[00:19] arthus, ctrl-alt F2 when you get a black screen, see if that open a text terminal [00:19] anyone running Ubuntu on an HP mini 1000? [00:19] thirdwheel: what version ? [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: I get a blank screen [00:19] of ubuntu? I said Intrepid [00:19] arthus, ctrl-alt F2 when you get a black screen, see if that open a text terminal [00:19] thirdwheel: uhm testing ? [00:19] * DVA5912 vm's windows [00:19] zoor: now googling solution you (for interest) [00:19] MatBoy, production version [00:19] katafox - ahh, bad bad, do not have both ethernet and wireless connected to same router at same time, only one at a time, your pc does not know which to take, wired or wireless [00:20] thirdwheel: I advise 8.04... installs better and no bugs [00:20] x0r: no error code, it hangs on "loading manual drivers" [00:20] so just disable the wired? [00:20] katafox - that is why it is confused.. [00:20] !who | katafox [00:20] katafox: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:20] arthus: better.. [00:20] Jack_Sparrow, what are those ?? [00:21] where do i find program files (eg where abouts would i look for a window asking for Pidgin). More helpful an answer would be... How is ubuntu directories structed compared to windows - c:\program files [00:21] x0r: I'm writing an error log on the ubuntu forum. Maybe someone recognize this. I've looked around but nothing is as crazy as my problem. But the last thing that should leave a person is hope :) [00:21] nathanhelp, It's most likely /usr/bin/pidgin [00:21] thirdwheel: 8.10 kinda s*ck actually and has many bugs during the install [00:21] nathanhelp, most programs install in either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [00:21] Firky, alsa and pulseaudio are the two different types os sound architecture for a better choice of words. /#alsa has a channel and #pulseaudio I think has one [00:21] MatBoy - i second that! [00:21] zoor: I was just writing about that, that you could show the xorg.conf to us :) [00:21] enerya: yes we did before ;) [00:21] Ahadiel, and thirdwheel thanks [00:21] thanks, i have a 8.04 dvd so i'll try that [00:22] x0r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94667/ [00:22] Hi, I could use some help with synamptic package manager [00:22] freq18hz: What's your question? [00:23] thirdwheel: good luck ! it will work :) [00:23] Jack_Sparrow: I hit the ctrl+alt+F2, it just goes into an extended boot process with a bunch of jibberish [00:23] zoor, nvidia and xinerama are a bad mix if you want to use effects [00:23] freq18hz: what do you need help with? [00:23] quest i am getting dell mini 9 in the morning i want to know is it possible to make my external harddrive be bootable with both the windowsxp install disk and the ubuntu live cd [00:23] freq18hz, my advice, don't use synaptic unless you HAVE to... as you can break your ubuntu pretty severely with misuse [00:23] i want to use one external to install both without haveing to go change it to other after i install one? [00:23] Flannel: im noticing that tons of things I am looking for are not coming up, irssi, tons of others, yet I can find them with apt-get [00:23] asdffdsas: That's wrong. [00:23] arthus, bunch of jibberish doesnt explain what it is telling you. either tell us what it says or read up so you can ask better questions [00:24] kaiser10123: I think you'll have a problem with doing that with xp... [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: i know, i'm getting you a paste [00:24] Flannel, synaptic IS dangerous and can screw your install up completely... that's WHY they added add/remove which won't let you break it so easy! [00:24] freq18hz: They use the same cache. Try hitting 'reload' (although, if theyre showing up in apt, youve likely already reloaded) [00:24] freq18hz: are you sure you have enabled all the repositories (universe, multiverse,) [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: ok.. But all I'd really want to is to get thus awful refresh rate thingy to get solved first. No meaning in getting effects if my eyes are so sore they cant even look at the screen :) [00:24] asdffdsas: here's a tip: don't delete things in synaptic when you don't know what they are [00:24] asdffdsas, Synaptic is not dangerous, unless YOU change the sources it uses [00:24] Flannel: I'm reinstalling with a MD with ext3 for /boot only ;) [00:24] asdffdsas: No, it can't break your installation. It can remove programs to your installation, but that's not breaking. [00:24] asdffdsas: they both use the same backend [00:25] sfer21: how big are the wubi partitions likr is there a 10gb and a 5gb? [00:25] freq18hz: How are you searching? [00:25] Flannel: I have hit reload, and it still does not come up. I have all the respositories checked in Software Sources [00:25] searching for ALL [00:25] quicksearch [00:25] sfer : example, You check to remove "java", and it removes half the software on your computer.. .it's easy to misuse! [00:25] maybe i can take the xp install in has and uninstall all the extra crap then do a wubi of xubuntu that is 10gb? [00:25] freq18hz, that's the problem, use the search button instead [00:25] Anyways, I've broken installs twice using synaptic, and I'm no idiot.. .was simply trying to remove somethign like java and it took half my software on the comp away [00:25] Jack_Sparrow: here's a photo: http://skitch.com/arthus/9i4i/cam [00:25] asdffdsas, Do you have a question.. chat is for other channels.. [00:25] freq18hz: You're just starting to type irssi with all of them listed? [00:26] Quick search is meant for searching INSIDE of your main search [00:26] zoor: install mesa-utils (if not already) and post command "glxinfo" and "glxgears" somewhere [00:26] im going to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 how can i save my bookmarks from firefox? [00:26] and give me the link [00:26] dummyhead31: Just for quickly skipping to something inside the main window. Regardless of search or not. [00:26] Flannel: I dont understand your question [00:26] Yes i do, Jack_Sparrow : How can I change X's resolution via the virtual terminal? The resolution is set to a HIGH undisplayable rate that the monitor cannot handle... I can get to a virtual terminal.. how can I set the resolutino back to say 800x600? [00:26] Diiphantom, for example from the bookmarks menu [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: what are the programs used for captureing audio via the command line? [00:27] ya sure [00:27] freq18hz: On the left thing, view "all" packages, then click back into the package listing, and type 'irs' [00:27] the last command it stalls at is "run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [00:27] freq18hz: It should skip to the packages beginning with those letters [00:27] mrwes: are you stil there? [00:27] x0r, yes [00:27] backup/import [00:27] zoor - thats not so bad, imagine back for the earlier folks, 9600 tty is considered fast :P console is okay for system management [00:27] FLannel: correct [00:27] asdffdsas: xrandr can do that for you [00:27] ozatomic, I am pushed for time, trying to make a dinner date.... I just wanted you to know they exist.... === fmartin is now known as altecom_ [00:27] enerya: haha well... :D [00:28] hspaans, I tried xrandr, but it told me "cannot open display" [00:28] Jack_Sparrow: np thanks [00:28] x0r: Sure.

[00:33] * MatBoy is kinda happy [00:33] k that worked [00:33] thanks [00:33] I have one other issue [00:34] pleas ubuntu packet-devs merge this packet to new version http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/vuze ?? [00:34] i installed a network adapter in my server, how do i know if i my kernel allready has the correct drivers? [00:34] sometimes with programs like pigin, or compiz advanced manager, windows will be too long verticall for my screen [00:34] ghostlines, short of rebooting and seeing if it picks it up? [00:34] ghostlines, google for model and see if its supported, then just modprobe the correct kernel module [00:35] badzero, you seem to be in the wrong place. this is a supporting help channel, it has nothing to do with packaging. please refer your request to #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-desktop [00:35] so I cant see the ok buttons....so if I drag the window up, it stops at the top panel, basically I can never see the bottom, I have to move to my bottom workspace to see the bottom of the window [00:35] ok sorry [00:35] when coming from suspension the wireless takes 20-30 seconds to connect. how can I force it to connect? [00:35] arthus: no one here needs to fix your issues, they may help [00:36] arthus: if you want dedicated support you need to pay canonical [00:36] I'm trying to install the latest version of empathy but it says I'm missing glib-gettext 2.2.0 or higher. What package do I need? (glib-gettext deosnt seem to exist) [00:36] with compiz management stuff, how do I get this spoken of cube? or is the reason I dont get it the fact my gfx card isnt the worlds best (but I get page flipping and windows effect, droplets, flames and all the other not that cool stuff) [00:36] I don't want dedicated support and I'm certainly not paying anybody [00:36] Flannel: any ideas on that one? [00:36] but there's no point to this channel if nobody wants to help fix issues [00:37] arthus, You are out of line.. and offtopic. Please stop [00:37] arthus: what [00:37] 's your issue? [00:37] arthus: no one can fix this issue only based on a screenshot, you need a bugreport for this [00:37] arthus: Unfortunately that's how it goes. You could try booting to an older kernel if it worked previously. [00:37] !patience|arthus [00:37] arthus: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:38] zoor: which linux do you have? [00:38] arthus: If its a regression, the bug fix should be relatively timely, but filing a proper bug report is the quickest way to get that to happen [00:38] x0r: ubuntu 8.10 [00:38] Flannel: any clue why Im having problems with windows being longer than my vertical resolution [00:38] ? [00:38] freq18hz: Nope [00:38] sfer21: when I try to boot, it fails on "run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [00:38] zoor: have you tried any other OSses on that PC? [00:39] Flannel: did you catch what I said above? [00:39] freq18hz: I did. [00:39] x0r: No. Not recently. [00:39] <_M4rk_> Hi all. I am running a ubuntu VPS and have 3 users. 1 is the root, 1 is my user ( as root is not recomended to use all time ) and another user ( lets call him Bob ). I am able to login with Bob to FTP but it gives access to everything on my server. I would like to limit this to only access files/folders in the directory " /home/mark/public_html/sitea.com/ ". Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks [00:39] ldiamond, search for something called "libgettext" [00:39] alright, well thanks so much for the help [00:39] I appreciate it [00:39] x0r: Well... Windows but no other linux distros that is [00:39] Flannel: the same system and kernel was working fine this morning, but I'd be happy to file a bug report. I just don't think there's any more info I could provide [00:39] x0r: the display is working fine in windows though [00:40] _M4rk: which ftp-server? [00:40] compengi, all I see is libgettextpo (and I have no idea what the po stands for) [00:40] how can I copy a protected dvd? [00:40] arthus: I wasn't really following the discussion, it's obviously not a kernel issue, but whatever else changed, etc. You likely could install the older version of whatever packages you've updated, they should still be in your cache. [00:40] is there anyways to speed up apt-get downloads by handpicking a server? [00:40] <_M4rk_> hspanns, Just using SSH as the FTP server [00:40] afeijo: if its not Sony's James Bond then mostly yes [00:41] hspaans: no [00:41] hspaans: a cartoon [00:41] ldiamond, what ubuntu release are you running? [00:41] compengi, and I cant install it either (it says I already have them) [00:41] Flannel: ok, but how do I install an older version if I can't boot? [00:41] compengi, 8.10 [00:41] wise you dont want to share with anyone else? you have to be special to cut in the line? [00:41] zoor: If it is important to clear this issue, could you show the xorg.conf? [00:41] ldiamond, chasing dependencies to install the latest release is beyond the scope of Ubuntu OS help and in many cases will trash your dependencies .. if not now.. at the next upgrade if not done right [00:41] hspaans: I have the original, wanna duplicate so my 3 y.o dougther can use it without risk the original, lol [00:41] afeijo: sudo dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/path/to/file.iso [00:41] hspaans: no iso :( [00:41] x0r: sure.

[00:53] kashanki, you can use mkisofs to create 9660 filesystem out of the pendrive [00:53] zoor: that should work, if your own confing has "screwed" your display :) [00:53] kashanki: start brasero, it can create an iso for you [00:53] compengi, I'm trying to build empathy, but the empathy package doesnt have the latest version. [00:54] kashanki, or brasero ^ [00:54] ok, il try brasero then and mkisofs too [00:54] compengi, I'm trying to build empathy, but the empathy package doesnt have the latest version. [00:54] kashanki: brasero uses mkisofs as a backend [00:54] hi all! I want to install package only available for debian. What should I choose? Etch or Sarge version?

For example, amarok, kaffeine, nautilus and kile don't open if I try to open them some hours after I logged on ubuntu. Does someone know why?

Never just use "sudo"!

[01:02] slart: yes [01:02] hi im trying to install ubuntu on an older computer. The Live CD hasnt worked because my CD drive doesnt like it for some reason. Ive been able to make a bootable copy on my hard drive and when Ubuntu starts i click installer. However when the installer gets to the partitioner, everything is gray. Anyone have a solution? [01:02] how do i find out if ethernet bridging is built into the kernel i am using? [01:02] hspaans, I just cant find this package [01:02] eduardopl, if you open a terminal and execute "top" that will give you your memory usage... [01:03] etyrnal, try using brutil [01:03] ldiamond: empathy in 8.10 is working [01:03] hckyplayer024, is this the same hard drive you are using to boot off? [01:03] x0r: irc itself doesn't do colours.. it's probably your client that makes certain lines colored.. like those containing your nick for example [01:03] yeah. [01:03] thanks compengi. [01:03] hspaans, this is an older version, I want the latest version that enables more features [01:03] stan, meaning... just try to use it, and if it works -- it's there? [01:03] Slart: so am I being black-blue? [01:03] etyrnal, sure? [01:03] hckyplayer024, yeah that would do it [01:04] ldiamond: you need ubuntu 9.04 for that [01:04] thirdwheel, I thought this was the problem but I have no other way to install it.... [01:04] nathanhelp, no problem :) [01:04] hckyplayer024, you can't really modify a hard drive that [01:04] stan, tring to troubleshoot a bridge [01:04] can someone give me a hand in working through this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [01:04] x0r: I don't know what kind of colours you're seening.. you're black on white on my screen.. except when you say Slart.. then your line gets orange on black [01:04] hckyplayer024, you can't really modify a hard drive that's in use [01:04] hckyplayer024, do you have another that you can use? [01:04] hspaans, there has to be a way for me to build their latest version with 8.10... [01:04] ldiamond, i think you should be fine downloading the build dependencies from repos. i believe this part is missing [01:04] none of the brctl docs explain how to check the kernel for ethernet bridging support [01:04] x0r: it's all configured in whatever client you're running [01:04] Slart: :o I'm seeing myself as gray only [01:04] thirdwheel, you mean install another harddrive into the computer and do it like that? [01:05] etyrnal, insmod /lib/modules/version/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko [01:05] compengi, I installed the package called "telepathy" which includes empathy... still cant build the newer version [01:05] ldiamond: say basicly you need gnome 2.26 for it [01:05] hspaans: dd says it is a directory, I need to create several isos one for each .vob? [01:05] Slart: thanks, I though I was just as "visitor" [01:05] compeng:i cant find it [01:05] hckyplayer024, yeah [01:05] afeijo: directory? [01:05] thirdwheel - ive tried to do it with my USB drive, but theres no option in my bios to boot from USB and the alternate CD doesnt work [01:05] when coming from suspension the wireless takes 20-30 seconds to connect. how can I force it to connect? [01:05] afeijo: please only post your command [01:06] hckyplayer024, is this a laptop or desktop? [01:06] ldiamond, do you understand that before building, you need to install specific dependencies for ubuntu from repos to be able to build it? [01:06] hspaans: sudo dd if=/media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS/ of=/home/feijo/panda.iso [01:06] buntoaster, how did you start your game? [01:06] afeijo: if=/dev/scd0 is you cdrom [01:06] thirdwheel its a desktop [01:06] compengi: it says found in user/local/games but i can't find the file [01:06] paranoid_ndroid - it has to search for strongest signal? perhaps removing it from roaming mode? [01:06] Yes, and I have absolutely no idea what dependencies I need. That's why I came here [01:06] x0r: it doesn't make a difference if you're registered or not.. of course, registering has other advantages such as "owning" a nickname [01:06] ( compengi ) Yes, and I have absolutely no idea what dependencies I need. That's why I came here [01:06] its in other [01:07] hspaans: no its not, it say io error [01:07] enerya, it's configured to automatically connect to one connection. It doesn't recognize anyother [01:07] afeijo, trying to make an iso of a movie? [01:07] buntoaster, type "locate " and it would list all the files having that name that you need [01:07] ldiamond: empathy is now part of gnome so you need to update large parts of gnome since a lot of libs are being updates for 2.26 [01:08] ldiamond, are you building "empathy" or "telepathy" [01:08] paranoid_ndroid - yes, and how many modes a +b +g +n ? [01:08] sloopy: yes, or just duplicate the dvd video [01:08] compengi: in terminal? [01:08] afeijo: then its a no go area [01:08] buntoaster, sure [01:08] compengi, telepathy includes empathy from what I've seen [01:08] thirdwheel- i was thinking of removing the hard drive and putting it into another computer and using that CD drive to install onto the harddrive. but thats a last resort. Do you know how to make the Live CD just work? === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [01:08] paranoid_ndroid - i say you just have to learn to be patient [01:08] ldiamond: what features are you missing btw? [01:08] afeijo, drop the VIDEO_TS part and then it will make an iso of the dvd [01:08] enerya, it connects automatically [01:08] hckyplayer024, what happens when you use the live cd? [01:08] ldiamond, what's the package name you are building? [01:08] hspaans, I dont seem to be able to receive offline messages [01:08] Does anyone have some availabilty to just help explain things when i come up them, if i dont understand them? I'm working through this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [01:08] stan, so "/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko" -- would seem to indicate i have it then -- sorry for the n00bishness [01:09] sloopy: I did try it first, Ill try again [01:09] ldiamond: for which protocol? [01:09] paranoid_ndroid - so its a non-issue [01:09] enerya, I'm sure there's a command that I can write [01:09] says its in usr file [01:09] hspaans, msn and gtalk (jabber) irrc [01:09] it's linux :p [01:09] sloopy: it says is a directory and dont start [01:09] buntoaster, then it's there [01:09] :) [01:09] sloopy: sudo dd if=/media/cdrom0 of=/home/feijo/panda.iso [01:09] compengi, I'm trying to build empathy [01:09] ldiamond: msn is libpurple and there is no complete support for it yet === Andry_afK is now known as Andry [01:09] compengi, I'm not sure what you mean... [01:10] ldiamond, then 'sudo apt-get install build-dep empathy' [01:10] afeijo: you need to use the DEVICE and that is /dev/scd0 for most people [01:10] paranoid_ndroid - try ifdown and ifup [01:10] hi all [01:10] hspaans: if its not scd0 here, how to find it out? [01:10] how can i set up a extender display? onto a nother screen [01:10] compengi, E: Couldn't find package build-dep [01:10] is there any way to non-destructively upgrade? [01:10] thirdwheel, it just says that the disk is unvalid. but it works on other computers just fine. Im pretty sure its something with the CD drive [01:10] compengi:how do i delete? no rite click delete [01:10] afeijo: see which device is mounted on /media/cdrom with mount [01:10] hey, I still have 2 pyhton version (2.5, 3.0). How can I remove just the other one, as when I try, I get a huge list of programs to be removed too. How can I remove only the other Python. Removing normally will even remove my xubuntu-desktop, as that uses Python too.. [01:11] arthus - why do you insist on upgrading? [01:11] I can't get my CD rom to working [01:11] ldiamond, sorry 'sudo apt-get build-dep empathy' [01:11] hckyplayer024, could well be, do you have a cd drive you can throw in? [01:11] enerya: or reinstall, I guess [01:11] compengi, There seem to be quite a lot of dependencies (102MB) === Andry is now known as Andry_Sleeping [01:11] buntoaster, you can only delete it from terminal by: 'sudo rm /path/to/file' [01:11] arthus - a fresh install is preferable [01:11] hspaans: /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro,utf8,user=feijo) [01:11] how can i set up a extenderd display? onto a nother screen [01:11] ldiamond, install them :D [01:11] weird [01:12] I can't get my CD rom to working, however I already got an old version installed of Ubuntu 6.04, can I install a new version of Ubuntu from within X? [01:12] so I have to lose all my data/work? [01:12] all: oh-my-god, is my problem this hard? [01:12] ldiamond, pidgin has quiet a lot too ;) [01:12] it should be mounted or not? [01:12] i can't seem to get my dvd drive to show up. where do i start looking? [01:12] Is there a way to view the contents of a zip file without installing any other programs or extracting it? [01:12] x0r, what is your problem? [01:12] x0r - yes because there are many dependencies on python [01:12] afeijo: should not matter [01:12] Flynsarmy: you just need to install zip and unzip then the archive manager can take care of it [01:12] isnt there a IM prog out there that works with sound, video and offline messages? [01:12] ahehe. Why does this come up when i just type gedit? "(gedit:8515): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [01:12] " === polystyr1s is now known as polystyrus [01:12] repost: hey, I still have 2 pyhton version (2.5, 3.0). How can I remove just the other one, as when I try, I get a huge list of programs to be removed too? How can I remove only the other Python? Removing normally will even remove my xubuntu-desktop, as that uses Python too.. [01:13] ldiamond: no [01:13] x0r, is it a problem having more than one version of python? [01:13] yes [01:13] abarbaccia, sorry i meant from the command line [01:13] compengi: ty [01:13] Flynsarmy - if you had the jar a java archiving tool, you can use it like tar tvf file.zip [01:13] Flynsarmy: sudo apt-get install unzip then unzip [01:13] ldiamond: you best hope is telepathy in the near future [01:13] x0r, care to elaborate? [01:13] abarbaccia, that extracts it. i want to view the contents without extracting [01:13] abarbaccia - there is jar to do those kind of work [01:13] ldiamond, 'amsn' is for only msn though, and it's not stable. pidgin supports multi-protocols and offline messages, but not vv [01:14] thirdweel: heh, what does that mean :) [01:14] ldiamond: but don't expect video/audio support for msn and gtalk for now [01:14] x0r, why is having two versions of python a problem? [01:14] buntoaster, you are welcome ::) [01:14] thirdwheel, im trying to look for one. do you have any other way for me to get ubuntu onto my computer [01:14] energY, tar tvf test.zip: This does not look like a tar arachive [01:14] ?if i boot from another partition would that work [01:14] Flynsarmy - jar not tar [01:14] thirdweel: low memory :o [01:14] Flynsarmy: sorry i misunderstood ur question [01:15] Flynsarmy: ? [01:15] I guess I'll have to create my own Video/Audio conference app then... [01:15] enerya, bah. too complicated. i'll just install atool and type 'als test.zip' which does the trick [01:15] ldiamond, instead of that, help already built applications on that task :D [01:16] Hey, I have a usb device and in lsusb it shows up, how do I mount it? [01:16] Flynsarmy - the less you learn about tar or jar, is to your disadvanage :P [01:16] ldiamond, 'amsn' supports video conference as far as i know. but it's buggy [01:16] I cannot boot. System fails at "Loading manual drivers..." [01:16] thirdweel: ehm... can I not remove either pythons :(? [01:16] hckyplayer024, i'm not sure sorry, if you have another hard drive you can throw in to put the live cd stuff on you could do it that way [01:16] x0r: you can't just replace python 2.5 with python 3 you installed from outside the package system, so many things on your system rely on python 2.5 [01:17] yeah ill try that. but for sure its not seeing the partitions because im booting off the same hard drive right? I just wanted to make sure? thanks thirdwheel [01:17] jtaji: both pythons are installed on synaptics [01:17] hckyplayer024, yep that would be it, no worries [01:17] Hey, I have a usb device and in lsusb it shows up, how do I mount it? [01:17] can someone give me a hand in working through this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900.

[01:17] x0r, you didn't answer my question - why is having two versions of python a problem?

[01:19] because if it's not running it's not using memory [01:20] how can I make a HFS partition within Ubuntu [01:20] ? [01:20] thanks again compengi I think I'll give you a kiss later ;) [01:20] jtaji: I have no swap. still the same reason; low memory [01:20] nathanhelp, hehe.. i wish you luck later with your guide ;) [01:20] heyyy [01:21] x0r: it is what you're running not what has been installed [01:21] hspaans: now you confused me completely [01:21] x0r: and no swap means in your case? [01:21] zc00gii: Install hfsprogs, it will give you the tools needed for creating HFS, etc. [01:21] to all: I mean I have low disk space [01:21] can someone help me with an openoffice question? [01:21] guys has anyone tried nvidia's driver 180.xx ???? [01:21] to all: that's what I mean with low memory [01:22] x0r: you mean with the command df?

[01:27] gap: 2000+ fps? that is HUGE! [01:27] amarok is bloqued and do not respond..can i reset it? [01:27] Can I load initrd, etc. for doing a netboot installation from within my old system so I do not need to use the CD-ROM reader?

[01:28] etyrnal, and that be? [01:28] jeff__, correct [01:28] oh crap... [01:28] yeah i wanna know too [01:28] zc00gii: That's odd a man page wasn't installed along with the command. Here's a paste of it: http://pastebin.com/d1988dde9 [01:28] thanks! [01:29] unop_, i have a machine that i am trying to give LAN/inet access via eth1 on my Ubuntu box -- eth0 has LAN and inet [01:29] Hmm Ubuntu is very interesting [01:29] could someone direct me to page showing all the commands in here? (e.g. /join -room-, /me -text-) [01:29] iscrat, in terminal>edit>profiles>edit>general>uncheck 'Terminal bell' [01:29] I heard that Ubuntu doesn't like raid :P [01:29] hello everyone, I just build a new PC, I created a install cd 64 bit 8.10, when I try to boot from it, I get nothing but a screen of I/O buffer error [01:29] Kubuntu is addictive [01:29] http://p.opsat.net/v/1l2 - any idea why this happens with msttcorefonts? [01:30] etyrnal, ok - and i assume eth0 and eth1 are part of the bridge? [01:30] qwexe1: sounds like the issue i had, try reburning the cd with a fixed lower speed [01:30] ls there any user who use amarokultracover? [01:30] energY, nay - ubuntu 8+ [01:30] unop_, yes [01:30] I fell asleep here the other night i was on fire to do so much haning in there till the last drop [01:30] w3wsrmn, what is special device? [01:30] Now back to the question! My webcam picture is upside down how can I fix that? [01:30] etyrnal, what ip address did you give the bridge interface? is any? [01:30] anyone tried ubuntu 9 ? [01:30] any work on gnome3 or is that just a rumor [01:30] word* [01:30] ok, this is 2 separate cd's, one worked fine on another pc [01:30] is it the devce I want to install it to?(eg: /dev/sda2) [01:30] unop_, it got 192.168.69.44 [01:30] the alpha version [01:30] gap, #ubuntu+1 for that [01:31] olskolirc: 3.0 comes after 2.28 [01:31] zc00gii: That would be the device where you wish to create the HFS... [01:31] oh i don't know hspaans im on Kubuntu [01:31] etyrnal, ok, the host (s) on the eth1 side have what IP addresses? [01:31] jomlo [01:31] I can't stand ubuntu [01:31] unop_, 192.168.69.* [01:31] w3wsrmn, partition aswell correct? [01:31] jomblo [01:31] compengi - thanks! [01:31] Anyone have a fix for a webcam upside down? [01:31] to all: hey, seriously: Where can I see all the chat commands?! [01:31] I test drove kde4.2.....buggy........gorgeous though comes out at the end of January [01:31] iscrat, welcome :) [01:31] etyrnal, and the eth0 side? [01:32] I have an Asus G1S ! [01:32] lukasz: Turn it around [01:32] 192.168.69.* [01:32] olskolirc: basicly an API-break moment, so 3.0 is about 18 months away [01:32] oops [01:32] energY, i was going to say that [01:32] damn tab [01:32] etyrnal, ok, can hosts on the eth1 side ping hosts on the eth0 side? [01:32] zc00gii: No, you only have to specify the device, eg /dev/sdaX [01:32] energY how do I do that? [01:32] 2010 I heard hspaans I can't find a youtube on it...check out its credibility [01:32] lukasz: intall "cheese webcam booth" and select the upside down effect.... :) [01:32] lukasz: You take the webcam, and flip it over so the top is down. [01:32] w3wsrmn, that includes the partition, where X is the partition [01:32] ok [01:33] etyrnal: I am fastest! [01:33] I am installing kopete atm [01:33] olskolirc: 2.26 comes in march 2009, 2.28 in sep 2009, and 3.0 in march 2010 [01:33] unop_, the only host on the eth1 side is directly connected to eth1 via ethernet cable and is headless - it was working when connected into the LAN inanopther room however [01:33] energY, i thought it's shipped by default with GNOME :| [01:33] olskolirc: do you use Windows more than Linux? [01:33] I am going to try to get the exact error before I bug you guys again, bbl [01:33] I don't have windows except in vbox [01:34] i just don't use ubuntu im on kubuntu [01:34] olskolirc: and its not going to be a KDE3.0 or KDE4.0 moment luckily [01:34] I will have to install drivers as well, I will do that asap [01:34] etyrnal, i seem to be asking too many question and getting nowhere :) tell me your problem and anything that can help support troubleshooting it. [01:34] unop_, in another room -- on a real switch - but i have to locate the machine in this room now, and the only available port is the space NIC (eth1) on the ubuntu box =) [01:34] kde4.2 comes out in a month hspaans [01:34] olskolirc: I wouldn't decide something is bad, if I only use alpha or beta version.. [01:34] its in beta now hspaans [01:34] oh I didn't say it was bad. x0r I fell in love with it [01:35] olskolirc: :) [01:35] how can the kde team do better than 4.2 [01:35] unop_, just trying to get the 2 nics on the unubtu box to be bridged such that the machine dangling off eth1 can see the rest of the lan/inet connected to eth0 [01:35] x0r: try writing /help in your client.. [01:35] I hope you guys fix mirrors soon for Ubuntu 8.04 TLS [01:35] Some of them are slow :( [01:35] etyrnal, well .. that's what i asked - can hosts on the eth0 side ping this host ? [01:35] im bored [01:35] lukasz, what happened with the web cam? [01:36] Holdon I cannot do that atm [01:36] Slart: well that answer have to be really be a very difficult to write, as nobody else didn't have the time to even start writing that! [01:36] I am installing kopete [01:36] olskolirc: kde is a dead end because of qt :( (this is due to there dependens on a commercial third party that needs to make money) === inx-live is now known as mdg [01:36] How can I start an app via ssh, and have it pop up on the current machine? As in how can I ssh into a PC and have my SSH start mplayer with a movie? [01:36] unop_, sorry - no they can not -- i thought You were asking if the host on the eth1 side could [01:36] Hopefully this solution will work for kopete :D [01:36] I remember it was Display=:0.0 mplayer /path/to/file or something, but not sure the exact syntax [01:37] : where can I test the commands? [01:37] etyrnal, can the headless host ping the bridge - can the other hosts ping the bridge? [01:37] unop_, i get 'destination host unreachable' [01:37] bobbob1016, ssh is a secure shell, you can work with it only in frames everything that can be done in text mode. no visual. [01:37] x0r: I don't think people are lazy.. it's just that when someone asks questions like that it kind of shows they haven't used google.. haven't read the documentation etc.. so if you answer that question they will just keep on asking about trivial stuff [01:37] where is stored what i download with wget? [01:37] * olskolirc still trying to get over them taking xmms and now hes trying to kill kde [01:38] nachohi88, Whatever directory you ran it from. [01:38] unop_, all the devices on the LAN side (eth0) can ping the ubuntu box (bridge) [01:38] Slart and to all: I'm not that kinda noob [01:38] they better not EVER discontinue kde [01:38] it won't happen [01:38] how do i fix the bluetooth "obex push not supported" problem? [01:38] olskolirc: xmms is being dropped upstream by debian [01:38] what does that mean hspaans [01:38] x0r: here's a first tip.. write your question in google.. see if you get any good hits.. if the first hit answers it you shouldn't have to ask it [01:39] olskolirc: that means it will also disappear from ubuntu unless they have to much time and money [01:39] unop_, could this just be a simple issue of not having a crossover cable? [01:39] Slart: yes, google is our friend.. [01:39] how do i fix the bluetooth "obex push not supported" problem? [01:39] guys can someone explain how to edit the vertical and horizontal refresh rate ?? because I was experimenting with wobbly windows the other day and I found out that if i move a window up and down, the animation is very smooth, but if i move it sideways, a very annoying tearing is showing up across the window... [01:39] but kde 4.2 isn't out yet and the beta is hot hspaans :-( [01:39] this is sad for me [01:39] x0r: and there's usually a channel called #test for testing stuff [01:40] gap: could you show the wobbly windows settings? [01:40] if im stuck with gnome im beating the s* out of tux [01:40] etyrnal, you don't seem to answer all my questions. If a host is connected directly to another, you need a cross over cable connecting them. [01:40] olskolirc: kde will never be out of beta, since they need to change there code and api every couple of years [01:40] hi, how can i disable all additional workspaces? [01:40] unop_, sounds like a stupid question, BUT all my other machines are Apple and they have ethernet ports that automatically compensate/configure for a situation wherein crossover is needed [01:40] olskolirc: KDE wouldn't even be here, if there wouldn't be so many windows users. Gnome is meant to be the most-linux, if compared with KDE [01:41] its stable hspaans Im just not with this plasma bleeding even in the 4.1 right now [01:41] etyrnal, can you ping the headless machine from the bridge (or vice versa) ? [01:41] HI can anyone offer me some assitance with 8.10 [01:41] xor: wobbly windows was an example... another example is when I turn the desktop cube I get the same results... [01:41] unop_, the only question i can not answer directly, is that the host on the eth1 side has NO keyboard, mouse, or monitor [01:41] x0r, they share the same things [01:41] CrazyDiamond: let's hear it [01:41] I just like more control over my gui and gnome doesn't give it to me [01:41] unop_, i can NOT ping the headless machine from the bridge. [01:41] unop_, cross over cables are needed when you want 2 pc's directly connected between each other, when there's a hub between them, then you'd need straight through cable to connect them [01:41] Finally Kopete is installing :D [01:41] olskolirc: yes, but the look is different.. [01:41] my user switcher panel applet keeps crashing all i want to do is put it in the panel so i can see my name and have the options to log off ec [01:42] compengi, that's what i said. [01:42] yesh x0r thats why im not on gnome...I hate the look [01:42] xor: what option in wobbly windows are you looking for ??? [01:42] unop_, the headless machine's MAC doesn;t show in brctl showmacs br0 [01:42] also im gettin an annoyin system beep on occasions id like that stopping also :P [01:42] ive been with kde since red hat 6.2 [01:42] olskolirc: windowzz user! [01:42] tried enlightenmet for a while [01:42] What are popular linux games that are out their [01:42] CrazyDiamond: the system beep can be shut off in system, preferences, sound.. something like use system alert [01:42] others, blackbox [01:42] i live kde [01:43] !games | Slack_ [01:43] Slack_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [01:43] x0r, I havn't been a windows user in 12 years [01:43] etyrnal, did you add eth1 to the bridge ?? [01:43] <[[thufir]]> I'm in the live cd, installing, and am at using the scripted install. How do I ensure that sda is untouched and only sdb is changed in terms of partitions? I'm a bit wary of data loss. [01:43] you was probably in grade school then [01:44] Slart, i thought you were asking the question about popular linux games. nick "Slack" seemed similar to you :P [01:44] Slack: http://rangit.com/software/top-8-linux-games-of-2007/ [01:44] Hi [01:44] :) [01:44] unop_, yes - i did brctl addif eth0 and i did the same for eth1 then ifconfig br0 up [01:44] oslkolirc: *you misled the path of destiny, it is inevitable..* [01:44] Ok Now the problem is Kopete is upside down [01:44] i read one site i can do it in terminal the system beep but i get errors [01:44] im using ubuntu 8.10 btw [01:44] compengi: hehe.. just talking to myself.. nothing to see.. move on =) [01:44] I chose effects and it worked but Kopete still seems upisde down [01:44] etyrnal, ok, and brtcl show br0 verifies that? [01:44] I liked debian too [01:44] hehe [01:44] unop_, yes - absolutely [01:44] olskolirc: its not funny to see your bugfixes disappear (and appear) due to rewrites. it happend to me both with KDE1 and KDE2 [01:44] i left debian and got ubuntu then kubuntu [01:44] I try to install wingware with the deb file but it not working any ideas? [01:44] f***, my Windows need to be freaken rebooted [01:44] unop_, i was following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [01:45] etyrnal, without the bridge interface - can this machine ping the headless machine? [01:45] needs* [01:45] really hspaans ? [01:45] who can recomend software for creating a video consisting of a still image and some sound? stopmotion doesn't seem to be working as it should.

[01:45] etyrnal, but not when connected directly ? [01:45] does anyone know anything about deb file? [01:45] I dont like that we don't have a choice [01:45] MatBoy: is that good or bad?

[01:45] hspaans: kde 1 and 2 was pretty long time ago.. the coders were less-skilled [01:46] unop_, yes - had not tried that specific test [01:46] MatBoy: A lot bether than xp at least. [01:46] Is there a solution for kopete upside down webcam?

[01:46] energY: the default install is faster, but U installed all additional software and made all settings that I need :) [01:46] compengi, I did it before, I don't mean I want to get gui through the terminal. I have an ubuntu box hooked up to my TV, and I want to SSH into it, and start videos with mplayer to play on the same machine that I went into with SSH [01:46] unop_, can't ping it [01:47] x0r: has nothing todo with less-skilled, more with morons from trolltech but this goes offtopic [01:47] i did that and nouthing happons.

I'm supposed to be downloading at 400kps but I'm getting 50kps [01:53] olskolirc: isn't there linux convertion? [01:53] It sure shows that way in Kopete [01:53] perlsyntax: some programs create shortcuts in weird places that don't end up in the menus [01:53] ok, i had an app running and either jack or qjackctl or the app crashed and i now have 3 copies of qjackctl that are stuck in "D" - any clue how i can kill them?

BUMP(!) pay for it....? [01:54] tonsofpcs, ps aux | grep then when you'd get it's pid, 'kill -9 ' [01:54] Slart, you there [01:54] paltalk gave macintrash and linux paltalk but we have to go through the web site to log in which im already spoiled to the download [01:54] i have a 16gb flash drive how can i turn it into 160gb?

[01:55] smart )) [01:55] so paltalk was never going to give linux ppl paltalk b/c they are afraid that we will tear up their servers and now they give us a half a* paltalk through the browser and no sound [01:55] software is like sex, it's best when it's free [01:55] it is called snowballz [01:55] perlsyntax: here's some reading material.. read it http://www.wingware.com/downloads/wingide-personal/3.1.6-1/docs [01:55] !offtopic [01:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:56] merther: the mirror even [01:56] omg x0r [01:56] :D [01:56] perlsyntax: you've installed software from a website.. it's not in the official repositories.. we have no way of knowing what it does, how it works, if it works, how to configure it etc.. you'll have to ask the people who supplied the software to you [01:56] if you have windows in vmware or vbox, download it [01:56] yanom, do you have it installed? [01:56] merther: Go to software sources (in System> administartion) and Select a different server, there is a button to choose the best server for you [01:56] you will lose your underground mind x0r [01:56] yes [01:56] i really have no problem with them running, but I can't get any audio out :( [01:56] i got it from the repositorys [01:56] olskolirc: I have windows primarly [01:57] why x0r ? [01:57] checking [01:57] I have trained so many ppl to linux who have never heard of it x0r on paltalk [01:57] xorl, olskolirc please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:57] olskolirc too slow PC to have virtual pC [01:57] merther: the NL-mirror has multiple gigabit connections, just a minor hint [01:57] oops [01:57] sorryy [01:57] should we join (/join #ubuntu-offtopic, is it)? [01:58] dual boot x0r [01:58] shhhh [01:58] bazhang, might see that [01:58] ok im done [01:58] k [01:58] random download online is topping at 182 KB/sec better at least. I'm checking that other mirror now [01:58] Maybe its cause Kopete is not a good program hmm [01:59] kopete sux [01:59] merther: 32.7 kB/s = 32.7 kilo-bytes per second.. which is the same as 32.7 * 8 kbit/s = 261 kbit/s [01:59] i like pidgeon [01:59] olskolirc, pidgin [01:59] Hi. Anyone know a good way to run ubnuntu without a monitor? When I try doing this, I get a message from x/ GDM saying that it can not detect the proper refresh rates, etc. There's a lot on the forums and google about it but what I've tried so far didn't work. [01:59] merther: unless I've got the units mixed up [01:59] gottcha [01:59] yeah that [02:00] does anyone know why my snowballz crashes with an xfree86 error? [02:00] too bad though cause windows'll do 400 instead of 200 [02:00] moj0rising: What are you trying to do with it? (is it a server or what?) [02:00] merther: are you talking to me? [02:00] yanom, reconfigure your xserver [02:01] snowballz is an RTS game. [02:01] moj0rising, if you want to run it without monitor, why do you need xorg-server or gdm/ [02:01] Slart: ya, I'm checking that other mirror ant it seems to be downloading now at 509 kB/s. Much better [02:01] flannel, it is a server and a mythbuntu box... [02:01] Anyone here familiar with setting up a Nintendo WiiMote under Ubuntu?? [02:01] ...I want it to be able to boot without a monitor for when I just want to use it for serving files and playing music [02:01] !anyone | Zombie [02:01] System should be updated in 13 minutes instead of 3 hours now. Thanks much guys [02:01] Zombie: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:02] hey [02:02] merther: ah.. well.. mirrors can be overloaded, cables can be broken etc etc but there should be at least one or two mirrors with reasonable speeds [02:02] moj0rising, why ubuntu-desktop then? i think ubuntu-server is much lighter than desktop [02:02] ...in the future, I'll hook a projector to it but for now, I want it to be headless and accepting remote x sessions and/ or vnc sessions.

[02:03] I'll put it back to the Canada one when I'm done. the Main one is the one I'm on now. [02:03] Zombie: It's extremely. What are you trying to do with the wiimote?

[02:07] ubottu: about yourself tell [02:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:07] slart not the search box, the ad ddress box, it used to defaul to google [02:07] lolll [02:08] ac3_0f_spad3s: that's your username. Not roots username. You don't need to change the root username, because you don't need to log in as root. [02:08] man wow, flash 10 is damn fast on 64 bits [02:08] never seen it that fast before !! [02:08] how do you change your username? [02:08] sorush20, ubuntu-restricted-extras contains everything you need [02:08] hi all [02:08] ac3_0f_spad3s: I believe if you bring up users and groups you can do it there. You can also use usermod to do it. [02:08] ac3_0f_spad3s, you can't change your username, you can create a new one instead [02:08] can anyone help me out with getting a laptop webcam working? [02:09] can anyone help me out? [02:09] compengi: That's entirely not true [02:09] When I looked at xorg.conf, I found it to be very sparse compared with every other xorg.conf file I've seen. It doesn't have any information on resolution or refresh rates in it. I guess that's done automatically on boot in intrepid and that might be why I'm having a problem. [02:09] Flannel, you can? [02:09] compengi: Of course [02:09] i got someone nosin around in my sys and i found hidden pid's [02:09] Flannel: will i have to start from scratch? [02:09] * MatBoy is happy with flash 10 !!! [02:09] Flannel, never new that [02:09] compengi: you may not be able to do it while you're logged in as yourself though. [02:09] ac3_0f_spad3s: No, you just have to change your username.

[02:12] yeah [02:12] not bad [02:12] yes, try #gentoo [02:12] chilli0: that's okay. try doing this: unplug the cam (betting it's usb, right?).. open a console and type sudo dmesg | tail -f ...then plug the cam back in. Do you see anything in the console when you do that? [02:12] takes long to install stuff [02:12] moj0rising: its a laptop webcam built in [02:12] have to compile evrything [02:12] even if you are a leet? x) [02:12] hi, what do i need to do to get my sd card reader to automount sd cards?

[02:18] checkin again [02:18] ac3_0f_spad3s: not by default, you could add it (see DenyHosts). But still, you should have a strong password regardless of brute force protection [02:18] hmm [02:18] <[[thufir]]> it's the strangest thing.

[02:19] <\kira> hspaans: Ill keep that in mind [02:19] moj0rising, I asked him nicely to stop .. as it was not relevant or correct.

[02:20] Flannel: why would you need a strong password even with brute force protection? [02:20] <\kira> Slart: I know, what I mean is: The user thats being kicked, I dont care about his data. But could he damage the executionables he is running? [02:20] x0r: nah.. it's just a floodbot.. the ban keeps him from spamming any more.. he'll be unbanned in a minute or so [02:20] x0r, I thought you was on windows [02:21] what desktop do you use x0r [02:21] I don't know how to uninstall the VMWare Player from my system.

I will still have vmware files all throughout my system [02:29] <[[thufir]]> Slart: domain vs.shawcable.net and some other info [02:30] Susie: yes, remove the vmware files, but double--check to remove only them [02:30] what are you trying to connect to the localhost with? [02:30] [[thufir]]: no lines that start with "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx" ? [02:30] <[[thufir]]> I think that domain is wrong, though, I thought it was something else. [02:30] [[thufir]]: can you ping any other domains? [02:30] thunderird [02:30] Susie, though, system files aren't allowed to be removed without root [02:30] do you have an http server running? [02:31] x0r: Actually, I checked and there are no vmware files in the /boot directory. There are in the /etc/init.d /usr/lib and several others [02:31] <[[thufir]]> nameserver 64.59.144.16 and .17 [02:31] apache2 [02:31] [[thufir]]: can you ping those? [02:31] i have problem about apt-get. apt-get can not handle http 302. [02:31] <[[thufir]]> doh, will try that. [02:31] have you checked the config files to make sure that it's listening on localhost and port 80? [02:31] [[thufir]]: that looks right. I have shaw too and that's what my router's resolv.conf file has (similar, actually -- nameserver 64.59.144.92 nameserver 64.59.144.93) [02:32] i have problem about apt-get. apt-get can not handle http 302. [02:32] Susie, delete them [02:32] <[[thufir]]> 100% packet loss for both. [02:32] <[[thufir]]> moj0rising: ah, good to know :) [02:32] x0r: All of them? Will that uninstall it successfully? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think that's how it worked [02:33] yeah. :) you can try making a backup of your resolv.conf and putting those dns servers in there if ya like [02:33] that might work for you. [02:33] yes and on my firewall port 80 is fine [02:33] i sent you a pm [02:33] [[thufir]]: ok.. let's try this.. "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" and change that first nameserver line to use 208.67.222.222 instead of whatever is there now [02:33] Susie: yeah you shouldn't do that, have you tried going into Synaptic and searching and removing all vmware packages? [02:33] [[thufir]]: that's one of the opendns servers.. [02:33] just changed video cards, i'm seeing a max res of 800x600, how can i fix this? [02:34] Hello everyone, I recently just set an Ubuntu server acting as a router for my home network. I have everything working, but I am having problems with ufw. I open a port for example: 6113 yet that port is still blocked. Is anyone able to help with this issue? [02:34] i have problem about apt-get. apt-get can not handle http 302. anyone have some ideas? [02:34] Susie, if remove complete remove through synaptic or terminal is done, you have no choice but to manually remove [02:34] [[thufir]]: then save the file and close the editor [02:34] <[[thufir]]> Slart: ok [02:34] jtaji: I have, and all vmware packages are not installed [02:34] Susie: or you could figure out what package an installed file is from with dpkg -S path/to/file [02:34] Guest44550, check /etc/httpd for the config file, read it, there are explanations [02:34] well dis is neat [02:35] jtaji: Let me try that. [02:35] leon: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [02:35] "leaving" [02:36] jtaji: I can't seem to find the file of the program itself. There are so many vmware files to hunt through [02:36] Flannel, nice c u again. my ubuntu is v810. [02:36] <[[thufir]]> Slart: thanks [02:36] leon: Odd. What repos are giving you a 302? [02:36] Guest44550, cd to /etc/http or httpd, I forget, then do an "ls" to see the files there [02:36] Susie: how about the ones in /etc/init.d or /usr/lib you mentioned? [02:36] [[thufir]]: it works now? [02:36] tonsofpc1: you can try backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then runnning sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg as specified in the first few lines of the xorg.conf file. [02:37] Flannel, i add part iii respos , such as wicd [02:37] tonsofpc1: make sure you back up the conf file 1st though. [02:37] [[thufir]]: now, this isn't a lasting solution.. it might break the next time you update your ip from the dhcp server.. or it might break the next time you restart.. so write down that ip number so you can do this again [02:37] jtaji: The ones I am trying give the result of "dpkg: *filename* not found [02:37] leon: You'd just have to resolve the 302 manually then. I imagine apt won't honor 302s for security purposes [02:37] Guest44550, if /etc/httpd does not exist, then apache is not installed. Did you install it with apt-get? [02:38] When will ubuntu's sources pick up mysql 5.1? [02:38] (or /etc/http) I forget [02:38] Hello everyone, I recently just set an Ubuntu server acting as a router for my home network. I have everything working, but I am having problems with ufw. I open a port for example: 6113 yet that port is still blocked. Is anyone able to help with this issue? [02:38] draginxx: perhaps in the next version? ubuntu doesn't usually upgrade packages in a release [02:38] huh [02:38] <[[thufir]]> Slart: yes, works for now. thanks very much. [02:38] tonsofpc1: also remember that messing with that can make your video situation worse -- no GUI at all if you mess it up. If that happens, log in text mode and move your backup xorg.conf file back where it was and run the "reboot" command. [02:39] JCusick, not true for ubuntu, /etc/apache2/* is the config (and httpd.conf is normally empty) [02:39] is my system really compromise [02:39] yes i installed it with get apt-install [02:39] draginxx: unless it's some kind of small security fix or such [02:39] patb, YES. [02:39] Flannel, but why the repos provider such respons that need http 302. [02:39] nickrud, thanks [02:39] JCusick, Guest44550: it's /etc/apache2/ [02:39] moj0rising: yup, i figured as much [02:39] Slart, oh, is there a launchpad source for MySQL then? There's got to be a way to keep up [02:39] tonsofpc1: cool. I'm betting the reconfigure routine will work for ya. good luck. [02:39] leon: No idea. You said it was a third party repository? You'd have to check it out with them [02:40] draginxx: there is a backports repository.. no guarantee that it will show up there though [02:40] /etc/apache2/: is a directory [02:40] !backports | draginxx [02:40] draginxx: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [02:40] Guest44550: do this: `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` Does it give you any errors? [02:40] thanks mate :) [02:40] gonna roll. later, everyone. [02:40] JCusick, if you're familiar with apache, you'll find the config broken up into various files under /etc/apache2; a2enmod/a2dismod and a2ensite/a2dissite enable/disable [02:40] how do i do a chown again? i need to change ownership of something from root to another user [02:40] hey i have the mplayer plugin for mozilla, is there any better plugin that i can get to play streaming mms video?

[02:46] either imap, pop, etc [02:46] Slart: i foresee this needing a bit of a lerning curve :( [02:46] Hello guys, i have a little problem, recently i have uninstalled accidently a library of my video driver from the terminal, how can i undo that uninstallation? [02:47] Kadko: Just reinstall it [02:47] can someone help me with bluetooth [02:47] gnu.org has the "books" for both sed and awk and they'reboth pretty good [02:47] that's correct pop and smtp are fine and green lighted just on my hotmail account can't connect [02:47] likewise is telling me Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047] [02:47] I'm not sure that hotmail allows that [02:47] KenBW22: a quick example.. say I want to change all "Alabama" to "Washington" in a textfile called cities.txt.. I could do this by running the following command in a terminal, "cat cities.txt | sed s/Alabama/Washington/ >newfile.txt" [02:47] what would make my live CD not boot and give buffer I/O error message? === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb [02:48] so i switched video cards, new card is only showing 800x600 available, hwo can i fix this? [02:48] maybe pop. go to the hotmail site for help [02:48] Slart: is it like grep wher it takes one line at a time? [02:48] KenBW22: cat just prints out a file.. then it pipes it to sed, sed changes stuff.. and at last we send it all to a new file called newfile.txt [02:48] I've never used thunderbird for hotmail, only gmailand my own imap server [02:48] need help downloading AIM [02:48] Guest44550: hotmail doesnt allow other clients than something from mickeysoft. [02:48] Yes but it doesnt install again because i have typed the name wrong on terminal for example Aptitude install gtkspell and the terminal uninstalled a program called nvidia-xconfig and i acepted that because i havent read only press Y [02:48] jtaji: That would be great. I was mostly concerned with the five seconds or so it was adding to my boot time [02:49] Kadko: Right, just reinstall nvidia-xconfig [02:49] KenBW22: afaik it does it's thing on the whole stram.. regardless of lines [02:49] let me see wait [02:49] ok but why is my localhost server connection refused/failed [02:49] jtaji "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vmware exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)" [02:49] jtaji: "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vmware exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [02:49] " [02:49] qwexer, possibly a corrupt download/disc/burn... try downloading and burning a fresh iso.. also how are you burning the image to begin with? [02:49] Because thunderbird is not a web browser, it's a mail user agent [02:49] Slart: the reason it matters is because i want to move stuff around between lines, as well as reference stuff from previous lines [02:50] Slart: is that possible with sed [02:50] KenBW22: but sed has been around a long long time so there are lots of tutorials and howto's out there.. [02:50] try to connect with mozilla/firefox [02:50] need help downloading aol instant messenger [02:50] donalddoyle_: Have you tried pidgin instead? [02:50] jtaji: Should I force it or would that be harmful? [02:50] Susie: go ahead and add the -f option, sudo update-rc.d -f vmware remove [02:50] yes [02:50] iv'e have seen other successfully install yahoo/hotmail/mail.com and send and receive e-mail [02:50] donalddoyle_, gaim is now called pidgin [02:50] i am talking about aim [02:50] from aol [02:50] <[[thufir]]> if you have two hard drives, is there some trick to installing to just one hard drive? I'm getting messages that the partiton table has changed for both no matter what I try. [02:50] could it be iptables firewall [02:50] Ken, it's possible... but complicated, usually sed and awk together will acconplish that [02:51] donalddoyle_: Right, what is wrong with pidgin? [02:51] Susie: all this does is remove the links to /etc/init.d/vmware in the /etc/rc*.d/ directories which cause it to start, you can always recreate them [02:51] i am currently using pidgen [02:51] donalddoyle_, downloading from where [02:51] KenBW22: there is very little that sed can't do when it comes to searching and replacing.. but like most powerful tools it takes some time to get to know [02:51] i am using pidgen to talk to my friends on aim [02:51] I want to nfs export a directory in read-only and read-write modes (with different names of course) how do I do that? [02:51] Guest44550, try firefox and tell me what you see [02:51] and i cant video chat [02:51] aol doesn't make a linux version, does it? [02:51] Slart: but useful in the future? [02:51] nickrud: Not of any recent version, no. [02:52] KenBW22: if you want to you could use sed to write a whole paper :) [02:52] KenBW22: oh indeed.. if you learn grep, awk, sed and regular expressions you might just be able to conquer the world in some weird way [02:52] try firefox as in what [02:52] doesn't pidgin connect to aol? [02:52] jtaji: That seemed to do it. Thanks. :) [02:52] donalddoyle, try empathy its much better in my opinion but I am not sure if it has webcam support [02:52] !info empathy [02:52] empathy (source: empathy): High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.24.1-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 262 kB, installed size 732 kB [02:52] can someone help me with bluetooth [02:52] I installed zfs-fuse, and I made a zpool and everything. I'm trying to share it via nfs, when I restart my nfs server, it says I need the right fsid, anyone know what that is? [02:52] could it be iptables firewall [02:52] Slart: lol. i think i have soe understanding of regexp - from Dreaamweaver actually but i think it's similar [02:52] all i want is an application to let me video chat with AIM [02:53] Guest44550, have you tried firefox yet? [02:53] yes i'm on ubuntu linux 8,10 [02:53] KenBW22: yea, regular expressions are pretty much the same everywhere (with some small exceptions) [02:53] donalddoyle, "all I want" does not make something immediately gratifying [02:53] and firefox won't connect to localhost? [02:54] ok [02:54] i know it doesnt [02:54] how is that done? typing in 127.0.0.1 [02:54] iptables will not stop local connections unless you have told it to. [02:54] donalddoyle, you could try running AIM in wine [02:54] how can i learn more on how to use ubuntu [02:54] try http://localhost [02:55] and check the Listen directive in the config fil [02:55] hi, whenever i try to copy something to my sd card, it says "the destination is read-only" [02:55] it says it works on a blank page [02:55] !wiki | donalddoyle [02:55] donalddoyle: http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki.

[02:56] hello [02:56] no just installed it haven't configured it yet. [02:56] donalddoyle, there are almost endless resources really.. although I am not so sure about aim webcam support [02:56] Slart: i need sleep too lol, too much ubuntu addiction :) [02:56] ah... well, that will do it, you are connecting but there is no index [02:56] seriously? its hard to get help in this channel... all I want is assistance with bluetooth!! its a well known problem with intrepid. is there a fix? [02:56] KenBW22: if you run into problems there's always #ubuntu or #bash [02:57] check the docs, it's too complicated to explain on irc... go to apache.org and read the manual [02:57] Slart: think ive found a good tutorial. thanks for the help :) [02:57] system clock [02:57] as if [02:57] ok now where getting some where how do i configure for that or is there a how-to [02:57] darnell: no one's getting paid here, relax :) [02:57] system isnt compromised [02:57] KenBW22: you're welcome [02:57] apache.org [02:57] ll [02:57] lol [02:57] darnell, perhaps providing more info than 'want help with bluetooth' would get more answers [02:57] Guest44550: Put stuff in /var/www and make sure its readable by www-data (making it world readable is generally the easiest way) [02:57] i did, ive been asking for hours [02:57] but... [02:58] darnell, kind of like saying "my car is broken.. I think its the metal thing" [02:58] when i try to send a file to my phone via bluetooth, it said obex push not supported [02:58] bash: /var/www: is a directory [02:58] try a simple file called index.html (and use html tags in the file for best results) [02:58] Paddy, i explained my problem multiple times in detail [02:58] for hours [02:58] Guest44550: right. You put stuff in that directory [02:58] Good Luck [02:58] !patience [02:58] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:59] well if there is a paid service ill use that [02:59] darnell, perhaps you should take a break from this problem for a while as its typically difficult to deal with irate tired people that have been on the same topic for hours [03:00] darnell, yes there is [03:00] darnell, have you checked the maker of your phone to see if obex push is supported? [03:00] im not taking a break, ... [03:00] !support [03:00] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [03:00] ive been using ubuntu for years.. [03:00] ive had the same phone for years [03:00] darnell, the only question I see from you is 'need help with bluetooth'; provide a much more substantive question svp [03:00] its intrepid.. [03:00] darnell, http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid [03:00] sudo su [03:00] does ubuntu support eSATA pcmcia cards or express cards?? [03:01] darnell, have you checked the ubuntu forums for help? [03:01] yes [03:01] and google, yahoo etc [03:01] Paddy_EIRE, that wasn't called for -- walk away when you're feeling stressed :) [03:01] thats the ONLY reason i come here.. [03:01] nickrud, keep up [03:01] Paddy_EIRE, did [03:01] my phone doesn't support push, so I can't help [03:01] nickrud, he asked for a paid service [03:01] nickrud, keep up jump jokey :P [03:01] *jockey [03:01] if noone knows thats fine... [03:01] darnell - since obex seems to be the source of your problems have you considered googling file push without obex? === kitche_ is now known as kitche [03:02] thats not a solution... [03:02] why not? [03:02] listen... ubuntu worked fine in hardy and all previous distros.. with bluetooth [03:02] i've even gotten it to work with a iphone ... [03:02] then downgrade :) [03:02] Paddy_EIRE, I kept up, but somehow I missed that one line - :) [03:02] oh yeah.. [03:03] flannel i sent you a pm [03:03] everyone .. "downgrade" [03:03] does ubuntu support eSATA on pcmcia cards or express cards?? [03:03] thats what i did [03:03] nickrud, amazing what a difference those single sentences make... I wish I had not killed my wife now :( [03:03] dsv' [03:03] its cool.. [03:03] Im happy with 8.04, theres nothing in 8.10 i need [03:03] ill figure it out.. [03:03] darnell, whats the chipset [03:04] darnell: I've been looking for a solution to the same problem.. I've googled, checked forums, downloaded new versions of bluetooth drivers.. none of it made a difference.. [03:04] just figured if it was "bleeding/cutting edge" it should work [03:04] Guest44550: Ah. Best to keep it in channel. You can use sudo with cp to copy stuff there. If you're completely out of place with the command line, you can use `gksu nautilus` to open a nautilus window with elevated privledges. Be *extremely* careful with that, and close it as soon as youre done (copy the files, then make them world readable) [03:04] darnell, have you tried looking on the bugtracker; it may be a known regression [03:04] slart..thanx for letting me know that. [03:04] quite the opposite, unfortunately [03:04] darnell: I can't remember why it was broken.. I think I found some kind of reason somewhere but I don't remember it atm [03:04] Guest44550: A better long term solution is to add yourself to the www-data group, and then give group write permissions to /var/www (after changing its owner to www-data:www-data) [03:05] darnell, and if it isn't logged and your phone worked with previous versions they'd probably appreciate/hate a bug report [03:05] The more cutting edge a tool/protocol/etc is is inversely proportional to the likelihood that it will work, darnell... just as an FYI. [03:05] darnell: basically I've given up.. I use a wire to connect my phone while I wait for jaunty [03:05] cp: missing file operand [03:05] Hello, quick question here; what is the newest ubuntu build and is there a way to use wubi to install it?

[03:08] what files are those [03:08] pikario: there's also gftp [03:08] cool [03:09] pikario: or scp on the command line of course ;) [03:09] well... thats not good because currently there is no way to sync a windows mobile phone with ubuntu.. === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [03:09] bluetooth was the last option [03:10] i have filezilla which has those files in them is this correct flannel or jcusick [03:10] what files?

[04:18] one confusing thing, it seems like the 'feisty' dir has been removed from all the mirrors [04:18] probably cause old, but I can't install anything at all and this is blocking me. [04:18] but yea, any insight would be useful. if not I was going to hack apart the update-manager code and see what's going wrong when generting this bad server name. [04:19] Dom1, you are wishing to upgrade? that is feisty which is eol; need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com if so [04:19] I couldn't find any bugs that quite matched this. [04:19] Dom1: why not just reinstall 8.04 or 8.10? upgrading from such and old release is a pain [04:19] hm gotcha, I could do that. [04:19] i am here [04:19] I was hoping to take the cheap lazy way out, but if it's that bad I can maybe redo it. [04:20] its not 'bad' its a pain [04:20] I had a ton of custom dev libraries installed was the only reason I didn't want to go from scratch [04:20] I wasn't aware of old-release.ubuntu.com [04:20] steve1984: have you checked here? http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+intrepid+dual+monitor+intel [04:20] *releases [04:20] steve1984: you might want to try rebooting into live cd with a different monitor so that it redetects it, see if it finds your resoloution. [04:21] Dom1: doubtful those old custom libs would work now anyways [04:21] steve1984: there are a number of ways to do dual monitor support, so you may have to try some things [04:21] can anyone tell me how to get a .rpm install file to work in ubuntu 8.10 \ [04:21] steve1984: thats not recommended [04:21] steve1984: can't find a .deb for it? ubuntu and 3rd-party repo's have almost everything [04:22] steve1984: tell us what it is, we will most likly find you a .deb [04:22] lol i dont car about the dual support in linux i just want my graphics drivers to work for 1280x1024 so i can play my wow and stuff sucks when your using linux but your graphics suck [04:22] steve1984, what you want to install?

[04:23] its intel driver graphics im going to try it but it has to be converted [04:23] hm oh, yea I forgot I can dual boot 2 linux distros. I've been out of the loop for too long. [04:23] steve1984: the same driver is available in the ubuntu repo's you don't need an rpm [04:23] so if i reboot into a live cd [04:24] steve1984: you could try opensuse, if that fails, that is another good linux distribution :) [04:24] and it does detect it does that mean i have to reinstall my current linux [04:24] I'll do that and if it's not done being setup in 2 days when I need it for an event I can just boot the old one. [04:24] steve1984: you can install alien, and use it to convert that rmp [04:24] steve1984: if that works then we are making progress, maybe we get it working in normal installation too [04:25] ive tried installing knoppix open suse and fedora and slakware all of them failed at installation [04:25] stephans, did ubuntu gave u thirparty drivers? [04:25] with this computer i just built [04:25] no i dont think so [04:25] i dont know [04:26] having trouble emptying trash -- it brings up a window that says file operations and then it just stalls there [04:26] steve1984, new to linux?

[05:04] wait it think i get it, if i think of opengel correctly, it relies alot on CPU power, and Xvideo by the looks of it can make use of your video hardware [05:04] steve198424, so what is your final decision? [05:04] SilentDis: k, will read that stuff [05:04] how can i get the sony gc1 net sharing cam to work [05:04] kurrata: you need to use the map command in your menu.lst file for grub [05:04] steve198424, there are also some things modified in the gui that you may dislike. [05:04] its me i was talking on pidgen before lol [05:04] thanks guys for the help, i think i'm all good now. [05:05] nibsa1242: used map already ;) [05:05] is pidgin bad? [05:05] like the sound preferences. They are a lot more simple, but therefore less customizable [05:05] dislike??/ like what ?? [05:05] dummyhead3, its not very good for irc. [05:05] kurrata: then that should work... did you remember to update-grub after changing your menu.lst? [05:05] anybody here good with flash 10? [05:05] i cant get into the settings menu [05:05] wolter, wich client would you reccomend? [05:05] nibsa1242: what do you mean by update? [05:06] hello, I'm trying to get firestarter to configure my DHCP server for internet connection sharing, but it stays grayed out. I have installed dhcp3-server. when the server starts, though, it fails, because 'no interfaces are available', thus firestarter isn't able to set it up. what am i doing wrong? [05:06] dummyhead3, i use xchat. [05:06] kurrata: what does the windows section of your menu.lst file look like? [05:06] ok thnx [05:06] hey, my computer is connecting to network but i dont get internet allthought i know internet is working. when i first connect systemmonitor shows I send like 100kb and recieve like 60, but for like 2 seconds, then everything else is just a few hundred bytes and the internet doesn't work. [05:06] brb [05:06] steve198424, some other stuff i don't remember also may cause dislike to you. [05:06] kurrata: after you change the menu.lst file you have to run the command "update-grub" to actually update grub === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [05:07] brb with xchat! [05:07] lol [05:07] nice [05:08] kurrata: you still there? [05:08] RukusX, found out something interesting? [05:08] obf213, ???? [05:08] steve198424: yeah? u 've got some ideas mate? [05:09] wolter and crdlb, the conclusion i have come to is, Xvideo makes use of your video hardware controllers, thus relying less on your CPU power, whereas OpenGL relies on your CPU to process video streams, putting a strain on your CPU and not making any use of video hardware controllers [05:09] is there a way to start an x application on the ***remote*** display? (no x forwarding): something like "ssh remoteuser@remotemachine xclock" where xlock starts on the display defined in remotemachine [05:09] nibsa1242: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94819/ [05:09] RukusX, really? interesting... [05:09] Can someone help me with a problem I am having with my systems Suspend function? I've tried the forums, and been here a few times, but no one has helped me, that is, no one has taken my case. [05:09] hey guys I want to open a terminal at boot/reboot and run a program in it automatically. I want to run it in the terminal because it needs babysitting from time to time. Is there a way to do this? [05:09] So uh, how do I view files from my windows from ubuntu? I installed ubuntu inside of windows... I dunno if it has anything to do with it. [05:09] Can anybody here tell me how to get rid of nautilus. All my old 8.04 session information appears to be ignored in 8.10. [05:10] Running Hardy 8.04 with nVidia GTX 260 and my drivers seem to have gone to the dump. Not sure what I changed, but after installing the nVidia binary package (.run one from their site), things were working. I did a reboot for something else and now gnome comes up in "low resolution" mode. I tried running the installer again, then nvidia-xconfig. No luck. xorg.conf shows that I'm running 'nvidia' driver, but when I run nvidia-settings, it says [05:10] Or, failing that, can someone tell me where I should go for support on gnome session management issues? [05:10] wolter as well, Xvideo makes use of other hardware accellerated features of your graphics card, like motion compensation, and overlays, [05:10] kurrata: ok, what you need to do is follow directions from: http://blog.firetree.net/2005/08/26/duel-boot-windows-with-grub/ pay attention to the map part under the windows entry [05:10] Very useful information, RukusX. [05:10] nibsa1242: k [05:10] #ubuntu [05:11] How can I get the version number of pkg not yet installed with Aptituted? For example if I want to check the version number of Liferea in the repos? [05:11] wolter whereas, if you wanted to do ANYTHING that your video controller could do using OpenGL, not Xvideo, it would rely solely on your CPU [05:11] RukusX, are you sure about that? Paste the source please. [05:11] kurrata: that tricks windows into thinking its the master drive so it'll boot property... if it doesn't think its the master it refuses to boot [05:11] you gave me the source [05:11] Hi. What packages do I need to play Shockwave files in Firefox, eg http://www.isketch.net/i2.html [05:11] OpenGL is a very widely used graphics library (GL). [05:11] yesterday or so, my computer internet stopped working on my computer, on multiple networks, i connect to network but no internet. anybody have any ideas [05:12] I'll check it then. [05:12] nibsa1242: yea, reading it now will try it [05:12] If anyone is familiar with using SSH as a SOCKS proxy, how can I create a user on my server (Ubuntu 8.10) that I can login to, but has ABSOLUTELY NO terminal access or ability to do anything except for use the proxy? Thanks! [05:12] and i know OpenGL relies on CPU from past experiences [05:12] dxdt: apt-cache policy packagename [05:12] Um... How do I view my windows files? It's not in my places... [05:12] dxdt: or aptitude show packagename === sleepy_cat is now known as mobile_madness [05:12] kurrata: Ok good. I dual boot, thats how I have mine setup, and it works flawlessly... I've got to go hope that helped. [05:12] jtaji: Thanks very much [05:13] im able to view all of my windows files on my linux no problem [05:13] miyavi: Install ntfs-3g [05:13] RukusX, the keyword is "lack" in "the lack of an OpenGL Framebuffer Object or pbuffer, the use of an OpenGL environment like XGL makes xv hardware accelerations impossible." [05:13] I don't know where to go to view them [05:13] yitz, to use Shockwave, you need to install firefox with wine and then install shockwave [05:13] yitz: Shockwave is not really supported. You can run it in Wine. I reccomend you just do a google or two. [05:13] brb [05:13] Thanks [05:14] nedwell - how do you run that proxy if you have such a user? [05:14] all I can find is crontab or rc.d but I really need this program to run in a normal window with sudo privs. Unfortunately it has a lot of output and needs to be babysat from time to time. any ideas on how to get around this? [05:14] yitz_ now what? [05:14] bin10101 - look around /etc/network/ifup.d or ifdown.d [05:15] wolter so what you are saying is, there is no OpenGL hardware acceleration? [05:15] enerya: openssh should run it by itself, right? Then I can just plink(windows) into it using that username for proxy access. I just don't want that to be accessible via putty (windows) for direct terminal access. [05:15] how can i check what groups a user is in? [05:15] via command line [05:15] RukusX, I am actually saying the opposite of that. [05:15] jabagawee: "groups username" [05:15] miyavi: Usage: ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] [05:15] Flannel, and who says the command line isnt intuitive? [05:16] jabagawee: No one I know ;) [05:16] also, how do you add yourself to groups that you're not in? [05:16] jabagawee: adduser user group [05:16] RukusX, the lack of a framebuffer, that I imagine that it is some sort of wierd thing, makes OpenGL hardware acceleration imposible, whereas the presence of it, makes it totally possible. [05:16] nedwell - i am not 100% sure, but look in /etc/passwd if you can run ssh at login [05:16] Flannel, again, duh. [05:16] jabagawee: groupadd [05:17] thanks [05:17] jabagawee: sorry, not groupadd, that's for adding groups [05:17] wolter well i won;t argue with you, i just honestly dont understand enough to. haha [05:17] Flannel, apparently, adduser didnt work [05:17] jabagawee: you'll need to use sudo. sudo adduser user group [05:17] jabagawee: And changes won't take affect until you log in again [05:17] (if that user is currently logged in) [05:18] ah [05:18] enerya: not following, those dont run in viewable terminal...do they? am I missing something? [05:19] RukusX, ah that's ok haha. I just didn't want to defame OpenGl. [05:19] bin10101 - try it, put a script there that requires a terminal or console [05:19] need some samba help [05:19] can't connect to a share [05:19] wolter, ya it has more uses than i ever imagined [05:19] well. [05:19] atleast 1 or 2 [05:20] it shows up in the network but when you go to connect it asks for a UN/PW and nothing works to get past it [05:20] i used to be a windows user, gaming on DirectX [05:20] RukusX, I was one of those as well hehe. [05:20] i never thought much about OpenGL until Ubuntu and compiz [05:20] I have a basic config file that should work I can connect to the smb server via the cli on a remote mac [05:20] I used to admire DirectX, now I realize that it is one of those Windows-only nasty products. [05:21] narzy - type smb and press tab twice to see all the cli for smb [05:21] It works well, indeed. But it is egotistic from Windows to keep it to theirselves. [05:21] i suppose if DirectX was opensource maybe this would be a different conversation perhaps? [05:21] lol [05:21] I'm running a Ruby_GNOME2 tutorial app that will not "quit". How do I kill a program process via command line? [05:21] Also, OpenGL works much better., [05:21] enerya: [05:21] I've done that [05:21] ok...thanks. [05:21] narzy now its time to read its man pages, i dont recall all the options or how to use those [05:22] I've tried to connect, it should work, but its like a permissions issue === orudie_ is now known as techsupport [05:22] wolter, thanks for the input. What i have gathered tho, is that in my case, Xvideo will work much better for me. [05:23] Fezzler: pkill -9 [05:23] RukusX, why is that? [05:23] Fezzler: you could try 'ps aux | grep Ruby*' and find its process # then do what IcemanV9 said [05:23] hello anyone currently have unreal tournament GOTY running on their ubuntu 8.10 machine [05:24] wolter, i'm pretty sure it makes more use of my hardware accelleration, than opengl does [05:24] or am i wrong [05:24] Would someone tell me, are there any real advantatges to using KDE instead of GNOME? As in, if I use Kubuntu (or setup KDE), is it really worthwhile? [05:24] i keep getting this message: Warning: Failed to load 'Entry': Can't find file 'Entry' [05:24] Warning: Failed to load 'Level None.MyLevel': Can't find file 'Entry' [05:24] Critical: appError called: [05:24] Critical: Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file 'Entry' [05:24] Oh well, I don't know, I think you may be.

Am I pkill-ing Ruby or the *.rb file? [05:26] sudo kill -9 helloworld.rb' shoudl do it [05:26] Fezzler: maybe 'kill -9 $PID' [05:27] how can i get my sony gc1 net sharing cam to work [05:27] should* [05:27] RukusX, Well I think you just simply underestimate OpenGL's power. [05:27] 1000 9595 0.0 0.1 3004 772 pts/0 S+ 00:26 0:00 grep Ruby* [05:27] is there an ubuntu gaming IRC channel? [05:27] neher, i honestly don't know, i dont like KDE its too flashy, i like simple. gnome is fairly simple, also KDE didn't work well for me on my system [05:27] I'd like to broadcast a livemix to a friend. Does anyone know how to make mplayer listen on the port 8080, waiting for connections ? [05:28] RukusX, XVideo can also be used to accelerate video playback during the drawing of windows using an OpenGL Framebuffer Object or pbuffer. [05:28] RukusX: this system is pretty light in the loafers, so It's probably better if I avoid the flash [05:28] Fezzler: type 'top' in terminal and find that .rb file's pid # then kill it's pid # [05:28] Oh, I missed quotes. [05:28] obf213: can you ping your default gateway? do you have nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf ? [05:28] RukusX, that explains that if it was not for OpenGl, Xv would have no hardware acceleration. [05:28] wolter, perhaps i do. i wouldn't underestimate its possibilities, never. i'm just looking at it from a performance angle.... i'm convinced that OpenGL will not make use of my hardware acceleration. [05:28] !de [05:28] Xv uses OpenGL.

[05:29] cant get GPS-500 sirf III to work threw latest version of virtual box xp guest with addons and usb enabled [05:29] !kubuntu [05:29] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [05:29] wolter, because i dont understand enough [05:29] RukusX, I showed you a quote that contradicted your opinion. [05:29] yah [05:30] you bitch [05:30] O.o [05:30] wolter, i'm just terribly lost. i just like the simple and straight forward answer that is going to work best for me. [05:30] RukusX, well, keep in mind that Xvideo uses OpenGL to enable Hardware acceleration, in more human terms, OpenGL is Xvideo's daddy. [05:30] wolter that opens up a new door of understanding for me [05:30] lol [05:30] <^Neil^> perl update broke my scripts? [05:30] I supposed haha. [05:30] also puts me back on square one [05:30] <^Neil^> happened to anyone else? [05:31] wolter, you just un-engineered my answer for me. Now i'm not sure again which video output is better for me, OpenGL or Xvideo. lol i just want best perofrmance and quality [05:32] RukusX, I'd tell you to go for OpenGL. [05:32] i was always feeling that i should [05:32] I really don't know anything about Xvideo, but from what I have read, OpenGL is the father of Xv. [05:33] hi. i have a question about my home directory. i moved it to a second hard drive/partition. i added it to the fstab file and it seems to work fine after rebooting but how do i remove/delete the old folders? where do find them? :S [05:33] RukusX, anyway, you should not be worried about that, I don't think you will notice a difference, unless you have a low-end graphics card. [05:33] RukusX, which graphics card do you posses? [05:33] wolter well if i think back to what i have learnt about compiz, etc... its uses OpenGL correct? and it would not run properly on my computer until i enabled hardware acceleration and Direct Rendering [05:34] thanks got it [05:34] :) [05:34] so if OpenGL makes no use of hardware accerlaration, then what the heck was that? [05:34] lol [05:34] Hi [05:34] i have a intel 915gm i think [05:34] its 915 at least [05:35] maximilian-schro: if you do 'sudo mount --bind / /mnt' your original home contents will be at /mnt/home and you delete them with 'sudo rm -rf /mnt/home/*' then unmount again with 'sudo umount /mnt' [05:35] i know on my windows theatre machine, i had better performance when i enabled hardware acceleration [05:35] obviously [05:35] RukusX, it does. [05:35] I got some problems with the alsa-tools package. I've just download using the wget. But I can't install it. [05:36] so, i was concerned that by using the wrong output i was not making use of hardware accelleration, but mabe i am confused about this on a codec level and not an output level [05:36] RukusX, OpenGL uses hware accel [05:36] maximilian-schro: note that the empty /home needs to remain on the / disk to be used as the mount point, so delete the contents, not the directory itself [05:36] i have noticed linux works alot on function, not feature [05:36] Anyone else here running the GTX 260/280? Having any trouble? [05:37] RukusX, I do not recognize your graphics card. What games did you use to play on Windows? [05:37] It just appears ./ac3dec and ./gitcompile: 3: aclocal: not found [05:37] wolter, bottom line, then WHY give me the choice of Xvideo or OpenGL if there is no difference? [05:37] I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I keep getting 'could not access the cd' when trying to install to a slave drive? [05:37] how do I release / renew my ip address via cli [05:37] wolter, i never used this computer on windows [05:37] RukusX, as I told you, I ignore most of the information describing Xvideo. But if Xvideo itself uses OpenGL, then I'd take a wild guess and say that OpenGL is better. [05:37] narzy - dhclient eth0 [05:38] RukusX: You've been on the longest troll rant I've seen in awhile now [05:38] lol [05:38] To all of that you may feed yourself from one only thing: OpenGL uses hardware acceleration. [05:38] i'm just trying to understand [05:38] soreau, is learning sinning? [05:38] soreau, just trying to understand [05:38] that wolter [05:38] errr [05:38] thanks wolter [05:38] ah no problem.

[05:39] wolter: I was just being observant [05:39] nice! [05:39] i wasnt ranting about anything [05:39] thanks [05:39] Trolling is not sinning, but it's easier to learn by reading [05:39] joeb3_, I have already resolve my problem. [05:39] soreau, ah ok, I thought you were discretely shushing him. [05:39] Thanks.

[05:40] trying to avoid making another partition on the master drive [05:40] soreau, i tried reading, but i didnt know what i was reading or where to begin, and whatever i had was obviously the wrong road. i do not regret my "troll rant" as much as it maybe have annoyed you, i am sorry.

[06:06] anyone use postfix+maildrop and get /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to change to home directory for mail addressed to root? [06:06] how do i install kunbuntu but still keep gdm?

[06:06] how do you switch desktop managers though [06:06] ? [06:06] soreau, if I drag a window around I can almost pinpoint where the blurry spot is [06:06] chillio0: can you elaborate. [06:06] I see you guys are kind of busy, if you get around to my problem, just say my name, it'll flash on my screen. lol, looks like theres some way more serious issues at the moment. [06:06] racarter, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:07] What are 'rtnetlink messages'? (There is a manpage man rtnetlink but I do not understand its intention.) [06:07] erisco: Then it's a physical monitor issue. [06:07] sirstan: can u use chilli0 , and i need to see my card details like what version and stuff is [06:07] no i mean, once you've installed everything.. then say you want to switch to gdm or kdm or whatever [06:07] soreau, it doesn't make any sense at all [06:07] chilli0: what versions of what stuff? i cant tell you how to get the info you want; if you cant tell me :D [06:07] bah i'll worry about that when it comes up i guess [06:07] erisco: This would mean it's not specific to ubuntu and thus you would need to ask in a hardware support channel or forum like #hardware [06:08] sirstan: i need to find out the source type and driver [06:08] if you ./configure then make, shouldn't there be files to run before you do a make install? I don't see any. I'm confused [06:08] erisco: My small bit of advice is to use the 'Degauss' function for your monitor, provided it has that feature [06:09] does anyone ever stare at their terminal for long periods of time? [06:09] soreau, no, its an LCD... I do not believe they have such a thing [06:09] chilli0: dmesg | grep Wire [06:09] does anyone ever keep hitting ls for no reason?

[06:12] sirstan: yes it does im connected right now [06:13] chilli0: kk.. then maybe your dmesg log is too long.. look at /var/log/dmesg [06:13] mgobrien [06:13] i am installing kubuntu-desktop now [06:13] chilli0: on my machine wireless was initialized @ ~40 === mike is now known as Guest64260 [06:13] i am worried that my computer will be full of apps that start with k now [06:14] sirstan: its a big file [06:14] anyone have experience with installing Maya 2008 on Ubuntu ?

[06:15] so I followed a tutorial a while back on VNC/SSH and it had me make a script that would popup when I restarted telling me which port VNC was running.. where would that script typically be put? [06:15] what about standard ipod? [06:15] lwizardl, my son does i'll try to get him on... [06:15] erisco: Great [06:15] ok, anyone else want to help?

(There is a manpage man rtnetlink but I do not understand its intention.) === mike is now known as Guest43027 [06:20] lol....google is my main command. takes me hrs to do jus about anything [06:21] jus pretty much follow the directions from searches [06:21] anyway instead of pointing obvious things out to me... can you please tell me what causes this or how to prevent this... [06:21] bullgard4, my guess is they mean messages in /var/log/syslog relating to rtnetlink [06:21] i don't know what i'm doing...i'm new [06:21] Anacranom, no problem all I find are for redora (rpm) on the disc and ubuntu won't let me copy or open any files on the disc inside Ubuntu [06:21] but i got everything i need pretty much working solid....after about 6 days now [06:21] primesuspeckt: what if someone posts a set of malicious commands on the net, then google bombs them so they show up high in the results for common problems :( [06:22] lwizardl, convert to .deb? [06:22] primesuspeckt, you lucky dog, it took me months to get a well working system years ago :) [06:22] primesuspeckt: be afraid.. they are all out to get you :( [06:23] Anacranom, it won't let me copy direct from the disc unless I do it from terminal as sudo. but I completely doubt that maya installer is only 12mb [06:23] nickrud: Thank you for your information. [06:23] impi, did you try sudo eject? [06:23] hopefully that's not the case....most people using linux and posting the directions tend to be good natured....and for the growth of linux [06:23] hello [06:23] something like that would hurt it [06:24] lol nickrud old skool linuxer eh? I was almost hooked on linux back in the red hat 5.2 days, but i got skerred and ran back to windows lol, then came back to linux when Ubuntu 7.04 hit , havent looked back since :) [06:24] nickrud: mhmmm... i already said i did :) [06:24] Finished reloading moblock old blocklists. [06:24] impi, the usual reason you can't unmount a cdrom is because you have some process still open to a file on the cd [06:24] Since the current ones are total nazis. [06:24] :( [06:24] hi how to use ekiga software [06:24] I NEED HELP! OMG [06:24] Google [06:24] eseven73, didn't start that far back, I think it was 6.1 [06:25] ah :) [06:25] nickrud: then wtf is the force option for [06:25] to amuse me? [06:25] fuertesfj, whats the matter.. stuck caps lock key ;) [06:25] so why do they say linux is for geeks? [06:26] It used to be.

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [06:26] primesuspeckt: But as Paddy_EIRE, this isn't the place. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for idle chatter. :) [06:27] impi, I've had little luck with force; lsof | grep /dev/cdrom* has been my saviour over the years [06:27] The only reason I switched to ubuntu is cause I got too many viruses with windows :< [06:27] lol....no doubt [06:27] worldcitizen: Please, #ubuntu-offtopic :) [06:27] Paddy_EIRE - Ive lost all my pics and videos [06:28] how can i make myself the owner of a non-writable CD ? [06:28] fuertesfj, I feel your pain [06:28] fuertesfj, dont worry its a mistake you wont make often [06:28] fuertesfj, did you format the vista partition? [06:28] it is possible its still there?

It seems to do this whenever I don't restart for awhile. Is there any way I can avoid rhythm box locking up so often? [06:30] I think so i read partitio creator so i said "hey great its creating a partition how cool" but no its not there [06:30] or rather, any good alternatives? [06:30] Amarok maybe? [06:30] nickrud: thats foolish... i'm not going to kill each app that didn't release the cdrom drive [06:30] !players | worldcitizen [06:30] worldcitizen: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[06:30] thanks [06:30] err, impi* [06:31] np [06:31] Paddy_EIRE - ive used ubuntu b4 i even have it in an external hard drive for my desktop [06:31] impi: It's the same thing on Windows. If an application locks the CD drive, then you can't eject it [06:31] fuertesfj, you run ubuntu from an external usb hdd... heh that must be slow D: [06:31] impi, I don't kill them, I close the connection. usually it's cuz I have a shell open on another desktop <-- see elkbuntu spelling changes ;) [06:31] i always can eject the cd drive on windows [06:31] hi how to use ekiga software [06:32] !ekiga | v_ [06:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga [06:32] v_: please stop repeating [06:32] hm. [06:32] oh no you cant not if its being used by another app that is frozen [06:32] v_: Try checking the 'help' menu in Ekiga, or see http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Main_Page [06:32] if an app can prevent umounting of the cd drive then wtf's the force option for? [06:32] impi: please stop using the foul acronyms [06:33] impi, please think disney G rated here [06:33] Paddy_EIRE - actually no since its 40mb and i have a duo core processor with 2.8ghz [06:33] v_: try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [06:33] yeah but read write times are still limited to usb.. no amount of cpu will fix that [06:34] fuertesfj, ^ [06:34] but the problem im having is accruing in my touch screen laptop [06:34] :( [06:34] fuertesfj, which laptop? [06:35] Paddy_EIRE - oh its a HP Pavilio tx 1000 [06:35] anyone know why I can't get my tv card to find channels when it scans [06:35] I'm having a problem installing ubuntu. After choosing either the install or the try ubuntu option, it loads for a bit, but then comes up with an error message that it repeats every 7 seconds or so: "[122.849374] end request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1424592 \n [122.849458] Buffer I/O erroron device sr0, logical block 356148 [06:35] impi: sudo fuser -vki /dev/cdrom will kill processes locking the cdrom (after asking for confirmation) [06:36] and it just keeps doing that. [06:36] treyk4 sounds like a bad cd [06:37] OxDeadC0de: i doubt it, this is the 2nd copy i've made [06:37] treyk4 maybe bad iso? how'd you download it [06:37] treyk4: there should be an option in the boot menu to verify the CD [06:38] Paddy_EIRE - it has touch screen technology that has become useless with ubuntu and so has the fingerprint recognition [06:38] sr0 is cdrom I'm almost positive about that.. so it's a problem with either your drive, the media, or the image [06:38] treyk4 /|\ [06:38] rww: i've already tried that, no problems with it. [06:38] treyk4: if that fails, verify the MD5 of the .iso you downloaded, and try burning at a slower speed [06:38] treyk4: try burning the iso slower if you havent already been down that road [06:38] treyk4: it passes that? hmm [06:38] treyk4: are you installing ubuntu onto the old box? [06:39] try 8.04 treyk4 ? [06:40] IcemanV9: no, this is a brand new laptop [06:40] treyk4: do you have another computer handy to test the CD on?

[06:42] freq18hz: hold ALT and click anywhere in the window and drag [06:42] anyone know why my system would ignore the changes I've made with visudo [06:43] jtaji: when I hold alt and click and drag, the window stops at the top menu bar, I cannot go above it [06:43] hmm anyone know if it's possible to disable dma durring live cd for cdrom's but not hd? That might help treyk4's problem [06:43] treyk4: ok. try to boot with options, noacpi [06:44] IcemanV9: alright. give me a minute and i'll tell you how it goes. === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [06:47] freq18hz: hmm I guess you are using compiz desktop effects, not sure in that case, you can do it with compiz disabled [06:49] hi. does anybody know a application where i can make a database of my movies. such as rythmbox is for audio but for video formats [06:49] is it possible to use a 2x(1x640GB drive + 1x1TB drive) hardware setup in a raid1 configuration?

[07:01] gralco: I know - but why? [07:01] gralco: Right, why are you compiling it? [07:01] anyone know how to change the default keymap in X to a custom keymap? [07:01] gralco: Wine has an excellent .deb package repository. Instructions can be found here: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [07:02] i want to try that release [07:02] yes but there is no .deb for 1.1.11 [07:02] ok here is my error message: me@me-laptop:~$ sudo mount 192.168.1.3: /a192.168.1.3/home [07:02] mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.3: [07:02] what am i doing wrong?

If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [07:04] okay, no, it didn't work. i ran another cd test just for a sanity check, and it said that the cd itself was fine... but right before the test actually began it spit out that same error. [07:04] jtaji - in the boot menu that is [07:04] gralco: Building wine from source can cause some hell using official packages later. If you really want to do so, please run sudo apt-get build-dep wine (make sure you have build-essential installed as well), then download the archive from winehq, untar it, change to the directory and run './configure' followed by 'make' and 'sudo make install' [07:05] MenZa, how many starting lines of text would ya need before restating a question? [07:05] okcompuhter: I'd wait for a bit at least, and give people some time to read it. If you still don't get an answer, try the !forums or !lists [07:05] how do you share a cups printer on a local network when the device uri starts with hp:/ and does not reference any ip? [07:05] ManZa thanks, once the release is stable ill just reinstall it [07:06] Ok, could use a bit of help here. The lower/mute volume keys on my keyboard arent working, but the raise volume button is, any ideas? === _Styles is now known as Styles [07:06] gralco: Remember to remove wine first, and if you leave the files in place, you can run 'sudo make uninstall' in the same directory later. [07:06] GodfatherofEire: Try checking in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts [07:07] GodfatherofEire: Check if the shortcuts are set properly [07:07] jtaji - are you there? [07:07] MenZa, yeah, I already did, and they're registering the keypresses, but its not actually lowering the volume [07:07] anyone know what the problem could be? i could try just installing the base system aand then putting a desktop on it, but sometimes while installing that, it freezes starting powernowd [07:07] It just raises it [07:07] GodfatherofEire: Which player are you using? [07:07] fuertesfj: I would guess you are pretty much out of luck if you overwrote the windows partition instead of resizing it during the install [07:07] jtaji - dont mean to rush a answer just want to know [07:07] ythe base system, that is [07:07] MenZa, Master volume, not individual programs [07:08] Ah. [07:08] do you live in america, if you do, would you advise i go to tiger direct to see if the can extract any info. [07:08] That does sound rather weird... I remember there's a program that'll capture the keypress code, which you can use to set actions for in a config file... but I forget what it's called, let alone how to use it properly. Sorry. :( [07:09] GodfatherofEire: ^ [07:09] fuertesfj: I wasn't aware tiger direct offered data recovery/forensics [07:09] (I'm terrible at prefixing my messages with nicks. My bad.) [07:09] MenZa: No prob [07:09] Gonna check gconfeditor [07:09] jtaji: If you're using the same computer you wish to recover data from, shut down immediately and boot from a LiveCD. It only scrambles your data further, and makes it less likely that it can be recovered. [07:10] jtaji - i think they do, is there another store you know of that does that? [07:10] fuertesfj: MenZa makes a good point [07:10] fuertesfj: there are companies that provide that service but it is far from cheap [07:11] gnome-mplayer freeze sometimes and i loose sound on my system. amarok has an error, (xine is unable to initialize any audio drivers). restarting fixes this but any other solution.

I have to say I'm going against a dead end here so far... got a thinkpad x30 which I've found a way to boot via a USB key finally, however only if I disable the harddrive. My question is: How can I get linux to notice the internal harddrive if I hot-swap insert it post-boot? [07:11] where could I find a sound flie to test Audacity?

[07:13] MenZa, Xorg restart did it [07:13] syssan: no go trying that, only thing that makes the boot work is removing the harddrive for some reason [07:13] GodfatherofEire: Sweet. I'll note that. :) [07:13] i have a t40 and i got it to boot the usb [07:13] MenZa jtaji - Thanks for all youre help [07:14] treyk4: to mount the iso image and see its contents [07:14] sysscan: well mine did too. that's not what I'm asking though [07:14] but you have to disable the harddrive though? i didnt [07:14] i did [07:14] ok is open jdk runtime a replacement for the java jre that is needed for frostwire and such === AshTra402 is now known as AshTray- [07:15] isn't it possible to refresh the internal harddrives, if you hot-insert another harddrive post boot?

[07:35] do1mps: or just edit the sound in something like audacity, and change the preferences to a new sound :D [07:35] that would really help out right now [07:36] MenZa, I think booting from cd and installing from usb oslt. Doesn't make much sense to me :) [07:36] yes it does, do you want to see it? (where do I paste it?) [07:36] vjacob, why would you want that?

[07:39] aero1, its quite possible only a portion is broken [07:39] gralco: Er, what do you mean? [07:39] Seveas, could it be because it's NTFS, and the drivers kinda stink? [07:39] seveas: what do u mean? [07:39] hey am new to this what going on [07:40] vjacob, you just said you reload kernel modules. The only good reason to do that is needing special arguments to modprobe [07:40] aero1, i.e., the part windows is contained on currently has no media defects, but the part linux is on is messed up - try a disk test utility, seagate has a good one for their disks [07:40] MenZa the last release I used was 1.0.1 and it says that under 'about' and still says that after I ran the './configure' file [07:40] theatrus, any time I try to copy to it, anything larger than 100mb, there is a high chance that it will hang after 200mb or so, this ALWAYS happens, and this NEVER happens in vista [07:40] Clark3934: start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [07:40] gralco: Where is the output of your terminal?

[07:41] aero1, no, this is a 'hardware error' (which could be hardware driver bug, but not filesystem driver bug) [07:41] seveas: perhaps, however I do nnot think I need special arguments [07:41] do you? [07:41] MenZa: when i typed sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gpc * this error appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=ulwch [07:41] vjacob, then you should not need to reload those modules [07:42] seveas: not even if the harddrive was inserted after boot? [07:42] error404notfound, I've done a bit of that, its somewhat a pain to figure out what preseed values you can actually use [07:42] baber: is soemthing else running (system updater, or similar) [07:42] and it's not automatically detected in kernel (according to dmesg) ? [07:42] vjacob, no. Should be autodetected [07:42] narzy: I will start there. Will it effect me much that it's from 2006? [07:42] theatrus: that's exactly what I think :P [07:42] no [07:42] vjacob, if autodetection is broken you have an entirely different problem :) [07:42] just means they figured it out 2 years before we did [07:42] ok [07:42] seveas: only thing is, it's not [07:42] haha [07:42] error404notfound, you can use debconf-getselections to dump out a preconfigured machine [07:42] well then :) [07:42] that's why I'm trying to do this the ugly way [07:42] error404notfound, and then try to use similar values as d-i values [07:43] theatrus: well my issue is that I want hostname to be entered manually at install time as well as one user account. Also I want sources.lst to use a localserver instead of ubuntu mirros... [07:43] bookmarked that page... :) [07:43] error404notfound, ah, the sources one is easy [07:44] Seveas, I have an external 500gb drive used by windows and ubuntu for storing files, what file system would you recommend?

But they are not in my Ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24-22-generic. Why are they not compiled in? [07:48] almost 3am here too [07:48] Seveas: besides the 4Gig limit, there's really advantage in using 64bit, right? [07:48] almost 3am here also [07:48] sfuentes, some code can execute faster in 64bit mode [07:48] err no advantage [07:48] sfuentes, no noticeable advantage. In fact x86_64 is slower than x86 on the same clock speed [07:48] :/ [07:49] Seveas, thats not universally true [07:49] theatrus, on a proper architecture that wouuld be true, not on x86_64 :) [07:49] Flannel, did u use rtorrent before [07:49] hi... [07:49] the bigger constraint usually ends up being memory bandwidth [07:50] but if your code has good cache locality, you really can do a lot more integer computation per second [07:50] can i install ubuntu to system with 128 Mb ram?? [07:50] theatrus, and the same app usually takes more memory on a 64bit machine due to longer pointers [07:50] theatrus: http://rafb.net/p/Le7O4A66.html will this do if the local mirror's name is aptproxy and intrepid is the CD I am remastering [07:50] Seveas, yes of course [07:50] ich suche hilfe fuer ubunutu w-lan auf eee pc [07:50] can someone help me with something just have a question [07:50] theatrus, but in any real workload (say, a large database) x86_64 is slower but you need it for the memory :) [07:51] !de | markus [07:51] markus: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, und #edubuntu-de [07:51] im at the ubuntu page and want to download a 64bit version of ubuntu 8.10 but the file says amd 64 [07:51] Seveas, not in my experience [07:51] what's the point of making a Turion64 chip then?

[07:52] sfuentes, marketing value :) 64bit is the future [07:52] ok can i ask one more thing [07:52] theatrus, that's one thing the rpm distros did better, they call the arch by its official name: x86_64 :) [07:52] Seveas, my 100GB postgres instance is quite happy with its 32GB machine :) [07:53] solved it. it seems I misunderstood the BIOS options, and that there was one more sub-menu of boot devices to choose of. [07:53] i am running older version of 8.10 now before i restarted all of my external drives and sata's were working now it wont mount anything any advice??

Pastebin specific errors [07:54] ok [07:54] so its true that 64bit cpus take up more memory? [07:54] Seveas, which basically makes bloated java apps into super bloated java apps [07:54] sfuentes, cpu's don't consume memory [07:54] sfuentes, yes, 64bit applications can and probably will consume more memory, it may not matter to you however [07:55] Anyone who knows a free program for working with flash in ubuntu? [07:55] sfuentes, if your machine has less than 4GB of ram and you intend to keep it that way, just install the 32bit version [07:55] theatrus: why would it not matter? [07:55] anybosy can help me to get the file rt2860sta-dkms_1.8LK_all.deb ?? [07:55] sfuentes, on a 64bit machine, a pointer is twice as large as on 32bit machines.

I have had a mac for about one year now and have previously been using Ubuntu. I have stopped using Ubuntu because the sudden problems it caused were eating away my time. They were hardware problems, from my other pc. I want to try out Ubuntu on my Mac, see how it goes there. But i do not want to damage anything, that means no dual boot. Something like Wubi. How do i install ubuntu safely? [08:04] theatrus: you are right ... but seems like 64bit in my case seems completely useless [08:04] or pointless i should say [08:04] sfuentes, yeah, pretty much [08:04] anyone ever set up afp on ubuntu? [08:05] Does anybody have any advice on how to stop kernel packages getting upgraded via automatic update (aside from un-ticking the box every time) ? I've tried locking in Synaptic but they still get overridden. [08:05] better yet a VPN? [08:05] hi [08:05] narzy, VPN client or server? [08:05] server [08:05] hi when trying to run vuze 4 for the first time i see in the terminal that i need to get a newer swt.jar for my amd64 pc.. when I get it will it be enough to put it just in /usr/share/jave or do i need to copy it to the 3 other locations that the old version shows up at?? [08:05] Anyone? [08:05] theatrus and Seveas: thanks for the valuable info [08:06] anyone using kaffend with dvb? want to know how to getthe best quality with codecs and so. please. [08:06] L2tp over ipsec [08:06] e e e /java .. sorry.. [08:06] does anyone here have any comments (good or bad) about the intel core 2 duo e 7200 [08:06] Arelis, Get a real computer. [08:06] Arelis, you could use Wubi on Windows [08:06] Sa[i]nT: Gee, thanks for the support. I have a mac now. [08:06] Arelis, or use VMWare Fusion (i believe it will run on that) [08:06] the e7200 is fast enough [08:06] will be a lot slower, right? [08:07] someone know what the name was of that virtual computer programm for linux? [08:07] Arelis, certain things, yes [08:07] what program to use in place of the F Spot program that is loaded by default ? [08:07] Computech, VirtualBox? VMware? kvm? xen? [08:07] VirtualBox [08:07] Get Qemu [08:07] theatrus, whats the best one from then (exept vmware) [08:07] guys how do i mount a ntfs partition? [08:07] Computech, ease of use, virtualbox [08:07] !ntfs | hfmls [08:07] hfmls: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:08] does virtual box have some kind of support for 3d games? [08:08] Computech, for server virtualization, kvm is easier to adapt (i.e., no special kernels) [08:08] !ntfs-3g [08:08] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:08] Computech, if you're trying to do games, you should try WINE [08:08] theatrus its just for home use :) [08:08] nah its not for games [08:08] Computech, check their application support index [08:08] but i was just asking [08:08] Computech: I wouldn't count on it. !wine is your best bet. [08:08] is there any way to easily view a jfs partition from windows? [08:08] pretty much any full virtualization thing basically doesn't pass through 3d [08:08] MenZa, ok [08:09] with the exception of VMware 6.5 [08:09] and then only barely [08:09] theatrus, i c [08:09] virtual box 2.1 does 3d [08:09] does virtualbox have some kind of virtual machine drivers to? (like vmware does) [08:09] What do you mean, Computech? [08:10] WINE does a pretty good job at 3d Windows apps, so if the application can run on that its your best bet [08:10] Computech: like VMWare Tools? yes [08:10] rww, ok [08:10] salamu alikum [08:10] MenZa, i ment what rww said [08:10] using gksudo ntfs-config, i chose mount, and then it says an error ocorred [08:10] Computech: Its as easy as vmware, works good for me [08:10] k i go try virtual box [08:10] virtualbox has a very nice seamless mode [08:10] I have a problem with a program called aptoncd [08:10] nibbler seamless? [08:11] hi when trying to run vuze 4 for the first time i see in the terminal that i need to get a newer swt.jar for my amd64 pc.. when I get it will it be enough to put it just in /usr/share/java or do i need to copy it to the 3 other locations that the old version shows up at?? [08:11] Computech: meaning, you can run your Windows applications, seemingly on your Ubuntu box; e.g. hide your desktop and just show the windows. [08:11] Computech: just gives you the windows taskbar into your linux desktop, and nicely integreats windows-windows into your desktop [08:11] Menza, oh thats nice [08:11] when i click on the create an error message appears [08:11] actually just sets windows desktop to transparent i think [08:11] it is FATAL -> Failed to fork.

[08:17] alaqsory: I forget the command to deploy the packages, though [08:17] MenZa i will try and will tell you the result [08:17] ReXiO: first xp, then linux. as xp isnt aware of anything else but micrsoft, but linux cares... but it can only care if its bootloader isnt externally overwritten :) [08:17] alaqsory: The result should just be a list of packages you have installed [08:18] hey, how do I change totem audio output to my headset?

[09:23] dangit: not specifically but I had that in my syslog yesterday. It wasnt a random gdm crash, it was a consistent gdm crash at boot after either installing virtualbox or the machine not shutting down correctly. fsck -y resolved it for me. see here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6454592#post6454592.

[10:17] * EgYPaRaDoX brb [10:18] apparle: we are talking about OSS as in the alternative to alsa, right? [10:18] Nilesh, from what I understand, he is in backtrack. [10:18] ohh [10:19] i guess he should login into rescue mode === adante_ is now known as adante === bakarat_ is now known as mlkjqsdf [10:19] is there a way to revert apt to a previous installation? [10:19] (so basically uninstall whatever was installed in the last X days) [10:20] are these packges enough to install LAMP? apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server [10:20] - it seems fine. [10:20] Slart: thanks, btw testdisk says that it works with ntfs under descriptions [10:20] Hello everyone, I got the following gamepad-related problem in ubuntu 8.10/64bit: The axis movement generally is recognized (I have used a calibration program), but in both supertux and supertuxkart I cannot assign any axis movement to controls and axis movements are not used if they are set by default (supertux), but even though supertuxkart seems to see them (e. g. axis motion: which 0 axis 0 value -57) it fails to use them. [10:20] What can I do about that? [10:21] Gamepad buttons do work. [10:21] since last week my ubuntu 8.10 installation is randomly crashing, i suspect a recently installed package is the reason (though i don't know which), can i somehow revert to the point in time when the system was rock solid? [10:21] Slart: Yes, but what to do when ALSA doesn't work and any ways OSS4 is out which is not at all outdated [10:21] quit [10:21] err [10:22] i made a bootable usb but i cant boot from it [10:22] I create a launch on desktop. input /usr/alibaba/freemind/freemind.sh . i can not start the launch. but i can start it in terminal. anyone know why? [10:22] - how did u made it ? [10:23] nilesh, the program in the administration menu.. [10:23] ikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkknkkkkkkkk0... [10:24] I create a launch on desktop. input /usr/alibaba/freemind/freemind.sh . i can not start the launch. but i can start it in terminal. anyone know why? [10:24] nbeebo - sorry but i dint that? [10:24] Hiya all, I'm trying to copy one of my DVDs to an avi on my computer, and I want to make it as small as possible. ie, strip away menus and languages and stuff, leaving only the movie. I have a notebook with no cd drive, so this is my only way to watch dvds. [10:24] hi. i have issues with an intel i865G graphics card and intrepid (from Xorg.log): http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/393439/ [10:24] random crashes of X11 [10:24] nbeebo - sorry but i dint get that? [10:24] nilesh?... ubuntu menu > system > administration > live usb install [10:24] ohh this way [10:24] yes [10:25] i believe this is related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491205 [10:25] what's the name of the package of the query analyser of mysql in Synaptic??? [10:26] So basically, if anyone knows any programs and or guides to creating avis from dvds, that would be really helpful. (google seems to continually point to the same article about ogmrip, which isn't quite what I need) [10:26] i made a bootable usb but i cant boot from it [10:27] nbeebo - https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [10:27] apparle: here's part of a discussion I found while googling..

[10:27] Nilesh, oh thank you very much! [10:27] I create a launch on desktop. input /usr/alibaba/freemind/freemind.sh . i can not start the launch. but i can start it in terminal. anyone know why? [10:27] apparle: and what to do it alsa doesn't work? well..I have no idea [10:27] nbeebo - and let me know whether it works for you. [10:27] Nilesh, yes of course [10:28] nbeebo - good luck. [10:28] is there any GUI for Mysql that i can create, manage databases and write queries??? [10:28] - phpmyadmin [10:28] apparle: note that the thread is from 2004.. [10:29] - i never tried webmin .... but you can give a try. [10:29] !webmin [10:29] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. === Aryan is now known as Guest39686 [10:29] rockyrock1: you've searched in synaptic for "mysql gui", right? [10:30] good [10:32] !ebox [10:32] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management.

[10:38] besides tht stupid intel thing [10:38] does it means 2 processors ? [10:38] 2 cores.. not 2 processors [10:38] yes Nilesh [10:39] dual core means a motherboard capable of supporting 2 processors [10:39] ant! [10:39] yes my question is..... what do you mean by 2 cores ? [10:39] if u got a Pentium D u definately have 2 processors onit [10:39] thanks mobile madness [10:39] well .. 2 cores in the sense it can support two processors [10:40] mobile_madness: http://www.chotocheeta.com/2007/09/01/difference-between-intel-core-2-duo-vs-intel-dual-core-vs-intel-pentium-d/ [10:40] what kernel does ubuntu 8.10 use [10:40] 2.6.27?

Then I installed xubuntu-desktop and launched it, which also went fine. It told me it had some (automated?) updates to isntall and gave me the option to reboot, so I did. But I was sent to blank(black) screen instead, and nothing happened. Couldn't bring up another shell with CTRL+ALT+Fkey or anything like that, so I chose to [10:54] Heliodor: so better to always reinstall from scratch to be updated?

[11:22] ikonia: i did install it in a vm on win on my ubuntu box, but it acts kinda flaky [11:22] peace no idea of the menu system for kubuntu, however if you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out he line that starts with "deb xxx cdrom" [11:22] PokerFacePenguin so ? [11:22] PokerFacePenguin: thats nothing to do with linux/ubuntu [11:23] bazhang but i cant edit that file... [11:23] peace once you have commented out that line with a # if you do a sudo apt-get update it should re-read that file and stop asking you for a cdrom [11:23] peace: use sudo to launch and editor to edit ir, eg: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [11:23] ikonia: remain quiet if you don't have something positive to say [11:23] PokerFacePenguin no - I'm explaining to you the facts [11:23] peace, sure you can kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of cd entry then save and update [11:23] PokerFacePenguin: if you don't want to know the correct response don't ask the question [11:23] samthetwohippman it reads information about nVidia and ATI video support only ... but nothing about x3100 [11:23] ikonia: i was asking for help ...sue me [11:23] PokerFacePenguin, please lose the attitude [11:24] And.. yes.. I do have the latest version of Ubuntu [11:24] PokerFacePenguin: I'm just exaplining, it's not supported on linux as the website says, and a vm not performing isn't really linux/ubuntu's issue [11:24] cebit:_ go to this website: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/ it will help. I promise. Just type in the question that you have [11:25] cebit:_ x3100 what: who is the manufacturere?

Can't add files to my fileshare from my winbox tho it's set "writable = yes" :-/ [11:39] cebit:_try a live cd, like kubuntu, or some other distribution like knoppix, and/or a few other distributions, and if the problem remains the same, you might have a hardware problem with your laptop.

[11:46] KenBW22, you have xming installed on the windows machine? [11:46] KenBW22, if not .. insall Xming :) [11:47] dr_willis: ah, thanks [11:47] AMDMutant: in /srv/samba/share "share" has drwxr-xr-x and is owned by nobody nogroup [11:47] stefodnb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/95024/ [11:47] sorry [11:47] dr_willis: *tries to sudo apt-get Xming* oh yea, windows [11:47] KenBW22, xming is soo handy. I have my linux machines X apps showing up on the Windows desktop. :) or ya can do it fullscreen. or run a whole desktop [11:47] :) [11:47] KenBW22, yea.. ya sort of need a X server on windows to display the apps :) [11:48] looks fine dunno [11:48] dr_willis: that makes sense [11:48] KenBW22, or use vnc I guess.. [11:48] "samba" is also drwxr-xr-x but it's owned by root [11:49] hi, i am using vpnc v. 0.5.1, and i keep getting disconnected from the vpn... how can i find out why this is occuring? [11:49] KenBW22, http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ seems to be an up to date site with info.. some other sites are a bit old [11:49] i get disconnected from the vpn after approx. 5 minutes [11:50] stefodnb: any idea ? :S [11:51] no [11:51] it's very strange, 8.10 i think it was suport to that card [11:51] hi [11:53] is there a way to DL all the packages for 8.1 ? I'm heading for the land of no internet [11:53] ...all the packages? [11:53] Hello. What is a reccomended file system for USB media sticks in a linux only environment? [11:53] erm yes all.. [11:53] vlt: ext3 is good. [11:53] kop: That's a lot of data. [11:53] Hi, I'm having problems to mount usb devices under 8.10. As soon as I connect an MP3 player, my usb keyboard stops working.How can I fix this? [11:53] vlt ext2/3 or if shareing btween different machines - could use vfat [11:53] MenZa, better a lot than none [11:53] vlt: ext2. ext3 has journalling, which increases the number of writes to disk which, theoretically, reduces the life of your USB stick. [11:54] vlt sort of depends on what youa re doing wih the sticks. [11:54] kop: Still, you want to download every single package from the repositories? [11:54] vlt: I'm not convinced by the anti-journalling argument, but I've heard it a lot, and I'm no expert *shrug*. [11:54] hey all [11:54] It would take more than a few min to explain why but yes [11:54] You can get 2gb THumbDrives for $5 now. :) im not too worried about them wearing out. [11:55] dr_willis: im a bit stuck with this xming [11:55] I am not an ubuntu user. but this comes closer to an ubuntu question than anything else. so I came here looking for help [11:55] dr_willis: exactly. Plus I've never had a USB drive wear out. They usually die due to washing-machine-related issues [11:55] KenBW22, you did read the docs at http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ ? :) [11:55] I need info on how to compile a kernel that will allow fglrx to work [11:55] rww, Grandson tried to flush mine :) [11:55] I installed zfs-fuse, and I made a zpool and everything. I'm trying to share it via nfs, when I restart my nfs server, it says I need the right fsid, anyone know what that is? [11:55] ubuntu's kernel allows this [11:56] dr_willis: kind of, theyre not very friendly [11:56] kop: I really don't recommend doing this, but you can do sudo apt-get install * to install them. mind you, this is several gigabytes of data, and not all packages will be useful for you. o_O [11:56] and my distros does not for idealogical purposes [11:56] kop: Godspeed if you do. [11:56] can someone point me in the right direction as far as kernel configuration goes? [11:56] KenBW22, install the packages.. run the xming wizard, connect to remote box.. unless thers somthing more specific ya want to do. [11:56] rufsketch1: which Linux distribution are you using? [11:56] rww: sidux [11:57] "run the xing wizard" - that wasnt shown to me [11:57] MenZa, that is the crux of the issue I don't need all the pkgs but need to have them availible [11:57] dr_willis: I just want to the stick to share data between different ubuntu machines (and users). Could there be any problems when using ext? [11:57] I just need to dl thewhole thing [11:57] Hmm.. last i used sidux they had some script/tool that set up the nvidia/fglrx stuff.. but then again.. you may want to try the sidux channels... [11:58] kop: In that case, sudo aptitude download * [11:58] vlt: what problem are you having? [11:58] that easy ? [11:58] yup [11:58] vlt with ext2 it WILL keep ownership and permissions.. thus user bob may or may not be able to read/write user Bubba's files on that stick [11:58] But are you sure you have the room for it? [11:58] rufsketch1: Hmm. Try asking in the channel #ati (/join #ati) on this server. #ubuntu can't help with non-Ubuntu problems. [11:59] rww: ok, thanks [11:59] i'll try [11:59] MenZa, this from an old BSD usr that had to deal w/ slo or no internet for months [11:59] rufsketch1: I want to put a file system on an empty USB storage stick and don't know which to choose best in a linux only environment. [11:59] kop: still, this is terabytes of data we're talking about [11:59] * dr_willis dumped sidux for ' idealogical purposes ' [12:00] vlt if just using it to transfer files and you want everyone to read them with no hassles.. vfat prioberly is the best bet [12:00] vlt if it messed up you can always try other fs's later.. not likt its hard to change them [12:00] MenZa, TB I got connection I don't [12:00] * rww has never heard of sidux, but prefers distributions that give users the ability to satisfy their ideology, rather than requiring it [12:00] heh [12:00] Good luck with it, kop [12:01] dr_willis: ok, thanks. I just thought there was a (usable) OSS alternative to vfat ... [12:01] dr_willis: i think i have it right, but now it's trying to log in using username "Kenneth" when my username is "kenneth". i assume it's pulling that from the Windows machine. how do i override that? [12:01] rww: well, as it is. fglrx works with linux by acting illegally agains the gpl. so it's not hard to see why they don't wish to support it. that said [12:02] * rufsketch1 prefers distros with ridiculously good hardware support >_< [12:02] vlt: vfat or ext2. vfat has a 4GB file-size limit and no permissions, but is readable by non-Linux operating systems. ext2 doesn't have either of those limits but isn't Windows or OS X readable by default [12:02] vlt ext2 and 3 are useable.. but as i said.. a Linux native FS - WILL keep ownership/permissions - that may be a good thing.. or bad thing.. depending on your needs [12:02] rww: ati seems dead quiet :( [12:02] rufsketch1: fglrx doesn't violate the GPL. The issues involved are complex and off-topic for this channel, though. [12:02] what is the cause if an usb device is mounted only temporarily? [12:02] MenZa, it's this or thumb drive by RFC1149 [12:03] I am not able to Ctrl + Alt + F1 into a virtual terminal. Does this work for anyone else in 8.10 or did the globally disable this? [12:03] i just installed usbmount, but that doesn't seem to help. [12:03] Enselic: does Ctrl-Alt-F2 work? Sometimes, F1 doesn't work for me but F2 does... I never bothered figuring out why. (I'm on 8.10 too.) [12:03] rww: nope F2 fails too [12:04] Enselic, thers a xorg.conf option to disble it.. but Its not disbled by default. could be compiz is grabbing some key input.. but im not sure it can grab That combo. [12:04] MenZa, I'll save you the search and thanx for the help http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html [12:06] Hi! Is there a command (apt-cache...) that lists all installed packages that are not available in the activated repositories? [12:06] zoed: :) no how would that work [12:06] Enselic: it looks at each installed package and then searches through the packages available through a repisotory [12:08] how to get -dev of the program i'm installing from source? (i need new jackd for ardour, which i also want to build from source...) [12:08] for dependency [12:08] does anyone know of a way to convert URL files (the links used by Internet Explorer in Favorites) to files that can be imported into Mozilla Firefox bookmarks? [12:08] Enselic: I mean, the information of currently installed packages is available and the information of packages available in activated repositories is available, so somehow a command can combine them. [12:09] ..for some reason Banshee (media library app, like rhythmbox) doesn't play any audio files... (I can play them fine in other players) version 1.4.1 on Hardy ... any ideas? [12:09] archman⚘ apt-get build-dep [12:09] zoed: but the information of packages available in not activated repos is not available [12:09] hateball: when i'm in source directory? === leonidas_ is now known as Guest30358 [12:10] archman⚘ you can be anywhere you like :) [12:10] Enselic: yeah, I only want to find out about "manually" installed debs: currently installed packages that are not available in my current activated repos. [12:10] hateball: i'm installing new version which is not in repositories for gutsy! [12:11] archman⚘ alright. well then it might not work, if the new version requires newer version of the libs. [12:11] hateball: my question is: if i install jackd via sources, will ardour scons recognize new jack? [12:11] dr_willis: does this xming have a compulsory "donation"? [12:11] archman: maybe you should just upgrade from gutsy? [12:11] zoed: I'm confused, but maybe you are looking for debfoster? Run that and it will ask you about packages you installed yourself [12:11] archman⚘ any reason you're still using Gutsy? [12:11] KenBW22, Not that i have ever seen.. and i jsut downloaded/installed it.. You do have to download it from the Sourceforge page - that other URL/docs has bad links. [12:12] hateball zoed : i have all my hardware and software pretty set-up (emotional...) [12:12] How can i go back before last upgrade some package with Firefox? [12:12] KenBW22, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=156984 i get the 'xming' and 'xming fonts' packages from there. [12:12] hateball: any other way from building development files from sources? [12:13] dr_willis: do i have to download the fonts one? [12:13] Enselic: no, thats sth different. I'll try to rephrase [12:13] KenBW22, try it without. and see. [12:13] /topic [12:13] kop: I am well aware of RFC 1149 :) [12:13] KenBW22, i tend to use a lot of old X apps - so it may or may not be needed in your case [12:14] Is there a command that outputs the list of packages that are currently installed and not available in the current repositories? [12:14] how can i check cd burned from iso? [12:14] dr_willis: what about the log in issue i'm having? it tries to log in as "Kenneth" instead of "kenneth" [12:14] zoed: how would they be installed if they are not available int he repos ? [12:14] Is it possible to pull an older version of a particular package out of the repositories? [12:15] ikonia: through a manually downloaded .deb [12:15] (but it is dvd burned with cd iso) [12:15] MenZa, more than happy to bring back an old memory but how about something more useful ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352460 [12:15] Hi... in Kubuntu 8.10 (64 bits) - sometimes my mouse just stops working... [12:15] zoed: you'd hav to do a dpkg -l then a a for loop on each package with apt to see which are from teh repo and which are not [12:15] KenBW22, what log issue? for xming. i ran the wizard and told it who to login as. :) i made it run a xterminal and saved a shortcut. Now i can double click on the icon on the windows desktopp and up pops a Linux Xterm from my fileserver [12:15] MenZa, I'm still rtfm atm but I may have answered my own question [12:15] hi [12:15] how do i edit fstab to automount usb devices? i'm using 8.10. [12:16] dr_willis: is the fact that i downloaded the portable one causing problems? [12:16] how can i check cd burned from iso? [12:16] (but it is dvd burned with cd iso) [12:16] claus, using fstab would disable automounting - except at boot time... the fstab gets read and all decvic es set to automount at boot are mounted.. [12:16] directly [12:16] dinar you need to use a cd [12:16] not maiking iso backward [12:16] hi [12:16] dinar: not a dvd [12:16] ikonia: is it possible to istall dev files from sources? like when you install ie xmms-dev via synaptic [12:16] i see. [12:16] KenBW22, the putty-portable is an addational package. to the xming package not a replacement.. from what i gathered [12:16] does anyone know of a way to convert URL files (the links used by Internet Explorer in Favorites) to files that can be imported into Mozilla Firefox bookmarks under Ubuntu? Thanks. [12:16] ikonia: is there a command like "dpkg-query --not-installed-through-repos" that does that? [12:17] archman: yes and now [12:17] dr_willis: ah [12:17] archman: yes and no [12:17] but as i know it should work [12:17] anyone here can help me make a xorg.conf for my specific monitor please? [12:17] it worked [12:17] How can i go back before last upgrade some package with Firefox? [12:17] ikonia: maybe some info to start with? i wanna try... [12:17] archman: yes you can, as when you compile something it creates the libs as well as the binaries, no, as in when you use the make file to install it installs teh binaries as awell as the libs, you'd have to manually copy each lib into place [12:17] tnx [12:17] archman: I would STRONGLY advise you not to do this EVER [12:17] KenBW22, :) i did the same thing at start.. xming asks which putty to use.. it includes both.. the potable is just a 'portable putty' package they include for convience [12:18] my problem is that i cannot mount two usb devices at once. (i'm having a rather old dfi board w/ bios from 1999.) === dngr- is now known as dngr [12:18] claus, i had issues with the installer making 2 entries in the fstab for the cdrom drive.. the first usb thumb drive would NOT mount properly. but the 2nd would.. :) [12:19] claus, bigger hammer ? --sry all I got :-/ [12:19] claus, try mounting them manually. see if you can do it that way. [12:19] brb [12:20] dr_willis: got gedit running on Windows :D [12:20] anyone able to offer help on playback problem with Banshee? [12:20] dr_willis: thanks a lot :D [12:21] how do I know the exact location of the devices? they are a=) my usb keyboard and b) an MP3 player (/media/EMO). the mount would be /dev/>something>,though. [12:21] hello [12:21] KenBW22, i like the terminal program 'terminator' :) its a multi-gnome-terminal app thats hand - saves me from having 3+ xterms open. [12:21] Bossmanbeta: what exactly is the problem? [12:21] KenBW22, you can run putty and with the right putty options get apps X forwarded also.. but i just launch a xterm.. easier then using putty [12:21] dr_willis: what's up with gnome-terminl? [12:21] terminal* [12:22] ikonia: so, by default make make install i do not have devel files installed on system? [12:22] archman no you will install development libs, headers and binaries with that command, which will cause a miss-match which is why I'm saying you should never do that === Igorots is now known as Igorot [12:22] Jurgentje, it seems to import music fine from local directories, but it won't play any audio files.... though I can play mp3's fine in VLC and XMMS or Audacity [12:23] KenBW22, http://freshmeat.net/projects/gnometerminator/?branch_id=70626&release_id=268543 [12:23] now i am making iso file back from dvd [12:23] Jurgentje, it's version 1.4.1 on Hardy... the program works fine, other than it won't play any of the audio files. I know it uses gstreamer, but other media players i run also use it, and they play the files fine. [12:23] with k3b [12:23] and then will check it [12:23] dr_willis: gnome-terminal has tabs, no? [12:24] i tried md5sum /dev/cdrom but that has not matched [12:25] !development [12:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about development [12:25] ikonia: devel libs? will they be recognized by scons (i'm trying to install new ardour2.7, which requires at least jack 0.109. (gusty is not supported); so i'm trying to pull it as much as it goes with gutsy, cause i love it, and i don't have any reason to upgrade, except this) [12:25] dr [12:26] ikonia: you say i should not install via sources either? [12:26] archman: well thats a touch call [12:27] hello ikonia [12:27] archman: I would not advise doing what your suggesting, I would advise taking the distro forward to a more supported base system, as each application has a knock on effect eg: jack depends on $X, $X dpeends on $Y etc etc etc [12:27] mrwes: hello [12:27] ikonia: but isnt installing from sources used for this cases, when you have no other way? [12:28] ikonia: yes...let me think of it... [12:28] archman: well again, yes a no. It is a valid method if you know what you are doing and how to maintain your system and ensure no conflicts [12:28] archman: I appriciate you have no other reason to move to hardy or intrepid, however if you move to a supported version or more active version you can request a package update [12:29] archman: where as you won't get it for gutsy [12:29] imade cd iso back from dvd with k3b and checked it matched [12:29] archman: does that make a little more sense ? [12:29] yes, but.. [12:29] :D [12:29] ikonia : you think LTS will ever be more than 3 years for the desktop version? [12:29] Jurgentje, thanks for your help. [12:30] mrwes: no idea, I think 3 years is a reasonable time [12:30] does anyone know an open jabber server w/ a working msn transport [12:30] ikonia : server version is 5 years, right? [12:30] yes === Guest86089 is now known as amitprakash === ubuntu_ is now known as ihmSelbst99 [12:32] does anyone know a working msn transport for jabber IM clients? [12:32] hello [12:33] what does the slider called "stored in reserved extra space" do in usb-creator? [12:33] ive been trying for about 15 hours or more to install ubuntu without working cd, what could i do? [12:33] nbeebo: why without a cd? [12:34] Stavros, you can have a set of space reserved fpr persistant storage for the user to user that is saved to the card. for docs and so forth.. its handy. :) [12:34] stavros, cd drive isnt working [12:34] Stavros: it enables you to store changes in the ubuntu live system. e.g. you can boot the usb drive and then use add/remove to install new programs. If there is enough "reserved extra space", these apps will be saved. [12:34] nbeebo: install it to a usb and install from there [12:34] you can also save stuff on desktop etc. [12:34] back [12:34] hello [12:34] Stavros, i set mine to be 512mb for my casual user. :) [12:34] dr_willis: yes, but what's stored there? what if i don't set anything to that? [12:34] dr_willis: is it the size of the /home dir [12:34] ? [12:34] i need to configure my xorg because i dont get a good resolution would anyone help me set my modeline and things like that please? [12:34] Stavros, anything your user changes/adds is stored there. the thing makes a bootable live-cd thing with persistant storage.. basically. Not the same as a normal install [12:35] stavros, ive been trying bot i cant boot from it [12:35] if i want to upgrade a package, does it get saved in this space, or in the rest? [12:35] dr_willis: hmm yes, but you can still run apt on it and install things, no? [12:35] Stavros, any extra installed packages go there also. [12:35] dr_willis: so it makes sense to set it to as much as i can? [12:35] Stavros, using apt-get update/upgrade may or may not cause issues.. since its NOT the same as a full install. [12:35] hmm [12:35] Stavros, yes. I set mine to fill up most all the thumbdrive [12:36] dr_willis: ah, thanks... so if i set it to less, the rest of the space will just be unused and lost, i take it? [12:36] dr_willis: how's the preformance on a usb? Better than a cd? [12:36] Stavros, you may NOT want to run a 'update/upgrade' since that may take up a lot of space. [12:36] dr_willis: ah, thanks === mgjs is now known as mgs [12:36] Stavros, you can still mount the thumbdrive and access the space as vfat if you want.. or do like i do and use the TD. also for windows files. [12:36] mrwes, its useable.. but slow :) faster then cd.. MUCH faster to install. [12:37] mrwes, a lot depends on your thumbdrive [12:37] dr_willis: ah, i see, so it leaves a vfat partition and formats what you specify as ext2, i take it [12:37] Stavros, it has a ext2 filesystem in a file [12:37] how do i install ubuntu from usb? [12:37] I think. :) [12:37] oh, interesting [12:37] dr_willis: thanks for your help [12:37] ! [12:37] nbeebo, use unetbootin, make a bootable live thumbdrive.. boot. use install icon. [12:38] dr_willis, ive done that before didnt work ill do it again then thanks.. [12:38] nbeebo, or use that usb-boot cd from a 8.10 install. [12:38] i have problem . desktop shell enviroment will get all var from .bashrc .bash_profile? [12:38] I have a problem regarding NFS shares. I have shared a directory, which holds a drive mount in it, ie. I've shared /data and one of the subdirs contains a drive mount from the fstab file. I can easily see the contents of the NFS share, until I try to browse the drive mount. Does anyone know a way to allow me to see the files on the drive mount trough NFS? [12:38] nbeebo, its worked here.. some issues are often with specific thumbdrives and geting them bootable.. [12:38] nbeebo, thers also docs at pendrivelinux web site on doing it manually. [12:39] dr_willis so you can use the flash drive for installations? [12:39] How can i go back before last upgrade of some packages with Firefox? [12:39] mrwes, yes.. all the time now. :) MUCH MUCH faster [12:39] 7926 ? Z 0:00 [aplay] defunct ?? [12:39] dr_willis, how can u find out if theres any issue with my model then? kingston something [12:39] i have problem . desktop shell enviroment will get all var from .bashrc .bash_profile? [12:39] dr_willis, how can I* [12:39] mrwes, with unetbootin you can take the alternative-installer cd and make a very fast installer thumbdrive [12:39] dr_willis does it take a 'snapshot' of your current installation, or is it just the basic installation like the cd? [12:39] Z for Zombie but ?? [12:40] nbeebo, i imagine thers not an issue.. its just a matter of getting the right installer files set up on it. unetbootin may be having a issue.. try the manual method at the pendrive site. or try booting a 8.10 live cd . and let IT make one.. [12:40] dr_willis is there a link with a HOWTO on that? [12:40] mrwes, it uses the iso file. it does NOT clone your current install [12:40] ok [12:41] mrwes, i install/run unetbootin.. run it.. point it to .iso and go! :) [12:41] dr_willis, i got no cd so i cant do that but ill make it manual when i have the power to... [12:41] dr_willis that's gotta fly [12:41] nbeebo, try making the device from a different machine. :) friends or so forth.. if one machine has no cd. [12:42] mrwes, i had to 'tweak' the thing to get it to use the nvidia drivers properly however. :) but thats life.

And it's not a really good idea just to message a random person you see helping someone, better just to ask your question, and ask the channel, not one person. [12:56] does anyone know a really good free website to teach me how to use ubuntu? [12:57] specifically terminal stuff?

[13:00] gbear14275: just informative. in linux extensions have no meaning [13:01] LordMetroid: Try disabling desktop effects if you think that they are causing performance issues. That would be the only time where graphics card AA would play any role in day-to-day operations [13:01] bobbob1016, why didnt you just say you didnt want to help? :) [13:01] gbear14275: check out the "advanced bash scripting guide" [13:01] erUSUL: thanks, so one thing I have noticed is when navigating to the script in terminal the script will be colored if it has a .sh extension but not if not... is it just common practice to append .sh to the end of scripts and so thats why it is colored if it has the annex?

[13:06] and yes php packages already installed [13:06] Major_Sam can you show me what document ? [13:06] bobbyd how is that then ? [13:06] and import php cgi to apache configure?

[13:14] ikonia : absolutely [13:15] dr_willis: i'm curious... how much ram is needed for smooth running vbox in your opinion? [13:15] dado_pusing: what does the log file say [13:15] eesh, what id I wander into here [13:15] onetinsoldier, depends on what you are running in the vm. :) I normally use it to test out live cd's so i can get buy with giving the VM 512mb or so. [13:15] ikonia: it should, as the LRU policy is is share memory, even it it's not being used [13:16] * Lasivian protests with a big sign saying "FREE MORE RAM!" heh [13:16] ikonia : wait, i'll check it out [13:16] ranok: I'm disagreeing - but as I said, I'm interested to know if it makes a difference [13:16] ranok: certainly not stating it's a "fact2 [13:16] " [13:16] dr_willis: i see. i might check out a vbox installed sometime so i was just wondering [13:16] every time ive ever seen someone try to 'tweak' linux ram ussage like they do in windows.. it never matters :) Linux is smarter about ram ussage then the users are. [13:17] If I use top and pres Shift+M I get memory usage. Is there something similar for swap usage?

[13:32] guys thanks my apache2 can parse *.php now [13:32] thanks for your supports [13:32] :D [13:32] lyrae: right click on the image -> properties -> click on the Image TAB and its there [13:33] gmathews: failed to load image information [13:33] is what it says [13:33] try another picture [13:33] hmm, ubuntu manual partitioning doesn't offer the option of resizing partitions [13:34] anyway I can resize a few partitions manually without booting gparted? [13:34] (in the install) [13:34] jrgp install gparted on yoru system [13:34] gmathews: it works [13:34] lyrae: Sweet. [13:34] jrgp: you can't do it if the partitions are mounted/in use [13:34] gmathews: thanks [13:34] I know that, I'm installing from the ubuntu boot cd [13:34] jrgp so then you can use gparted on that cd [13:35] ah, ok, I'll have to restart, boot to the cd again, and pick "try without any changes" then? [13:35] jrgp: clicking on 'edit partition' doesn't allow you to change you mind about the size? are you sure> [13:35] ? [13:36] it doesn't let you move the partition around the disk [13:36] jrgp: ok, roger [13:37] hello friends, My sendmail program is too slow to send emails,.... Please help me [13:37] poomalai areyou going direct onto the internet or relaying through your isop [13:37] poomalai: try #sendmail [13:37] isp [13:37] ikonia: is 'fsck -y /dev/sda5' the proper command to run for my NTFS partition in recovery mode? [13:38] gmathews don't run fsck on ntfs, never with -y [13:38] ikonia: how can i check it for errors then? [13:38] gmathews: there is a tool (I can't reemmber it's name) to mark an ntfs partition as clean, but I never recommend it, boot into windows and use chkdisk [13:38] ikonia, I am not sure what are you asking about.... I am using DSL connection and i am using dyndns [13:38] Damn it I hate booting into windows... :/ [13:38] poomalai thats not a recommended methods [13:39] Can u please suggest me how to setup sendmail... i am a newbie to both linux and sendmail [13:39] poomalai relay through your isp, and try the #sendmail channel as suggested [13:40] hi all. I have a problem with CRT monitor on Nvidia 7600 GS . nvidia-settings gives me refresh rate under 85Hz , when I try to set 100 Hz manually in etc/X11/xorg.conf my screen becames resolution 640x480 :( Please help [13:40] ikonia: it didnt work [13:40] poomalai: why not using postfix? its much easier and supporter mta from ubuntu [13:40] Rec0: in what way didn't work [13:40] my grub is restored but my ntldr is missing [13:40] thanks for suggestion... I wanted to be able to be sending mail from php... thats why i installed sendmail [13:40] on a system with 2gigs of physical ram, is a swap partition of 1gig good enough? [13:40] Rec0: thats nothing to do with grub [13:40] ok [13:40] Is there any other way? [13:40] Rec0: ntldr is held on your windows partition, grub doesn't touch that [13:41] poomalai: setting up sendmail can be pretty complex. as DIFH-iceroot suggested, you might want to ask in the #sendmail channel, and do a lot of reading [13:41] maybe the mistake is in the menu.lst? [13:41] ok... Thanks a lot for your help.... :) [13:41] what is the drawback of having no swap partition? [13:42] Lasivian if you run out of ram tehre is no where to swap [13:42] Lasivian: no possibility to hibernate [13:42] i've got a little netbook with 8gb of SSD and 1.5gb ram, so I idn't bother with a swap [13:42] Lasivian: wouldn't worry about it [13:42] how can i look up what exactly (hd2,0) is [13:42] ikonia: thanks :) [13:43] What is a good scheduler software for ubuntu/kubuntu?

[13:45] can anybody help me with this f*** refresh rate? [13:45] gmathews: don't forget to reboot too, and yw [13:45] hi [13:45] Eli_Turk, cronjobs is not an application you can get with apt, it's a core part of Linux itself [13:46] ardchoille: whats yw? [13:46] jrgp, Oh. Hmmm... [13:46] Eli_Turk: wXremind - http://www.duke.edu/~dgraham/wxRemind/ [13:46] Eli_Turk, http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm [13:46] jrgp it is an application [13:46] right, but not a graphical one [13:46] jrgp it's nothing to do with "linux" [13:46] gmathews: you're welcome [13:46] unix, as well as linux [13:46] grau: Its not that anyone doesnt want to help you, maybe we dont know...try posting your query on the forums [13:46] what flash player do people recommend on 64bit I was told that the macromedia one was buggy [13:47] earthen install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" [13:47] ardchoille: hahaha sweet mate [13:47] earthen: thats all you need [13:47] gmathews: ok. thank you [13:47] onetinsoldier, Thank you.

[13:48] I have already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:48] gmathews it's a closed source product, so you need a product (realplayer) that has teh codecs [13:48] gmathews: vlc? [13:48] Hello [13:48] hi [13:48] DIFH-iceroot: VLC doesnt play them do they? [13:48] earthen: i recommend a manual install of the latest flash 10 beta from adobe --> http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [13:48] Is it normal that i cant see Amarok2 on dcop list ? :/ [13:49] gmathews: dont know but vlc works fine with most files here, so i thought its playing *.rm too [13:49] my audacity won't start any more. I've already tried reinstalling and launching form console... any ideas how to fix it? [13:49] onetinsoldier, it's good and stable [13:49] earthen: go to ~/.mozilla ...then mkdir plugins ...then unpack the libflash file into ~/.mozilla/plugins [13:49] Anyone have an answer to my problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022770 [13:49] DIFH-iceroot: think *rm is the only one which is not supported. I was looking for something similiar to RealAlternative in Winblows [13:50] is there a gnome gui setup for my extra mouse buttons? [13:50] earthen: yes.. it is. it's probably better than some final releases. :-) [13:50] hi folks, i just loaded up ubuntu's live cd. i have an existing installation on /dev/sda2. if i chose to install ubuntu on /dev/sda2 without formatting the partition, will i maintain whatever's in the /home directory and wipe out the rest of the system dirs? [13:50] like the way X has a "keyboard shortcuts" setup [13:50] earthen it is NOT stable [13:50] earthen: hence the big word "BETA" at the front [13:50] gmathews: ok, then sorry for my anwser, did not know that [13:50] DIFH-iceroot: haha no worries mate :) [13:51] onetinsoldier, ikonia I know it's beta but does it crash every 5 min is what i want to know [13:51] fulat2k is your home dir on a seperate partition [13:51] earthen it does [13:51] earthen: it is not in a stable state [13:51] ikonia, unfrotunately not. it's all in sda2 [13:51] fulat2k then you need to wipe /dev/sda2 [13:51] earthen: it is a beta... but it is a very good and well behaving beta. no, it is very stable. it really is better than some final releases i've seen === dstar_ is now known as dstar [13:52] I want to make the mouse's "horizontal scrollwheel" options to change workspaces [13:52] I have a friend who would like her computer to boot into cli instead of gnome, how can I make this happen? [13:52] ardchoille disable the gdm script with update-rc [13:52] earthen: no, it is very stable. --> by that i meant, no, it doesn not crash every five minutes or anything like that [13:52] onetinsoldier, ikonia ok guess it depends on the system it is installed on then thanks guys [13:52] ikonia: ah, thank you [13:53] earthen: you're welcome [13:53] onetinsoldier, I'll give it a shot [13:53] Anyone have an answer to my problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022770 [13:53] earthen: ok, i'm pretty certain you'll be glad you did [13:53] sekinto: Sorry bud...:( [13:54] sekinto that is a windows problem - and a virtual box problem, take it to the virtual box support groups [13:54] my audacity won't start any more. I've already tried reinstalling and launching form console... any ideas how to fix it? [13:54] Does anyone know How one earth Ubuntu knows that when I plug in my scanner/printer in my USB I can automatically go into XSANE and start scanning stuff where as with Windows I need to install the HP software for about half an hour to get it working?

[13:55] I am not able to connect to a smb share using 'connect to server' option in places [13:55] i am using ubuntu 8.10 [13:55] gmathews: perhaps because the driver is already in the linux kernel? [13:56] onetinsoldier: is that how linux works? it has drivers for every piece of hardware out there? [13:56] gmathews: i'm just guessing [13:56] gmathews: how can I "look for it" after I have it completely removed? [13:56] I get this error message 'No application is registered as handling this file' [13:56] jopk: the same way you looked for it the first time :P [13:56] what is the last version of ubuntu ?

[14:05] hello [14:06] Eli_Turk: you're welcome. and when you go to install it, you can use 'checkinstall' to make a .deb package of it if you want. sudo apt-get install checkinstall [14:07] hi [14:07] ciao a tutte [14:07] who do i know which .dll file i need for wine [14:07] gmathews: well, sine my 8.10 install is the gnome flavor, i decided to install Kubuntu for jaunty 9.04. so it's what i'm using right now [14:08] since* [14:08] onetinsoldier, Hmmm...

[14:16] drkop: you can auto login with Intrepid :) [14:16] saler: there are a few different versions available, but start by trying out the latest... sudo apt-get install automake1.9 [14:16] roca: we can read it [14:16] onetinsoldier,ok i will try it [14:16] saler: wait [14:16] gmathews, thanks [14:16] ok [14:17] Hello, since pulse was changed to be the deafault sound daemon I am running into issues. I have followed the wiki article but still not working. [14:17] gmathews: only? i have hardy [14:17] I have sound and it's fine, until I start listening to something with flash [14:17] saler: the lastest version is apparently 1.10... installed by sudo apt-get automake [14:17] i tried googling the answer,strange i din't get answer?maybe i should'nt have hided volume of drive? [14:17] then the sound from the local system doesn't work.. . no sound at all... [14:17] is the program mkntfs installed on live cd? [14:17] KevinK: in firefox search for about:plugins make sure t [14:17] and then if I try to start flash again sound doesn't work.... [14:17] I have to reboot to fix the issue. [14:17] I have tried restarting alsa as well as pulse and it still doesn't work. [14:17] drkop: it is an additional feature during the installation of Intrepid where u can check it to auto log in - not sure what app you need for Hardy. [14:17] onetinsoldier,wait :) [14:17] does anyone have ideas? [14:18] saler: but i don't think it hurts to install the various versions of automake that are available if you choose to [14:18] KevinK: make sure only one flash else could cause conflict [14:18] gmathews: are you talking about autologin as is or with etoken? [14:18] saler: :) hehe [14:18] ikonia, then what's the checkbox to format the partition for? what happens if i don't? [14:18] saler when and where did you get that error? what were you doing? [14:19] fulat2k the check box is to enable/disable fomatting of the partition, if this is a system partition you need to format it [14:19] abhi1, it's a switch in the gconfig editor you want to look for. there use to be a menu item called "alacarte" I believe that gave access to gconfig. Weird I can't find it in my Hardy install right now.. It's usually off the Applications menu and in Intrepid I believe it was moved to System/Admin and renamed it.. [14:19] I have a shockwave flash and futuresplash player listed under "flash" [14:19] drkop: as is. Check http://chezfrank.theharpers.biz/2008/04/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-automatic-login.html [14:19] when i have a landscape-a4 document in inkscape, and print it, it it printed in portrait mode (scaled down). [14:19] is that normal? [14:19] how do I print it in landscape mode? [14:19] sinbox: you trying to compile some source code? [14:19] saler: you trying to compile some source code? [14:19] ikonia, mkfs on that partition? [14:19] sinbox, when i try to exec autogen.sh "rtorrent" [14:19] abhi1, alacart is actually the menu .. not the gconfig editor. [14:19] sinbox: sorry, that was meamnt for saler [14:19] yay my Sony Cybershot works in Ubuntu ...Gone are the days of driver installation [14:20] ok fine,where i will find it? [14:20] not right now onetinsoldier but in a while I will, in fact I need to compile and enable debugging as the previous compile threw segfaults at me, but I don't know how to enable debug and what to do after that :) [14:20] gmathews: this one as is - no etoken protect === keres`zZz is now known as keres [14:20] drkop: I am not sure with etoken [14:21] abhi1, it's a switch in the gconfig editor you want to look for. there use to be a menu item called "alacarte" I believe that gave access to gconfig. Weird I can't find it in my Hardy install right now.. It's usually off the Applications menu and in Intrepid I believe it was moved to System/Admin and renamed it..now its renamed to what,do u have any idea? [14:21] gmathews: aladdin etoken - pki usb [14:21] anyone famliar with wmctrl? [14:21] Where can i get a list of all the new features in Intrepid [14:21] abhi1, my menues are all mixed up because of my last upgrade. you'll have to look for it in your menus .. once found you'll still have to search the directory tree of gconfig to find the switch.. shouldn't be that hard though.. [14:21] Trying to troubleshoot the sticky feature [14:21] drkop: you could read the etoken manual [14:21] I won't be able to help you with that saler sorry [14:21] top [14:22] gmathews: i did =) [14:22] flo-isback: I have a shockwave flash and futuresplash player listed under "flash".

If u can tell me that i'll feel oblige [15:52] :) [15:53] no [15:53] Xman, maybe you should be using windows xD [15:53] Decepticon why not? [15:53] Decepticon: I've suggested that 4 times to you and you just keep going blindly [15:53] its a bit dense for me [15:53] morgen [15:53] is there a place more dedicated to "apache" for the ubuntu community, specially for newbie ? [15:53] Decepticon: your going to end up damaging your remove machine [15:53] what do you mean [15:53] Decepticon: then contact the person who supports your box to admin it for you [15:54] Broly: i just use windows for gaming only and the other work is done on ubuntu [15:54] Xman: That line about the infinite loop: EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [15:54] Decepticon I meant your "remote" machine, sorry [15:54] he left, now i admin it... === k is now known as Guest45666 [15:54] #ubuntu-es [15:54] Decepticon then I suggest you contact the person and exaplin you can't admin it [15:54] its just this beginning part [15:54] i dont make users or add them to sudoers everyday [15:54] Xman: What version of ubuntu are you using? [15:54] Xman: lsb_release -a [15:55] Decepticon pretty serious part, and if you can't understand the syntax at this level - it's unwise for you to continue on this machine [15:55] hi there! i need help on how to configure moodle database in ubuntu [15:55] Decepticon: You need to relogin before group changs can take effect.

[15:57] why not [15:57] Xman: then look for something like "Intrepid EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. " Or ask others in the channel about this bug, there seem to be lots of other people experiencing similar issues [15:57] Decepticon: Look at the output of "id -a" when adding a secondary group membership before and after login [15:57] Broly: Because it's a support channel, not a LOLLERSKATES channel [15:57] Broly: Because its unneeded and only creates excess scrolling in this channel.

[16:03] Decepticon: I see... I was asking because it's a common error using the root's password [16:03] i looked at id -a for the user, and it seems to be the same stuff as my user, with some minor differences, so i dont understand why he cant sudo but i can [16:03] ikonia syntax of what command should i look at [16:03] Decepticon: Is the user listed in /etc/sudoerrs, or does it belong to the same group than your user?

[16:04] norbert79 the user was added to admin group but is not in /etc/sudoers [16:04] noiz: Try ##networking [16:04] Decepticon: in sudoers file, there is stated that all users in grp admin may have the right to use sudo [16:05] ichbinesderelch well its not working [16:05] Decepticon: /etc/sudoerrs is the file for handling SUDO... I don't know how yours is right now set, but check the content, maybe your default user was autmatically included [16:05] ichbinesderelch: Unless it has been changed [16:05] Xman: I would consider not using the intel driver and using vesa for now, that should at least leave your machine in a working state, even if you can't get compiz or fancy 3d stuff to work [16:05] heh pici like ##networking is active [16:05] noiz: Your question is offtopic for #ubuntu, I'm just telling you what the proper channel is [16:05] Good day - when running Ubuntu in recovery mode why is it that when I want to run fsck It says that /dev/sda6 is mounted - how do i run fsck theb?

[16:07] mii-tool shows the link is active [16:08] gmathews: You cannot do a fsck on a mounted filesystem, (right now it is your /) [16:08] I tried booting to an earlier version of the kernel, still nothing [16:08] gmathews: Makes a file called forcefsck in the root directory which upon next boot, will tell the system to run fsck [16:08] <{}zombie> can someone tell me how to change the mount point of my mp3 player?

[16:14] !rootirc | root_____ [16:14] root_____: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [16:14] {}zombie: For example with gparted [16:14] <{}zombie> norbert79: i changed the label with gparted, but the mountpoint still is the same [16:14] Did you remounted the device?

[16:18] !checkinstall | gnk use this the next time [16:18] gnk use this the next time: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [16:19] Skaag, don't ask for help without explaining the problem.

Check if you have enabled Wifi support by pressing Fn+Fx (the button on your laptop) [16:28] pschorf: what package are you gdb'ing [16:28] anyone knows how to make my controllers and joysticks work in linux? [16:28] norbert79: I'm fairly new. What are backport and restricted modules? [16:28] orgthingy: Just plug it in [16:28] I have added [16:28] Administrator: Those are packages which are add-ons to the kernel [16:28] What do i do next gmatthews [16:28] ikonia, it's happening on anything I try...even a hello world program [16:28] hi there [16:29] okay lukasz open Synaptic -> Refresh [16:29] ok [16:29] Administrator: use apt-search backport | grep linux for listing backported modules [16:29] lukasz: i mean reload :) [16:29] !backport [16:29] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [16:29] i am looking for a ms-access like db application for linux .... ????????

Is it possible to make full copy of current system with something like "sudo cp /* /mount/hd2/*" ? [16:31] ikonia: now how to create a sqlite db ? [16:32] yes [16:32] F-3000: i think you should use a disk copy (partion to another) [16:32] silv3r_m00n sqlite is a flat file database, you create it using definitions like access, openoffice database is it's own application [16:32] silv3r_m00n: #sql [16:32] F-3000: well you need at least "cp -a" but tar; cpio or a patition clonning program are more apropiate for that task [16:33] F-3000: search dd [16:33] * Lasivian pushes the button on her upgrade.. see you on the other side! heh [16:34] Lasivian: good luck :P [16:34] pschorf: have you tried "sudo gdb ..." maybe it is a permissions issue...

[17:15] lukasz, paste.ubuntu.com with the error [17:15] Kartagis; no, i mean your router may have your laptop a static ip of .2 .. you could change that in your router to have your MAC address of your laptop set to .2 instead of .1 [17:16] Here is the error I get when trying to install it!

[18:30] sinbox, you can use that link, provided you install something first (eg fluxbox, lxde, etc) otherwise you wont have any wm at all [18:31] ok thanks, I do realise I've got to have something in place first bazhang saw a couple of people making that mistake over the last couple of days :) [18:31] Paddy_EIRE: well, I am still in the very beginning spec'ing stages... not sure what all is offered yet...

The -s means simulate only ie it wont actually do anything, just tell you what would be removed...

I don't want to get stuck with drivers that are rarely updated or just not available [18:33] danand_: But I kind of want to do every package separately, and it is a big list.

There's also ##offtopic, #defocus, etc. [18:35] sirstan_, shouldn't it be possible with a shell command also ? [18:36] tim167, sure. I bet 'find' can do it. [18:36] sekinto, did you take a look at the psychocat link? [18:36] tim167: you might look at man find [18:36] Paddy_EIRE: yes, I have found ubuntu help to be great... which is why I switched to it and am very happy (heck, my wife uses it too now) [18:36] ardchoille: thanks, i will [18:38] Pici Hmm, there is a lot of what I need? [18:38] tim167: look at the -size switch in man find [18:38] i keep trying to install windows, and it says that there might be a faulty cd/dvd or harddrive, and then it quits. i've tried reburning the cd, redownloading it, using a USB stick, using a different HDD, using another HDD. but it happens on every one of them [18:38] s/switch/argument [18:38] щр [18:39] oh [18:39] A4Tech: You can join #ubuntu-bots if you need help with the plugins [18:39] no no, everything out. thanks [18:39] sinbox: The Phychocat link had things on it that I knew I wanted to keep. [18:40] i keep trying to install ubuntu, and it says that there might be a faulty cd/dvd or harddrive. It says "The following file did not match its source copy on the CD/DVD" several times, and then it quits. i've tried reburning the cd, redownloading it, using a USB stick, using a different HDD, using another HDD. but it happens on every one of them [18:40] sinbox: I guess I could go through each one, that might take awhile though. [18:40] yamanickill: Are you burning at low speed? [18:40] i've tried both fast and slow MenZa [18:40] exactly, you can edit that list and take out the ones you want to keep sekinto, or at least I think so. [18:40] yamanickill, run the memory test. [18:40] i am getting an input signal out of range when i try to start armyops any fix? [18:40] yamanickill, sounds like the md5 error [18:40] How do I edit GRUB so that Windows XP starts by default, please? [18:40] yamanickill: You should always burn slowly. Have you tried checking the md5sum of the iso once downloaded, and of the disk itself when burnt? [18:41] !burning | yamanickill [18:41] yamanickill: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [18:41] -_- [18:41] its !md5 [18:41] sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst LetsGo67 change the default option [18:41] i have done MenZa, and i've also tried crunchbang as well, so its not just the normal ubuntu that does it [18:41] Thx bud. [18:41] i'll go recheck the md5 [18:41] Great. [18:42] LetsGo67: its line 15 i think [18:42] thing is, i've also used cds that worked before [18:42] thx again :) [18:42] and also cds that i got with linux format, and linux magazine [18:43] hello, my MBR is screwed. I can't load with grub, The only way to enter my system is with a KNOPPIX live CD. Are there any way to fix the MBR for Ubuntu from within the Knoppix live CD ? [18:43] needhelp: you can try and use SuperGrubDisk [18:43] i am getting an "input signal out of range" when i try to start armyops game any fix? [18:43] yamanickill: Sounds like your CD drive might be fubar'ed. [18:44] MenZa: thats what i thought...so i tried a usb drive instead. and it did the same thing [18:44] i am not sure, but you can fix grub with ubuntu live cd needhelp [18:44] jaffarkelshac, I think it's easier to use qtgrub, just for next time. :) 'Cause I'm lost in that file. [18:44] after i share an entire pc where will it show up on my other computer [18:44] yamanickill: That sounds very weird. Motherboard? O_o [18:44] !grub [18:44] 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 [18:44] MenZa: thats what i didn't want you to say [18:44] yamanickill: perhaps yes, but problem is: This computer doesnt have burner, and the other computer (which I am trying to fix atm) doesnt have internet. [18:44] yamanickill: I honestly can't find any other ideas. RAM perhaps? Try running the memory test on the CD. [18:44] yamanickill: If the USB drive says the same thing, are you sure the download went ok? I would md5sum the .iso you downloaded [18:45] !qtgrub [18:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about qtgrub [18:45] ASULutzy: He has md5sum'ed it, and checked it post-burn [18:45] sinbox: Some of the things on there make no sense what-so-ever though; why would Ruby even be on that list??? [18:45] oh, LetsGo67 i guess what ever works for you. did that work then [18:45] Jaffarkelshac: But I don't have ubuntu live cd. I know I can download it and burn it, but... see the reply to yamanickill [18:45] ASULutzy: i have done, and i have also used cds that worked before [18:45] jaffarkelshac, how do I install it, though? [18:45] Who's FloodBot? [18:45] see i am worried that it will be the MB cause i've had some problems with my MB since i got it [18:46] anyone? [18:46] Well, I'm not sure sekinto I didn't write the list, I am going to use the gnome one but I'll be sure to check it carefully first though [18:46] never used it before LetsGo67 [18:46] costlyeffects: what good is saying "anyone?" [18:46] needhelp: can your computer boot from usb? [18:46] ikonia i was asking you about this earlier [18:46] if so, use UNetBootIn to burn SGD to a USB drive, and boot off that [18:46] Hdelp! [18:47] costlyeffects, places > network [18:47] yamanickill: i am not sure, I could look in the BIOS if there's any option for it. Can SuperGrubDisk be installed on a usb disk ? [18:47] costlyeffects: yes so what good is saying anyone. if they didn't see your question, anyone doesn't tell them about it, if they don't know the answer saying anyone won't make them know [18:47] I bought a nividia 7300GT and now only I see is a breige/white/brown screen [18:47] needhelp: any ISO you burn to cd/dvd can be installed onto a usb disk, using Unetbootin [18:47] !nvidia | jeroen- [18:47] jeroen-: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:47] sinbox: Maybe it would be better just to remove the icons in the Gnome menu, it isn't like those extra packages will bog down the system at all... they just sit there looking pretty taking up a little hard drive space. Plus I might use them in the future anyway. [18:48] jeroen-, which version of ubuntu, which drivers installed and from where [18:48] !qgrubeditor [18:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about qgrubeditor [18:48] bazhang: 8.10 and I installed 173 [18:48] but before I installed that I had teh same problem [18:48] MenZa: any other ideas? apart from my motherboard being useless. [18:48] sweetlord, never been in a room with this many people haha [18:48] jeroen-, from the hardware drivers? is not 177 recommended? [18:48] net [18:49] bazhang: I dont know, I only have a cli [18:49] yamanickill: None whatsoever; except you could try checking the RAM. [18:49] in my case I made the mistake of not paying attention and installing a full ubuntu when I just wanted the minimal command line install only sekinto [18:49] thx man ttyl [18:49] when i used DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer at boot, I'm getting the message that pkgsel/include command in my preseed file is invalid. It does not exists :S [18:49] jeroen-, cli? why would you need xserver drivers then [18:49] ok, i'll go reboot and check the ram. could that make the difference? really? [18:49] yamanickill, what are you using to burn this [18:49] bazhang: i cant use X [18:50] burn ubuntu? bazhang? [18:50] jeroen-, boot into safe mode [18:50] ok [18:50] yamanickill: thanks for the tip. I will try downloading ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso and put it on a memory disk using unetbootin [18:50] yamanickill, to burn the iso [18:50] 1 m [18:50] hi, could any body help me? i've bought an hp laptop, DV9823, and installed Ubuntu, everything seem to be working exept my WiFi and Bluetooth. thank you [18:50] yamanickill: I'm not sure if it can. It's worth a shot, though. [18:50] bazhang: i used the built in cd burner to burn it to cd, and unetbootin to put it on the usb stick [18:51] i am getting an "input signal out of range" when i try to start armyops game any fix for this? [18:51] but i think crunchbang might just be about to work [18:51] its gotten higher than any of them have done [18:51] yamanickill, then it is likely the media if md5 sum passes as well as the disk integrity check [18:51] bazhang: yes I am at the recovery menu [18:51] bazhang: but i tried cds, usb drives, and 3 different harddrives [18:52] anyone here have experience with webcams in ubuntu. i'm finally entering web 2.0 :p [18:52] bazhang: I did a xfix [18:52] yamanickill, what I meant was the media (ie cd quality, sometimes are name brand but are in fact counterfeit) [18:53] is that want you ment? [18:53] are should I drop to the root prompt [18:53] jeroen-, did you install nvidia-settings [18:53] podman, web 2.0 isnt about webcams. [18:53] bazhang: no not yet [18:53] so i accidentally deleted deleted my Desktop folder and now all my files from my ~/ folder is on the desktop, how do i change it back to ~/Desktop ? [18:53] sirstan_: i joke :p [18:53] no network in safe mode [18:54] bazhang: i tried 2 different brands. and my usb drives are kingston and cruzer [18:54] hi [18:54] i'm a programmer, never really been much into webcams and all that jazz, but recently getting into skype to talk to my sister who is going out of the country for 6mos [18:54] podman: i got my webcam working partially withonly green colors [18:54] i have a problem with sound in intrepid - having to use killall pulse-audio a lot [18:54] does anyone have a fix?

[18:54] i've been looking at logitech quickcam 9000 and philips spc 900 [18:55] they seem to be on the list to get working easily in ubuntu..

[18:56] 5 inches...ok lol [18:56] podman, have you seen the Clique HUE HD?

[18:58] *dancing* [18:58] _M4rk_: all major mail apps support the client side, if you want an IMAP capable mail server look at ebox [18:58] _M4rk_: what do you want to do? using an imap mail-box? then use thunderbird [18:58] lukeW: i got pulseaudio working fine, do you have the alsaplugin for pulseaudio installed?

[19:31] AnnonyMouse, amarok :) [19:31] is ubuntu 8.10 better of 8.043 [19:31] costlyeffects : NFS can be tricky. make use of webmin to simplify sys-admin [19:31] 8.04 [19:31] MattJ: can't I call: ejabberdctl start [19:31] webmin?

[19:33] retskrad, go with 8.10 [19:33] drewby : could b bad install [19:33] AnnonyMouse, and why do you say that? i have never saw my computer use more than 5mb swap so it seems a waste [19:33] jrgp, you can bypass the network manager and setup your connection in /etc/network/interfaces [19:33] hello :d [19:33] gania [19:33] :d [19:33] You know what?

My internet doesnt seem to work in uubntu, but it works in windows.. I have a wired modem [19:34] AnnonyMouse: i'll give it a shot [19:34] RukusX: So you'll want at least as much swap as ram if you're planning to do that.

[19:38] i think thats what i did [19:38] well [19:39] i installed ubuntu clean never used vista that came with the lappy === geo_ is now known as geo [19:39] so the killswitch seems to be on, how do i fix that [19:39] i have a machine that stopped responding to pings and was rebooted before i got here. what error logs can i look at to determine what happened? [19:39] smokeymirror: No idea what kind of laptop you have. If it's a fn+other key combo, or an actual switch etc. Main point is that wifi has to be enabled before you boot Ubuntu [19:40] ozzloy : dmesg [19:40] ozzloy: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog etc [19:40] oh [19:40] !pm | smokeymirror [19:40] smokeymirror: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

Then again, there could be something else that makes it... not work. Just saying there's a bug regarding killswitches [19:41] erUSUL: thanks [19:41] nvm i think i had an outdated driver i just downloaded it manually [19:41] Sorry! [19:41] well i've never seen it blue [19:41] because i never used the vista that was installed [19:42] so i just went straigt from factory boot to ubuntu install [19:42] usser same error [19:42] hi [19:43] costlyeffects, pastebin your exports, did u run exportfs -a after you edited the file [19:43] yes [19:43] in NetworkManager, what does Link-Local only do for wired ethernet connections?

[19:44] ok [19:44] Pici help me please [19:45] there was only a slip that came with my laptop no windows cd or anything [19:45] costlyeffects, also that ip address in /etc/exports specifies which computers are allowed to connect if you're not connecting from that ip the access will be denied [19:45] lol my question is something which #debian will send me to #ubuntu and the vice versa, lol.. by anyways thanks [19:45] ill go look in that and see [19:45] thanks for your help i will be back later if i still cannot figure it out [19:45] thanks a lot hateball :) ja matane [19:45] A4Tech: With?

[19:47] costlyeffects, are u trying to mount the exported directory on the local machine? [19:47] At least it doesn't show in dmesg. [19:47] costlyeffects, try changing the ip in /etc/exports to 127.0.0.1 [19:48] got a problem installing "sudo apt-get libpng12-dev" , anyone know what going on? [19:48] i want my machine to run a network script on boot. what's the proper way to do this? [19:48] recon69: you forgot 'install' [19:48] in ubuntu 8.04? [19:48] 'sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev' [19:48] costlyeffects, make the ip this to allow anyone to mount: 192.168.1.0/24 [19:48] ok usser i did that and it gave the same error [19:48] costlyeffects, or if u want to allow anyone on your network change it to this /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) [19:49] costlyeffects, make sure you do exportfs -a and sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart each time you edit the file [19:49] Is somebody here? [19:49] nope [19:49] Really? oO [19:49] ;) [19:49] ozzloy: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ ?? [19:50] ozzloy: and /etc/network/interfaces file ?? [19:50] actually, this time it said: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 127.0.0.1:/home [19:50] hi guys, i'm running xubuntu-live but when running fsck it sayd i dont have fsck.ntfs... how to get it? [19:50] *says [19:50] costlyeffects, try this /home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) [19:51] nickguest: As far as I'm aware, Linux still can't fsck an NTFS partition [19:51] costlyeffects, and mount it with sudo mount 192.168.1.2:/home /mnt [19:51] eseven73: well, it's a friend and he had install in the command, was 8.10 , saw a post in the forums reporting similar , wondering if it's a known bug with 8.10? [19:51] !ntfs | nickguest: [19:51] nickguest:: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:51] I'm have trouble executing bin file.....I get bash: ecs.bin: command not found...I am in the directory where the file is located...any ideas? [19:51] usser: why would you mount something at /mnt? [19:51] Ok, how do I make /usr/share/vuze/ writable by anyone/thing? [19:51] Hondo_Kitsune: you don't want to do that [19:51] Flannel really? stefg thx [19:52] !permissions | Hondo_Kitsune [19:52] Hondo_Kitsune: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:52] raylu: I do want to do that, Vuze cannot update unless I do it [19:52] Hondo_Kitsune: then run vuze as root [19:52] danand_: thanks! [19:52] Flannel and why exists fsck.ntfs then? [19:52] Hondo_Kitsune: or install it to your home dir [19:52] raylu: I shouldn't need to [19:52] raylu, thats what this directory is for :) [19:52] Having a weird power management issue here - my GNOME Power Manager insists I'm on AC power even when it's disconnected from the charger, with battery discharging [19:52] nickguest: If it exists, then I'm mistaken [19:52] recon69: im not familiar with that lib, you'd problably have to google for the "bug" or just keep asking, just dont repeat more than like every 5-10 mins. [19:53] I have succesfull Amarok 2.0 working :D [19:53] usser: no, you're mounting it at /mnt instead of a directory inside /mnt [19:53] nickguest: it looks for fsck.[file system name] [19:53] nickguest: so if fsck.ntfs were ever developed, it would work without additional configuration [19:53] raylu: It was a .DEB package [19:53] nickguest: but Flannel is right... ntfs is proprietary, so there'S no linux implementazion of chkdsk for ntfs. you can only force to mount a damaged ntfs to rescue files, but this doesn't repair anything and is dangerous [19:53] raylu, yea. i just got used to doing it that way, i guess separate mount points in mnt is the proper way [19:53] Hondo_Kitsune: well, whoever packaged that didn't think that through. it's still possible to install debs in your home dir [19:53] Thank you for your help everyone you made my day :) [19:54] recon69: you can try to find the bug in http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [19:54] hi, i have a 'marble mouse' which under windows can simulate a scroll button by pushing button 3 or 4 while scrolling the track ball, how can i do this in ubuntu ? thanks [19:55] oops https* recon69 [19:55] ok thank you guys [19:55] raylu: Can't you just tell me what to type to set the perms. The link you gave me makes no sence to me [19:55] Hondo_Kitsune: i didn't give that link and, again, you don't want to do that [19:55] Hondo_Kitsune: so you want the 'admin' group to have write access to that dir (b/c only admins/members of the sudoer group should be avble to do an update [19:55] I'm have trouble executing bin file.....I get bash: ecs.bin: command not found...I am in the directory where the file is located...any ideas? [19:55] i go, goodbye [19:55] Hondo_Kitsune: it defeats the purpose of having permissions if you hand out write access === gnu is now known as Guest1869 [19:55] Hondo_Kitsune: you can chmod 777 it, but again you're probably making a mistake to do that [19:55] raylu: It is one directory [19:56] jme: Why? [19:56] Hondo_Kitsune: that only means it's less stupid [19:56] are there any howto's on setting up: D-Link DWL-AG132 USB wireless network adapater "card"? [19:56] Hondo_Kitsune: it doesn't make it a smart thing to do [19:56] raylu: Never said it was, running as root to do the update [19:56] max9ai: giving global permissions to any file, frankly, is just asking for trouble [19:56] I've tried to google, but not with much success [19:56] williammanda_, try ./ecs.bin [19:56] eseven73: thx, i'll keep digging [19:57] raylu: then i'll leave it in user mode for normal operations [19:57] I am outahere for today!

[20:03] slart...yes [20:03] I have install i386 ubuntu on my core2duo just because I was scared than amd64 will not work. Was I right? [20:04] Does anyone know how I would completely remove everything from a drive inside Ubuntu? [20:04] max9ai: No, either 32bit or 64bit would run just fine [20:04] Hi Guys. Got a usb pendrive boot problem. I used ubuntu 8.10 livecd to create a usb boot drive using teh menu option. put it in my Packard Bell Easynote e5142. the pb happily gets as far as firing up syslinux 3.63, then complains about "invalid keyword in configuration file". Twice" then gives the boot: prompt. If i do [enter] it says it can't find linux, if i try "vmlinuz [enter]" it cant... [20:04] ...find vmlinuz. if i try "casper/vmlinuz[enter]" it starts to load.. then complains of an invalid or corrupt kernel image. so i copied vmlinuz to the root dir on the usb stick - still complains of invalid or corrupt kernal image. Any ideas? [20:04] Slart...william@CQD:~/ecs$ ./ecs.bin bash: ./ecs.bin: No such file or directory [20:04] max9ai: Of course, running 32bits isn't the end of the world either [20:04] max9ai: Core2Duo's support 64 bit, CoreDuo's do not, iirc [20:04] williammanda_: it's not ECS.bin or Ecs.bin? linux is case sensitive [20:05] Pici, I already have prepend domain-name-servers in dhclient.conf. do i need to disable modem dhcp for that to take effect network-wise? [20:05] Is amd64 better choise for core2duo? x_X [20:05] williammanda_: can you do a pastebin with the output from "ls -l" <-- that's an lower case L and from "./ecs.bin" [20:05] !paste | williammanda_ [20:05] williammanda_: 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) [20:05] max9ai: They're both fine choices for the processor. The question is: Do you want a 32bit OS or a 64bit OS? [20:05] Kartagis: No, that option will add your custom dns servers before any ones specified by the normal dhcp process. [20:05] Slart william@CQD:~/ecs$ ls ecs.bin ecs.bin [20:05] hello..I'm running ubuntu and having a problem with firefox...don't know if this is a bug or what...but when I go to a link such as youtube, the URL does not change at all when I click on a link. [20:05] sorry [20:05] in the address bar [20:05] williammanda_: pay attention.. the output from ls -l [20:06] Slart, at work, it does. i want to apply the same at home, and i want my desktop and laptop to use the same domain nameservers [20:06] max9ai: only on a server with loads of RAM... the average desktop user with no mare than 4 GB ram is just fine with a 32bit install . flash and some codecs .... [20:06] how should I post the results? [20:06] wine.... all that is troublesome on 64 bit === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk [20:06] I'm loving this liveCD thing.

[20:07] I have only 2Gb RAM. :) [20:07] max9ai: the speed difference is small.. I don't think you'd notice.. [20:07] max9ai: you won't notice it... only video encoding will have some benefits. [20:08] Slart http://pastebin.com/m7c11241a [20:08] max9ai: the only 64-bit feature normal users really notice is the amount of memory you can use [20:08] williammanda_: thanks..

[20:16] Slart, then how do i tell the router that 192.168.1.2 is the dhcp server? or is that handled automatically?

[20:25] hno1 [20:26] etronik_: i'd put it in /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/bin ... these are the traditional places [20:26] costlyeffects: on the server, add the drive to /etc/fstab (with a LABEL or UUID, not device name... USB device names is strange..) and /etc/exports [20:26] anyone know a way to get a menu to pop up in the 'blackbox' desktop using only the keyboard ?

[20:50] onceuponastack:Its just an Ubuntu 8.04 disc and Open Office [20:50] usser: please check PM [20:50] festy: those questions are very very hard to answer... when there is a package and it's accepted into the repos is perhaps the best answer you can get? [20:50] hnol, well right now i'd just like to be able to boot into windows, are you telling me that I've now lost all my data? can't rebuild a raid 0 array can you? [20:50] ah ok [20:51] festy: is it a new version? [20:51] Slart, yes, latest [20:51] festy: is it a security fix? or just a new version? [20:52] Okay, so what happened to http://rootprompt.org ? I just realized they have not had a post since May, but there is no news saying they are dead. Anyone with info? [20:52] festy: usually they don't update the packages for a ubuntu version unless it's a security fix or something really really really cool.. it might end up in the next version of ubuntu though.. jaunty [20:53] is anyone here familiar with synfig running in 8.10? [20:54] muse: never hears of synfig... what is it? [20:54] Slart, seems yes, it will be come with 9.04 [20:54] hno1, sorry to bug but nobody else is giving answers, and I'm going to be very annoyed if all my data is gone [20:54] can anoyone point me in the right direction to getting dual displays working with an intel gma card [20:54] muse: never heard of synfig... what is it? [20:54] onetinesoldier: it's animation software.. [20:54] where can I find the "wx" python package? [20:54] muse: oh. cool [20:54] i've just installed an ubuntu 8.04 amd64, and there is no kernel installed, nothing in /boot; how can i fix this? [20:54] hwilde: why are you have trouble finding it? [20:55] onetinsoldier: i have it working - had to compile it because it's broke in 8.10.. but simple things like drawing a rectangle are confusing the crud out of me [20:55] onetinsoldier, nevermind I wasn't grepping right [20:55] hwilde: have you searched in the repos for wx? [20:56] rblst: ehh.. and you're running it now? without a kernel? [20:56] hwilde: ok.. [20:56] Slart: the live cd, of course [20:56] i found it now [20:56] I wasn't lookin in the right place [20:56] sneakers2: Hopefully the data is still there, but it's hard to say how to recover it easily... [20:56] muse: oh, i see. sorry i can't help with it. i didn't even know what it was, hehe [20:56] is it possible to section off a part of my harddrive, copy an installation disk to it, boot from that section and begin installing as if i'm using a cd >.> [20:57] rblst: phew.. it was getting spooky there for a minute =).. I would try a reinstall.. don't know if you can just download the kernel and install it manually without the system running [20:57] D3RGPS31: In theory yes.. but no pre canned way to do that.. [20:57] anyone know how to sudo save from within vi? [20:57] is there a wubi irc channel? [20:58] zmanning_: if you're already running vi as a normal user I think you'll have to restart [20:58] zmanning_: I think you will just have to save it to your home dir and then copy it with sudo [20:58] zmanning_: :w /home/*username*/ [20:58] zmanning_: you could always save the file somewhere else if you've done many changes and don't want to do them again [20:58] zmanning_: :w /home/*username*/*filename* and it will be saved [20:58] Slart: and what would that change if i reinstall it? [20:59] will a fresh install work with my audio and video cards correctly or will i have to jump through the hoops again? [20:59] Slart, natbet, Biovore awesome thanks guys. makes sense. just wanted to make sure there wasnt an easy way to sudo from within vi. thanks again! [20:59] rblst: hopefully whatever happened when you installed it the first time won't happen again.. if the same thing happens again I would start checking the cd for defects, perhaps download a new iso and so on [20:59] D3RGPS31: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Installing without actually burning a CD? [21:00] D3RGPS31: Because you can probably use unetbootin for that [21:00] thanks, Slart [21:00] ASULutzy: yes! [21:01] grr, ubuntu detects my second monitor, but the second it loads to the desktop, second display goes black. ubuntu even SEEs the second desktop but wont activate it [21:01] what's the easiest way to revert a config file back to what was initially installed? [21:01] D3RGPS31: You can use gparted to create the partition for Ubuntu and then use unetbootin to install it to the partition without burning a CD [21:01] hi I think I have two duplicate IPs on my network. is there some way I can see their MACs ? [21:01] ASULutzy: i love you! [21:02] D3RGPS31: Er, cool, hopefully you love Ubuntu too :P [21:02] hwilde: arping is a good tool for that.. [21:02] SSilver2k: What video driver do you use? [21:02] Hey, how come I have to say how much space I want reserved for ubuntu changes when installing to a usb thumb drive? How come it doesn't just save changes until the drive is full? [21:03] Hello [21:03] ASULutzy: its the default itnel one, for an intel gma 950 [21:03] SSilver2k: What graphics card? [21:03] hno1, example? I tried and only got one response, with option -D [21:03] homy: Because, maybe you only want to use half of the USB stick for Ubuntu and the other half for storing office documents [21:03] jockey will not enable fglrx drivers on my laptop, it says they are available and i say to enable them and it says downloading the driver and then it cuts out and i'm left wiht a disabled driver, also, the system will not shut down from a graphical command, i can issue a sudo reboot or a sudo halt but clicking "shut down" or log off etc does nothing [21:03] SSilver2k: Have you tried installing grandr and fiddling with that? I've had some luck with that [21:03] Is it normal that i dont have Amarok2 on DCOP list ? [21:04] does anyone know how to make network manager automatically login to a wireless connection with a key and not ask for a password? I've been searching all day to find a way but I havn't been able to. I'm not very good at linux. [21:04] ASULutzy: but I mean: Can't I just use the usb stick for storing office documents AND for ubuntu? So, the space I don't need for ubuntu (yet) can be used for office documents and if I delete some office documents, I can save more changes in ubuntu. [21:04] hwilde: -D just checks if there is another station using that address. To check an active address other than your own don't specify any flags, just the address. [21:05] homy: If you hate partitions and like disorganization, sure I guess? [21:05] hey guys hello [21:05] hno1, hmm ok... [21:06] !welcome | harlemdavvey [21:06] harlemdavvey: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [21:06] can someone help me please? [21:06] Andrew1: I'm guessing you could edit the sudoers file to include network manager for all users [21:06] is anyone interested in blogs? i'm a blogger and i want to sponsorise a blogsite that's music-linux-related [21:06] hwilde: But it it's one of your own addresses then -D is useful, gives the MAC of the other station also using that address if any. [21:06] Andrew1: Er, actually network-config in the sudoers file [21:06] ciao [21:06] ASULutzy: gparted only shows me 1 partition on the thumb drive - after installing ubuntu on it and leaving some free space for other stuff. [21:07] So this partition-organization-thingy can't be the reason. [21:07] !list [21:07] 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 [21:07] hey all. i'm trying to get postfix running using the "Internet site" settings, on Ubuntu. I'm executing the "/etc/init.d/postfix start" command, and it says "OK", but then it acts like Postfix isn't even running, because issuing "reload" says it's not. Does anyone know where the logs for postfix are? [21:07] Dobry [21:07] how do i go to the sudoers file? [21:07] can someone put my html code on his blog/website??

[21:08] wiem :] [21:09] Seveas: a mail.log does though, maybe that's it! :P [21:09] rycole_, ah oops. redhatism :) [21:09] Andrew1: You can enable auto login via System -> Administration -> Login Window ->Security, as far as making specific apps have root privs, you can get that to work by editing the sudoers file [21:10] rycole_, /var/log/mail.info mail.err amail.warn nd mail.log [21:10] Andrew1: you'll want to set the system to automatically login, see the above message from --> ASULutzy [21:10] what's the easiest way to revert a config file back to what was initially installed? [21:10] homy: Er, why would you expect there to be another partition if you didn't make one? [21:10] jetsaredim: did you manually edit one of them? [21:10] jetsaredim, find someone who hasn't changed the file and have him send it. Or download the .deb and extract it [21:10] jetsaredim: dpkg-reconfigure [21:11] jetsaredim: Depends, dpkg-reconfigure, ask someone, purge the install and reinstall, etc [21:11] i have the system to automatically login [21:11] what is a segmentation fault ? [21:11] but when the wireless connection connects it asks for a password [21:12] to unlock the keyring [21:12] jetsaredim: what adaptr said might work.... dpkg-reconfigure -phigh ...but not all programs come with default config files. some aren't created until the program is started for the first time, ect [21:12] grayhane: an application tried to access memory it did not own; the kernel kills the application [21:12] Andrew1, so remove the passphrase from the keyring then . [21:12] cannot move `gspca.ko' to `/lib/modules/2.6.24-20-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/ <-- Where should I put it then? [21:12] adamb, TU [21:12] Andrew1: Yes, if you don't want that you'll have to let all users run network-config as root without a password, this can be achieved via the sudoers file... I googled a solution and found: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435906&page=2 though I'm not sure that's really that ideal. [21:12] i don't want to type the password in everytime i log in [21:13] ASULutzy, not a good idea that. [21:13] ASULutzy: you just said so! you said "homy: If you hate partitions and like disorganization, sure I guess?" As the answer for why free space on the usb thumb drive can't be used for office documents or ubuntu, without allocating a fixed fixed space for ubuntu in "usb-creator" [21:13] unop: Yea, I agree [21:13] !iso | danand_ [21:13] danand_, please see my private message [21:13] Andrew1, to unlock a keyrin you need to type a password (if it has one set) - if you find this to be annoying, don't set a password for the keyring. [21:14] homy: Right... And if you tell it to use 100% it'll make 1 big partition for the Ubuntu live stuff as well as to store persistent changes. If you told it to use 50%, then it would only make a partition that took up half the drive, and then you'd be free to make another partition on the pendrive for the remaining 50% and format it to whatever you wanted and use it for whatever you wanted... What's difficult to understand about this? [21:14] how do i not set a password for a keyring? you mean not have a password for my mom's account because this is her computer === adam is now known as Aframester [21:15] ASULutzy: that usb-creator didn't make any partitions! It only changed the ONE existing partition. [21:15] homy: lol right [21:15] AND: I can copy my own stuff in the ONE partition where ubuntu is installed [21:15] so if i don't have a password for her account then the network manager program won't want to unlock the keyring? [21:15] ASULutzy: yes, really. [21:16] Andrew1, the password for the gnome-keyring is different to that of the system account -- to reset the password for the keyring - use gnome-keyring-preferences [21:16] i wanto to go to a remote desktop of my friend what can i do?

[21:17] linux [21:17] sorry i've been using windows all my life until now it's difficult for me [21:18] asulutzy [21:18] harlemdavvey: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the best candidate [21:18] onetinsoldier: sudo iptables -L [21:18] harlemdavvey: I think you could ask that here, that ought to be support related? But there's always #ubuntu-offtopic [21:18] Slart: hey, thanks!

[21:21] eleos2: Your friend would have to run a VNC server in order for you to be able to use a remote desktop type feature. If all you need is to be able to remotely connect, then your friend could just install an ssh server, and you could ssh to it [21:22] dave_: mm..

Richard M. Stallman here. who needs help? lol [21:28] Andrew1: You can view the keyring via System -> Administration -> Authorizations [21:28] yo man [21:29] Slart: No, it didn't. See, the computer crashed while installing updates and I had to do a hard reboot. Then the problems began as I tried attempting to update my system again. [21:29] Andrew1: what is your problem?

[21:32] Slart: I guess, but it takes a long time [21:32] Gah, name conflict--let me change :) [21:32] Slart, right and then we'll rewrite all the unix man pages that have bene around for 20 yrs :) === dave__ is now known as Lothsahn [21:32] I just performed an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. My /home directory appears to not be mounting, but is present in /etc/fstab. It has a UUID= in the fstab, which I've never seen before. Anyone know how to fix? [21:32] Slart: IT just says something had an error and aborted [21:32] hwilde: no, didn't mean that.. just that error message from apt [21:32] Slart, what I want to know is, if you run a command that requires sudo, and the system knows it requires sudo, why doesn't it just run the command with sudo, and prompt you for the pw?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:33] Slart, it would still make it interactive and require the pw and essentially the same security [21:33] i was asking questions but then you said i shouldn't type too much because it will confuse peole [21:33] Andrew1, ask your question on one line [21:34] dave_: that was it? just one error message?

Or does the dialog only have a field to enter the password and ok/cancel buttons? [21:40] OT: does Dell own Alienware or do they just have a business partnership? [21:40] sevenseeker: #ubuntu-offtopic [21:40] no it doesn't [21:40] hi [21:40] dave_: ok, if you're afraid to delete, then move all those file somewhere else. otherwise, just delete them --> rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/updates* [21:40] hi, i run into severe trouble when installing a kubuntu distribution - i want to install it on an external raid 1- hdd that is connected via a pcmcia sata card [21:40] !offtopic | sevenseeker [21:40] sevenseeker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:40] it only has the password and ok cancel buttons [21:40] thanks, I got it [21:41] Andrew1: hm. [21:41] boot and grub are supposed to be installed to an usb stick (as bios only allows for boot from usb) [21:41] dave_: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u upgrade [21:41] can anybody offer any more information on this problem please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1024950 [21:41] i get many i/o exceptions [21:41] i could restart and double check but i'm 90% sure [21:41] rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/updates': Is a directory [21:41] Andre1: no. [21:42] ok [21:42] Andrew1, you're correct that there's no remember button, I'm in the same situation (if you're using 8.10) [21:42] dave_: my bad.. i had a typo. sorry. --> rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* [21:42] I also have autologin enabled [21:42] ya i just installed this on my moms old computer about a month ago [21:45] Andrew1: well, I found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/140755, but its with this check box. hm [21:47] Andrew1: but anyway that bug is fixed. [21:47] uhhh [21:47] yay netsplit [21:47] I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like lang=en_US,UTF-8 or something but that doesn't work. [21:47] * regeya grumbles [21:47] wow [21:48] haha [21:48] nice split [21:48] Oops I dit it again! [21:48] !netsplit [21:48] !netsplit [21:48] sorry! :+ [21:48] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [21:48] !!!# [21:48] !netsplit [21:48] I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like lang=en_US,UTF-8 or something but that doesn't work. [21:48] Andrew1, you still there? [21:49] Hi everyone.. For some reason my ubuntu machine crashes after a week, 3,4 days, it dies... cant login using ssh, and doesnt respond to pings... ive reinstalled it a few times and same deal.. .. i did memtest for around 2 days and its fine.. no errors.. how can i debug this? [21:49] hay guise [21:50] Hi everyone.. For some reason my ubuntu machine crashes after a week, 3,4 days, it dies... cant login using ssh, and doesnt respond to pings... ive reinstalled it a few times and same deal.. .. i did memtest for around 2 days and its fine.. no errors.. how can i debug this? [21:50] man, 600 joins at once, my client froze [21:50] just to make sure post split sees it :) [21:50] Pici, can i have that e1000 link again plz [21:50] can you repeat please Flannel ? [21:50] sneakers2: Did you take the CD out when you rebooted? What did you do after it rebooted? [21:50] folks, which driver has better visual performance for a nvidia gforce4 mx440? the restricted driver or the nvidia driver [21:50] dave_: thanks for letting me know i'm doing a good job :) [21:50] DamnSL: right click, go to properties, set it as executable, or use chmod from a terminal (chmod +x file) [21:50] dave_: :-) you're very welcome. [21:50] rblst: well.. I can't really think of any reason for the installer to skip the kernels.. [21:50] Flannel, i didn't have a cd inserted, the instal cd was mounted [21:50] thanks [21:50] does firefox 2 and firefox 3 have the same dependencies??? i am asking this because i installed exaile music player . and it installed firefox 2 as a dependancy and i cant get rid of it unless i uninstall exaile anyone? help? [21:50] ASULutzy: But it IS a dual boot [21:50] Flannel, when it rebooted i waited for it to boot back up again.. [21:50] sneakers2: Mounted within windows? So there was no physical CD involved at all? [21:50] FUCKING AWESOME. [21:50] Slart: the simlinks in / are also created, but they point to no existing file [21:50] ... [21:50] Pici, can i have that e1000 link again plz [21:50] I love netsplits, guise [21:50] Flannel, correct [21:50] me too i thought it was my computer not being good [21:50] DrRabbit: Please watch your language [21:50] sneakers2: but the bootloader still needs to be installed on the first drive (to enable dual booting) . This might have overwritten some superblock/HPA so the fake-raid controller doesn't find the arry any more [21:50] stefg: Wubi doesn't touch the bootloader [21:50] Flannel: sorry [21:51] sneakers2: Wubi wont touch your bootloader at all, it simply adds an entry into the boot.ini for windows [21:51] onetinsoldier: Well, credit where credit is due, that's my motto. I believe that you have been a substantial help to the average ubuntu user and have many times assisted me with my own problems. So thanks a lot, keep up the teriffic work. [21:51] :) [21:51] :) [21:51] Flannel: ahh... never used it (no windows here). so how does it set up dual booting ? [21:51] I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like lang=en_US,UTF-8 or something but that doesn't work. [21:51] x [21:51] okay, thanks guise [21:51] when auto login is enabled is there a way that a wireless connection will not ask to unlock the keyring? [21:51] Slart: an interesting thing: when i restarted the installer, the partitioning program said that 64M is used on /boot, although there is nothing in that directory [21:52] stefg: It uses boot.ini (windows boot menu thing) to bootstrap... something else on the disk. wubi installs exist as a file in the windows filesystem (well, as two files, I believe) [21:52] rblst: it's reserved space [21:52] rblst: you've done a fsck on that partition? [21:52] Flannel : I +x it but I have the same problem :/ [21:52] where's a good place to put shared files? [21:52] Flannel, so how can it have written to boot.ini if it didn't realise i have a raid array? :S [21:52] I cant execute it [21:52] Flannel: ok... so it uses ntldr, not brub [21:52] files that can be accessed by different users [21:52] *grub [21:52] i was thinking /usr/share/local ? [21:52] There is no application installed for this file type [21:53] sneakers2: because boot.ini is just a file, and it can write to it just like you write to any file in windows [21:53] enzotib: carino lo split con 1300 presone :P [21:53] it's a brand new disk, i bought it this afternoon, some hours ago [21:53] is there a way to upgrade from 8.04 lts to http://ubuntustudio.org/? [21:53] DamnSL: Whats the filename? [21:53] racarter: for many users on the same computer? [21:53] with aptitude, that is? [21:53] Slart, yes === Guest1869 is now known as bahram [21:53] Slart, it's a brand new disk, i bought it this afternoon, some hours ago [21:53] Flannel : the file name is: AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin [21:53] paper8, bellissimo, trenta rotellini di mouse per scrollarlo tutto [21:53] rblst: i think you can change the percentage of the reserved space(if you're feeling ripped off) with the -m option of the 'tune2fs' command(man tune2fs) [21:53] flannel, but if it wrote to boot.ini before i restarted it would have used the windows raid driver and worked fine, i fail to see hwo that killed my raid array === c is now known as sekrit [21:53] yates: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy [21:53] Andre1: ok, I found a solution [21:53] racarter: well..I think it's really up to you.. you could create a folder in /home if you want.. or somewhere else [21:53] does firefox 2 and firefox 3 have the same dependencies??? i am asking this because i installed exaile music player . and it installed firefox 2 as a dependancy and i cant get rid of it unless i uninstall exaile anyone? help? [21:53] ok awesome [21:53] racarter: I don't think it will break anything [21:54] sneakers2: I don't see any reason why it would have touched your RAID array, no. [21:54] Andrew1: but: it involves setting the keyring password to blank [21:54] just trying to keep with any conventions... [21:54] where does ubuntu store wallpaper images/ [21:54] ? [21:54] Andrew1: that means, your saved passwords (like wlan) will be saved unencrypted [21:54] ok will that mean that there will be no password for the account? [21:54] rblst: I didn't mean for the hard drive.. I meant if the file system had been messed up in the install process.. or you've formatted it during the install? [21:54] Slart, yes i did format it [21:54] Andrew1: you have to be aware that that is a security issue. [21:55] DamnSL: alright, open up a terminal, navigate to the folder it's in. then do this: chmod a+x AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin (you can use tab complete for the name) and then type this: ./AutoScan-Network-Linux-1.40.bin (you can use tab complete again) [21:55] I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like 'lang=en_US,UTF-8' or something but that doesn't work. [21:55] ls -AlhXF [21:55] i don't think that's a problem as long as no one can use our internet signal without a key [21:55] sneakers2: before you didn't have a look at your partition tables (and possible boot blocks for the fake raid controller) everything is just speculation. try testdisk or some other forensic tool to first gain an idea how the disks/part tables look now [21:55] what could happen ? [21:55] Slart, but i think i just fooled you and myself... [21:56] hy [21:56] Andrew1: yes, but exactly that wlan key won't be stored encrypted ... otherwise you would need some sort of password to unlock it. [21:56] rblst: did you see my messages? about tune2fs and the -m option for it? [21:56] i can't use svn with https protocol. gives me "svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'https://...'" [21:56] anyone know how to fix this? [21:56] Flannel, that's a bootable cd? hopefully it [21:56] so..people still need a key ? [21:56] Flannel, that's a bootable cd? hopefully it's not large, slow internet here [21:56] sneakers2: What's a bootable CD? [21:56] to use the signal from the router? [21:56] rblst: ok =).. what was it? [21:56] someone of you knows how to install nikon view in linux to control d70 digital camera? [21:56] Flannel, a live cd? something i can boot from - i have no dos / shell [21:57] Andrew1: ok, I talked enough, lets get to the solution. Open Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys [21:57] sneakers2: Yeah. A liveCD is a bootable CD. But you may be meaning to talk to stefg [21:57] ok [21:57] i did that [21:57] Slart: because the files are there, i did not mount the boot partition; still, grub does not find the files [21:57] Andrew1: select Edit->Preferences [21:57] Flannel, appologies [21:57] ok [21:57] ok it works Flannel thanks [21:57] :) [21:57] Andrew1: click on the keyring "login" and choose the button "change Unlcok Password" [21:58] rblst: ahhh... then we need to find out why grub doesn't find it.. at least I like this problem better =) [21:58] stefg, do you recommend that i use the tool testdisk or something else? [21:58] sneakers2: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page or http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ are quite powerful [21:58] Andrew1: ok? [21:58] I'm running ubuntu hardy and I have a comp with ubuntu server and I just added a hard drive. How can I figure out what it is called and partition it? [21:58] Slart: sorry for that, and thanks for coming with me this far with my folly... [21:58] ok [21:59] Andrew1: now, enter your password in the "old password" field and click change, without entering a new password. [21:59] Andrew1: probably a warning will occur, that this is insecure. [21:59] rblst: no worries, happy to do it [21:59] Flannel, so you dont know what could have caused the raid array to fail? any guesses? [21:59] jughead: probably fdisk -l and perhaps blkid [21:59] ok that happenned [21:59] sneakers2: No idea [21:59] is that it? [21:59] Andrew1: yeah, so just click "ok" in that warning. [21:59] hi! [22:00] !hi | forces [22:00] forces: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:00] Andrew1: ok, you're all set now. no passwords anymore [22:00] :O [22:00] :P [22:00] sneakers2: the general startegy is: first find out waht actually happened... DON'T DO ANYTHING before you know what you're doing... then check if recovery is possible or scrap as much data from the disks as possible and reinstall [22:00] thanks [22:00] I need some help [22:00] I tried fdisk -l and I didn't get anything back onetinsoldier do I need to run this with sudo? [22:00] !ask | forces [22:00] forces: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:00] I have bought a new netbook, acer aspire one [22:00] I wanna install ubuntu [22:00] but I dont have cd-rom [22:00] wow that is really great thank you so much i have been looking for a long time today to get this issue resolved [22:00] where do i set the number of workspaces [22:00] jughead: yes [22:01] I only have 2 usb memory (128MB, 2Gb) [22:01] without editing in terminal and stuff like that which i'm not good at [22:01] garik_: are you using desktop effects? [22:01] what is the best way to install ubuntu? [22:01] sneakers2: ah.. and BTW : raid 0 on a desktop is dangerous nonsense... [22:01] ubuntu 8.04.1 [22:01] Andrew1: but remember: everybody with access to your files can also read your saved passwords (that are saved in the keyring), like your wlan password. Glad to have helped, zoed [22:01] Slart, yes - compiz [22:01] !aspire one [22:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about aspire one [22:02] so if anyone is on this computer they can find out passwords? [22:02] stefg, both drives were new and i was planning on reinstalling (and changing to raid 1 *after i'd finished the work i was doing today*, except now i'm going to have to do it all again :( [22:02] garik_: then it's in the compiz config settings manager.. type !ccsm for more info about that.. in the general section, last tab iirc [22:02] forces: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [22:02] :P [22:03] Andrew1: theoretically, yes. But, there is no possibility of automatically connecting to wlan without entering a password sometime (during login, keyring unlock...) [22:03] i'm ircing on the AspireOne [22:03] ubuntu works fine here [22:03] Slart, i found "number of desktops" but can't change it from 1 , is it this one? [22:03] lockwood_dev: just because forces asked [22:03] garik_: it's the horizontal desktops and vertical desktops [22:04] garik_: compiz uses a grid of desktops [22:04] ok that's great thanks again. . . i'll be back if it doesn't work ..:) [22:04] Andrew1: ok, although I prob wont be here anymore... But its gonna work, every bet. [22:05] cool man thanks [22:05] how have idea about make v4l2 computability cam working with kopete [22:05] Andrew1: you're welcome. [22:05] forces: are you wanting to install ubuntu onto a usb stick, like permanently? (aka persistent usb install) if so, you might want to get a 4 GB stick for that [22:05] Has anyone here played with hot plug PCIe on 8.10? Jaunty? [22:05] Slart, thnx - i even didn't think about it, just helping friend to configure the comp, as mself i don't use compiz =) [22:06] hey all! I have a quick question about GNU screen. [22:06] now if anyone can help me to configurate onine stream video [22:06] is there anyway to make Aramok start when an IPOD is connected, versus Rhythmbox? [22:06] i only get sound and no picture [22:06] sneakers2: ah... and BTW: if you're reinstalling anyway: spare some 10 Gig-Partition for a proper ubuntu install.. wubi isn't far away from dangerous nonsense, too (as you've probably noticed) [22:06] garik_: you're welcome.. I don't actually know what that "number of desktops" slider does.. weird that they'd put it in if it doesn't do anything.. [22:06] If I have one screen split horizontally, can I have another that is not and switch back and forth between the split screen and the non-split screen? [22:06] HI, is there a way to install MAC programs in linux/ubuntu? [22:07] Da_Dude, yes - u have to check out hal and write some scripts as i understand [22:07] how have idea about make v4l2 computability cam working with kopete [22:07] garik_, man...that sucks [22:07] Da_Dude: yes - open any nautilus windows and go to "Editr->Preferences->Media and select Amarok for Music Player. [22:07] Da_Dude, just google [22:08] Da_Dude: or try out what I said [22:08] NO WAY KUBUNTU IS BETTER THAN UBUNTU [22:08] as well i saw some ipod manager [22:08] Can one deduce why the scripts in "//bin" isn't working? [22:08] homy, man...that's where they hid that in 8.10! [22:08] homy, danke sehr! [22:08] anyone know what is going on with python-memcache in Hardy? [22:08] HI, is there a way to install MAC programs in linux/ubuntu? [22:08] Da_Dude: bitte sehr. [22:09] The dirrefernce with Ubuntu and Kubuntu is Gnome, KDE and the default programs [22:09] what is the package name for ssh server? [22:09] issa as in mac OSX? [22:09] issa: no [22:09] difference* [22:09] is ssh server installed by default in ubuntu 8.10? [22:09] racarter maybe sshd [22:09] homy, although there is not a choice for Aramok, or custom entry [22:09] thanks [22:09] !info openssh-server | racarter [22:09] how have idea about make v4l2 computability cam working with kopete [22:09] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 278 kB, installed size 764 kB [22:09] Da_Dude: can't you select "open with other application"? [22:09] racarter ssh-server [22:09] issa: only ubuntu programs run on macs [22:09] homy, nah... not in Ibex 8.10 [22:10] sigh [22:10] i found openssh-server [22:10] Da_Dude: well, thats weird. I can. [22:10] homy, here is an 'ask what to do' [22:10] homy, in 8.10? [22:10] why isn't an ssh server installed by default? [22:10] seem pretty basic for a linux machine... [22:10] server? [22:10] stefg: But strange that MAC is simliar to Linux as they are unix based, while on linux we can install exe (windows softwares using wine) [22:10] Da_Dude: yes. Are you in the "Media" tab in the "File Management Preferences"? [22:10] why is it when i try to install codecs it doesn't allow me cause i have amd ? [22:10] Da_Dude, There isn't need to say "Ibex 8.10", as There is only one Intrepid Ibex 8.10 ;) [22:11] racarter, same reason why telnet or rsync are not enabled by default. [22:11] homy, nope [22:11] issa: they use both diffirent packages [22:11] x0r, er...ok [22:11] x0r, so what is 6.06? [22:11] :) [22:11] issa: and most of osx is closed source [22:11] Da_Dude, you could jsut say Dapper Drake, or 6.06 [22:12] not everyone always knows that :) [22:12] Da_Dude, but Drake 6.06 just douns so weird x) [22:12] sounds* [22:12] homy, yes I am in the 'Media' tab of File Management Prefs [22:13] homy, and under Music Player I dont have that option [22:13] Da_Dude: wait a moment, I'll upload a screenshot to imageshack. [22:13] Da_Dude: do you have that option with the other devices? [22:13] thanks for your help onetinsoldier I found the disk and fdisk/mkfs is getting the rest done! [22:13] nope [22:13] Slart: i justed had to swap hd0 and hd1, thanks a lot for your persevering help [22:13] jughead: sweet. you didn't use fdisk to make partitions did you? [22:14] homy, damn...I'm on my desktop running hardy, not Ibex [22:14] heheh [22:14] my laptop runs Ibex [22:14] is stupid [22:14] rblst: ah.. I've been reading up on how grub does it's magic.. interesting stuff.. you're welcome [22:14] yeah I used fdisk onetinsoldier, was I supposed to do something differently? [22:14] Da_Dude: well, ok, that solves the problem I guess. So no screenshot afterall. [22:15] homy, anyway to accomplish the same thing in Hardy? [22:15] jughead: you might consider remaking them, with gparted [22:15] Da_Dude: I think in hardy the option was System->Removable Drives or something like that? [22:15] Ahh. System->Preferences [22:15] hello everyone from italy :) [22:15] Da_Dude, it sounds so weird when you just say the seccond word (Ibex, Heron, Drake ...) [22:15] hi [22:15] System->Preferences->Removable drives & Media or sth similiar [22:15] all [22:15] will I run into problems with fdisk created partitions? I am using ssh from another comp since the server is headless [22:15] homy, nah..I looked there first [22:15] x0r: yeah, normally you say intrepid or hardy, dapper ... [22:16] i have to DD but how can i see and check where i m saving my files? [22:16] Da_Dude: well, sorry then. What options does the Media tab give you in the nautilus pref. window? [22:16] x0r, I got your point }:) [22:16] 2 [22:16] homy, do nothing, ask, or open folder [22:16] Da_Dude, nah, no problem :). It only sounds pretty strange, but... oh well.. :) [22:17] stefg, i'd planned on giving it the 320gb drive and using it as a main OS, I've used ubuntu for almost a year on my laptop, i was just curious as to how wubi worked and wanted to give it a try. serves me right for wanting to try new technology [22:17] jughead: fdisk is good for list partitions on the command line, but that's about it. just read the man page for fdisk, it old and ancient --> fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results [22:17] Da_Dude: well, I sugest selecting "ask" and then selecting Amarok in the "ask" dialog that popups when you plugin an ipon [22:17] homy: yah I'll try that [22:17] with the ubuntu mini distro there is a screen where you select all the software you want installed on your computer.... is there any way to get back to that screen after the installation is complete? [22:17] like i mounted 2 hard disk but they are one the same file system and i do not know which files or part are one the first or second [22:17] homy, thanks for helping my with ibex and heron :) [22:17] jughead: Avoid it if you can. These days there also is parted. [22:17] *me [22:18] I'm connecting to my Ubuntu box through Windows using SSH/Cygwin when I screen into my finch buddy list I see a whole bunch of messed up characters, How do I fix this? I remember there's a way something like 'LANG=en_US,UTF-8' or something but that doesn't work. [22:18] Da_Dude: just interested: why do you use 8.04 instead of 8.10? [22:18] aaroninfidel: tasksel and dselect are likely what you're looking for. [22:18] thanks Flannel :) [22:19] Need help getting wifi going at startup [22:19] someone? [22:19] hello??

[22:51] racarter: aptitude has a text mode gui.. historically aptitude was better with dependencies than apt.. but I think that's fixed now [22:51] racarter: apart from that they do the same thing. [22:51] darkfrog: real hardware raid? or some kind of fakeraid? [22:52] Slart: real hardware raid...configured in the BIOS [22:52] Slart, nVidia RAID [22:52] darkfrog: fakeraid then..

[22:53] darkfrog: it often comes on a separate card [22:53] onetinsoldier: Perhaps conflicts isn't the right word. I'm running the FGLRX driver that Jockey gives me as my only choice, not sure which version it is. It works much better than the Nvidia card I was running previously (Compiz would occasionally go berserk on that one) but I get frequent system hangs when I try to play video files. === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [22:53] i bought a palm m505 today used after it charges will it will with ubuntu [22:53] darkfrog: yes... I know, it might not be technically accurate but that's what it's called [22:53] does any one know if vmware player works well with ubuntu hardy haron [22:54] work [22:54] guys, what's the meta name for DBI module? [22:54] hey [22:54] racarter: there''s some differences, but not a whole lot. aptitude tracks packages that were automatically installed to sastify dependencies and will wutomatically uninstall them if the original package that depended on them is uninstalled is one difference. another is that aptitude is supposedly a little more intelligent about resloving dependencies [22:54] i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd [22:54] that sucks [22:54] ? [22:55] Which plugin for Firefox for Java is the one that works for x86_64? [22:55] where does wine install its apps? [22:55] c [22:55] anders_: ~/.wine/drive_c [22:55] andresmh: its a hidden folder [22:55] no one has any info this girls brain is fried honestly im not good with computers [22:55] Slart, do I need to pull those drives out of the "RAID" or is it safe to just use it as-is since it looks like Linux ignores it anyway? [22:55] Anyone home? [22:56] no [22:56] i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? [22:56] i like linux but blonds wasnt meant to have linux i dont think [22:56] darkfrog: I'm not really sure..on my motherboard I can switch from raid function to just regular hard drive connection [22:56] darkfrog: so I don't have to actually change cables around.. just disable the raid feature [22:56] DClayBuck: hmmm, i see. you might benefit frommaking sure you have the latest driver installed and perhaps making sure you have a fully filled out xorg.conf file. but there's nothing that i know that will be a guaranteed fix [22:57] lol puppiesRcute as easy as linux has gotten recently, it's still geeky :) [22:57] ya linux rocks but having problems with virtual box and vmware [22:57] darkfrog: if I were you I'd try to disable that raid feature.. it would be really annoying if you started using the drives and then one day the raid chip decides it's time to rebuild the array and wipes everything [22:57] Slart, am I better off just doing a re-install of Ubuntu and using the disk partitioning wizard, or is there a way to manage the partitions graphically from in Ubuntu? [22:57] Which plugin for Firefox for Java is the one that works for x86_64? [22:58] vmware is a mess, that silly web interface is a joke, stick with virtualbox , what sort of issues are you having specifically puppiesRcute ? [22:58] Slart: good point [22:58] thebloggu: click on System->Preferences->Keybourd shortcuts and set the "sound" keys accordingly. [22:58] like linux for several reasons but so many problems ah virtual box wont load my virtual disks some error always pops up [22:58] thanks eseven73 [22:59] darkfrog: I would probably reinstall ubuntu.. depends a bit on how much time you've invested in your install.. [22:59] Slart, not a lot [22:59] vmware still buggy but downloading the player so it might work [22:59] onetinsoldier: I'm a little confused about Jockey and the ATI drivers. Is there a way to force Jockey to let me choose from a list? Or is there another method of installing the drivers? [22:59] how can I get the current resolution? [22:59] darkfrog: then I would reinstall.. it's a fairly quick process [22:59] DClayBuck: let's see what you driver version is. try the following command, if their all the same, then just paste in one line --> dpkg -l '*fglrx*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3}' | sed 's/ / /' [22:59] np andresmh and to view other hidden stuff, do 'ls -A' in a terminal [22:59] Slart, seems crazy that Ubuntu has such an awesome partition manager that's not available anywhere except in the installer [22:59] DClayBuck: if they're all the same version* [23:00] darkfrog: it doesn't use gparted? [23:00] the computer my bff let me use is linux still learning hes out so im stuck [23:00] puppiesRcute: are you trying to create VM's? if so you'll need vmware server 2.0 (its free as in free beer) [23:00] !info gparted | darkfrog [23:00] gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor.

The RAID is a completely separate set of drives...my OS is installed on a 250gig drive [23:01] hey gents... I'm having a bit of a problem with upgrading my ubuntu server install. I'm currently runing 7.04 and I'm trying to upgrade to 7.10. I followed the directions on the website and i am using the do-release-upgrade. It errors out because it fails to fetch the feisty info from us.archive.ubuntu, so I comented that out in my sources.list and replaced it with the old-releases one. THEN, later in the upgrade process it errors out on the upgrade pr [23:01] Slart, I just added the three 1tb drives [23:01] darkfrog: oh.. then there's no need to reinstall.. sorry.. my bnad [23:01] *bad [23:01] does virtual box require any thing to make vms or use isos [23:01] onetinsoldier: 2:8.543-0ubuntu4 === lancer is now known as LancerNZ [23:01] Slart, do I just type gparted in terminal? [23:01] then asks if i want to just convert from fiesty to gutsy, so I do... Then it errors out about the old-releases not having gutsy! :P [23:01] puppiesRcute: I don't know about isos.. but I've created several vm's with it [23:01] darkfrog: run "sudo apt-get install gparted" first [23:01] ok any one ever had problem with wicd [23:01] kewl might try it that might be my problem [23:01] darkfrog: then it's available in system, administration, partition editor [23:01] Slart, will do...thanks. :) [23:02] darkfrog: you're welcome [23:02] when I just used ifconfig to look @ my interfaces I see a eth1:avahi listed. what is it and why is it there? [23:02] DClayBuck: yeah.. 543 is a fairly old now... mine are 561's (Catalyst 8.12's) [23:02] blows a kiss for the help [23:02] homy, i selected and it shows XF86Audio.., but doesnt work. my xorg.con has Driver "kbd" and Option "XkbRules" "xorg" and i am using openbox [23:02] the daemon crashes with and status shows wicd dead but subsys lock [23:02] hello all. i have a quick mount/fstab question i am hoping someone can answer. what is mode=1777 [23:02] puppiesRcute: nope, just install virtualbox, ummm the one in the repos is a opensource version and cannot use USB , but you can download the non free version from vbox's site that has usb support [23:02] puppiesRcute: or .. wait.. I used isos to install the operating systems.. so that worked [23:02] DClayBuck: here's one of mine... fglrx-kernel-source 2:8.561-0ubuntu1 [23:02] Bezzie: there's a bug in lauchpad.net about that, i think for update-manager. not sure if the comments there have a workaround though [23:03] How do I find out what video outputs I have in Intrepid? [23:03] hi [23:03] hrm. ok. I'll take a peek zsquare. Thanks! [23:03] xrandr doesn't seem to show the name of the output [23:03] smart guys rock k it said isos did work so hopefully it was just a bug [23:03] eseven73: and now even 3D accel too :-)) [23:03] didnt even realize that 7.04 was eol already till i went to install a dev lib :P [23:03] onetinsoldier: So do I need to abandon Jockey altogether? I'm not altogether certain what the best way to update the driver is. [23:04] puppiesRcute: in the Virtualbox manager thingy you can select an iso to be used as a cd-drive.. that worked for me [23:04] zsquareplusc: DirectX? or OpenGL? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [23:04] thebloggu: hm. Maybe you select another keyboard model in System->Preferences->Keyboard (maybe a similiar logitech model is available). Well, gotta go now. Good luck!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:05] eseven73: well i have not looked at the details. maybe they are using opengl on the host. not sure what the guest sees. but i guess opengl-pass through is what they are doing [23:05] i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? using openbox [23:05] xav_: or you used wubi? [23:05] hello, a question regarding compiz. does the graphic card's support for OpenGL 1.5 or 2.0 affect the performance of compiz(all those eye-candy)? [23:06] thebloggu: you probably need some application that is started on keypress, sending signals to MPD, e.g. to its TCP/IP remote control interface [23:06] Hi - does anyone have any advice to get my sound recorder working on Ubuntu 8.04? At the moment, anything using record (eg Sound recorder, audacity) just crashes when I try and record. I'm very new to linux having just started switching from Microsnot windows so my knowledge is limited at the mo. The chipset is a VIA 8235. The machine is a notebook. Playback seems fine. Record does not work. Ive looked at System/preferences [23:07] zsquareplusc, on my notebook, fn keys work fine [23:07] Hey, how do I use bash to remove a directory that isn't empty [23:07] thebloggu: sure. but if you want to have play/pause for MPD you need a tool that sends these events to MPD [23:07] Elite: mv [23:08] Elite: oh wait re-move.. rm -r [23:08] mode=1777 anyone know what this means? [23:08] Elite: there is no undelete! ;-) [23:08] does anyone know the answer to my question?
