[00:00] your's will? [00:00] I'm trying to set the mtu of my machines to 9000. ifconfig mtu 9000 works on my two debian lenny boxes, but the same gives me this on intrepid: "SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid Argument" [00:00] rectec794613: how long are you waiting? [00:00] ActionParsnip: Thanks Im going to go try that. [00:00] zelda: its the correct syntax for a package named gay [00:00] ActionParsnip: "sudo apt-get purge applicationName" does work..i just used it [00:00] greetings I figured out with (your help) that I didnt have the sound modules loaded into the kernel...thanks..the sound test works great but I still get no sound from mplayer playing a dvd anyone know why? [00:00] like half an hour [00:00] ActionParsnip: what's the difference? [00:00] When I press a button on my numpad, it restarts X. Where are the configs for keyboard settings in my homedir? [00:00] nathenhelp [00:00] Frijolie: --purge is needed, purge on its own won't work [00:01] ActionParsnip: that's not true as of Intrepid [00:01] hikenboot: This is an obvious answer but one thats tripped me up a few times. is your headphones/speakers plugged into teh front or back? [00:01] Flannel: i'm old skool [00:01] just was playing my 360 while its waiting :P [00:01] Flannel: damn these whipper snappers with their new ways [00:01] nathan the test sounds work ...but not the mplayer video sounds and such [00:01] Flannel: and whatnot [00:01] Does anyone know where I could find a Class 1 bluetooth stereo (A2DP) headset? I've only found Class 1 mono or Class 2 stereo so far. [00:01] ActionParsnip: looks like your "parsnips" need a little more "action" there [00:02] hikenboot: is the voume turned up on mplayer? [00:02] Frijolie: Please stay on topic [00:02] oh i see hold on [00:02] * zelda inputs the command "sudo apt-get purge Obama" [00:02] *volume [00:02] I just installed Samba and set a folder to Share. I go to "My network places" on my Win XP... and nothing shows up. [00:02] I have a PC with Hardy installed on it and Hardy is connected directly to internet through ethernet. I want to share my internet connection with a Palm Treo over Bluetooth. I have tried many tutorials and I have failed everytime. Does somebody if it is possible?

I'm off to buy my new part. <3 u all [00:04] !idiot | Frijolie [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about idiot [00:04] zelda: Please stop that [00:04] nathanhelp, it is showing it as not being mute and sound levels appear to be in middle even though for some reason i am unable to change it [00:04] rectec794613: Reboot from the ubuntu-cd, choose option 'Check CD for defects' to see if CD is burned well.

[00:05] ActionParsnip: I agree. I love the old one. I had to use it to get my configuration working [00:05] Frijolie, they have to be with 1200 people [00:05] CyberGabber: I tried but it does the same thing , nothing. [00:05] ls -a properIRCEtiquette [00:05] zelda: i have xorg.conf in my backup scope so I couldnt care less now :) [00:05] admins are not hardcore in this place, you need to go to the #java channel to see a hardcore admin [00:05] i am on ubuntu server, how can i get a gui that i can temporarily test if its too hard on my ram, and then get rid of COMPLETELY as if i had never installed it [00:05] CyberGabber: I'm not new to ubuntu, I've had it for quite a while [00:05] !guidelines | Frijolie [00:05] Action: I had to use a 7.10 Live to configure this xorg in 8.10 [00:05] Frijolie: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:05] rectec794613: Booting LIVE-cd can that a lot of time ! Especially on slower system ( low memory e.g. ). [00:06] mezquitale: on the contrary, head over to #unix [00:06] ls -a allAdminsInIRCUbuntu [00:06] Decepticon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, test, sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop [00:06] or something like that [00:06] CyberGabber, it is so so [00:06] adam7 but it will create random ass files in ~/ and god knows what else [00:06] hello, i need to stream jumptv but i cannot stream it with vlc player. how can i? [00:06] 'bad command or filename' [00:06] Decepticon: well, make a new user. [00:07] Decepticon: or mount a tmpfs disk over /home [00:07] adam7, yeah i will, but it will still throw files in random places like /etc/ and /var and i dont know where else [00:07] #linuxmint [00:07] I have used the Live cd for a little bit and it runs smoothly [00:07] Decepticon: or mount a unionfs with a tmpfs over ~ [00:07] CyberGabber: idk it didnt take thay much time before, and the same thing happened when i try to boot off my old 7.10 cd, then it says it cant read the blocks or something [00:07] Vantrax: I understand....they've got a full-time job [00:07] Decepticon, if you dont have a lot of ram I HIGHLY suggest you use xubuntu desktop [00:07] Frijolie: ACtually it would be unknown package [00:07] !xubuntu [00:07] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

I'm looking for a class definition in about 100mbs of code, so... command line maybe? [00:08] Decepticon: if you have low ram, gnome will perform poorly [00:08] im trying to reactive my lvm partitions...when doing so im getting this error. http://pastebin.com/m1e5bd823 [00:08] refefer: grep [00:08] refefer: grep [00:08] zelda: actually it would be 'cannot access allAdminsInIRCUbuntu: no such file or directory' [00:08] refefer: grep myword * (or grep -r myword * for recursive) [00:08] rectec794613: Sounds like you CD-rom is faulty / lens not clean orsomething ? Does it read any other CD's ? [00:08] i got enough ram for gnome [00:08] can you search within files using that? [00:08] not just file names? [00:08] refefer: that's what it does [00:08] refefer, yes [00:08] refefer: thats what grep does [00:09] excellent [00:09] im worried about ram left over for my other processs while gnome is on [00:09] i need to stream jumptv but i cannot stream it with vlc player. how can i? please help me [00:09] refefer: man grep [00:09] Decepticon: how much ram do you have? [00:09] i think 1gb, how do i check? [00:09] is there a bleeding edge version of ubuntu? [00:09] Decepticon: free -m [00:09] CyberGabber: um it read my vista cd (I had to reinstall it cuz it messed up bootmgr) [00:09] Sememmon: 971 959 11 0 10 618 [00:09] 971mb ram? [00:09] 1gb ram i guess [00:09] CyberGabber: and the cd is clean [00:10] Decepticon: that should be plenty for Gnome [00:10] dougb: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for the development version [00:10] adam7 im running some heavy rtorrent processes though [00:10] i type "/list" but nothing happens === rider is now known as Guest30331 === BlackWolf is now known as BlackWolf90 [00:10] Decepticon: how much is used at the moment?

[00:11] !helpme | datta [00:11] datta: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[00:12] mordof: very easy [00:12] ActionParsnip: on top of that, i'd need to learn how to ssh into a graphical session too ; ; lol [00:12] mordof: sudo apt-get install xorg for a basic X server, or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for the full Ubuntu package set [00:12] mordof: sudo apt-get install xorg [00:12] i need to stream jumptv but i cannot stream it with vlc player. how can i? [00:12] mordof: would seem fitting [00:13] !vnc | mordof [00:13] mordof: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [00:13] mordof: for a lesser set run: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [00:13] how do I go about adding something to my bootup? for some stupid reason, intrepid isn't running dmraid -ay when booting, so it can't see my fakeraid in dev/mapper [00:13] Hello. Help me please - @ nm-applet I must add some routes - but I don't know how to do it. I have writed it @ interfaces file before. This is example: up route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 gw 10.2.3.1 But at nm-applet I can see address, mask, gateway, metric. What does that means? How to enter mine route there? [00:13] mordof: its lighter than gnome + metacity [00:13] mordof: leaving more resources for computing [00:13] Decepticon: you have 331 mb left [00:14] Xfce is a nice desktop [00:14] adam7 ... how do yo ufigure [00:14] is vnc over ssh faster than ssh x forwarding? [00:14] Hi everyone. [00:14] Decepticon: well, it would be close [00:14] adam7 htop says Mem:971M used:330M buffers:10M cache:616Load average: 1.70 1.32 1.17 [00:14] ActionParsnip: situation: my comp is windows xp. my server is ubuntu server, i'm attempting to hook up a compy with win 2000 for my grandma on the same lan as my server. to repair any problems she has, i want to ssh into my server, and remote admin the win 2k box from there - so i don't have to open even more ports to her comp. is that possible with fluxbox do you know? [00:14] Decepticon: I'd guess you don't have enough room, because your free -m indicates you are swapping === gabriel_ is now known as gabriel_sx [00:15] mordof: you can forward the remote desktop ports through sSH I think === tyfoo2 is now known as tyfoo [00:15] adam7, what! i dont even have a gui and im swapping? [00:15] adam7: different computers.. i wouldn't know how tbh [00:15] Decepticon: Swap: total/509 used/386 free/123 [00:16] mordof: I'm not entirely sure either tbh, but I think it can be done [00:16] mordof: you can always telnet but thats more ports [00:16] adam7: doing 2 remote connectios. windows xp -> ssh -> ubuntu server -> rdesktop (or other remote admin) -> grandmas comp over lan [00:16] adam7, right but htop says, Mem:971M used:330M buffers:9M cache:618MLoad average: 1.09 1.22 1.15 [00:16] I just installed 8.10 on an Averatec 3715eh laptop. I have two issues I was hoping to get help with. === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement [00:16] adam7 doesnt that mean that 330M out of 971M is used [00:16] Decepticon: yeah. so I would guess at some point in the past your memory was filled and it started swapping [00:16] Decepticon: and you've never used the stuff that was swapped, so it's still on disk [00:17] mordof: tunnelling over two hops should be fine, port 3389 will work over multiple hops [00:17] The first is the wireless card kernel module for rt2500 seems to be exceedingly slow. [00:17] mordof: if the final destination is win2k, make sure its server so it has rdp, but i believe you need X libs to run it, i could be wrong [00:17] ActionParsnip: that didn't work so well... killed the keyboard. Navigating is hard enough without the mouse. ;) [00:17] mordof: right -- you can tell the SSH server to allow you to forward to the windows box [00:17] adam7, so do you still think its a good idea to install gnome on this machine [00:17] mordof: one sec, I'll see how you do it [00:17] dlstyley: mouse is for games and internet only here [00:17] adam7 if theres evidence that ive been swapping, that is [00:17] CyberGabber: are you there? [00:17] Decepticon: no, probably not. try Fluxbox [00:17] adam7: :o ooh, so i wouldn't need to install any gui on my server for it? *hopeful* [00:17] mordof: unless you're doing something wrong with ssh. you will only need X Windows on the client [00:17] nope. [00:18] adam7 well the intent of installing a gui is that im trying to make it noob friendly [00:18] mordof: I think that's correct [00:18] adam7 fluxbox maybe a little confusing for a winxp user [00:18] mordof: no gui needed at all on intermediary boxes, you just need to know your ssh commandlines [00:18] adam7 do you agree? [00:18] any way can somebody tell why i cant install ubuntu intrepid?, everytime i try to it just freeze, i mean i actually did install it but, at th end when restarting it never download the desktop, why is this happening does anyone knows pls??? [00:18] shingen: ^^ i haven't attempted to set it up yet, i'm not that great with linux/ssh yet.. been a bit of a struggle [00:18] Decepticon: maybe, but if they can't use a linux box why are they messing with your server? :P [00:18] let me restate my question, again, when i try to boot off the 8.10 live cd, it gets to the point where the orange bar moves back and forth, but it wont stop. I just burned the iso with active iso burner to a rewritable cd at 4x and thats all the details i can think of. [00:18] adam7 theyre paying me heh [00:18] mordof, google for ssh tunnel and ssh port forwarding. I've done it before but don't remember. man ssh might also be helpful. [00:19] anybody know to change the sequence of init scripts during boot? apparently dmraid is being run too early [00:19] cheatersrealm: ok [00:19] rectec794613: Yes, but is still think its a CD-rom problem, because you also could'nt read your old CD. [00:19] shingen: look at the man page for --> update-rc.d [00:19] i have an issue with wifi on ubuntu its shaky [00:19] mordof: you'll be using the -R command alot [00:19] eeeek 21.1MB left in my root partition! [00:19] luisssissss: did you try using safe graphics mode to install? I thinks its F4 at bottom of screen. [00:19] in the sense the wifi is connected and then signal is lost [00:20] * zelda has to read the Linux Bible again [00:20] onetinsoldier: I need it for bootup sequence, not for services that start afterwards [00:20] idea4good: what wireless card chipset? [00:20] onetinsoldier: stuck in initramfs [00:20] mordof: ssh -L 9999:windowsserver:110 shellserver where 9999 is the windows port and 110 is the port on the local machine [00:21] CyberGabber: um should i burn the iso again? [00:21] intel 3948 [00:21] my other laptop with intrepid stopped listening to the keyboard, mouse and apps keep working but I am not sure what's going on with the keyboard? any clues? [00:21] nnah [00:21] ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? [00:21] shingen: ok, so you mean a kernel module then? [00:21] i did it several time and also check integrity of the iso and is fine [00:21] rectec [00:21] dlstyley: Sudo apt-get remove xorg [00:21] but it keeps happenig the same [00:21] adam7: hmmmm.. what would i need to install on my win 2k box to get that to work? would i need an ssh server there? [00:22] dlstyley: wassup? [00:22] hey all, [00:22] mordof: no, you just need to know what the port for rdesktop on the windows box is [00:22] help! :) the keyboard on one of my laptops stops working for some reason, i am not sure how to debug that [00:22] happy almost new-years [00:22] andresmh: I had the same problem but after several trys and booting installing in safe graphics mode it cleared up. [00:22] i think rectec is got to do with yur pc [00:22] is old or something like the proccesor is damged somehow cause i got the same problem [00:23] ActionParsnip: usb mouse no worky... works fine on Windows. Opitical light does not come on in Ubu. lsbusb recognizes it. [00:23] adam7: i'm lost :s lol. i think this is over my head with my knowledge [00:23] Anyone know about poor wireless for rt2500? [00:23] Everything else runs fine, luisssissss [00:23] wilbyj, well, everything was working fine for a few days, was that your case too? [00:23] mordof: ok -- do you have remote desktop enabled on the windows box? [00:23] Can mencoder (or something else) convert to .SMV? [00:23] zelda: remove and then reinstall xorg? === Tidus is now known as Kimahri [00:23] adam7: which one? xp or 2k [00:23] mordof: one sec [00:23] ConstantineXVI: if you have codecs, yes [00:24] Im gonna get 1gb ram today or tomarrow, luisssissss [00:24] dlstyley: whats your issue? [00:24] yea i know retec like mine runs ok with older distros but the new ones dont and onn top of that my internet conncetion became slow [00:24] mordof: windows xp -> ssh -> ubuntu server -> rdesktop (or other remote admin) -> grandmas comp over lan [00:24] wish ur name was erasier to spell, luisssisss [00:24] !tab | rectec794613 [00:24] rectec794613: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === Kimahri is now known as Tidus [00:24] mordof: so you need remote desktop on grandma's computer [00:24] dlstyley: usb mouse quit working on upgrade to 8.10. still works under XP [00:24] that might help rectec do that and c what happens [00:24] adam7: ok. i haven't set that computer up yet entirely, but i'm writing this down, lol. [00:25] mordof: is there any reason you're not using free services for grandma like gotomypc? it'd be easier for you [00:25] rectec794613: If the CD-test didn't fail, i don't think it will help. Sorry i have to go to sleep. Good luck... [00:25] zelda: usb mouse quit working on upgrade to 8..10. still works under xp [00:25] k [00:25] rectec what do you mena with my name????? [00:25] hi im trying to figure how ubuntu sets pulseaudio as default alsa master, where can i find? there is no asoundrc or asound.conf [00:25] mordof: what shingen says [00:25] dlstyley: really? Interesting... try rebootin [00:25] shingen: i didn't want to open up a port directly to my grandmas computer for something [00:25] kinda hard to spell [00:25] ctrl+alt+backspace worked but this is the second time my keyboard went into a state where it didn't seem to work [00:25] zelda: done and done and done some more. [00:25] its nothing [00:25] shingen: was hoping to be able to route it through my server that already has my ssh server set up [00:25] just say luis [00:25] mordof: logmein is what I use, works great, no open ports on the router [00:25] yeah k, luis [00:26] mordof: if you have SSH running at grandma's house, sure it's real easy... [00:26] is actually my real name [00:26] i dont know it was working fine before [00:26] mordof: you can do it through the ssh server, but it's more complicated :P [00:26] dlstyley: Whats the manufacturer of the mouse? [00:26] is cybergabber saying that the cd test fixes it ore something? im not even sure it'll run [00:26] zelda: microsoft - works under Windows. Go figure. [00:26] I am using ubuntu 7.10 on intel 3945 ABG wireless card [00:26] mordof: just SSH into the ssh server at grandma's and use ssh -D 9999 you@thehost.grandmas.com will open up a socks4 proxy on port 9999 which you can use to connect to any resource at grandma's [00:27] dlstyley: DO you have like a 7.10 live cd around? [00:27] bah, screw it. i'll just open up a port for her (adam7 - logmein, i don't know how something would work with no open ports, unless it's uPnP capable. otherwise not sure how you'd be able to connect) [00:27] mordof: the client connects to the server [00:27] mordof: not vice versa [00:27] rectec794613: Run the CD-test, just to see if the medium (CD) isn't broken / damaged. [00:27] shingen: yeah.. for now i'll just set up a direct remote connection. i won't understand what i'm doing if i try to attempt this i think, so i'll mess it up easily, lol [00:28] zelda: probably. This just started with recent updates (I believe it was 8.10 - could have been a kernel upgrade since). It will sometimes come back, but usually dead. Works 100% under windows. [00:28] ok i hope it wont mess up my bootmgr, CyberGabber [00:28] rectec794613: Just by booting the ubuntu-cd, and choosing option 'Check CD for defects.' [00:28] adam7: ah.. don't think it's a good idea to leave my grandma to doing that XD but i'll consider it [00:28] mordof: anyway, if you get it all set up, ssh -L 3389:windowsboxip:3389 shellserver and then point rdesktop at localhost:3389 [00:28] dlstyley: throw that 7.10 live in and see if it works in there. If it does, then you have to reconfigure your xorg [00:29] mordof: it does it automatically, no user intervention [00:29] anybody can help me with wifi on ubuntu 7.10 with intel 3945 ab [00:29] mordof: if you don't have an SSH server at grandmas, reverse SSHing would require you to open up a SSH connection from grandma's to home and then using cygwin or something similar to keep it running with autossh and then you'd need to learn the ssh -R and -L commands pretty well to redirect your traffic... more pain for you and grandma though [00:29] rectec794613: It's does nothing more thanjust checking if the CD is al right, it leaves your HDD untouched with that option. [00:29] ok i'll report in a few mins, if i can still get on, CyberGabber, like i said im pretty experienced, but i've never encountered anything like this [00:29] shingen: sounds scary.. [00:29] hey can i use that /me command? [00:30] im new to irc [00:30] mordof: not painful, I do it all the time to violate my acceptable use policy at work :P [00:30] oh, can mplayer/encoder handle CSS? [00:30] rectec794613: its /me first person verb [00:30] no time, later [00:30] noted [00:30] Lol [00:30] rectec794613: e.g. /me likes fluxbox [00:31] * shingen picks his nose. How gross. [00:31] wilby you still around [00:31] * dexi cant remember how he got facebook chat to work on pidgin last time :( [00:32] anyone here proficient with facebook chat on pidgin?

[00:42] blackest_knight: the package flashplugin-nonfree should do that =/. Ubuntu can't ship with Flash by default due to licensing restrictions, hence it requiring a separate package. [00:42] shingen: whats the issue? [00:43] smallfry: wassup? [00:43] smallfry: depends on what you mean. for Intrepid source? or kernel.org source? for Interpid i think it's 2.6.27-11. that's what i have anyway [00:43] it doesnt thou, pain in the b... gettin flash 10 set up [00:43] ActionParsnip: fakeraid timeout during initramfs, easily solved by tossing sleep 10 in :P [00:44] ok [00:44] next issue: 5.1 sound [00:44] i dont think creative makes linux drivers do they?

Does Firestarter automatically start on login, or is there a way to make it do that? The last time I ran ubuntu, about a year ago, it didn't do this. [00:45] dexi google alsa 1.0.18 alsa ubuntu forums :) [00:45] dexi: yes... they released an open-source version of them back in November for the X-Fi [00:45] Does anyone here have knowledge that pertains to the nature of pci slots? I have a device (card) that says it runs best in a 64 bit slot. Does that mean I need a 64 bit cpu, and a 64 bit os as well? [00:45] ooh cool onetinsoldier :) [00:45] seyfarth, what are you using firestarter for? [00:45] black will i need alsa if i have that? [00:45] what's the command to install a downloaded package? [00:45] sudo apt-get install xxx [00:45] dexi: i don't know how hard it is getting them installed though [00:45] oh [00:45] ozgur, is it a deb? [00:45] well i'll take a look [00:45] yes [00:46] kapu: i think a 32 bit os works too. but the 64 bit OS will have better performance [00:46] kapu: no, it's only the bandwidth that's used for the bus interface (64 bit), it has nothing to do with the cpu interface [00:46] Jack_Sparrow: Just in case. I'm at a university, and the school's firewall only protects from connections outside the school. Students can get curious :) [00:46] zsquareplusc, Very little performance gain with 64 bit [00:46] MAXI-MUM: the 3.something GB is a limit of the 32bit address room. however, also ubuntu should see these and still work [00:46] How would a 64 bit bus interface be denoted on a spec sheet? [00:46] seyfarth, Sounds like window mentality. You do not need firestarter to be protected i ubuntu [00:47] Okay, thank you! [00:47] is there a common name for such a feature? [00:47] !firewall [00:47] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:47] Jack_Sparrow: well the figures in that mac mini ubuntu 32/64 comparison shows that's not just 1% but much more in some cases [00:47] seyfarth, Most new users are less secure when they run firestarted [00:47] kapu: depends on the tech writer [00:47] zsquareplusc, no it dont boot it reach the gdm and blank just before gdm i think before X [00:48] zsquareplusc, In some cases with some applications [00:48] augh. is there anything further i need to do with that java .bin? opera is still bugging me about it [00:48] is pci-x synonymous with 64 bit? [00:48] I understand. Thanks for your help! [00:48] seyfarth, np [00:48] seyfarth: if you decide you do need a firewall, though, check out ufw. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823741 . It comes with Ubuntu 8.10 and is nice and easy to use (and not as broken as firestarter >.>) [00:48] kapu: yes, it's the 64 bit version of PCI, found in higher end workstation and server motherboards back in the PIII & PIV era... it's somewhat outdated now [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: i refer to that http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_macosx&num=1 and there the difference is significant in most tests [00:49] shingen, you are very helpful . Thank you for your time. It is much appreciated. :-) [00:49] kapu: anytime [00:49] zsquareplusc, From years in here,, the real life experiences of our users dont agree with that [00:49] MAXI-MUM: ah, so it starts up but it fails to run X?

[02:36] un_dave - terminated [02:36] un_dave: terminated, usually [02:36] un_dave - that's why screen is awesome ;) [02:36] any more what tons2000 [02:36] un_dave: that would terminate it unless you want to use job control to put it into the background [02:36] mdg: What do you mean? I burnt it to a dvd (only thing available), and installed it to a spare partition? [02:36] Out_Cold - ubuntu studio started out as a separate install [02:37] ok, cool thats what i thought. [02:37] sudo -s [02:37] I meant what kind of computer, sorry [02:37] su otherguy and then I can fix his permissions. [02:37] [was feisty based iirc] [02:37] x86, Core2Quad intel thing. [02:37] i havent used screen for a long time. but i remember it being cool :) [02:37] oh.. yea lol... [02:37] Anyone successful using synce?

[02:39] mdg - mount ? [02:39] where is the firefox/mozilla plugin directory on 8.10 with ff3? [02:40] tons2000: will that work with microsoft formatted devcie? [02:40] I need help! I deleted some bluetooth applications and deleted also their settings files. I reinstalled them but the settings files were not created. I don know how to create those files again [02:40] tons2000: ~./mozilla/firefox3 [02:40] mdg: you can just browse it with nautilus, and some players can/should be switched to UMS mode for best compatibility [02:40] mdg - sure, you might need to use -t vfat [02:40] I'm having wireless issues. When I ping anything except 127.0.0.1 I get an error message that infroms me I have unsufficient persmissions. (I tried sudo piong too) [02:40] shingen - i don't see a plugin folder [02:40] s/infroms/sinforms [02:40] nautilius = CLI??? [02:40] mdg: nautilus = your file browser [02:41] tons2000: oh, plugins, not extensions... nevermind [02:41] Hi [02:41] A commentary for those being in the channel for 10+ minutes: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/96477/ [02:41] im having some graphical issues with my nvidia drivers in 8.10. The top bar of windows disappear somewhat when the window lose focus. [02:41] hello all [02:41] hrm [02:41] Guys i need a security expert to go over log files with me because i beleive my box may have been rooted [02:41] Doonz: I'll help [02:41] I'm in a CLI environment [02:41] kolby - shouldnt be, a regular user can use ping [02:41] simpleos can we go private [02:41] Is there any easy way to test boot windows from the grub command line? So I can figure out which device I need to boot windows from for menu.lst [02:42] OK. You start. [02:42] had to kil lother account remove home directory versus changing permissions for each hidden folder one at a time [02:42] chown .* bad [02:42] Windows being on a raid array, I'm not sure how grub will assign it. [02:43] Azazel-AZ, find -exec chown them:theirgroup {} \; will work [02:43] onetinsoldier: it failed to create the package :( some file errors? [02:44] shoudl i just see if maike install works ? [02:44] thanks, I'll ut it in my notebook. I can't belief chown will accend into parent directories [02:45] Is Wireless N supported by Ubuntu yet? [02:45] Azazel-AZ, its the shells fault really, shell expansion i think z or c shell actually avoids this behavior [02:46] Hi [02:47] Does anyone use hfsplus for ubuntu? [02:47] hi i am Marcelo [02:47] hi marcelo [02:47] hi [02:48] venger: file bug report with gnu core-utils or ubuntu? [02:48] chown needs a '..' filter in the program [02:48] sorry [02:48] I luv ubuntu [02:48] Ketzu: yes === rider is now known as Guest24923 [02:49] how is the command to change of channel please? [02:49] Guest24923: /join #channelname [02:49] thanks [02:49] can anyone tell me why this is not working, im trying to get alt+p to output pipe [02:49] There must be a way to "list" the hd's grub can see? [02:49] keycode 33 = p P 0x7c 0x7c 0x7c [02:49] then /part #oldchannelname === Guest24923 is now known as rhider [02:49] I need to find the hd/partition that it see's my raid array as [02:49] xmodmap -e "keycode 33 = p P 0x7c 0x7c 0x7c" [02:50] from the chown man page: [02:50] -R, --recursive [02:50] operate on files and directories recursively [02:50] I'm having problems with my wireless connection. Some websites start loading but doesn't load at all. Can it be anything related with the drivers? [02:50] is there support for HFS+ volumes in Ubuntu? [02:51] !info hfsplus | Bit_Breaker [02:51] hfsplus (source: hfsplus): Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.4-12build1 (intrepid), package size 45 kB, installed size 236 kB [02:52] Skrimmypoo: but the hidden folders in the home directory were assigned to root so of course chown -R me:me * but that changed all but hidden and sudo chown -R me:me .* changed the parents and children it ascended and desended at the same time into from /home/me to /home and /home/otherpeople as well as .purple and .xorg etc [02:52] Firefox keeps eating up my processor! It seems that it happens randomly and all I gotta do is download a new browser like flock at getdeb.net. There is the .deb installer to DL but the question here is: how to uninstall a program installed manually? [02:52] Hey, I somehow boned something up. I've got an acer aspire one, I wanted to leave the Linpus on the internal SSD but install Ubuntu 8.10 on an external USB HDD. The install went okay, except for the fact that I can't boot from either the external drive or the internal drive. Keeps reporting a Grub 2 error. Any ideas? [02:53] fodolfo, a manually installed deb? [02:53] wikki, yeah [02:53] use dpkg [02:53] rodolfo: If you installed a .deb, you can use dpkg [02:53] rodolfo: dpkg --remove the_package_name [02:53] I have that same problem rodolfo [02:53] with firefox [02:53] wikki evowill dgarl, what is this command for? [02:54] dpkg is the debian package manager [02:54] wikki, so fr is there a workaround from mozilla? [02:54] so far* [02:54] I don't know of one [02:54] mine seems to do it with flash sites [02:55] but not flash [02:55] wikki, here is the same but they should be aware of this issue by now [02:55] <_cb> I have a mail list with 27 people but looks as if Evolution only sent the mail to the first 16. Is there a limit on the mailing lists? [02:55] I have done some googling and haven't been able to find a solution [02:56] I just reinstalled my whole box and ti's still happening [02:56] my system also isn't seeing all 4gb of my memory [02:56] on 64 bit [02:56] !enter [02:56] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:56] anyone know why that might happen? [02:56] the weird part is when you run a .flv file through totem media player, it doesn't require too much power processor but viewing a flash movie @ youtube burns my processor... [02:56] !enter | wikki [02:56] wikki: please see above [02:56] sorry [02:56] _cb: or your ISP's mail server has a limit. if you regularly write to many people, you could set up a proper mailing list [02:56] evowill: Is there a list of supported cards/laptops perchance? [02:56] rodolfo: agreed, youtube embedded videos on my pentium 3 kills it [02:57] pentium 3!, time to upgrade [02:57] sadly I have experienced this issue since 7.10 [02:57] <_cb> zsquareplusc don't think it is ISP that list used to work out of Outlook. What do you mean by proper mailing list? [02:57] wikki, used for intergrated graphics? [02:57] and I don't know whose fault it is...mozilla, adobe or they both...? [02:58] rodolfo: more likely its a Flash issue [02:58] I don't think so guest, my 1 gb worked fine, it looks like it's hitting the 3.2 gb 32 bit limit [02:59] eseven73: I think it's a flash issue too, but i'm still not sure what to do [02:59] greetings, there seems to be a bit of a logic error in 9.04 alpha 2 that keeps the liveCD login in an infinite loop. I should be able to work around it if someone knows the default users "ubuntu" password [02:59] _cb: a mailing list is a service where many people can subscribe. but you sent mails to only one address and all subscribers get a copy. mailman is such a server but there are also free services where you don't need your own server [02:59] eseven73 then maybe using another Flach media player can get this solved. is Gnash mature enough to do the job? [02:59] oh, so to hide files you need to put 'dot' at the beginning? [02:59] wikki, do u get same problem from 64 bit live cd? [02:59] AltiusBimm, #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion [02:59] lol@ dot at the begging [02:59] yes Guest23955 [02:59] dsdeiz: putting a dot in front of the name tells your file manager that it's a system file, so it doesn't show it by default. they're not very well hidden :) [03:00] <_cb> zsquareplusc thanks. Don't write often enough to warrant that. Just trying to set up pickup soccer games with friends [03:00] wikki, if it happens in multiple different versions then thats not a software problem [03:00] rodolfo: flash issues can be complicated and above my expertise, you'll have to just keep asking like every 5 mins or so. :) [03:00] useless [03:00] like multiple diff ubuntu versions or distros [03:01] all 4gb shows up in the bios [03:01] Ketzu: message sent [03:02] wikki, video isnt used in bios tho so it must used for video...do u have an intergrated video card? [03:02] yes, but I'm pretty sure it has it's own memory [03:03] dgar1: the 'dpkg --remove the_package_name' command is supposed to be used using the terminal browsing the location where the app is installed or this is not necessary? [03:03] wikki, is it a laptop? [03:03] no [03:03] wikki, u have mobo's details? [03:03] rodolfo: correct [03:03] rodolfo: not necessary to be in the directory [03:03] gs [03:04] yeah, hang on a sec and i'll get it [03:04] wikki, k === rider is now known as Guest49645 [03:05] hi, does anyone here have a hp mini 1000, need help configuring igrantt === Guest49645 is now known as rhider [03:05] bazhang: thanks, i think it would be the same password in most any version since the liveCD-installer feature was implemented though ;P [03:06] thanks you all for the info guys! keep up this good job and have a happy new year! c ya [03:06] how do i send irssi in the background? i need to restart x but dont wanna restart irssi, or would i loose it even if sending it to the background if i restart X? *kicks self for not using screen* [03:06] erm [03:07] does anyone know anything about raid? i installed 2 hdds as a mirrored raid using a raid controller built into a motherboard.. now the motherboard died and i need to get access to my old files... how do i do that?

[03:10] waxhead_: it keeps saying bash: bg: 13647: no such job [03:11] Guest23955: it's an intel 9453gl [03:11] I'm running a remote Ubuntu server and I want to install a (secure) remote desktop on it; does anyone know of any good resources for this? [03:11] merther: parted to make partition(s) if you want... mkfs to format a filesystem [03:11] MikeH, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , it tells you which file it's using [03:11] I wonder if I need to update the bios or something [03:11] hai bazhang [03:11] damo22: if it's a mirror, you should be able to mount it normally [03:11] eseven73: is that the pid of irssi? [03:11] yep [03:11] onetinsoldier: Thanks I'll check those out. [03:11] Fragsworth: i'm usally happy with either ssh -X or vnc over ssh [03:12] merther: ok, you're welcome [03:12] napa gak pke bhsa indo ja [03:12] caca, this is ubuntu support; /join #ubuntu-id [03:12] thanks for the help everyone. [03:12] for some reason all my videos on my mythbuntu installation are out of sync when i play them. What could be causing this? [03:12] aim not englis [03:12] eseven73: it's the first number in the output... so you should see something like you name and then the pid [03:12] waxhead_: so i could install it into an external usb hdd box and just plug it in and mount it as a single drive? [03:12] waxhead_: yeah thats what i picked [03:12] who can tell me, how to find the asm/io.h file ? I have installed linux-header package [03:13] ohmygod: locate io.h maybe after a run of update-db [03:13] MikeH: you may have created the file and put it in place, but have you restarted X since doing so? [03:13] damo22: maybe... as long as you mount it iwth the right filesystem you should be fine... [03:14] damo22: it's a mirror, so you have 2 to go with... striping is more of a problem as you would have to get at least 2 of the 3 ( if you used 3 ) up to get at your data [03:14] hi [03:14] MikeH: also, check out --> grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you don't want to look through the whole file [03:14] ohmygod: find /usr/src -iname 'asm/io.h' [03:14] waxhead_: even with an obscure raid controller... it wouldnt partition the drive in an unreadable way? [03:14] ohmygod: you'll need to make a symlink [03:14] zsquareplusc, no, The header file should in /usr/include/asm/ , but there's nothing. [03:15] eseven73: it can't be the right pid then.... ?? [03:15] wikki, sry my internet disconnected did u get the information? [03:15] Guest23955: it's an intel D945gl [03:15] ohmygod: why should it be there. that path somehow doesnt work if you have multiple linux-headers installed [03:15] damo22: dunno... guess you'll have to try it out... no harm in that... === Moo_ is now known as overshee === overshee is now known as Overshee [03:16] er D945CGL [03:16] whats a fan control program? [03:16] hey i just got a machine from dell with ubuntu installed, and it wont let me ssh to any other machines [03:16] it just hangs after authentication [03:16] damo22: I can't see why it would.. even for a mirror... but then I'm not the world's best expert on things like this... [03:16] waxhead_: my friend tried putting the 2 drives into an external raid box, but the drives wouldnt appear (on a mac) [03:16] do they do something to block ssh? [03:16] hey guys, my laptop is having some graphic card issues, it says that fglrx needs to be enabled yet it doesnt enable it, however, xorg-driver-fglrx was installed and when i uninstalled x failed to start untill i reinstalled it. Also, i cannot shut down nor log off from the menu, i have to open a console and type sudo reboot [03:17] zsquareplusc, then, I have to make a symlink to it? ok, thanks [03:17] damo22: if it was me, I'd just try the one disk on a spare controller (IDE? SATA? ) and see if I could mount that... [03:17] waxhead_: ok thanks i'll tell him to give that a try [03:17] In bash, how do i change the working directory? [03:18] uh, cd [03:18] ohmygod: maybe they are in /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/ ... [03:18] Delvien: cd new_directory [03:18] damo22: you could also try a live disk like knoppix... I once recovered data from a fat32 drive that had it's MBR corrupted... [03:18] debcarlos sorry, bash script [03:18] Anyone here use irssi? Do you use something other than gnome-terminal for it? I find it's less than ideal, for example alt+left/right doesn't work, alt+t will open up tabs menu instead of changing window [03:18] debCarlos: I have cd /directory, but im afraid it doesnt actually make it cd when i run the script [03:18] whats a fan control program for ubuntu? [03:19] if it helps i'm using a del inspiron e1705 integrated radeon card [03:19] Delvien, what do you think the difference between a script and the commands you type are? [03:19] Delvien: How do you know it ? [03:19] for some reason all my videos on my mythbuntu installation are out of sync when i play them. What could be causing this?

[03:24] damn, i stopped the firewall [03:24] grayhane: so, you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10... no version in between, correct?

[03:26] MikeH: Anyone here use irssi? Do you use something other than gnome-terminal for it? I find it's less than ideal, for example alt+left/right doesn't work, alt+t will open up tabs menu instead of changing window --> my reply: try rxvt-unicode [03:26] simpleos you still around [03:26] onetinsoldier, my attempt to do an upgrade was a disaster, so I did fresh install [03:27] Wicked: i think it would be better to fix.. but you find them in the session system>prefs>sessions [03:27] MikeH: as in ... sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode [03:27] zsquareplusc, that doesnt seem to disable them [03:28] hello all [03:28] grayhane: ok, roger === princess is now known as princess12508 [03:28] onetinsoldier, any idea how I can get this usb to read the flash ? tried installing the auto mount for usb, still nothing.

[03:49] sergeys: how would i go about that? [03:49] im thinking the reason my addons arent working is because i installed pidgin 2.5.3 but in its own dir in the Home folder. would that make a difference? [03:50] oh, and there's /sbin for root stuff like ifup and others [03:50] nathanhelp: open shell, and type ping ip.add.ress.goes.here [03:50] sergeys: If you want to know if the cable is ok, yes when i use windows they can see each other. I just dont know how to do so in ubuntu. [03:51] nathanhelp: did you configure networking on both machines? Do you use DHCP? [03:52] installed roundcube however the php pages are comign to the browser instead of being interpreted on the server... whats up? [03:52] sergeys: I think so. standard ubuntu 8.10 install. [03:52] wired = auto eth0 [03:52] there some tools I can check memory being used? [03:53] nathanhelp: when installing there was a network config. Did it find your DHCP server?

[03:56] shingen, i will check it out - thanks. is it very resource intensive? [03:56] sergeys: invalid shell [03:57] anyone know why 64 bit ubuntu would only see 3.2 gb memory? [03:57] jacekowski: I have joined the box to AD and set up auth. There is no record of the users on the server of course... How do I set up default shell to fall back for AD users? [03:57] wiki if you have 4 GB of ram that 3.2 GB is the real amount of ram you have [03:58] itai-michaelson: depends how large your forum is, threadwise & user wise [03:58] sergeys, the user doesn't have an entry in /etc/passwd? [03:58] itai-michaelson: you will require a LAMP setup... [03:58] wikki: no [03:58] shingen, very small - about 5 people [03:58] kitche huh? [03:58] wikki: nope, user authenticates through AD server [03:58] sergeys: how did you configured that authentication? [03:58] shingen, i just realised that.. i'm looking at the ubuntu wiki for phpbb [03:59] jacekowski: read bunch of how-tos and copied some config from anotehr ubuntu box that I set up like 6 months ago... [03:59] sergeys: show me /etc/pam.d/sshd [03:59] AH ok i have a tar.gz plugin for pidgin and i have no clue how to run it... all it contains is a few .c files, a .h and .rc [03:59] sergeys, never done that type of setup [03:59] itai-michaelson: for something really small, you might not need mysql... [03:59] sergeys: look in to logs [03:59] shingen, what can i use then? [04:00] itai-michaelson: what's your hw constraints? [04:00] itai-michaelson: heck, you can give everyone ftp access to an html directory and all you need is apache & ftp :) [04:00] jacekowski: logs don't tell anything. I tried to enable debug level logging, and it looks like it says that PuTTY closes the connection [04:01] jacekowski: although anotehr box works just fine... [04:01] shingen, basically ,i'm running an old desktop . 1GB ram, pentium 4. I would mind buying some more ram, but i'm not going to change the computer [04:01] sergeys: tcpdump will tell you who closed the session [04:01] itai-michaelson: apache & an ftp session sounds like a good way to start, easy too... :) === Aryan is now known as Guest60177 [04:02] does anyone know what to do with a tar.gz with .c and .h and .rc inside?

[04:05] dexi, its possible th source dosent use a ./configure script.. look for and read any readme/install doc files.. as i said.. it may be better for you to search for packages if you need newer versions then whats in the repos.. [04:05] dexi: not all source packages have a configure script [04:05] dexi, and since its a pidgin Plugin.. ive no idea what extras/issues you may encounter... [04:05] Thanks, that helped alot [04:05] itai-michaelson: naah, PIV will be fine, more ram would be nice, depending on what else you run on the box [04:06] dr_willis: shingen lol thanks idk i'll just forget it :p silly thing anyway.

[04:07] yep i did :) [04:07] gnea, ati radeon x1950 pro [04:07] blackest_knight: got build essentials, it doesnt complain about anything... i think its just some files that i need to put in the right place.

[04:19] dexi: you have no idea how long it took me to figure that out ;) [04:19] Only a reboot fixes it (although I would think logout login would probably work too) [04:19] adam7: its not the normal problem you would think "check the plug" would apply to [04:19] Dingbat67, is it usb mouse? [04:19] itzhero: i question that its even mounted then. have you checked in /media/? [04:19] Hrm [04:19] Gnea, ok brb i think it wont work brb..

I was looking into 'key-based' authentication which appears to be able to allow logins w/ or w/o a password on that 'trusted key'.

Flash isn't working. my error Console is filling up but I don't know who/how/where to submit them to... could someone point me in the right directino [05:33] ScottG489: i don't think so, you have to install it yourself [05:33] ScottG489, no.. open system>Admin>Synaptic and search for java [05:33] Query? - does anyone know of an application for XFDL forms? [05:33] izinucs: yea, looks like i want "java-common" [05:34] ScottG489, sun java 5 or 6 depending.. and the rest will be pulled in as dependancies. [05:34] does anyone suggest using add/remove at all? I've used both synaptic and add/remove and I always see synaptic recommended but wondered why. [05:35] my live cd wouldnt load, or install like normal( put in disk, and boot) so i installed my ubuntu through windows into a disc partition. Will grub appear when i restart my computer or can i not boot ubuntu now? [05:35] synaptic gives you more options/control [05:35] gbear14275, synaptic gives you the ability of seeing more that's available in the repos.. other than that they get their info and install in the same basic manner. [05:35] are you new to ubuntu and/or linux [05:36] gbear14275, also .. I'm not sure about this .. but add/remove might only show items in "Main". [05:36] xav_: by "installed through windows" do you mean you used Wubi (the Windows program where you pick an install size, username, and password in Windows, then reboot into an Ubuntu setup)? [05:37] holaa acabo de poner xubuntu emulado en virtualbox tengo un problema como hago para q se me vea la pantalla completaa [05:37] ! startup [05:37] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [05:37] yes i think so. except i never rebooted into setup. [05:37] !boot [05:37] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [05:37] hola! [05:37] hola [05:37] when i try adn install inn2-lfs i keep getting "innconfval: open of /etc/news/inn.conf failed: No such file or directory [05:38] whole_la [05:38] but apt-get should install the file for me [05:38] forensicwannabe: yes, I am new but have managed to transition completely over to linux in the last few months. pretty proud of it :). but there are a few basic/cultural questions I have from time to time. To me it makes sense to recommend basic installs use the add/remove application and only when a user needs finer grained control to point them to synaptic... but i never seem to see this [05:38] Is it recommended to upgrade linux kernel into a non generic one? [05:38] xav_: ah. So you started Wubi but never rebooted to continue installation? Theoretically, when you reboot, it's going to start up the Ubuntu installer, then... [05:38] sancho21_: not in most cases, no. -generic works fine for most people. [05:39] i was told that to get WOW to work in wine i need to disable compiz . . . any hints on how to track down what's using that to reconfigure it? [05:39] I will be able to set up the grub from there? i dont wont to be in a cycle that won't allow me to boot to either windows or linux [05:39] my mozilla firefox closes itself...why./ [05:39] ? [05:39] gbear14275, for whatever reason I've always gravitated to Synaptic since my conversion 2-3 yrs ago.. I just never think of add/remove. [05:39] rww: Wow that made it as easy as pie. I remember having to fight Mandrake 7.1 just to make a partition lol. I am almost tempted to not dual boot at all and run Ubuntu on its own. Come to think of it, only thing I need Vista for is Guild Wars (pc game) and maybe OneNote hehe [05:39] how do you copy and paste text from ANY emulator into ubuntu? [05:39] i lost my note! [05:39] xav_: Wubi sets up Grub for you =/ [05:39] mayank, I have the same problem too. It's segmentation fault [05:39] alright cool. thanks much, [05:40] sancho21: so what to do? [05:40] how do I stop an application from using compiz? [05:40] can somebody tell me how to perform a sudo command on start up? When i add it in sessions it does not appear to work [05:40] gbear14275: the apt, and synaptic do basically the same thing. they install deb packages with all their dependencies. only very advanced users will know how to select or deselect from a deb package, and for the most part, even they will not mess with the deb package [05:40] zboy: Glad to hear it :). You may be interested to know, by the way, that Guild Wars can run in Ubuntu using wine. See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 and the !wine factoid.

[05:41] don't understand what u just say... [05:41] daw: You can't; you can only turn it off for all programs: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None [05:41] anyone help me with a flashchat problem? [05:41] !anyone | denny32 [05:41] denny32: 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? [05:41] in terminal? [05:42] gbear14275: as for your firefox, have you installed any plugins lately? do you have bookmarks? have you installed any packages immediately prior to noticing problems in fire fox? [05:42] yes [05:42] mayank, sancho21_ .. go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal and in the window that opens cut and past the test between the quotes on my previous quote. [05:42] *text [05:43] rww once do that if I have no user applications running should I be ok killing any remaining processes? [05:43] forensicwannabe: I'm playing around with it now but the latest thing I installed was the icedtea java plugin (which I'm trying to get rid of) but that was weeks ago... flash seemed to be working last night and now isn't and I haven't done anything since then [05:43] izinucs, done...now [05:43] start mozilla again? [05:44] yes [05:44] done that [05:44] can u tell me in detail...what is segmentation fault? [05:44] rww: Now that's a dream come true (: very awesome indeed! [05:44] izinucs, can u tell me in detail...what is segmentation fault? === deniz is now known as Guest18024 [05:44] daw: I'm not sure what you're asking. You should be able to enable and disable Compiz regardless of whether you have any other programs running... just turn it off before you start WoW/wine, and turn it back on if you want it when you're done playing. [05:44] RI_ you need to be more specific about what you mean by running sudo on startup, and what you mean by adding it in sessions. do you mean running sudo in terminal from the desktop? [05:44] forensicwannabe: gimme a little bit to try and resolve this and I'll try to come back with more information [05:45] mayank, you gotta play with it to see it that will happen again. I'm not sure what a segmentation fault is but might be because of a plugin that was installed. [05:45] forensicwannabe: but thanks for inquiring [05:45] When I run vlc to play a movie. I got error as If I don't have enough memory allocation [05:45] made a fresh install of hoping to get 1920x1200 again but i got 1600x1200 as usual... can anyone help me? this problem has haunted me for about 6 months :S lol [05:45] But mplayer made it [05:45] izinucs, ok, and should i update my ubuntu 8.10 with terminal or update manager? [05:46] mayank, doesn't matter does the same thing.. [05:46] izinucs, ok..thanx [05:46] sancho21_, i think u could change that in the vlc settings.. [05:46] mayank, terminal uses less system ressources [05:46] mayank, np :) [05:47] gbear14275: you have a choice. which is the more agreeable way to handle your problem for you philosophy of learning and or using ubuntu. You can do it the hard way and try to find the problem, and or do what I would do: Just remove all java and firefox and start over. [05:47] hello, question, ive got winxp as an image, when i use virtual machine manager, after i allocate space for it, it gives me an error: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed .... can anyone help me out? [05:47] guest18024, thanx...thats a good tip, but if segmentation fault comes in terminal in middle..then what to do? [05:48] kalvin_, not enough info.. what virtual machine program are you using.? [05:48] forensicwannabe: lol, I was about to ask if i uninstalled firefox if all my bookmarks and settings would be deleted (great minds think alike) I'm hoping the answer is no [05:48] nbeebo, In a fresh installation of Ubuntu and vlc, I got this error. This is can be fixed by doing your writings before, right? [05:48] I'm looking for a little help with bluetooth audio stuff, connecting a phone and headset to my computer. Details on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6466515 [05:49] gbear14275: be sure to save your bookmarks...... bookmarks> organize bookmarks> import and backup> export HTML [05:49] hello. I have mounted an iso and want to copy its contents using dd (since trying to use cp gives me errors). When I use dd it tells me that my source is a directory and exits without copying anything. Is there a workaround for this? [05:49] isinucs: its called virtual machine manager, someone recommended it from on here. there error is: Unable to complete install: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error invalid domain type attribute' [05:50] Can anyone help me with the sound problem I have? Sometimes a program will take sole control of the sound, and then I can't get other programs to play sound, even after quitting the program and restarting my sound server (using a different one doesn't help either)... [05:50] dishwasher use the are option with cp [05:50] kalvin_, sorry I don't know anything about that program. are you trying to load xp in a vm in Ubuntu? if so you might look at Virtual Box or VMWare Server [05:50] kalvin_: have you tried VirtualBox? [05:50] earthling: the which option? r? [05:51] is there a builtin gui app for configuring samba? [05:51] tonyyarusso, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/306721 [05:51] peepsalot, swat .. you have to install it. [05:51] no, i tried to install vmware, but it gave me some type of error during install, and when i came to here last night, someone recommented virtual machine manager lol [05:51] dishwasher yeah.. cp -r === john is now known as Guest43622 [05:52] kalvin_, you probably had an error with vmware because you didn't install build-essential.. other than that it's pretty painless. [05:52] dishwasher: sorry for that r turning to are :( [05:52] hi, i have a fairly broken package system here... i get a few thousand lines like this: "dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `python-pkg-resources' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed." Reinstalling each package will fix it (I think), but is there a way to parse this list and just get the package names in one list? [05:52] nickrud: I use 8.04 [05:52] earthling: thanks for the help, I'll try it out [05:52] izinucs, thanks, i will try that [05:52] tonyyarusso, then nm :) [05:53] kalvin_, virtual box is in the repos.. easy install. but you won't have usb support unless you get it directly from their site. [05:53] kalvin_: virtualbox and vmware server are more mainstream, virt-manager or w/e might be abondonware? well at any rate, you cant go wrong with VirtualBox realy [05:53] peepsalot, np [05:53] has anyone had an update become available over the past week or so? it seems like a long period for no updates [05:53] i shall try it..thanks [05:54] jtmoney, they have your ip on ignore.. :) [05:54] how do i get it...sorry very new to linux, trying to learn it! [05:54] funny [05:54] but really [05:54] kalvin_, which one.. ? vbox? System>Admin>Synaptic .. search for virtualbox [05:54] the one in the repos with no usb support? 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose' [05:55] gbear14275: resetting your preferences and reinstalling addons is good practice. if you go to Edit> Preferences> Main> Manage Extensions, you can see all your addons, and you can then search for them in firfox and bookmarks before you make a backup of your bookmarks, so they will be there ready for you to install when you reopen. There is a way to save your preferences, but it doesn't always work. I wouldn [05:55] 't do it anyways. I would add one addon at a time, try each one out for a week, and then the next to see if one of the addons is causing a conflict [05:55] jtmoney, on Hardy .. yes.. on Intrepid.. no [05:55] my ubuntu wont boot, either from as a live uninstalled version, and once i installed it through windows and selected it to boot in grub, will not boot. what am i doing wrong? [05:55] izinucs: thanks [05:56] xav_: May be you should add acpi=off in the boot parameter [05:56] jtmoney, you can always check from terminal with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade " [05:56] I'm using transmission 1.06 and seeing 1.45 out there, is there a reason the ubuntu repos is so out of date? [05:56] sexcopter: hello, eould you be up for just 'trying' to reinstall every package that's you currently have installed? i don't know if this will work with the breakage you have or not. i'm not vertasin if i fully understand what wrong there. are you getting this error for a few thousand packages? [05:56] ok..good to know, is there a specific one i should use? [05:56] where can i change that, in boot settings after the grub selection? [05:56] s/vertasin/certain [05:57] xav_ select the first menu of Ubuntu menus (boot selection), then press 'e' [05:57] after you edit it, press b [05:57] trollboy, they are typically in date for the version that was available durning the development.. occationally there is a PPA on launchpad that will have a newer version. [05:57] kalvin_: the opensource one is called VirtualBox-OSE [05:57] is it default to yes? and what is acpi? [05:58] sexcopter: could you pastebin a sample of the errors you're getting? [05:58] kalvin_: but theres no usb support with that one [05:58] xav_ acpi make your computer turn off automatically after shutdown [05:58] without pressing power button anymore [05:58] kalvin_: if you want usb support you'll have to go on virtualbox's site and download it from there, [05:59] i dont know that that is the problem, it looks as if it wonts too boot but goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor at top left. [05:59] Anybody know where i can find an old-school classic Windows theme? I've tried Gnome-look, but all it seems to have is XP themes. [05:59] schnauzer: try the builtin redmond theme [05:59] lol you want win 95 looking theme get IceWM [05:59] ok thanks [05:59] I'm trying to move something from the desktop to usr/bin but it says I don't have permission...how do I fix this? [06:00] yw kalvin_ [06:00] Hi there [06:00] so according to dmidecode, I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor...Does that mean I should be running the x64 version of Ubuntu? [06:01] xav: what do you mean when you say you "installed it through windows?" do you mean that you installed it after windows, or on a machine that windows was installed on? [06:01] no - i mean a window border, im already using redmond; eseven73 - i'd really like to avoid switching from GNOME. [06:01] vermont: what user are you? root? [06:01] schnauzer: but icewm isnt a theme, i was just being silly :) [06:01] sexcopter: hello... you here?

[06:01] eseven73: :P [06:01] earthling, I really don't know :-S [06:01] windows is installed. i could not get it to boot through the trial type thing where it is not installed, so i installed it through windows into a partition.

[06:03] xav: did you make the partition with windows installation cd, or partition with ubuntu, and what version of ubuntu disk did you use/ [06:03] russ5811: OSE or non-free? [06:04] /join #pidgin [06:04] Hi I configured my screen rotation to upside down and now when i start gnome the pointer is correct but nothing else shows up. any idea how to fix it from another user in bash?

[06:04] Brack101: for video enconding, scientific calculations, etc. you would see a dramatic improvement; but not so much for desktop usage. you also need 64 bit to effectively use large amounts of ram [06:04] not sure Brack, downloaded the .deb from the website. free [06:04] Hi is it wise to get 3GB RAM - or just leave it at 2GB dual channel? [06:04] sari, do you think that i could install on a thumb drive, install vmware player, and run virtual appliance from the thumb drive? [06:04] forensicwannabe-- made partition with windows installer, ubuntu version is 8.1 desktop [06:04] vermont: ok.. the thing is root is THE linux/Unix admin's login name [06:05] install gos that is... === howls is now known as dishwasher2 [06:05] vermont:the root is the one who ultimately can configure change or do anything major in linux [06:05] earthling: can I change it so 'matthew' has all the power...since, you know, it's 'matthew's' computer. [06:05] ok thanks [06:05] Brack101: afaik, the big holdout on 64bit was adobe's flash player, but my understanding is that there's a 64bit flash now [06:05] does the gnome-support package for firefox contain basically the help section? It wasn't required when I reinstalled firefox so wondering what it is. [06:05] w3rd_, run what under vmware? [06:05] if your a Linux user/admin, you don't go around to people asking, got milk? you ask, got root? [06:06] hey all, has anyone installed "yo frankie" and if so, how did you do it, becauseits eating my brain [06:06] vermont: well its not recommended.. and as mathew knows the root password he can become root whenever he wants [06:06] earthling: i don't know if you got my last message, I get errors like: "cannot create symbolic link" and "operation not permitted" [06:06] anyone know how to make usb devices function in virtualbox running winxp [06:06] Can anyone help me with the sound problem I have? Sometimes a program will take sole control of the sound, and then I can't get other programs to play sound, even after quitting the program and restarting my sound server (using a different one doesn't help either)... [06:06] sexcopter: hello... you here? [06:06] earthling, lol, so how can I become root [06:06] xav, just put your windows install cd back into your drive and delete the partition. don't worry about it. so that you only have one partition. then use the auto partitioner on the ubuntu disk, it will work like magic [06:06] moDumass: IIRC you just un extract the arcive and run the exe [06:07] onetinsoldier: hi, sorry i left for a moment, back now [06:07] if i install gos to a flash drive, can i install vmware player.. and use the additional space for the gos file system to store a virtual appliance and run from the pen drive [06:07] gaminggeek, hmm, exe`s the only way? [06:07] sexcopter: ok, np.. hello [06:07] and whats the difference between the firefox and firefox-3.0 packages... they both say the same thing [06:07] coolur, il give it a whirl [06:07] onetinsoldier: i'll copy the whole lot to pastebin or something [06:07] sexcopter: ok [06:07] vermont: /usr/bin is where some executables that riun the sys are present it is not recommended that you store your files there unless you know what you are doing.. store your files in /home/mathew [06:08] vermont: that's your home folder..

[06:10] vermont: goto cd /usr [06:10] xav: did you try the automated partitioner in ubuntu? [06:10] sexcopter: i had to abort that. i don't seem to receive DCC sends unless i shut off my firewall first [06:10] ok. trying to figure out how to get the window titlebars back [06:10] onetinsoldier: oh, ok. i'll try pastebin [06:10] vermont: do a ls -la there and tell me what the bin line says [06:10] eross: are you sure openbox is actually running? do you have the openbox root menu? [06:11] sexcopter: ok, or i can shot off my firewall for a minute [06:11] shut* [06:11] forensicwannabe: is it the one where you simply select the gig size you want it installed? like the choices were 4gb, 6gb, 8gb, and 10gb. if so then yes i did, but i did it not to the partition where i have windows but to a separate partition [06:11] xav: I think you will be okay if you can manage to edit grub . the question is, are the ubuntu install grub link address still intact in your grub config file? [06:11] i selected openbox session and booted in. i may have made some changes to it i forgot about [06:11] earthling, pmed...

[06:12] this says that root can put files in that directory [06:12] I'm basically trying to extract/unpack an iso installation dvd (its not linux) to a usb hard drive, any tips on how to make an exact copy in ubuntu? [06:12] xav did you partition windows before you installed ubuntu: [06:13] forensicwannabe: yes, i had a partition with xp, and saved some later for a ubuntu install. i partitioned when i installed windows. [06:13] sexcopter: it looks to me as if maybe the files in your /ver/lib/dpkg/info directory might have been deleted [06:13] vermont: run your copy command with sudo prepended to iit.. it will ask for password .. type in the password and then the copy will be done [06:13] sexcopter: it looks to me as if maybe the files in your /var/lib/dpkg/info directory might have been deleted [06:13] hello [06:14] มีใครอยู่บ้าง [06:14] onetinsoldier: well, i know there are some there (about 1500 files), but yeah it looks like a lot are missing. i know i haven't deleted them myself... [06:14] ccc [06:14] sexcopter: would you like to try reinstalling all packages on your package list? [06:14] all [06:14] earthling, ok so explain this to me like I'm eight, I don't know how to copy a file from folder to folder in terminal...I am a fairly inexperienced ubuntu user, as you undoubtedly noticed. [06:14] onetinsoldier: yes, if there is an easy way to do that [06:15] vermont: tell me what you want to copy and where you want to copy it to? [06:15] xav_: if you use ubuntu auto partitioner, then you neither want or need to partition before installing., You windows should be on one partition, you HD should only have one partition, then and only then should you execute the ubuntu auto partitioner. [06:17] vermont: what's this builds a directory? [06:17] i'm having some trouble sharing a folder with samba [06:17] sexcopter: before we try, show me the output listing of one of the broken packages... for instance --> dpkg -l python-pkg-resources [06:17] forensicwannabe: i believe it was the only way i could install. Since the installer from restart would not work. I really do not think it is my partitions messing it up, because i could not get the uninstalled trial to run. [06:18] xav_: if your ubuntu has never run yet, I think you should delet all but the one windows partition with your windows cd, and then run ubuntu install [06:18] is there a way to track all writes to files? [06:18] it was what was extracted from the tar.gz folder...the program emusicdlm is inside it. [06:18] i tried right clicking on the folder in nautilus and enabling sharing through that, but I can't access the folder from other computers. they see the folder, but it requires authentication which I can't get past [06:19] forensicwannabe: i dont see how that would make a problem with my ubuntu not booting, but if you truly believe this, i can try. [06:19] onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96623/ [06:19] Hi is it wise to get 3GB RAM - or just leave it at 2GB dual channel? [06:19] peepsalot, they either need an account or you need to create a new user called "foo" with a password of "bar" and have anyone using that machine to authenticate with those creds. [06:19] xav_ different computers react different ways, but ubuntu has been working to make their auto partitioner work with as many architectures as possible these days.. [06:20] gmathews: if it's a cheap upgrade, i'd go for it [06:20] izinucs, i thought I could use a regular user login that is already on this computer [06:20] anyone help me installing squid with delaypools feature, as "apt-get install squid" just installs it and dont let us configure installation options. [06:20] gmathews, 2's fine.. if you can upgrade why not just go to 4 with 2 new sticks? [06:20] any idea please ? [06:20] gmathews: but if you're running 64-bit, 4 gig is better =) [06:20] vermont: ok... I will tell you not to copy that folder into /usr/bin.. NEVER.. but if you want to do it then here it is "$sudo cp -vr /home/matthew/Desktop usr/bin" [06:20] peepsalot, you should be able to .. [06:20] sexcopter, i already have 1 GB now, but a 2GB bundle seems cheaper than buying another 1 GB [06:20] izinucs, it does not appear to work [06:20] gmathews, and its usually not a good idea to miss match sticks. [06:20] sexcopter: ok, here we go.. my next message if the command, it's like a one-liner script. i didn't make it myself, got it from #debian many moons ago [06:20] earthling, should I just move the program itself? [06:21] peepsalot, are they linux machines trying to access or Win machines? [06:21] xav_ sometimes the auto partitioner is the only way it will work. furthermore, if you try to install it another way, and/or mess with the grub, then you could lose your windows install also [06:21] gmathews: if you have 1gb, then adding a 2gb stick is the way to go [06:21] xav_: i [06:21] izinucs, linux [06:21] sexcopter: #### the following line will reinstall all currently installed packages #### [06:21] sexcopter: dpkg --get-selections | while read p s; do [ "$s" = "install" ] && echo -n "$p "; done | xargs apt-get install --reinstall [06:21] vermont: do you want to run the program from command line but not want to got that folder eerytime to run the program? [06:21] sexcopter, can u run a 1GB and a 2 gb stick in dual channel? [06:21] forensicwannabe: it seems so basic that it would be able to work with my already made partition. or even i think it should run the trial. I don't think that my partition should mess with that. it wont be the end of the world if i lose windows, but i'd like to avoid it :) [06:21] izinucs, is there a way to revert samba settings to default, in case something was messed up [06:22] Hello, I was wondering if someone knows how to get the Gnome menu to appear whenever I right click on my desktop. [06:22] earthling, I actually just want to put a launch icon on my toolbar, and get the folder off my desktop [06:22] onetinsoldier: thank you very much! i'll give it a try. === John is now known as Guest5310 [06:22] xav_: I'm pretty sure you could handle the grub stuff, and if you mess it up, that's a good way to learn anyways. Just be sure to backup you important data [06:22] peepsalot, it makes it much easier if the lan workgroup name is the same on all the machines.. for whatever reason I don't have an issue from a hardy laptop to a Intrepid desktop [06:22] gmathews: i'm not 100%, but i think you can, yes [06:22] /j #ubuntu-pk [06:22] gmathews, the dimms placed in dual channel slots must not only be of the same capacity, but of the same model and manifacturer as well [06:22] sexcopter: you're welcome. i believe that will work for you. :-) good luck! [06:22] peepsalot, yep.. uninstall it and delete the samba.conf file.. then reinstall. [06:22] Hello, IRC! [06:23] Welcome, jzq, welcome to #ubuntu!

[06:23] happy new year with 2009 wishes that you have to come true [06:24] vermont: copy that whole thing from desktop to your /mathew/home dir [06:24] same to you jim_p :) [06:24] waterme: please don't bring bots in here [06:24] :) [06:24] Guruji: If you have a question, please ask it so someone can assist you, rather than asking "help" :) [06:24] Is it normal to not have a "current sessions" tab in System > Preferences > Sessions [06:24] could whoever joined that bot to here please visit #ubuntu-ops. [06:24] xav_: the question is wheather you grub has the correct address for your ubuntu. If it doesn't, then you can pretty well forget it. You need to google grub config to learn how to interpret and edit grub. I will check my bookmarks. I have a few good webpages that can probably help you. [06:24] j #gentoo [06:24] vermont: then create a link for the file that runs your software on the desktop [06:24] thanks jim_p / sexcopter :) [06:24] anyone help me installing squid with delaypools feature, as "apt-get install squid" just installs it and dont let us configure installation options. [06:24] any idea please ? [06:25] the main thing to setup is --delay-pools [06:25] Is it normal to not have a "current sessions" tab in System > Preferences > Sessions [06:25] where could I ask questions about linux drivers? [06:25] I am not getting sound in Ubuntu using Gateway laptop. No sound on anything including Desktop, DVD. etc. Video only works. Any ideas? tnx [06:25] forensicwannabe: thats the problem? grub's not finding the right bootup process thing? i can search for it but i'm not to sure if i'll find exactly what i need. [06:25] and .... --enable-delay-pools --enable-cache-digests --enable-poll --disable-ident-lookups --enable-truncate --enable-removal-policies [06:25] earthling, OK great. I will do that. I just thought I'd try to put the program where most of the other programs were located...I really just wish the package included an installer [06:26] colton_, here as well. depending on the hardware though [06:26] earthling, thanks again. [06:26] colton_, please just ask the question if someone here can answer it they will. [06:26] the very helpful folks at #winehq have told me to update my drivers for my video card. Any info on how/where to drivers for a Intel 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics controller? And how to make X use that driver? [06:26] daw, did they know you had intel? [06:26] Is it normal to not have a "current sessions" tab in System > Preferences > Sessions [06:26] Yasumoto are you there now ? [06:27] Guruji: can you grab the squid source and build it yourself? [06:27] i did the following... [06:27] daw, because if they did, they would also know that the intel drivers come preinstalled and are most likely on the latest version [06:27] Is it normal to not have a "current sessions" tab in System > Preferences > Sessions [06:27] Guruji: sudo apt-get build-dep squid will give you your dependencies [06:27] daw: generally, you just use the version of the intel driver included with ubuntu and get upgrades to it when you upgrade ubuntu [06:27] torrent paused due to disk read error / mozilla also closes itself same time...what to do? [06:27] I'm looking for an online book/text which teaches linux device drivers. Could someone point me in the right direction? [06:28] R1_: lol slow down those repeats a bit ;) one every 5 mins is generally accepted. someone will get to you :) === sarah is now known as Guest72087 [06:28] and apt-get source squid will pull the source itself [06:28] colton_, you want to develope device drivers? [06:28] Hello, I was wondering if someone knows how to get the Gnome menu to appear whenever I right click on my desktop? [06:28] eseven73, i'm desperate === Guest72087 is now known as sari [06:29] vermont: can you tell me how you installed the software? did any of your installation steps require "make install" ? [06:29] Yes. [06:29] colton_: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ [06:29] torrent paused due to disk read error / mozilla also closes itself same time...what to do? [06:29] R1_ yeh, i have no current session tab in my sessions dialogue [06:29] R1_: you and 100 others in here , id' help you but im running IceWM so i dont have those menus :/ [06:30] moDumass, why don't we have this anymore? how will we know the order of the startup items [06:30] R1_ no idea sorry [06:30] R1_: you could put stuff on Cron thats what i do, theres a GUI for it too gnome-schedule :) and its in the repos too [06:30] xav_: you mean address, or yeah but less likely I think it could be a boot process. I just looked in my bookmarks, but I didn't find my grub stuff. I am going to grep it, and if I don't find anything, I am going to google it [06:31] earthling...I don't know how to do tar.gz I just extracted it to the desktop opened the folder and clicked on the program emusicdlm...it launched the program so I just figured I'd move it off the desktop and drag it to my toolbar [06:31] thx [06:31] I have installed virtualbox-2.1_2.1.0-41146_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb manually and cant remove it. What is the apt get command i should be using or can it be done through synaptic [06:31] R1_: why does the order matter? [06:31] R1_: nice thing bout gnome-schedule is you can set things to start at boot too :) [06:31] eseven73, even sudo commands? [06:31] pretender, apt-get autoremove virtualbox-2.1 [06:31] with sudo [06:31] R1_: yep if you run gnome-schedule as root [06:32] R1_: which would be 'gksu gnome-schedule' [06:32] eseven73, ty i'll take a look [06:32] yw [06:32] anyone know what file gnome changes when you change screen rotation? its not in .gconf and causes gnome to crash so cant change with gui [06:32] eseven73, should sudo commands work if you add them to sessions? === adam is now known as Guest10602 [06:33] forensicwannabe: i just found someone posting with a problem the same as mine so i might try changing the acpi=off as someone else already mentioned [06:33] R1_: hmmm i dont really use sessions === Guest10602 is now known as Aframester [06:33] sari, do you use grandr or a similar *randr app? [06:35] vermont: I that case that's the only best way to run that program [06:36] alright, cool. thanks earthling for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it. [06:36] torrent paused due to disk read error / mozilla also closes itself same time...what to do? [06:36] R1_: may I ask what exactly are you trying to run as root on boot up? [06:36] mayank: is your hard drive full? [06:36] no [06:36] 64gb left === John is now known as Guest36853 [06:37] mayank: interesting, can you restart the torrent/mozilla? [06:37] (try running firefox from the terminal, if you can) [06:37] thanks jim_p worked a treat. [06:37] :) [06:38] eseven73, sudo brctl add bridge0 and some more [06:38] yes [06:39] now its continue working fine...but why the error come..is there any chkdsk option in this or some command like that? [06:39] mayank: any errors pop up? [06:39] xav_: yeah I saw that, but by what sancho was saying, I could tell he was just guessing. He figured if it worked for him, it might work for you, and yeah, it might, but if you start changing things in grub that you don't understand, then you are taking big chances. The best thing to do is to learn how to interpret grub, to look at the file and see what the problem is. [06:39] only one error of disk read error [06:39] eseven73, so you can see, i need to run these after the network manager [06:39] eseven73, that's why order matters [06:39] mayank: "fsck" is what you want to use [06:39] How do I access shared folders in vbox? [06:39] I have guest additions installed [06:39] mayank: the drive must be unmounted first though [06:39] eseven73, and the current session tab and the order option is nowhere to be found in ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex [06:40] eseven73, which all solutions point to from my research [06:40] xav_:back to my search: be right back [06:40] forensicwannabe: i found that on a forum somewhere and am searching for the problem some more. i'll look around a bit first. [06:40] mayank: there's probably a better way, but if I have issues, I'll boot from a liveCD and run fsck on the drive to check it [06:40] R1_: right.... hmm [06:40] eseven73, are yo uon ubuntu 8.10? [06:40] you kidding ? [06:41] why is my sd card not being read [06:41] yasumoto, tell me steps plz, i am new.. [06:41] eseven73, why would i be kidding? you might be on lower versions of ubuntu [06:41] insert live cd...then [06:41] ? [06:42] I am on 8.04 R1_ :) [06:42] mayank: open up a terminal [06:42] is there any way to edit rc.local on a live cd? [06:43] ok [06:43] type? [06:43] debian [06:43] mayank: sudo fdisk -l [06:43] xebian [06:43] why wont ubuntu 8.04 read my sd card? it doesnt show in fdisk -l [06:43] try ubuntu 8.10 [06:43] -L means? [06:43] mayank: then from there, figure out which drive is the one you want (usually /dev/sda) [06:43] Hi, I'm having trouble here, I want to resize my NTFS (vista) partition, I open up gparted but it says unable to read the contents of the file system and won't let me resize it. Any suggestions? [06:44] xav_: first thing you need to do is find your grub file, and back it up. that way if you mess it up you can reinstall it [06:44] mayank: -l for list your drives [06:44] sdflkj: the rc on the live or on the harddrive ? [06:44] mayank: "man fdisk" and "man fsck" will give you more info if you're interested [06:44] Can anyone help me with the sound problem I have? Sometimes a program will take sole control of the sound, and then I can't get other programs to play sound, even after quitting the program and restarting my sound server (using a different one doesn't help either)... [06:45] man fdisk means? [06:45] i want to make a custom live cd basically... I want to make a custom rc.local to download flash plugin and open browser [06:45] No sound on laptop. Any suggestions? (sound fine when in Win Xp) [06:45] so really I just need to edit rc.local [06:45] on the live cd [06:45] forensicwannabe: i can just back it up through windows. just save it to flash? where would it be saved? filename? [06:46] hello i was wanting to know if any one knew what type of vmwar works with ubuntu hardy heron downloaded one and it wouldn't work [06:46] mayank: man is the command to read manual pages (manpages for short) [06:46] vmware [06:46] mayank: so man fdisk brings up the usuage manual for fdisk [06:46] Nehpets: try running "alsamixer -c 0" [06:46] Hello all [06:46] and see what that gives.. [06:46] man *command* is really helpful [06:46] i type fsc -l [06:46] right? [06:46] mayank: sudo fdisk -l [06:46] this girl is stumped big time dont want to download another without knowing which one will work with my system [06:47] oh ya [06:47] how can i handle the removable disk in the virtualbox? [06:47] forensicwannabe: ubuntu> install> boot> grub> menu.lst ? [06:47] but in windows fdisk means for partition, what is fsc -l means? [06:47] any idea? [06:47] virtual box doesnt work for me either good at all [06:47] miranda. tnx. that's in my tab, but i'll try it as a command [06:47] When I was still using windows I had a utility that inspected my video card for errors and problems. Is there a utility like this in linux? [06:47] 65w Athlon64 X2, 7200rpm sata 3.5" disk, and 2x 1g kingston ddr2, 8800gts = more than 350w? anyone know? [06:47] Guys, what should I do if grub does not list my windows drive but when I do a sudo fdisk -l it is listed? [06:47] xav_: yeah, but I don't think you can back it up with windows, unless you can see it [06:48] in windows [06:48] I'm an openBSD guy, have been for years now. But I just tried Ubuntu server on a server where the raid card was not supported in bsd, and I am pretty impressed by the server. [06:48] mayank: fdisk -l will list out all your drives and partitions. fsck is "FileSystemCHecK" [06:48] mayank bahi please be paitent.. fdisk if not not used properly can cause problems. please go through man pages and ttorials o the net for fdisk to get a better understanding [06:48] xav_: are you getting that from your live cd? [06:48] forensicwannabe: i can see it, i can open it with a text editor. i'm not sure if its fully here but i can see it. [06:48] Ubuntu is pretty cool [06:48] i use openbsd as well... [06:48] or from the hard drive [06:49] hdd [06:49] Nehpets: That doesn't show everything - you need to make sure that things like the PCM volume are on (easiest way is to just put everything up to 100) [06:49] ok earthling bhai, jo tum kaho [06:50] i want to check my file system for problems [06:50] Everything just worked, I ran basilisk, and am crossing my fingers [06:50] kapu: glad to hear you like it! [06:50] miranda, tnx, i'm trying that now [06:50] is there anyone use virtualbox? [06:50] xav_: back it up..... save as > menu.lst.bkp [06:50] mayank: good luck. you can come back on IRC once you get the liveCD on in case you have more questions [06:50] done. [06:50] kapu: what is basilisk? [06:50] Yasumoto I've heard other uses of fsck before, is File System ChecK the most common usage with Ubuntu? [06:50] bow [06:51] thanx...actually i have one more question if you are free? [06:51] xav_: back to my google search: be right back [06:51] Just a large script that helps lock down (secure) daemons and stuff [06:51] Google it, its nice [06:51] kapu: roger [06:51] !info basilisk [06:51] Package basilisk does not exist in intrepid [06:51] i prob spelled it wrong, but you get the idea [06:51] bah [06:52] how to get all permissions in ubuntu? [06:52] mayank, sudo is a good way [06:52] Arenlor: hm, not sure about ubuntu specifically, but I just know of fsck as a tool to check disks for errors [06:52] how [06:52] sdflkj: can't help you very far there now, you know the basics how to set up a boot-cd ? [06:52] Does ubuntu 8.04 keep a log of errors that occur in the system? I keep freezing up while playing a game and I am trying to find out what is causing it. [06:52] maynank: to run something as root just: sudo command [06:52] what does it mean when a partition has a red triangle with an exlamation point in it next to the name? === deniz is now known as Guest74225 [06:53] RivitingOn1: yep in /var/log/ [06:53] Yasumoto ok, I know fsck, used it a lot on my one machine, usually my LUG has it File System Consistency checK, wanted to make sure I don't confuse people with usage [06:53] RivitingOn1: /var/log/syslog /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/kern.log [06:53] !sudo | mayank [06:53] mayank: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

Any help? [07:10] Can anyone suggest a HDD scanner that looks for defects or potential problems?  [07:11] FAJALOU: is the other computer a windows machine? [07:11] miranda_psi, how can i say the ubuntu operating system is a best one .. [07:11] forensicwannabe:does your irc client support file transfer? [07:11] miranda_psi: nope both ubuntu, and it has to do with \ cancelling it out,,, but I am not just copying those files; i am copying directories... [07:11] hey i just updated to 8.10 and my audio and video stopped and my computer will no longer shut down through a graphical menu, i have checked to see if it was an apic issue but it is not, i have been trying to find answers for 3 days and have been coming up blank on all accounts [07:12] miranda_psi, when i ask others to use the ubuntu .. they asked me this question .. [07:12] ganu; relatively ot? [07:12] at the very least i would like to know how to save the default firefox information so that when i reinstall i can give them thier firefox settings etc back [07:13] linux HDD inspector [07:13] FAJALOU, not clear [07:13] ganu: if you look at http://www.phoronix.com you will see a lot of benchmarks of linux there that test a lot of things - a recent one was the performance of java on windows vs linux (linux won :D ) [07:13] sorry wrong keyboard [07:14] FAJALOU: how are ou trying to copy the directories across? [07:14] ganu: this is a support channel... i am simply wondering if your question has to do with support,,, or random chitchat ;) [07:14] What is JAVA? === john is now known as Guest45938 [07:15] Barnose: its a programming language developed by sun that is compiled to byte code and run in a virtual machine...

[07:15] FAJALOU, i want to measure the OS .. isnt a good question .. [07:15] forensicwannabe: hmm. i dont want you to give out your email and get spammed for it. i'll try uploading it real quick. [07:16] forensicwannabe: http://fizzied.phasing.org/menu.lst [07:16] miranda_psi, What was the test of java vs windows.... What did they do to say Linux won? [07:16] What's the best way to encrypt/hide files? [07:16] ganu: my apologies, i simply saw the question: Other people ask why is ubuntu the best... which isn't really a support question,,,,, if you know what i am saying... [07:16] !encrypt [07:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about encrypt [07:16] oh or not [07:16] haha [07:17] itzhero -- Encrypt everything. >_> === Commie_Cary is now known as evilCLI [07:17] I can't even play CDs -- I'm not quite convinced it's the best yet. [07:17] forensicwannabe: able to download it? [07:17] FAJALOU, i want to say others ( friends ) this is the way to to comare the ubuntu with other OS ( technically not simply comparing the features present in that ) [07:17] white-sheep: well like if i want to encrypt some filez more so than anything else [07:17] kinda how theres apps for windows that can "lock" your files ha === evilCLI is now known as Commie_Cary [07:18] ganu: got it. ya it is pretty much the fastest preconfigured linux OS, much faster than windows ever was ^^ === [e]Lement is now known as [e]Lement`dc [07:18] itzhero -- Private home directory? Basically, it'll encrypt your home directory when somebody else is logged in (on your account). [07:18] I have both windows and Ubuntu installed..... I used to like going to Ubuntu to browse the web and what not and windows for games.... Now I don't ever go to ubuntu .. So I don't know why it's suppose to be "ownage" either MARNEVEL [07:18] (not on your account**) [07:19] FAJALOU, is there any tool to do that [07:19] well... it is free. [07:19] I'd just like it to work! [07:19] for some reason in the middle of playing a video on YouTube the video turns into a gray rectangle, I refresh and then it works. Any idea why this could be happening? [07:19] ganu: tests have been done, yes. google :) miranda_psi gave you a good link too. [07:19] marnevel, yeah it is free and fun when it works [07:19] miranda_psi: inside of 'My Music' are directories with : in them... so how can I cancel the colon out? [07:19] Barnose: They just run program that perform various different types of activities and compared the time taken (or other result). Have a look at: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=java_vm_performance&num=1 [07:20] miranda_psi, ok [07:21] FAJALOU: I don't have any problems copying files with a ':' in them. What error message are you getting? [07:21] 。。。 [07:21] What does signal 6 mean? I keep getting this: "Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted." [07:21] well, you're not filling me with shining hope, barnose. [07:22] xav_: now I know why it doesn't work [07:22] miranda_psi: i am running it across a network.... if that makes a difference... [07:22] miranda_psi: but it says that it is not a directory [07:22] forensicwannabe: why? [07:22] xav_: it doesn't even know windows is there [07:23] xav_: when your computer boots up, does it give you options for the os list? [07:23] marnevel, I have had no problems with ubuntu.. i got all the cool effects.. no resuolution problems or sound problems.. Everything works for me.. But i never tried to use my dvd drive to play any cds or install anything on Ubuntu.. =) [07:23] miranda_psi: while copying "Piano: the Greatest Hits, disk 2" Error: Invalid filename. This is from a HDD to a flash drive... [07:23] FAJALOU: I noticed that you had a '.' in the middle of of you copy path (at the end of a directory name) - is that meant to be there? [07:23] hello, i'm looking for software to give input to various programs through a touch screen interface, does anyone have any suggestions [07:24] FAJALOU - the filesystem on the flashdrive probably doean't support the ':' character in th filename... [07:24] miranda_psi: yes... everything but the files with folders with names with colons in them don't copy,,, if you follow [07:24] forensicwannabe: it gives me the os'es windows and ubuntu, then when i select ubuntu i could hit a key to get to configure how it boots [07:25] xav_:did you want windows to be the default? [07:25] miranda_psi: when i try to copy across a smb share... i get the error that "Piano: the Greatest Hits, disk 2" 'Not a directory' [07:25] forensicwannabe: i'd rather it have grub to come up each time i boot and let me choose. [07:27] FAJALOU: smb is a MS protocol and so might not support the ':' as a character in the filename - try looking at and using sshfs or scp (or you could even resort to putting everything into a tar, copying that across and then untaring it...) [07:27] Can anyone help me with the sound problem I have? Sometimes a program will take sole control of the sound, and then I can't get other programs to play sound, even after quitting the program and restarting my sound server (using a different one doesn't help either)... [07:28] ............................ [07:28] xav_: you are able to choose even if the default is set, but if you want you can turn off default, and the computer won't boot until you choose. [07:28] hello every one [07:28] Hay....................... [07:28] forensicwannabe: ok. was that part of the problem? [07:29] hi, how can i check what dns servers my network interfaces are using? [07:30] xav_: what happened is that grub did install on your machine, but since you installed ubuntu on another partition, widows still retained control of grub. Windows is not friendly to linux installation [07:30] id like to know if some one can tell me of a specific document i can read to understand the folder structure of linux im used to windows style [07:30] forensicwannabe: i bet. i'm still not sure why it would not load the live trial, but whatever. what can i do about this? [07:30] xav_:what version of windows is on your computer? xp? [07:31] yeah xp mce sp 2 [07:31] separately, my network connections are working, ifconfig shows they are up and they really are working-- but the networkmanager applet doesn't show the connections and lists them as "unmanaged" [07:31] Any gmail-notify-alike apps with support of hosted domain apps? [07:31] i can disable all networking through the networkmanager applet [07:32] xav_: you must do what I said in the first place. you need to delete all partitions except the one which windows is on, and then install ubuntu with the auto installer. [07:32] amerinese, network manager is a piece of junk (v0.70 that ubuntu 8.10 uses). replace it with something else like wicd or wifiradar or something [07:32] i want to create a filesystem but i want to have the most free space available. when i create an ext3 filesystem, i find that a lot of the space has been taken up on a blank filesystem (maybe reserved for journal) between ext3, reiserfs and xfs, which should i choose if i want the most space available to me [07:32] new2ubuntu -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [07:32] ganymede, do you use a ups? [07:33] hahaha sounds good [07:33] thank you very much [07:33] jim_p, are you going to suggest ext2, so i don't have to worry about the journal? [07:33] forensicwannabe: I can try i guess. does it matter if i uninstall ubuntu with the installer before i delete the partition or just go ahead and delete it with my xp restore? [07:33] ganymede: the differences are pretty small, is space really that much of a concern? [07:33] jim_p: heh, ok, yeah seems like it, it's a desktop so i guess i'll give wicd a try [07:34] jim_p: I have to agree that the 8.10 version of network manager is crap, but generally network manager is a lot better than wicd... [07:34] ganymede, no. if you do not use a ups, ext3 is the best choice. can i express reasons too? [07:34] jim_p: please, go ahead [07:34] xav_: you see your memu.lst file doesn't even know that windows is there. There is no entry for windows. That tells me that winows has something in the boot sector, and I mean the physical as opposed to the logical address of the boot segment on your computer that tells the computer not to let linux have access if you put it on another partition. [07:34] !lvm [07:34] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [07:34] oldmanstan, it's not that space is a large concern, it's just that features, and performance are much less of a concern [07:35] running ubuntu on eee laptop and eeebox and i must say it is absolutely awesome i think it should have been sold this way [07:35] How would I compile a file from source using checkinstall? I keep getting an error that says permission denied installation failed. Aborting package creation. [07:35] jim_p, i'm not too worried about data loss, i don't have anything very critical on it, it'll be a back up drive [07:35] forensicwannabe: i'd probably see what you meant more if i could see one configured correctly. [07:35] i have a space PC with one 80 GB[master] & another 40 GB HDD, i wish to dual boot it with Ubuntu & XP. Now i have made dual-boot systems many times where there is only 1 HDD, and it shows me as 'sda' so i just go with the flow and delete an un-used partiton that was under Windows, and install Ubuntu on it. But for this 2 HDD setup i am a bit confused how to do it. [07:35] correction -> *spare [07:35] ganymede: why not just try every file system and see which yields the best results? you're making extra work for yourself anyway, might as well make a bunch of extra work [07:36] :) [07:36] ganymede -- Invest in LVM if you're really concerned about spaces -- It allows you to configure / resize spaces on the live system. Otherwise you may have OCD if you can't decide how much space you can live without :3 [07:36] using sudo to install file [07:36] forensicwannabe: i'm going to delete the partition, ill be back in a bit. if you're not here thanks alot for your help [07:36] ganymede, ext3 is "bulletproof" compared to the other two when it comes to unclean shutdown. however its a bit slower, takes 5% of the partitions space for its needs, and chechs the partition once every 30 mounts, which can result to huge boot times if you have big partitions [07:36] xav_: it is necessary for ubuntu to take over the boot sector, or it cannot get access to your computer. | [07:36] ganymede, *unclean shutdown = power loss or something [07:36] xav_: actually to understand, you need to learn about how computers boot up. I'll get to your question now [07:37] forensicwannabe: i understand but i don't understand why it would fo straight to the partition and not windows on the live trial. [07:37] hi [07:37] how are u? xav [07:37] ganymede, the 5% usage can be lowered, so are the times to mount before scan [07:37] i need a litte hellp [07:37] hey can someone help me i need to install flash player i got firefox installed but flash player doesnt want to install for some reason keeps saying command not found to $ ./flashplayer-installer [07:37] someone help me 2 ? :D [07:37] xav_: just delet the partition, you don't need to unistall ubuntu or anything like that. Just use window restore disk to delete partition [07:37] $ tar xzvf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz [07:38] jim_p, thanks for the advice. white-sheep: i'll look into it. oldmanstan: yeah, maybe that would be best, since there doesn't seem to be an immediate answer. i'll try out a lot of the filesystems that ubuntu supports out of the box [07:38] nook, flashplayer is in the repos. if you dont like the repos flashplayer, like i do, use the .deb from adobe [07:38] i'll give it a shot, thanks again. [07:38] nook -- If you're new to Ubuntu -- I suppose you can install plugins from Firefox's Plugin Add. It'll install flash-nonfree (something like that). [07:38] xav_: understand this: since you put ubuntu in a partition, windows still has conrtol of the boot sector on your computer [07:38] xav did u know install java ?? [07:38] uff... i think my message got lost in the flow...do i post again? [07:38] foresicwannabe hello [07:38] ganymede, keep in mind that grub can only boot the kernel from ext3 (or ext2) [07:38] how are u? [07:39] xav_: windows is hostile to linux [07:39] jim_p, thanks, but i'm not booting from this drive [07:39] Is there a linux program that scans your HDD or works with SMART to display potential failures? [07:39] Again - i have a spare PC with one 80 GB[master] & another 40 GB HDD, i wish to dual boot it with Ubuntu & XP. Now i have made dual-boot systems many times where there is only 1 HDD, and it shows me as 'sda' so i just go with the flow and delete an un-used partiton that was under Windows, and install Ubuntu on it. But for this 2 HDD setup i am a bit confused how to do it. [07:39] xav_, Just install Ubuntu -- Windows is not worth all the hassles. Linux is. :3 [07:39] nook, in any case you have to do sudo sh flashplayer-installer [07:39] forensicwannabe: before the install i could not get the trial to load. it didnt even pick up the partition untill i formatted it [07:39] man to many people [07:40] francisco: If you have a question go ahead and ask. Anyone with the answer will chime in. [07:40] thanks riviting0n1 [07:40] i need instal java [07:40] can u help me? [07:40] xav_: that is strange. when you booted to the live disk, did it give you the option live cd?\ [07:40] sudo apt-get install java [07:41] in intrepid how can I adda custom keyboard layout placed in /etc/x11/xkb/symbols/test ? [07:41] yes, it looked as if it would load, then went to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in top left corner and would just stay like that. [07:41] are u riviting? [07:41] francisco: It took me a little getting used to this as well. When you ask your question ask it in 1 line so that people can read the whole thing without it getting broken up. [07:41] debasys, Just use the second HDD for storage -- You can install Windows + Ubuntu on one HDD. [07:41] I wonder if this chat room is strictly ubuntu. Is there a different chat room for kubuntu? [07:42] in l line? [07:42] Hey all, I've decided to format and reinstall, before I do I was wondering if anyone had anything they'd like tested and reported before I do so? [07:42] ok let me see [07:42] francisco: also, if you are talking to someone put there name and a colon, then type what you want to say. [07:42] forensicwannabe #kubuntu of course [07:42] hok [07:42] ok ok [07:42] forensicwannabe -- Try /j #kubuntu [07:42] thanks i see [07:43] white-sheep: ah really nice idea.... i think then i can use the second hdd for storage from both OSes if i format it to NTFS right? [07:43] Arlenlor: are you going to dban your drive? [07:43] debasys -- FAT32. [07:44] forensicwannabe: no, just reinstalling using a livecd is all [07:44] white-sheep: oh ...may i ask why, as i think ubuntu writes to ntfs as well [07:44] white-sheep: or is it fat-32 is better supported [07:45] debasys -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS [07:45] What does signal 6 mean? I keep getting this: "Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted." [07:45] can network manager scan for nearby wireless networks? [07:46] jim_p: yes. it does so automatically when you click on the applet [07:46] debasys NTFS works fine with Ubuntu, and is faster than FAT32, there IS a way to use EXT with Windows btw [07:46] balrog_: it means that some program (or you yourself) sent the signal 6 to the program asking it to shutdown (don't know exactly what 6 is though...) [07:46] balrog__: 6 is SIGABRT ... check man signal if you want more [07:47] thanks balrog__ [07:47] debasys: http://www.fs-driver.org/ check that and see if you'd rather use EXT with Windows or not [07:47] jim_p: np [07:47] ushimitsudoki, miranda_psi; thanks [07:48] Arenlor, I always dban before I reinstall. Are you familiar with Dban? Also, If I was you, I would use fluxubuntu, or install minimal ubuntu with the ubuntu light script, or even consider debian lenny. look at this website all to super secure your debian based distro, if you are into that: [07:48] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html [07:48] [07:48] forensicwannabe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:48] Arenlor: by EXT u mean ext3 right? [07:48] debasys: EXT2 or 3 [07:48] debasys: there is a free ext2 driver for windows (can be used on ext3 partitions as well, just dont get the journaling) and it seems to be good as well [07:48] how on earth do I execute an .exe file in Linux? [07:49] Until_It_Sleeps: try with wine [07:49] Until_It_Sleeps, Linux don't understand file extensions -- Use Wine. === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [07:49] Arenlor: i see... btw heard there is another new file system as welll... do i need that? [07:49] Where's that? [07:49] forensicwannabe I just get bored and format and reinstall every so often actually. [07:49] I need to find out if my hard drive is failing. Anyone know what utilities are available in linus to do this? [07:49] Until_it_Sleeps: install wine, go wine some.exe and start praying :) [07:49] Until_It_Sleeps: apt-get install wine [07:49] RichiH: what? [07:49] aptget? [07:50] Does ubuntu 7.04 have any unresolved flash issues? [07:50] Is that some sort of command that I run in Terminal? [07:50] TeslaTony, issues? like not having the latest player?? [07:50] hl; [07:50] Arenlor: my primary ubuntu use will be learning terminal, linux, running a local web server [LAMP] to test few pages that i code, and login to my webhost's server to do some stuff... so i think this ext3 is fine for me? [07:50] jim_p: That would kinda top the list, yeah... [07:50] Until_It_Sleeps, sudo apt-get install wine [07:51] Until_It_Sleeps: the "sudo apt-get install wine" is a command you run on the commandline [07:51] debasys: yes it is [07:51] TeslaTony, yes that is true. what are the others? [07:51] Until_it_sleeps: Do you kno whow to bring up terminal? Type into terminal the following sudo apt-get install wine [07:51] :), i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has nt installation candidate !!!! [07:51] Arenlor: are you into performance? it seems you might be judging by some of your responses. fluxubunt, or ubuntu light are just ubuntu based distros. you might like them. they use ubuntu repositories, you just get the basics and add what you want to it. [07:51] sudo: apt-get: command not found [07:51] Guys, wine is in add/remove [07:52] Arlenlor: that [07:52] jim_p: Dunno. That's what I wanted to find out. A friend is trying to get flash working on her system, and I want to know if we have to do a reinstall and/or upgrade to get it working [07:52] Arlenlor: that's what I'm going to do. some day, I might get into remastering ubuntu myself [07:52] forensicwannabe: I've tried grabbing the alternate and building up from there, it's a pain with upgrades though [07:52] TeslaTony, install flash from adobe.com [07:53] need help wit ubuntu on my mac [07:53] TeslaTony: friend ?? ;) [07:53] good point [07:53] anyone know the workings of the boot sequence [07:53] Arenlor: have you ever tried fluxubuntu [07:54] TeslaTony, you can download the latest flashplayer 10 from a .deb from adobe [07:54] TeslaTony, and remove the relevant flash package before installing [07:54] forensicwannabe: no I haven't, I've tried KDE and didn't really like it, I think I like GNOME myself [07:54] :), i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has no installation candidate !!!! [07:54] Arlenor: that should be a problem for you since you get bored and you like to reinstall from time to time [07:55] : rEFIt is a good start [07:55] So, when using the Panel System Monitor, my CPU's are set to 2.0GHz and 'on-demand'. How can I kick everything up to 3.0GHz? [07:55] Until_It_Sleeps: This is the website for wine. wine = windows emulator. http://www.winehq.org/ It has a lot of info. You can also go the the synaptec package manager and dearch for wine there. [07:55] forensicwannabe: KDE just felt too stiff for me [07:55] Arenlor: isn't KDE just kubuntu [07:55] Until_It_Sleeps: *Search [07:55] refriedbeansOSX: so i need that to boot ubuntu w/ the boot disk [07:55] forensicwannabe: KDE = K Desktop Environment, kubuntu does use it though [07:56] has flashplugin-nonfree been removed or do i need special repos? [07:56] sdflkj, for what version of ubuntu? [07:57] Arenlor: Oh right, I musunderstood.... anyways, if I'm not mistaken, KDE has a big footprint just like ubuntu and kubuntu [07:57] forensicwannabe: footprint? [07:58] forensicwannabe, memory footprint [07:58] any one no of a good program to stream webcam to http similar to webcamxp [07:58] Arenlor: you know: gnome desktop manager eats up all kinds of resources [07:58] How come my external 'My Book'(640gB) is 'read only' ? [07:59] forensicwannabe, have you tried lxde? [07:59] Stargazer, sounds like you need to install NTFS support. [07:59] ugh... I need to take the Linux class at my college... [07:59] Stargazer, it was not "safely removed" from a windows pc [07:59] Stargazer: Assuming your MyBook is NTFS formatted (Win XP) [07:59] Jim_p, i haven't started windows on this laptop... EVER. [07:59] forensicwannabe: yeah I know, but I want something which is stable since I play around, a lot, I'm on Jaunty right now actually, and I need to have something stable to fall back on if I break things [08:00] Until_It_Sleeps: Try not to get frustrated, or we'll both be lol. What are you having problems with? Toss one thing out at a time. [08:00] MK-Admin, Perhaps chmod + chown ? [08:00] Stargazer, ok. maybe it was on another pc [08:00] jim_p: is lxde ubuntu or debian based? btw memory, and cpu time eater: gdm [08:00] Jim_p... my external hard drive('My Book') has never touched another computer containing Windows. [08:00] :) , i get this message whe i try to install postfix-tls has nt installation candidate !!!! :( [08:01] Stargazer, "sudo fdisk -l" and see what it says it is [08:01] Stargazer: type 'mount' into the terminal and copy/paste the single line that contains your mybook please. [08:01] forensicwannabe, because i am in this "low memory madness too", lxde is a complete de based on openbox. it suggests gdm, but you can use xdm or slim [08:01] Can anyone help me through installing GSmartControl in ubuntu 8.04? [08:01] 1. I need to know how to run .exe files in Ubuntu. 2. I need a codec that can play WMA lossless audio files in that "Rhythmbox" player. [08:01] MK-Admin: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) [08:02] Until_It_Sleeps: 1: wine, 2: Have you tried VLC? [08:02] forensicwannabe, it was on debian as a third party repo, then it got to debians main repo, then in ubuntus [08:02] VLC Media Player? [08:02] saler, postfix comes with tls capability by default now [08:02] jim_p: The .deb is for 8.04+, not 7.04..looks like some other upgrading is in order [08:02] saler, No installation candidate found means just that, it doesn't exist anymore. [08:02] Until_It_Sleeps: Yes [08:02] Oh snap! :D [08:02] Until_It_Sleeps: ok we'll start with 1. Have you had any luck finding wine yet? [08:02] jim_p: Thanks for the help, though [08:02] Hold on a sec.... [08:02] Stargazer: Hm. Well the 'rw' in the beginning means it is read-writable. [08:02] Arenlor: you must have it on a dual boot. that's what I want to do, have ubuntu stable, and I think I'll install fluxubuntu on another partition to play with [08:03] Stargazer: How did you determine it s read-only? [08:03] TeslaTony, it works on every deb distro. however it needs a smallpackage to be installed beforehand. let me chack my laptop. i did the same yesterday [08:03] why is it that checking the intrepid-backports box in the Software Sources doesn't bring me OpenOffice 3? [08:03] MK-Admin... i now have 101gB of anime that's read only... as well as a number of anime folders that's locked up and so i can't add anything to them. [08:03] jim_p: lxde is in the ubuntu repos? [08:03] forensicwannabe: I dual boot Vista/Jaunty right now, but in the reinstall I'm getting rid of Vista, no longer need it. [08:03] TeslaTony, btw, it installed perfectly [08:03] MK-Admin, Transmission said 'Permission Denied.' [08:03] Arenlor, not quite, postfix-tls is a virtual package; postfix provides it [08:03] forensicwannabe, yes [08:04] from reading the description of backport it seemed to imply that things like FF3.1 and OO3 would come from it [08:04] TeslaTony, dont go, brb [08:04] Stargazer: It sounds like permissions, not read/write. Try creating a new text document on the drive. [08:04] forensics: i deleted the partition so now i only have the partition on which windows is installed and unpartitioned space. it still wont boot the live ubuntu trial. should i try to install ubuntu in the windows partition? [08:04] jim_p: is it necessary to get a lxde disk in order to install? [08:04] Stargazer: chown youruser:youruser -R /media/disk should fix your issue. [08:04] andresmh -- There are several tutorial on installing OO3 on latest Ubuntu. [08:05] andresmh -- I would know. I used one of them. ;o [08:05] Stargazer: Assuming that writing the text file to the disk works. [08:05] white-sheep, i know there are some tutorials :) i was just wondering what subscribing to backports would get me [08:05] guys any one use any good open soure document management system ? [08:05] i thought it would bring me the latest untested versions of the apps i have [08:05] empiric: OpenOffice Spreadsheet? [08:06] Would I put the location of the file I am making after this line? ./configure && make && sudo make install [08:06] andresmh, some; backports essentially scratches some dev's itch. [08:06] its not DMS [08:06] andresmh -- And why on earth would you want the untested versions? :3 [08:06] forensicwannabe, there is no lxde disk. if what you seek is minimal, do a server installation + xorg + lxde. debian has made a live cd of lxde if you want to try. want me to look it up? [08:06] well, i am willing to take the risk as some features are not working on my laptop, and i was hoping that they would on newer versions (webcam, mic, etc) [08:06] Arenlor: I have xp on a seperate partition, and I think I will replace it with one of the lighter distros [08:06] andresmh -- Add this to your sources list -- ## deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main ## deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main [08:06] RivitingOn1, no, that's all you'd want. the make install reads the Makefile and puts files in place [08:07] DMS which i have a web based like where i can assign read write rights to users and its its html based its good enough [08:07] andresmh -- Then do the (sudo aptitude update) -- It should update to OO3. [08:07] nickrud, are backports way too risky? [08:07] andresmh -- Assuming you know you're adding two lines to the list. [08:07] forensicwannabe: i deleted the partition so now i only have the partition on which windows is installed and unpartitioned space. it still wont boot the live ubuntu trial. should i try to install ubuntu in the windows partition? [08:07] andresmh, not really. I usually just enable it, install what I want, then disable [08:08] MK-Admin: "Operation not permitted" even with 'sudo' [08:08] andresmh, I also use some ppa's, but those are more iffy. Really depends on who's maintaining it [08:08] jim_p: yeah, I'd like to look at it. question: isn't ubuntu minimal the same as debian minimal?\ [08:08] Stargazer: what was the verdict on trying to write a file to it? [08:08] how do i install refit [08:09] mbdl, refit ? [08:09] forensicwannabe: no. packages with the same name may be compiled from slightly different sources [08:09] I am getting the same error as many others and the fix is apparently to "Just compile from source. ./configure && make && sudo make install (or run checkinstall)" I am not sure how to do that... [08:09] rEFIt [08:09] forensicwannabe, more or less its the same. minimal as in server install to get you to command line only. if you install the ubuntu-desktop package later, prepare for a big bloat [08:09] MK-Admin, i could write to any folder except the ones that contain my anime movie/files. [08:09] rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for Intel-based Macs. You can use it to boot multiple operating systems easily, including triple-boot setups with Boot Camp. It also provides an easy way to enter and explore the EFI pre-boot environment. [08:09] which ppa's are you using nickrud, just curious [08:09] forensicwannabe, excuse me a sec [08:09] Stargazer: Interesting. [08:09] are there ppa's for most popular apps nickrud? [08:09] forensicwannabe: and debian stable minimal is on older versions of ... everything [08:09] RivitingOn1 -- You have build-essential installed? [08:10] xav_: you don't need to run the live cd. just run the installation, and ubuntu will detect your windows os, and it will ask you if you want to repartition your drive, then you will tell it what percentage you want to give to ubuntu [08:10] white-sheep: no idea, how do I find out? [08:10] Stargazer: In terminal, navigate to the folder and type ls -la and copy a few lines, and then pastebin+link it [08:10] RivitingOn1, sudo aptitude search build-essential [08:10] if i have backport enabled does that mean i am getting almost the same things that will go on the next version of ubuntu? i just wish i didn't feel like i have to download the latest installation cd in a few months to know i have the latest [08:11] andresmh, they're for individual dev's or teams to push out test packages for stuff that's not readily available. And right now, no ppa's. I've used a couple for compiz stuff and fixes to wireless, but everythings ok for me right now [08:11] raylu: thanks [08:11] forensicwannabe: do i do that from when i boot or now when i have windows up? i'm 99% sure i wont be able to install from boot, itll give me the black screen and do nothing after that. [08:11] need help booting ubuntu from my macbook pro 4.1 ... i do not have mac installed... [08:12] forensicwannabe, well you can always install minimal installation +xorg + *box + some file manager + panel + configuring all those [08:12] andresmh, I' [08:12] andresmh: no. install jaunty if you want that [08:12] white-sheep: Yes I have it [08:12] xav_: you cant install from windows. it is necessary to install from cd boot option [08:12] ve been cut badly by bleeding edge; it's why I stick with stable stuff (and jaunty, I'm waiting till march or so) [08:12] raylu, what would be the difference between installing jaunty and keeping my intrepid up-to-date ? [08:12] andresmh: lots and lots of breakage [08:13] Is Jaunty 9.04? [08:13] !jaunty | andresmh [08:13] andresmh: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April -Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion [08:13] andresmh: jaunty makes no guarantees of stability [08:13] Thanks Nick [08:13] tell ly how to use compiz [08:13] andresmh: Jaunty is Beta. Beta is beta... That should answer your question, much like raylu's answer. [08:13] i'm waiting for kooky kangaroo [08:13] anyone there? [08:13] MK-Admin, i PMed you the link. [08:13] MK-Admin: jaunty is more like alpha [08:13] TeslaTony, the name of the package is libcurl3 [08:14] Sogod, lots of people :) [08:14] forensicwannabe: the install inside windows option will not work when i put in the disk and have windows running? if not, then i think i'm out of luck. i don't think i can install any other way. [08:14] i've been running ubuntu since bushy beaver [08:14] jim_p: a while back, I downloade ubuntu minimal, I think it was something like 8 or 9 megabites. I was surprised. is that the server install? [08:14] tell me how to install compiz and get it working [08:14] raylu: True. I use 'beta' because many people don't know what alpha represents. [08:14] raylu, ok, so if i keep my intrepid up-to-date, by the time jaunty is out of beta, should i feel like i have no need to install jaunty? or would there be something i would get from jaunty that otherwise i wouldn't get from apt-get update? [08:14] forensicwannabe: i think you're mistaken [08:14] Sogod, what version of ubuntu are you using, and what video card? [08:15] andresmh: There is no rush to upgrade all the time. Keep with official releases and your system should stay rock solid. [08:15] nickrud, how do you go about finding the URL of a PPA? like for example i want to find the PPA for intrepid for cheese, I googled it but nothing useful comes up... [08:15] forensicwannabe, that is the minimum files needed to boot the system. the rest are provided either online or from some local network pc [08:15] andresmh: if you're asking about differences between ubuntu releases, i'd check the release notes for 8.10 and a few others if you want [08:15] white-sheep: I have build-essential. Do I use that to compile from source? [08:15] xav_: do you know how to set the bios to boot to cd? [08:15] nickrud,i use 8.04 desktop& nvidia 8400gs [08:15] white-sheep: how do i install if i dont have macosx installed [08:15] andresmh, when jaunty comes out, you'll be offered a chance to upgrade to jaunty during an update-manager run [08:16] jim_p: oh, okay so the server minimal has a host of other stuff: like for example: server apps [08:16] nickrud,there? [08:16] Sogod, system->admin->hardware drivers, enable nvidia. Reboot. then system->prefs->appearances->effects tab, enable one of the options. Then sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and you'll have a new pref, advanced desktop settings [08:17] forensicwannabe: yeah it boots from disk. i know how that works. it loads up the ubuntu screen and gives me the option of running the live disk, installing, or booting from hdd. When i try to run the live disc or install it gives me a blank screen and does no more. Which is why i have been trying to install through windows. [08:17] forensicwannabe: but those are installable on the desktop version anyway. the biggest difference besides the lack of a gui is a different kernel [08:17] Question: is there a GIMP chatroom? [08:17] RivitingOn1, What are you trying to configure? There could be a deb out there for you to use. [08:17] I Installed 8.10 tonight. And when I ran it for the first time some fat guy named Steve burst into my apartment and started throwing chairs at me. [08:17] DwightShroot: #gimp ? [08:17] andresmh, I've usually found references to them in bug reports ;) [08:17] mbdl -- What are you talking about? [08:17] refit [08:17] forensicwannabe, minimal for me means command line + a working kernel + some needed apps like apt or wget. something to get things started [08:17] DwightShroot: http://www.gimp.org/irc.html [08:17] DwightShroot: <3 google [08:17] white-sheep: refit [08:18] forensicwannabe, and thats what server installation is without specific stuff like ftp server or samba or the like [08:18] xav_: you need to get the alternate cd [08:18] mbdl -- That's for Macs -- Try Mac channel. [08:18] andresmh, I didn't see your problem, why you want a ppa: is it for your webcam? [08:18] white-sheep: what is the channel [08:18] forensicwannabe: which alternate? this disc works fine on a different pc. [08:18] Question: My browser closes when i open pandora radio, or try to view videos, i have just recently installed update, how could this be resolved === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever [08:19] mbdl -- Try #mac [08:19] jim_p: yeah....command line + a working kernel + apt and/or wget..... much like gentoo [08:19] DwightShroot: consider reinstalling flash or moving your .mozilla folder [08:20] DwightShroot: i won't be able to help you since i'm leaving [08:20] ok [08:20] Enter text here...cAN anyone help me I having trouble with my wireless internet OS Ubunto === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [08:20] White-sheep: There is a deb. I am trying to install GSmartControl so I can see if I have a problem with my hard drive as someone suggested earlier after looking at my system log for me. The problem is that the .deb is apparently for 8.10 so it gives an error "dependency is not satisfiable: Libcairomm-1.0-1" The fix is apparently to compile it from source but I don't know what that is or how to do it. [08:20] can you tell me where i should move it to [08:20] xav_: you need to go to ubuntu.com > get ubuntu > download, and download the alternate cd. [08:20] !wifi | dima6 [08:20] dima6: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:20] DwightShroot: anywhere. it's just to back it up [08:20] forensicwannabe, have you seen how an archlinux installation looks? that thing, without the packages needed for compiling and the like [08:21] thanks [08:21] cya [08:21] RivitingOn1 -- What Ubuntu are you using [08:21] 8.04 [08:21] MK-Admin_, test [08:21] jim_p: that's the way I like it. I want to put what I want on my box, I don't want a bunch of stuff I'm not going to use [08:21] DwightShroot: message sent [08:22] RivitingOn1, compiling it won't work, because the packaging system still won't see you've installed that version of libcairomm [08:22] forensicwannabe, me too [08:22] MK-Admin_, test [08:22] 8.03 [08:22] RivitingOn1, This ? n see if I have a problem with my hard drive as someone suggested earlier after looking at my system log for me.

Can't find any xchat plugins to play sounds on new messages [08:23] forensicwannabe: should i get "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop" or do i need a 64bit version instead of 32. my cpu is 64bit but i'm just running 32bit windows? which one is the alternate? [08:23] hello... anyone can recommend me a good media player on ubuntu? === Juliiiie is now known as antoine[maison] [08:23] MPlayer [08:23] xav_, Go for the 64ish. [08:23] Dantexdv0, vlc is my fave [08:24] Dantexdv0, rhythmbox, banshee, amarok [08:24] forensicwannabe, no. archlinux is like minimal install to command line. and you install your stuff later on [08:24] Dantexdv0, those are music players [08:24] forensicwannabe, it even has kde4, and not 3! [08:24] VLC or MPlayer [08:24] xav_, And Ubuntu 8.10. You won't get lot of updates on 8.04 as you would on 8.10 [08:24] Kaze_: I prefer Mplayer - seems to work better for me [08:24] yeah i used vlc but i got problems with subtitles and mplayer gives me video problems === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever [08:25] Same here. [08:25] white-sheep: i already have 8.1, forensics said i needed an alternate [08:25] Dantexdv0, Try GNOME-MPlayer. I liked it but there are some issues with it for me. I jumped ships... back to VLC. [08:25] Not really sure what that is. I haven't built anything yet because I can't figure out the syntax or commands on how to do it. Nickrud says it won't help anyway. I just need to find out if my HDD is failing or not. Any suggestions on what else I can use? [08:25] Dantexdv0 & Kaze: never had any problems with Mplayer - plenty with vlc though... [08:25] what video problems are you having? [08:25] there's 3 ok media players imho, mplayer, vlc and xine [08:25] try xine [08:26] there is also gstreamer [08:26] xav_, alternate means a text installer; completes installation on a wider variety of machines. Look at release.ubuntu.com/8.10 , they mention the alternate clearly [08:26] well it didn't make it into my list as an ok media player =) [08:26] (standard video player in ubuntu) [08:26] xav_: 32 bit is probably better for you. Some stuff is not supported in 64 bit and you could probably handle it, but it might be time consuming, so if you are now starting with linux, then it might be better to stick with 32 bit [08:26] poor image.. on vlc the movie looks ok but in mplayer it gets kinda pixelated [08:26] miranda_psi: gstreamer is a media libary [08:26] You mean totem? It doesn't support many types. [08:26] miranda_psi: what your looking for is totem [08:27] RivitingOn1, smartmontools (no gui, but the same guts) [08:27] jim_p: isn't that what I said? anyways, sounds a lot like gentoo [08:27] gaminggeek: I know and so is xine, but they both are what is used to decode media files... [08:27] RivitingOn1, Apparently there are PPA for it. Add two lines to your sources.list and update. Then install gmartcontrol [08:27] there are also other front ends to gstreamer as well [08:27] Amarok is an excellent music player. [08:27] xav_: have you been watching what me and jim_p and Arenlor were talking about? [08:28] totem can also be a front end for xine as well [08:28] forensicwannabe, why do i think that gentoo also need the compilation of the kernel, the package manager etc?

[08:35] forensicwannabe, some more specs for the pc? and i owe you an lxde live cd :P [08:35] yeah - its the same as from the menu... [08:35] wsgorson: have you tried clicking on detect displays? [08:36] ransom -- http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [08:36] ransom -- #ubuntu-berlin :) [08:36] miranda_psi all it offers if the 640x480. nothing higher [08:36] Dantexdv0: if its Mplayer or vlc, there are no plugins (well there are for mplayer (external codecs) but the only use i know for them is for real media files..) [08:36] !de | ransom [08:36] ransom: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, und #edubuntu-de [08:37] white-sheep danke! ;-) [08:37] ransom -- You probably want #ubuntu-de [08:37] forensicwannabe, http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_live_beta2/i386/iso-cd/debian-live-lenny-i386-lxde-desktop.iso [08:37] forensicwannabe, there is also 64bit one [08:37] umm well.. thanx for the help.. i'll guess i'll just keep trying to make it work (both vlc and mplayer) [08:38] jim_p: I'll have to ask xav for the specs again, and I also wanted to ask if arch linux is debian based? [08:38] wsgordon__: try using nvidia-xconfig to reset the xorg config file (back it up first /etc/Xll/xorg.conf) [08:38] forensicwannabe, note that the cd is only live cd, NOT installable [08:38] marinda_psi k [08:38] forensicwannabe, archlinux is slackware based and it has pacman as a package manager [08:38] hi... my X server crashes randomly every now and then. it basically logs me out of the Xsession and brings me back to the login window manager.. how do i fix it [08:38] jim_p: this conversation started with me suggesting debian lenny to Arenlor. [08:39] Dantexdv0: is there a file online that I can download that causes the problem? you can also try downloading the latest svn copy of mplayer and trying that (thats what im using) [08:39] amitprakash, Are you happening to hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE when this happens? [08:39] forensicwannabe, what was the reason to suggest this? [08:39] marinda_psi wont run [08:39] MK-Admin_, no lol [08:39] Hi, is there a networking expert here who can tell me how i can bridge my wifi and ethernet connection the same way xp would bridge them (by selecting the 2 adapters > right-click > select bridge)??? please?? [08:39] amitprakash, Heh had to ask! [08:39] wsgordon: what happens? [08:39] I was thinking about using it because of it's securability.....that's another thing I like. I'm gonna bookmark that page [08:39] amitprakash, Start off by looking at the logfiles to see what caused the crash. /var/log/syslog [08:39] marinda_psi bunch of errors and ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. [08:40] wsgordon_, Executing as sudo [08:40] wsgordon_, Executing as sudo? [08:40] wsgordon__: put a sudo in front of it... [08:40] MK-Admin_, i looked at /var/log/xorg.0.log but it looks fine http://pastebin.com/m2666822b [08:40] forensicwannabe, all linux distros can become secure. dont get me started about debians ups and downs please [08:40] Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' [08:40] New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' === jan is now known as test1234 === test1234 is now known as test12351 [08:41] jim_p: suggest what? and slackware is another distro that I have been interested in along with backtrack [08:41] and discussions of relative distro merits don't really belong on the ubuntu support channel, anyway [08:41] wsgordon: now try resetting the xserver and see if its working... [08:41] amitprakash, Pastebin your syslog too for the same time. [08:41] MK-Admin_, ah ok [08:41] forensicwannabe, arch linux is the one to try [08:41] how ? [08:41] i don't know.. im just playing some .avi .. new at linux.. where can i download the latest version? cause i already tried to upgrade from the terminal both programs and it said i got the latest version available [08:41] forensicwannabe, what was the reason for you to suggest debian lenny to that guy? [08:41] wsgordon: if that doesn't work try running the nvidia-settings again and see if anything bthere has changed... [08:42] how \do i rest the x server [08:42] ctrl alt backspace wsgordon_ [08:42] jim_p: yeah all linux are securable, but I know that lenny fascilitates the process [08:42] amitprakash: Would you mind taking a look at mine? http://paste.ubuntu.com/96644/ also http://paste.ubuntu.com/96696/ [08:42] jim_p, forensicwannabe if you want to discuss other distros, I suggest (strongly) #ubuntu-offtopic [08:42] Dantexdv0: go to http://mplayerhq.hu/ and also run sudo apt-get install svn [08:42] forensicwannabe, oh ok, cant argue that [08:43] how dangerous is it to run on an underrated psu? [08:43] be sure to check out this website: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html [08:43] console said couldn't get package svn [08:43] Dantexdv0, subversion is the package name [08:43] Dantexdv0: then once you have the svn copy just go into the directory and do the following: [08:43] ./configure [08:43] make [08:43] sudo make install [08:43] miranda_psi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:43] miranda_psi no luck same thing [08:44] forensicwannabe, you can pm me if you want, but i wont be here for long [08:44] wsgordon: nvidia-settings still not showing higher resolutions? [08:44] marinda_psi nope [08:44] an i cans spell ;) [08:45] I'm downloading lenny now. how big is it. [08:45] miranda_psi can i manualy edit the xorg file [08:45] wsgordon: all i cna suggest then is that you do some googling on how to edit the xorg.conf file to manually specify resolutions... [08:45] jim_p: yeah, I gotta go too. I'm downloading lenny live right now. how big is it? [08:46] !envy | wsgordon [08:46] wsgordon: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [08:46] where xorg.config located [08:46] forensicwannabe, 450Mb more or less [08:46] forensicwannabe: this channel is for Ubuntu technical support only.

[08:47] forensicwannabe, last warning [08:48] nickrud just kidding. this all started with ubuntu, and it was just a tangent [08:48] forensicwannabe, I know. And I tried to head it off nicely. Bite me is unacceptable [08:49] it's cool, I'm really just come here to help newbies [08:49] cool :) [08:50] is it possible to share a internet connection wirelessly between two laptops? [08:50] Would anyone mind taking a look at these logs? http://paste.ubuntu.com/96644/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/96696/ I'm not really sure what I am looking for but I have been trying to figure out what is causing my system to freeze randomly. [08:50] paranoid: yes it is [08:50] !ics | paranoid_ndroid [08:50] forensicwannabe, how can I do it? [08:50] paranoid_ndroid: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [08:50] paranoid_ndroid, As long as the internet connection comes from a different NIC, i.e. wired. [08:51] I'm using vbox and the transfer speed over USB seems very slow -- anyway to fix this? [08:51] I have usb 2.0 controller enabled in settings [08:51] and guest additions installed === SpeedI_ is now known as SpeedI [08:52] paranoid: I don't know how, but I could figure it out. I just don't have time, it's getting late. but let me suggest that you google: share internet connection laptop [08:52] forensicwannabe, that's what I'm doing. sorry, and thanks [08:52] paranoid: get creative with you search, and continue asking here. you'll find a way [08:52] paranoid_ndroid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [08:53] thank you all [08:53] there it is [08:53] RivitingOn1, the X log looks ok, it doesn't look like pulseaudio is causing the freeze; I'd suggest booting up the memtest and letting it run overnight. All my freezes have been memory related [08:57] anyone know why ubuntu says my hdd is full when there is more then 200GBs free?? [08:58] yoyit2 -- Full HDD installation? [08:58] yoyit2, pastebin df -h [08:58] yoyit2: run "df -H" in a terminal and copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link in here. That command lists all the active storage spaces on your computer, so we can see if one of them got full somehow. [08:59] yoyit2: probably hasn't updated it's resources yet [09:00] rww: jinx [09:00] Heh. [09:01] anyone know if it'll kill anything if I run one of the low footprint athlon64 x2's with an 8800gts, 2x 1g ddr2, and a single sata 7200rpm disk on 350w? [09:01] malianx, If you can get it to boot I think you'll be fine. [09:01] nickrud: Ok, I'll try it. I have run the memetest for about 6 passes. Would that have shown an issue or can it take more? Also, is there a program that can test a video card? I had one when I was using windows but haven't come across one on linux. [09:02] MK-Admin_, yeah? That was the thought I was having, but with psu's these days... I'm wary. [09:02] RivitingOn1: a good rule of thumb on memtest86 is "overnight" [09:02] MK-Admin_, you don't think it'd be risky to try? [09:02] malianx, Electronically speaking it is worse to have a lower voltage than a higher voltage. [09:02] RivitingOn1, not for vid cards that I remember. And one error didn't show till nearly the entire suite of tests had run. That takes hours. [09:03] malianx: http://www.journeysystems.com/power_supply_calculator_popup.php [09:03] malianx, Do you plan on taxing the vid card? [09:03] MK-Admin_, fallout 3 [09:03] is rww a real person or a bot thingy? [09:03] malianx, Yeah... get a new PSU. === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement [09:04] RivitingOn1, rww is very real, just like Pamela Anderson's puppies. [09:04] yoyit2: also run: sudo find -size +15000000 when your computer sees that there are no 15 gig files on your hard disk, it's gonna realize that the space is free. something lied to your computer, and when you show it the truth, it will wake up. if +15000000 doesn't work, then try a bigger file, like +30000000 [09:04] malianx: just put the closest values into that calculator, and it will let you know where you stand as far as a minimum supply [09:04] evowill, MK-Admin_ thanks [09:05] Hi, I used EBox to access and add a domain. Now I can't find the data file for that domain. Where could it have cone? [09:05] malianx, good luck. [09:05] ls [09:05] rww: k it says /dev/sda1 has 222GBs ..which i did have of movies, but i deleted them and they are no longer on my computer [09:05] white-sheep: rofl! ok, well thanks all for your help. I am off to play with my new boot cd and find all the doom that is about to befall me. Have a good night all! [09:05] yoyit2, Empty your trash. [09:06] yoyit2, Recovering your porn stash eh? [09:06] yoyit2, are you sure they aren't in the trash? [09:06] Couldn't help it. sry. [09:06] hi all [09:06] <[e]Lement> MK-Admin_, I was thinking the same. Ahahah! [09:06] lol [09:06] >:) [09:06] evowill: yup.. checked that, and no its NOT porn lol [09:07] yoyit2 -- Removing 222 GB of porn stash. You're coming clean. I'm *very* impressed with you. :3 [09:07] yoyit2: Hmm. How did you delete them? rm at the command line? From the GNOME file manager? [09:07] who does use winwrap for animated desktop? i followed a guide but it doesnt work...screensaver goes above the desktop and not beyond...who can help me? [09:07] ok, the link again to reset the xorg.config file, at least now i have 800x600. [09:07] yoyit2: Applications>Accessories>Disk Usage Anal [09:07] white-sheep: haha.. no just a TON of .mp4 convrted dvds [09:07] oops [09:07] analyizer [09:08] yoyit2: after you empty you porn....I mean trash, if your computer still doesn't see the free space, run the command I gave you: sudo find -size +15000000 [09:08] rww: just selected all of them, and hit delete [09:08] yoyit2, Face it, everyone knows. The sooner you admit it, the sooner we can help you. [09:08] rww: then it said no room in trash, and it deleted it all [09:08] MK-Admin_: Mine was CERTAINLY all porn. [09:09] MK-Admin_: im not dumb enough to download it.. [09:09] okay, guys, enough with the porn jokes :P [09:09] rww, One more... [09:09] MoLoot, No horse porn. [09:09] done. [09:10] I'll come clean with you guys -- Apparently I have a 8.2G worth of porn collection. [09:10] Anywho, does Ubuntu dislike sending large files to the trash and in lieu of that skips the trash?

What's the output of "du -h ~/.local/share/Trash/"? That command lists how much disk space the GNOME Trash-related directories are taking up. If they somehow ended up in there anyway, that might explain it. [09:11] <[e]Lement> MK-Admin_, you could always run an e2fsk check on your disk... [09:11] I do have some porn that doesn't play well on my ubuntu machine, for example, mplayer won't let me fast forward to the good parts, how do I fix this? [09:11] [e]Lement, that should be directed @ yoyit2 I think. [09:12] <[e]Lement> Yes it should [09:12] <[e]Lement> Ahaha [09:12] hello i installed kubuntu bye unebootin and now i i have intrepid with kde 4.1 .... hows that possible?

The current version of Kubuntu is Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, which includes KDE 4.1... what did you expect to get? [09:13] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE [09:13] <[e]Lement> yoyit2, personally I would keep Vista around for a few things. [09:13] yoggidm, Bring up Terminal.

[09:14] yoyit2 -- I have VirtualBox with Windows Server 2003 on it. >_> [09:15] If you don't play games you don't need a true dual-boot imho. [09:15] white-sheep: yeah i use it for my ipod touch.. and now im TRYING to jailbreak it, when my hdd said it was full [09:15] <[e]Lement> Well I run a Pentium 4, still.

I had that issue... [09:17] MK-Admin_, oh u answered my question... yeah ofcourse it is.. [09:17] nbeebo, ATI or NVidia?

That install process made an 8GB file on your Vista partition and used it to store Ubuntu, so that you didn't have to repartition. Unfortunately, one of the quirks of Wubi is that if its storage file gets full, it doesn't expand it to fill available space on the Vista partition. So, your Ubuntu storage area is still 8GB. It's now full. Deleting stuff from /host didn't do anything, because /host is your Vista partition, n [09:28] ot Ubuntu's "loopback" storage file. [09:28] Which is better FTP of NFS, I guess I have both options to work out, is there advantage one over another? [09:28] hello all of you [09:28] any know how to configure mysqld? [09:29] yoyit2: So, solution time. Easy solution: move stuff to /host/. Somewhat harder solution: make a new loopback file and move /home/ or some other large folder to it. Even harder solution (last time I checked, anyway): resize your Ubuntu loopback file. [09:29] new2ubuntu, depends what you want to do, but this isn't the place to ask. [09:29] yoyit2: Best long-term solution: back up your files and reinstall Ubuntu from a CD and stop using Wubi. [09:29] <[e]Lement> rww, well said. =) [09:29] MK-Admin_, Very nice. Where on the earth did you retrieve Hamster from? [09:30] white-sheep, sudo apt-cache search track [09:30] <[e]Lement> white-sheep, synaptic package mananer [09:30] rww: friggin sucks.. how do i resiz the loopback? [09:30] <[e]Lement> manager*** [09:30] [e]Lement, <-- old school too [09:30] <[e]Lement> So am I, I am trying to make it easier for them. Haha. I use commandline more than GTK Apps. [09:30] They should learn the ways of the force. [09:31] MK-Admin_: why are you on this server?? all you talk about is Porn, Games, and Starwars???? [09:31] <[e]Lement> Would that make Linus Torvalds Darth Vader? [09:31] Hey chaps, just done a fresh install on a maters puter, everything working fine except for xine. Xine is looking for /dev/dvd, but the device is at scd0. A symbolic link in /dev sorts the problem but does not persist after a restart (/dev created on the fly presumably, I'm new to ubuntu, not linux). Any help [09:31] yoyit2, ...Why should I *not* be on this server? [09:31] <[e]Lement> yoyit2, you must not know about freenode...ahaha [09:32] [e]Lement, We all know Linus is the Dark Sith Lord. [09:32] yoyit2: give me a sec to figure out the resizing thing :) [09:32] rww k thz [09:32] rww: *thx [09:32] [e]Lement: what?? [09:33] <[e]Lement> yoyit2, nevermind. [09:33] white-sheep, Not sure if that's the right tracker one honestly. [09:33] MK-Admin_: he is got to be shittin me.. doesn't know sith??? [09:33] Squawk: if that's the way you'd like to solve it, you could always put something like... "ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd" in /etc/rc.local [09:33] MK-Admin_, It is -- But I ran the search -- It didn't find the said package. [09:34] my usb ports dont work in linux on this compaq [09:34] Squawk: Then again.. I'm sure it's configurable in Xine [09:34] freenode is where script-kiddies, hackers, crackers and P2P folks come for down time.... :P [09:34] <[e]Lement> white-sheep, hamster-applet [09:34] hateball, actually I figure it has to be configurable in xine, just not figured it out yet and was kinda hoping someone might know off hand [09:34] Squark: go into the xine player, goto settings and go to the media tab - you can set the location of the dvd drive there [09:34] <[e]Lement> !freenode [09:34] freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [09:34] white-sheep, Probably have to uncomment the sources in apt [09:34] <[e]Lement> I prefer Grassputin's better [09:34] yoyit2: do you still have Windows installed, or did you remove it? [09:34] [e]Lement, I know. I installed and the package is correct. However, what puzzled me is that how did you find the package when I (I think) didn't find anything about Hamster. [09:35] white-sheep, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment 'em [09:35] MK-Admin_, The package is installed. I restarted the Gnome. It's there. But where did you came up with the package 'hamster' [09:35] <[e]Lement> we just know.... [09:35] Lulz.... :o [09:35] <[e]Lement> We didn't come up with it...he just knew the answer. [09:35] miranda_psi, hateball, for reference (in case anyone else asks) the problem is that the xine settings UI defaults to "beginner" and the ability to set the device is hidden. Have to change the user level to be able to get at it. Thanks [09:36] just found it [09:36] white-sheep, I searched the apt package manager cache [09:36] white-sheep, Hamster is not the right item. Instal gtimer. [09:36] !irc [09:36] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:37] how do I tell if a package is allready installed with apt-get [09:37] !guidelines [09:37] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:37] or -cache etc [09:37] sabgenton2, It will say it is already installed if you do apt-get install foo [09:37] !fishing > huwenfeng [09:37] huwenfeng, please see my private message [09:37] sabgenton2: look in synaptic [09:37] don't need to [09:38] rww: i removed it.. but i have xp on a virtual box [09:38] it's not if you need to, it's if you want to [09:38] you can use pidginas a irc client iam using one now [09:39] rww: yes, i need help. how can i join #freebsd channel. [09:39] Resorting back to hamster-applet. gtimer != decent. [09:39] huwenfeng: try /join #freebsd [09:40] huwenfeng: you need to be registered with freebsd to use that channel.. [09:40] huwenfeng, type /join #freebsd [09:40] or just double click on this: #freebsd [09:40] yes, but it said that i needed to be registered [09:41] yoyit2: okay. Do you have an Ubuntu CD? [09:41] MK-Admin_: miranda_psi: huwenfeng: you need to be registered to join freebsd [09:41] <[e]Lement> type /join ##freebsd [09:41] MK-Admin_: what if it a newer version will it alert me there is an older version? [09:41] !register > huwenfeng [09:41] huwenfeng, please see my private message [09:41] hi.. i notice in my syslog that my X server crashes randomly with the message Dec 31 08:15:39 computer gdm[5644]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [09:41] rww: yeah i do [09:42] Brb. Gotta put down the wolf first. >_> [09:42] or does it at least look obvious [09:43] sabgenton2: apt-get always gives you the latest version, unless the latest version is not in the ubuntu ropos. Then you have to find the deb file for the latest version [09:43] apt-get will not tell you if there is a later version [09:44]
