[00:00] batcoder-7: using desktop effects? [00:00] jrib do you happen to know what install i need to make these macros function http://pastebin.com/m3c289418 [00:00] Slart_, ok i do have dig [00:00] Slart_: if i am i dont notice them, i didnt enable anything [00:00] mogi22: try doing a dig on one of your own hostnames.. see if your dns has them.. [00:01] Slart_, dig google returned lots of data, dig (myclient HN) didnt return as much [00:01] Slart_, i guess i dont understand the output of dig to tell [00:01] batcoder-7: hmm.. I think desktop effects is disabled by default... then I don't really know what could be causing it [00:01] batcoder-7: i have not tried xubuntu 8.10 but I have heard it's put on a few pounds [00:02] eseven73 i wouldnt do it yet [00:02] oh no way, LTS for me [00:02] eseven73: few pounds in what way ? [00:02] just general performance [00:03] eseven73: what do you think they did ? [00:03] who knows [00:03] i want to reverse that === [maurice] is now known as crash [00:03] i got some wifi stuffrunning dont need that hmm [00:03] Slart_, dig HN produces same output as dig rubbish, so i guess its failing, but dig server hostname fails too, so i dont think dig is a good way to test. === crash is now known as Guest67494 [00:04] batcoder-7: have you tried Icewm? its slimmer than XFCE [00:04] Slart_, meaning if i dig dhcpserverHN i get same output as dig blahblah [00:04] mogi22: hmm.. I'm looking at the man page for dig.. give me a second [00:04] eseven73: i mean, no but i have seen screens of i, i mean a celeron 2.8 isnt that bad ;) it can handle xfce [00:04] Slart_, i think dig is useful for fqdn on the net. perhaps not on the lan? [00:04] i think its just those daemons they got running in the background [00:05] batcoder-7: ah ok then. [00:05] quit [00:05] eseven73: its not that bad, i just notice small stuff [00:05] maybe its just me [00:05] i do got firefox and like 20 tabs open === Guest67494 is now known as nitridr [00:06] mogi22, Slart_: dig is the "DNS lookup utility", unless you are running a DNS, it's not for your LAN. [00:06] Slart_, what i dont get is why it all worked on gutsy/feisty but now not on hardy. i have same configs, so what changed? [00:06] owh, dhcp server is running bind [00:07] mogi22: What's the actual problem? [00:07] Hi guys! I use dual monitors.. how can I get a new window to open in my primary display? [00:07] owh, basically i want the HN set by the clients on LAN (via dhcp) to work again (i used to be able to ping/ssh into boxes on LAN from my LAN client) [00:08] owh, i can still do so if use their IP, and the HNs do appear in the server leases file [00:08] anyone able to help with virtualbox? [00:08] At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the swap key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [00:08] try #Vbox rods [00:08] owh: but mogi22 *is* running a dns on his lan [00:08] rods: u can join virtualbox channel [00:08] owh, but for some reason i cant ping the HN since upgrading to hardy (both clients and server) [00:08] mogi22 -> what is HN? can you be more clearer or use the correct terms? [00:09] owh: but we're trying to check if it's being updated properly from dhcp [00:09] n8tus: hostname [00:09] I tried #vbox, no one responding [00:09] anyone can help me with grub? [00:09] n8tus, HN is hostname ... is that not the correct term? [00:09] ubuntupe: what's the problem? [00:09] rods: ok.. what is your problem? [00:09] mogi22: Are you running the same DHCP server? [00:09] owh -> it is not good to invent your own acronyms, hostname is correct but not HN, confusing as heck [00:09] Hi guys! I use dual monitors.. how can I get a new window to open in my primary display? [00:10] i make dual boot ubuntu and xp and i cant boot from xp [00:10] n8tus: That's fair enough, though from the context it was pretty obvious to me. [00:10] meh [00:10] n8tus, how is hostname an acronym (i think you meant abbreviation) for "hostname" [00:10] mogi22: It was the reference to HN === cormster is now known as savagery [00:11] owh, dhcp server is same box but upgraded to hardy or is that not what you meant? [00:11] ubuntupe: do you have the systems on one harddisk? [00:11] mogi22 -> whatever you call it, dont invent hn as hostname [00:11] yes i do [00:11] Slart_: I've only come in on the tail of this and I was just responding to the comment about "i think dig is for ..." [00:11] owh, yes i know what the reference was, but it sounded like he/she was saying use hostname as an abbreviation for hostname [00:11] ubuntupe: XP is on the primary partition? [00:11] yes [00:11] mogi22: :) [00:12] Upon lock-screen you have the ability to leave message. When you resume back to the Desktop, there are popups with the messages in them. What is it called? notify-something? [00:12] ubuntupe: take a look int he file /boot/grub/menu.lst, make sure the Windows section contains "root (hd0,0)" [00:12] ubuntupe: followed by the lines "makeactive" and "chainloader +1" [00:12] My user crontabs don't seem to be working. I've added a crontab with crontab-e to run every minute, I've made an /etc/cron.allow with the user's name in it, but it is not working [00:12] Any ideas? [00:12] Slart_, mogi22: Have you tested to see if bind is responding with something like nslookup? [00:12] owh: I understand.. I just thought I would clarify [00:12] # on /dev/sda1 [00:12] title Microsoft Windows XP Professional [00:12] root (hd0,0) [00:12] savedefault [00:12] makeactive [00:12] chainloader +1 [00:12] ubuntupe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:12] I'm trying to add programs through the Add/Remove programs app, however nothing is listed. Any ideas why? [00:12] n8tus, anyway its cool, i agree with you about not making up your own abbreviations. i just thought HN was standard. [00:13] owh, well all clients have full dns and web access. [00:13] hello [00:13] hello [00:13] owh, i have 0 problems after the upgrade (and lots of troubleshooting) except this one weird difference [00:13] mogi22: Yeah, but the clients need to be using *your* DNS, unless all your clients are visible on the Internet. [00:13] usr13, this is eut from earlier. i have tried going to system -> hardware drivers but its just saying that "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [00:14] ubuntupe: can you add "chainloader +1" on a new line? [00:14] owh, well the only dns in their resolv.conf is the local dns/dhcp server [00:14] owh, its one box [00:14] Hey guys I just bought a laptop with no cd drive and want to install linux but I don't have a large enough usb drive. Is there anything I can do my HD has 2 partitions if that helps [00:14] owh, dhcp sets the dns entry for all clients [00:14] mogi22: So my suggestion would be to run nslookup and lookup some stuff, including local names and see what it does for starters. [00:14] Hi folks. Just wanted to let you know that the three undersea Mediterranean cables which were damaged about two weeks seem to have been completely repaired. [00:14] ubuntupe: also make sure your harddrive still contains XP, e.g.: fdisk -l /dev/sda [00:14] owh, i have dhcp setting most everything for the clients except hostname [00:15] owh, ok gimme a sec [00:15] I'm trying to add programs through the Add/Remove programs app, however nothing is listed. Synaptic still sees all avaliable apps though. Any ideas why add/remove doesn't? [00:15] ahddm: You could setup a network boot image and install it across the Internet. [00:15] Thx tiyowan for the update [00:15] owh: how I do that? network boot shows up but i dont know how to use [00:15] 2min to restart [00:15] bzwingzero: What does the menu option next to the search bar say? [00:16] ubuntupe: ok [00:16] is there a more advanced way to customize the colors of all the different parts of everything? I'm having the same problems that I did in windows with programs setting text to black or boxes to white so when I make my theme black background with grey text I can't see some things in programs because of how the programs set it === Guest_560 is now known as emerald_wurx [00:16] owh: All Available Applications [00:16] ahddm: No you'd need to create a USB image of a network installer. [00:16] and sometimes programs don't have a way to change certain colors [00:16] hi my laptop screen keeps flickering all the time. 8.10. any reason for this? [00:16] owh: sorry to easedrop but can you direct me to a web source that will explain network boot images and how to use them. [00:16] luddite: Intel graphics card? [00:16] I thought the color configurations were all affected by ubuntu instead of the programs [00:16] owh, ok so clients can lookup google just fine, but looking up local hosts "server cant find hostname:NXDOMAIN" which doesnt surprise me [00:17] owh: so i still need a larger usb? [00:17] owh, since i cant ping them either [00:17] owh - yes. Mobile Intel Graphics [00:17] my debian(it isnt mentioned in dmesg output ) doesnt detect my sata dvd drive(/dev/sr0) even I have loaded all necessary modules . Any solution , please ? Kernel 2.6.26 Thinkpad R60 [00:17] but for example, I'm using the calendar in evolution right now, the task that I made in the calendar is white so I can't see the text on top of it [00:17] ahddm: No, the image is small. Lemmie look for a Ubuntu source for you and marabout [00:17] ok its works now but i have some quetion [00:17] 1 small question, in the theme manager, how do i "apply" a theme once i select it? [00:18] jinarion: I think it's applied when you click it [00:18] Anyone know why installing linux-virtual installs and configures a -server kernel in my 8.10 install? [00:18] ahddm: marabout: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot?highlight=(network)|(installer) [00:18] Crap [00:18] owh: I have a miniture image of ubuntu that fits i think its installer your saying but when i boot with it all i get is a flashing dot on screen [00:18] hmmm..... doesn't seem to apply anything when i select or click it [00:19] Slart_: how i can make to boot 1st the Xp and 2 ubuntu? [00:19] owh, Slart_ i'm just baffled what has changed btwn gutsy and hardy that causes this? obviously my config doesnt account for that change and thats the problem ... ? [00:19] jinarion: you are in the system, preferences, appearance dialog, right? [00:19] owh: thanks as I have a house full of children and am looking to set up ubuntu on a number of machines in the near future... [00:19] does anyone here know what a gpgme development package is? [00:19] ahddm: marabout: Same link, no highlights: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot -- that should cover it. Check the issues with Hardy. [00:19] 1 sec [00:19] any suggestions about my coloring problem? I don't see any way to change the color of it in evolution [00:20] At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the swap key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [00:20] owh: thanks alot hopefully it works [00:20] ubuntupe: set the default setting in your grub configuration file [00:20] luddite: On my machine it's because the TV output is being checked. If you have a little while, I can see if I can find the bug that outlined the issue. It's to do with the automatic resolution detection which queries the card including the TV output, which causes the flicker. [00:20] Slart_: can you explein me how or show me? [00:21] start_ bingo thank you :) [00:21] I'm trying to add programs through the Add/Remove programs app, however nothing is listed, All available Apps is selected. Synaptic still sees all avaliable apps though. Any ideas why add/remove doesn't? [00:21] bzwingzero: I'd use synaptic to update the package list and try again. Remember to quit the Add/Remove as well. [00:21] Anyone know why installing linux-virtual installs and configures a -server kernel in my 8.10 install? [00:21] owh: tried that already. [00:21] anyoe can help me to format a hardisk in ubuntu???? [00:21] owh - wow - thats amazing- ok - thanks. my laptop has the vga out - so thats probably the one being queried [00:21] mogi22: well.. they changed a lot in gutsy and hardy.. I just use dhcp and dns for my small home lan consisting of a impressive 3 computers =) [00:21] i try gparted but its isnt working ????? === _ is now known as Guest98065 [00:22] mogi22: So, then bind isn't talking to DHCP. I saw something to do with that. Which DHCP server are you using? [00:22] ohw: by the way do you know of a resource that discuss which machines are preferable for installing Ubuntu and which to avoid. I ask as i have an everex stepnote nc1502 that was a pain to get Ubuntu on and would like to steer clear of any other machines that have known issues. [00:22] ubuntupe: run this in a terminal, "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [00:22] bzwingzero: Then I'm fresh out of ideas. [00:23] hey, does anonye can help me???? [00:23] owh, how do i tell [00:23] Slart_: ok [00:23] owh, i just use whatever ubuntu repos install [00:23] marabout: I'm guessing that was for me, no recommendations, the list is too variable. I get bitten regularly and I've been at this caper for 27 years :) Buy from a place where you're allowed to test or return if it doesn't work. Laptops are worst. [00:23] At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the swap key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [00:23] ubuntupe: scroll down to where the long list of kernels are [00:23] how do I know what is using eth0 and what is using eth1? I'm trying to set up firestarter and it's asking for both... [00:24] Slart_: ok [00:24] ubuntupe: starting on the first kernel, count how many there are.. start at 1 [00:24] mogi22: dpkg -l \*dhcp\* [00:24] My mousewheel suddenly stopped working on a recent update [00:24] perillux -> what do you meant by what is using eth0 ? [00:24] any idea how to fix? [00:24] Those of you who use Evolution to manage your calendar: Can you recommend a good PDA that will synch easily with Evolution? [00:24] ubuntupe: ie, count all the lines that start with "title" [00:24] <_sick> when i login as a newly created user i just get a dollar sign, no matter in which folder i am. Is it normal? [00:24] owh, 3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9 [00:24] _sick: nope [00:24] _sick yes it is normal [00:25] mogi22: Huh? [00:25] n8tus: not sure.. but when I set both options to eth0 it says: "The local area and the Internet connected devices can not be the same." [00:25] owh, thats the version [00:25] _sick: is ther anything in front of the $ [00:25] n8tus: so how do I know which is which? [00:25] _sick, n8tus: oh? I thought ubuntu did some fancy prompt thingy by default [00:25] mogi22: Yeah, which application? [00:25] perillux -> are you reading any tutorials at all on how to create a router? [00:25] <_sick> exodus_ms: no [00:25] owh, what you mean dhcp3-server? [00:25] _sick: no, that is not normal [00:26] mogi22: Yup. [00:26] Slart_ -> thats the common prompt $ for the regular non-root user [00:26] n8tus: no I just installed firestarter and I'm trying to run it [00:26] owh: yes sorry about the misspell. that's good info on the laptops Thanks. I was planning to search some thrift stores for the computers so the return issue is kind of out but I will keep my ears open for which machines are better candidates. Thanks again [00:26] Slart_: you mean to change root (hd0,1) with (hd0,0)? [00:26] Anyone know why installing linux-virtual installs and configures a -server kernel in my 8.10 install? [00:26] perillux -> what exactly are you trying to acomplish? [00:26] ubuntupe: nope.. just count the lines that start with "title" see which number is the XP install [00:26] owh, oh well yeah i have client server and common installed on server and client and common on clients [00:26] n8tus: I just want to run firestarter thats it. [00:26] emerald_wurx -> seems to make sense to have a server for running a vm [00:26] <_sick> i used "useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser" and "passwd testuser" and logged it. what else i have todo ? [00:26] I'm trying to add programs through the Add/Remove programs app, however nothing is listed, All available Apps is selected and I've reloaded my sources. Synaptic still sees all avaliable apps though. Any ideas why add/remove doesn't? [00:27] !firestarter [00:27] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:27] At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the swap key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [00:27] perillux -> to do what? to protect one interface or two or three? [00:27] n8tus: I'm trying to install the linux-virtual kernel onto my Ubuntu 8.10 server, which IS a virtual machine, for lack of software PAE emulation. [00:27] n8tus: interface? [00:27] !info luks [00:27] Package luks does not exist in intrepid [00:27] Slart_: its in 6 line [00:28] perillux -> yes, nic card or so call network interface card [00:28] ryanakca, is swap declared before home in /etc/fstab? [00:28] mogi22: Yes, but there are different dhcp servers available, so now we know which one you're using. I'm hunting docs for you at the moment. [00:28] According to the subject line in #bcm-users, b43-fwcutter is broken in Intrepid. What do I use then? [00:28] ubuntupe: then go to the top of the file.. look for the setting for "default" [00:28] n8tus: I don't know if I have any network interface cards [00:28] emerald_wurx -> i dont know what will come out of it, virtual over a virtual [00:28] Slart_: ok [00:28] im trying to get my ibook g4 'ctrl+click' for my right click since i only have a 1 button track pad, any ideas why mouseemu isnt working when i uncomment out the ctrl + click portion? [00:28] ubuntupe: it's set to "0" right? might be "saved" too [00:28] perillux -> you have to have at least one to communicate, without it, you have an anchor on your desktop [00:29] n8tus: I just find it weird that even though I'm specifying the virtual image it is installing the server image...or is that expected on a server install? [00:29] <_sick> exodus_ms: i used "useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser" and "passwd testuser" and logged it. what else i have todo ? [00:29] Slart_: ok 2min [00:29] emerald_wurx -> why dont you just let it go through its pace? [00:29] when doing a dialup ppp connection in ubuntu, should there be a listing with the "route" command - It just hangs (like the attempted ppp connection) when I use "route" to see the status. [00:29] n8tus: I just connect to a linksys router which connects to the internet [00:29] n8tus: The virtual machine will not start with the -server kernel - no PAE support. [00:30] owh, if you tell me what to google, i can happily hunt too. e.g. dhcp not talking to bind? [00:30] I think the dialup problems I have stem from there being no route with the ppp connection. [00:30] !bind [00:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about bind [00:30] Not sure how to address this so that it works when I use either wvdial or pon/poff. [00:30] n8tus: The -virtual kernel is supposed to fix that, and does, in 7.04 and 7.10... [00:31] good night all [00:31] Slart_: i am sorry man i cant understand what i have to make 0 [00:31] Hi, I am running ubntu hardy.. should i upgrade? It would be great with some new apps [00:31] but i dont want the bleeding edge [00:31] thank you =) [00:31] emerald_wurx -> if it does not work, then you have to ask the folks that created those for the distro [00:31] _sick, n8tus: ok, I just created a new user and the default command prompt for a terminal is @:$ [00:31] n8tus: Arighty then, thanks [00:31] n8tus: I just want to know which one is eth0 and which one is eth1, "Internet connected device" and "local area device" [00:32] perillux -> in a terminal type ifconfig and it will tell you [00:32] ubuntupe: near the top of that file is a line that says "default 0", can you find it? on my computer it's line number 14 [00:33] unop: yes [00:33] n8tus: ok I see eth0 and eth1 with a bunch of stuff after each, but I still don't know how to tell which is which... [00:33] Guys, how do I check which version of nvidia is loaded currently? [00:33] _sick: you didn't select sh as shell for the user, instead of bash? [00:33] Slart_: aa yeah [00:33] Slart_: i find it [00:34] ubuntupe: change the 0 to whatever number you came up with before.. [00:34] <_sick> Slart_: when can i define it ? [00:34] ryanakca, what i might do is have the swap partition mounted by a command in /etc/rc.local [00:34] perillux -> may i suggest you read up some tutorials on networking? pull the cat5 cable out and experiment, see what happens to the ifconfig command results === maxbaldw1n is now known as maxbaldwin [00:34] <_sick> Slart_:sry, where.... [00:35] _sick: I think it's in the file /etc/passwd .. you can look at it by running "cat /etc/passwd" in a terminal [00:35] unop: oooh, yes, that would work. Many thanks :) === maxbaldwin is now known as Guest56432 [00:35] _sick: find the line with the username of the user you created [00:35] man, I have some messed up sound issues going on and nothing seems to help [00:35] n8tus: why do I have to be an expert on this stuff just to run the firewall? [00:36] hello all. If I get a VFS error upon booting my new kernel, is it due to not having an initrd file (and if so where do I get it from) or can it be because kernel options needed by ubuntu were left out during kernel configuration? [00:36] mogi22: http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-setup-dhcp-server-and-dynamic-dns-with-bind-in-debian.html [00:36] _sick: see if it says ":/bin/sh" or ":/bin/bash" a the end of the line === Guest56432 is now known as maxbaldwin [00:36] perillux -> firewall stuff is for experts, you want it secured? you hire a professional okay? [00:36] When encoding with lame, is it possible to use '--new-vbr -V 3 --freeformat' ? --freeformat requires a -b (minimum bitrate), but isn't that handled by the VBR quality (-V 3)? === maxbaldwin is now known as Guest12344 [00:37] ryanakca: you might want to check out also #hydrogenaudio [00:37] <_sick> Slart_: it says: testuser:x:1000:1000::/home/testuser:/bin/sh [00:37] n8tus: I want to learn, but it just makes sense to me to at least be able to use the firewall while I learn about it.. i can't even use it until i get past this setup, and I can't do that until I figure out which is eth0 and which is eth1.. can't u just tell me? [00:38] perillux: You want to run firestarter? [00:38] ryanakca: yes [00:38] How can I set the behavior of rt-clk-empty-trash to use sdelete or a custom command? [00:38] I've never used it, but, I'm guessing you have two cards and that you're trying to figure out which card is eth0 and which one is eth1 ? [00:38] perillux -> i gave you a hint, ifconfig will tell you [00:38] vjacob: thanks [00:39] _sick: ok.. on the end of it it says ":/bin/sh" ... that's the login shell.. sh is a ... slimmer shell used mostly for running scripts.. bash has some extra features for when you use it in a terminal [00:39] .. [00:39] _sick: is this a desktop install? [00:39] All: Any good sight to find Admin work? [00:39] _sick: ie, you run gnome? [00:39] cexpert1: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:39] <_sick> Slart_: no [00:39] what are you [00:39] cexpert1 -> they seemed to outsourced it to india, i cant find one for me self :( [00:39] how to get my microsoft lifecam xv-1000 running on ubuntu ibex? [00:39] ryanakca: looking closer at the irc channel, I'd check out their forums instead if I were you. They're buffs with this kind of stuff. [00:40] n8tus: If he is having a hard time with firestarter, I doubt he'll be able to figure out what ifconfig's output means... [00:40] vjacob: *nod*, thanks [00:40] Does the installer allow me to select an already existent LVM Logical volume as root partition?(I already have LVM all settled and the ubuntu logical partition ready to be used) [00:40] ryanakca -> thats why i suggested to him to do a tutorial on networking, and he quipped, its too hard [00:40] luddite: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/275152/comments/21 [00:41] So, everyone's problems fixed now -- I've done my good deeds for the day? :) [00:41] * owh waits patiently for an avalanche...

Personnally my company builds high end servers, and we usually get Admin retainer for 10-40 hrs a month, cause they don't want full time, but need an Admin.

[00:43] Oh, for anyone who was dying of interest about my DVD issues...it turns out that DVD's soundtrack was fucked up. Apparently, that was enough to stop libdvd from letting me play it...but it sort of played in windows ;) [00:43] owh: i get a VFS error when booting my new kernel, is it most likely due to not having an initrd setup working or could it besomthing else? [00:43] _sick: ok, run this "chsh" [00:43] the more i use xubuntu the more i think xfce and gnome are similar [00:43] Cadman21, what desktop? [00:43] Cadman21: Gnome-Look's a pretty popular place. [00:43] I keep reading that pulse is horrible for audio and to remove it, is this true? [00:43] vjacob: What is the actual error? [00:43] perillux: ok. Do you have any means for identifying the two cards? Do you know the ip address of each card? [00:44] _sick: it will ask you for your password.. then it will ask you for a new shell.. tell it to use "/bin/bash" [00:44] owh :/ didn't write it down must admit [00:44] kgodwin: please keep it clean in here.

I hear the one in Intrepid is broken [00:45] ryanakca: when i do ifconfig it shows an address for eth1 but no address for eth0 [00:46] try ifconfig -a [00:46] Cadman21: Interesting. I'm on 8.10. Could you please describe what type of trouble you had? Perhaps someone could look into it. [00:46] perillux: ok. And what is it that firestarter is asking you? [00:46] TheFunkbomb: worked here...

[00:48] It has 2 dropdown boxes, both have two options "eth0" and "eth1". One dropdown box is for local area device and the other is connected network device. [00:48] Lana: I think xchat does that without any plugins.. have you checked the preferences? [00:48] ryanakca: It has 2 dropdown boxes, both have two options "eth0" and "eth1". One dropdown box is for local area device and the other is connected network device. [00:48] do I even need initrd at all, or can it just be disabled? [00:48] Lana, xchat has that under "Nick names to always highlight" [00:48] yeah I've set highlights, but from what I can see it only lets me select words in lines [00:49] oh, I didn't see that, I'll look now [00:49] Cadman21: Does this happen when you try to install just one particular theme? Or with different themes as well? [00:49] perillux: Is 'lo' one of those options?

[00:51] I have a different copy of xchat I guess, I don't have that menu [00:52] LnxSlck: ...so i'm in here asking the question because python has no libglade module [00:52] Lana, theres xchat, then theres xchat-gnome also. I perfer xchat. [00:52] I just installed the one in the add/remove ubuntu app manager [00:52] Lana, unop: are we talking about xchat or xchat-gnome? === WubNet_ is now known as Androis [00:52] ryanakca: ok it actually gave an error, and then I switched it to eth1 and it started the firewall properly, thanks for you help [00:52] I don't know, this is my first day using ubuntu heh [00:52] linkmaster03, so you need something like python-libglade [00:52] perillux: at least, I believe that that is the correct answer. If not, try switching them. If not, ping me and I'll try to help you. [00:52] I love ubuntu, but I'm sick of having to be an expert on every single thing just to get simple stuff to work... like SOUND [00:52] Slart_, Lana, Xchat 2.8.6 [00:53] Cadman21: No, actually. You don't need to customize the panels separately for themes. Are you willing to do some testing with me? :) [00:53] Lana: in the applications, internet menu.. is it called Xchat or xchat-gnome ? [00:53] ah, I have xchat-gnome 0.18 [00:53] just looked at the about in help [00:53] tiyowan: could you recommend one that has mac like menu bar? [00:54] it's the only copy of xchat in there, guess I'll have to install that one manually [00:54] tiyowan: yeah I would be glad to [00:54] ive read about speeding boot by enabling multicore in the boot process, aparently this is done by changing a line in /etc/init.d/rc, does this seems safe?, anyone heard of this, link = http://www.dailygeeks.com/howto/make-ubuntu-boot-faster-by-running-boot-time-scripts-in-parallel/ [00:54] Amarok plays mp3s through my 3 front speakers, but totem only send it through the front speaker [00:54] Lana: look in synaptic.. system, administration, synaptic package manager.. search for xchat [00:54] Any other options? 500+ is a little steep for me... [00:55] Is there a way for me to transfer files from my laptop which has ubuntu to the family pc that has windows vista? [00:55] samd, it's safe and does not make much of a difference [00:55] Lana: it is available from the "Add/Remove" thingy too.. you might have to change to "Show: All available applications" though [00:55] phrostbite, sure, samba [00:56] unop, alright, do you recomend making it?

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [00:57] oh ok. Thank you. Also is there a way to install windows xp on a partition and share some of the media like music that i have with ubuntu on the other partition that has windows? [00:57] phrostbite -> you can have putty running scp in windows to securely download the files from ubuntu, but that does not mean you can easily use the files in windows format [00:57] hmmm, what's the best way to install a flash player for hardy? download it from adobe or use synaptic [00:57] Cadman21: I apologize for the delay; my connection was lagging badly due to too many torrents. I've paused them. [00:58] (a recent flash player( [00:58] I see it, it's just called xchat and has the version 2.8.4 [00:58] phrostbite, yes [00:58] How would I do that? [00:58] Or does it do it by default? [00:58] tiyowan: its cool [00:58] Lana: that sounds like the one [00:58] Cadman21: If you want to run a quick test, we could install some extra themes from one of the packages in the repos. Perhaps you could first test those to see if we could pinpoint the problem? [00:59] anyone here know any really good keyboards ? [01:00] tiyowan: sounds good which one should I download? [01:00] is there any way for a user to see their own password? [01:01] Cadman21: Splendid. Let's get cracking. Open up a terminal and type the following cmd, please: "sudo apt-get install community-themes" The community themes package contains three or four themes, like Dust, Kin, and New Wave. [01:01] tsrk, not really - as passwords are stored internally as one-way hashes [01:01] unop, are they readable by the user? [01:01] unop, in fact, where are they stored on ubuntu? [01:02] tsrk, well yes and no - if shadow passwords are enabled - only the superuser can read them [01:02] !ipv6 > aprilhare [01:02] aprilhare, please see my private message [01:02] tsrk, /etc/shadow [01:02] is there a way to set 'date of last metadata change' of a file to an arbitary date on linux? [01:02] unop, is that enabled by default? [01:02] 为什么没有人打中文呢。 [01:02] tiyowan: ok its installed. [01:02] tsrk, i believe so, yes [01:02] Cadman21: After the package is installed (the cmd has finished running), I would like you to go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, and verify whether some new themes have showed up in the box. Then, I would like you to try some of them out, like especially Dust, and verify whether the menu panels change. [01:02] unop, ok, thanks [01:02] 难道没有中国人在这里聊天吗？ [01:02] 你们都不会说中文吗？ [01:02] !cn | tianhua [01:02] tianhua: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:03] hey... "apt-get update" and friends hang for me when fetching from the network... it says "waiting for headers..." and sits there. only release.pgp works. wget from the same server works fine. [01:03] Cadman21: If the community themes do in fact work, then that would suggest that the themes you are getting from gnome-look aren't being installed properly. [01:03] 你们都不会说中文吗？ [01:03] tianhua, what language is that? [01:04] thank you, I didn't even have to re-do the settings [01:04] it's perfect [01:04] does anyone recommend me a irc server?

[01:08] join/ #ubuntu-it-chat [01:08] Cadman21: If you'd like a mac-ish doc, then there is an application you can install for that. Avant Window Manager. [01:08] I cannot seem to get my internet to work. [01:08] Cadman21: It's an application which will put that Mac dock on your desktop. Then you could hide the bottom panel and use that instead. [01:09] habit: you don't have the right audio codec for the files that you try to play. [01:09] tiyowan: so can I sudo apt avant window manager? [01:09] fucking hell [01:09] sorry [01:09] are we allowed to swear here???? [01:09] no [01:09] no [01:09] Cadman21: If you'd like to try it out, I think the proper command is, "sudo apt-get install awn" [01:09] no ideas anybody? i need to change what's on the "hosts" tab for my wireless and i can't get there because the dropdown is messed >_> [01:10] BenB, how can I know which is right? [01:10] tiyowan: on Intrepid it's: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [01:10] Anyone willing to help a complete Linux newbie? [01:10] Cadman21: Just a quick tip. Some the package names are quite abbreviated, so if at any point you aren't able to find a specific package, then use the synaptic package manager from system -> admin. [01:11] tiyowan: so is it better to try and find themes that are the repositories? [01:11] Cadman21: apt-cache search avant [01:11] tiyowan: ok [01:11] habit: depends on the program you use... if you use mplayer on the console, it usually tells you about the codec and complains that it can't play it.

[01:27] Flannel: just a sec i'll try to do something [01:27] Could someone please help me? I'm trying to get my bcm4306 wireless card to work. I've tried ndisgrk, ndiswrapper and b43-fwcutter without success. Although I do have the driver in the restricted driver menu, pressing activate won't activate it [01:28] TheFunkbomb: plug into the internet with a cord and run sudo apt-get update, then try the restricted manager [01:28] marabout: Another good 'diagnostic' tool is after the freeze, can you still ssh in and do stuff? (since then its just a graphical/software issue, instead of a full lock up) [01:28] I don't have an ethernet wire :( [01:28] I lent it to my brother [01:29] stupid brothers :/ [01:29] does anyone have ekiga working? [01:29] i always wondered how to get that app to work [01:29] Cadman21: Yep. tar.gz is equivalent to zip in linux. :) Now just hang on a second while I try to install this. [01:30] we should probalby ask in the ekiga channel wherever it is [01:30] tiyowan: ok [01:30] TheFunkbomb: you have to run apt-get update before using the restricted manager; I don't know why, but it has never worked for me without that [01:31] Flannel: yeah i just ssh'd into it no problem [01:31] adam7, I'll get an ethernet cord and give it a shot [01:31] thanks [01:31] Hello guys! After I updated my system I cant access the Network share anymore .. I can access the "share" but i cant see my other computer [01:32] TheFunkbomb, try this, it has good reviews. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 [01:32] Cadman21: Ah ok. :) I understand your problem now. See the themes you selected, it's not a Gtk+ theme. [01:32] Hello all [01:32] Is andy or mak on? [01:33] !help [01:33] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:33] tiyowan: so it has to be a GTK? [01:33] adam7 with ubuntu 64 should i look out for anything?

See...customizing the linux is a bit different than other OSes. It's not like "one whole thing". [01:34] Lexvegas, I will try that as soon as I get an ethernet cord [01:34] wait, what time is staples open til? [01:34] anyone know? [01:34] tiyowan: does it matter between GTK1.x or GTK2.x. [01:34] Cadman21: You have the choice of individually customizing different *parts* of your GUI, like the widgets. [01:34] 11pm [01:34] w00t [01:34] brb [01:34] here anyway [01:34] Cadman21: Pick something from GTK2.x [01:35] tiyowan: ok [01:35] Cadman21: I'm trying to find a link that really helped me to customize Ubuntu. Wait one. [01:35] My Network share has been messed up after updating :( [01:35] Flannel: I can run the gnome-terminal on the machine can I use that to diagnose any issues since it appears to be graphical/software [01:35] I cant even get it installed i got ya beat [01:36] just replaced my R/only CD with a rewritable DVD/CD (Sony) drive; works fine but I want to copy a DVD/movie and Brasero shows the drive as "Status: the medium is not writable"; does that mean the DVD is not writable or the "drive"? [01:36] Seracht, about the only big thing is that adobe flash plugin doesnt work the best using the one in the repository. but you can find one that works well on the adobe site [01:37] No tsocks experts, then =( ? [01:37] marabout: well, you know its not a hardware issue (that's good) and not a kernel issue (also good). But, I... don't really have any good methods fr tracking down the offending software unfortunately [01:38] whats the best bittorrent client for ubuntu [01:39] anyone for this => just replaced my R/only CD with a rewritable DVD/CD (Sony) drive; works fine but I want to copy a DVD/movie and Brasero shows the drive as "Status: the medium is not writable"; does that mean the DVD is not writable or the "drive"? [01:39] hi [01:40] anyone know how to show X errors on the desktop background [01:40] BotLobsta how about drivers? [01:40] do they work straight out of the box [01:40] im chaning from suse to ubuntu, is it a big change? [01:40] liek the nvidia experimental drivers? [01:40] Flannel: i'm thinking it is the track-pad software/driver (gsynaptics?) Is there a way to pursue my hunch? [01:40] (I have a dell xps 1330 if it matters) [01:41] anyone from the forum here? [01:41] Seracht, every driver ive seen works for me including the nvidia ones [01:41] !forums | Doom [01:41] Doom: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [01:41] the only ones that might not is if you get a driver for some external piece of hardware [01:42] Anyone know the Download link for Gnash PowerPC? [01:43] Seracht: the only thing to watch out for is that some proprietary 32bit apps may not run [01:43] Seracht: if you plan on using only free software there is no reason not to go 64 [01:44] tiyowan: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueSpace+II?content=78633 does this one work? [01:44] ok cool adam7 [01:44] I'll try it out [01:45] Cadman21: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/12/compiz-emerald-metacity-what.html <- This is what I was looking. It's a good explanation of what the different themes are for. Like what does an emerald theme change, what's metacity/compiz, etc. [01:46] what nvidia drivers would i use for the nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) [01:46] what is ssh? and is it better then ftp? [01:47] does a "make" in kernel compile usually do some spring cleaning, before it gets started, or will it just go through directories and skip files that are already compiled? [01:47] I'm trying to get a better grasp of how to use linux in general, could anyone point me in a good direction of where to start please? [01:47] tiyowan: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueSpace+II?content=78633 this is the GTK one that I picked. [01:47] !documentaion [01:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about documentaion [01:47] yoyoto: try looking on youtube for easy to get started tutorials [01:48] ddr4, the nvidia-glx-96 package [01:48] BotLobsta: ok [01:48] vjacob, Thanks, preferably I'd rather not watch videos, I want to have like a basic knowledge of commands and such, I've learned a bit through trial and error [01:48] acer aspire one , ubuntu 8.1o works well [01:49] Cadman21: That Bluespace is a GTK theme. Ok, I'll describe how to install those. Just open up System -> Pref. -> Appearance | Theme. And just click and drag the tarball you downloaded into the theme window. [01:49] yoyoto: how do you prefer to learn, continually through trial and error or by reading a book [01:49] i'm testing it out. the site doesnt really get into the webcam config ect. but i don't care about it [01:49] anyone know where I can find the minimum system requirements for installing Ubuntu on a celeron machine [01:49] vjacob, Well I like examples that I can try that way i can get a grip on what to do, but I prefer to read because I don't like rewinding and pausing videos [01:50] marabout: they're the same as most other pcs, you probably want >512Mb of RAM [01:50] marabout: I don't think there are any "minimum system requirements" It just runs slow on slow machines and faster on faster ones. [01:51] yoyota: if I were you I'd just google with some keywords like 'linux introduction book" or "linux tutorials step-by-step" [01:52] marabout, I run ubuntu normal install on an old laptop with 256Mb, but i wouldnt reccomend it [01:52] vjacob: so if the machine doesn't have that much ram forget it. Or are there some work arounds, use an earlier Ubunut or... [01:52] marabout: as laxvegas writes [01:52] When I use sudo in a terminal, it frequently takes up to a minute for a password prompt, or for the password to get confirmed. My system is a Q6600, with 8GB DDR21066 RAM, 4x500GB SATAII drives in RAID5 and is otherwise VERY responsive. What's going on? [01:52] marabout: you could try something lighter than ubuntu however [01:52] vjacob, i'm kind of looking for some reccomended guide..... [01:52] recommended by who, all of us, or one of us [01:53] there are soo many guides man :) [01:53] tiyowan: that worked :) so how do I get the dock program to run? [01:53] marabout: I have a P2 800MHz machine and it's not fast but it runs ok. [01:53] Cadman21: Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator. :) === DRNK-E is now known as drnk-e [01:53] Avant didn't impress me. [01:54] Trying Kiba right now. [01:54] Cadman21: Do check out the link I posted. It has a good explanation of the different parts of the GUI you can "skin" in Ubuntu. [01:54] vjacob, one, all, whatever, the google option was my instict, but I thought maybe I'd find something recommended by people [01:54] instinct *** [01:54] vjacob: ive got an old emachine 600mhz 128ram just pulled out of the garage I was hoping to put Edubuntu on for the children. Is that just wishful thinking? [01:54] marabout: edubuntu... I'd say yes, you don't want them falling asleep [01:54] rainabba: Agreed. [01:55] marabout: what you could do is to get some ram for them, however I'd venture to say next moment you [01:55] marabout, maybe xubuntu with educational software? [01:55] marabout: Put more RAM in it. [01:55] willbe upgrading the next component (video)...then processor...even a real low end computer these days is better than that old machine [01:55] Cadman21: I guess what I'm trying to point out is, you have a *lot* of choice over how you want to mix and match the different parts of your GUI. It'll take a while, so don't get frustrated. :) [01:56] yoyota: one of the things I've noticed after starting to use linux is that there is no right/wrong in terms of alternative except what you like. Personally, I've never read such a book [01:56] marabout: But if you run fluxbox rather than gnome or KDE it will use quite a bit less memory. [01:56] okay, I got me an ethernet card. As soon as the room is clear, I'll hook it up [01:56] marabout: There is a Xubuntu that is rather minimalist. [01:57] vjacob, I guess it will be a long night of googling and going guide to guide >.< [01:57] I don't want to lay a 14 foot cable across the room while people are still mulling about [01:57] Hey Guys! this is really strange sometimes I cant see my network shared folders and when I see I cant access them [01:57] Hey guys Wondering if you could help me with something === jesse__ is now known as rikkimaru [01:57] vigo: tell me more... [01:58] jalonso: Just state your questions [01:58] yoyoto: start with "ubuntu guide", linux.com... personally I just google on a case by case basis, e.g. "problem ubuntu" and read [01:58] marabout: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements check that out [01:58] marabout: openbox is a good one I think if you're low on resources. [01:58] how can I fix my network share? [01:58] usr13: dont know anything about fluxbox. Tell me more please [01:58] tiyowan: Well thanks for all the help. I'm great full. so can I download themes for awm dock as well? [01:58] vjacob, I like to be preventative rather than wait till a problem arises, if I can learn how to do things before they happen [01:58] Can someone with some knowledge of driver support for Creative Labs X-Fi sound cards give me a hand? I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to get my sound working (preferably ALSA) [01:58] marabout: That link is for you,,and any one else that is interested in minimal specs [01:58] !NFS [01:58] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:58] hey guys, frets on fire didnt reset my resolution when it quit, so now i can only see a small portion of my screen and its in a HUGE resolution [01:59] I just bought an nvidia 9800 geforce card for my pc and my power supply blew out is there any way these two could be connected ? [01:59] jalonso, yes. [01:59] Yoyoto: --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/free-ubuntu-linux-e-books.html [01:59] any use k9copy and brasero to copy/burn a dvd? [01:59] marabout: http://fluxbox.org/ [01:59] What I find wrong about Ubuntu is that regular system/security updates regularly break driver settings. Every time the kernel is updated, I have to use EnvyNG to reinstall the NVidia drivers. [01:59] jalonso, you should have at least a 500watt for that [01:59] Cadman21: No problem at all. :) Yes, you can download individual themes as well for some applications. AWN has plenty of themes, too. Just look around, take it easy, spend a couple of days setting up your desktop, and you'll be all set. [01:59] yoyoto: okay, that's good too, just don't forget that linux is also trial/error [01:59] exodus: Good one! [02:00] vjacob, I realize, but one of my friend keeps calling me lower than a Noob when I ask him questions, I'd like to not have that [02:00] hehe [02:00] could anyone explain this to me please?: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#ServiceActivation [02:00] tiyowan: well thanks again. [02:00] well we've allbeen there [02:00] thanks exodus_ms Is this a good thing to subscribe via RSS? I'd love some new content [02:00] Cadman21, do you like docks? [02:00] Dexi: I was using a 500wt [02:00] vjacob, Ya know I assumed that, but when I responded with I have to start somewhere he just bashed me more >.< [02:00] you here using bot also? [02:00] http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#ServiceActivation <-- do i type this into terminal or add this to .asoundrc? [02:01] :) [02:01] how can I fix my network share? I Really need some help [02:01] someone i nreally need help with my nvidia drivers and my desktop effects!!! [02:01] yoyoto: as they say... consider your own progress, not in comparison to others [02:01] zelrikriando: yeah [02:01] Yoyoto: try it out, see what you think, there is usually some good things on there, but I will let yoube the judge of that :) [02:02] vjacob good saying! [02:02] Do I actually have to use the "sudo nautilus" to share files in ubuntu? [02:02] tat, I wanted to say that, but they left >.< [02:02] marabout: but you can do a normal install and the system will run ok, will just be slow. Firefox will take 10 seconds or so to load, but the file manager will only take about 3 or 4 seconds. Something along those lines. [02:02] How do I access a CAD program on the Windows partition of this box? [02:02] hello [02:02] Yoyoto: haha [02:02] oh sweet, Predator is on Cinemax [02:02] exodus_ms, anychance you've read any of these books?

[02:03] :( [02:03] can someone help me i have a issue with my nvidia drivers [02:03] oh also, just being curious I'd like to know if anyone uses a twitter application? neither of the ones on the add programs list work for me, and I don't like prism, currently I settled for spaz which uses adobe air, I don't like adobe AIR [02:04] is there any other way to get java working in firefox on an x64 box other than with IcedTea? A particular applet that apparently works under hardy isn't working correctly for me (Intrepid) [02:04] usr13: that's not too bad sounds. kind of like Vista with only 1.5gb of Ram LOL [02:04] http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#ServiceActivation <-- do i type this into terminal or add this to .asoundrc? [02:04] glenn, whats wrong with them? [02:04] Yoyoto: I can't say that I read any of them completly, I usually just browse for a subject I'm intersted in at the moment [02:05] usr13: but it sounds like I should install with an alternative CD to get the best results right? [02:05] marabout: Well, yea... way better than vista. Vista is a hog. [02:05] botlobsta, i don't know i installed the restricted drivers but i can't enable the desktop effects. [02:05] exodus_ms, well what has helped you? [02:05] glenn, are you trying to use compiz? [02:05] marabout: You could probably go either way, but alternate CD would be a safer bet. [02:05] whats the root password for ubuntu? [02:05] ayande: There isn't onw [02:05] damn!!!! [02:05] ayande: There isn't one [02:05] Yoyoto: more importantly I was trying to express that there is too many resources to list here for what you are looking for. [02:06] !root | ayande [02:06] ayande: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:06] !root | ayande [02:06] Do I actually have to use the "sudo nautilus" to share files in ubuntu? [02:06] hmm [02:06] exodus_ms, well firs thing I'd like to tackle is basic terminal use [02:06] botlobsta, yeah. but the thing is before i installed the drivers i turned off the compiz effects via appearance (if that has anything to do with it [02:06] but i cant install anything without the rights [02:06] first** [02:06] ? [02:06] Yoyoto: hold on... [02:06] stero: Why not? [02:06] ayande: sudo [02:06] http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#ServiceActivation <-- do i type this into terminal or add this to .asoundrc? [02:06] usr13: ? [02:07] Anyone here know how to install a driver for 2wire(usb) [02:07] ok [02:07] I get errors when trying to install the driver [02:07] !sudo [02:07] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [02:07] ayande: in the few cases sudo doesn't cut for you and, you really really have to be root, try "sudo su" [02:07] glenn, are there any error messages when you start compiz? [02:07] :) [02:07] shoto1699: A driver for what? [02:08] botlobsta, when i try to enable the effects via appearance i get a error saying cannot enable effects [02:08] 2wire [02:08] usr13: ok I will do alternate. I have to go back to a prior response as someone mentioned install via USB and it looks like the CD tray on this is not happening. thanks [02:08] tiyowan: 2wire [02:08] tiyowan: 2wire does not have a drivver for linux [02:08] getting so pissed of at this network sharing thing :( damn updates :( [02:08] tiyowan: without it i cannot go on the internet [02:08] glenn, does anything show up when you run [02:08] marabout: Very well, I'm sure you'll do ok. [02:08] shoto1699, i think he means what is 2wire [02:09] botlobsta, run what? [02:09] glenn, when you run 'lsmod | grep nvidia' in a terminal [02:09] 2wire is my modem name [02:09] botlobsta i'll try it. can i open a PM with you?

There is a fan in the middle of the case....what kind of power does it plug into? Standard plug like for cdrom drive or one of the cables coming from the front of the unit which I *think* is for led lights, extra fans etc. Or does it plug into someplace on mobo? [02:32] Dante123, offtopic, but they plug onto the board . read the manual [02:32] can someone help me out? For some reason my USB drive went from 2GB to 300mb capacity for no reason? I've tried formatting it in Windows twice now, but still same thing [02:32] thanks for all the helping me fix the grub... imma gonna restart and see how it goes [02:32] Dante123, or at least look at the pretty pictures [02:32] tiyowan: Drapes(wallpaper switcher) using 200MB of swap, Firefox using ~350MB of swap, and Terminal using about 140MB of swap. (all these programs are using about 65KB of res memory each) [02:32] Dante123: The folks in #hardware could help you out.

[02:33] what does everyone suggest here for # of partitions for an ubuntu install, and what / to put on what partition? [02:33] Thanks Jack_Sparrow! (BTW- I hate manuals!!! ;-) ) Second question, we want to partition his hard drive so that his home folder resides on its own partition. He has a 1000 gb (1 terabyte) sata drive. What amount would you recommend for Ubuntu OS and what size for Home (likely the rest of space) [02:34] Jack_Sparrow, I was using it as a means to install an OS, but didn't actually have one installed on the USB [02:34] tseug, Which version of ubuntu, which version of firefox [02:34] tseug: open a terminal window and type "ps aux | grep firefox" with out the quotes [02:34] dkulchenko: It's a firefox memory leak problem. [02:34] Dante123: if you're going to be gaming, 200GB for Ubuntu would be good. if not, 60GB will be plenty [02:34] tiyowan: is it documented somewhere? [02:34] dkulchenko: Lot of folks suddenly find firefox taking over their system all of a sudden. 3.0.4? [02:34] tseug: then find the one that says /usr/lib/firefox [02:35] Jack_Sparrow, the latest version, the "Ram animal" [02:35] dkulchenko: Google for "firefox memory leak"; you'll find loads and loads of reports. [02:35] tseug: the type "sudo kill -15 the first number" [02:35] tiyowan: 3.0.5 [02:35] xinel, ok I see a x-3.0.5/firefox [02:35] again without the quotes [02:35] tseug, Please type lsb_release -a in a terminal and tell us exactly what it shows [02:35] dkulchenko: It's an OS-independent problem.

[02:37] pgrep firefox [02:38] gives u the number straight away [02:38] that's it. [02:38] xinel: Or you could use killall firefox :) [02:38] http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#ServiceActivation <-- do i type this into terminal or add this to .asoundrc? [02:38] WebcamWonder: doesn;t always work for me [02:38] so i go with what always works for me :P [02:39] xinel: you could try killall -9 firefox then. [02:39] -9 is a hard kill [02:39] -15 is a nice kill [02:39] Lana: What are you trying to achieve? [02:39] !enter | xinel [02:39] xinel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:40] is tritium a bot? [02:40] xinel: no, I'm not. ubottu is. [02:40] xinel, No he is not [02:40] i knew ubottu is [02:41] Lana: Emerald provides more customization in terms of window borders, but requires compiz [02:41] could someone please explain why my results for traceroute: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103001/ differ from for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Traceroute.png ?

Then just get some themes off of Gnome-Look. If you are unsatisfied with the themes there, then I'd suggest into looking into designing your own, if you have the time to spare.

[02:54] i can find tons of forum posts about folks who cant get things to load at startup, but nothing about folks who cant get things to NOT load at startup :( [02:54] because i can't speak english and i don't known.

[02:59] tinker_: no, after you update, it *should* work after you enable it.... do you have it enabled on 8.04? [02:59] kafaen: fix your issue?

[03:03] yeah so trying to do the x11 config file for duel monitors, no luck [03:04] no other reports for that model [03:04] IndyGunFreak; thanks for the idea. What should I back up? [03:04] its a ATI 9600 [03:04] tinker_: any important files, etc.. [03:04] mrgenxius:no, the device works like a champ [03:04] the ubuntu forums which seem to be the only place with the answer I need are down, so does anyone know what to do if my add/remove thing is empty? [03:04] IndyGunFreak; I just told it to go ahead anyway. I'll let you know how it turns out [03:04] mrgenxius:ok, say the drive was a slave, would it boot proper? [03:04] THanks [03:04] can someone help me with an nvidia 180.22 issue? [03:04] tinker_: lol, good luck [03:04] should [03:05] ATI 9600 card [03:05] ver: I'm stumped [03:05] mrgenxius:damn [03:05] and I have to go [03:05] anyone here using the sprint mobile broadband card?

[03:06] anibody [03:07] can anyone help with sprint mobile broadband card? [03:07] may i PM somone that knows about x11 config and duel monitors? [03:08] I screwed up trying to expand my RAID and stuff is broken. Anyone familiar with raids in Ubuntu and willing to give me a hand? [03:08] may i PM somone that knows about x11 config and duel monitors? [03:08] how i mine for fish? [03:09] The damn forums are down [03:09] can someone please tell me :what is the command to show partition list in grub ?

[03:10] Overshee: Try #ubuntuforums [03:11] How do I check a usb drive for errors? [03:12] Does anyone have any experience growing RAIDS? I'm really screwed here if I can't fix this... [03:12] ATM? [03:13] keystr0k: fsck device [03:13] arg. I was trying fschk [03:13] Trying to update but I get this error message after I enter my password: The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. etc. [03:13] Ut Oh! I have a tail [03:13] What's going on? [03:13] can someone please help with duel monitors? [03:14] BrettMeister: Have you added additional users? [03:14] usr13: Nope. Tried to install a virtual machine a while back though. Could that be it? [03:14] Hey, I have ubuntu installed to a thumbdrive. The thumbdrive also has Grub installed, however, the entries are wrong. How can I fix them? [03:14] I need some RAID help, anyone got some expertise? [03:15] Updates are not working? [03:15] hi, i'm having a bit of trouble with 8.04. I installed wicd, but wasn't pleased with it, so i reinstalled networkmanager. the problem is that networkmanager no longer appears to start in the tray automatically.. This is odd, because i've done the same thing many times before without trouble. [03:16] tortise: System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs. Is NM listed and/or checked? [03:17] Anyone else have a mac screw up the filesystem on their flash drive? To the point where it is unreadable by linux, or windows. [03:17] w3wsrmm: Network Manager is checked in sessions. [03:17] usr13: Thanks. [03:20] I'm trying to setup an extended Desktop on ubuntu fiesty with a dual head ati card. Before login at the gnome interface, it is doing EXACTLY what I want in that the right monitor is just an extension of the left monitor. However as soon as a login this setting disappears and my right monitor is back to copying the screen contents of my right monitor. Any ideas on what I need to fix in my xorg.conf file? [03:20] Bax: you probably should upgrade to 8.10 [03:23] hi, anywone kwon any free server for homeworld 2 ?? [03:23] I screwed up trying to expand my RAID and stuff is broken. Anyone familiar with raids in Ubuntu and willing to give me a hand? [03:23] If I do sudo apt-get install xcfe4, will that give me the option to login as a xfce session OR as my existing gnome session? [03:23] hi, i want to do this: i want to left click a link, and a new tab will appear, but do not jump to that new tab, how to configure firefox to do this? [03:24] w3wsrmm, i can see NetworkManager starts ok as it's booting, and that the applet is checked in sessions. Wicd was checked still in sessions, so i removed it. and problem persists. [03:24] huwenfeng, edit-prefs, tabs tab. Open in tab [03:25] alex-82, You can choose your session at the login screen. [03:26] yes, it opens on new tab, but i jumped to that new tab immediately. [03:26] i do not want this. [03:26] <[elektron]> hi there [03:26] huwenfeng, middle click on the link [03:26] Linux-4-host. Vista-4-guest. The installation progress seems to be stuck at a certain progressbar for quite some time. Anybody aware of the solution for this kind of behavior? (VirtualBox). Everybody is dead in #vbox [03:26] how do i run a java program using a shell script [03:26] anyone here using a Sprint Mobile Broadband card? [03:27] alex-82, yes [03:28] <[elektron]> i'd like to implement ubuntu-like driver autodetection in my distro. any help??? [03:28] compiz is AWESOME [03:28] Yes, it is. [03:28] <[elektron]> video autodetection, i mean [03:28] BotLobsta: OH, good! you are right [03:28] ahhh water effect all over the screen! [03:28] lol [03:28] Converted windows user? [03:28] lol. [03:28] [elektron], you might get some info about where to start looking if you ask on #ubuntu-motu [03:29] is "traceroute" and "tracert" the same thing? they both give the same man page, from "man traceroute" and "man tracert", but they give me completely different results. when i type "traceroute google.com" i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103003/ - while from "sudo tracert google.com" i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103004/ - so there has to be a difference? (strange that i have to run tracert as sudo and not traceroute as sudo!) i ha [03:29] Sa[i]nT, yeah pretty much [03:29] huwenfeng, yea i love that. I use it all the time [03:29] anyone know of a macro program? i wanna make linux draw my name in fire every time i log in [03:29] how sick would that be? [03:29] Dexi, Compiz does have some good eye candy. [03:29] I screwed up trying to expand my RAID and stuff is broken. Anyone familiar with raids in Ubuntu and willing to give me a hand? [03:30] Dexi, then have the rain effect put it out! [03:30] msutton, this is not the appropite place.. [03:30] kristian_: check the traceroute man. tracert = traceroute -I (pings) [03:30] 192.168.0.1 is my wireless router* [03:30] msutton, please leave NOW [03:30] Lexvegas, YES!!! i dont see rain effect [03:30] Uh....no? [03:30] what is the best linux raid software? [03:30] it should be under the water effect [03:30] oh ok [03:30] msutton, keep asking, at the rate you've been doing so far. Someone probably will come through. markpee you're not an op [03:31] zetharx none. best raid is hardware raid [03:31] msutton, if you do not leave NOW you will be removed by force [03:31] BotLobsta: yes, it is useful! [03:31] hehe [03:31] heh [03:31] woah [03:31] Lol, thanks :P [03:31] i have thing i didnt even know about [03:31] nickrud, [03:31] connection reset by pee [03:31] r [03:31] i just pressed Super R and Super E and i had no idea what was going on [03:31] markpee, if you want to talk about it, #ubuntu-ops [03:31] nickrud, care to explain that '? [03:31] markpee: Please behave yourself. [03:32] w3wsrmn : ok thanks. :-) but tracert/traceroute -I still gives a less complete route than tracert in cmd/windows, how can i get the complete route? :-) [03:33] markpee: yer feeling the power... usually this happens about 6-10 months after you become an op [03:33] Lexvegas, super C is supposed to be used by amarok but something in compiz is making it center my cursor, do you know whats doing it? [03:33] i'm trying to install NBR, but after adding the deb entries, there are several packages that aren't found which are listed, like clutter, clutter-gtk, desktop-switcher... [03:34] is this a nonissue: when i stop my bind9 i get error about rndc connection to remote host closed, key may be bad etc. but i can start bind9 with no errors or log entries and all works well. [03:34] hey all - just curious is there a way to automatically rebuild fstab? [03:34] why do i get errors only upon stopping bind? [03:34] and should i care? [03:34] Dexi, i dont know what it would be, but it sounds like something in the accesability section [03:34] kristian_: oh, sorry, my response wasn't clear. you'll want to use traceroute, not tracert. And don't use the -I switch as most hops won't respond to the pings. [03:34] mkquist: what info would be available to build fstab from? [03:34] I'm inn need of some RAID expertise! Messed up my raid while trying to grow it. Anyone able to help me out? [03:35] i see similar error msgs on google but ONLY for those who cant get bind to work, my bind works! [03:35] msutton: he's a sicco, she' [03:35] !skype > Robert__ [03:35] Robert__, please see my private message [03:35] s a sicco, I'm a sicco, we're a sicco, wouldn't you like to be a sicco (specific informative concise complete on topic) too? [03:36] nsadmin: if i created directories and mounted the disks I wanted in them... it might build from current configuration... [03:36] mkquist: perhaps you could build a script that parses the output of mount when invoked with no parameters [03:36] my wicd cant search wireless network..how can i fix my problem??? [03:36] nsadmin, eh? [03:37] nsadmin: so no command already made huh... oh well, just a thought [03:37] hiihi === KC2ORE is now known as matt [03:38] I have a perl question, anyone up for it? [03:38] matt: If its an actual perl question, you may try the perl channel (#perl?) or #ubuntu-offtopic [03:38] my wicd cant search wireless network..i already set it to my wireless interface=wlan0 [03:38] Lexvegas, you were right, thanks :) [03:38] msutton: what part were you not understanding? I'm suggesting that you providing specifics might get you more help, better quality help faster than if you repeat the phrase... [03:38] can i just ignore the packages that are missing from the netbook remix list? [03:38] Dexi, np glad to help [03:38] Flannel, ahh ok, thanks. [03:39] w3wsrmn : well, if i use traceroute alone i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103003/ - no results. and i dont think "tracert" = "traceroute -I", because i get much better results from "traceroute -I" than from "tracert". basically "traceroute" = no results, "tracert" = some result, "traceroute -I" = more complete result, but still the result from cmd in windows is more complete, showing more accurate. :-/ [03:39] omg compiz is so nice i gotta go pee [03:40] msutton: lots of times really specific detailed information could help people to help you who didn't even realize they had info that's useful to anyone [03:40] !compiz [03:40] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [03:40] I attempted to grow my RAID using mdadm --grow, it started throwing a lot of errors, I didn't think at the time and started expanding my system RAID 1. It stopped the grow and now I am unable to boot my machine off the RAID 1. [03:41] I've 3 raid partitions, two RAID 1s (Root and Swap) and a RAID 5 on 4 disks. I added a 5th and attempted to grow my root partition. [03:41] I didn't think about growing the live system partition. [03:42] fixed. i did not have network-manager-gnome. thank you very much. have a wonderful weekend. [03:42] so the 4 disk raid is the one that's having the problem... me, never did raid... but someone might have [03:42] Is there an official iTunes port or do i have to use wine ? [03:42] hey can anyone help me im trying to install a usplah screen but it doesent work can anyone help me plz [03:42] Stargazer: wine [03:43] Ty, adam7. [03:43] Well, technically they are all 4 disk raids. The 3 different RAID systems are on the same 4 disks. But I don't think thats where the problem is. [03:43] It's that the grow stopped in the middle of doing it. [03:43] oic [03:43] and the errors it was throwing before that [03:43] kristian_: the traceroute manpage states tracert = traceroute -I. Anyways, what do you mean by "windows is more complete"? Do certain which respond under windows provide only * under linux? [03:43] hey can anyone help me im trying to install a usplah screen but it doesent work can anyone help me plz [03:43] any k3b users here? [03:44] !doesntwork | randal [03:44] randal: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:44] quit [03:44] I don't know much about raid... but do you have backups? [03:44] kristian_: *Do certain hops, rather [03:44] This server is supposed to be the backup [03:44] ! [03:44] hey can anyone help me im trying to install a usplah screen but when i go to test it out i got no boot screen just code [03:44] :( [03:44] whats wrong with the site? [03:44] k3b anyone? [03:44] msutton: so howbout the thing it's the backup for? [03:45] It's fine [03:45] rambo298; #kubuntu may be a good channel to check too.. k3b is native to kubuntu [03:45] whew.

[03:45] Javier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] then maybe you could rebuild it from the existing machine [03:45] ok [03:46] msutton: let's just say a coupla things: one, total rebuild is definitely a choice on the table... and 2, back up the original soon! [03:46] w3wsrmn : "Do certain which respond under windows provide only * under linux?" - yes! this is what i was trying to say, sorry about my crap explaining. :-P [03:46] i need help i can't type my password in the terminal [03:46] whats the best wysiwug for ubuntu? [03:46] Javier: what doesn't work? [03:46] Javier: When you type it, it won't echo (for security reasons), but its still being typed [03:46] chilli0: wysiwug? [03:46] chilli0: what's a wug? [03:46] nsadmin: *sigh* 9 hours of building the server down the tubes I guess. [03:46] don't imagine there is a darkroom theme for windows XP? it would be nice to have the windows match when running xp in vbox [03:47] wysiwyg i meant [03:47] msutton: one choice, perhaps out of a handful... [03:47] chilli0: wysiwyg for what...? [03:47] hey can anyone help me im trying to install a usplah screen but when i go to test it out i got no boot screen just code [03:47] chilli0: what do you wnat to do?

Hrm... try increasing the response timeout to 15 or 20 seconds with the -w switch (eg -w 15) with and without -I [03:48] but now i know why thanks [03:48] Javier, it shouldnt, it is a security feature. just type your PW and hit "enter" [03:49] how can i set ALT+Z = to open gnome terminal..where to set this shortcut??

[03:55] redvamp128: /etc/fstab [03:55] trying to install linux on a 15gb harddrive, everytime i run the installer it lands up saying theres an error with the disc.. before it was going halfway through then saying "cannot read from disc". I've tried different CDs/Burn Speeds etc.. whats the problem here?? [03:55] Apparently i'm not the only one whos expierenced this... [03:55] Dexi: that could be the "visual beep" [03:56] ziroday, that'd be it, but its a compiz setting === jonathan__ is now known as beilabs [03:56] i think [03:56] John`A: you do md5 checks of the .iso?

[03:59] kristian_: the difference in a number of hops could be due to the lovely redundancy of the interwebs. one hope may be sending you down a path which requires communicating with more switches/routers, hence the additional hops. [03:59] using the alternate CD i found the errors quicker.. generally corrupt .deb files [03:59] John`A: tried the alternate cd? [03:59] yes [03:59] it only has windows drivers [04:00] those would error out during within 30% of completion [04:00] John`A: right, and you certain you md5sum'd both cds and they checked out? [04:00] i didnt md5sum them after they werre burnt no [04:00] zer0, look for "run a terminal" in the shortcut settings controll pannel [04:00] let me fix wicd first [04:00] i ran a validation on one cd and it had a bunch of bad sectors... i tried burning these again using a slower speed but didnt check them that time [04:00] kristian_: another thing, by default traceroute used UDP (-U), which gave you only *. It's possible your firewall (on linux, since windows was fine) is blocking the UDP packets. [04:00] Dexi: sorry its moved, let me find it [04:01] hi what is ubuntu forums [04:01] John`A: I would md5sum them [04:01] Sea: http://ubuntuforums.org [04:01] if I copy an Ubuntu .iso onto a hard drive and then put that into a machine that's cd drive is broken will it boot from the iso or do I need to actually install the ubuntu OS onto the hard drive?

[04:03] AMD Athlon xp 2400 to be exact [04:03] i'm a second day ubuntu tuser [04:03] bastid_raZor: I am referring to copying the iso onto the hard drive to get it to run off of the hard drive [04:03] i was able to install it before when i only used one harddrive [04:03] does anyone know of a method to use the ipod touch without jailbreaking it? [04:03] in ubuntu [04:04] John`A: okay that should be enough. So try the alternate cd and make sure to md5sum it [04:04] it was when i tried installing it to the master harddrive with the slave attached that i began receiving these errors [04:04] marabout; you can't boot that way, maybe onto a USB drive though.. [04:04] how do i checksum the CD??? is it possible since there are so many files on it after i burnt it [04:04] Hi, on the game Wesnoth, how can I add campaigns to play? [04:04] !md5 | John`A [04:04] John`A: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:04] get them from the net, look in the menu [04:04] w3wsrmn : ok, i understand that the number of switches/routers will increase the number of hops, but ever time i traceroute with ubuntu the hops is 10 less then when i traceroute with windows. i've tried several times now, and i cant see how this can just be a coincident, it has to have something to do with the os. any thoughts? - got no firewall on ubuntu so it should be fine. i am not sure how the wireless router or my modem/router is co [04:04] okay i have a chcksum checker installed on here [04:05] does it matter if i change the speed [04:05] its default is 4x [04:05] i changed it to 2x and have since had more errors.. [04:06] w3wsrmn : ubuntu/win machine - wireless router - modem/with firewall config - internet [04:06] bastid_raZor: the machine in question (emachine 600ix) cannot boot from the USB. someone mentioned getting Ubuntu onto a hard drive and then just putting that HD into the machine. I am unclear if it needs to be actually 'installed' on the HD or can it be the disc image, e.g. the iso [04:06] John`A: slower is usually better, but its your choice. Run a cd check as well before starting the install [04:06] ok [04:06] ==/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0 [04:06] without the == does that seem right [04:07] now there is a command to run to have it check the fstab-- [04:07] could somebody help me to create the driver of my sound card? [04:08] how to run java program using shell script ?? [04:08] marabout; that i don't know. [04:08] javier what sound card [04:08] k [04:08] anyone know the command to type for it to check the fstab [04:08] kristian_: hrm. as for the additional hops, i'm at a loss. the only difference i'm aware of between linux/win traceroutes are linux by default = udp (-U) and windows by default ICMP (-I), hence the differences you saw after adding -I and upping -w. [04:08] What is the Aptitude package that provides all of the build utilities and header files?? [04:08] msutton; build-essential === Cpudan80 is now known as cpudan80______ [04:08] Thanks you Bastid_raZor [04:09] msutton: build-essential provides build utilities. Different packages provide different headers. === cpudan80______ is now known as Cpudan80 [04:09] bastid_raZor: what do you know about via a floppy disc. if I could just get something on there I imagine I can then download via the internet....

[04:12] yes. [04:12] just need press key.. [04:12] zer0: set a keyboard shortcut in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Desktop > Run a Terminal [04:12] ok once the iso burns to disk... [04:12] how do i check the md5sum on it?? [04:13] !md5 | John`A [04:13] John`A: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:13] there is no such option in 8.10 i think [04:13] zer0: I'm using 8.10 right now; there is. [04:13] so i can use winmd5 to check the contents ON the disc?? [04:13] Dexi, have you tried diabeling "audible Bell" in the general settings tab of compiz? [04:14] anyone noticing X forwarding issues w/ 8.10 === drnk-e is now known as DRNK-E [04:14] hi, i'm on 8.10 and was wondering how to check if my ports were being forwarded correctly (using ktorrent) [04:14] man netstat [04:14] hey i have installed one sever and around 60 client systems in our lab and we want to connect all client systems to the sever. Only the sever will have net connection and the client systems are to be updated from the sever.

I'm getting dumped into a failsafe gdm when I boot? [04:15] iiiiiiiiii let me guess... you are? [04:15] anyone know if I can install Ubuntu onto a hard drive in a mac then take that hard drive out and put it in my emachine that has a broken cd drive and is unable to boot via USB?

What version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:16] hey i have installed one sever and around 60 client systems in our lab and we want to connect all client systems to the sever. Only the sever will have net connection and the client systems are to be updated from the sever.

Only the sever will have net connection and the client systems have to update packages through the sever. Can anyone help with this issue [04:17] cplab2-58: that sounds like custom work [04:17] so i was wondeirng if ubuntu has any default blocks [04:17] cplab2-58: that sounds like custom work [04:17] coj: Open a terminal and issue "sudo ufw status". Does it say "Status: loaded" or "Status: not loaded"? [04:17] on ports [04:17] not loaded [04:18] Lexvegas: not sure what you mean. If have a G4 tower which can hold 3 hd's I would boot from the one which has OS X on it and install the ubuntu on the other 'empty' drive. that sound ok? [04:18] nsadmin; i have been assigned to do this work and as a student and as part of my interest I converted the whole lab to ubuntu. do you have any solution to this [04:18] is it possible to Partition my HDD while ubuntu is installed on it? i want to get /home on a different Partition, so that i can reinstall the OS parts [04:18] hi i am trying to get a splahs screen to work when i go to test it i get this error randal@randal-desktop:~$ sudo usplash -c [04:18] usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument [04:18] marabout, no clue, I have no experiance with Mac [04:19] !separatehome | Luxmux [04:19] sorry :) [04:19] Luxmux: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:19] cplab2-58: you'll have to setup a local mirror of ubuntu repositories on the server, probably setup NIS too [04:19] coj: Hmm, so you don't have a firewall set up. Are you sure that your computer's getting the same internal IP address in both Windows and Linux? 'cause it's possible that it's not, and that's throwing off the forwarding. [04:19] Lexvegas: you said to 'unplug' the Mac HD. What did you mean by that? [04:19] usser; whats NIS? [04:19] Flannel, ah, nice [04:19] Flannel, thx [04:19] nis is the active directory of unix [04:19] cplab2-58: its really a custom pretty large project, i doubt you'll find someone to lead you through it here [04:20] rww: when i checked my router page, it listed my machine as having the same internal IP that i assigned it - 192.168.0.19 [04:20] let me reconfirm that [04:20] cplab2-58: NIS= Network information system, equivalent of active directory on linux [04:20] coj: You could double-check with the "ifconfig" terminal command. [04:20] iiiiiiiiii: perhaps ldap is closer [04:20] ah yes [04:20] marabout, when I decided to "dual Boot" windows and ubuntu on 2 seperate HDs i unpluged the windows one just to be extra safe, so i wouldnt risk losing anything [04:20] usser; but since I have done an installation of ubuntu, I have to solve this problem. [04:21] usser;I converted the whole lab to ubuntu [04:21] cplab2-58: google for local repository server [04:21] rww: eth0: inet addr: 192.168.0.19 <-- yup [04:22] cplab2-58: this should get you started http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/02/14/how-to-set-up-your-own-local-repositories-with-apt-mirror/ [04:22] hi i am trying to get a splahs screen to work when i go to test it i get this error randal@randal-desktop:~$ sudo usplash -c [04:22] usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument [04:22] usser; and i didnt know that the server is without graphical [04:22] can anyone suggest me a irc server for "home usage"? [04:22] what do you guys use for your filesystem type - ReiserFS, ext3 or something else? Which one is quickest with the current Ubuntu? [04:22] w3wsrmn : ubuntu crashed on "traceroute -U google.com". ^^ oh well, anyways "traceroute -I -w 30 google.com" gets no *'s, so im relativly happy, except for the fact that windows seems to get 10+ hops constantly. oh well, i don't really care, as long as there are no *'s, it doesn't miss anything, i guess. [04:22] !aptproxy | cplab2-58 [04:22] cplab2-58: apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [04:22] when I upgrade from 7.04 to 8.10, will I lost the data on my HDD and/or my user settings, such as the programs I have installed and such? [04:23] cplab2-58: thats right server doesnt need gui [04:23] *lose [04:23] unop; usser; thank you for the links. I am checking them [04:23] Lexvegas: Ok I see what you are saying. I was thinking of just 'copying' the iso onto the hard drive but you did an actual 'install' onto the hard drive.So If I wanted the emachine to boot off of that HD Ubuntu would need to be installed onto to. as opposed to just 'copying' the iso onto the drive. [04:23] coj: Okay, so you're definitely forwarding it properly on the router, you don't have a firewall set up... KTorrent is definitely using the right port? I haven't used "netstat" much, but I hear that's the way to check that. [04:24] hi i am trying to get a splahs screen to work when i go to test it i get this error randal@randal-desktop:~$ sudo usplash -c [04:24] usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument usplash: No usable theme found for 1280x1024 [04:24] My add/remove programs list is empty still, noone has had this problem? the ubuntu forums are down which looks like the only answer [04:24] usser; why is that so? I think with gui its much easier to use [04:25] cplab2-58: its a tad outdated, apt-mirror is in the repositories by default now, to install it sudo apt-get install apt-mirror [04:25] usser; so i have to install this on both the server and client machines [04:25] rww: yeah, the port is set correctly in ktorrent, but the thing is that the port itself is reported as closed in that utorrent port checker [04:25] cplab2-58: server's main role is to serve other computers with content and gui just wastes cpu cycles [04:25] cplab2-58, servers are supposed to have small footprints [04:25] kristian1: the fact ubuntu didn't like -U might be something to look into. but i'm glad you're getting better results tracing than before. i for one am off to bed, g'night [04:25] marabout, well just copying the iso wont work. you need to install somehow treat the HD as a cd and make it live (much slower) [04:25] rww: one thing though - different sites detect my IP differently, because of my shitty ISP's proxy [04:26] usser, unop; oh i see. great info [04:26] coj: Heh. Well /that/ might explain it. [04:26] rww: GRC shieldsup detects my IP wrongly but shows the port as open [04:26] so i'm not sure if that's the answer [04:26] cplab2-58: no apt-mirror is installed on server only, its used to make a local snapshot of ubuntu repos locally, then you just point your clients to your local server so that they fetch updates from it not from ubuntu.com [04:26] coj: Sounds like it, because as far as I can tell, everything's set up correctly on your local network. [04:26] 14847: stealth / 14848: open / 14849: stealth <-- what GRC says [04:27] eh ok. but how do i tell what my actual IP is? [04:27] hi, i was trying ipmasq, i rebooted, and now i cant get access to internet. im using ubuntu 8.10 and a wired ethernet connection. all work great in windows.. [04:27] coj: most routers have that information in their status page [04:27] How do i allocate 2 Hotkeys for one function?! i want to allocate a key on my keybord AND on my remote control for "next track" but System -> Pref -> Keyboard shortcuts only allows me to allocate ONE key [04:27] coj, www.whatismyip.com http://ipchicken.com === spr0k3t_ is now known as spr0k3t [04:27] how can i put /usr/local/bin a system wide global path ? so all my apps can pull apps directly out of that folder with the full path? [04:27] i usually use whatismyip.org because it's always been correct in the past [04:28] w3wsrmn : good night. thanks for your help/time! much appreciated! :-) [04:28] but now, if i assume the IP that it reports is correct, then the port's found to be closed [04:28] cplab2-58: sorry that guide is severely outdated now that i glanced through it, just google for setting up local repositories with intrepid or hardy [04:28] Luxmux, you can use xbindkeys [04:29] whatismyip.com and whatismyip.org give me different addresses :/ [04:29] Lexvegas: hmm sounds interesting I need to find more info on that. I am concerned that the HD may format as HFS to work on the mac but an HFS hard drive (to my knowledge) wont then work on the emachine... [04:29] cgiwrap, append it to PATH in /etc/profile [04:30] !hfs [04:30] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:30] coj: According to Freenode, your IP address is 218.186.199.205. Not sure if that helps. === john is now known as Guest56120 [04:30] marabout, yeah, deffinatly look it up. i have to go, but good luck! [04:30] that's what whatismyip.com reports. i guess i'll take that as "real" then. weird that some sites misdetect my ip :| [04:30] thanks rww, you're a pal. [04:31] okay -- can someone answer this-- there is a command to check the fstab [04:31] Lexvegas, whataya know, audible bell WAS causing it [04:31] Lexvegas: yes thanks take care [04:31] usser; okk. so in the sources repositories I can just change it to update from the main server and this will solve the issue? is it so? [04:31] !fuse [04:31] actually no it wasnt [04:31] 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 [04:31] but its gone now so who cares [04:31] coj: No problem :). One last point: some bittorrent clients have an icon on the status bar that says whether your port is blocked. I don't know if KTorrent does, but it might be worth looking in to. [04:31] i think it mighta been part of the water feature [04:31] !ntfs -3g [04:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs -3g [04:31] Actually wondering if Ext4 will be used in 9.04 [04:31] cplab2-58: yes thats the idea, but you have to create the local repositories server first [04:31] !ntfs-3g [04:32] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

I'll try rectifying the server problem and then contact you [04:36] coj: Does transmission have a yellow or red icon? If it's red, it's detecting it as closed. If it's yellow, it's not sure yet (and will change to red or green eventually).

[04:36] usser; We are setting the server only for ther sake of updations [04:36] Bax: but, as with everything, you should have backups [04:37] hi, how can i get a list of installed packages? thanks [04:37] Flannel: so for instance, I don't have to close my IRC window or close all my programs to update? [04:37] cplab2-58: no, for the server you really need the ubuntu server cd because it has an optimized kernel and doesnt include all the bloat the client has [04:37] k [04:37] lemme try it [04:37] is there a setting to disable the cache cleaner i keep seeing? [04:37] Bax: When doing large updates like that, its probably best to close everything yes, but no I don't think you're actually required to. [04:37] help please i cant connect to internet after using ipmasq [04:38] overrider: open the terminal and issue: dpkg -l [04:38] usser; yes i meant we used the server cd itself, but i am just asking whether the installation procedure is same? [04:39] rww: thanks [04:39] cplab2-58: yea pretty much [04:39] Flannel: so there shouldn't be any drastic changes when I update, just a "different engine under the hood" sort of speak, right? It's not like it's going to move my files everywhere or something? [04:40] Bax: Nope, just an upgrade. [04:40] can someone please pm me with the command to check the fstab [04:40] !fstab [04:40] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[04:41] i used to have a swap partition but it's not there anymore, i think my server crashed and something got corrupted, how do i fix that? [04:41] redvamp128: what do you mean? Do you want to mount partitions you've added to fstab? If so, "mount -a" should do that... [04:41] how can run a program "as root" in linux [04:41] usser; thank you very much. Ii'll get in contact with you soon after I finish with the server. How long will you be around [04:41] !sudo | John`A [04:41] John`A: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:41] er, joljam ^^ [04:41] joljam, sudo su [04:41] joljam: command-line programs: sudo commandname. Graphical programs: gksudo commandname [04:41] i still see the partition but there seems to be something wrong with the partition table [04:41] ahh that was the command [04:42] cplab2-58: i was about to go sleep sorry [04:42] /dev/sda3 4636 4867 1863540 5 Extended [04:42] (sudo mount -a) and it didnt' give me an error [04:42] /dev/sda5 4636 4867 1863508+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [04:42] so that means it took my swap [04:42] qqx: "sudo -i" works better than "sudo su" [04:42] two devices have the same Start and End, is that normal? [04:42] usser; keep your system on. Is there any facility that I can beep ur box so that you wake up?? [04:43] rww could you help me with my bluetooth headset [04:43] Hilikus: Yes, if one is an extended partition and the other is inside that extended partition. [04:43] qqx: nope [04:43] oh wow am i stupid [04:43] rww ok, that seems to be the case so the partition table is not corrupt [04:43] ive been playing the same 5 songs over and over because i accidentally put "ss" in the search field of amarok [04:43] Hilikus: that's correct. Extended partitions are kinda like boxes that can hold other partitions. It's entirely normal ;) [04:43] rww: there's no icon that i can see within the transmission window itself. are you perhaps thinking about utorrent? [04:43] is the proper way to add a start-up script to ubuntu to use update-rc.d ? [04:44] so whats the mount point for a swap partition?? [04:44] alex-82, that's one way [04:44] coj: Heh. It appears that I'm thinking of deluge-torrent, actually. Sorry about that. [04:44] Flannel: I just had a problem upgrading, it can't finish. It's blaming my Internet connection, but I think it can't find the necessary files from the error message I'm getting [04:44] in fstab my swap entry has "none" as mount point [04:44] rww: oh ok [04:45] Hilikus, that's normal - a swap entry is not mounted somewhere - because it would be useless if it were [04:45] unop: is there a file somewhere where I can just add the code? [04:45] <_2> Hilikus none is as good as anything for a mountpoint for swap space [04:45] Hilikus: swap partitions don't have mount points, so that's also normal ;) [04:45] unop sigh, ok, so whats wrong then?? my system is reporting 0k swap space [04:45] alex-82, what do you mean? you want to run some code when the machine boots? [04:45] Bax: You're on 7.04, right? [04:45] can anyone tell me how the $%#$ to install blueman? [04:46] <_2> Hilikus show us the line from fstab [04:46] Hilikus, what does this give you? cat /proc/swaps [04:46] unop; yes, just a bash script [04:46] Flannel: yep, want to see the error message? [04:46] hi i need help im geting this error usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument [04:46] is blueman available? [04:46] UUID=71532ed9-6746-4bd9-9f72-c0a6090c5413 none swap sw 0 0 [04:46] Bax: Nah, 404 about not finding the repos, right? [04:46] alex-82, you can place it in /etc/rc.local then # just before the exit at the end [04:46] Flannel: yep [04:46] unop, just this: Filename Type Size Used Priority [04:46] is there a way to merge Gajim History Files? backed some up from a live session and now want to integrate it in my Home installation [04:47] nsadmin, what do you mean? [04:47] Hilikus, how about this. sudo mount -a; cat /proc/swaps [04:47] Bax: right, you need to move your repos to using http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/, see the note about it on the upgrades page (linked from here...) [04:47] !upgrade | Bax [04:47] Bax: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:47] unop: thanks, what if I just want it to run for a particular user (ie can i put it in the home dir somewhere?) [04:47] <_2> Hilikus you might check with "blkid" to make sure that the uuid for the swap is correct. also you might add either auto or defaults as an option in the fstab [04:47] Hilikus: try "sudo swapon /dev/sda5" then check again. [04:47] !startup | alex-82 [04:47] alex-82: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [04:47] the forums is down. does anyone know how long it will be down for? [04:48] alex-82, you can also use sudo in /etc/rc.local to run the code as another user [04:48] unop same result [04:48] Anyone point me in the right direction to get Atheros AR242x wifi working? Since the forums are down. =p [04:48] _2 i'll do that, thanks [04:48] incadudeF, if anyone knows, they'll be in #ubuntuforums [04:48] Hilikus, I suspect your swap partition's UUID has changed [04:48] I tried a few aways on google, but none seem to be working =s [04:48] rww now it reports something! [04:48] Hilikus, what's on the line above the swap entry in /etc/fstab? [04:48] after swapon [04:49] /dev/sda5 partition 1863500 0 -1 [04:49] <_2> Hilikus so it's probably the uuid as i first said [04:49] Hilikus: swapon / swapoff is the "correct" way to "mount" swap partitions. So, I guess your question now is why it didn't get swapon'd in the first place. I'd guess UUID change too. [04:49] anyone here have an ipod touch? [04:49] !anyone | Dracie [04:49] Dracie: 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? [04:49] <_2> Hilikus also the fstab "may" need the auto option before mount -a will pick it up. [04:49] hah thx [04:50] GREAT Ubuntu Forums is having "Database Corruption Issues" [04:50] or how about this.. how do i do a usb sync of my 2.1 firmware ipod touch [04:50] in gtkpod [04:50] _2 sw, auto ? [04:50] qqx http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/blueman [04:50] <_2> Hilikus sw,auto no space [04:50] oh ok [04:50] how does a bash script take in a filename with spaces in the filename? [04:50] lianimator: ask in #bash [04:51] <_2> lianimator quote them or escape the spaces [04:51] lianimator: info bash, look for the section on quoting rules [04:51] what is this channel for then? [04:52] <_2> incadudeF to help beginners find their C:\ [04:52] incadudeF: Ubuntu technical support. Not forums discussion or bash scripting help. [04:52] lianimator: quoting something takes away special meaning of each char in it [04:52] <_2> sorry. [04:52] yeah nsadmin i tried downloading it. its only available for hardy, not intrepid [04:52] lianimator: for example, what is the special meaning of the space char? [04:52] nsadmin: lianimator left #ubuntu already ;) [04:52] muhahahaha! the forums seem to be working again. [04:52] where can i talk about ubuntu then? [04:52] _2, inadvertently correct, in a way. [04:53] <_2> nsadmin depends on the quote. [04:53] incadudeF: if you have a support question, here. If not, #ubuntu-offtopic. [04:53] incadudeF, #ubuntu-offtopic is general chat about ubuntu [04:53] <_2> nickrud i know, that's why i said "sorry" [04:53] ok im being ignored is there anyone here i can talk to that knows how to use usplash plz help [04:54] !patience [04:54] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:54] randal, you're probably not being ignored; ask every 5 minutes or so and someone will step in [04:54] Evening nickrud [04:54] randal: You're not being ignored. If anyone knew the answer to your question, they'd help you. Unfortunately, most people don't bother playing with usplash, so this is outside of most peoples' expertise. [04:54] thanks nickrud and rww [04:54] ya i know ive been asking for 30 min [04:54] Jack_Sparrow, you also. [04:55] sorry im just geting mad at this usplash [04:55] later all [04:55] !usplash | randal [04:55] randal: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [04:55] dont [04:55] randal: Have you tried the things on that page?

[04:56] randal: Are you following some other howto? [04:56] hello, my computer has been locking up recently and i suspect it is a hard drive/SATA controller fault, so i looked at dmesg and got some errors on ata2.00 and some ata resets. here is the dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d4e7a904d can anyone see whether it is a fault in the cheap $9 SATA controller or whether my cheap power supply damaged my hard drive? [04:56] Flannel: that code there test the uspash to see if it set up right [04:57] is there any tools to schedule your job daily under Ubuntu? [04:57] huwenfeng, cron [04:57] !cron | huwenfeng [04:57] <_2> randal and you are running that in a tty console not the gui right ? [04:57] huwenfeng: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[04:58] huwenfeng, mozilla has a calendar todo thing [04:58] munk_: I remember one time, nothing happened when I tried to think... [04:58] hello my lovelies :D [04:58] <_2> randal the first seven consoles can be accessed via ctrl+alt+f# where # is one through seven, the gui is probably running in tty7 [04:59] I got my wireless to work on Ubuntu. All it took was updating via an ethernet wire [04:59] nsadmin ?! [04:59] can anyone tell me 1: can I install Ubuntu on a FAT HD and 2: whether ubuntu will run smoothly in a machine with a celeron processor on a FAT HD [04:59] adam7, you around? [04:59] marabout, No fat [05:00] munk_: can you use wired ethernet temporarily? [05:00] _2: ok i c ill try it like that 1 sec can i copy past in that console [05:00] marabout, It wont handle the permissions [05:00] <_2> marabout syntax error, FAT HD unknown [05:00] In one of our systems, we have created a user called student, and due to some problems the user was deleted. but now the we are unable to create the same user as the home directory already exists. Can anyone tell how to solve this issue for creating the same user [05:00] Jack_Sparrow: gotta be NTFS? Can [05:00] nsadmin yes i can... [05:00] <_2> randal only with "gpm" installed and running [05:00] Jack_Sparrow: **Cant be HFS either? [05:00] marabout, ext3 would work. [05:01] well, anyway. Adam7, jussi01, and all others, I want to thank you for your help [05:01] nsadmin: thats how i have it hooked up now...but i never had to work with pcmcia so i dont know anything, i tried google and i cant find any useful info... [05:01] everyone, thank you so much [05:01] cplab2-58, you can delete that user's home directory (should be at /home/student/ ) [05:02] how does one install mod_rewrite on a copy of apache from the ubuntu repositories? [05:02] you guys were all right, it was a UUID change [05:02] weird [05:02] thanks a lot! [05:02] meoblast001: I think it's installed along with apache. That's my impression from someone asking that the other day, anyway. [05:02] _2 Flannel ok if i use this cosole it gets rid of one error but the error im getting is usplash: No usable theme found for 1024x768 [05:03] Hilikus: yeah, UUID's aren't supposed to change... but sometimes they do and things get odd. Glad you figured it out :) [05:03] mummy's all right... daddy's all right... they just seem a little weird... [05:03] i dislike how the ubuntu default boot has the quiet option on... nobody wants to sit and wait and look at just abar [05:03] rww: the only other possible reason this installation is failing is... lack of some JSON thing.... i'll look into that and ask if i have any more questions [05:03] In one of our systems, we have created a user called student, and due to some problems the user was deleted. but now the we are unable to create the same user as the home directory already exists. Can anyone tell how to solve this issue for creating the same user [05:03] <_2> cplab2-58 two methoods from the command line, sudo rm -r ;adduser student 2. useradd -h student better man the command i might have pulled the wrong switch -h [05:03] rww: or a bug [05:03] Jack_Sparrow: what about an install of Grub or some other CLI via floppy which I can then attach an ethernet cable and install via net [05:03] Dracie_, edit out quiet and splash [05:03] meoblast001, i guess it's just a matter of enabling that module (see a2enmod) [05:03] meoblast001: I don't know if it's turned on by default, though. Do you know how to enable Apache modules? [05:03] _2: Flannel so what do you guys think [05:04] rww: no i do not [05:04] Jack_Sparrow, yeah i know.. just an observation.. i am bored [05:04] my cable is going at 54 k modem speeds [05:04] Dracie_: eh, that's debatable. Personally, I turn off usplash altogether, though apparently not everyone agrees with that aesthetic ;) [05:04] marabout, We have a ton of ways to install. YOu have a hardware restriction stopping you .. I wont be of any help [05:04] cplab2-58, unop answered you...delete the /home/student dir [05:04] _2; the home directory cannot be deleted simply. It needs special previledges [05:04] rww, yeah i keep splash on but put disable quiet.. i like pretty and functionality [05:04] meoblast001: as unop said, check the man page for a2enmod [05:04] <_2> randal sounds like you don't have a correct picture for the size or, it's in the wrong location, or, fbcon doesn't support that rez on that hardware [05:04] Jack_Sparrow: what's the name of the calender? [05:04] !sudo [05:04] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [05:05] rww: k [05:05] huwenfeng, sunbird or sunfire [05:05] <_2> cplab2-58 that's why i said sudo [05:05] is there a way i can disable the automounter for certain devices? [05:05] cplab2-58, root is required, surely someone has root privs? [05:05] kBang, sudo [05:05] cplab2-58 you might as well look at the man pages of: useradd, usermod, userdel, groupadd, groupmod, groupdel because with what you're doing you might need it [05:05] _2: the read me that came with the theme said to use it on that size and where shold it be located\ [05:05] thanks, but I don't need it Dracie_ >.> [05:05] weee im totally out of it [05:05] Dracie_: you romanian [05:06] sorry [05:06] nope [05:06] back again [05:06] brit/american [05:06] rww: so a2enmod mod_rewrite? [05:06] <_2> kBang root is not required, 'superuser' is required, it just happens to be called root on 99.99% linux systems [05:06] romulan? [05:06] lolz [05:06] _2: you said it could be in the wrong location what location should it be in [05:06] Dracie_: oh sorry [05:06] meoblast001: I'd assume so, yes. Like I said, I'm going off what I remember from someone else talking about this the other day. That sounds right, though. [05:06] rww: wait... its rewrite... not mod_rewrite [05:06] <_2> randal that i'm not familear with, sorry. [05:06] _2, having said that - you wouldn't date rename the root user :) [05:07] _2, dare* [05:07] _2 ok what about this fbcon doesn't support that rez on that hardware [05:07] <_2> unop i have. [05:07] Jack_Sparrow: by 'restriction' do you mean that the HD has no OS on it? as my problem is that CD drive is broken and I cant boot from USB. The HD i have is blank no OS whatsoever. [05:07] <_2> unop that's why i said it. [05:07] unless the root user looked like jessica alba, I wouldn't date her :) [05:07] _2 so you mean it could be my hardware [05:07] <_2> randal test with an 800x600 maybe ? [05:08] _2 i think your right i tried puting a bottscreen on windows but i could never get it to work becasue my computer wouldnt handle it [05:08] <_2> randal or if a lappy maybe 1200x800 [05:08] marabout, right, you have a broken cd, cheap and easy to fix and an older system that wont boot a usb.. It really isnt something we can deal with [05:08] What is the purpose of the usbfs filesystem? [05:09] i checked the INSTALL CD for integrity... found two problems right away...both linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.24.13-19.44_all.deb and nvidia-kernel-common_20051028-1ubuntu_all.deb failed mdchecksum [05:09] i may have the file names written incorrect i scribbled it on paper.. :| [05:09] <_2> bullgard4 to make nountable usb devices show up ?

[05:09] _2 lappy???? [05:09] _2: Hm. [05:10] <_2> randal lap top computer [05:10] i went ahead and tried to install despite these cd errors and this time it couldnt even detect the harddrive [05:10] i gave up.. [05:10] so nobody can help me with pcmcia? [05:10] yes, [05:10] bullgard4, http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~tjuerges/ALMA/Kernel/usb/ch07.html [05:10] If you have a ecryptfs directory and Nautalus has seen the unencrypted directory it keeps a cache of thumbnails is there a way to prevent that or to clear the cache when I unmount the folder?

[05:11] _2; KBang; thanks it worked [05:11] _2: but i have a feeling its my motherboard i have never with anyoperating system able to get a bootscreen working [05:11] <_2> cplab2-58 welcome [05:11] qwexer tried #openoffice? [05:12] nsadmin; thank you. it woked [05:12] no, I will...duh [05:12] <_2> randal sounds like the trobble i have with my lappy with ati everything. [05:12] _2; there is a problem to one of our systems. The internet is working but updations or installation of packages are not taking place. Can you help [05:13] cplab2-58: cool... those six commands form the basics of the unix user/group system as they've been implemented under linux [05:13] _2: i dont have ati i have nivida but i think its my motherboard my motherboard always has been werid [05:13] cplab2-58, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [05:13] there are 4 people including me, hope they aren't all taking bio breaks, haha [05:14] nsadmin; I didnt use the commands. Directly I went to administration----> users and groups. [05:14] unop: Thank you very much for hinting me at a very interesting website describing the usbfs. [05:15] <_2> cplab2-58 if it's network related prolly not. if it's package management related maybe. have you tried sudo dpkg --configure -a on the box to make sure it's not a hung package config ? [05:15] anyone familiar with OOo macros? [05:15] can anyone tell me how to downgrade to ubuntu hardy? [05:15] !downgrade | qqx [05:15] qqx: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [05:15] qqx, by reinstalling [05:15] !downgrade [05:15] qqx: backup and re-install [05:16] heh. four people with personal experience at it ;) [05:16] Jack_Sparrow, you do realize you can just . pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list (uuoc, btw) :) [05:16] lol nickrud yup [05:16] <_2> qqx fresh install the older system is supported. [05:16] downgrading of any debian based system is specifically and purposely not supported... they decided a long time ago that downgrades would be way too much work [05:16] unop, Yep.. [05:16] hello, is there anyone here who's had experience with creative beta drivers on an x-fi card running alsa ? I'm wondering how sound quality compares to windows. [05:16] theoretically, how long can I leave Ubuntu running without having to reboot? [05:17] TheFunkbomb, till the cows come home? [05:17] TheFunkbomb, theoretically years [05:17] <_2> TheFunkbomb for ever [05:17] sweet :D [05:17] TheFunkbomb: 5 years? [05:17] longer maybe [05:17] _2; no there is no problem with any broken packages or synaptic manager. [05:17] TheFunkbomb, but there's a few upgrades that require reboots [05:17] Till an update makes you reboot? =p [05:17] so it isn't like windows where I have to reboot after 48 hours? [05:17] or things get buggy [05:18] <_2> TheFunkbomb in practice, the unix time limitation will shut it down in about 2031 if it makes it that long [05:18] TheFunkbomb, never say never , things get buggy on linux too [05:18] _2 "the unix time limitation"? [05:18] yeah, but I can expect a longer uptime than 48 hours, right? [05:18] can someone lead me to a good program for loading music to an ipod? [05:18] thefunkbomb: depends on what you run, [05:18] TheFunkbomb: You have typed a line in this irc chat. FOr windows to understand what this means, you must reboot. Choose: one second, now [05:18] hi [05:18] lol [05:18] TheFunkbomb, firefox 3 seems to have a memory leak, but in general.. yes [05:18] thefunkbomb: I've had my laptop on for almost a week with no problems [05:18] <_2> cplab2-58 then it's probably something im not aquainted with. [05:19] <_2> qqx yes. time stamps are going to run out of digits [05:19] _2 im sure they'll invent a patch before then [05:19] Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting my Atheros AR242x wifi card working? I followed a few guides i seen, but none of them seem to be working. =s [05:19] is there anyone using the Hurd Kernel here? [05:19] unop, All of those are cut and pieced together from a notepad.. I need to clean it up and write more specific notes [05:20] okay [05:20] <_2> qqx the patch is start using 32 bit [05:20] ok, what's the best way to set some environment variables at startup (I only want it to apply to one user) [05:20] us3rX, sounds like the same chipset i have - i used the madwifi drivers [05:20] next question. I like to humiliate my ex-girlfriend playing literati. It requires Java. [05:20] TheFunkbomb: I ran a lab server that was doing mail, primary dns, web service, shell accounts (including for the java, c++, c, web design and programming, unix use, unix admin courses) [05:20] alex-82, edit that user's .bashrc [05:20] I have java 6 but it's not enough for them [05:20] Webforums are down? [05:20] or something like that [05:20] unop, Thanks I'll look in to madwifi. =) [05:20] James2432, I just posted to them [05:20] !java [05:20] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [05:21] one time at least, had the server up the entire semester [05:21] !awesome [05:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about awesome [05:21] ok i have a question, ill stop asking about bluetooth forever if someone tells me is ubuntu bluetooth-microphone-capable? [05:21] oh yes you do [05:21] sorry just joined [05:21] Can anyone tell me how I can resize my home partition? [05:21] Jack_Sparrow, that sounds like what i keep having to do constantly - as of late :) [05:21] I must have missed it [05:21] well ill continue if the answer is yes [05:21] i tried to install the package wxgtk2.8 so that i can install playonlinux but i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/103021/ can smb help me [05:21] qqx: try [05:21] ldiamond: use gparted [05:21] <_2> ldiamond boot a gparted live CD [05:22] ldiamond: Its a live CD [05:22] * nickrud 's notpad is still google [05:22] No other way than a live CD? [05:22] the ubuntu live CD partitioned it very easily [05:22] TheFunkbomb, may I have the link to webforums, please? [05:22] Well, other than that...? [05:22] Jack_Sparrow; http://paste.ubuntu.com/103022/ [05:22] ldiamond, you can boot in recovery mode and use parted, [05:23] ldiamond, not for the faint of heart [05:23] That's starting to sound more like something useful [05:23] ubuntuforums.org [05:23] i tried to install the package wxgtk2.8 so that i can install playonlinux but i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/103021/ can smb help me [05:23] they're good people [05:23] !ot [05:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:23] so...my touchpad doesn't seem to two-finger scroll and I'm not sure how to set that feature. Ideas? [05:23] cplab2-58, that looks fine.. did you sudo apt-get update? [05:24] <_2> ldiamond if you like living on the edge, temporarly set a root password, run sudo kill -9 -1 login as root dismount the home partition and use parted [05:24] _2, that's not a good idea using SIGKILL right off the bat - especially as the superuser [05:24] TheFunkbomb, thats the URL I had it said: ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved...now it says undermaintenance .... thanks anyways [05:24] * nickrud shudders every time he hears the command parted [05:25] * Dam-man Laba ryta. [05:25] sorry. I must have gotten in just under the wire [05:25] _2, that wouldnt allow me to resize the main linux partition right? [05:25] <_2> unop i didn't say everyone should now try that. [05:25] James2432, they had some issues yesterday. Forums were down for 10 hours or so [05:25] has anyone used gtkpod for managing their ipod before? [05:25] must have been one of those rare linux reboots [05:25] _2, i say you should never have to try that [05:25] :) [05:25] !anyone | TheFunkbomb [05:25] TheFunkbomb: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:25] TheFunkbomb, I think they are updating their database to cope with all the posts [05:26] <_2> ldiamond yes actually, i think you can even resize / if you mount it ro first. but i'm not going to hand hold on that one. [05:26] lol [05:26] rww, ??? [05:26] TheFunkbomb: oops, sorry. I accidentally mixed up your nick with the one above yours. [05:27] It happens all the time ;) [05:27] rww, why bother about people starting questions with "anyone".... who cares really..? [05:27] <_2> ldiamond at any rate, editing partitions is always at the risk of losing all data on the entire disk. so use at your own discresion [05:28] ldiamond: I don't care. However, the people who ask questions like "Has anyone used PROGRAMNAME before?" and ends up getting no responses, when they could have just said what their actual question/problem is and gotten responses, probably should care. [05:28] ldiamond, maybe to cut down on those questions? [05:28] TheFunkbomb, I lol'd [05:28] I'm new here and think it's a silly rule but hey, these dudes helped me so I'll follow the rules. Not a big deal [05:28] They'll eventually figure it out... [05:29] Jack_Sparrow; http://paste.ubuntu.com/103024/ [05:29] <_2> anyone know anything about something ? [05:29] ldiamond, what the rule of RTFM? [05:29] _2; nice question [05:29] no, everything about nothing [05:29] James2432, what the hell are you talking about? [05:29] * _2 [05:29] everything about nothing is my forte [05:29] They'll eventually figure it out... [05:30] unop, you're my sole mait ;) [05:30] _2;, unop; no, everything about everything [05:30] * unop eeeks!! [05:30] James2432, what about that? what does it have to do with RTFM? [05:30] I do have another issue though. When I open up OpenOffice, the bar at the top doesn't have any text, just dashes [05:30] nickrud, that's a daunting prospect :) [05:30] I assume this is an issue with my video card? [05:30] When in doubt/trouble RTFM? [05:31] James2432, ok, you've lost me there Betty.

Yep, we will take any shortcuts [05:35] You guys do good work. I've been in non-Ubuntu channels and people can be jerks [05:35] thanks [05:35] TheFunkbomb, 2nd [05:36] I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to computers but that doesn't mean people should look down their noses at me [05:36] you guys rock [05:36] "Ubuntu: Linux for human beings" [05:36] TheFunkbomb, we dont look down at people unless we are helping them up..

[05:37] _Cid see my last post [05:37] i'm new to ubuntu and I'm having problems with brasero freezing up on me or just closing the second it opens? does anyone have any help? [05:37] Jack_Sparrow, well, I'm new and people have been pretty welcoming here. I can't wait until I know enough to where I can help people [05:37] so...my touchpad doesn't seem to two-finger scroll and I'm not sure how to set that feature. Ideas? [05:37] !contribute [05:37] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [05:37] hi, after I recovered grub; i can't boot into window [05:38] TheFunkbomb, that does not mean financially.. [05:38] I'm looking and seeing what I can do to help :) [05:38] <_Cid> "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all are". ... [05:38] <_Cid> there we go [05:38] TheFunkbomb, Just passing on the info you get from here helps imensly [05:38] damn it... just can't get samba flowing. keep getting "network path not found" on the windows box but can ping the ubuntu-running file server. [05:38] _Cid oh you wanted the definition of the word XD [05:39] Jack_Sparrow, I will. I'm going to get a few more days under my belt before helping tho [05:39] can some one please tell me how to boot back into window after recovered grub ? [05:39] TheFunkbomb, welcome to ubuntu, I am calling it a night.. [05:39] Ubuntu is an african word that means "I won't use windows" [05:39] Jack_Sparrow, good night and thanks for the help [05:40] is there a better program for burning CDs than Brasero? [05:40] Aji-Daha1a, hey is that your real name? aji? i've a friend w/ that name but never met anyone else w/ it. [05:40] linux_newbie, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list there is an example of the windows option near the bottom [05:40] Jack_Sparrow; ya I have come to the site. now what do i do [05:40] cplab2-58, Just wanted to make sure your network could see it.. [05:41] @linux_newbie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:41] jack_sparrow: I've done that changing hdx,y but it doesn't work [05:41] Have patience someone will help. I am calling it a night [05:41] <_2> unop hehhe [05:41] linux_newbie, sudo fdiak -l where is windows sda1 [05:41] fdisk -l [05:41] on sda4 [05:42] hd0,3 [05:42] at least that way you will have the right partition.. goodnight [05:42] How can I check the status of a service? [05:42] jack_sparrow: oh ok thx so which means counting from 0 so it's located in 3 ? [05:42] Jack_Sparrow; i have entered the site [05:42] <_2> caution, bios hd0,# != /dev/sda# [05:42] yes it starts at 0... Please goodnight [05:43] linux_newbie: did you change your /boot/grub/grub.conf? [05:43] jack_sparrow: thx for the help, gn [05:43] james2432: nope [05:43] good [05:43] leave it that way [05:43] Jack_Sparrow; i didn't get you?? [05:43] James2432, menu.lst in ubuntu [05:44] oh [05:44] darnit [05:44] lol [05:44] <_2> Jack_Sparrow but you can have only sda1 and sda5 i.e. only two partitions so it could be hd0,1 [05:44] James2432, linux is linux, there'll be a few things you'll catch up on quickly ;) [05:44] cplab2-58, jack left for the night [05:44] <_2> can have only, meaning that it is possable... [05:44] i have my laptop connected to my bluetooth headphones, but sound is still only going through the laptop speakers. how do i fix that? [05:44] I'm so use to gentoo/debian from work x_X [05:44] imma gonna reboot and see how it goes [05:44] James2432: ubuntu is debian-based [05:44] !ufs [05:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufs [05:45] @ tritium, I know, but there are many things that are different [05:45] I can't telnet localhost @ 139 after having just started samba... is there something wrong? [05:45] <_2> nickrud yes i saw it, i lag. [05:45] James2432: hardly [05:45] For example the grub.conf is menu.lst [05:45] cplab2-58, you were having problems with 404's ? [05:45] does someone knows how to trobleshooting k3b? [05:46] Ubuntu boots faster than debian(because of server services) [05:46] nickrud; no. the thing is that I am not able to do updations [05:47] @flashkidd, what's wrong? [05:47] <_2> James2432 boot speed is related to services being started at boot time and whether each script waits on the other to finish or not. [05:47] cplab2-58, put the results of sudo apt-get update on http://paste.ubuntu.com please [05:47] @_2...thats what I just said with (because of server services) [05:47] antimpritha [05:47] sparrow: it didn't work can you please check my grub menu [05:47] James2432: these are minor point. In terms of package management, configuration, etc., debian and ubuntu share a common base. [05:47] <_2> James2432 not exactly, but ok. [05:47] James2432: Sometimes my cdrom isnt recognized [05:47] !pastebin [05:47] 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) [05:48] @tritium, I totally agree [05:48] ooh, xinput did the trick, I wonder if that gets preserved [05:48] @flashkidd, you mean when you insert a blank media? or one that is burnt? [05:49] james2432: can you check my grub menu.list ? === fenris_ is now known as e-jat [05:49] James2432: I cant record in linux, only windows works [05:49] So if I leave my desktop on for a few days the sound goes away. [05:49] Comes back after a reboot. [05:49] and Flash player on Firefox keeps freezing. [05:49] (8.10) [05:49] @linux_newbie sure [05:49] <_2> MK-Admin that's a bug shouldn't happen. [05:50] wht is the command to see alsa mixer settings [05:50] <_2> MK-Admin finding it is the challange. [05:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/103025/ [05:50] I am on fairly proprietary hardrware... [05:50] Gateway FX540 box. [05:51] _2: Where do you suggest looking? [05:51] I kind of need some major help. *somehow* (no time to explain) a user was created with root privileges and either someone maliciously did an rm -rf / (though I can't see it in ps aux | grep rm) but I cannot sudo at all anymore [05:51] my bluetooth headphones are successfully paired to my laptop, but sound still only goes through the laptop speakers. how do i fix this? [05:51] and the system is slowly disappearing. [05:51] keep in mind this is a remote box [05:51] @linux_newbie your grub seems in order [05:51] <_2> MK-Admin /var/log/* and when the sound fails also run the command,,, dmesg | tail [05:51] James2432: The cdrom disapears when I put a media in [05:51] admin@ks357677:~$ sudo updatedb [05:51] sudo: no passwd entry for root! [05:52] oxymoron: go in resume mode and add username to sudoers by usermod command [05:52] james2432: but it still boots directly into ubuntu [05:52] @flashkidd is a blank media or one that you just burnd? [05:52] james2432: what might be wrong with ? [05:52] James2432: A blank media [05:53] @linux_newbie [05:53] line 23 [05:53] add a # [05:53] it hides the menu [05:53] <_2> oxymoron you changed the name of the superuser from root to something else. [05:53] James2432: It doesnt write to the cd [05:53] oxymoron: Can you do locate lsattr [05:53] IIRC daredevilthere, that's a recovery mode. I only have SSH and 'rdesktop'-sort of access to it [05:53] <_2> oxymoron that's what the error message is saying. ^ [05:53] oxymoron: If the person did indeed rm -rf / DO NOT reboot [05:54] HAs anyone got any info of connecting Nokia device to ubuntu through Gnubox and browsing internet [05:54] locate requires admin privs [05:54] @flashkidd, dunno o_O never seen that b4 [05:54] has any one used sun grid ?? [05:54] MK-Admin, I actually think it wasn't a hack attempt [05:54] here's the thing [05:54] james2432: thx, gonna reboot and see if it works. brb [05:55] oxymoron: but since u are not in sudo anymore i think its recovery mode that can reset passwd and add sudo entry [05:55] James2432: I tried a fresh install but dont help [05:55] <_2> oxymoron sudo -u `grep ':0:0:' /etc/passwd` echo boo [05:55] @flashkidd, lemme google this [05:55] How can I get F-Spot to see my samba shares to use as my default folder of pictures? [05:55] oxymoron, MK-Admin: Lets stop mentioning that command, thanks. [05:56] James2432: I am using the live cd with the 4.1.85 (kde beta 2) [05:56] question. If you have a server with X/Gnome installed will it show up checked in Tasksel? Because I simply entered tasksel to install LAMP [05:56] that's the exact time it started happening [05:56] <_2> oxymoron ooops sorry, sudo -u `grep ':0:0:' /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f1` echo boo <<<< [05:56] could it be an issue of it removing all sorts of graphical interface? === cary__ is now known as Commie_Cary [05:57] <_2> oxymoron what does that command do ^ ?

[05:57] sudo -u `grep ':0:0:' /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f1` echo boo <<<< [05:57] sorry [05:57] admin@ks357677:~$ sudo -u `grep ':0:0:' /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f1` echo boo [05:57] sudo: no passwd entry for echo! [05:57] i need help installing ubuntu with wubi [05:57] i restarted computer [05:57] <_2> oxymoron without the <<<< on the end please [05:57] James2432: No just one connected with the hd in a ide cable [05:57] and it gave me a command prompt with grub on it [05:57] that's exactly how I pasted it from openssh _2 [05:57] idk what to do [05:58] (the <<< was a mistake copied from the irc) [05:58] <_2> oxymoron errmmm then you have deleted the superuser account from the passwd file [05:58] apparently apparently this baby is pretty f-ed up, isn't it? [05:58] i need help installing ubuntu with wubi [05:58] @flashkidd, then how are you booting off of live cd? or did you install it from the live cd? [05:58] idk what to do [05:58] i restarted computer [05:58] and it gave me a command prompt with grub on it [05:58] James2432: yes [05:59] coolbam14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:59] Is there a way to get f-spot to see samba share directories? the browser it uses does not show that ability [05:59] James2432: I installed from livecd [05:59] Y-Town, mount the share to a local directory. dont use the 'file browser' browing of shares. [05:59] james2432: greate the menu is shown now.. but it has error 12 when selecting windows [05:59] anyone????????? [05:59] dr_willis: whats the best way to do that? [05:59] <_2> oxymoron solution. boot a live cd (or anything that can access the linux filesystem) and copy these two backup files to their origenal in /etc/ passwd~ to passwd and shadow~ to shadow [06:00] _2 and others thanks for your quick help, I really don't think it's rm -rfing / but rather just deleting all graphical interface AND I messed up bad with the root acct [06:00] Y-Town, mount command, or edit /etc/fstab [06:00] James2432: It works fine to read just record is bad [06:00] james2432: in fdisk -l the windows partition should state something like win95 ex'd right ? [06:00] Is there a guide to playing dvd's in ubuntu written for 8.10? I've found a few but they're quite old. I have installed all the media codecs etc, but no joy. I'm running Ubuntu amd64. I even tried playing them in virtual XP, but that didn't fly either. [06:00] from root folder where are the program files located that are in the applications menu? [06:00] @linux_newbie: error 12 =12 : Invalid device requested. [06:00] _2 this is a server that I use but don't have actual access to, it's remote and a friend who is overseas can only use the support system [06:00] fortunately [06:01] it can be wiped clean and reinstalled without much loss. nothing personal on there. [06:01] <_2> oxymoron only known cure is physical contact admin [06:01] I figured as much _2 [06:01] i tried installing ubuntu using wubi but when i restarted my computer chose the partition it just booted up with a command prompt thats says [06:01] Smegzor, i was thinking it was just a matter of installing the decss stuff from medibuntu, - I tend to use mplayer or vlc however. they may make it easier. [06:01] @flashkidd sorry can't find a solution :/ [06:01] dr_willis: I tried but didnt have much luck... the share folder is actually "pictures" under a different user name...Can you sorta guide me to the correct format to work with to get it to moun please [06:01] James2432: no problem [06:02] @linux_newbie, what version of windows are you trying to boot? [06:02] dr_willis: I've done all that, tried vlc too. [06:02] james4232:winxp [06:02] <_2> oxymoron if you had a root shell open at present you could fix it from there though [06:02] Smegzor, trouble shoot the problem. Perhaps your /dev/dvd link or somthing is wrong [06:02] James2432: I am thinking in buy a new sata cdrom it is not so expensive, and is better than ide drives [06:02] <_2> oxymoron i was answering on the assumption that you don't have superuser shell/s at present. [06:03] i'm going to try another codec.. [06:03] @flashkidd, i'll pm you something [06:03] flashkidd: check ur cd read speed [06:03] _2, btw the remote desktop JUST shut down btw. That's not the point though. I have two shells open [06:03] good morning all [06:03] let me see if any of them still has sudo non-expired [06:03] (both admin accounts) [06:04] <_2> oxymoron no. not a normal user that has sudo rights, but real superuser only. [06:04] no, sorry. [06:04] how I can see that? [06:04] i meant [06:04] linux_newbie, i'll pm you something [06:04] dr_willis: I tried but didnt have much luck... the share folder is actually "pictures" under a different user name...Can you sorta guide me to the correct format to work with to get it to moun please [06:04] <_2> oxymoron ok then my assumption was correct and my answer is also accurate. only through hands on access now. === Gandalf is now known as Guest41346 [06:05] I am pretty much conceded to the idea that playing around with useradd and userdel without knowing wtf you're doing has cost me. [06:05] I need a video card to use with flight gear, any suggestions would help [06:05] has any one used sun grid ?? [06:05] valuable lesson. at least not a production server, just a tester [06:05] Y-Town, theres 1000's of docs/guides out on how to mount a remote share to a local directory the 'samba-doc' package has several books on samba that have a chapter on the topic ;) [06:05] I am trying to run sshd in a chroot jail. at the moment I am getting an error "Privilege separation user sshd does not exist" I have entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (copied from the main system) what else do I need ? [06:06] @linux_newbie, please check PM for grub config [06:06] dr_willis: ty === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [06:07] @flash_kid have you tried burning at a lower speed? [06:07] <_2> oxymoron like i said, if someone on site can copy passwd~ and shadow~ to their passwd and shadow you are fixed. it's a simple copy process. cp /etc/passwd~ /etc/passwd ;cp /etc/shadow~ /etc/shadow [06:07] how do i find what a package was configured with when it was built? [06:08] <_2> oxymoron else you are sol [06:08] hmm [06:08] I'll definitely consider that [06:08] would require going through two people while I was going to wipe the server clean anyway and install ubuntu without the burden of x/gnome [06:08] unop: http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~tjuerges/ALMA/Kernel/usb/ch07.html is slovenly authored. Can you tell me what the author means by the sentence: "You can also poll() this to learn about new devices"? (I can read the file /proc/bus/usb/.usbfs easily using mc. Why does the author mention a need of poll()?) [06:09] dr_willis: I got it working with medibuntu. I've had that installed previously. It must have dropped off in the last dist upgrade. [06:09] what the hell are the Isreal doing now! [06:10] I need a video card to use with flightgear, any suggestions ? [06:10] Where does aptitude install header files for libraries? I just "apt-get install libavcodec-dev" and I can't the files. [06:10] _2, actually here's one for you. all of the files that I need salvaged are located in my $HOME and I have a session open (normal user). Could I just SCP them over? [06:10] scp shouldn't need sudo. I'm not sure though. [06:10] I am trying to run sshd in a chroot jail. at the moment I am getting an error "Privilege separation user sshd does not exist" I have entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (copied from the main system) what else do I need ? [06:11] <_2> msutton a command to remember, dpkg -L | less [06:11] <_2> oxymoron probably yes [06:12] i tried installing ubuntu using wubi but when i restarted my computer chose the partition it just booted up with a command prompt thats says [06:12] _2: I love you. [06:12] Anyone willing to help someone new to linux? I installed Ubuntu on a project PC, and now the Screen Resolution is stuck at 800 x600, and when i [06:12] <_2> neil_d_ user named sshd is in /etc/passwd ? [06:12] thanks again for all your help :). I think I'll idle here and maybe learn something. [06:12] _2: yes [06:12] <_2> msutton it's ok, you'll get over it, i'm a jerk. [06:12] try and change it, i don;t have any optoins [06:12] i tried installing ubuntu using wubi but when i restarted my computer chose the partition it just booted up with a command prompt thats says [06:12] <_2> :) [06:13] @coolbam14 ... is wubi the windows installer for ubuntu? [06:13] !wubi | James2432 [06:13] James2432: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [06:13] <_2> neil_d_ and sshd's home exists "in the jail" [06:13] venport: go2 system -> prefrences -> screen resolution [06:13] *sigh* i've heard so many problems associated with wubi [06:14] if bind is the group for my rndc.key file, and dhcpd user is in the group bind, shouldnt dhcpd user be able to read the key file? [06:14] its perm is 640 [06:14] _2: yes [06:15] i just find it odd that dhcpd cant access the file unless its 644 or gorup = dhcpd. i thought adding dhcpd user to group bind would do the trick [06:15] <_2> neil_d_ hmmmm ok, i struck out. maybe someone else can help you with that error [06:15] @daredevilthere: thanks but I gave that a try and it only lists 800 x 600 and 640 x480 and i was hoping for somthing like 1680 x 1050 (or somewhere around that size) [06:15] actually is it a bad idea to add dhcpd to the group bind? [06:16] ubunut, normally detects PCI wifi devices as well as it detects USB wifi devices, right? [06:16] *ubuntu [06:16] Why god! Why won't the forums come back? [06:16] I'll be good I swear. [06:17] ryanCH not always, but yes [06:17] James2432, wubi is good, *if* people install exactly as recommended [06:17] <_2> ryanCH update-pciids ;lspci see if it finds your wifi that way [06:17] venport: that means ur monitor only supports that resloution [06:18] _2: ok [06:18] !give me a test [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about give me a test [06:18] How do i block access to certain programs for other users? [06:18] @nickrud .... it's that "*if*" that scares me [06:18] Well i'm using the same monitor for my Windows computer at 1680 x1050 (using a KVM to switch)... so i'm not sure why it would not let me use a larger resolution [06:18] daredevilthere, kids? [06:18] James2432, eyup. [06:19] bazhang: no not kids. other users to which i have given shell and access [06:20] bazhang: is there any type of file where i can put all names of programs that certain user cannot use . just like access.conf file [06:20] venport: which graphics driver do u have [06:20] Could my crappy video card not like ubuntu? [06:20] <_2> daredevilthere one way, though it's very convoluted and not reccomended, is set their executable to 750 and put the people that are supposed to run them in the group [06:20] daredevilthere, you want to create a guest account? [06:20] Forums please! kthxbai :) [06:21] can anyone tell me how xorg and usb are interrelated? my mouse seems to have started effecting video performance... [06:21] guys, why do i always get this error whenever i run an update => The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [06:21] it was working before [06:21] Not sure daredevil, i just installed ubuntu today, (very new to linux) [06:21] you have to get the key from the key server [06:21] is there a place where i can read about drvers [06:22] venport: check it with this command sudo lspci | grep VGA [06:22] nsadmin: get the key? [06:22] venport: Yes [06:22] could anyone pls help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103031/ [06:22] Ubuntu really needs a distinct walkthrough of everything important. Like a help file pointing out all the different options in the sound section. Specifically why there are 1000000000000000 options in the drop down menus. [06:22] _2: thats an option but wht if i want to block access to so many programs than? [06:22] ok BRB [06:23] hello, I have a question about wifi drivers for ubuntu... [06:23] and each option in those drop down menus makes different sounds come out of different speakers [06:23] makes no sense [06:23] I'm using a HP Pavilion DV5139us which has a Broadcom card built into it... [06:23] molson | ask [06:24] _2: about that sshd user, could sshd be using an external program to check? [06:24] !ask | molson [06:24] molson: 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. :-) [06:24] ok [06:24] 464 irssi -n LtL -c irc.freenode.net [06:24] bazhang: no not guest account , accounts are already created [06:24] sorry [06:24] <_2> daredevilthere another option would be dir perms. you could move executables to something like /usr/local/bin and limit the access to the dir but again, you are talking about a very custom approach in either case. [06:24] Is there any way to get gdm in intrepid to pay attention to an .xinitrc or .xsession in my home directory? It seems to only see the stuff in the xsessions directory. [06:24] garrettj: well theres man pages for that, granted they're kinda hard to understand at times, but they're there. [06:25] <_2> neil_d_ "pam" [06:25] could anyone pls help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103031/ [06:25] 可以用中文 [06:25] "man pages?" [06:25] !cn [06:25] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:25] carlf i was thinking there was some entry in gdm/kdm sessions menus that read the .xinitrc or .Xsession. but im not sure what installs it.. or where it came from [06:25] shao: please do not use chinese here. [06:26] garrettj: type man find in a terminal [06:26] _2: but there has to some kind of approach i mean some type of conf file where i can write the names of all the programs and username that i dont want them to access.Somthing like /etc/security/access.conf [06:26] !jp [06:26] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [06:26] I'm using a HP Pavilion DV5139us, which has a broadcom wireless card in it. I cannot seem to get this card to work with ubuntu. I've tried installing the broadcom STA drivers and it hasn't worked so far. I haven't been able to install ndiswrapper or ndisgtk (the "make install" command returns a ton of errors) so I can't get the windows drivers to work. Any help or advice? [06:26] wow thank you esven73 [06:26] :) [06:26] <_2> daredevilthere selinux which i don't like. [06:27] _2: selinux whts that? [06:27] _2: found something the sshd user says .....:/usr/sbin/nologin but this program isn't in the jail, I will put it in a have another go. [06:27] venport: c this might help u http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:lTLItxzu180J:www.simplehelp.net/2007/04/30/how-to-increase-the-screen-resolutions-available-to-ubuntu-while-running-in-parallels-for-os-x/+ubuntu+screen+sesolution&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 [06:27] here's another question: How do I get pulseaudio back, in full, when I followed a tutorial to take it off and correct my sound (which it didn't). I never got to mess around with PULSE [06:28] 'back'? meaning you uninstalled it garrettj ? [06:28] yea [06:28] to be honest [06:28] i cant seem to get pulse audio to work. here's the error i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103031/ any help or advice? [06:28] 'sudo apt-get install pulseaudio' should do it [06:28] I can't really remember what I did to get it off [06:28] molson, did you try sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper? Better yet, try system->admin->hardware drivers, see if it shows a driver for your card [06:28] I followed some tutorial eseven73 [06:29] !pm | franklin [06:29] franklin: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [06:29] eseven73 when I go to synaptic manager, there are like 100 things to do with pulse, do I install them all? [06:29] nickrud, I've tried both. the apt-get install ndiswrapper does not work (it says it cannot find the package). the hardware drivers do not show up in the second method listed. [06:29] <_2> #!/usr/bin/ruby [06:29] eseven73: what does "pm" mean? [06:29] <_2> oops . [06:29] *sigh* [06:29] _2: that wasn't it, still giving the error. :( [06:30] nickrud, ndiswrapper does not show up in the synaptec manager either [06:30] molson, go to system->admin->software sources, make sure main, restricted, universe and multiverse are enabled. It'll update your sources, and try again [06:30] @huwenfeng, private message: double click on his name [06:30] garrettj: hmm i would just install pulseaudio, that other stuff listed there are just extras i beleive, at any rate, once you choose pulseaudio, it will pull in everything else it needs anyways [06:30] huwenfeng: private message [06:31] <_2> neil_d_ #openssh might find help in there, i'm not much of a networking nofin [06:31] eseven73: thanks I appreciate it, I'll give it ago... I'm also having a problem getting sound with flash [06:31] _2: I will try thanks for the tip/ [06:31] np [06:32] can anyone help me with this error message? http://i40.tinypic.com/20sj9jq.png [06:32] <_2> neil_d_ also ##linux at times that is the place for advanced networking questions. and some times it's not. [06:32] does anyone here know of a program for macros? recording keyboard & mouse and outputting it? [06:32] garrettj: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' *MIGHT* work for that flash sound issue, im not a flash guru really, but try that. [06:32] eseven73: I'll give a quick try [06:32] nickrud, these options are all enabled. I also went ahead and enabled "source code" [06:33] @Dexi shell scripting is pretty much well macros [06:33] molson, if you still can't find ndiswrapper, then your sources.list got messed up somehow. sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop , then run through the system->admin->software sources again to rebuild them. [06:34] !hardysources | molson (here's complete instructions, works for hardy on up) [06:34] molson (here's complete instructions, works for hardy on up): In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). [06:34] ...this is a fresh install of ubuntu... I'm a relative noobie to this stuff but learning lol [06:34] molson, it happens sometimes [06:35] @molson .... everyone is at one point [06:35] well [06:35] eseven73: what is this downloading? seems like a lot of stuff :D [06:35] <_2> James2432 not me, i'm at two points :))) [06:35] if everyone's at one point, that would be a crowded point! [06:35] garrettj: various codecs and what not needed to for flash, mp3, dvd stuff [06:36] * nickrud gags on bad puns [06:36] what's guru? [06:36] @_2, what do you mean? [06:36] :-) [06:36] ok I'm rebuilding the list now [06:36] can anyone help me with this error message? http://i40.tinypic.com/20sj9jq.png [06:36] eseven73: you may be the most awesome guy ever [06:36] <_2> sorry nickrud [06:36] is there anything that is similar in functionality to ices2 but with mp3 support, but that is not ices0? [06:36] daredevilthere-- Thanks, i'll do some reading them come back, mabye i'll have more questions... [06:36] @_2 .... i hate you for bad pun [06:37] just got it -_-; [06:37] I have a question. Is Doom 3 worth buying and running on Ubuntu 8.04? [06:37] <_2> James2432 that was a gag too :) [06:37] garrettj: lol I'm still kinda new at this myself but I've learned a few basics in this channel to be able to help you with those questions you had :) [06:37] cNOOB, if you want it.. :) [06:37] doom3 and quake4 are pretty good [06:37] you can check the stability of Doom 3 @ WineHQ.com [06:37] Doom3 should have a native linux port [06:37] I just want something to do..and WineHQ says Starcraft doesn't work very good...so...I dont want to waste my money [06:38] ok, followed the instructions you gave me nickrud.. gonna attempt to apt-get install ndiswrapper (under a sudo environment of course) [06:38] it does [06:38] true [06:38] I run both on linux [06:38] cNOOB, FreeCol - is my fave. [06:38] Does Starcraft run perfect? [06:38] eseven73: reboot time woooo [06:38] duh [06:38] FreeCol? [06:38] :P [06:38] !info freecol [06:38] freecol (source: freecol): an open version of Colonization. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.4.dfsg-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 13153 kB, installed size 20092 kB [06:38] no luck on that, still not able to find it [06:39] molson, put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:39] ok..trying to get xchat figured out..it changed since I last used it :) [06:40] <_2> cajeta xchat or xchat-gnome ? they differ i hear. [06:40] this is xchat-gnome! [06:40] molson, never mind. I'm behind the curve, I don't have ndiswrapper in my packagelist either, and I know mine are good [06:40] cajeta: dump that, use xchat. [06:40] What would be a good game to buy or play on my machine that works well on Linux that I can play both offline and online? [06:40] ok nick [06:40] thanks for the advice [06:40] xchat-gnome is rubbish [06:41] ok, off I go! [06:41] bbl [06:41] molson, install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [06:41] using apt-get? [06:41] molson, yes. [06:41] is irssi better than xchat? [06:41] Question, why do people use that bastardized xchat-gnome over the 'real deal'? [06:41] qqx, install it and see [06:41] !better [06:41] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:42] eseven73: man it didn't work, but my sound settings may not be right in the generic section. Do you mind if I pm and pick your brain on basic sound stuff? [06:42] ok installed [06:42] molson, either my memory of package names was faulty, or the naming got changed. Almost certainly the former [06:42] eseven73, you just made a qualitative comparison and here you are using a bot to b#$%#$% me out [06:42] garrettj: im not a sound guy, so i prolly wouldnt be much help sorry [06:42] qqx: xchat is GUI, irssi is curses, terminal based [06:42] what can record from my sound card (or rather pulseaudio, with a monitor source) and broadcast that as an mp3 stream to an icecast server...or what can transcode from ogg to mp3...i've been using ices2 but the majority of programs dont support ogg without a codec (atleast on losedows) means i need to use mp3... [06:42] yeah, I think its the naming [06:42] eseven73: ok thanks anyway :D === im51 is now known as im5 [06:43] molson, you should be good to go [06:43] is there anyone on here willing to pm me and tolerate basic sound questions? :D [06:43] garrettj: np good luck :) [06:43] meh i use kvirc [06:43] where should I go from here? afer the ndiswrapper is installed (which it now is) should it just...work? [06:43] Anyone here have Doom 3? If so do you think it is a worth while buy with good replay ability? [06:43] molson: you need a windows driver for it [06:43] qqx: well whatever, polling is a no no here. ;) [06:43] !ndiswrapper | molson [06:43] molson: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:44] gah. [06:44] ok thanks [06:44] what can record from my sound card (or rather pulseaudio, with a monitor source) and broadcast that as an mp3 stream to an icecast server...or what can transcode from ogg to mp3...i've been using ices2 but the majority of programs dont support ogg without a codec (atleast on losedows) means i need to use mp3...

[06:48] nickrud: do u recommend me to backup deb pakages which i download or install from internet evrytime [06:49] daredevilthere, it can be done, but why? [06:49] im5: um ogg codec is free on windows... [06:49] Would ethernetting 2 PC's together, one being a Linux OS and one being a WIndows OS work for just file browsing? Like I need to access some files on my linux box on my Vista box, and copy them over. Would this work? [06:49] daredevilthere, the cache is limited to 500mb, I never worry about backing up myself other than normal backup routines [06:49] pretty decent support in most players (winamp?) [06:49] hi, I got a question for someone... [06:49] guys, [06:49] poboy975linux: nope [06:49] nickrud: bacause some times my internet works slow [06:49] poboy975linux: I'm pretty sure you would have asked them already [06:50] mrgenixus: but people wont want to download it just to listen to my station [06:50] lol, dont usualy get a response right away [06:50] ran into more problems.. this time it couldnt detect the harddrisk also during a check o [06:50] i checked the INSTALL CD for integrity... found two problems right away...both linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.24.13-19.44_all.deb and nvidia-kernel-common_20051028-1ubuntu_all.deb failed mdchecksum [06:50] nickrud: Oh so can i increase the cache size limit or how can i back them [06:50] mrgenixus: and it wasnt working on my friends winamp... [06:50] i think i overwritten my main user (using useradd i think), so i lost all groups, including sudoers. how can i restore it? [06:50] what can i do about this?? [06:50] im5: no it cudnt open it [06:50] daredevilthere, there's a lot of ways you can handle repositories, you might find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/ interesting reading [06:50] nickrud: alrite thanks [06:51] daredevilthere, after reading that you might have some fresh ideas about what you really want [06:51] silv3r_m00n: well just look through those...thats about the only way i could think of...look for the ones that say "XML" [06:51] guys how do i deal with this apt-get error -> W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [06:51] gn pplz [06:51] silv3r_m00n: try DocBook [06:51] brmassa_, you can restore admin to your main user by booting into recovery mode and running adduser admin [06:51] i'm getting 4 of these errors :( [06:52] yo [06:52] noone can help me with my issues? [06:52] Does any one knw how do i configure ltsp server settings [06:52] nickrud: thanks a lot. i was thinking about it, but i was not sure... [06:52] John`A, if the disk is bad, you need to reburn it [06:52] nickrud this is like the 7th disk ive burnt of it [06:53] different ISO's at times [06:53] :| [06:53] John`A, you should burn as slowly as possible, and make sure the iso is good [06:53] John`A: I don't know anything baout your issues... as far as the bad cd you burned, you have to brun a nw one [06:53] John`A: ummmm...check the md5 sum of the iso? if that is good just reburn...if the check fails re download ubuntu [06:53] !md5sum | John`A [06:53] John`A: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [06:53] I have two extra hard drives in my ubuntu box...they show in the file browser as size listed..but they are unable to be mounted. I ran the ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -alh and it shows a sdb1 device...but when i type sudo parted /dev/sdb1 p it says unrecognised disk label [06:53] the checksum was perfect [06:53] complete match [06:53] then your ram is porbably bad [06:53] anyone? [06:53] how much ram do i need? [06:53] if the disk matches but individual files don't [06:53] Does anyone know how to setup an auto-login without having GDM installed? [06:53] not the issue [06:53] run memtest86 [06:53] John`A, usually its burning too fast. [06:54] Would ethernetting 2 PC's together, one being a Linux OS and one being a WIndows OS work for just file browsing? Like I need to access some files on my linux box on my Vista box, and copy them over. Would this work? [06:54] you'll find bad areas in your ram [06:54] okay [06:54] poboy975linux: what format are the disks? [06:54] last cd i burnt wasthe alternate cd ver [06:54] nickrud: the disk checksums were ok though, which means he's not reading the disc consitently [06:54] what can record from my sound card (or rather pulseaudio, with a monitor source) and broadcast that as an mp3 stream to an icecast server...or what can transcode from ogg to mp3...i've been using ices2 but the majority of programs dont support ogg without a codec (atleast on losedows) means i need to use mp3... [06:54] mrgenixus, iso checksums I think he said [06:54] the original one i burnt was with the gui installer and i got it to install on the hd alone but when i wanted to reinstall so it would detect BOTH harddrives then it started problems [06:54] I dont know.. they are used hard drives...I have never been able to do anything with them....gparted doesnt see them [06:54] right -- oh -- nvm I get it [06:55] John`A, same disk that installed correctly? [06:55] is there a way for me to reformat and partition for linux? [06:55] John`A: ummm...it should detect both hdds...its not like its a retard disk..it knows if theres a hdd... [06:55] yup [06:55] thats what i dont get [06:55] poboy975linux: you wanna reformat? [06:55] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [06:55] i know but i didnt try instaling with both harddrives connected [06:55] these two extra drives....not my main drive [06:55] thatswhy i tried reinstalling [06:56] poboy975linux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [06:56] poboy975linux: use gparted if you have gnome [06:56] John`A, strange. [06:56] i dont think the harddrive is bad, cause i was able to install damnsmalllinux with no problem [06:56] poboy975linux: that's probably the easiest way [06:56] what can record from my sound card (or rather pulseaudio, with a monitor source) and broadcast that as an mp3 stream to an icecast server...or what can transcode from ogg to mp3...i've been using ices2 but the majority of programs dont support ogg without a codec (atleast on losedows) means i need to use mp3... [06:56] I'm on that site....thats where I got the commands to run....but it doesnt tell me what to do when errors [06:56] John`A: you can install dsl? [06:56] with the ubuntu cd's they seem to error out midway through (gui ver installer) then within the first 15% on the text installer [06:56] yeo [06:56] yep, i have no problem with DSL [06:56] gparted doesnt see the devices [06:56] is indonesia [06:57] now im guessing it could be the disc [06:57] jkkkkkk [06:57] im5: mp3 is non-free which means you'll have to use non-ubuntu sources afaik [06:57] poboy975linux: are they plugged in? [06:57] mrgenixus: gah... [06:57] the disc i have dsl on is a different brand than the ones im burning for ubuntu.. of course its size is 650mb [06:57] so i cant burn ubuntu to it :| [06:57] im5: which is to say? [06:57] they are internal sata drives....they show in the cmos ok [06:57] mrgenixus: in other words: DAMNIT [06:57] it really is a bit mind boggling [06:58] especially cause last time i tried the alternate cd install it couldnt detect the hd [06:58] im5 type in google medibuntu and try to install win32 or 64 codecs to work with non free formats [06:59] duhen: but the source im trying to use doesnt support mp3...ices2 [06:59] and ices0 is just retarded... [06:59] the WEIRDEST thing is.. [06:59] guys, if i run a command 'mkdir -p folder' ............. how do i reverse this? can i just simple delete this? i check the mkdir man page but i don't understand... it was too techy for me about parent :( [06:59] the SAME disc i used to install originally, the one that worked, wouldnt work afterwards [06:59] landed up giving me the "errno 5" error [07:00] and oddcastv3-jack ...ofcourse, does jack...which would take ALOT of f***in around with pulse and jack to get it to work... [07:00] when I tried the ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -al command it listed sda1 main sda5 swap, sdc1 external drive, and sdb1 unknown and sdb2 unknown [07:01] gharz: if you figure out all the dirs it made...just do rm -rf (path to the top directory that it made) [07:01] just DONT do rm -rf /* [07:01] whatever you do DO NOT [07:01] !danger [07:01] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [07:01] im5: Please don't even do things like that here. And watch your language. [07:01] Flannel: i told them not to do it, so stfu you ass [07:02] ima leavin [07:02] O.o [07:02] is will robinson here? [07:02] i guess so [07:03] no hes not, he's lost.... in space [07:03] hell all [07:03] thats right....probably forever since the other two movies arent ever goin to be made [07:03] And we are truely thankfull for that... [07:04] ;P [07:04] yeah [07:04] dr_willis: any relation to gary willis? [07:04] im5: thanks! [07:04] I'm having problems with webcams in general on my Intel Inspiron 640m laptop. Webcams work fine on my other laptop (gateway) but not with the intel laptop. What's up with that? [07:04] nsadmin, who? - willis - is my first name. :P [07:05] anyone know where to find good shell here? [07:05] <_Cid> bash? :) [07:05] gizmo, clarify that question a bit to the channel... [07:05] gizmo: the good shells are on the beach [07:05] nsadmin, lol [07:06] gizmo: koopas [07:06] dr_willis, just asking maybe in here also know about this [07:06] What filesystem does Ubuntu use? [07:06] krlhc8, you mean?\ [07:06] gizmo, im not sure anyone knows what you are really asking about... [07:06] whitedox: depends, usually ext3 by default [07:06] whitedox: a filesystem supported by thelinux kernel [07:06] gizmo: I was kidding. [07:07] whitedox ext 2 ext 3 reiserfs an dmore [07:07] dr_willis, like FloodBot1 its a bot that come from shell right? [07:07] I am using a default install of Hardy. Straight off the disc. [07:07] !ot | gizmo [07:07] gizmo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:07] gizmo, it could just be a program running on someones pc at home. :) [07:08] gizmo, take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [07:08] ok... [07:08] :) [07:09] So...If I installed Ubuntu Hardy fresh off the disc, then it is ext3? Or is there a way to check? [07:09] I'm having problems with webcams in general on my Intel Inspiron 640m laptop. Webcams work fine on my other laptop (gateway) but not with the intel laptop. What's up with that? [07:10] so anyone have any ideas for me? [07:10] whitedox: Yes, by default it's ext3. You can check by running "mount" and looking at the "type" of the partitions you care about. [07:10] whitedox: it's what's cool... it's what's powerful... it's your choice, and you get to make it when you install [07:11] poboy975linux: can't see your question... [07:11] nsadmin: The thing is, I don't remember what I chose. [07:11] whtiedox if it works you have no problem [07:11] hi, I lost my bottom panel which applications minimize to, how do i get it back? [07:11] poboy975linux: I don't have very many ideas... the last one I had involved chocolate ice cream, a thorn off a rose and about 10 truckloads of peeled garlic [07:12] ok I have two devices that show when I run this command ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -al....sdb1 and sdb2....they should be two extra hard drives, that are installed but gparted isnt seeing them [07:12] whitedox: so you have an existing installation? [07:12] garett right click on another panel and click on add panel [07:12] garrett: right-click a remaining panel, click "New Panel", configure the new panel. [07:13] nsadmin: yes [07:13] hi all :) [07:13] whitedox ok are you running it now? [07:13] nsadmin: yes [07:13] ok, as root, type mount [07:13] ok [07:13] it should tell you what you have mounted [07:13] can i install apache web server from ubuntu dvd? [07:14] and if it says angelina jolie, I'm jealous! [07:14] /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro). So ext3? [07:14] Kruxer: yes [07:14] sda1 is, yes [07:14] is there any implementation of the sudden motion sensor in Macs for hard drive protection in Ubuntu? [07:15] flajann, does it have all the dependencies? [07:15] poboy975linux: not sure. nobody seems to be answering my questions right now either. i'd just try back later. [07:15] Flannel, ^^ [07:15] <_Cid> ubuntu_: humm..if there is, I would think it would be part of the mactel project, might want to check that [07:15] :) [07:15] nsadmin, well this PC only has 1 harddrive. lol. [07:15] Kruxer: yes [07:15] whitedox: oh, ok... [07:15] humm.... [07:15] ubuntu_: There are things like it, I don't know if the mac hardware is supported though. [07:15] thanx :) [07:16] what package would "xine" be under? [07:16] nsadmin, Is it possible other things could be listed there as well? I mean, there is other stuff there, but they all had things listed that are not even filesystems... [07:17] is there a way to make usb storage devices automatically mount, instead of having to use the launcher to open them in dolphin? [07:17] I hate when file manager windows auto popup when ya plug in a device. :) [07:17] <_Cid> Flannel: most of it is, I run a ubuntu-server on a mini mac, plain out rocks :-) [07:18] okay guys, I loaded the new panel but I cant figure out how to configure it to have programs minimize to it. how do i do it [07:18] garrett_ use add to panel [07:18] or sth like it [07:19] dr_willis: ditto [07:19] whitedox: since you don't have any other mounts, it's not... but if you did, it would show them [07:19] can i have my window xp after i install ubuntu?? [07:19] i mean 2 os in one time [07:19] Where is temp files of opera store? [07:19] dr_willis: im getting less and less happy with kubuntu as time goes on, due in no small part to the crappification of kde [07:20] can i have my window xp after i install ubuntu?? [07:20] Where is buffer files store by opera? [07:20] gizmo: yes... you just might have to reinstall grub. [07:21] gizmo: see !grub [07:21] gizmo: try virtualbox ose [07:21] !grub [07:21] 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 [07:21] poboy975linux, what the command? [07:21] virtualbox ftw [07:21] running belenix on it as we speak [07:21] ;) [07:22] i dont really understand.. [07:22] intsall grub in terminal? [07:22] use add/remove to install virtualbox [07:22] gizmo: read that first link... it has the info [07:23] Hello, I instslled ubuntu using Wubi on one of my partitions and was wondering how to conver to to full ubuntu [07:23] full? [07:24] is their a way i can upgrade from 5.10 to 8.* ?? [07:24] I am listening song online from browser opera. Can anyone tell me where those files are store locally? [07:24] you should probably upgrade one step at a time [07:24] nsadmin: what you mean? [07:24] up[grade one step at a time?? [07:24] could you please elaborate that for me? [07:24] onefiftyone_rum, you'd be far better off doing a reinstall; much less chance of breakage, much less downloading vs. going through every release [07:24] hmm [07:25] well every time i try installing 8.10 it doesnt load up [07:25] onefiftyone_rum: you'd upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06, then from 6.06 to 8.04 === damo is now known as Blackedge [07:25] it just sits their with a blank screen [07:25] and i just now got 5.10 to use my screen properly [07:25] onefiftyone_rum, you'd have to go to 6.06 -> 8.04->8.10 [07:25] :( [07:25] hmm [07:25] i see [07:25] nsadmin: what would happen if i partitioned the partition with windows on it [07:25] well how about just going from 5.10 to 6.06? [07:25] onefiftyone_rum: 6.06 to 8.04 will go off without a hitch, 5.10 to 6.06 may require some light massaging. [07:26] shit === damo is now known as blackegde [07:26] well, prolly not worth it then [07:26] onefiftyone_rum: Its not the end of the world, its actually relatively easy. And please, watch your language. [07:26] my apologies [07:26] thnx for the help fellas [07:26] onefiftyone_rum why dont you just reinstall with new version [07:26] hi! does propietary ati drivers work with HD3850 ? [07:26] it wont [07:27] i have been trying to get an os to install on this p.o.s laptop for hours [07:27] onefiftyone_rum whst error u getting [07:27] or open-source [07:27] onefiftyone_rum: you might try installing the 6.x dpkg, libc and perl first [07:27] when i load my ubuntu i have several ubuntu``s to choice from. how do i delete my old ubuntus> [07:27] 5.10 was my only choice [07:27] :( [07:27] Reboot (to hard drive). Grub should be installed and both Ubuntu and Windows should have been automatically detected. <---what is this mean?i need to restart my laptop after doing grub? [07:27] any idea why? [07:27] onefiftyone_rum: To do it, your best bet is to go the manual route; you need to first upgrade to "uptodate" 5.10. You can get those repos by moving you stuff to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:27] the laptop isnt online [07:27] when i load my ubuntu i have several ubuntu``s to choice from. how do i delete my old ubuntus> [07:27] Reboot (to hard drive). Grub should be installed and both Ubuntu and Windows should have been automatically detected. <---what is this mean?i need to restart my laptop after doing grub? [07:27] onefiftyone_rum: download slax(not slakware) and try with that run off live cd [07:28] i was hoping i could download it all in an iso image [07:28] Is there a way to create a custom install for Ubuntu? i.e. specify a specific list of packages to be installed? Ideally I would run something that inventories the installed packages and creates some sort of Kick Start file for the installation - Any ideas? [07:28] and do it from the cd drive on the lappy [07:28] davit: i have tried many flavors but not slax yet [07:28] onefiftyone_rum: once you've done that (and rebooted to get the new kernel), make sure you have your appropriate metapackages: ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu, whatever), and a proper kernel metapackage (linux-image-686-smp would be one example) [07:28] davit: i might give it a try [07:28] anyone can help me on my quesrtion? [07:28] ty flannel [07:28] onefiftyone_rum: yah its small it works when i having trouble with ubuntu [07:29] onefiftyone_rum: slax.org if im not mistaken [07:29] when i load my ubuntu i have several ubuntu`s to choice from. how do i delete my old ubuntus? [07:30] onefiftyone_rum: Then once you've made sure you've got that, move your sources from breezy to dapper, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Once it's done, reboot, you're on dapper. You can then use the instructions on the page ubottu is going to give you to go from 6.06 to 8.04 (and I suggest sticking with 8.04, LTS releases seem like they agree with your schedule) [07:30] !upgrade | onefiftyone_rum [07:30] onefiftyone_rum: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:31] Ok lol back to what I was asking if i delete my windows partition while using wubi what effect will it have [07:31] davit you will have some more space:) [07:32] davit sorry for my english [07:32] duhen: will it delete off my boot manager? [07:33] why oh why are the ubuntu forums not working? oh well mabye i should get some sleep and try it again tomorrow Thanks for helping everyone [07:33] duhen: im afraid to do it because my drive sizes are showing up incorrectly in ubuntu and i dont want to mess up more [07:33] Forums down again [07:33] ._. [07:34] davit only one drive works incorrect? [07:35] duhen: all of them are a bit off on size [07:35] Hey guys. I have a ghostscript question. :3 Anyone want to help? I'm getting an error that it can't open the initial device (pdfwrite). I checked permissions and tmp space already. [07:36] davit oh, if you have boot files on it drive you'll lose it [07:37] davit oh, if you have boot files on that drive you'll lose it [07:37] sorry [07:37] matt0: #ubuntuforums for forum stuffs [07:37] O I c. [07:38] duhen: I installed ubuntu through wubi because i dont have a cd drive or large enough usb but did it on a partition other then the windows one I dont know how wubi handles booting [07:42] davit ubuntu works with fat fat16 and fat32 portition ntfs(maybe) but you should install it with linux portition [07:43] davit if you used default confing [07:43] it has linux portition [07:43] the partition i used was a fat32 i believe [07:44] <_bugz_> is there a wxPython package for ubuntu? [07:44] ok ima just take a gamble a partition windows partiion how do i use gparted? [07:44] davit switch to win and look for it [07:45] davit gparted has a wizard [07:46] davit use it [07:46] is it normal for rndc-confgen -a -b 256 to take a looooong time? [07:46] its easy [07:46] Hi. In Ibex, Rhythmbox won't play anything. mp3s emit a series of cracking noises, while ogg&wav don't even start playing. Madplay works fine, and I think it was some update that broke Rhythmbox. Ideas? [07:46] Totem is broken also so I guess it's a gstreamer thing [07:47] remove it and use madplay:) [07:47] iraim - have you installed mp3 libraries? [07:47] ubuntu doesn't come with MP3 capability [07:47] duhen: ok i opened gparted theres 3 partitions 1 windows fat32 1 linux extended 1 recovery i wanna destroy windows lol [07:48] Yes I have coj ;) I was nicely prompted and accepted, and all worked fine, until an update I believe [07:48] oh [07:48] davit yeah f*ck you Bill GAtes [07:48] :) [07:48] i was recommended to get Amarok straightaway and not bother with rhythmbox so that's what i did [07:48] :) lol [07:49] davit i like you and i know your problem with win [07:49] i hat eit [07:49] Well I've been an Amarok and KDE for years now, thought I'd try something different now ;) I'll look it up in launchpad [07:49] i hate it :) [07:49] duhen: yah its annoying especially on a netbook [07:49] I've been a fan, that is [07:50] choose win part which you want to remove [07:50] duhen: when i right click on windows partition i only have option to unmoiunt [07:50] do you have win disc? [07:51] when i click on my windows partition it says i dont have permission to view it [07:51] how do i unblock my network [07:51] any idea why? [07:51] duhen: nope I dont even have a cd drive [07:51] Hmm actually I lied - oggs also "play", with a cracking noise [07:51] davit oh [07:51] :) === Smirnoff_ is now known as Smirnoff [07:52] duhen: lol yah thaty why im having trouble or else i would just use ubuntu cd [07:53] I have installed sahana-0.6.2.2-RC2.deb on ubuntu 8.10. It is not showing up in http://127.0.0.1/sahana??? [07:53] how do i format in terminal [07:53] good morning [07:53] it s a good idea [07:53] digifor, you probably have to run it somehow -- like /etc/init.d/sahanad start [07:53] i set it up my network so surrounding neighbors can't use my internet and i want to undo it [07:54] wait a minute [07:54] Iraimbilanja, I'll give that a shot thanks [07:55] davit see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/8521 === d is now known as Guest38480 [07:55] Hi anyone know anything about yaboot and PowerPC G3 Imacs? Everytime i boot, i have to put "video=ofonly nosplash" or it freezes, fine ill deal. but how to i set that to put that in automatic [07:56] WTF! Youtube _also_ only plays this cracking noise [07:56] That wasn't it. Sahana's detructions are geared towards compiling: http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=doc:installunix:english [07:57] Heh, detructions [07:57] hi everyone [07:58] oh, and a happy new year to you all [07:58] destructions I mean! [instructions] === SPFhome is now known as SPF [07:58] I'm running intrepid ibix, and I was wondering which video program, like windows Real player can I use to download .flv videos, that is flash videos like You Tube? [07:58] duhen: turns out i had to unmount partiton before formation [07:59] redheat, look it up on gnome-apps.org, pretty sure there is something [07:59] hey everyone [07:59] ok thank you so much [07:59] i dont understand about the grub. [07:59] can anyone help me on this..or should i install virtualbox [08:00] duhen: ok done what kind of partion format should I makew it? [08:00] I'm having some problems with ubuntu's installation, probably caused by my vga [08:00] anyone can help me? [08:00] for ubuntu you may choose ext2 ext 3 [08:00] or maybe reiserfs [08:00] how do I change the amount of video ram being used by an integrated graphics card [08:01] i recommend ext3 partitoni [08:01] duhen: reiserfs is incredibly fragile [08:01] duhen: it only lets me use as primary partition is that ok [08:02] when I try to install, after the loading (orange bar) there was a black screen with the white cursor totally freezed/distorted [08:02] i hope future linux filesystems create additional date fields as metadata :( there's no "Date Created" in linux [08:02] its ok [08:02] hey can i get linux on a floppy just to boot up and mount my hd and make a few changes? [08:02] my vga is VIA Chrome S# [08:02] S3 [08:02] you may redo it later [08:03] caiotormin, drop into a console and look at /var/log/messages/X* [08:03] Are ubuntuforums down ? [08:03] yes Dimitree [08:03] can anyone help me on this..or should i install virtualbox [08:03] ty savvas [08:03] Iraimbilanja, even my ubuntu has not been installed? [08:04] Yeah, still it's one way to go about diagnosing the problem. [08:04] can anyone help me on this..or should i install virtualbox [08:04] duhen: ok done :) now lemme try to reboot lol [08:04] if all goes well ill be back [08:04] right.. sorry but i'm very noob on it.. how can I access the console Iraimbilanja? [08:05] caiotormin, try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the distorted screen. It kills X so you get the console, hopefully. [08:05] where do i put the codec files for mplayer @ on ubuntu 5.10??? [08:05] coj: isn't modified time the same as created time? [08:07] Iraimbilanja, I've seen this tip before, but when the screen is distorted, any command works :/ [08:07] can I try this before? [08:07] can sbdy tell me why I cant find flashplugin-unfree since yesterday...??? [08:07] for intrepid [08:07] caiotormin, you mean NO command works? [08:08] I thought it was in universe...?? [08:08] ah ha - part of restricted metapackage or...? [08:08] yes.. [08:08] btw sorry for my bad english [08:08] I'm running hardy on LVM, on Linux Software RAID. What'd the best way to make a backup which I'd be able to restore later on dissimilar storage (or the same)? [08:09] frybye: flashplugin-nonfree [08:09] not unfree [08:09] caiotormin, Then reboot, and at the first Ubuntu menu, look at the options. I believe there may be stuff like "safe mode", or "select videomode" (somewhere at the bottom). For the latter, try a few different videomodes [08:10] sometimes as I try with 'noapci nolapic', it shows a colored screen, changing the collors [08:10] savvas: nope, not under windows anyway [08:10] tottaly distorted [08:10] caiotormin, Also just in case, from the same menu, run "check cd integrity" AND "memory test" [08:10] is there any way I can pump the amount of volume available from pulseaudio? It's a bit quiet on this Intel Imac. [08:10] it's convenient to have at least two date fields so you know when a file was first created and when it was copied [08:10] hmm [08:10] and/or when it was modified [08:10] i just installed ubuntu 5.10 [08:10] and i dont have permissions to do anything [08:10] how do i get permission? [08:10] onefiftyone_rum: You need to use sudo [08:11] for everything? [08:11] DefamedPrawn, in your volumecontrol/mixer, there's a crapload of interrelated channels you can adjust, not just one. Try and crank them all up [08:11] i cant copy files on the graphical interface?! [08:11] hey back [08:11] is it ok? [08:11] not totally [08:11] onefiftyone_rum: If you're just starting out, I strongly suggest you upgrade to a newer version. 8.04 is ... a long way from even 6.06 (which was a large improvement over 5.10) [08:11] coj: windows is windows.. linux is linux :) the last time it was modified gives you the last time a file was created/changed [08:11] Iraimbilanja, I tried this, memory and CD was OK.. so, do you know some cheatcode to put on boot line? I tried also xforcevesa [08:12] onefiftyone_rum, why the hell 5.10? this was 3 years ago [08:12] what problem [08:12] onefiftyone_rum: As a regular user you can't do any system level tasks, no. That's a security feature. [08:12] hey, can someone help me locate mysecond HD, I want to make it a perm storage drive [08:12] Iraimbilanja already looked. Only ones that seem to have any effect are Master, PCM, and Front. Is there no conf file anywhere I can just edit to make it louder? [08:12] 5.10 is the only one that will run on my laptop [08:12] Iraimbilanja: That tone isn't really necessary. [08:12] :( [08:12] 8.10 stalls all day during install [08:12] duhen: nothing lol nothing happened [08:12] any helper here??? [08:12] onefiftyone_rum: have you tried xubuntu?

[08:20] lol @ thenoob [08:20] everyone, My internet is shot and takes forever to load [08:20] Baz_: The theory behind commenting on it is so that you won't do it in the future. If you'd like to actually have this discussion, I welcome you to come have it in #ubuntu-ops [08:21] I shot the internet... but I did not shoot the arpanet [08:21] nsadmin, are you asking me about fdisk? [08:21] hdmount: Is this other harddrive already partitioned, etc? You just need to mount it? [08:22] Good Evening all :) [08:22] fdisk is a partition editor... very primitive, but it does the job [08:22] Flannel, it is installed, and was when I installed ubuntustudio; however, I do not know where it is on the computer [08:22] Son_of_Demetrius good morning :) [08:22] lol [08:22] hdmount: you mean in your filesystem? or the actual device location? [08:22] nsadmin, oh, see I know very little about computers, i do the best I can [08:23] I have a codecs issue if you guyz have a moment [08:23] Flannel, I mean it is physically in hthe computer, but thats all I know === benjamin_ is now known as Benjamin_FOX [08:23] HELLO?'

If you want to add it so it gets mounted permanently somewhere, you'll need to edit your fstab, this page walks you through doing that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab Feel free to ask about any questions [08:26] does samba work well for linux to linux sharing? or will I need to use NFS?

[08:31] hdmount: Yes, I believe if your mount point is in /media/ it will show up in places. But if that doesn't work, yes, I'm sure theres some other way to do it (I just don't know what that may be) [08:31] <_Cid> !tar [08:31] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [08:32] ilian: like zip or ar them?

[08:35] hi all [08:35] ilian: oh, you are more woried about the size rather than them being one file - you need to actually shrink the size of the photographs in a program like gimp [08:35] anyone knows if the unstripped ffmpeg in 8.10 is good? [08:35] bye :) [08:35] or should i force the medibuntu version? [08:35] I have a music dvd..It loads on Ubunt with MPlayer..no sound tho? [08:35] What can I do for this error? You don't have permission to access /sahana on this server.? [08:35] nsadmin: you can't [08:35] Polysics, i think the medibuntu version has some extra features [08:36] apache [08:36] really, is it easy to explain how to do that? [08:36] bye [08:36] Son_of_Demetrius: applications > accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:37] a music DVD? [08:37] Son_of_Demetrius: then if it asks, type in your password and press Enter [08:38] I am trying to get a shared directory on another linux box to mount on my linux laptop at boot by using fstab. I am trying to do a simple share with no security or passwords since its on my home network only...anyone know how to set up in fstab to properly mount? [08:38] if I type 'firefox FILENAME' in the terminal, shoudl the file open in firefox? [08:38] haloo [08:38] because it doesn't seem to work [08:39] Ubuntu tells me I'm missing codecs...thx guys...but I really sound ridiculous here...I am not online in order to 'fetch' the addy....I'm looking for some external mode of downloading within a Windows OS at the moment...burn the file...and install it on to my other Ubuntu PC...stoopid or what? [08:39] how are you [08:39] Please, Does anyone know if I can put a hard drive from another machine into mine as a slave and reformat it to use for extra storage? And this hard drive may have virus/spyware stuff on it.. Would that mess up my other hard drive or OS ? I think I can use a partition manager to reformat? Thank you! [08:39] Barnose: sure, why not? [08:39] Barnose: Stick it in, fire up gparted and format it. It'll be safe then. [08:41] Flannel, What is gparted? [08:41] a partition manager [08:41] Barnose: It's a partition editor. It may be listed in your menus as "Gnome Partition Editor" [08:41] a very nice one imo [08:42] Flannel, Oh I'm sorry .. i will be using windows xp to do this... shouldn't matter, should it? I will be using partition manager 3.0 ultimate or something.... [08:42] Barnose: what Flannel means is: burn an ubuntu desktop live cd, boot using that cd, go to System > Administration > Partition editor to do your work [08:43] guys, i've been having sleepless nights with these hash sum mismatch whenever i run apt-get update... how do i fix this? i've been searching google but can't find the solution :( please help [08:43] Barnose: erm... sure... you can use a liveCD, or... some windows partition editor. You realise this is #ubuntu though, right? [08:43] how do i re-install or reconfigure my apt-get and keys [08:43] ? [08:43] hey I am using gparted to partition my second (empty hd) what parameters should I give it, I want it to be a permanent media drive that I can share over the network my movies and music and pictures [08:43] gharz your mirror may be corrupt, try the official ones [08:44] I need to determine free space preceeding, new size, file system [08:45] so since the drive is empty, would I change free space preceeding from 0 to full? [08:45] so confused [08:45] Flannel, yes, im sorry this is the only place i know to go to get anwsers... I have ubuntu but only as a application... Do you know if it's possible to format a hard drive with stuff on it inside the OS? I mean like from my desktop.. I don't wanna install the hard drive and have it completly destory my stuff.. I have 160gb drive now full [08:45] dns53: i didn't change anything since it has been installed... how do i fix the keys? [08:45] df gives disk free in the partition [08:46] dns53: i remember last time there's a site in ubuntu wherein i can generate my sources.list and instructions on how to get the gpg keys [08:46] gharz reinstall the package ubuntu-keyring [08:46] Barnose: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place to ask stuff like this in the future. But, just install the hard drive (power is off), then fire up the liveCD first, clear it, then reboot off the windows harddrive. [08:47] gharz i think the gui system > administration > software sources should allow you to reset to the original ones [08:47] dns53: i ran dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-keyring and the message was "Automatic..." not changed [08:48] dns53: and by 99% i'm getting a message saying bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing ... blah blah [08:48] gharz run apt-get --reinstall install, change your apt sources [08:48] dns53: ok i'll try that [08:48] i keep getting a message saying disk full but when I do df only dev/sda is 100% usage [08:48] Flannel, kk thanks.. just to be clear.. cause i am dumb... I put in the hard drive with my other one? or by it'sself.. and you mean my windows xp disk to format the drive.... ?? Can I format without putting an OS on it? Thanks for your help [08:48] I don't know what I can dete === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:50] !paste > franklin_ [08:50] franklin_, please see my private message [08:51] !virtualbox > franklin_ [08:51] anyone available?

You're making sdb1, and it'll be primary as well. [08:56] wuz7362, arent there programs that trick it into thinking its a CD? [08:57] Flannel, thanks for spending some time helping me [08:57] diskmount: No problem.

You may consider signing off for the night and doing something else. [09:03] Flannel, the latter, editing and sharing stuff by uploading [09:03] Dexi, i just did compiz --replace, something is wrong -.- [09:03] Flannel no shoutcast servers or live streams [09:03] FuLio, sorry i dont know [09:04] diskmount: alright, you don't really need the -rt kernel. I'd suggest removing linux-rt and installing linux-generic [09:04] Flannel, thanks [09:04] Flannel is there a way to do that without destroying everything I have done so far [09:04] !macro [09:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about macro [09:04] dang [09:04] Let me try and simplify things for myself..how do I inpack a .deb file in Ubuntu 8.10...does it contain a native program to do that?...I installed it very recently...do I need to load the live CD again to open these blank icon files that have a .deb extension? [09:04] Flannel, is it as simple as dl the reg kernel with synaptic [09:04] !refresh rate [09:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about refresh rate [09:04] aww [09:04] diskmount: Oh, it won't destroy anything. Just open up synaptic, remove the linux-image package, and install the linux-generic package. [09:04] ubottu, youre no help! [09:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about youre no help! [09:05] lmfao [09:05] diskmount: Mmmm, let me... double check the package names. Do install linux-generic though. It's just that you may need to remove some more -rt packages. [09:05] !fishing | Dexi [09:05] Dexi: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [09:05] Flannel, I need to backtrack a second, I did the gparted thing, but I never was prompted to pick an instal point and I do not see a mount prompt [09:06] Flannel, thanks [09:06] diskmount: right. Your drive is now partitioned, and just sitting there. You'll manually edit your fstab to add it to your filesystem. [09:07] diskmount: the packages to remove: linux-rt, linux-image-rt, linux-restricted-modules-rt. Don't remove anything that looks like that but has numbers in it (like linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt) [09:07] Anyone have any idea why Cairo-Dock won;t update? [09:07] dns53: how do i get a key from ubuntu? i've restored my sources.list back up and i'm getting this error now... => W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 [09:08] Flannel can I remove those before I instal a new kernell? [09:08] I've got an update reminder in taskbar and it keeps saying update availiable. [09:08] diskmount: You can do them both at the same time, actually. Those are just metapackages, they won't actually touch the installed kernels. [09:09] gharz well the way i know is install ubuntu-keyring, there are probably better ways of verifying it, that is a warning not an error [09:10] Can somone help me with compiz? The settings don't do anything. [09:10] Change [09:10] huh? [09:10] Have you turned on 3d capabilities? [09:11] gharz the apt-key util handles this, apt-key netupdate, though i have never done this [09:11] micro01: PING [09:11] dns53: ok thanks so much... [09:11] problem, ummm? [09:11] everyone, no but i do have a graphics card driver that works [09:11] where in the file system is my webcam located? [09:12] so Flannel, what do I want to replace those with [09:12] diskmount: Hmm? Oh, install linux-generic [09:12] eweb100 - Go System>Preferences>Appearance [09:12] ive never messed with that stuff look pretty cool though [09:12] dns53: apt-key net-update didn't work :( [09:12] Then go to Visual Effects [09:12] sigh [09:13] gharz should i export mine and send it to you? [09:13] ok Flannel, with it it is going to instal some kernels with numbers after them, will they cancel out the rt ones with numbers after them that are not marked for uninstal? [09:13] whats the chmod command to make something executable [09:13] diskmount: Right. Those packages are the actual kernels for -generic. No, they won't touch the other packages. [09:13] Dexi: chmod +x foo [09:14] gharz what does apt-key list show? [09:14] foo=file im assuming [09:14] so I will just have 2 diff sets of kernels Flannel? [09:14] diskmount: Indeed. Two different types of kernels. [09:15] Flannel, where will I be able to decide which one to use? [09:15] diskmount: Although, since we removed the -rt metapackages, you won't get updates for -rt anymore, just -generic. And once you've rebooted to -generic you can remove the -rt kernels if you want. [09:15] that's funny. Every time I try and launch gnusound, x restarts. [09:15] diskmount: When you boot at your GRUB menu you choose (just like between version number differences currently) [09:16] . [09:16] Flannel, cool, it is prompting me to restart, but before I do, do you think you could walk me through the terminal (scary) so that I can have my newly partitioned sdb mounted? [09:17] whats the easiest way to caputure a picture with my webcam in ubuntu? [09:17] cheese [09:17] in windows i can do it with explorer [09:17] Flannel, ugh, i cant get this... i have a bunch of .dat files and a file with no extension, idk how to make it run [09:17] diskmount: You can actually restart whenever you'd like. But the new kernel wont come into effect until then. You'll be editing fstab, it's not *that* scary. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab has a good deal of information on the subject. [09:18] Dexi: Remember for stuff in the current directory, you need to expliticly state a relative (or full, I suppose) path: ./filename [09:18] sony_boy: speaking about webcam.. my laptop has inbuilt webcam and i haven't used it since i used ubuntu.. what software are you using to use it? can u use with with yahoo chat? [09:18] dns53: i think it's working now. [09:18] I didnt like the name "admin" so I've tried to change it to "herra" with sudo usermod -l herra admin the account seems to work but the folder in /home hasn't chnaged there is still one folder called admin. DO I need to a)Rename this folder, b) add another folder called herra, c) nothing d) go to bed ? [09:19] hey i am running Ibex on Eee 1000HD and I am having problems with firefox, When I try to add an addon I get a little tiny icon in the middle of the screen that freezes the rest of firefox and when I left click and maximize it /is a blank forefox window. also the same thing happens when i try to use the keyword search. anyone got any ideaas [09:19] don't know how... but the last command that i ran was apt-key update... delect all the keys in my software sources [09:19] Flannel, i was in /home/dexi and did chmod +x file [09:19] herra: You don't have to do anything. You *can* make it so the home folder matches your username though if you'd like. [09:19] then I do ./File? [09:19] Dexi: yes. [09:19] gharz, i use amsn client, dont know about a yahoo linux client but forget pidgin it doesnt support webcam [09:19] Flannel, nothing happened [09:19] hi i need help, im trying to get into Synaptic package manger and i got an error saying 'dpkg --configure-a' how can i fix that problem? [09:19] Dexi: Did you get an error? [09:19] Flannel, no output [09:19] Dexi: Then the file ran. [09:19] sony_boy: thanks for the info! i'll try that. [09:20] FuLio open a terminal and run sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:20] Flannel, actually i got one this time :p [09:21] JohnathanLaws, ive seen a similer thing also.. but my FF dident freeze. its a small firefox window thats blank and resized to be real real tiny. I cant really get it to repeate. it just seems to do it on sokje sites. that sort of tells me its my adblocker blocking a popup or similer [09:21] Flannel, ./upl: symbol lookup error: ./upl: undefined symbol: __glutRoot [09:21] Flannel, so if I do mkdir /media/home how will it know to mount sdb there, or am I replacing media with sdb? [09:21] when I try to rename the folder "admin" to "herra" I get the error: Bareword "admin" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. [09:21] lo! how does one add multiple dns suffixes in ubuntu? i have tried with networkmanager/dhclient.conf, but the domains always end up on one single line (e.g. "search foo.bar bar.baz") which sadly does not work (splitting them manually to 2 and it does!) [09:21] Dexi: Those are errors inside the script. You'll... have to consult whomever wrote the script [09:21] Flannel, dangit [09:21] :( [09:21] FuLio, its proberly sayind dpkg --configure -a with a space.. or somthing similer.. you need to proberly run the command it suggests with 'sudo Whatever-it-suggestes' [09:22] alright thanky you [09:22] =p [09:22] hello all. after booting with my new kernel, I get fuss over not having map, and boot not being able to find certain files [09:22] Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but does anyone know when the ubuntuforums will be comming back up? I am having a hard time with my wireless card [09:22] is there something one should ALWAYS do after doing make install; make modules_install? [09:23] diskmount: each line in fstab consists of a few things: device (thats the drive), mount point (thats where it lives in the filesystem, where to put it), and then some bookkeeping stuff. so you'll edit it and tell it to mount that partition at /media/home (although, personally, I'd call it storage or something, calling it 'home' may cause confusion) [09:23] Kazurik: try #ubuntuforums [09:23] ah ha, thanks [09:24] ha! I have absolutely no idea but my problem fixed itself after a reboot, so cheers [09:24] anyone go a clue bout my rename problem? [09:24] herra: What command are you using? [09:25] when I try to rename the folder "admin" to "herra" I get the error: Bareword "admin" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. [09:25] I would like to install ubuntu on my 486 but I cannot find the "mouse click button" [09:25] what is with the forums. [09:25] Kazurik: #ubuntuforums [09:25] herra: What *command* are you using? [09:25] herra that from a script? [09:25] er, king, #ubuntuforums [09:25] Flannel, Try opening. [09:26] sorry, rename admin herra [09:26] king: Right. #ubuntuforums is the place to go to ask [09:26] herra: you're going from herra to admin or the other way around? use mv instead. [09:26] herra: mv admin herra [09:26] montgomery_x: The minimum system requirements for Ubuntu include "300 MHz x86 processor". The 486 can only get up to 100MHz. Even if you do find this mythical button, you'll be unable to install Ubuntu :( [09:26] herra there is no rename command, instead you move it to a different name [09:26] ok thanks [09:27] how to resume downloads of firefox from terminal [09:27] montgomery_x: That said, is there a genuine support question we can help you with today? [09:27] well Ive got a perl rename script on here [09:27] but doesnt seem to do owt [09:27] herra: And then you'll need to use usermod -d to move where the world thinks your homedir is, too. [09:27] herra: right, rename uses a regular expression to rename. [09:27] don't undertsand that one flannnel? [09:28] usermod -d ? [09:28] Flannel, it says the mount poiint is already there in my /media/home [09:28] herra: Don't worry about it. Just use mv. Oh, yes. usermod -d /home/herra herra [09:28] drtroll: you need to edit /etc/resolv as sudo, you can put your search domains there. [09:28] herra: That tells the system to look for herras homedir in /home/herra, instead of /home/admin [09:28] ah yeah cheers [09:28] diskmount: Um... what does? === dungnt is now known as vnese [09:29] the terminal [09:29] I am trying to get external mic jack on Dell 1525 working. I am following http://www.practicalweb.co.uk/blog/08/06/24/configuring-audio-skype-dell-inspiron-1525-ubuntu-8 and http://www.linux-archive.org/kubuntu-user/225109-mic-issues-dell-inspiron-1525-a.html. But it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know why I wouldnt be able to use my WN311T in ubuntu? I have used the ndisgtk thing and it says the driver is installed and present but iwconfig does not show any wireless device [09:30] Flannel, I did sudo mkdir /media/home [09:30] diskmount: ok, now you edit your fstab like it says on that webpage. [09:31] diskmount: actually, you'll also need the UUID of that drive, so: sudo blkid [09:31] Flannel [09:31] when i poull donwe menu, places, home it still looks for admin.. should I log out and back?ç [09:31] herra: Yes, you'll need to.

Mostly just copy/paste. [09:35] Flannel, afyer loging back in I get the error message : The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration? .. what do you suggest? === Bowo_27 is now known as cwek_imoet [09:36] when I connect to my router at home and later try to switch to a new router at a coffee shop or relatives house the wifi login icon in the top right corner disappears until I reboot.

[09:36] daredevilthere: try: sudo chmod -R +r /tmp/mnt [09:36] Hello does anyone have a moment to assist me? [09:36] !ask [09:36] 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. :-) [09:36] I don't have a moment, but I do have a minute [09:37] When I try to open vlc it says this, what does it mean? vlc: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:33: _XCBUnlockDisplay: Assertion `xcb_get_request_sent(dpy->xcb->connection) == dpy->request' failed.

[09:44] My desktop seems to be caught ina loop.. constanatly saying it reuires a restart for security upgrades.. any ideas? [09:44] dns53: it is not j2ee app.is it possible to configure like 2pcs 2ghz PCs to 4ghz PC? [09:45] JHook101, however just ask people about videogames & WINE [09:45] O I am looking for a channel that supports video game use on ubuntu unless someone can tell me if I can play world of warcraft or steam counter strike [09:45] JHook101 you may want to look into a program called WINE. I know it will let you play World of Warcraft in linux [09:45] gh0st: Have you tried using the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive , instead of building it? [09:45] ok cool [09:45] JHook101, I already told you yes you can play WoW [09:45] i mostly wanna know for steam games [09:45] JHook101: using wine to play windows games [09:45] :p i am trying to quit wow :p [09:46] JHook101: you can google for it [09:46] Tulga not sure about os clustering, i have not heard about it, you could probably have 1 server at a time working and automatic switchover with it runnng on xen or something [09:46] JHook101, do you means treaming games liek flash?

I just upgraded the packages "libssl0.9.8" and "openssl". Why does usn say "After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes"? Is this really necessary? [09:47] gh0st: no problem. FYI, apt-get will warn you about unauthenticated packages when you use PPAs; read the warning then decide whether or not you trust what is, essentially, packages made by some random person :) [09:47] JHook101, that is why I mentioned stupid questions as a tease, because you was asking about something that is already on you system :p [09:48] o lol [09:48] what is the most standards compatible web browser for linux (with xhtml support) preferably a GUI and CLI [09:48] well is there a way to read ms office extensions then? === scientes_ is now known as scientes [09:48] JHook101: you should use open office, then export to pdf for windows [09:48] JHook101 openoffice.org version 3 (not in the latest release) can open it, you need to track down this version as it was relesed too late to make it in the release [09:48] JHook101, Yes open office can read MS Office files, just not Office 2007 files. [09:48] Well wait that is wrong [09:49] rebel_kid: opera and firefox probably [09:49] it can read 2007 files, it just cannot write them [09:49] hmmm [09:49] savvas, im looking to get away from the fox, it swayed far from standards on
[09:49] rww: i understand, thanks many my friend, btw quick n00b question, this reply i sent you, is it all red and stuff like how you sent me? [09:49] But it can read & write all previous MS files. [09:49] gh0st: yes :) [09:49] like 2005? [09:49] Flannel, can I show you what I have come up with so far? [09:49] Yes [09:50] rebel_kid: well you can use opera: www.opera.com/download [09:50] anyone have any good ideas for grabbing flv streaming video? [09:50] rww: excellent, unfortunatley the PPA failed [09:50] lol what is funny is I am majoring in computer forensics but just now started using linux lmao [09:50] diskmount: Sure. [09:50] Open Office 3.0 can read MS Office 2007 files [09:50] k i will dl that then [09:50] savvas, ty [09:50] mrwes, yes but it cannot write them.

[09:54] the hardware driver menu shows the appropriate driver but wont install it [09:54] where is the terminal lol [09:54] how to manually install nvidia driver?

[09:57] Jhook, you dont actively use wine. Wine will allow you to double click .exe files though and it will run them as if you where in windows [09:58] Hey everyone. Using NetworkManager to VPN into a network, how do I get ubuntu to route *all* traffic thru the VPN? [09:58] diskmount: Um, line 7 of that paste... is there a "defaults" before ,errors=remount-ro? [09:58] Jhook, There is a nice howto on how to get steam working on the wineappdb (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554). After you do the sudo apt-get install wine you will be on step 2 [09:59] Flannel, it said realtime but I erased it [09:59] diskmount: but yeah, that looks good as long as there's a newline after the last line. (always make sure theres a trailing newline in everything) [09:59] rww: i win :) [09:59] Did anyone else got an update today 01/09/09 and it messed up your screen resolution and your Cf? [09:59] it was a conflict in left over packages [09:59] Jhook, all of those things in the offset boxes are command you run in the consle/terminal [09:59] diskmount: odd. Go ahead and add defaults there... [10:00] rww: gtk stuck around for some reason but everything else was removed so it messed up [10:00] Flannel, I put b ack realtime [10:00] Flannel that is how they have it on the page you linked me [10:00] gh0st: Ah, that'd explain it. So the PPA ended up working? [10:00] gh0st: or did you build it from source? [10:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Mount%20point [10:00] wow this is so awesome lol [10:01] diskmount: that should be relatime, not realtime. [10:01] diskmount: shrug. The lack of defaults is just odd. But if its working for you so far... by all means go with it. [10:01] hi, does anyone know if it's possible to type unicode symbols using preset names? For example alpha , should give the actual alpha symbol? Control-Shift-u almost works but it needs codes instead of names. if not.. where would you start looking for something like that also? [10:01] diskmount: it stands for RELative Access TIME [10:01] rww: the PPA worked, thanks for the advice, btw is there anywere i can read more about these "PPA's" or even just what they stand for or are used for? [10:01] Flannel, I havent typed anything in yet, this is all me in textedit [10:01] Flannel, I doubt any of this will work [10:02] diskmount: Erm... what is your current fstab? [10:02] diskmount: close without saving changes... then paste your fstab [10:02] gh0st: PPA stands for Personal Package Archive. They're basically little mini apt repositories that people use to upload unofficial packages they've built. [10:02] Flannel fstab = bad command [10:02] rww: sweet great idea [10:02] When I try to open vlc it says this, what does it mean? vlc: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:33: _XCBUnlockDisplay: Assertion `xcb_get_request_sent(dpy->xcb->connection) == dpy->request' failed. [10:02] diskmount: fstab is a file. /etc/fstab, you can display it with... cat /etc/fstab [10:03] gh0st: Looks like there's more information about it at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA?action=show&redirect=PPAQuickStart , though that may be a little technical. [10:03] diskmount: don't paste it here btw, use pastebin [10:04] Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu, and I installed it on a Vmware, but I can't figure out how to install the vmware tools, could anyone help me please?

Now, we'll want to add that line to the end, so, alt-f2, gksu gedit /etc/fstab, then paste that line at the end (on a new line), then hit enter again after it.

During the install process it tries to launch mpd and fails because it finds that it can't bind the port [10:10] Flannel, you I am jusat really tired I going a little crazy right now, I should temp ban myself from the room. [10:10] I've tried editing mpd.conf to different ports but it always fails in the same way [10:10] so the problem isn't that something is using the port [10:11] Flannel so confused because it is like 5 liknes, I never typed any stuff into termina for second hd, only in txt edit [10:11] diskmount: There's only one line dealing with the second partition.

That command, hit enter. That'll open a text editor. [10:17] i dont want anyone to read my messages [10:18] dns53 : Are you still around? [10:18] sh1: Yes it can, by default. You could look into OTR ( http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ) or a similar scheme if you want encrypted messages in Pidgin. [10:18] Flannel so when the fstab window opens, I just press enter and paste the uuid in? [10:18] sh1: both sides of the conversation would need to be using an OTR plugin for that to work, though.

[10:21] diskmount: It'll look like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103081/ [10:21] it has.pl extension [10:21] Flannel, I did, but the only thing is your line is shorter and where all the other lines end in 2 numbers, your 2 numbers end way before the other rows last columns [10:21] Dr_future cd to the dir and run ./app [10:21] diskmount: That merely has to do with spaces versus tabs. If you want you can space it out to match the others, but it's not important [10:22] dns53 : I extracted that folder on the desktop, its name is vmtools [10:22] Flannel now do I save?

Well, that *is* interesting. Ooooh. We just reformatted this disk, yes? It could be that the /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is only generated at boot.. even if that sounds sort of stupid. (Actually, there's probably some command we can do to make it re-generate, but I don't know it). [10:31] diskmount: Go ahead and reboot, we need to do it for your kernel anyway. Once you reboot, that drive should be there. If not, we can use the old-style of naming stuff for fstab. But it ought to work. [10:31] Flannel what ever you think, I have no clue what I am doing [10:31] Anyone have any idea why Cairo-dock won't update? I'm sick of this update icon in the taskbar.

But all databaes have root permissions, how can I change the owner to mysql? [10:32] rww: Because he has to reboot for a kernel update anyway, and there's no real reason to change it twice more. [10:33] It says E: /var/cache/apt/archives/cairo-dock_1.6.3.1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/cairo-dock/icon-mouse.png', which is also in package cairo-dock-data [10:33] Probelem: Do you have an unofficial cairo repository active? [10:34] I don't believe so, I downloaded cairo-dock from the ubuntu repos. [10:34] So as far as security goes would you say linux by far is way more encrypted then windows? [10:35] could someone help me troubleshoot getting my sound working? i've tried whats on the wiki with no luck [10:35] Hello channel, [10:35] hmmmm [10:35] how old is yoru computer [10:35] i'm sure it's a simple configuration thing, I installed xubuntu kind of backwards, just not knowledgable enough to troubleshoot it myself [10:36] and are you using on board sound or a sound card [10:36] mine? just put a new mobo in, asus p5q se plus, onboard sound [10:36] does anyone know what's up with the update servers (and the rest of the internet) right now? is it because of windows7 distribution? [10:36] it's VIA HD Audio if that helps [10:36] It says NOT AUTHENTICATED when i go to update it. [10:36] ok well i do not know much about linux yet but I would look into making sure there is no conflictions [10:37] Flannel, it showed up right by the dvd drive and cd drive [10:37] same thing happen to my video card it said it does not support it but gave me a option to enable it and download the proper drivers [10:37] like... irq conflicts? it works in windows [10:37] mountdisk: sounds good. [10:37] Flannel, but how the heck to I give it network sharing [10:37] Probelem: That would be a reasonably-good indicator that you're using non-Ubuntu repositories. Can you open your /etc/apt/sources.list file, copy it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give me a link to the pastebin page you create, please? [10:37] raevol, have you tried running alsamixer in the terminal? [10:37] mountdisk: Er..... What sort of network? [10:37] JHook101, that's the proprietary drivers, that's supposed to happen [10:37] Probelem, yes, there's only master and pcm listed, but both are max [10:37] mountdisk: with windows computers? or all OSX/linux? [10:37] Digital7: The update servers and general internet work fine for me :/ [10:38] can someone tell me how to set a default soundcard (i have 2 -> 1 onboard & 1 pci) [10:38] Flannel just my little home network so that way my laptop and wirelessly acess files from that drive and play movies or music off of it without having to download them [10:38] rww: i've been drawing 3 - 15kb/sec from nearly every server i've hit tonight [10:38] does anyone know any tweaks to speed up firefox and the desktop movement with this linux distro I have over 3gigs of ram and a decent processor [10:38] rww: excluding a few, which operate at full speed [10:38] Flannel just macbooks [10:38] !nfs | mountdisk [10:38] mountdisk: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:38] rww: perhaps it's regionally mediated [10:39] There's a problem in the Ubuntu package repository. The file texlive-base-bin_2007.dfsg.2-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (part of the installation of TeX) cannot be read beyond ~497 KB. I have tried several mirrors through synaptic, manual wget, and even Firefox (via packages.ubuntu.com). All give the same results, i.e., incomplete download sized ~497 KB. Firefox mentions that the file cannot be fetched further as the 'source cannot be read'. What should I do? [10:39] mountdisk: thats likely the easiest way. If you were doing it with windows stuff, you'd have to use samba (see !samba) [10:39] apollo_lie: fiddle with the settings in System > Preferences > Sound [10:39] !bug | new-user [10:39] new-user: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [10:39] Flannel, I see when I go to networks there is a windows icon [10:39] new-user: File a bug, it's likely a packaging error or something. [10:39] Probelem, aplay -l shows it correctly as well [10:39] Flannel, I was hoping I could just right click the drive and enable sharing [10:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/103090/ [10:40] Flannel guess things are not that simple [10:40] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103090/ [10:40] mountdisk: I have no idea how sharing works. You may be able to. [10:40] in pidgin how to use encryped messages [10:40] Probelem, the us.archive servers tend to be super slow, if you pick a fast one using the software-sources app, you'll probably get better speeds [10:40] raevol, I'm not sure on much past that, I have an nVidia on-board sound on my laptop and it's always pre-configured [10:40] @all: i have a m-audio audiophile 2496 card and get this error when testing: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [10:40] Flannel, thanks, its 340am and I need to get up early so I will call it a night [10:41] err, not Probelem, Digital7 rather [10:41] Probelem: The last line of that sources.list file is that unofficial cairo-dock repository I was talking about. Go ahead and remove that, do an apt-get update, and go from there. [10:41] any else have any ideas about my sound? shows correctly in aplay -l and is maxed in alsamixer, but still no sound [10:42] Hi everyone [10:42] How do I do that, it's telling me that I can't? [10:42] Hmm, after spending 2 hours on this wireless card I think I am just going to buy a new one that works out of the box in linux. [10:43] Are you sure this is a bug? I mean, can someone try to replicate this problem? A simple http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/t/texlive-bin/texlive-base-bin_2007.dfsg.2-3ubuntu1_i386.deb should clear up the mess (if some other user is able to download the entire 2.2 MB file). Anyone willing to try? [10:43] Can any one suggest me how can I change spell checking language in pidgin . [10:43] have someone experience with a m-audio audiophile 2496 soundcard? [10:43] new-user: give me a sec, I'll try downloading it [10:44] Kazurik, I had tons of trouble with my wireless card and ndiswrapper. It's a Broadcom wireless 1340 mini-PCI. Once I finally did get it working, It took a dump on me. [10:44] new-user: the whole 2.2MB just downloaded for me =/ [10:44] I haven't had the extra cash to order a card that works out of the box yet. [10:44] brb rebooting [10:45] Thanks rww. It is some config problem at my end then. Surprisingly, *all* other packages seem to download fine. [10:46] is there someone who have experience with soundcard configuration / installation?

[10:51] Jhook101, I know there is a performance monitor, I am in Kubuntu right now though so i can't look for it [10:51] ok [10:51] Not sure what they Key-binding is for it, though. [10:51] Still no luck with downloading. This is definitely *not* a config problem at my end. Even a direct download from Firefox fails at 492 KB using the same kernel.org mirror link I posted earlier. Any further ideas?

[10:58] To be incurably honest, yes it is knackered. [10:58] Another stonewall. I simply can't download the texlive-base-bin package. Maybe I should file a bug-report. However, I'm surprised as to how rww managed to download the whole stuff. [10:58] bl4ck - really? [10:58] new-user: Would you like me to upload the package somewhere for you?

[11:00] sorry. didn't realise i was being indecent. all i'm looking for is someone with some knowlege who can help me. [11:00] KenBW2: there's also GIMP if you like to get ascii art [11:00] Tm_T: no, i mean if an image has text in it [11:00] diskproblems, these type of problems tend to be poetically predatory. [11:00] KenBW2: then see above [11:00] Hi .. we've been trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 for a long time. We got an error about running a prerelease .. in a desperate try, I enabled prerelease sources, but that didn't help. How do I upgrade now? Do I have to do it manually on the command line? [11:00] i don't understand. [11:00] diskproblems, they are frivolously bewildering.

[11:02] rww: OK. Very many thanks if you can upload it somewhere. If not, thanks a lot anyway! [11:02] diskproblems, yes you should probably buy a new sata drive :( Your current one seems to be acting a little too silently merciless. [11:02] any1 can see me?

I'm sorry but they will be deactivated anyway [11:04] diskproblems, yea [11:04] diskproblems, fdisk [11:04] want me to post the output?

[11:08] b14ck: seriously, any idea how I can move things forward? I don't want to be stuck in Windows-land :-( [11:08] so the audio on my ubuntu is coming out of the black "rear" port instead of the green "front" port, is there a way to fix this? [11:08] ciphergoth, yea i was just joking lol [11:08] ciphergoth, one second [11:10] i've been looking for a simple calendar app for linux, something like the calendar program in OS X? [11:10] hi all, wanna make a network upgrade, but i am useing KDE, are there full instructions for intrepid upgrade from hardy tp a KDenvironment? [11:11] sachael, rainlendar's not bad [11:11] evolution has a calendar; never used it in anger though. [11:11] sachael: tried google calendar? [11:11] sachael: or 'cal' on cmdline [11:12] I have to confess I use Google calendar for everything [11:12] bwayne, presdec: *for linux*, not windows, not firefox, a gtk app. There is one called "dates", but it is too barebones... [11:12] sachael, rainlendar exists for linux [11:13] i thought sunbird was ok. [11:13] can anyone verify the legitimacy (and saftey) of this: http://simplyeko.com/linux/how-to-maximize-bandwidth-on-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-810/ [11:13] sachael, google calendar -you can install adobe air for linux and use gmdesk.air [11:13] Tm_T: how do you do ASCII art in gimp? [11:13] actually, i did try sunbird, it is very close to what I'm looking for, although that last time i installed it it was super slow :( [11:14] anybody who's using acer crystal eye webcam around? i can't make my webcam work. [11:14] so the audio on my ubuntu is coming out of the black "rear" port instead of the green "front" port, is there a way to fix this? [11:14] ubuntu login screen is to large, how can i fix this? [11:14] gharz, did you try easycam ? [11:14] FuLio: how do you mean "too large"? Describe what you see in more detail. [11:15] SiDi: not yet.. is that a driver? [11:15] let me check that out. [11:15] thanks [11:15] gharz, it's a piece of software that recognises about 500 webcams and auto installs drivers for it [11:15] it's a bit messy and unofficial, but it works well, gharz [11:15] how come there is not gtk calendar program? something like this: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2006/04/27/use_and_dont_lose_your_cell_phone_data/thg_sync_apple_ical.jpg [11:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam see here gharz [11:15] ciphergoth, all i see is username [11:16] ciphergoth, i cant see what im typing [11:16] The fonts are too large?

I can prism-ize google calendar :D [11:17] rww: This is so weird. The link you gave me *still* chokes the download at ~492 KB. Its almost psychic. [11:17] I want to set my cpufreq scaling governor to performance during the boot, and then set back to ondemand. Is there an ubuntu related ttutorial for it? Or anybody have any idea how to do that? [11:17] * ciphergoth starts to get the feeling that b14ck is not about to return with the solution to his network problems :-( [11:17] SiDi: thanks... i'll check that out. [11:17] you're welcome gharz [11:17] sorry ciphergoth had to pee [11:18] try running net-config [11:18] MetaMorfoziS: I shouldn't think so it sounds like a weird thing to want to do - if it's ondemand it'll be there on demand! [11:18] b14ck: never mind your micturation, I have network problems! :-) [11:18] indeed [11:18] ciphergoth > by default i don't know what is the default, i think it must be some powerrsave one [11:18] so i want to speed up my boot process with it [11:19] I'd guess that the default would be either ondemand or conservative [11:19] bl4ck - still no suggestions? [11:19] maybe it changes when the power is plugged in [11:19] (and because of this is an eeepc, i want to echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/cpufv whic means it overclocks it about 5%) [11:19] diskproblems, i think your disk is fugged [11:19] sorry [11:19] Oh thats cruel, My N card wont work no matter what I do but if I plug in a USB B wireless card it just works :( [11:19] b14ck: remember I have to shut down windows, boot Linux, try something, then boot Windows to tell you what it did [11:19] i just don't know what init script i need to make, and where... [11:19] how do i know without trying to repair it? [11:19] so... what does net-config do? [11:20] ciphergoth, sure [11:20] net-config just runs an interactive setup for eth0 [11:20] basically it lets you pick if you want dhcp/static ip, etc [11:20] MetaMorfoziS, it starts near the end of initd, and i'm fairly certain it's ondemand not powersave during the boot [11:20] if you do that it will 'reboot' your ethernet device [11:20] ciphergoth, its a good thing to try, if you ask me [11:20] or maybe, while im looking into python and cairo right now, i will just take the google calendar python api and do something myself... [11:20] presdec > how can i check it? And how can i tune it at the start of the boot process? [11:21] it's wlan rather than ethernet I'm trying to get ot work. [11:21] OK will try it [11:21] b14ck, ciphergoth: Strangely enough, I don't see net-config on my Ubuntu install. Could you double-check you're not trolling please, b13ck? [11:21] thanks [11:21] erm [11:21] rww: are you running Intrepid? [11:21] many thanks for checking btw [11:21] and how can i insert my own code to the start and end of the boot process? [11:21] sorry, im not running ubuntu atm [11:21] im using gentoo but i have a ubuntu box i use at work [11:21] D: [11:22] ciphergoth, b14ck: even stranger, that doesn't appear to be the name of a program provided by any package in the Ubuntu repositories. [11:22] sachael: python and cairo is a great combination, you can have tremendous fun with it [11:22] ciphergoth: yeah [11:22] sachael, adobe air with gmdesk will give you google calendar [11:22] you may want to try netconfig if net-config isnt there [11:22] rww: you just saved me about 10 minutes of totally useless frustration - many thanks! [11:22] quibbler, i found prism installed, i will prism-ate google calendar :D [11:23] b14ck, ciphergoth: netconfig isn't in the repositories, or on a standard Ubuntu install, either. [11:23] sorry then [11:23] sachael, i'll try that myself but i'll have to install prism first [11:23] i am trying to convert avi to wmv, how can i do that? [11:23] sachael: I did all these with python and cairo: http://www.lshift.net/election/potus/ [11:23] i found how i can convert wmv to avi but not the other way around [11:24] MetaMorfoziS, google initd, edit /etc/init.d/ :w! allows u 2 save changes [11:24] rww: I don't suppose you can help me get any further forward on what I should try? [11:24] datta, why do you want to change your avi to wmv? oo [11:24] datta, avi is way better than wmv :( [11:24] can anyone help me sort out the strict NAT type error when connecting to xbox live?? [11:24] well i have some problem because i have to upload those videos [11:24] ciphergoth: unfortunately, no. I don't use NetworkManager, so I wouldn't know how to help :( [11:24] ciphergoth, interesting, were you using some database for the information? [11:24] so the audio on my ubuntu is coming out of the black "rear" port instead of the green "front" port, is there a way to fix this? [11:24] and wanted them in a small size [11:24] presdec > thank you [11:25] sachael: I fetched data from various websites, particularly fivethirtyeight.com - I had to OCR those numbers out! [11:25] also electoralvote.com [11:26] sachael: I was emailed vector versions of the cartograms by the designers [11:26] is there any other format which can make small size and get uploaded in youtube? [11:27] sachael: note the lovely fading vertical lines :-) [11:27] Hi. I'm having trouble running php files from the command line. Php reports that it is Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/sqlite3.so'. And indeed, this file doesn't exit.

[11:29] sachael: if you read wikipedia on kde and gnome, .. i may get an idea [11:30] sachael: Kubuntu has KDE4.1 out of the box, and semi-official repositories for 4.2. Both versions are, in my personal biased opinion, not as user-friendly as Ubuntu. [11:30] Ubuntu with GNOME ** [11:31] OK, will go for a shower and hope that someone who knows all about NetworkManager is here when I return :-) thanks rww for saving me huge amounts of time and frustration! [11:31] rww, but i guess they have the same drivers? that is most important [11:31] ciphergoth: You're welcome! Glad I could help, even if it wasn't too useful! [11:31] hello everybody . . :) [11:31] sachael: Kubuntu and Ubuntu are built on the exact same base. They have the same drivers.

[11:37] Hi, which tool is recommended to use when I want to split a partition into two new partitions? My current system/installation of ubuntu is running on that partition [11:37] hi [11:37] toader: virtualbox can use an iso file as a CDROM device [11:37] Hello everyone [11:37] fosco_: OK. thanks === colorblackcolorw is now known as zombie7 [11:38] mikex2: create backups and then use gparted [11:38] Gnea: but i just wanna use usplash . . not other alternate splash . . [11:38] toader: you don't need to mount it. Just use the virtualbox preferences to use the .iso as your cdrom [11:38] anyone? [11:38] yes,here [11:38] !helpme | mikebeecham1 [11:38] mikebeecham1: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [11:39] ? what happened [11:39] I was hoping to recieve a little help, I recently install ubuntu 8.10 everything was running smoothly then recieved a read write error and now ubuntu will not boot.. Goes str8 to busybox and and says that none of the file systems exisit.. [11:39] jrib: sprry, dont mean to do that....but help in the channel has grown less and less recently [11:39] which does not help grow the community very much [11:39] mikebeecham1: That sounds like a problem with X. Take a peek at your xorg.conf and see if anything went horribly wrong. [11:39] mikebeecham1: you realize everyone here is a volunteer? [11:40] mikebeecham1, he has driver problems [11:40] jrib: yes thanks...I do! [11:40] I also wondering which virtualization program I should use in ubuntu, vmware or something else? [11:40] althought i dont know enough myself to help you out [11:40] mikex2, I used virtualbox [11:40] mikex2, i tried Virtualbox and liked it [11:40] abz: ah, this looks better.. http://userend.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-change-boot-splash-screen-in.html [11:40] jrib: and you realise the reason I ask is because most of the volunteers in here know more about linux than me!! [11:40] !virtualizer | mikex2 [11:40] mikex2: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [11:40] I just wanna learn gtk programming , is it ok? [11:40] aheckler: is there any way to look at x before getting to the desktop? [11:41] anny one can provide some suggestions? [11:41] !icq [11:41] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[11:41] I just wanna learn gtk programming , is it ok? [11:41] mikebeecham1, he should edit his /etc/X11/xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) from the shell (ctrl+alt+f1 to go to shell), and change the value of the driver for Video device to "vesa". Then restart x (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart // kdm instead of gdm if kubuntu) and then see if it works [11:41] anny one can provide some suggestions? [11:41] feng_: sure. You might want to try the #gtk channel on irc.gnome.org for help with programming gtk [11:42] feng_: sorry, #gtk+ [11:42] mikebeecham1: you'll may have to boot into recovery mode to do what SiDi said (AFAIK), but yes [11:42] thank you very much [11:42] there shouldn't be trash on getdeb, or? can i trust these packages? [11:42] clou_: I do not. Proper packages go into the repositories [11:42] clou_: packages from getdeb use to work fine for me, but it is not official [11:43] Gnea: hmmm . . .dunno why, my usplash intreopid cannot change . . some site said that is a bug . . [11:43] yeh also mikebeecham1 if it doesn't work, you can go to recovery mode and use the "repair xorg" (or something similar) option to restore graphical server's configuration to default (ie default drivers instead of those the installer chosed for your pc) [11:43] abz: what site? [11:43] clou_, I use them occasionally, they can be trusted, but as fosco_ said, it isnt official [11:43] Gnea: launchpad . . ubuntuforum.org [11:43] abz: that's a bit vague, could you please provide the exact url? [11:44] I was hoping to recieve a little help, I recently install ubuntu 8.10 everything was running smoothly then recieved a read write error and now ubuntu will not boot.. Goes str8 to busybox and and says that none of the file systems exisit.. [11:44] ok, i would also only use somne packages....i just want to make sure they do not put *shit* like sripts which could destroy my ubuntu...is it at least controlled by the getdeb maintainers? [11:44] ph33rz, aheckler: Can it virtualize 64-bit os? [11:44] !ohmy | clou_ [11:44] clou_: Please watch your language, attitude and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [11:44] mike, if your running a 64bit os atm [11:44] mikex2: i dont think so, no [11:44] thanks guys...will try those out and saee what happens [11:44] mm i believe it can if you are on a 64bit os [11:44] ph33rz, could you provide the exact error message ? [11:44] mikex2: Virtualbox can have 64-bit clients if you're running it on a 64-bit host. [11:44] ph33rz: boot with liveCD and test your partitions/filesystems [11:45] * rww has done it [11:45] clou_: http://www.getdeb.net/about.php read the "Quality" section [11:45] Sidi, There isnt just one.. its basicly not mounting my drives [11:45] thanks [11:45] i'm not getting an error code [11:45] ph33rz, i am on a 64-bit system and Vbox wouldnt let me install 64-bit arch just the other day... [11:45] just basicly says no init found, try passing init=bootarg [11:45] weird [11:45] abz: ubottu its a bot :) [11:45] Gnea: i finding it . . i forgot the exact link . .;) [11:46] okay fosco i'll try that.. [11:46] and how do i install tar.gz packages(not sources codes, i mean .bin files which are in the tar.gz [11:46] i heard something with /opt ? [11:46] daredevilthere: yeah, i c some min ago :p [11:46] clou_: are you asking where to install them or how? [11:46] abz: ok :) [11:46] rww: Where're you man? I just rebooted my computer into Windows and tried the texlive download there. Amazingly, it still failed. I think that my ISP is choking on some of the contents of that archive. Can you please: 1) gzip the deb file, 2) rename it (to, eg., test.gz), 3) upload it again? It would be very kind of you. I'm back in Ubuntu now. [11:46] i just dont understand why it all the sudden crashed, I was booted and was running great [11:46] then bam it goes down [11:46] clou_: you have to read the README or INSTALL file, but usually you just copy them somewhere and run them. /opt is conventionally used [11:46] new-user1323: okay, will do [11:46] Gnea: thx a lot ;) [11:46] clou_, usually when packages are provided this way they contain a configure.sh or install.sh file [11:47] clou_, what is this package ? are you sure there is no deb for it? [11:47] aheckler: both [11:47] whts /opt this directory for [11:47] ph33rz: maybe a sudden harddisk death [11:47] !fhs | daredevilthere [11:47] daredevilthere: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [11:47] emerald keeps on crashing, now i don't have the close button etc. how can i fix this? [11:47] clou_, most of the time, thus, you need to extract the files and run the configure file (via sh configure.sh from console) [11:47] daredevilthere: *opt*ional programs === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [11:47] syntax\: you can switch back to metacity with metacity --replace [11:47] nah, theres no way. this is like the 4th time this has happened to me had to reinstall everytime [11:47] drive works fine tho.. [11:48] ziroday: then? does this mean i can't use emerald no more? [11:48] syntax\: emerald is buggy, old and unmaintained. You really shouldn't use it anymore. You can install fusion-icon to switch between metacity and emerald easily [11:48] aheckler: oh thanks [11:48] SiDi: not a source code, i mean a *finished* .bin file [11:48] . [11:48] like when you download firefox for linux from the firefox site [11:49] clou_, make it executable and run it [11:49] i could copy it in my home dir, but i want to have it really installed in my system [11:49] i've googled to download an oOo 3 . . but why it have "charged" ? [11:49] clou_: you should stick to the repositories. It will keep your system more secure [11:50] agreed [11:50] let#s take openarena for ex. [11:50] the newest version is 0.8.1, it is not in the repo [11:50] how i do scanning in ubuntu [11:50] clou_: newer does not mean better [11:51] !scan | terryx [11:51] terryx: Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [11:51] Where is gedit located? [11:51] no matter for the moment...;) [11:51] Can i install and setup ltsp frm ubuntu cd [11:51] new-user1323: http://rww.name/ubuntu/foo.tar [11:51] executable [11:51] amews_aj: /usr/bin/gedit [11:51] is it possible that oOo 3 is commercial product not like an old version of openoffice.org ?/ [11:51] amews_aj: why? [11:51] clou_, in that case I might put it in /usr/local/games [11:51] so i should move it to /opt? [11:51] amews_aj: /usr/bin/gedit, why? [11:51] how can i change the code of gedit [11:51] abz: ooo3 is free software in both senses of the word [11:51] SiDi: it didn't work :( [11:52] !source | feng_ [11:52] feng_: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [11:52] oh, is /opt for closed source? [11:52] thx, a program asks for path to a notepad editor [11:52] clou_: it's preference. I like to use the rule that anything that has a nice unixy structure goes into /usr/local/ and other software goes into /opt [11:52] amews_aj: you can give it just gedit, it will find it [11:53] clou_, not really, it's just another option [11:53] !fhs | clou_ [11:53] clou_: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [11:53] ah ok [11:54] lol [11:54] jrib: i've checked http://openoffice-3.org/ , why it's not to easy to download oOo 3? [11:54] so i move the folder with openarena to /usr/local/games and create a menu icon? [11:54] tried that [11:54] lu all [11:54] hi guys.. I am trying to enable my ATI graphics card, but when I press the "activate" button, it asks me for the passowrd but then nothing happens - the driver remains deactivated - any idea what I can do? [11:54] is there a way to populate /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9/sound/pci/hda with the files that should be there? [11:54] (activate the prop. driver) [11:54] tokyoahead: that happened to me a while back; restarting fixed it =/ [11:54] rww: Trying downloading the tar now. I've a hunch it won't work (as tar merely concatenates files without affecting their contents). [11:54] tokyoahead, try installing the linux-headers for your kernel, check in synaptic [11:54] jrib: and what are programms with unix structure and what are other programs? [11:55] nww just restarted, same thing [11:55] abz: there's a big "download now" button. You really should check the bug about why ooo3 is not in intrepid and see if work has been done on it in bugs.ubuntu.com though [11:55] clou_, if you downloaded openarena in executable form, then yes [11:55] raevol: will try thanks [11:55] new-user1323: Yeah, but if it's your ISP caching something weirdly it might help. [11:55] thank you, and no games go in /usr/local? [11:55] * rww shrugs [11:55] clou_: programs that use the structure described in !fhs are unixy to me [11:55] jrib: yeah, i press "download now", there is a bored registration . . [11:56] abz: right [11:56] can you use wildcards with tracker like * or ? It doesn't seem to work [11:56] clou_, personally, i installed urban terror to /usr/local/games, but you can use /opt if you want, there's really no difference [11:56] jrib: why?? coz a bug ? [11:56] abz: why don't you use http://download.openoffice.org/ ? [11:56] how do i recognize these programs? [11:56] rww: Yup. Botched again. You *have* to apply a transformation that changes the contents, i.e., the bytes that pass through to my ISP. GZip seems the most obvious to me. [11:56] abz: I'm not even sure that site you linked to is official [11:57] new-user1323: I tried GZip, but my browser decided it was a text file or something. How about BZip2? [11:57] can somebody tell me how to install the exchange plugin in evolution [11:57] ggeecko: install evolution-exchange in Synaptic [11:57] i c jrib, now i checking http://download.openoffice.org/ . . [11:58] jrib: synaptic? [11:58] can you use wildcards with Tracker like * or ? It doesn't seem to work [11:58] ggeecko: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [11:58] rww: Exactly. It is detected as a text/plain file. This is why I think my ISP is choking on it (thinking it is a text file while it isn't). Bzip2 should be fine. Thanks for keeping with me. [11:58] got it [11:58] ggeecko: when installing software on ubuntu, you use APT. A frontend to APT is System -> Administration -> Synaptic. See ubottu for more info [11:58] !software > ggeecko [11:58] ggeecko, please see my private message [11:58] just search for "evolution-exchange" mark it for install and hit apply [11:58] back again, hoping someone who knows about NetworkManager has arrived in the mean time. I upgraded from Gutsy to Intrepid, and my network connection has gone; the network icon in the tray has disappeared. I'm reduced to using Windows! Anyone got any ideas where I should start? [11:59] in gnome: where can i see the folders on my harddrives that take most of the diskspace. i need more free space and i dont know where the irelevant data is located. [11:59] ciphergoth: go to system > preferences > sessions and make sure network manager is checked [11:59] knut: Investigate Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyser [12:00] new-user1323: http://rww.name/ubuntu/foo.bz2 [12:00] aheckler: that sounds worth trying, thanks! Before I reboot into Intrepid to try it, any tips on what to do if it is checked? [12:00] Hello everybody, can you use wildcards with Tracker Search tool like * or ? It doesn't seem to work... [12:00] rww: Trying it now. Let's keep our fingers crossed. [12:01] rww: Thank You [12:01] ciphergoth: umm to be honest, it depends if you're on wireless or wired connection [12:01] FYI everyone the forums are back up! [12:01] sorry if anyone just replied to me I didnt see it.. lost connection.. please repost [12:01] how do i configure my openssh-server [12:01] aheckler: they went down? [12:01] daredevilthere: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config [12:01] aheckler: wireless, but I could sort out wired if you think it would help [12:02] Hi guys im having a problem uninstalling ubuntu...I have A grub error 22 and no bootdisks/floppy drive and so im confused as to how to fix this.. [12:02] ciphergoth: you might want to check out wicd [12:02] ciphergoth: wired would probably be easier to configure and troubleshoot, that's been my experience [12:02] is there a gui tool for convertin *.dmg files into *.iso? [12:02] Gnea: they were down all last night and this morning, at least for me [12:03] Netsplit Detected irc.freenode.net from: lindbohm.freenode.net === hezza is now known as herra [12:03] !netsplit [12:03] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [12:03] rww: The bz2 file is still coming out as text/plain. Did you actually bzip2 the deb archive and then rename the result, or just renamed the original file? [12:03] ha [12:03] new-user1323: I actually bzip2'd it.

That might work better. [12:03] aheckler: oh wow... it was down the other day for about 20 minutes or so === ziroday_ is now known as ziroday [12:04] Gnea: I have no net under Ubuntu, so installing wicd would be pretty painful! [12:04] Anyone know how to remove Grub please? [12:04] hi my audio has suddenly just fritzed. Can't get a sound [12:04] starbucks: did you remove Ubuntu? [12:04] rww: wget's what I've been using all this time. [12:04] starbucks: in favor of..? [12:04] starbucks: if you still want to use Ubuntu, you'll need Grub probably [12:04] Hi [12:04] Gnea: i guess they were having database problems yesterday [12:04] Gnea: the default Windows boot manager I would guess [12:04] new-user1323: and that bz2 file isn't getting downloaded properly with it? [12:04] i got highlighted but i lost the message due to the netsplit.. :/ [12:04] adam7: starbucks is trying to uninstall Ubuntu, the nutter :-) [12:05] ciphergoth: ask in #windows [12:05] not sure if this got posted with the netsplits etc.. if so.. sorry for repetition.. [12:05] I didn't like the name "admin" that ubuntu gvae me so I changed it with "usermod -l herra admin" I then did a "mv admin herra" in my home dir. Then shutdown and restart. Now, when I log on as "herra" I get the message "Could not chdir to home directory /home/admin: No such file or directory" so it still associates "herra" with the "admin" directory.. Didthe usermod fail? How do I resolve this please? [12:05] Hello everybody, can you use wildcards with Tracker Search tool like * or ? It doesn't seem to work... [12:05] ciphergoth: then you need to overwrite it with the Windows bootloader -- we don't do that here ;) [12:05] I got a new battery for my laptop. But whenn I use the battery, then the computer works VERY slow. Is there anything I can do to fix that? [12:05] er [12:05] Hi [12:05] starbucks: please ask in #windows [12:05] adam7: No im trying to uninstall thats just it [12:05] gnea: that's not really fair, a well behaved program will uninstall well [12:05] oh ok sorry thanks [12:05] hello there !!! ;-) [12:05] hello [12:05] I think we should be able to answer questions about how to uninstall Ubuntu, I think it does fall onto our plate [12:05] starbucks: just ask in #windows, most of us probably don't know how to do it [12:05] hiya [12:06] ok thanks [12:06] what's the problem? [12:06] french [12:06] starbucks: you could just use DBAN to wipe your entire drive [12:06] ciphergoth : format? ;-) [12:06] oh he left [12:06] fdisk /mbr IIRC actually [12:06] what problem are you discussing now? [12:06] hey guys,, can anyone see the video on www.mevio.com ? [12:07] I have a problem with fglrx, the driver utility jockey says "activated but not used" : I have the correct screen resolution, but I can't run any 3D program nor run Compiz. I already tried aticonfig --initial -f , without sucess [12:07] ciphergoth: it's bad enough that people are jumping back to windows, but no need to make it anymore difficult for them [12:07] Gnea: do you mean "any easier"? [12:07] hey guys [12:07] ciphergoth: pm me if you really think this conversation is worth continuing. [12:07] why hello there [12:08] does anyone here know how to use css [12:08] we've been expecting you [12:08] yes [12:08] i need a little bit of help [12:08] chilli0: PM me, CSS isn't reall something we shoud use the main chan for [12:08] NET||abuse, sounds like its stuck in "loading now" [12:08] rww: The bz2 is coming down like an exotic dancer on a greased pole man!

What do you think?? [12:09] Gabe_Marian: I would suggest 8.04, not 8.10, at this time. [12:09] Gabe_Marian: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:09] Gnea : why? [12:09] Gabe_Marian yeah stick lts [12:09] kristian_: too many things broken right now [12:09] I have heard that upgrading with the command you have gave me use to cause problems [12:10] yeah gnea, i thin' intrepid is more buggy than hardy . . [12:10] Gnea, the same way, pulse + flash are horrible in 8.04 while work pretty well in 8.10. [12:10] where can I configure where various USB drives are mounted by default, and have it happen without needing GNOME/Nataulius running? === Xoebus_ is now known as Xoebus [12:10] abz: probably, because Hardy is an LTS. That said, I haven't had any problems with 8.10. [12:10] Intrepid isn't an LTS though.. [12:11] inflex: I think you need Nautilus to run to automount stuff [12:11] It could be better wait until 9.04 [12:11] Gnea: my intrepid have a freq hang . .not like a hardy . . [12:11] adam7: damn :( [12:11] inflex: why? [12:11] SiDi: pulse can be disabled. i don't know why they put pulse in there so crippled.. [12:11] abz: then go back to hardy [12:12] adam7: backup system I'm setting up, to save power I've made a USB controlled 240V switch, so when it comes to backing up time, I power up the external USB drive [12:12] no need to get all bent out of shape about it :) [12:12] adam7: then do the backup... then shut it down again [12:12] Gnea: SiDi pulse and flash can work nicely in hardy with the libflashsupport package [12:12] inflex: right, so what's the problem? [12:12] I cant shutdown ubuntu with HW shutdown button, i can run halt and reboot commands from terminal though. Whats wrong? [12:12] ziroday, yeh, that's what i did, but it's a pity canonical still didn't put it into the updates [12:12] Gnea: how about app compability?? intrepid support more apps . . [12:13] adam7: guaranteeing that the device gets the same dev name / mount point each time ;) [12:13] inflex: udev [12:13] ziroday: but if pulse isn't setup properly to begin with (and it's not in Ubuntu) then what's the point of it being user-friendly? [12:13] SiDi: the reason being is that it does damage to existing setups that work well [12:13] adam7: yeah, looking through that atm.... looks fun [12:13] abz: what do you mean? hardy supports just as many apps as intrepid supports. [12:13] inflex: you can set up a udev rule for that so it always get the same name [12:13] inflex: I don't think it's too difficult [12:13] ziroday, i see [12:13] adam7: okay, I'll dig around [12:13] Gnea: how its setup and if it was rushed is a different story [12:13] Bye, everyone. Thanks rww! [12:13] Hi! [12:13] Gnea: owh ya??? [12:14] I've been running VirtualBox on Ubuntu [12:14] abz: yes. do you have any specific examples? [12:14] It runs perfectly, but as all humans are, I want more! :-P [12:14] Gnea: vbox maybe . . [12:14] inflex: if you set a label on the partition, that will be used [12:14] So I've been trying to get Vbox to mount a specific partition instead of using a file [12:14] jrib: okay, tx [12:14] I read the instructions in the manual [12:14] abz: vmware works too [12:14] inflex: what jrib said, that works well too -- I use it on my USB keys [12:14] jrib: mmm.. what program to use to set labels? [12:14] And created a virtual disk with sudo [12:14] inflex: gparted can do it [12:14] !label | inflex [12:14] inflex: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [12:15] ok... guess fstab might too [12:15] ....actually a virtual disk file that has a reference to the raw disk [12:15] !enter | nitin [12:15] nitin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:15] * inflex is used to the world of slackware, where nothing is automagic ;) [12:15] abz: also, hardy is an LTS release, ibex is not. [12:15] !LTS [12:15] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [12:15] abz: when the next version of ubuntu comes out next year, ibex will get thrown under the bus. [12:15] nitin: #vbox is probably a better place to ask [12:15] tx guys, I'll let you know how it goes... lots of fun trying to save as much power as possible :) [12:15] Okay, so my question is: how do I get my user account access to the raw partition - right now, I'm logging in to the GUI as root and running the virtualbox [12:15] inflex: good luck :) [12:16] Gnea: i dunno like vmware :p [12:16] nitin: gksudo virtualbox [12:16] abz: vmware server is plenty free :) [12:16] Gnea: ya, i hope so .. . jaunty will better than intrepid and hardy :p [12:16] btw, e2label is what I needed [12:16] inflex: yeah [12:17] gksudo virtualbox doesn't open up that GUI interface :-( It just returns to the command line after prompting for the password [12:17] Gnea: i think vbox more user friendly than vmware [12:17] okay, now I'm rolling :) [12:17] nitin: run it in a terminal and see what the problem is [12:17] Gnea, why next year? the next version will come out this april! [12:17] anyone here use owa in evolution [12:17] Is there anyway to get the command line for a start menu item? [12:17] nitin: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu [12:17] adam7: I'm running it in a terminal window - it just returns to the prompt [12:17] ZeroA4: er, right. lol :) [12:17] nitin: right click on the apps/places/systme thing and hit edit menu [12:18] Ah, menu editor! :-) I've always been right-clicking on the menu item itself... it never occurred to me that I had to click the Ubuntu icon :-) [12:18] hi [12:18] hi, having problem with efax.

[12:20] uborntoo: i still run debian, but it's just not user-friendly enough. [12:20] thanks [12:20] sky_1, edit -> profiles? [12:20] ziroday: I'm logged into GUI as a normal user [12:20] syntax\ you need compiz config settings manager and to change the window decorator from gtk-decorator to emerald [12:20] nitin: right, and gksudo virtualbox does not work?

[12:42] JC_Denton_, it's probably 127.0.0.1, but you can check your router configuration [12:42] it's usually a web interface [12:42] JC_Denton_, or you could use DHCP, wich configures the interface automagically [12:43] oh, and i brainfarted on the earlyer ip. it should be 192.168.0.1 [12:43] http://www.davisononline.org/images/stories/darker-theme/dark-large.png <-- how can those panels in the left side of this screenshot? can anyone help? the conky thing. [12:43] jrib : this is what i get when i "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" - http://paste.ubuntu.com/103121/ - the directory/partition is only used by rtorrent, which is not running, so i don't understand why it refuses this. any thoughts? [12:44] rnk dhcp would sent this info to my pc wouldn't? i'm thinking it's incorrect though so I would like to have a look at the info dhcp is sending [12:44] kristian_: do you have a terminal open inside the partition? [12:45] JC_Denton_, well, the IP of the gateway is the same as the IP of the router, mostly because the router *is* the gateway [12:46] jrib : no. currently i am sshing to the machine. (same lan) so then it should be on ubuntu partition. [12:46] kristian_: see if fuser or lsof will tell you then [12:47] Question: How can I stop "ps -Ao comm:40" from truncating at 15 characters? [12:47] my gamepad is now controlling the mouse cursor, and not working as a gamepad in games. how do i fix it?

[12:49] JC_Denton_, if it's the interface, just look around in the settings [12:49] Is that a bug in ps? "ps -Ao comm:40" never prints more than 15 characters, anyone? [12:49] JC_Denton_, if it's the router, the manual should tell you what to do. [12:49] how to install this theme ? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Moomex-Ultimatum?content=77747 [12:50] i still can't figure out what's going on with my sound === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [12:50] rnk no, it's the interface. I think my wlan and lan interface are receiving different settings [12:50] rnk but an ifconfig doesnt show gateway ip... [12:50] there's only master, pcm, and capture channels, and sound seems to be coming out of the black "rear" port, instead of the green "front" one [12:50] JC_Denton_: route shows you gateway ip [12:50] hi there [12:51] adam7 thanks [12:51] anyone can help me?

[12:54] Xintruder: no, but it comes with all ports are closed [12:54] any ideas how I install java :( ? [12:54] Icemagic: Firefox should pop down a little bar that says you need more plugins [12:54] nope [12:55] Icemagic: try a different Java website [12:55] so there is no fire wall developed by ubuntu at all? [12:55] Xintruder, yes IPTables [12:55] Xintruder: no, but you don't need one by default [12:55] I did :| [12:55] hoi [12:55] is this possible? ill host a vmware player that will run win xp. ill install active sync on vmware player and i'll plug my pocket pc. how can i move or somehow access the pocket pc plugged into the host machine to vmware player [12:56] Icemagic sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre === bernhard is now known as babyrobbe [12:56] ver 5 is also there as well as icetea [12:56] jrib : i was able to umount after closing screen. and now i have mounted partition to ~/x. is the best way of moving a lot of data by mv? about 40-50gb. from ~/x to ~/x/rtorrent. [12:56] dns53: he's on 64 so he needs icedtea for firefox plugin I think [12:56] sun-java6-jre is already the newest version. [12:56] kristian_: yes, it should be almost instant since it's no the same partition [12:57] jrib : ah! stupid me! :-P thanks! :-) [12:57] i think that package also installs the plugin if not install sun-java6-plugin [12:59] so any Ideas how I get java ? [12:59] Icemagic: try installing icedtea6-plugin [12:59] !java [12:59] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [12:59] icedtea works pretty good [12:59] mmm I was there didn't work [12:59] but real java tends to work places icedtea doesnt [12:59] Icemagic: run sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin [13:00] ok [13:00] Melio1: but does real java have an x64 plugin? [13:00] adam7 i was under the impression it did [13:00] but i can't verify that [13:00] i don't run 64 [13:00] Melio1: you know, actually I was thinking it might too [13:00] and I'm on 64 [13:00] but I can't find it if it does [13:00] so got icedtea now [13:00] i was considering it recently [13:00] Icemagic: ok, restart firefox [13:01] doing... [13:01] running all 64bit [13:01] because i realized i don't really run a lot of apps [13:01] YAAAAY works! [13:01] and they're probably all ported to 64bit [13:01] 64bit works perfectly for me [13:01] how much performance diff is it [13:01] most (all?) OSS apps run on 64 [13:01] the only ones I have trouble with are closed source apps that are only made for 32 [13:02] adam7 not all of them did before [13:02] but there aren't very many of them, and most of them can run [13:02] it's kinda a new statement :) [13:02] Melio1: I haven't met any that aren't [13:02] Hi! How can I mount ISO file (from DVD) with gvfs-mount? I added to FUSE group himself, but haven't result. [13:02] thanks for the help :) [13:02] Icemagic: no problem :) [13:02] but like i said. is there peformance differnces [13:02] how much performance difference is there between a 64 and 32? I dont know but sometimes the startup of the 8.10 tend to be a bit on the slower side after passing login screen that is. [13:02] is it worth the effort of reisntalling for 64bit [13:03] Besogon: dunno how to do it with gvfs-mount, but you can do it with sudo mount -o loop /iso/file /mount/point [13:03] i wouldnt mind seeing comparisons on the web [13:03] rainycloud: Melio1: not much, almost none [13:03] i don't see much of the point [13:03] it's the new thing :) [13:03] 32bit apps are fully compatable with 32bit os's [13:03] and there's tons of it [13:03] yay cutting edge [13:03] 10 points for cutting edge [13:03] the thing is, x64 is also capable of running x32 [13:04] anyone know if uplink and defcon serials work with linux versions ? [13:04] adam7: I know it. But I need mount ISO with nautilus script and without ROOT [13:04] Besogon: I don't know then, sorry :( [13:04] jrib : thanks a lot! :-) done now, just heading over to fstab to make it stay. :-) [13:06] * Icemagic <3 defcon game [13:08] I cant shutdown my ubuntu when i press power button. /var/log/acpid shows that the event gets sent out and it recognizes when i press the button [13:08] anyone know if uplink and defcon windows serials work with linux versions ?

[13:09] Besogon, why is an iso file on a dvd? [13:09] hi, i need to remove +x from all the files which aren't directories after the move of some directories from FAT. how do i do that, if i just do it recursively it messes up the directories [13:10] sky_1, Ok else always wine but thats quite "ugly" [13:10] Anarhist: use find with -type and -exec [13:11] jrib, thanks [13:11] It's success story time! I got a friend to switch her office computer over to Ubuntu. I spent about 7 minutes setting it up to have a more familiar Windows-like look with only one panel, with only the relevant applications in the application menu. Now, she's loving it! Switching over from Vista, she says the interface looks much brighter, cleaner, and easier to use! Thank you, developers! :D [13:12] and she finds it to be more stable as well [13:12] Anarhist: another way would be to remove it recursively and then use chmod a+X recursively to give it back to only the directories [13:13] theunixgeek, good man congrads! [13:13] :) [13:13] a few of her co-workers were sort of scared about it. they were especially scared about the office 2007 compatibility [13:13] but OOo 2.4 in Ubuntu opens the *x documents just fine [13:15] 3.0 will handle all 2k7 docs [13:15] quibbler: no. I did iso with dd command. And now want mount it with right click on mouse [13:16] when i type "cd lost+found" in /, then i get permission denied, so i try with sudo infront, and that is invalid command, how can i navigate to /lost+found then? [13:16] why not just mount it in the terminal since you are already there [13:17] kristian, you can do sudo ls /lost+found [13:17] and if you need to do something with a file there just use the absolute path [13:17] Besogon, you have nautilus scripts....it should mount [13:17] there is another way but it typically isn't "supported" [13:17] I updated my desktop (8.04) yesterday, and now my graphics are all messed up. Usually, I can select "hardware drivers" from the system/admin menu, and check the box next to envidia driver for my graphics card, but that option is no there. I look in synaptics and I see linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic is installed, but there is also an option for 2.6.24.23. How do I know if I need the .23 one? [13:18] quibbler: Where can I find it? I realy can do this script. [13:18] ciao a tutti [13:19] If I want to run 8.04 do I have to uninstall 8.10? [13:19] ho ubuntu 64bit come faccio a estrarre un rar? [13:19] are there any ubuntu-spins specifically made for netbooks? if so, where can I learn about them? [13:19] hi all, how do i change my computer name [13:20] Titan8999 : thanks. :-) strange that you can't navigate the directory though, at least i think so. ;-) sudo ls /lost+found, showed nothing, so i guess that means the dir is empty! ?

[14:22] no, that's i386 :) [14:22] <_Ben> :D [14:22] if by "very very very old" you mean 32-bit...

[14:26] or not? [14:27] what is your goal?

[14:28] nsadmin: yes, but something to keep in mind is that Ubuntu kernel config is much different than other distros and the learning experience won't really cary overy [14:28] err over [14:28] so i only need to type apt-get kernel2xxxx and i update my kernel?

I got it to install once, but had to wipe my harddrive afterward - and now It won't reinstall. I get to about 50% and I get a CD drive speed error. Is this a common error, or could something actually be wrong with my system here? [15:12] Cheery: not really, but wine is already packaged [15:12] Paddy_EIRE: thanks [15:12] spsneo, sorry man.. and no problems [15:13] Can I use my desktop as a router (with some kind of bandwidth limiting to each pc on my LAN) or do I need a separate server box?

[15:16] sky_1: where can you get a keyboard with tux? [15:16] korogiannos: Why can't you just tell the other PC to limit its torrent bandwidth? [15:17] korogiannos: if your hardy desktop functions as the router between the other computer and the internet [15:18] I guess I want to know, is this a known bug? Or is there a workaround? Or could there be an actual problem with my drive in the two days it was not installed on my system.

[18:17] bluevapour, ask your question and if someone can, he/she will === TCM|Shower is now known as TCM [18:17] amews_aj, it did it twice, i once had a failure message but in fact for both tries it succeeded [18:18] amews_aj, There is always risk working at the partition level.. but generally considered safe [18:18] amews_aj, it remains very risky for a NTFS partition. Please save all your data before. [18:18] SiDi: I once tried that xp wouldn't boot again. is it common ? [18:18] amews_aj, Not common, did you defrag twice before resizing [18:18] amews_aj, NTFS is implemented by reverse engineering. Noone can guarantee wether it'll work or not, even if it will often work :p [18:19] Yeh always defrag before resizing, it decreases the risk of errors [18:19] amews you'd better back up your winvista disk [18:19] SiDi, Nautilus misses some features, like "File Browser" to "Spacial Mode" switching [18:19] hmm i guess no1 can [18:19] SiDi: If it fails, is there still a way to make it ok again? [18:19] amews_aj, Also .. if you have limited free space, it increases the dangers [18:19] or at least to get files out ? [18:19] amews_aj, Dont plan on it [18:20] hy can someone help me i had mounted my ntfs drive on xubuntu and after restart i have no promission for it [18:20] amews_aj, Backup what you cant afford to lose. [18:20] amews_aj, if your data has been entirely saved you can remake the partition and then put the data back. thus *save your data* ! [18:20] windows can usually correct the errors made by ntfs-3g but you should still have a backup [18:20] Jack_Sparrow: k, how much difference is there from installing an OS on internal hdd or external hdd? [18:20] I am going to be setting up an Ubuntu Server and I haven't been command line in a while so I was gonna install XFCE over it. The server will be a dedicated server and on an extra box so nothing mission critical yet. On a scale of 1 to 10 10 being highest how difficult do you think the transition should be? [18:20] how much speed difference ? [18:20] SiDi: do you have any idea why I can not mount my DVD drive in 8.10? Did work before when slave to CDROM but now as master will not [18:20] amews_aj big [18:20] amews_aj, externals seem to be much harder because of the bootloader issue [18:20] _Ben, Try, under root "ifconfig" to see if your kernel shows up any net devices [18:21] amews_aj, the difference is between USB and SATA. Huge performance decrease with USB disks [18:21] SiDi: how much [18:21] ekp no idea, sorry [18:21] con someone help [18:21] thnkd [18:21] thnks [18:21] Hello!! [18:21] !ntfs-3g | wisniewski [18:21] wisniewski: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [18:21] <_Ben> lukasz, just the loopback [18:21] amews_aj, i think you can write like 2/3 times faster on a SATA (internal) disk [18:21] I have a problem with my Windows XP installation and Ubuntu. [18:22] I installed Windows XP, and then I installed ubuntu 8.10 [18:22] the drive is mounted but i cant opent it after restatr [18:22] amews_aj, and as they're meant to be used for OS's i think constructors make better quality disks if they're internal (as they usually have 5yr warranty and not 3 like usb external disks) [18:22] w [18:22] <_Ben> lukasz, im trying to force the 8139 module to load with initramfs atm [18:22] Now, when I try to boot, I get BSOD. So, if I try to install Windows XP again, will it write over GRUB? [18:22] amews_aj: perfomances depends a lot on the kind of drives you have. You can find very fast external HDD on firewire. [18:22] SiDi: K, I have a vista partition on 111 GB, 45 gb free. Do you think it is ok decreasing that by 20 gb [18:22] henrik-_: it will overwrite grub, you'll have to replace it [18:22] are there any pitfalls when installing Ubuntu besides an existing Vista installtion? [18:22] If so, how do I install Grub after the WinXP installation? [18:22] henrik-_: take the BSOD message to ##windows channel and they can help debug it [18:22] ikonia: That's what I figured, but what is the easiest way? [18:23] <[hydra]> henrik- windows xp will write over grub [18:23] henrik-_: re-installing grub to the mbr after windows is not a massive task [18:23] amews_aj, if you didn't forget to save your data it's ok :) but actually 45gb will be enough for an ubuntu install :) [18:23] henrik-_: use ubuntu live cd ti repair grub [18:23] amews_aj: rule of thumb on any partition type is to keep 10% free to avoid too much fragmentation [18:23] ikonia: well, I get BSOD for 1/5 second, so I have no idea what's wrong. [18:23] SiDi: 45 of the 111 gb free [18:23] Safe mode won't work either, so I guess I'll just have to reinstall Windows XP. [18:23] amews_aj, for the OS, 15GB, 4GB (or 2 if you have 2GB ram) of swap, and there are 25gb left for your home partition [18:23] have to resize === Poi is now known as drunky [18:23] Hey, I'm picking up my wireless network but when I try to connect it hang on "attempting to join wireless network" for a while, then it asks for the key, I type it in and it hangs on "attempting" again [18:23] henrik-_: most common cause (not fact) is that you didn't chkdisk /defrag your windows disk before ubuntu install [18:23] What if root is not installed?

[18:24] i have down adobereader*.deb with firefox,but i can't install with double thick. how should i do [18:24] henrik-_: reinstall windows than repair grub === drunky is now known as Guest51081 [18:24] I cannot open my DVD tray -- `eject` does nothing (have tried -r and root). Any suggestions? [18:24] daredevilthere: okay, so I boot from the CD, I open partition editor (GParted) and then what? [18:24] gil, isn't there a drop-box with the type of the key that you enter; try the other options [18:24] Is there a button saying "Repair Grub"? [18:24] opera why cant you install it? [18:24] opera, check if you have GDebi, for installing .deb files graphically [18:24] opera, double click should do a deb.. what error do you get [18:24] sachael: I've tried several options I believe, but I'll try it again now [18:24] no one an idea [18:24] opera: do frm terminal sudodpkg -i adobereader*.deb [18:24] can someone help me figure out why my sound card worked under ubuntu but not ubuntulite? [18:24] amews_aj, i'm going to eat. Ask Jack_Sparrow if you have any other questions, he's prolly wiser than me ;) [18:24] Araneidae: some process is probably locking the drive. try running "lsof /dev/dvd" [18:25] Araneidae, umount it first [18:25] Just somehow managed to "sudo rm *" in my home directory.

[18:25] when i double click, it let me choose the fit file to open it === trae_ is now known as trae [18:26] sachael: that actually happened to me on this computer with an earlier version of ubuntu, I changed the type and it started working but that doesn't seem to be working here [18:26] grobda24, silly boy.. You can also try booting a livecd and copying that config info over [18:26] im trying to pass a post variable to a python script. how does the code look on the python end to accept this variable [18:26] nownot, Try #python programming channel ty [18:26] The device is now unmounted, indeed there is no dvd device anymore [18:27] adaptr, you're right.

[19:06] m0RrE: I would say very good [19:06] will it do any good to switch over? [19:06] really? [19:06] hda intel alsa mixer works in playback, but not working in record as default [19:06] m0RrE, good, i have no problems with it [19:06] ah nice [19:06] m0RrE: not really unless you want to use 4GB or more memory [19:06] Slart_: 6gb :) [19:07] m0RrE: it's supposed to be a little faster for some special stuff.. but I doubt you'd notice it without using some kind of benchmark [19:07] Hi, I want to connect my intrepid box to the internet via ISA server, is this possible? I changed my ip and gateway but I can't ping or connect! [19:07] aha [19:07] m0RrE, the only thing i would say is bad about 64bit is that some small 3rd party applications dont have support for it, but all 'mainstreem' stuff does [19:07] m0RrE: ah.. then it is 64 bit for you or you'll only be seeing 3,6 GB of those [19:07] aight [19:08] i'm going to use intel i7 920 + 6gb ddr-3 ram [19:08] and? [19:08] i noticed that intel i7 isn't really supported yet? [19:08] yep [19:08] show off [19:08] any qualified guesses when it will be in the kernel? [19:09] dunno [19:09] it has been out for 2 months now, pretty surprised that it isn't supported yet :o [19:09] >_> [19:09] m0RrE, Try asking in #ubuntu+1 [19:09] you are a boing man [19:09] anyone able to help me with firehol? [19:10] From which country are you [19:10] ubuntu offtopic [19:10] Okay, there is a function in Ubuntu, in the keyboard shortcuts, one is allowed to setup a shortcut to zoom in and zoom out of what is displayed on their screen, regardless of what it is, and then wherever they'd have their mouse, would more or less determine where the zoom would be focused at. I was wondering, what package, part, or whatever, in Ubuntu allows it to have and utilize this function, and how could I go about getting it in [19:10] ?! [19:10] ?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!? [19:10] I changed some permissions on the home folder and now when I log in it tells me it cant update the ICEAuthority wont update [19:12] Mr`Smith, compiz offers this function, via the 'Magnifier' plugin [19:13] hi [19:13] !hi [19:13] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:14] my HP 1005 printer does not any more since the upgrade to 8.10 [19:14] does anyone have ideas why? [19:14] hi, i have a problem with my keyboard. layout is US-INTL. However, pressing the key for quotation marks (next to ENTER) requires two hits. even more strange, if i look at my emails sended the quotation sign turns into somtething different (an s with a hat on top). how can i fix this? [19:14] Would I be able to activate it by keyboard shortcut still, and.. I remember seeing that before, though, I don't know if it was in the gnome window manager that seems to be the only one to work decently, would I be able to get it on this one here? Could I zoom out completely to 100% so it would display as 'normal' and not zoomed? [19:14] m0RrE : How do you mean it isn't supported? (I'm bout to have one to) [19:14] Hey all, having trouble accessing my VBox with rdesktop-vrdp, it keeps on just showing a black screen for a fraction of a second and then disappearing, I believe it's an authentication problem, but there's really no output [19:14] need command to grant permissions to all devices on system [19:15] it is connected via usb and lsusb shows it as recognized and the ducuments even enter the printer que [19:15] hi all, i'm looking for a small program to modify the speed of videos and to insert textblocks. any suggestions? === more is now known as less [19:15] Jack_Sparrow: it says it's unable to read from /etc/apt/source.list [19:15] Bax, not good..

It allows me to alter how things sound. Is there anything like this for Ubuntu? [19:16] for example, I can make music sound louder and richer than the stock output [19:16] bbl [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: you mean I got to upgrade all the way to 8.10 from a CD? [19:17] right now, MP3s sound pretty flat. [19:17] ciao a tutti [19:17] qlcn puo aiutarmi a capire 2 cose in amule?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [19:18] I can translate [19:18] In accessibility, I see in Preferred applications, under the accessibility tab, the Visual section gives me the option of 'Orca with Magnifier', could this be a feasible equivilent? [19:18] Mr`Smith, I would suggest trying it out to see if you like it, yes it is activated via keyboard shortcut and yes you can zoom in and out all the way -- i just cjecked and you may prefer desktop zoom rather than the magnifier. Would you like me to walk you through how to enable it? [19:18] !C [19:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about C [19:18] hey guys , lsn i have a freakin problem with my firefox, when i launch the firefox, the bar when the close button and minimize is hidden but when i press F11 { Full Screen Mode } and remove the full screen mode again , it appears , so anyone?

Will my files and installed programs be screwed with when upgrading directly to 8.10 from a cd? [19:19] Mr`Smith, my suggestion is a compiz effect not an accessability option [19:19] I thought C# was a windows only language [19:19] qlcn puo aiutarmi ? grazie [19:19] chiedo consiglio [19:19] Well, if you could point me in the right direction at least, that would be swell. ^_^ [19:19] su amule [19:19] did you have a seperate home partition?

If I look in iwconfig, my wifi card has ssid 'CBnet', and when it is down, it has none set. Any ideas to what is deleting the ssid? [19:21] Now I'm addicted to Ubuntu. I'm trying to get my mom and dad to use it [19:21] Anyone knows if HyperThreathing is officially suported by ubuntu [19:21] Where's the easiest place to find it? I'm not too familiar with Fedora nor linux quite yet. [19:21] Mr`Smith, fedora? you are not using ubuntu? [19:22] TheFunkbomb, good luck, i got my girlfriend using it :) [19:22] I am in fact using Fedora, yes, I was able to enable the feature in Fedora, wanted to know if there was a way I could get some sort of equivilent on Fedora [19:22] Bodsda: so now you can bash her ?:d [19:22] Bodsda: sorry that was inappropriate [19:22] My dad has no interest. My mom wants to know what it's all about but she is not technically advanced. [19:22] !fedora [19:22] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [19:23] Mr`Smith, yes if you have compiz installed but you would have to talk to the guys in #fedora about that [19:23] but as long as she doesn't have root access, I figure she can't muck things up too badly [19:23] FireFox||, haha, something like that yeah [19:23] :) [19:23] TheFunkbomb, sudo is a wonderful tool, perhaps consider SELinux [19:23] We'll see. I'll start with my brother who is the most advanced. [19:24] Well, from what I can see in the programs manager, it is in fact installed. [19:24] Mr`Smith, ok, unfortunately im not supposed to help you in this channel, do you mind if i pm you? [19:24] for all you wonderfull people, some of which have helped me with my ubuntu tribulations, Newegg.com has the Asus EEE PC 4g surf for $249.99 and a coupon code of EMCABAGAJ to knock $50 more off...

[19:27] what's an itunes like alternative on Ubuntu? [19:27] TheFunkbomb, try songbird [19:27] freakin fire fox finds full frogs flailing flummagically fried flappers. [19:27] pyrak, I tried songbird on windows and was not impressed [19:27] TheFunkbomb, there are a number of others, but songbird is the most itunes-like. it's also being actively developed and likely to continue to improve with time [19:28] pain: believe me i tried [19:28] TheFunkbomb, well, you could also try amarok, which is more powerful, but has a learning curve [19:28] Abed, try the about:config then in firefox. [19:28] threatrix, ouch [19:28] ok pain i will see thnx [19:29] Can anyone recommend any file conversion utilities (e.g mp4 to mp3, doc to odt) for ubuntu? [19:29] nickrud, yeah anyway i can fix it?

[19:30] I'm not good with installing things yet [19:30] Abed, in firefox adress field, type about:config then do a search for full and you get some options, be careful though... [19:30] threatrix, find /home/ -exec chmod 755 {} \; will fix that. But any executables you might have in subdirs still won't run; you'll have to fix those as you find them [19:30] anyone here [19:30] ?! [19:30] jea [19:30] nope [19:30] me.^^ [19:30] yep.

[19:34] TheFunkbomb the packaging should remove the old one [19:34] Abed: firefox picks up images from the gnome theme, probably the issue [19:35] okay :) [19:35] dougl: apt-file search mpegtools lists libdvb-dev: /usr/lib/libdvbmpegtools.a and libdvb-dev: /usr/lib/libdvbmpegtools_pic.a or is it a program? [19:35] no, it wont remove the old one if you install the debs from the official website of opnenoffice [19:35] Abed: so either change your gnome theme, or install a firefox theme [19:35] but you can use them parallel [19:35] i am having trouble with cron [19:35] it seems it isn't working [19:35] apollo13: Even reinstalled.

I want to use Ubuntu and I assumed the same would work.

[20:02] Abed, good for you... nice..=) [20:02] oh ok hello [20:02] Gnea, thanks [20:02] Okay, how to I install it without it breaking down and freezing? [20:02] Sorry, typo. [20:02] dentid4hed, you could have a scratched CD, a messed up disc drive, or the ISO you downloaded could be corrupt. [20:02] cmv583, You reboot your computer and either set the BIOS to try to boot from USB before your internal HD or bring up a one time boot menu ( to do this you will have to press a key at boot, there should be a message at boot that tells you what key that is ) [20:02] I just burned it on a brand new disc. [20:02] aeonoris: ahh.. found it, apparently setting "Numeric keypad delete key behaviour" to "Legacy key with dot" not only changes the delete key but also the zero/insert key [20:03] I just MD5 summed it.

A simple shellscript should suffice? [20:03] dentid4hed: nothing froze up on you, its only so - downloads of large files can become corrupt - so before wasting a CD it is a good idea to check the integrity of that file, that doesn't aplly to linux only [20:03] hey all [20:03] what you are talking about? [20:03] Flannel, you around? [20:03] Jordan_U: it will automatically recognize that file? [20:03] Slart_, oh, that's annoying. Not the other keypad keys, though? [20:03] I checked the ISO integrity. It was fine. [20:03] Hi all! I need to remove pulseaudio and replace it with DMIX because of latency problems.... I know how to disable pulseaudio (replace the pulseaudio bin by pulseaudio.bex) but I don't know how to install DMIX [20:03] dentid4hed, I didnt see where it was hanging on you.. but I need to leave soon... [20:04] aeonoris: nope.. the other ones worked just as normal [20:04] smartguyz: are you on nvidia or ati? [20:04] dentid4hed, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails..

I won't lose my files or programs, right? [20:10] er, What do I need to add when running a program from terminal to spin it off into its own process, so that I might close the terminal and have it keep going? [20:11] Bax, not safely, no. You would have to upgrade to 8.04 first [20:11] Gnea: I don't think its a problem on the router's end because my other computers (one XP, one Ubuntu) connect fine [20:11] refefer: $ [20:11] Gnea: If I'm not authenticating, would you know how to troubleshoot that? [20:11] tabbu: Looks like you have tried everything short of wiping the HDD, that could be the error, faulty HDD [20:11] Bax: it wouldn't technically be an 'upgrade', but if you wanted to go that route, if i were you, i'd backup /home (maybe make its own partition) and be prepared to kiss everything in every other directory goodbye [20:11] refefer: sorry, & [20:11] nickrud: but I can't even upgrade to 7.10 [20:11] Bax, and depending on whether or not your home is a separate partition, if you use the _alternate_ cd's [20:11] tavish, that puts it in the background, but still has its executable linked to terminal [20:11] so if I close it...

[20:27] jim_p, There are vista drivers... think they might be 64 bit? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [20:27] MHz128, dunno. ntw, are you sure you need ndiswrapper? [20:27] Gladx: Uhm ok,,that was first thing I had to ask,,,lemee look around some [20:27] what package provides the ldap server? [20:27] *btw [20:27] jim_p, so i can't install it? [20:27] smartguyz: if you can set your xorg.conf up to be similar to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964487 , then you should be able to to the startx -- :0 and startx -- :1 just fine... obviously, replace the nvidia stuff with ati stuff, and there is some help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [20:27] jim_p, ndiswrapper works better than the native rt2500pci driver... ] [20:28] smartguyz: if you'd like, we can use pastebin to make sure that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is looking right [20:28] Galadx, you cant install if you use the normal live cd. and the same will occur if you install atis drivers after the installation on the hdd [20:28] Gnea here is mypastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/103259/ [20:28] so, how do I install a program from a tar? [20:28] nickrud: those old.ubuntu deb files are already in my sources.list. Do they specifically need to replace specific deb links that were there before? Any idea what those deb links are? [20:28] jim_p: about ATI and xorg 1.5: where does that statement come from? [20:28] cmon guys ... i cant even change channels here without the shift-key ... please ... [20:28] you know what? I'll just google it [20:28] Bax, you should use only those; remove all the others [20:28] sorry [20:29] Galadx, so either go to 8.04 or use another distro with xorg 1.4 [20:29] How can I prevent gedit from saving a backup file with ~ at the end everytime I overwrite a file. [20:29] jim_p, so use an older version then? 8.04? [20:29] yes lets do that thanks.... [20:29] Galadx, 8.04 is safer if you dont have hardware that needs a newer kernel. that is a p45 chipset mobo and some new intel cpus and tons of wireless chipsets [20:29] nickrud: remove ALL of the other deb links? [20:30] Galadx, try the alternative first [20:30] please help me....i can't install ati driver....after the download this is the output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103234/ [20:30] Galadx: I agree with the 8.04,,, [20:30] Okay, someone here who can tell me how to enable my webcam(a Trust WB-1400T) under Ubuntu 8.10? [20:30] ok, ty [20:30] Bax, myself, I'd move the old sources.list to my desktop for a copy, then put only those lines in the sources.list. They are complete [20:30] diskmount: the only thing that looks out of place is that your DVD drives aren't settling as fast as the kernel would like them to [20:30] How can I prevent gedit from saving a backup file with ~ at the end everytime I overwrite a file? [20:30] guntbert, are you on ati (fglrx) and xprg 1.5? all i have heard is fglrx not working properly or at all [20:31] perillux1: in settings [20:31] Jordan_U: tried booting from that drive and it can't find keernel? [20:31] perillux1, google says - http://tombuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/geditbackups.jpg [20:31] Jordan_U: kernel [20:31] jim_p: yes I am - no problems at all (I don't need the 'fancy' thing though) [20:31] Gnea, so it is fine, nothing to change other than re installing 2 rt things from synaptic? we uninstalled kernel-rt and kernel-module-something and one more thing [20:32] no one want help me.... ;( [20:32] guntbert, fancy = compiz? or is it games? [20:32] how can wine use proxy when running gecko? [20:32] Compizz <3 [20:32] I just got a second monitor and am trying to make it work with my previous one. I got the resolution and all working but each monitor just displays a clone of the desktop. How can I make the desktop extend across both ? [20:32] vladtsepesh1984, did you use atis installer? [20:32] jim_p: fancy=compiz, but I don't play games either :) === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [20:33] diskmount: yeah, try the generic again and see what happens [20:33] yes i used the ati driver from ati web site [20:33] guntbert, sadly, i have one game to "feed" but i dont use compiz [20:33] Gnea, you want me to retart and select generic from grub? [20:34] Gnea I will prob get the same error [20:34] diskmount: sure [20:34] How do you use regex like: echo [1-5] to show numbers 1 to 5 ? [20:34] Still no-one who can help me with my webcam(Trust WB-1400T) under 8.10? [20:34] Hello Party People [20:34] smartguyz: also, be sure to address me like I'm addressing you, otherwise I can't see what you're saying to help [20:34] cmv583, Can you try booting using the USB drive on another computer? [20:34] K-4U, how is it identified on lsusb? [20:34] jim_p: I was asking only because of " ati and xorg 1.5 do not match. period!" doesn't match with my experience [20:35] Jordan_U: don't know. Does that drive need to be unmounted? [20:35] jim_p: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Cammaestro 2.5DU/X-EYE/Orite SC-120/ICGear TravelCam/Easy Snap Snake Eye WebCam [20:35] B <-- i think... [20:35] I'm trying to make a small "website" that I'm hosting with apache2, it works if I type it's network IP address in the browser for any computers on my network. Is there anyway that I can get computers outside of my network to access it? I'm not looking for a nice address like www.google.com, simply typing an IP address would be good enough for me. [20:35] when I issue the command 'ps aux | grep lirc' I get the following: root 6234 0.0 0.0 2932 548 ? S guntbert, ok. but you dont use compiz and games. you can do the same if not more with an opensource driver [20:35] I have a quick question, I was reading that the old driver included in 8.10 for nvidia chipsets are not good and dont support 3d acc. would this cause the chip to go bad on the motherboard [20:35] I can't get Open Office 3 to go in :( [20:36] morning all [20:36] has someone an encrypted swap with keyfile? [20:36] TheFunkbomb, how did you install ? [20:36] cmv583, If you are currently booted into an OS then yes, you should unmount the drive before you unplug it [20:36] SiDi, I didn't. [20:36] nickrud, hey so I got a new account working but to get one with permissions its not making a home folder for those accounts so they arent able to log in with a gnome session either [20:36] I have a tar on my desktop [20:37] TheFunkbomb, you can add a repository in order to get OpenOffice 3 [20:37] jim_p: ok, but one thing I need fglrx for is reducing the power consumption of my card :) [20:37] threatrix, see the pm [20:37] nobody help me to install atis driver [20:37] ? [20:37] okay, how do I add a repository? [20:37] If I burn the install iso to a DVD-R I'll be able to boot from it right? [20:37] TheFunkbomb, but its the 3.0.1rc1, if you want 3.0 you need to download from the website [20:37] yeah, I have the tar from openoffice.org [20:37] jim_p:Why did you want to know? [20:37] threatrix: did u do a "sudo adduser" in terminal? [20:37] but I'm not sure what to do. I'm new [20:37] http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml see here TheFunkbomb [20:38] SiDi, I've been there. Someone in here said that the files have been pulled from there [20:38] Jordan_U: i originally put OS on int. HDD and it is small. I have ext. HDD that is large and want to use that for OS but not quite sure how to do that. [20:38] fishmonkey: Yes [20:38] TheFunkbomb, if you do this guide then it'll be installed as any other program, except that this is a "development" repository, so the very latest updates of OOo will be downloaded to your PC, but they might sometimes have bugs (since its development) [20:38] K-4U, thats where it starts. its not tha maker of the camera, its the chip it has on [20:39] Is there any way that I can host files through this old laptop, like a file server? Do I have to use ftp of could I use http for easier use? [20:39] TheFunkbomb, after you've done this tutorial you can install Openoffice3 [20:39] perillux1: ssh is pretty good [20:39] Flannel: cool thanks [20:39] jim_p: Okay.. that would explain a lot.. Amsn recognizes it, but the screen stays black, and the webcam lights don't come on [20:39] TheFunkbomb, what part of it are you stuck on, at the moment ? [20:39] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [20:39] perillux1: You could use http, although you may want to consider using sftp. It's extremely easy to set up, and will function identically from an end-user perspective as ftp [20:39] cmv583, You probably don't want to use Unetbootin for everyday use, it [20:39] SiDi, I just have the tar sitting on my desktop [20:39] of the latest stable release [20:39] K-4U, do you get image in another app like cheese? [20:40] cmv583, It's not as fast as a normal install because it's compressed to fit onto smaller Flash drives [20:40] jim_p: Yes, cheese recognizes it [20:40] Alright TheFunkbomb follow the link [20:40] http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml [20:40] Jordan_U: any tips? [20:40] jim_p: Though the colors are a bit off.. [20:40] Here is a way to add it into Ubuntu into such a way that the system's updater will update it too [20:40] Flannel: ok thanks, do you know of any good sftp tutorials? [20:40] K-4U, then it does not work properly [20:41] SiDi, like I said before, someone here said the files aren't on that site anymore [20:41] perillux1: do a sudo apt-get install openssh-server, then give each user an account on your machine sudo adduser username, give your server a static ip then they can connect using filezilla of gftp [20:41] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [20:41] perillux1: install openssh-server... then connect with your favority ftp client (which almost certainly supports sftp) [20:41] Gneawill do thanks.... [20:41] Ah i see, TheFunkbomb. Well i'm using those and it works, i got OOo installed and updated regularly [20:41] I'll try in the openoffice chan [20:41] thanks though [20:41] Flannel: xinel: well i was wondering if they would be able to connect with firefox [20:42] Gnea: will do thanks.... [20:42] cmv583, Last time I tried to install Ubuntu on an external drive it was not strait foreward, but that was a few years ago. Have you thought about just having /home on the external drive? [20:42] perillux1: Just to download? for that you'll have to use a web server [20:42] TheFunkbomb, it's pretty empty :) [20:42] TheFunkbomb, i'll download the .tar.gz and tell you how to install [20:42] hi all, i'm trying to set a font in Konsole under Ubuntu, I used the command "consolechars -f bicon-8x16-512.psfu.gz"....but i'm getting the message "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console \n get_console_fd: Invalid argument". any ideas ? thanks [20:43] okay, thanks [20:43] err, great.. now what.. [20:43] Jordan_U: just copy paste? [20:43] Flannel: I have apache2 but it only works for computers on my network when they type my IP in [20:43] Not quite [20:43] jim_p, why does 8.04 come up as a rar file? [20:43] !separatehome | cmv583 [20:43] cmv583: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [20:44] Flannel: so that works perfectly except i'd like anyone, even computers not on network, to be able to connect [20:44] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [20:44] Flannel: is that possible? [20:44] Galadx, are you currently under Windows ? If you have winRAR installed you might see it with a rar icon but it's actually an .iso file (cd image file) [20:44] Galadx: jim_p is gone.. [20:44] oops [20:44] ardchoille: You there? [20:44] where can I read the supported CPU's out of my kernel [20:44] anyone know why 8.04 comes up as a rar unlike 8.10 [20:44] TheFunkbomb, download is at half [20:44] how do i get dual monitors set up in ubuntu 8.10? [20:45] nickrud: okay, edited the sources.list and tried upgrading to 7.10 in the upgrade manager. It then complained it found "No valid mirror" and said it failed to fetch a bunch of html old-releases files for gutsy and aborted the update. [20:45] perillux1: That has to do with routing (you need to forward port 80 to your server), and then to be able to connect to your network, you likely want some sort of dyndns type thing, since your IP probably changes ocassionally [20:45] PowhatanBob: What do you mean? [20:45] SiDi, thanks for doing this [20:45] Galadx, Im not sure that anyone knows what you mean by saying 'comes up as a rar' [20:45] Jordan_U: will i have to change save folders for all apps? [20:45] Galadx: you need to be more specific about what you mean. 8.04 and 8.10 are releases. [20:45] PowhatanBob: Sorry, i meant: What videocard do you have? [20:45] I have an older 80gb ide drive with my Ubuntu installation, I would like to move this installation to a partition on a 1tb sata drive. Can I use dd to copy the drive without harming the system? [20:45] when i download it, its showing up as a rar file [20:45] nvidia 8600 [20:45] TheFunkbomb, no problem. That's something i got bothered with too, so i understand that you're being annoyed with it ;) [20:45] K-4U: Nvidia 8600 [20:46] PowhatanBob: Then you should be able to install the restricted drivers, and use the Nvidia control panel [20:46] SiDi, I'm still getting my feet in ubuntu but at least I'm moving forward :D [20:46] Galadx, if you mean to say that you downloaded a .iso file to your windows machine, and winrar is poping up when you click on the .iso Its because winrar has decided to bset it self as the default app for .iso files.. (which is not too handy) [20:46] Gnea: I am working on this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&highlight=Xinerama+ATI, will get back to you thanks..... [20:46] MHz128, it might copy the data but not sure it'll work, if the drives are mounted by uuid in /etc/fstab i'm not sure it'll work. [20:46] k-4u: I think i'm already using the restricted drivers, where would i find the control panel? [20:47] Bax, I'm inclined to think you have a typo in your sources, since I can see http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty* [20:47] jinja-sheep: I am :) [20:47] SiDi, is there any other way to accomplish this? [20:47] TheFunkbomb, that's the most important part :) Having an OS that you can learn how to use, not an OS that you have to undergo [20:47] PowhatanBob: Type sudo nvidia-settings [20:47] Galadx, you may want to download imgburn for burning iso files under windows. http://www.imgburn.com/ [20:47] dr_willis, ok, so if i burn it its still going to burn the same right? [20:47] Flannel: thank you! it works, i just forgot to forward port 80 thanks [20:47] smartguyz: awesome, good luck :) [20:47] MHz128, i think dd is the good way [20:47] SiDi, right. I like it so far [20:47] dr_willis, i have it already [20:48] MHz128, i just thought that you may have to check this file, if the HDD's are referred by UUID i think it depends on the HDD so you would have to change them (there is a command to get the UUID but i don't remember it) [20:48] yo [20:48] Galadx, your system has winrar set to load the .iso is the whole issue.. [20:48] PowhatanBob: In a terminal ofcourse, i think you knew i meant that? [20:48] hi! everything looks good on apache but i cant reach 127.0.0.1 on my browser... and telnet 127.0.0.1 80 is not working as well [20:48] Galadx, make imgburn the default app. [20:48] and Galadx, remember to md5sum check the .iso [20:48] SiDi, I need to run dd from a live disk correct? [20:48] how do i change it? [20:48] can someone confirm a bug for me? [20:48] ok [20:48] k-4u: guess i'm not using them, any idea if grandr will work? [20:48] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/315907 [20:48] Galadx, i dont do windows support. :) so no idea. [20:49] MHz128, yeh because it's not safe to run it from a system with files being used and modified [20:49] vinicius, what happens when you try this. sudo invoke-rc.d apache restart [20:49] 10 4 [20:49] dr_willis, I got it [20:49] MHz128, i never did it btw, i suggest you ask again and see if someone knows a good way to do it [20:49] ardchoille: See the PM. :) [20:49] vinicius, or perhaps. sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [20:49] PowhatanBob: System->Administration->Restricted Drivers [20:49] cmv583, All user preferences are stored in /home so they will just copy over with everything else, and it will still be mounted in the same place so no configuration ( beyond fstab, as explained in the instructions ) need be changed [20:49] jinja-sheep: got it :) [20:50] dr_willis, does installing ubuntu wipe my hard drives or do i have to do that first? [20:50] LLStarks, if you're under 9.04 i think you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:50] thanks [20:50] cmv583, For instance the path to your desktop will still be /home/you/Desktop it will simply be writing to the external HD rather than the internal [20:50] Galadx, depends on hwat you tell the installer to do. You can easially fdisk/delete the partitions first if you want === linxeh is now known as linxeh[ [20:50] Jordan_U: how do i backup? just in case? [20:50] nickrud: I copied pasted the deb address directly from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades, so I don't think it was a typo === Erol_ is now known as FrEaKmAn [20:51] TheFunkbomb, you need to extract the directory in the tar (anywhere, desktop for instance) [20:51] hi, i have a problem with wifi connection, can you help me? [20:51] dr_willis, so it will gimme the option? (I want to, i have a virus) I'm installing it on my laptop, this is my desktop [20:51] Bax, put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com . It's odd that it complains it can't find those [20:51] SiDi, so that would be tar xzf and the name of the tar? [20:52] TheFunkbomb, then you can just run the file named "setup" inside it. I suggest you run it from a console (open one, "cd Desktop/Open**(press the tab key for folder autocompletion)", and then "sh setup") [20:52] Galadx, the disk partitionign tool can delete the partitions.. [20:52] unop, same thing [20:52] PowhatanBob: Did you find it? [20:52] i can see wifi networks [20:52] TheFunkbomb, you can extract it graphically hehe :P [20:52] but when i try to connect to them [20:52] Galadx, or i recall it asking to 'use the whole drive' also [20:52] i have no idea how to do any of that [20:52] network manager shows some progress [20:52] Flannel: one last thing. Do you think it's a security risk for me to leave port 80 open all the time even though it will rarely be used? Or do you think it's fairly safe? [20:52] vinicius, does the command give you any output, error messages, etc ?? [20:52] but with noresult [20:52] !enter | zofia [20:52] zofia: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:53] I've tried and tried to get Ubuntu working (details soon), and I've looked around and realized many people are experiencing the same problem as I am; the item we had in common was our graphics card. I've got an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series. [20:53] unop, no, apache can start and stop with no problem aparently [20:53] K-4U: yes, thanks you, i'm actually trying to get the size of my screen set so i can use grandr [20:53] I've install Ubuntu perfectly fine. I see the login screen, and when I attempt to login, the screen goes black-ish (as if it's going well), then after a few seconds it returns to the login screen. No error message is supplied. [20:53] Any ideas? [20:53] dr_willis, Im still burni8nf the cd... the last cd i tried didn't work... i got errors... [20:53] TeleNubby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:53] TheFunkbomb, yes it's "tar -xzf filename.tar.gz" though ;) [20:53] perillux1, as long as the service listening on that port (httpd) is secured, it shouldn't be a problem. [20:53] PowhatanBob: yw ;) [20:53] ah ha. I didn't cd to the desktop [20:53] Galadx, i tnd to use unetbootin, and make bootable thumbdrives for my installs. [20:53] that's why it did nothing [20:53] TheFunkbomb, for the graphical method just drag n drop the folder inside the tar XD [20:53] cmv583, Note that because you are going to create the new partition on an external drive you do not have to resize any partitions, so there is no risk of data loss from resizing [20:53] vinicius, is apache running? ps aux | grep -i apache [20:54] what's the default sound package thing in ubuntu? Pulse or esound? [20:54] Okay, someone here who can tell me how to enable my webcam(a Trust WB-1400T) under Ubuntu 8.10? [20:54] Jacroe, Pulseaudio from 8.04 [20:54] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [20:54] K-4U, did you try easycam ? see easycam in help.ubuntu.com [20:54] unop, yes [20:54] SiDi, okay, so I have it unpacked on the desktop. Now what? [20:55] SiDi: Not yet, let's try [20:55] cmv583, You will have to change the directions to match what you are doing though, I can walk you through it but I may have to leave to do other things on short notice today [20:55] TheFunkbomb, you can run the "setup" file inside it ;) [20:55] vinicius, what ports is apache configured to listen on? grep Listen /etc/apache2/ports.conf [20:55] SiDi: err, wait, yes.. i tried.. but the packages don't fit.. these are for hardy, and i'm using intrepid [20:55] okay, I ran it in terminal and then terminal closed really quickly SiDi [20:55] i am not getting the app name autocomplete feature on the gnome-terminal [20:56] K-4U, let me check for the intrepid version on french wiki ;) [20:56] SiDi: okay, ty :) [20:56] TheFunkbomb, open a terminal and cd and then do "sh setup" so we see the error [20:56] wolter, When you hit tab does it enter an actual tab character? [20:56] wolter, try sourcing /etc/bash_completion [20:56] Jordan_U, no.. === Chousuke is now known as linxeh{ [20:56] unop, sourcing? === linxeh{ is now known as Chousuke [20:56] wolter, source /etc/bash_completion [20:56] unop: what do you mean by: as long as the service listening on that port (httpd) is secure? [20:56] nickrud: I now just give you this address http://paste.ubuntu.com/103270/, to see it, right? [20:56] Jordan_U: i'll take you up on that? [20:57] Baz_, yep [20:57] unop: I'm not sure if I have a service "listening" don't even know what that is. lol sorry [20:57] cmv583, OK [20:57] what just happened to the language packs? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/language-pack-es [20:57] 36KB? [20:57] unop, it worked! [20:57] ciao [20:57] hi, i have a problem with my wireless card, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212, i have 8.10 with latest kernel, i can see wifi networks, i can start connecting, but when my wifi is protected by wep i cannot connect to it, can you please help me? [20:57] K-4U, i think you can use this one, we got the hardy one only in our wiki too (the guy who devs it is french thus we have latest info on easycam) [20:57] Jordan_U: i can't access home from places [20:57] unop, will it work everytime i log in, or do i have to enter that command? [20:58] Hey there! Anyone have a second to help a newb? [20:58] cmv583, What happens when you try? [20:58] K-4U, i used it under intrepid for my lappy and i had no problem. Just don't forget to remove the repository once your webcam is installed [20:58] RapJones: just ask your question [20:58] SiDi, this is what I got: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103271/ [20:58] Does anyone here run Starcraft? If so, do you have any problems playing on BattleNet? [20:58] unop, 80 and 443 [20:58] is it unconvenient to make one's home partition ntfs? [20:58] perillux1, if you have a port open, it means a service is listening on that port .. port 80 is usually controlled by the httpd (apache perhaps) -- so as long as your httpd is not vulnerable to exploits and is properly secured, you should have nothing to worry about. [20:58] K-4U, easycam will only install your drivers but then you can remove it safely ;) [20:58] Bax, if sudo apt-get upgrade is giving you errors, then I don't know what's wrong with the repo, those are well formed lines [20:58] SiDi: I added it to my sources.list, but it said this:W: Ophalen van http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found is mislukt [20:58] !list [20:58] 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 [20:58] cNOOB: when i tried it in wine, I could never connect to BNet [20:58] Jordan_U: nothing [20:58] wolter, you'll have to run that command for every logon - to do that automatically - you'll need to put that command in your ~/.bashrc file [20:59] Just installed 8.10 on an HP Pavillion laptop. Says my wireless card is disabled. Can't figure out how to enable it. [20:59] TheFunkbomb, do you have Java installed ? I mean java jre 6, not OpenJDK that is installed by default ? [20:59] cmv583, Can you open nautilus ( the file browser ) at all? [20:59] vinicius, perhaps your firewall is blocking connection attempts to port 80 then? do you have a firewall running? [20:59] TheFunkbomb, (btw the repository method really is more simple :D ) [20:59] Oh okay, thanks...not sure if I should get it then... [20:59] unop: I'm not sure if, or how to secure it though. I'll understand if it's too much to explain here, I could look it up myself if u want. [20:59] Oh yeah, I have to install java... [20:59] hi all, can someone please help me install a font in Konsole ? I can't figure out how to do this. [20:59] yo. [20:59] Jordan_U: not sure? [20:59] K-4U, hm the guy's repo is down. Let me have a look [20:59] is there a way to force-reprobe all devices? [20:59] is it just me or does firefox lose antialiasing when moving a tab? [20:59] blip-: you install fonts system-wide, not in konsole [21:00] blip-, i just copyu the fonts to my .fonts dir and select the proper front from the Konsole menus [21:00] Gnea, I had no luck, never could switch to generic, I am about ready to burn a reg ubuntu iso and start from scratch [21:00] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:00] cmv583, Are there any folders you can access? [21:00] Can someone help me enable my wireless card in 8.10 on a HP Pavillion laptop? [21:00] unop, i dont think i have one... [21:00] <_dark__> don't suppose anybody knows how to the the trust tb-4200 tablet to work with ubuntu? I can move the mousepointer with it, but I can't use any functions like draw [21:00] nickrud: here my readout after executing that terminal command, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103272/ [21:00] unop, ps aux returns nothing like a firewall to me [21:00] unop, how can i make sure? [21:00] SiDi, let me install Java jre6 [21:00] diskmount: :( make sure you have a good backup first... [21:01] TheFunkbomb, don't forget to remove OpenJDK before to avoid conflicts ;) [21:01] it [21:01] vinicius, sudo iptables -L # if iptables is in use [21:01] oh boy [21:01] K-4U, can you tell me what webcam you have ? i'll try to find the drivers on his webby [21:01] now I'm going to be lost lol [21:01] italy [21:01] Gnea only thing I NEED to save somehow is all the damn work you and I did on getting the echo mia to work properly! [21:01] Bax, that looks really good. now try sudo apt-get update , which is what I should have said the first time :) [21:01] the font i want to install in this case came with BiCon terminal and it's a .psfu.gz extension... can i just copy it to .fonts dr_willis ? [21:01] hi all... got an ubuntu question [21:01] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu server with open ssh and chrooting, I'd like to figure out how to assign a group to a directory so everyone in the group can add and modify things in the directory? [21:01] vinicius, sudo ufw status # if ufw is in use, i think - i am not sure about this one tho [21:01] SiDi: I have a Trust WB-1400T, yes i know.. linux doesn't like it [21:01] Bax, if that completes properly, you're good to try the upgrade-manager [21:01] Can someone help me enable my wireless card in 8.10 on a HP Pavillion? [21:01] Jordan_U: everything from comp. down in places menu. i can use apps that are in apps menu. and system is fine [21:01] TheFunkbomb, are you SURE you don't want to add this simple repository to get OOo ? :p [21:02] does ubuntu 8.10 support SLI? [21:02] blip-, try it and see? kde also used to have the special fonts:// or was it fonts:\\\ location in its file manager [21:02] SiDi, I'd love to take the easy way out but I need to learn this [21:02] dr_willis, the former [21:02] how can I start GDM after I've disabled it in the 'Services' [21:02] Gnea, maybe the grub thing isnt crucial, I just need to uninstall the generic kernels and reinstall all the 3 rt things I deleted [21:02] k thanks dr_willis [21:02] SiDi, OpenJDK is not installed [21:02] woody86, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [21:02] diskmount: i can't even remember it at this point.... do you have an account on ubuntuforums.org? [21:02] ahem, i'm sorry K-4U but it's not in the compatible list :( [21:03] can anyone point me to being able to interface with a phone through linux support? I heard it could be done but don't know how [21:03] SiDi: Whut? I had it working.. once.. it was.. 7.04 i think [21:03] hey, can anyone answer my question about SLI in 8.10? [21:03] unop, ok, and how can I make it the default? [21:03] !dialup | gbear14275 [21:03] gbear14275: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [21:03] Jordan_U: after changing bios i have annoying white box on monitor! LOL [21:03] Gnea, no, its no biggee, I just need to know what 3 things I need to reinstall, I know one was like rt-kernel, and there were 2 others, none ended in numbers [21:03] cmv583, OK, if you ever want to get to your home directory you can get always get there by going through "File System" then to home/yourUserName [21:03] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:03] SiDi, would Openjdk be a program that comes installed on ubuntu stock? [21:03] Why does ubuntu opens up the file manager when i login??? [21:03] здрасти [21:03] K-4U, its not in the list of easycam's compatible cams so it won't work from you = no need to go further with easycam, you'll have to find the drivers the usual way :/ [21:03] thebigham, i woudl guess you saved a session with one open. [21:04] diskmount: well, I ask because, if you want to write it down, you should do it there so that way you can remember and it will help others [21:04] I had wireless before, I ran kismet and now after I rebooted I have no wireless detected [21:04] woody86, sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults [21:04] TheFunkbomb, it's an opensource version of Java [21:04] cmv583, But you don't need to do that to move your /home, we will be using the terminal anyway [21:04] no card listed at all [21:04] good afternoon, can somebody help me with some dvd playback problems [21:04] Javier: what sort of problems? [21:04] dr_wills, how do i unsave it????? [21:04] SiDi: Okay... not good.. someone told me the gspcav modules.. [21:04] TheFunkbomb, actually java comes 95% openSource but the 5% remaining requires an EULA so it's not installed by default [21:04] and trying desperatly to configure samba [21:04] Im haveing trouble configureing samba on an ubuntu server 8.10. I can never seem to get my shares to work. Vista tells me that the share is unavailable, and xp asks me for a password, but nothing works! This is my third round of trying to get samba to work. Any help? please?? [21:04] Jordan_U: ok that worked [21:04] How come i can no longer see my Font files (*.ttf), i used to be able to preview/see them in Hardy Heron but now i can't in Intrepid Ibex. [21:04] K-4U, well i wish you good luck with it. [21:04] when i try to play a dvd totem turns gray and stops working [21:04] !samba | LinuxLover4_ [21:04] LinuxLover4_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:05] Stargazer, they were probably uninstalled in the upgrade process ? a guess [21:05] TheFunkbomb, go to System > Administration > Software sources [21:05] unop, that said it 'etc/init.d/gdm missing LSB style header' [21:05] !fonts | Stargazer [21:05] Stargazer: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [21:05] LinuxLover4 there is also the 'samba-doc' package that has books on confguring samba. :) I basicially install the samba server, edit /etc/smb.conf to be the proper Workgroup. and enable the HOME shares.. i then give each linux user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' [21:06] w755 [21:06] Gnea is linux generic headers one of the things I can remove [21:06] Gnea: w755 [21:06] TheFunkbomb, i'll make you do what i exactly did to get OOo, which i use flawlessly :) [21:06] is it normal to have two scim-launcher's running, one for gtk+ apps, the other for qt apps, especially in kubuntu? [21:06] ok sorry [21:06] diskmount: you can, but i wouldn't recommend it [21:06] Jordan_U: sorry about pm.:-[ [21:06] gbear14275: i don't know who makes that [21:06] cmv583, np [21:06] when i try to play a dvd with totem it turns gray and stops wprking [21:06] hello [21:06] why would a wireless card completely drop from the list of detected devices on a notebook? [21:06] woody86, hmm, try enabling it the same way you disabled it then -- if that gives the same error, you might want to reinstall gdm. [21:06] I had this happen before and I had to reinstall for it to come back [21:06] cmv583, OK, first you need to make your external drive one large ext3 partition, you can do that with a program called gparted either from the installed system or from the Ubuntu CD ( it comes by default on the CD, you need to install it if you want to use it on a default installed system ) [21:06] hey guys, i have a problem with my wireless on an acer aspire 3680. the jockey hardware drivers dialog installed drivers without a problem, but network manager doesn't seem to notice it. [21:07] gbear14275: and next time you say 'phone', make sure you say 'cellphone', because, believe it or not, landlines are still out there and plenty in use :) [21:07] Jordan_U: i'm new to linux but anxious to learn [21:07] Gnea but I need to go ahead and reinstal linux-image-rt [21:07] so I have an ubuntu machine that used to run as a desktop but now it is headless... how to I turn X off and stop it from restarting itself [21:07] diskmount: is it asking if you want to uninstall the headers? [21:07] ifconfig shows i have 3 interfaces; lo, eth0, eth1. eth1 is clearly the wireless card [21:07] unop, well 'Services' are greyed out, and I can't unlock it either [21:07] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:07] is there a log of the root partition decryption at boot time? [21:07] SiDi, I'm trying to install Java 6 now [21:07] SiDi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103239/ <-- this is the error [21:07] TheFunkbomb, once you opened "Sources of software" window (in System > Administration) go to "3rd party software" tab and click on Add+ [21:07] Unop, it's not that i don't know how to install them it's just i can no longer preview the font... in hardy i could double click the font file and a window would pop open with some text showing me different sizes of the text and symbols. [21:08] Gnea: sorry, motorola [21:08] iwlist scan says all interfaces don't support scanning [21:08] Gnea no, last night I was working with flannel and we uninstalled 3 rt things, modules, rt, and something elese [21:08] what do i do guys [21:08] Jordan_U: i won't lose anything on there? [21:08] Stargazer, ahh, sorry, no idea then === john is now known as Guest56884 [21:08] someone just told me a command about d message or something in terminal... what is it? [21:08] nvm [21:08] woody86, reinstall gdm perhaps. sudo aptitude reinstall gdm [21:08] cmv583, You will loose any data on the external drive [21:08] is there any dificulties in using an ntfs partition as home? [21:08] gbear14275, you mean 'dmesg' ? [21:08] gbear14275: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=848671 [21:09] wolter, in short DONT don it. [21:09] K-4U, i'm saving it. If you find the working drivers, you can find me on this irc and let me know and i'll post at the dev's blog [21:09] my wireless is no longer showing up in dmesg at all [21:09] SiDi, now I can't get Java6 to install :( [21:09] Jordan_U: thats where i have been saving everything to!!!!!!!!!! [21:09] dr_willis: yup, thanks [21:09] Jordan_U: ouch [21:09] wolter, if you need easy access to a ntfs parittion from home. make a link to it. [21:09] dr_willis, so i installed it, and im going through the setup, will it ask to partition the drives? [21:09] SiDi: I will do my best ;) [21:09] Gnea, I found it, if I reinstall linux-rt, it auto isnalls the images and modules [21:09] TheFunkbomb, ok let's solve Java then and then i tell you how to install OOo's repository :p [21:09] дAдAд [21:09] dr_willis, yeah.. [21:09] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:09] :) hi folks [21:09] cmv583, Well that makes things a bit trickier :) [21:09] diskmount: hm, okay... [21:09] Gnea: THANKS! thats awesome [21:09] SiDi, okay [21:09] Jordan_U: lol [21:09] gbear14275: cheers [21:09] Galadx, it should.. read what the isntaller says and see. i recall it asking 'use all of the disk' and other questions [21:09] SiDi, I untarred the tar and now I have a folder with two files in it [21:09] hi...i just reinstalled my OS (8.04) and am trying to set up wireless...can anyone help? [21:10] does Ubuntu do a complete device redetection on reboot? [21:10] nickrud: grrr, getting the same messages from the update manager. The readout I got from sudo apt-get update didn't look that positive, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103274/ [21:10] TheFunkbomb, you need to stop downloading stuff. That's not how Ubuntu works :) [21:10] SiDi, both are .bin files [21:10] lasivian: yes. [21:10] cmv583, Do you know what the external is formatted as ( ext3, fat, ntfs ) ? [21:10] TheFunkbomb, open the "Add/Remove" window (in Applications menu) [21:10] Jordan_U: boils down to memory and an uneducated decision when first installing ubuntu and ditching windoze. [21:10] hi, my sound worked than i guess got killed in an update. ubuntu 8.10 amd64. can someone whose sound works go into system preferences sound and tell me what it says? so actually it makes sound, but its just crackling [21:10] Gnea: so if it's not detecting something after a reboot that device has a problem? [21:10] SiDi, okay, I did that. === drunky is now known as Guest51081 [21:10] unop, humn... no ufw command here :p [21:10] Jordan_U: vfat [21:11] lasivian: quite possibly. what does it seem to not be detecting? [21:11] and type "openjdk" there to check for openJDK first, and then type "java" and take the Sun Java6 jre ;) TheFunkbomb [21:11] Gnea: Atheros wireless, I had put it into monitor mode previously tho [21:11] Bax, no, that all looks good. What's going on is you have a wine source in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ . You can edit that file and put a # at the beginning of each line. Then run sudo apt-get update and you should have no errors. [21:11] Hi people. Anybody knows what mdadm --build does? My first HDD is full, so I bought second (the same). Now, I want to create software RAID0, but I don't have any hdd place to backup data [21:11] lasivian: nothing from iwconfig? [21:11] Gnea: dmesg now contains nothing regarding the wireless [21:11] Gnea: not listed [21:11] SiDi, okay, openJDK is not installed [21:11] Jordan_U: brb [21:11] lasivian: is it builtin to a laptop or pluggable? [21:11] Gnea: this happened once before and I had to reinstall to fix it [21:12] laptop, Aspire One [21:12] cmv583, Then you will have to resize it and risk loosing data, you can't have your /home on vfat :( [21:12] lasivian: isn't there a function key that turns the wireless on/off? [21:12] I've got an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 series GFX card. At Ubuntu login, once entered the correct auth info., a black screen shows up and I'm looped back to the login screen. Any ideas? [21:12] lasivian: usually when it's off, the kernel will not see it [21:12] nickrud: is wine what's making upgrading so difficult? [21:12] Gnea: not thqat i'm aware of, nor a setting in Bios [21:12] Bax, quite likely [21:13] lasivian: FN+F4 perhaps? [21:13] Why do I get "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. - Click here to find out more " message on my Ubuntu login screen ? [21:13] SiDi, now when I search for java, I don't see Java jre6 [21:13] Hello, I got a problem to fix skype in ubuntu 8.10 x 64. Can anyone help me?:) [21:13] yea about updates and killing ..i had that problem today with virtual box and had to recompile the kernel with this code '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [21:13] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:13] Gnea: that's sleep mode [21:13] how can I burn a dvd that I ripped? Is there a special way to this? [21:13] Can the supergrub use any font? [21:13] Bax, third party packages are nearly always the problem with upgrading between releases. You might consider removing it and reinstalling after completing the upgrades [21:14] lasivian: oops.. is there another button? [21:14] hi, my sound worked than i guess got killed in an update. ubuntu 8.10 amd64. can someone whose sound works go into system preferences sound and tell me what it says? so actually it makes sound, but its just crackling [21:14] TeleNubby, on my old x2oom system i had to use the vesa drivers - untill i could get the fglrx drivers going.. but i did not see that issue with 8.10 - You may want to install the fglrx drivers from the command line. Or try to edit the xorg.conf to have4 it use vesa instead of ati for a short term fix [21:14] Gnea: this is EXACTLY what happens: there is a switch in the front, but that is supposedly disabled in Ubuntu [21:14] Jordan_U: can i put stuff i want saved in one file, compress, and save that file on int. HDD to open later and access? [21:14] er, sorry, meant to paste a link [21:14] Hello, I got a problem to fix skype in ubuntu 8.10 x 64. Can anyone help me?:) [21:14] dr_willis: How would I go about using the Vesa drivers? [21:14] cmv583, Yes, if it will all fit [21:14] lasivian: if it's disabled in ubuntu, then perhaps you need to press it before ubuntu boots up? [21:15] TeleNubby, edit xorg.conf like i sayd :) but that may not work any more properly under 8.10 [21:15] !fglrx [21:15] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:15] lasivian: like, turn it on, press the wifi key and wait [21:15] Gnea: aye, testing that now, I think it only mattered to the previous "Linpus" OS [21:15] or, if it is not supergrub, which is the boot utility that lets you choose between installed OSs that can have backgrounds and stuff? [21:15] FONDELL one second;-) [21:15] lasivian: ah [21:15] Is there no font viewer in Intrepid Ibex ? [21:15] so, i just reinstalled 8.04 after a failed upgrade and can't get a wireless connection at all. am also not seeing any wireless options on the network manager [21:15] !find gfont [21:15] Found: x11proto-xf86bigfont-dev [21:15] Gnea: this is exactly my problem: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/laptop-support/326244-aspire-one-wireless-card-dissapears.html [21:15] TheFunkbomb, sec gonna check [21:15] dr_willis: I'm new to Ubuntu; trying to get away from slow Windows. I really have no idea when it comes down to editing the xorg.conf file to use Vesa drivers instead of my current. [21:16] Gnea: I think it might be related to the notebook more than Ubuntu [21:16] Batyuk: you might want to read http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm, it contains a fairly extensive part on raid too [21:16] hi everyone :) [21:16] Stargazer, I like waterfall [21:16] wolter: grub? [21:16] TheFunkbomb, just type t [21:16] TeleNubby, thats why i sugested installing the fglrx drivers from the console. Check the link the bot gives from the !ati factoid [21:16] FONDELL try this :Went into Options Menu -> Sound devices [21:16] Changed to the following [21:16] Sound In: HDA Intel (hw:intel,0) [21:16] Sound Out: Pulse [21:16] Ringer: Pulse [21:16] litong: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:16] FireFox||, can grub support image backgrounds and custom fonts? [21:16] TheFunkbomb, just type Java then (sorry me having trouble with keyboard :x) [21:16] Stargazer, gwaterfall that is [21:16] sory [21:16] If I select the second option for partitioning my drives, does that delete my old files? [21:16] TeleNubby, its very likely you cant just edit the xorg.conf any more - its gotten to be a very minimal config file [21:17] Oh? [21:17] lasivian: so wait, is it disappearing when you hibernate or put it to sleep? [21:17] !ati factoid [21:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about ati factoid [21:17] !ati [21:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:17] wolter: I think Lilo is more graphical [21:17] Hello, I got a problem to fix skype in ubuntu 8.10 x 64. Can anyone help me?:) [21:17] SiDi, Java6 JRE does not show up [21:17] Gnea: not that I can remember [21:17] i imagine no one has 'the second option' memorised.. :) [21:17] Galadx, yes [21:17] TheFunkbomb, you should *always* use Add/Remove to add applications except for alls that are not inside Ubuntu (windows apps for instance, or OOo 3) [21:17] TheFunkbomb, what shows up exactly ? Java Runtime 6 ? [21:17] Gnea: Only on reboot, sometimes I could bring it back by total shutdown+battery removal [21:17] lasivian: well, according to that link you pasted, that's what's going on [21:17] Hello, I got a problem to fix skype in ubuntu 8.10 x 64. Can anyone help me?:) Whisper me PLEASE! [21:18] dr_willis, it said something about using the whole drive I think, then it had a bubble option under it [21:18] lasivian: could be bad wiring [21:18] hi, anybody here mplayer savvy? channel mplayer is kinda slow [21:18] Oh i know why TheFunkbomb. There is a little list next to the input area [21:18] SiDi, OpenJDK, Archive manager, Openoffice database and a few things [21:18] Jordan_U: what do i compress with? [21:18] unop, hey thanks! it worked :) [21:18] TheFunkbomb, it's written "Apps maintained by Canonical", right ? [21:18] wolter: check out this link http://maddhat.com/?p=28 [21:18] SiDi, yes [21:18] Gnea: Both times it's refused to come back have been after I have run Kismet [21:18] lasivian: usually there's just a pair of small leads going to the wifi chip... one of them could've been bumped out of socket, so it's barely touching it now [21:18] TheFunkbomb, switch to "All applications" [21:18] hi, if i try to play a dvd via vlc it shows the title of the dvd shortly and then there is the blank vlc screen again.... [21:18] !repeat | fondell [21:18] fondell: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:18] alo folks :D [21:18] Is the ReiserFS supposed to run fsck EVERY startup? [21:19] FireFox||, I think lilo is what i need [21:19] SiDi, that did it [21:19] Gnea: No, this is a mini-pci socket. But the ONLY two times i've run kismet the network has not returned [21:19] wolter, why would you want LILO over GRUB? [21:19] SiDi, Java6 is already installed [21:19] woody86, volumes are checked for consistency at every startup - but a full fsck is only carried out every so-many boots [21:19] i'm starting to think maybe a command was sent to the wireless that turned it off [21:19] any ideas why my vlc cannot play dvd? [21:19] Jordan_U: how do i make a 7 gig folder? [21:19] and I can;t get it back on [21:20] TheFunkbomb, ah great :D [21:20] Nickrud, i want to preview the font files... not the ones i have already installed [21:20] Jordan_U: or can i? [21:20] beli, check the path of the links in /dev/dvd /dev/cdrom and so forth. make sure they are correct. [21:20] dr_willis, because it can provide a nicer interface... should I use grub for some reason [21:20] ? [21:20] SiDi, okay, lets do it the repository way [21:20] hey guyz i am trying to instal the gtk+ source file and i have already installed the pre-requirement but when i run sudo make it gives an error: [21:20] ../../../modules/other/gail/gailutil.h:62: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘AtkMisc’ [21:20] ../../../modules/other/gail/gailutil.h:69: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘AtkMiscClass’ [21:20] TheFunkbomb, then let's give up your .tar.gz openoffice for now, and do it the easy way ;P [21:20] wolter, nicer interface? You are a bit confused. :) [21:20] I mean Open office [21:20] SiDi, agreed [21:20] Stargazer, ah. No, I don't know any tool that shows uninstalled fonts. [21:20] TheFunkbomb, open "Sources of software" in System > administration [21:20] can anybody help me? I cannot suspend/hibernate my computer. got an intel core 2 duo & ATI hd4850. when trying to resume my computer never comes back completely. I only see the baground gui and my mouse (after suspend) [21:20] wolter, lilo is old. and problemnatic. and grub has basically replaced it on Every disrto out.. for good reason [21:20] Stargazer, except finding samples on the web [21:20] dr_willis, am i? Doesn't lilo provide image support and stuff? [21:20] SiDi, done [21:20] wolter, not that i recall. [21:21] dr_willis, does grub? [21:21] dr_willis: i am in the cdrom group....vlc shows the title of the dvd for short...so paths seem to be ok [21:21] wolter, grub can display images and look purty [21:21] wolter, yes [21:21] Ok . . . one more samba question...I installed swat, and I can access my shares in windows and read them. I just cant write to them. How can I allow write from an unathenticated user??? [21:21] TheFunkbomb, go to "3rd party software" tab and click on Add [21:21] SiDi, done [21:21] wolter, i always disalbe that useless eyecandy [21:21] unop, cause if mine isn't on battery power, it adds another 10 secs to the startup, and it says 'Running fsck' but I don't know if this is checking the volumes, or is a full fsck? [21:21] lasivian: right, most minipci wireless cards have a pair of wires with little leads on them that clamp onto the card. [21:21] LinuxLover4_, you need to enable 'guest' writeable some how. i recall [21:21] dr_willis, where can i see how to do it? [21:21] TheFunkbomb, put this "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" [21:22] wolter, grub is documented all over the place. Grub homepage for starters I guess.. [21:22] !splash [21:22] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [21:22] TheFunkbomb, you're on 8.04 or 8.10 ? [21:22] !usplash [21:22] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [21:22] SiDi, 8.10 [21:22] всем привет [21:22] woody86, a full fsck would probably take much longer than that - i guess that's just a consistency check then (which is not done when running on batter power) [21:22] бля тут пиндосы [21:22] Alright it's that, then, TheFunkbomb :) [21:22] !ru | GenuAliEn [21:22] GenuAliEn: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:22] SiDi, okay, now what? [21:22] dr_willis: im sharing /home , so I want to be able to write into /home/user do I need anything else?? user permissions or something?? [21:22] cmv583, You can select all of the files, ( or the directory they are in ), right click and choose "archive" [21:22] could someone help me to install wolfenstein enemy territory on ubuntu 64bit?, i keep getting the error message [21:22] TheFunkbomb, now you can go back to Add/Remove, don't forget to actualise the list of apps, and you can install it :D [21:23] teste [21:23] Gnea: aye, those are the antenna leads [21:23] This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / unknown === roberto is now known as Guest52439 [21:23] LinuxLover4_, that sounds very insecure.. I always set up a specific 'anyone' share - that lets anyone read/wriet to it.. I wouldent want to allow unrestricted access to /home/username [21:23] unop, even though it's the reiserFS? I heard they do fsck really quickly since it's a journaling FS [21:23] dr_willis: i can mount the dvd....and walk to the media files and play them....but wth is vlc not playing it....its an original movie dvd [21:23] anyone here ever use idjc? [21:24] beli, check the dvd settings - or tell vlc to play the directory perhaps? [21:24] SiDi, okay, now I'm getting the red arrow saying I have software updates [21:24] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:24] dr_willis: what kinda dvd settings? [21:24] SiDi, should I install all of them? [21:24] lasivian: so what about updating the bios? i'm guessing you've gone through this... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [21:24] TheFunkbomb, when you'll install it, or when you'll have updates for openoffice, you may receive messages saying that the source you're downloading the packages from has not been verified. You should not get worried about that, it's downloaded from launchpad.net, which belongs to Canonical [21:24] could someone help me to install wolfenstein? i keep getting error message " This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86_64" [21:24] i need help trying to set up wireless on 8.04...can anyone help? [21:24] woody86, sure, the process takes time - same as with ext3 - which is also a journalled file system. [21:24] TheFunkbomb, yes ;) [21:24] hrrm, I did the package for madwifi tools [21:24] TheFunkbomb, it's OOo3 [21:25] beli, vlc has a lot of settings. it may be doing somthing odd.. ive never had issues with play ing dvd - but i do tend to just play the dvd's from .iso files :) [21:25] dr_willis: its a home server, my family doesnt know how to do anything. . . . but i need to share /home so i can upload files to either user. its ubuntu server no gui, so i need to upload fiels remotely [21:25] dr_willis, is the gnome-splashcreen-manager for the boot image and interface in general? [21:25] dr_willis ;) [21:25] SiDi, even the files like Uno runtime environment? [21:25] i cannot suspend/hibernate my computer. got an intel core 2 duo & ATI hd4850. when trying to resume my computer never comes back completely. I only see the baground gui and my mouse (after suspend) - anyone knows any help? [21:25] help :( [21:25] anybody have a recommendation for a backup system for home computer? [21:25] FIRFORTHESUN ndswrapper, madwifi, wpa_suplicant, try it worked for me. [21:25] Here goes nothing === SchneeSchwarz_ is now known as SchneeSchwarz [21:25] TheFunkbomb, yes it's needed by OpenOffice [21:25] unop, ok. Thanks :) [21:25] Gnea: yes, that's the tutorial I built it with last week [21:25] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:26] hi, i have downloaded http://videos.ubuntu.com/development/german_packaging-jam-berlin_part1.ogm. when i open it with totem, it only plays the sound, but no movie. hints? [21:26] thanks! [21:26] SiDi, I can't thank you enough for your help :D [21:26] TheFunkbomb, i think there are 2/3 things that OOo will ask when it updates because it relays on it [21:26] LinuxLover4_, yu could make a open share. and just link it to some place in each users home. that way both users can easially access the share. it would need to have a very open 'permissions' on it. [21:26] lasivian: hrm, okay... i'm not sure what else to suggest then :/ perhaps someone else knows [21:26] SiDi, okay. [21:26] 62 updates lol [21:26] Where is the Dell ubuntu channel? [21:26] TheFunkbomb, you're more than welcome. Sorry for having you get messed with that tar.gz file ;P [21:26] Gnea: thanks for trying [21:26] please help :( its saturday and im at home really bored, i just want to install wolfenstein :( [21:26] good luck [21:26] FireFox||, i don't think there is any === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [21:26] LinuxLover4_, the samba-doc books proberly detail more info on making public shares and the things to lookout for.. then i will ever rember. :) [21:26] lasivian: np, good luck [21:26] I need some help with sounds in Ubuntu 8.10 I didn't find something useful for me on the google.... After I am loggin in the sounds of clicking etc are not working [21:26] PrebenR: create a script that will backup your files? maybe synch files using rsynch etc just an idea [21:26] hi, [21:26] SiDi, no problem, that was my fault. I should have listened to you in the first place [21:26] hey i wish to add a launcher to my desktop bar which launches an application with sudo [21:26] how do i do so? [21:27] Hello [21:27] !sudo [21:27] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [21:27] It's ok TheFunkbomb :p You just need to leave the windows habits;) [21:27] dr_willis: ok, putting security issues aside, i still need to be able to enable public write?? could you give me a link for the samba-doc book? [21:27] dummheit, make the launcher launch 'gksu commandtorun' [21:27] SiDi, I sure do. [21:27] ahhh thx [21:27] smerz, yes, but wondered if there was already something like this and perhaps a bit more advanced so one can rolleback also for some directories? [21:27] can someone help me with this? "This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86_64" [21:27] apt-cache showpkg does not accept globs. how do I achieve the equivalent of `apt-cache showpkg linux-restricted-modules*' ? [21:27] how do i get multiple monitor support for ubuntu? I'm on 64bit too [21:27] LinuxLover4_, samba-doc is a ubuntu package you isntall that has 4+ books IN it. :) that will get installed locally [21:27] !info samba-doc [21:27] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 (intrepid), package size 7768 kB, installed size 15976 kB [21:28] Sidi, I hope this fixes my issues with OOO2.4 [21:28] dummheit, you need to give him admin powers [21:28] ok === Guest51081 is now known as DRNK-E [21:28] thansk dr_willis [21:28] dummheit, go to system / Users & groups / choose your user, go to properties, then privileges tab and chose what powers he/she shall be granted [21:28] nickrud: I # all of the wine lists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, but I still get this message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103280/] and then this message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103281/]. Should I just uninstall wine? [21:28] PrebenR: you want to backup directories to where? [21:28] TheFunkbomb, what were the issues ? [21:28] gksu wont run [21:28] PrebenR: whats the target [21:28] I have been having this bug with Ubunut for a while now, some of my programs (like xchat, audacity) do not remember settings that I input, and it seems as though my computer just freezes randomly [21:28] This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86_64... help :( [21:28] why isnt it possible to make it ask for the password like synaptic for example? [21:28] smerz, external usb HDD (500Gb) [21:28] SiDi, the bar on the top with file/edit/etc just showed dashes [21:29] TheFunkbomb, if you need help for your locale's dictionnaries in OpenOffice, i highly recommand to use DicOOo (you can find it on the web) [21:29] Anyone design metacity themes? [21:29] TheFunkbomb, hm never saw this issue [21:29] not me :X [21:29] I've got a 64bit ubuntu, but need flash player... :S [21:29] it works [21:29] SiDi, if 3.0 doesn't solve it, I'll take a screen grab. I'm hoping it isn't a GPU issue [21:29] dr_willis, what you were trying to show me is gfxboot [21:29] i saw a thread in ubuntu forum about how to install the flash player i think [21:29] mib_e8dt45, flash player works fine in 64 bit ubuntu [21:29] dummheit, What do you mean by "gksu won't run"? [21:29] anyone here worked with python+cairo? [21:30] dummheit, the user needs to be granted the rights to use stuff such as gksudo, sudo, etc, through this very menu, before they can use those binaries to do stuff as "superuser" [21:30] TheFunkbomb, i hope so too. Did you ever install your GPU drivers tho ? [21:30] This is just what I needed, another reason to sit on my computer. [21:30] There is no need for a forum thread, flash player works fine in ubuntu 64 if you install the appropiate package instead of installing manually [21:30] PrebenR: how? i cant find an install [21:30] gksu kvm -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda /home/dummheit/Qemu.img -boot c -soundhw all [21:30] can someone help me to install wolfenstein in 64bit architecture? keep guetting This installation doesn't support glibc-2.0 on Linux / x86_64 [21:30] SiDi, I believe they were installed under the restricted drivers jockey thing [21:30] this is what i wish to be launched [21:30] Jordan_U: ok whenever you're ready. [21:30] I just install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and flash worked on my 64bit machines [21:31] mib_mpwr98, which version of ubuntu? [21:31] latest [21:31] cmv583, You sure you have everything backed up? [21:31] I have submitted a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/313515 and it got changed from incomplete -> new and now for some reason -> incomplete and I don't know why [21:31] just downloaded it today [21:31] TheFunkbomb, you'll see, it's damn uber very hard to install the drivers for the GPU :) Just go to "System > Admin > Peripheral's drivers" (or something similar, i'm not using english ubuntu ;P), and activate the drivers ubuntu suggests [21:31] help me :( [21:31] how do you install xubuntu on ubuntu? [21:31] Agemaniac: I guess your problem comes from the application/game you want to install - so you might better ask the people who distribute that [21:31] TheFunkbomb, it's the same thing that for java. If the drivers were opensource you would have them already installed, but they're not activated because proprietary [21:31] PrebenR: is that external disk always connected? [21:32] cmv583, If so, first boot from a liveCD and rejoin this channel [21:32] thebigham, install xubuntu-desktop package [21:32] smerz, yes but not mounted [21:32] SiDi, they're activated [21:32] PrebenR: if it's a server thats always running i would suggest scripts and crontab [21:32] TheFunkbomb, alright then :) Is the update finished now ? [21:32] understand what i mean? i wish to have a nice launcher for my windows qemu file so i dont have to type the complete stuff each time [21:32] Jordan_U: no have no more room on my int. HDD so i guess. i need to change boot seq. to do that right? [21:32] SiDi, I think it has to be OpenOffice because everything else works perfectly [21:32] but it only runs without sudo command [21:32] SiDi, almost done [21:32] i still cant figure out flash :( [21:32] wireless still not working. when i click on the two screens icon on the taskbar, it only gives me a "manual configuration" option [21:32] smerz, ok will make a home grown system [21:33] PrebenR: you could create monthly weekly cycle [21:33] Agemaniac: this might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712126 [21:33] i know it works in 32 bit plataform guntbert, i have heard it is possible to install on 64bit also but i havent find anything so far on internet [21:33] TheFunkbomb, you use Ubuntu, not K/Xubuntu ? [21:33] "kvm -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda /home/dummheit/Qemu.img -boot c -soundhw all" will work but "gksu kvm -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda /home/dummheit/Qemu.img -boot c -soundhw all" won't [21:33] PrebenR: it's just really simple and straightforward. I wouldnt know any other solution [21:33] SiDi, yes, Ubuntu Intrepid === Guest41690 is now known as |error| [21:33] thanks, ill take a look :) [21:33] smerz, as a user can I get a scrip to run shutdown in ubuntu? [21:34] What is the cpu load for an idle Windows guest running in VirtualBox? I'm getting 20-25% and a load of >1.2 [21:34] What is the usual cpu load* [21:34] SiDi, same issue with OpenOffice. I'll take a screen grab and show you [21:34] PrebenR: scripts running from crontab can be run as root [21:34] hey, i just enabled compiz and everything is working except the cube. whenever i try to enable the cube, when i click on another desktop in the lower right corner nothing happens [21:34] cmv583, If you don't have enough room on your internal then you will need to resize your fat partition ( with a low but existent chance of file loss ) rather than getting rid of it, either way you need to boot from the LiveCD, if the boot order is already set to CD first then just reboot with the CD in, if not then yes you will need to change the boot order [21:34] Agemaniac: thats my google link, good luck :-) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wolfenstein+ubuntu+64+bit&btnG=Search [21:34] helloooo [21:34] the desktop doesnt even switch, its like its frozen [21:35] tab1293, do you have Rotate Cube enabled? [21:35] thanks ^^ [21:35] Jordan_U: brb [21:35] TheFunkbomb, after the install is done, open Synaptics (system/administration) and search for the package named "openoffice.org-gnome" [21:35] i want to launch a kvm / qemu engine with sudo but from my panel, without having to type the command every time, how do i do? [21:35] PrebenR: or create a user with a locked account that can use sudo without authentication. (user account locked & login shell /bin/false) [21:35] smerz, I mean if I start a backup script (as user) before going to bed and leave it to run until it finished [21:35] archivator: ahh that did it, thanks [21:35] how can i add osx to grub, it located at /dev/sda1 [21:35] what command is it that allows you to execute a program over ssh and exit your ssh session with that program still running? [21:35] I'm trying to modify a metacity theme: I want to make the window border wider. It's hard to resize windows with a 1px border. [21:35] archivator: really depends on what processes are running in the background in winodws [21:35] archivator: an idle windows, with no strange stuff running in the background, should be quite minimal [21:35] archivator: check the task manager in windows and see if it's 25% there? [21:35] PrebenR: well you can run the script as root. just use sudo to run the script [21:36] also do i need the simple compiz manager to run compiz? [21:36] PrebenR: since you wrote it yourself we can consider it trustworthy :) [21:36] SiDi, okay, I found that [21:36] TheFunkbomb, is it installed ? (yeh i know the checkboxes in synaptics look crap :P) [21:36] rdw200169, absolutely no user app is running in the background. Just the win services, with the updates disabled [21:36] hi [21:36] SiDi, yes [21:36] FireFox||, no, just the host [21:37] archivator: can you verify in linux that your virtualbox is using those 25%? [21:37] archivator: and the task manager (in windows) shows low usage? [21:37] tab1293, You can choose to run compiz from System > Preferences > Appearance -> Desktop Effects, if you want to change specific preferences you will need ccsm or simple-ccsm [21:37] TheFunkbomb, ok send me the screen and let megoogle then :) [21:37] okay [21:37] FireFox||, gnome-system-monitor gives me that number. The load is usually about 1.2 when I have only Firefox and VB running. [21:37] rdw200169, correct. [21:37] Jordan_U: yes but without simple-ccsm, Custom Effects didnt show up under the appearances [21:38] without updating it? [21:38] PrebenR: make sure you unmount the disk before shutdown. it should automount once you plug it in so it should be quite simple [21:38] hello, i'm installing Ubuntu and the installation seems to be stuck at 80% on some gnome22... file [21:38] after upgrading to 8.10 i am getting invalid security certificate errors when using https - despite regenerating the cerificate [21:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/103283/ how do i fix this error? [21:38] for about 20-30mins. is this normal? what happens if i end the installation here? [21:38] hey all, how can I list all user groups from the terminal? [21:38] smerz, hmm. I'll see how I can do it. Need something my wife can operate too :-) [21:39] anyone else had this ? or shed some light on fixing it? [21:39] I can't seem to google it up [21:39] archivator: do you have multiple cores, like a dual core or the amd phenom, also, do you have virtualization (in the processor) turned on in the virtual box configs? [21:39] johnnymo1218, on every single site ? or more likely on sites with bad certificates ? [21:39] archivator: since you can not verify that virtualbox is actually using up those 25% percent you can not be shure that windows is to blame this. Check the system monitor to find out which program is using your resources [21:39] SiDi, http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=55524357cf8.png [21:39] seangrove: groups [21:39] tab1293, You can still change the preferences with ccsm from System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects ( I might be remembering the exact name wrong ) if you have ccsm installed, and you can turn compiz on and off via Sys > Prefs > Appearance [21:39] SiDi: for all [21:39] c_korn: :P [21:39] rdw200169, no, a single core 3.8 GHz pentium [21:39] PrebenR: they can operate shortcuts! :-D [21:39] dollyparton\, did you check the CD was well burnt ? Common cause when the install process gets stuck on an exact file [21:39] smerz, I don't automount. but when you shutdown; does it wait until the usb is unmounted (and synced) ? [21:39] pretty stupid question now that I know the answer... [21:39] its on localhost [21:39] thanks c_korn ! [21:39] smerz, yes, but giving passowrds... [21:39] TheFunkbomb, did you copy over a bunch of windows fonts? [21:40] FireFox||, the system monitor tells me that VirtualBox is using those 25%. [21:40] PrebenR: i dont know. probably yes because you are shutting down [21:40] archivator: ah, single core uses *much* more of the processor, and the lack of virtualization routines [21:40] SiDi, i've used it before to install. it's possible the CD has become slightly scratched.. could that cause it? [21:40] johnnymo1218, well i don't know then, sorry [21:40] DigitalFiz, no, nothing from Windows [21:40] dollyparton\, maybe if it can't read. [21:40] archivator: the processor is having to work very hard; you would notice a huge difference by upgrading your proc marginally to a dual core [21:40] PrebenR: you could configure sudo to allow her to run that one script [21:40] anyway, all i'm trying to achieve is a fresh GRUB installation. can you suggest a way to do that without re-installing all of ubuntu? [21:40] dollyparton\, usually when it crashes at file copy, on a particular file, it's that the cd is corrupted ;) [21:41] someone suggested a command that didn't work, said no boot disk available or such.. the command is written down upstairs [21:41] after creating the new certificate makes no difference [21:41] sugo install-grub or such [21:41] rdw200169, not without changing the mobo as well. I believe the problem to be a software one as the reverse case (linux guest in windows host) gives me normal idle usage. [21:41] dollyparton\, supergrubdisk is a good liveCD for grub. You can also reinstall grub from liveCD but i don't know how to do exactly [21:41] archivator: then ea. os (linux and windows) would have their own proc to use, thereby significantly increasing the stability and operation of ea. os === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [21:41] dollyparton\, "sudo apt-get install grub" i suppose but you shall ask someone else to confirm :p [21:42] alright thanks, hopefully one of the 1000+ people here knows:p [21:42] oh, i dont have to choose a dir? [21:42] rdw200169, we're talking about 3.8 billion operations a second. I think that's plenty for each :) [21:42] Hmm TheFunkbomb that's weird :D [21:42] i think what someone suggested was sudo grub-install /dev/sda [21:42] or /dev/hda [21:42] both didn't work [21:42] SiDi, it certainly is since the bar works on everything else but OOO [21:42] sda said it was probing the BIOS for something, boot disk maybe [21:42] archivator: forgive me, but i would much prefer a quad core 2.0 gighz to a 3.8 ghz any day [21:43] archivator: particularly in linux since it actually uses all the cores ;) [21:43] TheFunkbomb, go to OOo options, there is an option for smoothing fonts, i think it's that.

I've tried stoppign the service and that doesn't work. [21:44] archivator: m all out of ideas. perhaps it's something to do with video... are you using a 3d card, or a vesa card, and vice versa w/ drivers [21:44] and how can I give a group permissions to sudo? [21:44] rdw200169, 3D accel is disabled in the guest. I actually think it's the net driver VB uses. [21:44] TheFunkbomb, type F10, then 3 times arrow left, then once arrow bottom then enter [21:45] hello everybody [21:45] ah, perhaps editing the sudoers file [21:45] archivator: not in the guest, in linux; the reason i say this, is that it seems likely that virtual box is having to do some additional emulation for something it generally doesn't [21:45] how can i get a XML file for gedit that enables PROLOG syntax higlighting (files .pl) ? [21:45] Hello! I'm partitioning a new laptop hd and I'm wondering if these partitions look good for 8.10 64-bit.

[21:46] SiDi, yes [21:46] angasule: thanks i will read that stuff [21:46] archivator: perhaps windows is wasting a lot of processor operations with a swap file, do you know if windows is using one... 64mb is not very much!

[21:47] TheFunkbomb, ok, type "metacity --replace &" in a console and tell me if you see the menus [21:47] magikid: what are you having problems with? [21:47] TheFunkbomb, we'll check something about your drivers' version later too, i'm very curious about knowing if it's the version 96 [21:47] magikid: or are you just asking a general question [21:47] what the terminal command for copying a directory and all of its subdirectories and files to another location?

Driver work but I cannot get a connection with PPP... Any help appreciated! [21:47] SiDi, you rock [21:47] Bax: cp -r [21:48] I'm wondering if Vista will recognize the fat32 partitions (the 20GB, 40GB, and 20GB) and allow me to partition them as NTFS during the install (at least the first 20GB for a Vista install) - once Vista is done installing, I plan to run Ubuntu and install it to the extended partition - I'm not sure if this will work, however, since it'd be my first time trying hehe [21:48] rdw200169, 64MB video RAM is plenty. The recommended amount is below 32. Disk IO in the guest is minimal/absent. I really do believe this is a host issue. [21:48] pidgout: what kind of phone? [21:48] rdw200169: so, just general info [21:48] TheFunkbomb, :D now go to the options / appearance / and uncheck the checkbox for smoothing fonts :P [21:48] this is just retarded i been asking questions for 2 days in here and never even get a response [21:48] Jordan_U: ok [21:48] TheFunkbomb, then in that same console you can type "compiz --replace &" to turn 3D effects on again ;) [21:48] DigitalFiz: Try the forums, it's a little bit hectic in here sometimes [21:48] As root, how do I look at another user's screen session?

[21:49] zac11: shouldn't be a problem at all [21:49] well i been here longer :P [21:49] dr_willis: oh? :( [21:49] forums where down most of yesterday it sucked [21:49] Ziber, check the sreen docs /guides I guess.. [21:49] magikid: the server applications are known to be very very reliable, and I'm not aware of any major issues unrelated to new features [21:49] dr_willis: hmm, k [21:49] sidi, i think your command was right but it refused to install because, get this, the current version was up to date. fucking linux [21:49] any way to force a re-install? [21:49] How do I get ubuntu to recognize super keys(I'm trying to bind keyboard shortcuts) [21:49] magikid: the did, though, fix a small issue with the preseed network configuration portion which made me very happy, but that was minor [21:50] with lots of gtk applications -- i am getting my terminal full of " Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_paint_box: assertion " errors -- can i ignore these (i.e turn them off) [21:50] rdw200169: ok, thanks for the info [21:50] Is there a way to temporarily disable pulseaudio?

I think there was a patch on bugzilla to disable them but I don't have it in my history. [21:51] i have a disk full of errors [21:51] and i need to format it [21:51] dollyparton\, there are ways but they didn't work for me :/ Wait for a grub expert or search about supergrubdisk on google [21:52] really disconcerting for a professional os to be giving users errors like that [21:52] Sorry SiDi I got froen up [21:52] 'professional os' ? heh... [21:52] SiDi, so that was metacity what now? [21:52] oh I got it [21:52] Astr4y, "sudo pulseaudio --kill" [21:53] TheFunkbomb, ok you left too fast :D [21:53] bonhoffer, professional is not the first word that comes to my mind.. Besides, those are ages old, I don't think they are getting removed any time soon.. [21:53] bonhoffer, pipe all command output to /dev/null if you want with > or that other &1> thing.. (i cant rember the exact syntax for the last) [21:53] Astr4y, you can ps aux | grep pulse and "kill -9 " [21:53] I did "sudo apt-get build-dep idjc" and the console said this "E: Package liblame-dev has no installation candidate" how would I go about fixing this? [21:53] hi i am trying to setup a network share, but it keeps on giving me the error saying i am restricted to files i own...

[21:53] TheFunkbomb, go to the OOo options, Display, and uncheck "Smoothing foots" [21:53] dr_willis, o.k. that works [21:54] TheFunkbomb, display or appearence [21:54] i'm using tomsrtbt (linux on a floppy) to boot a system and fix its config, how do i mount the hard drive once i've booted up with floppy? when i do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt it says it cant recognize the device and to insmod -l driver [21:54] what would that driver be? [21:54] TheFunkbomb, to turn 3D effects back on, type "compiz --replace &" in a console after you unchecked the checkbox ;p [21:54] or am i mounting it incorrectly? [21:55] Is there a way to temporarily disable pulseaudio? One of my required apps is segfaulting unless i disable pulseaudio, but i dont want to remove it completely [21:55] TheFunkbomb, making you a screenshot of the good tab [21:55] Sidi under "view" I have "dithering" is that the same? [21:55] SiDi, thanks [21:55] Jordan_U: u here? [21:55] Gnea: They edited the aspireone writeup since I built this [21:55] cmv583, OK, go to System >Administration > Partition Editor , resize your fat partition and create an ext3 partition with the free space, if you need more specific instructions just ask [21:56] TheFunkbomb, it's called "Lisser" in french, i guess the nearest term in english is "smoothing" [21:56] Gnea: the new madwifi "ath_pci" works fine now [21:56] Uploading the pic [21:56] SiDi, okay, I think we're talking about the same thing [21:56] Gnea: thanks btw, it was helpful to sort out what exactly was happening [21:56] I am updating my status using puple-remote and it works, but when I add a cron job it does not update the status of my gmail ?

Would 20GB be enough to install Ubuntu to /? Where does all the other installed software go to, like OpenOffice and such? Does that install into the /home directories or /? [21:58] anyone here use both VMWare workstation & server? [21:58] I'm trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. From what I've been told so far, wine is an obstacle to upgrading and I need to completely remove it. I've already went into the synaptic manager and removed it, but ubuntu still lists it under my Applications. What do I do? [21:58] People still use Hardy? D: [21:59] SiDi, in the dumb American version, we call that Anti-Aliasing [21:59] TheFunkbomb, OOo has an option for that but users reported the same issue under aMSN, Amarok and Opera. i'ld like you to go again to the "Driver peripherals" window and tell me what versions of the drivers is activated [21:59] okay, let me do that other command [21:59] zac11, depends on how many apps you'll be installing. I think I went with 6gb last time and that was plenty for me. [21:59] SiDi, okay [21:59] TheFunkbomb, ok that's what i expected :P it's actually font anti aliasing [21:59] zac - i've done 10 in the past without problems [21:59] cmv583, That's odd, you are currently using the LiveCD? [22:00] tell me if you still have the menus after re-enabling compiz too ;) [22:00] anyone know if there are real advantages to VMWare workstation? === zc00gii_ is now known as zc00gii [22:00] considering it costs $$ etcheh [22:00] SiDi, Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 96) [recommended] [22:00] TheFunkbomb, bingo :) [22:00] SiDi, you are the man (or woman) [22:01] TheFunkbomb, i'm 99% sure there is a bug in the version 96, somehow related to multiple apps (here OOo for fonts | and compiz) using 3D or antialiasing functions [22:01] TheFunkbomb, i think i'm a man ;P [22:01] SiDi, it works perfectly! Thank you so much! === lukasz_ is now known as Rukasuzu [22:01] TheFunkbomb, i fear you'll have to do with it if your GPU is really old. The bug shouldn't be bothing unless you use amarok, opera, or amsn (equivalences : exaile / firefox / pidgin) [22:01] wow nobody uses VMWare [22:01] amazing [22:01] TheFunkbomb, you're welcome :) by the way, listen up [22:01] hi, i'm having trobles playing dvds, i've downloaded the codecs but none of the players i have are able to play one, can somebody help me? [22:02] TheFunkbomb, when you'll have updates including OOo, the update window will show a warning popup because the source of the files hasn't been verified [22:02] SiDi, firefox works just fine. It was just OOO so far. [22:02] slipst, deicideferret: Nice! (: thank you [22:02] how do i update the ubuntu bootloader and make it check for new OS'es [22:02] TheFunkbomb, don't worry about this warning message, it's because of that launchpad repository we added [22:02] SiDi, right. I can ignore that and I'll still be safe? [22:02] deicideferret: Most people use virtualbox or some other alternative on ubuntu from what i've seen [22:02] and then add those [22:02] deicideferret, take a look at their homepage and read about the differences? [22:02] SiDi, gotcha. Thank you so much again. It's dinner time in the states [22:02] TheFunkbomb, yeh because the repository is on launchpad, and launchpad belongs to canonical so there shouldnt be bad stuff cominng from there [22:03] hi, i'm having trobles playing dvds, i've downloaded the codecs but none of the players i have are able to play one, can somebody help me? [22:03] TheFunkbomb, have a nice meal ;) [22:03] Javier, try vlc [22:03] SiDi, you have a great day! [22:03] TheFunkbomb, thanks [22:03] slipst. when i use vcl, it freezes [22:04] Javier, maybe there's something wrong with your dvd [22:04] Jordan_U: i think? i changed boot seq. and post to cd and it gave me options to choose just like normal boot though? [22:04] i can play it in wondows [22:04] again, how do i make grub check again for new oses to be loaded [22:04] slipst, i can play it in windowa [22:05] Javier, same version of VLC in both windows and ubuntu?

The netbook remix does boot, so I installed it. I'm having wireless touble now. [22:06] Do you know if anyone's actively working on reducing boot time? [22:06] Javier, you could try mplayer, maybe you need something from medibuntu (google it) but I don't really know, sorry. [22:06] slipst, np thank you for answering [22:06] archivator, remove splash from the boot command [22:06] I wanted to install using the alternate disk image in order to encrypt my disks. Any ideas on how best to do this? === lukasz_ is now known as Rukasuzu [22:07] cmv583, Can you open a terminal and run "whoami", if it says "ubuntu" then you are using the LiveCD, if it says your user name ( on your installed system ) then you are booted normally. Note that gparted still should work from your installed system, so you have some other problems ( most likely with permissions ) that need to be dealt with [22:07] archivator: you can try to disable readahead [22:07] Jack_Sparrow, I'm not complaining about boot time. In fact, jaunty has been quite an improvement over hardy. There were rumors jaunty would be focused on boot time, that's why I'm asking.. [22:07] archivator: it might reduce boot time === Leefmc-away is now known as Leefmc [22:08] archivator, Discussion and questions for jaunty belong in #ubntu+1 [22:08] If I have a flash drive plugged into my Ubuntu laptop, how do I tell which entry in /dev/ represents that flash drive?

[22:13] Jordan_U: the one i originally installed with is broke!!!!!!!!! [22:13] how do i change the play/pause keys to control mpd in ubuntu? [22:13] cmv583, Ahh, I think that the problem with gparted ( which is really a problem with gksudo ) is because your / is full [22:14] cmv583, Can move any files off to your external drive to make space? [22:14] kinection, System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts [22:15] join #ubuntu-de [22:16] Jordan_U: sure, how [22:17] Hello everyone.

How can I accomplish this? [22:18] I added in the PHP Eclipse plugin and now I receive an error when ever I try to open a .php file. From what I've read, this is only a problem with Eclipse 3.2 (which is the only version available in the repos). Does anyone know a workaround? [22:19] what is the command to execute a program from an ssh session such that i can close the session and the program continues to execute? [22:19] dro, you can install the one from eclipse's webby [22:19] dro, it's true the repo version is a bit outdated [22:19] CppIsWeird, you could start the program in something like "screen" [22:19] CppIsWeird: nohup [22:19] Since they Eclipse devs have already released v. 3.4, how can I make a recommendation for the repos to be updated? [22:19] fosco_ ftw, 10 points. ty. :) [22:20] sidi: Yes, I could, but I'd like it to be tied into Synaptic...

[22:23] my main installation crashed and grub won't load. [22:23] :-( [22:23] FarmCretin, what is exactly the usb wireless adaptor you use ? [22:23] WG111 netgear [22:23] It hangs on "grub loading, please wait" [22:24] IIRC [22:24] dro just curious but whats the speed and ping times of that thing? [22:24] after "stage 1.5" [22:24] I was trying to suspend to RAM, and on resume, got a black screen [22:24] Somethief: sure just don't know exactly what's unneeded? [22:24] The speeds for HTTP are similar to ISDN 512kbs although they're rated to be "upto 1.5 mbs", supposedly. The latency... Well, it's horrid for gaming and even IRC when I am multitasking. [22:25] So I restarted, [22:25] and when the computer got back up, GRUB hanged. [22:25] cmv583, delete everything in /var/cache/apt/archives.. or back it up [22:25] What do I do now? [22:25] And, if you're using non-HTTP (ie. FTP, Telnet, etc). the speeds are forced to dialup speeds. [22:25] Rediculous. [22:25] uhm i didnt see your first question but how recent is your install? [22:25] !patience > nevis [22:25] nevis, please see my private message [22:25] dro bad luck :P [22:25] SiDi: WG111 netgear usb [22:25] dro, i'd be sad of having this at home (even if 80% of the time i got 30kbps connexion, only with ports 80 and 443) [22:25] I'm sorry. :-) [22:26] Yeah, I go up to the city and visit friends a lot just so I can steal... or, ahem.. use theri connections. :D [22:26] haha :D [22:27] nevis: you should state your problem and ask your questions all in one (long) line, don't use enter to split lines [22:27] Ok. [22:27] somethief / SiDi: Have you ever seen your IRC client's latency exceed over 1 minute? I have... Sadly. Nothing like being a minute behind the conversation. :( [22:27] FarmCretin, if you speak french i got a full doc for you :P [22:27] dro, yes, i did [22:28] !ot [22:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:28] SiDi: At least I'm not the only one! [22:28] haha irc over grps in a moving car gets pretty close :P [22:28] ubottu: Sorry [22:28] It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand...

[22:29] BridgeInhabitant: Check out smb4k to establish a connection and have all kinds of fun! [22:29] Hello! I am using a radeon card with the Free Software xorg-server-video-ati driver in hardy (although same behavior found with intrepid). The contrast setting keeps getting reset to the maximum on the card. In Microsoft Windows, the contrast setting for the card/LVDS panel can be set. In xorg, I cannot seem to find a way. Thoughts? [22:29] BridgeInhabitant install nmap [22:29] Jack_Sparrow: i can't! select all, right-click and move to trash isn't click-able [22:29] theres a gui also in repos but cant remember it's name :P [22:29] I have a dual boot configuration, XP and Ubuntu8.10 (i installed kubuntu-desktop lated). After an attempt to suspend the system, it crashed. I restarted, only to find that GRUB hangs up after "stage 1.5" saying "please wait". I waited for a bit, but I don't think it's going to help. I'm now using the ubuntu8.10 livecd. thanks for any advice. [22:29] FarmCretin, ok, i'll make you type 2 commands to check this is exactly that card that you're using. Open a terminal and please type "lspci | grep -i wireless" [22:30] Well, I'm off. Have fun everyone... [22:30] cya [22:30] SiDi: nothing, it didnt read anything [22:31] BridgeInhabitant, if you suspect a windows machine, open nautilus, type smb:// in the address bar and if you see something it means there's a windows pc around [22:31] FarmCretin, "lspci | grep 802.11" then [22:31] ah lsusb sorry [22:31] Jack_Sparrow: Coo, thank you [22:32] np [22:32] SiDi: still nothing. ill try different usb ports [22:33] Jack_Sparrow: do i have bigger problems than i thought? [22:33] FarmCretin, can you just type "lsusb" and "lspci" and paste the output of both to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com then please ? [22:34] nevis: as long as nobody else takes the bait: you could at least check your file system on your HD [22:34] no can do, im talking to you on my wireless laptop. the desktop im trying to use the usb with has no internet [22:34] I see FarmCretin [22:34] guntbert: thanks. how? [22:34] Simple question.. I install something.. I can see it in "Edit Menu" etc.. [22:34] but when I try to use the ubuntu menu.. I don't see it [22:34] (VirtualBox) [22:35] FarmCretin, just type lsusb and look for something related to wireless, please [22:35] I guess I just have to reboot [22:35] Are there any visual packages for desktop in ubuntu [22:35] deicideferret, /join #vbox and please hold down the use of enter in the channel [22:36] how down the use of enter :)? that is the first time i've ever heard/read that. interesting concept.

[22:37] nevis: try it with gparted System/Administration/PartitionEditor (use it just to check, don't change things there) [22:37] SiDi: thanks, you might be saving be quite a bit of cabling [22:37] spasticteapot, yes [22:37] spasticteapot: Yes [22:37] *me [22:37] guntbert: what should I look for? [22:37] spasticteapot: chmod -R (recursively) [22:37] spasticteapot: "sudo chmod 777 -R /folder/name" would affect the fodler and everything inside of it, including subfolders [22:38] erUSUL: Much thanks. [22:38] Greetings, folks. I just installed ubuntu server and include the LAMP install but Apache2 won't parse the php files. Any ideas? [22:38] Astr4y: What's the 777 option do again? [22:38] any dvd experts in here? [22:38] spasticteapot: Sets permissions so everybody can do everything :p [22:38] I'm hoping to give applications access to the folders - wouldn't chmod -x do it? [22:38] spasticteapot: yes [22:38] does anyone knows how to run and install a tarball file? [22:38] allright. i need to go from grub to a win7 setup. [22:38] FarmCretin, do you know if your usb key has a number like v2 or v3 written somewhere ? it seems there are 3 versions of this usb key [22:39] I can parse php files from the command line but not via the web server. [22:39] nevis: in gparted choose your HD, right-click on one partition, select check [22:39] i have grub installed, but i need it to boot to my second partition (where the files are extracted) and begin setup. [22:39] for win7 [22:39] how do i talk [22:39] Agemaniac, tar is just a compressed file, anything could be in there [22:39] oh i get it [22:39] guntbert: gparted has "warning" - /dev/sda1 has a bad sector. what is ntfsresize? [22:39] how can i get a XML file for gedit that enables PROLOG syntax higlighting (files .pl) ? [22:40] its only a so file (actually flash player for 64 it but i dont know how to install it :p [22:40] Astr4y: sudo chmod 777 -x -r /root/.etwolf gives: " chmod: cannot access `777': No such file or directory" [22:40] any dvd experts in here? [22:40] Jordan_U: well i'm at a loss. i can't seem to delete anything in file browser? emptied trash ! still no gparted! [22:40] nevis: then sda1 is your windows partition, leave it alone (for now) [22:40] Jack_Sparrow, its only a so file (actually flash player for 64 it but i dont know how to install it :p [22:41] Any ideas on getting Apache2 to parse PHP files? [22:41] SiDi: the box says v2 [22:41] Agemaniac, Look for instructions where you got the file. [22:41] spasticteapot: You have to use R, capitalized, it's case sensitive, also you cna take the 777 out of there, it was only an example [22:41] ok FarmCretin thanks [22:41] ok. sdb2 is my linux partition. [22:41] I'm runing check on it now. [22:41] Hi folks. [22:42] spasticteapot: You should be typing "sudo chmod -x -R /root/.etwolf". [22:42] I think check on sdb2 completetd successfully [22:42] Jack_Sparrow, it only says about uninstalling any previous vercion of flash before installing the new one [22:43] !flash64 [22:43] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [22:43] FarmCretin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper this doc slightly outdated but the idea is there [22:43] I'm not getting dvd movies to show up in 8.10 and ideas? [22:44] FarmCretin, you'll also need the windows drivers (i suppose you know how to find them) [22:44] nevis: I gotta go, but you might want to prepare for others to step in: open a command-shell, type sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the output of this command [22:44] !pastebin | nevis [22:44] nevis: 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) [22:44] SiDi: ill get them off the disk [22:44] FarmCretin, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51993 here is a forum topic about someone with the same usb key, too [22:45] Of course once the driver is installed you can just use the graphical method for connecting to the internet FarmCretin [22:45] ok. thank you very much. [22:45] Jack_Sparrow, hmm the flash installer that i downloaded its already for 64 bit architecture, i only need to know how to dun it :S, theres only a file.so inside, but i dont know the comand to run the installation :S [22:45] Can someone tell me which MySQL package I would download for Ubuntu [22:46] http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html [22:46] yo [22:46] !lamp [22:46] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[22:51] oira, Was it a package from our supported repos? [22:52] thanks [22:52] carandraug: I don't have any buttons to turn it off, but I'm sure there is a way to do it still. [22:52] Jack_Sparrow: oh yeah, might have not been. sorry :( [22:52] perillux1: it's a physical button. Like the ones to control the sound. I checked the keyboards shortcuts but it's not configured there (though the sound control buttons are there) [22:52] oira, That is the risk you take [22:53] Hi there. Could someone please help me? My system crashed and GRUB won't load. My fdisk -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103304/ [22:53] Jack_Sparrow: Any suggestions for getting Apache2 to parse PHP? It runs from the command line but not from the web server. [22:53] jam59, I would ask in #apache or ubuntu-server [22:53] Jack_Sparrow: yes you are correct, i forgot i had updated the source file [22:53] Jack_Sparrow: Ahhh, ubuntu-server. Thanks! [22:54] oira, np [22:54] ciao [22:54] carandraug: I can actually turn it off with something I type in the command line (after a long time on google) but I can't seem to get it to turn back on..... I have to restart the comp to get it back one which kind of defeats the purpose lol [22:54] jam59, you are welcome [22:55] perillux1: I see. I think you can choose to turn it off and lock the screen [22:55] Jack_Sparrow, hmm the flash installer that i downloaded its already for 64 bit architecture, i only need to know how to run it :S, theres only a file.so inside, but i dont know the comand to run the installation :S [22:55] carandraug: I can do that too but the backlight stays on [22:55] sorry, but cant make it work :/ [22:55] hey guys a wile ago i edited my menu.lst and then did a kernel update and now menu.lst didn't auto-update. how can i fix this? [22:55] Agemaniac, cant help sorry. I am about to take a break and ust lurk for a bit [22:56] kk, enjoy :) [22:56] kevin_, Which kernel update, I assume a manual update to some special kernel [22:56] is someone else around? :X === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [22:57] perillux1: I see. I tried it now. Since I was with the room light on I didn't notice that. But the shortcut I have on my keyboard (Fn+F7) really turns the monitor off [22:57] Anybody have ideas as to how I should handle the latest NVIDIA drivers? There are two parts, and X11 won't start because one is *.80 and the other is *.82 [22:58] perillux1: can't you bind a keyboard shortcut to the command you found on google? The command works as a switch? Or would you need a different one to turn it on? === kevin_ is now known as kevin83 [22:58] carandraug: it might need another one to turn it on [22:58] did you get my message? [22:58] carandraug: i'm going to try it again, so this might be my last message lol [22:59] perillux1: wait [22:59] Does anyone know if there is a better driver for a ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 other than fglrx? [22:59] carandraug: ok [22:59] the kernel update was a typical one delivered by software updates from 2.6.27-7 to 2.6.27-9 [22:59] i have no sound while playing flash movies on youtube, dailymotion,...!!! how can i fix this please? [22:59] Room: Where can I request a repos file to be updated (eclipse is out of date by over two years) [22:59] i restored the original grub file, removed the new kernel and reinstalled it but it didn't update menu.lst [22:59] perillux1: or you can bind a shortcut to a script that checks wether the LCD is on or off, and turns it on or off depending on the monitor status [23:00] Enissay, its a fkash problem [23:00] flash* [23:00] dro, look up the maintainer and ask. or look into packaging [23:00] I updated my system today, and the NVIDIA kernel is at version 177.82, while the driver stayed at 177.80. X11 won't start as a result. Any ideas/how to downgrade? [23:00] (Sorry, driver's 82, kernel's 80) [23:01] can't boot, grub hangs. need help. pretty please with sugar on top? [23:01] nevis: what have you done recently? [23:01] IceBall: i dunno, it stops working after installing updates [23:02] perillux1: my programming skills are really really basic but I'm pretty sure I could pull something like that in perl in a few hours. An actual programmer would probably take a few minutes if you tell him the command to check the status and the commans to turn it on and off [23:02] carandraug: well the way it is supposed to work is... it turns it off, then it runs an empty loop, then when I press ctrl+c to close the program it's supposed to turn the monitor on. but it doesn't turn it back on [23:02] Enissay, yea, tons of ppl are having the problem [23:02] carandraug: hmm, maybe I can split it into two programs and do what you suggested. [23:03] i can always just alter the file manually and change -7 to -9 where appropriate [23:03] IceBall: how can i fix it? do i have to reinstall it (i'm triying) [23:03] sdadadadad [23:03] kidko - system crashed after trying to suspend in 8.10. When resuming, got a black screen. eventually restarted alt-ctrl-del. when the computer came up again, grub hanged on stage 1.5 [23:04] !NFS [23:04] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [23:04] perillux1: maybe. Good luck with that. If you know a menu with more keybindings, other than System>Preferences>Keyboard shortcuts, maybe it's there the option for my (Fn+F7) [23:04] Enissay, i think if u type in flash sound crackles ubuntu in google, there is a link to a submitted bug on launchpad, that should help u [23:05] http://wandsicht.de/ [23:05] http://wandsicht.de/ [23:05] can someone here help me w/ an nnvdia issue?

[23:06] Enissay, np [23:06] Someone recommended it to me as a good way to make upgrading easy, but it seems to make everything malfunction. [23:07] how can i get a XML file for gedit that enables PROLOG syntax higlighting (files .pl) ? [23:07] spasticteapot: unless you're a developer, don't bother giving more than 15Gb to / . And even that ammount is probably more than enough [23:07] carandraug: Did that. However, whenever Ubuntu downloads a package, that seems to be where it installs it. [23:07] Weird, eh? [23:07] spasticteapot: use gparted for partitioning and besides a /home partition u ll need / and swap [23:08] spasticteapot: that's right. They are installed in / . But software here doesn't take a loot of space [23:08] al_capone: Did that. 20GB for "/", 100GB for "/home", 2GB for swap. [23:08] carandraug: it worked!! [23:08] carandraug: I'm already down to 8GB. [23:08] Weird, eh? [23:08] perillux1: cool! [23:08] carandraug: theres one slight problem I can foresee though.. [23:09] Of course, it also seems to keep Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory from working. [23:09] spasticteapot: use a live cd with the newest version to install a clean version and make a /home partion [23:09] carandraug, do you have one min? :x [23:09] spasticteapot: there's no reason for that, it doesn't make sense [23:09] spasticteapot: I install those games on /home [23:09] Agemaniac: yes [23:09] I just installed 8.10. === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [23:09] spasticteapot: punkbuster does not work in et under ubuntu [23:09] carandraug: You install ET with a script. [23:10] al_capone: Are you sure? [23:10] If so....WTF? [23:10] carandraug: it's just that I have a on.sh and an off.sh and I have to run it like sudo ./off.sh and enter my password. might be hard to enter that when i can't see, and type my pass... but w/e I think it will be ok xD thanks for your help [23:10] yes [23:10] spasticteapot: I install UT2004 with a script too but the script asks me where. [23:10] carandraug, have downloaded flash player for 64bit architectures, it comes in a tar ball and inside theres a .so file, how do i install or whats the command to execute the .so file? [23:10] There are a dozen documentation sheets for each half-assed Tetris clone in the repository, but not W:ET? [23:11] carandraug: I have a sneaking suspicion that UT and ET use very different scripts. Especially because the latter is years and years old. [23:11] W:ET rocks :) [23:11] perillux1: it's the same as typing the pass in the terminal. You also can't see it there [23:11] spasticteapot: use wine to install et [23:11] Jack-Sparrow: sorry for the delay, I was over in #eclipse.

[23:40] ok thx [23:40] mogi22: so the error doesn't happen on ubuntu?

[23:41] mogi22: right, by my question I meant: the operating system you are using when you run the 'mount' command is not ubuntu? [23:41] For t/s, I always check error logs first, then look at permissions... [23:42] how do i add new repositorye? [23:42] jrib, oh ok, its whatever HAL91 uses. if you google that, you will see what i mean. [23:42] to save you time, take a look at the medibuntu web site, they have instructions. [23:42] mogi22: why don't you use an ubuntu live cd? Otherwise I assume hal91 since it fits on a floppy doesn't have whatever it is the kernel needs to mount ext [23:42] instructions on adding a repository. [23:42] hi i don't have any sound on my laptop on 8.10, what should I do? [23:42] Yeah. [23:43] jrib, its on a floppy so i doubt its anything similar to ubuntu ... sadly i dont have the cd here. [23:43] SlashBOOT: give hardwre info please [23:43] mogi22: burn one [23:43] For no sound, I'd first try to do update and see if that fixes the issue.

[23:45] look2thestars, its hardy [23:45] mogi22: you can mount ext3 as ext2 [23:45] thanks. [23:45] ? [23:45] jrib, hmmm i'm excited, let me go try [23:45] mmmm [23:45] maybe you don't need to try to mount the ext3 filesystem, maybe you need to do fsck on it [23:45] mogi22: right, why aren't you using "recovery mode" from the grub menu though? [23:46] ? [23:46] jrib is right, try recovery mode first, that drops you into something like runelevel 1, non-networking mode, and then you can do certain tasks.

You might try the EFI boot manager ? [23:51] it is i saw gnome panels in kubuntu once lol [23:52] supergrubdisk is for booting from different disks as well, different OS's [23:52] look2thestars, it is intel. [23:52] Try the EFI boot option, it might work. [23:52] look2thestars: mogi22 just can't login normally because of some issue with pam. It has nothing to do with grub [23:52] jrib, ok well i'm sure my grub is fine and i dont need to repair it. so i dont really benefit from supergrub ... or do i?

[23:53] look2thestars, oh yeah it boots up just fine [23:54] bash prompt, init 1 after su'ing to root [23:54] You might need to adjust /etc/inittab to go to init 3 instead of level 5 so that you get to the command-prompt at boot up.

[23:57] jrgp, it happens when i do: "sudo apt-get build-dep idjc" [23:57] Mogi22, don't bother with grub right now... you need to think outside the box and get in as root.

[23:59] nevis, it's mainly for mobile computers or those that use battery power. [23:59] Frequency scaling only in the context of extending battery power on a laptop. [23:59] nevis: it's main purpose is to save power which is pretty important on a laptop running from a battery but otherwise it's not really that beneficial [23:59] ok. tnx.
