[00:00] Ratso, I have the WUBI installed cause I thought it was helping the distribution and making it easier for peoples to get a stable Linux thingy. [00:00] is the 'safe graphics mode' in the ubuntu install cd the equivalent to a non-graphical install? [00:00] Jordan_U, oh, i thought i had to unpack the iso and then copy it to the usb stick [00:00] PSPdemon: Remove compiz [00:00] i've space partition setup. When my memory req are huge , the firefox and other apps becomes slow because of swapping. Later when memory is freed ie (i can see from free -m ) i don't find the applications being moved from swap to memory. This makes many apps slow. How to fix it ? [00:00] if i do manually swapoff /dev/sda it works [00:00] niklaus: I don't think that can be done [00:01] Jordan_U, is it possible to just copy the iso file in to the usb, and then stick it in to my laptop and reboot? ofcourse i set the boot setup to start usb sticks first [00:01] Flare183: apparently the bcm43xx is considered depreciated because it should be packaged with 8.04 onward..... [00:01] Flare183, it is pretty stupid :( === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [00:01] swapping kills my apps [00:01] Iderik, You do* but you don't unpack the squashfs *You can also just use the Flash Drive installer on the LiveCD [00:01] makes it very slow [00:01] niklaus: Actually its not, its because of your hard drive speed that makes the "swapping" slow [00:01] storrgie: Thats because you have to use b43 [00:02] Flare183, how would i do that if i cant get any farther than login window [00:02] btw im using my old xorg.conf file [00:02] heh [00:02] if i wanted to reinstall Ubuntu and i have two hard drives in my computer... One for windows C: drive and the other Ubuntu E: drive .. would i boot into C or E to install [00:02] storrgie: I know because I'm using a Broadcom Wireless Card [00:02] Flare183: im confused... [00:02] why can't it move apps back to memory when there is free memory ? [00:02] PSPdemon: You can't [00:02] Jordan_U, wait a minute, thsi is totally new to me, and you're using a lot of hard words for me to understand, my english ain't the greatest too, sorry :-) [00:02] storrgie: Its hard to explain [00:02] i just got my b43 firmware to work on 8.10 [00:02] how does sabayon do 3d effects on the cd? [00:02] PSPdemon: Then can you explain to storrgie how you did that? [00:03] seek_therapy: you would boot from the cd... [00:03] !otheros [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about otheros [00:03] Flare183: well, i can read about it but I would like to get this to start pulling updates... is there a quick way to get started [00:03] oops [00:03] :P [00:03] uh... [00:03] joejc: try #sabayon [00:03] seek_therapy: I did it on two drives a while back, one was XP, one was 2k, I put the Ubuntu on the 2k HDD [00:03] but my next question is how o i use that on ubuntu [00:03] is there some way i can download a minimal text based install cd and install the components from a graphical install cd? [00:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6028741&postcount=4 [00:03] thats what i used [00:03] for a offline installation [00:04] worked great for me :) [00:04] PSPdemon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:04] O_O [00:04] If I want to permanently switch from ubuntu to xubuntu do I install the XFCE meta package and uninstall the ubuntu-desktop meta package? [00:04] how can i change what my internet is using for wireless? i have a pci card and a usb adapter and i want to use the usb [00:04] I know that but would i install the grub onto the C drive [00:04] Iderik, The important thing to know is that you don't need to manually install to a flash drive, there are utilities to do it automatically for windows and there is even one available from the system menu when you are booted from the liveCD. You don't need to know this but you don't "unpack" the part of the CD that is actually compressed, which is called the squashfs [00:04] william56: Not really [00:05] because if i do this wrong i will get a grub error [00:05] !alternate | william56 (Try this) [00:05] william56 (Try this): The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:05] seek_therapy: They both have boot.ini''s should work fine, I know mine did. [00:06] does anyone know if nvidia 8800Gt's are supported fully now? [00:06] Hello?

[00:52] ok [00:52] Jordan_U, i still can't get it working, i did as you said. it works to open the installer when i'm in windows, but it won't boot in BIOS (in the beginning, before xp starts) [00:53] Is it possible to re-run migration assistant?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:59] jigpe: package names don't have capitalization === phoenix__ is now known as newbie [00:59] hello there [00:59] jigpe: yep, he's right, it's lowercase [00:59] if someone has an external disply that he uses fn+ a key to turn on, how will he do this in ubuntu? [00:59] I got a Thinkpad T60 Laptop and I use a external display monitor using VGA (tft). In windows I switch between the displays using FN + Another key to get a menu up which display to use. Will it be hard to get my tft to work in ubuntu with my laptop? [01:00] is there a wine irc? [01:00] how do I freely position an image without the text moving, i asked in the open office channel but got no reply, does anyone here know how? [01:00] DanielEads :I found one in synaptic :) [01:00] jigpe: great! :) [01:00] DanielEads tritium : downloading it now thanks :) [01:00] joejc: http://www.winehq.org/irc [01:01] Jason_WT: System>Preferences>Screen Resolution has configuration options for multiple monitors in Ubuntu 8.10 [01:01] joejc, /join #winehq [01:01] jigpe: good deal [01:01] hi all. i have just installed open ssh server using the sudo apt-get install openssh-server command [01:02] hey, i noticed that most applications install themselves to subdirectories of my home directory, but this makes a mess of my home directory :( is this normal? is there some better place to install them? [01:02] hi [01:02] Crayboff, How did you change the timeout? [01:02] cuulu: System>Preferences>Screen Resolution has configuration options for multiple monitors in Ubuntu 8.10, you could try it with a live CD [01:02] how do i get quicktime to work in firefox? [01:02] i lost my original gnome menubar is there a way to restore it ? [01:02] or which packages do i need? [01:02] i was then told to use /ext/init.d/ssh start command but i get and error that says cannot load host key /stc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key [01:03] sketch_: right click and add a new panel [01:03] mrpinky, That's not the application itself but rather its configuration files, and yes it's normal [01:03] jordan_U, i unchecked it. I figured that it would mean that there was no timeout and would stay in the boot screen until i chose an os [01:03] and also cannot load host key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [01:03] can anyone help [01:03] thanks i did that but i dont like the layout [01:03] JonnyDY2J: try running sudo [01:03] Jordan_U, i found that a lot of applications install themselves there too :( like $HOME/ApplicationName/bin doc etc.... [01:03] mrpinky: that's normal, as it separates your application data from the actual system files. the folders are usually named something like .application, and the dot before them allows the system to hide them from your normal view so they don't clutter things up [01:03] oh ok i can move them nice [01:03] Jordan_U, or more specifically, where should i install application binaries, docs etc? [01:03] sketch_: right click on it and press move then [01:04] Crayboff, Unchecked it where? [01:04] miLK: what do you mean by try running sudo? [01:04] mrpinky, How are you installing applications? You should be using the package manager [01:04] JonnyDY2J: how are you running the application? [01:04] JonnyDY2J: or what is the name of the app you're running. [01:05] in vista, in like system and maitenence > advanced settings or soemthing like that [01:05] jordan_u: in vista, in like system and maitenence > advanced settings or soemthing like that [01:05] Jordan_U, in this case they are apps not available through the repositories, so i installed them from binaries i downloaded [01:05] hello? anyone in here? [01:05] jordan_u: it's where I changed the default operating system [01:05] hi there [01:05] Jordan_U, each app seems to come with its own installer where i can choose the install location, seem home directory is default, but there must be some better place for it [01:06] so i need some help guys. [01:06] ok, go [01:06] btw, i don't know that much about linux [01:06] but i can try to help [01:06] bear7809: just ask, there's lots going on [01:06] I have a program that I need run for each user(non root) but it needs root privileges to run how do I go about doing this? [01:06] no se [01:07] I just installed ubuntu on this compy. I think its having a problem with my ATI AIW card. because at my parents house i have an Nvidia card and it works just fine. Basically When i get to the splash screen the monitor receives no signal. [01:07] hmm [01:07] bear7809: yeah, that's an issue. do you know the exact model of the graphics card? [01:07] hey, i have a friend wants to try ubuntu. I've been converted for 2 years now and only used Livecds. i've found wubi.exe is that the same thing or what? [01:07] everyone join Revolution TT and join the IRC channel (over 5000 people on the channel), if your on when the peak amoun tof users is recorded you win 30gb upload credits http://www.revolutiontt.net/ [01:07] let me get it for you [01:07] i'll let daniel take this one [01:07] mlLK: i am runing ubuntu 8.10 server. I want to be able to access the terminal from a windows box so was told to install open ssh server by using the command sudo apt-get install openssh-server. once this was finished i was to to use the command /ect/init.d/ssh start. when i do this it says it cannot find the ssh_host_rsa_key or the ssh_host_dsa_key both located in /etc/ssh/ [01:07] bye [01:08] well an update on the protocol handlers - i guess telnet doesn't work when trying to call a terminal program [01:08] beachside: wubi isn't an installer disk, it installs ubuntu like a windows application and then lets you dual-boot [01:08] i'm guessing for security reasons [01:08] beachside: just give him a LiveCD :) === newbie is now known as spok3n [01:08] ATI 100-714116 Radeon 9600 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X All-in-Wonder Video Card [01:08] ok thanks [01:08] BeachSide, I wont use nor recommend wubi [01:09] thats the card [01:09] for some reason, i installed he vbox adons in ubuntu, but i restared and now they are gone [01:09] any suggestions? [01:09] beachside, i would recommend wubi if you don't want to mess with partitioning [01:09] I'm running 6.10 on a Dell Dimension 2400. Whenever I try to update to the next version or download apps it either tells me it could not download all repository indexes or that the server is down. How can I fix this? [01:09] I know ubuntu has issues with ATI, I also heard that it could be that the splash screen just doesnt follow through with my resolution. [01:10] BeachSide, Please read what wubi is and how it differs from a real install and how you might be risking your windows partition in the process [01:10] oerter, 6.10 is no longer supported [01:10] bear7809: yeah, i had similar issues the other day with a xabre card; it worked when i used a CRT but not an LCD; i ended up just swapping the card out for an nvidia one [01:10] oerter, try sudo do-release-upgrade [01:11] right well, lets just say im real broke cant afford a new card. [01:11] so what should i do? [01:11] oerter: Edgy/6.10 isn't supported any more, and its repository was removed quite some time ago. The upgrade path from 6.10 to a supported version is rather tedious, so you might want to consider grabbing an 8.04 or 8.10 CD and reinstalling. [01:11] have you tried a different monitor? [01:11] Jack_Sparrow, Would you really be risking your windows partition any more than normally? I thought it was only a great risk to the Ubuntu image in a power failure, or do you not reccomend ntfs-3g at all? [01:11] could it really be the monitor thats the problem and not the card? [01:11] Guys, weird problem. While doing aptitude update, I am getting Error 400 URI Failure Message. I am assuming one of my repositories is failing, any ideas how to see which one? [01:12] ok thanks i'll try that [01:12] if i prett ctrl+alt+f1 i get the command line [01:12] to long in [01:12] the monitor comes back on [01:12] whast the command to veiw the amount of space left and amount being used for ubuntu? [01:12] bear8709: it's most likely the card then [01:12] <\kira> ethan: sudo fdisk -l? [01:12] Jordan_U, I have no problem with ntfs-3g.. I wont let ubuntu write to my OS partition, any others.. ok.. just not my installed os partition [01:13] ex-chat [01:13] ethan: df -h [01:13] bear8709: trying a different display driver might help, lemmie see if i can pull up a link for some documentation on that [01:13] Never mind, found the culprit. Playdeb! [01:13] i might have to update the display driver while im running ubuntu though [01:13] Jordan_U, In a power failure situation, you risk more than just the wubi install [01:13] im not so good with all the commadn line stuff but i think i might have to [01:14] Jack_Sparrow, Why more so than with a power failure when booted into windows, or when using ntfs-3g normally? [01:14] bear7809: give this a go: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [01:15] Jordan_U, Read up on wubi. I personally feel it is ok for a test drive. but nothing more.. Just my opinion [01:16] Hey, has anyone had any issues with mhddfs and samba? [01:17] Crayboff, Can you join ##windows ? [01:17] hello? [01:17] ok so you think that will work [01:17] what does that command do exactly? [01:17] Question: Im installing ubuntu on a windows box, im removing windows completely, in the install there is an option for manual partitions, i have a 100 gb partition i would like to leave unformatted its an ntfs filesystem with my music on it, i want to use ubuntu on the rest of the disk, im curious if my settings are correct, it says: /dev/sda1/ ext3 mountpoint = /, however when i press continue it asks about swap space, i have 8mbs unallo [01:17] cated [01:17] jordan_U, do you mean /join #windows? or is it on a different server? [01:17] what is the channel for ubuntu sound help? [01:18] bear7809: that installs the proprietary ati driver [01:18] jordan_u, figured it out [01:18] storm-zen, #alsa or #pulse-audio [01:18] Jack_Sparrow: No, the one for ubuntu. [01:18] alright [01:18] hello guys i am installing an oracle .deb setup file...it says dkpg command not found ...please help [01:18] so im going to get to the splash screen [01:18] monitor is going to go out of signal [01:19] im going to then ctrl atl f1 and stuff [01:19] log in [01:19] yep [01:19] hello lacita [01:19] and run that command [01:19] yes [01:19] storm-zen, right.. alsa or pulse depending on what you are using [01:19] then you might need to restart [01:19] <\kira> konzept: swap space isnt that nessesary. Swap space is harddrive space that acts like ram. Its much slower than ram, but is used is all the ram is used. I have 2 gigs of ram, and I never use more than 20 megs of ram. [01:19] Jack_Sparrow: The last time I was here and was having issues, someone told me to go to #ubuntu-sound... something... and they were able to fix my problem. [01:20] storm-zen, news to me.. let me know if you find it [01:20] ok. [01:20] kira thanks, will my ntfs filesystem be useable in ubuntu its just music files [01:20] ill be back [01:20] guys please help me ...i am trying to install oracle and it is giving me an error for the command dkpg -i [01:20] thanks daniel [01:20] no problem, lemmie know if it helps [01:21] <\kira> konzept: I am pretty sure ubuntu can read ntfs, it doesnt matter what is on the partition, though. Im not sure about how well ntfs is supported, so you might want to ask someone else or google it [01:21] \kira: Pretty well supported with the latest ntfs-3g [01:21] konzept, ntfs wil work fine.. [01:21] \kira thanks for the help, its installing now so [01:21] konzept: ntfs reading is fine. writing to ntfs sometimes requires permissions adjustments [01:22] <\kira> konzept: no problem, good luck :) [01:23] Is it possible to run migration-assistant on a completed installation? I'm trying to import some settings to a system that's already up and running [01:23] Hey, has anyone had any issues with mhddfs and samba? [01:24] Hey people. After logging out, i've lost all usual interaction with the desktop. There's no more background, icons, clicking left of right, doesn't do anything. Although, my panels are there and functionning perfectly. [01:24] can someone point me in the right direction please? [01:24] cdg52: try #samba ? [01:24] will try that thanks [01:25] <_Bart_> lepine, you mean after logout and login? [01:25] _Bart_: correct [01:25] <_Bart_> lepine, the desktop is managed by nautilus [01:26] <_Bart_> is it running? [01:26] i have a file manager running ... i guess that doesnt count ... [01:26] ps'ing [01:26] he'd still have a background even if nautilus weren't [01:26] _Bart_: it's bedtime already, how late ended sesamstreet ? [01:26] i'm trying to install phpbb but failed, now apt cannot be used untill the instalation is complete, is there a way to release apt? [01:26] <_Bart_> MatBoy, How do you know what time it is here [01:27] _Bart_: "nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default2" is all i get [01:27] _Bart_: Kinda simple, do a whois and see... versatel.nl ;) [01:27] itai-michaelson: yes, i don't know the command offhand, but restarting would probably unlock it [01:27] <_Bart_> MatBoy, ah right it's 2.27 am ;p [01:27] <_Bart_> lepine, do killall nautilus and wait [01:27] itai-michaelson: dpkg-reconfigure might be it [01:28] question: my installer failed, im curious how i can go about installing ubuntu from iso without burning a cd [01:28] itai-michaelson, Can you patebin the output of "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [01:28] is there a reposotory of free trees? [01:28] _Bart_: right... I'm waiting for the 6:30 sesamstreet reloaded :P [01:28] i need lots of trees in half an hour [01:28] istvan: can be done... where do I need to put them ? [01:28] _Bart_: right on the button! i'm at a loss here ... it happened once ... then rebooted ... which didn't fix the problem. Why would killing it have solved the issue? [01:28] so i need textures an dall [01:28] <_Bart_> konzept, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [01:28] konzept, try the alternate install disk [01:29] !install [01:29] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:29] Jordan_U, dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [01:29] HatBoy: box.net in a zip would be fine, or where ever else. I need textures and all please [01:29] <_Bart_> lepine, ahhh rebooting doesn't work? [01:29] I have an image of a fat32 filesystem, and it's got 122GB free space. I'd like to shrink that image to close to 0 free space. How? [01:29] itai-michaelson, Do you have apt / dpkg running somewhere else? [01:29] _Bart_: no that was the weird thing ... rebooting didn't do the trick ... killall nautilus did though [01:29] When I try to start an XFCE session i receive the error shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/. I've tried resetting the permissions on /tmp, my home folder, and removing the .iceauthority file. Any other suggestions? [01:30] <_Bart_> lepine, that's strange... [01:30] Jordan_U, no. i tried to install phpbb but it froze in the middle (with apt) so i killed it , now i cannot use apt at all [01:30] TwoD, what do you mean "image" a different partition? [01:30] indeed [01:30] istvan_: ow, I htought real trees [01:30] SwitchMon44, explain to people what all you have done prior to the pwoblem. What changes to sources or unsupported apps installed etc [01:30] Jordan_U, when i ps aux | grep apt i get : root 16365 0.0 2.1 36720 22552 ? Sl 08:19 0:03 aptitude install phpbb2-conf-mysql [01:31] tj83, I used ddrescue to create an image of a damaged filesystem. Now I'm migrating the files out of the image, but I need to shrink the wasted space in it to leave room for more files outside it. [01:31] It is a fresh install of XFCE on top of eeebuntu. [01:31] what program can i use to make an mp3 disc? [01:31] uhh, i just opened a folder to an automatically mounted cdrom drive that had been unmounted and is now being erased, and my file browser windows locked up. how can i unlock them without waiting for the cd to be erased, or just restart the whole process?? [01:31] itai-michaelson, Ok, find out where you have aptitude open and close it ( if you can't find it kill it ) [01:32] TwoD, oh, i understand now, honest don't know... i think it had to be specified when you created the image [01:32] droopsta915, k3b with the mp3 addon [01:32] itai-michaelson, But it might be waiting for user input [01:32] tj83, I could not specify any options for the output image with ddrescue... [01:32] <_Bart_> MatBoy, MatBoy@wiljewelwetenhe.xs4all.nl lol [01:33] Jack_Sparrow: how I can get the mp3 addon? [01:33] _Bart_: yes, hehe, wannaknow was used already ;) [01:33] <\kira> My ubuntu server is slow beyond belief. I run a game server on there, and I have no problems at all connecting and playing on the game server. The lag is not above normal, and it works fine. But, if I try to ssh or nmap the server. It takes forever. Most of the time, A ssh connection will just cause the server to wait for about 5 mins then close the connection with me. The odd time it does prompt me for my password I can log in, but every key stroke I type tak [01:33] <\kira> es a little while to show up. My local computer isnt slowing at all. Whats going on? [01:33] droopsta915, should be in there .. search in synaptic [01:33] TwoD, will have to google or hope that someone else knows, i am curious also, when i had that issue i used the "dd" not "ddrescue" [01:33] any recommendation for my mount point in installing ubuntu? /,/boot,/tmp,/src,/usr,/home and such, please help me, i'm new to this [01:33] !find k3b [01:33] Found: k3b, k3b-data, k3b-i18n, libk3b-dev, libk3b3 (and 2 others) [01:34] on new install should mount point be root? [01:34] konzept, yes [01:34] Iderik, "/" [01:34] thanks [01:34] <_Bart_> MatBoy, but you're right it's bedtijd [01:34] tj83, I chose ddrescue since it would just write zeroes when data could not be read, and log unreadable sectors to a file to retry later === mark____ is now known as marcrosoft [01:35] i need to remove pulsesound but sudo apt-get purge pulsesound wants to remove ubuntu-desktop too? [01:35] _Bart_: I'm just awake, I slept about 3 hours this evening [01:35] Kaga: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-pacakge. [01:35] is ubuntu-desktop a meta package or is there a way to not remove it with pulsesound? [01:35] kaga: ubuntu-desktop is meta [01:36] _Bart_: I'm php-ing... so... addicted [01:36] ok, so I am compiling a custom kernel using debian's make-kpkg, what happens when there is an upgrade to the kernel passed down by ubuntu? [01:36] I'm trying to run a fresh install of XFCE from eeebuntu on an eeepc. When I start the session I receive the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/ and then the session quits. [01:36] !eee [01:36] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [01:36] <_Bart_> MatBoy, hehe ok for me it's time to go to bed.... right now ;p [01:37] _Bart_: sissie :P [01:37] !ot [01:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:37] is it possible to run 32bit apps on the amd64 strand of ubuntu? [01:37] dft: yep [01:37] !chroot [01:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [01:37] MatBoy: any special needs? [01:37] <_Bart_> :P bye everyone [01:37] yo [01:38] dft: Jack_Sparrow just posted [01:38] _Bart_: sleep well [01:38] can someone tell me how I can enable my wifi? I did "lsusb" and it list a belkin device, which is my wifi adapter [01:38] MatBoy, Jack_Sparrow ty [01:38] np [01:38] alright guys [01:38] i got a problem [01:38] buh bye bart [01:38] Jack_Sparrow: we can make a problem out of it ;) :P [01:38] why cant you install rpms on ubuntu? [01:38] bear7809: still not working? [01:38] nope [01:38] !rpm [01:38] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [01:38] joejc: you need to alien them [01:39] !alien [01:39] i tried loging in normaly but just guessing what the login screen was doing [01:39] :( [01:39] hehe [01:39] is there a command I can use to retrieve a list of instances I have used wget in the terminal. I'm having a hard time remembering some of the parameters I use with wget and would like to retrieve a history [01:39] i just want to know why you cant [01:39] tj83, thanks a lot! it does recommend me to make a swap partion, how big should it be? i'm installing ubuntu from live usb stick [01:39] joejc, Really, really not advised that you use alien for rpms [01:39] the new 8.10 thingy in the corner is lovely [01:39] joejc: because RPM's are not friendly ;( [01:39] Iderik, how much RAM do you have? [01:39] joejc, If you need it that bad, compile it yourself [01:39] joejc: because Ubuntu uses apt, not rpm. They're different, incompatible package management systems.

Version 0.14-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 2047 kB, installed size 6064 kB [02:16] Mass[UB], no [02:16] usr13: So as you can see im trying to bridge the interfaces on the linux box [02:16] I've read it on some website, don't quite remember the reason for it, 8.10 isn't as stable or something? [02:17] I need some help compiling ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2 [02:17] Mass[UB], this is the support channel.. if you want discussion, there are other channels [02:17] so... the perl binaries in ubuntu don't have the core module GDBM_File compiled in it by default - is there someone i could talk to about fixing that ? [02:17] HellFire-Au: Describe the wireless to ethernet bridge. [02:17] hi to all [02:17] i need help [02:18] !ask [02:18] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:18] usr13: I'm using a wireless usb adapter on the linux box [02:18] looking for linux howto's (text files preferably) that are a little easier to understand than what is found in the man pages and doc-base [02:18] Mass[UB] -- Nothing is ever stable. There are always questionable items + packages. If you want to go for Ubuntu 8.04 or Ubuntu 8.10, that's fine. [02:18] jack_Sparrow .... do you think I shd update to 8.10 and may be it solves the problem? [02:18] I can't start X, using nvidia-glx-177. /var/log/Xorg.0.log says Fatal error, no screens found [02:18] Masss [UB]. No it is not as stable, i have a laptop that is 08 model, and all prev. verisions of ubuntu worked, but 8.10 did not! [02:18] Guest84797, You could dual or tripple boot or run live for testing it [02:18] When using dnsmasq with mac adresses it is possible for unknown clients to get an ip adress over dhcp. How can i prevent that? [02:19] I couldn't get it at all, so I tried installing nvidia-glx-177 and that doens't fix it [02:19] HellFire-Au: So, you have connection to the internet via the wireless USB device? [02:19] eseven73: im using the package from jaunty [02:19] Raylz: i just wanted to know what it was :) [02:19] dmsuperman, Did you see how I got my 6600 oc to work [02:19] usr13: Yes [02:19] eseven73: haha [02:19] Jack_Sparrow: No, what'd you do? [02:19] dmsuperman, one sec [02:19] kanas ellhnas [02:19] HellFire-Au: And that device is being shared over the ethernet NIC that is connected to the router? [02:20] greek [02:20] !gr [02:20] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [02:20] Jack_Sparrow, I did not understand your last message ... sorry [02:20] dmsuperman, http://paste.ubuntu.com/99972/ not sure if it will help but here it is [02:20] Ok, I've setup an irc server on my machine but I can't connect to it using my external IP address only using 127.0.0.1. How can I make it work on the external IP? [02:20] usr13: Not sure what you mean, but it connects to my wlan and gains internet access through there. The ethernet NIC is connected to my xbox 360 (which i need to enable net access) [02:21] I need some help compiling ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2 [02:21] Mass[UB]: offtopic but forward port 6667 [02:21] !compile [02:21] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: I'm sorry, I don't have X at all. Would you mind terribly getting me a link to that paste in plain text form? Like, no page or formatting or anything, so I can save it and see it with nano [02:21] Hey can anyone help me set up !VNC on a Ubuntu and XP machine?? [02:21] My applications management aplication after I touch verify continues running indefenitely, but does nothing [02:21] Mass[UB]: did you forrward the port needed for the irc server? [02:21] Mass[UB]: 6660-6667 is IRC ports according to Wikipedia [02:22] usr13: Problems start when i use brctl to bridge ra0 and eth0. No connectivity and no dhcp working, i don't think the signal even gets to the router as nothing shows up in the router config half of the time [02:22] So the eithernet NIC is connected directly to the xbox? [02:22] bye [02:22] Mass[UB]: non encrypted ports that is [02:22] Mass[UB]: because if you have a router of any kind or even a software firewall it won't respond to your trying to connect [02:22] usr13: I have used firestarter and that has worked but it doesn't allow a transparent connection to my router (ie there is only 1 ip for both the htpc and 360, i need 1 ip for each) [02:22] anyone know of an IRC channel that deals with CPUs and/or overclocking [02:23] donavan: whats the issue? [02:23] HellFire-Au: Firestarter should do the job for you. [02:24] HellFire-Au: But I'm still not understanding how everything is connected. [02:24] donavan, no but maybe cpu frequency scaler can help you? [02:25] well Im trying to find out some info on a laptop I have thats running an athlon xp 2400 ... I want to throw a 3200 in it but the existing processor is mobile unit and I dont know if there will be issues even if I find one thats at the right FSB speed [02:25] usr13: My home theatre pc is connected to my wireless router/modem via a usb dongle. That provides the internet access. The home theatre pc also has a single ethernet port which is connected directly ethernet to ethernet to my xbox 360 [02:26] s3a: cpu freq scaler? [02:26] usr13: As i explained firestarter doesn't provide the transparent functionality i need, certain xbox 360 features cannot work because firestarter combines both the htpc and 360 under one ip. I need 2 seperate ip's for each device, i have done this on windows by bridging the interfaces and has worked quite successfully, though when i try on mythbuntu it fails to register an ip [02:26] !bridge [02:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [02:27] !bridging [02:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridging [02:27] anyone know why there is no OO3.0 package for Ubuntu? [02:27] right click on top panel and click add to panel then type cpu [02:27] HellFire-Au: Is it a crossover cable between the PC and xbox? [02:27] donavan, right click on top panel and click add to panel then type cpu [02:27] thomas: Because Ubuntu dev believe it's not stable. You can add repos to install OOo3. [02:27] I've portforwarded 6667 on my router's and if I run the irc server under windows I can connect to it using the external IP adress, thing is that I am using Ubuntu on VirtualBox and would like to run an irc server from there [02:28] donavan: what kind of information? [02:28] Mass[UB]: i think that would require briding [02:28] thanks jinja, have run it on SUSE 11.1 ... seems stable to me. [02:28] check out /proc/cpuinfo [02:28] got this error when trying to go to system-pref-touchpad [02:29] usr13: Not sure, it was one that came with my router. I'm guessing it should work though since i get xbox live connectivity through firestarter, basic gaming works but things like file sharing dont [02:29] hi. Is there a nice gui app to transfer files between 2 ubuntu 8.10 boxes by simply connecting them with ethernet cables (ad hoc network)? [02:29] hey guys any rooms in here for flash editing [02:29] thomas: ##repo for open office3 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main [02:29] HellFire-Au: THat may be your problem. You probably need to use a crossover cable. [02:30] HellFire-Au: Try a crossover cable first, see if that works. [02:30] thanks exodus [02:30] Gsynaptics couldn't initialize. [02:30] You have to set 'SHMCconfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [02:30] np thomas [02:30] usr13: okay, i'll try now [02:30] i open xorg.conf but there was nothing about shmconfig in there [02:30] eseven73: briding? [02:31] So the real issue is the album that I have that is downloaded as WMA's and the songs will crackle. This primarily happens when I switch viewports (using metacity right now), but this doesn't even really matter because it will do it randomly and sporadically also. The most peculiar part of this is that Amarok runs these wma files perfectly. Now I know that they are different engines... but it would be nice to know why these files are ru [02:31] HellFire-Au: If you need dhcp server running, make sure it is configured to communicate [only] over eth0 [02:31] dracie: well mainly what the actual difference between the mobile and the desktop model ... is there a xp3200+ mobile or just the desktop version ... I have been googling it but I always get the athlon 64 info [02:31] ~/quit [02:31] sztomi: i think Unison does that or maybe rsync (the gui for those are unison-gtk and grsync) [02:32] dracie: also if there is no mobile version will the desktop version work ... I know it will suck more power but I don't care the lappy is normally plugged in [02:32] Mass[UB]: networking [02:32] Banshee is kind of failing me right now, so I ran back to my old and trusty Amarok. I am trying to set up the keyboard shortcuts with the buttons play/pause, stop, back, forward, but amarok must not recognize these buttons or something because they do not come up when I try to put them in. This works, however, in Banshee, so I am guessing it has something to do with Amarok being KDE. So I was wondering what packages I need to allow thi [02:32] eseven73: I just found this nice tutorial: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p11.htm#Quick_Temporary_SSH_LAN_ [02:33] thanks anyway :) [02:33] donavan: moved away from CentOS ? [02:33] donavan: you need to figure out what socket type it is, and how much power your computer can consume for processor, and if it may fit [02:33] what's the command line utility that can tell me which processes are using a file? [02:33] Mass[UB]: you could try this in the VM 'ifconfig' and get the ip from that and try to ping it from windows or anywhere really if it pings, then just forward the port for that IP [02:34] usr13: I don't need a dhcp server running on the actual linux box, both the 360 and the ethernet NIC on the linux box are configured statically and work without a bridge + firestarter. When bridged, the wireless usb dongle fails getting an ip from my router via dhclient [02:34] anyone in here know of any free flash editing programs that are good programs not garbage [02:34] Mass[UB]: so like if the VM ip is 10.*.*.* try forwarding 6667 for that ip [02:35] Banshee is kind of failing me right now, so I ran back to my old and trusty Amarok. I am trying to set up the keyboard shortcuts with the buttons play/pause, stop, back, forward, but amarok must not recognize these buttons or something because they do not come up when I try to put them in. This works, however, in Banshee, so I am guessing it has something to do with Amarok being KDE. So I was wondering what packages I need to allow thi [02:35] usr13: So the problem actually lies in the linux box because all connectivity from the linux box drops when the bridge is enabled, i have to manually use the keyboard to destroy the bridge to restore connectivity [02:37] dracie: the xp-m 2400 uses a socket A and so does the xp3200+ basically the only difference is the the FSB speed 266 on the 2400 and 400 on some models of the 3200 ... I seem to remember there being a direct replacement chip for this lappy but its been years since I last looked now Im trying to ebay the CPU so need to make sure the specs are right [02:38] How would I go about making my machine identify itself as a domain that I own (and already works with my apache server) instead of the silly domain assigned to me by the isp? [02:38] eseven73: ifconfig turned up with 10.0.2.15 on eth0 [02:38] are there any opensource webdesign programs that will open a css file [02:38] any wget ninjas out there? [02:38] usr13: Tried the crossover, didn't change anything. [02:38] dracie: also I think the 2400 that I have is the thuroughbred core and the 3200 is the barton [02:38] that doesn't make a difference [02:38] if I have a program that I want started at boot time where do I put the entry? [02:38] Doc8404: In a pinch you could use Firebug. [02:38] the core is just talking aboutthe processor design [02:39] Mass[UB]: yeah tha twont work, thats like 127.0.0.1 [02:39] thank you [02:39] Coded1: in System>Prefs>Sessions [02:39] is anyone else having major heat issues with ubuntu 8.10 and laptops? NVIDIA card onboard (using 177.x) [02:39] daxelrod_ thanks [02:39] FAJALOU1, ty [02:39] Hey, is there any way to set Gnome on another distro up to look like Ubuntu's defaults? [02:40] laptop is a hell of a lot hotter than what it was under windows, ubuntu forums is quite useless on this topic [02:40] Mass[UB]: everyone with vbox has 10.0.2.15, ummm yeah I think its gonna require some sort of Network briding then, have you tried googling for this info yet? [02:40] So the real issue is the album that I have that is downloaded as WMA's and the songs will crackle. This primarily happens when I switch viewports (using metacity right now), but this doesn't even really matter because it will do it randomly and sporadically also. The most peculiar part of this is that Amarok runs these wma files perfectly. Now I know that they are different engines... but it would be nice to know why these files are ru [02:40] Doc8404: Sure, although it's really intended for debugging rather than creating [02:42] what is a good ftp client? [02:42] filezilla [02:42] yep [02:42] !ftp | but theres many more [02:42] oops [02:42] !ftp | agim try these too: [02:43] it bitches about TLS connections in proftpd servers before RC2 and before vsftpd 2.0.7 [02:43] OH ubottu is gone [02:43] and won't let you connect [02:43] but other than that it's a great multi threaded ftp [02:43] what happend to ubottu? [02:44] why dkms is not by default in Ubuntu Desktop??? [02:45] isn't it useful? [02:45] Banshee is kind of failing me right now, so I ran back to my old and trusty Amarok. I am trying to set up the keyboard shortcuts with the buttons play/pause, stop, back, forward, but amarok must not recognize these buttons or something because they do not come up when I try to put them in. This works, however, in Banshee, so I am guessing it has something to do with Amarok being KDE. So I was wondering what packages I need to allow thi [02:45] EagleScreen: it is... [02:45] i used filezilla on windows but i didn't like it when it would not keep the connection alive [02:45] hello [02:45] oh then.. it is in Ubuntu but not in Kubuntu.. why?? [02:45] Jack_Sparrow: Couldn't get it to work [02:46] Jack_Sparrow: Went back to my old hardy install [02:46] FAJALOU1: Run xev and see whether the buttons are assigned. I made myself an .Xmodmap. [02:46] EagleScreen: or maybe it only gets pulled in when a package needs it, I'm not sure [02:46] EagleScreen: in any case, it's in the repositories [02:46] yes, it is in repo [02:46] i am having configuring libcups -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/99984/ [02:47] my upgrade broke in the middle of its process, and now i am facing this [02:47] farrioth: how so? [02:48] FAJALOU1: I had to assign values to the keycodes (like "keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev") before I could map them. === ROBERTYN00 is now known as asus [02:49] arbir try sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:49] farrioth: o nvm [02:49] ya, so i just did a fresh install, and gnome-terminal won't load. its actually kind of funny. loading from xterm it says: Bus error [02:49] EagleScreen: alright let me try [02:49] FAJALOU1: Hmm? [02:49] farrioth: sounds complicated etc etc.... lol [02:49] EagleScreen: its throwing a super error! [02:50] FAJALOU1: You just need to make the file and it should be recognised when you log in next. Copy my file and see if it works... [02:50] EagleScreen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99986/ [02:50] how can I switch windows bootloader order so Ubuntu appears first? (I installed with wubi and I don't know where's the windows equivalent to menu.lst) [02:50] farrioth: ok [02:50] FAJALOU1: http://rafb.net/p/qADuD634.html === joe_ is now known as joejc18 [02:51] farrioth: where should the file be? [02:51] is there a supported LISP package? [02:51] arbir what kind of upgrade were you doing? [02:51] FAJALOU1: .Xmodmap [02:51] in ~ ? [02:51] FAJALOU1: Yeah. === rachel is now known as Guest24526 [02:52] EagleScreen: the usual upgrade..... what ever my auto-updater shows me [02:52] hello, anything think they can help me with a problem? [02:52] farrioth: this is for getting it to work with amarok... correct? [02:52] How can you mmanage multiple email aliases in evolution under the same acct? [02:53] carandraug: you should be able to do that in windows [02:53] arbir try sudo aptitude full-upgrade [02:53] FAJALOU1: Once it's set, you should be able to bind the keys like you normally would. [02:53] farrioth: so just hit it, and it would bind in amaroks "Configure Global Shortcuts" ? [02:53] jordon_U, thanks so much for your help. got it to work via the command prompt with the recovery thing [02:54] Can't you create an email alias by creating an .forward file? [02:54] Rolle: the question is how? Anyne knows? This is a friends computer, I haven't touched windows for a long time [02:54] FAJALOU1: Hopefully. [02:54] mike_: That's what this channel is for. Just go ahead and ask. [02:54] carandraug: control panel-system-advance-under startup and recovery click settings [02:54] should have a default operating system drop down box [02:54] Rolle: ok. Thanks. I'll try that === richard is now known as Guest37136 [02:55] no prob [02:55] Im having trouble running Steam. Menus run slow, and computer freezes when a game attempts to startup, any suggestions? [02:55] arbir sudo aptitude update; and later sudo aptitude full-upgrade [02:56] Can anyone recommend an advanced touchpad settings manager for my laptop? === DClayAway is now known as DClayBuck [02:57] mike_, which games are you trying to play? [02:57] EagleScreen: same errors as before [02:57] Anybody around with any videocard expertise? [02:57] !nyone [02:58] DClayBuck, depends on the card [02:58] how can i list, my hardware profile ? eg , which Display driver, which sound card driver etc etc. [02:58] node357, basically just DoD:S, Audiosurf, and HL2 [02:58] DClayBuck, ask the channel your complete question and describe your problem [02:58] mike_, try going into properties and set -windowed [02:58] arbir: install and execute sysinfo [02:58] arbir, sudo lshw [02:58] mike_, not sure if it'll work with Audiosurf but it should with Source games [02:59] farrioth: didn't work.... it came up correctly; like it says XF86Stop etc. but it is not actually stoppin them [02:59] tj83: got lshw ;-) thanks [03:00] fosco_: thanks [03:00] arbir a quick way is using "lspci" command for PCI devices, and "lsusb" for USB devices, but sysinfo is more complete [03:00] FAJALOU: That's strange... I'm not sure what to do about that, sorry. [03:00] How would I go about making my machine identify itself as a domain that I own (and already works with my apache server) instead of the silly domain assigned to me by the isp? [03:00] tj83: That's the thing. I've got a Radeon HD 4550 with the latest drivers (running Intrepid x64, btw) but it still hangs when I watch fullscreen video. I got this card because I was having a Compiz nightmare with my GeForce 8600 GT. I need to return one of the cards soon, but I need some advice on which problem I'll be able to fix. [03:00] i'll try restarting amarok [03:00] Rolle: I'm in a system configuration menu with a tab called boot. There's a list for OS installed but there's only one in here and no button to add others. WUbi is already installed and appears in the menu but does not appear here [03:01] What's the package name for mono!? [03:01] node357, mind helping me out with one other thing.. It appears I havent made an icon in applications, and its under WINE, could you help me there too? [03:01] DClayBuck, rule of thumb is nvidia usually comes out on top over ATI, BUT intrepid runs a new xserver version and is quite buggy, wish i could help [03:02] mike_, you mean an icon for each game, or for Steam? [03:02] node357, steam. [03:02] carandraug: are you in windows xp or vista? [03:02] I wish steam worked well with friends [03:02] tj83: Thanks anyway. Anybody else got any tips? [03:02] Rolle: vista [03:03] I am bridging 2 interfaces on my htpc, ra0 and eth0. When i setup the bridge, and run dhclient br0 the dhclient is sending requests along eth0. How can i change it so when i type in dhclient br0, the dhclient will send requests along ra0 (my router connection) [03:03] sorry mike_ not sure [03:03] ahh i was thinking xp [03:03] lemme look [03:04] mike_, Steam should have created a Desktop icon, not sure why it didn't for you [03:04] DClayBuck: YOu have what 2 video cards? [03:04] Can anyone tell me why "adduser fuse fuse" says "The user 'fuse' does not exist.'... ! I know, that's why I'm trying to add it! :( [03:04] Applications->Wine->Programs->Steam [03:04] The freeze or lockup, can you tell what's causing it? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:05] node357, I clicked for it not too, i thought it would show up under "applications -> Games", or that at least it would be there so i could move it [03:06] usr13: I have a Radeon HD 4550, two GeForce 8600 GT's, and a shrinking RMA window. :) [03:06] mike_, do you have an entry in your menu called "Wine" ? If so, Steam may be in that menu [03:06] Hey. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (it's awesome!) I'm setting up rdiff-backup so my mom's home directory is always backed up, but Ubuntu only provides version 1.1.16, and my host requires at least 1.2.something (they run 1.2.2). How can I get a newer version? [03:07] Hello! [03:07] hi [03:07] (I'm normally a Gentoo user, so I'm not averse to installing by hand, but I'd rather convince apt/synaptic to do it the right way.) [03:07] yeah efeXor, I wish the Steam Community overlay worked in WINE [03:07] usr13: Not sure. The video freezes, and I can't do anything besides a hard reset, but the audio keeps going like nothing's wrong. It also locked up during the screensaver once or twice, but that was with the old drivers. [03:07] I just wish i could communicate with my friends, i've been debating on trying to write a simple friends client to connect to steam with but meh [03:07] ttuttle: use checkinstall to build a package from source [03:08] efeXor, that would be cool [03:08] node357, okay, ill figure out the shortcut part later, i think I can do that... you said go to properties -windowed ? [03:09] Yeah. Maybe see if i could do an overlay too, but i doubt it [03:09] balboa02: is that the only way to do it? Can't I juts pull a newer version from somewhere? [03:09] ttuttle: I dpm [03:09] hi [03:09] Is there a way I can run Linux in Windows virtually AND be able to make it bootable as well? [03:09] Is there a way to search for packages in apt if like you dont know the complete name? [03:09] ttuttle: I don't know if you can or not, did you add the extra repos including medibuntu? They may have updated packages [03:10] my name's toàn [03:10] ttuttle: You could also try temporarily changing your repos to jaunty and then install the package from there, but it could cause problems (never has for me personally though) [03:10] ttuttle: ubuntu doesnt use bleeding edge software but like balboa02 said maybe you can find it from other repos [03:11] is vino better then tightvncserver? [03:11] yay ubottu is back :) [03:11] !ubottu [03:11] :S [03:12] !hello | efeXor [03:12] don't abuse the bot, especially when it's syncing [03:12] Rolle: I just found it. Thank you very much. I found the menu you're talking before (this frieds computer is in portuguese not english and the translation was not that good, the reason I was in the wrong menu). Again, thank you [03:12] !hello [03:12] lol no prob [03:12] efeXor, eseven73: stop that [03:12] okay. [03:12] i was googling it and thought i found the page, but it wasn't loading [03:12] =p [03:12] I don't want it to flood off again [03:12] I didnt know it was syncing sorry [03:13] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [03:13] efeXor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:14] I'm getting an intermittent "cannot open display" error when trying to start GUI programs from the terminal, if I open a new terminal and try the command again it will work for a little bit but then starts throwing the error again.

[03:16] hey all, anyone able to help with install finding scsi cdrom drive? [03:16] usr13: When the bridge is up, and i use dhclient br0 it will request on the ethernet interface (proven via the mac address when it says requesting on interface..). How can i change it so when i type in br0, it will request over my wireless usb dongle (ra0) connected to my routers wlan? === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [03:17] vncveiwer tells me i dont have config security for 3.3 [03:17] Whats this mean? [03:18] can anyone help me get an online game with glchess? [03:19] i still can't get connected there [03:19] HellFire-Au: Not sure I understand your question, but... If you issue command "dhclient br0", it will only send the request over br0 and not other interfaces. [03:19] usr13: br0 is the bridge of ra0 and eth0 [03:19] hihi [03:19] usr13: Bridge as in, typing brctl addbr br0, brctl addif br0 ra0, etc [03:21] <|tmwnn|> Hello all.

Without the bridge it goes through fine though, any idea why its happening? [03:24] Any guitarist in here found a chromatic tuner for linux that actually works? [03:24] sysdoc, nope, but if you find one, lemme know [03:25] Any of you use Ubuntu with an HP USB printer? [03:25] HellFire-Au, you cannot operate on an interface while it is part of a bridge and expect it to do something meaningful [03:25] |tmwnn|: isnt there an app in intrepid that does that? "Create USB..." [03:25] HellFire-Au, maybe you meant to dhclient br0 ?? [03:25] unop: Whoa, that's awesome. [03:25] phlux I found one but it don't wanna work [03:26] unop: Yeah, i tried dhclient br0 but the problem was it was requesting on the interface that was connected to other devices, not the interface that was connected to my router [03:26] unop: So i figured might as well try and see if it does anything [03:26] hy [03:26] HellFire-Au, and is there another DHCP server on the other interface? [03:27] <\kira> My server responds slow beyond belief. Whats wierd is that only certain services have the problem. My game server runs fine without problem, but ssh takes so long that the server eventually closes the connection. If I do manage to connect, it takes almost a minute for the keystrokes I type to show up in the terminal. Nmaping the system causes the same effect. I've tried connecting with and without a dyndns. Any suggestions? [03:27] <|tmwnn|> temppy, I have run Linux from USb on distros, but I have not yet ever used Ubuntu. Thanks === mike_ is now known as mike__ [03:27] unop: The only DHCP server in my network is my router, which ra0 a wireless usb dongle connects to. The eth0 is connected to an xbox 360 [03:27] Hardly know where to begin at a website like this, searching "steam issues", could be any of a thousand things it seems... [03:28] <\kira> also, it works fine if I connect from my LAN. It *seems* this problem happens to everyone who connects outside my LAN [03:29] HellFire-Au, then it shouldn't matter if you did a dhclient br0 -- as long as your wireless driver allows your wireless interface to be put in a bridged mode, it should pick up an address - but that's something to look out for, not all wireless devices can successfully be part of a bridge [03:29] mike__: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1554 [03:30] unop: Guess that makes sence, i'll have a search around. I have a ralink rt2870 chipset in my wireless usb dongle [03:31] Hi, Im having a problem with Ubuntu finding my wireless network. It finds every other one but mine and mine isnt hidden. Can anyone help? [03:31] HellFire-Au, mine is a rt73 (which used to have problems) [03:31] unop: Did you get yours working?

Running Intrepid x64. [03:31] HellFire-Au, for a bridge no - i setup the machine as a router instead [03:32] Any of you use Ubuntu and wirelessly share your printer? [03:32] phlux: Yes [03:32] usr13, will it communicate with Windows? [03:32] So, should prevu-init be installing jaunty or intrepid packages? [03:33] unop: Maybe there's an alternative way to get what im acheiving then, i want my xbox 360 and my linux box to get seperate ip addresses to my router. Can that be possible setting up my box as a router? (While retaining internet connectivity with my linux box) [03:33] <\kira> My server responds slow beyond belief. Whats wierd is that only certain services have the problem. My game server runs fine without problem, but ssh takes so long that the server eventually closes the connection.

How do I correct this? [03:33] HellFire-Au, 'box' is what here? a pc or the xbox? [03:33] phlux: I thnik so. [03:33] \kira: You're repeating yourself :P [03:33] phlux: If not, you can set it up under a samba share [03:34] unop: Should've clarified, linux htpc box [03:34] <\kira> ttuttle: sorry [03:34] \kira: It's okay. [03:34] HellFire-Au, sure, you'll have to setup ip masquerading on it -- there's a howto on tldp [03:34] kira: Is there a NAT router or firewall between your LAN and the Internet? [03:35] Okay, prevu isn't installing a new enough version. [03:35] Everytime xchat starts up... it maintains the same "Join Server box" it always does.... I always check the box so it does not show the list "on login" but it still does, and still reverts back to old inforamtion (my username should be TeamColtra out of prefrence) [03:35] unop: Awesome, so that will give my xbox and my linux htpc seperate ip addresses while retaining internet connectivity to both?

[03:36] HellFire-Au, right - but those ip addresses cannot be on the same ip network as your router - they'll have to be on a separate ip network [03:36] Hi. I have a XP/Ubuntu 7.04 dual boot. I am trying to install 8.10 from scratch. But, the Ubuntu LiveCD is not being booted from. Windows CD works though. I have made the required changes in the BIOS. Even the GParted Live CD doesnt boot.

And would the xbox 360 show up in the Network view of a windows vista computer on a different ip network to the xbox? [03:37] <\kira> unop: thanks [03:37] rohil: sounds like a bad cd? [03:38] <\kira> unop: it returns a error, saying the script is not found. I had removed all the references to nessus from the startup directory, could that be causing it? [03:39] Hi, Im having a problem with Ubuntu finding my wireless network. It finds every other one but mine and mine isnt hidden. Can anyone help?

Also see !patience [03:39] I burnt one normally from Windows XP and another from Nero 7 essentials [03:39] HellFire-Au, errm, not really - as your box will become a NAT router in the process - but you can setup your box as a samba master browser and bi-directional NAT to help [03:39] eseven73, sigh. I don't know what do. I tried everything [03:40] I can read the .iso in the CD after booting into the OS though ...

[03:40] \kira, if you've removed all scripts - how do you expect to start the service? that doesn;t make much sense [03:40] Yes. I can. but from inside Windows XP [03:40] unop: How would i go about doing that? [03:40] rohil: does the iso show up in the cd directory? [03:41] yeah. But after starting XP. [03:41] <\kira> unop: I thought I was only removing the ones from the startup directory. im not sure what directory it was. It just also didnt make sense to start nessus before the internet was configured, since it wouldnt be able to download any plugins [03:41] !smbtree [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbtree === tons2000 is now known as tonsofpcs [03:41] !samba [03:41] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Thanks anyways [03:44] unop: Cheers, also is this the correct guide to setup ip masquerade: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html ? And just one last thing, how would i go about setting up the bi-directional NAT? [03:45] how do i install the perl module Net::Telnet on my ubuntu machine? [03:45] HellFire-Au, well, the howto should set you up for NAT in one direction (atleast) - it's just a matter of reciprocating that the other way [03:45] general, sudo cpan Net::Telnet [03:46] Armagguedes: easiest way: click on the Home folder on your desktop. navigate up til in the Nautilus window, you see an entry on left side for "File System" or 20Gb Drive or something like that [03:46] general, or. sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Net::Telnet"' [03:46] I need some advice on solving the fullscreen-video-causes-system-hang issue with my HD 4550. Can I fix it in Intrepid x64? Should I switch to a GeForce 8600 GT instead? Should I run Hardy instead?

This isnt really ubuntu related anymore, and Im not sure how to upgrade, so mabye try asking in #compiz?

[04:15] apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [04:15] ubuntu: you would be fine with only about a third of that as swap. you should set the home at about 7-8 gig. [04:15] i got that error message [04:15] <\kira> transporter: also, have you done a update in a while? [04:15] I understand but I am just using the live cd right now and thought my question would be for all distros of linux [04:15] ubuntu: just for future reference ;) [04:15] Grandslammaster: what does sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart do? [04:15] Grandslammaster, what does this give you? grep APACHE_RUN_USER /etc/apache2/* [04:16] \kira: my system is up to date it does not have the deformation option in the ccsm u know so that's the reason i cannot see it [04:16] jtaji: thanks [04:16] ubuntu - what question?

The last thing I can recommend (since im not currently at a computer with compiz on it), is to remove and reinstall compiz and see if that makes a difference. If you cant backup you would loose all your settings (I think). I would recommend asking in #compiz first, before you take a move that drastic [04:18] HackBox: will it mess it up or something [04:18] what does that mean === function1 is now known as zoid [04:18] pelao91: by drawing do you mean vector graphics illustration, or a simple paint program?

[04:47] jtaji: thanks again ... its been years since I have really used linux (were talking 386/486 days) and I just cant remember anything and then have changed stuff a good deal so its all kinds of fun figuring stuff out again [04:47] Bear7809: try looking this page over, you should be able to fix it via cli, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash [04:47] that !tab does not explain it well enough, Bear7809 basically you just type the first couple letters of someones nick and press Tab key [04:48] * nnull pushes TAB and hold's paper cup under A: drive waiting patiently [04:48] Bear7809: lpoptions -d -o outputorder=reverse === jeanphilippe is now known as jp_sf [04:48] jeanphilippe: tell itzhero that answer :) [04:49] LtL: Ah get confused here [04:49] itzhero: lpoptions -d -o outputorder=reverse [04:50] Bear7809: sorry ... [04:50] judr drop that in commandline? with my printer in place of ? [04:50] just* [04:50] jp_sf: its ok [04:50] itzhero: yes I print from the command line [04:50] LtL: so you think i should change the theme of my usplash? [04:51] itzhero: 99% of the commands people tell you to run here, should be put in a terminal :) [04:51] Bear7809: Is this a live cd or a regular install? [04:51] eseven73: true very true [04:51] eseven73, yeah i figured, but i mentioned cups so i wasn't too sure [04:51] mdg: regular install via the cd they sent me in the mail [04:51] anyone done a software raid on ubuntu ? performance wise is it worth doing or should I get a card [04:51] Bear7809: i'm saying it might refresh the usplash and get it to work, not necessarily change it [04:52] any1 that can tell me what ubuntu version that work's best for games? [04:52] Bear7809: If its a live cd they sent, try booting from it once and see what happens [04:52] LtL: gotcha, ill try to do that. [04:52] mdg: so pop it in restart the compy and boot from the cd? [04:52] donavan: depends what you want to acheive [04:53] <\kira> How can I set the time via the command line? [04:53] Bear7809: Yes. Watch how it boots from the live cd and maybe you can catch where it is messing up. [04:53] \kira: date [04:53] I think that its the video card. Ubuntu works fine on my parents compy which has an NVidia card. [04:53] Bear7809: it wont hurt to changeit, i like xubuntu better myself, but i use ubuntu [04:53] <\kira> jp_sf: thanks [04:53] jp_sf: when i run lpoptions it tells me that outputorder=reverse [04:53] however it still prints the same direction === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [04:54] ive heard of a video safe mode. i bet i have to install the latest drivers for the card in ubuntu. im not so sure how to get that done or do the video safe mode. [04:54] itzhero: hum , must come from your config file [04:54] \kira: with the date command. man date [04:55] Hi, is there a LiveCD that I can use to stress-test my machine? Is there anything on the Ubuntu Live CD? Any recommendations? [04:55] Sorry all, had to help my dad... He's sick. Anyways, I still have no sound. I compiled ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2 , but cant getit to sudo make install. [04:55] Bear7809: You can pick safe from the boot menu that pops up when you run the cd [04:55] \kira: in other words mandate the date ;) [04:55] jp_sf, do I need to restart cups? [04:55] <\kira> LtL: :D [04:55] itzhero: edit /etc/cups/ppd/.ppd and set the Defaultoutputorder to reverse [04:56] jp_sf ... to be honest ... I don't really know ... kind of one of those things where I have a bunch of old hardware and I really want a raid array for the hell of it and the extra storage would be nice too ... but if its going to be stupid slow I am going to need to put it on other machine and network it to my main PC [04:56] <\kira> LtL: Just a question, though. Just after setting it, My screen turned itself off..... Im wondering if this is coincidence or if something happened there.... [04:56] can someone help with a python issue? [04:56] itzhero: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart [04:56] <\kira> LtL: because it happened like the second I hit the enter button === wesbuntu is now known as wesbuntoo [04:57] \kira: strange, probably time drift or something [04:57] How do I reinstall python? [04:57] <\kira> LtL: oh, that would make sense :) Thats kinda cool ;) [04:58] FrostWire is far away from BearShare it even gives a fake results alot === wesbuntoo is now known as wes === wes is now known as wes_\ [04:58] donavan: I never setup raid on a IDE or sata disk with a rpm of 7200, I usually do that on SCSI 10000 rpm with RAID 5 I never saw a slow down, it depends a lot of the hardisk, cache speed etc etc [04:59] passive1: is limewire [04:59] hi can someone help me with ubuntu not finding all available wireless networks [04:59] How do I reinstall python? (pythonpath is messed up) [04:59] \kira: best way to configure printers is from a browser http://localhost:631 [04:59] trying to run apt-get update via terminal but keep getting "failed to fetch" errors - any ideas what I can do? [04:59] pelao91, Now I am downloading limewire to see [04:59] <\kira> LtL: I dont want to configure printers... Thanks for the info, though ;) [04:59] im having a problem when trying to add a user [04:59] -bash: useradd: command not found [05:00] ok that is the best === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [05:00] Thanks guys, printer's working. How do I keep my motd file from changing back to the Ubuntu default? [05:00] <\kira> Deadboys: adduser is the command, I believe [05:01] jp_sf: yeah I know scsi is the way to go but I only have a few 4g scsi drives which is hardly worth it ... but I have some bigger IDEs Im not so much worried about the drives so much as how its going to hit my processor ... am I looking at some serious slowdown? [05:01] Hello... [05:01] Hi. [05:01] hola [05:01] \kira no it is useradd [05:01] Hello [05:01] What apps will I loose when I switch to Linux? [05:01] How is everyone...I have a quick question, hopefully you can help... [05:01] does anyone have any idea why useradd isnt working for me? [05:02] im logged in as root [05:02] lose* [05:02] Deadboys: are you running ubuntu? [05:02] Trikster I still use windows for photoshop, GIMP doesn't do it for me. [05:02] donavan: usually devs and people are the first to scream at hardisk performance I have usually checked throughly with sar (and ksar (for the nice graphic output)) I never saw a problem, your IDE controller might be abigger bottleneck, if you have the luxury try monitor it with sar (sysutils package) [05:02] What is the best podcast manager for ubuntu? [05:02] is there a log file for the "Leave Message" option when my screen is locked in X? [05:02] anyone else with a sony ericsson phone? Im having trouble getting ubuntu 8.10 to recognise my phone at all - even in usb mode.. [05:03] I can't get a screen resolution any higher than 1024 x 768 [05:03] CarlFK would i be in #ubuntu if i wasnt [05:03] mamaro, you mean that Linux doesn't have Photoshop? [05:03] I used to be able to get a resolution much higher than that... [05:03] Deadboys: how/why did you log in as root? [05:03] but then I tried to install the NVidia drivers for my video card and it didn't work.. [05:03] quick question, i am doing a dual boot, with two HD's. I'm getting ready to install Ubuntu. Should i have the HD with windows on it, the primary HD? or does it matter? [05:04] !dualboot [05:04] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:04] but I was unable to get any higher resolution than 1024 x 768.. [05:04] CarlFK i logged in my dedi as root because that is the only user i have at the moment [05:04] hence me trying to create another one [05:04] psycodad ubuntu will install a boot loader onto the primary drive by default to give you grub [05:04] (i think) [05:04] jp_sf: will do thanks ... one other question ... can I do a mirrored raid for to os drive ... I know in windows its a big no-no but can linux do this to make the OS a little snappier ? [05:05] Deadboys: What happens why you type "whereis adduser?" [05:05] Deadboys: dedi? [05:05] donavan windows can do it, my old windows system used to be raid0 [05:05] CarlFK Dedicated server [05:05] adduser: /etc/adduser.conf /usr/share/adduser /usr/share/man/man8/adduser.8.gz [05:05] thats what happens mdg [05:05] blah blah read that link [05:05] Deadboys: should be in sbin [05:05] Psyrix21: Linux don't require lot of spaces. I suppose you should save all your personal data / private data / only-god-know-what data on the second hard drive. [05:06] t94xr_laptop, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/306721 [05:06] Deadboys: mdg is right, or use the gui [05:06] <\kira> Deadboys: yep, its adduser [05:06] there is no data on the second HD, just finished formatting it [05:06] nickrud, thanks i'll take a look [05:06] LtL gui is not an option [05:06] donavan: on the same drive ? no don't do it [05:07] mdg how do go about fixing it just move to sbin? [05:07] CshadowsRun: was that a hardware raid ... or did they change something on me and I didnt catch it ... I know that as of server 2000 running any dynamic disk couldnt be done on the OS partition because of booting issues with the bios or something [05:07] Deadboys: What do you get when you type "who" [05:07] Deadboys: maybe you don't have /usr/sbin in your path? try /usr/sbin/adduser [05:07] lost my internet connection or so it seems in terminal can you help me check if I am still connected [05:07] jp_sf: 2 physical drives acting as one [05:07] jtaji no just file [05:07] I'm trying to apt-get install updated but keep getting error messages [05:07] Anyone know about fixing video resolution problems?? [05:08] did anyone answer my question? [05:08] mdg root pts/1 Jan 5 04:15 [05:08] then my ip and host [05:08] I asked what the best podcast manager is for ubuntu [05:08] marabout, try sudo apt-get -f install if it fails, put the complete output on http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:08] Deadboys: huh? [05:08] hello [05:08] sorry for the silly question but when I open my usb flash drive in ubuntu 8.10 and delete a file from the drive how much my space is not freed up? the only other way I know is to format the usb drive complete and I do not want to keep doing this [05:08] jtaji you asked a question i responded [05:08] provo, look for a .Trash folder on that drivve [05:08] Deadboys: then useradd is not in your path -- try /usr/sbin/adduser [05:09] im in root from recovery menu do i need to type 'sudo'? [05:09] when i tried /usr/sbin/adduser [05:09] Deadboys: then try /usr/sbin/adduser [05:09] marabout, are you sure the package name is updated ? I'm not showing it as existing (and no about sudo in recovery) === Wreck_away is now known as ShiftWreck [05:09] mdg i tried it [05:09] donavan: I wouldn't bother for the OS as it is the easiest things to recover but yes [05:09] Deadboys: youre missing the adduser in /usr/sbin/ try apt-get adduser [05:09] jack: i see it, i see the files and just tried to delete them but after i delete them they come back [05:10] provo: did the same thing ... dump the trash ... it still in the trash bin and still takes up space .... it got me too at first [05:10] soooooo im trying to connect ubuntu to my wireless network. and if i change my network to WEP security it can find it no problem but when its WPA2 it wont find it at all. [05:10] LtL it says i already have it [05:10] #surabaya [05:10] how can i remove it and reget it [05:10] donavan: so what can i do to get rid of these files without formatting the entire flash drive again? [05:10] Deadboys: your whereis output doesnt agree with you [05:10] jp_sf: I was actuall thinking of the performance boost no so much the recovery aspect [05:11] root@axis:~# whereis adduser [05:11] adduser: /etc/adduser.conf /usr/share/adduser /usr/share/man/man8/adduser.8.gz [05:11] provo just delete them and then empty your trash can [05:11] donavan: I think it will not be significant [05:11] it says i already have it when i typed apt-get install adduser [05:11] hckyplayer024: have you tried Wicd ? [05:12] jp_sf: yeah i am actually using Wicd now [05:12] Deadboys: that doesnt show the adduser binary, just the conf and man pages [05:12] nickrud: info pasted [05:12] marabout, I need the link :) [05:12] well its not letting me install it since it says i already have it [05:12] what should i do about that [05:12] sp_sf : thats what I was figuring but I wanted someone else to talk me down from jumping off the cliff [05:12] Deadboys: somehow its lost, force re-install w/apt-get [05:12] !unetbootin [05:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin [05:12] donovan: thanks i see how that works now.. silly me [05:12] <\kira> Deadboys: okay then. thats why im looking at the man page right now "adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system" [05:12] <\kira> Deadboys: Exact quote [05:12] nickrud: not accessing irc from that machine as it is not ready trying to get ubuntu onto it [05:13] <\kira> Deadboys: I just answered your question! [05:13] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100056/ [05:13] <\kira> Deadboys: I just added a user to my system, just to be double sure [05:13] <\kira> can anyone read this, or is my internet messed up again? [05:13] <\kira> CarlFK: you can log in as root via sudo su, or sudo passwd to change the password [05:13] LtL how do i force re-install [05:13] <\kira> can anybody read this? [05:13] \kira: i am reading it [05:13] Deadboys: let me look [05:14] Does anyone know a reverse VNC server for ubuntu? [05:14] devices.txt calls (217,0) /dev/curf0 a "callout device for rfcomm0". What is a 'callout device'? [05:14] a vnc client, you mean? [05:14] cafuego no i mean a reverse VNC server [05:14] provo: don't feel bad it pissed me off for 20 mins or so first time I tried it [05:14] nickrud: was the link valid? [05:14] cafuego that is, a server that connects to a client in order to traverse a NAT [05:14] marabout, are you sure that's the complete name of the package? apt-cache search updated shows no package updated here, and I have good sources [05:15] CShadowRun: I shouldn't think so. [05:15] cafuego ? [05:15] CShadowRun: Is this why we tunnel over ssh. [05:15] Deadboys: try sudo apt-get install adduser --reinstall [05:15] CShadowRun: only if the other end click on a file [05:15] nickrud: no im probably wrong - just trying to update which I assume is just apt-get update - correct [05:15] CShadowRun: otherwise I don't know [05:15] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [05:16] jp_sf yes the other end can install and do simple things [05:16] jp_sf i'm just trying to help a friend and don't want to go through port forwarding. [05:16] hello how to burn a movie?so that I could play it to my dvdcd component player [05:16] marabout, yes. you typed updated :) apt-get update will update any packages that have new releases, if you're on the net [05:16] Deadboys: i may have that syntax out of order [05:16] it installed [05:16] CShadowRun: I did that with x11vnc, but I did a port forwarding on my end [05:16] well [05:16] it started to [05:16] then i got that message [05:17] Deadboys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:17] jp_sf yes, exactly!, port forwarding at my end so the client can connect to me [05:17] jp_sf how did you do it? :) [05:17] nickrud: you saw the link it does not appear to me that I am connected how can I check my connection? [05:17] LtL should i just do a fresh install of Ubuntu? [05:18] how to burn an 651MB .avi movie into the blank cd?I tried to use gnome and brasero even k3b but no options for burning video... [05:18] marabout, hm, brain fart. apt-get update gets the latest list of packages, apt-get upgrade gets any that have upgrades available. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will do the trick [05:18] or Debian acctually since ubuntu gives me so many problems [05:18] How do I configure X to use the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver? I have it installed, but changed to fglrx driver to see if there would be a difference in perfomance. I was wrong. -_- [05:18] how do i make wget download in the background? doing this doesn't work. wget -x -nH http://www.something.com > /dev/null &, this still outputs the whole download progress [05:18] CShadowRun: Port forwarding is what you do on your router/gateway. You forward port XXX to the vnc port on the target server. [05:18] marabout, ifconfig will show any network connections. If you're in recovery mode, you would have to connect manually [05:19] marabout, unless you've created a network config file, /etc/network/interfaces with the proper options [05:19] CShadowRun: yes so you do TCP port forward on your router port 5500 to the internal IP you want (of your computer I assume)install x11vnc on the other end at the friend linux then on your computer don't forget to vncviewer - listen 0 and that's it the remote friend needs to type x11vnc - connect your.current.ip:5500 [05:19] yaris1234567890: it does run in the background, but you forgot the -q flag for no output. [05:19] ohhhh [05:19] wow, there's a lot of ppl on here.. [05:19] jp_sf thank you, exactly what i wanted *hug* [05:19] wget -x -q -nH http://www.something.com > /dev/null & ? [05:20] nickrud: no I have not created a network config file - what msg in the ifconfig output will indicate that I am connected [05:21] CShadowRun: you are welcome one thing though, it is quite often that people scan IP so when you don't need it put your firewall on [05:21] Does anyone here have one of those pre-installed ubuntu's on a Dell laptop (maybe an inspiron 1525)... if so could you show me your xorg.conf please? :D [05:21] I have a question: I have mplayer and I run it through x11, but it never plays properly. :( any suggestions? [05:21] jp_sf don't worry, i'm running a FreeBSD firewall, ;) [05:21] Deadboys: no i don't think thats needed. hang on [05:21] or tunnel vnc over ssh, so it cna't be sniffed either [05:21] cryptnix: I have intrepid running on a latidude D630. will that do? [05:22] LtL i got it sorted out [05:22] thanks though [05:22] marabout, it formats as stanzas; lo is the loopback (internal machine) net, you most likely would have an eth0 stanza, with inet addr xx.xx.xx.xx in the second line of it. [05:22] CShadowRun: ipf is fine on your router or your machine ? [05:22] tbonechic, if your talking to me, then does that use GM965 / X3100 intel graphics?# [05:22] jp_sf i use pfSense on one of my old boxes, set it up last week :) [05:22] marabout>Can you ping your router or gateway? [05:22] CShadowRun: I change the config on my router when it is not needed [05:23] cyorxamp: no. leme chek [05:23] jp_sf yes i also do that, so no worries, i know my way around :) [05:23] nickrud: "Link encap: Local loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1" is some of what the text read [05:23] hi guys any one now how to use the net sharing tool for iphone with ubuntu? [05:23] CShadowRun: one thing you want to look also is port knocking it is quite useful [05:23] hello ... [05:24] Would it be unwise to install Unreal IRCD 3.2.7 as root? [05:24] having problems with restricted drivers 177 [05:24] marabout, yeah, that's the internal network. It doesn't see the internet. another stanza will show your connection to a router 192.xx.xx.xx most likely [05:24] any good URL that really shows how to resolve the xorg issu [05:24] e [05:24] cyorxamp: it's a GM965/GL960 intel graphics card. [05:25] tbonechic, thats the one :D [05:25] would that be of any help [05:25] woot! [05:25] Deadboys: you need to be root/sudo to install ircd [05:25] what is it that u need? [05:25] tbonechic, the same 8.04 that came with it? [05:25] Deadboys, install as root, but run it as a non-privileged user, the config probably has provisions for that [05:25] nickrud: -- next info is mask no other info beyond RX, TX ,etc is shwoing. BTW my goal on irc is to get help to wipe the existing 8.10 which isnt working and install Hardy via Live CD [05:26] cyorxamp: no, I installed it via LiveCD and upgraded to Intrepid [05:26] there isnt any provisions like that in the config for it [05:26] would it be bad to run as root? [05:26] Can anyone help me set up a bi-directional nat? [05:26] Nickrud: since I assume I cannot connect to Net this way since I have not set up a network config file as you mentioned previously correct? [05:26] i there a way i can save my files to some kind of internet drive. i used gmail on ubuntu [05:26] Deadboys: just install/edit config and start as root. [05:26] is* [05:26] marabout, simply boot up the cd and run the install on the same partition as the 8.10 install. Part of the default install is wiping out whatever was on the partition already :) [05:26] Any news if they fixed the problem with the nvidia 177 drivers. everytime i try to activate it when i reboot just goes to a text screen [05:27] tbonechic, might be worth a look anyway, just wondered if I could looksie at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [05:27] Deadboys: once installed, use your ircd pass for priveleges [05:27] sure thing. I'll msg u what I have once I copy it ^_^ [05:27] Deadboys, almost certainly [05:27] tbonechic, pop it in a nopate [05:27] nickrud: i was hoping to use 8.04 alternate but after downloading it was 800+mb and can fit that on the cd's I have... [05:27] LtL what do you mean by that [05:27] cyorxamp: ...? [05:28] tbonechic, http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:28] what's the best way to restart nautilus without logging in and out again? [05:28] or rebooting [05:28] wow i got banned from centos for ignoring an annoying fart [05:28] !offtopic | yaris1234567890 [05:28] yaris1234567890: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:28] marabout, something wrong with your download; the alternate iso is 699 mb [05:28] Deadboys: give yourself an O-line with htpasswd and ip in ircd.conf edit that file carefully [05:28] marabout:Is you network interface wired of wifi? [05:29] Deadboys: just read the ircd.conf carefully. [05:29] Oh i didnt realise you were talking about that im very familiar to unreal ircd was just wondering if running it as root would cause any security issues [05:29] during the cli's hardware detecting portion, it's sitting at 0%, and the screen has gone black, then gone white, then back to the hardware installation screen, and now it's all black with two lines that just say 'illed' at bottom [05:29] Can anyone tell me how to install GD gfx toolkit on current ubuntu? I'm a *nix newb but have managed the whole LAMP stack but I guess GD is separate. [05:30] anyone know what just happened to my install? [05:30] Deadboys, running internet facing processes as root is dangerous; for example apache runs a www-data. But LtL obviously knows how unreal handles that security. [05:30] ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers [05:30] Deadboys: it will be a root owned process thats all. [05:30] join #makassar [05:30] nickrud: yes I am using wifi [05:31] marabout, if at all possible, wire up during the alternate install. It's much easier that way. [05:31] one more question can you give me the full syntax of the adduser command [05:31] or rebooting [05:31] what's the best way to restart nautilus without logging in and out again? [05:31] or rebooting [05:31] ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers [05:31] dft, alt-f2 killall nautilus ; it should restart automatically [05:32] nickrud: you are referring to the machine I am going to install on Yes?

I have it installed, but changed to fglrx driver to see if there would be a difference in perfomance. I was wrong. -_- [05:33] nickrud: so just exit root pop in Hardy CD and reboot making sure Hardy Cd is the boot CD?

I do not need an enterprise setup [05:34] Hey guys... I somehow created a hardlink to a directory... and now I cannot remove it. Is there a way?

We'll I've got either 7.1 or 8.10 and 8.10 wont display graphics after the install - what do you suggest? [05:38] Wicked: Use a netboot..... [05:38] !install > Wicked (there are some non-cdrom techniques here) [05:38] Wicked, please see my private message [05:38] orkan, like i said, which you ignored. its not possible for it to be a hard link. you can't hard link directories [05:38] do [05:38] although I can rename the actual folder no problem [05:38] i want to make an image consist of ubunto base files and certain more voip applications. if user wants to install it from cd, and then the installation should go smoothly and automatically. can i see how to doc?

PXEBOOT... [05:39] devices.txt calls (217,0) /dev/curf0 a "callout device for rfcomm0". What is a 'callout device'? [05:39] Wicked: It is a method of booting a device from a network server.... [05:39] marabout, ah, chrome9. I have had really bad luck helping people with that in intrepid ;( [05:39] HermanDE, hmm..im not sure i understand what u are saying. [05:39] Wicked: Then installing from the server... [05:40] Wicked: Most newer systems have the ability to boot from the network. [05:40] Hey folks, is there any way to unmount a partition that uses /home as mountpoint? [05:40] um, whoever needed the backup on CD/DVD, I think this might help: http://tinyurl.com/862ozm [05:40] HermanDE, yea. i know what a netinstall is. but im wondering if it provides what i need. [05:40] Wicked: As well as booting from a USB device.... [05:40] nickrud: ive seen problems listed that is why i was trying to go with hardy alternate [05:41] It always tells me that it's used by some processes, but obviously I can't kill all of them :) [05:41] Wicked: Full install without the use of a cdrom...

[05:42] So I am still hoping for some help.... anyone? [05:42] how do i go about making my server install run a script/run a program on boot?? [05:43] marabout, or maybe not that exact thread, but many of them. [05:43] nickrud: so that wont work either I take it? [05:43] Foncy: Have you tried setting the partition to Read only first? [05:43] Hello? [05:43] man java just gives me lot of help info [05:43] marabout, it can be done. People have done it, but I've not had luck helping with it is all I'm saying [05:43] Err, no, how do I do that, HermanDE? [05:43] nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for commenting. === sleepy_cat is now known as goku [05:43] it does not give me any inof on the version [05:44] joljam: Do you see where it talks about the version? === goku is now known as dbz_vegita [05:44] nope [05:45] joljam: mount partitionname -o remount,ro [05:45] Uh, that was for me, right? [05:45] nickrud: we'll I'm going to try via 7.1 and see what that gives me. no harm in that I suppose? [05:45] Foncy: Yep.... [05:45] marabout, heh. Not like it costs anything :) [05:45] joljam: man java [05:46] joljam: Search for "version". [05:46] joljam: use the forward slash, type in "version", press enter... Press "N" for the next find.... [05:47] joljam: type java -version [05:47] HermanDE, "/home is currently in use"... that's all I get. [05:47] Foncy: use lsof to find what is currently in use....

[05:48] HermanDE, I used fuser -m to find that out, and it's processes that I just can't kill, like the gnome-panel.. [05:48] has anyone tried using grisbi on ubuntu? [05:48] ougs: Serial cable..... [05:48] I just can't get tha partition not to be used. [05:48] cyorxamp: I think the reason I don't have anything is because xserver-conf isn't installed--which may solve my other problem... [05:48] Hi - Just installed a HP LaserJet 1020 - Ibex found it right away when turned on but will not print a test page - Do I need to do a restart of computer ? ? [05:48] That's my problem [05:49] Foncy: did you set the partition to READ ONLY? [05:49] anyone know why hardware detection on the ubuntu minimal cd would be screwing up? [05:49] Foncy: or did it error out when you tried to set it... [05:49] No... that's why I asked you earlier how I do that, HermanDE... [05:49] And then I did what you told me, and it told me that /home is currently in usw. [05:49] !printer [05:49] use [05:49] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[05:50] it says 'detecting hardware, please wait' and never gets past 0%, and the screen keeps flasdhing black while it's doing it [05:50] and it's saying 'killed' [05:50] Foncy: check your mount command. Are there any flags set on the partition? [05:50] how do i go about making my server install run a script/run a program on boot?? [05:50] WastePotato, can you paste bin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [05:50] HermanDE, you mean like "boot", "lba" etc? [05:51] Foncy: Then use lsof and filter for your home partition.... [05:51] No flags there. [05:51] BenWhitey: Do you mean from startup? [05:51] Foncy: The flags would be something like ro,rw, and possibly masks.. [05:51] yes [05:52] Anyone converted avchd-files with success? I'd need some help [05:52] nite_johnboy: whip open a browser type http://localhost:631 to test your printer [05:52] K. [05:52] Foncy: and may include noexec, nosudo....

[05:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/100075/ [05:54] HermanDE, okaaaaaaaaaaaaay... so HOW do I set the partition to read-only? [05:54] Foncy: mount (mount or partition name) -o remount,ro [05:54] how to find if tdom is packaged for ubuntu and what versions are in what version of ubuntu [05:54] Obviously I can't do that if the partition is used, soooo I have to make it not being used first, before I can tell processes only to read, right? [05:54] Oh my... [05:54] Okay, I repeat slowly: [05:55] Foncy, why not just kill the processes? [05:55] hi there, I just upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, now all of the tooltip popup windows are black, this seems to be independent of compiz, any ideas? [05:55] It doesnt work! [05:55] Because the partition is USED [05:55] thanks !!! [05:55] nickrud, because unfortunately some of the processes restart themselves after killing, like the gnome-panel ofc... =/ [05:55] Foncy: Usually, a remount,ro will work fine.... [05:55] look at fuser to see what process use a partition [05:55] HermanDE, maybe, but it doesn't. [05:55] From Startup: I do not know if this is what you wanted, but is close: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-33615.html [05:55] Can't help it, I'd love to. [05:55] Foncy: What is the process locking the drive? [05:56] Foncy, then log out of gnome, and work from a console [05:56] what is it you're trying to do exactly? [05:56] WastePotato, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100076/ [05:56] Foncy: Are you working from within X? [05:56] WastePotato, try that change... [05:56] HermanDE, many of them.. like gnome-panel (3rd time I mention this now) [05:56] Foncy, you'll have to log in as root, probably, to not have any processes accessing any partitions under /home [05:56] Foncy: Are you working from a non root account? [05:57] HermanDE, X? [05:57] Foncy: kill -9? [05:57] Foncy: Geeze, Ok, I got here late.... [05:57] HermanDE, yes... but sudo su, and then umount doesn't work either. [05:57] Where is the pastebin at?> [05:57] Foncy: gnome has a really nice database locking system.... [05:57] Foncy, you're trying to unmount the partition mounted as /home ? [05:57] foncy what is it you're trying to do exactly? [05:57] nickrud: can you tell me what deleting the "quiet splash" does when installing from CD [05:57] I have just installed ubuntu and installed the restricted drivers for a 9500 GT video card, which upon reboot, no more gui, start x don't work. Anyone able to help? [05:58] marabout, it gets rid of the moving bar during bootup, and shows all the kernel boot messages on the screen [05:58] nickrud, exactly, because I want to take some space from it for a new partition. [05:58] I am in need of a LINUX restricted driver WIZARD [05:58] nickrud: you remember what you did for me the other day? [05:58] Foncy: you need to be at the command line.... [05:58] foncy: try killing X, and logging in as root. [05:58] Foncy: without XWindows running.... [05:58] php_wizardry: try 'startx' [05:58] Foncy: And without GNOME.... [05:58] already did [05:58] Foncy, you'll need to boot into recovery mode and work from there, or use a root account if you've enabled it, or use a live cd [05:58] is it possible to install linux on a usb hdd [05:58] php_wizardry, not positively ;) [05:58] WastePotato, go it? [05:59] in such a way tht when the comp is started it gives an option to boot from the USB HDD [05:59] How would I give myself permission to create this directory? Command: MKD /var/www/lib/inc [05:59] Response: 550 Create directory operation failed. [05:59] lol, i reinstalled ubuntu, went to 32bit because of some probs with the 64bit [05:59] nickrud, got a Live-CD here, so I boot from there and then resize the partition? [05:59] Oh. [05:59] figured it out, thanks [05:59] now need to reinstall the driver for my vid. card again [05:59] sloopy: Yeah. Thanks. :) [05:59] Foncy, that works, especially if you want to use gparted [05:59] Foncy: Yep, that is the best way... [05:59] WastePotato, let me know how it works === dbz_vegita is now known as c_webkit [05:59] Foncy what kind of partition is it [05:59] php_wizardry, heh. That doesn't narrow it down much [06:00] file system on the partition [06:00] Perfect... see guys, THAT'S what I call a helpful answer :P [06:00] nsadmin, ext3 [06:00] php_wizardry, no offense meant, I prefer to stay in mainline [06:00] ! pastebin [06:00] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:00] Foncy: you're tending to not provide info when beind asked... it takes two to tango [06:00] nickrud: i have that 9500GT video card, and when I enabled the 177 restricted driver, it crashed my gui on reboot [06:01] nickrud: now stuck at command prompt [06:01] php_wizardry, ah, that I remember I think [06:01] So far I answered every question, most of them three times because I was asked three times :( [06:01] Foncy: you're trying to increase or decrease /home? [06:01] decrease [06:01] nickrud: do you remember the commands to fix it? [06:01] nickrud: and the acpi=off noacpi nolacpi stuff can you tell me what that means in relation to my situation with via chrome9? [06:01] php_wizardry, you're the guy with two video cards, right? [06:01] yea [06:01] ok, how do you normally log in? do you see a graphical screen or a text? [06:01] Like I said before.. [06:01] nickrud: yea [06:01] Graphical screen [06:02] I type in my loginname and the password [06:02] marabout, not really. I've never had to use those for my machine so I've never really looked into what they do, exactly [06:02] ok, then here's what you do... [06:02] I'm listening :) [06:02] first, install a text irc client like irssi or bitchx [06:02] php_wizardry, add BusID "2:0:0" to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:02] And taking notes.. [06:02] nickrud: how do I query the bot? [06:02] marabout, /msg ubottu factoid [06:03] How would I give the user account permission to create a directory in "/var/www/?" I receive a failed to MK DIR in the ftp client. [06:03] marabout, that will open a new dialog window you can continue to talk to ubottu. There, you don't use the ! at the beginning of the factoid [06:03] nickrud: was that all i had to do chief? [06:03] blah569: add it to the www-data group, maybe that do it [06:03] blah569: Which ftp server are you using? [06:03] Which would be another load of commands I need to learn in order to use the program :( [06:03] let me see... [06:03] php_wizardry, yep. All that messing around, that's all that was needed. X was trying to use the onboard chip [06:03] you'll have to come back here as root [06:03] what can I use to do a drive confidence test ? [06:04] nickrud: thanks man, thank god one of us remembered :P [06:04] nsadmin, so you think nickruds idea won't work? [06:04] php_wizardry, I've used our long, drawn out troubleshooting as an example of how not asking the right question is FAIL on my part :) [06:04] I don't know :) [06:04] donavan: Download a builders drive test disk..... Maxtor, WD, Seagate...etc... [06:04] lol [06:04] probably it will but I didn't see his idea [06:04] HermanDE: vftpd or something similar to that name. [06:04] I think I'm going to try that first, sounds a lot easier. [06:04] ty again [06:05] nsadmin, Foncy heh. Just download the gparted Live CD and use that :) [06:05] I was thinking maybe he didn't want to reboot [06:05] is there a ftp program that automaticly syncs folder with server? [06:05] She does want to reboot a million times if necessary :) [06:05] the sound on my computer has stoped working, when I boot off the CD it goes OK. how can I get it to work again ? [06:05] so she doesn't care about that, ok [06:05] Foncy: There are a couple of CD based distros that are designed for things like resizing partitions..... [06:06] HermanDE, orly? [06:06] :) [06:06] * nickrud looks at deciphering parted's command line switches, vs reboot. HAAHAHAHA [06:06] Foncy: Yep.... Kind of like a free partition magic thing.... [06:06] Exactly nickrud :D [06:06] HermanDE, we are at that point already in this conversation. [06:06] Foncy: do you have any interest in trying lvm? [06:06] LtL; That is real nice - Tried doing another test page from URL and screen justs blinks a half a millisecond and does not do print job - Using HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended) driver. [06:06] lvm? [06:07] hermande: yeah I have a bunch of them on various cds but I was hoping for a linux based util that I can run on the OS rather than having to reboot the machine and hookup the drive to an IDE port right now I have it connected to a USB connector [06:07] it's a way to make this whole process easier in the future [06:07] nite_johnboy: from the command line type: ls |lpr [06:07] but it would be hard to set up if you're already running [06:07] Foncy: I'm slow...... http://gparted.sourceforge.net/news.php [06:08] hello [06:08] !sound neil_d [06:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about sound neil_d [06:08] how to find if tdom is packaged for ubuntu and what versions are in what version of ubuntu [06:08] !sound | neil_d [06:08] neil_d: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:08] nsadmin: use your package manager [06:08] nickrud: I think that ubottu dude need to go back to school He didn't understand a thing I was talking about. LOL [06:08] Back. No dice. [06:09] i am running latest Ubuntu, but with latest kernel and am getting a crash in what seems to be e1000 module, what channel should I try o try and ifgure this out? [06:09] I'm running debian, I want to find out for ubuntu [06:09] nsadmin: http://packages.ubuntu.com [06:09] marabout, it should give you a link to a web site you can search. The bot is useful, if you already know what it's been taught [06:09] nsadmin, the most rocky way isn't always the hardest for me. I think saying what way is the easiest depends on the users knowledge, and mine isn't exactly huge... :) [06:10] WastePotato: if you want to use the free ati driver, you can just remove your xorg.conf [06:10] WastePotato: though i'd recommend renaming it, of course [06:10] LtL; Not getting return of anything - just comes back to comp. name@comp.name-desktop: blink blink < no output > [06:10] nite_johnboy: also in menu: click system - prefs - set default printer [06:10] Foncy: Everybody needs to destroy a fixed number of partitions before lessons turn to wisdom..... [06:10] LtL; 1st thing I tried. [06:11] does anyone know the name of the package that contains the openssl development libraries [06:11] Foncy: In my case I think I'm up to about 30 or 35... The wisdom has yet to arrive..... [06:11] im trying to install it via aptget and i cant remember the name of it [06:11] HermanDE, that would be awful! I installed and reinstalled Ubuntu a lot of times already, but never lost any data. [06:11] LtL; System-Preferences - that is.... [06:11] Foncy: I'm talking about resizing live partitions..... [06:11] its not openssl-dev does anyone know what it is? [06:11] Deadboys: libssl-dev, i think [06:12] alright thanks [06:12] thats it raylu [06:12] i remembered it was somthing -dev [06:12] Okay strange problem with Ubuntu that I can't figure out. When I hook up my external USB creative sound card it will only play audio for events where I hover the cursor over a ogg or mp3 file. Other than that sound only comes from the laptop speakers. I've been through every setting in Preferences -> Sound to no available. Also the sound is only in Mono and in volume control when I select the USB sound device I only have one PCM slide [06:12] italian????????? [06:12] r. Any thoughts? [06:12] thanks again [06:12] nite_johnboy: try system - admin - new printer or have you already? [06:12] would appreciate some help, how can i change the gnome panel font? all the forum topics etc i google'd looked out of date <-2007.. [06:12] Foncy: With the right backup, it's easy to recover.... [06:12] !it | trolls [06:12] trolls: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [06:12] xfs is going to get shrink support, right now it doesn't have it, but when it does you can shrink or grow live with the partition mounted [06:13] nickrud, Live_CD is burning atm... so I just boot from that CD and use gparted as usual? [06:13] Foncy, yep. [06:13] bobbie4: to set a default sound device, i think you have to edit the indicies in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [06:13] is there an australian room for ubuntu? [06:13] Gee, that's so sweet. [06:14] Thanks in advance nickrud, for hope :D [06:14] darren_: Isn't this a South African room? [06:14] !au | darren_ [06:14] l8rz! [06:14] darren_: The Australian Local Community Team has channels here on Freenode. They are #ubuntu-au for technical discussion, and #ubuntu-au-chat for social chatter. [06:14] darren_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam [06:14] Alright, I'm going to test it right away... see you in a couple of minutes if you're interested in the result guys. ;) [06:15] nickrud: :( [06:15] Foncy: Have fun... [06:15] php_wizardry, what? [06:15] I hopefully will. [06:15] brb [06:15] Foncy: And remember... Data is imaginary..... [06:15] nickrud: that wasn't it [06:15] nickrud: if I wanted to specify boot parameters I would stick in the line after "quiet splash"? [06:15] nickrud:still not working [06:15] marabout: you shouldn't edit those. edit defoptions instead [06:16] php_wizardry, I know :) But you left before I remembered. sudo apt-get install nvidial-glx-177 , and add Driver "nvidia" to the Device Section [06:16] marabout: if you're running grub, the kernel command line would be in /boot/grub/menu.lst (default place) [06:16] lol [06:16] LtL; Yes tried that as well - not sure what's going on here - What about the nothing returned from shell command ? [06:17] marabout, yes. The proper method is to add it to the line that starts with # defoptions , then sudo apt-get update-grub. That will make sure those are added to the kernel line properly with each kernel upgrade [06:17] nickrud: no apt-get [06:17] i'll try raylu [06:17] it would add them to each kernel [06:17] nickrud: sorry, i was in vista and am right now, so i will have to leave and go back to ubuntu, will have this written down this time, ty again [06:17] raylu, heh. This is why I don't normally help more than one at a time :) marabout just sudo update-grub [06:17] nite_johnboy: the shell cmd was to test the line printer daemon, google for the correct driver or check hardware compat lists. i dunno [06:17] I plunkered some KDE stuff into this install, should I remove it, and if so,,how? [06:17] php_wizardry, no problem [06:18] nickrud: so if I want to input this "boot: live vga=771 noapic nolapic where do I need to input that? bypass the install screen somehow? can you explain plz [06:18] nickrud: btw, how can you connect to wifi through command prompt? [06:18] nickrud: installing nvidia-glx should install nvidia-glx-177 and later versions [06:18] nickrud: F6 other options? [06:18] nickrud: and you shouldn't have to add the driver yourself to xorg.conf [06:18] raylu, thanks. [06:18] raylu, the install of the driver does that, alone? [06:19] Does ubuntu come with helvetica fonts? [06:19] marabout oh, that's the live cd? [06:19] nickrud: i don't remember. but if it doesn't, nvidia-xconfig does it for you [06:19] nsadmin: yes 7.1 [06:19] raylu, the issue was he couldn't even get to a gui without the nvidia driver, the nv doesn't support his card [06:20] marabout, I'm not sure how you would save those options to a live cd [06:20] any ideas on the gnome panel font? gnome channels real quiet :P also my in built 4-1card reader doesn't appear at all, any ideas? [06:20] marabout, save for a live cd? You can't [06:20] but if you have linux installed, then you could alter the boot loader config file [06:20] raylu: what you suggested looks promising, but I'll have to learn 'Linux' first. I can't understand a single thing in that file. [06:20] nsadmin: usage of a USB device... [06:20] marabout, but for just editing the kernel line, yes at the end of quiet splash [06:20] mikebot: try installing msttcorefonts package [06:21] *grins* [06:21] !sound | bobbie4 [06:21] bobbie4: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:21] Didn't work yet. [06:21] LtL: Thanks. Will they be useable in gimp? [06:21] HermanDE: so it's a live usb stick? [06:21] Didn't want to boot from the Live-CD :( [06:21] bobbie4: there should be a driver with the word "usb" in it. set it to 0 or 1 [06:21] Foncy: What happened.... [06:21] nsadmin: 8.10 is there beneath but it wont load correctly (graphics probs -via chrome9 hc igp [06:21] thank you raylu I'll look there [06:21] bobbie4: or pastebin that file for me (i don't have it handy) [06:21] LtL: I already have the newest version.. [06:21] nsadmin: Some live distros allow saving settings to a usb device.... [06:21] oic [06:22] nickrud:generic vesa mostly gives a basic (gui-able) solution for configuration [06:22] mikebot: i kinda doubt it, search in synaptic for gimp packages [06:22] nickrud: so no reason to remove "quiet splash" just type after it? [06:22] marabout, yes [06:22] HermanDE, I tried to boot from the gparted-Live CD, went to the boot menu, chose the drive, hit Return, but all that happend was Ubuntu starting.... [06:22] +e [06:22] Foncy: Now you have me interested... I've used that disk a few times....... [06:22] I'll boot it here.... [06:23] Im trying again, brb [06:23] nirik: the system is locking the root access on console, and flashing blue screen [06:23] Foncy, HermanDE: why are you using a gparted live cd? what's wrong with gparted on ubuntu? [06:23] LtL; When I checked URL page again I clicked on "Show all jobs " and it shows printer name HP Laserjet - 1020 - 4,5,6,7,8,9 - consecutively after each test print - When I click on " Show active jobs " - It shows none. So they do not seem to stuck in a que - but just not going through with job. - Will close everything down and try a restart - not sure what else to do at this point.... [06:23] DasEi, does vesa support the 9500gt? not sure myself. Anyway, we came at his solution the first time (since he couldn't get a gui at all) by adding the driver stuff manually, then finally discovering he had two video cards and we needed to add the BusID. [06:23] how do i hardcode dns servers into ubuntu 8.04 from CLI? I want to get IP and netmask from DHCP but DNS record to stay the same all the time? [06:23] LtL: Thanks. G'night! [06:23] nite_johnboy: ive had that problem and it kinda fixed itself [06:24] nirik: passwd --lock root &> /dev/null [06:24] syn-fin: /etc/network/interfaces, though you're better off using NetworkManager [06:24] syn-fin: maybe you can configure your dhcp client [06:24] nickrud:should work as a (emergency) solution [06:24] LtL; Thank you for your help. Appreciate it. [06:24] can u read this? [06:24] to not supply dns servers [06:24] presdec: no [06:24] nickrud:ibex ? [06:24] nite_johnboy: welcome [06:24] presdec: I can't read at all [06:24] lol, ok guess that's ok then :) [06:24] DasEi, yes. X tried to use the onboard chip [06:24] LtL; Will work on it awhile - maybe restart will be the Cure All - ??? [06:25] raylu: I like specalized tools. I have too much experience using general toolkits and toasting drives...... [06:25] DasEi, I've used our long, drawn out troubleshooting as an example of how not asking the right question is FAIL on my part :) [06:25] nickrud:hm, monitor onboard, then via gui, harwaredrivers ?? [06:25] raylu, im using network manager byt every 30 minutes or so DNS goes back to old one [06:25] HermanDE: you realize that gparted on any cd is going to be the same, right? [06:25] DasEi, didn't follow that [06:25] syn-fin: yeah. network manager is kinda hit or miss [06:26] syn-fin: it's just that when it misses, you wonder how it managed to screw up so bad [06:26] raylu: Sure, but the kernel and associated libraries will be different.... [06:26] raylu: You do realize that gparted is dependent on the libraries located in the distribution? [06:26] HermanDE: it really will make no difference at all. the one on the gparted cd isn't "better" [06:26] nickrud:if hal first initializes the onboard (most bioses let it set you), you could use that to get to the dek-gui, then use system> hardwaredrivers to configure the slot-one [06:27] raylu, do you know what to type in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 to use 1.1.1.1 as dns? [06:27] raylu: Ok, You have your way, I have mine.... [06:27] how can i find which device my 4in1 is? [06:27] ougs: Serial cable..... Only USB available [06:27] syn-fin: "man interfaces" may help you [06:27] i'm guessing it'd be a usb hub? or not? [06:27] presdec: sudo fdisk -l ?? [06:28] no good, it's not there :S [06:28] ougs: Sounds like a fun challenge.... [06:28] its there amd 45nm processors? [06:28] ougs: It sounds like you need a small distro that would automagically setup the ethernet as well as ssh..... === Mud|dev is now known as Mud [06:28] DasEi, ah, I think I follow you there. A lot of the gui stuff is black magic to me. The whole reason I use linux is having text file configs I can edit. I'm of two minds about the abstraction that's going on now. [06:29] raylu, hm man interfaces | grep dns , does not return anything :( [06:29] DasEi, but if X is trying to use a card that's not hooked up to a monitor, well, there's only one way to get around it that I know of [06:30] Hello all, I have a problem with Update Manager not being able to install updates, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/100088/ [06:30] DasEi, udev gives me hives, and now hal is on top of that [06:30] nickrud:especially on ibex (xorg 7.4) same with me, but you can still editt xorg.conf manually; had to do the same (onboard/slot, ibex) [06:30] How do I give the account permission to create a new directory in? /var/www/ ? It has permission to create files but not directories. [06:31] hello how to hide the users from the desktop?the users will just type there username and pass in order to login. [06:31] syn-fin: grep -i? also, instead of grepping man pages, consider using / to search [06:31] DasEi, but we're getting offtopic for support; meta discussions about support should have it's own channel l;) [06:31] nickrud: 7.1 choked worse than 8.10 - is there way to find out what settings the installer intrepid used and plug them in somewhere so that they can be used upon reboot? [06:32] nickrud:hal is a nice idea to get faster (kernel-implementation, no modules), but as I said, you can often configure default graphic-card in bios > hal takes that up [06:32] nickrud:yo [06:32] DasEi, yeah, he couldn't [06:32] Don_Miguel: on the off chance it's been fixed, sudo aptitude clean [06:32] Don_Miguel: or just remove the file yourself [06:32] marabout, I don't know, but others that come through here may [06:33] what's a 4in1 [06:33] nickrud: ok [06:33] nsadmin: any ideas on the via chrome9 hc igp graphics issue on hardy and/or intrepid? [06:33] oh, if you think it's a usb thing, try lsusb [06:33] nickrud:back to support, a chance is to have displayconfig-gtk from hardy write a xorg.conf and copy that to hardy [06:33] DasEi, for marabout ? [06:33] marabout: maybe there are drivers in later kernels [06:33] hi - need php advice, installed lamp and now trying a test.php, firefox shows this: ?php echo “Hello World”; ? , is that what is supposed to happen? [06:34] nickrud:haven't followed whos 9500 gt it was [06:34] Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my fileserver/torrentbox. I moved stuff around my room, including the server, and now it is not connecting to my router...I do not know where to start troubleshooting. If someone could help me that would be just AWESOME! By the way, I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1 on it. [06:34] is that what your page has? [06:34] DasEi, ah, marabout has a chrome 9, php_wizard had the 9500gt [06:34] itai-michaelson: sounds like you didn't install php. what package did you install? [06:34] nsadmin: my page? [06:35] remu: wired ethernet? [06:35] raylu, lamp [06:35] raylu, I have tried to remove the file but my not have done so correctly. Is there more to that "sudo aptitude clean" ?? [06:35] blah569 sudo chmod -rwx [06:35] nickrud:yo, stopping here for ot :) === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:35] Question: how can i reduce the lag when i fullscreen videos [06:35] itai-michaelson: er... what? [06:35] nsadmin, yes, wired ethernet, i have tried different ethernet cables as well. Neither works. [06:35] Don_Miguel: no [06:35] DwightShroot: video card, video player? [06:35] raylu, sorry sudo tasksel install lamp-server [06:36] ok, probably it's not the cables [06:36] raylu, OK I'll try that now ... [06:36] do you have a nat setup? and do you have a machine acting as gateway? a ubuntu box? [06:36] im streaming the videos, can i witch them to my vlc [06:36] and btw, I'm mostly not here... so you may have to repeat later [06:36] switch** [06:36] DasEi: intrepid is installed It displayed perfectly during install but afterwards no display. i take that to mean that it can display/use the via chrome9 hc igp card but needs to be told how and when. [06:36] itai-michaelson: there is some configuring you have to do to get apache to use php to process .php files, but installing php should do that for you. try "sudo aptitude reinstall php5" [06:36] nsadmin, I have a Linksys router that all of the other computers in the house are connected too. [06:37] raylu, ok thanks [06:37] hi, i'm searching for an application like hotkeyp , it make all kind of keyboard shortcuts [06:37] raylu: I just checked. My soundcard isn't properly supported, no SPDIF output and other problems ;-(. But my new Turtle Beach USB audio adapter which should be here by Wednesday is fully supported :-) [06:37] remu: ping it by its numeric IP address [06:37] anyone know why the minimal installer would have a kernel panic when detecting hardware? [06:37] nsadmin, It was working fine earlier, then through ssh I did "sudo shutdown -h now", turned it off for a while, then moved it, turned it back on, and now this problem. [06:37] also it's kind of a recent thing to start happening [06:37] nsadmin, I will try that, give me one second. [06:37] marabout: only card in system ? [06:38] nsadmin, remu: don't you want to see ifconfig first? [06:38] DasEi: yes [06:38] Is there anypeple using "Green os"? [06:38] eventually :) [06:38] marabout: can't you go to desktop at all ? [06:38] I'm noet rady fore hard stupf [06:39] haha [06:39] raylu, reinstalling php didn't work [06:39] DesEi: not after the install no [06:39] !ot | SnowAngel [06:39] SnowAngel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:39] so does it return ping replies? [06:39] marabout: you could try to boot in safe mode and try to fix x-server [06:40] itai-michaelson: could you show me /etc/apache2/mods-installed/php.conf? [06:40] is there any way to pass from ubuntu to ubuntustudio configuring the packages manually, or via internet with some sort of upgrade? [06:40] !miminal [06:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about miminal [06:40] !minimal [06:40] nsadmin, going to do that shortly, it was turned off, so i just turned it back on [06:40] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:40] raylu, No such file or directory [06:40] nsadmin, pinging tells me that the host is unreachable. [06:40] GRULLIZZLE: ask in #ubuntustudio, not here. #ubuntu only provides support for the official Ubuntu distributions.

[06:41] raylu, ok, thanks [06:41] nsadmin, i have dd-wrt running on my router, and that doesnt seem to show the server connected to it either, under dhcp clients (it is a static dhcp lease using mac address) or under active clients [06:41] rww: studio is an official flavor [06:41] rww isnt ubuntustudio an official ubuntu distro? [06:41] itai-michaelson, did you install libapache2-mod-php5 ? [06:41] Flannel, GRULLIZZLE: It is? Geh, I suck, ignore me [06:41] is there anyone who have used ffmpeg plugin? [06:41] and i asked there ofc, but that was 3 hours ago, zero answer [06:42] Dasei: I am at 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode) now if that is the same as "safe mode"?

[06:52] nsadmin, i can go back downstairs and ping 192.168.1.34 from there, but im pretty sure it works as well from there [06:52] marabout, it's a command you can type in a terminal which would give you the info you just gave to DesEI :) [06:53] fuzeboxsoftware, great! [06:53] nsadmin, yes the laptop sees the desktop [06:53] I have ubuntu 8.04 and when I check for updates it says your system is up to date, shouldn't it upadte my system to 8.10? [06:53] remu: but the laptop pings the desktop... [06:53] presdec: Do you have a storage device in the bay? [06:53] nickrud: wouldn't know a gui program to get wep for wifi working, do you?

Did have to go to system->admin->hardware drivers and enable my wifi, though [06:56] raylu, nickrud HELLO WORLD! thank you [06:56] asim: ohhh. there's an ffmpeg php extension [06:57] nsadmin, the problem is that my server will not connect to the router, i can not access my server 192.168.1.36 from anymachine [06:57] raylu: youtuble actually converts video file format into flv, this is what actually ffpmeg does [06:57] nickrud: I can connect to wifi but not when WEP is enabled [06:57] raylu: yes there is ffmpeg-php extension [06:57] your server... which is not the laptop [06:57] the server is in my local internal network [06:57] ok brb [06:57] nsadmin, correct, the server is not my laptop, it is a seperate computer sitting here next to me [06:57] fuzeboxsoftware, I used wpa2 , and it worked. Never tried wep [06:57] asim: so yeah, i still need a more specific question. all you've told me is that it doens't work [06:58] nickrud: strange those commands do nothing but produce more grey matter on the screen [06:58] nickrud: my router don't have wpa [06:58] :( [06:58] fuzeboxsoftware, but I know verrrrrrrrry little about wireless [06:58] DesEi: any suggestions?

Except maybey /usr/local/vm [07:06] nsadmin, I still want to install a windows OS for gaming on the new partition, which will lead to reinstalling GRUB I suppose.. [07:06] remu: then doesn't that mean the issue is with your router? [07:06] DesEi: I found this: "http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action" take a look plz not sure which is closer to my driver [07:06] kavoor: it's because you're using sudo instead of whatever the KDE version of gksudo is...

[07:06] Hey, I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and I was having an issue with the volume controls. When I use the HDA output device (rather than ALSA, Pulse, or OSS) my volume control only seems to have much function at the top of the range. [07:07] kavoor: try kdesudo adept [07:07] raylu: so now I need help in this regard either I am using the wrong path for the commmand or command is totally missing [07:07] rww: kdesu [07:07] nsadmin, uh, I have no idea. [07:07] The reason I'm using the HDA device is because it's what's required to make my multimedia buttons work. [07:07] raylu....is it? i didnt think that was the case, everything else seems to be getting an ip address just fine [07:07] yeah I have an unopened copy of Fable [07:07] asim: can i see your php script yet?

[07:16] raylu: I checked phpinfo, safe_mode is set to off [07:16] asim: it's also possible ffmpeg doens't have o+x or that the avi isn't o+r [07:16] nsadmin, I think I'm going to solve the current issue first and then attend to the next one. :D It's just too confusing. [07:16] raylu, I tried the "sudo aptitude clean" which you suggested ( nice trick !) {ref: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100088/ } then waited while the files were downloaded 'fresh' by UpdateManager, and then it returned the same error : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline ... do you have some other helpful tricks up your sleeve that I might t [07:16] ry ? ... or should I wait a few more days and try the "sudo aptitude clean" again ?? this package problem has continued for almost 2 weeks now .. is there someplace I need to report it ? If so, where ? Many Thanks !! [07:16] Hi guys, I have [unfortunately] had to install XP on one of my partitions, to add to the previously installed Vista and Ubuntu. But now my bootloader is teh_screwed. How can (1) I fix grub to become the default boot loader? And will grub allow me to have Vista and XP as 2 options? Or do I need to make a Windows loader of myself? [07:16] raylu: no because I use the same command from SSH and it worked perfectly [07:16] !fixgrub | Stevethe1irate [07:16] Stevethe1irate: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[07:17] Foncy: what, install a sequencer? [07:18] No, recovering GRUB after installing Windows, like Stevethe1irate :) [07:18] Don_Miguel: have you updated your repositories lately? [07:18] irate pirate? [07:18] some way to just download the deb from repos? not install [07:18] raylu: no, actually hosting server has redhat, but I didn't find anyone to help me out in Redhat channel so I am here to ask you people, sorry for that [07:18] tmurder: man apt-get, look for -d [07:18] asim: su -u should do the same thing [07:18] Stevethepirate, ofc. [07:19] asim: also, i just noticed you're missing some ; [07:19] raylu: oki let try this [07:19] nsadmin, how frequent is your presence here? :) [07:19] raylu, I am still using 8.04 ... how do I update the repositories ?? [07:19] raylu: no no I just removed ; for wrhting here, cauz bot was not allowing me to post script with semicolons [07:19] nsadmin: aye, but i have to specify some operation, and i dont want to do install, since it will still want to remove a bunch of packages (dep probs) even though its not actually installing with -d [07:19] DesEi: just to clarify I will be using the xorg.conf in hardy since Intrepid does not have the drivers for my card within itself right? [07:20] asim: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php [07:20] Is anyone aware of a fix for the mouse click issues in 8.10? My mouse loses the ability to click every so often and I have to restart X to get it's functionality back. [07:20] asim: see the first comment [07:20] m1nd: 8.10.? [07:20] tmurder: somehow get a list of package files with their paths on the mirror [07:21] what does "apt-cache rdepends package" do? [07:21] Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude update [07:21] rccu: yes, release 8.10; ubuntu 8.10 [07:21] m1nd: that's way too cool [07:21] then download those to a dir, then install everything in that dir [07:21] jim_p: apt-cache --help. i believe rdepends = reverse dependencies [07:21] marabout: 87% right: hardy and ibex differ in graphics-solution, but ibex still accepts manual config via xorg.conf ( a file), located /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:21] raylu: I didn't get it exactly what exactly it means, plz describe if you can [07:21] raylu, Thank you [07:21] nsadmin: bah. aptitude did it. i thought apt-get was the backend for aptitude... whatever. [07:21] Hey, soz. Internet died. :/ Um, the thing is, I wish to fix my MBR, but I can't download a ubuntu live cd [I have a backtrack live cd tho' (which I'm running off atm)] [07:21] rccu: not really. it's an issue with xinerama though, but I'm using two video cards and 3 monitors so I have no choice but to use xinerama. [07:21] asim: apache has no access to /bin/sh, so it can't run anything [07:22] apt-get was originally a test of the libs [07:22] Stevethepirate, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:22] Is there a command that'll make a list of all packages I have installed? [07:22] !clone | jinja-sheep [07:22] jinja-sheep: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [07:22] asim: because apache is running in a chrooted environment to prevent access to files outside it's directories [07:22] Stevethepirate, I happen to have to solve the same issue later, so that's what I found :) [07:22] raylu, which means in plain words? if i set "apt-cache rdepends firefox" i get a ton of packages. does it mean they depend on ff? [07:22] raylu: I think it has because when i use exec("whoami") it returns with some results [07:22] I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly? [07:22] Foncy: Um, I still don't have an ubuntu live cd [07:22] jinja-sheep: or, just dpkg -l [07:22] Only a backtrack 3 disck [07:22] jim_p: i think, i'm not sure. again, apt-cache --help [07:23] Stevethepirate, there's more ways described. [07:23] so if i have two network devices say eth0 and eth1 how can i make all traffic go through eth0 except for bittorent which i want to feed through eth1 [07:23] you can lead a pirate to a ship, but you can make it pillage :) [07:23] jinja-sheep: dpkg-query -W [07:23] raylu, rdepends - Show reverse dependency information for a package very helpful :P [07:23] Hello. I'm trying to bind new keys to the Run Application dialog and can't remember the command. Some info says it's in gnome-panel-control but that doesn't exist on my machine. Any ideas? [07:23] asim: try shell_exec, then [07:23] nsadmin, you didn't answer my question :) [07:23] Need Some Help: I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my second computer and im getting an error after install is complete, it goes thru the install fine and when i reboot the computer and remove the CD it restarts which is fine then when it starts back up it goes right into Busybox it says /dev/disk/by-uuid/(insert random numbers here) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! So while i was installing i used the manual partitioner to set 400 gigs to be [07:23] used for ubuntu and i have a 100 gb backup of files i need to keep, im not sure where the problem started or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [07:23] Hemebond: the Run Application dialog's command, you mean? [07:23] Foncy: oh, I didn't? [07:24] The file backup typ[e is NTFS [07:24] rww: Yeah. [07:24] My experience of super grub disk isn't sooo good :/ [07:24] nsadmin, nope. I wanted to know how often you're here :) [07:24] Isn't there a way to chroot into my ubuntu partition? [07:24] Or something akin to that. [07:24] raylu + DasEi + rww: Thanks. [07:24] marabout: so try to get on the live-surface of hardy and then ask again here how to copy the xorg.conf [07:24] konzept: I had this issue when I built my new machine, 8.10 worked fine and 8.04 got busybox. My issue turned out to be lack of support for my raid controller. [07:25] Foncy: not hardly at all... I'm usually playing muh bass [07:25] Aw, that's too bad... [07:25] rww: Nevermind, I found something. [07:25] raylu, I did sudo aptitude update as you suggested ... do I need to repeat with sudo aptitude clean and then AGAIN download the update package files ?? [07:25] rww: If you have the authorization, correct the !clone message. The --disable-columns is incorrect. :> [07:25] rww: I didn't realise I could rebind it in gconf-editor. [07:25] m1nd Aye this is a new box, ive tried using 8.10 live cd so far and the alternate aswell [07:25] Don_Miguel: no, you can try just removing that one file [07:25] Foncy: is not :P I like playing bass :P [07:25] Stevethepirate, the link from ubottu didn't work for you either? [07:26] nsadmin, if you see it from that point of view you're right, for sure. [07:26] jinja-sheep: The command to submit a factoid correction is "!no, factoidname is new factoid text". Or wander into #ubuntu-ops and let them know. [07:26] Foncy: how do you see it? [07:26] m1nd i think it has something to do with the partitioner [07:26] raylu:I used shell_exec, blank screen [07:26] !fixgrub [07:26] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:26] DasEi: okay i'm d/l hardy now but it looks like it will be bigger than 699mb is that correct as my cd's are 700mb max [07:26] Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones? [07:26] Let me check that out [07:26] konzept: try 8.04; you may have better luck. Or, if you know whats missing you could try custom patching the kernel; but things get ugly when you play with ubuntu's kernel. [07:26] nsadmin, I was just hoping to reach you here when I'm attending to the mic issue :) [07:26] konzept: why do you say the partitioner. [07:27] guys quick question to change permission for folders to 777, the syntax is chmod -R 777 /path/to/dir , correct? do i need sudo if it's in my /home? [07:27] oh, well... that depends on when that's gonna be... you could always try /msging me I suppose [07:27] m1nd, because i set 400 gbs to use ubuntu on the drive i mounted it as root and ext3, then the 2nd part is sha5 and ntfs [07:27] itai-michaelson: no. [07:27] I'll give super grub disk a bash (no pun intended) [07:28] itai-michaelson: -R is recursive [07:28] m1nd ive ubuntu installed on this computer before just fine [07:28] and then take it from there [07:28] raylu, how best to remove the file ?? { E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline } with the terminal ? or ?? [07:28] nsadmin, I will, thanks :) [07:28] Don_Miguel: sudo rm /var/... [07:28] itai-michaelson: yes, if you also want everything in the directory to be changed. If you own everything in your home directory, you don't need sudo, otherwise you will. [07:28] m1nd, no as in my syntax is incorrect or bo as in i don't need sudo? [07:28] rww, raylu thanks [07:28] I just remembered my other question: if "/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system." why is the default Apache root /var/www/? [07:29] itai-michaelson: chmod 777 /pathtofyle [07:29] m1nd i guess my question would be can i use that extra 100 gbs as a ubuntu filesystem without formatting the data on it? i think that may work [07:29] konzept: what is your boot parittion? what fstype? [07:29] raylu, Thank you ... going to try that ( getting some much needed cli practice this morning ) [07:29] m1nd the filesystem is freshly formatted to ext3 [07:29] konzept: yes of course; you would edit /etc/fstab [07:30] I think you can't use NTFS with Ubuntu [07:30] raylu, i'm following this guid: http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=install&version=3#require , in quick installation step 4 , it asks for changing dir permissions to 777, will i need to add -R here? [07:30] Or I just got the question wrong :) [07:30] !ntfs | Foncy [07:30] Foncy: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:30] itai-michaelson: ew, phpbb. no [07:30] So it does work... okay okay. [07:30] Question is if i can conver ntfs to ubuntu filesystem without losing data [07:30] Hello everybody, I got a quick question, I am looking to buy a laptop/notebook, I would love to buy one that has ubuntu operating-system build-in, any recommendation about a certian laptop brand, or website, I would appreciate it. I want a real good one. [07:30] raylu, :-) thanks [07:31] konzept: i really dbout that... [07:31] konzept: i would backup; format and restore [07:31] raylu, you familiar with phpbb? [07:31] konzept: no, you can't. Backup your data somewhere else, reformat the partition, then move your data back. [07:31] m1nd Anyway using busybox to transfer the files to another computer? [07:31] konzept, you want to change the filesystem from NTFS to ext3 for exampke, without using data? [07:31] itai-michaelson: unfortunately, yes. would you consider SMF? [07:31] *losing [07:31] foncy correct [07:32] If they say there's no way... [07:32] Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat? [07:32] any advice? [07:32] Xully: thinkpads are always nice (though they don't come with ubuntu) [07:32] konzept: i have no idea... but there is no reason why you cant boot livecd and copy that way.. [07:32] raylu, i want to host a very simple basic discussion forum on my home server, is SMF a better choice? [07:32] I would trust them I think :) [07:32] raylu: u there? [07:32] konzept: just mount your partition. [07:32] Foncy: so what do you want to use your mic for? [07:32] m1nd i wasnt aware if live cd would let me access the network [07:32] itai-michaelson: if your users are more familiar with phpbb, go for it. or, if you're already partway through the install. otherwise, i prefer SMF [07:32] asim: hi [07:32] konzept: should s'long as your network card is fairly generic [07:32] nsadmin, VoIP in the first place. [07:33] m1nd killer nic [07:33] oh, you like to talk :) [07:33] raylu: I used shell_exec, not working , giving blank screen only [07:33] m1nd gonna give it a shot i will update when im done, can i ide in here? [07:33] idle [07:33] konzept: yes [07:33] rww thx [07:33] In fact I do! In that case I'm a stereotype of woman ;) [07:33] konzept: lol thats what irc is all about. [07:33] raylu, my users are not familiar with anything! i'll have a look at smf [07:33] Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones? [07:33] asim: doesn't that mean it worked? or should ffmpeg produce some output? [07:34] konzept: won't be around later; but good luck. [07:34] Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat upon the initiation? [07:34] m1nd: there are certain Ubuntu channels that aren't supposed to be idled in. #ubuntu-ops comes to mind. [07:34] Foncy: why do you suppose that is? [07:34] for most women that is [07:34] Foncy: .... I'm Quadraphonic..... [07:34] rww: I was being sarcastic. [07:34] raylu: no its not working I have checked many times [07:34] rww: I have done my part with !clone in #ops. FYI. :O [07:34] nsadmin, I don't know... people say women like to talk, don't they? [07:34] :) [07:35] asim: then i'm out of ideas. you could try #php [07:35] yeah but that's just people talking about talking...\ [07:35] raylu: hmm oki thank for your help [07:35] Heh, true... I really don't know... I guess I'm just a very social type. [07:35] raylu, smf runs on lamp as well, right? [07:35] itai-michaelson: of course. what doesn't? :P [07:36] And for the other women: Maybe they like to talk to talk about others, or something.. === m1nd is now known as m1nd|afk [07:36] Foncy, mm, the plot thickens :) [07:36] I just don't know, let's keep it to that.. [07:36] DesEi: falling asleep waiting/ for the CD to doanload - Thanks for your help [07:36] Desei: **download [07:37] marabout: it's more interesting watching a torrent download :D [07:37] nsadmin, the plot thickens? Is that some kind of weird saying I don't know, or did I find another word I didn't know yet? :) [07:37] sometimes I wonder who is enjoying themselves more, the gossip columists or the people who read them :) [07:38] Foncy: which word? [07:38] The more important question is: If there's people who are happy without gossip at all, why does it exist? Just for fun? :D [07:38] Foncy: your question can be generalized to "why are dumb people dumb" [07:38] nsadmin, "the plot thickens"... I didn't really get what you meant, but I guess it wasn't really important. [07:39] Foncy: and i'll give you the nobel peace prize for the answer [07:39] im using xfce and did something it just made both panels disappear how do i get them back [07:39] raylu, naa... it's dumb to say that only dumb people like gossip :) [07:39] Foncy, nsadmin: Entertaining as your conversation is, consider taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic. #ubuntu is supposed to stick to actual support topics ;) [07:39] Foncy: gossip is dumb, no? [07:39] : [07:39] *:(, rww is a party pooper [07:39] raylu: yeah, I feel bad. It really was fun to read. [07:39] excuse me [07:39] kaiser10123, try typing alt+f2 [07:39] raylu, just because something people like is dumb, doesn't make them dumb. [07:40] Does Ubuntu and Firefox take advantage of a proxy.pak file served by "wpad-url" from a ISC dhcp-server? [07:40] and then type xfce-panel [07:40] rww, sorry, you're right ofc :) [07:40] raylu, sometimes I get the feeling that women use talking to go through feeling states [07:40] Is there like a "wxWidgets" method for GCC to write applications for Ubuntu? [07:40] raylu, did sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb and rechecked for updates, then went to [install] and AGAIN got that same error message of: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline ... so I have cleaned and updated and removed what SEEMS to be the offending file ... and I am back at square one ...

[07:41] roccity_: thats not right command for panel [07:41] leavin good night [07:41] So, nsadmin, to stay ontopic... are your plugs ready for my ports, or do we have to install some packages first? [07:41] Don_Miguel: well, apparently, they weren't very good ideas :P. let me look into xulrunner for a moment [07:41] Just kidding... [07:42] I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly? [07:42] Foncy: oh my god :) my eyes are up HERE (points) [07:42] Heh. [07:42] Don_Miguel: aptitude -s remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support [07:43] Don_Miguel: could you pastebin the output of that? [07:43] raylu, thank you .. I thought they were GREAT ,,, just maybe not yet getting to the culprit [07:43] silly question: how do i add the "places" home folder to the desktop as a shortcut? thanks' [07:43] kaiser10123, sorry it should be xfce4-panel [07:43] raylu, will do [07:43] Foncy: don't you think your mic will work better when it's warmed up slowly? [07:44] roccity_: thank dont know what i did for it to disappear [07:44] I tried to make a USB startup disk using ubuntu-hardy-heron-x86-mini.iso -- It didn't success. Any idea how I can do this? [07:44] b1n42y: name of your wireless device? eth1? wlan0? [07:44] jinja-sheep: startup disk = ? [07:44] *grins* Maybe... didn't try yet. [07:44] dragon33: places home folder? [07:44] jinja-sheep, I also had that issue. I believe I rectified it by deleting and recreating the partition on the USB drive with Gparted [07:45] Foncy: how far did you get in your install?

[07:45] HellFire-Au: it may be possible using iptables/iproute, but i have no experience with that [07:45] Barridus: What do you mean? How do you place ISO on it afterward? [07:45] yeah [07:45] b1n42y: you could try sudo dhclient eth1, or disabling and reenabling wireless in the NetworkManager applet [07:46] jinja-sheep: huh...? [07:46] raylu: Cheers, i'll check that out [07:46] If I started already I wouldn't be here anymore, but installing, you know?

IE: I have a 25 character dynamic host that I ssh to, and I would rather be able to type "ssh home" than the full thing, but since it's a dynamic IP I can't add it by IP to /etc/hosts [07:51] does anyone know why i get the error "Could not laugh menu item Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (No such files or directory)" but typing in the terminal "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so kopete" it works perfectly [07:51] !info squashfs [07:51] Oh ratso,,I have a tail [07:51] Package squashfs does not exist in intrepid [07:52] :) [07:52] robbiecrash look into CNAME dns records [07:52] thanks nsadmin [07:52] Robbie_Crash, you can do that in ~/.ssh/config === Mud|dev is now known as Mud [07:53] nickrud I can?

[08:00] how do i rename all files in a directory ending with _1.jpg to something else? [08:00] looking to do it inside terminal [08:00] lwizardl there's a perl script called rename [08:00] raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100135/ [08:01] or you can get a list of all files ending with that and iterate over that list [08:01] raylu: just thru the desktop icon [08:01] hi [08:01] lwizardl: find -name "*_1.jpg" -exec "mv {} {}somethingelse \;" [08:02] that would keep the _1.jpg and make it _1.jpgsomethingelse [08:02] Don_Miguel: what the...? [08:02] you have to cut that off the end first [08:02] Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [08:03] nsadmin: true, but he never specified how he wanted them renamed :P [08:03] so there's a sudo aptitude reallydangerous-upgrade? [08:03] nsadmin: dist-upgrade [08:03] oh :) [08:03] nsadmin: safe-upgrade is the snazzy new term for upgrade in aptitude. [08:03] nsadmin: there's also semi-dangerous-but-usually-safe-upgrade [08:04] raylu: its already mounted.. i can put files on it, just not delete them [08:04] Now you tell me [08:04] rww + raylu: Cheers. UNetbooting are a nifty tool. :> [08:04] yoyit2: that's strange. have you found the relevant output from "mount" yet?

[08:09] !anyone | jason [08:09] jason: 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? [08:09] Plz help .... I am not able to open Computer in places on my Hardy! [08:09] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100150/ [08:10] Maggie: you have a hardy?! [08:10] hellhound: what application? [08:10] Maggie: what happens when you try? Do you get an error message or anything? [08:10] how to I copy the .so file in firefox plugin directory says "permission denied" but im the only user [08:10] raylu kopete (yes i am running it in gnome [08:10] nsadmin, yes I use ubuntu 8.04 [08:11] yoyit2: so when you click the icon on your desktop, i'm guessing it takes you to /media/disk? [08:11] hellhound: you could just do "LD_PRELOAD=... kopete" in a terminal [08:11] sorry the .so file is flashplayer x64 that came from th TARBALL [08:12] raylu: yes i know but i want to create a menu shortcut and also put it in the startup sessions [08:12] jason: the permission denied is because of where you want to copy it to, not where you're copying fro [08:12] @rww "Nautilus could not handle location:computer" [08:12] hellhound: no idea; i don't use the menu :P [08:12] I know but what do i need to do to be able to copy it there [08:12] good morning [08:12] hellhound: right-click your gnome menu and select "Edit Menus". Navigate to where the kopete entry is (probably Internet?) select it, and press "Properties". In the "Command" field in the window that appears, put the following: LDPRELOAD="stuffgoeshere" commandname goes here (i.e., the LDPRELOAD variable declaration, then a space, then the command that's already there). [08:12] jason: where are you copying it? and why? [08:13] @rww "Nautilus could not handle computer:locations." [08:13] Im trying to install the flashplayer 10 plugin for x64 firefox which is in user/firefox 3.0 [08:13] Seveas: you have a screwy irc client [08:13] Maggie: do you mean `` Could not display "computer:///". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations.`? [08:13] raylu, 9:13 and xchat/znc. You could just ask :) [08:13] and its in the plugin folder [08:13] Seveas: that's not as fun [08:14] raylu: yes it does [08:14] raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100153/ [08:14] rww, yes [08:14] yoyit2: in a terminal, "touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test" [08:14] umm [08:14] raylu, my CTCP VERSION response is known to cause reboots ;) [08:14] New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period. [08:15] I'm trying to install musictracker (a plugin for pidgin), and it compiles, but when I type make, it says there isn't a makefile [08:15] rww: thank you. when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there [08:15] I am running some KDE apps under Gnome, and inside them my cursor is very large. How do I set this up? I have the QT3 and QT4 settings applications, but I see no entry for setting the cursor size [08:15] Don_Miguel: like i said, -s won't do anything, it just tells you what would happen if you did it without -s [08:15] Don_Miguel: i guess i didn't quite make that clear [08:15] lars u have to enable x something [08:15] Hold on ill see what its called again [08:15] jason: I don't see an x something /sarcasm [08:15] :D [08:15] Jaz969: can tou put up a copy of the contents of the main directory in past.ubuntu.com? [08:15] jason, thanks [08:16] Maggie: are you running nautilus or GNOME as root (using gksudo or some other weird method) or as a normal user? [08:16] !twinview [08:16] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [08:16] raylu: its says cannot touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test read-only file system [08:16] wow, that was surprisingly not useful. [08:16] paste.ubuntu.com* [08:16] hi people [08:16] yoyit2: strange. you said you could create files, though? [08:16] rww, I use as a normal user [08:16] yeah [08:16] hold on [08:16] raylu, feel free to improve the factoid :) [08:17] raylu, in UpdateManager I still show 25 packages waiting to upgrade after the previous ... OH so I need to re-do that withOUT the -s ?? sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ?? [08:17] jason: what do you mean it compiles? make compiles it so... [08:17] Don_Miguel: yes [08:17] Seveas: i was hoping for information myself :P [08:17] :) [08:17] i need some help with synaptic package manager. it works fine under gnome but when i try to install software under kde, the install progress dialog just sits there at 100%, and the close button is disabled [08:17] Lars: did u get it [08:17] no [08:17] kerry_, use adept under kde :) [08:17] miranda_psi how do i get the contents into text form [08:17] can someone help? i'm new to linux (ubuntu) [08:17] kerry_: use adept under kde [08:18] jason, nope...did you PM it to me? [08:18] raylu: yep.. just not delete [08:18] The bugs are so complicated is there any simple bugs ican solve first [08:18] ah, ok i've found adept. is it better than synaptic? [08:18] yoyit2: but touch would create the file... [08:18] Im using Konversation and don't see PM option [08:18] yoyit2: how did you manage to create a file? [08:18] Jason, what is it called? [08:18] raylu: just drag and drop music (its for my phone) [08:18] rww: thank you. when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there [08:19] yoyit2: in nautilus? [08:19] Whats the web site to join a team? [08:19] Jaz969: just go into a terminal (applications, accessories, terminal) ans then use: cd /path/to/program and then run: ls -l and copy the output [08:19] Its right below the layout section in xserver display config [08:19] raylu: nope, just files, and folders using coy and paste [08:19] !launchpad | cmkAus [08:19] cmkAus: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [08:19] hellhound, use this: sh -c "LD_PRELOAD=foo appname" [08:19] yoyit2: er, nautilus is the file browser [08:20] raylu: haha.. right, my bad [08:20] Seveas: how do I edit a factoid? I think !Tab is rather vague for example It would be more helpful if it had something appended to the end like 'Example: Type the first two letters of the persons nick THEN press TAB' [08:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/100156/ [08:20] ubottu: thanks [08:20] miranda_psi [08:20] You're welcome!

I see a bunch of people saying they have this problem, but no solution to be found except for "Does this still happen in intrepid?" "No." =/ [08:21] yoyit2: i have no idea :P [08:21] raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100155/ what next ? ( I did not get to have a snack ! the cupboard is bare !! so my brain is energy deprived ... pls spell it ALL out for me ! ) [08:21] cuz you have a vga output in vid card right [08:21] k you said ubotu earlier Seveas kinda confused me :) [08:21] JaZ969: to install that you will have to first: "./configure" then "make" and finally "sudo make install" [08:21] raylu: arg .. :( [08:21] i'm back.... i've got adept open, now is there any way i can view available packages by category? (ie office, graphics, etc) [08:21] i did configure [08:21] jason, they're both DVI [08:22] but after i configure, and i type make it does this [08:22] Seveas: the application launched with command but it did not do the preload [08:22] eseven73, apologies. Ubotu was the previous bot in here, which died. [08:22] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

[08:23] in the model drop down box select your dvi moniter [08:23] JaZ969: no makefile has been made and thats usually the cause is a configure finding an error [08:23] anyone know why i cant delte fiiles from my SD card?? but i can write them?? [08:23] JaZ969: paste it up an ill take a look [08:23] ok [08:23] select twinview and resolution to your choice with your hurts [08:23] I was wondering, do any of you know of any Usenet Clients that are similar to Grabit for Windows? Server Searching, all that. Any clients you would recommend? [08:23] hellhound, also make sure you didn't have a ; in the command between the variable and the app [08:24] my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu) [08:24] miranda_psi http://paste.ubuntu.com/100158/ [08:24] Bikeguy, apt-cache search nzb gives you some decent clients [08:24] select left of then make this the primary display [08:24] oh wow [08:24] IM SO BLIND [08:24] I joined a bugsquad team can I join another team?

[08:25] raylu, Update manager still shows those 25 waiting to upgrade [08:25] I'm still having a problem when I disconnect a secondar, non mounted harddrive. When I do, I can't boot. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028757 . I've looked through the syslog, but I don't know enough about Linux to determine where it's checking something, and what it's missing, and I don't think that the failed boots would log anything to syslog, so I don't know how I'll really be able to figure out where the problem actua [08:25] Seveas: is it anything like apt-get? or what is it exactly [08:26] cmkAus: beginner room for what? [08:26] I am not able to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using CD ........ can any1 help me [08:26] ubuntu [08:26] Bikeguy, yes, you tun that command in a terminal [08:26] Lars: u still with me [08:26] JaZ969: there was an error in configure (look at line 111) saying that you don't have the pidgin development files instaled, so go into synaptic and search for pidgin and look for files related to pidgin with "-dev" at the end [08:26] Don_Miguel: that's not strange; those 25 have not upgraded yet [08:26] Seveas: thanks, will try that out [08:26] hi. how installhplaserjet [08:26] 1020 [08:26] raylu, OK will sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules [08:26] Jason...yeah [08:26] miranda_psi I'm installing the pidgin dev files atm [08:26] Is there a channel called unbuntu beginner?

I used the programm to create a intrepid 32bit startup disk (but I'm using a 64bit intrepid os). It did that successfully (at least it said that), but I can't boot from it. I know my bios can do that, as a also tried selecting the boot device manually (using F9), selecting "Removable". But then it just says sth like No bootable medium found. [08:50] Igramul:probably my mbr got messed up ? [08:50] raylu I have no idea. She's not done anything abnormal from what she's said, it just mounted there.

[08:53] raylu, I have it up, but I don't know which command is the one I want, mainly because I don't know what the problem is to begin with [08:53] Lars: i think if you just run "xrandr", it should give you the status of your displays [08:53] Slart: I tried testdevice it shows me ext3 is there but filesystem corrupted [08:53] raylu, I have no idea WHY my acer isn't getting a signal [08:53] raylu, Not much help sadly, :( [08:54] Igramul: didnt got your question ?

[09:55] Don_Miguel: you can just give me the first two, then. (pressing up in terminal will give you the last few commands you ran [09:55] Don_Miguel: as for getting the third, "grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head" [09:56] Don_Miguel: will give only the first 10 lines, which may be of use === chipt4_ is now known as chipt4 [09:59] hello veryone. wat package should i download for converting *.avi files into *.mp4 format?

[10:07] home directory [10:07] colton_: your home folder.. /home/colton_ or similar [10:07] ~/data, [10:07] It means that it is a home directory? === rww_ is now known as rww [10:07] How many home directories can there be? [10:08] colton_: one [10:08] as many as users [10:08] colton_: one per user =) [10:08] When I tilde a directory it becomes invisible for some reason why is this? [10:08] tilde a directory? [10:08] colton_, what do you mean by "tilde a directory"? put a ~ at the end of it? [10:08] colton_: hmm.. how do you "tilde a directory"? [10:08] ~/ [10:09] ~/data is short for /home/colton/data [10:09] hi everyone ! [10:09] ~/data [10:09] hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue [10:09] instead of writing ~/data you can write /home//data.. it's the same thing.. [10:09] hello [10:10] raylu, sorry for the delay http://paste.ubuntu.com/100200/ [10:10] hello [10:11] i have wine 0.9.59 installed from repos, and now i'm building new release. can i run it from the source folder without 'make install' ? how to run it properly? [10:11] i wanna have two of them... [10:11] Don_Miguel: this is long shot... [10:11] Don_Miguel: cd /var/lib [10:11] Don_Miguel: sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b [10:11] archman: I'm not sure if you can.. but perhaps.. ask in #winehq instead.. they are the real wine experts [10:12] archman, ask in #winehq [10:12] Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [10:12] I think it's just "make", archman [10:12] ok [10:12] * SiDi didn't know about winehq channel :o [10:12] archman, it'll probably end up involving passing an option to ./configure, though, if wine is anything like most other programs. [10:12] so, I have several USB drive enclosures. I have had a variety of problems with the drives that came with the enclosures, because they were preformatted to NTFS, making them difficult to use on certain versionsof linux and macosx. [10:12] hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue [10:13] However, because people started putting data on the preformatted NTFS partitions, it was not feasibleto reformat them. [10:13] I am about to start usinga 500GB drive. Before Put data on it and make it unfeasible to reformat it, what format should I put on it? [10:13] rww: i did configure --prefix to another location... [10:13] archman, then make install should install it to that other location. [10:13] puff: consider an lvm PV [10:13] puff, which operating systems need to be able to read the drive? [10:13] rww: All of them. [10:13] then a PV woudlnt' work [10:14] raylu, OK (1) cd /var/lib (2) sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b (3) sudo aptitude safe-upgrade is there spozed to be a SPACE in #2 -b ?? [10:14] rww: lol fat32 should read ok [10:14] puff, do you need the ability to create files larger than 4GB? [10:14] t94xr_laptop: I cannot help you directly, but I can point out bitpim, which is a python-based PIM that has support for a great many phones. [10:14] Don_Miguel: no [10:15] rww: Not generally, though it is likely I will be sneakernetting around multimedia files (e.g. movies, etc) with this drive. [10:15] Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b [10:15] rww: they answered me to just run the shortcut in the root of the source (the one that points to /tools/winewrapper [10:15] puff: why not use the drive to temporarily hold the files on the ntfs drives so you can put a different fs on them? [10:15] puff: its not the program, i can do that, ubuntu doesnt recognising my phone - when its usb mode (flash stick mode) or in phone mode === tyfoo2 is now known as tyfoo [10:15] then when you're done, use the drive for whatever [10:15] raylu, OK .. as a #4 ? in this list ? [10:15] puff, because the only filesystem supported out-of-the-box by Ubuntu, OS X, and Windows is FAT32, which has a 4GB-per-file size limit. [10:15] rww: however, to date most of those files are under 4GB. [10:16] Don_Miguel: er? you've already given me 1, 2, and 3. what would it mean if it were 4? [10:16] puff, Windows and Ubuntu can read and write ntfs out of the box, but OS X can only read. Only Ubuntu can read ext2/3 out of the box (OS X and Windows require plugins). HFS+ is a pain in the ass on anything that isn't OS X... [10:16] I have just done 1 & 2 about to do 3 ... [10:16] nsadmin: Well yes, that's a possibility, but if there's a better format to put on this drive sarting out, I'd prefer to do so [10:17] Don_Miguel: hm? you've already shown me grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head [10:17] rww: Okay, so are there any major drawbacks to fat32? [10:17] puff, 4GB-per-file size limit and no file permissions. [10:17] rww: I suspect I can live with that. [10:17] puff, if you don't have any >4GB files, and you don't need file permissions, use FAT32. [10:18] puff: if you're going to use the drive for temporary purposes, the filesystem you pick should be for the temporary purpose... after that, you can format to whatever you want for the more permanent purpose [10:18] raylu, in current list you gave me, I am about to do sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and then you said: [06:15] Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b [10:19] nsadmin: I'm going to use the drive in an external USB enclosure as a combination of backup device and sneakernet [10:19] The latter purpose most likely for movies, etc. [10:19] Don_Miguel: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh [10:19] Which makes macosx a priority, win32 a lesser priority. [10:19] what about the other drives? do you want to reformat them and rewrite the data to them? [10:19] Don_Miguel: "mv dpkg dpkg-b" renames dpkg to dpkg-b [10:19] So, I can live with <4GB and no user permissions. [10:19] Don_Miguel: i was just explaining what those 3 commands do [10:20] nsadmin: Eventually I'd like ot reformat them. I have about 5-6 drives in the 160GB to 250GB range, and one terabyte drive. All formatted ntfs. [10:20] raylu, OH, OK ... I did mention TIRED I think ! [10:20] nsadmin: However, for now I just want to get this new drive set up "right". [10:20] puff: may i suggest a NAS (Network Attached Storage) [10:21] puff: you could do those now, before you put the 500g drive into permanent service... you have that opportunity until you do so [10:21] nsadmin: Then I can contemplate shuffling data around and reformatting drives. Two ofthe drives (250GB each) don't seem to work proeperly. [10:21] nsadmin: Getting the new drive working is a higher priority than shuffling, etc. [10:22] I'm a migrating windows user and I am trying to find the Linux equivilant of Task Manager, mainly because I am trying to force stop a program in wine [10:22] I'm just saying you can shuffle more easily now than you would be able to if you put the drive into permanent service now [10:22] t94xr_laptop: I'm considering that, but more likely before that happens, I'll get another terabyte drive (or two) and stickthem in a spare ubuntu box as a fileserver. [10:22] Trenter: Try CTRL+ESC [10:22] other than the tb drive [10:22] Trenter: or start the gnome-system-monitor [10:22] nsadmin: Yes, and if I wanted to spend a week copying data back and forth, I'd consider that. [10:22] puff, you could also stick with ntfs and use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver on Ubuntu and OS X, now that I think of it. [10:22] !ntfs-3g | puff [10:22] puff: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [10:23] rww: Yeah, but then I'd have to worry about upgrading the macosx boxen and that gets political. [10:23] puff, ah. Nevermind that idea, then. [10:23] rww: I'm just looking for the "right" format to moveto, at this point. [10:23] raylu, here is paste #12 ! http://paste.ubuntu.com/100206/ [10:23] Trenter: you could also run xkill to kill a window [10:23] you can still use ntfs-3g to access the drives which already are ntfs [10:24] rww: Most likely,what will happen is I'll get this 500GB working in an enclosure, and then at some point in the not-imediate but not too distant future, stick all the 160GB-250GB drives in a spare ubuntu box and back them up to a fresh terabyte drive. [10:24] I have a window titled "Untitled Window" but it does not show up in the list of processes [10:24] run xkill and klick on the window [10:24] rww: Baby steps, man :-). [10:24] rww: Thanks for the advice [10:24] Don_Miguel: sudo mkdir dpkg [10:25] (alt+f2) and then enter xkill [10:25] * nsadmin notes in passing that backing up a drive to another drive is not the safest choice [10:25] Don_Miguel: and then safe-upgrade again [10:25] if you have that much storage and you're supporting people for work, then you need tape drives [10:26] Trenter: the equivalent of task manager is the command line tool "top". otherwise, ctrl+esc may give you a gui version. "ps -e" is useful too. [10:26] raylu, OK sudo mkdir dpkg and then safe-upgrade again [10:26] nsadmin: Yeah, that's a whole 'nuther issue. Tape drives are kinda pricey. This is an odd situation, not quite "work" but not personal either. [10:26] Trenter: but what you probably want is wineserver -k [10:26] That did it, many thanks [10:26] then does money change hands in exchange for use of the storage? [10:27] hello all [10:28] nsadmin: Not really. It's a small coalition of cash-poor freelancers and 3D guys trying to get a toehold. [10:28] Hello, is there some thing like "RAID over Lan"? I mean like synchronisation, but syncronizing all the time when a file has changed. [10:28] how can I change datetemporary just to run some application with specific system date and time? === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [10:29] !rsync [10:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [10:29] o.0 [10:29] unusual [10:29] PolitikerALT: you want rsync [10:30] nsadmin: there are days (many) when I want to just go do another financial corp consulting gig and throw a lot of money at the infrastructure, and maybe someday I will, but meanwhile I'm just trying to make it work. [10:30] raylu, do we need to rename/move dpkg-b back to dpkg ?? [10:31] what a cool quote: "A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1999" [10:31] Don_Miguel: no, making dpkg should be enough. why? [10:31] raylu: rsync has a daemon? mom, I'll have a look [10:31] mom? [10:31] raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/ [10:31] hi - somebody know how to get mdadm raid after reboot? [10:31] to work [10:31] moment, I'm reading the manual [10:32] PolitikerALT: oh. i should mention that i have no experience with it [10:32] PolitikerALT: It can, depends on how you're using it. [10:32] PolitikerALT: I have only brushed the surface with rsync, but one mode of using it is you run rsync locally and it pushes deltas (changed data) to a daemon on the remote system.

[10:34] anyone speaks russian? could use some help to translate "IT support" to russian [10:34] PolitikerALT: Just a heads up, in my expereince rysnc is very finicky about file specifications, specifically it seems most straightforward thing to do is to specify *both* the source and destination paths with a trailing slash, e.g. rsynch /source/path/ /dest/path/ [10:34] !ru | Ruudi [10:34] Ruudi: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:35] thnx rww [10:35] puff: thanks [10:36] PolitikerALT: The trailing slash tells rsync that you want "path" to be a directory at both locations, and you want th econtents of "path" to be synchronized. Beyond that it gets iffy, but the safest thing seems to be to have the final element in the file spec be a directory name with a trailing slash. [10:36] PolitikerALT: I suspect this is rsync's achilles heel, and if they ever fix it rsync will become far more widespread. [10:36] trailing slashes in rsync irritate the heck out of me :( [10:37] Helloo [10:37] * johny says hello [10:37] rww: Tell me about it :-). [10:38] rww: Tip: if you ever have to clean up the results of such, kdiff-3 is invaluable. Also incredibly handy for when you drift off source control and are trying to merge changes back in. [10:38] how do I disable middle-click pasting? === bingqiling is now known as ziroday [10:40] rww: However, kdiff-3 can easily bog down on some common use cases. For example, when I was using kdiff3 to merge a couple different backups of my user directory, I found it *much* easier after I first a) cleaned up mozilla and beagle .files, b) moved four or five jdk hierarhies out of all versions of my user directory . [10:40] I'm on ATI radeon 9700 card, can't use fglrx with Intrepid, therefore, I got back to the "ati open-source" driver, but my xorg.cong isn't still configured, which is weird. Can anyone of you have a look http://paste2.org/p/124870 [10:41] johny, Intrepid's version of Xorg does extensive autodetection, so many users have the default xorg.conf file. I have an ATI card too, and when I used to use radeon, the file looked like that. [10:42] raylu, did you see my last ? [06:31] raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/ [10:43] rww: Thanks, it's good to know. I was thinking about adding "radeon" line to it. Do you experience problems with CPu use going higher when scrolling any pages, even with dillo? [10:43] Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help! [10:44] johny, the Xorg process's CPU usage tends to spike when I scroll or move windows around or do anything... it's only momentary, though, so I never really bothered with it. [10:44] johny, adding the radeon line won't hurt, but it won't change anything either. [10:46] rww: Say what, I just typed "glxgears", and it eats the whole 100% of my CPU, is it usual behavior? [10:46] Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help! [10:47] johny, not sure; I'm running fglrx right now, so I can't check. [10:47] johny, but radeon isn't very efficient at running OpenGL stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me. [10:48] anyone had any problems with saving settings in about:config of firefox under ubuntu yet when you restart firefox or log out, it resets them? [10:48] hm, some digging around brings up XFS, woulod that work?

[10:51] Mayank: ubuntu 8.10, 32 bit [10:51] johny: probably xserver-xorg-video-radeon, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd, xserver-xorg-video-ati, depending on exactly which driver you're using [10:51] Don_Miguel: i suppose you do need to move it back, then [10:51] !fedora | Mayank [10:51] Mayank: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [10:51] Lars: xrandr that is? [10:51] slart, no, fedora, there is no i386 for fedora? [10:51] Mayank: oops, sorry, that was useless. Fedora support in #fedora, not here. #ubuntu is, unsurprisingly, only for Ubuntu support. [10:51] Mayank: what channel are you in? [10:52] Don_Miguel: i'd still recommend trying to follow the last suggestion in that post. removing references ot xulrunner in the available and status files may help [10:52] raylu, remind me ,,, what is the command for that ? [10:52] *to [10:52] Don_Miguel: rm -r dpkg [10:52] rww: By the way: How can I check which one is used by the OS if my xorg doesn't put any entries in the config file? [10:52] hi [10:52] Don_Miguel: mv dpkg-b dpkb [10:52] Don_Miguel: both with sudo [10:52] Lars: try "xrandr --prop" to view currently detected screens [10:53] rww: Good 'nuff, that recommendation is probably outdated. [10:53] can anyone explain to me hoe i would use IP routes on my ubuntu machine to channel different ports down a different connection. [10:53] johny: I usually read the Xorg logfile at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I know radeon and fglrx both put lines in there when they're in use.

[10:59] Hmm. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on mobile laptop. However, I faced an issue when it comes to detect + mount CD-ROM. The problem?

Good luck :) [10:59] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100241/ [11:00] rww: Checked! It's certainly radeon (= ati Open-Source driver, right?) DRI is enabled, compiz launches on OS start too, but this scrolling is just horrible. As I've mentioned before: I installed Dillo to test it out, the browser itself is fast as hell, but when i scroll a page it just eats all the CPU.

[11:05] 10:05 pm sydney time :P [11:05] I'll look for it xD [11:05] Miguel_2009: damn small linux [11:05] Yep homing [11:05] HomingHamster: yes [11:05] ActionParsnip: if your irc-client hadn't been so paranoid it would have answered me =) "/ctcp Slart time" will tell you what time it is here [11:06] Miguel_2009: puppylinux, xubuntu, DSL (damnsmalllinux) [11:06] damn samll linux.. i've heared about it [11:06] can i "turn" ubuntu into xubuntu using synaptic? [11:06] Slart: its pidgin, i have no idea what settings :) [11:06] how can i change my boot from 9 sec to 3 [11:06] ahm dsl = damn small linux :P [11:06] ? [11:06] Miguel_2009: its a 50mb linux [11:06] HomingHamster: yes, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [11:06] tucha12 [11:06] tipe in a terminal: [11:06] HomingHamster: I'm not sure if it will be the same but you can try installing xubuntu-desktop or whatever it's called [11:06] neat, thanks ActionParsnip [11:06] sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:06] Slart: it is the same [11:06] ActionParsnip: ah.. pidgin.. destroyer of irc =) [11:07] then go to the part it says timeout [11:07] and change 9 for 3 [11:07] Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit dude, sudo gedit is incorrect [11:07] thanks Slart that sounds about right [11:07] xD [11:07] ah, thanks DIFH-iceroot [11:07] Slart: it does irc, cant say fairer than that [11:07] y use always sudo gedit xDDDDDD [11:07] does any one have any ideas? [11:08] Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit.. never sudo with a gui [11:08] Miguel_2009: so it sets up the environment and doesnt break permissions and ownerships on files [11:08] !gksudo | Miguel_2009 [11:08] Slart, Great tip, thanks for that! [11:08] Miguel_2009: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [11:08] Slart, the ctcp time-one [11:08] Miguel_2009: sudo is for cli apps like nano apt-get cp etc [11:08] ah great xD [11:08] zhaozhou: yes, it's nice.. there are other ctcp commands too.. I just use version and time [11:08] i always do from the other way now i'll make it as you say xD [11:09] I have this constant annoying sound on my system. Can I restart the sound daemon somehow? [11:09] i'm an idiot but i have to ask it again...when i install wine via synaptic i can get wine and wine-dev. How do i get wine-dev installed via sources? I want programs to see that i have wine development files on the dependency check. [11:10] Well i'll take a look to DSM then [11:10] is there a way to repair ubuntu with the live cd? [11:11] alexb92: define "repair" [11:11] archman: I think wine-dev is sources... or at least headers [11:11] well as in my ubuntu wont boot up due to a read only file system as its installed under wubu\ [11:11] wubi* [11:11] but it was working fine before though [11:11] Slart: and how can i point a program when he needs wine-dev files on installtion? [11:12] alexb92: i dont think you can fix wubi with live cd, you could maybe mount the hdd imag and work on it from windows [11:13] lol sorry but im a complete noob when it comes to ubuntu so how do you do that? [11:13] i tried going into where the ubuntu directory was stored in my C: drive and making it read only there [11:13] but upon reboot it still didnt recognise it [11:13] and i tried defragging and disk check [11:13] archman: oh.. I don't really know.. I don't even know where whatever wine-dev installs is located [11:14] archman: /usr/src is a common place.. take a look and see... or check in synaptic what it installs [11:14] alexb92: its a windows question really, you need something like magicdisk or some other virtual drive system [11:14] does windows and ubuntu even get along together? or do they try and fight for the partition and the filesystem [11:14] i have vmware available? [11:14] or should i just completely remove it and start fresh? [11:15] alexb92: no they dont fight, they can sit side by side and with some config can read each others files [11:15] alexb92: ubuntu is a nice os.. windows not so much [11:15] i know and i really like ubuntu\ [11:15] Slart: /usr/include/ , and /usr/share, and libwine.so in /usr/lib/ [11:15] alexb92: if you are happy to start fresh, its an option [11:15] its just a pity that there isnt easy ways to fix things unlike windows [11:15] alexb92: personally i despise wubi [11:15] but the annoying thing is that i have files in ubuntu which i cant access though [11:16] and i did a hell of alot of downloading with synaptic [11:16] alexb92: its because its a half ass install of ubuntu from within windows, if you had a proper install you could boot to livecd and repair easily [11:16] alexb92: I meant as in getting along with other os's too.. ubuntu is pretty considerate when it comes to overwriting stuff.. windows is more of a ignorant crybaby =) [11:16] yeah i know lol [11:16] alexb92: ahhh.. using wubi.. then I can't really say.. haven't used it myself [11:17] i just did wubi at the time becoz i didnt have the space but now i have an external hdd so yeah i dont mind using that [11:17] but the hdd is only usb 2.0 not sata or anything [11:17] Why do I always get time-out when I try to ping an ip from ubuntu? [11:17] alexb92: you are also comparing badly due to experience, im sure yuor windows exposure is colossol compared to your linux exposure [11:17] Mass[UB]: uhm.. you're pinging something that isn't answering? [11:17] alexb92: you can install to usb in the live cd [11:18] yeah i know [11:18] Slart: uhm, no when i do it from Windows it's answering, I'm using ubuntu on virtualhost [11:18] anyone recommend another terminal server client for ubuntu other than the "Terminal Server Client"? [11:18] Mass[UB]: try pinging 74.125.79.147, that's a google machine.. it answers to my pings [11:18] Trust me it's not the ip not answering [11:18] i mean my experience with ubuntu is a really positive one i love using ubuntu but its just when it crashes and your a new comer to the OS, its kind of hard to do things if you know what i mean [11:18] Mass[UB]: then you probably don't have networking setup properly.. it's not a ubuntu feature [11:19] AdvoWork: apt-cache search remote desktop [11:19] --- 74.125.79.147 ping statistics ---, 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2000ms [11:19] alexb92: thats when you learn most [11:19] like in windows if something screws up u can repair with the cd or use software which does the things for u [11:19] exactly [11:19] and i want to learn linux becoz its the future OS [11:20] alexb92: its one of them [11:20] is there any windows channel for xp or vista?

[11:23] alexb92: rEFIt is the bootloader, i believe [11:23] saera: converting to ogg reduces quality of the original, like bmp is to jpeg [11:23] if it's an intel mac [11:23] saera: if you convert from ogg to mp3 you will loose even more quality [11:23] saera: aac is a really good format for music [11:23] google around for a tutorial on the specific model of mac [11:23] alexb92, flac better [11:23] 96kbs of aac = 128 kbs of mp3 [11:24] saera: ogg is an awesome format but not so many players like it (I always buy cowon players due to this fact) [11:24] siemanko jakies polaki :> tak z ciekawości [11:24] ;) [11:24] and it uses half the space [11:24] !mp3 [11:24] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:24] alexb92, i sm uding an ipod, rather i want to use my ipod and cant [11:24] can i make gnome cycle only through certain windows?

[13:41] jinja-sheep, it doesnt seem to be the problem of the driver. i mean it is that the driver isnt in use from the system [13:41] ikonia: hm.. non-administrator users were able to add/remove printers here [13:41] ActionParsnip: See the issue ortsvorsteher is having with his driver. Any idea why? [13:41] zamba: how [13:41] First time IRC'in here, am i supposed to wait my turn for my problem lol? [13:41] ikonia: have no idea [13:42] ortsvorsteher: It should be working. Did you update from older version recently? [13:42] tyson_: just ask it and if anyone knows they'll answer [13:42] tyson_: nope, just jump in with a detailed question on a single line [13:42] zamba: they will be able to connect to existing printers, but they won't be able to add a new printer to the system [13:42] ikonia: through system - administration - printers [13:42] tyson_: nope, just go ahead and ask :) [13:42] zamba: ahhh, thats fine, don't worry about that [13:42] tyson dont use words like lol here [13:42] jinja-sheep, no, i updated from 8.04. and i updated before two weeks [13:42] jinja-sheep: install nvidia-settings so you can configure the card [13:42] ikonia: well.. they were able to remove the printers used by all the other users of the system as well [13:43] ActionParsnip, i try [13:43] zamba: sorry, thats probably a bad "definition" on my part, that is a user configuring a printer for their use, not adding it to the system [13:43] zamba: look if the user doing it is in the "admin" group [13:43] I'm having a "No Signal" problem... It happens when im playing WoW. It seems random, i've updated to the current Driver for my video card Nvidia Geforce 9600gt on www.nvidia.com [13:43] ikonia: i think i found the error [13:43] ikonia: the user was in the lpadmin group [13:43] hi everybody [13:43] Ubuntu 8.10 distro [13:43] ActionParsnip, he tells me that he has alreadey the newest nvidia-settings [13:43] zamba: perfect [13:43] ikonia: going to retry now [13:44] ortsvorsteher: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings === spaz_ is now known as Guest86212 [13:45] tyson_: have you double-checked to make sure the monitor cable is plugged in on the back of the computer and monitor? [13:45] ActionParsnip, when i do this, the following message comes: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [13:45] tyson_: okay, let's keep the chat here in case someone else can help :) [13:45] do that then [13:46] is there a way to change the audio file that plays when Ubuntu boots up ? [13:46] ortsvorsteher: sudo nvidia-xconfig === d is now known as Guest9288 [13:46] ActionParsnip, i did, now restart x yes? [13:46] how do i print multiple documents? [13:46] ortsvorsteher: after running that, restart the xserver and then run sudo nvidia-settings [13:47] ActionParsnip, i try and will be back... [13:47] Okay, I'm usin the default Ubuntu installer and I want to make /dev/sda2 , my dos partition, readable by linux. Is there a certain way I need to partition /dev/sda1 ? sda2 is ntfs [13:48] i just got an error msg while updating???? http://paste.ubuntu.com/100317/ [13:48] nillerz: if /dev/sda2 is ntfs it can't be dos [13:48] arthur_: out of disk space ? [13:48] It's vista, same thing [13:48] nillerz: not the same thing - just being clear [13:48] ActionParsnip, still the same :( [13:48] is it safe to use an external hard disk (NTFS) with ubuntu ? [13:48] it's got external power [13:48] nillerz: yes, ntfs can be read-able by ubuntu [13:48] I am trying to connect from ubuntu client to Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I am able to connect from Vista Client, but unable to connect from Ubuntu. Server gives an error 'Failed to load Terminal Server Profile path'. What to configure at ubuntu? [13:49] okay, continuing par usual. [13:49] Gnea: yes my DVI connectors are snug on the monitor and back of the computer. It only black screens and says "No Signal" while im playing wow... and it can be random either 5 minutes or hours [13:49] Grab: you can read ntfs - no problem [13:49] i want to write :P [13:49] !ntfs [13:49] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:49] !NTFS-3g [13:49] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [13:49] ganja-sheep: I know you. [13:49] Grab: I explained the potential risks of writing to ntfs earlier [13:49] !FUSE [13:49] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [13:49] ortsvorsteher: did you run gksudo nvidia-settings [13:49] Grab: please investigate the bot in a private message [13:49] ok [13:50] ntfs r/w support is added to recent kernels [13:50] ActionParsnip, yes, i did. with the same message, which i gave you at last [13:50] Hi i`m using ubuntu for a while now... and i want to print multiple documents [13:50] Who here use irssi? [13:50] ganja-sheep: I do. [13:50] ganja-sheep: a lot of people will [13:50] ./irssi [13:50] tyson_: do you see anything in /var/log/syslog when it happens? [13:50] Nice. First timer here. [13:50] It's... terminal. Lol. [13:51] * Slart is trying out quassel =) [13:51] mvbalgooy: What kind of issues do you have with... printer? [13:51] I'm a little confused, is 64bit ubuntu supposed to be as usable and stable as 32-bit, because I would claim that it is not [13:51] ganja-sheep: and with screen, you can use do irc, email, web browsing, videos and ore in a tty if x breaks :) [13:51] Mythril: it is [13:51] ikonia: does flash work for you consistently? [13:51] Mythril: yes [13:51] Mythril: afaik it's supposed to be as stable as the 32-bit version.. anything specific that didn't work for you? [13:51] Mythril: it is. do you have a specific issue? [13:52] ortsvorsteher: then if you run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:52] ortsvorsteher: then restart x [13:52] don`t have any issue printing.. but i want to print a few document in one time [13:52] ganja-sheep: and pretty advanced for terminal, w/ split display and all that good old time (tm) stuff :) [13:52] ActionParsnip, i try [13:52] ardchoille: Any useful commands? [13:52] Gnea: im not sure, havnt checked when it happens, it black screens and won't recover back to the desktop, cant even ctrl + alt + f1 it to terminal [13:52] mvbalgooy: just send them all to the print queue then [13:52] Gnea: what exactly is the directory you pointed me to [13:52] ganja-sheep: useful commands? [13:52] ortsvorsteher: then run the command you ran before you restarted the xserver last, then restart x server, then run gksudo nvidia-settings [13:53] ardchoille: For the terminal (irssi) or is that every individual commands? [13:53] ganja-sheep: irssi has tons of stuff: /join #irssi [13:53] pulseaudio skips randomly, flash crashes all the damned time, a lot of my favorite software that worked in previous 32-bit versions will not work in 64 (sometimes it's the softwares fault for putting in IA32 asm) [13:53] ActionParsnip, you mean gksudo xserver-settings? [13:53] tyson_: nor alt-sysrq-k? [13:53] how do i do that without opening them [13:54] do you guys believe that ubuntu handles dowloads (even torrents) better than windows ?? [13:54] mvbalgooy: better to open them [13:54] (don't try that ppl, unless you know what you're doing:) [13:54] it seems to download faster [13:54] ActionParsnip, now i the reconfigure is finished [13:54] Mythril: Do your processor support 64 bits? [13:54] Grab: no difference [13:54] Mythril: hmm..and it all works if you use 32-bit? [13:54] ganja-sheep: most definately [13:54] Slart: yes [13:54] ortsvorsteher: restart x server [13:54] ok [13:54] Gnea: Not sure what alt-sysrq-k is, Newb to linux really, but bill gates is on my hated list so its about time to change [13:54] slart: or at least they did in 7.10 [13:54] currently using 8.10 [13:55] okay thanks and [13:55] Mythril: they've changed quite a lot since then.. not everything changed for the better =) [13:55] I've got a question. I've changed the system language from system->administration->support on a 8.10 installation but i still get everything in the old language. Even after creating a new user. The locales have changed in /etc/environment but nothing happened.Any help appreciated [13:55] Mythril: I suppose it could be some driver issue.. graphics or such.. [13:55] tyson_: pressing alt-sysrq-k (SAK) will kill every program running on current console [13:55] ortsvorsteher: ok now run gksudo nvidia-settings [13:56] vasilis: you have to change your desired language on the gdm (where you type your login and pass) [13:56] ActionParsnip, after restarting xserver now i ran gksudo nvidia-settings and still the same problem [13:56] Slart: I can't say I am happy with that concept, if it wasn't for the better, it probably shouldn't be pushed to public users [13:56] tyson_: in a terminal, type this: tail -f /var/log/syslog [13:56] vasilis: and you logged in? [13:56] ortsvorsteher: are you being told to run that command again? [13:56] iLogic_: how do i do that? [13:56] ortsvorsteher: if it is, do so [13:56] ActionParsnip, i try [13:56] tyson_: then try running WoW and after it happens, go back to it and see if any errors showed up for WoW or nvidia [13:56] hi there, im trying to attach a file with a normal browser window. I select a remote location under places, find the file then Open. but it doesnt attach anything. any ideas please? [13:57] vasilis: logout of your current session and try searching for it on the screen where you type your login [13:57] vasilis: /etc/skel or some such might have something overriding it [13:57] sorry guys can i ask one quick noob question and i will leave u alone? [13:57] ActionParsnip, now after running sudo nvidia-xconfig he tells me the following: VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [13:57] Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver [13:57] line. [13:57] ardchoille: You tried me. >_> [13:57] nonix4: cheers, i'll have a look [13:57] Gnea: thanks, i will do right now its showing unregistered pardevice and unable to read device-id ret=-1 [13:57] jrib still not able to open places>computer [13:57] Maggie: you logged out and back in? [13:58] ortsvorsteher: ok, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf & [13:58] Hey does anyone know a program that will convert id3 tags to utf8 automatically from its current encoding. I have a bunch of mp3s with different encodings and can't seem to find a way to find out what they are and to change it over to utf8. I have tried easy tag but it doesn't seem to change it without garbling it up. [13:58] jrib no [13:58] ardchoille: tricked* You know better than to send a man to the battlefield without weapons. I was doomed. Didn't know how to change channel tabs in irssii. :o [13:58] Maggie: do that [13:58] jrib ok [13:58] Is it possible to have a linux-based laptop use less battery life by ONLY playing music, and not doing other background tasks? [13:58] ortsvorsteher: and set a driver line to read: Driver "nvidia" [13:58] nillerz: stop all uneeded services [13:58] what's the lightest weight music player? [13:59] ortsvorsteher: in the configured video device" section [13:59] nillerz: mpd? [13:59] jinja-sheep: Oh, I just figured you knew that much, sorry about that. [13:59] nillerz: aplay [13:59] lemme check that stuff out . . . [13:59] nillerz: all about the same, they all have X11 interfaces etc etc, there is a console one, but that will still open an xterm [13:59] i used to have ubuntu running in a wubi configuration, now that i have a spare internal hard disk, if i install linux onto that hard disk, will i still be able to access the windows partitions without any configuring involed? [13:59] sorry i know im a noob [13:59] nillerz: Install ubuntu-core and start playing music from the command. That'll save you lot of battery. [13:59] nillerz: you could start by installing ubuntu as console-only [13:59] ActionParsnip, i am in this section. now i ave to put in NV4 Geforce6200? [13:59] I could do that, and I might do that, but only off a CD... [13:59] ActionParsnip, i am in this section. now i ave to put in NV44 Geforce6200? [14:00] alexb92: you can't move wubi installs to a seperate disk, you ned to do a clean install, but yes you will be able to access your windows partition [14:00] nillerz: if you do that your cd drive will eat the battery [14:00] yeah im doing a clean install [14:00] Gnea: Could this be a kernel issue? [14:00] ortsvorsteher: no, you need to put: Driver "nvidia" [14:00] alexb92: no problem then [14:00] oh right so no configuring involed? [14:00] USB would be better, wouldn't it? [14:00] tyson_: not sure - did you see anything happen this time? [14:00] nillerz: still a power eater [14:00] * tyta_linux says Hello #Ubuntu [14:00] ortsvorsteher: below where it says Section "Configured Video Device' [14:00] jrib still nothing happened [14:00] Gnea: havn't tried it yet, ill do it now [14:00] tyson_: then say hello rather than "/me hello" [14:00] Maggie: run 'nautilus' in a terminal [14:00] oops [14:00] ActionParsnip, driver is already nvidia [14:00] nillerz: USB has a consistant drool for power [14:00] Can I sort row alphabetically in OO calc? I have 50 names and I want them in alphabetical order [14:00] tyson_: sorry, not you [14:00] I could use a 800 gig partition and like, have it read off other partiitons... [14:01] i have vista installed on one hard drive, xp installed on another and ubuntu will be installed on the third as a clean boot [14:01] so if i install ubuntu on the second disk, i didnt want it to boot as default [14:01] nillerz: the partition size doesn't matter [14:01] alexb92: you'll need ntfs-3g installed for write access but you can read the data just fine without any config [14:01] alexb92: just set grub to boot windows by default [14:01] Nevermind, duh, I could just use sessions... [14:01] oh right k [14:01] ortsvorsteher: ok then try rerunning nvidia-settings [14:01] so when i do a clean install and boot into ubuntu sorry but how do i configure grub? [14:01] I have pppoe on ppp0(eth0) and a local network on eth1, I want to configure iptables in order to have the internet available on the internal network [14:01] ActionParsnip, there is no section configured video device. please look at http://pastebin.com/ff9c0f7b [14:02] I have the following configuration [14:02] Finnish: Use sort command. [14:02] http://rafb.net/p/TWravW90.html [14:02] alexb92: get into ubuntu first then we can help [14:02] on the computer in the local area network only ymessenger,dc++,ftp work(I tested just this) [14:02] Hello, there. xubuntu how to take screenshot ("Print Screen key use") it was easy to take screenshot in ubuntu because of a separate menu there. [14:02] http doesn't wrok on that [14:02] tyson_: do you see anything like the problem here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft/Troubleshooting [14:02] ganja-sheep: Yeah, sort, and whats the command/function in it? [14:02] ohk cool [14:02] Gnea: I tried opening wow after installing the recommended driver for Nvidia and i got about 8 lines of text all saying something about my kernel verison is wrong [14:02] thank you very much guys and sorry for bothering you [14:02] Finnish: Look at sort --help. It'll list the possibility. [14:02] alexb92: it's no bother [14:02] jrib nautilus in terminal opens the home folder [14:02] Gnea: so basically i need to get the correct Kernel version and install it? [14:02] i will do it tomorrow morning its late at night now [14:03] tyson_: okay, are you running 8.04 or 8.10? [14:03] thank you very much i will be back in the morning [14:03] The thing is, I go on huge bike-rides, from here to a town 20 miles away, and I use my laptop as a radio. I can't use headphones, that's asking for trouble, so I just blast it. This drains battery power and it takes 2 hours, each way. I can charge it in town but I'd like to have some power available for delays. [14:03] Gnea: 8.10 ibex [14:03] ortsvorsteher: ok, change line 47 to read: Section "Configured Video Device" [14:03] nillerz: Get a Zune. [14:03] Gnea: is there a way i can respond instead of typing Gnea: each time before i start my message? [14:03] nillerz: the hard drive survives a bike ride? [14:03] Jinja-sheep: I'm cheap. I'm VERY cheap. [14:04] Slart: Yes. I'm a very good cyclist. [14:04] nillerz: but sorry.. this is getting offtopic.. [14:04] lol Slartr [14:04] slart* [14:04] besides, hard drives are really cheap nowadays. [14:04] jrib the real problem that i am having is in the following post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597 [14:04] ortsvorsteher: save the file and close gedit, then rerun the gksudo nvidia-settings command again [14:04] nillerz: Cheap enough to end your life? Having laptop on the bike is absolutely ridiculous. :\ [14:04] ActionParsnip, i put you now the new xorg conf in http://pastebin.com/f2a7dc280 cause in line 47 which you told me to change, i was in section monitr [14:04] tyson_: you could just omit it, but then i might not see it right away [14:04] jinja sheep: It's in the laptop sleeve of my sack. [14:05] tyson_: if you type Gn it should be easier [14:05] Gnea: its fine, i can type it out its not hard just wondering if there was a shortcut [14:05] tyson_: you may need to press tab a couple of times [14:05] What did you think I did? [14:05] ortsvorsteher: huh?? [14:05] I;m not reading slashdot while cruising down the hills... [14:05] I managed to make a BT PAN with ubuntu as master and connected a windows box. I can ping ubuntu from windows, and vice versa.. I can even browse httpd site (running on port 80) from the windows box. but I am unable to connect to vnc from realvnc on windows. the other way - RDP from ubuntu to windows works.. can some one help, are there some ports to open on ubuntu box? how do i start by debuggin [14:05] Maggie: you get that error when you go to places -> home? [14:05] nillerz: make sure it shuts down the screen too.. not really sure how to do that but I guess there has to be a way [14:05] nillerz: especially in this weather... [14:06] nillerz: or you run it without X? [14:06] Gnea: Should i Copy/paste the line? [14:06] jrib i dont get any error [14:06] yeah, I live in an area outside of Buffalo. [14:06] ActionParsnip, i dont know if the last xorg.conf and this one which i pasted you now are identical. so i pasted you at last now the actual xorg.conf. still there is noch section which we search? [14:06] Maggie: why do you believe it's the same problem then? [14:06] tyson_: just the one line, sure [14:06] I can close the lid... doesn't that power off the screen? [14:06] nillerz: still running an X environment though, = more power [14:06] . [14:07] I'll probably go all consoley on it. [14:07] jrib when i open places > computer i get "Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations." === iLogic_ is now known as iLogic [14:07] nillerz: you can tell it what it does in the power management settings: System->Preferences->Power Management [14:07] Gnea: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 177.82, but this kernel module has the version 177.80. Please make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. [14:07] I still gotta get the stuff installed [14:07] nillerz: I have no idea.. but having the screen shut off might save you quite a lot of battery time [14:07] ortsvorsteher: ok, reead line 50 in the pastebin, it says: Section "Device" [14:07] tyson_: ah, okay. what method did you use to install the nvidia drivers? [14:07] ortsvorsteher: this is what it says in your file right now. [14:07] nillerz: and mpd has a command line client so you don't really need X just to play music [14:07] Maggie: ls -l /usr/share/applications/nautilus-computer.desktop [14:08] Gnea: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [14:08] jrib also i cannot mount any usb flash drive [14:08] ortsvorsteher: it NEEDS to be changed to Section "Configured Video Device" [14:08] hi [14:08] I managed to make a BT PAN with ubuntu as master and connected a windows box.

I can even browse httpd site (running on port 80) from the windows box. but I am unable to connect to vnc from realvnc on windows. the other way - RDP from ubuntu to windows works.. can some one help, are there some ports to open on ubuntu box? how do i start by debuggin [14:08] ActionParsnip, yes, so it is. now i am in line 50 which is the following: VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" [14:08] tyson_: okay, are you familiar with the pastebin site?

I've completely restored my Xserver. Both of my monitors are detected and outputted simultaneously. I try to open nvidia-settings and it tells me to nvidia-xconfig, I do, restart the computer and suddenly NOTHING is detected. Is there another way to twinview? [14:09] What's the command line to search for description too with aptitude search? [14:09] Parameters, or that. [14:09] jinja-sheep: same [14:09] what [14:10] jinja-sheep: apt-cache search [14:10] ActionParsnip, okay. i changed line 50 to : Section "Configured Video Device" Is that right now? [14:10] I dont actually *need* language packs, right? [14:10] ortsvorsteher: you can pastebin what you have ityou wish, I can check it [14:10] jinja-sheep: apt-cache search -n appname <-- search names only, no description [14:10] Gnea: just copy/paste the results from terminal to the pastebin site? and hit send?

[14:13] how can i prevent apt from stopping daemons that i am removing? [14:13] actionparsnip, thanks but i need to install an old version not the one in the respository [14:14] gabbler: i think if you specify version it may install [14:14] tyson_: that's really weird... okay, what do you get from this command: grep NVRM /var/log/dmesg [14:14] gabbler: try apt-cache seach java | grep jre [14:14] Gnea: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 177.80 Wed Oct 1 14:38:10 PDT 2008 [14:15] actionparsnip, thanks i did try that and it just came back 5 or 6, whereas i need update 7 rather than what i have [14:15] hello [14:16] by [14:16] tyson_: okay, that's correct... but for some reason, a program that WoW is calling isn't the correct version for it [14:16] a_ok: it makes no sense to keep them running if you are about to remove them [14:16] jrib the problem is still there [14:16] Any reason why I wouldn't want to run a sudo aptitude update/install/safe-upgrade?

[14:17] #ekiga [14:17] gabbler: icedtea-java7-jre [14:17] ActionParsnip, now i have a very bad resolution. but i am happy, something is changed ;) but now after running sudo nvidia-xconfig i get: PARSE ERROR: Parse error on line 50 of section Configured Video Device in file/etc/X11/xorg.conf. "Configured Video Device" is not a valid section name. [14:17] Maggie: see if it happens with a new user [14:17] rit [14:17] Gnea: So something in Wine isn't calling for the right kernel while running WoW? [14:18] ortsvorsteher: is that what you get from nvidia-settings [14:18] ActionParsnip, yes [14:18] kann mir jemand beim man download helfen [14:18] Maggie: pastebin 'apt-cache policy libglib2.0-0' as well [14:18] jrib there is only one user on mu ubuntu box [14:18] endrit, schau mal in den deutschen kanal /j #ubuntu-de [14:18] Maggie: right, so create a fresh new one [14:18] for some reason when I use my Scroll Whell in GNOME TERMINAL i scroll commands and I don't scroll up the window's previous lines... this change happened recently does anybody know what could be causing it?

[14:21] crappy windows quotes [14:21] <__doc__> saschahl: for some of my gaming devices there's a /dev/input/js*, but for some there isn't, and /dev/input/js* doesn't support force feedback [14:21] Gnea: Would uninstalling Wine ( The program i used to run WoW ) and reinstalling it maybe tell it which version to call? [14:21] tyson_: someone else might be able to help you with it, i'm totally out of the loop on this one [14:21] a_ok: i think that is impossible to do an upgrade without downtime... [14:21] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f74c827fd nvidia-settings changed the section back [14:21] ortsvorsteher: i think i got it [14:21] Maggie: your system isn't up to date.

[14:22] erUSUS that is if it does things the way i used to [14:22] ortsvorsteher: on the line below the one you just changed, change: Identifier "Device0" [14:22] ortsvorsteher: to: Identifier "Configured Video Device" [14:22] tyson_: then some portion of it is still installed... maybe in /usr/lib [14:22] Gnea: Is there a way i can delete my nvidia files and just reinstall 177.80 only? [14:23] tyson_: it's not that simple now, you've already installed it [14:23] ortsvorsteher: then change the line in screen that says Device "Device0" to Device "Configured Video Device" [14:23] tyson_: can you pastebin the output of this command: ls -l /usr/lib/libGL* [14:23] Hello everyone...

[14:48] UBUNTU IS OPIUM FOR THE MASSES [14:48] zamba: you might run into problems with some programs that expect write access to /home/user [14:48] HideousNashimoto: stop [14:49] * HideousNashimoto stops [14:49] gehel__: yeah, that's what i'm thinking as well [14:49] Hi! If I rsync single file, it is being copied at 100MB/s, if I rsync same file as part of directory rsync, it is copied at 10MB/s, what should I do? :) [14:49] zamba: I don't know, I assume you need to be able to write sometimes, but why not use the Guest session in intrepid? It wipes all the modifications on logout and starts fresh every time [14:49] gehel__: so i need some abstraction for the solution [14:49] jrib, you should say pause [14:49] (most of CPU time is in %sys) [14:49] zamba: easier solution : use .bash_logout to reset the directory on exit [14:49] now when I start again, I will go all over again [14:49] jrib thanx I was a real pain eh! [14:49] How can i save the pakages in my pc so that in future in dont have to install it from apt-get install pakage [14:49] gehel__ and jrib: oh.. both interesting solutions [14:49] Hi,i installed ubuntu using a disk and everytime i want to install something it asks me for the cdrom .How can i just download the stuff from online? [14:50] does anyone know where the gnome network connection manager saves its config ? [14:50] Bjackppanther use apt-get install package name [14:50] Hey, I tested Banshee and it's really... um... *quiet*. I checked AlsaMixer and there is only one channel, master volume. Do I need to download extra drivers? [14:50] Are there any command line commands I can run to get a list of unmounted drives? [14:50] Bjackpanther use apt-get install package name [14:50] BlackWolf90, remove the cd from your list of sources [14:50] jrib: what limitations does the guest user have? [14:50] Okay...while not using the Nvidia X driver, my two screens both display simultaneously, but identically. When I nvidia-xconfig OR install another nvidia driver with EnvyNG...one monitor won't be detected. What is up? How can I enable TwinView!? [14:51] jrib: and is it possible to set up several different guest users? [14:51] B|ackPanther: remove the cdrom from the source list in /etc/apt/source* [14:51] zamba: all I know is it exists in intrepid, I've never used it [14:51] BlackWolf90, system.. admin...software sources [14:51] xnv - dmesg or dmsg [14:51] jrib: ok [14:51] Hi, does anybody know how the complete audio chain is arranged in Ubuntu (8.04)? It seems that there is a stack of different drivers (PulseAudio, Alsa, OSS?, alsamixer, amixer, gnome-audio-mixer) that each do their part in the audiochain, and that one of them blocks/mutes the microphone signal. I want to use an external USB sound device (Andrea USB-SA)... [14:51] one of the two [14:51] B|ackPanther: you can also use synaptic to configure that graphically [14:51] omnydevi: No, I mean something useful [14:51] xnv - dmesg or dmsg [14:51] Guys, I'm planning to maintain, and support a new Linux-like kernel. [14:51] omnydevi: Not useful [14:52] it shows you everything you need to know [14:52] Jack_Sparrow, you want B|ackPanther, not me ;) [14:52] omnydevi: And a bunch of other junk [14:52] aad: sound in Linux is still a big mess an is going to stay that way for some time ;-) good luck ! [14:52] not sure how that isnt useful [14:52] Are you interested? [14:52] A_legend, That would be a question for a different channel.. [14:52] BlackWolf90, corect.. thanks [14:52] What channel? [14:52] omnydevi: It's a waste of time. What typical user wants to wade through dmesg just to mount a hard drive? [14:52] A_legend, That would be a question for a different channel.. no [14:52] !kernel [14:52] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [14:53] xnv - one who cares about their system [14:53] I'm making changes to code! [14:53] Okay...while not using the Nvidia X driver, my two screens both display simultaneously, but identically. When I nvidia-xconfig OR install another nvidia driver with EnvyNG...one monitor won't be detected. What is up? How can I enable TwinView!? [14:53] A_legend, Please stop [14:53] lars - go to nvidia settings on ... [14:53] omnydevi: I care about my system and I don't want to wade through dmesg. [14:53] lars uh, crap. administrative things [14:53] !dmesg [14:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg [14:54] xnv, Most users dont need to wade through dmsg to mount a drive [14:54] gehel__ - that is too bad. Can I disable parts of the whole audio chain? E.g. disable PulseAudio and try to only use ALSA? Then I can concentrate on a smaller part to get it working... [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: Right. Nor should they. [14:54] helo guys [14:54] xnv, is it a usb hard drive? [14:54] Please help me!! My sound keeps going out. It works fine under the guest session. [14:54] omnydevi, I do, however, before I do that I need to "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and restart...which causes one monitor to not be detected any longer [14:54] ohzie: "It"? [14:54] can anyone tell me why i am unable to view the screen when i am using Kubuntu 8.10 [14:54] xnv, the drive you're trying to mount. [14:55] xnv, I didnt see your question, I just got up.. Would you repeat it for me [14:55] ohzie: I'm trying to get a list of mountable devices [14:55] I am having Nvidia 6200 Graphics card [14:55] Preferably those that aren't already mounted [14:55] xnv, sudo fdisk -l for a start [14:55] xnv, Oh okay. I saw him comment about dmesg and I thought you were having trouble mounting something. [14:55] My laptop is now incapable of accessing the internet via eth0. Any ideas? I have none, frankly. [14:56] nillerz, How did you get there? [14:56] hello anyone plz help me [14:56] xnv, there are also scripts that will mount all your windows drives but unless something odd is going on you should not even need to gdo that [14:56] lars not sure, you might not have the right driver for the job [14:56] dunno just decided to not work anymore. [14:57] I didn't even touch any network settings, it just stopped. My router and modem seem to be fine though [14:57] omnydevi, then where do I find the right driver and which one is it? [14:57] lars if you did, i think it would work much better :) you go into your xorg.conf and change the nv to nvidia or vice versa? [14:57] I'm using the same router and same modem for the other computer through which I'm chatting to you fine gentlemen [14:57] lars - i recommend envyng [14:57] Nvidia and Kubuntu do they have probs? === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [14:57] Anyone get display problems with Google Earth ? It runs OK but takes ages to switch back to after minimise and when it does come up it sort of hogs the display with various areas of the Gnome GUI whited out. === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [14:57] omnydevi, did you read my original question? I EnvyNG and it only does the same thing. [14:58] Is there any way to make gksu not gray out everything behind it? [14:58] lars you using driver 173 or 177? [14:58] Jack_Sparrow: Seems like there should be a command-line app to do this all by now. [14:58] omnydevi: 173 [14:58] no option for 177 [14:58] could try out 177 [14:58] 177 failed for me, so i use 173, but if it didnt work, i would go 177 :D [14:58] how can i know what drivers are installed for my video card ? [14:59] xnv, Please end the discussion and tell us what kind of drive etc and ask a specific question [14:59] omnydevi: where do I get 177? [14:59] Lars - administrative stuff, uhh...let me think....hardware drivers i think, something like that [14:59] Lars - sorry, at work and on my xp box...and still fairly new to ubuntu. I don't remember it all off the top of my head yet [14:59] Lars, what chipset on the nvidia and what release / os [15:00] Hey many flash is not working [15:00] any solution [15:00] dared on 64 bit os?

[15:00] Jack_Sparrow: I'm on 8600gt, 8.04, acer m2n32-sli deluxe motherboard [15:01] Jack_Sparrow: I did ask a specific question and keep getting unrelated answers. The only "discussion" was to explain how the answers were wrong. It appears the right answer is "No" [15:01] omyydevi yap [15:01] omydevi yap [15:01] xnv, I thought fdisk -l worked rather well. [15:01] omnydevi, "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" is empty [15:01] ohzie: Doesn't apply to all mountable media [15:01] xnv, At the mommmment you are trolling.. I just joined and want to know your specific question without your commentary [15:01] grab ooer! do you have a nvidia config or something to due with nvidia? [15:01] xnv, It's the closest thing you'll get unless you sift. [15:01] omnydevi i installed flash 10 and flash-pluginnonfree [15:02] ohzie: Sift? [15:02] omnydevi, i dont know ?

[15:03] xnv, try lshw | grep /dev/ [15:03] xnv, sudo that though [15:04] Lars, Yes, the 8000 nvidia's have been the most troublesome [15:04] Lars - it should say something about video driver. if it is vesa, that may be it [15:04] xnv, I think that does it pretty awesomely. [15:04] hello, me again... [15:04] xnv, If it's not what you're looking for lemme know though. [15:04] I'll try again. :3 [15:04] lars - or you could install envyng as well and let it do the work for you [15:04] oops [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: The real problem is that one monitor detects as a CTR, the other disappears [15:05] sorry, i didnt sleep last night, minds kinda going all over the place [15:05] can i overwrite deb files? i have wine 0.9.59 and want to install 1.0.0.

Sometimes I can sit this thing down and my mouse goes haywire, I think it has something to do with the mouse button between G and H keys. [15:48] floatboat - it has ip filters that block garbage ips and has data encryption that bypasses some isp p2p bandwidth throttlers. plus a few more nifty features [15:48] my syslog doesn't contain any setting for apache ... [15:48] is that strange ? [15:48] is realtek 8100 supported by linux? [15:49] r|z0n: Nope, to be honest, I don't have any issues at all, sound, graphics, mouse, keyboard - all work fine, even desktop effects although they can be a bit slow [15:51] anyone can help me how to decrease my disk usage in my terminal? [15:52] Everything works great on this one too.. Especially after I replaced the 256 MB ram with 512... I can't play DVD's from Linux though... really about the only issue... plus the mouse issue I mentioned earlier.... [15:52] is there a way to create a ext3 partition without formating ? [15:52] gizmo: use "df -h" to display disk usage, and "du -hs /path/to/directory" to show the size of a directory [15:52] DJones, has your 8100 suggested that you enable the restricted drivers for the video? [15:53] gst-kaps - whats fs is the partition now? [15:53] oooh my god.,...its happen again [15:53] my ubuntu suddenly logout [15:53] DJones, mine did, and I enabled them and this thing went downhill.. i dont think the restricted drivers (NVidia drivers) that ubuntu suggests work too well with this laptop. [15:53] omnydevi:gparted says its unallocated, but actually its a corrupted ext3 partition, where my ubuntu was installed [15:54] jim_p: what's a realtek 8100? LAN chip? Wireless? [15:54] r|z0n: Yes, I'm using the nvidia driver from the repo, that was a problem to start with because of the nvidia issues, but the fixes seem to have worked fine, I'm not sure which driver I'm using at the minute though (I'm in work, the laptop is at home) [15:54] gst-kaps, are you on the live cd right now then? and what tool says it is corrupted? [15:54] gst-kaps: well, then you're likely gonna have to format it.. usually unallocated, means nothing is there.. are you sure you didn't accidently delete that partition? [15:55] DJones, I need to get a battery for this laptop. I hardly use this laptop except when I'm on the go. It was given to me, had a bad hard drive in it. Replaced with a WD 60 GB. Except being heavy as an anchor, this thing is solid as a rock. Great machine for its age. [15:55] omnydevi:yes on live cd , gparted says so, and fdisk doesnt show it up [15:55] hello [15:55] gst - yeah, Indy is right. Most likely you are going to have to reformat. Did you use guided or manual? [15:55] IndyGunFreak:yeah I am sure i didnt deleted the partition [15:55] How do I add new/custom keyboard layout in Intrepid? [15:55] Do you know if you can put a battery in the place of the floppy drive and have 2 batteries running simultaneously on this thing? [15:56] jim_p: ah, it's another codename for r8139-compatible NIC's; yeah, linux supports them [15:56] gst-kaps: then i would suspect some sort of hardware failure, is it setup w/ Ubuntu and XP? [15:56] !keyboard | msh1 [15:56] msh1: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [15:56] r|z0n: Same here, I replaced a hdd, but the rest of it is great, 8+ years old and can still beat some new laptops. Yes, you can have two batteries fitted, as you say, one in the floppy bay [15:56] IndyGunFreak:yes, after i installed xp it screwed my ubuntu [15:56] gst ahhh yeah [15:57] following the trouble shooting steps to get rid of pulseaudio to get skype working [15:57] gst-kaps: i'm just guessing, that XP tried to take that partition. [15:57] gst - windows broke it. windows bootloader is most likely to blame [15:57] gst-kaps: cuz if it shows unallocated, that means there's no file system. [15:57] Temujin_, i still dont know. i am waiting its owner to mail me his lspci!!! [15:57] and it tells me its going to get rid of Remove the following packages: [15:57] ubuntu-desktop [15:57] thus no OS [15:57] gst it will write on the first hdd and the first partition it sees period. there is no option to change it [15:57] daleharvey: its just a meta-package, no big deal [15:57] omnydevi: but now whats the option to get it work ? [15:57] gst - reinstall ubuntu mate...sorry [15:57] Induy: I know this but this is not letting me add a new layout of my own. do you know something? i mean exact the directory where these layouts are? [15:58] DJones, thats pretty cool. i noticed the battery fit in the floppy bay, but didn't know if it would actually work,, This thing was built pretty tough. I'd say for a second owner that its in mint shape. But you can tell that the plastic that its made out of is a much higher quality than plastics the newer laptops are made out of. [15:58] msh1: unfortunately i don't [15:58] ok, tentatively say Y [15:58] *says [15:58] IndyGunFreak, omnydevi:: but then how can I recover data from there ? [15:59] gst - you could try to copy it to a usb, or use the linux rescuecd...that would be your best bet. no telling really what xp did though [15:59] gst-kaps: well, hopefully you backed up prior.. because if its unallocated, there's no file system, and it will be very difficult to get data off the partition.. most likely the data is gone [15:59] yeah, most likely winblows formatted the whole thing during install [16:00] Hey i installed flashplugin-nonfree but still it is not working [16:00] omnydevi: well, it probably didn't format it, because if it did, it would be NTFS, not unallocated [16:00] DJones, I have a toshiba laptop that my parents bought me about 5 years ago, its a nice machine, but its literally fallen apart. hinge busted on it and the outer plastic is scratched to death. For the money I thought it would have been a little more durable, like this Dell laptop. [16:00] Indy you are right. I think the best bet is from livecd to mount the partition and see if anything is on it. [16:00] I ended up having to hook an external keyboard/mouse and LCD to the Toshiba laptop and turn it into a desktop. Impossible to use it with an LCD that has a broken hinge. [16:00] IndyGunFreak:omnydevi: it didnt formatted the whole , as i saw the process closly, how can I recue data [16:01] omnydevi: yup.. [16:01] r|z0n: I've had mine since new, it was top of the range when I got it. Built to last :) [16:01] omnydevi,don't be ignorant,you can choose which partition to install Windows on,after install,the mbr is rewriten so you won't be able to boot ubuntu until you fix it [16:01] Quick question, if I have a machine that has Windows Remote Desktop enabled, is it possible to mount a drive from there in a simple way? I know I could just RDP to the thing and restart it to Ubuntu and just use ssh, but looking for a solution that doesn't involve RDP'ing to the machine graphically [16:01] omnydevi:i tried mounting [16:01] its not getting mounted [16:01] gst-kaps: waive your magic wand, and rescue the data, i'ev told you.. if there's no file system, its very unlikely, there's any data [16:01] DJones, thanks for the chat about this laptop. Hope I didn't aggravate you any.. its not every day you run into someone that has the same hardware as you and can give you experience about it. [16:01] and I am unable to see any partition name [16:01] lol.. [16:02] Unknown - thanks for the input. Since you seem to know more, why not try telling kaps what to do :p [16:02] you don't have a partition, its unallocated space [16:02] r|z0n: No probs, hope you get the niggles sorted anyway [16:02] anyone here know much about editing firefox (about:config) and printers? ie can a printer overwrite the settings as i keep changing them and they change back.... [16:02] DJones, I am quite impressed with the "features" of this thing. It's not every day that you find a laptop that has serial port, floppy drive, and DVD rom in it. [16:03] i wish i had a job so i could buy a decent laptop with intel graphics [16:03] hmm [16:03] what's the difference between binary and source? [16:03] I use the serial port a lot for working with things like managed switches and routers, and with the Toshiba laptop I got, I had to use a USB converter. So I'd say that even after I buy a NEW laptop (something that is vista capable) I'll still hold onto this one as long as it continues to work just because of the extra (older) features it offers. [16:03] my vote is, xp broke it, and reinstalling ubuntu is necessary. sounds like more than a mbr issue [16:03] ac3_0f_spad3s: source you compile to get the binary :) [16:04] Hey guys how can i install the software from source on my ubuntu [16:04] ? [16:04] hi. I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me? [16:04] omnydevi: IndyGunFreak: ok, i though there maybe someone known to it, anyways also how can I recover data from a ddrecued image [16:04] k kitche thanks [16:04] binary are the executables and ready to go versions, source is the "if you want to see/edit the code" version [16:04] I wonder if they make 512 MB chips that will work in the 8100. I bet this thing would run like a champ if it had a gig of ram in it. [16:04] kaps - google rescuecd and download that. [16:04] daredevilthere: what software are you trying to install? [16:04] then burn the iso, i would apt-get install k3b as well [16:04] daredevilthere: you need to setup your box for building, see build-essential, and possibly any other tools. [16:04] any software [16:05] gst,reinstall grub ( can't see why XP would corrupt another installation unless ofcourse you chose to install on the same partition .. ) [16:05] !grub [16:05] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:05] hii [16:05] so u mean i only need build essentials to intall the software from source [16:05] :) === vasyok is now known as ctulhu_fhtagn [16:05] not to say that it doesn't run fine now with 512 MB (256x2) but sometimes I find this thing slowing down when I have several Mozilla windows open, a few terminal windows and a few Gedit windows (do PHP programming) [16:05] ubottu - ftw! [16:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ftw! [16:05] daredevilthere: no, thats just the essentials. The rest is dependant on how you build [16:05] question: I want to burn Ubuntu 8.10 to discs, but I don't have any blank CDs and its too cold to go out to the store today. Can I use a blank DVD? [16:05] daredevilthere: it depends on what software you're installing [16:06] daredevilthere,yes that installs the compilers/headers so you can compile code [16:06] ahan [16:06] I c [16:06] strangeseraph: yes, you can [16:06] okay :) [16:06] do I use the regular iso image or is there a DVD specific image to use? === ctulhu_fhtagn is now known as nekromant [16:06] Are debs pakages are better to install or from source? [16:07] use debs, if possible [16:07] then wht are debs pakages are they binary files? [16:07] Always .debs if possible [16:07] they're binary files, yes. [16:07] strangeseraph: maybe some very old bioses or drives won't support it though, but I've never seen such case. [16:07] well, they're packages which include binaries amongst other things [16:07] !ohmy > omnydevi [16:07] omnydevi, please see my private message [16:07] Well anyone tell me wht is dmesg? and wht this command do and how can we use it [16:08] what happened to that app that used to be in System > Administration > Hardware Devices? [16:08] I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me? [16:08] okay, so I have the torrent of 8.10 downloading. What is a sumcheck, do I need it since this is a torrent? Or should I check it just in case? [16:08] daredevilthere: what are you trying to do? [16:08] DJones, Again thanks for the chat. I'm going to get off here and see if I can fix a few bugs in this thing. I'll be back later. [16:08] hey all: can anyone recommend an online backup service on the lines of Mozy / Backblaze / Carbonite that supports linux? [16:08] Has anyone had any experience with SSH? My ssh has stopped working -- I keep getting "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors... [16:08] i am just tryig to learn ubuntu and learning commands [16:08] i mean to get hold on my system [16:08] I currently have Wubi on this laptop, but I want to use JUST Linux and have Vista or XP on my old laptop.

While waiting, I noticed that there is both an ssh_config and an sshd_config in /etc/ssh, and that the ssh_config bizarrely had "PasswordAuthentication no" instead of "PasswordAuthentication yes"; when I changed this to "yes" and restarted the sshd, lo-an-behold, I could ssh into both my localhost and the remote machine... YAY! [16:26] daredevilthere, I prefer totem myself, can't be bothered to learn mplayer [16:26] that, and it's already installed :p [16:26] testuser- wow, nice [16:26] Hmm totem slider is not good [16:26] captspify: thank you for offering to email a remote host to test my ssh on, I won't be needing that email after all. Thank you again, captspify! [16:27] dared - you can always download whatever you want and play with it, if you don't like it, just delete it and try another ;) [16:27] testuser, might consider setting up an ssh key, and using that instead of password auth [16:27] testuser- not a problem, glad I could help anyway. hope it all works well!

[18:01] homy i cannot connect to internet with the static IP [18:02] csc_: I presume that if you use LVM on both partitions you can extend the way you are talking about [18:02] omnydevi: are you still there? [18:02] unop: yup thanx that's the idea...1) boot gpart livecd 2) backup 3) resize 4) restore....the backup process is what I don't know how to perform...which would me the best dd tar ?? any parameters notes to care about? [18:02] csc_: but livecd's usually don't use lvm, as it's a complicated mess unnecessary for a simple live cd [18:02] marco, dinamically? [18:02] tlvb: I have no idea, I haven't looked because no one gave any suggestions and I'm on the verge of fucking panic here! [18:02] homy i have ubuntu 8.10 i followed this paper but not works... http://www.itech7.com/Linux/Ubuntu-810-internet-connection-for-a-static-IP [18:02] marco, i need to extend the root partition of my livecd dinamically [18:02] csc_: would require unmounting the root partition I'm afraid [18:02] sandjkirkland: i think you can remove the right to execute for the group and for the others ; then you are the only one who can open it [18:03] csc_:you can always mount hdd partitions on points you need space on the livecd though, it would be simpler [18:03] any help??? :( [18:03] marco, what do you mean [18:03] LuXor: did you right-click network manager applet and use that gui (right click on the network icon in the top right and select Edit Conenctions...) [18:03] Lillymon: ah, well to my knowledge /var/log is the standard logging directory, and looking at a local computer here I can see that there is a fsck directory in it [18:04] "fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=c1f497b5-987b-4dbb-b705-b6fcfdf28890'" [18:04] hbit, i recommend tar. (cd /path/to/src && tar cf - .) | (cd /path/to/dest && tar xf -) [18:04] homy nope.. i was just following the paper what i have just gave you [18:04] unop, what does mediaubuntu have to do with me playing wav files on ubuntu 8.10 [18:04] Can someone explain this to me? I got this message when doing $ sudo apt-get upgrade: [18:04] csc_: say, you need, for a reason, space in /usr/share on the live CD. You simply mount a partition with free space on the HD to /usr/share [18:04] The following packages will be upgraded: libopal-2.2 transmission-cli transmission-common [18:04] 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [18:04] Need to get 3849kB of archives. [18:04] After this operation, 4096B of additional disk space will be used. [18:04] Wyhiwyl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:04] It died with exit status 8, which appears to indicate an "Operational error". [18:04] Do you want to continue [Y/n]? [18:04] csc_: Or just use a symbolic link, even more versatile [18:04] macman_, the w32codecs package is available on medibuntu [18:04] LuXor: ok, so try that. Its easier anyway. Ok, so do you have the "Network Connections" Dialog open? [18:05] When I try to activate a NVIDIA driver with Hardware driver application, a new window shows with a progress bar, but it happens so fast i can't see whats going on, i think nothing happens. i tried to restart but no driver is installed. anyone knows what's wrong? please [18:05] now, does anyone know what pixie magic ubuntu does to auto mount removable devices?? [18:05] hi [18:05] hi. [18:05] anybody there [18:05] homy you mean configure the IP-s from the Network Manager? [18:05] 1423 of us, whats your issue? [18:05] unop: thanks for the help [18:05] LuXor: yes: right click on network manager, select "Edit connections" [18:05] unop, can i install that via apt-get ? [18:06] homy & then? [18:06] omnydevi: can you help me with my driver problem i talked about? please [18:06] hi, how can i download man page 2 & man page 3 ? (for the system calls, chmod (2) for instance) [18:06] macman_, yes, as long as you have the medibuntu repository setup. [18:06] For some reason my session never becomes inactive - the screensaver won't start and worse, the computer doesn't auto suspend! [18:06] LuXor: is it a wired or wireless network you want to set a static ip for? [18:06] Koordin: install manpages-dev [18:06] iderik - install envyNG through Synaptic [18:06] koordin: try "man 2 syscalls" or "man 2 intro" [18:06] I only have firefox and google reader running (greader in prism) [18:07] homy & no.. its some zyxel modem connected to lan card.. i don know what is name of that [18:07] iderik - that program will detect your nVidia card and install the correct driver if the hardware way is failing [18:07] I beg of you, how come no one knows how ubuntu mounts removable devices? Does it use a daemon? How one could configure it? [18:07] Hmmm. Does gnome-power-manager rely on the screensaver to tell it the session is idle? [18:07] LuXor: so basically you just want to connect to the internet? [18:08] homy & yes [18:08] marco, it's more complicated than that. basically my custom livecd has a squash filesystem which is 5,3GB. whenever data is required for it , it's expanded in the root fs / (not a precise point), which is a disc in ram. i need to extend this ram disc with some partition on a real hd.. i hope the prob is clear [18:08] LuXor: do you have dsl? [18:08] or what kind of a modem is it? [18:08] my windows are auto loaded "stuck" to the top left corner of my screen, what preference will turn this off? Or is this a video card issue? [18:08] OK, now what the hell is an operational error? [18:08] csc_: but surely where you need the most space? /home? === Franky_ is now known as cman [18:09] mgolisch: thanks that's it [18:09] homy & yes its DSL, and the modem is ZyXel ( i dont know model ) [18:09] LuXor: ok, so select the DSL tab in "Network Connections" [18:09] If I actually use a live CD, what the hell do I actually DO with it? [18:09] homy there is some user and password to configure... no static ip [18:10] I reckon ubuntu talks softly to usb devices convincing them to mount like magic? [18:10] Koordin: yeah quite annoying that those important bits arent installed by default, but i guess the standard ubuntu user wouldnt even know what syscalls or libc is at all [18:10] :) === cman is now known as leavemealone [18:10] LuXor: yes. the details you got from your provider. Why do you want to set a static ip address? [18:10] mgolisch: or even how the system auto mounts removable devices... [18:10] sure ;o) [18:10] and the middle user know irc : ) [18:10] knows* [18:11] homy because on windows it needs to be configured. and when you configure it your on the internet in some seconds... [18:11] homy i dont know elseway to connect to internet [18:11] I need to fsck my disks using a live CD, but I've not a clue how to do that. It's all well and good saying "Use a live CD", but how damn you? What do I type and what do I do? [18:11] marco: what is the problem you are having with your removable device? [18:12] hot_rod_hippie: I'm a curious type. I wanted to configure whatever is automagically mounting usb devices to try to configure the default permissions for vfat devices [18:12] lilly - i would guess you load the live cd, mount your drive, and use an application to scan and repair the disk [18:12] hot_rod_hippie: this is linux after all, should be easy to custom simple file permissions, isn't it? [18:12] omnydevi: "an application"? How descriptive. It'll be a Kubuntu 8.10 CD. [18:13] hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal? [18:13] LuXor: sorry, as I know it, ussually you get password/username from your provider (if you have a usb-modem). Maybe sb else can help you [18:13] unop, i just installed it and w32codec .. should i reboot and play the wmv in totem ? [18:13] lilly - sweet, forgive me, i am new to this myself. someone said earlier gparted had a scan and repair utility, i would look for that [18:13] i need some serious help... tried to upgrade alsa and now my ubuntu says i dont have any sound devices... and no one in the alsa channel is talking... anyone have any advice? === Mud is now known as Mud|game [18:13] Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10 [18:13] macman_, you shouldn't have to reboot - a simple restart of totem should be enough [18:13] Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10 [18:13] killall command is just "Killall App" yea? [18:13] LuXoR - can you set your IP in your router? [18:14] hi! [18:14] when i run "import pygtk" in python console it runs without errors but when i run script with this line i get "IndentationError: unexpected indent"!any help? [18:14] LuXoR - most routers have an option to set IP based on mac address [18:14] can someone help me with mounting my usb drives? The memory stick mounts just fine the hard drives will not mount @ all. [18:14] omnydevi no i cant... the provider not giving me the password [18:14] is this OS problem or python error? [18:14] pzivkovic, there's #python [18:14] marco: how curious are you? there are graphical ways to control automounts [18:14] pzivkovic, sounds like an error you have made with the python code [18:14] killall command for myth please? [18:14] hot_rod_hippie: including default permissions? I'm quite curious actually ;-) [18:15] hello. how can I see which program uses/blocks the audio dev? [18:15] exists a channel related to the proprietary ati drivers ? [18:15] unop, that code i copied from devhelp [18:15] i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx [18:15] unop, it sounds like ubuntu pygtk problem [18:15] is there pygtk in ubuntu? [18:15] omnydevi any help? [18:15] pzivkovic, yea, though code formatted on webpages is hardly proper [18:16] pzivkovic, make sure that line has no leading whitespace [18:16] pzivkovic: Are you sure your indenting properly? Python requires strict indentation rules, no lines can have improper leading whitespace [18:16] hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal? [18:16] you're* [18:16] Hi all. I'm having a problem installing virtualbox guest additions. I'm running vbox on Ubuntu 7.10 (vbox 1.5.0 OSE) and the guest OS that I want to install the guest additions stuff on is Ubuntu 8.10. I've tried installing via the Guest Additions ISO and running the install script, and by apt-get installing the vbox source and utils package on the guest system. Unfortunately both lead to errors... Anyone else had this problem? [18:16] dman: maybe 'killall -9 myth' or 'killall -9 myth*' if that dont work try 'ps aux |grep myth*' and find the pid, then 'kill -9 dman, eseven73, never kill -9 right off the bat - that's dangerous === Leo35M is now known as wal3 [18:17] qdb: Yes, that's normal, check /etc/shadow, I'm guessing irc doesn't have a password, just like all the other users (www-data, nobody, etc) [18:17] ok [18:17] unop Unpacking w32codecs (from .../w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu3_i386.deb) [18:17] thanks [18:17] lol unop ooops :/ [18:17] macman_, what's that? [18:17] eseven73, really - don't [18:17] LuXoR - you have a router or just a modem? [18:17] unop, showing you that i installed mediaubuntu and installed w32codec [18:18] macman_, ok [18:18] ubuntu 8.10 = the suck [18:18] unop, ASULutzy thanks!it was whitespaces problem!didn't know py is so strict about it!thanks again [18:18] unop, gxine , totem nothing will play the wmv [18:18] let me try vlc [18:18] pzivkovic: yep, in the future, remember this is Ubuntu support, for python support, #python, but glad I could help [18:18] can I take a folder from one user and copy it to another user === marco is now known as marco_away [18:18] unop: i hear people in here saying 'kill -9 ' all the time, so i never thought it as a danger :/ [18:19] sandjkirkland, sure [18:19] eseven73: You don't want to kill -9 something for no good reason, kill sends a signal which tells a process to cleanup and die gracefully, if you do kill -9 you're not giving the process a chance to cleanup, you're abruptly killing it [18:19] unop Would this work Copy folder, logout, login to other user, paste [18:20] or .... [18:20] eseven73, http://sial.org/howto/shell/kill-9/ [18:20] yes i know, but again i hear everyone else doing it in here, so i didnt think it was that big of a deal :) [18:20] eseven73: kill sends sig 15 which is TERM by default, kill -9 sends signal 9, which is KILL, check the man page :) [18:20] ASULutzy, i tried there but it requires registration.Sorry for offtopic.How can i register myself on this server? [18:20] unop, wheni play the file i get this error "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported." [18:20] i'll try #help [18:20] ;) [18:20] pzivkovic: /msg NickServ [18:21] sandjkirkland, i would say - copy the folder to it's destination, assign right permissions and ownership, log out, log back in, etc [18:21] macman_, yea, that's something i have never managed to get around - encrypted wmvs - not sure it's even possible on linux (yet) [18:21] LuXoR - if you have just a modem you are going to have a rough time trying to set your ip static. you will need some kind of router for that. depending on the router i might be able to walk you into it. [18:21] dang .. so unop play it in windows ? [18:22] need to remove all traces of mysql, command for this would be?? [18:22] eseven73, if everyone jumps off the Brooklyn bridge - would you? :) [18:22] .. let me restart [18:22] Hi I'm new to ubuntu I have always used windows and before that Dos. What are some of the things I should know about Ubuntu and Linux? [18:22] lol ok ok i got the point [18:22] Âñåì ïðèâåò... [18:23] åñòü êòî ðàçãîâàðèâàò ïî ðóññêè? [18:23] .nick Carbon [18:23] xdsl_user, english please [18:23] sorri [18:23] hi [18:23] dman: You could start by sudo apt-get purge mysql-server maybe? [18:24] hmm, what is the difference from apt-get remove and apt-get purge? [18:24] marco: do you want to assign permissions to the entire drive? [18:24] omnydevi: remove just removes the program, purge removes the program and its config files I believe [18:24] unop: I'll perform a backup of my filesystem to an external usb drive (fat)...is there a way of doing this without having to create an ext3 filesystem on the usb drive ..create an iso or something 15GB's [18:24] ASUL - thank you, good to know. I just used remove...doh! [18:25] maybe man apt helps you === AMIT is now known as Guest98413 [18:25] i could read the man, but faster to get an answer here, since i am at work and ubuntu-less atm === thecube is now known as technodub [18:25] ok [18:26] hbit, you can create a tarball with tar - it has the capability to preserve permissions and ownership so you don't have to create a new filesystem [18:26] hbit: You can use dd and make an image if you want to, there's also the option of tar'ing / [18:26] should i trust and make all the updates ? [18:26] hbit, the only problem is that FAT has a filesize limitation - you might have to split the tarball up into many peices [18:26] I bought an off-business lease laptop Dell D620 & it shows as being a very compatibe pc for ubuntu. My question is ...this system has a 100gb hdd that has a fresh install of XP Pro on it and I already have 2 other laptops, so its not like I'm without microcrap alternatives. ;) With that said I want to know what is my best course of action in setting up this laptop ...should I partition the hdd and leave XP or just format and install u [18:26] Katangawise, are you still there? [18:26] trust yes [18:27] it r u sure? [18:27] but be sure you check the release infos [18:27] on the site [18:27] Sorry bad english ... I know what you can use the client on ubuntu for IRC? [18:27] Hello. How can I know what ports ubuntu is using???????? [18:27] Quagmire: That's really a matter of personal preference, personally I would keep Windows on there, at least until you're sure Ubuntu is working fine for you... It would be silly to blow up the Windows install only to discover that Ubuntu isn't supported for some strange reason by your hardware [18:27] Quagmire : It depends, if you would like to use windows on that laptop as well as ubuntu, then a partition will obviously be best. [18:27] Quag - depends. if you have important files i would back them up and use the whole pc. you still have 2 copies of winblows to use. wouldn't hurt to have a full ubuntu box. i would at least [18:27] !ports [18:27] sure because bugs always exists [18:27] For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [18:27] how does the md5 checksum works? [18:27] xdsl_user: What is your native language? [18:28] Quagmire, depends on your needs. i sort of like having both os's with me so i have both on my laptops. you can always blow the xp partition out later if you decide it's uneccesary [18:28] md5 sums it's a long story [18:28] technodub, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/md5 [18:28] but every file even with a different file name [18:28] has other md5sum [18:29] It, not every file - surely [18:29] unop yes not every file...

Mouse moves, can break out into CLI, but cannot move/minimize any windows on ubuntu desktop, although dos prompt in tsclient window still active. . . . . .very strange?

[18:36] Jessid : i agree also about netstat [18:36] It, ok, thanks a lot!!!! [18:36] jessid :> [18:36] but maybe sudo netstat if you have default settings...

[19:31] hot_rod_hippie: and it should have some kind of documentation, but it seems something so simple is so hard to find [19:31] omnydevi: i'm not so sure where that is exactly. there is device, monitor and screen sections [19:31] zigzags: Or you could set a keyboard shortcut for the system monitor.

[19:39] how can i install the msn on ubuntu?!? [19:39] armornick: it is not likely mark is rich enugh ;-) [19:39] vitin_, sudo apt-get install amsn [19:39] vitin, ask in winehq or install vbox etc [19:39] hey guys does anyone know of a way to make my nokia n73 cell work as a webcam in ubuntu.

The official MSN Messenger client is only officialy avaliable for Windows systems [19:39] vitin_ you can use pidgin with msn [19:40] vitln_:as the other users said, you can use alternatives, but they aren't likely to support all the features of the offical client [19:40] hi guys, I have a doubt about using evolution with spamassassin and IMAP.

It is incompatible with newer UDF DVDs because no one seems to bother about making linux distros compatible to them. Or at least that's what I found from google. [20:27] yellabs, WyHiWyL .. there is a lot of disabled options ie .. --disable-armv5te --disable-armv6 [20:27] hwilde: running pulse screws up my mixer, which is why i don't want it. my card processes multiple streams just fine, i don't need a sound server [20:28] macman sorry mate, its man ffmpeg [20:28] to see help\ [20:28] StuckMojo, I have told you how to remove it completely if that's what you want to do [20:28] where does samba store user/pw info?

[20:30] StuckMojo, read the link from ubottu about alsa. it explains how to set alsa as the default [20:30] !alsa > StuckMojo [20:30] StuckMojo, please see my private message [20:30] macman_: you download this file from internet? if so, i think the process is not successful, because the duration is very short, just about 5secs [20:30] LordDicranius, usually all you really need to look for is the one that says "default" that is your default gateway [20:30] Jack_Sparrow: made it to "Select and install software" so far - "configuring language-pack-en-base" [20:30] ok [20:30] marabout, great.. well done dude [20:31] WyHiWyL, i guess my concentration is getting low, better turn in, thanks for the remark [20:31] hwilde: thanks, I know, but I was just wondering what an asterisk means :) [20:31] i will re-download [20:31] :D [20:31] bye bye all [20:31] good luck and have an nice night [20:32] join #mythbuntu [20:32] LordDicranius, it means "all". those lines with the stars really differentiate subnet traffic and interfaces [20:32] how do I give a user sudo privledges from the command line? [20:33] hwilde: thanks. Weird they didn't integrate the support in the main kernel yet, isn't it? Surely is making a lot of users confused... [20:33] memenotyou, the user has to be added to the admin group [20:33] Is there a way in Evolution mail client to password protect the message pane of imap account? Like presented in here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/tips#beh_imappassword [20:33] bbs [20:33] hwilde: how do I do that from the command line? [20:33] marco, i dunno, you can ask in ubuntu+1 if it's on target for hte next release [20:34] memenotyou, add the username to the admin: line in the file /etc/group [20:36] Hello peeps [20:38] noone here I guess? [20:38] i installed ibex from windows and now hibernate in Ubuntu doesn't work (as expected). Is there any way to get it to work? [20:38] noone is answering === B|nTaRa-- is now known as B|nTaRa [20:38] !ask | Jaison [20:38] Jaison: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:39] Jack_Sparrow: I thought this would reboot to a gui but it appears to be a terminal "To run a command as administrator (user "root") use "sudo ." See man sudo_root" for details." ~$ What happened? [20:39] Jaison: see, we all met in the channel where we really answer questions, and said "nobody answer his questions" [20:39] imp_mstr: maybe your swap partition is too small, it must be at least equal the RAM [20:40] I just hello I was trying to be polite [20:40] hola como andan saludos desde argentina!!!!! [20:40] hello Jaison, how can we be of help? [20:40] ericjung: maybe your swap partition is too small, it must be at least equal the RAM [20:40] Hi - Getting error " can't mount volume " - Have another NTFS windows hard drive installed in this computer - any idea's ? ? [20:40] WyHiWyL: you can have no swap file if you like, its not required [20:40] hi people!!!!!! [20:40] gandyman, does it give a reason? [20:40] but my question is how can I save my nvidia config settings it want let me [20:41] marabout, May I pm you [20:41] alguien habla español? [20:41] Bodsda; hang on - will go try again. [20:41] IndyGunFreak: it's required for suspend or hibernate [20:41] !es [20:41] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [20:41] WyHiWyL: ah, i didn't see this was about suspend. [20:41] evowill_: thank you [20:41] Jaison: do you have the restricted driver enabled? [20:41] gracias [20:41] Jack_Sparrow: yes by all means [20:41] how do I tell that [20:42] Jaison: system/admin/hardware drivers [20:42] why doesnt the gentoo coreutils patch apply to ubuntu coreutils? [20:42] WyHiWyL: how can i find my swap partition size? [20:42] $ sudo fdisk -l [20:42] even if i use the patch for whatever version the sourcepackage of coreutils claims to be [20:42] WyHiWyL: I don't think there is a swap partition then [20:42] ericjung, cat /proc/swaps [20:43] its says proprietary drivers are being used and I have version 173 [20:43] mgolisch: maybe ubuntu version is also a patched upstream version? [20:43] eric@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/swaps [20:43] Filename Type Size Used Priority [20:43] $ sudo fdisk -l | grep swap [20:43] ericjung, ok then you have no swap. [20:43] ericjung, you should also not find it in /etc/fstab [20:43] Jaison: ok, so open a terminal and type "gksudo nvidia-settings"... make the chanes, apply, then "save to configuration file" [20:43] user_: even if i try to apply to that tar_orig thing which if i understand correctly is the unpatched upstream source, or should atleast be [20:43] hwilde: /prc/swaps shows a swap but fdisk -l does not [20:44] ericjung: so if you have no swap, then you cannot suspend or hibernate [20:44] ericjung, is the swap partition set to be mounted in /etc/fstab [20:44] very weird, i want cp -g so bad [20:44] :) [20:44] Bodsda; hey - Funny thing - It's working now - Thanks anyway. - Must have had to let permissions come through or something. [20:44] ok so run this app in as root and it will change it [20:44] gandyman, oh, cool :) [20:44] hwilde: yes, it is in fstab [20:45] Jaison: it should, as long asyou "save to configuration file" [20:45] how can I download the source code from a specific package? Can I use APT tools to do that? [20:45] ericjung: you can just do sudo swapon -s to show your swap [20:45] do I need the gk cuz ive been using just sudo [20:45] Jaison: yes, sudo is for CLI, if you're running GUI apps, you need gksudo [20:45] !gksudo | Jaison [20:45] Jaison: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:45] ASULutzy: it says /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk file 976552 4952 -1 [20:45] ericjung: If it doesn't return anything, you can also use swapon to assign a partition for use as swap, for example if /dev/sda6 is a swap partition then sudo swapon /dev/sda6 would tell the OS to use /dev/sda6 for swap [20:46] i have a swap file [20:46] that isn't the problem [20:46] it is 976552 in size, whatever that means [20:46] but i have 4GB of ram [20:46] ericjung: Why are you using a swap file and not a swap partition? [20:47] ok thanks all alot guys I appreciate the knowledge cuz today is only my second day with linux [20:47] ASULutzy: I took ubuntu installation defaults [20:47] ASULutzy: it installed inside Windows Vista [20:47] ASULutzy: and now I cann't hibernate Ubuntu [20:47] ericjung: Oh. You're using Wubi [20:47] lol [20:47] ASULutzy: yes [20:47] * IndyGunFreak growls.. dang wubi users.. never tell anyone that [20:47] ericjung: Do a real install IMO ;) [20:47] Hey Iphone and Ubuntu help is found where? [20:48] ASULutzy: wubi is not ubuntu? [20:48] what the hell is wubi? [20:48] wubi is windows based ubuntu install [20:48] wubi is a star wars character [20:48] Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) is an official Windows-based free software installer for Ubuntu, licensed under the GPL. [20:49] What are its advantages? [20:49] nothing [20:49] there are disadvantages [20:49] like you have a windows poartition [20:49] partition* [20:49] and you can use your entire HDD [20:49] because of the ntfs filesystem [20:50] Hello [20:50] Okay..thanks [20:50] gurps1 np [20:50] There are no real advantages to using Wubi, other than some people don't want to try to setup a dualboot. There are myriad disadvantages. I would suggest doing a proper dual boot [20:50] I need iphone ubuntu help! [20:50] can wubi install by migrated to a real install, or must i start over? [20:50] FOr whoever asked what wubi was, its a installer for ubuntu, it just is installed from windows if you don't have a disk, and it doesnt make a new partition which blows [20:50] Im going to install Ubuntu onto my desktop PC,currently running windows xp, how to i go about dual booting? [20:50] i think you have to start over... [20:50] IndyGunFreak: no!!! [20:50] Gurps [20:50] ericjung: To answer your original question, I'm not sure you can actually hibernate with Wubi [20:50] yes [20:50] I recommend not dual booting [20:51] gurps1, just stick in the live c and it should prompt you through it [20:51] But if you want to [20:51] ericjung: And that might not be true [20:51] !dualboot | gurps1 [20:51] gurps1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:51] !enter | bLuE_AciD [20:51] bLuE_AciD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:51] ericjung: You may be able to migrate a wubi install [20:51] how can one make ubuntu able to recognize the UDF filesystem type? [20:51] ASULutzy: i've never heard of migratiung one.. that would be entertaining [20:51] !Sorry | hwilde [20:51] hwilde: It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand... === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris [20:51] ericjung, IndyGunFreak: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [20:52] hwilde: The live cd will prompt me through what exactly? [20:52] I'm having an odd problem. "System Monitor" says that I'm only using 777MB RAM of the 7.8GB I have total, but "free -m" says I'm using 4614. Why the discrepancy? I am runnign hardy x86_64. [20:52] Gurps, just use wubi if you going to dual boot, really no point in a disk. [20:52] ASULutzy: hmm, maybe not as bad as i thought... never heard of LVPM.. [20:52] unr3a1: in which context? [20:52] bLuE_AciD: You're wrong. Don't spread misinformation. [20:52] gurps1, it will show your partitions and how much free space on your drive, then show how much ubuntu will take up next to win, then it will setup the dual boot and everyhitng. [20:53] I need to burn an ISO to a CD [20:53] Since the convo is on duel booting, I have upgrade my kernel to 2.6.27-9-generic but still have 2.3.27.7 in grub how do I clean that up [20:53] Blue-Omega, Wrong.. very wrong [20:53] Jaison, /boot/grub/menu.list [20:53] Jack_Sparrow, last-spoke not alphabetical tab complete :) [20:53] Blue_acid, Wrong.. very wrong [20:53] Jaison: Grub automatically generates the menu.lst based on what it sees. Everytime you upgrade it will readd those entries, even if you manually remove them from menu.lst [20:53] :) [20:53] Jaison: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put a # sign in front of the entries you don't want in your grub menu (i woudln't recommend deleting them) [20:53] Jaison: I would recommend just not bothering, but if you really want to clean them up you'll have to actually go about uninstalling the old kernels [20:54] how can i transfer apps to my iphone in ubuntu without itunes?! [20:54] ASULutzy: you can comment them out no problem at all.. and they won't show up [20:54] So Is that safe [20:54] unr3a1: i think you you can right click on the iso file in the file manager and start up a burn program.. it will detect the burner and the medium [20:54] Laderius: you coul copy the install files over [20:54] Jaison, just ignoring them is safe. [20:54] hwilde: Thank you very much indeed!! [20:54] Jaison: what?.. commenting them out?..of course, its safe ignoring them to.. i just wouldn't recommend deleting them. [20:54] IndyGunFreak: But when you install a new kernel, Grub will go ahead and readd them unless you remove them, right? [20:54] I'm having an odd problem. "System Monitor" says that I'm only using 777MB RAM of the 7.8GB I have total, but "free -m" says I'm using 4614. Why the discrepancy? I am runnign hardy x86_64. [20:54] IM OCD its hard [20:54] hwilde, Looking for that option in xchat as we speak [20:55] ASULutzy: once i comment my old ones out, they never show up again [20:55] I will comment them out [20:55] hwilde,got it [20:55] IndyGunFreak: You may be right, I just never bother to remove them :) [20:55] ASULutzy: lol [20:55] i'm attempting to mount a RAID-5 array into Ubuntu(from a live CD). The original RAID host was a stand-alone file server unit. however, Ubuntu isn't recognizing the disks in /dev/. thoughts? [20:55] is there a way to have a live USB pendrive, so that I can boot a computer off of it and install ubuntu onto the local harddrive? [20:55] Jack_Sparrow, should be default u know [20:55] ActionParsnip the IPA files? [20:55] hajmola yes [20:55] rainabba: Are you new to linux? [20:55] hwilde, Should have been, this is a fresh ibex, and it wasnt [20:55] Jaison: just put a # sign in front of the "Title" you don't want to appear, then save and exit. [20:56] hajmola: Yes, Intrepid actually has a built in tool to make a live-usb [20:56] on 8.10 in the menu slect make bottable usb drive easy [20:56] Laderius: i guess, i dont use iphone but id imagine it can be done [20:56] ASULutzy, really? where at? [20:56] hajmola the system menu if i rember [20:56] hajmola: System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk [20:56] Jack_Sparrow, alphabet is default [20:57] ASULutzy, gogereaver, thanks! [20:57] hwilde, ty [20:57] usr13: Not exactly, but my focus has been higher-level. [20:57] rainabba: See: http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/MemoryManagement [20:57] Laderius: check the apple site to see if its possible that way. i hate apple so can say from personal experience [20:57] rainabba: Probably the difference between your buffers and caches, I think free counts the amount used by buffers and caches and perhaps system monitor doesn't? [20:57] * gogereaver slaps ActionParsnip around a bit with a large trout [20:57] i don't use the iphone either =P... i have an Android G1 developer phone and am loving it! === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx [20:58] ASULutzy: Makes sense. [20:58] what he trying to do to his ipohne [20:58] !dualboot [20:58] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:58] so I need to put # in front of every line right? [20:58] 3 cd's now [20:58] that i have burnt [20:58] gogereaver: its poor bang for buck and people lap up ipods without considering other players, creating isheep [20:58] all 3 have a corrupt file [20:58] Jaison: Not every line :) the lines of the old kernel entries [20:58] that i don't want there corrcet [20:58] i downloaded via bittorrent and md5 check is right [20:58] cameron_: did you md5 check the iso? [20:59] i ahve a ipod tuch and a samsong yp-f1 [20:59] cameron_: try lower burn speed [20:59] cameron... ubuntu cd's? [20:59] Yeah thats what i meant sorry [20:59] Jaison: in front of the title, yes [20:59] and a psp [20:59] kubuntu [20:59] cameron_ what speed are you burning at? [20:59] how to start one program (for example glxgears) many times in unique command ? [20:59] i tried 48x the first 2 times [20:59] the 3rd time i did 16x [20:59] what program are you using to burn? [20:59] ActionParsnip, dosent work that way, im installing virtualbox and will emulate itunes :/ [20:59] hello, could someone help me with a music picard problem? it deletes any files I tag using it [20:59] user_: I have tried that. all it does is extract the files that it recognizes [20:59] Jaison: it should look like this... #Title Ubuntu bla bla bla.. .. then that title will not appear in your grub list [20:59] ripped as an iso and checked the md5 on the new iso and doesnt match up [20:59] k3b [20:59] ASULutzy: That wouldn't explain the following though would it? With 8GB of RAM, running x86_64 bit kernel, I show nearly 4GB used with nothing running except Opera with a few tabs, and VMWare workstation with the guest shut down. [20:59] Laderius: looks like the only solution [21:00] jailbroken ipod tuch = tablet psp [21:00] Just the titles or all four entries like uuid kernel initrid [21:00] pc [21:00] i currently use slamd64 i like it but i want to *try* kubuntu so i dont have to compile kde 4 to try it [21:00] user_: I found this: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/81922-how-read-udf-filesystem-linux.html but that path no longer exists for the .config file [21:00] cameron_: does the cd pass integrity check once booted to? [21:00] Jaison: just the title [21:00] no, sorry it doesn't delete it, it makes it unplayable [21:00] cool [21:00] ActionParsnip, no, comes back "1 file . .. . .blah" [21:00] sun xvm virtual box is great [21:00] how do I format a hard drive via a terminal [21:00] rainabba: what does free -m actually say? [21:00] ive already wasted 3 disks i just dont want to waste another [21:00] wash-hasted: Lies! It's all lies! [21:00] haha [21:00] is there any way to use lilo to boot off an iso ? [21:00] brb [21:01] cameron_: Not lilo, but there is unetbootin [21:01] cameron_: could try burning it at 4x or use a different burner [21:01] only burner i got [21:01] cameron_: are you burning from Linux, you could try a different app [21:01] makes me wonder [21:01] ASULutzy: total/used/free of 7999/4614/3384 when the VM isn't running. [21:01] can anyone help me with a musicbrainz picard problem? it keeps rendering any file I play unusable [21:01] Why does no one ever recommend unetbootin? [21:01] cus i burnt GB's and GB's of movies to dvds itd be gay [21:01] I have all codecs installed [21:01] cameron... are you burning the iso to the disk or are you opening the iso with k3b then burning the contents of thr iso? [21:01] hi, graphics question, is eps vector-based? [21:01] ASULutzy: unetbootin is a tool to make liveusb, or am i wrong? [21:01] Jaison: note lines 137 and 143 http://paste.ubuntu.com/100570/ [21:01] rainabba: the whole line, what are the buffers and caches [21:02] ASULutzy: 7999/7951/47 when it is. [21:02] back [21:02] Ahh [21:02] I have a stupid question: Whenever I ssh to my fileserver it asks me for the password to the default keyring, but I never got a chance to set that password and don't know how to set/change the default keyring password. Where is that, and what app controls it (preferably with the command line)? [21:02] unr3a1: from which medium are you trying to read and where do you want to burn to? [21:02] ASULutzy: Right now it's running and shows 7999/7952/47/0/123/6961. Lemme shut the guest back down to check it then. [21:02] WyHiWyL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin You can use it to install from an .iso to hard disk without burning a CD [21:02] rainabba: Don't shutdown [21:03] rainabba: Oh, the guest OS, yea go ahead if you want [21:03] Ryan_Delaney: apropos keyring [21:03] yah [21:03] i've always used it to create thumb drives to install from, works great for that [21:03] Ryan_Delaney: http://mexpolk.blogspot.com/2008/02/ubuntu-change-default-keyring-password.html [21:03] how do I format a hard drive via a terminal [21:03] any reason why my windows are loading locked to the upper left corner [21:03] linxeh: thanks [21:03] :) [21:03] how can i get my genius g-pen 450 to work on ubuntu? [21:03] user_: the ISO is on my harddrive [21:03] man I love this channel, Its so much easier than reading for two days to do one simple thing [21:03] user_: and I am trying to burn it to a DVD [21:03] theking: What do you mean by format, are you looking to erase all the files on the drive (and if so how securely)? Or are you trying to repartition a drive? [21:03] ASULutzy: oh, so i didn't know its full power :) [21:03] ASULutzy: Now it shows 7999/4611/3384/0/118/3712 [21:04] ASULutzy, erase all files on the drive securely [21:04] Jaison: well, sometimes you still have to read for two-three days, but this channel is generally a wealth of info [21:04] theking: man mk2fs [21:04] pop79, have you done a search on the ubuntu forms about you pen? [21:04] yeop :) [21:04] theking: How securely, like NSA securely or? [21:04] no [21:04] unr3a1: ok, and the problem is with the iso, the conversion, or the burning process? [21:04] how do I get the list of roms [21:04] *rooms [21:04] ASULutzy, just a simple wipe [21:04] pop79, and it turned up nothing? [21:04] type /rooms [21:04] guys .. how can i use ntfsprogs to make a ntfs partition on a usb drive ? [21:04] there are 2.4GB worth of files in the ISO [21:04] well, no [21:05] ASULutzy: I've now closed everything except the termal I'm using (and X of course) and still show 4430 used and 3713 cached. [21:05] but ubuntu is only seeing maybe 200KB of them.... [21:05] wrong lol [21:05] I tried to install the 64bit flashplayer last night and I read for 4 hours and it took like 5 minutes to do it and what i read did not tell me anything about what i did [21:05] theking: If all you want to do is erase everything and it's a simple wipe just remove all the partitions and call it a day ;) you can do that with fdisk [21:05] its /list [21:05] rainabba: Right [21:05] one of which is a txt file saying that it needs to be viewed in a OS that supports the UDF filesystem [21:05] rainabba: 4430 - 3713 = ? [21:05] rainabba: the amount that is cached is considered used [21:05] rainabba: I'm guessing anyway :) [21:05] Jaison: are you using 8.10 [21:05] ASULutzy, it is [21:06] yep ultimate edition 2.0 [21:06] Linux will gobble up free memory for disk cache [21:06] Jaison: ah, ultimate edition... [21:06] ASULutzy: Makes sense again. Trouble is, VMWare sees that memory as unavailable and it shouldn't be (based on the fact that nothing else is using it). [21:06] rainabba: You are aware that unused RAM is wasted RAM... You WANT things to be cached or else the RAM is worthless [21:06] 'night world. Seeya soon. [21:06] yep utlitmate edition x6f [21:06] Any way to free that cache up? [21:06] 64 [21:06] pop79, what kind of pen is it again? [21:07] unr3a1: ok, so in this "whats in the iso?"-context you came up with the udf-question? so its not related to a burning problem itself? [21:07] ASULutzy: Ok, but I want VMware to have first dibs on it. [21:07] it is a genius g-pen 450 graphics tablet [21:07] THEN the guest can have the rest and swap out what it needs from there. [21:07] I tried their forum, then ubuntu's forum, then firefox forum then adobe forum then here [21:07] ASULutzy, can I make a partition on my USB harddrive and make it live? [21:07] user_: no... the disc burns. but it only burns the files that Ubuntu is able to recognize in the ISO [21:07] rainabba: YOu can change swappiness value [21:07] rainabba: Hmmm, well, there is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589975 but that seems iffy :) [21:07] usr13: For VMWare you mean? [21:07] Hello [21:07] alas it was here I achieved my goal [21:08] rainabba: O [21:08] Does anyone know about a good gui for managing iptables, please ? [21:08] SiDi: Is firestarter the front end? I forget [21:08] SiDi: Firestarter [21:08] !firestarter [21:08] 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). [21:08] usr13: I've set it to not swap at all because I have enough ram. I want the guest to take it's 4GB, then leave the other ~4GB for the host apps. [21:08] SiDi: firestarter [21:08] Hm thanks [21:08] unr3a1: ok, you might check the channel of the burn program you are using, which program would that be? [21:09] man, some of these bot responses are huge when Im on my aspire one...lol [21:09] user_: but its not a problem with the burner [21:09] of coruse, i'm trying to do 10 things on an 8.9in screen [21:09] rainabba: I've not used vmware enough to know much about how it works, and I do not run 64 bit kernel either. [21:09] rainabba: That's weird that VMWare won't let you set the amount of RAM given to the guest to 4 GB. Any reason you're set on VMWare instead of VirtualBox? [21:09] Sorry but firestarter is not what i'm looking for :p [21:09] user_: Ubuntu cannot recognize the files in the ISO, because it can't read UDF filesystems [21:10] user_: So I am asking how to get Ubuntu to read a UDF file system [21:10] SiDi: Do you just need a good firewall script? [21:10] SiDi: You asked for a graphical front end to iptables. Which is exactly what it is. [21:10] SiDi: firestarter is a good gui to form iptables rules [21:10] unr3a1: ok, which ubuntu version are you using?

VirtualBox refuses to play nice. No matter how I prep my guest image or how I restore it, I can't get it to run properly under vbox. Either it won't boot, or it does and run slow as shit.

[21:12] rainabba: I'm not sure, sounds like a VMWare bug, you could forcefully clear the cache, but I'm not sure how recommended that is [21:12] when i record on my microphone the playback is just a buzz [21:12] why? [21:12] SiDi: firestarter should work for him. [21:12] is it possible to make 2 routers work as 1 network? [21:12] ASULutzy: Trying gdm restart for now. [21:13] I'll pull a Microsoft and reboot if nothing else. [21:13] rainabba what are you trying to do?

I'm running x86_64 kernel with 8GB of RAM, but linux says I'm using 4.4GB and vmware seems to agree so it's telling me to reduce the amount of ram for my guest.

I am trying to upgrade a Feisty server using do-release-upgrade (tried using update-manager as well) and both are complaining about feisty repositories not being available. in particular, I get: binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found for a wide variety of repository servers (us.archive.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com, mirrors.kernel.org, easynews mirrors, etc) [21:33] wamcvey: Feisty has reached end of life [21:33] !eol [21:33] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:34] I know.. .that's why I'm upgrading. [21:34] I don't want to upgrade *to* feisty... I want to upgrade from it... so why are the feisty repositories a pre-requisite to upgrading to gutsy? [21:35] бля, русский канал забыл =( [21:35] !ru | corwin [21:35] corwin: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:35] wamcvey: update-manager -d doesn't work? [21:35] wamcvey they moved the repositories [21:36] is there a default generic usb driver in Ubuntu? [21:36] something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller [21:36] wamcvey use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [21:36] change your sources list to reflect that, then you will be able to upgrade [21:37] FireStorm: Have you considered that the download was corrupted? Did you actually bother to md5sum the files? [21:37] evowill_: thanks, I'll give it a try... still puzzling to the extreme why I need old repositories to be valid to upgrade to new release. [21:37] okay i have my kubuntu iso on /home (which is on its own partition) trying to use unetbootin to boot off that iso how do i use it, i already have a partition /dev/sda5 for kubuntu [21:37] ASULutzy yes [21:37] wamcvey, because it wants to make sure you have the latest packages before you upgrade [21:37] hard disk: only drive it gives me is / [21:37] is that normal? [21:37] wamcvey, to prevent breakage in the upgrade process, so everyone is on the same page :-) [21:38] evowill_: So my deb line should look like: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted [21:38] right?

[21:38] cameron_: you need to make an empty folder to mount the iso to [21:38] !unetbootin [21:38] how bout /mnt/iso [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin [21:39] ethan: run lspci or lsusb which will identify the device, you can webserach from there [21:39] Bah, you've failed me again ubottu. === cognitiaclaeves1 is now known as cognitiaclaeves [21:39] its an internal [21:39] cameron_: sounds ideal, you'll need sudo mkdir /mnt/iso first [21:39] I'm wondering about the Three 3G Broadband Modem (E160G).

[21:40] Sup fellas... got a quick question... I have an IP of a Windows XP computer that wasn't "playing by the rules" at work. I need to find the host name of it. I tried ping -a but it didn't pull the host name as it normally does. I have an Ubuntu Intrepid Desktop set up at work. Is there any way in Ubuntu I can pull the Windows host name of this computer?

I know. *I* didn't make the decision that the old repository URL should be the same repository URL for the new release... that's an assumption of do-release-upgrade apparently. [21:43] excuse me for repeating, but hasn't anyone used a Three 3G E160 broadband modem? === Mud|game is now known as Mud [21:44] NintendoGuy02836... not sure how to get 3G modems working in 8.04 but I do know ubuntu mad a lot of wireless broadband improvements from 8.04 to 8.10. You might think about switching to 8.10 [21:44] actionactionparsnip: yes [21:44] <_Zeus_> i would do that [21:44] actionparsnip: yes [21:45] something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller... files are md5 checked [21:45] the question remains... how do I upgrade from an EOL'ed release.... If I set my repository to old-releases.ubuntu.com (so it can make sure it is the latest most update to date old release), then it fails when it tries to install gutsy. If I set my repository to us.archive.ubuntu.com, it fails cause it can't validate that my old release is up-to-date. [21:45] !upgrade [21:45] lighttian; I ordered 8.10 in the post a few days ago. at least i think it was 8.10. is there any way to download just a patch from 8.04 to 8.1 instead of having to download the whole system again?

Let me find you a link [21:47] ethan: all, on the same line [21:47] ASULutzy... I guess we're not quite on the same page... I'm doing everything in that document... and it's failing [21:47] ethan: its a terminal command [21:48] ActionParsnip is the difference in wifi support mainly kernel related? Only I notice Debian Lenny has much better wifi support too, though I think they're planning to remove some of it cos it's not Free enough. [21:48] actionparsnip: commands do i use to update without my system freezing again yes ik terminal but my whole system crashes evrytiem i update [21:49] gardier: ive not used true debian so couldnt comment [21:49] has anyone found a fix for having a wirelss NIC that the RF kill switch is software based? some way to turn it on so that the wireless card can work for intel onboard [21:49] Flannel: thanks... I'd appreciate the link... I'm getting tempted to just hack my sources.list and dist-upgrade the box, but I know that's no longer a supported upgrade procedure... [21:49] Probably a stupid question... why does my 'w' command show 4 users when I only see 3 listed? [21:49] ActionParsnip I keep havering between the two :) [21:49] ethan: what point does it hang? [21:49] wamcvey: You're upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, right? [21:49] gardier: i use gentoo, mandriva and kubuntu [21:49] Flannel: yes [21:50] can I create multiple x screens on one display. ex) splitting a monitor into 4 parts each with there own xserver [21:50] actionparsnip; what do you mean === Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido [21:50] any luck finding a readme on unetbootin ?

I have an Ubuntu Intrepid Desktop set up at work. Is there any way in Ubuntu I can pull the Windows host name of this computer? === eli is now known as dotblank [21:50] ethan: is it during the downloading or the installing part [21:50] wamcvey: Well, it's certainly not unsupported. You just have to make sure you have the proper metapackages (ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, a kernel metapackage, and whatever your desktop metapackage is) It's just not as clean (update-manager takes care of some removals after the fact, etc) === `Chris is now known as Chris` [21:51] ActionParsnip I kinda like Mandriva 2009 was a real improvement. Gentoo is one of those Lego systems isn't? Where you put it together yourself?

[21:52] gardier: nar mandriva is a fully fledged distro, gentoo is more lego like but its fun [21:52] wamcvey: did you update completely once you switched to old-releases? I'm seeing indications that the newer update-managers know how to switch off of old-releases [21:52] ethan: try: sudo shutdown -rF now [21:52] cameron_: and there's this on unetbootin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427540 tbh I haven't used unetbootin in a while, but I know it can install an iso to a partition [21:52] ethan: it will reboot your box and check the disk health [21:52] Flannel: ok... well, then I'll just dist-upgrade myself to gutsy... cross my fingers, and if it goes ok, will use update-manager to go to gutsy (hopefully that will cleanup what's not needed) [21:53] Flannel: Yes, I updated completly with old-releases. [21:53] wamcvey: That should yeah. Just be sure you're entirely up to date on feisty, with at least those four metapackages [21:53] hey, hello to all [21:53] ActionParsnip what does the rF switch do? (apologies for this cli newbie) [21:53] Flannel... ok, thanks... wish me luck. I may be on later in a more frazzled state if it doesn't go well. [21:53] can I create multiple x screens on one display. ex) splitting a monitor into 4 parts each with there own xsession? [21:54] ok [21:54] Hey guys, little help here. [21:54] gardier: -r == reboot [21:54] hi all, trying to setup wireless for dell mini-9's in my classroom. I have the code for the shared WEP connection. However, the tech guy didn't tell me if it is passphrase or ascii. Anyway, I have tried it both ways and it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Is there something I am doing wrong. BTW, the mini's come with 8.04 and Netmanager. Any help is appreciated by me and the kids that want to be able to surf the net and print f [21:54] actionparsnip: when it checks the disk will it fix it if theres soemthign wrong? [21:54] ActionParsnip cheers [21:54] gardier: -F == freakout (causes fsck) [21:54] hello kenkku [21:54] ActionParsnip thanks [21:54] does anyone know any other (packaged & in intrepid repos) mail notification programs other than mail-notification that would support reading mbox over ssh/sftp? [21:54] ethan: if its downloading the apps ok and installing locks then your drive may be bad [21:55] gardier: man shutdown ;) [21:55] something that would actually work, mail-notification crashes with sftp [21:55] Can I setup software raid after installation without erasing the disk? [21:55] actionparsnip: how do i fix it? and the command didnt work that you gave me [21:55] I just installed Hardy on my computer. When i get to the splash screen, the monitor turns off and recieves no signal. But ubuntu is clearly running as I hear the sounds to log in. If i press ctrl alt f1 i can get the command line to log in. I dont know whats going on. I installed it on my parents computer which runs an Nvidia card and it works fine. I dont know if its my ATI card or my monitor. Little help? [21:56] ethan: fsck will attempt to fix them too [21:56] ethan: Can't you just sudo touch /forcefsck [21:56] lzantal - no [21:56] ethan: and then just reboot normally [21:56] izaltal - well, what raid array? [21:56] Thank you. Thats what I thought. [21:56] raid1 [21:56] Bear7809: Probably the ati card, fglrx is always fun. I would edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and force it to use vesa driver till you can figure out what's going on [21:56] lubi uses gnome "zenity" [21:56] i have kde [21:57] izantal - yeah, the creation of the raid will wipe all data sadly [21:57] asulutzy and actionparsnip; that command didnt work i tyepd it in bu tnothing happened [21:57] ASULutzy: how do you do that? [21:57] omnydevi, lzantal: You can create a raid 1 without erasing [21:57] lzantal: I've done it before, remotely, through ssh :) [21:57] REALLY??! That would save me hours [21:57] Hi. Is this the right channel for questions about vpnc (under ubuntu, of course)? Is another channel more appropriate? [21:58] could you give me some pointers? [21:58] asul - wow, thanks for correcting me, i would look into that...if i needed a raid1, heh [21:58] My LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" doesn't work with g++. It gives me font problems , some messages in square boxes. How do i fix it ? [21:58] lzantal: It's not exactly easy to do, but it is definitely possible. What you will have to do is first of course make the partitions match, and then copy over all of the original drive to the new, and then basically trick mdadm into fixing a "broken" array... I found a decent howto on it, and actually, I may have MADE a howto on the forums somewhere... Let me google [21:58] ASULutzy: how do i edit xorg to use the Vesa drivers over anything else? [21:58] ethan: you could check it from recovery console, the partitions need to be unmounted [21:59] ethan: or livecd [21:59] ASULutzy: thanks a ton. [21:59] Bear7809: You'll have to add a line that says driver "vesa" under screen I think... But not 100%, you should probably ask that to the channel or just do a quick google search [21:59] Bear - you vi the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the driver being used and replace it with VESA [21:59] actionparsnip: im running both ubuntu and windows xp would the best bet be to uninstall ubuntu and then reinstall windows and do everything from sratch? [21:59] you will get a low screen resolution most likely, but it will come up [22:00] omnydevi: what would i put in the command line? im not exactly the best with it. [22:00] I need to setup a Single Sign On configuration for about 50 ubuntu boxes. I've read the SingleSignOn page on the Ubuntu docs, but I'm a little confused regarding the roles that Kerberos and LDAP play. Should I be using one or the other or both in combination? [22:00] lzantal - sorry for lying to you, i never thought to do it that way before [22:00] hi [22:00] Will changing LC_ALL="C" from LC_ALL="en_US.utf-8" cause any problems ? [22:00] Bear - you have any kind of GUI? [22:00] actionparsnip: wipe my whole os and redo it from sratch === knoppix is now known as Matisse [22:00] ethan: no need, just need to check the partition is ok, no need to format [22:00] Has anyone got a Three 3G modem working on 8.04? I can't figure out how to set it up. [22:00] omnydevi: no, none, monitor gets no signal. Goes to standby. I can access console and log in by pressing ctrl alt f1. monitor comes back on. [22:01] hi all, trying to setup wireless for dell mini-9's in my classroom. I have the code for the shared WEP connection. However, the tech guy didn't tell me if it is passphrase or ascii. Anyway, I have tried it both ways and it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Is there something I am doing wrong. BTW, the mini's come with 8.04 and Netmanager. Any help is appreciated by me and the kids that want to be able to surf the net and print f [22:01] omnydevi: I did not know it. I just thought I should ask. [22:01] I don't understand open vs. shared keys? And if he means 128 bit WEP passphrase or ascii (assuming it isn't hex because the # symbol is used) [22:01] Bear - best way is to "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.cong [22:01] actionparsnip: i need help i need to fix ubuntu this is liek the fourth time iv instaleld it on here because i keep getting problems [22:01] lzantal: this: http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch It's a little verbose... I made one that I thought was better somewhere on the ubuntu forums which I can try and dig up [22:01] lzantal: But that should work [22:01] lzantal - i just hate giving false information :( [22:01] thanks again ASIL [22:01] ASUL, oops [22:01] I have changed the UUID in /boot/grub/menu.lst and in /etc/fstab and now my system boots with an ash shell as result [22:01] Bear - what kinda graphics card you have? [22:02] omnydevi: ATI All-in Wonder 9600 series. [22:02] ASULutzy: thank you soo much. what is your user name on the forum? I could do the search. [22:02] omnydevi: Well, you didn't really give bad info... There isn't really a simple or normal way to create a RAID1 without destroying the partitions of both disks... This way works, but what you're basically doing is tricking mdadm into rebuilding a broken array [22:02] ASULutzy on the forums as well, [22:02] ASUL yeah, that owns man :D [22:02] I've changed the UUID using bklid or sth. like supposed when booting ends with fsck error 80 [22:02] omnydevi: editing it to just use VESA is fairly easy after that? [22:02] Bear - find your graphics driver and replcae it with VESA [22:02] I think I made a howto anyway :) I get confused sometimes, if you can't find it, that howtoforge article will definitely work [22:03] ethan: then reinstall, partition xp to not use the whole disk and leave unpartitioned space, ubuntu will then be able to use it and the dual boot will be handled for you [22:03] Bear - if you never used VI before...it isn't as easy as it sounds [22:03] omnydevi: im afraid I have not. [22:03] ASULutzy: thank you soo much. You saved me hours of backup.(which i will do anyway) I am just happy to learn something new again [22:03] Bear - use only the arrow keys to navigate, just use arrow down till you see your graphics card [22:03] WHAT can I do now ? I dont even see the root partion, only a certain one, which I used for data storage [22:04] Bear - vi can make a mess out of things fast if ya dont know what you are doing. (yes...i am speaking from experience) [22:04] Help [22:04] omnydevi: so get to the graphics part, then replace whatever driver is there with just the word VESA? [22:04] lzantal: No problem, it's a fun task [22:04] lzantal: heh, it's even more fun when you do the entire thing remotely via ssh... that first reboot command... You have to be very brave to issue :P [22:04] Bear - yes. Hit A to type. Use DEL to delete the card driver name starting with the first letter [22:05] Bear - then left arrow, press "a" and type VESA, it should be in double quotes. Hit ESC and press ":w" without quotes. that saves it. then hit ":q" without quotes, that exits [22:05] <__MAV> Hello All! [22:05] why when i zoom in in nautilus my custom svg icons dont amplify? [22:05] Bear - lastly, startx [22:06] omnydevi: VESA should be "VESA" like that? [22:06] Does anybody know about any ubuntu ver. using kernel with "CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y" [22:06] Bear - Yessir! [22:06] ? [22:06] Is there a way to get packages installed on a machine that can't see the outside world? I have my desktop that can access the machine and the outside world and would like to install some packages on the machine that can't see outside using apt-get [22:06] ESC, :w, :q, startx [22:06] omnydevi: do i just type w or :w? [22:06] :w [22:07] oo [22:07] Has anyone got a Three 3G modem working on 8.04? I can't figure out how to set it up at all.. I really need help with this, doesn't anyone know??? [22:07] breta, why would you want to enable that on anything but a bladeserver [22:07] <__MAV> I would like to say that you guys the developers of Ubuntu are making the great job because ubuntu is the very best of Linux distributions I've seen so far! [22:07] Anyone [22:07] RediXe: you need to download the ubuntu .deb package files [22:07] after you : you just need w [22:07] How can I mount the missing partitions ? [22:07] omnydevi: startx is just a command i can imput without anything extra? [22:07] RediXe: make sure you check the dependencies and satisfy those also [22:07] i need to install ubuntu on a esx server here so i can go through this stuff [22:07] Bear - startx is what you use when you are back in terminal [22:08] lzantal: I found it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=778907 but reading it, maybe the howtoforge is just better :) I should update the post... Oh well [22:08] that should restart the xserver [22:08] RediXe: what are you trying to install? [22:08] omnydevi: finally just reboot? [22:08] HacKBoX_: sun-java-jre [22:08] Bear - no need to reboot, just startx when back in terminal [22:08] alright [22:08] <__MAV> What program can I use to backup my Ubuntu installation (including partintioning) and burn it to DVD so later I can boot from that DVD and restore the system ? [22:08] here i go wish me luck, i'll be back if it messed up haha. [22:08] Bear - this is ubuntu, no need to restart the whole cpu after every change. i love that [22:09] Can I spit a widescrren monitor into sepperate xscreens? [22:09] vantrax: you mightwant that on a superdome, or on any virtualised installation...

I could have sword it wanted a sun-java6-dev or something but didn't see that in the repo [22:10] <__MAV> dotblank: executing "Xepyr :2" will give you 2-nd X screen [22:10] RediXe: sun-java6-jre [22:10] RediXe: What does your other computer run? [22:10] lzantal: If you do go off my guide, don't raid your swap, I actually didn't do that, and most people will recommend that you don't, but overall the post is helpful [22:10] RediXe: or sun-java6-jdk [22:10] HacKBoX_: this machine is on xubuntu 8.04 and server is ubuntu server 8.04 [22:10] I have changed the UUID in /boot/grub/menu.lst and in /etc/fstab and now my system boots with an ash shell as result I've changed the UUID using bklid or sth. like supposed when booting ends with fsck error 80. WHAT can I do now ? I dont even see the root partion, only a certain one, which I used for data storage. How can I mount the missing partitions ? [22:11] RediXe: ok. are they on a network? [22:11] linxeh: Is there not a java dev anywhere? [22:11] says command can't be found [22:11] RediXe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jre take a look at that [22:11] i think why unetbootin doesnt work [22:11] <__MAV> What program can I use to backup my Ubuntu installation (including partitioning) and burn it to DVD so later I can boot from that DVD and restore the system ? [22:11] it doesnt work with lilo [22:11] only grub [22:11] HacKBoX_: I am ssh'd into the server atm - not sure why but it can't access the outside world and I'm not too worried about. I'll just scp the deb file over and manually do it [22:11] RediXe: if there was you wouldnt want it. the jdk one is the dev kit for compiling [22:12] RediXe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jre take a look at that [22:12] Bear - you up and running? [22:12] linxeh: I know, I just have this memory of when I installed this on my home machine that I used a -dev file is all. Can't access that machine to double check until I go home for the day. [22:13] RediXe: at the top you can navigate the dependencies and at the bottom you can download the files [22:13] anyone able to get vpnc working recently? i had it working successfully a few weeks ago, but not now (since i moved off networkmanager to /etc/network/interfaces; tried going back to networkmanager too, with no joy). i may need to install that other OS if i can't get vpnc to work sometime soon, which i would really hate. [22:13] HacKBoX_: thx :) [22:13] RediXe: No Problem; Thank the community [22:13] __MAV, you could make a installed packages list and also put all personal data into a tarball, but I wouldnt make a DVD to but from. To much work. Just reinstalling with internet connection would be better [22:14] __MAV, (reinstalling using that package list) [22:15] "we" == me and jauricchio [22:15] woops, wrong window [22:15] <__MAV> Matisse: It would be great just to copy partition into place [22:16] HacKBoX_: I assume these packages will run on 64bit machines? [22:16] !usbdev [22:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about usbdev [22:16] I have two encrypted partitions (/home and swap) in my crypttab that I mount/decrypt every boot, both have the same passphrase... Is there a way to make it so that I only have to type in my passphrase once? [22:16] RediXe: you didn't say that one second [22:16] HacKBoX_: Yeah I just realized I forgot to mention that part :P [22:16] Hello, just installed Hardy on my HP Pavilion ze4300 laptop and even though it says "Connected to Wired network connection" it's not pulling an IP Address from my router and I can't get on the internet. Can someone please help me? [22:17] actually copying /home, /etc and maybe /usr and reinstalling could do that, but I'm not sure if there are some more configuration files f.e. in /var or others [22:17] __MAV: You could just create a tarball of /, you could also make an image of the entire disk using dd, there are a couple of options, though the tarball one sounds more right [22:17] anyone know if a usb device's usbdev id changes if reconnecting it? [22:17] xomp - you have the machine there handy? [22:17] RediXe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/amd64/sun-java6-jre [22:17] HacKBoX_: I also, moved over to the sun-java6-sdk and saw the AMD64 so downloading that now. As for depends not so sure [22:17] omnydevi, yes, it's in my lap :-) [22:18] xomp - you try any ifconfig commands? [22:18] How do to install java on my computer? [22:18] omnydevi, no, but I just checked what kind of NIC it has in it and it says "National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller. [22:18] xomp - i am not the best network guy out there by any means, i had this just happen once and all i had to do was ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up [22:19] xomp - well, sudo ifconfig eth0 down and sudo ifconfig eth0 up [22:19] <__MAV> ASULutzy: That sounds great, thanks!

Now I'm almost 100% sure the problem is with the ISP, since when I connect my laptop to the office wire, everything runs smoothly. Now the only thing left to do is fix the issue with the ISP and the hibernation issue for ubuntu [22:21] __MAV: Er, syntax, cd / && tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc exclude=/lost+found exclude=/backup.tgz exclude=/mnt exclude=/media exclude=/sys / [22:21] hi, can i make that Ubuntu start right away, without asking a password [22:22] Jack_Sparrow: you still here?

[22:30] omnydevi: so i put in the command sudo vi /etc/x11/xorg.cong [22:31] omnydevi: i just get that in quotes at the bottom with [NEW DIRECTORY] right beside it [22:31] Does anyone know how to change the soundclip Ubuntu plays on startup [22:31] ? [22:31] omnydevi: then nothing, its not like i can do anything, and moving the arrow keys shows me no real progression. [22:31] Bear - one sec, let me find an example mate. can you see a web page? [22:31] yeah [22:31] sweet, one sec [22:32] omnydevi: do you mean in sudo vi?

[22:32] Canaen: system, preferences, sound [22:32] omnydevi: because if thats the case i just see a bunc of blue ~ and at the bottom is the directory you speak of. i can put in some commands but thats it. [22:33] Bear - yes, we have to sudo vi, i just do the wrong thing and right when i open a terminal the first thing i do is sudo su [22:33] i was installing from the hardy alternate iso and am stuck here not knowing what to do [22:33] bear - on that page, find where it says Section "Device" [22:34] bear - and Identifier "Videocard0" [22:34] Bear - you need to sudo vi yours to have the next line say DRIVER "VESA" [22:34] thats why...you told me /etc/x11/xorg.conG i guess you missed the F [22:35] Bear7809: that's what tab-completion is handy for [22:35] omnydevi: that or i copied it wrong.

(note: this is an old dell computer with a basic sound blaster card) [22:51] Damn, apt gets pissy when it decides to not do anything and I interrupt it not doing anything.

[23:07] on video, my webcam is turning ok [23:07] on** [23:07] that means kopete actually sees the webcam [23:07] curt: if you're more paranoid than I am you can add all kinds of security to this.. you'll have to read the nfs manual if you want to know how to set that up [23:07] Slart: ok [23:08] Slart: then getting the folder to auto mount on the other computer? [23:08] it's not about just the stupid webcam, just that i want to figure it out :D [23:08] curt: ah... first we have to do one more thing on the server [23:08] and i don't know how [23:08] Slart: ok [23:08] ikter: one other thing to try: if sound used to work, and driver is NOT needed, did you check PREFs>SOUND to make sure its not set to AUTODETECT but rather to ALSA [23:08] curt: you have to run "sudo exportfs" to make the it read the file and share the folders accordingly [23:10] curt: now.. I'm not entirely sure on how to do this for multiple users.. I've just added a line in my /etc/fstab that looks like this.."192.168.0.1:/media/disk/markus /home/markus/markus@comp01 nfs rw 0 0" [23:10] I have input coming in on my TV card. how can I view it on ubuntu?

[23:12] on the configuration i have only "accounts, contact list, status, chat window, video and plugins" [23:12] curt: so you don't mount each home folder separately.. [23:12] erisco: do you know the model? is it an internal card, or an external usb device? [23:12] noting about sound :S [23:12] I have ubuntu and I cannot install vlc using sudo apt-get install vlc [23:12] Turno1, Gletob, its an internal card. I will see if I can find the model on it [23:12] Slart: ok [23:12] it says vlc-nox has stuff it cannot install [23:12] curt: and of course.. ubottu will gladly hand out advice.. !nfs is a good place to start [23:12] !nfs | curt [23:12] curt: nfs is the network file system.

[23:13] Turno1, Gletob, its upside down and I cannot see it at the moment. how will the particular model help? [23:13] Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that [23:13] the package is simply not installable and a bug report against [23:13] bearhunter: English, please [23:13] that package should be filed.

[23:13] bearhunter: easy now.. breathe in.. breathe out... now, tell us what's wrong.. details are good, versions are good etc [23:13] Slart: something else occurred to me as well. the server should probably manage the user accounts [23:13] erisco: because there are a couple of very different types of tuner cards, knowing what you have is helpful [23:13] erisco different models have different components, driver requirements, and configurations [23:14] Slart: in case someone changes their password and such [23:14] Is there an app that takes all files in a given folder and can rename them based on a certain specification? Like image001.jpg, image002.jpg etc? [23:14] erisco: thats good, it sounds like your card is working, you just need to scan for channels [23:14] can anyone tell me how to configure sound on a dell latitude d830 [23:14] Turno1, Gletob, well I tried w_scan but it complains that my device is the "wrong type" [23:14] curt: well.. yes.. that might be a good idea.. since it's only 2 computers changing the passwords manually might not be that hard.. but setting up some kind of server based login would be fancy =) [23:14] ok thanks [23:15] Skkyt: you could write a small i loop to do that [23:15] Turno1, Gletob, http://pastey.net/105622 [23:15] In case of FHSS the data ( of a package,let's say ) is sent in one frequency whilein DSS the data of the package is sent in different channel frequencies ,correct ? [23:15] Turno1, Gletob, if you really need that model number I will have to shutdown and get back to you [23:15] i forggot that the flash problem with ubuntu didnt exist hardy hr har [23:15] curt: I'm not really sure on how to set that up though.. never messed with centralized user management in linux === callum_ is now known as calrogman [23:16] erisco: if it's an internal card put the output of lspci on pastey [23:16] Slart: Iĺl go for fancy.

[23:21] mker: then that one :-) [23:21] Turno1, I am not going that far =\ [23:21] erisco : so say the mythtv guys, and they are the largest community of tv tuner using folks in linux [23:22] ikter: thats what worked for ME [23:22] erisco : it looks like you will need to at least compile the latest version of v4l-dvb [23:22] erisco could you install mplayer from the repos please [23:22] but no guarantees ;) [23:22] Whats something for ubuntu to kinda spice up the desktop?

[23:27] Gletob, it is output from an xbox, if that helps [23:27] hey guys i am moving lot of image files from one server to another. but if i wget too fast, the server automatically throttles it. i cannot control the server hosting the image. so how to speed up this process without waiting 2 days for everything to transfer? run multiple instances of wget? [23:27] i want my speaker output to also be my microphone input, what can i do? [23:27] on the other hand, when another person is inviting me, it pop up the message, but when i accept... nothing happens :( [23:28] Gletob: he may just need to select svideo or composite....

One of the subfolders of /home/yourusername/.local/ has all the icons in it; I deleted them from there and they went away. [23:28] Turno1, composite [23:28] erisco : lets see real quick about just selecting the composite input [23:29] it's fine for most places but for Berlin Germany it's totally wrong, always [23:29] erisco : i have no idea how to do that with mplayer [23:29] yaris123456789: that might be one way.. if the server doesn't realise both connections are from the same ip [23:29] yaris123456789 -> both ends you own and they are on same room?

[23:29] erisco : ;) hang on [23:29] webcam doesn't work on kopete :( [23:29] Turno1, I can also do svideo (that is the circular one right?) because I have an adapter [23:29] AndreasMadrid: doesn't it say somewhere in the preferences for the weather thingy? [23:29] which module on the 8.10 livecd is for ext4? I need to mount a partition... ext4dev doesn't work :/ [23:29] Slart: yes [23:29] Turno1, this all started when I mistook HDMI for meaning "the xbox comes with an HDMI cable" [23:29] ikter: sorry again. have to log off... good luck! [23:29] hi :) [23:30] Turno1, so my monitor does not take it :P it'll be quite a while till I can get anywhere to find an appropriate adapter for it too, so [23:30] thx for help [23:30] ubuntu_noob: why not just mount the partition as ext3? [23:30] bye [23:30] erisco : so you really just need a hdmi cable? [23:30] Slart: dunno. i just found the option to show weather, togetzher with the time and date, but not, where the info comes from. For madrid it's accurate, but for Berlin it shows 4°C whereas it's actually -11°C [23:30] erisco : cause that would be so much simpler [23:30] and not only today [23:31] Question: When I unload a module with modprobe -r *** is the device turned off? [23:31] Turno1, I know, but it will be at least a week until I can get one [23:31] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, [23:31] Turno1, so I dug up a TV card and was hoping that'd do it [23:31] doesn't work [23:31] That did it, thanks rww [23:31] the partition was formatted with 2.6.28 ext4 module [23:31] AndreasMadrid: hmm.. I searched the preferences box and there's no urls or anything.. perhaps some wiretapping might tell us what url it goes to [23:31] My video card drivers are apparently reset, it said an error at startup saying it could not communiticate with my gfx card now my resloution is very large and im not sure how to fix it. [23:31] Turno1, and I don't need an hdmi cable, I need an hdmi adapter, from composite to hdmi [23:31] Is it possible to have ubuntu auto-login to the wifi network, without the user logging into GDM ? [23:32] s/auto-login/auto-connect/ [23:32] Hi, I'm here again since no one responded me on ubuntu-brainstorm channel [23:32] well I tried: mount -o ro -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/data/ [23:32] is there a way I can configure the terminal to use 'split-windows' similar to irssi? [23:32] erisco : you know the picture you're going to get with your tv tuner will not be HD, right? [23:32] Simpele?? question: When I unload a module with modprobe -r *** is the device turned off? [23:32] ubuntu_noob: should work considering ext4 is backwards compatible but I believe ubuntu doesn't support ext4 yet but if you do mount -t ext4 it should auto load th ext4 module [23:32] How can I change the swap partition that ubuntu is using? [23:32] Turno1, if I can see my xbox display, yes :P [23:32] Slart dunno about that, am pretty nooob. Just wanted to report to you guys that it works fine for other destinations that i treid, but that fpr Berlin it's been way too high for days now. Maybe someone relies on it... [23:33] the mailserver that sends e-mails from brainstorm registration process is not configured properly [23:33] funkja: by using swapon swapoff and chaning the line in /etc/fstab [23:33] I checked the lib/modules folder on the lifecd but only ext4dev, so I did modprobe ext4dev and doesn't :/ [23:33] AndreasMadrid: I doubt NASA is using the weather applet to time their launches.. =) I'll see if I can find where it comes from though.. [23:33] someone should fix it I guess [23:33] Turno1, well, I have the info I need to compile the drivers. I will try to work that out. [23:33] doesn't work, but module loaded correctly [23:33] ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. how to i set it to load usb once x loads [23:34] My video card drivers are apparently reset, it said an error at startup saying it could not communiticate with my gfx card now my resloution is very large and im not sure how to fix it. === god_julius is now known as julle_ [23:34] comes back with unknown fs type [23:34] erisco : wait just a second [23:35] Turno1, okay [23:35] that's 2.6.27-7-generic on the cd [23:35] Turno1, the xbox output cable has a switch.

[23:44] gogereaver, 360 [23:44] AndreasMadrid: seems it's using http://weather.noaa.gov [23:44] the 360 should output to a tv just fine built in [23:44] AndreasMadrid: I just thought of something else.. are the coordinates for Berlin correct? [23:44] gogereaver, okay, so how do I get it from my tv card to my screen? that is the issue [23:44] but i think its ment for hd [23:45] ohhh [23:45] not a hacked 460 [23:45] trying to output a tv card [23:45] My Video card drivers have been defaulted to whats seems to be none, i have a very large display... when i installed earlier they worked fine and i updated to the nvidia ones under propierty drivers earlier, now thats not avaible. i have the nvidia drivers installed but my resloution is still really low, how can i fix this?

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:48] I would like to know first if I am missing an excellent laptop ? and then get some feedback from users of one of these 3 laptops. [23:48] yea agreed use tvtime for this [23:48] what would happen if I booted without any swap space defined? [23:48] Jack_Sparrow, ah.. looks like a handy method if that is the usage [23:49] and will I be able to use compizfusion well? (I have a 2.5 GHZ amd dual proc with 2 GB of ram and 256 Graphics) [23:49] AndreasMadrid: good idea [23:49] Paddy_EIRE, They still must be approved before they become a factoid [23:49] mob yes very well [23:49] Turno1, I tried tvtime [23:49] yeah? [23:49] Turno1, got another idea? [23:49] mib [23:49] nope [23:49] Jack_Sparrow, hell yeah.. otherwise it would be mad :) [23:49] funkja: if you have a reasonable amount of memory, it should boot fine. I don't think I have one set up right now, actually... [23:49] in tvtime where it says something like ntsc or pal [23:49] Paddy_EIRE, Yea, it was..
