[00:00] cehr: the earlier ubuntu version had some problems upgrading.. these days I think upgrading or reinstalling will be about the same [00:00] Ademan: iirc yea [00:00] MiniF: oh i meant like web tutorials and stuff [00:01] i dunno [00:01] KenBW22: then I think the issue is with your theme ENGINE rather than the theme itself. (theme engines are chunks of code, themes are basically parameters for that code like color and such) [00:02] i can only find review sites and stuff [00:02] cehr: since the computer is quite old, you might not want to install intrepid. some folks are saying that intrepid runs quite slow if the machine is an old one. just an fyi [00:02] Ademan: i think ill try setting a different theme, copying over /usr/share/themes/Human, restartiig then seeing if it works [00:02] how do I right files to an external hdd formatted in hfs+ formatt?

[00:03] slart: ah, okay, thanks [00:03] KenBW22: to rectify that install the older version of gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks (don't blame me if things go awry though... although the worst that could happen is stuff looks ugly and you have to re-upgrade that package) [00:03] MenZa: there are some tools to work with pdfs.. command line stuff. hang on.. I'll see if I can remember what they are called [00:03] !medibuntu | MiniF [00:03] MiniF: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:03] MiniF: Go to skype.com, click download and click the ubuntu logo [00:03] !skype | MiniF [00:03] MiniF: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [00:04] Whats the emergency halt command, like for a thermal sensor to auto shutdown the computer?

I was considering xubuntu 8.10, but I assume it has similar problems [00:05] how do I right files to an external hdd formatted in hfs+ formatt? [00:05] GodfatherofEire: I don't know if there is any special command, if you want to shut down your computer fast use sudo init 0 [00:05] GodfatherofEire: sudo halt?

I'll run sudo apt-get update [00:09] cehr: if you really want speed, you might try another distro made for slower computers (Arch, Slitaz) [00:09] windows printer via samba option is there [00:09] gsingh: ok.. then use that.. see if it works [00:09] hi I was wondering if someone could help. I tried combing through the topics with no success and I've been trying to get the wifi to work and 5 hours later I'm no closer than when I started :( even after following every step in the faq [00:09] do i need to install samba on vista? [00:09] #vista [00:09] does anyone know how to mount an external hdd with the hts+ filesystem with FUSE? [00:10] cehr: yw, good luck [00:10] ilmob: what card/version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:10] gsingh: samba is the linux version of windows networking.. so in vista you already have the networking stuff [00:10] xubuntu [00:10] ilmob: what is your model, I'll see if I have more luck googling... [00:10] but that room couldn;t help [00:10] right [00:10] Slart, I ran sudo apt-get update, opened Add/Remove Applications and it's still showing no apps [00:10] hi all. I am trying to install Skype but I run into the following errors! http://pastebin.com/m6aa5bfd3 [00:10] so i click on browse printer [00:10] mib_z8lrq4: the kernel supports hfs+ natively [00:10] Slart: At least, that's what MS claims. ;) [00:10] my model of what leon? [00:10] it finds the vista computer [00:10] ilmob: what card do you have, and what version number of Ubuntu? [00:10] * MatBoy hugs eternaljoy again :P [00:10] mgolisch: for some reason not for me [00:10] ilmob: run lspci or lshw to find the card information [00:10] tiyowan: of course =) [00:10] but it can't find the printer attached to it [00:10] I fowllowed the first two steps in http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/enable-medibuntu-in-ubuntu-810/ [00:10] mib_z8lrq4: but write support is not enabled on journaled volumes unless you force it [00:11] * MatBoy waits until ekinplektrum becomes purple :) [00:11] any help? [00:11] andresmh: do you get any errors when you updated the package list? any output at all? [00:11] adam7: hmm, ok, I guess I'll have to do more research then, heh. thanks [00:11] MiniF: Why don't you try installing it from the skype website? Maybe that medibuntu stuff is a bit unstable.... [00:11] mib_z8lrq4: basicaly dont try to write to it, it will mostlikely break the filesystem [00:11] cehr: I think Intrepid would probably run OK on that computer, though. [00:11] Leon. k. let me try [00:11] ilmob: Wifi Card [00:11] cehr: 1ghz isn't too slow [00:11] ilmob: Didn't you say that that was what wasn't working? [00:12] ok it's a Dlink DWL 650 [00:12] gsingh: can't really help you with that.. no windows servers on my little network [00:12] Why are there so many difficutlies with the preinstalled audiodrivers? [00:12] I don't know what version of xubuntu i'm running an old friend did it for me [00:12] Leon: it just downloaded a .deb. what now? [00:12] ilmob: run cat /etc/issue in a terminal [00:12] ilmob: lsb_release -a in a terminal [00:12] Do you have broken packages when install anything else|MiniF [00:12] mib_z8lrq4: works flawless here, it even automounts my osx installations partitions on y usb drive when it plug it in [00:12] MiniF: double click the deb, click install and see what happens [00:12] snap. i am cleaning out my system and I am deleting files, and now nothing can open. If i try it says: "No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0.0 What did i delete that I shouldn't have? [00:12] MiniF: double click that file [00:13] mib_z8lrq4: but id not try to write to it, it works sometimes but it may destroy the filesystem [00:13] Why is it possible to macs to start up that fast? And why is my ubuntu not that fast ? xD [00:13] Slart, i did not get any errors. I did get lots of output, most of it looks ok: http://pastebin.com/d2e0f1068 [00:13] garnol: ? [00:13] garnol: doesn't macs use some special kind of bios? === weilawei is now known as weilawei|away [00:13] mgolisch: right, it works for you but you can't write files to it? [00:13] it says wrong architecture 'i386' [00:13] i cant seem to install int [00:13] it* [00:13] oh oh8.04 is the version [00:13] im no mac guru, but recently my brother baught one and it is really amazing how fast it can boot [00:13] MiniF: what is "it"? [00:13] adam7: I guess I could always try, I don't know. I've heard that gnome is a bit bulky, would xubuntu be better? [00:14] mib_z8lrq4: as i said writing is only supported for non journaling hfs+ volumes [00:14] ekinplektrum: great !! xinerama works damn good from the start again with 8.04 [00:14] ilmob: is that a pcmcia card? [00:14] thanks ! [00:14] mgolisch: if you wanted to write a lot of files, you would create a new partition on the drive?? [00:14] MiniF: then you have the wrong file, get the 54bit one [00:14] cat/etc/issue does not work [00:14] adam7: skype [00:14] 54bit [00:14] andresmh: hmm.. "Fetched 3B in 6s (0B/s)".. that doesn't seem right [00:14] Slart: is the bios responsible for the boot time? [00:14] cehr: from my experience, Xubuntu is not the fastest distro ever created... I'd just go with a fullblown Gnome. If that's slow, you can always install xubuntu-desktop to get Xubuntu [00:14] how do I get the 54bit one? [00:14] Leon: no that's the version of linux the network adapter is a PCMCIA card DLINK DWL 650 [00:14] garnol: it would be a factor afaik [00:14] i don [00:14] mib_z8lrq4: but all default partitions created by osx are journaled so id go with somekind of share partition to exchange files between osx and linux [00:14] i dont see a link to the 54bit file. [00:14] MiniF: the 64bit one [00:15] Slart: afaik? [00:15] mib_z8lrq4: like some fat32 as both have decent support for that filesystem [00:15] garnol: as far as I know [00:15] where is the link to that? i cant find it on the skype website [00:15] MiniF: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [00:15] andresmh: have you tried using another mirror? [00:15] how do i find root password? [00:15] MiniF: Google gives a lot of results, you can try some of them: http://www.google.com/search?q=skype+64+bit+ubuntu [00:15] Slart, I will try another mirror [00:15] mgolisch: oh but let's say you if you wanted to write from linux [00:15] !root | wayne_ [00:15] wayne_: 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 [00:15] wayne_: yo ucan't [00:16] ilmob: Did you take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-G650+ [00:16] ilmob: You probably did already... [00:16] Slart: So how could i speed up my system boot? [00:16] adam7: okay, that makes sense. besides, I like gnome and I'd be a bit apprehensive on giving it up, heh [00:16] MiniF: it is in the medibuntu repository [00:17] I did and I have no idea [00:17] !medibuntu | MiniF [00:17] MiniF: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:17] cehr: I ran gnome on a laptop with a p3 @ 1ghz and it wasn't too bad, but that was a while ago [00:17] garnol: apart from the regular stuff (not having tons of apps that autostart etc) there are some tricks.. it won't save you a lot of time but you can shave off a couple of seconds.. google for "ubuntu tweaks" or similar [00:17] Slart: ok i ll have a look [00:18] ilmob: What do you mean you had no idea. It didn't work? [00:18] Leon I am a complete noob I've never used linux before in my life so all of those forums and FAQs are like reading greek. it's very complicated for the windows user coming in fresh without any knowledge [00:18] garnol: I think somebody was working on a system to load things as you type in your username/password (in the background) [00:18] so I try to go through it and do what they say but it didn't work [00:18] what the hell. everything i do just gets errors in apt-get [00:18] ilmob, im in the same boat as you lol [00:18] ilmob: OK I'll s if I can guide you through that [00:18] andresmh: any luck? [00:18] that link didnt work [00:19] Leon: thanks much appriciated [00:19] mgolisch: of you help me with my problem i will paypal you. I have a drive formatted in hfs+, can I add a new partition in fat32 and use that as an external drive that i can write/read/own from my linux os? [00:19] MiniF: it is in the medibuntu repository [00:19] !medibuntu | MiniF [00:19] MiniF: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:19] btw mgolisch happy holidays [00:19] Slart, I went to Software Sources and selected "Download from: Main Server" now it's Downloading package information...

[00:19] thats why i kicked windows off [00:19] i set up vncviewer/server and it works, but not from outside the building, which port should i forward and to where ? thanks [00:19] garnol: ahh I see, yeah, not for production systems yet [00:20] andresmh: sounds like it might be working then.. it should be downloading something like half a mb of data or something like that [00:20] MiniF: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [00:20] adam7: well, I already run gutsy on it, but I've heard in other places too that intrepid can be a but iffy, so I wasn't sure how to go [00:20] i just did "sudo apt-get install vim-gtk" in terminal, how do i uninstall it [00:20] linear`: sudo apt-get remove vim-gtk [00:20] linear`: sudo apt-get remove vim-gtk [00:20] everything you guys link me to i read but i just keep getting apt get errors...

Often though, the README or something tells you the libs you need [01:22] how can i install my nvidia video driver? === Guest16469 is now known as shiMMer [01:22] how can i install my nvidia video driver? [01:22] Guest16469, envyng [01:22] shiMMer, envyng [01:22] envyng? [01:23] what is it?/ [01:23] YankDownUnder, as a general rule, if it says you need glib (for example) apt-cache search glib | grep -dev will narrow down the package you need to install [01:23] hello [01:23] YankDownUnder: is it a source where ubuntu has a package (or an older version thereof)? [01:23] what area does this server cover? [01:23] what is it? [01:23] what is the best .gif image creator application [01:23] YankDownUnder, erm, | grep dev that is [01:23] cbentley: the serevr pretty much everything. this channel is about ubuntu [01:23] GodfatherofEire1: the /dev/shm is normal, for ubuntu I believe, the unhide thing showed up once for me, I just needed to update rkhunter and the SSH things you just need to configure /etc/sshd_config not to allow root login. The other two I have no idea you should investigate those === WebGuest is now known as hashbrowns [01:24] how can i install my nvidia video driver? [01:24] what is the best .gif image creator application available for download on ubuntu [01:24] clouder`grr, alright, but the recovery mode will still allow root access yes? [01:24] Kurowsaki: i always use GIMP [01:24] i do not how to use gimp [01:25] GodfatherofEire1: what recovery mode? [01:25] with that can you make gif images [01:25] Kurowsaki, Its not to hard to get the hang of it [01:25] Kurowsaki: heh, that's something you can change easily :-) [01:25] kurowsaki::take ur time [01:25] ok thx everybody for being so kind [01:25] YankDownUnder: hello... figure it out yet? [01:25] im going to give it a try [01:25] clouder`grr, in the bootloader, there's the normal Ubuntu 8.10 2.6.9 kernel, and theres another that boots into a root terminal, not an emulator, but like a root version of ctrl alt f1. [01:25] i need install mt nvidia driver [01:26] i need install my nvidia driver [01:26] GodfatherofEire1: yes, that should work SSH is only for remote access to the computer not physical access [01:26] Kurowsaki: in my opinion time is better spent learning gimp than learning some obscure special tool. with gimp you can also edit your photos :-) [01:26] clouder`grr, thanks [01:26] np [01:26] onetinsoldier, er...wondering - stuck installing all the gtk-engines right now... [01:26] YankDownUnder: explain stuck [01:27] Hello. I have selected to 'activate' an nvidia driver. I have restarted but nothing has happened and no messages have appeared. What am I supposed to do? [01:27] tuntun::installwith synaptic package manager [01:28] clouder`grr, should the /etc/sshd_confog file be, er, empty? [01:28] *config [01:28] tuntun_: if you start nvidia-settings does it run? [01:28] ilmob, did it seem like your laptop was connected to your router earlier when you took the encryption off that but you couldn't access any web address even via the IP? [01:28] onetinsoldier, Just having to pick/tick all the gtk-engines -> just a tad bit labourious [01:29] tuntun:: it must be appear some error [01:29] clouder`grr, never mind [01:29] YankDownUnder: roger... i was wondering if you figured this out yet --> Apparently I need "GLib (GModule [01:29] Found the file, it was /etc/ssh/sshd_config [01:29] onetinsoldier, Perserverence. [01:29] zsquareplusc, no [01:29] sinbox: yup [01:29] oh no [01:30] onetinsoldier, I rather reckoned I'd have missed out on the gtk-engines bit - ain't had enough coffee today yet. [01:30] ok here's the deal, I see the little signal bars and I see my wireless network it just doesn;t actually work and go to pages [01:31] imp will somenone help me [01:31] tuntun_: so you used to system->admin>hardware drivers application to select the nvidia driver? you have one with 177 in the name? did you log out and login after doing that? [01:31] hello [01:31] hello [01:31] YankDownUnder: roger... ok. what i was wondering is, if you had figured this out yet ? --> Apparently I need GLib GModule [01:31] how do you use gimp [01:31] ilmob, have you rebooted the laptop since then? [01:31] Kurowsaki, it's a very complex image editor. Perhaps you want something more like Microsoft Paint? [01:31] onetinsoldier, Bear in mind this is a tad bit different than me other distros -> learning curve ya know. [01:32] zsquareplusc:: i have that problem too [01:32] hahaha gofg i want something that i can make .gif images === Paraselene_ is now known as Paraselene__ [01:32] !sash [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about sash [01:32] Kurowsaki, do you want them to be animated? [01:32] Kurowsaki: they have tutorials over there http://www.gimp.org/docs/ [01:32] yes i do [01:32] Anybody know what /bin/sash is? Yes, I do mean sash, not bash [01:32] ^zsquareplusc^ [01:32] Yeah, something like MSPaint would be handy, I tried GNU paint but it's just not the same [01:32] ubottu:: how can i intall my nvidia driver? [01:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:32] nope am I supposed to?? [01:33] zsquareplusc, no, a message popped up on the top bar asking me to install (activate) a driver. [01:33] * YankDownUnder grumbles incoherently [01:33] gofg: ? yes? and? GIMP can do animated gifs. just use layers [01:33] Ubottu help [01:33] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:33] Cause I have a secondary root account it seems, with shell as /bin/sash [01:33] ...onions have layers, too. [01:33] tuntun_: that's ok. its the same tool [01:33] Hello [01:33] no, i was saying "HEY LOOK UP AT WHAT HE SAID", zquareplusc [01:33] tuntun:: u activated then it my be download file n try to install right??then reboot ur ubuntu [01:34] I'm having some problem with sound in Ubuntu 8.10 [01:34] What program can I use to organise my photoes on my Creative Zen in Ubuntu? [01:34] Kurowsaki, you can get more gimp tutorials here too: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Gimp/1 [01:34] mikola::what problem sound? [01:34] shiMMer: I'm not getting any sound at all [01:34] zsquareplusc, I selected 'activate' but then it didn't say anything after that. [01:35] mikola::use gnome or?? [01:35] Hi, every budy, merry christmas. [01:35] shiMMer: I'm using gnome [01:35] Can anyone tell me what a 'partial upgrade' is? [01:35] I don't want to move up from 8.10 to 8.04, but 8.04 is insisting it needs a partial upgrade. [01:35] shiMMer: It is a new machine with an integrated Intel ICH10 card [01:35] I wouldn't bother with a partial upgrade if I were you [01:36] nnx did you just do a install [01:36] basically it's because all the dependent packages aren't completed yet [01:36] mikola::click preference or something on speaker icon then "check" /"mark" all icon. [01:36] u can try [01:36] try looking for "PCM" [01:36] nswfire: I just did two upgrades from 7.04 to 7.10, and 7.10 to 8.04. If I go to 8.10, my rustic GeForce2 MX card won't have it's 3D acceleration anymore without a lot of kernel fiddling, so I understand it (and I don't have time for much of any these days). [01:36] Ok [01:37] GodfatherofEire1: http://packages.debian.org/sid/sash [01:37] LTL: ubuntu has a packages.ubuntu.com too ;-) [01:37] then,how can i instal my nvidia driver? [01:37] oh ok just i did a install on this laptop i am using at the moment this morning via the 8.04 disk and i still had to do a update run this morning [01:38] tuntun_: and you restarted after activating? [01:38] Sound is still broken [01:38] How do I autorun a shell script on a pen drive every time I plug it in? [01:38] chriswyattuk: OK, so just ignore it? Are there any particularly bad implications for doing that? [01:38] how does one migrate email from redhat to ubuntu ? [01:38] zsquareplusc: you're right... again [01:39] zsquareplusc::also think nvidia 177 canot be installed by that way [01:39] NNX: it's just that I had a broken install once after doing a partial upgrade [01:39] but I was running beta software so it would probably be OK to do one in your case [01:39] shiMMer: that's the version i have and i only used ubuntu repositories [01:40] i have a backup/ directory on a smb share; but the transfer got interrupted; now i don't know which files have been already copied and which not; is there a way for me to continue the copy-paste? i don't want to start a fresh 50gb transfer where 80% is already complete :/ [01:40] quizme, Er...what package? Evo? Kmail? Tweetybird? [01:40] chriswyattuk: Ouch. I see. I was afraid of that. [01:40] Ghoul: do you have shell access to the server hosting the smb share? [01:40] zsquareplusc::it not work for me too [01:40] So, just as a precaution, I wait about a day and the repos are sorted then :) [01:41] jtaji: yes it's a windows machine [01:41] zsquareplusc::same with tuntun problem [01:41] but i see it from here [01:41] LTL, how would I go about removing sashroot? [01:41] Ghoul: there are probably graphical sync applications. i just know the command line tool rsync. it will only copy changes [01:41] YankDownUnder: server side POP accounts. [01:41] Ghoul: oh, I was going to suggest rsync... could use that in windows with cygwin [01:41] i am having problems connecting to a ad-hoc network.. it just doesn't seem to connect, but if its a router/ap it will connect fine.. the ad-hoc network is setup on a windows machine [01:41] zsquareplusc: interesting; can i use rsync from now on? [01:41] Better yet, how would I forcibly remove a user from a system? [01:41] shiMMer: you have nvidia-glx-177 installed? that's more or less what i had to do [01:42] quizme, Is the mail residing on the server, or local? (Oh, and what ya usin to fetch it - which email package?) [01:42] zsquareplusc::how to install? [01:42] Ghoul: actually if you just mount the smb share you should be able to rsync to it locally [01:42] zsquareplusc, yes I restarted. Now I have just tried it through the menu (system->admin>hardware drivers) and selected activate (it said it was not activated but that is what I selected to do when it first asked me). This time it has asked me for a password, and now it is downloading. [01:43] jtaji: yes! that's what i'm trying to express [01:43] YankDownUnder: on the server. Squirrel mail [01:43] Ghoul: rsync starts by scanning the source and destination folders. and then it copies the missing files. it's a somewhat complex tool. i'd sugest that you take a look at the man page [01:43] the smba share is automounted in kde4.1 :) [01:43] shiMMer: apt-get install [01:43] quizme, If everything is residing on the server, mate, then ya don't need anything 'cept fer a browser, ya? [01:43] GodfatherofEire1: deluser? [01:43] zsquareplusc: alright; guess i'll read everything about rsync and use taht from now on [01:43] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [01:43] onetinsoldier, via sudo su? [01:44] YankDownUnder: i'm migrating to a different server [01:44] shiMMer: yep, wrong window ;-) [01:44] Ghoul: not familiar with kde, is it available through a filesystem path? [01:44] GodfatherofEire1: of course a command such as that requires root access [01:44] chriswyattuk: Alright, I'll wait a few days before doing anything. Thank you! [01:44] i try [01:44] onetinsolder, thanks [01:44] yw [01:44] quizme, Ah - righty-oh - thought you were just doing it from an "end-user" perspective. [01:45] onetin soldier, I just meant if it could be done via the sudo command or whether it needed a root terminal [01:45] GodfatherofEire1: sudo, su = root [01:45] Is there a way to activate/deactivate wireless networking? [01:45] onetinsoldier, alright [01:45] im on an asus 900 with ubuntu Ibex, and the scroll click (double two fingered click) no longer initiates the cube effect, could some one give me a clue where to look? [01:46] im on an asus 900 with ubuntu Ibex, and the scroll click (double two fingered click) no longer initiates the cube effect, could some one give me a clue where to look? [01:46] GodfatherofEire1: ok, i see. no, i don't think you'd need a root term(i could be wrong tho). root term might be need to run X stuff [01:46] onetinsoldier, well, it worked, so thanks [01:46] !repeat | mickster04 [01:46] mickster04: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:46] GodfatherofEire1: you're welcome [01:47] i need help with jar files. Im new to linux and installing programs was meant to be easy using Add/Remove. I use a program which you download as a jar then extract and use a terminal command to run. Where can I copy the extracted files to and how do I setup a shortcut to run the command? [01:47] sorry, sosgy connection [01:47] dodgy* [01:48] greenfuji: try installing 'file-roller' [01:48] onetinsoldier: Whats the timeout on root access? [01:48] i just plugged another hard drive but when i start ubuntu i dont see it in the terminal when i do "sudo cfdisk" what should i do to have this hard drive able to ubuntu? [01:48] file-roller is an app, can I install from Add/Remove? [01:48] greenfuji: Is it a java application? [01:49] GodfatherofEire1: hmmm, i forget exactly. it's like 5 minutes, maybe 3 [01:49] onetinsoldier, alright, just wonderin [01:49] Hey guys, in ubuntu server how do I install SWAT? [01:49] greenfuji: jar files do not need to be unpacked, normally. use java -jar xx to run it [01:50] GodfatherofEire1: it's longer than i thought.. it's 15 minutes [01:50] onetinsoldier: crap, any way to change that? [01:50] Thats a large security hole I'd think [01:51] GodfatherofEire1: sudo timeout? see man sudoers, edit with visudo [01:51] is ogg better than mp3 [01:51] zsquareplusc, thanks [01:51] GodfatherofEire1: there is surely a way. i don't know where that config info is at tho [01:51] Ademan: you there? [01:52] gsingh, yes [01:52] GodfatherofEire1: then again, maybe i shouldn't be so sure. it might be hard-coded in the sudo binary for all i know [01:52] hi all [01:52] onetinsoldier, I guess not [01:52] gsingh: quality wise, they're about the same... difference is, if you encode something as ogg, you still own the file... that and its entirely open source [01:52] Hey guys, in ubuntu server how do I install SWAT? [01:53] Elite: #ubuntu-server [01:53] i downloaded the i915 driver from intel how do i go about installing it [01:53] zsquareplusc answered how to edit it pretty much, but thanks for the help with sashroot [01:53] is there anyway you can make an ogg file play on the nokia 96 phone [01:53] MellowDude: its already in the kernel... [01:53] onetinsoldier: timestamp_timeout in sudoers :-) [01:53] cos it can read mp3, wma etc [01:53] but not ogg === croppa_ is now known as croppa [01:53] yeah but i read and the one on intel site is better than the one venders have [01:53] Elite: sudo aptitude install swat [01:53] MellowDude: no its not [01:54] zsquareplusc: ok, thanks. GodfatherofEire1 is the one who was really wanting to know though [01:54] intel recommends u install it [01:54] thats what it said on intel site [01:54] doubt it gsingh try looking for different firmware on specialist forums but none of the mobile I've tried would do ogg [01:54] MellowDude: their driver is GPL, they can't improve on it without releasing it back to the community. [01:55] Off topic: Anyone know a good LiveCD? [01:55] zsquareplusc: ok, i see you told him, cool :-) [01:55] Yopu: make your own. [01:55] so intel lie to me [01:55] MellowDude: if you want to look at it that way, sure [01:55] Yopu: what are you going to use it for? [01:55] MellowDude, where does it say that on Intel's site? What I found says the opposite: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&Inst=Yes&ProductID=955&DwnldID=13815&strOSs=39&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng [01:56] Zoohouse: just a lightweight os for when i'm not at my home pc [01:56] Yopu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_LiveDistros [01:56] http://www.mibbit.com/url/ukxC4i [01:57] thx [01:57] Yopu: why not the ubuntu live cd? when you put it on a usb drive you can even get persistent home [01:57] is anyone good at rhythmbox? [01:57] !ask | Tyrath [01:57] Tyrath: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:57] zsquareplusc: not a bad idea [01:57] fde: how do I synchronise with an iPod [01:58] Tyrath: you can't, you can only play off of the iPod [01:58] onetinsoldier: I have no problem extracting the jar, I also have no problem running the program using the code supplied from the program supplier, its that the extracted files are in my Documents folder and I have to use terminal to run the program thats what I'm concerned with. I would prefer the contents of the folder to be in a "programs" area and a shortcut to run the program rather then using terminal. [01:58] fde: so I can't put files on the iPod using Rhythmbox? [01:58] nvm i build my own driver from scratch [01:58] Tyrath: pretty sure that's what I just said? [01:59] fde: so if you had an iPod which application would you use? [01:59] Tyrath: try gtkpod [01:59] fde: k thanks [01:59] Tyrath: I wouldn't purchase an iPod though, they're a rip off [01:59] Tyrath, my video nano works great with banshee [01:59] how do i install the "Human" window manager theme? [01:59] metacity i assume [01:59] KenBW22: it'll already be installed [01:59] greenfuji: ok, move the executable to /usr/local/bin ....then i can tell you how to make a shortcut to it [01:59] banshee == gtkpod ? [01:59] Tyrath: no [01:59] fde: i uninstalled it somehow [02:00] k [02:00] im on an asus 900 with ubuntu Ibex, and the scroll click (double two fingered click) no longer initiates the cube effect, could some one give me a clue where to look? [02:00] which one is better? [02:00] Tyrath, no, gtkpod is a techie program, banshee is a player equiv to rhythmbox [02:00] greenfuji: or, move the executable to wherever you want. then i'll walk you through making a shortcut [02:00] mickster04: do you have CCSM installed>? [02:00] Tyrath, no 'better' involved, just preference [02:00] nickrud: so banshee does synchronise? [02:00] Tyrath, yes [02:00] greenfuji: you can create a laucher in the panel. you enter the command line there and from then on you haev an icon you can click [02:01] see i don't really care for a player, just something that means I don't have to manually copy files across [02:01] mplayer works fine for me for playing files [02:01] but i'll try banshee, thanks [02:01] KenBW22, i dunno, it works with button1 [02:01] Tyrath, then gtkpod for you, if you're using mplayer for playing stuff ;) [02:01] KenBW22: ubuntu-artwork I believe ... they switched from gtk2-engines-ubuntulook to gtk2-engines-murrine in intrepid [02:02] nickrud: all I needs the synchronise. or whatever that feature is called that finds all the music on your machine for copying across [02:02] fde: i want the gtk2-engines-ubuntulook, which i have installed [02:02] as such which is the better out of gtkpod and banshee? [02:02] KenBW22: no, that is just the engine... hence ubuntu-artwork [02:02] Tyrath, try both, see which you prefer. Not like it costs anything [02:03] hehe. i'm low on download capacity atm [02:03] fde: ubuntu-artwork has the window manager? [02:03] So the jar extracts a folder with files in it. Do I put the whole folder in /usr.bin/? I enter this command in terminal to run the program "java -cp jts.jar:pluginsupport.jar:riskfeed.jar:hsqldb.jar:jcommon-1.0.12.jar:jfreechart-1.0.9.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar -Xmx256M jclient.LoginFrame ." [02:03] KenBW22: no, it is the theme [02:03] I generally veer toward shell apps [02:03] cause they're low weight [02:03] Tyrath, then gtkpod, low overhead there for sure [02:03] I'm trying to boot Hardy (I know it's not current) on an old computer of mine. It runs Debian fine, but the Hardy CD just drops it into a BusyBox shell. How do I fix this? [02:04] fde: the whole excerise here is to get Hardy's theme on Intrepid - im all the way except for the window manager [02:04] greenfuji: no, not /usr/bin. that's reserved for software under package management. i'd make a folder in /opt [02:04] nickrud: you sure banshee even does synchronization? I'm pretty sure it too can only play from such devices... [02:04] nickrud: because if gtkpod just handles the ls, cp, mv functions of the basic shell that's not much point [02:04] KenBW22: I'm not repeating myself again, stop arguing. [02:04] is there a min install CD anymore to install Ubuntu server from the net? [02:04] fde, I've been using it myself. Tyrath it updates database, etc [02:04] another thing i forgot to ask [02:05] jeeves_Moss: yes there is [02:05] how do i get a 3 button serial mouse to work in ubuntu [02:05] fde: installing ubuntu-artwork removes gtk-engines-ubuntulooks , which is what i want to keep [02:05] fde, although I did use gtkpod and a custom libgpod for a while, with the manual addition to the ipod's config. Could be the diff. [02:05] the mouse works great in windows [02:05] jeeves_Moss: start looking for what you want here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/ [02:05] zsquareplusc, is it a mini CD that then downloads all the packages from the net? [02:06] * zsquareplusc should publish the 200kb network installer for ubuntu.. [02:06] mickster04: do you have System > Prefs > Compiz Config Settings Manager installed> [02:06] yes === weilawei|away is now known as weilawei [02:06] zsquareplusc, the ones I'm looking for (I had a copy a while ago) that gets the basic off the ground, then dwnloads the rest [02:06] mickster04: is the keybinding enabled in there? [02:06] brb [02:07] any help on the mouse part [02:07] Hi - I'm trying to set up publickey authentication for an svn repository. We have the option to upload our rsa or dsa keys. I've followed their steps (ssh-keygen, append the entry in id_rsa.pub, ssh-add, then connect), but I keep getting an error "Permission denied (publickey)." I've confirmed that I made no typos. [02:07] :/ [02:07] Does anyone have any advice? [02:07] KenBW22: sudo aptitude install human-theme ... you could have just done apt-cache show ubuntu-artwork 10 mins ago [02:08] jeeves_Moss: yes, go zo the link above and click on netboot. there is a 9.9M iso [02:08] fde: theyre installing now [02:08] zsquareplusc, thanks. (a few glasses of wine will do that to ya) [02:09] hi guys [02:09] zsquareplusc: how to make folder in opt/? I'm assuming file browser doesn't give me the permissions necessary. Thanks for helping, completely new to Linux. [02:09] i have lost my gnome desktop panels on ubuntu any idea how i can get them back? [02:10] if any one can help out it would be much appreciated [02:10] nazraf, first try killall gnome-panel in a terminal [02:10] i do but nothing happens [02:10] how do I change my system time its stuck with Eastern time ... if I change it as root it works for that session but reverts back after a reboot [02:10] nazraf, then try alt-f2 gnome-panel [02:11] greenfuji: gksu ...then login.. then, nautilus [02:11] k one sec pls [02:11] !88w8335 [02:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about 88w8335 [02:11] greenfuji: use a terminal sudo mkdir /opt/myapp; sudo chown $USER /opt/myapp from then on you can write it as normal user [02:11] CodeWar, have you tried right clicking the time display in the panel, there's a place there to change time and date [02:11] k i did [02:11] but nothing came up i did it before [02:11] nickrud, correct taht changes it for the current session but doesnt hold after a reboot [02:12] and the terminal came up [02:12] k i got the terminal up [02:12] when i do killall gnome-terminal the terminal window closes [02:13] nazraf, type: ps -A | grep gnome-panel , do you get a line ending with gnome-panel? we're trying to find out if it;s a running panel [02:13] nazraf, gnome-panel, not terminal ;) [02:13] greenfuji: did you get a root nautilus up? [02:14] i partitioned my usb stick and installed ubuntu 8.10 on a partition other than the first. i want to be able to boot to it with a cd using grub. can someone point me in the right direction to get this info? [02:14] k will do sorry just one sec [02:15] onetinsoldier: yes its up. I also did what zsquareplusc said [02:16] BTW, i tried the cd boot disk that www.pendrivelinux.com had, but i am assuming that booted into the first partition of the memory stick [02:16] i was writing down the commands to remember for another time [02:16] namespace:use super-grub disk (google) or see following for more info : [02:16] !grub [02:16] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:16] hello all. Anyone familiar with using IPP for printing? [02:16] ok, DasEi, i'll google it now [02:16] greenfuji: ok. roger [02:16] yes i get a line ending with gnome-panel [02:16] yes i got a line ending with gnome-panel [02:17] nazraf, ok, do killall gnome-panel [02:17] need some beginners help getting two linux(ubuntu) machines to connect so I can access the desktop from the laptop. any takers??? [02:17] k i did [02:17] where can I get a list of all the default packages/programs that come with ubuntu? [02:17] namespace:with that cd you can either boot any found /boot or write grub in mbr (or elsewhwere) [02:17] nazraf, did you get a panel? [02:17] no [02:18] fde: i thnk ive got it, kind of [02:18] tnothiing came up the screen just flickered [02:18] cool. So I now have a folder in /opt called myapp. I copied the extracted jar into there. Is this typical of how people install applications not available through Add/Remove? [02:18] nazraf, ok, we'll try resetting the panels completely. copy and paste into the terminal: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [02:18] I have a small network print server unit which supports IPP, but I am not able to connect to it when I try to add a printer using ubuntu printer config. [02:18] fde: but those ubuntu-artwork and ubuntu-theme just revert me back to Intrepid's version of Human, which is what i was trying to get away from [02:18] k will do nick thank you one sec [02:19] ill have to typre im running off two diff pcs [02:19] What is pan0 in iwconfig? [02:19] detrix: [02:19] !vnc [02:19] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:19] DasEi: ok. i was trying to mess around with the cd that pendrivelinux had by mounting the iso and modifying the menu.lst for grub that they had, but i'm not sure if that would have worked or what the menu.lst entry should have been [02:19] greenfuji: it can be harder.. try compiling a somewhat complex app from source sometime... one that doesn't come with a 'configure' script, or even if it does come with one, hehe. [02:19] KenBW22: I said 'human-theme' ... which is a package [02:20] onetinsoldier, ever compile X 3.6? [02:20] does anyone know if the wubi project plans to add support for debian? [02:20] detrix:ultra-vnc is even nicer, or do you just want file access ? [02:20] fde: thats what i installed, and it reverted me to Intrepid's murrine engine [02:20] onetinsoldier: I'll take note to try that some time :-D [02:20] k i did that nick [02:20] nazraf, no change? [02:20] KenBW22: It should have given you the choice of several themes if you look in System > Preferences > Appearance [02:20] nickrud: hmm, i'm not sure. i did compile X once... many many years ago. it might have been 3.6! [02:21] DasEi thanx [02:21] doesn't cups in ubuntu have support for IPP printing? [02:21] no same as before a slight flicker and no change [02:21] seeker: yes [02:21] so no I need to create a shortcut to run a command which runs out of this folder. Whats the best way to do that? [02:21] fde: yea Human was there, but the wrong version of it [02:21] onetinsoldier, many years ago qualifies, it was a strange piece of software [02:21] where can I get a list of all the default packages/programs that come with ubuntu? [02:21] namespace:do you have any grub in mbr now ? [02:21] * YankDownUnder tries to pull out hair only to find he shaves his head => GLib !!! Argh! [02:21] nickrud: i can't hardly believe it, but i think that may have been it [02:21] mn: packages.ubuntu.com ... look at 'ubuntu-desktop' package [02:21] namespace: do* [02:22] ty fde [02:22] fde: there was only 1 Human in there if that's what you mean [02:22] greenfuji: ok, ready? one sec.. ok? [02:22] DasEi: yes, i have grub [02:22] ilmob, you still around? [02:22] btw nick how can i address my message to you like you do when you wriet to me [02:22] namespace: what does the menu show / what happens ? [02:22] onetinsoldier: take your time, you're a champ for helping [02:22] yup [02:22] KenBW22: if you have gtk2-engine-ubuntulooks ... just click 'customize' and see if its listed [02:22] mn, releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 , any of the *.list files [02:23] fde - know of a good doc or faq for someone with little knowlege of setting up/configuring using IPP ? [02:23] greenfuji: at the top menus... System --> Preferences --> Main Menu ...thanks :-) [02:23] DasEi: kinda lost me on that question [02:23] seeker: Its really pretty intuitive... just check out System > Administration > Printing [02:23] i relatively new to grub and ubuntu in general [02:24] seeker: Add > Printer > IPP ... set the IP of the printer, pretty much ready to go [02:24] i was always a slakware user [02:24] seeker: provided the printer is supported at least [02:24] but i'm liking what was done with ubuntu [02:24] greenfuji: now it depends on where you want to put it in there.. lets's say it happens to be 'Accessories' [02:24] namespace: ? we can try to fix your current sys, then more specific info is needed, or try a repair with sg-disk, it offers good help [02:24] fde - you mean by cups itself or the mini server I have? [02:25] anymore ideas nick [02:25] hi all. I have a USB stick. How can I turn it into a bootable ISO? [02:25] merry christhams [02:25] greenfuji: oh wait, i believe i forgot something you'll have to do first, hang on [02:25] nazraf, I missed what you said before: you should use my full nickname on the line, it shows the line as red here. [02:25] !usb>F [02:25] F, please see my private message [02:25] seeker: you're using the CLI atm? system-config-printer and system-config-printer-qt (I believe) make it a lot easier [02:25] F : unetbootin [02:25] onetinsoldier: I need to run this command "java -cp jts.jar:pluginsupport.jar:riskfeed.jar:hsqldb.jar:jcommon-1.0.12.jar:jfreechart-1.0.9.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar -Xmx256M jclient.LoginFrame ." in terminal I cd to the directory (now in /opt/myapp) and then type that command. [02:25] greenfuji: just in case.. close that out for now [02:25] DasEi: i don't need to fix my current system. that is working fine. i am trying to make a boot cd so that i can use the ubuntu i put on my usb memory stick (on the 3rd partition) [02:25] onetinesoldier, the face should not be in the command obviously [02:26] nazraf, no. the resetting of the panel completely to default and restarting it has always worked with a fubar'd panel for me [02:26] terli: i have errors when I try installing unetbootin. [02:26] nickrud: i tried the last thing you said nothin happened [02:26] onetinsoldier: closed [02:26] terli: i am using the new Dell Mini 9. [02:26] greenfuji: do this first... System --> Preferences --> Appearance [02:26] onetinsoldier: done [02:27] terli: I am using the new Intel Atom processor, so I get some trouble using both i386 and x86_64 things... [02:27] fde - not at the cli but I can certainly take at look at that method. :) [02:27] nickrud: could it possibily be set to hidden or something? [02:27] namespace: you want a custom-boot cd from your parti, now I got you [02:27] greenfuji: Interface Tab.. on that tab check "Editable menu shortcut keys" [02:28] onetinsoldier: done [02:28] greenfuji: then open up the other window again(Main Menu) [02:28] DasEi: basically, i want to be able to take the usb memory stick and go to another machine that does not support booting from a usb drive and boot from the cd which will load up ubuntu from the usb memory stick [02:28] DasEi: yeah [02:28] greenfuji: now it depends on where you want to put it in there.. lets's say it happens to be 'Accessories' [02:28] onetinsoldier: accessories is fine for now [02:29] greenfuji: surely you can see on the right hand side 'Add New' [02:29] fde: Human isnt listed under Window Manaer [02:29] Manager [02:29] onetinsoldier: yep [02:29] nazraf, possibly, but there should be a few pixels visible. You could run gconf-editor /apps/panel/toplevels/ and check autohide under the bottom and top screens [02:29] greenfuji: errr, 'New Item' i mean [02:29] hi guys, where can I find the InstallDir of my ActivePerl? and even how do I know if ActivePerl or ActivePython is installed? [02:29] nickrud k i will do that [02:29] fde - starting the system config gives me the same nice UI as I get when Idirectly start via gnome. [02:29] onetinsoldier, I'm giving up - day's half done - found XFce in the channels anyways...was worth a go. [02:29] namespace:I never did that myself, but there is http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ , and maybe someone else is around [02:29] greenfuji: ok.. that's about it... make the new item andenter what the command for the shortcut is [02:29] What do I need to do to connect to wifi by command line? [02:30] DasEi: ok, thanks [02:30] YankDownUnder: i could help you, but i could not get you to answer my yes or no question earlier [02:30] namespace:np, sorry for getting you wrong [02:31] YankDownUnder: you had said you were missing Glib.. i asked you a few times if had figured it out yet [02:31] you had* [02:31] how is 4-channel audio configured in ubuntu? [02:31] seeker: Yes, its just easier to say the apps name rather than direct you there all the time... [02:31] onetinsoldier, Sorry mate - children are underfoot today - attention span of a gnat I've got [02:31] YankDownUnder: lol [02:31] seeker: just go to add a printer, IPP is listed, set the IP, and follow the wizard [02:31] KenBW22 sorry i disappeared, carry on please!:S [02:32] Anyone have their keyboard and mouse stop working after suspending to ram? [02:32] YankDownUnder: ok, you still missing Glib? [02:32] miaviator278: usb? [02:32] have a look in CCSM, and go to Rotate Cube [02:32] mgolisch: laptop - USB is an easy fix [02:32] nickrud i went in but i cant find the auto hide option? [02:33] an does anyone have a problem with emerald crashing repeatedly? asus eee 900 [02:33] DasEi: apparently pendrivelinux.com has a tutorial: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/12/17/create-a-cd-to-boot-ubuntu-from-usb/ [02:33] hi ppl [02:33] onetinsoldier, Just a version diff. Sad but true. S'all right cuz I'm installing from the source channel...saves me a bit of time that - but would like to compile me own stuff as I've done in the past on Fed and Mandribble [02:33] miaviator278: no idea then [02:33] but i still need to figure out how to set the entry correct in menu.lst [02:33] mgolisch: LOL - thanks [02:33] mickster04: done? [02:34] YankDownUnder: ok.. you get the Glib dependency figured out yet? yes? no? [02:34] nazraf, under toplevels, you should see bottom_panel_screen0 , it's in that folder. Same for top_panel_screen_0. If you don't see those under /apps/panels/toplevels, you didn't run the --recursive-unset command properly. [02:34] onetinsoldier, Nah - still a mystery m8 [02:34] how a fix the lcd bright on ubuntu? [02:34] KenBW22 it has button1 assigned to initiate cube [02:34] YankDownUnder: ok, i can help with that [02:34] is the plugin enabled? [02:34] greenfuji: you got it? all set? [02:34] can someone help me install unetbootin please? [02:34] fde - thanks. I actually tried before joing the channel. There seems to be something I missed because it simply doesn't seem the device using the data I enter. [02:34] onetinsoldier, Howzabout I put the ankle-biters to nap first, eh? [02:34] (08:32:11 PM) terli: open a gnome terminal [02:34] (08:32:15 PM) terli: run uname -a [02:34] (08:32:20 PM) terli: give me the result [02:34] (08:33:18 PM) F: Linux f 2.6.24-19-lpia #!

[02:35] aoliveira: what's wrong with it? [02:35] KenBW22, yes it does work if i press ctrl alt and the left mouse, but i want it to work with double double finger click aka scroll click [02:35] oh right [02:35] F: is nuts, don't pay any attention to him, his uname -a gives a timestamp from JULY [02:36] YankDownUnder: i have to go myself, but apt-get install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev pkg-config [02:36] YankDownUnder: you're compiling diff? are you still stuck with the build depenencies? then the apt-get build-dep diff [02:36] mickster04: iirc its Button 3 [02:36] but I am having some problems. When I try to run apt-get install unetbootin I get the following error: E: Couldn't find package unetbootin [02:36] do I have to update apt-get somehow? [02:36] miaviator278: everytime the pc boots the bright is at max [02:36] onetinsoldier, Coolbeans. Roger that. [02:36] KenBW22 ok, ill try that now [02:36] YankDownUnder: :-) [02:36] miaviator278: where could i fix it? [02:36] onetinsoldier: I entered the command I pasted before and created the shortcut. Nothing happens when I select it. I think it has to do with not being in the directory where it needs to run. I opened a terminal and cd to directery and then ran command and it worked. How do I amend the shortcut command to go to the directory first? [02:36] namespace:that's another thing again then the custom-boot cd is, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html ,with root=/boot of your usb [02:37] nickrud when i typed the gconf-editor /apps/panel/toplevels [02:37] Has anyone made a Linksys Wireless USB adapter connect with encryption on? [02:37] namespace:also, different hardware might cause you probs [02:37] aoliveira: should be a module [02:37] miaviator278: in the windows xp the bright is the last configured [02:37] nickrud the conf editor opens burt says bad key or directory name [02:37] greenfuji: past into there what you put in for the command. you probably just didn't make it the full path, or use quotes where they were needed [02:37] paste* [02:38] yohoo [02:38] aoliveira: does the dimmer function work? [02:38] i always put the brighter to mminimun but when i boot it backs to the same [02:38] DasEi: ok, thanks...checking it out now... [02:38] merry christmans [02:38] greenfuji: paste into here(into the channel) [02:38] miaviator278: eys [02:38] mickster04: any luck? [02:38] nickrud k never mind i had to remove the forward slash [02:38] aoliveira: your computer works and wish to know how to fix it?

[02:38] nickrud and the auto hide options are not checked [02:39] anyone? [02:39] but it's kinda annoy [02:39] namespace: one more hint: grub counts from 0 , the device-identifiers (/dev/sda1) from 1 [02:39] aoliveira: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=983186 [02:39] I want to install lex, how to search packages for lex by dpkg? [02:39] nazraf, then I'm not sure what your issue is: my next step, in a shotgun approach would be logging out and back in.

Think he's working on a larger virtual display? [02:52] nickrud, do you think booting into recovery mode might help, maybe he trashed some of his system when he turned it off last night? [02:52] miaviator278: thanks a lot :) [02:52] nazraf: nickrud: most likely, x doesn't reset well. [02:52] KenBW22: :) [02:52] k what should i do [02:52] miaviator278: what have i just done though? [02:52] nazraf: nickrud: what is the dpkg command to reconfigure x [02:53] miaviator278, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg [02:53] miaviator278 im not sure im new to linux [02:53] I'm getting an error "Could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process "/opt/myapp/IBJts/" (Permission denied) [02:53] nickrud should i do that [02:53] KenBW22: ping kenneth-desktop and it should give you the ip, this way you can ssh blah@kenneth-desktop [02:53] nazraf, yes [02:53] k [02:54] anyone know if you can set WINEPREFIX to a crossover bottle for the purpose of winetricks? [02:54] miaviator278: no what i mean is what did that command do [02:54] nazraf, but: X and gnome have changed how they interact since I last really looked into it, and stuff has changed out from under me. If that last command doesn't do the trick completely I'm not positive where to go next [02:55] !hosts [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts [02:55] !dns [02:55] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address.

[02:56] nazraf, that's good, it's saying it made a backup. Now, restart X one more time [02:56] there is other ways to do it. [02:56] when I try to login with kde I get an error saying unable to run kdestartupconfig4. check your installation [02:56] miaviator278: so is the desktop's hostname useless? [02:56] please help [02:56] nickrud so same command again? [02:56] what would be the reason you get a permission denied error when running a shortcut [02:56] KenBW22: sometimes [02:56] nazraf, no, ctl-alt-backspace. That restarts X. === mike_ is now known as Guest14582 [02:57] KenBW22: Depends on your dns settings [02:57] problem; flashplugin-nonfree has stopped working for me.

[05:17] shadowClone: try starting it from command line. not everything goes to the gnome menu. you could also intall the 'menu' package, which you probably don't have installed. [05:18] id suggest running the command i told you first [05:18] uh..."netstat | less" [05:18] Haberdasher: then see what happens, and we will go from there [05:18] mortici, it says command not found [05:18] i just switched back to gnome and man am i happy i did, kde4 just angered me [05:18] Haberdasher: ok do this [05:18] thanx onetinsoldier [05:18] Hello guys [05:18] is there a browser in the repos that can scale pages like the android/iphone browser? [05:19] Haberdasher: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:19] Anyone know how to use virtualbox?? [05:19] shadowClone: you're welcome. whether the menu package will make it show up in the gnome menu though, i'm not sure [05:19] It crashes on me during format [05:19] Papi: what crashes? [05:19] It said Stopping GNOME Display Manager [OK], then Starting GNOME Display Manager [OK] [05:20] and then? [05:20] shadowClone: if you want to add it to the gnome menu, i know how. just ask [05:20] Virtual drives [05:20] But it just went back to the ubuntu@ubuntu-thing and it's waiting for input [05:20] well i guess i'll just add it manually [05:20] Drive* [05:20] When i am in xp setup [05:20] VWhat is meant by 'kernel process'?

[05:23] Well it doesn't freeze [05:23] Papi: it doesn't freeze, or it just gets slow? [05:23] Papi: how big did you make your virtual drive, the .vbx file....? [05:23] mortici: he's not likely to have direct rendering running from livecd... heck, i didn't even have that after doing a fill install [05:23] mortici, it says "Error: unable to open display" [05:23] full* [05:23] hi all, how do i solve this problem? dpkg: error processing amule-utils (--remove): cannot remove `/usr/share/man/fr/man1/amulecmd.1.gz': Stale NFS file handle [05:23] neeto: ~/.local/share/...

[05:24] mortici: Haberdasher has? ok.. i thought he was having problems getting install to his laptop. sorry [05:25] I'm running from a CD [05:25] how to install flash player? [05:25] shiMMer: on 8.10 64-bit? [05:25] new sound card quit working after reboot in hardy? [05:25] I think I've installed the 8.04 base system with my old ubuntu CD I used for my desktop [05:25] But installed it without a kernel [05:25] any one use puppy? [05:26] Haberdasher: installed w/o a kernel? how did you manage that [05:26] Haberdasher: okie so your having trouble loading the livecd gui? [05:26] thats a bit like saying you built a computer w/o a motherboard [05:26] It gave me a yes/no option to continue, and I accidentally chose yes, lol [05:26] Haberdasher: from 8.10 correct? [05:26] 32bit [05:26] whats the latest kernel image #? [05:26] Yes mortici [05:27] flash player on 32bit [05:27] Haberdasher: ahhh i see, i thought you were having trouble with an installation :) [05:27] Haberdasher: as in an already installed os, but no GUI :) [05:27] Haberdasher: im special and the beer is flowing :) [05:27] =P [05:27] I actually had some weird issues while installing 8.04 [05:27] Haberdasher: i would suggest you try the alternate cd real quick [05:28] shiMMer: well, on cammand line just do an apt-cache search firefox flash and see what you come up with [05:28] Haberdasher: you wouldn't have any specail hardware would you? [05:28] also, i can't read a 1 gig compactflash card but the 32mb works fine [05:28] Nope [05:28] shimmer: flashplugin-nonfree ? [05:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/92601/ [05:29] yes too [05:29] Haberdasher: hmmmmm thats weird that you would get no visual on the 8.10 livecd but it would work on the 8.04 [05:29] Ha, that's actually what I used to install ubuntu on my desktop, the alternateCD [05:29] Haberdasher: best bet would be to use the altCD and see if it works [05:29] shiMMer: yep.. install that [05:30] Should I download the amd64 one, or the i386? [05:30] i try [05:30] ok [05:30] Haberdasher: depends on what processor you have [05:30] AMD it is! [05:31] Haberdasher: 64-bit [05:31] how well does the 64bit ubuntu handle? [05:31] ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso [05:31] That's the one I'm currently downloading [05:31] grab it [05:32] Which will take over 4hours because my internet sucks =( [05:32] Haberdasher: dude, you gotta get out of the stone age [05:33] solmakou: works fine for me.. i use both the 64 bit mythbuntu and the ubuntustudio distros [05:33] VWhat is meant by 'kernel process'? [05:33] Lol, can't really afford better internet [05:33] Pay $30/month for this crap, downloading at 60kbps [05:33] 3 hours 30mins [05:33] can someone help me with a problem i have logging out [05:34] or shutting down, rather [05:34] Haberdasher: do you have an amd64 proc? [05:34] Yes, I do [05:34] Haberdasher: okie just making sure :D [05:34] =) [05:35] mib_cu7fh4j9: state your problem [05:35] Thanks for your help, I'm off for the night, happy holidays! [05:35] yeah, that would suck if you waited 4+ hours for the d/l and then found out that it was the wrong file [05:35] i press shut down, and i get a dialog that requirs me to put in my root password before it allows me to shut down [05:35] Haberdasher: good luck, merry christmas [05:36] mib_cu7fh4j9: and when you enter the password, does it work? [05:36] yeah [05:36] mib_cu7fh4j9: ok, so if it works, what is the problem? [05:36] yes. i just don't understand why i need to put in my root password to shut down [05:37] i have no other users so i don't think it's that [05:37] hi, any one know of a utility that can show list of files on a jfs partition, if not recover? [05:37] i need to put in a root password each time i want to shut down [05:37] no matter how old the session is [05:37] i wanted to try to diagnose what it is [05:37] Hello can someone please help me with EEEUbuntu please? [05:37] interesting. i don't have to put my root password in to shut down, from X [05:37] * Haberdasher is back from the dead [05:37] How do you add windows to the task bar? [05:37] Merry Xmas everyone.! [05:38] I just noticed something. When I installed ubuntu on my desktop, I had to create an ubuntu folder under C [05:38] Like when you minizmize a window it doesnt sit on the task bar [05:38] jblp: merry christmas! [05:38] With a bunch of files in it, would I have to do the same on my laptop? [05:38] Thank you [05:38] presently i used ubuntu hardy, if i want ubuntu intrepid which one is better, upgrade hardy or fresh install [05:38] Just had to sign in my phone to send this message [05:38] Good night all [05:38] :-) [05:38] CallumEEEPC: right click panel, select add to panel, choose "window list" [05:38] ok ty [05:39] it's kinda a new occurance for me too, it wasn't doing this a week ago. the root dialog thing has weird wording, too "system policy prevents stopping the when other users are logged in" [05:39] im lookin for where snort is located. how do i do that? 'locate snort'? [05:39] stopping the when..\ [05:39] ogre: dpkg -L | less [05:39] ok that worked fine! [05:39] mib_cu7fh4j9: what's your output of command "groups" [05:39] Thanks so much [05:39] CallumEEEPC: yw. :) [05:39] any1 know how to set theme on fluxbox?? [05:40] richard adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [05:40] hey do you know how to remove the AWN dock? or dock thing. [05:40] I dont like it i just want a ubuntu theme [05:40] @callum: sudo apt-get remove avant-windows navigator [05:40] i believe [05:40] mib_cu7fh4j9: hmm... so it's not a groups issue. dunno then... [05:41] sorry, avant-windows-navigator [05:41] Ok ty [05:41] I will try that thanks :) [05:41] CallumEEEPC: you could probably also just disable it from system -> preferences -> sessions (but uninstalling it like mib_cu7fh4j9 suggests sohuld also work) [05:41] yw, make sure to take it out of your sessions, too [05:42] system > preferences > sessions, look for anything that says Awn or Avant windows navigator and remove it [05:42] mib_cu7fh4j9: go to system -> administration -> authorizations [05:42] mib_cu7fh4j9: see if you have the shutdown auth... [05:42] how do i check that? [05:43] VWhat is meant by 'kernel process'? [05:43] mib_cu7fh4j9: it's a gui.. up top, themenu up top [05:43] mib_cu7fh4j9: it's listed there ("shutdown system..." items) [05:43] on eeebuntu i dont have a sessions? [05:43] mib_cu7fh4j9: under powermanagement group [05:43] mib_cu7fh4j9: it's a gui.. up top, the menu up top.... System --> Administration -> Authorizations [05:44] mib_cu7fh4j9: also... since it says "prevents when other users are logged in"... why not check if any other users are logged in? run a "w" command in the terminal. maybe there are some users that shouldn't be there? [05:45] therealnanotube: i'm sorry, i can't find it.. there are two panes, on the left there is a tree view with org and com (etc) and then the right has the details [05:45] therealnanotube: ok! w shows 2 users [05:45] hey anyone know how to get the UBUNTU clear looks theme please? [05:45] bullgard4: i'mnot sure i fully understand the question. maybe if i could understand what is causing you to ask this [05:45] mib_cu7fh4j9: that's the one... ok, now...it's under org -> freedesktop -> hal -> power management [05:46] CallumEEEPC: hmm, well, then don't worry about the sessions, just uninstall the package. [05:46] bullgard4: as in like, what are you trying to do? is this a message you're getting? [05:46] mib_cu7fh4j9: but first, check with a "w" to see who else is logged in... [05:47] Nano Tube do you know how to update the themes? i dont have the ubuntu wallpaper or clear looks theme :( [05:47] therealnanotube: i did run 'w", there are 2 users [05:47] however, they both are the same name (richard) [05:47] Hello everyone. :) [05:47] mib_cu7fh4j9: ok, i assume that's you... one of them must be the one running x-session-manager, the other your terminal. ok, so no other users... well, find that shutdown authorization, and see what it says. [05:48] not sure why there are two users, if i go to system > admin > users and groups there is only me and root [05:48] Merry Xmas to you ALL also. [05:48] CallumEEEPC: sorry, i've never played with themes, cuz i've always been happy with the default ubuntu theme. :) [05:48] therealnanotube: which shut down authorization in particular [05:48] mib_cu7fh4j9: Each time you login, whether in X or via CLI, it shows your username. [05:48] there are several under power-managment [05:48] yeah I have also, yet i have eeebuntu a ubuntu thats made for eee pc out of the box [05:49] onetinsoldier: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.suse.general.german/2003-05/msg03122.html says that 'ps -ef' displays 'kernel processes' in square brackets. [05:49] CallumEEEPC: you mean this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clearlooks+Compact?content=69357 [05:49] mib_cu7fh4j9: yea, there are two, one for "when multiple users are logged in", and one for just shutdown. look at both, doesn't hurt to see what they say. [05:49] bullgard4: ok, reading [05:50] hello there [05:50] No it is a brown / orange theme/ [05:50] mib_cu7fh4j9: compare the two. for me, i have the plain shutdown as "active console = yes", and the one with multiple sessions as "active console = admin authentication". i'm guessing that for some reason ubuntu thinks there are multiple users, so asking for admin auth. [05:50] bullgard4: i don't speak german though. however.... [05:50] ok, for "multiple users" it doesn't look like anyone is granted permissions. for just shutdown, it looks the same [05:50] Thanks for trying though, It comes default on Ubuntu 8.10 [05:50] my video performance has been borked since upgrading to Intrepid. my assumption has been that it's an xorg problem, but I'm wondering if it might be a kernel issue... anyone have a thought on that? [05:51] mib_cu7fh4j9: this is not addressing the root cause (as in, WHY ubuntu thinks there are multiple users), but you can probably fix it by setting "active console = yes" in the multiple users shutdown autherization. === quinn1 is now known as quinn2 [05:51] bullgard4: i think it means exactly what it says it means... it's a process that is running from kernel code, rather than from an application/program [05:51] there only difference between the two is in multiple it says admin auth and the normal shutdown it only says "yes" [05:51] so you want me to change the "admin auth" to yes [05:52] mib_cu7fh4j9: right, that should fix the symptom, at least. [05:53] onetinsoldier: So a 'kernel process' in your definition is a daughter process? [05:53] therealnanotube: ok, thanks a lot for your patience! [05:53] bullgard4: think of it as the difference between a driver and a plain old regular program [05:53] mib_cu7fh4j9: no prob, hope it helps :) [05:53] See i have the CRUX theme etc, [05:53] therealnanotube: i'm the only "user" on this computer so i don't particularly care why my computer thinks there are 2 users on [05:53] But no Ubuntu 8.10 orange / brown theme [05:54] mib_cu7fh4j9: well, yea... but i'm just curious :) [05:54] anyone know if there is a way to get compiz to start after you have enabled compositing in metacity? [05:54] May i aks what compiz is? [05:54] ask* [05:54] CallumEEEPC: you may it is "desktop effects" [05:55] Oh Ok thanks! :) [05:55] :) [05:55] what's the command to rename again [05:55] you handle, that is [05:55] mib_cu7fh4j9: mv [05:55] mib_cu7fh4j9: /nick === mib_cu7fh4j9 is now known as sticky [05:55] mib_cu7fh4j9: aha, found something. this may be it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/287715 [05:56] Oh I know! [05:56] sticky: There you go. [05:56] The theme I want is Human! [05:56] I don't have the theme Human! or the background :( [05:56] sticky: what was wrong with mib_cu7fh4j9 ? [05:57] CallumEEEPC: You can find that one on gnome-look.org :) [05:57] onetinsoldier: I know the difference between a driver and a plain old regular program. But I cannot see how this enlightens the meanin g of a kernel process. [05:57] bullgard4: What do you need to know? [05:59] Ok i found the theme human and installed it [05:59] yet the menu bars/desk top bars arent orange lol [05:59] only the window is orange [05:59] bullgard4: A kernel process, simply put, is a process that is run in kernel space, and has access to kernel operations that a user process(one you or another user runs) does not have access to. === quinn2 is now known as quinn1 [06:00] davenull: I would like to know what is meant by 'kernel process'. [06:00] bullgard4: i'm not sure how to explain it other than it's kernel code running in user space === soreau_ is now known as soreau [06:01] bullgard4: if i do ps aus | less... i have several of these... [scsi_eh_0] [scsi_eh_1], ect [06:01] anyone please help or know how to change the colour of the desk bars? [06:01] the bar on top and bottom? [06:01] or should i reboot? [06:02] bullgard4: Kernel processes are the processes the *are* the kernel itself, running on your system. [06:02] davenull: Thank you very much for providing me this excellent definition. -- A happy Christmas to you. [06:02] bullgard4: since i have the kernel headers install on my system, i did a.... locate scsi_eh === Aryan is now known as Guest35114 [06:03] In Intrepid Ibex server, which apt packages do I need to install so I can start the GNOME environment when I need it? [06:03] davenull: onetinsoldier has provided an excellent explanation. So my curiosity is satisfied. [06:03] bullgard4: and i come up with hits on that ONLY from kernel headers. if i had the kernel source on my system, i would come up with more hits... but i would get hits only from the kernel type of files [06:03] im a parrot [06:04] whats everyone up to tonight?

I found two hits. But they did not explain the meaning. [06:05] Merry Christmas! [06:05] onetinsoldier: I grepped the Ubuntu kernel Documentation. I found two hits. But they did not explain the meaning. [06:05] u2 [06:05] Merry Christmas!

[06:22] my english is bad [06:23] quit [06:24] hello hello [06:24] heyo [06:24] Merry Xmas to you all (I live in russia so time=yourtime+1 day) I'm orthodox, but it costs nothing for me to wish you a Merry Christmas! [06:24] hey, do you guys know anything about how to install linux on an iphone 3g [06:24] ? [06:24] well, merry Xstmas [06:25] you too [06:25] hey all. is there a way to use apt-get install to install vi/vim with syntax highlighting option enabled? [06:25] no idea about iphone [06:25] it seems the one it installed doesn't have this enabled. [06:25] or, compiled without it. [06:25] hello, does anyone here know how to extract an xorg.conf from a liveCD? [06:26] i looked at /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it isn't a proper xorg [06:26] which apt packages are responsible for providing the GNOME desktop environment? [06:26] chyea: You have to set it up in your ~/.vimrc file, or vim will not have hilighting. [06:26] "aptitude search gnome" hasn't revealed anything useful. [06:26] darn.. i want to install linux on my iphone, i've been trying without success [06:27] ÄĸöÊÇÖÐÎĵÄ? [06:27] davenull, but the "vi --version" command says that the syntax option is not available. when i do ":syntax on" it also says the same thing. [06:27] chyea: Be sure to install the 'vim-runtime' package, and then run 'vimtutor'. At the bottom is the path to the example .vimrc you can copy, hilighting is enabled on that. [06:27] ok so after 7 grueling hours and much help I was advised that my computer boots to ipv6 vs ipv4 and in order for me to get the internet to work properly I have to get ipv4 with dhcp working. after 3 hours of researching I have come to nothing but dead ends is there anyone who can help? [06:27] chyea: VI, or vim? [06:28] vim, sorry. [06:28] chyea: Install 'vim-runtime', that is what has that option. [06:28] i made a alias for vi -> vim, so i've got a habbit of calling it that. =X [06:28] is there a way to exit X in the live CD? [06:28] to get to the framebuffer? [06:29] chyea: hi... what vim package(s) do you have installed... do, dpkg -l 'vim*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' [06:29] (nvm, I forgot to use "aptitude update" first after switching mirror) [06:29] hey i installed drupal...though it apperas to be installed in the repository..still i can't find itin my applications list [06:29] svensko_laptop: [06:29] which hard drive would be best for smb server IDE or SATA? [06:29] davenull: i am interested in completely existing X [06:30] chyea: ok, never mind, i guess you got it figured out [06:30] i am attempting to use Xorg -configure to write a new xorg.conf to carry over to a different OS [06:30] onetinsoldier: i only have vim-tiny, and vim-common. will vim-runtime fix this? [06:30] i don't want to have to go through the effort of an install and all [06:30] svensko_laptop: Do that, then 'killall gnome && sudo killall gdm [06:31] svensko_laptop: No guarantees though, but since it is the live CD, no biggie. [06:31] gnome: no process killed [06:31] svensko_laptop: Hmmm... [06:31] is it possible to configure an xorg.conf while inside of X? [06:31] please? I've spend over 10 hours just trying to get the internet to work:( [06:31] do you see what i'm trying to do? [06:31] hi anibody know eeebuntu irc? [06:31] onetinsoldier, davenull: installing vim-runtime did not enable syntax highlighting. [06:31] hey i installed drupal...though it apperas to be installed in the repository..still i can't find itin my applications list [06:31] chyea: What buntu version? [06:32] DarkKnight: Drupal is accesable from the web browser, it is a php cms, not an application. [06:32] eeebuntu :) [06:32] is there a program for an ipod [06:33] Hello :) [06:33] found the location! apparently it's in /var/log [06:33] davenull: hardy-something. i don't recall the exact version number - it was several months ago that i installed it. [06:33] can anyone help me pick out a new linux distro for this computer here are the stats [06:33] Sysinfo for 'Hendershot-desktop': Linux 2.6.27-7-generic running KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), CPU: VIASamuel2 at 700 MHz (1403 bogomips), HD: 2/11GB, RAM: 362/367MB, 118 proc's, 16.24h up [06:33] i removed /tmp/.X0-lock, then Xorg -configure and it gave me an error saying it could not overwrite /var/log/xorg.0.log [06:34] have anybody tried to set up network on VirtulaBox 2.1? I need to give internet access to guest using host interfase as a bridge [06:34] chyea: ok... then try, vim-full [06:34] davenull; i have seen some people use drupal..and its easy to use them....so how do i access them from the browser [06:34] hendershot: puppylinux is pretty fast [06:34] 90 MB, loads directly into RAM [06:34] minimal set up, high ease of use [06:34] not the prettiest thing though [06:34] DarkKnight: It is like a website. http://localhost/drupal/ [06:35] svensko_laptop: thank you,,, i was hoping that it like looks nice [06:35] chyea: yo do know that after you start vim you have to enter a 'vim command' to enable syntax highlighting.. correct? [06:35] you* [06:35] is there anything that would look niec prefreably something like mac [06:35] you can't have 700 mhz, 300 mbs of ram, and a nice looking OS ;) [06:35] chyea: Read this 4 posts down, instructions :) https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+question/6111 [06:36] Baby Steps for installing 3rd party software on Ubuntu 8.10...when you have a moment...I'm a totla beginner...so please be gentle and help me understand :) [06:36] svensko_laptop: my xp looked great [06:36] onetinsoldier: i know. i use vim every day at work, just not on ubuntu. i'm being lazy and not manually compiling. it looks like vim-full should do the trick. [06:36] svensko_laptop: would SUSE look decent [06:36] chyea: ok, cool [06:36] are you worried about looks or speed? [06:36] both === mca is now known as yudha [06:37] i'm sorry but you must make a compromise... [06:37] but mainly speed [06:37] wow, vim-full requires 115MB =( [06:37] i need something that will run like on a old windows 98 computer and i mean old [06:37] onetinsoldier: Also, and entry in .vimrc enables it by default. [06:37] where can i fine tune colors and brightness of screen etc of my laptop in 8.10? [06:37] chyea, You might want vi-nox [06:38] *fine tune [06:38] davenull: true. i set that once a long time ago in the past. [06:38] hendershot: puppylinux CAN look good, if you modify it some [06:38] http://www.puppylinux.org/home/screenshots [06:38] I'm not online with the computer I installed Ubuntu...so online updates are out of the question???? Am I being unrealistic here? [06:38] Jordan_U: what's vi-nox? apt-cache search didn't list anything. [06:39] svensko_laptop: thanks ill look it up what do you think about SUSE [06:39] SUSE will probably run poorly, it's fairly bloated [06:39] I need to install my Nvideea chipset driver disk...but I don't know how to do that within Ubuntu [06:39] with 700 mhz you really don't have a ton of options [06:39] ok so after 7 grueling hours and much help I was advised that my computer boots to ipv6 vs ipv4 and in order for me to get the internet to work properly I have to get ipv4 with dhcp working. after 3 hours of researching I have come to nothing but dead ends is there anyone who can help? please i've been trying to get internet for 10 hours :( i'm currently on another laptop [06:39] ahh [06:39] so does puppy linux have a like how do you say good programs built in [06:40] hi there :) [06:40] hendershot: the best you probably going to be able todo for a compromise is xubuntu [06:40] and merry x-mas [06:40] puppy linux comes with text editors, an excel clone, xine to watch movies with, etc [06:40] so like what im running now [06:40] which is kubuntu [06:40] no... [06:40] KDE = bloat [06:40] chyea, It's vim with no GUI [06:40] huh [06:41] so will it have a irc? [06:41] ilmob: Is this a fresh install? [06:41] it'll run slow, KDE uses a lot of resources [06:41] I hate to say it but i wish ubuntu graphical rendering was as sharp and clear as windows. Could you suggest something guys? [06:41] yes it has IRC [06:41] yah i figured KDE blows balls once i messed with it [06:41] I am on ;acptop compaq 6710b, maybe its a drivers issue [06:41] *laptop [06:41] ilmob: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-how-to-disable-the-ipv6-protocol.html [06:41] does wget work for ftp? [06:41] and what is the media player for puppy linux [06:42] xine [06:42] davenull: yes [06:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xine [06:42] Would a rundown of my computer spex help here? [06:42] thanks svensko_laptop [06:43] ilmob: And did you have an ethernet cable plugged into the computer during the entire install? [06:43] onetinsoldier: i am stupid and this is the first time I have ever used linux [06:43] hendershot: np :) [06:43] i have some problem to launch the game lbreakout 2, my monitor does not appreciate and tell me "out of range" (in full screen). I can't (or i dont know how) make it's execute in windowed version [06:43] i'd like to make by wireless card ip static. How can you do this? [06:43] davenull: no it does not have an ethernet port [06:43] and I need some advice [06:43] alright, I'm creating my RAID 5 array [06:43] and I need some advice [06:43] ilmob: Ok, how are you connecting to the internet? [06:43] what should I set for the --layout option [06:43] ilmob: i've never disbaled ipv6 myself. just trying to give you a web page that shows how [06:43] http://linux.die.net/man/8/mdadm [06:43] aka, parity === Demetrius is now known as Son_of_Demetrius [06:44] svensko_laptop: what would be the best thing i can do for making my grafics look like a windows xp [06:44] Hello again :) [06:44] davenull: I am on a windows machine lol [06:44] hendershot: why is installing windows XP not an option? [06:44] greenfujil : i could be wrong but im pretty sure you can only control that thru your router. [06:44] merry christmas, all...I have a hopefully easy question.... I'm using 8.10 and just want ubuntu to start x and run something. no gdm, no window manager, no nothing except the app I choose. what do I need to change? [06:44] hello Son_of_Demetrius [06:44] ilmob: you can use whatever editor you want, you don't have to use 'vi' [06:45] onetinsoldier: I don't know what your talking about don;t I just type this in terminal? [06:45] line by line [06:45] ?? [06:45] ilmob: No, on the box with the issues? What kind of internet connection does it have, without ethernet, that leaves us with ISDN, tokenring, dial-up, and a few others. [06:45] thx..4 the recognition hendershot :) [06:45] can someone tell me how to play that game in windowed mode (and not full beceause "out of range"-Syndrom) ? [06:45] I have Ubuntu 8.04 [06:45] oh I use a wifi pcmcia adapter [06:45] that works [06:45] yah no problem Son_of_Demetrius [06:45] all I need to know how to do is get ipv4 working [06:45] alternatively, I could start up in regular ol' text mode... [06:46] garrett88: on windows I would set the tcp/ip to have an ip address set, i.e. 192.168.1.5, then in my router I could set up port forwarding. Currently the wireless connects randomly to any ip within 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253. I'd like to set it.

[06:49] shavin, What do you mean by "graphical rendering?\"?

[06:51] hendershot: sorry, but i don't know how to help much with that old system you have. i'm too used to having a powerful enough system to do whatever i wish. as i already suggested, xubuntu [06:51] well, the thing is that i'm tryin to install linux on my iphone, and well.. it can't do it.. [06:51] paste.ubuntu.com [06:52] peon: i'm so newbee that i dont know if it's have a command option (i dont know where the game is installed) [06:52] ilmob: Can you give me the url, there are a few thousand entries on there.

[06:54] wwww [06:54] Jordan_U: i don't want to write one by hand and puppylinux is no cooperating with my monitor [06:54] Lillaka: probably means Ubuntu took a too high refresh rate for your monitor [06:54] i was hoping to steal the ubuntu xorg.conf to copy into puppylinux to get the monitor working correctly [06:54] hag hanukkah same-ach [06:54] ilmob: Run ping 192.168.0.135. [06:54] Lillaka: try run it from command line (terminal). lbreakout --help [06:54] greenfuji1: i mainly like how it looks like im on the puppylinux website and theres a vista look alike on ther i really like that.... but im thinking about just going with puppy linux and stuff like that ..

[06:55] svensko_laptop: hi. i might be able to help [06:55] please do tell :) [06:55] Lillaka yes you can [06:56] ilmob: If you look at wlan0, you have a valid ipv4 address, wifi0 is a little trick atheros wifi cards use to make sub-adapters, ignore that on. [06:56] svensko_laptop: are you running ubuntu intrpid 8.10? is you current xorg.conf file pretty much empty right now? [06:56] hendershot: browse around for themes that you like. You may not need to change distributions just install the packages, just make an informed choice. like I am finding it, it will not be as easy as windows first up, but i like the change [06:56] yes and yes [06:56] davenull: I assigned the ipaddress [06:56] svensko_laptop, Ubuntu just lets X configure almost everything on the fly, you might try running a liveCD of an older version of Ubuntu ( 6.06 is still supported ) which did do a lot of configuration in the Xorg.conf if you think that it will do a better job than puppy linux [06:56] i want one as it would be in archlinux or something similar [06:56] svensko_laptop: please precede any messages directed at me with my nick, ok? [06:56] well someone just told me what to do before I went off and shot myself [06:56] lol [06:56] onetinsoldier: sure [06:57] svensko_laptop: ok, thank you [06:57] peon: it's the same result but i see now in the termin where the game is installed (maybe there is a config data i can change) i will look [06:57] ilmob: Un-assign that, then run ifconfig wlan0 down && ifconfig wlan0 up. [06:57] i have no sound in ubuntu 8.10 [06:57] how do I unassign it?\ [06:57] svensko_laptop: i will give you instruction to follow in a just a moment [06:57] onetinsoldier: thank you [06:57] ilmob: How did you assign it?

[06:58] 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) [06:58] Silly question...how can I get my hands on an insruction manual for Ubunt 8.10...then I'll leave you all in peace:) [06:58] ilmob: Can you run 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' and paste me the output? [06:59] 6) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old 7) sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 8) now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d start [06:59] Son_of_Demetrius: The Ubuntu forums, that is the manual, also google ubuntu geek/ [06:59] hendershot: ultimate edition 2.0 gamers [06:59] Lillaka: personal config data ussualy in your home hidden directory. like .lbreakout_config or something like that you can modify it's content or you can just remove it [06:59] i'm not good at this [06:59] svensko_laptop: example --> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [07:00] greenfuji1: can you help me try to find a package for the kubuntu [07:00] greenfuji1: because i have slow internet :[ [07:00] leeram207: You will be, we all started knowing nothing :) [07:00] ik the aydigy is listed in systen>preferences>sound but not connected and my speaker icon has a red icon over it [07:00] peon: yes the terminal say me that the game is in usr/share/games/lbreakout2 [07:00] davenull: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92639 [07:00] hendershot: I'll have a google [07:01] ilmob: Thanks :) [07:01] No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found i get that error [07:01] sidney: right click speaker icon and see if its muted [07:01] davenull: no thank you [07:01] ilmob: You dont have an entry in that for the interface, that is why it doesnt work. [07:01] good by!!! [07:01] hendershot, greenfuji1 "Ultimate Edition" is a poor hack of a distro, I don't recommend it if you want anything remotely stable or secure [07:01] greenfuji1: thank you very much and also take a look at the puppy linux there like a few things on there that look like vista and xp [07:02] peon: but no config data :( [07:02] ubuntu geek...I'll track that davenull...thank you for replying...but just one very quick agonizing question b4 I bid you all goodnight and sweet dreams...how can I laod my chipset driver cd onto Ubuntu 8.10?

In addition to this my past experience with ubuntu on various machines has been that there has always been some amount of graphical corruption in some form. For example when a window opens, when the window is drawn. Last to last year ubuntu used to hang up when a window was launched. It was... [07:04] ...attributed to some bug with AMD machines plus some motherboard chipset issue too. [07:04] peon: i have tryed to remove definitely the game, but it seems that the "full screen option" stay anywhere (and cause out of range) [07:04] easwar: how about scanning for trojons and spybots how do i do that? [07:04] peon: remove by synaptic [07:05] I have an extrnal Edirol scd...how do I install it? [07:05] T1: you don't need to scan for viruses in linux [07:05] davenull: that command took me to this menu [07:05] T1: www.chkrootkit.org [07:05] where would I type in those lines [07:05] easwar: whsy is that? [07:05] This time around too, when i open firefox there is a corrupted grahic drawn for a moment befiore the full window comes up. its for a second only but it is there [07:05] yeah, that's the best you can do T1 as xorlim said [07:05] sidney: Are you running hardy or interpid, if so, try 'killall pulseaudio && pulse audio' press F2 to get the run box. [07:06] ilmob: Ok, what do you see right now? [07:06] T1: viruses don't affect linux,the ones that do have already been neutralized [07:06] Lillaka: you remove it and then install it again? [07:06] davenull: I'll paste hold on [07:06] the holes that they target,I meant T1 [07:06] peon: yes. one time remove and one time remove definitely (all actions made by synaptic) [07:06] has anyone had any luck with installing wireless drivers for intel 4965agn on ubuntu 8.10?

(in this case how to know what is supported by the monitor) [07:08] davenull...if I connect my usb scd will Ubuntu 8.10 pick it up immediately?...stewpid question here [07:08] is intel 4965agn not supported in 8.10 [07:08] ilmob: That is nano, our friendly text editor, just move with the arrow keys, and type EXACLTY wht I paseted you, then press control+x, and press 'y' to save it. [07:08] peon: ok i try first remove .lgames [07:08] It should, Son_of_Demetrius . [07:09] hendershot: just on here? [07:09] davenull: lines 9&10 you mean? type it in those lines?

I can literally play something in X and hit ctrl-alt-F2 to drop to a terminal, and X is running with the sound app, and the sound starts, and go back to X, and my sound cuts.

[07:40] bye guys [07:40] bye [07:40] hendershot: good night,though it's afternnon here [07:40] seeya guys. hendershot good luck and happy linuxing! [07:40] bye hendershot [07:40] easwar and peon: ok now it works again in windowed mode (no way to configure from software to try other modes) [07:40] and how do I go about mounting the hard drives without specifying -t fstype? Does Ubuntu use anything like automount? [07:40] easwar and peon: thanks very much :) it was helpfull [07:41] easwar: its 2:40 am here :} [07:41] easwar and peon: and... SOLVED ;) [07:41] hendershot: Same here. [07:41] hendershot: better off to bed [07:41] Rakko^: I do not know why the Live CD does not mount the sd* devices automatically. [07:41] actually im not using fglrx at least i dont think i am how do i check [07:41] easwar and peon: nice christmas to you two [07:41] Guest39186: fglrx=restricted driver [07:41] davenull: where are you.. state? [07:42] Lillaka: happy christmas to you too,a similar solution should work for the other games too [07:42] easwar and peon: and if someone whants to pay me another monitor... ;) [07:42] Rakko^: i suppose you could take a look at the following packages --> afuse, autofs [07:42] bullgard4: It is by default, if it were to mount those filesystems, it would expose your system to the possibility of damage, the exact opposite of what a liveCD does. [07:42] <|peon|> Lillaka: yup, now go play with lbearkout! enjoy! :) [07:42] hendershot: KY. [07:42] Lillaka: can't har you/read your posts :P [07:42] davenull...please give me a 'magic' text command lol :) [07:42] *hear [07:42] in my xorg file i have "Radeon" as my driver name [07:42] Happy christmas to all :) [07:42] davenull: indiana :] [07:42] bye bye [07:42] bbye Lillaka [07:42] bye [07:42] thanks, onetinsoldier. so the livecd doesn't have automounting built in? [07:42] Son_of_Demetrius: To do what? [07:42] hendershot: Nice, north or south? [07:43] Rakko^: livecd eh, i suppose not [07:43] easwar: hi! [07:43] onetinsoldier: I guess 8.04+ has fuse built in [07:43] anyone know how to link 2 computers with a usb bridge cord? [07:43] andrew_46: hello [07:43] to install Audacity...it won't recognise the command...the exe file etc [07:44] dadacenul;l : north [07:44] onetinsoldier, bullgard4: this is weird! -- when I ran gparted on /dev/sda, it mounted all the partitions of sda under /media [07:44] Son_of_Demetrius: sudo apt-get install audacity, that is how to install it. [07:44] sudo apt-get...and then how do I type the filenname? [07:44] how do I give only one user SSH access and force key file use? [07:44] Rakko^: Ubuntu is using its own outomounting mechanism. It deviates from Debian's. It is in constant development. I do not know all details. Ubuntu's automount is not quite clear to me. The aim is to make automounting as easy as possible to a neophyte. But Ubuntu's documentation is lacking in pace. (At least that is my impression.) [07:44] so what is the open source driver for my card then and how do i get it or install it? [07:44] Rakko^: That is by default. [07:44] the how to is not helpful [07:44] is that behavior built into gparted? or did I do something else to trigger it? [07:44] any idea how come my synaptics touch pad wont do the two finger tap as a middle click ? [07:44] Hi all. I have an Intrepid system, on which I have the openjdk-6-jdk package installed. I do not have a JAVA_HOME configured, however. 1) What should JAVA_HOME be set to for that JDK? 2) Should I switch to sun-java6-jdk instead, since that's the standard and is now open source-friendly? [07:44] davenull: north [07:45] davenull: k rebooted heh [07:45] Rakko^: /media is Ubuntu's preferred directory for this purpose. [07:45] bullgard4, ok, thanks for the info. I have never used automounting in Debian either... === Guest_915 is now known as ccnix [07:45] hendershot: I see, I am in Louisville. [07:45] Rakko^: hmmm, ok [07:45] tthorpe: better create a thread,coz it's a jungle here [07:45] ilmob: Ok, run ifconfig and paste me the output. === Svenstar0 is now known as Svenstaro === quentusrex23 is now known as quentusrex [07:45] ooo louisville? that's awesome. likely much warmer than where I am lol [07:46] Son_of_Demetrius: sudo apt-get install audacity, that is how to install it....I tried that davenull...and it said...'can't load package'? [07:46] I'm setting this thing up as a christmas present... [07:46] but I see your point [07:46] davenull : fortwayne [07:46] Has anyone successfully played a blueray disc with no region code on ubuntu? [07:46] Son_of_Demetrius: If that doesnt work, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu. [07:46] hendershot: Been there a few times.

[07:47] ok, good thing about the hard drives [07:47] davenull : yah man i hate gary it smells BAD! [07:47] hendershot: Yes it does, and makes me feel like I am going to get shot... [07:47] davenull: I can'tr the linux machine is no longer connected to the internet and I cannot get it back [07:47] slytherin: hi,and no [07:48] can't paste [07:48] what do you need to see? [07:48] i can type it manually I have no toher choice [07:48] easwar: what do you mean by 'no'. "I tried and did not succeed"? [07:48] now I have another question. years ago, I ran the audio out from my stereo into my sound card's line in. when I turned up the volume on a certain source in aumix, the sound from the stereo would play right through the computer speakers (without me running any software to play it). I don't remember which volume I had to set to do that. Does anyone know? [07:48] davenull : yah me too.. well dude i have to get some sleep sorry man. [07:48] ilmob: Wait, you were pasting *from* the linux machine, the one without working internet? [07:48] slytherin: no,I have never had a bluray disk,nor a reader,so i didn't try [07:48] hendershot: Night man. [07:48] Please bear with me easwar...but the pc I'm working on is not online...so updates are not possible...is that what you mean by update (an online update?) [07:49] ilmob: how come you can't copy and paste? [07:49] davenull: when i assigned an ip or rather when someone told me what to do after 7 hours of crying it worked but with an [07:49] No Java gurus tonight, eh? [07:49] unsecure network [07:49] davenull : nite to you too dude [07:49] ah,well then Son_of_Demetrius ,you need to get to a PC which has a net connection,no use of following the link davenull gave you and the other commands if you have no net === Rakko^ is now known as Rakko [07:49] ilmob: your on a different computer i take it [07:49] does anyone know why any attempt to run iwpriv results in "no private ioctls"? [07:49] and a\nd I need to just get an IP [07:49] davenull : and merry f'ing christmas [07:49] yes [07:50] ilmob: Ok, then you had working internet, all you need to do is reconnect to your network. [07:50] that didn't work [07:50] si I can't install software of any kind without an internet connection? [07:50] because apparently i don;t stay home [07:51] Son_of_Demetrius: unlees you have an Ubuntu DVD [07:51] like I need to seek a network and connectg without any hassle [07:51] *unless [07:51] because when I go to china, or australia [07:51] can someone help me, i need to open something in terminal on startup but the script i need to open, just opens terminal doesnt display anything and exits terminal, anyone help? [07:51] I need to be able to go a hostel and just connect [07:51] no assigning ips I do not know how in linux it has to be so that I browns connecty [07:51] Son_of_Demetrius: you're on the internet now? right? other computer is not? where is the other computer? [07:52] i'm beginning to thing that linux is a disaster and I should have listened to everyone who warned me against it [07:52] ilmob: Just do a clean install, and reinstall the drivers, that will fix it, you just had some messed up settings, and then try to connect to an unsecured network, I bet you it will work. [07:52] I can't I do not know how [07:52] someone installed it for me [07:52] ah, onetinsoldier ,I see your line of thinking [07:52] I need someone to help me get the settings right [07:52] easwar: ok, cool... hehe. what is it? [07:52] Did anybody here try ext4 yet? [07:52] ilmob: No, you were typing your WEP key in wrong, that is why you couldnt get online. [07:52] onetinsoldier: Ubuntu package search,isn't it? [07:52] i cant update ubuntu 8.10 I get this error >dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[07:54] I work on my pc for video and auditing stuff at my Mom's house...she is not online [07:54] easwar: not sure i know exactly what you mean. but my line of thinking is to use pakages.ubuntu.com... d/l to usb stick qand transfer over and install using 'dpkg -i' command [07:54] hi, [07:54] it's 3am here, i've been working on this for 12 hours [07:54] onetinsoldier: that is Ubuntu package search [07:54] please [07:54] ilmob: And that is the default for Ubuntu, no settings changes are needed, just put the CD in the drive, boot off of it, and click install on the desktop, you will have internet in 20 minutes. [07:54] I can't boot off it [07:54] @easwar...don't laugh ok?...Win98 [07:54] I don't have the cd [07:54] ilmob: Why not, you had to have done so to install it. [07:54] easwar: ok, yep. you got it then [07:54] and I have a vaio pcg c1vp [07:54] the install is not easy [07:55] Son_of_Demetrius: I'm not laughing,go to packages.ubuntu.com [07:55] I didn't install it my friend did [07:55] because installing on a pcgc1vp is not easy [07:55] davenull: she didn't install it.she said some friend in china did it [07:55] ilmob: I have one too, the install takes 30 minutes, you just click next a few times. [07:55] I'll try that easwar...tx again :) [07:55] Son_of_Demetrius: search for audacity,and download the packages which are shown [07:55] apparently that's not what you do I tried installing ubuntu and it wouldn't install before [07:55] he went into this whole text based thing [07:56] I don't know how to do all that [07:56] ok...I'm a very slow learner...but I try to get there [07:56] seriously I'm in tears please [07:56] ilmob: You do not have to, they did the alternate installer. [07:56] hi how can i mount .iso file in ubuntu 8.10 [07:56] Son_of_Demetrius: transfer to flash drive,take it over to Mom's house,then run dpkg -i on them [07:56] I don't have a CD or a way to get one overnight though [07:56] and I need it tomorrow [07:56] I had no idea it would take 12 hours of hell [07:56] ilmob: Just go to Ubuntu.com, and download the image, if you have a burner. [07:56] I don't [07:57] or a cd [07:57] sudu is the command for superuser? [07:57] and I'm telling you when we didn't use the alternate installer it did NOT work [07:57] kishore: sudo mount -t /dev/loop0 or something,google will throw up good results [07:57] we tried and it failed [07:57] sidney: sudo,yes [07:57] Hmmm....

[08:25] I'm literally in tears [08:25] Son_of_Demetrius: i don't know that anything's wrong. what are you trying to do? if it's just update your system, then do... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [08:25] I have been trying to get basic internet for 13.5 hours === easwar|away is now known as easwar [08:26] I just want to be told what to do end to end i'm so upset exhausted and I feel a bit lied to because this was supposed to be totally easy [08:26] hi , any advice for firewall !! [08:26] onetinsoldier: Son_of_Demetrius doesn't have net at the box he wants to install audacity to [08:26] i wont to use IPtable [08:26] saler: What about it? [08:26] Son_of_Demetrius: if you get the same response... '0 upgraded 0 installed etc... then your system is fully up to date === blaerth is now known as segelflugzeugfuh [08:27] how do i open up a file browser with root permission [08:27] ilmob: sudo dpkg-reconfigure netbase [08:27] saler: firestarter [08:27] can i depend on |IPtable [08:27] and how does it decide I no longer own folders I created in the first place? [08:27] I just want to install some programs...I don't know how to with the sudo command line... [08:27] easwar: are you at the system with a package you want to install? a .deb package? [08:27] i watn to copy some files in .fonts [08:27] <|peon|> aka: try google linux [08:27] easwar: strike that [08:27] ilmob: That should do it. [08:27] Son_of_Demetrius: are you at the system with a package you want to install? a .deb package? [08:27] PokerFacePenguin, is it better than IPtable === segelflugzeugfuh is now known as smashchristroger [08:28] saler: it interfaces with iptables [08:28] onetinsoldier: ?? [08:28] it didn't do anything [08:28] ilmob: Try to connect :) [08:28] PokerFacePenguin, THx [08:28] Son_of_Demetrius: i686 implies i386,you need the i386 packages [08:28] how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? [08:28] All of Ubuntu's help files for Wireless seem to point to an application called Network Manager. Synaptic says I have it installed, but I can't find it. It's not where it should be, in System > Admin > Network Manager. I have Network Configurations and Network Tools, but I can't find this thing for the life of me. I can't add it to the menu either, I just can't find it! [08:28] Son_of_Demetrius: go to the directory containing the .deb package you want to install. then do --> sudo dpkg -i [08:28] Programs have an executable file...shouldn't they open automatically?...sorry onetinsoldier...what's a deb package...patience please for a very slow learner :) [08:29] same issue [08:29] Canaen: check the upper right corner for a symbol with 2 computers [08:29] how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? [08:29] before when I went to nm=applet it would list all available networks [08:29] nm-applet [08:29] Slart: it's there, but it doesn't do anything [08:29] Son_of_Demetrius: Have you downloaded the packages?? [08:29] noe I get nothing [08:29] !repeat | shiMMer [08:29] shiMMer: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [08:29] Son_of_Demetrius: what are you trying to do? [08:29] easwer: i am not having dvd drive in my computer, having debian fifes in dvd. how can i add index file in synaptic package manager, vth out dvd drive? [08:29] Canaen, run nm-applet [08:29] Canaen: right-clicking on it doesn't work? [08:29] Canaen: or left-clicking for that matter? [08:29] kishore: please google search for what I told you [08:30] Slart - it works, it doesn't give me the screens I'm supposed to get [08:30] how do I reset file & folder permissions when it says I don't own them? [08:30] <|peon|> ilmob: that's wierd... [08:30] Canaen: and what screens are you supposed to get? [08:30] ronhalfdanr, sudo [08:30] ronhalfdanr: Use the chmod command [08:30] ronhalfdanr: become the owner [08:31] hyperb0lix: ronhalfdanr doesn't own the file,so chmod will come back with permission denied [08:31] ronhalfdanr: sudo chown then sudo chmod. man chmod and man chown for more documentation goodness [08:31] Sorry guys...I'm so confused...I need to download packages right?...can I download them here on this pc...save them to disk...and install them on my Mom's pc? [08:31] Son_of_Demetrius: yes [08:31] Son_of_Demetrius: yes,but have you downloaded them yet? [08:31] !.deb [08:31] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [08:31] Slart - it has no options for wireless when I left-click. When I right-click, I'm suposed to be able to setup a new wireless connection, enter a network key and hit connect. But I don't get a spot to enter a network key, or a button to click connect. Instead it just opens a Network Connections screen to edit already-existing connections [08:31] easwar: Which is precisely why both our comments work when combined [08:31] what's driving me nuts is A-I created the folder, B- the permissions were correct, C-yesterday's update hosed it all up [08:31] anyone wanna trade shells plz pm me [08:32] Where? How? please give me the link...thank you :) [08:32] Son_of_Demetrius: packages.ubuntu.com [08:32] hyperb0lix: telepathy?? [08:32] so telling me chmod chown doesn't tell me a whole lot [08:32] easwar: :P === N3XT is now known as PrO|iNK [08:32] ilmob: Did you restart your computer? [08:32] deleted the two lines also [08:33] thx so much guys...I'll check back in with you again...good night and may your Christmases be bright :) [08:33] ronhalfdanr: sudo chown : /path/to/file [08:33] Happy holidays, everyone! :) [08:33] Canaen: hmm... let me start up my laptop.. there's no wireless on my desktop so I don't get those options [08:33] no i simply deleted the lines you told me to add [08:33] nitey-nite :) [08:33] ronhalfdanr: then change the permissions as you wish [08:33] Slart - thank you!!! [08:33] any1 cant answer me?/ [08:33] ilmob: The reason you dont see networks is because your wifi card froze, a restart will fix that. [08:34] so DRV7_VOL1/foldername? [08:34] how can i install metasploit framework??what to sudo? [08:34] shiMMer: just repeat the question every 5 minutes or so if you don't get an answer [08:34] shiMMer: Why? [08:34] shiMMer: I hope you're testing your own boxes [08:34] ronhalfdanr: this stuff is on a dvd? [08:34] davenull: no, I couldn't see anything went in deleted the lines you told me to add before and all of a sudden it worked so those lines broke it [08:34] shiMMer: Do you know how to use that? [08:34] ronhalfdanr: more likely /media/DRV_VOL1/foldername [08:34] i need to learn [08:34] ilmob: That is normal, just restart. [08:34] <|peon|> shiMMer: have you tried the manual? [08:35] |peon| +1 [08:35] but I still can't just use that assigned ip because if I go to a hostel in china that ip might not work [08:35] shiMMer: Do you know how to use apt or synaptic? [08:35] i try make,sudo make.not work [08:35] shiMMer: You shouldn't need to compile it: it's Ruby [08:35] <|peon|> easwar: ? [08:35] seconding you |peon| [08:35] ilmob: Dont worry, just restart, the last command I gave you foxed your settings, just restart. [08:35] how can i run t then? [08:35] about trying the manual [08:36] no need to install? [08:36] no onetinsoldier it's a 1TB drive [08:36] shiMMer: No, no need to install [08:36] ronhalfdanr: ok, roger [08:36] ok [08:36] and I get no such file or directory [08:36] it's still booting [08:36] shiMMer: Make sure you're root and run one of the msf* programs; msfconsole is a good start [08:36] <|peon|> easwar: i dont know what you mean [08:36] why is it half the updates screwup my previously set permissions? [08:36] ronhalfdanr: you will have to put the proper path [08:37] <|peon|> easwar: oh, i see. lol [08:37] |peon|: I seconded you telling shiMMer about reading the manual [08:37] I think I did easwar [08:37] unless there's stuff in front of /media [08:37] msf,msfconsole=not found [08:37] ronhalfdanr: what do you want to change the permisssions for? [08:37] shiMMer: If you're doing something illegitimate, then it was a mistake to help you [08:37] shiMMer: You need to install metasploit then. [08:38] i didnt get my answer for installing metasploit framework :( [08:38] oh just the basics like being able to write to a folder I created and have been writing to for weeks until the latest update [08:38] shiMMer: Metasploit isn't supported by Ubuntu, you're best off asking in their support channels [08:38] * dr_willis dosent even know what MetaSploit is. [08:39] that what i need..IT NOT SUPPORT [08:39] Canaen: ok.. when you left click on the network manager, you don't see some wireless networks? [08:39] dr_willis: Script kiddie's wet dream [08:39] nope [08:39] hyperb0lix, thats what i was 'guessing' but dident know. :) [08:39] list of wireless networks [08:39] shiMMer: You need to ask the metasploit people, not here. Metasplot isn't in Ubuntu [08:39] slant- but I'm right underneath my router [08:39] dr_willis: It's an exploit framework; it's useful for writing exploits... or using the prepackaged ones aimlessly [08:39] I imagine it has a homepage/forum/docs :) [08:39] Hello - can any one help me with DI-524? - the D-Link Wi-Fi router? ;] [08:39] ups === Guard^ is now known as Makmmr [08:39] ronhalfdanr: no sarcasm please.better give an idea where this folder is located [08:40] shiMMer: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Ubuntu_Package_Installation_and_Updates Read that, that is all you need to know. [08:40] shiMMer: no paid support here,if you know what I mean [08:40] Is there any way to test if my wireless driver is working or not? [08:40] Canaen: hmm.. and if you select "create new wireless connection" [08:40] Err, blindly* [08:40] shiMMer: can't complain about non-support [08:40] Canaen: and select a security option... you don't get a "password" box? [08:40] Actually, it can be useful to pentesters, I guess... but it certainly makes skiddies' jobs easier [08:40] DRV7_VOL1/WWI camo done [08:41] slart - there's no create new under the left click. The closest is to right-click, and add a connection under wireless. But still no connect button, and it never does [08:41] slart - my network is open [08:41] Hey guys, when I ssh to my linux box then run a python script and close the ssh connection it stops running the script. how can i get it to run it after i close the connection [08:41] 1TB drive, no partitions [08:41] strictly data storage drive [08:41] Canaen: Can you just click on your network name? [08:41] Canaen: what version of ubuntu are you running? [08:41] 8.10, intrepid ibex [08:42] ok i seem to have inernet again [08:42] on the linux laptop [08:42] Canaen: There is no connect button, just click on the name of the network. [08:42] ilmob: :) [08:42] davenull - nope. Ubuntu doesn't seem to think it exists, even though added it in manually [08:42] so then how do we get wpa and all that? [08:42] will it just work? [08:42] Canaen: hmm.. you're sure your wireless network card is working alright? [08:43] ilmob: Yes, it should just work with NetworkManager [08:43] ilmob: Go get some sleep, you are done, setup your router for wpa, everything else is ready for it on the laptop. [08:43] andrewfree: use screen [08:43] slart - it was right before I switched to ubuntu. I was running XP. How would I tell if it's not? [08:43] I'm just going to try befpre I go just in case I'll sleep on the plane [08:43] basileus: what [08:44] ilmob: Did you get my PM? [08:44] and of course it won't let me create new folders or rename old ones [08:44] Canaen: I'm not really sure.. since I haven't been messing with wireless that much.. on my laptop it just worked out of the box.. guess I'm lucky [08:44] why is it every other updates screws this basic function and what I have already setup how I want it up? [08:44] ilmob/davenull: what was wrong? (I had him up on a static IP?) [08:44] thanks anyways. I'm running the hardware test thing. I'll try loading windows drivers I think if I can't get the linux ones to work. [08:45] her [08:45] andrewfree: to keep your script running after disconnection use screen [08:45] 2246B/s=speed downloading acroread :( [08:45] lol [08:45] basileus: Like monitor screen? I dont have one. I do it all via command line [08:45] Hello , i got D-Link DI-524 Router , setted up "DMZ(Demilitarized Zone)" seems that every thing work fine , all can access my PC EXCEPT my friend from the very same isp.. but other's from the very same isp can even tho the first xxx.xxx.xxx are same [08:46] well that was more than half a day of feeling mentally challenged [08:46] <|peon|> Canaen: is there a wireless network around? [08:46] lol [08:46] it's stupid things like updates hosing already set permissions that make people go back to windows [08:46] ilmob: what was wrong? [08:46] i think it's ok now [08:46] andrewfree: no screen u need is a program =) [08:46] ronhalfdanr: I know exactly what you mean :/ [08:46] and also i cannot ping him - while he can ping me [08:46] basileus: oh found it :P [08:47] Zygot: Had to run a dpkg reconfigure on netbase, and reboot :) [08:47] basic operating system keeps "breaking" when they update it [08:47] Makmmr, Sounds like his machine may be not responjding to pings. I would suggest telling the channel more info - like How is he trying to access your machine. SSH? Ftp? [08:47] Wow, OK, easy enough. [08:48] I'd really much rather be getting work done than fixing stupid problems [08:48] Makmmr, also you may want to start up a 'notes' web page/pastebin site. with information from ping tests and ip# and so forth. this can get hard to trouble shoot at times. [08:48] dr_willis radmin, http, ultravnc - i had reinstall windowsxp same as he did just this morning - firewall is off except the di-524 , but all rest can access except him [08:48] andrewfree: make sure u install it on your remote machine ) [08:48] basileus: already installed [08:48] i want to use wget to download oo3, but the link is to a *.php, how can i do [08:48] dr_willis my web atm is just empty index.html - http://mmr.sytes.net [08:49] wartalker: Try to locate the exact download link first [08:49] and I thought only Adobe crap screwed with your filesystem [08:49] ronhalfdanr: What changes have you made to your file/folder permissions? And what exactly went wrong? It's generally best to ask questions instead of complaining, as the latter won't fix anything. [08:49] Makmmr, have him try ssh if possible. its a similer service to see the information on connections and stuff then vnc. It may be the isp is blocking stuff.. it will take some testing to track down. You could try hooking the pc directly to the Isp, with no router to prove its not the router doing somthing. [08:49] hyperb0lix:http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0 [08:50] I have made NO changes to my permissions [08:50] hyperb0lix: how i locate this link [08:50] Hi, someone knows about host redirection..no-ip.org when i put my wan adress http://70.83.166.13:8000/ i can see the page & if i put my no-ip, ti gives me an error http://qcjn.no-ip.org:8000/ and in my no-ip accout it's there with the right wan adress ??? [08:50] ronhalfdanr, perhaps its time to resummarize the original problem to the channel. Ive totally lost what the actual problem is or was. But I do have a short attention span Today.. Too much EggNog. === juro is now known as Guest89294 [08:51] wartalker: Yeah, it'd be nice if exact links to downloads were available, but I think it's load balancing to various mirrors [08:51] dr_willis when i hook directly all worked fine & i could ping him & as well he could access my pc via radmin,vnc - but the thing is that other's also from my isp with very same ip except the least number can access while my router is on, but he cannot [08:51] does anyone know of any good tablet utilities for ubuntu 8.04 ie convert writing into text? [08:51] Greetings. [08:51] dr_willis: the problem is as usual the latest update changed most of my permissions [08:51] hi and merry xmas. what is the best/easiest way to move an existing Ubuntu (8.10) install from a single harddrive to a raid 1 enabled pair? [08:51] hyperb0lix: if i use wget to this link, it download a .php file [08:51] and now the system won't let change them back because it says I don't own the folder [08:51] wartalker: Yep [08:52] hyperb0lix: i want download the oo3 file [08:52] chown does not work either [08:52] Anybody here use worldwind ? it does not see to do much else than download here by me. [08:52] dr_willis and as well i cannot even ping he's machine while my router is on it's something like he's in black list or something at my DI-524 , but i never heard he got one & if even got then it wouldnt be long term black list [08:52] :\ [08:53] Ok, so new problem: I've just changed my wireless driver, and now when I left-click on network manager, wireless networks show up as an option. The catch - it also says that Wireless is disabled. How would I enable wireless networking? [08:53] Anybody here use worldwind ? it does not seem* to do much else than download here by me. [08:53] wartalker: See, it randomizes or load balances the mirrors, so you'd have to pick a mirror and go from there [08:53] <|peon|> wartalker: http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/OpenOffice/stable/3.0.0/OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz [08:53] :\ [08:53] ronhalfdanr, perhaps a log of what commands you are trying and doing may helop the channel in diagoosing what it is going on. and help in filing a bug repport. [08:53] [08:53] wartalker: |peon| has found a mirror hosting the tarball [08:53] |peon|: :) [08:53] sudo chown ron:ron /media/DRV7_VOL1/WWI camo done [08:53] Makmmr, sounds almost like his machine may be some how blocking you. [08:54] Merry Christmas guys!!!!! [08:54] |peon|: thanks [08:54] <|peon|> yup [08:54] dr_willis that what i was thinking from the farily begining , but this morning he did reinstall winxp so it couldnt be blocking me any more... [08:54] hyperb0lix: thanks [08:54] davenull: Same to you :) [08:54] and the problem happens every second or third update [08:54] wartalker: np [08:54] Christmas is mix of various religions. [08:54] ronhalfdanr: you must take care of the spaces [08:54] Makmmr, he may want to turn off the xp wall for testing. [08:54] Makmmr, err firewall [08:54] <|peon|> wartalker: welcome [08:54] which spaces Slart? [08:55] ronhalfdanr: /media/DRV7_VOL1/WWI\ camo\ done [08:55] whats the SSH group for? [08:55] |peon|: how do you find the link [08:55] ronhalfdanr: if you dont do that it will first try to change the file WWI, then the file camo, then the file done.. neither exists so it fails.. [08:55] infinity_, i think for people to ssh in or out.. but ive never noticed it affecting anything. so it may be for somthing specific to a specific feature of ssh.. [08:55] wartalker: You can just keep refreshing the link you gave me, and it'll give you the mirrors it's randomizing/load balancing to [08:55] The 25 of December is a date related to the Sun God Religion. Jesus was not born then. The tree comes form some other religion thought of as pagan in the Bible. [08:56] dr_willis it's is off.. and without router i could ping him - is there any thing like "lan cards who hate routers? rofl" because when i run w/o router he can access , but with cannot while all rest can lol [08:56] wartalker: Then you can simply visit the mirror via FTP or HTTP and grab the download [08:56] Its a mix. [08:56] confused. [08:56] :) [08:56] !ot [08:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:56] <|peon|> wartalker: use firefox downthemall to see it :) [08:56] dr_willis i been on this sh.. least 4 day's i already don't know what to think nor what to try out [08:56] Unknown0BC: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [08:56] How do I enable wireless? [08:56] dr_willis: i searched for files belonging to group "ssh" ..nothing [08:56] Makmmr, no idea on that. Ive not really wanted to let people in through my router. Could be the router has some odd DMZ settings going on. [08:56] No just responding to someone saying merry christmas. [08:56] dr_willis: so maybe its for authgroup in sshd_config [08:56] |peon|: Never used that before :-X [08:57] Merry Christmas! [08:57] Then he should also go say that on #ubuntu-offtopic [08:57] infinity_, perhaps. A check of the forums may give better info. Or perhaps theres a setting in the ssh configs to enable limited access and that would use the groups. [08:57] dr_willis: oops. /usr/bin/ssh-agent is ssh group [08:57] Anyway, anyone here use worldwind ? Got it working properly ? [08:57] :) [08:57] dr_willis i changed the Firmware Version to V2.06Patch08RU last night and still... the very same , actually i am really confused because every one can access except him - and i mean that "every one lol" [08:57] <|peon|> hyperb0lix: it's usefull in case like that :) [08:58] still did nothing usefull Slart [08:58] does anyone know of any good tablet utilities for ubuntu 8.04 ie convert writing into text? [08:58] Makmmr, so he cant even ssh or ftp in or anything eh? [08:58] no i can't - any port - tcp - at all [08:59] guys how do we check glibc library version? [08:59] ronhalfdanr: ok.. can you do this.. first run ls -l (<-- that's a lower case L) on the folder with these files.. then run your command and after that do another ls -l, copy it all to a pastebin and give us the url === Guest89294 is now known as juro [08:59] dr_willis he can ping me while i cannot ping him from my side to he's is totaly dead line.. from he's to mine only ping goes - how that posible i'm not sure , will ask to ftp/ssh [08:59] huh Slart? [08:59] !pastebin | ronhalfdanr [08:59] ronhalfdanr: 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) [08:59] glibc library version.. [08:59] pastebin won't help, the command executed but did nothing === ubuntu is now known as Rakko [09:00] ronhalfdanr: the pastebin will help us see if you do something else wrong.. if the files are strange etc [09:00] what does or where does the -l go? === ccnix is now known as cn-shn [09:01] ronhalfdanr: after ls.. ie you type "ls -l" then press enter.. it will give you a list of the files with permissions and such [09:01] huh? [09:01] dr_willis also the router inside him got "ping" from that also only failure's [09:01] aka "Ping test" [09:01] ronhalfdanr: ok.. you have a terminal open, right? [09:01] yes [09:02] ronhalfdanr: what happens if you type ls and press enter? [09:02] ronhalfdanr: you get a list of files, right? [09:02] yep [09:02] ronhalfdanr: now type ls -l [09:02] ronhalfdanr: see the difference? [09:03] yeah [09:03] hello all, is it possible to setup a ad-hoc connection to the iphone 3g from my laptop(t400, btw it's working beautifully on ubuntu 8.10)? [09:03] and it tells me what? [09:03] all the stuff it pulls up is on the OS drive, not the data drive [09:03] is there an email notification widget for the status bar (thunderbird, 8.10)? [09:03] ronhalfdanr: ls -l will tell you the filenames, owner, size, date it was created, permissions etc [09:04] <|peon|> Mal3ko: try dpkg -l | grep libc [09:04] ronhalfdanr, just for clarification - what filesystem is the datadrive anyway? NTFS? Ext2? ext3? [09:04] NTFS [09:04] ronhalfdanr: ok.. where are these files you want to work with? [09:04] ronhalfdanr, then the permissions must be set by the mountpoint options. NOT the chown or chmod commands.... [09:04] My Wireless is disabled. How would I enable it? [09:04] Canaen: Can you right-click the NetworkManager applet and reenable wireless? [09:05] Slart: , I have an OS drive, a !TB data drive and a mirrored RAID drive, they are on the data drive [09:05] I don't even try to access the mirror [09:05] I can't enable it when I right-click; it won't let me check or uncheck the box, though the box is there. It's "grayed out" [09:05] Canaen: :O I hope your wireless module(s) is/are loaded [09:06] so to check my data drive I'd type ls -l DRV7-VOL1? [09:06] Canaen: Make sure the wifi interface is up with ifconfig? [09:06] my bluetooth not work.i can see my bluetooth LED is on but i can find device to pair with.. [09:06] hyper: I'm new. how would I do that? [09:06] cant* [09:06] ronhalfdanr: ok, try running this "cd /media/DRV7_VOL1/" [09:06] Canaen: Just run ifconfig from the command line and list the interfaces you find [09:06] Canaen: Should be the rightmost column [09:07] cd command not found [09:07] ronhalfdanr: Where are you running it? [09:07] dr_willis also very veird thing is that every one who i got at skype are always online (when they are online) but this friend go offline online like crazy while i am a sure that he is on and i need call him via skype to get him online at my friend list... [09:07] terminal as sudo [09:07] ronhalfdanr: huh?.. you're still in the terminal, right? [09:07] <|peon|> Canaen: what wireless adapter you use? [09:07] ronhalfdanr: right, don't use sudo. [09:07] ronhalfdanr: not sudo [09:07] Makmmr, sounds more and more like its his router/pc with the issues.. [09:07] ok, got the drive [09:08] there's a "local loopback" which I think is code for wireless? the other two are ethernet. [09:08] ronhalfdanr: now try ls -l again [09:08] Canaen: lo is for loopback; one of the Ethernet ones might actually be your wireless [09:08] Canaen: local loopback isn't wireless.. it's .. well.. the loopback interface..=) [09:08] dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2008-12-06 12:22 camo-WWI [09:08] Canaen: eth1? [09:08] the specific problem folder for now [09:08] dr_willis but DI-524 don't have black list right? and every one can access so shouldnt be router + as well i changed Firmware so it's like reinstlal windows - i mean if he got black list it should be delted right away.. . [09:08] yes, eth0 and eth1 [09:09] 0 is ethernet, 1 must be wireless [09:09] ronhalfdanr: that's the folder you want to change? [09:09] Canaen: Can you just run iwconfig now? [09:09] 24 hours ago it was permission to read, write and execute [09:09] <|peon|> not eth* [09:09] d [09:09] Canaen: Err, is wireless *gone*? Or is it simply not working? [09:09] dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2008-12-23 01:53 WWI camo done [09:09] that one [09:09] Makmmr, not sure on that - ive never had a router with a ip# blacklist. May want to google for that specif routers manuals/docs and see if it has some sort of auto-block feature [09:10] ronhalfdanr: ok.. what's your username? [09:10] http://pastebin.com/d38cff160 how do i fix this? [09:10] and 24 hours ago it was owned by ron [09:10] lo, eth1, and pan0 say no wireless extensions. eth1 says IEEE 802.11, no nickname, and Access Point: Not-Associated [09:10] usernname ron [09:10] Slart, i belive he mentioned earlier that this is on a NTFS filesystem also... could be a mount issue [09:10] Canaen: Yep, your wireless is there [09:11] ronhalfdanr: try this "sudo chown ron WWI\ camo\ done" [09:11] Canaen: Yet NetworkManager is graying out your wireless? [09:11] yes [09:11] dr_willis: the drive appears to mount fine, problem is since the last update [09:11] dr_willis i googled my DI-524 as much as i could didn't find any thing like that & as well my friend doesn't have router , just towerpc fresh reinstaled with windows FW off.. - is there any posibility that he's lancard doesn't like routers or something like that ? - iam just out of ideas already and really pissed on this Rofl [09:11] Canaen: You could try a reboot first... or you could manually associate/authenticate with an access point [09:11] dr_willis: mm.. it might have updated the ntfs3g module or something.. [09:11] |peon|: thanks so now how do i upgrade to a newer glibc library? [09:11] Merry Christmas everyone. just wanted to ask advice re partition editor. I partitioned my MSI wind wrong and I wanna redo it. Can I do so via ssh-ing into it? And if so what tool can i use? [09:11] Canaen: We've already established that your wireless interface is there and up, so there shouldn't be a problem associating [09:12] ronhalfdanr: and then try running ls -l again and see if it changed anything [09:12] how would I associate? [09:12] ronhalfdanr, with NTFS the modes and owndership are NOT changed with chown/chmod - it must be mounted properly to allow users to access it fully. becasue ntfs does NOT support the normal linux style ownership/permissions. thats proberly the core of the whole problem [09:12] Canaen: It' [09:12] ronhalfdanr, the permissions dident change.. how it is geting mounted. changed. [09:12] Slart: nope, root still owns everything [09:12] Canaen: It's a little dirty... iwlist eth1 scan... iwconfig eth1 essid ESSID or iwconfig eth1 ap BSSID... [09:12] ronhalfdanr: ok.. let's check the ntfs thingy.. let me check something first [09:13] Slart, or his fstab is incorrect..or its automounting and he needs to run ntfs-config and set it to allow users.. if its getting auto-mounted-by hal. [09:13] dr_willis: the crive mounted just fine [09:13] Canaen: Then you can use wpa_supplicant (eww) if it's WPA... or just go ahead and use dhclient/dhcpcd [09:13] Canaen: Or you can try a reboot first :) [09:13] nm, i fixed it. [09:13] ran iwlist eth1 scan, told me interface doesn't suport scanning [09:13] ronhalfdanr, you are confusing mounting with 'mounting with the proper options for users.' [09:13] Canaen: :O It's not in monitor mode, I hope [09:13] I wouldn't know. Could I check/change that? === nitestrom is now known as daystrom [09:14] <|peon|> Mal3ko: what ubuntu version you use? [09:14] i have a question regarding to the audio of ubuntu [09:14] ronhalfdanr: ok.. we'll start by installing a tool that makes this a little bit easier, it's called ntfs-config [09:14] |peon|: i think 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7 [09:14] Canaen: I would suggest a reboot unless you don't have time and/or don't want to mess with the commands (they can get dirty) [09:14] something in the update screwed it up dr_willis, it happens regularly with updates [09:14] ronhalfdanr: run "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" in a terminal, that will install it [09:14] this time it royally screwed it up [09:15] why when playing sound in firefox, i cant play any mp3? [09:15] please help my bluetopth problem.i can see bluetooth icon at top panel but i cant search any devive.i search with my phone but it found nothing.help me [09:15] kelvin911: Try installing the mplayer plugin for FF [09:15] if i do "killall pulseaudio" in terminal i get problem solved [09:15] <|peon|> Mal3ko: you want to upgrade to? [09:15] it's running Slart [09:15] ronhalfdanr, given you dident even know what 'ls -l' did. excuse me for not taking your 'word' on that statement. You may want to pastebin your 'fstab' file for slart to see also. [09:15] kelvin911: It should be mozilla-mplayer in APT or something [09:15] hi is it possible to change partition information without losing data in them? i partitioned my MSI wind 160gb hd wrong and I seem to be able to access only half of it. [09:15] it happen the same in my desktoop [09:15] dr_willis any way thanks for your time. [09:16] hyper: I'll try a reboot [09:16] i need to completely remove pulseaudio to solve the sound problem [09:16] Canaen: Okay [09:16] thank you [09:16] hi, every time i come out of suspend i no longer get any sound output. this is on ubuntu 8.10 32-bit on a dell inspiron e1505. any hints? [09:16] kelvin911: Remove PulseAudio??? :O [09:16] kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' [09:16] ronhalfdanr: let me know when it's finished [09:16] Makmmr, yea. It really does sound like his router is flakey.. From what ive seen you say. :) go swap routers with him! [09:16] oh gee dr_willis, basic troubleshooting 101, when the only system level change is an update and it repeats problems other updates have caused, pretty good idea where the problem originates [09:16] if i dont remove pulseaudio, i cant have more than one application to play sound [09:16] done Slart [09:16] dr_willis he doesn't have router ^^ only i got that di-524... [09:17] for example if opera is playing youtube audio, icant have sound in vlc or other program like mplayer [09:17] Makmmr, whats that exactly? [09:17] kelvin911: PulseAudio _allows_ you to play more than one sound at the same time [09:17] ronhalfdanr: then run "gksudo ntfs-config" in the terminal.. you should get a window with one or more hard drives listed [09:17] if i play sound in vlc then other applications dont have sound [09:17] dr_willis D-Link DI-524 [09:17] Makmmr, and thas a ? [09:17] if i killall pulseaudio, problem solved [09:17] ы === |peon| is now known as peon|away [09:17] Wireless internet switch [09:17] can anyone tell me how to turn the system beep off in ubuntu, its really annoying in terminal or irc when i press up, down, left, right or backspace or scroll up or down with the mouse too far [09:17] dr_willis Wi-Fi router [09:18] but i don't use it as Wi-Fi [09:18] Makmmr: I got a DI-524 too, whats the problem? [09:18] just as normal router [09:18] ok Slart, got the other drives listed [09:18] hyperb0lix: i have other way around, in my desktop if i have pulseaudio i dont get more than one sound at the same time [09:18] |peon|: yep. cause im having a random freeze issue with an app and i was advised to upgrade the gclib.. [09:18] vpew: system, preferences, sound.. second tab I think.. something like "use system sound" [09:18] ronhalfdanr: is the drive you want listed there? [09:18] vpew: You can also disable the bell in gnome-terminal's prefs [09:18] vpew: But that wouldn't be global [09:18] Leon :) i cant connect to him, while all other people can. Already the 3rd day trying to do something with that. (Connect = for example radmin/vnc/http) [09:18] vpew: ah.. sorry.. it's now "play alert sound" [09:18] no but the mirror and ewxternal backup are [09:18] hey i installed drupal...though it apperas to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list [09:19] kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' [09:19] kelvin911: Listen to davenull [09:19] I assume select drive, click OK and repeat until al drives done? [09:19] Leon i set up DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) , every one can connect to me even from my isp network , when first xxx.xxx.xxx are same , but one of my friedns cannot, he can ping me , but cannot connect to http / vnc / radmin - and i cannot even ping him [09:19] ronhalfdanr: yes [09:19] now back to my netbook. if i killall pulseaudio, problem solved [09:19] ronhalfdanr: but the drive you wanted wasn't there? [09:20] Leon he also are from my isp ip range [09:20] OchenZloy: So you are trying to do port forwaring? [09:20] ok, got them all done [09:20] kelvin911: That is the support library to make flash play nicely with pulseaudio. [09:20] i killall pulseaudio in my dell mini , i can get more than one sound [09:20] vpew [09:20] Canaen: How'd it go? [09:20] Leon i got DMZ on , http://mmr.sytes.net work for you ? for all it work , but for OchenZloy it doesn't [09:20] so what is pulseaudio for? [09:20] kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' do that, and the problem is solved. [09:20] hyper: same problem, no change. [09:20] |peon|: so now..? [09:20] no, i use direct connect, for example: http://mmr.sytes.net - will work for you, for everyone, but not to me (it's his web - currently empty index.htm) [09:20] but how come i killall pulseaudio and i can solve my problem? [09:20] kelvin911: Pulse audio is what runs the sound card on your computer. [09:20] ic [09:20] is pulseaudio necessary? [09:20] Canaen: What wireless driver are you using? [09:20] hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list [09:21] now what? [09:21] but how come without pulseaudio i can still get sound? [09:21] and better? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [09:21] Leon for isp we are at same ip range xxx.xxx.xxx.changing only , but my another neiberhood could connect as well [09:21] Broadcom STA. I was using Broadcom 43xx, and my card is 4328, but Wireless wasn't even an option with that driver, according to network manager [09:21] kelvin911: Flash forces it into alsa mode, one audio channel, if you install that package, it will work correctly. And pulse aduio is auto restarted when you killall it, And yesm it is vital. [09:21] ronhalfdanr: did you see the drive we were working on in that list? [09:22] Leon plus i cannot even ping OchenZloy while all rest can o.O [09:22] OchenZloy: So you are the only one that cannot connect to him? [09:22] nope [09:22] Leon seem's so [09:22] Leon exactly! [09:22] ronhalfdanr: what kind of drive is it? anything special about it? [09:22] Makmmr: Are you from the same ISP? I had that once with a friend too. [09:22] and my patience is burnt.................time for beer & bed [09:22] kelvin911: Does that make sense? [09:22] we already thinking, that there's a something like blacklist in the router. [09:22] Canaen: And your card is fully compatible with STA? [09:22] ronhalfdanr: ok, hope you get it fixed [09:22] Leon yes our ip's are similliar only the least number is changing [09:22] just a standard WD 1TB drive, SATA 2 [09:23] last* [09:23] Makmmr: So you both have the same ISP... [09:23] is different [09:23] hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list [09:23] .. [09:23] Makmmr: Are you still having networking issues? :/ [09:23] yes, we do [09:23] Makmmr: Did you try the whole thing without routers on both sides. If it works that way then you know where to search the problem [09:23] Leon yes , but at the same time also other of my neiberhood with the same isp & same begining xxx.xxx.xxx of ip can connect to me [09:23] yes, it works without router [09:24] Leon he don't have router at all , when i swich off mine then all work fine - i can ping him & he can connect to my pc [09:24] but my friend can't live without it ^^ [09:24] OchenZloy yes i cannot live without router tk i got not one pc at home [09:24] so u r saying after i killall pulseaudio pulseaudio auto restarts itself? [09:24] hyper: STA is what the hardware drivers app told me was another option, besides 43 [09:24] and it works if you plug in the router on OchenZloy's side, but as sooon as you plug the DI-524 it does not work? [09:24] how to enable my bluetooth?? [09:24] hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list [09:25] kelvin911: Yes, that is what I am saying. [09:25] kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' do that, and the problem is solved. [09:25] Canaen: Hmm, I don't have much experience with Broadcom drivers: I try to avoid Broadcom like the plague [09:25] w8w8w8, i don't have a router, Makmmr(my friend) he does. If he plug off the router, then connection is established, if he will turn on it back, then again - dead side [09:25] Leon i didn't try bring router to OchenZloy.. but when i switch it off -all works perfectly for him ,while the router is on only for him doesn't work , but all the rest world wide can connect to my pc , you can test as well Http://mmr.sytes.net it work perfectly fine [09:26] Canaen: Could you pastebin the output of ifconfig and iwconfig? [09:26] but how come when i killall pulseaudio i can play all sound in all programs? [09:26] yea, one sec [09:26] hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list [09:26] both sides, fresh OS, FW off [09:26] HEY ALL [09:26] why does it solve it without install any other additional package?

[09:27] daredevilthere: please.. caps [09:27] Canaen: http://pastebin.ca [09:27] kelvin911: Because, flash forces pulseaudio into single channel mode, because flash is broken, when you kill it, it releases that channel and no, that ONE SINGLE PACKAGE is all you need to fix it. [09:27] HEY HOW TO RENAME REMOVABLE MEDIA WHICH APPEARs ON DESKTOP [09:27] !caps | daredevilthere [09:27] daredevilthere: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:27] Makmmr: So the problem is definetly the router... Is the router the latest firmware? In the older firmwares stuff didnt work. You can check in Tools->Firmware [09:27] ok i m sorry [09:28] Leon last night i did change fm... [09:28] Current Firmware Version: V2.06Patch08RU [09:28] Firmware Date: Wed, May 07 2008 [09:28] daredevilthere, try the logical.. right click, properties ? [09:28] Hyper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92685/ [09:28] daredevilthere: change the label of the drive.. how to do that depends on what filesystem it's using [09:28] Canaen: Thanks [09:28] but before this also didn't work [09:28] daredevilthere: Its a bit complicated, on a mac it's really easy, what type is the filesystem? [09:28] kelvin911: Got it? That is the way the Ubuntu wiki say to fix it, install the package I have given you 6 times, and it is all done. [09:28] daredevilthere, and it will depend on the filesystem as the very patient Slart implied. :) [09:29] * davenull goes to bed. [09:29] but i cant change its label [09:29] hey i installed drupal...though it appears to be installed in the repository..still i can't find it in my applications list..and i dont know how to start working with it [09:29] dr_willis: I figured I would use it all up.. then take my christmas break :) [09:29] * dr_willis gives Slart a CandyCane for being a good patient helper.. :) [09:29] Canaen: Damn, so you can't scan for anything? sudo iwlist eth1 scan? [09:29] Canaen: That's one of the most important things... [09:29] i have renamed my partations in /media directory but they appear as disk1_vol4 on my desktop [09:30] hyper: same result [09:30] Slart, it just seems the more i hang in linux channels - the more i see the fad. 'the less someone knows on a topic. the more they think they are an expert on everythyinhg' type new users mentality.. Heh.... [09:30] Leon as well i didn't find for my router FM on their offical web , i got h/w v.B , but they got only a,c,d ? [09:30] Canaen: Gah, what was the result again? [09:30] Slart, Im seeing this more and more at work also where i work and help others. :) [09:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/92685/ [09:30] i am using wubi with windows xp...why computer ubuntu hangs..?? [09:30] same as iwconfig on pastebin [09:30] Makmmr: Yeah they are difficult with firmware updates, the most recent one is 2.07 [09:31] Leon can you find that 2.07 for b version ? [09:31] Leon i couldnt' [09:31] dr_willis: mm.. that's the cost of popularity I guess [09:31] Canaen: iwlist shouldn't have the same output as iwconfig [09:31] Makmmr: I'll see on the various FTPs I visited, wait... [09:31] daredevilthere: this removable drive.. what kind of file system does it use? ntfs? fat32? [09:32] Leon thanks a lot =) [09:32] Slart, i think the 'user friendly' (failed) design - has basically made people so lazy in using things for basic tasks.. they cant understand or attempt to learn anything more advanced. [09:32] guys..how do upgrade gclib library? [09:32] that dont make sense [09:32] Mal3ko: that can be a dangerous thing to update [09:32] if it will work, then it will be the best merry cristmas present for us we ever did get [09:32] Leon i got mine from http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DI-524/Firmware/Rev.B/ [09:32] I would Like to see some 'set-up-the-ntfs-drives' wizard tool for ubuntu. [09:32] hyper: I made a typo. The output now is "Failed to read scan data: invalid argument" [09:32] dr_willis: well.. ntfs-config comes pretty close [09:32] Mal3ko: oh.. wait... gclib? not glibc? [09:32] christmas [09:33] at other webs i didn't find the B vers at all... [09:33] i restart the netbook, do killall pulseaudio, then open firefox play a video and open mp3 files i can get 2 programs playign sound together [09:33] Makmmr: On ftp.dlink.de there is the 2.07, be sure to use the international not the german version... [09:33] Leon yeah the de one for me would be a pain :D [09:33] i am using wubi with windows xp...why computer ubuntu hangs..?? [09:33] Canaen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92687/ [09:33] Leon be back in a while ;) [09:33] Slart, but its not installed by default.. and its really not 'educating' the users.. i enision a tool that asks the users what they want to do with their drives, allow everyone? just 1 user? external only? ect.. walk them through it. a bit and educate them a bit more.. [09:33] onetinsoldier: yep. gclib. cause im having a random freeze problem with an app and i was advised to upgrade gclib to solve the problem [09:34] Makmmr: Wish you luck :) [09:34] Leon thanks :) [09:34] Mal3ko: what version of 'gclib' do you have right now? [09:34] dr_willis: ah.. I understand.. yes, that would be good [09:34] Slart, seems half the issues are with how the system - 'automounts on the fly' the ntfs drives as they are needed.. vs the 'mount from the fstab' method. (which is what i use) [09:34] <|ntegra|> hey guys I got a problem :: when I play music on xmms ,I then can't play sound on youtube :: is there a way to just reset alsa or give both xmms and firefox access to the sound? I've been having to reboot which sux a bit [09:34] onetinsoldier: im not so sure. maybe 2.8.xx http://paste.ubuntu.com/92683/ [09:34] how do i mount an SD card read/write? [09:35] Slart, and of course we all now know that 'Updates break everything' (some how?) :) [09:35] Hyper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92689/. I dunno why I don't get something similar to your's [09:35] terryx: Did you try the various troubleshooting tips on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [09:35] Leon ftp://ftp.dlink.de/di/di-524/archive/driver_software/ if not secret witch one? i am quite confused they all are updated at 2008.01.23.

[09:35] Canaen: Sorry, one sec [09:36] Canaen: Could you do "lsmod | grep b43" === peon|away is now known as peon [09:36] Slart, perhaps we need a 'Down with Security! let sall ntfs/vfat everything - be accessable by everyone, its My PC!' Option... ? [09:36] Mal3ko: please look carefully at the spelling... this entire time you have said 'gclib' ..i do not see any 'gclib' listed there... now, libc6 might be also known as 'glibc' perhaps [09:36] Canaen: Also, could you resend the pastebin link; I accidentally disconnected [09:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/92689/ [09:36] dr_willis: ouch.. don't say things like that.. you'll give people ideas [09:37] onetinsoldier: woops..typo. it's glibc [09:37] Slart, thats what people expect It seems.. Instant access to system critical files.. and total virus-bullet proofing. :) [09:37] dr_willis: and the cube.. don't forget the cube [09:37] where can i get the newest one? [09:37] Slart, cube is old.. we need a Dodechahedron! [09:38] lsmod gives me a really really long list, grep b43 doesn't seem to do much. It just goes to the next line, but I can't type new commands. perhaps it's waiting? [09:38] Mal3ko: ok, that'svery important. what version of ubuntu are you running? command --> lsb_release -r [09:38] Canaen: If it's >, just Ctrl+C it [09:38] dr_willis: hehe [09:38] Canaen: The whole command is "lsmod | grep b43" [09:38] Canaen: | is just a pipe [09:38] 8.10 [09:39] onetinsoldier: 8.10 [09:39] how to mount my ntfs partition in terminal?? [09:39] Leon ah lol was looking in archive :D sec downloading :D [09:39] peon is already registered...

The module is loaded, the interface is up, it is listed with iwconfig, yet you can't scan anything [09:40] apparently [09:40] Mal3ko: onetinsoldier is right === peon is now known as noep [09:40] Canaen: I'm going to google around; see if others can help you in the meantime [09:41] onetinsoldier: dont worry. i'll do it vm to see how it goes === noep is now known as neuon [09:41] some older forum posts about similar problems mention opening up networking (which is no longer an app, though similar ones are around like network manager), and clicking "enable roaming," or "enable wirelss card" and thingsl ike that. but I don't think I can do those [09:41] Leon Current Firmware Version: V2.07 [09:41] Firmware Date: Tue, Mar 18 2008 [09:41] ups [09:41] Canaen: Yeah, shouldn't have any difference when you're on the command line [09:41] ah [09:41] xD [09:41] :D [09:41] nik smeni balwan === Guard^ is now known as Makymmr [09:42] hello [09:42] on esho online :D [09:42] my system won't send me local mail, how can i correct this?

[09:44] Mal3ko: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/glibc [09:44] onetinsoldier: thanks [09:44] Canaen: What card is this again? [09:44] Mal3ko: you're welcome [09:45] onetinsoldier: and what's this http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libc6 ? [09:45] IntuitiveNipple: Mal3ko> onetinsoldier: yep. gclib. cause im having a random freeze problem with an app and i was advised to upgrade gclib to solve the problem [09:45] Mal3ko: what app causing freeze? [09:45] IntuitiveNipple: he says he's going to do it on a vm to see how it goes [09:45] hyper: BCM4328 [09:45] Makymmr: Then I seriously have no idea. Maybe you can try another router and see if it's still the same, I really don't know, sorry :( [09:45] how to mount ntfs partition?? [09:45] shiMMer: Double click it [09:46] shiMMer, Or make an entry for it in the fstab to automountit at boot. or with special options [09:46] !ntfs [09:46] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [09:46] Leon it's okay, thanks for help - don't think that i will use another router because it work for every one except OchenZloy.. [09:46] anyone awake in here that can help? [09:46] kalvin, lots of people in here. :) [09:46] Canaen: You used the driver given to you by Ubuntu's restricted drivers utility? [09:46] onetinsoldier: how do i make intreped uses sources from this http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/glibc ? [09:46] Mal3ko: this is a web page where you can manually download the .deb of the jaunty libc6 package [09:46] but u need me more, than 2 pcs [09:46] so u have to get another router [09:46] oh..ok [09:47] see you next time.

[09:47] im new to ubuntu and so far everything is fine, but im having trouble streaming movies from my computer to my xbox, im using twonky [09:47] Mal3ko: you might as well just install Jaunty on your vm [09:47] hyper: yea. there was the B43, which was open/free/unrestricted, but that didn't seem to work. So I tried the b STA, which is proprietary, and that at least made wireless show up on network manager [09:48] Canaen: And it suddenly stops working? [09:48] is there any app available which allows me to save a pdf fillable form? [09:48] Canaen: If it's source, you can try recompiling and reinstalling [09:48] anyone familiar w/ streaming to xbox? [09:48] Mal3ko: or install libc6(glibc) from source... if you don't install from source, you will have every type of dependency problem possible. and actually, you might have that same problem even if you install from source [09:48] onetinsoldier: does this glibc need to be installed with libc6 ? [09:49] hyper: I've done it all through the GUI, I'm not quite so sure how to do compiling. My wireless didn't seem to work at all with the other driver, so I tried the other one. It's a step up, in a way, I guess. [09:49] Mal3ko: libc6 = glibc [09:49] Canaen: Well, you could try reinstalling it through the same Ubuntu utility [09:49] gotcha [09:49] Canaen: Unchecking and rechecking it should work [09:50] Mal3ko: it would be VERY interesting to talk to the character that advised you to upgrade glibc [09:50] onetinsoldier, Thanks for that update. Do we know what add the issue is with? Updating the system glibc is a bit over-the-top - output of valgrind or gdb would be the first step to pin-point the issue [09:51] IntuitiveNipple: no, i don't know.all i know is what i've pasted in to you really.. see my last message to him right above [09:51] Mal3ko, Updating glibc without rebuilding *ALL* libraries and applications will likely cause a lot of problems [09:51] how mount ntfs partition using terminal???

I was using adhoc on windows with pdanet, it was very useful and I really miss it ubuntu. thanks. it [09:51] deactivated and reactivated [09:51] shiMMer: man mount [09:52] Mal3ko, What application are you experiencing the issue with? have you posted a bug report, or searched launchpad bugs? [09:52] shiMMer: Ubuntu should ship with the ntfs-3g [09:52] shiMMer: ntfs-3g support [09:52] Canaen: Anything? [09:52] hyperb0lix, afaik it does. [09:53] still disabled [09:53] Canaen: Bah [09:53] humbug [09:53] yeah.but it not auto mount [09:53] shiMMer: Add it to your fstab [09:54] Canaen: I've found some links; they may or may not help [09:54] I'd appreciate 'e [09:54] 'em [09:54] shiMMer, i you just asked 2 different things.. :) either edi the fstab file, and use mount, or use the mount/ntfs-3g command ith proper options and dont edit fstab. [09:54] use mount [09:54] but i need it ato mount on every startup [09:54] Canaen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959451 [09:55] shiMMer: Add it to your /etc/fstab, slap it into your /etc/rc.local, write an init script for it... something [09:55] shiMMer: /dev/sda3 /mnt/data ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [09:56] shiMMer, if it's an internal drive i recommend you edit /etc/fstab. [09:56] shiMMer: If it's an external drive, you should probably generate a UUID for it [09:56] mine ntfs partiton is /dev/sda2 [09:57] shiMMer, I think I recall reading that an ntfs partition *WILL NOT* be auto-mounted if its dirty-bit is set... you may need to run a Windows CHKDSK on it [09:57] * dr_willis seconds IntuitiveNipple 's comment. [09:57] IntuitiveNipple: You can also change a file, I think [09:57] hyper: that's my same problem! I will try some of the solutions. I couldn't find this link earlier [09:57] shiMMer: edit it to your need [09:57] i dun have windows [09:57] I am new to linux and a all time windows user but i am up for a change and would like to know is ubuntu good for desktop?

[09:58] Canaen: Thanks :) [09:58] my internal drive.i use windows before.i wont format that partition [09:58] hyperb0lix, one of the ntfs-3g tools can force a change in the NTFS $MFT bitmap, but it isn't recommended [09:58] baddj: do you have a good strong system? or is it an older outdated system? [09:59] IntuitiveNipple: There's always some hack, though :P That's Linux [09:59] shiMMer, Can you manually mount sda2 ? [09:59] server irc.quakenet.org [09:59] what command? [09:59] its the latest and gratest harware i built it my self. [09:59] i am new with ubuntu [10:00] shiMMer, See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G [10:00] is it hard to learn a lot of the commands also what the best the ubuntu with KDE or gnome [10:00] shiMMer, if you plan on not going back to windows.. you should backup your data and perahps c hange that drive to ext3 soon. :) You can use the ntfs-3g command to mount the thing from the CLI to see if its shown as 'dirty' if so - you can fix it with some other command line tools.. I forget what ones however. [10:00] how to install intel 82946GZ/GL graphics driver for my debian lenny [10:00] baddj: oh.. nice. well then, the lastest version of ubuntu should be good for you then. as long as the linux kernel supports all your hardware. somoetimes the latest hardware isn't fully supported [10:00] shiMMer, that does have some 'risk' but you should be able to at least mount it read only. for now. :) [10:01] not easy to backup with 120gb full with my files [10:01] shiMMer, Also, see [10:01] http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#questions [10:01] <|ntegra|> hey guys I got a problem :: when I play music on xmms ,I then can't play sound on youtube :: is there a way to just reset alsa or give both xmms and firefox access to the sound? I've been having to reboot which sux a bit [10:01] shiMMer, old 'PC wisdom' - data not worth backing up - is not worth having... :) try ntfs-3g command, and 'ntfsfix' if the filesystem is shown as dirty.

But ive never used it. [10:06] ruhaan_jslip: You should be able to set limits with ulimit and /etc/security/limits.conf [10:07] ruhaan_jslip: Honestly, I've only set process limits, so I can't give a straight answer [10:07] ulimit is an appilcation? [10:07] ruhaan_jslip: Yes, it is a command [10:07] oh [10:07] thnx anyway [10:07] dr_willis, On Linux, there are no tools to do a CHKDSK, The ntfs-3g tools only do what Windows does, to set the 'dirty' bit so Windows CHDSK can do a full scan/fix before the file-system is mounted read/write [10:07] ruhaan_jslip: Check out /etc/security/limits.conf then [10:08] i think so i know i have 4GB DDR3 ram [10:08] DEBIAN ROCKS!!!

[10:26] sure [10:27] but in my dell mini 9 totem has better quality so i want to try it in my desktop [10:27] quizme, It means the mail server you're delivering to is checking back with your own mail-server to VERIFY your username@ exists, and either VERIFY isn't being allowed by your mail server, or the username@ doesn't exist (possibly an alias) [10:27] smplayer is good [10:27] because i have screen tearing when playing avi in vlc or mplayer [10:28] ashvala: if it were me, i would think about going into /ver/cache/apt/archives and using the dpkg command to try and reinstall 'apt' manually. that's just my first thought [10:28] s/ver/var [10:28] onetinsoldier, let's first see what's wrong :-) [10:28] hischild: roger that [10:28] hischild:http://paste.ubuntu.com/92710/ [10:28] onetinsoldier:http://paste.ubuntu.com/92710/ [10:29] i tried stracing it [10:29] x11 video driver ok [10:29] ashvala, Are any wine processes still running? [10:29] k [10:29] IntuitiveNipple: Nope [10:29] ashvala, you have LOADS of updates remaining to do. Have you not done so with a reason? [10:30] hischild: Iknow [10:30] ;x [10:30] onetinsoldier, i'm thinking some packages would like to see those updates done first. [10:30] hischild: no time [10:30] k if im doing a fresh install should i really get intrepid? [10:30] hischild: yeah. i see what you mean! [10:30] gdebi also fails me [10:30] nbeebo: That would be a good idea [10:30] hypwe [10:30] sorry [10:30] ashvala, why don't you have time? It'd take about half an hour on my crappy laptop. Could you update and then try again? [10:30] nbeebo: There's no "best" distro, though [10:30] nbeebo: fresh install the intrepid [10:30] hyperb0lix, thanks... lol.. yes i know [10:31] neuon ok thanks byebye all [10:31] hischild: how can I ever update with a apt that segfaults? [10:31] nbeebo: Good luck [10:31] hischild: sounds like his dpkg might be broken too [10:31] ashvala, sudo aptitude full-upgrade [10:31] ashvala, and if that also errors, pastebin it as well. [10:31] IntuitiveNipple: i don't understand. I sent an email from dbitsolutions@gmail.com to alan@mrturing.com, i'm hosting alan@mrturing.com, but i don't know why it's contacting dbitsolutions.com.... dbitsolutions.com is hosted on a different server. [10:31] onetinsoldier, if aptitude also breaks, yup. Then your solution might work. [10:31] hey guys [10:32] Hello [10:32] happy christmas to everyone [10:32] hischild: it connected [10:32] hischild: yes... but his dpkg might be broke as well --> ashvala gdebi also fails me [10:32] ashvala, what you mean with connected? It's updating? [10:32] hischild: yea [10:32] hischild: I'm fairly certain this too will fail [10:33] onetinsoldier, i saw that yes. Let's see what comes out [10:33] guys is there someone who has a creative zen stone plus 4gb mp3 player?? [10:33] harlem: ubuntu question? [10:33] apt-get may well fail for the updates too [10:33] yes [10:33] harlemdavvey: u want buy? [10:33] i have bought it [10:33] ashvala, if it goes wrong, pastebin whatever you can see on your terminal. [10:34] !enter | harlemdavvey [10:34] harlemdavvey: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:34] ashvala: what verison of ubuntu are you running? [10:34] ashvala, Are you running Intrepid? 32-bit? [10:34] ok guys;) [10:35] is there any application on linux ubuntu you can control the charge of your mp3 player with? [10:35] onetinsoldier: Hardy 32bit [10:35] harlemdavvey: what do you mean exactly? [10:35] or not [10:36] ashvala: roger. you didn't try to upgrade to Intrepid did you? [10:36] sfer2: he probably wanted amarok [10:36] onetinsoldier: Nope [10:36] ok [10:36] ashvala: He could also install Rockbox... I think you can control charge with it :) [10:36] onetinsoldier, then we'd have the same situation we had yesterday. [10:36] ashvala: The Creative Zen stone does not have a display, he wants to check the charge status [10:37] yeah [10:37] leon: ah [10:37] Oh [10:37] XD [10:37] ashvala, You could try manually re-installing the apt package. wget http://archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb [10:37] leon: ohh, okay [10:37] He's out of here anyway [10:37] IntuitiveNipple, let's not give the man a thousand solutions and let's just wait and see what comes out of the first one. [10:37] how does locate work? I started sudo updatedb and then locate STH and STH was not found, but command find did find this file; why? manual says that updatedb scanns whole filesystem by default [10:38] You can probably just chrage it and will notice when its out of battery because he can't listen to any music... [10:38] Pe3k: Throw in -i if you don't want it to be case-sensitive [10:38] Pe3k, locate is case sensitive. [10:39] IntuitiveNipple: Perhaps, after the updates [10:39] how do i uninstall msttcorefonts [10:39] I can't get my desktop visual effects to change to "Normal", it keeps saying that it can't be activated or whatever [10:39] Whats wrong with it? [10:39] ashvala, how's the update coming? [10:39] hischild: So far so good.... [10:39] hischild, hyperb0lix: but I did write right the name.. [10:39] 17 % up [10:39] kelvin911: well, have you tried... sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts ?? usually works for me [10:39] ashvala, You'll only need that if apt-get segfaults whilst trying to do the updates. What I gave you is the manual way to reinstall a known good apt package [10:39] ashvala, what stage is it at? downloading, installing, unpacking? [10:40] Letter_Z: your vga driver not supported [10:40] hischild: downloading [10:40] onetinsoldier: uninstall [10:40] onetinsoldier: i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:40] ashvala: I doubt apt will seg-fault during the download, but it might once it tries to install those packages [10:40] onetinsoldier: but i dont want the msfont [10:40] neuon, no, because it worked yesterday, it stopped working after Firefox botched up and I had to force quit it [10:40] kelvin911: oh, sorry, my bad. yeah,that i don't know right offhand [10:40] intuitivenipple: Download is not the problem, install & unpacking are the problem [10:41] Pe3k: Just try to locate something really generic, like locate bin, and see if it gives you loads of results. If it does, then you can try files that are more difficult to find... [10:41] i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras how do i undo it? [10:41] Letter_Z: well that's the problem [10:41] kelvin: look in synaptic for msfont [10:41] kelvin911: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:41] ashvala, Yes, which suggests apt-get *will* fail after the download stage. If it does, use the manual apt package installation method to reinstall apt [10:41] kelvin: sudo apt-get-remove ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:42] intuitivenipple: ok [10:42] neuon, is there any way I can fix it? Re-install my VGA Driver or something? [10:42] intuitivenipple: that means I am just wasting my bandwidth on the download! [10:42] Letter_Z: try login as another user [10:42] Okay, let me make one [10:42] Leon: locate bin works; could be a problem that I have some disks mounted manually? ...they have not record in fstab... [10:43] ashvala, No, because once the apt package is fixed, you can rerun the "upgrade" and it'll use the packages already downloaded [10:43] intuitivenipple: Ah, the packages are in /var right? [10:43] ashvala: /var/cache/apt/archives [10:44] Pe3k: locate should only search the filesystem its database was created for... [10:44] Pe3k: Use find if you want to search elsewhere [10:44] Pe3k: did you run sudo updatedb while these disks were mounted? [10:44] Leon:yes [10:44] Pe3k: Yeah, hyperb0lix probably knows what he's doing better than I do [10:44] onetinsoldier: should i remove the package winedev there? [10:44] ashvala, /var/cache/apt/archives/ [10:45] or rather, can I? [10:45] Leon: :P I doubt that [10:45] ashvala: it doesn't matter what dir you're in to remove a package [10:45] ashvala, Removing the package won't uninstall the files from the system. only make it even more problematic to uninstall :) [10:46] ashvala Don't mess with the apt archives unless you're an expert :D [10:46] hyperb0lix: yes, but I don't want to serach whole system each time and searching only such database file would be better [10:46] ashvala: oh, you can 'rm' the wine package that's in there if you want..that won't hurt anything [10:46] hyperb0lix: Shall we have a discussion now about who is more of a n00b? :) [10:47] Pe3k: do you need a good gui frontend to the find command? [10:47] Hi Folks, happy xmas :) [10:47] u2 ben [10:47] Leon: Neither [10:47] Pe3k: where the file location? [10:47] 33 % complete [10:48] roger [10:48] I've got a problem with my firefox. it doesn't load all the pics of a website sometimes. f.e amazon.com [10:48] ubuntu 8.1 [10:48] ashvala, the downloads? [10:48] firefox 3.05 [10:49] 6000dsl, 2500 possible connections per minute, 512kbit upload, tested on speed.io [10:49] i think its a tcp/ip-setting [10:49] Leon: We are all learning constantly, so I don't like to generalize anyone as a "n00b" :) [10:49] hischild: goin' on & on [10:49] under windows i would kow how to configure it, but on ubuntu its another story [10:49] hischild: i will do the updates later, lemme first get apt [10:50] hyperb0lix: Well, because Pe3k asked me I am now learning how to use find :) [10:50] ashvala, the updates can quite likely have broken your apt, hence me suggesting to try to update first. [10:50] benjamin1, Is it possible your ISP is using a transparent HTTP proxy - it could be overloaded and dropping TCP connections [10:50] benjamin1, ive noticed a lot of servers having issues today... could be lag/load, or somthing also. [10:50] Leon: :) [10:51] wb wirefire [10:51] benjamin1, The acid test for that is to access a web-site on a port other than 80 (e.g. use HTTPS (port 443)) and see if that also gets broken files. [10:51] benjamin1: it's also possible for router problems/outages between you and the websites these images come from [10:51] ty [10:51] Pe3k: OK, try "find /your/diretory -name yourfilename" [10:51] ciao [10:51] !it [10:51] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [10:51] IIntuitiveNipple: ill try that [10:51] benjamin1: and possible problems with the server these images are served from [10:51] Hi. I used to be able to disable the 'system beep' by going to system>preferences>sound>system beep, but it isn't there anymore in Ibex. Can anyone tell me where it is now? [10:52] Pe3k: Leon's example works flawlessly, but -name is case-sensitive [10:52] intuitivenipple: is archives on? [10:52] onetinsoldier: maybe, but i've got the problem since i use ubuntu. for 2 weeks... [10:52] intuitivenipple:abhu@shakti:/media/cdrom0$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb [10:52] --15:21:43-- http://archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb [10:52] => `apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb' [10:52] Resolving archive.ubuntu.org... 208.67.216.132 [10:52] Connecting to archive.ubuntu.org|208.67.216.132|:80... connected.

[10:52] HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved Temporarily [10:52] benjamin1: roger. i doubt it's firefox itself though. [10:52] until now i've got other more important issues with ubuntu thats why i'm focusing only now on the prob :) [10:53] ashvala, hang on, let me test it here [10:53] Hi folks. Merry Christmas. :) [10:53] onetinsoldier: yeah me 2. i think it got something with the inetconnectionsettings in ubuntu to do... [10:53] because under windows anything loads fine [10:53] sry for flodding [10:53] neuon: No, that didn't work, but I just made the account [10:53] ashvala, well GL then. [10:54] benjamin1: oh, i see. hmmm [10:54] hischild: why? [10:54] ashvala, you're mixing solutions, stopping one solution to do the other. [10:54] tiyowan: Merry Christmas! [10:54] hischild: updates are certainly not the problem! it is the apt program! [10:55] Hi. I used to be able to disable the 'system beep' by going to system>preferences>sound>system beep, but it isn't there anymore in Ibex. Can anyone tell me where it is now? [10:55] onetinsoldier: can u test this url for me? http://www.amazon.de/Sonderangebote-Restposten-Schn%C3%A4ppchen-Shop-%C3%9Cberblick/b/ref=amb_link_82762593_1?ie=UTF8&node=872398&pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=11J7WPR4FWE9ZYBKMDGH&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=464818473&pf_rd_i=301128 [10:55] ashvala, if you installed a program that depends on an updated program, it can most certainly break another program depending on the old version. Since you have 250 updates, you should install those first before making any adjustments. [10:55] Merry Christmas! [10:55] Hey all - what is a good .nfo viewer for ubuntu? [10:56] gmathews, chmsee [10:56] ashvala, wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i apt_0.7.14ubuntu6_i386.deb [10:56] gmathews, last i looked .nfo files were just idiotically named TEXT files at least the ones I constaltly find are... [10:56] gmathews, oops, sorry. i misunderstood our question :) [10:56] ashvala, That works here (I originally wrote the domain as .org, not .com) [10:56] gmathews, *ur [10:56] dr_willis: but in windows for example the DAMN nfo viewer displays ASC art quite nicely [10:56] merry christmas [10:56] and of course inder windows .nfo is used by somthing else in the system.. so all these downloads with .nfo get loaded by somthing wrong. :) [10:57] Happy holidays :) [10:57] IIntuitiveNipple: with https it works [10:57] hello everybody [10:57] gmathews, woop-de-doo :) from what ive seen.. windows loads them in some reguietry editor.. but i dont install a special app just for .nfo files dont plan on it any time soon either. :) a text editor with Monospaced fonts.. will work [10:57] benjamin1, That does suggest your ISP is using a transparent HTTP proxy then. Who is the ISP? [10:57] IIntuitiveNipple: but the pictures are loaded from a different server... hmm, ill try and load the site in windows one more time to doublecheck === peon is now known as neuon [10:57] gmathews, have u tried to open the nfo file in gedit? [10:57] arcor.de [10:58] its a german isp [10:58] neuon: No, that didn't work, but I just made the account [10:58] vi foo.nfo in a terminal? [10:58] tuntun: you can blacklist pcspkr [10:58] benjamin1, ok... don't forget to totally clear the local browser cache else the files will come from the local hard drive [10:58] IIntuitiveNipple: but why didn't i'Ve got problems until now? [10:58] dr_willis: i use gedit...I am looking for a proper .nfo viewer. If u guys are on windows check out DAMN nfo viewer and open up an nfo with ASC art and tell me what it looks like [10:58] Intuitivenipple: INstall complete [10:58] IIntuitiveNipple: and how to adapt my ffox? [10:59] gmathews, i know what it looks like... [10:59] gmathews, you could always use that tool and wine. if nfo files are so imporntant to ya. I tend to delete .nfo files :) not look at them [10:59] benjamin1, You should check the HTTP headers returned, see if they reveal a proxy server [10:59] gmathews, ascii art went out with my 300baud BBS systems. :) [10:59] gmathews, http://home.gna.org/nfoview/ [10:59] Letter_Z: you login to gnome as another user and try to set it to normal? [10:59] hahaha [10:59] benjamin1, Alternatively, if you want to try fetching a page from my web server I can examine the server log, see if it reveals a proxy [10:59] I like keeping nfo files though [10:59] even the full release names :P [11:00] neuon, yeah, I made another user and switched to that and then tried to change it, it returned the same error [11:00] IntuitiveNipple: that would be nice, cause i've got now knowledge how to fish packages under ubuntu :) [11:00] dr_willis: bbs isn't out and neither is ascii art [11:00] gmathews, check this out: http://home.gna.org/nfoview/ [11:00] neuon, I read that is not a good solution as it also stops critical beeps. [11:00] amerinese, yes it is.. :) you just dident get the memo. [11:00] IntuitiveNipple:and why isn't this an issue under windows? [11:00] dr_willis: i use a bbs that has over 140,000 people online each night [11:00] benjamin1: sorry, i was away a bit there.. i just tested it [11:00] thanks a lot jemark thats EXACTLY what I'm looking for mate :)) [11:00] Hi. I used to be able to disable the 'system beep' by going to system>preferences>sound>system beep, but it isn't there anymore in Ibex. Can anyone tell me where it is now? [11:00] amerinese, you were too busy on err. what was that old game... :) i even froget it.. spent HOURS on it... [11:00] benjamin1, lets chat privately for this [11:01] tuntun_: Someone said it should be system alert or something [11:01] under hardy I have a kvm-vm running with 1.2G RAM. Apps are: exim, clamav, spamassassin and dovecot. After a reboot around 300MB RAM are used, but in the night at around 1am the memory usage goes up to 1.1G. Even if I stop the four apps above, the memory only goes down by around 300MB. Can somebody explain, what is causing this high memory usage? [11:01] benjamin1: everything on there loaded very fast [11:01] onetinsoldier: IntuitiveNipple thinks its an transparent proxy-prob of mine [11:01] gmathews, ok, cool [11:01] benjamin1: roger, good luck! [11:01] dr_willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTT_Bulletin_Board_System [11:01] onetinsoldier: l8a, thx for help [11:01] Letter_Z: i works for me... try reinstall the vga driver then [11:02] anyone have recommendations for an external tv box compatible with ubuntu? [11:02] tuntun: yup [11:02] neuon, Uh, how do I do that? [11:02] thanks,guys have to go now... [11:03] Letter_Z: what vga you use? [11:03] amerinese, i recall the Mythbuntu site/channel had a very good list of that. Ive not used MythTV in ages however. so im not sure whats 'good' now a days [11:03] Hey guys - where is the gallery section of the Ubuntu forum website where ppl post screenshots + wallpapers for ubuntu? I cant seem to find it [11:03] hyperb0lix: I can't find anything like that. [11:03] tuntun: Is it just bothering you for the terminal? [11:03] davenull kelvin911: Install 'flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound' do that, and the problem is solved. where is flashplayer-nonfree-extrasound ?? [11:04] * zleap is watching penguin adventures on ch5 [11:04] neuon, I don't know, whatever came stock in my HP Pavilion a1254l [11:04] british antartic circle, where the tux all started :) [11:04] circle = survey sorry [11:04] how can I free "cache memory"? [11:05] derjoerg, why do you think you need to? [11:05] dr_willis: yeah, logical place to look too, i'll check it out [11:05] Letter_Z: try lspci [11:05] How do i suggest a package to be added for synaptic? [11:05] !thinktank [11:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about thinktank [11:05] Hmm.. what was that url.. [11:05] !brainstorm [11:05] Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [11:05] !dr_willis [11:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about dr_willis [11:05] dr_willis: free -m shows me 860MB cached memory, but nearlly no app is running !?! [11:06] hyperb0lix: It's used by several things, I would like to know where its menu entry has gone. [11:06] derjoerg, and this is a problem why? Cache is cache.. its freed up as its needed. [11:06] does anyone know waht the problem is here: [11:06] its not really an idea - its just a package to be added? not sure if its the same place [11:06] checking for gzopen in -lz... no [11:06] configure: error: transcode depends on libz, but cannot links against libz [11:06] tuntun: Beats me, I'm not an Ubuntu user; Did you try Google? [11:06] ist happens if I try to compile transcode [11:06] neuon, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0e) [11:07] hyperb0lix: u didn't use ubuntu? [11:07] hyperb0lix: yes I searched for an answer. === rd3000x is now known as Guest81079 [11:07] neuon: I used to [11:07] dr_willis: well, I though (!!!), that only 13 MB of free memory is not much and I don't understand, why so much memory is in use, even if no app is running [11:07] neuon: I have nothing against it, though [11:07] neuon: It's a damn good distro [11:08] derjoerg, You are thinking in windows terms... where no ram is bad.. Linux uses whatever it can as cache.. and frees it up as needed.. You dont need to worry about it. [11:08] derjoerg, its being used as disk-cache mainly. [11:09] Letter_Z: maybe xserver-xorg-video-intel [11:09] dr_willis: that is interesting, i didn't know about that. do you have any links so i can read up on this and understand it a bit more? [11:09] hyperb0lix: so what you use now? [11:09] dr_willis: ah, ok. Thanks for the info. But how can I recognize then, if I have to low memory assigned to a vm? [11:09] neuon: Arch Linux [11:09] neuon, no such command [11:09] sfer2, on what? google for 'linux memory ussage' perhaps? :) [11:10] Letter_Z: what command? [11:10] thanks [11:10] xserver-xorg-video-intel === Guest81079 is now known as rd3000x [11:10] neuon: I will admit, however, that APT is superior (opinion!) [11:10] windows has trained people to worry about things.. that the OS should be taking care of. :) [11:10] Where do ppl post their screenshots on ubuntu forums - does anyone know the direct URL? [11:10] how do i know which version of flash i am using? [11:10] derjoerg: If it starts getting high iowait in 'vmstat' you know it needs ram. [11:10] dr_willis: haha, it's too late for me already, i should stop asking stupid questions. [11:10] Letter_Z: that's the vga driver you use, not a command [11:11] Oh, right, how do I reinstall it? [11:11] try reinstall that [11:11] sfer2, next is to ask how to Defrag your Linux Drives. :) [11:11] dr_willis: lol [11:11] dr_willis: is it necessary to defrag? [11:11] does anyboyd know about postfix / [11:11] been meaning to ask that [11:11] gmathews: no [11:11] neuon, what is the reinstall command? [11:11] Hi... does anyone know how to use a large resolution in remote desktop (Vino?)... the host is at 1024x600 and the client can take up to 1440x900 [11:11] gmathews, No. :) [11:11] Thanks awesome. [11:12] *That's. [11:12] kelvin911: dpkg -l '*flash*' | grep '^ii' [11:12] Nor does it need a nightly service reboot. [11:12] cafuego: so regarding vmstat-output the io-parts are "bi" and "bo"? right? [11:12] Letter_Z: ap-get --reinstall [11:12] intuitivenipple: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92726/ [11:12] Lol cause i didnt see any scandisk or defrag so was getting worried [11:12] how to upgrade flash to version 10? [11:12] Thanks [11:12] derjoerg: yup... not ONLY in combination with cpu->wa [11:12] derjoerg: Er, s/not/but/ [11:13] ashvala: Eeek! [11:13] gmathews: 0.6% fragmentation is the highest I've ever had [11:13] hyperb0lix, neuon: Well to disable the system beep in Ibex it is now under sys>prefs>sound>sounds> under the silly checkbox of "play alert sound". Those idiot developers have seen fit to remove any reference to a "system beep" or "system bell". [11:13] hyperb0lix: how do u check fragmentation? [11:13] intuitivenipple: is it now classified as Epic Fail? [11:13] derjoerg: basically that indicates the system is swapping like mad and the cpu is waiting for it [11:13] Well to disable the system beep in Ibex it is now under sys>prefs>sound>sounds> under the silly checkbox of "play alert sound". Those idiot developers have seen fit to remove any reference to a "system beep" or "system bell". [11:13] gmathews: It should be a part of fsck, I think? [11:13] On linux that is hyperb0lix [11:13] ii flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [11:13] neuon, sudo apt-get reinstall-- xserver-xorg-video-intel? [11:13] what does it mean? [11:13] gmathews: If you run it, it should report any non-contiguity [11:14] let me try hyperb0lix [11:14] do *NOT* run it on a mounted filesystem [11:14] IntuitiveNipple, ashvala that's why i told you to run the updates first. [11:14] can fsck be used with my mounted NTFS [11:14] gmathews: ^ [11:14] gmathews: cafuego is ABSOLUTELY correct [11:14] oh cafuego [11:14] gmathews, no. [11:14] apt-get --reinstall xserver... [11:14] :p [11:14] gmathews, dont even go there. :) [11:14] hischild: nearly completed with the updates [11:14] cafuego: are there known limits, which can be monitored? as of now bi=24 bo=22 and wa=0 [11:14] tuntun: ok [11:14] just a general question: a 3gb swap is really too much, isn't it? shouldn't a few hundred megabytes be reasonable enough? [11:14] ashvala: No, it just means apt and the backing libs are out of version sync, lemme just grab the correct URLs to fix that === Thehelpfulone is now known as THO|Away [11:14] derjoerg: No, that depends 100% on your hardware [11:14] intuitivenipple: ty, [11:14] hischild: ashvala was running updates first [11:15] sfer2: If you have enough (subjective) RAM, technically, you shouldn't need any [11:15] derjoerg: having 98% wa is not great, though ;-) [11:15] aptitude: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [11:15] sfer2: It's a good idea, though, especially for a server [11:15] how do I report a bug, text on menus on certain applications in gnome does not appear at all [11:15] Merry Christmas everyone! [11:15] IntuitiveNipple, he broke them off because you were suggesting another solution. [11:15] kelvin911: ok, the version is... 10.0.1.218 [11:15] aah, i have no idea why this system ever had 3gb of swap. don't ask me, i didn't install it on this particular machine i've been looking after [11:15] onetinsoldier: i goto flash test website it says i have version 9 [11:15] sfer2: The old rules was twice your RAM [11:16] sfer2: Some people still think swap needs to be twice the size of ram [11:16] Ok how do i go about this - I want to use partition magic on my existing NTFS drive to create anothe 20 GB partition with the free space. I want to format this partition into ext3 and incorporate that in my exisitng Ubuntu partition - is that possible? [11:16] onetinsoldier: wiki pulseaudio [11:16] sfer2: But it was just a "guideline" [11:16] hyperb0lix: And it was for windows, not Linux [11:16] onetinsoldier: LNX 9,0,124,0 [11:16] for a desktop box, don't bother with swap if you have more than 1gb [11:16] it's possible to resize swap after installation with something as simple as gparted, isn't it? [11:16] onetinsoldier: how to update to version 10? [11:16] sfer2: yup [11:16] pain elevates from 1 broken to several broken packages! [11:16] cafuego: Ah, didn't know that; I've read that it applies to *nix as well [11:16] :( [11:16] I tried to use my USB disk on ubuntu, and now i cant read the data on windows or linux, the filesystem i use on the disk is NTFS any tips? [11:16] kelvin911: sudo updatedb && locate libflash ..what do you get? [11:16] hyperb0lix: Crufty old unixes, some of them. [11:17] cafuego: ok, thanks so far. I will monitor bi bo and wa the next weeks with cacti to see the trends [11:17] cafuego: Which is precisely why it's an "old guideline" now [11:17] cafuego: i guess I'd have to use a live cd to do it, though, as it's currently in use? [11:17] sfer2: You'll want decent swap on a machine that can have processes be idle for a few days - that way they can be put in swap and the ram used as cache. [11:17] sfer2: and you'll want swap on a laptop, so you can hibernate [11:17] onetinsoldier: wait [11:18] sfer2: how much swap would you suggest? [11:18] wait... [11:18] How do i monitor my incoming /outgoing eth1 speeds without going into system monitor all the time [11:18] cafuego: dunno [11:18] i just installed an extra hard drive and want to allow user to deleted files from it...what should i do?...or at least learn how to manage the new hard drive [11:18] sfer2: lol === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:18] cafuego: lol [11:18] onetinsoldier: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m916e2e5 [11:18] You guys are using your own nicks! [11:18] sfer2: How much ram you got? What does the machine do? [11:18] cafuego: how much swap would you suggedy? *smacks self over head, makes sure he doesn't go near a computer for the next 8 hours* [11:18] hyperb0lix: I own my nick, I'm perfectly allowed to use it ;-) [11:19] You otoh might now owe me a license fee [11:19] ramon: you can either set permissions with chmod or chown, see man chmod / chown [11:19] well, i can't give you great detail because i don't have it just here, but it has about 1.5gb ram and it's only really used as a "frontend" for a server (it's not the actual server itself) [11:19] cafuego: :P [11:19] sfer2: I wouldn't bother with swap then [11:19] kelvin911: i'm not sure what to think [11:19] dasei thanks [11:19] sfer2: You could put in 1 MB [11:20] sfer2: If later on it turns out you need some, you can always add a 512MB swap file on /var somewhere [11:20] cafuego: i thought 3gb of swap was a bit much anyway. I'll need to use a livecd to change the partition though, won't I? [11:20] sfer2: yep === weilawei is now known as weilawei|awei [11:20] Lots of swap is handy if you use suspend/hibernate [11:20] ramon:if you want it for the whole hd, which let's say is mounted at /mnt/hd, do a : sudo chown ramon /mnt/hd , assuming username is ramon [11:21] kelvin911: if you type into the address bar in Firefox the following, you can see the version of Flash it says it using, what do you see? --> about:plugins [11:21] cafuego: actually, looks like i can resize it while im using it. but then, i guess i'll have some unused space just sitting there - don't have physical access to the machine at the moment [11:21] you low on space currently? [11:21] hi, how do i give access to normal users to my new mounted hdd? [11:22] /nich sidd === sidd|away is now known as sidd [11:22] * cafuego applauds [11:22] cafuego: not really, but at the rate it's going the machine will probably be pretty full up soon [11:22] * neuon away [11:22] also check the reserved disk percentage then [11:23] how do i give mount/umount permission for removable media/connected hdd to normal users? [11:23] dasei the hard drive is mounted cause shows in the desktop but i am only able to read and write [11:23] sidd, and what filesystem is this media? i [11:24] dr_willis: NTFS [11:24] !ntfs [11:24] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [11:24] I really should be off now. I'll attempt this tomorrow when I have a fresh mind and stop asking stupid questions/making obvious mistakes [11:24] Merry Christmas to everyone in this room! [11:24] sidd, you need to put the user option in the /etc/fstab [11:24] dr_willis: the same hdd is mounted automatically and shown in on my other ubuntu machine [11:24] sfer2: That's how we learn [11:24] sidd, install/run the ntfs-config tool.. may do it all for ya [11:24] * cafuego needs to go and pass out as well [11:24] kelvin911: hello? did you see my previous message about how to further check the version in Firefox? [11:24] Merry xmas to all of you guys. [11:24] ramon:if you can write, you can also delete [11:24] And a happy New Year [11:24] if you wana view a ntfs file system you just have to mount it [11:25] sidd, its worth learning how Linux access NTFS drives.. theres some things to watch out for. :) [11:25] create the /mnt folder and do [11:25] hyperb0lix: the thing is, ive been asking so many dumb questions just recently that i knew the answer to :P [11:25] derek, actually they can get auto-moutned on clicking/access :) [11:25] ramon:the command from terminal to remove (delete) is rm, but be carefull with that [11:25] CaneToad: which line? a new hdd could be anything from sdb1 to sddN. and on my office Ubuntu, it is mounted as the volume name in /media [11:25] derek, HAL/Gnome is handy at that. [11:25] sudo -t mount /dev/(device goes here) /mnt -o force [11:25] sfer2: Which reinforces that newfound knowledge :) [11:25] i guess it does [11:25] dr_willis: yeah, I've been through that. I can mount as root anytime, only, how do i give access to normal users? [11:26] it's just that the details of ram/cpu aren't exactly my thing ;) [11:26] sidd, ntfs-config tool..... [11:26] automount didnt work for me to read / write [11:26] sidd: you can either set permissions with chmod or chown, see man chmod / chown [11:26] i can only read on an ntfs automount [11:26] sidd:if you want it for the whole hd, which let's say is mounted at /mnt/hd, do a : sudo chown ramon /mnt/hd , assuming username is ramon [11:26] dr_willis: roger that :) [11:26] derek, it pays to learn how Linux handles ntfs drives.. if you have to use -o force.. then you SHOULD be checking that drive with a windows machine really soon. [11:27] nah [11:27] Any way to see the contents of packages without installing them? I'm trying to see what the difference is between the package named 'zend-framework' and the one named 'libzend-framework-php'. they have the same description but why are there two? [11:27] i dont even really use windows anymore [11:27] dr_willis: a while ago i checked and the ntfs_write module was still alpha. is it stable now? [11:27] i think i had to use the -o force because of an improper shutdown [11:27] with the apt commands, given a filename, how do you determine what package installed it? [11:27] dasei how do i access to my hard drive?...is called mynewharddrive ...should i just cd /home.../mynewharddrive? [11:27] mojik: look in synaptic, or... [11:27] moijik: will the php one need the other one when you go to install it? [11:27] sidd, i use the ntfs-3g stuff. so not paid much attention to the ntfs_write stuff [11:27] moijk, from a terminal: apt-cache show package [11:27] if so, probably just some kind of extension to it [11:27] anyone know how to turn the microphone ON from my Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) on my Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000? [11:27] moijk: yes.. sudo apt-get apt-file && sudo apt-file update [11:28] oops thats what was missing in my command [11:28] the ntfs-3g [11:28] ramon: type mount in trml to get the mountpoint , f.e. /media/disk [11:28] dr_willis: coz still when I mount ntfs parts in ubuntu, it says ro file systen [11:28] kelvin911: hello? you still here? [11:28] it was supposed to be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/(device name goes here) /mnt -o force [11:28] ramon:where is the hd mounted ? [11:29] i guess you have to force ntfs-3g instead of the stock ntfs module [11:29] ramon needs to do sudo fdisk -l to figure out what he's working with [11:29] dasei ext3 [11:29] moijk: then... apt-file show | less [11:29] needs a device name [11:29] onetinsoldier & janito: thanks. didnt know of the apt cache param nor the apt-file command [11:29] you guys working on xmas? =D [11:29] moijk: then... apt-file show | less [11:29] moijk: ok, you're welcome :-) [11:29] ice_cream: I wouldnt say this is work :p [11:30] ramon:ext3 is the filesystem-type (fat,ntfs,ext3...), type : mount Aight, let's close up shop!

[12:25] Dam0: don't use that for fun [12:25] Dam0, what makes you think its installed to both drives? [12:25] neuon, some one might actually do it. i don't think this kind of comment is advisable :| [12:25] hello, I've port 135 closed , how to stealth it ? [12:25] tiyowan: After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10 usplash can't install or work for me. [12:26] Yuji1: Try the Startup Manager, mate, and see if the problem persists. [12:26] can i do this? sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i *.deb ? [12:26] becuase on startup i get a choice to pick what os i want [12:26] It does. [12:26] hmm [12:26] Because usplash isn't even working. [12:26] do what i did, reformat that'll fix it [12:26] Yuji1: Yikes.

Startup manager isn't any thing like that. Problem is still usplash. :/ [12:27] i just used rm -rf [12:27] Dam0: You didn't actually *run* the cmd neuon told you right?

[12:32] lubosz: Try a complete remove and install? :/ [12:32] Dam0: rm is a cmd to delete files so you can't get them back [12:32] didnt work [12:32] Yuji1: how do i do that? [12:32] neuon: Any particularly reason why you suggested that cmd btw? [12:32] he does not create the php.ini after removing and installing "php5" [12:32] Dam0: Do what? ls LiSt (files and folders) [12:32] thanks [12:33] Mhm.

[12:34] tiyowan: yes only use it in system where you want to delete [12:34] And it be entirely exact. Like then to place the new bigger as primary master and yeah work as if nothing changed. :) [12:34] Dam0: You should be. [12:34] i hope so [12:34] Dam0: your luck next to sudo was that no subdirs were effcted, any file in / with user-permission (which is seldom) is off [12:34] Yuji1: I have used gparted for this, dd also works [12:34] okay thanks everyone [12:34] :) [12:34] neuon: I see. Perhaps you should be a bit more clear next time, right mate? [12:34] kelvin911: no problems? ;) [12:34] DasEi, he used recursive so it would've gone through every folder. He didn't do it. [12:34] t00lzf0nt: DD? GParted will do an exact, EXACT copy? As if to move a partition across hdds? [12:35] Dam0: back to your quest.. 2 hd's ?

[12:35] doesnt work [12:35] Yuji1: gparted uses something similar to dd, I have used it to move an ubuntu partition, a vm partition, and a windows partition. [12:35] Dam0: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [12:36] neuon: I mean, you wouldn't want us to think that you're intentionally suggesting malicious commands to people on a support channel, right?

It just shows a black screen and doesnt proceed.. [13:04] dasei: im done [13:04] all the options in the menu say invalid or corrupt kernel image [13:04] Dam0: finish fstab with a blank line (hit enter), save the file,close gedit [13:05] DasEi: i just closed it without a black line:( [13:05] i saved it [13:05] fallen_me: mostly it's bad burning, try at a lower speed /another drive [13:05] DasEi i did... [13:05] Dam0: don't worry [13:05] tried both [13:05] okai [13:05] Xman, did you try a shell? [13:05] Xman, just press CTRL + ALT + F1 and see if you can login in a shell [13:05] reburned it at lower speed, tried a differant drive [13:06] f2 [13:06] Quintin, okay, thats strange, any errors anywhere? [13:06] tried it on 2 differant systems still the same ;[ [13:06] Adriaan: I can get some stuff to capture video, but I can't get video + audio [13:06] t00lzf0nt: Well it installed and all, and when I shutdown it works but boot up shows text. :/ [13:06] Merry Christmas!!! Ubuntu is Catolic!! [13:06] Adriann: yes i can login there, but if once i have entered my uid and passwd into ubuntu GUI login screen then it doesnt shifts to shell also. [13:06] And I had to re-do all my eth config, odd. [13:07] Dam0: I will have another llook in menu.lst in a min, but before: If system hangs at reboot, use a live cd to come either back here or know that you can copy back fstab from fstab_false_works [13:07] t00lzf0nt: It said some thing about splashy though.

[13:08] fallen_me: mostly it's bad burning, try a different drive for burning [13:08] t00lzf0nt: ??? [13:08] Xman, try it again, sometimes you might need to press it twice [13:08] It showed the normal ubuntu one on shutdown. Boot, fail. :/ [13:08] Should I add splash to the end of Kernel in menu.lst? [13:08] Adriaan: but without loging in through GUI when i press ctrl+alt+f1 the shell comes up nd i login there [13:09] Adriaan: i tried it so many times dude [13:09] Xman, okay, you might be able to fix it from the shell.. why not try running gnome from the shell, so it might return some errors [13:10] Yuji1: I don't know much about usplash try ubottu's suggestion to update your initial ramdisk [13:10] Quintin, sorry i am not that familiar with video/audio recording :( [13:10] Adriaan: u mean the cmd init 3 from shell? [13:10] Dam0 . ? oo [13:10] Xman, just login in your shell and run gnome [13:11] Adriaan: can u give me the cmd to run gnome [13:11] Xman, then get back to the shell and see if there are errors [13:11] Xman, sure, hold on [13:12] Xman, i believe its gnome-session [13:12] Dam0 : has a newer 8.10 on sda and an older on sdb, oo [13:13] Xman, but you have to have X running first.. but if GDM has started, i believe X is started as well..

[13:15] Adriaan: shall i do restart /etc/init.d/?dm?? [13:15] use alsamixer to turn sound up [13:15] then try other stuff [13:15] Xman, that shouldnt be the problem, but if you feels that can work it doesnt hurt [13:15] mod ,etc [13:15] hi @all, merry christmas! [13:15] the volume down WOULD be a prob [13:16] Adriaan: ok going to reboot now to do that [13:16] maybe , i dunno [13:16] Hey, i've been searching on the net for a guide how to install wow (from CD's) with wine.

[13:21] scensis: Try browsing the CD and double-clicking the exe. :/ Wine should run it. :/ [13:21] scensis: I don't see any probable change in Wine from reinstalling it. [13:21] how do I get k3b to add a file to the project on double click instead of single click?

I'm a semi-beginner! [13:27] wash-hasted: didnt work :-) [13:27] it loads the clip, flashes once and then doesnt play the clip [13:27] scensis: Well autorun.inf tells Windows what file to run. Opening it in gedit/text editor will show what file it runs (exe). Double-click (should execute with wine) the file and Wine will run it.

[19:19] ronhalfdanr, if you want stable, use Hardy Heron [19:19] ronhalfdanr, I'm on Hardy and don't have the issues you're describing [19:19] allsystemsarego: XP was stable for 5 years one the initial install...........ubuntu has completely hosed my fielsystem within 3 months [19:20] hey, I have a trouble setting the tx-power of my alfa 500mW, i keep getting low signal however am 2 feet far away from the AP.

I mean like, the launcher should point to gksu nvidia-settings [19:21] ronhalfdanr, Hardy Heron is LTS (long term support) - from that point of view I would regard Ibex as experimental / unstable [19:21] I don't use Adobe products because they mess with my filesystem, sure not going to keep using ubuntu if it's gonna cause similar problems [19:22] hey guys :) anybody here using Alfa 500mW wireless device ?:) [19:22] hello. is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/92864/ /etc/network/interfaces file ok. i want to add 2 dns too.

[19:26] ronhalfdanr, make sure you have a backup of your home directory for when you start using Hardy [19:27] djungelkraem, the command I gave you does that [19:27] Stanlin, it works 100% fine on Vista [19:27] I think its something that depends on the TX-power, I iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1, and set the TX-power to 27, but still low signal [19:28] ronhalfdanr, the small items you are talking about are stored in hidden directories under /home/ronhalfdanr [19:28] kem0`2: yeah, call your manufacturer [19:28] Could anyone explain to me the difference between KDE and GNOME? [19:28] Stanlin, ha? [19:29] so just copy that folder to something then recopy it after installing hardy? [19:29] kem0`2, do you have a realtek 8187 [19:29] Lexvegas, yes [19:29] squeee: They are different desktop envirmoents. Different default applications, different look, different philosophy. look at their websites to see wich one is right for you [19:29] kem0`2, i have a similar problem, if i am not within 10-15 feet of the router, then i cant connect to the internet [19:30] squeee, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-129036.html [19:30] Lexvegas, it took me so much time to correctly install the drivers, do u have r8187 installed, or rtl8187 ? [19:30] ronhalfdanr, yes, also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto [19:31] allsystemsarego: it shows alot of gnome packages too that came with gnome window-manager (installed during the ubuntu-installation) [19:31] kem0`2, i could never get the windows drivers to work, so i just use the driver that comes with ibex [19:31] squeee: it's like milk and milk [19:31] anyone in Uk know places to order customisable PC's that mention linux compatibility? so far seen Dell Ubuntu and efficientpc, but wana know all my options :) [19:31] hell with that allsystemsarego..............as much works as going back to XP [19:32] kem0`2, currently my laptop is crashed, so i can't check to se what one it is [19:32] i broke grub [19:32] but I can get into the back door through media and change ownwers..........maybe...........should I change owner and group to my username? [19:33] Lexvegas, does it work fine on BT3 ? [19:33] djungelkraem, yes, but that's what you want, right? if it's on your system, you want it listed [19:33] kem0`2, BT3? [19:33] backtraack 3 [19:34] kem0`2, no idea, it "worked" out of the box for me [19:34] allsystemsarego: yeah kind of - but id rather want to see the packages IVE installed AFTER the ubuntu-installation [19:34] Merry christmas all! [19:35] you should be able to generate a list of all installed packages [19:35] Lexvegas, i donnu man, i feel that i wasted 60$, I cant get it work right, it works 100% on vista only [19:35] kem0`2, what are you trying to do [19:35] ppl pls help me [19:35] kem0`2, it was atcually working pretty good on vista [19:35] djungelkraem, I see, hmmm, then you need to go back to the liveCD, run that command, then find the elta's between the files [19:35] zleap1, increase the signal issue with my Alfa 500mW [19:35] ah [19:35] thats a wifi device [19:35] right [19:36] N00b question about Vista dual boot. Found a a great tutorial here: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm?page=4 [19:36] i installed a software by downoadiing the deb file. now i want to uninstall it how do i do so? it doesnt show up in synaptic? [19:36] yup, it is supposed to be the best wifi device today [19:36] allsystemsarego: how would i get to the deltas? [19:36] ronhalfdanr, try that, and make sure your command is recursive [19:36] pls help [19:36] why woud you want to dual boot vista [19:36] thx [19:36] But doesn't include creating a third partition if I want to share data between the two OSes. [19:36] i would single boot linux on top of vista, and do away with vista [19:36] but that aside [19:36] djungelkraem, there is a program called "meld" that shows you the deltas between 2 files [19:37] allsystemsarego: cool thank you - ill look into that :) [19:37] Am N00b - need Vista for some work stuff, as well as security blanket. [19:37] anyone know why, after having just created a user, synaptic package manager isn't under the system menu in gnome? [19:38] not sure [19:38] crystal, on the new user?

[19:38] ?? [19:38] oh. Not in the wheel directory [19:38] no point having synaptic, if you are not able to run it, given synaptic needs root [19:38] or sudo [19:38] i think [19:38] tgpraveen, dpkg -r [19:38] crystal, zleap1 hit it on the head [19:38] allsystemsarego: I'll try it first on a blank incremental backup drive [19:39] how do I play drm-crippled dvds in ubuntu? [19:39] allsystemsarego: say i wanna uninstall openonfice 3 [19:39] what would xyz package be? [19:39] should I click set UID, set GID and sticky? [19:39] anyone know how to create a launcher in gnome that asks for root password? [19:39] crystal, you could give the new user administrator privliges [19:39] So in a dual boot scenario - can I mount the NTFS volume in Ubuntu so that I can share data files between OSes, or do I need a separate FAT32 partition for both to have R/W access?

I've updated WINE with wine's repository [19:41] and its still complaining that it can't access the authentication server [19:41] hi, does ubuntu have a config file similar to arch's /etc/rc.conf? or some place where I can edit which daemons run? [19:42] spearone, that would be the /etc/init.d directory [19:42] thanks, allsystemsarego :) [19:42] spearone, and also System-Administration-Services [19:43] what are the set UID, set GID and sticky options? [19:43] pte, how many bytes is "a few"? [19:43] allrighty thanks :D [19:43] Hello, channel. I'm having a little trouble with an external USB hard drive. It's fat32 and I can mount it fine as vfat, but once mounted no one but root can write to it, and even root can't seem to change perms on anything.

[19:46] crystal: however you want to add the darn user to the group, it needs to be in the admin group [19:47] crystal, jtaji is right [19:47] hmm, is this such a hard question? I want to move my existing Ubuntu installation from one harddrive to a Raid1 paired harddrive setup. What is the best way to do this? [19:47] allsystemsarego: sticky bit will probably not set since the only users are me and root and the advantage only look like it affects .exe..........it look slike MAYBE if I set UID/GID it will allow me to do what I want [19:47] ronhalfdanr: I'm going to try to reformat as fat16 and see if it works any better. [19:47] FAT 16 sucks in ubuntu paxsboy [19:47] Huh. [19:47] jtaji, lexvegas, that's now how you add a user to a group ... usermod -G groups1,group2, user [19:48] -, [19:48] of the windows filesystems NTFS works best across platforms [19:48] crystal: actually usermod -G is dangerous because it overwrites current groups and you have to give the whole list.... unless you add the -a append option to usermod :p [19:48] i.e. usermod -aG group user [19:48] jtaji, yes you're right but you're wrong about using useradd [19:49] Does anyone know how I play drm-crippled dvds in ubuntu?

[20:06] do you want i change it to nvidia? i think the problem will persist... [20:06] did you install the nvidia drivers manualy before the update? [20:06] no, i did the update by the update-manager. [20:06] and after the update did you boot the current kernel? the old one might not work as it doesnt fit the installed nvidia driver version [20:06] all the procedure was nice. without errors. [20:07] i did remove all the nvidia drivers, and did use aptitude to install the new ones. [20:07] why does this come? http://paste.ubuntu.com/92876/plain/ [20:07] id allways use the hardware driver thing [20:07] nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common [20:08] as it enables building of the kernelmodules on boot and stuff [20:08] just installing nvidia-glx-foo might not do the trick [20:08] so, what do you recommend?

[23:00] MetaMorfoziS: Go to System --> Preference --> Remote Desktop [23:00] please help me. i am facing this problem http://pastie.org/346776 [23:00] what does it mean when it says html rendering is currently disables [23:00] PMantis: same category :) [23:00] Melancholy: Yup [23:00] gustavo: http://tinyurl.com/7sx4wp [23:01] hey. is there any program avaiable for analyzing mp3's (i.e. like encspot) ? [23:01] what does it mean when it says html rendering is currently disabled [23:01] Promille: try audacity [23:01] i am unable to update my packages. please help me http://pastie.org/346776 [23:01] Promille: also consider picking through apt-cache search audio [23:01] thanks let me try [23:01] kitche: maybe a space issue? [23:02] arbir: thanks =) [23:02] trying to boot gparted i get !! Invalid loop location any ideas? [23:02] Promille: you are welcome! merry Xmas [23:02] arbir: what sequence of events led up to this message, say, roughly since the last working upgrade? :) [23:02] arbir: you too! [23:02] so for hardy (8.04), anybody know why i am getting the beta version of audacity? [23:02] what does it mean when it says html rendering is currently disables [23:02] encspot [23:02] chris78v: what does what mean when what says that [23:02] hydester: see if there are multiple versions available, perhaps there is a stable package and an unstable package, but apt is choosing the "latest" version. [23:03] justizin: well.. around 10 days, back, in the middle of an update my PC just rebooted. and then i used somebody's advice here, to somehow resume update.. now again i am having this problem [23:03] chris78v: yah what says that, when you do what? [23:03] justizin: can i not rebuild that file ? [23:03] what advice did you follow? [23:03] justizin, how do i find out which repo it is wanting to get it from? [23:03] kitche: it says the the files 'could not be encoded to the proper format' [23:03] hydester: try apt-cache search audacity and see what's there, compared it to dpkg -l audacity* [23:04] can anyone tell me how to "sign" something with gpg? [23:04] justizin: i backed up the status file... but that backed up status file was not a good one. we made changes to the status file and re-ran apt-get update [23:04] hi, I just did a software upgrade and it wiped out my nvidia .ko module file [23:04] twofeetwonder: there are lots of good tutorials on that sort of thing, it should be simple enough. best i could do would be to read the manpage myself, or find a tutorial, and help you through it.. [23:05] twofeetwonder: try finding a simple tutorial, make some progress on it, and let us know if you run into a problem. i'll probably be around and happy to help. [23:05] how do I get that module reinstalled, it's been like a year and forget everything I did [23:05] justizin: and now, i am not able to install any application , or update ... [23:05] memimomo: where did that .ko file come from in the first place? [23:05] justizin: I forget how I built it the first time [23:05] arbir: ouch, that doesn't sound fun. also i'd need to know what changes you made. any idea who helped you? [23:05] justizin: is there no way to rebuild this file ? googling made me find this perl script which does it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474587 But i am not trusting it [23:05] do you have logs of the old convo you could pastebin for me? [23:05] but the error I get when I bootup is that it can't find that file [23:05] justizin: it was somebody called tinman [23:06] justizin: some, onetinman, or something like that. [23:06] arbir onetinsoldier ? [23:06] how do i change download-directory beyond home in rtorrent? it suggests "./" but i cant go backwars :S [23:06] Org-Mode: yes yes.. you are right. he was very patient and very helpful... [23:06] well i'm not expert on this topic, i haven't actually had this problem, but i think i understand it and can help you understand what this script does, probably. [23:06] he is [23:06] usually if i find a script i dont want to trust for solving a system-level problem, i just read it and try to step through what it does bit by bit [23:07] djungelkraem: . is curdir, .. is parent dir. [23:07] kitche: it says the the files 'could not be encoded to the proper format' [23:07] does any body know how to get handbrake and how to use [23:07] im getting this error: [23:07] I tied following directions on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia but my menu doesn't have the "hardware drivers" menu option [23:07] djungelkraem_: also, can't you just base at / ? [23:07] i need some help, cant see imagen from webcam of a laptop from cheese but some other applications work perfect like skype... any ideas? [23:07] The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MainMenu". [23:07] justizin: how exactly? [23:07] on gnome boot [23:07] gustavo: last i checked, handbrake is a mac app. [23:07] anyone have any ideas? [23:07] justizin: it bases at ./ - i dont want that [23:07] djungelkraem: i'm not familiar with the app, just helping with basic concepts. [23:07] is this a gui limiting you? [23:08] if so, just symlink some dir into your homedir [23:08] anybody use parted magic? [23:08] !info handbrake | justizin [23:08] Package handbrake does not exist in intrepid [23:08] justizin, handbrake also has a gui for Linux [23:08] i do this on my mac to keep ssh and other keys in an encrypted image [23:08] jin: ah, wasn't aware. that's pretty awesome, then. :) [23:08] merry christmas [23:08] how is handbrake works you know? [23:08] oh, i mean, kitche, thanks. :) [23:08] justizin, it is new. ;) it was released a few months ago [23:08] gustavo: i've only used on mac, maybe kitche knows more? ;) [23:09] justizin: what do i do now ? [23:09] arbir: sorry, juggling convos, let me scroll a bit ;) [23:09] ok [23:09] I am having an issue with Ubuntu. I can see my Vista computer in Ubuntu, but can't see my Ubuntu computer in Vista. [23:09] my function keys (F12, etc.) are not functional on my laptop just after installing ubuntu 8.10 [23:09] I have the workgroup set like usual, but for some reason it can't be seen in the network manager. [23:09] arbir: do you have a log of your past convo? also, have you considered reading this script you don't trust and trying to learn more. [23:09] this is a really good time for you to strengthen your general unix/apt chops, i'd say. [23:09] ToHellWithGA, redownload the iso and checksum the iso file before you burn to dvd [23:10] i can spoonfeed you a solution, but you may be back here in 3 days asking other people to answer for what i've told you. [23:10] also, i don't know one off-hand, so i'd suspect reading some docs and coming up with a more specific question, or something that doesn't work as documented, for help if i am the only person responding to you. [23:10] here is what apt says: http://mibbit.com/pb/jxwsFL [23:10] i have some things to do today myself other than figure out how to rebuild apt's files. ;) [23:11] though, that is an *awesome* reason that nexenta's apt-clone func is teh super useful. [23:11] jin: i'll see what i can do [23:11] if that doesn't work i'll come back. thanks [23:11] mhh, no konserve in ubuntu ? [23:11] audacity 1.3.4 is beta, though. still not sure where the latest option would be [23:11] justizin: reading through past things..... i dont really understand that..... [23:11] justizin: and i was always wondering, is there no way to rebuild this file ? [23:12] hydester: it's not very clear what you did to check or what the result is. sharing a conclusion with someone you want help with is not very helpful to them, trying to help you. ;) [23:12] justizin: even if it takes 1 hr to rebuild this file.. i am prepared to do this [23:12] if your conclusion is that you're screwed, i can't help you, unless you give me a chance to find some evidence contrary to your conclusion which you've overlooked. [23:12] arbir: sure, i just don't know how, you need to take this opportunity to learn more about apt, what that file is. [23:12] justizin, so what should i show you? [23:12] clearly someone spoonfed you a solution which left me in *less* of an ability to help you [23:12] hm.. couldnt find out how to determine the bitrate with audacity.. looks to complicated for my simple task :P anyhow know an alternative way? [23:13] hydester: outp0ut of a full command and what the command was is a good start. [23:13] * Org-Mode wants justizin typing abilities :) [23:13] apt-cache audacity may show you more than one option for audacity. if you want a non-beta, you want an older versin. [23:13] Promille: you have to read audacity man pages.. [23:13] Org-Mode: I took a year-long keyboarding class in 12th grade (about ten years ago) and raced my instructor in the final. [23:13] lol [23:13] is keep the only best GUI solution for backups on a workstation ? [23:13] miguel de icaza actually commented that until we chatted the only person he knew who could type faster than him was nat friedman ;d [23:14] apt-cache showpkg audacity: http://mibbit.com/pb/fLxUR0 [23:14] hydester: that's not what i asked at all, is it? ;) [23:14] I have a pangolin performance from system 76 http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=86 and my bluetooth adapter doesn't seem to exist. What can i do? [23:14] showpkg probably resolves what apt-get install would, and shows you. [23:14] could this be a software issue or is it most likely not functioning? [23:14] apt-cache search audacity* will have more concise output and contain the information we need to proceed. [23:14] I'm having some trouble getting bluetooth working on a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I know the dongle works in another machine, and it shows up in lsusb on this one, but still nothing in 'hcitool dev' output. What can I check next? [23:15] ok, i remember now, I used envy to install the nvidia driver [23:15] I'm running envy again [23:15] apt-cache search audacity: http://mibbit.com/pb/6ZWWtG [23:15] tehloki, tonyyarusso: honestly my bt just works, but you guys might want to compare notes and learn from each other's challenges. [23:15] memimomo: if something's missing, thinking about where it came from in the first place is always a good idea. [23:15] and if something is not provided by apt/dpkg for you, create a tar file with it ;) [23:16] and, glad i could help, if only minimally. [23:17] justizin: i don't have a dongle, there is apparently an internal bluetooth device [23:17] the website said the laptop "came with bluetooth" [23:17] although it doesn't show up, and not in windows either. [23:17] tehloki: i just don't know much about configuring or debugging bluetooth. i bought a little nipple that sits on my netbook when i want to use my apple keyboard ;d [23:17] not in windows, either, eh? [23:18] did it come with windows installed? [23:18] justizin, did you see my apt-cache search? [23:18] Anyone know the package to get apache's ab? [23:18] hydester: sorry must have scrolled off, one sec pls [23:18] i just changed the sound output (to headset) in "sound preferences" -- but still getting system sound -- how do i 'reboot' the sound preferences? [23:18] justizin: no, i ran gparted live and made a new partition and installed winxp on it [23:18] or force the change to be applied [23:18] hydester: okay, so, this suggests there is only one version of audacity. there are a good few other apps which you'll find multiple entries for. python, esp. [23:18] tehloki: nothing came installed on the machine? [23:19] or, a vendor linux that you blew away? [23:19] justizin: it came with ubuntu. [23:19] oh, then, i'd call the manufacturer and ask WTF is up with your bluetooth not working. ;) [23:19] system76 does that. [23:19] i'll do that [23:19] yah asus does as well on eee i think, and acer seems possibly on the way to [23:19] sorry i can't help more, but i mean, if you buy something with ubuntu on it, make those guys tell you. :) [23:20] i know that probably wont get you fixed on xmas day, thoug [23:20] i say find ubuntu usb howto or something.

[23:20] justizin, my real issue is this beta version of audacity uses portaudio19 and doesn't seem to output audio. so i tried the last stable version (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/audacity/audacity_1.2.6-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb) which works great. just was hoping for a more elegant way via apt instead of having to download debs [23:21] which then got my wondering why beta was in the main distro source anyway [23:21] kitche: it's because my mp3 player only supports mp3 encoding... so i found how to encode in banshee in mp3. thanks for your help [23:21] hydester: yah it's really a shame that a beta is in the LTS repository, i'd say, personally, that might be worthy of a bug report. even if someone disputes, you might push and get a policy change or something. [23:21] justizin, fair enough. [23:21] hydester: you might be able to put that in your own repo, but it still won't be the latest 'audacity' package, you'd have to force a ver#, which is at least as much trouble as just dpkg -i [23:22] read about PPA if not famil === amortvigil is now known as kamortvigil [23:23] does anyone know how to install from source in cygwin? [23:24] I have a problem: When I type my WEP key to connect to a wireless network, Ubuntu keeps telling me to reenter the key [23:24] even when its correct [23:24] Does anyone know how to change my WORKGROUP from WORKGROUP to HOMEGROUP?

[23:33] sony, I just use alt when I click [23:34] sony: that may be a tall order simply due to human and haptic input limitations.. [23:34] like, double tapping is clumsy, fingers aren't precise.

[23:48] I'm having some trouble getting bluetooth working on a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I know the dongle works in another machine, and it shows up in lsusb on this one, but still nothing in 'hcitool dev' output. What can I check next? [23:48] uhoh big guy [23:48] you're on fire today Jack_Sparrow ;) [23:48] bonhoffer: ah.. why not try something like a fancy regexp.. !(\.txt) sounds like something to try [23:49] i imagine it is a regex, so find . -name !( . . .yeah [23:49] bonhoffer: try it with something a bit less fatal than "rm" first.. echo might be nice [23:50] bonhoffer: there might be a switch to negate the function of the regexp too.. [23:50] HELP when i boot, the load bar stucks in the middle , then i need to hit CTRL + ALT + DEL to force it to continue and boot, but now the computer has no VIDEO drivers, slow, etc. How can i check what went wrong during the boot?

You know with a gui? [23:51] someone can help me ? [23:51] find . \! -cnewer date_marker [23:51] interesting . . . [23:51] bonhoffer: why not mv all the *.txt files out of the directory tree [23:51] I am trying to get tv working on a card that was given to me but I dont even know where to start anyone ? [23:52] !tv [23:52] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [23:52] hi at all [23:52] booncer: what wireless stuff ? if you just mean a wireless connection I am using 8.10 with wifi right now [23:52] Slart: there is a -t flag for mount that enable me to specify the filesystem type, did that and it showed no errors... but it did not enable me to change the permitions... the one that adviced me to use Anarok said that vfat does not suport the change permition command [23:52] alkino: what problem? [23:53] alkino: btw it's usually better to just present your problem than to say you have a problem and ask if anyone is willing to help. ;) [23:53] wp_: sure there isn't another parameter for setting the default user for all files? [23:53] nah theres a distro thats full of wireless tools cant remember what its called tho [23:53] SOS [23:53] i am so yak shaving . .. [23:53] more people will answer a question than commit to answering a question they haven't heard. [23:53] i have 2 hdd : 1 ide and 1 sata, i power on the live cd and want to install, but i can only work on the ide [23:53] jussi01: yeah I saw that but my card is a PCIx and the site says it deals with PCI ... is it still useful info? [23:53] ok justizin :$ [23:53] trying to learn find so i can troubleshoot ruby . . . [23:53] does ubuntu have an AUTOMATOR like application? You know like the one on a MAC with a gui? [23:53] alkino: odd, what sort of chipset / sata controller do you have? [23:53] sata is certainly supported in ubuntu installer. [23:54] 10 hours to make an .iso with DeVeDe. Is that in any way exceptional? I have a Celeron 2800, with 1Gb RAM. [23:54] donavan: Im guessing it is... [23:54] one ask , i have firefox but with superuser the browser sails and with normal user don't sails, what are the problem? [23:54] justizin: yes it is, when i got only sata i can install on it, but now when i have the both i cannot [23:54] its not a problem of controller :) [23:54] so i have an atheros wifi card (ibm made) - there's some hardware drivers that were installed for it, but i don't "see" any networks - do i have to use ndiswrapper + win drivers? [23:54] booncer: yeah I know what your talking about and for the life of me I cant remember the name of it but I know the FBI was using it for some things a while back and I think I read about it on endgadge [23:54] sorry for my english [23:55] booncer: sorry engadget [23:55] is there a way to use find that excludes directory names? [23:55] donavan, booncer , i think fbi was using knoppix [23:56] bonhoffer: man find, i'm pretty sure it has exclude ability, or you can pipe through grep -v, which i often do, to remove entries containing any string. with egrep always, grep sometimes, you can do something like grep -v ^/some/path.*$ [23:57] this says "exclude anything beginning in /some/path followed by any number of characters matching any pattern, including none. [23:57] hello. has anyone had any luck getting ubuntu 8.10 to work on a Dell dimension 8200? Ubuntu just hangs at bootup for me.
