual information [18:03] ardchoille: That is an update that is listed in the Udate Manager - I am just going off of what that is telling me [18:04] hajmola: thanks.. i managed to do it with grandr [18:04] Hello. What does the followinf error message mean? "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3" [18:04] I can find the manpages on i8kbuttons, but I don't know what it means. Could someone please help me decode some of it? [18:04] yes, i understand, but i wanted this thing to work today [18:04] and today i cant contact my isp [18:04] NoiZe, nice :) always feels good to fix a problem [18:04] because they are closed [18:04] Does anyone know how to make openbox use the menu in ~/.config instead of the global one? [18:04] x-calibur: I suggest you look at the mail logs to get an initial idea to see why mail is not being sent out [18:05] hj [18:05] x-calibur: be aware as well LOTS of isp's will bounce mail sent from an home dhcp connection [18:05] How t connect on irc.evolu.net with XChat ? [18:05] ikonia, gmail is bouncing my mail ;) [18:05] Please ? [18:05] Babilomax: /help server [18:05] x-calibur: well, I suspect that is the problem [18:05] x-calibur: without any investigation I mean, it is quite common for isp's to bounce home connectins [18:06] SERVER [18:06] can i send via my isp`s smtp over php? [18:06] or via gmail or something like that? [18:07] x-calibur: talk to the guys in ##php about mail() function and how to set it up [18:07] yes [18:07] your right [18:07] thanks for the help [18:07] i am having a bitch of time getting xdmx to run and i've read everything i can find.. any Xdmx users? [18:07] When I try to change the volume with my laptop controls, a little graphical volume thing pops up, but the volume does not change. Can anyone help me fix this? [18:08] Zerocool947: what laptop model? [18:08] hey could anyone give me the term command for enabling update from hardy to intrepid? [18:08] i need some quick help with my panel icons, can someone help? [18:08] Zerocool947: my sound changes on my sony laptop but sometimes it mutes itself randomly and it doesn't always go up evenly [18:08] does anyone know of a script that will take one file of multiple images (with whitespace in between) and separate the images into new files?

[18:09] Jaymac: it's a dell latitude D830. I have i8kbuttons, but I can't quite figure out how to use it [18:09] i accidentally clicked remove from panel on my pidgen and gmail checker, now they're gone, how can i get them back up there? [18:10] [^martin], you mind removing the odd signs from your nick? makes it hard to type / tab complete. Perhaps it didn't release it's ip? Did you try to manually restart it again after? [18:10] hello, I have an ubuntu install on one computer that I want to migrate to another computer by dumping it to an external usb disk... can I just rsync it to the disk and install grub? [18:10] biostar: go to Applications > Internet and click and drag Pidgin to the bar [18:10] same for gmail checker [18:10] x-calibur: can you send emails from that host if you normally would with say, evolution mail ? [18:10] <[^martin]> hischild: sure - 2 mins === [^martin] is now known as MartinE [18:10] i didn't lose the app launcher icon, but the status icon [18:11] biostar: right click on panel, add to panel... add the notification area applet [18:11] MartinE, much better. Thanks. Anyway, sudo dhclient could give you an IP, but did you also try the nm-applet? [18:11] hischild - I've tried ifdown/ifup and the same result [18:11] add the what? ..sorry [18:11] biostar: notification area... scroll downa nd you'll see it [18:11] I had it working fine with nm-applet, I'm trying to switch to a config via interfaces file so that it comes up automatically at boot (it's a wireless card) [18:12] ah [18:12] MartinE, i see. Oh wait, we're talking wlan here? [18:12] thanks jay [18:12] hello can someone with wacom experience look at my xorg file and see if i have it setup properly? http://pastebin.com/d4a3e34f4 [18:12] yeah, tried setting things manually via iwconfig, tweaking interfaces file, everything I could think of, but it just dies as soon as I take it down and back up [18:12] what is the password for [18:12] but, it works on a reboot (until it drops the connection after about 1/2 an hour) [18:13] thanks all! bye [18:13] sftp with ubuntu [18:13] ? [18:13] since i added that information to xorg.conf my pc boots in safe graphics [18:13] http://pastebin.com/d4a3e34f4 [18:13] anyone know if you can add right click menu items in gnome like in xfce [18:13] yes loveinvein [18:14] i am trying to see the files from my windows machine on ubuntu [18:14] MartinE, hmm ... i see. From what i understand so far, wlan doesn't reconnect automatically. [18:14] i can see the machine but i cannot see the files [18:14] when i click on it [18:14] maslen: I noticed 13gb isnt the amoun to transfer through electricity [18:14] Carlos_Tico, put the files on windows in Shared folder [18:14] oh yeah [18:14] they are shared [18:14] Larza: the electric wired internet speed sucks, highly not reccomended [18:15] Carlos_Tico, did you run network setup wizard in windows and enable file sharing? [18:15] but i think i need to put the password and user in somewhere in ubuntu [18:15] right ? [18:15] maslen: well i only use it for my internet that sucks too [18:15] Is there any way to get VirtualBox to recognize an OS that's already installed on another partition? [18:15] 1mb [18:15] hischild - so the best solution is via nm? I will have to get nm to stop asking for keychain pass then [18:15] and there is no other way to connect it [18:15] only if your on windows trying to access a shared ubuntu folder [18:15] yeah ... no probelm with that i can do it from other windows machine but i have to put the user and password [18:15] and the speed didnt suck much on 24mb internet [18:15] MartinE, do you use a script to auto restart the networking? [18:15] Larza: its speed is around a max of a 11mbs a second if I reemember, but it can get a ton of interference. You could try draft N stuff, it would would probably be a lot faster [18:16] wireless didnt work without repeaters [18:16] zerocool: not that I know of [18:16] can you upgrade 32 bit to 64 bit with an apt-get command? [18:16] so that was second solution [18:16] 6d318c88913586b9d5e9cde84ad22474 [18:16] i dont mind it [18:16] hischild - not at the moment (but as a manual restart kills it, I'm guessing a script would too) [18:16] does anyone know of a script that will take one file of multiple images (with whitespace in between) and separate the images into new files? [18:16] Larza: ouch* .... a centrally wired router maybe? a USB drive is defeintly faster [18:16] any idea [18:16] Carlos_Tico, wich machine do you want the folder to be on the windows or ubuntu? === CntrySheepFahker is now known as blah [18:16] to fix that user and password for samba [18:16] centrally wired? === blah is now known as okokok [18:16] I just can't quite see why restart kills it, but a reboot can bring it up [18:17] i want to see from linux the folder of windows [18:17] kdub: no, you have to install the 64 bit [18:17] Hi. Three days trying to print a postscript file. I think it's printer drivers issue. The pages of the file are horitzontal, and evince printes them vertical messing up everything. Please help. [18:17] kdogg can you point me to it? [18:17] @larza shove a router somewhere in a closet, and run ethernet cables everywhere, mucho fsater [18:17] i want to share my music between windows a ubuntu [18:17] maslen: that was the problem, 10meter cable isnt enough and it would need to run through whole apartment [18:17] twice... [18:18] you can get up to 100 Meters without intereference [18:18] if i rem correctly [18:18] Carlos_Tico, you have to make a password for your windows user [18:18] and by the way :D [18:18] my ac adapter conencts to another ac adapter on routers port 2 [18:18] i have a password [18:18] but [18:18] hischild - I'm just going to get it setup with nm again (so it at least works!) then see if I can give nm keychain permissions so it doesn't prompt [18:18] i have a user and a password [18:18] thanks for your response [18:19] also other computers ac adapter connects to same ac adapter and port :P [18:19] but how to put that on the ubuntu machine [18:19] MartinE, how did you set it up before then?\ [18:19] Carlos_Tico, but it doesnt work? [18:19] when i click on the machine [18:19] it doesnt show my shared folders on windows [18:19] its empty on ubuntu [18:19] dont know why [18:19] or where do i have to put the user and password for the samba share ? [18:19] is there any flashget like app for linux [18:20] shovi: yes [18:20] just google linux download manager [18:20] Carlos_Tico, it should ask you when you click on the windows machine [18:20] k [18:20] @larza the best way for you to transfer would prbably be with an adhoc network, between the two computers [18:20] @larza if they are anywhere near each other [18:20] it didnt asked me [18:20] maslen: well i dont want to change the network [18:20] its for internet mostly [18:21] Carlos_Tico, go to Places>Network [18:21] hi, I have install ubuntu 8.10 yesterday on my pc, today I try to run vista on the same machine and I got "BOOTMGR is missing".. any help? [18:21] ok [18:21] and the distance is over the 10meter for the 10meter cable i don't have [18:21] do you see the windows network icon? [18:21] hischild: before I just did an out-of-the box graphical nm setup; this was trying to move the WEP key into the interfaces file so it came up at boot and stayed up [18:21] larza: I understand that, but if they are near each other, and far from the router, an ad hoc network would prob get you better speed, then the powerline. YOu can have BOTH, without any issues, one for sharing files, and one for the internet [18:21] I just plugged in my Flash Drive and i'm getting: "... end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector ..." [18:22] MartinE, i see. [18:22] umm [18:22] ok i ma on places network [18:22] other is near router nad other the over 10 meters :) [18:22] an di can see mshome and workgroup [18:22] does 'ubuntustudio-desktop' install a new WM which i can choose to log in with, or does it edit the existing gnome install? [18:22] mshome is the windows network and workgroup is the linux machine [18:22] how can i change that to mshome [18:23] running intrepid with pidgin 2.5.2, it keeps locking up, havent been able to find a log that helps at all, no errors when run from the terminal either. anyone else experiencing this or have a fix? [18:23] Carlos_Tico, you go to the system control panel thingy and change it i believe [18:23] in windows* [18:23] no i mean in Ubuntu [18:24] is there a way to change it [18:24] your hostname? [18:24] form workgroup to mshome [18:24] uhh [18:24] help anyone?

[19:22] hi there, how do you change the default keyring password in gnome? [19:22] force, yea i think you're right. but it seems issue.net doesnt allow remote ip. so as i said you can do it with the logon script for bash [19:22] n8tuser: what is that? [19:22] and it doesn't respond to kill with normal parameters, kill -5 will kill it [19:22] how do I find out the drive name? [19:22] also, is it possible to make it remember the password nd not prompt you for it? [19:22] xxxxx-> man awk [19:22] I'm using 8.10, how can I get a "low latency kernel" or a "multimedia-optimized kernel" [19:23] force, try this create a file ~/.bash_login and put who in it [19:23] n8tuser: im really new to linux [19:23] juancabrito: have a look at ubuntustudio [19:23] xxxxx-> now is a good time to learn these tools [19:23] force, next time you login from ssh you should the output of who command which would tell you all users that are currently logged in [19:23] just wonder if there is something to add to ls> filename.txt that will make the output more organised [19:23] jban, if it's the first drive, do fdisk /dev/sda and find out the partition number there [19:24] usser_: uhm, but I guess this will only executed if the login did not fail, won't it? [19:24] xxxxx-> kindly google for ls and awk and pipe [19:24] usser_, yes [19:24] err [19:24] xxxxx: its pretty organised when it prints the terminal isn't it? tables etc [19:24] anyone familiar with VNUML please? [19:24] force, yes, then i dont understand your question [19:24] !ubuntustudio [19:24] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [19:24] force, if login failed u wont see issue.net either [19:24] jacobw: I'm actually playing with ubuntu studio 8.10 right now.. seems to have quite a lot of stuff, just not the specific item Iḿ here today for :) [19:24] from the login screen, ctrl+alt+fkey will apparently change VTs, but will not show anything but the mouse cursor stuck where it previously was, over a grey background, it will allow me to change back. [19:24] seeker: whats that then? :) [19:25] usser_: you see the banner before the ssh-login-thing appears [19:25] tonsofpc1-> those are called console terminals or tty [19:25] n8tuser: not when they don't work they aren't [19:25] force, really let me test it [19:25] usser_ and with this banner I want to tell the scrippt-kiddie that their hacks will be logged [19:25] jacobw: x64 smp cinelerra... but packages are available, they just don seem to be both at the same time :( [19:25] tonsofpc1-> to change back its ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 or f9.. [19:25] n8tuser: googling now. thanks and jacobw it is organised but when i open text file in windows its jumbled together seperated by squares [19:25] force, i see [19:25] n8tuser: i am trying to get to a console term on vt1-6, it is not changing properly [19:26] tonsofpc1-> what do you meant by changing properly? [19:26] n8tuser, it's f7 [19:26] n8tuser: "8.10, installed 4 days ago, ctrl+alt+f1-6 causes the video output to change sync, then change sync back, then display a pointer cursor drawn over a black background where the mouse cursor was. the cursor does not move with any input and all keyboard inputs appear to be ignored. " [19:26] seeker: have you tried http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#intrepid [19:26] hischild-> if he had second user logged in, it could possibly go to f8 [19:27] n8tuser: after killing X and allowing it to reload [via gdm/init, i suppose], from the login screen, ctrl+alt+fkey will apparently change VTs, but will not show anything but the mouse cursor stuck where it previously was, over a grey background, it will allow me to change back. [19:27] n8tuser, no signs around names, breaks name highlighting ... still would give him a screen on f7 [19:27] I cannot see a proper terminal/login screen on vt1-6 [19:27] I tried fdisk /dev/sda and it said unable to open [19:28] hi guys === jcfp is now known as Guest46441 [19:28] hischild-> thats why i suggested f7 f8 or f9 to get it back, just in case [19:28] anybody could help me with gnome? [19:28] force, right you are [19:28] hischild: are you speaking of my issue? [19:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/90186/ [19:28] does anyone know of any power managers (that'll do suspend, hibenrate, etc.) that don't require X? [19:28] what is happen there?

[19:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/90186/ [19:28] tonsofpc1, if he is speaking about your issue, what i say may be related to it yes. [19:28] tonsofpc1-> can you list what is on /etc/securetty ?

[19:29] How do i find the correct window XP driver for ndiswrapper and ubuntu server ? [19:29] tonsofpc1-> do you see bunch of tty's listed? [19:29] n8tuser: yea [19:29] any ubuntu help in any portugese speaking country [19:30] any ubuntu help in any portugese speaking country [19:30] n8tuser, don't put arrows behind people's names. The name highlighting doesn't recognize their names then. hischild-> isn't the same as hischild, so it won't work then. [19:30] ricardo: #ubuntu-pt I believe [19:30] tonsofpc1-> what about at /etc/event.d [19:30] how can I check from the command line whether connecting to my socks server works ? [19:30] hischild-> oh okay, didnt realize it [19:30] n8tuser: file for tty1-6 [19:30] [and rcs, etc] [19:31] [if it helps, i had to kill X for restart via ssh, it would not recognize ctrl+alt+bksp] [19:31] tonsofpc1-> and if you cat tty1 what does it looks like?

(8.10) [19:32] foda sue mae [19:32] tonon: last I tried, flash 10 failed at too many things to use on linux... [19:33] tonsofpc1: loosing the software I've installed [19:33] good morning to all [19:33] juancabrito: ubuntu studio is just a bunch of packages all bundled together now, you can just install it via synaptic, it will tell you if it will cause anything to be removed, software wise. [19:33] anyone want to walk me through removing flash 10 and instaling 9? [19:34] ubuntustudio-desktop will rearrange and change your desktop background and UI elements, but it shouldn't remove any software unless it conflicts [19:34] what goes wrong here? http://pastebin.com/m49ea9fb [19:34] tonon: if its just as a plugin, you can just install 9, leaving 10, and just redirect the symlinks for moz/ff/etc to 9 [19:34] [that's what i did on 8.0.4] [19:34] *8.04] [19:34] n8tuser: any ideas? [19:34] tonsofpc1: thank you, I'll try to install it with synaptic now [19:35] hi xc1024 [19:35] ok now? [19:35] no [19:35] still the same [19:35] ok [19:36] usser_ okay, thank you for your help ;) [19:36] tonsofpc1: should I install everything named "ubuntustudio-"? [19:36] tonsofpc1 -> can you try sync; sync;sync; sudo telinit 1 this should get you to single user, and telinit 5 to get back to X [19:36] juancabrito: if you want all of ubunutustudio, yes. if you want just parts, then just those parts. [19:36] in the terminal, run 'dpkg-reconfigure xorg' and follow the prompts [19:36] okay [19:36] n8tuser: will that kill screen? [19:36] xc1024: describe the problem in this channel and someone will prob have had the same error before [19:37] [that's why i haven't changed runlevel yet, i'm running jobs inside screen that i don't want dead] [19:37] tonsofpc1 -> off course, single user mode does not have x [19:37] X [19:37] force, found anything? i cant think of anything besides a scripts that sits in the background and checks for incoming ssh connections [19:37] n8tuser: screen, the app running in bg, not the X screen. [19:37] guys [19:37] tonsofpc1: I need it just to work with Rosegarden, I will install only ubunutustudio-audio-plugins and ubunutustudio-audio [19:37] does anybody know of a euchre program for intrepid ibex? [19:37] just a euchre game [19:37] force, and modifies issue.net when a user connects [19:37] That's all I'm looking for [19:37] juancabrito: that will work [or you can just install rosegarden package if you want] [19:37] hi, got problem with gnome. xsess-err http://paste.ubuntu.com/90084/. single display. [19:37] I've searched all around the net [19:37] hi [19:37] and can't find it in the repositories [19:37] tonsofpc1 -> why dont you kill it? whats stopping you? [19:38] n8tuser: why don't I kill what? [19:38] tonsofpc1 -> whatever running in the screen shell [19:38] force, search the forums your problem sounds like something very commond [19:38] juancabrito: have you tried ardour? it is a similar thing to rosegarden [19:38] force, *common [19:38] n8tuser: well, #1, it's this irc client :) [19:38] jacobw, what now? [19:38] usser_ no, I havent found something yet... [19:38] but I'm still looking ;) [19:38] how can i browse my ms network? [19:38] When I change resolution to 800x600/52.0 my monitor reports "Over Range" and goes into power save mode. 1024x768/51.0 and 1280x1024/50.0 work fine. Why would 800x600/52.0 be unacceptable? And, given that it is, how can I remove it from the list of valid modes? [19:38] tonsofpc1 -> well i dont know what you wanted solve, you dont want to do things to test it, so you are on your own [19:38] tonsofpc1: I did it already, but I'm trying ubuntu studio because I'm getting a message that I need a "multimedia-optimized kernel" [19:39] n8tuser: I simply asked if it will kill screen [19:39] ok, go on switch user and try to log in with default (non failsafe) gnome [19:39] juancabrito: ah [19:39] jacobw: can I install it with synaptic? [19:39] kay [19:39] juancabrito: sure, just search for ardour [19:39] juancabrito: i think it is better than rosegarden to be honest with you [19:39] tonsofpc1 -> yes it will screen when change levels [19:39] juancabrito: rosegarden looks abit outdated to me [19:39] bye [19:40] jacobw: ok, tnx, I will then. do you work with it? [19:40] hrm... telinit 2 didn't do anything, trying 1, if i die, i'll run over to the windows2000 machine [tonsofpcs] [19:40] err, [tonswin] [19:40] does ANYBODY know of a euchre game for ubuntu!?!?!?!?! [19:40] no, i don't know the first thing about it but i've set it for someone [19:40] just looking at the rosegarden website, it looks abit old [19:40] Jacobw : doesn't work [19:40] jacobw: but maybe it also needs a "multimedia-optimized kernel" [19:41] jacobw: that's the problem I'm having with Rosegarden [19:41] juancabrito: it doesn't, i have it installed on my ubuntu normal [19:41] somebody using the intel x4500hd here? [19:41] with hdmi [19:41] Flash 10 works perfectly for me, just i get no sound. anyone know the fix?

[19:41] I have tried downloading that same program like FIFTEEN TIMES [19:41] xc1024: ok. could you paste the link to the error message again please [19:41] and it wont compile or install [19:42] ok. [19:42] ok, well, it killed the ssh connection... it seems to have killed X, and it showed the "ubuntu studio" screen with the black/white sliding over, went all the way to the right, stopped, and it's stuck there. [19:42] n8tuser ^ [19:42] jeremy_: not really an ubuntu specific problem [19:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/90084/ [19:42] here [19:42] thanks [19:42] yeah it is [19:42] does anyone know how to get sound working with flash 10? [19:42] because [19:42] I just need to know [19:42] where I can find one [19:42] jeremy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] oO strange a flood bot. [19:43] n8tuser - it appears it killed all networking as well [19:43] i'm not too sure tbh xc1024 === sale_ is now known as sale [19:43] tonswin -> that is what is expected [19:43] <\0Lo> Olá amigos 8) [19:43] i think it is trying to start XGL which is an outdated way of getting desktop effects [19:44] but past that i'm not too good with X problems [19:44] can you use the failsafe gnome ok? [19:44] yes [19:44] n8tuser - well, it doesn't appear to be simply a display issue, as attempting to login blind and telinit 5 isn't working... [19:44] jacobw - yeah I saw that but I can tell if they are actually x64 AND SMP. [19:44] is it the full gnome as you would expect? [19:44] well, almost [19:44] tonswin -> which level are you on now? [19:44] aonly that i have to go to sessions -> failsafe to enable [19:44] xc1024: maybe you could try posting a question in the forums [19:45] xc1024: ok, and thats only difference? [19:45] i'll try [19:45] n8tuser - 1 [19:45] i want to revert to 8.04 LTS, what is the easiest way in your opinion? [19:45] yes [19:45] /join #kde [19:45] ok, maybe besides this prompt before session [19:45] xc1024: thats ok until you find a resolution then isn't it? [19:45] tonswin -> okay, you dont have X nor networking in level 1 [19:45] what resolution? [19:45] i mean its ok until you can find how to fix the problem [19:45] cmdbbq: new installation [19:45] cmdbbq: reinstall [19:46] yes [19:46] ok, great, then my advice would be to ask on the ubuntuforums [19:46] :) [19:46] n8tuser - right, I know that, i was just stating what happened, as it isn't showing me a console as it should in runlevel 1 [19:47] tonswin -> huh? you dont see the console while in level 1 ? [19:47] ok, i'll try [19:47] *making new topic* [19:47] heh [19:47] n8tuser - nope [19:48] tonswin -> you seem to have a fubaared install [19:48] what goes wrong here? http://pastebin.com/m49ea9fb (VNUML / socket related)) [19:48] n8tuser - i didn't see it while in 5 the other runlevels either [19:48] hello, can anyone help me with ssh? i cant manage to tunnel the ports channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [19:49] averno, can you ssh into that remote box?

[19:51] provo2: thats sounds right [19:52] slart: then I need to look into "jail" anymore ? [19:52] provo2, chrooting a person into a directory with ssh is called jailing them.

Is there a way to tell nautilus to always open a new tab instead of a new window? 'Cause this behaviour is quite annoying, particularly because the tab support is quite good. (Even the windows explorer supports this, so nautilus too ought to, doesn't it?). However, a search on google didn't provide answers to this question ;) [19:55] hischild: nop, thats the example, i have changed that to what i need [19:55] hello. i am currently installing World of Warcraft: Wraith of the Lich King. whenever i try to accept the end user lisence agreement the agree button is gray even when scrolled all the way to the bottom. can anyone help?

[19:57] hy [19:57] sattelite: I doubt you are looking for *the* gtk+ engine, because it's installed by default. You are most probably looking for an engine for gtk+, like the murrine engine [19:58] tilluxl when i install a theme it says me " GTK+ Theme engine NOT installed [19:58] Hi. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and get no resolutions higher than 800x600. Anyone knows how to fix that? [19:58] averno, what did you adjust?

[19:59] sattelite: I know that bug, it reads 'GTK+ Theme engine "" NOT installed' [19:59] plinioplug, try installing the driver for your video card [19:59] michaelklinckib1, wouldn't really know. I used the online installer to install wotlk, which worked fine.

(or i cant get it to work). so im using the online installer right now. [20:00] plinioplug, check in hardware drivers if it is installed [20:00] The driver is corrected installed.

[20:08] Ward1983: I think you misunderstood what I want ;) (and you didn't read what I already said *g*) I just want nautilus to open every window in a new tab, not only when I open a new tab manually [20:08] Slart: hm. yes, that's where I've been looking, too [20:09] tillux1, sorry didnt see it was #ubuntu === pdub|sleeps is now known as pdub [20:09] Is there any way to make ubuntu 8.1 detect my monitor?

[20:16] sudo kate [20:16] then try again [20:16] Yoyoto: there are several ways... gksudo gedit [20:16] or gedit [20:16] dan_, don't use sudo with graphical applications please. [20:16] Yoyoto: open it in a terminal with "gksudo gedit /path_to_file" [20:17] zcat[1], was that meant for me? [20:17] Hey when I search in synaptic it's not showing all the available packages. Why is this? [20:17] Elite: open up the Synaptic Package Manager... then one of the options is to configure what repositories you have enabled. enable the cdrom and the use synaptic to install it. or you could mount the cdrom, cd to the dir that has the packages, then use dpkg to install it [20:17] slart: oh. ok. [20:17] Elite, no, me.. ever since I upgraded to intrepid I have a 60hz refresh. It's giving me a migrane! [20:17] Yoyoto: or run "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit " is an even better way.. it does that copy you talked about etc. [20:17] hi how can i check if motheroard supports pci expres 16x? [20:17] hischild: the only difference I noticed between using sudo and gksudo is that gksudo pops up a nice little "ask for passwort"-dialog [20:17] the gksudo thing worked well [20:18] thank you [20:18] what goes wrong here? http://pastebin.com/m49ea9fb (VNUML / socket related)) [20:18] tillux1, there's more then just that.

(See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:18] hischild: thanks [20:18] onetinsoldier, I have no gui [20:18] Anyone knows how to make ubuntu detect my old apple 1705 monitor? (it worked well on 7.10) [20:19] Elite: ok... this command will probably mount the cdrom. mount /media/cdrom [20:19] and also k9copy unexpectedly exits.. wtf? [20:19] Elite: let me know if that works [20:19] hey everyone, I'm trying to get the integrated webcam working on an HP laptop, lsusb gives the ID as 090c:c371 Feiya Technology Corp. . And in dmesg it says "input: HP Webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-5/8-5:1.0/input/input10", any ideas as to how to get it working? [20:20] Elite, second time: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:20] Elite, now read it please [20:20] hehe, good experience with a webcam yesterday. Plugged it in. Ran ekiga. Problem solved! I love hardware like that! [20:20] Ward1983: he wants to install it from the cdrom tho [20:20] hischild: confirmed, app running, and the ssh give me same msg: channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [20:21] do i have to do something in the ssh server ? [20:21] plinioplug: do you have a copy of xorg.conf from version 7.10? [20:21] printer wasn't so easy though. Plugged it in drivers installed themselves. But it doesn't bloody print! Grr. [20:22] hmm, wonder if I can scavenge the xorg.conf from this macine for the other one. Similar card, similar monitor... [20:22] No, installed 8.10 over 7.10 (have xorg.conf for opensuse 10.2, that works well, too). [20:23] How do I use java to execute a jar file? java file.jar doesn't work nor java -classpath file.jar [20:23] doesn't the installer keep backups whenever it replaces xorg.conf? [20:24] SudoKing: do you know how the main is called? or try "java file" / "java mainclassname" [20:24] SudoKing, java -jar file.jar [20:24] or thatr [20:24] Elite: did you get the cdrom mounted? [20:24] plinioplug: one possible hack would be get the exact v-sync h-sync specs off the monitor and plug the specs into the device section of xorg.conf, might work f the proper video driver is working. [20:24] z [20:24] onetinsoldier, yea it mounted it [20:24] averno, shouldn't have to. Seems to be a server side issue, not really with SSH. I'm afraid won't be of much help. [20:25] Ward1983, shut up, the command didn't work or I wouldn't have asked agin [20:25] DRebellion: It says failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute [20:25] Elite, calm down there. [20:25] SudoKing, *shrug* [20:25] Elite: ok.. now you have to find ssh on there.. cd /media/cdrom [20:25] I've tried to copy parts of the working xorg.conf (modes, device, monitor etc) and then freeze when X restarts [20:26] where should it be? haha === soreau_ is now known as soreau [20:26] Elite: i'm not very good with the find command, hang on [20:26] LOL [20:26] onetinsoldier, i'll help [20:27] onetinsoldier, find . -type f /media/cdrom | grep [20:27] plinioplug: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, have you read the dmesg info from the boot process for errors, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:27] hischild: ok, i thanks!

[20:28] hello, i have a problem I cannot send email from my computer, using the account on my mail server [20:28] Elite, but listen to onetinsoldier [20:28] ? [20:28] hischild: dang.. it didn't find anything find /media/cdrom -type f | grep ssh [20:28] DRebellion: However it says no such file/directory even though the file does exist when I looked in the windows bat file command [20:28] <__8472> is here somebody who's familiar with Horde Framework, and it's Whups module??? [20:28] I executed the java command [20:28] !find ssh [20:28] Found: kdessh, openssh-blacklist, openssh-blacklist-extra, openssh-client, openssh-server (and 42 others) [20:29] onetinsoldier, any reason not use the normal repo's? [20:29] hischild: .deb packages are on the cdrom aren't they? [20:29] on server i use ubuntu server + postfix [20:29] onetinsoldier, you'll also need the blacklist package. And you need the laternate CD. [20:29] tct13: check tail -f /var/log/mail.log while trying to send [20:29] ok a sec [20:29] hischild: i don't know, you'd have to ask Elite. he seemed to want to install it off the crom [20:29] <__8472> is here somebody who's familiar with Horde Framework, and it's Whups module??? [20:29] hischild: i don't know, you'd have to ask Elite. he seemed to want to install it off the cdrom. perhaps ssh is not on the cdrom? [20:29] anyone know if you can install songbird from the package manager? [20:29] how come top is seeing 61 instances of console-kit-daemon running? [20:29] is that normal?

[20:46] onetinsoldier: the stickied multimedia one. It seemed to have something to do with video, and I should have read the details but it took away lots of GNOME stuff, kernal stuff, network.

[20:51] well VioletsPie whats in Beta keepass that you need so bad that cant be done in the keepass that runs in wine? [20:51] onetinsoldier: it was after the "quick method" described on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 that i was prompted to "partial upgrade" that removed nvidia, networking, gnome, grub, videobox [20:51] Can someone help me with my splash screen [20:51] ?

[20:52] belgacem23: ok ty :) [20:52] VioletsPie: i was just trying to tell you how to 'hopefully' get help from this channel. i wasn't trying to say i can help with the problem. but i'll take a look. just don't expect anything from me tho... [20:52] mn: all you need to know, be cautious https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash [20:54] onetinsoldier: no need to look thanks :) I was just sort-of wondering how I could prevent it from happening again, but I mean next time I'll always read the details. And what I mean I guess is some sort-of recovery/back-up.. I tried the recovery boots but they couldnt find a "recovery image" or something similar. [20:54] dmesg gives me some strange message: lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions [20:54] LTL: I tried to replace my splash screen and it didn't work and now I don't have one. [20:54] and we back on track... [20:54] does anybody know what thats supposed to mean? what are the privacy extensions? [20:54] LTL: there should be a strict warning about enabling that repo, imo. you should expect things to possibly break and be prepared to file a bug report. i know myself, but i wonder if some other people do [20:54] <__8472> i need an explanation about the Horde's - Whups module 'Query Builder" , because somehow i didn't understand it's purpose. well, i know for what the Queries are, but not that build mechanism. any advice pls? thx.

[20:54] jim_p: its only what i pasted [20:54] jim_p: from dmesg [20:55] __8472, can you please give us a url for it? [20:55] mn: follow the instructions on that page, insure /boot/grub/menu.lst has splash appended of the kernel line [20:55] VioletsPie: did the upgrade come up with a new kernel? Did you try the old kernel or you tried only the recovery mode? [20:55] VioletsPie: ok, roger. for backing up, I recommend searching google for the following... Ghost Unix ...aka g4u [20:55] elementz, do you get any other symptom?

[21:00] jim_p: yep, installed apache2 [21:00] firefly2442, then the rights and the like will be in some conf file [21:00] hello - does anyone know of some tools to help troubleshoot hardy heron external hard drive recognition?

[21:04] firefly2442: i haven't been following you situation, but perhaps there's and apache group? [21:04] [it tells me i lack permission] [21:04] onetinsoldier: oh ok, here's the issue, /var/www/ is owned by root [21:04] E: dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [21:04] onetinsoldier: that's really odd... hmm, ok [21:04] LTL, well, I just installed xmms2 thinking that would work. i'm lazy... want to just clickm on the file and listen... I'll try amarok though [21:04] E:_cache->open()failed,pleasereport [21:05] firefly2442, i think the entire /var is only root owned [21:05] firefly2442: well, i'm not familiar with setting up a server, so i'll just be quiet and stick to what i do know, lol. [21:05] can anyone tell me how to open a wmv file? [21:05] jim_p: I did an ls -l inside /var and it says root for www folder hmmmm :/ [21:06] firefly2442: just my opinion, changing ownership of /var/www is crazy. [21:06] wos, with any media player and with the w32codecs package installed! [21:06] LTL: yeah, I understand why, security risks and all [21:06] jim_p: it [21:06] firefly2442: if you have installed MC ( MidNigthCommander ) , su as root, with MC, go to the directory /var/www/ and with chmod and chown in the popup menu, it's easy to change. [21:06] jim_p: it's a cavalry [21:06] firefly2442: ok. cool. best of luck. [21:06] hommeentete, ? [21:06] firefly2442: i agree with LTL, don't change the permissions unless you read somewhere in the docs that you have to [21:07] jim_p: the external hard drive i bought -- it was really cheap - 250GB and I just overrode the filesystem [21:07] I have ubuntu installed and want to install it on a second external USB drive, can I just run the installer somehow, or do I need the ISO image? [21:07] could somone help me [21:07] lemme poke around on the NET some more here.... [21:07] jim_p: hardy heron lists it as one of my 'Places' but when I try to navigate to it, i get permission denied [21:07] hommeentete, i still dont get you [21:07] does anyone have a program for modifying the GRUB bootloader and the usplash through a gui? [21:07] jim_p: and sudo df -h doesn't see it [21:07] hommeentete, is it ntfs formatted? [21:07] you guys i need help with the desktop effects [21:07] i had it before i formatted my hard drive, it was really handy [21:08] Snipermaster002, are you on ati? [21:08] Snipermaster002: it won [21:08] wos: totem plays .wmv [21:08] jim_p: no i think i made it ext3 [21:08] ati? [21:08] 'Snipermaster002 it won't let you enable them? [21:08] oh ok [21:08] no i enable them [21:08] and press the keys [21:08] Snipermaster002, ati the gpu maker [21:08] Snipermaster002: your graphics card, what brand is it? ATI is a brand. [21:08] but it dont work [21:08] i dont know [21:08] how do u check [21:08] wos: a click in nautilus should launch it [21:08] firefly2442: i think that usually users make the web site/pages, then the root user installs them, changes the ownership and permissions of the files if needed. users never really go into the web server directories [21:08] Snipermaster002: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:08] Snipermaster002, lspci | grep VGA [21:08] Snipermaster002: might need to install ccsm as well [21:09] i have to install totem [21:09] Can someone help me with this Double Clock Speed Problem? I can't seem to get the solutions I've found to work. [21:09] if anyone is availiable to help me find something... [21:09] cq: with Unetbootin you can install Ubuntu on a flashdisk. [21:09] wos, totem is preinstalled. you have ti install the w32codecs [21:09] onetinsoldier: I guess, it's weird because in previous versions of Ubuntu when I did this, www-data owned that entire folder [21:09] thepizzanator_, ? [21:09] i had a program for changing grub and possibly the usplash also through a gui. i can't remember its name though [21:09] wos: jim_p is correct, w32codecs is a must. [21:10] ok so i installed the compiz and i dont know what my grpahics card is [21:10] firefly2442: hmmm, roger. there might be an issue, i don't know. [21:10] belgacem23: I have ubuntu installed already, I just need to do another installation for a drive on a computer that has no CD [21:10] it let you change how many seconds until the default OS botted, change the colours around, change the devault os and stuff like that, [21:10] booted* [21:10] Just to thank all of you... had solved the problem with my monitor higher resolution (adding ONLY the hsync and vsync on the xorg.conf solved the problem.) Just think the plug'nplay that recognized my monitor does not worked as expected. [21:10] hey, does anyone know how to change NAT settings correctly for vmware on ubuntu ? [21:10] I am trying to install on a system that needs intrepid for hardware, but a server kernel to get all the 4G RAM... There's no server kernel package available for intrepid? [21:10] and also um i accidntly insatlled 100 percnet ubuntu and i cant do systme recovery anymore beucase windows is dleted what can i do? [21:10] thepizzanator_, these are just NUMBERS inside the grub configuration file! ok the image is a variable! do you need gui for that? [21:11] jeward, install a 64bit kernel [21:11] jim_p: what i really want to do right now is change the usplash. I downloaded a custom one from gnome-look.org but i can't figure out how to install it. the readme doesn't make a whole lot of sense [21:11] jim_p: And everything will wpork fine including flash? [21:11] thepizzanator_, is it a .so file? [21:11] Hi I have a problem with my atheros wireless card, it doesn't seem to work at all. [21:11] jim_p: jsut a sec. i'm a total linux newb btw. >_> [21:12] thepizzanator_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash [21:12] help here with vmware. please ? [21:12] Snipermaster002: you've got too many problems, you need to take care of them one at a time [21:12] jeward, adobe made a 64bit flash but its still alpha version [21:12] venky10, tell us! [21:12] how can i install some telnet daemon so i can log into my ubuntu server via telnet? [21:12] haha [21:12] jim_p: 32 bit server kernel can use 4G RAM, no? [21:12] jim_p: can i just send you a screenshot fo everything that was inside the .gz file i downloaded? that might be easier... [21:12] Network doesn't work for the virtual machine [21:12] of* [21:12] Snipermaster002, you deleted windows. they are gone now. be careful next time [21:13] kirkt, you really don't want telnet [21:13] How can I build an i386 kernel for my eeepc from my 64bit quad core? What can I use to make an ubuntu kernel package for cross compiling? [21:13] kirkt: why use telnet when you can use ssh? [21:13] kirkt: word of advice use ssh server, not telnet [21:13] Gnea anything will work.. i just need something i can log into [21:13] so what do u do now? [21:13] jeward, with pae enabled yes. i dont like that option though. 64 bits is far safer choice [21:13] kirkt, apt-get install openssh-server [21:13] cq: you don't need a CD. Just an .iso on you HD and a flashdisk. [21:13] jlc: you'd need to configure the kernel to the eeepc specs - #ubuntu-eeepc should know how [21:13] belgacem23: cool, i'll try it... [21:13] jimP: Okay, should I just install a complete 64bit Linux then? [21:13] Can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card [21:14] jlc, and you can crosscompile, though its some legwork to set it up [21:14] theatrus will it run immediatly or should i configure it and stuff [21:14] Snipermaster002, accept that you lost all your data, make a new partition, install windows in there and restore grub when donw [21:14] B'soir [21:14] ozgurgerilla, me [21:14] kirkt, it'll start its self up right away [21:14] kirkt: just stick with ssh, unless you enjoy having people you don't know sniffing your telnet connection to capture everything you type (password included) [21:14] jeward, yea [21:14] Gnea: k, I wasn't sure if there was an option to fakeroot or something [21:14] Hi All. I currently have an ubuntu installation that has no network connection (broke with 8.10 upgrade). Can I boot from a livecd and chroot into the machines environment to install packages using apt-get? I want to try reconfiguring/recompiling the kernel but currently the tools are not installed. [21:14] jim_p: Is it easy to get the alpha flash? [21:14] fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch arch=i386 flavours="blah" [21:14] kirkt, use 'ssh kirkt@machine' on *nix systems, and something like PuTTY on windows [21:14] i dont think it started automatically, ps -ax | grep ssh brings nothing [21:14] je cherche à tester le débit d'un disque dur externe, y a t il un moyen facile pour ce test ? [21:14] something like that maybe [21:15] Hey, I just a have a quick question, I am trying to wrap my wireless, I need to run something in terminal, where do I access this terminal to run things in it? [21:15] jlc: i was referring to the .config, not the compile process [21:15] sorry [21:15] Can someone help me with this Double Clock Speed Problem? I can't seem to get the solutions I've found to work. [21:15] config no worries, its the building that I'm wondering [21:15] jim_p: my Atheros card doesn't work, I tried so many tutorials but it still doesn't work. any ideas? [21:15] kirkt, did it say it installed successfuly? [21:15] mrapollo, or you can just remove network manager and save yourself loads of time and mental peace [21:15] since atom processor is a tad slower than a quad core [21:15] i not in the french chan :p [21:15] theatrus yes should i restart or something/ [21:15] ozgurgerilla, lspci [21:16] jlc: why not just try to build it and see if it boots or not? [21:16] Will someone help me, I have a question about terminals? [21:16] jeward, give me a sec to look it up [21:16] jim_p: I tried that but it did not fix my network problem. I agree though just fixing the wireless somehow would be much nicer! [21:16] johnfinch: only if you ask the question [21:16] johnfinch: just ask the actual full question [21:16] I wasn't sure if there is something in the build process that has to be done for it to get installed on a different arch [21:16] I'll build one and see what it makes [21:16] is it possible to test the read/write transter to an external HDD (via USB) [21:16] transfert* [21:16] brb/checking kids nap time.... [21:17] jlc: as long as you have the atom cpu selected in your .config, it should figure itself out [21:17] Well, I'm trying to get my wireless card to work. I need to run a terminal apparently, I'm following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=B130+wireless [21:17] PLC: hdparm should work, but use with extreme caution.

How do I do that? [21:18] johnfinch: click on Applications->Accessories->Terminal [21:18] LTL: i've got a empty drive to test it [21:18] Cool, thank you.

Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [21:19] ok let me try [21:20] Gnea: oh my, to the car wash i go! [21:20] lol [21:20] ok so i am trying to format a flash drive into two partitions and for some reason when i put it into a windows machine it only shows one. Any suggestions? [21:20] Still having issues, changed ownership but no deal.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/90265/ [21:20] Ozgurgerilla: if you have 8.10 all u have to do is get the linux-backports-modules-intrepid then blacklist the ath_pci module restart and that's it it'll work [21:20] hi is there a special 8.04 channel? [21:20] MrPeepers310, does the windows disk management tool show both? [21:20] MrPeepers310: what filesystems did you use? [21:21] johannes__: no [21:21] Gnea: ext32 [21:21] theatrus: no just the one [21:21] MrPeepers310, FAT32 or EXT3? [21:21] MrPeepers310: ext3, ext2 or fat32? [21:21] theatrus: sorry i meant fat32 got confused lol [21:21] i installed w32codecs but accidentally didn' [21:21] there probably ought to be an #ubuntu-lts channel. [21:21] whoops [21:21] jim_p: it says it can't find package [21:22] zcat[1]: that's what this channel is. [21:22] 'cos intrepid is quite a bit different from hardy [21:22] jim_p: i took a screenshot of the usplash stuff i downloaded. it still needs to be compiled apparently... something that i don't know how to do. could you help me? [21:22] zcat[1]: it's inclusive, since most of the same solutions work on both [21:22] ozgurgerilla, madwifi-tools [21:22] i installed w32codecs but accidentally didn't check i agree when Sun JRE came up. is this a problem? how do i fix it? will it effect my movie playing? i still cant play the wmv file. [21:22] thepizzanator_, i am busy now :( [21:23] okay. just tell me when you can help me :) [21:23] wos, you probably have a 'protected wmv' file then [21:23] i'm going to install xchat so i can hear when you beep me, so just beep me or pm me when you can help me. i might be afk though [21:23] ubuntu can't play wmv or wma files with DRM yet [21:23] i've got all day, it's not that urgent [21:24] thanks zcat[1] [21:24] I'm installing Ubuntu on an old laptop [21:24] if it won't even enter GDM, should I risk the alternate installer?

I tried that and my network is still broken. I'm at a loss as to what else to try, any ideas? Thanks.

I tried looking for directions to manually download the needed files so I could transfer them w/ a usb stick and put them in the appropriate apt directories, but I wasn't able to find any. I asked previously about booting to a livecd and chrooting to my install environment but that seems a bit overboard. [21:29] where would I go to added more desktops?

Can some one advise? It is a Broadcom adapter... [21:35] GodfatherofEire: None gave me any sound, and the alsa one threw an error, I assume that is because pulseaudio is using it [21:35] DIFH: thank you [21:36] can anyone tell me why 8.04 installed 2 kernels and which i should be using [21:36] MrWindex: do you want bleeding egde intrepid or long term support hardy? [21:36] mib_qeoc9m, try uninstalling pulseaudio [21:36] I've just recently installed 8.10 64bit version. And I've been experiencing problems with ac power not showing up on the taskbar, and the battery not charging in my docking station. Everything worked fine in 8.04 64 bit. But since the installation of the new version, it's not charging from the docking station, I have to plug the power directly into the laptop. And when plugged directly into the laptop, the battery status, does [21:36] It has a tendency to be a little, unfriendly, with Ubuntu [21:36] nDevastator: you probably did an upgrade and one is older, just use the newer one (higher version number) [21:36] HideousNashimoto go to the folder where azures downloads is in type cd Azu and then press Tab [21:36] and then enter [21:36] mib_qeoc9m: you'll lose x windows un-installing pulse without extra steps fyi. [21:36] GodfatherofEire: I almost hope that does not work, I like pulseaudio :( [21:37] firefly2442 negative i did a clean install from a live cd... but okay I will use the newer kernel [21:37] mib_qeoc9m, hold up a sec [21:37] LTL: what are you talking about? [21:37] LTL what to you mean? [21:37] theatrus: ok so it has to do something with the partition not being active.... how do i make it become active when the other partition already is. the link to enable it is blacked out [21:37] LTL: I have removed it and reinstalled it many times on different machines [21:38] nDevastator: IIRC, it keeps an older kernel in GRUB just in case something happens and you need to fall back [21:38] guys what text editor do you use in command line modus? [21:38] syberjj: nano [21:38] syberjj: vim [21:38] syberjj: nano [21:38] vi [21:38] <[t0rc]> syberjj: nano or pico [21:38] ano! thanks! i didnt remember that name...

I have gone through the motions to get the adapter to be recognized by the machine, but it will not show any networks. In fact, it will not recognize that there is any hardware in the Network interface... Any suggestions?!? [21:40] <[t0rc]> is there an issue with the 32-bit version of 8.10 ? I keep getting a peculiar memory error, tried on two computers; with the Live CD and normal Install options; also, the MD5 checked out...?

[21:40] i'm stuck behind a stupid firewall that blocks port 22. is there any way i can get to my server so i can have it listen on another port (like a web based proxyed ssh or something). it can be super slow, i just need enough so i can get in, change the port, and restart sshd [21:40] mib_qeoc9m: then you'll be ok. [21:40] ok :) [21:40] I did a --purge that may be why [21:40] bazz: difficult [21:41] GodfatherofEire: so sound still is not working :( [21:41] bazz - are you behind a rounter or a firewall? [21:41] firewall [21:41] bazz: you could go through another server however :) [21:41] mib_qeoc9m, still no luck with ALSA? [21:41] mib_qeoc9m: yeah, that most likely cleaned things up properly. [21:41] bazz: You could try tor [21:41] what goes wrong here? http://pastebin.com/m49ea9fb (VNUML / socket related)) [21:41] bazz: I would suggest against telnet, try to do it with ssh [21:41] what do you mean, i can't get out to any server on port 22 [21:41] torify ssh [21:42] port 23 is blocked too, it's a really restricted. [21:42] i'll have a look at tor, thanks [21:42] <[t0rc]> is there an issue with the 32-bit version of 8.10 ?

[21:42] bazz - if you have a router you can tell him to forward port X (external) to port 22 and your local IP (internal). [21:42] well alsa one no longer errors, because pulseaudio is not using it. But none of them are putting out any sound that I can hear [21:42] bazz - ***tell it, lol bad english [21:42] i have no control over the firewall machine [21:42] Hi all! Which webcams are most linux friendly? And can I use them without problems on USB 1.1? (I know it's Ubuntu channel, but it's BTW.) [21:42] bazz: maybe you could find someone who'd open an ssh port on their server on a different port number so you could dial in and then out again to your server [21:42] [t0rc]: is there an option to check/verify the the CD is ok, did you do that? [21:42] mib_qeoc9m: i installed esound to get around pulse on intrepid, wasnt exactly painless. [21:42] howlingmadhowie: ohh yeah, that's my last resort :) [21:43] I need a recommendation for an easy to use backup, preferably GUI, using Ubuntu 8.10 [21:43] AH BLOODY HELL! Why was the speaker volume muted by default. I feel like an idiot for not checking that first [21:43] is there a way of running pcsx in ubuntu 8.10? I tried disabling pulse audio, but I can't change the config settings either way [21:43] mib_qeoc9m: thats common. [21:43] thanks for the suggestions guys [21:43] im trying to locate a specific package that is for partition table recovery but i cannot recall the name of it.... what are some partition table recovery utilities? [21:43] how may i do boot without splash to see where are the problem with my boot? [21:43] What's the name for the OpenGL package? apparently opengl OpenGL openGL Opengl don't work [21:43] bazz - then you cant, you need to tell the router to forward something to your mashine. firewall drops all external connections by default so it doesnt matter what port you use, you need a port to have "forward to port 22 on internal machiene 192.168.1.X" or smth like that [21:43] I sorta remember that, and remembering something about always checking that it is not muted before posting problems... [21:43] ok - this is my first linux install. on an acer machine with a broadcom (i know...) wireless adapter. I have gone through the motions to get the adapter to be recognized by the machine, but it will not show any networks. In fact, it will not recognize that there is any hardware in the Network interface... Any suggestions?!?

Now on to the wifi breaking after a hibernate [21:45] thanks for the help [21:45] mib_qeoc9m: not sure what you mean, i had to un-install pulseaudio to fix my sound, old hardware and a soundblaster card. [21:46] [t0rc]: what is the specific error? did you try running memtest? [21:46] !graphics | Neurologic [21:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics [21:46] how do I blacklist the ath_pci?

[21:47] that explains why it gave me a bunch of CLI links in response to a gui request mib_qeoc9m [21:47] karname, I guess so [21:47] Neurologic, what ubuntu version? [21:47] Rhorse: I mean is the router(?) set up to forward it and not just accept it to itself? [21:48] mib_qeoc9m: i wish i was as lucky pulse was fine under hardy. [21:48] <[t0rc]> firefly2442: nope, it doesn't even make it to the Live CD desktop or installation screens. Its right after the loading bars.

I would REALLY like to shut off the system beep [21:55] Katangawise: I think 8.10 is fine but it depends what you need it for, the previous version was LTS [21:55] theatrus: thanks! [21:55] NemesisD: :) disable your left monitor in nvidia-settings, restart X, and watch in awe [21:55] any idea why i can't install Webmin?? === Lyk4n8rwp0S is now known as kalakouentin [21:56] Giggsteve8: It can never hurt to defrag first no [21:56] NemesisD: i'm not at my PC, but i think you hit configure, and then make sure twinview is disabled. [21:56] Giggsteve8: forget what I just said. It seemed to me that you were installing with Wubi [21:56] carandraug: what makes you think he is using wubi? Did I miss something? [21:56] IndyGunFreak: well it appears that twinview is already disabled in there [21:56] Carandraug: I don't even know what that is. Hah. Thank you though, you guys are always so helpful [21:56] NemesisD: ok, is it showing the missing monitor "disabled"? [21:56] Mib: Thank you, sir! [21:57] mib_qeoc9m: no. It was a misinterpretation from me [21:57] Katangawise: hi. might depend on what you want to do with it. i am new to ubuntu and have never used 8.04, but 8.10 seems to work fine for me so far. [21:57] * ElijahDuBarryVT is away: I'm not here, please try again later! [21:57] IndyGunFreak: no, but it did seem to detect a problem with my metamodes that it has autocorrected, that could have done it [21:57] lemme restart x [21:57] NemesisD: ok.... [21:57] Giggsteve8: it might actually be good for you to use wubi if this is your first time, like carandraug said it simply installs linux into a file in windows. And allows all the normal dual booting goodness. [21:58] onetinsoldier: well, I just went ahead and chown'ed my user for /var/www/ [21:58] Mib: I'll look into that. Thanks again, guys. Much appreciated. [21:58] hmm that wasn't it [21:58] Giggsteve8: no problem [21:58] firefly2442: roger..i hope it's all good! :-) [21:58] I think I'll try LTS... I dont know why, but ubuntu versions X.04 have more stability then X10. .2-3 years ago I've tryes the 7.10 it didn't work, but 6.04 was good..Strange, no? :) [21:58] onetinsoldier: yeah, should be OK, just some simple local development anyway [21:59] i have a toshiba satellite a215 with hardy heron on it, and it does not go to sleep properly. when it comes back up, it gives me an error message and the sound ceases to work. how can i fix this? [21:59] firefly2442: roger. you should be fine [21:59] IndyGunFreak: yarr this sometimes happens as well, i restarted x and now I try to run nvidia-settings and i get no protocol specified [21:59] !canberra [21:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about canberra [21:59] Katangawise: not really, .04 versiosn are the LTS releases [21:59] !LTS [21:59] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [21:59] NemesisD: that is strange..... [21:59] In my case every version has fixed something from the one prior though [21:59] NemesisD: i guess for the time being(till the other monitor comes back), you could disable the nvidia driver [22:00] D: [22:00] May be, may be.. [22:00] NemesisD: does that not sound like a good idea?

[22:01] Ubuntu 8.10 I mean [22:01] IndyGunFreak: i'd prefer not. also i found out why i got the error. rans the command in a screen session that i had prior to restarting x, running in a new term brings up the config again [22:01] Bye, guys! Good night!:) [22:01] Also, my login sound is a little messed [22:01] IndyGunFreak: can it really be that simple? [22:02] faduda: try this one, http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ Ghost for Unix [22:02] faduda: i don't see why it couldn't be.. just right click home, copy, and paste it on the external [22:02] does anyone know how to get hardy to sleep properly? [22:02] faduda, use dd, its slow because it backs up entire partition even free space, but you can be damn sure that it will not miss anything [22:02] IndyGunFreak: the nvidia config says X Screens: 1 [22:02] how do you make firefox NOT fullscreen everytime u use it??

[22:04] IndyGunFreak: i can do that safely without rebooting right? just turn off the monitor and then plug it into the other head, restart x? [22:04] onetinsoldier: ok [22:04] onetinsoldier: how?? [22:04] erm without turning it off* [22:04] faduda, make sure that pathtobackupfile has enough space to hold your entire partition [22:04] NemesisD: i don't think so, i think you need to power down to do that [22:04] IndyGunFreak: ok ill do that [22:04] NemesisD, should work, I'm sure there is some config on the panel which is getting messed up [22:04] usser: isn't there a way to figure out partition name from command line? [22:04] faduda, fdisk -l [22:05] theatrus: thanks [22:05] yoyit2: go into your home directory.. then mv .mozilla .mozilla-fullscreen ...that's it [22:05] onetinsoldier: delete it?? === root__ is now known as root [22:05] I get cannot open /dev/sda and cannot open /dev/sdb [22:05] yoyit2: yes [22:05] usser: I get cannot open /dev/sda and cannot open /dev/sdb [22:05] My friend cant connect to internet.

[22:06] faduda, you're looking for the partition that u want to backup [22:07] faduda, look at the mount points to figure out whats what [22:07] faduda, / is usually sda1 [22:07] Guys, why can't I find plugdev group using menu, but it exists in /etc/groups? [22:07] faduda, mount -l should be of some help [22:07] yoyit2 home dir is /home :) [22:07] yoyit2: just do cd ..then press enter. that will take you home [22:08] lost [22:08] faduda, which partition you want to backup? entire disk?

[22:09] Koz3ris, have you tried this --> sudo dhclient [22:09] onetinsoldier: WHAT?? k, just do it in slash form IE. home/music/etc. [22:10] How might I update a package (Freepascal, currently 2.2.0 in the manager) to a newer version? installing from a .deb file does not work, the package stays the same.

[22:11] faduda, its all in /home [22:12] faduda, alright so do sudo fdisk -l [22:12] faduda, and sudo mount -l [22:12] usser: so whats the syntax to bak up home? [22:12] !gstreamer [22:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer [22:12] faduda, in mount -l look for /home mount point [22:12] hischild he got only mac [22:12] address [22:12] faduda: cant you just do sudo cp -R /home/ /whereever/you/want/to/backup/too ? [22:12] faduda, linny yea you could do that [22:13] linny, won't copy hidden dirs, might error out on unreadable dirs. [22:13] Koz3ris, hmm that's odd. Is his network on DHCP? [22:13] I don't expect much for 10$/month, but anyone know who's better at handling good traffic between DreamHost and Bluehost? [22:13] yoyit2: or... mv /home/user_name/.mozilla /home/user_name/.mozilla-fullscreen [22:13] faduda: there's a better command to backup than just cp. Use rsync instead [22:13] hello ive had progbelms installing the tarball version of gstreamer version 10.20 as in ist installed but when i try to install farsight2 it says that version is not installed only version 10.18 is ... and in synaptic 10.18 is the newest version.... now is there a repo for it or what???

It is impossible for me to update from the projects SVN, 2.2.0 is too old to compile the newer version ;) [22:15] Koz3ris, use network tools then, it's under system -> administration. create a new profile, add in your ip's and stuff. [22:15] faduda: depends on the size of your /home dir and the speed of your disks [22:15] carandraug rsync is as gibberish to me as dd. Is it too much to want a simple to use gui that works.

[22:22] does that work with gnome? [22:22] thepizzanator_: there are a few.. cairo dock is another one [22:22] thepizzanator_: those erros might be contained in the dmesg command, or in log files that are in /var/log. for instance /var/log/messages or /var/log/kern.log [22:22] where do i find /var/log/ ? [22:22] faduda: gadmin-rsync [22:22] faduda: im not sure what you're trying to do exactly, i only caught the last part of your conversation [22:23] thepizzanator_: var is a folder in the root folder /, log is a folder in the var folder [22:23] Koz3ris, i prefer to stick with the channel.

Do you know your router? It probably also your dns server. do this please --> gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf <-- and put this in it --> nameserver yourrouter <-- where you change yourrouter for your router.

ICW? no nothing about it [22:30] dannyboy20: it seems to change from version to version.. my webcam worked with the previous ubuntu version but not in this one... I think there's a list somewhere on the ubuntu wiki.. [22:31] onetinsoldier, you're right, dmesg is for bootup [22:31] Koz3ris, ICS, not ICW. What are you trying to achieve?

[22:33] lol [22:33] hischild !! something good, we pinged google.lt by its ip and IT PINGS!!! something with dns [22:34] how would i format an external usb hdd thats on /dev/sdc to ext3 file system? it keeps saying wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock when i try to mount it [22:34] * ElijahDuBarryVT is away: I'm not here, please try again later! [22:34] Majestic: i answer a question and then the guys starts shooting all kinds of other questions at me. what do you want for a dollar? [22:34] Koz3ris, add the ip of the other machine in the /etc/resolv.conf as a nameserver. You know how to do that? [22:34] in gnome/nautilus, if i have a subfolder expanded somewhere under the top level folder, how do i create a sub-subfolder? File/Create Folder creates a new folder at the top level folder. [22:34] or is there a better file manager to use? [22:35] Majestic: or was that just a joke about my nick? lol [22:35] onetinsoldier: and the "shoot up" soup [22:36] hischild we have 2 dns ( put dns in resolv.conf right? ) and we put they as nameserver IP, nameserver IP ( 2 lines, different ips) [22:36] Koz3ris, can you ping those DNS? [22:37] Hey guys. I have a write permission problem. I cant seem to write to on internal 1TB HDD. It is located at sdb1 and it is fat32. My /etc/fstab doesnt even show this partition of the harddrive. Any suggestions? [22:38] hischild , yes dns is pinging [22:38] !mountwindows [22:38] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:38] Promille: fat32 can only write max 1,92 gb on windblows. Its specd like that [22:39] Koz3ris, that's the same DNS as on your other pc? And can you ping anything by DNS? [22:39] Promille: and you should really think about using vfat on a 1 TB drive anyway... [22:39] Promille: It means drunk i hear :=) [22:40] stefg: what do you mean? [22:40] Promille: Dont troll [22:40] anyone know about data recovery ? [22:40] Majestic: what? i cant write ANYTHING to the drive [22:40] pfff [22:40] Schmorgis [22:41] Promille: fat32 is designed for filesystem in the 30 GB range.. WinXP doesn't let you create drives bigger than 32 GB with fat32 by default ( for a reason) ... use some modern filesystem on it, taht was designed for a job like that [22:41] hischild, we dont have other pc, im on other provider. btw he tried to come in google.lt by ip i gave and its not only pings but opens too [22:42] stefg: what filesystem should i try then? [22:42] Promille: something more along the lines of the channel youre in ? [22:43] hello, how to set a forced disk check at reboot? thanks [22:43] Promille: nt fs could be ok too but not adviced [22:43] Promille: depends... ext3 is universal, but actually does nothimg right. xfs is good for large files, reiserfs is good for small files.... if you need windows compatibility use ext3 and install an ext3 driver for windows [22:43] Koz3ris, it's only the dns that isn't resolving the names into IP's. Setting the correct ip's in /etc/resolv.conf will fix it. Anyway, i need some sleep now, so please ask the channel. [22:43] stefg, from my experience XFS is better for loads of small files. [22:44] stefg: i dont need windows compability on it. this is just a dump hdd for movies and such.. so you recommend ext3? [22:44] Promille: i reccommend ext3 fs without journalling to be hot [22:44] kk.. can i convert from fat32 -> ext3 without loosing data? [22:44] hello.. i downloaded some themes from gnome-look and installed them from within Appearance Preferences, but they don't show up with the list of themes.. how can i apply them? [22:44] Promille: ext3 is readable on windows as well given you install support for it [22:45] Promille: I don't think so [22:45] Promille: no [22:45] ok, thanks guys [22:45] Promille: fat32 isnt very good :) [22:45] Promille, You can just copy the files over to a new FS [22:45] Promille: since it's pretty standard, yeah... i personally would uzse xfs for that [22:45] Majestic, ext3 without journaling is known as ext2 [22:46] anyone any ideas on hoe to fix a 'cannot mount cdrom' error during installation ? [22:46] Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows how to change the sources.list during a regular server install, is there a file like after it's installed such as /etc/apt/sources.list that I can change during the install? [22:46] Vantrax: yes but its not the same code [22:47] ola [22:47] hey kinda urgent, my cursor keeps centering [22:48] is there a wine support channel?

[22:48] works fine for a few seconds then positions in the center [22:48] kinda difficult opening xchat [22:49] Promille: you can't convert fat32 into anything on linux .. you need to reformat teh drive [22:49] vahnx: bright light on a laser mouse will have weird effects [22:49] yeah works fine in windows [22:49] hello [22:49] i unplugged the mouse too [22:49] jjanzer_, You can probably change the sources.list after the base install, I think that the installer just chroots into the base system then uses apt-get normally [22:50] Jordan_U: yeah but the install won't complete b/c there are a few corrupted packages it tries to install [22:50] i went into mouse and keyboard settings, no luck [22:50] hello, how to set a forced disk check at reboot? [22:50] yesterday, i lost a lot of songs that i collected over the years. i was trying to copy all my music from reiserfs to ntfs, since i need them to be playable on xp too. i have a dual boot thing going on, with xp and ubuntu. xp was in hibernation, and i booted up ubuntu to cut the file over from reiserfs partition to the ntfs partition. linux didnt like me mounting the ntfs, and said if i really wanted to, i should use "-o force" o [22:50] ption, which i did. it mounted fine, and i can see/use the files whatever. but when i finished cutting the files over, and turned off ubuntu with a hard-poweroff, booted up xp, the files weren't there on the disk. but, strangely, the free disk space went down according to the right amount, which was 30 gb ish. now, i used heirn's boot cd and checked out the disk, most of the utilites could see the music. but they did not have a [22:50] disk to copy it out to. (i was recovering from the ntfs because reiserfs recovery is not widely supported) they could not identify my external hard drive. i've also tried ntfsundelete on linux, but it did not work because "the mft is in use".. so the challange remains, how can i get the data out? [22:50] sunapi386: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] vahnx: switch mouse, your current one seems all the way less-bian [22:51] Any ideas as to why Nautilus isnt allowing me to preview the sound file by hovering any more?

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a computer which has a SCSI disk drive. but it's freezeing just after the "loading kernel" part (on the very beginning of the setup process) [22:51] Scratch that, it works, but theres an unusually long delay [22:51] sunapi386; google testdisk ive used that for recovery before [22:51] As i said, its a crappy mouse [22:52] you don't make sense [22:52] !bootoptions | qdii [22:52] qdii: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [22:52] Not one yould wanna merry [22:52] linny; that was included on heirn's boot cd [22:52] i unplugged the mouse.. how can it be a crappy mouse if the bug continues when its unplugged [22:52] sunapi386 oh i see soory it was worth a try :) [22:53] thanks === zz_dzup is now known as zz_zz_dzup [22:53] vahnx: maybe its wagging the tail for wimen and not as it should, to your pipe ?

[23:24] Another thing, the flash plugin is severly buggy (even more so than usual) in Firefox and Opera.

[23:26] sure [23:26] ikonia: Intel cards are very well supported. ATI and NVIDIA are binary supported so you wont have any clue as to what you get there [23:27] johnzorn: ok, now open up the status file with a text editor [23:27] Majestic: few intel cards have the grunt though [23:27] <|unjustice|> ikonia: I have a NVIDIA Geforce card in my comp now...but it was REALLY difficult to configure with the provided drivers [23:27] |unjustice|: which model have you got ? [23:28] how do I create a user without a password? (like the default root user in ubuntu) [23:28] ikonia: They lack a notch there but then they dont require fans [23:28] selkies: the command sudo fdisk -l that I asked you before. Did you copied everything? [23:28] Hi. I would like to install my Ubuntu on my external hard drive (USB), but although I can see it from the Partition editor, this drive is not shown during the install process (Ubiquity). Any idea? [23:28] tsrk: You'll need to clarify - do you want them to be like root, and have no password and no way of logging in as them, or do you want them to have a blank password? [23:28] johnzorn: now, you will search on the following term, i think. tell me if this gives you a hit in the file... Status: install ok half-installed [23:29] LTL: now i can connect from the same network with telnet on port 25 [23:29] johnzorn: or just try... half-installed [23:29] but not from other networks [23:29] Majestic: it's his call, if he wants solid hardware acceleration I' afraid I'd put my weight behind nvidia for the grunt, but I do use intel myself and find very solid usability as you've suggsted [23:29] how do i make my ubuntu allow connections to the computer through vnc even though it is not logined in vnc? [23:29] like the one i am in now [23:29] tonyyarusso, sorry, i was really vague, standard user (not root privileges) and no way of logging in (not blank password) [23:29] johnzorn: you still with me? [23:29] ikonia: A downside to ati and nvidia is you dont know what the they put into that binary [23:29] can't change that [23:29] onetinsoldier, ya [23:29] ok [23:29] Guys... I need help .. bad... I just upgraded one of our production servers from to (8.04) from dapper (6.06) ... Everything was fine at first... until i went to login at ssh... - wouldn't recognize my username/password .... Went on site to login directly (had to hook up a monitor and keyboard) .... Still won't recognize my username. I turned off the machine . . hit escape during grub and clicked on recovery mode .... after starti [23:29] ng up it says "enter root password for maintenance - (or enter Control D to continue)" ... ... Not sure if the root account is necessarily enabled (i know its not for ssh login) - i know i become root using "sudo -s" ... I press Control D ... it takes me to login - and doesn't reocgnize my username... What do i do!? [23:30] carandraug: ya i did [23:30] Is there a way to get a *.deb package with all the needed dependencies ? [23:30] tsrk: Good answer - that's the easy one. 'passwd -l' ("locks" the password. -u reverses it. Details can be found in the passwd man page) [23:31] ikonia: Yes, if required and no other means there it can be good but basically not [23:31] selkies: does the output ends with a buch of dots? ................................................................. [23:31] <|unjustice|> ikonia: aren't nvidia cards still proprietary [23:31] <|unjustice|> ? [23:31] tonyyarusso, ok, but is there a way to set that when creating the user? adduser has --disabled-password and --disabled-login but i'm not sure which to use, or maybe it's neither of those. [23:31] johnzorn: you find one in there yet? if so, show me what the 'Status:' line looks like... [23:31] carandraug: that was to show that it ends there [23:31] |unjustice|: yes they are [23:32] <|unjustice|> ikonia: are there freely licensed alternatives? [23:32] carandraug: pen drives works well.. it auto mounts but not the hard disk [23:32] onetinsoldier, no I didnt find any, I found a half-configured one [23:32] how can I restart X? [23:32] ikonia: You see, they will try to add viruses to the dists by any means possible. Flash, binary addons and antiviruses. Just as youll have viruses in your phones [23:32] |unjustice|: nope, only intel as Majestic suggested by they are no-where near as powerful [23:32] <|unjustice|> hmph [23:32] Majestic: don't be silly, they don't add virus's [23:32] onetinsoldier, for the linux -image: Status: install ok half-configured [23:33] hey does anyone know a good firewall to knock out malware on a VMware ? [23:33] johnzorn: ok, that is what you need to search on then.. ok? for every package that's half-configured, you need to change it to this --> Status: purge ok not-installed [23:33] ikonia: then you have learned nothing yet and i shall leave. [23:33] Majestic: ok [23:33] o.O;; [23:33] tsrk: I believe --disabled-password is analogous to what I just said. Note as it says in the adduser man page, with that option "Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible (for example using SSH RSA keys) but not using password authentication.", whereas --disabled-login will disallow login entirely (I'm guessing but setting the shell to a null value) [23:33] I guess the responsibility of knowledge is being an a**hole ^^ [23:33] Is there a way to get a *.deb package with all the needed dependencies ? [23:33] SkywaIker: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts x windows. [23:34] SkywaIker: pardon that, sorry [23:34] TestingTheTest: apt-get does that automatically - what exactly are you looking for? [23:34] tonyyarusso, ok, thanks, that's perfect [23:35] onetinsoldier, what about lines like: install ok unpacked [23:35] Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu, can't get this to work: [23:35] rob@rob-laptop:~$ sudo ./install-wine-deps [23:35] sudo: ./install-wine-deps: command not found [23:35] Why not :S? [23:35] johnzorn: what is the name of the packaged showing that status? [23:35] RobLikesBrunch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === DASPRiD is now known as DASPRiD|off [23:35] hi all. attempting to get apple bluetooth keyboard working with hardy [23:35] Tonyyarusso, i need GCC to compile certain things... like a certain ndiswrapper package. [23:35] johnzorn: what is the name of the package showing that status? [23:35] onetinsoldier, can I change the unpacked to not-installed... its the linux-restricted-modules [23:35] onetinsoldier: Heya :) [23:35] i was able to pair the keyboard but it won't stay connected [23:36] TestingTheTest: and? [23:36] johnzorn: ok, yep.. do those one too then [23:36] can someone (PM) and help me out wid connecting the external HDD on Ubuntu8.10.. i can't mount it [23:36] onetinsoldier, linux-generic too [23:36] RobLikesBrunch: Probably because you're not in the right folder, why are you compiling wine instead of just installing it from the repositories? [23:36] if i hit the space bar it will connect, but no keys will respond. within 3 - 5 seconds keyboard disconnects [23:36] ASULutzy: 1.1.10 won't install 07, trying 1.1.11 [23:36] johnzorn: yep.. all of them. when you are done, do... apt-get -f install [23:36] Firefishe: howdy! how ya doing? [23:37] Tonyyarusso, the machine i'm trying to get GCC on doesn't have a connection... so i wanted to know if i could get all the depenencies of GCC into one convinient Debian package(*.deb) [23:37] RobLikesBrunch: Ah, office 07? Is that reported to be working on 1.1.11? [23:37] RobLikesBrunch: Office 2007 is about the only reason I still have a Windows VM on my work laptop [23:37] ASULutzy: Apparently it's been working for a wihle, but not for me [23:37] TestingTheTest: Ah, okay. Use aptoncd and get the build-essential package. [23:37] hey guys i have a Q how come when i change backgrounds and reboot i still see the original orange colored background? [23:37] ASULutzy: I'm not big on emulation, especially on a lappy with a 1.6ghz cpu :( === peleg_ is now known as peleg [23:37] ASULutzy: So trying hard @ wine [23:38] TestingTheTest: It won't roll it into one package, but will download the dependencies for you. [23:38] Into a folder ( tonyyarusso ) [23:38] *? [23:38] TestingTheTest: I'm not sure exactly what it does, but something like that. [23:38] Ok. [23:39] i normally configure my linux based systems with LVM partitions so that I can resize things if needed. I'm installing ubuntu 8.10 desktop and its installer doesn't offer LVM. Do most people not use LVM? [23:39] RobLikesBrunch: Well if you did ./someExecutableFile and it said command not found, then ./someExecutableFile doesn't exist, which either means you mistyped it, or you're not in the correct folder [23:39] tauren: LVM options are available on the !alternate (text-only) installer disk. [23:39] tauren: average desktop user, not really [23:39] ASULutzy, or he didn't set the executable bit. [23:39] * Solidus0079 pats himself on the back for getting x server going with drivers XD [23:39] tonyyarusso: ok, good to know. [23:39] hischild, RobLikesBrunch: You're right, hadn't even considered that, try chmod +x ./whateverYouWereTryingToDo [23:40] ASULutzy: Yeah, I did that already though [23:40] ikonia: so even if the average user doesn't use it, is it still a good idea to do so? [23:40] selkies: I've been trying to understand what can be the problem. Seems that most people solved it by upgrading the ntfs-3g package but those posts are old and I find it strange for not working. Can you pastebin "ls /media/"? [23:40] depends what you want [23:40] * Solidus0079 might be ready to say goodbye to M$ completely for home use soon [23:40] tauren: only a good idea if you know how to use it and it benfits/meets your needs [23:40] Solidus0079: give the /me commands a rest please [23:40] onetinsoldier, thats weird, it didnt do anything, like it doesnt see the status [23:41] ikonia: i'm making a dual boot system for ubuntu and vista [23:41] but will run virtualbox in ubuntu as well [23:41] tauren: lvm has no relevance to that [23:41] http://www.getdeb.net [23:41] johnzorn: did you save the file? [23:41] K.. I'm in the grub boot option editor .. on the kernel line ... trying to get to "single user mode without root password for maintenance" ... it says "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-server root=UUID=45cddac7-427c-4f23-91ec-67a69f703229 ro single " ... Is this 'mess' because during the upgrade... the upgrade aborted saying "/etc/fstab.pre-uuid already exists!" ? [23:41] a rest? are they frowned upon here i assume [23:41] ? [23:41] onetinsoldier, heh yes [23:41] ikonia: yeah, i know... i just like the flexibility it gives me [23:41] carandraug: sure give me a sec [23:41] ASULutzy: chmod: cannot access `./home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh': No such file or directory [23:41] so i can create a shared partition that both systems could use. [23:41] ASULutzy: I don't get why that doesn't work [23:41] and i could resize the ntfs and ext3 if i need to down the road [23:42] ASULutzy: there's a file on my desktop called "install-wine-deps.sh" [23:42] tauren: lvm has nothing to do with that [23:42] RobLikesBrunch, does the file exist? note it's case sensitive. [23:42] my friend put dns to resolv.conf, btu after pc restart its gone and again Ęgenerated by netw manag ( btw we uninstaled it ) , we even tried to set to read only, and then no internet at all [23:42] RobLikesBrunch: Because you don't want to do ./home [23:42] johnzorn: strange... look at the file again. make sure your changes are still in there [23:42] tauren: infact it has less to do with it, as windows won't be able to use an lvm shared partition === ubuntu is now known as Kozeris [23:42] hischild: Yup, that exact one [23:42] RobLikesBrunch: You want to do /home/$USER/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh [23:42] ASULutzy: Oh, ok [23:42] Has anyone here gotten kde 3.5.x running alongside 4.1.x succesfully? If so, how did you do it? I'm currently looking at kdesvn-build as the method, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has done it differently, or with other options. [23:42] RobLikesBrunch: drop the dot before /home/ [23:42] fifi says bye to all and thank you very much! [23:42] ikonia: ahhh... that's true... [23:42] johnzorn: are you using apt-get or aptitude? [23:42] Ok, now it worked [23:42] <--ubuntu 8.10 [23:42] ubuntu, use the network tools in system -> administration to set ip and dns. [23:42] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90349/ [23:42] i've always used it for fully linux systems. didn't consider that [23:43] RobLikesBrunch: Not, ./home/$USER/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh ./ means the present working directory [23:43] hischild thank you [23:43] LTL: I looked at that Installing Ubuntu after Windows page and... the instructions don't seem to be the same. [23:43] Kozeris, uhh? [23:43] ASULUtzy: now I do ./home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh? [23:43] ASULutzy: I made it executable === Blip is now known as Da [23:43] ikonia: so I'm probably fine just skipping lvm for this system then. [23:43] No . [23:43] ASULutzy: Should I put sudo before? [23:43] apt-get [23:43] onetinsoldier, apt-get [23:43] ? [23:43] hischild, it wa sme asking for that question , we got internet working [23:43] RobLikesBrunch, wait, did you do it WITH that period in front of it? [23:43] LTL: or they don't work right. [23:43] Kozeris, good to hear! [23:43] RobLikesBrunch: sudo /home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh [23:43] so we only got that problem now [23:43] yeah nice :))“ [23:43] hischild: without period for the chmod +x, it worked [23:43] how do i make my ubuntu allow connections to the computer through vnc even though it is not logined? [23:43] ikonia: thanks for the input [23:44] hi there, is it somehow possible to use my ssh keys to connect to server from a host on which i'm also connected with ssh without copying my private keys to this middle host? (recursive ssh agent) [23:44] RobLikesBrunch, then you should be able to run it now. === Da is now known as GotLinux [23:44] sudo: ./home/rob/Desktop/install-wine-deps.sh: command not found [23:44] ??? [23:44] johnzorn: ok. try... apt-get install linux-generic linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic linux-restricted-modules-common [23:44] RobLikesBrunch sudo /home/rob/Desktop/./install-wine-deps.sh [23:44] RobLikesBrunch, DO NOT put a dot in front of it. [23:44] hmmm, anyone have a cpu temp reading applet for gnome panels they'd recommend? [23:44] Hi. I would like to install my Ubuntu on my external hard drive (USB), but although I can see it from the Partition editor, this drive is not shown during the install process (Ubiquity). Any idea? [23:45] (that's in the app repositories) [23:45] LTL: I'm trying to install 8.10 [23:45] RobLikesBrunch: Again ./ means current directory, you don't want that, drop the dot. [23:45] needhelpplz: use windows to shrink the ntfs partition, leave the remaining un-touched. reboot see if it works, then boot off a cd. defrag and/or chkdsk windows before you do anything. [23:45] Ok...right [23:45] Thanks, it worked :d [23:45] LTL: I don't have the administrative rights to do so. [23:45] (I'm new the linux and it's jargon) [23:45] RobLikesBrunch: Also, for specific wine support, /join #winehq [23:45] Any third party repositories I should concidur? I've added canonical and opera's sources [23:46] ASULutzy: Yeah,I've know. I spent my time there trying to install 07 [23:46] ASULutzy: Not fun. :P [23:46] johnzorn: it's kinda my bad. i probably should have had you put 'install' rather than 'purge on the 'Status:' line [23:46] :( [23:46] needhelpplz: you could boot a gparted cd but vista may not like that. talk to your sysadmin. [23:46] RobLikesBrunch, the period in front makes it use a relative path, whereas if you start with a dash it uses the full path. [23:46] johnzorn: anyway, what did the apt-get command do? anything? [23:46] hischild: Yeah, ASULutzy explained that. Thanks, though! [23:46] selkies: try "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/disk/" [23:47] RobLikesBrunch, np === DASPRiD|off is now known as DASPRiD [23:47] Guys... anyone .. I really need some help.. I've got a server down after an upgrade to hard heron from dapper drake. ... I'm stuck and i don't know what to do!!!! ... I've already reboot to recovery and reset the password for the administrative user... while i was there.. i verified there was an entry in the /etc/passwd file... I restarted the machine and am at the login.. It still doesn't recognize the username!"! !!! ... help!! [23:48] Lol. [23:48] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90352/ [23:48] iratik, how did you reset the user for the administrative user? which name does that user carry? [23:48] Greetings everyone. I've got an odd situation with my laptop, I've noticed that 100% volume in Ubuntu is significantly lower than 100% in XP... any ideas? [23:49] Hmm :S [23:49] hischild: "ctatechs" ... I reset it by going into recovery mode .. editing the kernel line so i could get to root prompt ... i then did "passwd ctatechs" ... it let me reset it ... everything seemed fine! [23:49] xTheGoat121x: i've noticed that to... i think its probably due to poor driver support of some devices under Linux [23:49] xTheGoat121x run sudo alsamixer and make sure all meters are at max. [23:49] Hey all, how can I add an installer script to an alternate cd, and force it to use a CLI option rather than GuI option for the system? Please [23:49] iratik, and what's wrong now? [23:49] mindrape, already tried that. [23:49] iratik, look in your logfiles to see why there are authentication errors. [23:50] Seveas: reboot back to recovery and look in syslog? [23:50] Hello, does anyone have any experience with the acerhk module? I'm running Intrepid on an Acer Aspire 1680 and keep getting an error message when I try to make install The error is here : http://pastebin.com/m71bad5d7 [23:50] johnzorn: hello... what's happening? [23:50] good idea... sorry.. i'm panicking [23:50] IndyGunFreak, well, here's hoping they improve that support in Intrepid. [23:50] iratik, /var/log/* [23:50] how can I count the files that are in a directory and all it's subdirectory? [23:50] I wish i could issue a shutdown command at this login... this would be the 5th time i've shut the machine off [23:50] auth.log will probably be useful, or /var/log/messages anf /var/log/syslog [23:50] selkies: I don't know what can be wrong then. The partition exists and it is identified with sudo fdisk -l as /dev/sdc1 The mount point also exists (/media/disk) but for some reason it's not mounting, the ntfs-3g does not identifies [23:50] onetinsoldier, sorry, basically it gave me the error: dpkg: parse error [23:50] xTheGoat121x: i'm using intrepid.. :(... like i said, unfortunately drivers for Linux are made by volunteers. [23:51] Seveas: Is there any way I can do a "Trial" authentication from the basic /bin/bash ? [23:51] ndee: ls -lR dir/ | wc -l [23:51] so i can stop restarting the machine to full running mode and finding out that i can't get in !

[23:52] carandraug: thats wat my frens told me too... so u think it won't work at all ever [23:52] selkies: try ask around for a bit longer with that knowledge and post something in the forums with the output of the commands "sudo fdisk -l" and "ls /media/" and "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/disk/" [23:52] I need some help doing reverse dun over bluetooth for a treo 650 [23:52] johnzorn: ok, you probably made a typo.. that's why it acted like nothing had happened with the status file the first time. you need to restore the 'status' file from the back you made, then start again. that is also probably my bad. let me start over.. ok? [23:52] thanks [23:52] IndyGunFreak, something tells me that, somewhere, I could tweak something in Pulse or ALSA and get more volume... but maybe it's wishful thinking. [23:52] iratik, as root: su - loginname_here [23:52] iratik, then repeat that command as the user [23:52] onetinsoldier, ok [23:52] johnzorn: either you made a typo or it's my bad... restore the file and we'll start over.

[23:55] xTheGoat121x: i have no probs at all on my PC.. just the laptops [23:55] after i rebooted gnome wont start i just logged into shell directly [23:55] just a few more questions.. what is the "Account information resolver (winbind)" service? I don't remember seeing that before [23:55] theres no win [23:56] Anyone here had any experience with using Ubuntu on an Acer laptop or messing around with the wireless not working very well due to a "kill switch"? [23:56] nkei0: what acer model? [23:56] essial, it's part of the samba suite for cooperation with a windows network [23:56] hischild, good idea. [23:56] IndyGunFreak: Aspire 1680, with ipw220 wireless [23:56] xTheGoat121x: yeah, that works to, but doesn't help much w/ like youtube, etc. [23:56] nkei0: ah, never used that one, sorry [23:57] IndyGunFreak, you know, it's funny... me too, it's the same way. [23:57] nkei0 - is it enabled in BIOS? is it enabled via the switch on the laptop? does it show up in dmesg and lspci or lsusb? When you sudo iwconfig do you see any wireless interfaces? [23:57] Anyone else seeing nonstop crashes of Firefox on Ubuntu? [23:57] nkei0, not due to a kill switch. Acer Aspire 5520, Atheros Chipset, using the latest Madwifi HAL. [23:57] mikejet - works fine for me.. any specific pages you want me to try? [23:57] A Crash is the grayscale screen. [23:57] I had an Acer, Aspire and reinstalled Hardy on it, and now the wireless works fine. Before that Hrday and wireless didn't work nicely [23:57] great, disabling it :p [23:57] johnzorn: every package that's broken... you need to make it so that the area in the file that has that package has 'only 4 lines'.... like this example --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/90356/ [23:57] mindrape: are you on 64? [23:57] essial, don't disable stuff you don't understand. [23:57] help [23:57] mikejet, try with a fresh firefox profile/disabling all extensions/plugins. [23:58] mikejet - 32bit here. [23:58] thats why i'm asking here [23:58] mindrape: The bios doesn't have any access to the killswitch, it's a key on the front of the laptop. When I do iwconfig it does show that it has wireless it's just that the radio is off. [23:58] How can you use firefox without flash and extensions? [23:58] I don't use samba and have no windows systems on my network [23:58] nkei0 - in addition to the "kill switch" can you use an Fn F6 function, as an example to turn the radio on? [23:58] mindrape: I don't know if it shows up in any of those message things you mentioned, I have looked at the system monitor but it doesn't post anything. [23:58] K... Guys ... I'm going to need some serious help here.... I'm looking at the auth.log ... and roughly what i see is PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_ldap.so : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] , another error in the auth.log is "PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_ldap.so" .. What is pam (i vaguely remember doing something with pam when trying to setup LDAP) ? and what might be going on ? [23:58] Thanks for the hlp [23:59] Holp, sorry [23:59] mindrape: Nope, fn+f6 has something to do with the screen [23:59] Help, sorry [23:59] iratik: don't worry about the ldap error unless you have set up ldap, or tried to [23:59] iratik, did you use ldap on your server? [23:59] johnzorn: let me know if you understand that, the area that describes the package can have only thos four lines that my pastebin example has [23:59] Good day. Shaw bash [23:59] Yeah .. at one point i did [23:59] nkei0 - that was an example... F5? F7? etc? any of them relate to the wireless? [23:59] But when i upgraded to hardy i saw that ldap was there... didn't need it anymore... so i uninstalled ldap-auth-client [23:59] iratik, did you use it the last time on your server, or did you disable it lately, before you upgraded? [23:59] iratik, this may have caused your auth errors [23:59] Try newwestnotes.com and reload about 10 times. Firefox x86_64 will give you a grayscreen CRASH. [23:59] can someone please tell me the difference between ubuntu and eeebuntu? I don't know which to install on my eeepc ... [23:59] the penny drops
