[00:00] hi guys [00:00] nick_[nex], it will want to format the / parttion. so yes basicially it will. Unless you got /home/ on its own parittion. [00:01] hey can someone show me some good UIs for Ubuntu [00:01] kintarotpc - that happened to me during testing an alpha and i had to switch to metacity as the wm and it went away [00:01] whoDat: /lib/modules [00:01] yow|laptop: hmm. It only started after a recent reboot and I did have some effects enabled. Thanks for the hint. [00:01] hmm is there any way around this? my home folder is *huge*, and i have no way of moving it [00:01] any one experience with ubuntu 64 bits [00:01] usser: there is no lib directory on the cdrom starting at the root [00:01] whoDat: on the live cd? [00:02] nick_[nex]: fire up a live CD, erase everything else on the partition, and make that partition your home partition? [00:02] yeah [00:02] whoDat: hm im not sure where it is. sorry [00:02] nick_[nex]: Unless you have enough space ot just move it to its own partition [00:02] !separatehome | nick_[nex] [00:02] nick_[nex]: 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 [00:02] kintarotpc - when you get the white screen, try pressing Alt-F2 and type metacity and press enter, see if that works [00:03] ah cheers guys, just saved me losing all my files ;) [00:03] thats how i fixed mine, then disable your effects for the time being [00:03] for some reason when I install progs using the apt tool it never seems to install the .blahrc file [00:03] is ubuntu 64 bits compatible with geforce 9500 GT [00:03] nvidia [00:03] lets say i add one file to crontab. this file is a very simple batch script, which just call perl scripts. so what happens is, i want to run all the scripts at the same time parallelaly and independently from each other... what can i do to acomplish this without having to add an entry for each script.pl in crontab?

[00:06] teenbeat2007 - ive seen that before, try leaving it longer, that happened to me before, but only during boot [00:06] gerob, from the cli the command is jockey-gtk :) [00:06] well all i know is the mac user in my house has no problems, ditto the vista/gateway user [00:06] teenbeat2007: that is really weird. i'm guessing you are trying to install the 64 bit version. have you tried installing the 32 bit version?

[00:12] hello [00:13] I have a wireless card that I need to modify the SPROM on and it needs the bcm43xx module. I'm running Intrepid, and when I do 'sudo modprobe bcm43xx' I get the error "FATAL: Module bcm43xx not found". Is there a way to install that module on 8.10? [00:13] it is possible to do asyncronious routing using eth and wireless device? upload on eth and download from wireless? [00:13] Test.

[00:23] hello i have remote ssh sessions connected to my server, how can i close these from the server [00:23] Well, it's mostly working, it's just using a generic driver Can't get resolutions higher than 800x600. Guess I need to reinstall my drivers. [00:25] kintarotpc - nvidia or ati [00:25] ati [00:25] yow|laptop: I actually still have the .run file from amd/ati [00:25] they may have been removed during an upgrade or overwritten which could account for your effects not working, i would try to reinstall them as you mentioned [00:26] when looking for themes at gnome-look.org should I look for GTK 2.x, compiz, or what? [00:26] yow|laptop: Come to think of it, that's probably what happened. I had an update come through the other day [00:26] what kind of theme should I look for and what are the differences [00:26] Question- How does the Public folder work? Is it intended to be Public on the computer, the network or the Internet? [00:26] yow|laptop: Thanks for the pointers, by the way. [00:28] logo you can make any folder "public" by changing permissions [00:28] np kintarotpc, GL [00:28] ty [00:29] anyone know the difference between GTK 2.X, Metacity and compiz? [00:30] yow|laptop: Hmm, installing the driver doesn't seem to have helped. Should I clear my xorg.conf file and try it again? [00:30] my sound has quit working [00:30] can anyone help me [00:31] !GTK [00:31] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [00:31] I couldn't play music while I had left a youtube window open in firefox. [00:31] !metacity [00:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity [00:31] metacity - is the default gnome window manager.. [00:31] compiz - is a fancy window manager. with lots of effects [00:31] but i haven't even started on customizing my sound stuff yet [00:31] Matillo: switch from pulse-audio to alsa [00:32] Hey [00:32] Does anybody want help cause I'm really bored and I wanna do something;p [00:32] I have been askign for help [00:32] I have an easy question [00:32] Regarding my sound not working [00:32] How does the Public folder work? Is it intended to be Public on the computer, the network or the Internet? [00:32] Depends on how much you know about Firestarter. [00:32] got it thanks nomexous [00:32] JHook101: Did you check alsa-mixer? [00:33] I have no diea what that is [00:33] *idea [00:33] JHook101: Ok, you new on Linux? [00:33] yes [00:33] JHook101: Ok. [00:33] guys [00:34] just a little request [00:34] it was working earlier I was listening to a radio station live on firefox [00:34] JHook101: Was the sound working before? [00:34] for those that know [00:34] then when i closed it no more sound [00:34] JHook101: Ok. I assume you checked that everything that has to do with wiring is plugged in correctly right? [00:34] can anybody give me a working tutorial on postfix mysql and courier on ubntu [00:34] and in the default music player on ubuntu it does not give me option to adjust volume anymore either [00:34] kintarotpc - perhaps rename it as a backup and then do a reconfigure for xorg [00:34] ubuntu? [00:34] yea [00:34] I check the wiring nothing has changed [00:34] besides flurdy and howtoforge [00:35] Nawp, switching to alsa didn't change that. [00:35] JHook101: Ok. Well, if you didn't download any other sound managing package, you are probably running alsa. Alsa takes care of everything that has to do with sound. [00:35] JHook101: Open up a terminal and type in alsa-mixer. [00:35] Is it possible to upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.10 without reinstalling? [00:36] said command not found [00:36] Necrosan: Without re-installing? Yes, you can upgrade online. Go at the update notifications, there should be an option.

Is any bar turned off? I mean is there any bar which is not filled? [00:37] so one here know... where I can find some Usplash for GNOME? (Not gnome-look.org pleases) [00:37] the surround and lfe bar are [00:38] don't know [00:38] :| [00:38] darn [00:38] guess it wont work [00:38] i dont use mirc that much [00:38] kattollikisd: Check www.gnome.org.

[00:38] dwiz: You said you used xchat. mirc is a windows app. [00:38] JHook101: Naviagate to them and use the up arrow key to fill them up.

[00:40] mysteryc, thanks [00:40] please :] [00:40] still does not work [00:40] Matillo: But aptitude installed netcat-openbsd automatically, shouldn't it remove it automatically as well?

Rebot to update table." i have tried to reboot my ubuntu box, and run cfdisk again...that didn't work. how can i get the new partition that i create to write to the usb stick using cfdisk. i need to mention that i use the ( -z ) switch when i initally start cfdisk [00:41] I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and the only success is that it now shows an audio device on settings [00:41] Not if other packages may be using netcat-openbsd. === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [00:41] i am also trying to crete a bootable usb stick using the FAT16 filesystem [00:41] JHook101: Hmm, sorry then I don't know because I am not even on my Linux now I am on Windows cause I am running this software that I can't run on Linux called Final Draft so I can't check for anything myself. [00:41] Matillo: The two commands are run in sequence, no other installs inbetween. [00:42] anyon else to help me with audio problem? [00:42] The uninstaller can't check dependancies on packages that aptitude happened to depend on. [00:42] There may be a way to run some sort of cleanup, but I dunno. [00:42] how do i acess the sourcecode or how do i get it? [00:44] Matillo: But aptitude knows that it automatically installed netcat-openbsd as a result of installing libvirt-bin. [00:44] Can anyone help me find out if my drive can burn DVDs? [00:44] Matillo: Otherwise I might just as well use apt-get. === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [00:45] iShock: The simplest way is to check the logos on the front of the drive.

What's a problem? [00:47] o no its not [00:47] Oh, not uninstalling the packages if it already knows dependancies.

[00:47] It was a response to owh. [00:47] jrib: Did you see my original question?

[00:52] hmuller: At least, as far as I'm aware. [00:52] w3wsrmn: It's the windows 7 ISO [00:53] ardchoille: No. However, it automatically removes dnsmasq-base.

[00:53] is there any who can help me out with the data recovery using ubuntu ?

[00:55] sysadmin: Ok,,I just read about the errors or bugs of ext3, one of them is backups,,,it was on wikipedia [00:55] hmuller: qemu? [00:56] ardchoille: According to the depends for the three packages there is no difference between netcat-openbsd and dnsmasq-base, so if one is uninstalled, the other should also be. [00:56] Hey guys! I am trying to add a user to my laptop so that I can use it whenever I connect to an untrusted/insecure hotspot. I want to do a number of things, like create startup scripts like /etc/init.d/XXX specifically for that user. Also, I was wondering if there was a way to modify /etc/network/interfaces for only one user. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D [00:56] vigo : thank you [00:56] It's a processor emulator, I've used it to install winxp [00:56] can you please send me the link if youve got one [00:56] owh: that's not how it works with the command you used [00:56] iShock: kvm works good too, if you have a processor that supports virtualization [00:56] owh: and perhaps you should be talking to the package maintainer? [00:56] hmuller: WTF are you talking about, pm me? [00:57] can you speak turk0131sh? [00:57] ardchoille: First I'm trying to figure out why it's happening, otherwise all I'll be doing is lodging a bug that makes no sense. [00:57] iShock: I don't know how to pm uxing xchat, gimme a sec and I'll send you a link to some reading material [00:57] owh: ok [00:57] sooo [00:57] ne1??? :(((( [00:57] !tr | pasal [00:57] pasal: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde.

[00:57] ardchoille: I still don't understand the point you're making about --purge-unused [00:57] hmuller: /query nick [00:58] Hey all. I was wondering if anyone has messed with the commandline interface to make it case-insensative? [00:58] !patience | John`Anderzon [00:58] John`Anderzon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:58] which video card John`Anderzon [00:58] owh: --purge-unused purges unused packages [00:58] im using geforce mx 44 [00:58] someone told me i need to change the refresh rate on the vertical lines [00:58] sysadmin: still here? [00:58] yes [00:58] i am [00:58] mx440. which driver? from the repo or from the nvidia site? [00:59] cuz it just looks like static like little static lines... not very visible but still annoying [00:59] smo_PenguinStyle, i dont see that happening any time soon [00:59] im not exactly sure... it came with the machien [00:59] sysadmin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 < thank you Vigo [00:59] owh: suppose you install a package and it installs 4 deps. using "aptitude purge" may not uninstall all deps but "--purge-unused" will uninstall the package and all "unused" deps [00:59] ill have a look now [01:00] but is it possible to retrieve data from that disk though using Ubuntu [01:00] ? [01:00] My pleasure [01:00] sysadmin: Assuming there's no damage, yes, of course. [01:00] John`Anderzon - look up your vert and horizontal rates for that monitor and the refresh rate and then compare that to what is in your xorg.conf. you may need to try out some different settings and manually edit the file. [01:00] thank you Flannel [01:01] the disks are abs fine . . no problem [01:01] Hey guys! I am trying to add a user to my laptop so that I can use it whenever I connect to an untrusted/insecure hotspot. I want to do a number of things, like create startup scripts like /etc/init.d/XXX specifically for that user. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D [01:01] and thats assuming that the hw is working correctly [01:01] its just that i have to get the data out from the servers hard disks [01:01] Do you know any Free Point Of Sales ? [01:01] ardchoille: The rdepends for netcat-openbsd and dnsmasq-base are almost identical - the difference is that dnsmasq-base rdepends on dnsmasq. As far as I can see they're the same. [01:01] gerber: What? [01:01] ok ty so much [01:01] pos [01:01] earthmeLon - create the account and then you can use the sessions option to run custom scripts if you want [01:02] gerber: For Ubuntu? [01:02] np John`Anderzon [01:02] For restaurant [01:02] YEs [01:02] Thanks yow, i'd rather set it up from this account. Trying to learn as much about the OS as possible without cheating with GUI's :P [01:02] yow|laptop ^ [01:03] ardchoille: Thanks for that tip [01:03] i checked out my xorg file the only lines that mention 'video' say "configured video device" [01:03] I download one But i Dont know how to load it pls help [01:03] hmuller: yw :) [01:04] owh: I don't feel like reading aptitude source and can't find documentation on the meaning of the numbers in /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates, but I would look for differences there next [01:04] earthmeLon - in that case, if you are going to use init.d then you will need to create scripts and then link each of them to the corresponding runlevels in which you want them to start and then restrict them to only that user. just my 2 cents, someone else may have a better idea [01:04] Any trac users in the room tonight? [01:04] gerber: what did you download? [01:04] a program asks me for openssl >= 0.9.7 , but I have already 0.9.8, what could I do? [01:04] yow|laptop So, if I create a script in init.d, how do I restrict it to only run when that user logs in? [01:04] John`Anderzon - is this a single boot machine? have you tried a different live cd? a different driver perhaps? just trying to rule out a hw issue or a driver issue. [01:05] orflon: provide more details [01:05] it had the same problem when i booted from the live CD [01:05] I need to manage available log on times for two user ID's. They are to log on during hours of 3pm to 4pm each day. how do I apply this log on time in Ubuntu 8.10?? Thanks! [01:05] i didnt have this prob when i had damn small linux installed././. [01:05] openbravo pos [01:06] !netsplit [01:06] gerber: I have no idea what that is, but maybe someone that saw it can assist. [01:06] jrib, I'm on a live cd 8.10, and I'm trying to install wvstreams. It says in the end missing depedency openssl, >=0.9.7 needed, but I do have 0.9.8 already. Ask me anything else you need, thanks mate. [01:06] jrib: That's an excellent suggestion. [01:06] 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 [01:06] What's with all the floodbots? [01:06] earthmeLon - well thats why i suggested using sessions cause its easier that way, tbh, im not sure how to restrict it to one user. you can login still within your current account by using an xsession window and logging in as your proposed user there [01:06] orflon: what is the name of the package you are installing? [01:07] it's dual boot but with the other OS is installed on another HD [01:07] jrib, I install it from source, it's wvstreams version 4.4.1 [01:07] VideoSmith: they're here to protect us against Microsoft! You didnt know that already? :P [01:07] orflon: why? wvstreams seems to be in the repositories (not that version in particular) [01:08] John`Anderzon - does it have the same monitor problem on the other OS? what is the other OS? [01:08] nope [01:08] i only have this problem with ubuntu [01:08] yow|laptop I am doing some research and maybe .bash_login or .bash_profile might be a better option. [01:08] ok so it could be a driver issue then [01:08] /home/gerber/ntpv_bundle-1.2rc1 [01:08] ok cool earthmeLon [01:08] jrib: hm well I can't find it in my repos [01:09] i see [01:09] orflon: apt-cache search wvstreams doesn't return any results? [01:09] can you help [01:09] John`Anderzon - are using the ubuntu drivers for the card? if so, which one? 177? 180? [01:09] gerber: Did you apt-get that? [01:09] can anyone help me configure my seagate free agent pro drive for xubuntu [01:09] honestly i dont know.. i just installed ubuntu, i'm guessing it installed drivers for it.. but i could be wrong [01:09] how would i check? [01:09] yes [01:10] jrib: yes it did return, but apt-get install wvstreams doesn't work :/ [01:10] BellinXFelon: what filesystem? [01:10] orflon: what did it return? [01:10] is there a terminal command to bring up the add/remove function that's in the applications menu dropdown? (not the full synaptec) [01:10] gerber: Did it install? [01:10] nnno [01:10] no [01:10] Barridus: gnome-app-install [01:10] jrib: libs of this kind-> libwvstreams* [01:11] jrib: apt-get install libwvstreams*? [01:11] is there a good dyndns client for ubuntu ? [01:11] orflon: is what you want something different? [01:11] John`Anderzon - look under system > admin > hw drivers [01:11] linxeh: I use ddclient, there are others [01:11] gerber: maybe sudo apt-get or use the Synaptic Package manager.... [01:11] see if it lists any in use for your video card [01:11] BellinXFelon: let me guess, you plug it in, and it is not recognized as mass storage in Ubuntu? [01:11] jrib: ok thanks [01:11] okay [01:11] I'm currently running 7.04 and want to upgrade to the latest stable version (8.04?) Anywho, the Update Manager can [01:12] jrib: well, another program says that I must have wvstreams installed, I'm not sure what exactly I want [01:12] gerber: It may already be installed [01:12] does anyone here know how to enable SHMConfig in xorg.conf? [01:12] theres ONE driver there but its not enabled.... it's called "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver..." [01:12] orflon: ok... what other program? [01:12] how can i find out ? [01:12] t locate updates so I can't go step by step. Is there anyway I can download an alternate upgrade version so i can mount it?

[01:12] gerber: look in your home folder [01:12] linxeh: dyndns [01:12] John`Anderzon - its up to you, but i would try enabling that. that should give you 3d acceleration and a better resolution [01:12] jrib: ok cool, thanks [01:12] hmuller, yes it's starting to bother me a bit on my laptop [01:13] okay if it doesnt work and im left with a blank screen.. ? [01:13] linxeh: afraid dns is nicer [01:13] Which i doubt but theres always that possibility, no?

[01:18] !alternate | Jams44 [01:18] Jams44: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

Respositories refer to... If ive already had a successful install of an old version of ubuntu can iassume that it would upgrade correctly? [01:24] i have web access, the updates just dont work [01:24] it says something about a fetch error. [01:24] hope so, im still a newbie at linux but im learning... and ive said it and i'll say again, its A LOT better than Windows.. the only prob is getting software developers to start developing for it instead of windows.. [01:24] on a NEC Versa E6500, the notebook's mouse and touchpad don't work. however usb keyboards and mice work. does anybody know what could cause this issue? [01:24] !reops [01:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about reops [01:24] Jams44, if the release is old enough, the repos don't exist anymore. what version? [01:24] !repos [01:24] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [01:25] Jams44: read those ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [01:25] Jams44: repositories is the online location of the packages you install. The alternate cd only has the main repository on it. So if packages you have installed are not on the cd, they won't get updated unless you let it grab packages from the internet [01:25] i tried booting into single user mode, but the keyboard doesn't work either. [01:25] !ndis |gerber [01:25] gerber: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:25] John`Anderson - you will find that in a lot of cases, the software that Linux has available is equal or superior anyway [01:25] If i were to d/l a driver at www.nvidia.com and its for "linux 64bit" would that work for Ubuntu? or no? [01:25] Eliteslave: it should [01:25] yeah [01:25] Eliteslave: just use System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver [01:26] or that [01:26] Eliteslave: it should, but why not just use the restricted driver .. [01:26] thats true, and it's free [01:26] its old? [01:26] on a NEC Versa E6500, the notebook's mouse and touchpad don't work. however usb keyboards and mice work. does anybody know what could cause this issue? it doesn't work in single user mode either, leading me to believe that there are issues between linux and the PS/2 controller. it seems to work on solaris, and windows, but not on anything that uses a linux kernel. [01:26] Eliteslave: is it not working or something? [01:26] yes John`Anderson free in every sense [01:26] Eliteslave: Follow jrib's advice, if you have the amd64 ubuntu version installed, then you'll get the 64bit nvidia driver [01:27] !latest | Eliteslave [01:27] Eliteslave: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

I'm getting a lot of spam from my live.com account and I want to allow messages only from my contacts. [01:28] i was talking to a friend on another network, and we got into the subject of windows security issues.. and i told him, i think pretty honestly that its a marketing tactic [01:28] eseven73: that's not the point, hyperair WANTS them working [01:28] Hello!! I need to figure out a way to run SAMBA on user logon instead of at startup.. I only want samba to run if a specific user logs in.

Why? because they cant make money off it no more :P [01:29] earthmeLon, the samba-doc pakcage has all the info you would ever want on samba - if its doable - it may be mentioned in there. [01:29] John`Anderson: also because it is crap [01:29] :p [01:29] windows is good, dont get me wrong. i think its excellent as a entertainment system [01:29] hyperair: Does dmesg reveal anything? === Imaginativeone__ is now known as swiper [01:29] but it lacks security and stability.. [01:29] if you find virii and spyware entertaining John`Anderson lol [01:30] dr_willis It makes perfect sense to me. I only want to run the service if my main user logs in. Not if a guest user logs in. It has nothing to do with samba, it has to do with Linux/Ubuntu. The samba docs will provide little/no help in what I'm trying to do [01:30] my old tandy computer was more stable than my win98 machine lmao [01:30] anyone know a chan related to the Kino video editor?

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents === dvdmaster is now known as quantumstorm [01:31] !ubuntu-chat [01:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-chat [01:32] John`Anderson, please stay on topic [01:32] lol [01:32] earthmeLon: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to go for chatting [01:32] John`Anderson /join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:32] soory unop my bad [01:32] Thanks Flannel [01:32] Can anyone explain to me why I can't use two sources of sound at once? [01:32] Matillo: i told you earlier [01:33] well, I need further explanation, and just switching to alsa didn't fix the problem. [01:33] Matillo you need to install ALSA and/or PulseAudio. Check the ubuntu docs page [01:33] cant pulseaudio do that? [01:33] hello [01:33] yow|laptop: it never has for me... it always kills 1 sound, [01:33] well I feel really dumb guys [01:33] Is there a trick to getting the trac plugin ticketdep working? I have masterticket installed working correctly, just can't get ticketdep going. [01:33] IndyGunFreak yow|laptop I had to install ALSA and use PulseAudio to get my audio working perfectly [01:33] hmmm, dont think ive ever tried it. ive used sound within a browser and also a music player at the same time though [01:33] I didnt look at the second window, and guess what was running in the background? my game lol [01:34] @bookaloo [01:34] earthmeLon: i just went to Alsa, and it works fine.. ddn't need to install anything [01:34] does anyone here feeling like helping a newb with some dve problems [01:34] yow|laptop: well that's exactly what isn't working for me. [01:34] justin__: just ask your question :) [01:34] I do not want samba running when a specific user logs in. To do this, I need to remove it from init.d list and have it run when the user(s) i do want it running with logon. Does anybody have any suggestions? [01:35] Matillo - which flash plugin is selected for your browser? [01:35] yow|laptop: adobe flash. === nathan is now known as Guest74978 [01:35] thats what i have. i remember turning the volume down (but not off) for my music player (sonata) and being able to watch a flash video through firefox [01:35] i install ubuntu for the first time about a week ago and was trying to get my dvd drive to work in virtual box and i guess i changed something i wasnt suppose to now i cant read cd or dvds [01:36] I'm running Ubuntu server with Apache2 and I can't get my GoDaddy SSL to work properly. Mod SSL is installed and working, and I'm specifically working with a virtual host. I get (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) [01:36] jrib: FYI the bug with aptitude has already been reported: Bug #305504 [01:36] yow|laptop: My music player hangs up until the sound resource is freed. [01:36] Matillo, jrib ardchoille, thanks all for your help. [01:36] justin__ - try unchecking passthrough on the dvd settings? [01:36] how do i do that [01:36] owh: I see, cool. Thanks for reporting! [01:37] Matillo if you have problems after following these instructions come ask questions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [01:37] are there drivers to make blueray work on ubuntu? [01:37] Matillo - is pulseaudio or alsa selected in your sound settings? what does alsamixer show? [01:37] earthmelon: Add the startup commands to .xinitrc in each users home directory, and if necessary adding their names to /etc/sudoers for the startup? [01:37] justin__ - look under settings for the vm you created [01:37] im running duel boot with vista now vista shows everything correct [01:37] i am trying to use a website, bomomo.com its a flash based website but when i try it in ubuntu, my cpu usage goes 100% . is it a problem with my flash? [01:37] yow|laptop: I've tried both and autodetect, and alsamixer showed the levels? Not off. [01:38] it's gone now i had formatted and redone everything after a bad mbr [01:38] Im trying to convert my single disk install to a 2disk raid 1 setup folloing instructions here http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch however when i try to reboot into the raid volume it fails to an initramfs prompt and also fails when trying to boot to the original volume... i believe that the update-initramfs -u command screwed it up but im not sure how to repair this [01:38] Does anyone else who uses Ubuntu/Gnome go through periods where your 10-key keys don't work, regardless of if Num Lock is on/off? [01:38] Thank you hmuller I think you understand what I'm asking. In order to run stuff from .xinitrc as root, I need to add my user to sudoers file, eh? I will look up how to do that [01:38] jaffarkelshac: That's a pretty cpu intensive flash application in general. [01:38] Matillo, hmmm. its possible that it could be a restriction on your sound card. did it ever work for two inputs? [01:38] bthornton: nope [01:39] vista just ejects every disk as if it were no good [01:39] earthmelon: I do something similar to what you are trying to do, and that's how I did it [01:39] yow|laptop: In windows it did, yeah. [01:39] guys .. im hooking up a palm centro to my ubuntu 8.10 .. there any software i should use ? .. i just want to get the pictures [01:39] Rad: it runs fine on my laptop and compared to my pc its very low spec [01:39] earthmelon: remember the /etc/sudoers file is modified using visudo [01:39] jaffarkelshac: Which version of Ubuntu and what arch? [01:39] hmuller after I add my user to this list, I will be able to sudo foo without request for password? [01:39] well, that uses different drivers. pulse is a fairly new thing in linux and my understanding is that using two simultaneous audio devices is relatively new territory [01:40] jaffarkelshac: Any other flash sites do it or just this one? [01:40] Intrepid 32 bit [01:40] just this one Rad [01:40] earthmelon: I'll pm with you an example from my /etc/sudoers file [01:40] yow|laptop: Well, I played a flash video, without audio, then paused and unpaused my music player, and now the music player's not playing again. [01:40] I bet it's the calculations in the actionscript [01:40] hmuller thanks, but it seems all I have to do is add my main user to admin users [01:40] jaffarkelshac: I've noticed in Intrepid that flash tends to slow Firefox down completely (i.e. scrolling and even clicking menus). The slowdown seems to be porportional to the number of Flash elements on a page. [01:41] what exactly happens when you run " :!: [01:41] it just returns "bash:" [01:41] Hello, I am having serious trouble after upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04LTS and my graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 460go. After I used envyNG, I reboot to come to find that my screen/graphics card cannot be detected. I understand that many people have had this problem but I've been searching and searching for a very long time only to just give up each day and boot into windows... I've tried all I can. from the hex editing to adding to the xorg... [01:41] justin__ - if its doing it in two different OS's then it could be a hardware issue. maybe try disconnecting it and reconnecting it? [01:41] Anybody here have any ideas on my ssl issue? [01:41] what version of python comes with ubuntu 8.10? [01:42] xelapong: 2.5.2 IIRC [01:42] aheckler: thanks [01:42] Matillo - it sounds like its grabbing the audio and not letting go then [01:42] xelapong: enter "python -V" in a terminal to see which version you have [01:42] xelapond ^^^ [01:42] adm9393: can you get to a command prompt? [01:42] yow|laptop: Well it's happening with any sources, not just flash or music. [01:42] !info python | aheckler [01:42] python (source: python-defaults): An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.5.2-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 138 kB, installed size 624 kB [01:42] Does anyone know how to get rid of the bootloader on a pen drive? [01:43] Matillo - are system sounds enabled and esd as well? [01:43] yow|laptop: system sounds yeah, ESD? [01:43] ooooo thanks unop, i didnt know about that handy bot thing [01:43] crashsystems, do you want to destroy the partition table in the process? [01:43] that would be fine [01:43] Matillo - system > prefs > sound [01:44] yow|laptop: ok, i sees it. Yes it's on. [01:44] ok guys, heres my last question If I can get this to work I think I will never ever use Windows again, How do i setup Evolution to connect to my Exchange server? [01:44] i always disable system sounds but enable esd [01:44] @unop I created a new partition table in gparted, but that did not remove grub [01:44] Hi everybody, i need a pointer in the right direction,, I did a bunch of work setting up and the guys have been adding content to a trac setup on the old LTS, dapper drake, it's running 0.9.3, i need to get it up to a more recent version, in the 0.11 range, so is anyone familliar with it, and help me upgrade here? [01:44] crashsystems, use this command. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX # be very careful that you have the right device here. [01:44] when it first happened i got it to read an old win 98 cd the only cd that would run then i flashed a differnt firmware and it would only read reg dvds flashed back and now nothing [01:45] Sorcererbob: yes I can [01:45] justin__ - do you have another drive to try? it sounds like it could be a hw issue. drives do die sometimes [01:45] @unop does that just rewrite everything with zeros? [01:45] Hey [01:45] Eliteslave: try this -> http://tinyurl.com/a2fd5r [01:46] no i dont ill probably just buy another when i get some money do you think possibly my etc/fstab is corrupt [01:46] Eliteslave, the evolution connection wizard has an option for MS exchange http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16234.html [01:46] crashsystems, it does indeed [01:46] does someone use banshee with the nowplaying screenlet here ? [01:46] I can't seem to extract img files. they are being used in a torrent client while i try to extract them is that what is causing the problem? [01:46] @unop um, I hope it does not matter that the thing is mounted... [01:46] * RonPaul is wondering if anyone can help him [01:46] I can't seem to extract img files. they are being used in a torrent client while i try to extract them is that what is causing the problem? [01:46] justin__ - i doubt thats the issue if it happens in multiple OS's [01:47] ty unop [01:47] crashsystems, best to unmount it first [01:47] !repeat | RonPaul [01:47] RonPaul: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:47] cool thanks [01:47] too late [01:47] np [01:47] oh snap [01:47] RonPaul - an img would be mounted, wouldnt it? not extracted [01:47] i love ubuntu vista is going buy buy soon lol [01:47] is it possible to use compiz (which, i assume, is the "enhanced desktop effects") with the non-proprietary (built-in) ATI RADEON drivers? [01:47] jgarbers: pretty sure, will probably suck, but i think you can [01:48] can someone help me install pdfsam? [01:48] have proprietary drivers working but they don't seem to be allowing me to set up my dual monitors properly [01:48] tonsofpcs, any insight into dealing with dual monitors? [01:48] i get really weird effects when i try to set the resolutions with the ATI Catalyst control center thing [01:48] * crashsystems crosses fingers, hopes he did not destroy $5 pen drive. [01:48] jgarbers: sure, after 24 and the Unit [01:48] [or during commercials] [01:48] Hello everyone. I'm wondering with a system that has a 64 bit processor and 6gigs of memory should run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu or if everyone would suggest sticking to the 32bit version for better support? [01:48] jgarbers, 9500 and before have decent 3d accel with ati driver; later no [01:48] haha, im watching 24 too [01:49] @vixy I have ubuntu 64bit and love it [01:49] Vixy: go for 64-bit, it's not nearly as bad as it's reputation is [01:49] this is a 9800, so i guess i need the proprietary drivers [01:49] plus it will use *all* your RAM [01:49] 64bit has improved a lot in recent years [01:49] my webcam works in xawtv on the first run of the boot, but not in cheese, help! [01:49] I can't seem to extract img files. they are being used in a torrent client while i try to extract them is that what is causing the problem? [01:49] jgarbers, try system->admin->hardware drivers [01:49] For someone like myself who is new to Linux and Ubuntu I was told that wouldn't be the best choice. Was I told wrong? [01:49] RonPaul - i already addressed your question [01:50] I am trying to install a program and I when I do "./configure" I get this error: "C compiler cannot create executables" [01:50] nickrud: yes, i have done that - have the ATI proprietary drivers installed and am seeing compiz effects [01:50] ohh yeh when i try my drfive it says unable to mount location no media in drive [01:50] jgarbers, in software probaby [01:50] jgarbers, sorry, misread [01:50] Vixy: why did the person you asked say that? did they give a reason? [01:50] jos_, sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:51] This was some time ago, but they had mentioned compatibility issues with some of my hardware components and the 64 bit version having quite a few "bugs" as they said. [01:51] im sorry, i didnt get the message about configuring my seagate freeagent pro [01:51] jgarbers, that's the 8.543 driver, according to apt [01:51] thanks, I just installed and upgraded 8.04, why it did not come pre-installed? [01:51] Vixy: 64-bit has come a long way in the past year or so, you should be perfectly fine [01:52] anyone know how to enable wireless without having to log into X first? [01:52] is there anywhere where I can test to see if my mic is set up properly? I can't get anything to record in Audacity [01:52] The only thing I'm concerned about is my graphics card. I have a GeForce 9600 GT. [01:52] why isnt ubuntu colorful ? [01:52] my webcam doesn't work in cheese, just in xawtv, please help me! [01:52] joejc: That question may be best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:52] does anyone no of a way to get magicjack to work on linux [01:52] I am running ubuntu server 8.10. On startup my raid0 array doesnt load. Madadm says that the array is degraded, and it cant load (or somethign), i know that none of the drives have failed however. Any help??? [01:53] justin__: do those actually work? [01:53] i have three of them and for the price its worth it [01:53] mmm, I'd love to raid0 4 intel ssd drives... [01:54] justin__: ah, ive heard they dont, good to know that they do :) [01:54] is iptables off topic from ubuntu? [01:54] i have 3 36gb scsi and 1 40gb sata hd in the raid0 array [01:54] great for a fax or if you make alot of long distanc phone calls [01:54] thanks, I just installed and upgraded 8.04, why i"./CONFIGURE" is not pre-installed? [01:54] where can i get the gspca driver? [01:54] alguien tiene experiencia en xubuntu??? [01:54] Vixy: just google for "ubuntu geforce 9600" and you can see how others' experiences have gone [01:54] from a quick check, it looks ok [01:54] !es > arimakun [01:54] arimakun, please see my private message [01:54] what's the HDD footprint of 8.04? [01:55] if you have low bandwidth then i wouldnt suggest causes choppyness [01:55] where can i download the offcial gspca driver for ubuntu intrepid? [01:55] Vixy: you might also want to append [SOLVED] to the end of that google search [01:55] So type in something like "ubuntu geforce 9600 [solved]"? [01:55] yeppers [01:55] Anybody able to help me with the SSL certificates? [01:56] i run three computers xbox 3 majicjacks of an unsecured connection aint had no problems [01:56] could anyone help me getting qtstalker working on ubuntu? [01:56] I'm running Ubuntu server with Apache2 and I can't get my GoDaddy SSL to work properly. Mod SSL is installed and working, and I'm specifically working with a virtual host. I get (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) [01:56] hi iam missing the libGl.so in /usr/lib i have the libgl1-mesa-dev package isntalled i have seen there is an nvidia-glx-180-dev package containing this lib too which one is needed [01:56] like it works, it just doesn't download quotes from yahoo [01:57] Vixy: yeah [01:57] i've been to the install manual, downloaded all the requirements, downloaded all the ubuntu requirements... [01:57] How do I mount an iso? [01:57] still no luck - it's not getting the quotes [01:57] !iso [01:57] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:57] ok, break, what's up? [01:58] Jams44, you should go to add/remove and then select Gmout-isso [01:58] Vixy: it looks like your card is support by this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-173 [01:58] Wondering if any one can give me a hand with Atheros ar242x wifi card and 8.10, i have tried many guide to get it enabled and still no wifi.

[01:58] !qttracker [01:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about qttracker [01:59] :(\ [01:59] aheckler: Thank you very much [01:59] * Tyrath wishes there was a support channel for qttracker [01:59] !Atheros [01:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:59] where does ubuntu store cronjob files? [01:59] where does ubuntu store cronjob files/settings* [01:59] what's the terminal command to show my video card specs? [02:00] I do have one more question. In terms of installing Ubuntu. I'd like to at first isntall it on a secondary drive that I have (two sata drives, one 500GB and the other 750GB) Reason being is I'm a bit of a gamer still and would like to keep my windows installation for now. If at a later time I decided to get rid of windows all together, is there a way to have my comptuer boot directly to Linux even though it's on the secondary drive [02:00] ? Or would I have to reinstall it on the primary drive? [02:01] Bax_: Sudo lshw -C video [02:01] Vixy: yes there is a way through GRUB, the Linux bootloader, although it's probably a bit of a stretch to explain it now [02:01] aheckler: I wouldn't want it even if you could. Hehe, Not right now anyways, seeing as how I would be exploring with ubuntu first. But it's good to know that there is a way to do that. [02:02] where are the official spca5xx drivers for ubuntu? [02:02] Vixy: just remove harddrive with windows when installing ubuntu, that way it will think its alone, and completely self contained, you can use bios boot menu to choose which hdd to boot [02:02] ok bbl, hopefully someone may know then [02:02] usser: thats not a good idea [02:02] Cpudan80: why not? [02:03] * yow|laptop agrees with usser about the bios option [02:03] usser: because then you rely on the bios to do the bootloading [02:03] usser: Just replace the windows bootloader with grub [02:03] usser: Won't my computer be confused by the fact that there would be no HD in the Sata1 slot? [02:03] no [02:03] Cpudan80: yea but he said he wanted to keep windows sort of separate [02:03] so what [02:03] Vixy: not really with satas it doesnt matter [02:03] The bootloader isnt part of windows [02:04] depends where he wants the bootloader, from what i heard, he doesnt want it on the mbr [02:04] oh I missed that part [02:04] Why not? [02:04] usser: And then when I do re-put in the hard drive, how will the computer know which to go to? I know you said in the bios, but I've had hard times before booting to different operating systems when things go wrong. [02:04] he wants to just pull the other drive at will [02:04] thats the way i took it, i could be wrong [02:04] O_o [02:05] thats not a very good idea [02:05] I think I'm confusing people ^^; [02:05] Vixy: they will be completely independent, one os wont know about the other, and bios bootloader is usually something like F12 when computer boots, at least on dells that is [02:05] Vixy - its just a not a very typical way to do things, thats all [02:05] Vixy: what are you trying to achieve ? [02:06] Vixy: and what is your HDD setup now [02:06] @Cpudan80 - Vixy: I do have one more question. In terms of installing Ubuntu. I'd like to at first isntall it on a secondary drive that I have (two sata drives, one 500GB and the other 750GB) Reason being is I'm a bit of a gamer still and would like to keep my windows installation for now. If at a later time I decided to get rid of windows all together, is there a way to have my comptuer boot directly to Linux even though it's on the secondary drive [02:06] Let me explain. I have right now Vista Ultimate on my main hard drive (sata 500GB) I have a blank secondary hard drive (sata 750GB) that I would want to install Ubuntu on. At a later date, I might wish to get rid of windows all together, and I was just wondering if it was possible to have the computer automatically boot to that secondary hard drive automatically with windows gone. [02:06] where can i get a working gspca for intrepid ibex? [02:07] aheckler: Yes - you just change the default boot option for grub [02:07] !info gspca [02:07] Package gspca does not exist in intrepid [02:07] :-( [02:07] Cpudan80: haha that was Vixy's original question, not mine :) [02:07] Vixy: Are you looking to overwrite your windows bootloader right now?or no? or you don't care? [02:07] aheckler: heh ok [02:08] hmm.. the palm thing works .. i just can get pictures [02:08] it syncs everything else but that [02:08] !AR242x [02:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about AR242x [02:08] Flannel: No no. As I said earlier, I'm a gamer. I'd still like to be able to use my windows installation, but I'm saying at a later date when I get rid of windows, to have the computer boot to linux on the secondary drive like it was on the primary. [02:08] !Atheros AR242x [02:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about Atheros AR242x [02:08] -.- [02:08] Vixy: you can do that with a standard installation [02:08] Vixy: installing a new bootloader wont effect windows === zeb is now known as zesss [02:09] *affect [02:09] Vixy: The bootloader allows you to choose which one to start up [02:09] Vixy: Yes, "overwriting the bootloader" doesn't mean can't boot to windows. It would only affect it if you removed Ubuntu, you'd have to do a few steps to boot windows. [02:09] Cpudan80: but if u install grub on primary disk and later remove it wouldnt it break things? [02:09] <[TiZ]> Hi. My ellipses... the triple periods that appear when text is too long... they're turning into accented capital Es. It happens in the window switcher and in Firefox's tabs. I can't really pinpoint when it happens, it's kind of random. Does anyone know anything about this? [02:09] usser: oh I see [02:09] Cpudan80: remove the disk that is [02:09] usser: well yes - but its not hard to reinstall grub [02:09] !udev [02:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about udev [02:10] are there any good resources for converting blu-ray movies to MKV files under linux? I found several tutorials and applications for Windows but can't seem to find any linux-specific resources? [02:10] Vixy - i think it comes down to how often you would be booting between the OS's [02:10] Flannel - Cpudan80: So pretty much when I install Ubuntu on my secondary drive it will create the "bootloader" which will give me the option of which to start up in. At a later date when I get rid of windows, I can just adjust the bootloader to automatically go to linux? [02:10] does this mean anything to anyone: QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc' ? [02:10] anyone know of a good http mail program for ubuntu [02:11] Vixy: yes - you just reinstall it [02:11] Reinstall the bootloader? [02:11] zesss: http mail program? gmail.com would be one [02:11] to check hotmail [02:11] Vixy: yes - the bootloader has to go on the primary drive [02:11] zesss: hotmail.com ? [02:11] Vixy: if you remove it - then you have to reinstall it [02:11] zesss: i'm not sure an HTML program is what you're looking for [02:12] zesss: programs are seldom written in HTML unless they're located on a server [02:12] tryath im asking if there is a mail program like claw that will check my http mail also as well as my pop3 [02:12] Cpudan80: So even though nothing else would be on that primary hard drive because I "uninstalled" windows, I would have to have the bootloader as the only thing on there to point the computer to my secondary hard drive? [02:12] !iso [02:12] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:12] zesss: oh. that's a different question. have you tried evolution or thunderbird? [02:13] !thunderbird | zesss [02:13] zesss: Thunderbird is a free email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox (both by the Mozilla Foundation). To make Thunderbird links open in Firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427 [02:13] Vixy: ehhhhh yes [02:13] !evolution | zesss [02:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [02:13] ill check it out [02:13] zesss: hope you like it [02:13] Vixy: youd have to do this with windows too [02:13] cpudan80: sorry for the stupid questions. I just want to make sure I would be doing this right. [02:13] Installation help plz! [02:13] Vixy: ex if linux was on the primary drive and you got rid of it [02:13] Flyboarder: just ask your question :) [02:13] Is there any Anti-Virus software for Ubuntu? [02:13] anyone? [02:13] Vixy: The installer handles it all for you -- just make sure you dont overwrite Windows [02:13] does anybody know if ibex is going to use 2.6.29 or 2.6.28? [02:14] Eliteslave: you dont need it :) [02:14] Eliteslave: Yes there are -- but you really dont need them [02:14] the error message: QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc' [02:14] - any way to fix it? [02:14] aheckler: I am trying to install ubuntu and every time i do it opens BusyBox? [02:14] Eliteslave: Just dont run random things with sudo [02:14] Cpudan80: Just one more question and I'll leave you be ^^. Which would be best for someone like me to use? The Ubuntu 8.10 release? Or the 8.04 release? [02:14] Flyboarder: that is odd... [02:14] I've set permissions to execute read and write [02:14] both group and universal permissions are switched off [02:14] still no luck [02:14] Ok cool [02:14] ;x [02:15] aheckler: it does the same with all the other buntu cd's i have [02:15] should [02:15] Flyboarder: which ones have you tried? [02:15] should I enable group permissions? [02:15] is there a terminal command that cleans up unused packages/libs etc? [02:15] Anyone here have or know anything about Atheros AR242x wifi cards? I have tried many guides to get it working on mine and i am having no luck. [02:15] Flyboarder - did you check the cd before the install for integtrity? [02:15] adam_: sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove [02:15] adam_: there may be something under aptitude [02:15] aheckler: ubuntu,kubuntu,xubuntu, ubuntu studio, [02:16] adam_: actually scrap that and follow what aheckler said [02:16] badass, thanks. Ill go man those too [02:16] yow|laptop: yeah i have [02:16] Flyboarder: and those were all regular CD's? have you tried the alternate CD? [02:16] yep i tried that oo [02:16] too* [02:16] so do I need to d/l any drivers for my motherboard? [02:17] Eliteslave: you shouldnt need to, you've tested with the LiveCD right? [02:17] Eliteslave: intensely unlikely [02:17] i've looking for a fix where I don't have to change permissions if at all possible [02:17] because for every problem I seem to get with ubuntu I'm always changing permission ownership to this user [02:17] aheckler: I just installed it on a test laptop here at work [02:17] and i'm sure that's not the right way to do things [02:17] aheckler: a text line came up saying rejecting drive [02:18] Flyboarder: that's weird, you might want to make a post in the Installation subforum about that, more people will see it [02:18] aheckler: how can i format my drive for buntu? [02:18] nope does gamil only [02:18] would like it to check hotmail [02:18] Flyboarder -did you try safe graphics mode as well? [02:18] Ryan - like under my Ethernet connection it says "ForcedEth0" what does that mean? [02:19] yow|laptop: no ill try that [02:19] can anyone help me with cfdisk ? i was trying to create a bootable usb disk..but got the error : "Wrote partition table, but re-read table failed. Reboot to update table" [02:19] Flyboarder: well if you choose to install, ubuntu will format it for you, usually as ext3 (a linux filesystem) [02:19] gah [02:19] zesss: You'll need to get a scraper that does pop to web. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hotmail&searchon=all&suite=intrepid§ion=all [02:19] Hello [02:19] i used the ( -z ) switch when i ran cfddisk at the command line [02:19] Flyboarder, you may want to try running badblocks against your hard drive from a live disk as your drive may be failing [02:19] is there a website/reference that will explain the linux(ubuntu) file system? i.e. usr/lib/etc? [02:20] !filesyste | adam_ [02:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about filesyste [02:20] !filesystem | adam_ [02:20] aheckler: I have a live cd for windows but can i get a tool that will allow me to format the drive before i install [02:20] adam_: 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 [02:20] Sylphid: what? [02:20] So I have my alternate disk in my drive and it appears on my desktop but when i click it, it just goes into folder mode or whatever. io was never given an option to upgrade from it. any ideas? [02:20] lol you guys are good at this [02:20] adam_: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html Also has more detail [02:20] adam_: we try ;-) [02:20] Sylphid: oI had some bad sectors in my drive that i repaired with windows [02:20] adam_: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [02:21] Flyboarder: so you want to erase your entire disk before installing ubuntu, is that what you're asking? [02:21] wish I had known about this place when I was attempting to setup VMware server 2, but I switched to virtualbox [02:21] which was 10x easier [02:21] aheckler: yeah i want it to be a buntu box [02:21] Flyboarder, linux marks a drive as "failing" if there have been more than 3 bad blocks [02:21] !dban [02:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about dban [02:21] !DBAN [02:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about DBAN [02:21] garr [02:22] Slyphid: ok so i should try another hdd [02:22] can anyone help me with cfdisk ? [02:22] Flyboarder, if your in a live system open a terminal and run badblocks /dev/xxx where xxx is your hard drive (mine is sda) [02:22] Flyboarder: try another HDD or maybe boot the livecd into "safe graphics mode" if you havent already [02:23] enovativ - mark it as bootable and then quit the app, it is typically recommended to reboot after [02:23] my swap is 4GiB is it safe to cut it to 2 gigs instead? If so how would i go about doing that Gparted? [02:23] Slyphid: no working box aside from the vista one im one now [02:23] gmail [02:23] anyone have any idea why I'd be getting "Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book." when I try to log into my MSN account on Pidgin? [02:23] Anyone give me a hand with dealing with Atheros AR242x wifi. I have followed many guides and yet i still dont have wifi. =( [02:23] aheckler: ill swap out the HDD and try it again [02:23] yow|laptop: i have tried to reboot , but i can not rebot with the usb stick to on my laptop.... [02:24] yow|laptop: my laptop does not fully boot to ubuntu when i do that [02:24] yow|laptop: once i take the usb stick out...it boots fine [02:24] Hey Gang. Running 6.06.2 here and I don't find keytouch in the repositories. Am I missing something? or blind? :-) [02:24] eseven73: 2GB is plenty but if you just change the partition then ubuntu will not recognize it and then it wont use *any* swap [02:24] jer3my -> what does sudo lshw -c network tell you about your wifi? [02:24] Nothing in there about wifi. [02:24] The reason for asking is that my son bought me a nice 'multi-media' kbd and I read in the forum that keytouch is the simpliest way to get it setup. [02:25] jer3my -> what does sudo lshw -C network tell you about your wifi? === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [02:25] aheckler: hmmm I dont think i need it anyways, so its safe to delete ? [02:25] eseven73, install gparted with synaptic then run swapoff -a ... open gparted and modify the swap partition to the size you want then run swapon -a [02:25] enovativ - what are you trying to set up? maybe i missed the original question [02:25] silly question. What's the difference between Remote Desktop Viewer and Terminal Server Client? [02:25] n8tuser2, http://pastebin.com/d6fdba75a [02:26] eseven73: yeah you could just remove it, but you may have to edit your fstab afterward so ubuntu doesnt go looking for it === dhoss-laptop_ is now known as dhoss [02:26] ok ty Sylphid and aheckler [02:26] eseven73: what Sylphid said lol [02:26] yow|laptop: i want to make the usb stick bootable, and then copy windows setup files to the stick so that i can install windows onto a machine that doesn't have a cd rom [02:26] lol ok [02:26] jer3my -> what can you summarize from that result? [02:26] aheckler: what do you recomend for multi boot managment? [02:27] Flyboarder: i thought you said you wanted only Ubuntu on your disk? [02:27] n8tuser2, That its not enabled or drivers are missing, I have tried a guide that was talking about installing madwifi but it still doesnt work. [02:27] yow|laptop: i thought i could use linux to make the usb stick bootable......thru research i have found that i could use cfdisk to make the usb stick bootable. In using cfdisk i was able to pick out the options that i wanted but once i "write" to the usb stick...i get that error i mentionaed earlier. [02:27] aheckler: i do but i want all 3 so i can compare for when im building my LFS build === five_ is now known as Guest26812 [02:28] jer3my -> correct, so attempt to load the driver for it, the native or use ndiswrapper with windows drivers [02:28] maryellen: I only see Keytouch support feisty (7.x) on [02:28] installing kubuntu 8.10 on the sata disk of a pc that has an ide hard disk also with xp. how do i force grub to install on the ide disk? cause the pc doesn't see the sata disk at boot? [02:28] enovativ - so if you open it using sudo and toggle the bootable option and then try to save and then quit, you get an error? [02:28] Flyboarder: going to that length is really unnecessary, there's enough pro/con discussion online to point you to the right one === Sorcererb0b is now known as Sorcererbob [02:29] i think you have to force Compatibility mode [02:29] in BIOS [02:29] mib_md77k2, drats! what should I use here then? ;-( [02:29] disable AHCI? [02:29] n8tuser2, When i goto System>Admin>Hardware Drivers, all it says that it IS enabled but a different version of this driver is in use. [02:29] Flyboarder: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome [02:29] jer3my -> not from what you posted, its not loaded [02:29] maryellen: i wish i knew -- sorry :( . R U stuck on 6 or planning to upgrade would be my guess [02:30] aheckler: what is that? [02:30] Flyboarder: a comparison of the 2 most popular versions of Ubuntu, Ubuntu (using GNOME desktop) and Kubuntu (using KDE) [02:30] yow|laptop: i left for a minute ...did i miss a response from you ? [02:30] enovativ - so if you open it using sudo and toggle the bootable option and then try to save and then quit, you get an error? [02:31] mib_md77k2, i'm a FIRM believer that if it isn't broke, don't fix it! :-) this has been running like a DREAM for years and years now. I don't want to chance it or go thru the blues. [02:31] aheckler: ok so its booting with new HDD [02:31] using a geforce4 460 go graphics card....after installing drivers with envyNG on Ubuntu 8.04, I reboot to find that my screen and graphics card cannot be detected at all and am stuck in low graphics mode...any ideas? I've searched through forums and have found no results except to uninstall the driver and use very generic drivers. [02:31] Flyboarder: so the LiveCD works on it now? [02:32] aheckler: its still doing the loading screen [02:32] yow|laptop: yes, the error that i get is as follows : "Wrote partition table, but re-read table failed. Reboot to update table" === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik === dmay is now known as dmay[ [02:32] Flyboarder: ahh ok, but it's past the point where it failed before? === dmay[ is now known as dmay [02:32] enovativ - are you making these changes using sudo? [02:32] aheckler: no [02:32] oh lol [02:32] aheckler: not yet [02:32] lol:P [02:32] cross your fingers [02:32] yow|laptop: i su to root before i run cfdisk -z [02:33] aheckler: what do you recommend as a base for my LFS? [02:33] which distro? [02:33] yow|laptop: is there a difference between "su" to root and "sudo" to root ? [02:33] Flyboarder: what do you mean? which filesystem type would i suggest? [02:33] yes enovativ but not for that example really [02:33] or partition plan? [02:34] how do i put a picture on the bottem of my cube [02:34] aheckler: well which distro would you suggest i use to start my LFS? [02:34] enovativ, sudo retains user environment variables while su does not [02:34] maryellen: I hear you. I looked thru some release notes. Looks like there *may* have been package inclusion notes on Dapper and Edgy to include keytouch & keytouch-editor, but doesnt look like they made it in. Have you tried ALL repositories? [02:34] maryellen - i can see your point, but then you are cut off from advances in the OS. might be worth trying to live cd to test out the hw and such [02:34] Sylphid: thank you very much [02:34] Flyboarder: I run Ubuntu with GNOME and it suits me just fine [02:34] enovativ, if you what to get to a root shell the best way is sudo -i [02:34] can someone help me with my seagate freeagent drive, i used gparted to format it to ext3, and xubuntu recognizes it but i cant put anything on it [02:35] aheckler: so now it keeps bringing up errors [02:35] BellinXFelon - check the permissions on the drive folder [02:35] BellinXFelon -> you made an ext3 filesystem on it? [02:35] i did that it says read/write [02:35] yea [02:35] Flyboarder: what do they say? [02:35] was i supposed to do differently? [02:35] !who [02:35] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:35] BellinXFelon - you cant create a directory even using sudo on it? [02:36] just did the 'Make bootable USB stick' from a Live Ubuntu 8.10 CD... [02:36] for some reason, randomly, firefox (on 8.10) keeps typing "backwards"... anyone have any ideas?

[02:38] BellinXFelon -> i dont believe gparted makes a filesystem, you have to issue a command to make a file system, man mk2efs something like that === jason is now known as DBO2 === DBO2 is now known as DBO_VM [02:39] BellinXFelon -> man mkfs.ext3 [02:39] Hey guys I need help with a deb packagae [02:39] gparted will format can it not?

[02:40] Rain: You likely grabbed the wrong version. If you need an up-to-date wine version, check out the winehq repositories. [02:40] Rain: you need the package called "binfmt-support" [02:41] BellinXFelon -> man mkfs.ext3 [02:41] Let me try.. [02:41] in terminal?

[03:31] tritium it's quite irritating, expecially combined with the xinerama bug where all mouse buttons stop working... but I at least found a way around that one [03:31] exacube, create mount point and add entry to fstab [03:31] exacube: put 'em in fstab [03:31] nvidia hp...? [03:31] so, now I'm looking to do cooler stuff with ubuntu but I'm not sure what [03:32] im sorry i dont quite understand [03:32] alinaloves: did you look at nvidia homepage for a linux driver ? [03:32] for sound nob on my keyboard, its master volume that moves even though the other slider is set to control pcm. how do i change it to one that does affect my volume? [03:32] alinaloves, DasEi: no, don't use nvidia downloads either. Please use ubuntu packages. [03:32] Joe_: Window Maker has a nice session storage, if you're not apposed to using alternative Window managers :) it works with Gnome and KDE too. so you wouldnt be loosing anything. [03:32] and where could i find those packages?

[03:33] how would i go about adding it to fstab? [03:33] DasEi: it's always best to use ubuntu packages that will be under package-management of dpkg/apt [03:33] exacube: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [03:33] seven73 thanks... I might try that if I don't find something else, actually thinking of using kubuntu on my next computer (not a big fan of testing things on this one as it's my main work computer) [03:33] for sound nob on my keyboard, its master volume that moves even though the other slider is set to control pcm. how do i change it to one that does affect my volume? [03:33] ubottu: thank you [03:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [03:33] tritium, goodnight see you tomorrow [03:34] See you, Jack_Sparrow.

[03:36] what's user,auto,rw mean? [03:36] anyone know if there's a way to make xbindkeys change a keys function based off the active application? I use imwheel for my MX Revo, but for some reason imwheel doesn't recognize 3 buttons (side thumb wheel) but xbindkeys does [03:37] exacube: user makes it accesible without sudo, auto is automount, rw is read-write [03:37] Hi, so im trying to connect to my wireless network. The security is WPA2 and at first It could not see my network at all. I then installed wpasupplicant and I could then see my network but when I enter in my password it just tries to connect and then displays the enter password screen again. Im positive im putting my password in right and when i click show password its a bunch of letters and nubers [03:37] Joe_: but vmware is SOO proprietary [03:37] exacube:also did you create /media/WinXP ? [03:37] eseven73 well... I did find a "workaround" for this session restore bug... but it's more like making scripts to reproduce the functionality... not exactly how I would want to do it, but being able to script anything is why we all use Linux... [03:38] DasEi: yup :) [03:38] thanks so much! [03:38] embedded Flash on Firefox shows as a gray rectangle after a few hours of browsing on a couple of Flash websites. Restarting Frirefox helps but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent it or debug it. [03:38] ZuckusFIll: try the Sun xVM player. I tried it yesterday and put 8.04 in a VM on an xp box. flawless.... === five_ is now known as Guest94563 [03:38] why arent some packages, like XCHAT and ndiswrapper no showing up in synaptic [03:38] exacube: so save fstab, then mount -a and take a look in /media.... [03:38] Uhm, wth....My computer just started randomly typing backwards in all FF input fields, including the google search [03:38] exacube: so save fstab, then sudo mount -a and take a look in /media.... [03:38] DasEi: it wokrs :D [03:38] where can i find the list of localized ubuntu channels (like for specific regions or states in the US)? [03:38] yeah, I know, I love virtuakl box [03:38] As in, instead of the cursor moving to the right, it moves to the left. Any suggestions guys? [03:39] another interesting thing is that when Flash goes gray on Firefox and I open Mozilla Prism it still works on Prism. So it must be an issue with Firefox. [03:39] DasEi: so i can expect it to auto-mount the partitions when i boot next time? [03:39] can anyone help me with wine? [03:39] exacube: nice and yes [03:39] DasEi, again, thanks a lot! [03:39] andresmh: I use that plugin thing,,,from Mozilla [03:39] Joe_: glad you got it "working" :) [03:39] what plugin thing vigo? [03:39] Guest94563: more specific ? [03:40] anyone know how to reprogram the clear calc button on an MX5500 keyboard back into the numlock key? it seems to act like backspace which is irritating as my attempts to fix it also made the real backspace key become numlock [03:40] im trying to play on a private ragnarok server with wine but wine does not know how to connect, i think it has something to do with iptables but idk how to redirect to the server address [03:40] andresmh: No Script,,one sec,,let me look at it [03:40] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [03:40] vigo, ah yes, but how does that help?

[03:42] eseven73 downloading and installing [03:42] can someone guide me to troubleshoot audio.....? I am using ubuntu 8.10 and not able to hear any sound or play video in movie player..

[03:43] !sound | dragon1 [03:43] dragon1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

Ubuntu in the NyTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/business/11ubuntu.html?_r=1&emc=eta1 [03:45] andresmh: when I visit like youtoob or BBC1,2, I activate or allow it to run [03:45] joborociroboroqu: wine or cedega [03:45] joborociroboroqu wine? to be honest windows is prolly a better platform for proprietry gaming === u is now known as Guest6796 [03:46] hi all [03:46] vigo, did you see on their page Flash Block is having an issue with Firefox from Ubuntu?

It's too long horizontally to fit on my screen, but when i grab the edge to resize it it only lets me make it even longer, i can't make it any shorter. Anyone know what would cause this, and how i could fix it? [03:54] hmm, well in my xorg.conf its not hardly specifying anything. [03:54] grumble, why does nvidia-glx-96 not work? [03:55] Okay guys, I am getting really upset. All of my input fields in FF are typing backwards. I can't use CTRL+A to select everything and moving the cursor with the arrow keys fails. Does anybody have any suggestions? I've restarted FF. It remedied the problem, but only for a few minutes. Help will be GREATLY appreciated [03:55] e75: the new ubuntu doesn't put much in there as it uses other methods, but you can put the usual xorg.conf stuff in there and it will work [03:55] Joe_: is that the proper driver for your card? There are much newer versions. [03:55] * tanis143 comes in and flops on a couch [03:55] gotta get my dvd-rom id'd. anyone know to list id's in terminal?

[04:57] juiceypoo: open a terminal ( can't remember exactly where thats at in Xubuntu).. then type "lspci" no quotes(thats a lower case L) hit enter, and see how it identifies your wireless device [04:57] eseven73: reboot? [04:57] opera_:how do i do that...? [04:57] jskroll: na reboot is a windows concept...usually not needed in Linux [04:58] Realtek Semiconductor [04:58] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/business/11ubuntu.html?_r=1 [04:58] opera_:when i click on sound ikon i see "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" [04:58] this as a recent install, all updates, seem to recall it working before. [04:59] !realtek | juiceypoo [04:59] juiceypoo: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [04:59] eseven73:-) I was planning to install Windows7, but I got discouraged because I had to wait, so I installed Ubuntu and it's been otherwise easier than Windows, considering the help I can get. [04:59] seems like something broke it [04:59] thanks :) u are all so helpful here [04:59] eseven73: windows7 beta, that is [04:59] Hi, I want to build a how-to on integrating Gmail into 8.10 seamlessly. I have forgotten how to create a new post on ubuntuforums.org, can anyone point me in the right direction please? [05:00] you can try to listen singer online.it will auto install some fit software. [05:00] jskroll: yep, that's what makes Ubuntu great, its not the OS, there's a million distros, just as good, but its the Community that makes Ubuntu good. :) [05:00] larala [05:00] ernz, integrate how? [05:01] s [05:01] earthmeLon: ? [05:01] indygunfreak, do you know how to get compiz working on xubuntu? [05:01] DasE1 ubuntu is what I use. Latest kernel. I re-installed FF. Seeing if it fixes it [05:01] please... X appears to be broken... very very bad... [05:02] Gmail as default app, evolution database linking for contact applet compatibility, in-browser compose mailto links and notifier all in one how-to Hikeractive. Just the sort of thing I WANTED half an hour ago. I'm sure other people would be interested too. [05:02] juiceypoo: no.. seems kinda counter productive though counter productive.. xubuntu is for older hardware, compiz, can be quite resource intensive [05:02] anyone? ... any help? [05:03] Compiz in Xubuntu is an Oxymoron [05:03] Joe_:are you on cmd-line ? [05:03] hmmm, my system is decent, should i switch to ubuntu instead? [05:03] what [05:03] oh. [05:03] :D [05:03] O.o lol didnt know there was a nick by that name! [05:03] juiceypoo: well what do you consider "decent'.. adn if its decent, what made you deside to try xubuntu? [05:03] server eu.undernet.org 7000 [05:03] Hikeractive: Do you know how to make a new thread on ubuntuforums.org? [05:03] dy_: that's a no no. [05:03] Hmm, I know Gmail IS integrated by default in Firefox -- just go to Preferences, Applications and search for mailto. The contact comp. might interest others. [05:03] DasE1 yes, though an irritatingly broken one (doesn't scroll with more input and arrow keys don't work...), I have to switch to another screen (CTRL+ALT+F2) then back to see the new input... [05:04] i just am sick of windows and wanted to learn about a new os [05:04] juiceypoo you can have as many window managers as you like, if you want gnome, (default ubuntu window manager just install it, with sudo apt-get inastall ubuntu-desktop [05:04] eseven73, that's what I get for using a noun as a nick :D [05:04] well lol...a FREE os [05:04] juiceypoo: that makes sense, but you can always research the best choice. [05:04] oxymoron: haha yep :) [05:04] yes, i guess i listened to my friends first and google was thrown out the window [05:04] eseven73: thanks for whatever that was, but it did not help evolution mail :-( [05:05] Hikeractive: Yea, that's the idea. The mailto links are actually handled by an addon called WebMailCompose in my solution. [05:05] ah well jskroll least now you'll have everything you need to play mp3s/videos ;) [05:05] can't perform an upgrade for some reason [05:05] juiceypoo: xubuntu is good, nothing wrong with it, its just kinda geared towards older hardware, so compiz and xubuntu, just doesn't make much sense [05:05] says it can't calculate [05:05] eseven73: cool [05:05] IndyGunFreak IMHO the choice od desktop manager is a preferentual one, i actually like flux and use it on some machines that kde or gnome could reside quite welel [05:05] jskroll: have you tried thunderbird? [05:05] Joe_:if your x is broken, backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf and do : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:05] i understand, so ubuntu would be a better choice for running compiz? [05:06] ernz, since it's built in on the latest versions of Firefox, I would use the native -- just instruct people on HOW to do it. I'll check out the Ubuntu forums question for you. [05:06] juiceypoo: yep [05:06] eseven73: you would say that now that Ive worked so hard and dumped my gmail account in evolution [05:06] koshar1: i agree, it is definitely preferential.. but if he's wanting to use compiz.. it just seems a normal gnome or kde install would make more sense [05:06] IndyGunFreak many eeepc users use xfce with compiz [05:06] Hikeractive: I know a lot of people who prefer to rely on web-based email apps like Gmail. It's nice to have it all in one place. Nobody has done a comprehensive guide on making it all "Just work" (which people seem to obsess about in the Linux community) [05:06] koshar1: i didn't say it couldn't be done, i just said it doesn't make much sense to me.. i use regular gnome on my AAO [05:06] !lts [05:06] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [05:06] Hikeractive: I like the suggestion, how do you say to go about using FF3 to handle mailto's? [05:06] !intrepid [05:06] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [05:07] DasE1 as I said earlier... I was trying to fix an issue where (after upgrade to intrepid) my glx wouldn't work (using nvidia-glx-96), I found /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 was a symlink to the old drivers so I removed it and recreated with a symlink to the correct one, did the same for libGL.so.1 and restarted X... now it doesn't work [05:07] jskroll: lol i spent an hour trying to get Seamonkey working with gmail just this morning, failed and went back to Thunderbird [05:07] You go to FF3's prefs, then to Application tab, then search for mailto. You can select Gmail as a default there. [05:07] IndyGunFreak while i see your point i still dont concur , compiz can run fine with any desktop manager that supports it [05:07] eseven73: I have an idea: Could it be that I'm trying to access music from another user on my pc? [05:07] i wonder if im the only 12 year old running xubuntu :P [05:07] koshar1: well, then don't concur, i didn't ask for your approval of my opinion [05:07] koshar1: and i never once said you couldn't run xfce and compiz [05:08] juiceypoo i doubt it [05:08] Hikeractive: Negatory. I see "Yahoo!" mail. No gmail by default though. :( [05:08] jskroll: hmmm could be, im not really a sound guru so i couldnt say for sure. [05:08] is there another Ubuntu channel where someone new to Linux might get some help? [05:08] eseven73: ok [05:08] Hikeractive: Perhaps it installed on your FF3 alongside a toolbar or something? [05:08] eseven73: thinking with my fingers, I should just try it [05:08] IndyGunFreak i definately didnt set out to offend you just i beleive your view is incorrect [05:09] ernz, no, default install. In fact, I just installed last night onto my netbook. Which version are you running? [05:09] jskroll: are you using pulseaudio? [05:09] koshar1: well, like i said, if i'd wanted your approval, i'd have asked for it.. [05:09] Joe_:k, I see, the hint for reconfiguring xorg works on ibex too, but I'm out for upgrading issues [05:09] 8.10 w/ FF3 3.0.5 [05:09] Hikeractive: 8.10 w/ FF3 3.0.5 [05:09] i didnt mean to start that argument lol [05:09] Hmm... that's peculiar. Same here. Maybe the Better Gmail 2 Add on did it. [05:10] would i be able to find gnome or compiz on the synaptic package manager? [05:10] Hikeractive: I'll test your theory. [05:10] yep juiceypoo [05:10] ernz, it's the only addon that I have presently installed. [05:10] thanks eseven [05:10] juiceypoo: its not an argument, he's trying to suggest i said something that i didn't. [05:11] juiceypoo yes, to install gnome as i said earlier, use ubuntu -desktop and for kde , use kubuntu-desktop ect.. [05:11] im just yankin ur chain [05:11] How do I update ubuntu with apt-get dist-upgrade/ [05:11] DasE1 it seems the issue is that I had manually installed Nvidia 169.12 in hardy, when I upgraded it went to ubuntu's version of the 96.43.09 driver... but left all the symlinks as they were (pointing ot 169.12 drivers) [05:11] is there a guide somewhere? update manager is borking [05:11] 2009-01-11 22:37:30,949 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.' [05:11] Hikeractive: Interesting: Still no Gmail application [05:12] thanks for nada folks [05:12] juiceypoo: thats the nice thing about ubuntu, theres over 23,000 apps for it, if you look on wikipedia for comparison of linux distros, most of them only have like 10K or 5K apps in the repos [05:12] eseven73: and how many of them work right from the official distros? [05:12] dang thats alot of apps, ill be having my fun :) [05:12] and are you counting true apps or packages? [05:12] IndyGunFreak "it doesn't make much sense to me" 30 lines up, and it makes perfect sence to me why people would use compiz with xfce, and i gave an example with a EEEpc, [05:12] Joe_:did ibex overtook the xorg.conf of hardy ? [05:13] because ubuntu requires about 12 packages for an app that on deb required only one. [05:13] Hikeractive: U got any google apps or products installed elsewhere? [05:13] ernz, I just read that some people, like me, DO have it as a default. Perhaps it depends on whether you upgraded from a previous version to the latest or not. [05:13] ernz, and no. [05:13] koshar1: and thats why its an opinion, if you don't liek it, "/ignore indygunfreak", no quotes, will fix your problem [05:13] DasE1 yes, it all worked find minus the glx failing to load, which AFAIK is because these symlinks are all wrong [05:13] lol [05:13] IndyGunFreak whatever [05:13] tonsofpcs: according to wikipedia, appz, but who knows really [05:14] DasE1 manually putting the symlinks back to the way they were lets X start up, without working glx [05:14] DasE1 (thank god) [05:14] ernz, alternatively, while at gmail.com, you can type this in the location bar, and it will allow you to set gmail as default: javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https:// [05:14] mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Gmail") [05:14] theres alot of gnome apps i dont know which one to choose [05:14] exit [05:14] Hikeractive: A nice workaround to install the service http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links [05:15] how can i figure out what server wine is trying to connect to for a games o i can change the iptables to the proper address? [05:15] hey, I setup Raid5 through my bios (some call it FakeRAID) and I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10... I read the docs on using dmraid or the alternate install, but when I do the drive is detected as a RAID1 rather than RAID5 -anyone know about this? Thanks! [05:15] tonsofpcs: like example Fedora doesnt have a lot of window managers in the repos like Ubuntu does, I know im comparing apples to oranges at this point, but meh :/ [05:15] How do I update ubuntu with apt-get dist-upgrade/ [05:15] 2009-01-11 22:37:30,949 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.' [05:16] Joe_:hm, ibex uses xorg 7.4 and more functions are implemented in the kernel by dbus and hal, and I have no idea how to translate that to ibex, maybe a start with an emtpy xorg works [05:16] juiceypoo choose the ones you want to use, it comes down to choice at the end of the day, you are not even locked into apps by window manager, most apps will run fine on any window manager. lots of people use amarok on gnome, xfce... and firefox on KDE. [05:16] i see [05:16] how do i make chmod work on my mounted drive ? any other alternatives for changing priviledges on mounted drives ? [05:16] DasE1 definately not an xorg issue (xorg.conf.failsafe failed to load as well), it's something to do with the upgrade not doing what it should have and migrating everything over to the "new" way [05:17] modjor you could use an fstab line with specific priveliges rather than using hal [05:17] Hikeractive: Would have been a nice idea. There are too many steps for a n00b. Either way something needs installed. It may as well be webmailcompose which is configurable and supported by documentation. [05:17] DasE1, video is handled by xrandr [05:17] Hikeractive: Thanks for the idea though [05:17] let me look into fstab. thanks koshar1 [05:17] Joe_: so I got to step back there as I did fresh installs only [05:18] what is 'dual-boot system [05:18] !dual [05:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual [05:18] !dualboot [05:18] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:18] opera_, two or more os's on the same hard drive or computer [05:18] whatthefuckhaveyouthought?!

[05:25] *-* [05:25] How do I get it to upgrade, now? ;) [05:26] It's running 6.06,, I'd like 8.10. [05:26] Well thanks for the help everyone. Goodbye [05:26] !upgrade | Necrosan [05:26] Necrosan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:26] Necrosan: you'll have to go 6.06-8.04, then 8.04-8.10 [05:26] Necrosan: do a fresh install [05:26] * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ DasE1 [05:26] I can't. no cd drive in machine. [05:26] i didnt need the updates last time... but I will try that first [05:26] Necrosan: ca you boot a USB device, like a thumbdrive? [05:27] No USB on this machine. [05:27] Necrosan, if you have a seperate /home then you can fresh install the latest just don't format /home on install [05:27] Necrosan: lol, might be time to sell that to me for target practice [05:27] scunizi: It's a complicated install.

[05:28] my vid card is a 9800gtx+ [05:28] /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log, anyway [05:29] IndyGunFreak: Can i go from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 directly? [05:29] Or must I hit hardy first? [05:29] Hello everyone, quick question. I like using Geany to edit .c .java .html, and pretty much all source files that I deal with. Though currently I have to either open Geany and then use that to open a file, or right click the file and choose Geany to open it. If I just open the file on its own it opens up in Gedit. How can I set it so all source files are opened with Geany? I tried looking in "Preferred Applications" under System>Pre [05:29] f. But either I'm blind or the option isn't there. [05:29] Necrosan: 8.04 is hardy. [05:29] Necrosan, you can't go direct.. unless you fresh install [05:29] Oh, duh. [05:29] Necrosan: 6.06 and 8.04 are both LTS releases, so you can go from 6.06 to 8.04 [05:29] scunizi: yes he can. [05:29] how could I mount a partition automatically upon boot? === qwexer__ is now known as qwexer___ [05:30] IndyGunFreak, from 6.06 to 8.10? [05:30] IndyGunFreak: It is borking when I sudo do-release-upgrade [05:30] scunizi: no, he said hardy.. [05:30] I don't care if I must do 8.04 first [05:30] Baz_ you mean software raid? [05:30] Necrosan: then yes, you must to 8.04 first [05:30] IndyGunFreak, ah.. missed that.. yep your right [05:30] Necrosan: What do you mean borking? [05:30] Necrosan: go 6.06 to 8.04, then 8.04 to 8.10 [05:30] remu: i think you have to have nautilus scripts for that - the easiest way would be to install 'ubuntu tweak' and use their menu for doing that [05:30] I am trying to do that, IndyGunFreak. [05:31] It stops and says cannot calculate or some crap [05:31] Flannel: i think he was trying to go 6.06-8.10 [05:31] qwexer___, you have to edit /etc/fstab [05:31] koshar1: ya, or fakeraid thru the bios [05:31] no, IndyGunFreak [05:31] I was trying to upgrade to hardy. [05:31] Necrosan: What method are you using? [05:31] Necrosan: ah, ok... sorry [05:31] BinaryBoy000, I have an Nvidia 9200m GS, I also had an Nvidia 8400m GS, and an Nvidia Go Geforce 6150....running CS:S my performance with Wine was similar to that of it under Windows. [05:31] Flannel: sudo do-release-upgrade [05:31] Necrosan: Are you fully up-to-date with Dapper? [05:31] Flannel: Yes. [05:31] ohmygod: ok thank you [05:31] really? [05:31] Necrosan: Hmmm, do you have any third party repositories enabled? [05:31] when I tried last time, I was only getting like 25 FPS.... [05:31] also, what does everyone use as an IRC client? [05:32] hi, has anyone setup virtualisation with virtualbox with harddrive encryption (dm-crypt, cryptsetup etc)? [05:32] Flannel: Nope.. [05:32] can i use the same settings that I used in windows xp? [05:32] like the same resolution and antialiasing [05:32] my sources.list is at http://koopanet.cjb.net/sources.list [05:32] whats the easiest way to convert ubuntu into debian? [05:33] Necrosan: hmm, alright; that all looks good. And you've installed update-manager-core I imagine, yes? [05:33] trailmonger: Not painlessly, no. Reinstallation is the easiest way [05:33] Flannel: yep. If you'd like I can let you ssh in to poke around.. [05:34] anyone know of any good free windows proxy servers [05:34] strychnine: ask in ##windows [05:35] Necrosan: Hmm. I see a bug about this here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/277985 Does your main.log (I have no idea where that log is in your filesystem) say somethign similar?

And then (just to be sure) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Is this a server machine? or a desktop machine? [05:38] Flannel: A bit of both [05:38] Flannel: does that mean the ops here will start taking out factoids like '!codecs' and '!medibuntu' because of competition financially? [05:38] Just comment out each line in sources.list with backports in it to disable them, correct? [05:38] eseven73: No. [05:38] cool :) [05:39] Necrosan: right. And "desktop" -- Do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? (or xubuntu/kubuntu) [05:39] It should be installed, how do I check again?

[05:41] zetheroo what specificly is the prob? try runningfrom command prompt and look for a message, are you using simple or menu mode?

SPARC is still supported, yeah. Well, ok, don't worry abotu disabling backports yet. We'll disable them when we mvoe to Hardy [05:42] I have install gsynaptic, and it asks me to add "SHMConfig" to true in xorg.conf or XFree86Config, thing is I don't have the latter and in the first there is no device section for mouse..

[06:13] i enabled desktop effects and other effects through compiz fusion..andmy system has become very slow....how can i retain these effects and still make my system faster [06:13] Titan8990, they have the latest versions in WIndows [06:13] Dr_future, typically, you just wait [06:14] Dr_future, unless a new version has a fix or feature that you must have [06:14] DarkKnight faster hardware [06:14] Dr_future, then you can compile the source for the program [06:14] Darknight: download the settings manager for compiz [06:14] koshar; i meant any settings to be changed [06:14] Dr_future, it is doubtful you will ever need to however [06:14] Flannel: After editing sources to hardy and sudo apt-get update then what? [06:14] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?

[06:16] Titan8990, to fix many things [06:16] Dr_future, what problems are you having? [06:17] Titan8990, sorry, but that's illogical, I wouldn't notice those security holes for instance, it's not my job, I have to update it to the latest version that's all [06:17] calebh2; what am i supposed to do now [06:17] Dr_future the versions in the repos are generally the latest stable builds however if you hare not running the latest distro you can use backports, personal builds or compile from source [06:17] DarkKnight: mess around with the settings. I have run compiz on an old intel intigrated grapics card before [06:17] Dr_future, download the firefox package from the mozilla website here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0.5&os=linux&lang=en-US [06:18] Big server [06:18] Dr_future: I run ubuntu 8.04 and I have firefox 3.0.5 installed .. and its the latest version in the repos I believe [06:18] ubuntu is not playing dvd's [06:18] please help [06:18] Dr_future, the repos will always be behind main versions for two major reasons A) manpower B) ubuntu devs add patchs to software thus taking longer [06:18] Dr_future by the way the latest version in the repos is 3.0.5 for firefox [06:18] I have vlc and did all the command to get libdvd [06:18] still nothing [06:19] calebh2; i wanted to have all those desktop effects...but its making my system slower [06:19] Dr_future, it is rare I come across a case in which I need to dl and compile for a new version [06:19] rach: what dommds did u do ? [06:19] hmm, well, when I searched for Firefox in synaptics I found green boxes, does that mean I have the latest version? [06:19] or that version?

[06:30] back [06:31] Meh. [06:31] Or maybe I could do it through http - is there a simple,stupid way to setup a ftp/http (whatever the easiest) fileserver with ubuntu? [06:31] Dr_future, yes, ubuntu has a firewall but it is not nescessary [06:31] Dr_future: I'll find you a link. [06:31] ok jinja-sheep [06:31] rxs: this DVD plays perfectly on the other 3 Ubuntu Hardy machines here ... [06:31] Dr_future, in windows you have network services installed by default [06:31] Dr_future, and you have to concern youself with malware "getting out" [06:31] Dr_future, this is not the case in linux === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo [06:31] Dr_future: Brush up on your reading skills. It is an overview of all security practices in Linux -- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security [06:31] that's really interesting, but no viruses in Linux? [06:31] rach: yes looks like a new dvd and the css keys are not there .. it needs to get them ... okay .. try this .. in ur home dir ... ~/..dvdcss/ .. u will see the keys ... try copying them from teh machines in which the dvd wirks [06:32] And no, you don't really need Firewall. :) [06:32] Dr_future, they exist but there are not "in the wild" only from direct attacks [06:32] Or maybe I'm on the wrong channel...where should I go for ssh/scp help? [06:32] Dr_future, but the sudo feature of Ubuntu more or less protects you even from those existing viruses [06:33] amina, missed your question, sorry [06:33] rach: check in ~/.dvdcss [06:33] rach: Do you have DVD reader? Or is it very old machine you're trying to use? [06:33] Titan8990, I see, I have to learn more about this interesting OS :) [06:33] rxs: ok... but that will only make this one dvd work right? ...

I am not sure about the others ... but if the machine can connect to teh net and fetch keys .. then others too shld [06:34] Dr_future: How do you react with it in the past? [06:34] Dr_future, did you already uninstall the existing version of firefox from synaptic? [06:34] Titan8990, no [06:34] Do I have to? [06:34] rach: do you see any keys that have the name of the dvd title ? [06:35] You drag and drop in the add-on window. Or I do this... Add the plugins through the "Firefox Addons" [06:35] rxs: yes [06:35] Dr_future, yes, and this version will need to be uninstalled manually [06:35] Titan8990, I'm downloading stuff from a computer to another (I'm on a third machine, sshing into one of the others) using scp and I can't go faster than 20KB/s, which is really slow. [06:35] Dr_future, compiling from source really defeats the purpose of using a distro like ubuntu [06:35] rach: try copying that and see if it plays [06:35] Dr_future, but I will still show you how if you want [06:35] Titan8990, you mean, that tar.bz2 is a source code? [06:35] rxs: nope .. still no joy [06:35] Titan8990, scp is not a speed oriented protocol [06:35] lol [06:36] amina, scp is not a speed oriented protocol [06:36] Titan8990: He was talking about Firefox addons, I believe. [06:36] Dr_future, yes, it is [06:36] I need a little help with iptables. Right now I'm using iptables to reject with error packet any attempt to connect to port 22 if I want to allow only my computer do I use -A to append the rule using my ip and ACCEPT or do I need to delete the REJECT rule, etc..... [06:36] Titan8990, yeah I want to experience this , for learning purpose at least :) [06:36] jinja-sheep, no, he wanted a version of FF that wasn't in synaptic [06:36] SO, how could I uninstall ff first? Titan8990 ? [06:36] why is dvdcss not working ... arrrgh [06:36] Dr_future: Stick to the repos. [06:37] jinja-sheep, I just want to do this for fun :) [06:37] I want to learn the way though [06:37] Dr_future, if you would like to learn to compile from source only for the learning experience, I recommend doing it on an app that you don't use [06:37] of how I could install from a source code [06:37] rach: New thinkpad -- don't mean a thing. Do you know if it can read DVDs in first place? [06:37] Titan8990, Could you recommend something? [06:37] Titan8990: I got a idea. [06:37] jinja-sheep: of course it can -- what a question ... [06:37] jinja-sheep: sorry about the late response, what would my user name is howls [06:37] how can I get the network monitor thing back in gnome panel? [06:38] Dr_future: Have fun RTFM this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware :) [06:38] what is the command line to remove all newly downloaded packages from the apt cache please ? [06:38] Dr_future, I have a perfect app to teach compilation with :) [06:38] ok jinja-sheep [06:38] yes Titan8990 ? [06:38] rach: can you please check teh region setting related issue in the page u have been following and see if thats an issue ? [06:38] Titan8990, ok (but still weird, even a small fraction of the available bandwith would still be way more than this). What should I use (I don't care about encryption) [06:38] Could someone do me a favour please? Looking at the Synaptic Package Manager, what are the steps to add a repository? [06:38] amina, for speed, I would use WebDAV or ftp [06:39] rxs: the region is set to NONE .. just like on the other machines [06:39] amina, of NFS if they are both linux clients [06:39] howls: Look into chown. It probably is what you're looking for. [06:39] "FATAL: Module binfmt_misc not found." occurs on 8.10 during boot, rendering startup impossible. has anyone ever encountered this? [06:39] Dr_future, i am grabbing a link [06:39] Great [06:39] emz: you want to add a restricted repo or a whole new one? One you can do from synaptic the other requires editing sources.list [06:40] rach: I am confused.. if the machine has tried to fetch the keys ... and if it was successfully get them ... [06:40] Titan 8990, I don't know much about WebDAV, but actually ftp seems like a decent choice. Thanks! [06:40] Dr_future, http://www.openwall.com/john/ [06:40] rxs: yeah .. tell me about it ... confused is the word ... [06:40] rxs: maybe I should reinstall Ubuntu from scratch again ... [06:40] Dr_future, download the stable version 1.7.0.2 [06:41] password cracker? [06:41] what's that Titan8990 ? [06:41] simplenewb: "deb http://debian.o-hand.com hardy/" <- Non restricted. I am putting together a how to and I need to know the steps - synaptic is being stupid atm not letting me in until I restart and I cant do that because I'm half way through the how to [06:41] please does someone know the command line to remove all newly downloaded packages from the apt cache ? thanks [06:41] Dr_future, it cracks pasword hashes [06:41] rach: no ... thats too much .. there should be an easier way .. can ypu please try mplayer ? [06:41] Dr_future, its what we learned source compiling on in school [06:41] ok [06:41] Ok [06:42] persei: Look in the manual. [06:42] I think my Ubuntu OS is completely gone... OS Select does not display it, yet it says that Ubuntu is installed (I installed it with the Wubi Partitioner). This happened after I had to abruptly press the button to reboot forcefully after GNOME stopped responding. [06:42] jinja-sheep: thank you for this helping answer. [06:42] jinja-sheep: I've tried using chown, it doesn't seem to help [06:43] Titan8990, tar.gz. or tar.bz2? [06:43] Dr_future, either is fine [06:43] persei: Seriously. Look in sudo apt-get --help [06:43] Dr_future, tar.gz is faster compessing/decompressing but bz2 is more compressed [06:43] howls: What command did you use? [06:43] Today, my ubuntu 8.04 decides to play my music through my earphones as well as my internal pc speakers :( :(. How to I channel the sound through the earphones only? [06:43] Dr_future, smaller size I mean [06:44] Ah [06:44] jinja-sheep: sudo chown www-data:www-data filename [06:44] ok Titan8990 I have downloaded that tar.gz [06:45] what shall I do now? === five_ is now known as Guest6942 [06:45] extracting it?

Afte upgrade i am unable to log in my xp partition though files etc. are visisble. [06:46] Dr_future then: did you get tar.gz or bz2? [06:46] Dr_future, sorry gave you wrong command a second ago [06:47] Dr_future, should be: cd Desktop/ [06:47] ah [06:47] jinja-sheep: okay, thanks for the help [06:47] yeah, now it's fine [06:47] howls: Did it work? :3 [06:47] any one to help me with how to bring back the dual boot of xp.

[06:49] jinja-sheep: it did work on the img directory btw. [06:49] tar xvf=extract? [06:49] Dr_future, tar is the archive tool used to extract [06:49] howls: I suppose you should do this... gksudo nautilus -- It'll open the directory in root. I'm sure you can place files in there under root admin. [06:50] Dr_future, x = extract [06:50] Ah [06:50] Ah [06:50] Dr_future, v = ( in nearly every command) verbose mode [06:50] Dr_future, and f = uncompress the .gz format [06:50] where are all the icons in the menu bar in the home dir.

[06:51] Dr_future, alright, type: cd john-1.7.3.1/src [06:51] jinja-sheep: it doesn't make sense to me why it wouldn't allow my regular user to create or alter files even though I belong to the group [06:51] src=source code?

I attempted to manualyl move every symlink to the correct version but now it X just fails to start (starts then crashes, dmesg says a segfault)... how do I fix this? [06:56] yeah Titan8990 [06:56] jinja-sheep: thanks for the help. There isn't a group www-var on Hardy [06:56] Titan8990, what's that I'm downloading right now? [06:56] Dr_future, when it is finished, you can compile john with: make system linux-x86-sse2 [06:56] a compiler? [06:57] and is there a command line to apt-x to know which package a specific file installed belong to ? [06:57] howls: You can do it via GUI? System --> Admin --> Users + Group :) [06:57] is there a package that will keep similar/exact same commands from being save in my .bash_history file? I find it very useful to have my previous commands stored there but if I'm testing something i often end up with 20 duplicate entries in a row. [06:57] Dr_future, a compiler along with some other needed programs that help automate the compilation proccess [06:57] Ah [06:58] Dr_future, source usually comes with a "make" file that does all the compiling work for you [06:58] hello?

[06:59] Dr_future, I don't see a private [07:00] Yes I might be able to help with that, I recently setup my ubuntu with windows dual boot myself [07:00] jinja-sheep: but if I do 'groups howls' it shows me as part of www-data (which is the group that all the major www direcories are assigned) [07:00] Trenter: I'm trying to figure out, if my window partition is in /dev/sda1 or not [07:00] Trenter: I'm trying to figure out, if my window partition is in /dev/sda1 or if it's somewhere else [07:01] howls: If you're part of the group, then you should be able to move files into the said directory.

[07:41] howdy, can any of you folks explain to me why a command line dig works very rapidly, but through xchat or firefox DNS lookups are hellaciously slow? [07:41] Wald1: you can do `command &` and that'll free up the terminal. [07:41] Wald1: but if you close the terminal, the window will close [07:42] does anyone here use msn in pidgin? [07:42] at all/ [07:42] or are you all anti microsoft enough not to bother using msn either..? [07:42] <_2> Wald1 the "nohup" command is made for that also if you don't want to just drop the process to the backgound but rather completely "disown" it.

[08:10] <_Cid> oh ...its on remote-exploit.org I seem to recall [08:10] _2: eg "dig google.com @dns.server.ip" [08:11] <_2> CAiRO_ checking [08:11] <_Cid> Joe: look at the manual that you kept nicely with the original driver CDs all these years ;-) [08:11] Wow. I guess they really want me to go ask someone for help. [08:11] Install xchat, start it and it autoconnects me here. [08:12] <_2> CAiRO_ ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [08:12] any staffers in here? [08:12] <_Cid> Joe: seriosly - while you can find out what chips you got individually (like CPU, embedded sound etc etc) I know of no command that will striaght up tell you what MB you got :/ [08:12] blurr: staffers of what? [08:12] starnestommy, freenode? [08:13] _Cid ok, mainly I just need to know what PCI-E slot it has (it's old, and I put it together years ago), just want to make sure it'll support a new graphics card before I buy it [08:13] blurr: join #freenode and state what you need there [08:13] _2: well, maybe your router isnt doing what it should do? [08:13] <_2> CAiRO_ ? it's a ubuntu box [08:13] starnestommy, thnx [08:13] Flannel: the netboot method i posted seems to be working [08:13] we shall see ;) [08:14] <_Cid> Joe_: uh ..how old ....PCI-E is not THAT old ...I tend to use old MB's for linux boxes - and with my definition of old ... we still talking AGP [08:14] EOG 2.24.1 takes 10 seconds to load... anyone also having this? [08:14] _2: well, i dont know if ubuntu is configure to gateway network traffic by default [08:14] <_Cid> Joe_: seriously, before you buy - it seems worthwhile to put a phillips #3 to the test ;-) [08:14] <_2> CAiRO_ it's not the gateway. if it were it would affect all boxen [08:14] <_Cid> Joe_: you need to open it anyway to install said card .... whats the harm? ;-) [08:14] _Cid: Well... I built it before I moved here, which means at least 3 years ago, and I didn't have much to spend... so :P [08:14] <_Cid> Joe_: seriously doubt it has PCI-E then [08:15] _Cid having to open it up, find out, put back together, turn on, research cards, buy card... [08:15] * _2 warns that "default" isn't in his vocabulary [08:15] _2: ah, ok, can you ping external servers by their ips from your lan box? [08:15] why oh why does network manager suck so much? [08:15] _Cid yes, I'm just trying to be lazy... I know the cards it currently has is a GeForce 6200 and a Quadro NVS280 PCI [08:15] <_2> CAiRO_ yessir [08:15] wow...thats a fair few users >< [08:16] <_Cid> Joe_: "put back together" seems like an optional step ;-) but even then, faster than buying blindly ..open box ... put box back together ..take card back to store ...do more research, order old card online ;-) [08:16] _2: hmm, and does the dsn check work from other boxes in your lan? [08:16] <_2> CAiRO_ yessir [08:16] <_2> with the exact same /etc/resolv.conf i might add [08:17] <_Cid> Joe_: good question though ...can we see what kind of BUS we got going ... humm..worth a try [08:17] _2: hmm, thats strange.. maybe your have a difference in the routing configuration or maybe youve set up some iptables rules on the problematic box? [08:17] I was wondering if anyone might know why my ubuntu has an odd quirk. I have music on an internal harddrive. Audacious wont play it until I manually open the harddrive from nautillus. It seems kind of like a permissions thing? [08:17] <_2> i'm not sure why the wlan and eth are showing up in "ifocnfig" on that box though. only br0 should be showing... [08:18] <_2> CAiRO_ i hadn't thought of iptables, but i'll check [08:18] did anyone try to run win7 under virtualbox? === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [08:18] <_2> CAiRO_ nope all clean there [08:19] _2: you could try to put down those interfaces you don't need... ifdown eth0 or ifconfig eth0 down [08:19] what exactly is Create a USB Startup Disk? [08:19] albech, sounds like more of a #virtualbox question [08:19] _2: even though i would think those other interfaces dont do any harm if you can ping external servers by their ips [08:19] Ahadiel: you are probably right, but i was just trying here ;) [08:19] <_2> CAiRO_ ummm, yeah i could... i'll probably lose sshd that way, but i have physical access too [08:20] <_Cid> Joe_: I dont know, and I got no pci-e here ..so not sure what to look for .... sorry ...I would imagine there would be SOMETHING in dmesg or so [08:20] _2: ah, ok, than don't [08:21] <_Cid> Joe_: oh ...err..I think I do have pci-express ..... try dmesg | grep pci see what you get [08:21] _2: you could maybe try to find out if you can reach other dns servers from your problematic box [08:21] <_2> CAiRO_ heh too late. and killing both interfaces errored with/ run-parts: /etc/network/if-down.d/resolvconf exited with return code 1 [08:21] <_2> maybbe i need to remove some /etc/network/if*/crap [08:23] _2: well, i would try to find out why the connection to the dsn server cannot be made.. there has to be a reason for that [08:25] <_2> CAiRO_ yes, give me a minute to reset the box after changing some scripts. i'll let you know how it goes. [08:26] _2: ok, good luck [08:26] My BIOS loading Was VERY SLOW, why ? [08:27] _Cid: Ok... it is older than I thought... AGP card [08:27] other than /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group what files does getpwnam() require ? [08:28] neil_d: maybe /etc/nsswitch.conf [08:28] * _Cid is resisting the *I told you so* [08:29] neil_d, require?? those should cover it [08:29] neil_d, but /etc/g{shadow,passwd} might be used too [08:29] <_Cid> Joe_: mind you - you can get some pretty nifty AGP cards for a pretty good price - what kind of graphic needs you got? ...I dont game much (anymore) but I ran wow (under wine) full raid settings with a nvidia AGP under linux [08:30] _CId 4 monitors [08:31] <_Cid> Joe_: ah..I see [08:31] _Cid: I was using GeForce 6200 and Quadro NVS280PCI (Now I remember why I found that damn PCI card), Intrepid doesn't like either [08:32] <_Cid> Joe_: I got zilch experience in multiple monitors, sorry :/ [08:32] proftpd wont start, says "hansserver - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket" (hansserver is my hostname) [08:33] <_2> hmmm i seem to be making matters worse. now i can't even ping by ip anything on the inet. [08:33] <_Cid> p4rse: you made sure nothing else runs on that port? :) and/or that whatever user you trying to start it with have rights to write in /var ? (just things of the top of my head [08:34] <_Cid> p4rse: when I say /var ...its whatever file its trying to set its lock file [08:34] <_2> CAiRO_ no joy. [08:34] _Cid mainly used for work (programing, low-graphics) so most I use it for is to watch a tv show or two [08:34] _Cid: sudo started it [08:35] <_Cid> p4rse: was a permission thingy then, oh well - now you rocking :-) [08:35] <_Cid> Joe_: I am impressed - you can program on 4 screens at the time ;-) [08:35] _Cid: i mean i when i did "sudo proftpd" i got that error [08:35] <_Cid> p4rse: oh :/ [08:36] _Cid heh, 1-2 for the actual code, rest is for references and test copies [08:36] any other webcam compatible programs other than kopete?

[08:36] yeah [08:36] <_2> ok, i found it. the wlan0 being up but not turned on (no ap avalable) seems to have been interfearing with dns resolution for some "unknown to me" reason. [08:37] <_Cid> p4rse: have a look to see if that port is in use already - try 'netstat -n | grep 23' [08:37] _Cid: 20 and 21 [08:37] <_2> CAiRO_ found it. [08:37] <_Cid> p4rse: err..21 I meant ....not 23 ...that is..err..telnet? [08:37] * _Cid forgets his ports [08:37] wI saw the harddisks in the system monitor it showed me 2 one sda1 which is of type ext3 and the other one is .gvfs can u tell me wht these are [08:38] hi guys I need a lot of help please, I have a 2TB raid set and it used to have a bunch of partitions and an ntfs drive for my data (about 1.5TB), but I expanded the ntfs partition with I think GParted and now I cant access it (it shows as 47GB and the rest unpartitioned but I deleted the older partitions and expanded the NTFS partition to take the whole drive) [08:38] I have all my data on this 1.5 TB partition and I just wanted to expand it to use all 2TB, after I expanded it I could access it but then I rebooted and now I cannot anymore [08:38] please any help or direction would be _very_ appreciated [08:38] On my school computer, the installed version of Emacs is old.

[08:43] <_Cid> p4rse: its basically a matter of how you organize your servers - I am sure other people feel strongly for inetd ... but standalone works really well on a nice modern system like Ubuntu [08:44] Hi [08:44] <_2> oh man this is nice. Memory Used/Total Percent: 9/439 MB (2%) [08:44] <_2> Swap Used/Total Percent: 0/0 MB (0%) [08:44] I saw the harddisks in the system monitor it showed me 2 one sda1 which is of type ext3 and the other one is .gvfs can u tell me wht these are [08:44] <_Cid> p4rse: I havent used inetd in ages, but it used to be the one place where you defined all your services ... so you could 'restart all internet services' with one command [08:44] sleepy_cat: what do you mean by that? [08:44] _Cid: ok, will standalone start automatically on reboot etc like most daemons do? [08:45] How do I enable my playlist to automatically load using amarok?

[08:52] <_Cid> p4rse: sweet ...now...you know FTP is notorious un-secure right? ;-) [08:52] <_Cid> Gianpon: personal preference, but I like blue fish [08:52] <_Cid> Leo: its security ;-) if you do not like it ... you can run as root ...its not recommended though [08:52] Leo: it's supposed to ask for a password [08:53] hi all, i'm running ubuntu 8.04. Yesterday I installed the new kernel 2.6.24.23-generic and when asked to replace menu.lst i let it create one (after backing up my own). For some reason with the new autogenerated menu.lst I'm unable to boot any of the installed kernels including the new one .23... i'm getting an Error 15 File Not found message. any ideas what's causing this ? I can't boot any kernel other than the one i'm using now [08:53] (2.6.24.21-generic). thanks [08:53] * _Cid wonders if he is about to be channel kicked for suggesting using root ... [08:53] yeah, and i give it the administrator password [08:53] <_Cid> Leo: for sudo, you should use your own password [08:54] <_Cid> Leo: when you as a regular user need to perform actions reserved for super users ...it will prompt you for the passwd [08:54] _Cid: how do i make it more secure? basically what i need is that each user has ftp access to ~/ [08:54] i am the administrator.no other guess session [08:55] <_Cid> Leo: shrug.... you can make yourself root then if you like .... 'sudo su' [08:55] ok [08:55] _Cid: sudo -i is safer [08:55] _Cid: Bluefish is not a very coprehensive editor? I agree with you that a program that can do great thing can do well the little ones also, but I'm not really using html... [08:55] <_Cid> p4rse: use encrypted file transfers ;-) or at least sandbox your ftp access [08:55] <_Cid> Starnestommy: never did that ...whats thedifference? [08:56] _Cid: sandbox ftp access? [08:56] <_Cid> p4rse: openssh come with some great stuff, including secure file transfer - that way no one can sniff your mates username/password [08:56] <_Cid> p4rse: they would need a secure client..like ... err..WinSCP ...or something like that (if they are on windows) [08:56] p4rse: oh, is it easy to set up? [08:57] lol [08:57] oops [08:57] im studip [08:57] remove username/p from that statement and it becomes quite funny [08:57] <_Cid> p4rse: sandbox means a closed of area of your server, so even if it is comprimised, thats as far as they go [08:57] _Cid: ok. is openssh file transfer easy to set up? [08:58] <_Cid> p4rse: openssh is easy to set up, yeah 'apt-get install openssh-server' [08:58] p4rse: apt-get install ssh [08:58] <_Cid> p4rse: I think it will ask you some questions, and help you generate a key [08:58] <_Cid> p4rse: now your work is done ...just need to make sure your users use a secure client [08:58] How can I install software without sudo privileges? [08:58] i already have sshd, but how do i use the secure file transfering thing? [08:58] in addition to it I'd like a software with an easy to use GUI for tables. Surely i can edit it manually, but it will require a lot of time and a nice coding is not so important in my case [08:59] <_Cid> p4rse: assuming your friends on are on windows - this one works great (and its free) http://winscp.net/eng/index.php [08:59] <_Cid> p4rse: its part of the bundle baby, you already done ;-) [08:59] <_Cid> Gianpon: yeah, agreed - bue fish is mostly text based ...sorry ...thats as far as my leet html coding goes ;-) [09:00] <_Cid> p4rse: whoever can ssh in ...can also scp in [09:00] _Cid: oh, nice [09:00] _Cid: No problem, thank you! [09:02] how do I turn off antialising for small fonts on the gdm/gnome login screen? [09:02] Gianpon: tables in html are really easy actually...
row 1 cell 1row 1 cell 2
[09:03] <_Cid> Gianpon: you looked at NVU? [09:04] Gianpon: i would say learn html instead of hunting down a good html editor for linux and then learning that program... http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp [09:04] <_Cid> Gianpon: http://nvu.com/ === Gumby is now known as |test| === |test| is now known as Gumby [09:05] p4rse: yes, I know and I can made a table textually, but it is a long process to do considering the fact that the contents of the table will be something that you read once and then forget about them... === kevin_ is now known as kevin83 [09:06] * _Cid is watching the NVU video ...looks fancy [09:07] p4rse: in addition to it I'm not trying to build a nice site, I only need some html code to paste on my blog [09:08] Gianpon: what do you need? i could try slapping up a quick table for you [09:08] I saw 2 harddisks in the system monitor it showed me 2 one sda1 which is of type ext3 and the other one is .gvfs can u tell me wht these are [09:09] <_Cid> !gvfs [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs [09:09] <_Cid> its a gnome virtual file system [09:09] <_Cid> sleepy_cat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS here you go :-) [09:10] p4rse: I need something stupid like this: http://tablegen.nfshost.com/, where I can insert datas and have in response some code. Maybe it will be useful to have the possibility to paste some code and edit it. That's all! [09:12] Is there any way to get rhythmbox to treat a lowly thumbdrive like an iPod for syncing purposes? [09:13] Artanis00, [09:13] banshee has ipod support i think [09:14] try installing banshee [09:16] Melik: I'm thinking the other way round: trying to treat a usb thumbdrive as if it was an iPod. [09:17] oh [09:17] no idea [09:18] <_Cid> Artanis00: no idea ...can rhytmbox place some music in a custom folder? ...then you could use rsync :P [09:19] <_Cid> Artanis00: (keep 2 fodlers in sync) [09:19] _Cid: possibly [09:20] <_Cid> Artanis00: then it would work both ways ... you recorded some new awesome music int he studio ..got it on your key ... sync ...now you got it in rhytm [09:20] true [09:21] that's interesting: http://tableizer.journalistopia.com/ you can just paste you OOCalc text and have a table back [09:21] <_Cid> Gianpon: did you look at nvu ? :) (just making sure it didnt get lost in channel spam) [09:22] _Cid: though it lacks in the ability to sync only a certain playlist, i think [09:22] <_Cid> Artanis00: lacks lot of stuff, not really a solution - just a hack :P [09:22] I know [09:23] <_Cid> Artanis00: how are plyalists stored? ..could you parse it ? ;-) [09:23] <_Cid> Artanis00: I mean..is it just a bunch of text? :) [09:23] _Cid: I think it's in rhyhtmbox's DB until you export. [09:24] then it becomes a .pls file [09:24] <_Cid> Artanis00: which could be parsed...and parse to rsync? ;-) [09:24] probably [09:24] _Cid: Yes, I had a glimpse on it, but everything seems too professional and heavy for my poor old laptop, so i continued my search of some online tools [09:24] <_Cid> Gianpon: oki :-) [09:24] _Cid: just need a way to automate playlist export, then [09:25] <_Cid> Artanis00: is there a CLI interface to rhytmbox? [09:25] _Cid: yes [09:25] <_Cid> Artanis00: hehe ..wont be pretty - but sounds doable [09:26] _Cid: but there's no playlist export on it [09:26] hi [09:26] <_Cid> Artanis00 rhythmbox-client --print-playing ...will print the current songs ... humm..maybe not [09:27] hi to all [09:27] <_Cid> Artanis00: oh well, i tried - I need a few minutes to heat up a bottle for the little one, brb ;-) [09:27] _Cid: thanks for your help [09:27] is there someone using a k7 kernel ? id like to have the output of uname -r please [09:28] no [09:29] hi can anyone tell me what is the name of icons scheme for ubntu 8,10 [09:30] what === ara_ is now known as ara [09:31] is it called human or tango ? [09:31] icon pack [09:31] used in ubuntu 8.10 ibex [09:31] both, human by default [09:32] misunderstanding and bewilderment... romantical! [09:33] in my volume control i keep going to "recording" and unmuting the mic and line in, only to have them mute again when i close the volume control. sound card is audigy [09:36] I'm having problems logging to MSN using pidgi, I get this message: Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book I've googled but can't find solution [09:36] zuberot: same here [09:36] zuberot: msn problem i guess [09:36] zuberot: try emesene [09:36] yes, apparently everyone is affected [09:36] MSN must have changed their configuration slightly [09:37] fosco_ emesene works fine, I like Pidgin as my IM client ;) [09:37] Hi all, in my menu.lst I have 3 ubuntu kernels on there and 1 non-ubuntu distro kernel.... the non-ubuntu boots fine but all the ubuntu's start booting until they reach a stage where it says "Starting Boot scripts /etc/rc.local"... at that point I see brief flashes of a mouse cursor on a black background then it returns to the booting rc.local message and hangs there forever. Can you please help me fix this ? Here is my menu.lst [09:37] http://rafb.net/p/5v1UdV14.html and my unmodified /etc/rc.local http://rafb.net/p/w4gD3547.html . thanks [09:38] is xibuntu pretyt much a standard ubuntu system with xfce instead of gnome ? [09:39] batcoder-7: yes [09:39] yep [09:39] hai [09:39] anything else different ? [09:39] batcoder-7: in fact you can turn your ubuntu into xubuntu by just install the xubuntu-desktop package from synaptic [09:39] that will allow you to select XFCE (or GNOME, of course) from the login menu [09:39] less gnome, more xfce [09:39] hmmi installed a regualr xubuntu install [09:39] 2 things though [09:40] either xfce got more bloated or xubuntu has like 200 daemons in the background i dont need ;) [09:40] male or female [09:40] both, probably [09:40] 200 daemons ? [09:40] thank you everyone... I must study a bit now. See you! [09:40] why I'm getting this: E: Package pidgin-msn-pecan has no installation candidate [09:41] why does my mic keep muting itself? [09:41] zuberot: because it's not in the repositories [09:41] SlimeyPete: solution ? [09:41] male or female? [09:42] zuberot: there's a package called "msn-pecan". Maybe that's what you want? [09:42] Is it possible to repair a Ubuntu installation from commandline with the DVD? [09:42] anyone knows where is the #webservice channel [09:43] vince38, a standard xubuntu install has got wifi stuff going bluetooth among tons and tons of other things [09:43] male or female?

[11:11] yes [11:11] Titan8990: yes. [11:11] abhishek, does it tell you that you need flash when you go to youtube?

We used a sample mount directory. It just says "/mnt/hd10, that directory does not exist" [11:12] Cedara: so you have to use an existing directory or create the /mnt/hd10 (command: sudo mkdir /mnt/hd10) [11:12] shall I look what is in the fstab [11:13] it's still mentioned there [11:13] Cedara: sure [11:13] jas [11:13] anyone??

[11:21] idontknowhowtose, it should be installed by default, if not try: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop [11:21] ahh, k [11:21] Cedara: well, since we know now that the problem can be solved by using the -o force option, why mounting all filesystems by hand? [11:21] mas2: apt-get openoffice [11:21] okay [11:21] Joe_: boot to recovery mode for your kernel and choose fix x server [11:21] Cedara: yes [11:21] rit: but I already have open office. Should i uninstall it frist? [11:22] anybody around who's using bluefish editor???

[11:24] Joe_: take a nap while it runs [11:24] ocean: is there one where I can mount them all again at once? [11:24] Joe_, I know.. I can open the archive but yakuake, to install the skin, must get tar.gz archive.. Strange a little for me.. [11:24] Cedara: I see, however, I think the filesystems are mounted at this point? [11:24] hi all [11:24] Somebody is using yakuake? [11:24] Cedara: I think they are... type "df" [11:24] ocean: yes, I can see them [11:25] Katangawise: i do [11:25] Cedara: great! :) [11:25] actionparsnip it all worked, except glx wouldn't load, I noticed that all of the symlinks under /usr/lib were pointing to the old 169.12 versions (from Hardy, guess the upgrade didn't work fully), so I backed up /usr and went to work manually re-linking then to the correct version (96.43.09)... of course that didn't work, so I put the backup back over it... and now it's just completely screwed [11:25] voldenet: .iso file of what? === DRNK-E is now known as drunky [11:25] Joe_, you win... [11:25] ocean: I looked in the folder menue [11:25] voldenet: sorry .img [11:25] Cedara: since the logfile (on those filesystems) is now reset, you probably won't have to use the force option the next time [11:25] voldenet I win what? [11:25] .img file of boot-sector [11:25] Joe_ i don't understand ur question ;D [11:26] to get .img file of boot-sector use dd [11:26] Ocean: the result from the df command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103872/ [11:26] dd if=/dev/sda# of=/file.img bs=512 count=1 [11:26] voldenet and hope you never have to learn...

[11:43] ActionParsnip - no no.. lol [11:43] KeithGS: ? [11:43] ubuntu-U-s-r: what is the problem you are having ? [11:43] ubuntu-U-s-r: what do you need help with ? [11:43] deskspace+ubuntu, either way - #ubuntu-offtopic, before we get told to go there :p [11:43] ikonia: i can`t boot my ubuntu distro after last update [11:43] ubuntu-U-s-r: you can get firefox in binary from the repos, but you can get the source for it [11:43] ubuntu-U-s-r: ok, what is the problem ? [11:43] hmm... [11:43] anybody knows how to install mod_auth_digest? [11:43] add a line in boot.ini [11:43] please help me...

[11:44] actionparsnip ok... still trying to kill all the nvidia stuff again, but it looks like there's some garbage not being removed with the apt-get remove [11:44] syntax\: /join #vmware - it's a binary package provided by them [11:44] ikonia: and how I can install it? [11:44] ikonia: after selecting ubuntu from menu of my installed os`es grub shows me error 15 what`s not true [11:44] Joe_: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia* [11:45] ubuntu-U-s-r: error 15 is selected partition does not exist, so you need to look at your menu.lst [11:45] ikonia: thanks :D [11:45] ikonia: i have ubuntu installed as application in windows [11:45] ikonia: ok can i use pastebi? [11:45] ubuntu-U-s-r: that doesn't change the way grub works [11:45] actionparsnip that doesn't seem to work [11:46] ubuntu-U-s-r: please do use the pastebin [11:46] ikonia: sorry pastebin? [11:46] Joe_: whats it say? [11:46] actionparsnip couldn't find package nvidia [11:46] augustowebd: looking at the docs, auth_digest is built into apackage [11:46] actionparsnip if I put * on both sides it complains that it can't find packge libnvidia-cfg.so [11:46] augustowebd: as in, it's already installed, I'm looking to confirm that now [11:46] Joe_: did you use nvidia* [11:46] actionparsnip yes [11:47] Joe_: try dpkg -l | grep nvidia [11:47] * on only 1 side [11:47] I did... [11:47] augustowebd: you did what ? [11:47] Joe_: if it outputs nothing, its all gone [11:47] see the doc :) [11:47] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m636ef059 [11:47] augustowebd: what doc ?

[11:47] sorry, documentation about apache...

[11:48] please anyone help me out .. [11:48] actionparsnip I try to remove the ones it shows, but says not installed [11:48] kolpur: I use mythtv [11:48] augustowebd: the ubuntu documentation seems to suggest auth_digest is already installed/built into apache already, so I'm looking to confirm that [11:48] Joe_: dpkg -l shows all installed packages [11:48] Joe_: try: sudo apt-get-f install [11:49] actionparsni but apt-get --purge remove .... says it's not installed [11:49] Joe_: im hoping -f (fix) will fix it [11:50] ikonia: you are my last hope. i`m in a job and can`t work ;( [11:50] actionparsnip says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed... [11:50] ikonia: ok, I will look for that... [11:50] ubuntu-U-s-r: you shouldn't be using this sort of thing for your job, you should be using a proper install [11:50] i need a good video converter for ubuntu.. any ideas? [11:50] ubuntu-U-s-r: I'm looking at your menu.lst now and how grub works with wubi [11:50] Joe_: ok try installing something new [11:51] actionparsnip new anything? [11:51] Numlock4045: mencoder and ffmpeg [11:51] thanks [11:51] Joe_: yeah, anything [11:51] has anyone here experience this: attached thumbnails on ubuntu forums doesnt appear? [11:51] ubuntu-U-s-r: anything but a full up install is not suitable for production use [11:51] syntax\: join #ubuntuforums [11:51] Joe_: sudo apt-get install pidgin === drunky is now known as DRNK-E [11:52] ubuntu-U-s-r: can I see /ubuntu/disks/boot/grub/menu.lst [11:52] actionparsnip seems it can't connect to download packages... odd [11:52] ubuntu-U-s-r: or is that what I'm looking at already [11:52] Joe_: ahhh im guessing you used network manager for network conf [11:53] actionparsnip yeah, the default one [11:53] ikonia: if a user uses a gui app to configure networking, will the settings transfer to root console so they can connect? [11:53] hi [11:53] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by transfer ? [11:53] Bom dia pessoal [11:53] actionparsnip it should, I've used apt-get from console before [11:54] ActionParsnip: the console is just an interaction with the machines current state, so if the gui has configured the network, then yes, it should be the same in the console [11:54] I need to install ubuntu on a machine without internet connection. [11:54] ActionParsnip: network-manager-gnome will write the network configs to the correct config files [11:54] Noah1989: use a cd - thats fine [11:54] ikonia: but i need additional packages [11:54] ikonia: but the gui never gets loaded in this case, will the settings still work [11:54] Noah1989: http://www.ubuntu.com [11:54] JimmyDee: my fault, no more such things for future [11:54] Noah1989: then you'll need to download them on another machine, or try to get the ubuntu dvd [11:54] henriquelm: bom dia. [11:54] ActionParsnip: I don't see why not [11:54] ok... this is bad... [11:54] ActionParsnip: but as it's not loading - it's unknown [11:54] Can anyone recommend a C/C++ IDE that uses gtk? [11:55] Sorry... forgot that this is a internetional channel [11:55] Titan8990: just checking, i dont use silly gui apps so my config works :) [11:55] ubuntu-U-s-r: you should remove that virtual thinger, resize your ntfs partition and dual boot full on install [11:55] ActionParsnip: I dont use them either [11:55] Joe_: can you ping websites? [11:55] ikonia: i need some language-specific stuff (german spellcheck for oo.org) - is that in the DVD? [11:55] actionparsnip I'm assuming it's because I was in the console from the recovery mode, so I rebooted into the normal one with the intention of dropping to console once X failed... [11:55] JimmyDee: i exacly try resize day before update my disk [11:55] ActionParsnip: and i found that in gentoo network-manager-gnome actually writes network config to the wrong config file [11:55] Joe_: ping www.yahoo.com [11:55] actionparsnip but I just have a black screen, there's nothing there and I can't switch to tty1 [11:55] ActionParsnip: so it is a legit question [11:55] Noah1989: don't know, you'll have to look, but you can manually download from the interent and put it on a CD using aptoncd [11:55] Joe_: then ping 4.2.2.2 [11:55] !aptoncd > Noah1989 [11:55] Noah1989, please see my private message [11:55] Titan8990: haha awesome [11:56] ikonia: Titan8990: ty for info [11:56] Do u guys know the name of the package of the OpenLDAP? [11:56] !ldap | henriquelm [11:56] henriquelm: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [11:56] henriquelm: use synaptic to search [11:56] henriquelm: or apt-cache search [11:56] ikonia: ah, that's what i was looking for [11:56] Joe_: no command prompt in your black screen? [11:56] thanks for the help guys [11:57] hello guys. dont know if this is relevant here or not. but I'm wondering what's the difference between nvidia propritary and opensource driver (user experience and performance wise)? [11:57] jimmydee nothing [11:57] iknonia: i think that my distro of apache doesn't have this module(mod_auth_digest), a try to restart apache and he says to me: "apache2: Syntax error on line 187 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 149 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /var/www/modules/mod_auth_digest.so into server: /var/www/modules/mod_auth_digest.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [11:57] " [11:57] augustowebd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:57] [ubottu]: Thanks! [11:57] :) [11:57] augustowebd: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [11:57] hi all! i am trying to use livecd but I can't seem to mount any media from cd-rw drive. That's the only cd crive I have. Any help? [11:57] Joe_: did you setup originally with /home in a seperate partition? [11:57] augustowebd: and where did you get the apache install ? [11:58] by the apt-get [11:58] cmv583: what is the error your getting ? [11:58] jimmydee yes, why? [11:58] augustowebd: what version of ubuntu ? [11:58] do a reinstall [11:58] wah, msn s=is down [11:58] msn is down* [11:58] augustowebd: did you put those lines into the config file ? [11:58] keeping the /home part without reformatting it [11:58] RizR: ive never used the one on nvidia.com (except on an old install of mandrake 6), I couldnt comment on performance but i get decent performance from the one on the repos [11:58] mtholdenss: we don't care [11:58] when i use the command[ sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic] it shows like this :[sudo] password for administrator ("administrator" is my login name) then i typed mypassword it says: administrator@ubuntu:~$ user@2008, administrator@ubuntu:~$ user@2008: can not find the command,and i tried server times,i shows the same,the password is right,why? [11:58] i had a problem with wifi in ubuntu8.04 [11:58] my wifi is not working [11:58] ikonia, ok kool :D hi 5 [11:59] is 8.04 [11:59] ikonia: no error just does nothing when i put media in. Had some help running a few tests thru terminal and the comp. is seeing it? [11:59] augustowebd: ok, who put those lines in the config ? [11:59] jimmydee hoping to not have to do that, still plenty of stuff I could lose [11:59] cmv583: you're meant to boot from the cd [11:59] I did :| [11:59] augustowebd: ok, I suggest you remove them for starters [11:59] ikonia: not sure what you mean? [11:59] ikonia: so installing everything i want in a VM and then exporting packages using APTonCD should work, right? [11:59] will wine handle games?? if i install a windows game with wine on my computer will it run fine???? [11:59] cmv583: you put the cd in and tell your machine to boot on it [12:00] Noah1989: sounds sensible [12:00] ikonia: thank you [12:00] Numlock4045: maybe, maybe not, check www.winehq.com appdb [12:00] Leo: type uname -r and hit enter, then manually type the command to get the headers [12:00] ok... so I take it the recovery mode doesn't load network settings? [12:00] Joe_: no [12:00] ok, but this version doesan't have suport for this modeule, do you know? [12:00] ok,i will try [12:00] ikonia: any way I can force it to? [12:00] Joe_: manually do it [12:00] any one please help me about wifi problem [12:00] ikonia: shouldn't it mount when inserted? [12:00] cmv583: you BOOT from it [12:00] ikonia: How? [12:01] Joe_: what is the problem you are having ? [12:01] augustowebd: I said I'm looking for information on it, as the docs suggest it's already built in [12:01] ikonia real problem is X is all screwed up, trying to fix but can only get to command line via recovery mode [12:01] Hey all. I am having issues booting a successful 8.10 and 8.04 Install on a Dell 2500 With PERC RAID Controllers. Anyone have any ideas? [12:01] Joe_: right - so your X is not working - thats fine, you don't need networking to fix that [12:02] ok joe, get to command prompt edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to vista [12:02] vesa [12:02] Joe_: what happens when you boot normally [12:02] ikonia: there still some hope? [12:02] ikonia I do if I need to use apt-get [12:02] ubuntu-U-s-r: I'm still waiting for you to response [12:02] ikonia thants man! [12:02] Joe_: you don't need to do that [12:02] ikonia I get a black screen [12:02] Joe_: look at what JimmyDee just told you [12:02] vesa not vista, early morning fingers [12:03] jimmydee ikonia I already did that and it gives me a black screen [12:03] Joe_: you could use something like: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0; route add default gw 192.168.0.1 [12:03] Joe_: what video card do you have [12:03] hi all i want to play a real movie file but i can not just get a player to play this file can any one help [12:03] augustowebd: no he doesn't [12:03] augustowebd: sorry not you [12:03] ActionParsnip: no he doesn't [12:03] ikonia two old ones, GeForce 6200 and Quadro DVS280 PCI [12:03] ActionParsnip: his network modules won't be setup yet, [12:03] NVS [12:03] Joe_: you have 2 cards in [12:03] ikonia: gah [12:04] ikonia yes [12:04] Joe_: perhaps remove one [12:04] angeleyes:you can use real player in linux what is the problem [12:04] Joe_: 1.) has this ever worked ? [12:04] really [12:04] Are there any good resources on solving boot issues with PERC RAID Controllers?

I can just boot from cd and install to ext. HDD and change boot sequence to ext. HDD first right? How can I remove ubuntu from the int. HDD? [12:05] cmv583: you remove ubuntu by destroying the partition, and yes you can install to your external disk [12:05] How can I put a Program into my auto boot? I hope thats right... *g* [12:05] ubottu: Thanks. Tired the second set of links I'll dig into thie first [12:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:05] !usb | cmv583 [12:05] cmv583: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:05] Joe_: I suggest you delete your xorg.conf file totally - and reboot and see what ubuntu trys to do first of all [12:06] dont delete it, rename it [12:06] ikonia: menu.lst comes actually from destination: win/ubuntu/winboot/ where win/ is ntfs partition with my ubuntu [12:06] what is the meaning of: Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied) ? [12:06] ikonia: I discovery my mistake... [12:06] err sorry guys, wrong irc [12:06] augustowebd do tell [12:06] jimmydee I already have backups of xorg.conf, we'll see what this does... [12:06] hi guys, I need to create a ghost of a machine of mine. What is the best tool to do this? [12:06] wow big channel [12:06] Joe_: just delete it totally [12:07] ActionParsnip: i've read everything and used unetbootin which created ldlinux.sys file. tried to boot from that dive and said it couldn't find kernel. [12:07] racquad: dd [12:07] ActionParsnip: I mean, userfriendly :) [12:07] cmv583: check boot options then [12:07] How can i realize that a program, for example pidgin, starts whenever i start my pc ? [12:07] racquad: dd is user friendly [12:07] ikonia: gparted won't run? [12:07] I try to load the modelo using: loadModule, but the apache on ubuntu load her modules using include :) [12:07] cmv583 what do you mean won't run ? [12:07] hey, im trying to boot ubuntu 8.10 with dual display but im getting a cant find type1 error even though i have set the path to the type1 dir [12:07] racquad: dd if=/dev/sourcepartitionname of=/dev/destinationpartitionname [12:08] does anyone know how to solve this? [12:08] ikonia: won't run thru /system/admin/partion editor [12:08] parasense I use 4 monitors, always got error about type1 but it never affected me at all [12:08] hey, is there a way to recover deleted files? [12:08] jimmydee ok... I'm back to one screen again [12:08] cmv583: jaunch it with gksudo gparted - see what it says [12:08] ActionParsnip: for a sysadmin yes, but not for a regular user. I want to send a ghost to a user so he can, with few steps, ghost the image to his system without using any command line (or the less possible). I saw system imager or something like that [12:08] but you have a command prompt now? [12:08] sidhrt: you can check trash but there is no "undelete" command [12:08] Joe_: ahhh thats start, so you now have an xdisplay ? [12:09] jimmydee I've got X back, with one screen [12:09] joe_ i suspect it is not loading the modules specified [12:09] racquad: use ghost then, it can read ext3 partitions [12:09] any ideas why my microphone and line in would mute themselves again in volume control after i close it? [12:09] Titan8990: its deleted from the trash too. [12:09] also, i cant find refference to some of the modules in /var/lib/modules is this the way i should explore? [12:09] Joe_: so you can now fix/network from there [12:09] ActionParsnip: but I want a free software. [12:09] parasense: is it causing you a problem ? [12:10] jimmydee ikonia now... nvidia-96 is what supports both my cards... but there seems to still be some left over crude from old nvidia drivers... should I just manually delete them? [12:10] racquad: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-953738.html [12:10] ikonia , yea it restores to default mode and runs with framebuffer i think [12:10] Joe_: I would, but it's your call [12:10] parasense: default mode ?/??? [12:10] these are the first lines of Xorg.0.log [12:10] ikonia whatever it takes to fix it, heh [12:10] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" [12:10] (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. [12:10] ikonia:so, i run from livecd, then gparted to destroy partition, and reinstall ubuntu to ext. HDD? [12:10] !clone | racquad [12:10] racquad: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:10] someone knows what does [apache-noscript] section in fail2ban's jail.conf refers to? [12:10] Joe_: most likely they were only built for a older kernel [12:11] Joe_: I'd do it [12:11] cmv583: yes [12:11] racquad: that will make the other system install the same apps as another system [12:11] parasense: ok, so it's not detecting your setup and moving to failsafe [12:11] ikonia, how can i make it detect it [12:11] ikonia the issue (as far as I could tell) fromt he original problem was that the upgrade to intrepid (and therefore the 96.43.09 driver) didn't change the symlinks (they were still pointed to the 169.12 drivers) [12:11] heh busy man [12:11] What package do I need to install to get "printing" under "Administration" in my gnome ubnutnu menu? [12:11] ikonia: did you asked me about menu.lst location last time? [12:11] ikonia: will it load apps i have when in livecd? [12:12] cmv583: yes [12:12] ikonia: so i can usse pidgin if problem. [12:12] ActionParsnip: thanks. it will help a lot. My idea is to create a live pendrive usb distro with a simple shell script that will transfer the raw image (stored on the pend drive) to the target disk with few inputs [12:12] racquad: you can even dd to an iso on another partition then dd to the destination drive once you have transported it [12:12] parasense: you may have to make a manual config if it's not detecting [12:12] cmv583: am I not saying "yes" clearly enough ? [12:12] ikonia: sorry grouch! [12:12] ikonia can you point the general direction?

[12:13] its intel [12:13] ActionParsnip: that's the idea. [12:13] ActionParsnip: automatically in ubuntu [12:13] but atm only as root [12:13] not for me [12:14] What do I need to install to get the menu System -> Administration -> Printing ? [12:14] Action Parsnip: I used to have access to them but I had an XP crash last night and with the force option, Ocean helped me to force the mount [12:14] Cedara: you need to use this guide, http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users [12:14] okay [12:15] jimmydee ikonia ok... that should be all of the crud, now if I install nvidia-common then hardware drivers (restricted drivers) should detect my cards and tell me to install nvidia-96... right? [12:15] Cedara: just make sure you have ntfs-3g installed and change the prtition type to ntfs-3g in your mount command [12:15] hmmm good idea, I'll look at that programme [12:15] I have it installed [12:15] Cedara: you will not be able to rite to some files as they may have some permissions set, other files are ok [12:16] okay [12:16] Hi there. [12:16] I'm facing problems connecting internet through ethernet on my ubuntu 8.04 on dell 1510 laptop. Internet is available on the same system under windows? [12:16] you know its funny I went to the #firefox and a Ubuntu user had issues with firefox, So I gave him a link to my FirePup and he was amazed how crappy Firefox series 3.0 has went, since the 1.5 series, he actually compared it to explorer, Firefox does not have to be compiled with any Gnome parts, nor does it have to be compiled as i686, i386 works just the same and everybody is the happier, :) If you don't believe me, rename your /root/m [12:16] ozilla/firefox to something else and install http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/programs/other/FirePup.tar.gz ttuuxxx [12:16] hmmmm [12:17] !quickstart [12:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about quickstart [12:17] Ihave a problem, every upgrade my videos become horrible to watch... in red tons, then, I need to come a lib to upgrade ... What to do? [12:17] Cedara: ? [12:17] !gnome-cups-manager [12:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:17] !info quickstart [12:17] Package quickstart does not exist in intrepid [12:17] ps full screen youtube works on firepup [12:18] ok.... why is it not telling me to install these drivers? [12:18] Cedara: you'll need to run sudo fdisk -l to see which partition is the ntfs one to mount and replace it in the command [12:18] I have several [12:18] partitions [12:19] why is Ubuntu so unstable / unresponsive ?? [12:19] Cedara: well whichever you wanna mount [12:20] opersts: its opensource, it comes with no guaruntees or SLAs [12:20] * dr_willis finds ubuntu very stable and responsive.. [12:20] i think its fine [12:20] Much more responsive the the wifes Vista Machine. [12:20] ActionParsnip: jas [12:20] my input channels keep muting themselves [12:20] opersts, ubuntu is stable [12:20] heh... I generally find it great, until I upgrade and everything goes to hell [12:20] I'm facing problems connecting internet through ethernet on my ubuntu 8.04 on dell 1510 laptop. Internet is available on the same system under windows? [12:20] opersts: if you configure your system better it may improve [12:21] problem is between chair and monitor [12:21] ;P [12:21] of course there could be some speciric hardware/driver issue I guess for opersts s problem [12:21] ActionParsnip: let's start with sda10 (http://paste.ubuntu.com/103886/) [12:21] Ihave a problem, every upgrade my videos become horrible to watch... in red tons, then, I need to come a lib to upgrade ... What to do? [12:21] ikonia: you in a better mood, lol? changed bios options, won't boot from cd, why i don't know, but it won't? [12:21] Cedara: if the partition is currently mounted, you wil be able to see it in the output of 'mount' [12:21] dr_willis what kind of hardware problem ?? [12:21] it's mounted [12:21] Cedara: to mount it you will have to umount it (not unmount) [12:21] S4nD3r, use Videolan player [12:21] install original nvidia/ati drivers [12:22] ActionParsnip: what'S the difference? [12:22] opersts, given how you ve not given us any data/info at all.. we cant tell. [12:22] videolan? [12:22] cmv583: I'm not in a bad mood [12:22] Cedara: one will unmount the partition, the other doesnt exist [12:22] any k7 kernel's users available ? [12:22] It was perfect... [12:22] cmv583: if it won't boot from the cd then either the cd is bad, or the cdrom is broke [12:22] okay [12:22] vince38: just ask the question [12:22] after upgrade kernel, happened that [12:22] and then remount as user? [12:22] dr_willis, you havnt asked for any info lol [12:22] ikonia: i asked it [12:22] S4nD3r, apt-get install vlc [12:22] update manager upgraded! [12:22] Cedara: then simply replace the name of the partition and the mount point in the commands outlined in the link i gave you [12:22] I have vlc [12:23] vince38: I've not seen you ask a question yet [12:23] ActionParsnip: hullo again; stupid question: I can't really unmount the currently active linux partition in order to partition it, can I? :) [12:23] updater update updated! [12:23] opersts, im not going to play 20 questions to get to the actual question. [12:23] dr_willis what do you need to know? Firefox, Amarok and other common programs freeze up much too frequently [12:23] ActionParsnip: Jas, lemme look [12:23] vince38: what do you need help with [12:23] I have ubuntu 8.10 and open office 2.4 was installed as default but I want the new 3.0. How can I update it easily? [12:23] Hello all [12:23] Caesi: use 'cd ~' first [12:23] Can someone guide me as to how to install bugzilla on Ubuntu? [12:23] Caesi: unmount, then use the command to remount [12:23] ikonia: just messing with ya, cd is verified, cdrom is fine used it for a while now and never had a prob. Always ran windoze until recently though. It's there for sure and works fine. [12:23] apt-get install bugzilla runs into problems [12:24] well you don't read then ....np lol, i'd like to have the output of uname -r of a k7-kernel user [12:24] i dont know what to do [12:24] cmv583: it clearly doesn't work as yo ucan't boot from it [12:24] Caesi: if you mount as root without any config, the files are only writable as root (assuming you used ntfs3g to mount [12:24] is someone going to help [12:24] or not [12:24] opersts: whats up? [12:24] vince38: it depends on the kernel your running [12:24] I think is any lib that is not good already [12:24] ActionParsnip, i need Ubuntu to be more stable [12:25] vince38: I believe the K7 kernel has been removed now with the generic one (could be wrong about that) [12:25] ActionParsnip: I only have the one partition, the other one is Windows... I guess I'll probably have to partition it from windows then won't I? [12:25] and having things crash / freeze all the time [12:25] monzie, What specific error [12:25] ikonia: i just ask for the output of a k7-kernel user [12:25] ikonia: i've burnt 100's of cd's on it.

[12:25] !find bugzilla [12:25] Found: libwww-bugzilla-perl, bugzilla3, bugzilla3-doc [12:25] opersts: when you downloaded the iso, did you md5 check it as well as verify the cd was ok before installing?

[12:27] so k7 settings doesn't exist anymore , wonder why [12:27] monzie, It is in universe if you are using ubuntu ibex [12:27] opersts: all these checks are important [12:27] vince38: replaced with generic, [12:28] ActionParsnip, i dont think i still have the CD i installed with [12:28] vince38: no-need for a specific [12:28] ActionParsnip: I'm a relative newbie.

[12:28] monzie, you might look in backports. not sure for that release [12:29] opersts: why do you think the have md5 files on the repos next to the iso files [12:29] ActionParsnip, no not likley as i obliterated the windows partition [12:29] ikonia: jordan_u helped me and it even opened thru term. everything was set fine. I'm familiar with bios and the cd is what i used to install it originally and here i am so it's burnt correctly or i wouldn't be using ubuntu right now. [12:29] there is a bugzilla package [12:29] Action Parsnip: so that would be for sda10 : sudo umount /media/sda10 ? [12:29] cmv583: so why are you trying to boot from it [12:29] cmv583: if ubuntu is already installed ? [12:29] opersts: then we dont really have a way to verify the installation media was good [12:30] Action Parsnip: and later on then mount /dev/sda10 /mnt/media/sda10 -o uid=1000 ? [12:30] ActionParsnip, is there anything else i can try to improve stability ? [12:30] how can i make myself root?

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.

[13:01] meaning, i want to bring up ppp0 with a command like 'ifup ppp0' and it then implies that i do a 'pon dsl-provider' under the hood [13:02] jack_sparrow I switched to 173 and tried to restart gdm with the same blinky going on [13:02] Joe_, was that earlier or just now [13:02] AslanMan: for information about packages for ubuntu see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [13:02] Joe_: i can't really recommend anything else. Do you have an older kernel you can boot to? [13:02] zamba: maybe you can do that with the "manual" method in /etc/network/interfaces [13:03] jack_sparrow just now switched to 173 and hit gdm start [13:03] actionparsnip think I might still have 2.6.24 [13:03] what is the correct package name for proftpd? [13:03] could someone help me with xorg? I want my keyboard to be detected as "microsoft" instead of "pc105"... [13:03] i get a: [13:03] E: Couldn't find package proftpd [13:03] but xorg.conf is meaningless now [13:03] Joe_, In my case I ran the xconfig, restartedm installed 173 then did settings [13:03] Joe_: see if thats friendlier, the latest kernel might not like you [13:03] hi again, i upgraded from 8.04 t0 8.10 and my webcam doesnt work now, i have gspvae installed but no luck any ideas , in dmesg i can see my webcam connected ? [13:03] Lemon|work: just proftpd [13:03] Lemon|work, Please keep questions on one line [13:04] actionparsnip there inlies the irony, I upgraded to intrepid because of a feature in 2.6.27 that I needed [13:04] Joe_, which 2.6.27?

Better to get them direct from the official packages site, you can search as well across versions [13:06] I'm trying to do: apt-get install proftpd [13:07] I've done my umount and then mount as uid 1000 [13:07] Cedara, First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the [13:07] permissions are set [13:07] why my audacious is no voice [13:07] but when I reboot it changes back to root [13:07] Jack_sparrow they are root [13:07] Cedara, what kind of filesystem is this? thats a crtical bit of info.

Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [13:08] Cedara, you must set the permissions for ntfs via the mount options then. yOu normally dont chmod/chown ntfs/vfat filesystems [13:08] Jack_Sparrow: wait, lemme see if I can understand it [13:09] okay, five are ntfs and one is a fat partiton - they are set as root [13:09] which source do i need to add to /etc/apt/sources.list to install proftpd on ubuntu 8.10? [13:09] can the live USB maker work for non-ubuntu livecd isos? [13:09] Dr_willis_:Jack_Sparrow: Cedara just change the permissions in /etc/fstab and restart.. instead of all this?? [13:09] ubottu: the ntfs driver is installed [13:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:09] Cedara, and they alway will be - untill you mount them with the proper optons in the fstab file. [13:09] earthling: lemme grab fstab then [13:09] Lemon|work: Its in the universe repository. [13:10] Cedara: read the guide, it will tell you how to mount stuff [13:10] so i add deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid universe ?

[13:13] hmm nevermind [13:13] looks like proftpd is already installed [13:13] hi room [13:13] Cedara: but make sure that you know a bit about umask and file permissions before that.. take some guide from the net and go about it [13:14] earthling: oh dear [13:14] could someone help me with xorg? I want my keyboard to be detected as "microsoft" instead of "pc105"... but xorg.conf is meaningless now.

[13:21] R`: umask 000.. though not recommended [13:21] R`: I guess [13:21] actionparsnip ok... purged again... let's see if the manual install wants to work this time [13:21] earthling, Scary giving rwx to all [13:21] earthling: that doesn't seem to work for me, and when i run mplayer i just get a grey screen with uniformally distributed dots [13:22] earthling; it is set to 000 right now, but the files/dirs the user makes are read/write, not exec:( [13:22] R`: yeah it does not work for me also ;).. [13:22] R`: its not recommended any way..:) [13:23] earthling; so how can i do it? [13:23] R`: chmod? [13:24] Does someone could tell me why I have the following message "sudo: unable to resolve host celtes2" when I run "sudo". I guess this has something to do with my /etc/hostname, but I can't figure out. [13:24] R`: don't know.. let me see if stumble upon something [13:25] !hostname | arvernes [13:25] arvernes: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [13:25] arvernes: Did you recently change your hostname? [13:25] * Pici neverminds [13:26] my_haz; the program which uses the username must be able to create/modify files/dirs by itself at will, without my intervention. if i go work with chmod/chown then i will be doing that all day/night as the app creates the new files..... so.. the app must be able to do it by itself [13:26] Pici: yes, but I rebooted once done; And I have no pb to go on the internet, [13:26] actionparsnip ok... glx loaded (correct version, 96) but still not detecting the displays... [13:26] hi folks, i'm using a dell studio 15 and the keyboard gets stuck whenever i adjust the lcd brightness. i need to do a ctrl-alt-f1 and then back to ctrl-alt-f7 to get the keys unstuck. any ideas of a more permanent solution? [13:26] Joe_: im way out of my depth now but you seem to be managing. you could try removing the quattro card to test [13:26] Pici: my local "network" here is "celtes.com", and the hostname of that computer is "celtes2". [13:27] R`: what language is the app written in? [13:27] I've tried to add to my /etc/hostname file : celtes2.celtes.com but I still have that message :-( [13:28] actionparsnip almost... I got blinking X that crashes alot... but I can see the pointer in between teh crashes [13:28] Quick question for you clever cats, Ubuntu recently locked up and corrupted a lot of my disk. It’s back again now, but apt is failing with “E: Couldn’t configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.” Anyone know how I could re-fix it without a reinstalll? [13:29] arvernes: You need to modify /etc/hosts as well. See the message from ubottu above [13:29] Joe_: you could try manually populating xorg.conf [13:29] actionparsnip arg... it took me forever to get it set up right the first time... but that's probably a good idea [13:29] Pici, yes, I just read his message. I change it right now [13:30] Joe_: its an avenue to explore [13:31] R`: well why don't you use your code to change the userid ..i know for sure that C/C++,perl bash can do it..

Do I have to reboot to make those changes to take into consideration ? [13:34] Jack_Sparrow: it's a fairly new name change, but instead of making an eee specific respin apparently they're making a netbook-wide respin [13:34] arvernes: /etc/init.d/network restart will suffice [13:35] superdug, Youll need to search freenode channel list [13:35] Jack_Sparrow: hehehe, that sounds, painful [13:35] earthling: ok, i do it [13:36] superdug: seems to be channel #ubuntu-eeepc [13:37] earthling: I do not have "network" but "networking". I guess that's the same thing. I did that "restart", but I still wait for the command to finish. That's quite long. Strange [13:37] oCean_: many thanks [13:38] jack_sparrow any ideas...

[13:45] Can someone tell, how to compile and run C++ programs using gcc? [13:46] i have all ready set up rEFit, and i know how to configer it, but do i need the bootloader on the partition [13:46] Lemon|work: have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com? [13:46] gcc -o helloworld.c [13:46] Saurabh, install build-essential. However, check if the program you want is already available in the repository [13:46] how to compile? [13:46] mib_81a1orh4: you set that up during the install. "extra options" or something like that will let you choose where to install grub [13:46] Saurabh, Please join a C++ programming channel [13:47] once you write the source, like helloworld.c [13:47] Saurabh, please don't private message people without asking first [13:47] Saurabh: g++ foo.cc for C++ [13:47] yeah g++ not gcc [13:47] jrib: thanks but i dont want to install any bootloader, is that an option === _sigterm is now known as sigterm [13:47] doesn't appear to be any rules set in iptales, according to iptables -L [13:47] _Cwillu_ Sorry [13:47] Chiliblack, there's nothing listening on any ports by default [13:48] mib_81a1orh4: I've always put grub on the partition with ubuntu (even when using refit) [13:48] apache works fine, but my sabnabd I can't connect to [13:48] Saurabh, and spell my name exactly as it shows here, otherwise it won't be highlighted on my screen, and I'll probably miss it [13:48] (capitalization and everything) [13:48] oops again [13:48] jrib: sounds good thanks, do i need to bootloaders or is this optinal [13:48] there you go :) [13:48] mib_81a1orh4: what?

[13:51] mib_81a1orh4: even if refit could do what you say, you would have a smoother time with having grub on the ubuntu partition anyway [13:51] jrib : i know... but i don't want to insert username and password [13:51] barbapapa: so what's your question? You don't want to use gdm? [13:52] hello [13:52] has anyone else started to experience great problems with Ubuntu after the last few updates?

[13:54] jrib: i can not use grub as i am triple booting 3 os windows, osx and ubuntu, and i need support for a hybrid GPT/MBR [13:54] jack_sparrow actionparsnip didn't even thing about xinerama... as it was workign before, I have all 4 screens working again... just can't use it as I need [13:54] earthling: "sudo" and no more warning about my host name [13:54] mib_81a1orh4: why can't you install grub to the ubuntu partition? [13:54] hi , i a new user in Ubuntu,but i have to say: better than Ruindows 1000000x [13:55] odney, HEllo and welcome [13:55] Joe_: i think nvidia-settings can help [13:55] arvernes: I guess some one else was helping you on that.. I just told you how to restart networking.. any way you are welcome [13:55] jrib: OW i guess i could, i heard that grub can mess up for MBR, but i guess it will not if it is only on the partition [13:56] i'm a brazilian user [13:56] odney, /join #Ubuntu-gr [13:56] odney, /join #Ubuntu-br [13:56] tks [13:56] np [13:57] earthling: I guess ubottu did, but it must be gone. thank you ubottu [13:57] mib_81a1orh4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation If you already have the partitioning setup then just note the picture in "Dual-Boot: Mac OSX and Ubuntu"/"Start Installing" section [13:57] odney, There is also /join #Ubuntu-pt [13:57] whats the better antivirus for Ubuntu ?

[13:58] Now I try to find a command line to ask for a package a file could belong too. When I was running fedora, I used to use "rpm -qa | grep something, is there such a thing using ubuntu. I tried to find something with apt-cache, but I've not been successfull [13:58] hi non serve antivirus for ubuntu [13:58] virus only for Windows really ? [13:58] odney, No not dangerous to run without one and dont worry about adding your firewall manager [13:58] odney, it's not necessary but you can install clamav in Synaptic [13:58] cool [13:58] odney: but clamav is really meant for things like mail servers with windows clients [13:59] emilio: no need for antivirus on a desktop machine [13:59] odney, clam is not really for protecting ubuntu but for scanning windows apps etc [13:59] clamav ? easy settings ? [13:59] Jack_Sparrow: like the stunted typing of people when they ask you "you don't need anti virus?" :p [13:59] agreed [13:59] vat this xubuntu [14:00] emilio: it's the same [14:00] rssss [14:00] odney: just start using your computer to do stuff instead of worrying about windows problems [14:00] earthling: its handy when you have windows systems writing to a samba share [14:01] tks [14:01] #ubuntu-cn [14:01] it's a true [14:01] ActionParsnip: ??? on what context?? [14:02] hello everyone? [14:02] erm ! [14:02] i cant see the windows after Ubuntu isntall [14:03] Hi everybody Who ever config about openVPN client , serve ?

[14:12] Weltin, If it is a 32 bit app you will need to chroot it [14:12] Jack_Sparrow: kernel based virtual machine, the virtualisation software, with virt-manager [14:13] Onoz, Just pointing out that KVM can also mean Keyboard, Video Mouse switch and that acrons' mean different things to diff people [14:13] does anyone here use the nowplaying screenlet with banshee 1.4 ? === Por is now known as Oak [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: plz explain (n00b, when it comes to linux) [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: okay x) === Oak is now known as Guest48338 [14:14] Weltin, We try to get new users to run 32bit for just this reason [14:14] Hey people, anyone here use KVM, the virtualisation software? [14:14] Weltin, the bot is in for service so I dont have the factoid that explains it === Guest48338 is now known as Poramet [14:14] hey people, anyone here use the NowPlaying screenlet with Banshee 1.4 ?

[14:16] blouf, No it does not [14:16] Jack_Sparrow, it will install, but after reboot, the OS wonlt load. [14:16] it's a point of view ... :) so i'm sorry [14:16] blouf, And please lose the rude shorthand. It is not allowed [14:16] whats the overhead when writing a 512byte file to ext2 or 3. ie how much will it really take up? i plan on writing a LOT of file each of 512 to hdd. === Poramet is now known as fsd [14:16] so ... anyone ?

[14:17] lol [14:17] Hey is it normal with firestarter for you to lose 50 -75% of internet speed? [14:17] [FRSK]KRS: if it has to do w/ Pidgin and MSN, MSN is having internal server issues [14:17] ubottu, ok, that's a good answer, it seems that the nowplaying screenlet (last version in the depo) can't read embedded cover, is there a fix ? [14:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:18] mouarf [14:18] <[FRSK]KRS> IndyGunFreak: tanx...then i just have to wait.... tobad it works in win :-( [14:18] [FRSK]KRS: there is apparently a temp fix.. ask in #pidgin [14:18] Is there a test or anything to determine the stability of linux client? [14:19] Eliteslave: what do you mean by 'client', exactly? [14:20] !vpn | Poramet [14:20] Why can't I find the new package "bleachbit" in Add/Remove Programs (set to all packages) but I can find it with apt-cache? [14:20] Poramet: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [14:20] (on Ubuntu 9.04 alpha) [14:20] Gnea: I mean this computer that I built, Is there a test to determine that it wont crash or will crash? or what can I do to test it to its limits and see if it will hold up or not? [14:20] ahz: better to ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:20] [FRSK]KRS: the problem isn't just w/ Pidgin, its Pidgin, Kopete, and probably Trillian as well... MS does this from time to to try and make you use their crappy software.. best to switch to Yahoo or AIM. [14:20] like is there a 3dmax for Linux? or no? [14:20] Gnea: thanks [14:20] Eliteslave: Blender [14:21] Pici: Where do i get blender?

[14:22] hello [14:22] Cedara, see also umask [14:23] [FRSK]KRS: understandable... i've never really understood why anyone uses MSN...

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:23] but i must say linux has surprised me so far at how quick to set it up [14:23] thanks Captain Jack_Sparrow [14:24] Eliteslave: then you should eventually learn the shell and some simple (ls, cd, mkdir, rmdir, cat, more) commands [14:24] np [14:24] is it possible to hotkey an application, I want to press f2 to focus firefox, f3 to forcus emacs etc [14:24] Eliteslave: it can be a pain if you have noncompatible hardwares like audigy soundcards [14:25] ActionParsnip: Whats funny is I have an Audigy card... and here i am listening to Elliot in the morning lol [14:25] can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it? --> Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.

[14:26] mchelen1: did you have to compile alsa or any other crazy shennanigans? [14:26] what's that init that ubuntu is in the process of changing to, and why? [14:27] Hey is it normal with firestarter for you to lose 50 -75% of internet speed? [14:27] Doonz, lol [14:27] nnull: could be a pulseaudio anomoly [14:27] so, heres a question, Im in console and I type.... sh ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2 , And it says " Cannot Run " [14:27] Gnea, im using ALSA for everything, maybe try pulse?

[14:27] Eliteslave: tar zxvf ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2 [14:27] Eliteslave: it's not a shell script [14:27] I'm having some problem everywhere text is displayed, sometimes one line half-overlapps the next one and same happens with images, I set the visual effects to none and now i don't see that problem, but anybody knows what could cause this? [14:27] Eliteslave: its not a script, its an archive [14:28] ahh [14:28] Eliteslave: it's a tar archive, not a shell script - you can tell by the extension: .tar.bz2 (it's a bzip2 compressed tar archive) [14:28] and not a shell script/self-extracting archive [14:28] Eliteslave: tar xvf ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2 actually [14:28] ActionParsnip, nope never did anything beyond normal, it may depend on whether you need all the cards features [14:28] ahh /me feels dumb lol [14:28] why? [14:28] you shouldn't [14:28] Jack_Sparrow: then I shall have to google for that and see if I find something useful [14:28] Cedara, The web link I gave shows it [14:28] Eliteslave: nah, everyone starts somewhere - it'd be dumb to give up ;) [14:29] hehe I dont give up easily [14:29] MichaelXin: my realtek works flawlessly out of the box :D [14:29] so expect many a questions :P [14:29] Eliteslave: good! then you should have a lot of fun :) [14:29] what's some good video editing software for ubuntu? [14:29] Eliteslave: as long as you learn its fine [14:29] I have this version string: 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu1 what version string should I use so that is supersedes this version but is also superseded by a new version from the ubuntu repositories? [14:30] Rewt: avidemux, kino, cinelerra [14:30] Rewt: ffmpeg (for conversion) [14:30] Gnea, yeah, it depends what you are doing exactly [14:30] c_korn: append '~korn1' after the changes made by « dch -i » [14:30] mchelen1: indeed [14:31] Eliteslave: why do you want linux btw? [14:31] I just need to do simple editing [14:31] and why are the floodbots fighting each other? [14:31] Rewt: avidemux ought to do it then [14:31] k [14:31] !ot [14:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics.

[14:33] Doonz: on what? i don't use firestarter [14:33] ipmasq is another, and a quite good one [14:34] Doonz, Look up problems with your network hardware in supported hardware page [14:34] it's for a specific purpose tho [14:34] ? [14:34] nsa: we are soon going to start a migration to a different case management software and the server that it runs on is linux based [14:34] Eliteslave, Cool.. [14:34] Jack all the hardware is compatible [14:34] Eliteslave: very nice [14:34] Doonz, there are different levels of compat. ones that require ndiswrapper are not as efficient as ones with native drivers [14:35] Eliteslave: aha. so you will be needing to understand the shell [14:35] you might be adminning the servers? [14:35] so this migration isnt slated till september, but i thought I should get a jump on the ball before it starts [14:35] yep [14:35] Eliteslave: did you install 8.04 or 8.10? [14:35] 8.10 [14:35] hmmm [14:35] Eliteslave: you might find more stability with 8.04 [14:36] Eliteslave, You might look nto the platform they will be running on.. ie redhat or debian based distro etc [14:36] Eliteslave: plus, 8.04 is LTS, while 8.10 is not. [14:36] !LTS | Eliteslave [14:36] Eliteslave: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[14:36] Eliteslave: 8.04 is a LTS long term support. might be better for you to use that version seeing as this is goverment use [14:36] so does LTS always skip a release?

I'm supporting him by letting him know what he needs to learn. [14:39] is there any reason to use a random MAC address on my network card? [14:39] well the notes that I have here, is that the serv is run in 64 bit, does 8.04 run in 64bit? === tutule is now known as Tutule [14:39] or could I just use something simple for me to remember without concern [14:39] nsadmin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258611 [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: I've been doing this for a -very- long time [14:39] Eliteslave, yes [14:39] Eliteslave: yes. [14:39] Lasivian: its put into the card when its made, the first few identify the manufacturer of the device [14:39] nsadmin: then you might want to direct that info to him by using his nick. right now all you did was throw a bunch of info in the air [14:39] nsadmin: you've been doing what ? [14:39] Lasivian: There really isn't any reason to touch the MAC address at all generally. [14:40] nsadmin, then you should understand what offtopic and discussions are [14:40] Lasivian: MAC address is provided by the card and shouldn't be changed without a good reason... [14:40] Jack_Sparrow: maybe you better explain. [14:41] I can limit access via wireless on my router by mac address, so i figured why not set my own list of macs and set the same ones in the router [14:41] nsadmin: what is the problem you are looking for an answer for [14:41] Lasivian: you just enter the mac addresses you want to block on your router [14:41] ikonia: none [14:41] is there any reason I should not do this besides "don't mess with it because you might not know what you're doing" heh [14:41] Lasivian: you don't need to change the mac's on the card [14:41] nsadmin: ok, then this channel is for support questions only [14:41] Lasivian: it can cause a problem for networking [14:41] nsadmin & Eliteslave: http://ezinearticles.com/?Understanding-Linux-Filesystems-and-Linux-Filesystem-Types---Linux-System-Admin-Training---Run-Ubuntu&id=1741403 [14:41] nsadmin: You can provide support here, or join #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic (non support) discussions.

I don't follow your question sorry [14:43] nsadmin: this channel (you can see with the /topic command) is for discussing ubuntu support issues only (hope that clarifyies) [14:43] what word did you not understand?

[14:50] Doonz: check ethstatus out [14:50] deany: hmm if it ever gets done opening save as.. which was my solution to see where it tries to save it [14:50] howdy all. I'm about to embark upon building a PC for the first time in about seven years, so I'm trying to catch up on all the new hardware. I am planning to run ubuntu. I have a work PC with it on that has an inter core 2 due and nVidia GeForce 8600, and I'd like something fairly comparable, but probably with onboard graphics. looking around, AMD processors seem to be somewhat cheaper than... [14:50] ...intel. am I better with a dual core or a quad core? [14:50] SLart the reason i had to move away from my router is because it only has a 10mbit wan port. direct connect to modem i get 24/1 speeds [14:51] Doonz: also, make sure you're testing download speed in a reasonable way.. ie don't download a file from around the world and expect to get 24mbit/s download speed === yacc_ is now known as yacc [14:51] ne2k__: depends on your need and budget, ask some hardware guru's in hardware channels [14:51] hi all [14:51] is anyone having problems connectin to messenger trough pidgin? [14:51] Ok using lshw it lists both of my nic cards. What info did you want from that [14:51] Doonz: I meant, how fast is your network speed when you use ubuntu as a router [14:51] adi1: someone said earlier msn was down [14:52] Doonz: have you had any decent luck with bittorrent? i usually get better speeds when downloading ubuntu isos by using the torrent instead of a direct site [14:52] SLart 600kb max [14:52] ne2k__: you will probably love ubuntu, go with alsa for sound. my amd64 is great [14:52] ah ok [14:52] adi1: yes.. it said something about not being able to download address book or some such [14:52] ikonia: ok. I hear that nVidia graphics is better supported on linux than ATI. is this still the case? [14:52] so it's everyone not just me? [14:52] ne2k__: yes [14:52] Gnea i get 2.3 using az without firewall just direct to modem [14:52] adi1: yes [14:52] chalcedony: I already use it for work, and I do love it. I just don't have a PC at home so I'm planning to build one. [14:52] 2.3mbit [14:52] quad core ne2k__ - I have ubuntu running on my quad core machine with no problems at all [14:52] 2.3MB/s [14:52] chalcedony, in open office to to tools-options-openoffice.org-paths [14:53] so it's microsoft servers or pidgin related probs? [14:53] adi1: are you listeing ??? msn is down [14:53] Doonz: hmm... that's kind of slow.. how are you checking that speed? [14:53] temporary I immagine? [14:53] adi1: you would have to ask microsoft about that [14:53] MSN you POS... work! [14:53] adi1: odd, my kopete messenger shows that i'm connected to msn [14:54] slobad23__: I read someone say that there isn't much support for multiprocessor stuff, so you're better off spending your money on a faster clock speed, so that at least the single processor stuff will be faster. it would seem logical to me, though, to get the quad core, though, because even if it's not that well supported now, presumably it will be better so in the future, and then I won't... [14:54] slobad23__: stop that please [14:54] ...have to upgrade. I'm planning on buying this and not upgrading for about three years [14:54] ne2k__: that nonense [14:54] !ot [14:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:54] Slart_: on FIrestarter gui and also on firefox download page [14:54] ikonia: what's nonsense? [14:54] ne2k__: smp is in linux (ubuntu) for well over 10 years) [14:54] I got some friends here conected to trough windows though? [14:54] ne2k__: little support for multi processor [14:54] anyway... [14:54] ikonia: well, yes, the kernel, obviously, but that doesn't mean that applications will support it, does it? [14:55] Doonz: firestarter gui? it measures max bandwidth speed? or it just measures how fast it is going right now? [14:55] ne2k__: the kernel manages processing, not applications [14:55] ikonia: my understanding is that code has to be written in a certain way to take advantage of it [14:55] ikonia: errm, that's just wrong, sorry [14:55] ne2k__: no, your wrong [14:55] !meta [14:55] If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) [14:55] Slart_: it gives me the current speed [14:55] Hmm [14:55] Where is my Meta key? [14:55] i can connect to msn through my blackberry and my windows machine... [14:55] adi1: From time to time Microsoft changes their MSN protocol slightly so that 3rd party clients cannot connect. This is probably an example of that. [14:55] ne2k__: certain applications won't be able to use multi-processor through the kernel due to their nature, most will be fine [14:55] gnea with ehtstatus how do i shift it to show both eth0 and eth1 [14:55] Dvyjones: ctrl or alt === eric is now known as Guest90250 [14:55] Pici: Neither... [14:56] ubuntu gateway must have gone kaboom [14:56] k [14:56] Doonz: open screen, split it in half, make a second terminal and run one with -i eth0 and the other with -i eth1 [14:56] Pici: My app tells me to press Meta+Alt+G [14:56] hi [14:56] this is what I was thinking to [14:56] ikonia: the scheduler decides how much time on which processor to give to each process, but when the process has the processor, it has it all to itself -- the processing doesn't go through the kernel. that would be like a virtual machine [14:56] Gnea he got to excited before i posted [14:56] thanx [14:56] ikonia: D you mind a pm [14:56] thanks Pici [14:56] ne2k__: I didn't say it goes "through" I said it was manged [14:56] DJones: sure [14:56] Doonz: firefox download page might not give you 24 mbit download speed... but I would certainly think it would give you more than 600kb/s [14:57] My app tells me to press Meta+Alt+G. Where is my Meta key? I tried Ctrl, Windows, Alt Gr, everything (I have a norwegian layout, if that matters) [14:57] my pidgin can't connect is anyone experiencing the same problems? [14:57] hummesse: yes [14:57] Dvyjones: try the special windows keys too [14:57] Slart_: That is? [14:58] Slart_: yeah i used to have 10/1 connection and it maxed out with no problems. So then when i upgraded to the 25/1 package i thought they mebbe screwed up. so i tested directly from mode to pc and i hit 24mbit [14:58] DJones: a pm is fine [14:58] Doonz: hmm.. [14:58] ok ikonia, since when? [14:59] Dvyjones: the little windows keys. between ctrl and alt.. [14:59] I want an Ubuntu key on my keyboard === gh0st3 is now known as gh0st2 [14:59] Dvyjones: you can check in system, preferences, keyboard, layouts, other options too [14:59] and ive used the isp direct download link, ive dont speed test both using close and far points and still nothing. I notice that when i run az and doanload something my ssh even become unusable [14:59] hummesse: no idea, people have been complaininted today [15:00] Doonz: is this router a reasonably modern computer? [15:00] Hostname: sserver1 - OS: Linux 2.6.27-9-generic/i686 - CPU: 4 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) (3600.059 MHz) - Processes: 179 - Uptime: 1d 7h 15m - Load Average: 1.99 - Memory Usage: 521.64MB/3292.40MB (15.84%) - Disk Usage: 1857.72GB/6091.99GB (30.49%) [15:00] ok, ill trust the pidgin guys to make it go away then ;) Seems to be pidgin specific since windows messenger works for my friends [15:00] http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/MSN-changes-disconnect-Pidgin-and-Adium-users--/news/112398 [15:01] google news [15:01] Doonz: do you run ubuntu on your desktop too? [15:01] thanks, ill take a look [15:01] * Doonz hangs head in shame no [15:01] how can i create my own livedvd with the ubuntu livecd + my own configs & packages?? [15:02] I am having various problems with the radeon Xorg drivers in intrepid. does anyone know how to downgrade the drivers to the hardy version? [15:02] grndslm, There are tools for remastering... like uck [15:02] Doonz: hehe.. no worries.. you're getting full speed if you try downloading something from the router directly? [15:02] how can I get rid of checker board during xorg startup [15:02] Doonz: hmm.. load average 1.99.. for a router?.. that's kind of high imho [15:02] I've been told there's supposed to be a guide in the forums somewhere, but I just can't find it [15:02] how do I restart the trash applet? [15:03] it's the open source radeon drivers [15:03] Slart_: it running a few apps for my windows pc's [15:03] IdleOne: I always end up removing it and adding it back again [15:03] etnoy, /join #ati ? [15:03] Slart: just is not updating the image. trash is empty but showing full [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: didn't want to ask ubuntu-specific questions in a channel about driver dev and usage === drag is now known as w3ndra [15:04] :) [15:04] Doonz: does the network speed improve if you shut those down for a while? [15:04] Slart_: nope [15:04] Jack_Sparrow: and that channel is one of the deadest I've seen === yacc_ is now known as yacc [15:04] there has to be something somewhere that im missing that is bastardizing my speeds [15:04] etnoy, They know about a wide range of OS's and the ati [15:04] IdleOne: mm.. it does that for me sometimes too.. never found a way to fix it, other than removing it and putting it back [15:04] im just not sure what to look at [15:04] etnoy: how long did you wait for? [15:05] Hey. How to i install my intel 945GM driver properly? [15:05] i'm with Tekno... "how can I get rid of checker board during xorg startup"?? [15:05] Slart: decided to go with your idea. [15:05] thanks [15:05] Doonz: you haven't installed anything that would limit the network in any way? trickle? some firewall stuff? [15:05] adam7: some time, but haven't asked in a while now [15:05] IdleOne: you're welcome [15:05] perhaps I'll try there again [15:05] etnoy: in smaller channels you need to wait a rather long time -- maybe even > 24 hours [15:05] grndslm: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys [15:05] Doonz: I haven't used firestarter myself.. perhaps it's doing something weird? [15:06] hi *. I have created an usb startup stick, which boots fine, but its not persisting any changes (despite what I said when creating it). Any ideas how to turn on persistency? [15:06] adam7: okay, thanks [15:06] Slart_: it may but i cant find anything on it in regards to a speed issue. most of the threads dealing with it are on port fowarding and stuff [15:07] My daily cron is not executing properly... run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apt exited with return code 1 What does this error mean? Where can I check to see why failing? [15:07] I tried looking for /var/log/cron* but no file exists... looks like cron not logging? [15:07] i can't seem to get my dvd-rom to read any dvd-r backup discs, but i can watch dvds and view cdroms === razor__ is now known as bastid_raZor [15:07] cd-rs === Slart_ is now known as Slart [15:08] bonjour [15:08] Doonz: hmm.. let me do a quick google.. see if my google-fu is strong today [15:08] Dans le Terminal, quand j'appuie sur la touche "a", la barre des menus est desactivée et quand je rappuie sur la touche a, elle réapparaît.yikesyikesyikes [15:08] A cette adresse [url]http://standartux.fr/index.php?post/2008/07/16/Le-bug-qui-tue-sous-ubuntu, Standart explique qu'il faut modifier le fichier ~/.inputrc et supprimer la ligne "alias cd..="cd ..".tongue [15:08] Là où j'ai un problème, c'est que pour moi, ce fichier est vide:rolleyes:. Je cherche donc une commande pour reconstruire ce fichier ./inputrc, où alors si quelqu'un peut me donner le contenu du sien (je sais pas s'il de mon matériel, j'ai un toshiba A100-19K).tongue [15:08] Slart: hope so [15:08] gargar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:08] Merci d'avance pour votre aide.big_smile [15:08] !fr | gargar [15:08] gargar: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:08] sorry I go to ubuntu-fr [15:08] Slart, be one with da google :) [15:09] bye [15:09] Slart: i mean i can understand a hit of 100 - 300kb on the net speed but not 1800kb [15:10] Doonz: btw.. can you run top or htop on the ubuntu machine? see if anything is using up all the cpu power? [15:10] * Doonz goes to look at htop [15:10] Help! I upgraded to 8.04 which went wrong towards the end and now I have a system which is painfully slow doing things that worked fine previously - any way of refreshing the op system? [15:11] Doonz: nope.. I have a small mini-itx server and it handles my 10-mbit connection with no problems at all.. [15:11] Slart: nothing. Ethstatus was baggin my cpu tho 80% per ethstatus connection [15:11] but thats something i just fired up today [15:11] they are shutdown atm [15:11] Doonz: hmm [15:12] and now none of the cpus are higher than 2-3% [15:12] Ham1979 -> do you have a separate /home partition? perhaps a fresh install of 8.04 would be better [15:12] Doonz: have you been messing with other kinds of firewall guis's? [15:13] Slart: nope [15:14] if i do a fresh install will it preserver my setting files for things like postfix? === sean is now known as Guest37544 [15:15] * Doonz is soo confused [15:15] Ham1979 -> not all of it, some are in the server side? and not stash in /home [15:15] Doonz: well.. it might be that firestarter has somehow messed up your firewall settings.. resetting the firewall and reinstalling firestarter might make things work again.. or it could be something else that is wrong.. I'm not really confident enough with iptables to look at the raw rules and see if anything is out of order [15:16] Slart yeah im not sure [15:16] Doonz: but I would definately say something is wrong.. network traffic shouldn't be that hard to route... [15:17] Hi everyone [15:17] Hmm if weird things like a load of boxes appearing in the dialog box when you click restart would that be a fresh install required [15:17] Doonz: are you running the server version of ubuntu? or a regular desktop? [15:17] I think I know the answer just scared [15:17] my configs for postfix etc are in /etc/postfix [15:18] its only desktop version [15:18] so it may be something there [15:18] Doonz: ah, so you have an install cd ? [15:18] tonight im going to be installing server 64bit 8.10 but i was seeing if mebbe i could figure out this problem first [15:18] Slart: yeah but im not near the server atm [15:19] Doonz: hmm.. one way to test things would be to boot the live cd and just do the quick internet connection sharing stuff on it.. [15:19] Doonz: just to see if it handles the same [15:20] yeah i think im just going to ignore this problem for the rest of the day and see what happens when i install server 64bit [15:20] heh [15:20] Doonz: ok =) [15:20] thanx for your help [15:20] its more than ive gotten in the last 2 weeks [15:20] :) [15:21] Ham1979 -> you can make copies of your /etc/ and stash it in a dir in /home/ if /home will be preserved [15:21] Hrm [15:22] Hello. I've have problems with running Google Earth on ubuntu 8.10 [15:23] pidgin cant connect now?(have problem) [15:23] Hello, after upgrading to intrepid ibex from hardy heron i've lost sound, when i select the oss mixer in system->preferenecs-> sound however, i am able to get sound.. [15:23] any ideas on how to fix this problem ? [15:23] Anyone know something about problems with native intel graphics drivers? [15:24] cant see an option in gconf-editor to turn off window animation, just the simple non-compiz minimise/maxmimise [15:24] maximise * [15:24] soren_schantz: what problem are _you_ having [15:25] deany: do you have compiz (desktop effects) enabled? [15:25] jtaji: I won't run Google Earth properly. If i change to software emulation, it will work okay, but of course run very slow [15:25] no.. [15:25] gizmo: MSN is having internal server issues, thats cut off Pidgin, Kopete, etc.. its well known in the pidgin support channel... you can use meebo.com until it gets resolved, or use a non-MS IM service [15:26] soren_schantz: not sure what you mean by "properly" but I'll guess that you have compiz enabled, if so disable it [15:26] gizmo: MSN have changed the way its clients are supposed to authenticate to the server and pidgin doesn't currently have that ability, the developers looks to be working on the problem and presumably there'll be a fix soon [15:26] ok [15:26] DJones: they had a patch out last night for it. [15:26] patch for what? [15:26] sudobash: pidgin/msn [15:27] jtaji: What is compiz? It won't draw the globe properly, and i'm pretty sure that the problem is related to the graphic driver === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:27] will that update hit the package manager today? [15:27] soren_schantz: google earth? [15:27] I am having problems mounting samba shares over the network with CIFS. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6537949#post6537949 [15:27] soren_schantz: System > Preferences > Appearance, visual effect tab, click none [15:27] mrwes: who knows [15:28] IndyGunFreak: Yes, newest version [15:28] soren_schantz: disable compiz as suggested. [15:28] deany: hmm.. are you sure there is a way to turn animations on/off ? It's been a long time since I used plain metacity.. can't even remember if it had animations [15:29] Ryan_Delaney, I can't hit the address you sent, but what is the error? [15:29] for some reason my desktop takes ages to start (post-login in gdm). the background loads but the loading cursor stops spinning for a looong time and after it all starts up, im missing the user switcher and the powerbutton in the upper right [15:29] What is the effect of calling /usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2 supposed to be? [15:29] jtaji: It worked:) How can that be? [15:29] what is the fastest protocol to use to transfer between two debian based systems? [15:29] heath|work: I have mounted some shares over the network in fstab. When I browse them in nautilus with smb:/// I can write to the shares, but I cannot through the mointpoint, due to I/O error. [15:29] Slart: would of thought gconf-editor would have it.. its only a simple effect, i just rather not see it as its shot crap, and it doesnt look good when ive got a lot of stuff happening.. [15:29] over the network? [15:30] soren_schantz: opengl apps do not work well with desktop compositing [15:30] deany: here's a pretty old thread about these animations.. don't know if it still applies though.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43520 [15:30] IndyGunFreak: Yes it worked by setting it to none. [15:30] Ryan_Delaney, your post just came up... let me read through it real quick [15:30] jtaji: Thanks a lot:) [15:30] heath|work: Also I can read the files both ways, but I can only write to them in nautilus. It's writing through the mount point that doesn't work [15:30] onats_: ftp i'd try [15:30] heath|work: Ok [15:31] Hello! [15:31] deany: in conf-editor apps -metacity-general turn off compositing manager [15:32] hallo since today i can't burn dvd more... [15:32] I have a question about madwifi + hostap [15:32] when i give a empty dvd in my pc then nothing happens [15:32] nicoAMG: Go ahead and ask your question. [15:32] Heh [15:32] any ideas? [15:32] quibbler: compiz isnt enabled. is that the same [15:32] i make a WAP using ubuntu on a old-desktop pc [15:33] well its not ticked anyway === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:33] heath|work: I have to go to school (first day of classes) in a couple minutes. If you think of anything, can you post it as a reply in that thread, or PM me here? [15:33] Ryan_Delaney, sure [15:33] I need obexftp bindings for python, but they aren't in ubuntu repository. Where can I found them? [15:33] when i print with cups from windows, the printer prints an empty page... how can i fix it? [15:33] thanks :) [15:33] linduxed, its only up to 4mb/sec on a gigabit network... [15:34] The wireless hadware for the WAP is Atheros, and it uses the Restricted Drivers to operate [15:34] WAP ?:| [15:34] lol [15:34] nicoAMG: what atheros device is ti. [15:35] weird that my ubuntu raid1 install only reads from 1 drive [15:35] The problem is: I need to fix the operating wireless channel using hostpd.conf file but..... [15:35] onats_: remember that the net is only one component, there are a lot of other things in both comps that will constrict the speed [15:35] Hi, i am using knonsole, it always hangs. any other better terminal recommended? === Stooge is now known as NW-Ih8U [15:36] onats_: harddrives and card transfer speeds among other things [15:36] deany, no it's not the same but if it is not ticked i don't know, what exactly is it that is annoting you about the windows? [15:36] is it a bad idea to backup the root directory of a running system with rsync? Will this break things? [15:36] toader: there's several in the repos. [15:36] hostapd doesn' reconnice the "channel_policy" directive in the configuration file [15:36] IndyGunFreak: which ones? [15:36] linduxed, im assuming it shouldn't be the slowest / bottleneck... both hard drives are already at 3.0gb/s sata... [15:36] whn you do a raid1 (softraid) install should the OS read from 2 drives ? [15:36] well, there's gnome-terminal, which is obviously a gnome-app. [15:36] xterm [15:36] When I run apt-get update I get the following error. http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch. How can I fix this? [15:37] asas90: it won't break anything, but since files may be changing you might not have a snapshot of the system at a particular time [15:37] IndyGunFreak: the wireless card is a D-LInk DWL-525 [15:37] toader: xterm would probably be my suggestion. [15:37] asas90: if this is unacceptable, you can either back up the system while it's not running, or use LVM snapshots if you are using LVM [15:37] nicoAMG: well, what chipset is it is what matters, regardles, whatever you were talking about is way over my head, === etnoy_ is now known as etnoy [15:38] reduced resources option in gconf-editor did it, but gives a wireframe when movin windows, which is fixed by turning on accessibility... ive sorted it anyway, thx [15:38] asas90: I'd also exclude some directories like for example /var/tmp, /var/run, /var/lock, /mnt, /media [15:38] hi. I updated yesterday. Now I cant move my mouse. [15:38] onats_: i dont know, all i do know is that i can with fairly modern computers never get more than 30 MBit/s over my network [15:38] IndyGunFreak: i'm reading the hostapd documentation.. here: http://www.devicescape.com/docs/uwp/package_guide/pkg_hostapd.php#wp140807 [15:38] deany, great [15:39] jtaji: thanks for your reply. So if I'm not concerned about some backup-ed files to be slightly older than others (that is, no consistent snapshot), it's perfectly fine to backup a running system? [15:39] wait, its 4MB per second on my side, x8 its around 32Mbits.... [15:39] compiz is nice but it gets old quick [15:39] andy__: tried reconnecting it? [15:39] Slart yes [15:39] id rather have the ram back :) [15:39] linduxed, what's the best way to measure it anyway? [15:39] asas90: indeed [15:39] deany: I agree === onats_ is now known as onats [15:39] IndyGunFreak: I did installed hostapd from Ubuntu's software repos [15:39] Slart I am in virtual terminal lol, only keyboard shortcut i could remember [15:40] its something to have on when you have windows friends round [15:40] andy__: run "tail -f /var/log/syslog" in a terminal, reconnect the mouse and pastebin the result [15:40] !paste | andy__ [15:40] andy__: 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) [15:40] anyway, thx all, tyl [15:40] nicoAMG: how many times do i have to tell you, that what you're wanting to do is over my head? [15:40] andy__: hehe [15:40] how do I use pastebin through a terminal [15:40] IndyGunFreak: i just need to accomplish this final step [15:40] hi, installed ubuntu (8.10) to my flatmate, i then connected a usb wifi adapter (addon wgu195) which ubuntu immediately recognised, i then selected our wifi and insert the wep through the network manager of gnome and connected. It shows signal and everything but wouldn't ping google or anything else. I then check lsusb and it sees it as a rtl8187b... any ideas why it wouldn't work? [15:40] helo [15:40] nicoAMG: that doesn't change the fact i have no clue what you'er talking about. [15:40] andy__: install pastebinit.. "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" [15:40] andy__ use lynx [15:40] onats: dunno, i just check my speed through gui provided info === fenris_ is now known as e-jat [15:41] My pidgin dont connect to messenger network, any idea?

[15:42] for your affirmation [15:42] so any known issues with ubuntu and rtl8187b? [15:42] any solution for pidgin? [15:42] pablolibo i damm told u [15:42] pablolibo: use the web based msn for now [15:42] it's NOT yopur problem therefore NO, u CANNOT do anything until THEY sort it [15:43] lol 1415 ppl :) [15:43] cpunkpunk: take a xannex, and realtek and linux is always a pain [15:43] msn was alway goin down when i used to use it, so i switched to yahoo === DRNK-E is now known as drunky [15:43] !who [15:43] As you can see, this is a large channel.

[15:50] Hello good people of #ubuntu :D I have a problem with GNOME and no-one seems to be able to solve it :S (I've asked here and in the forums) so I tought "I'll just re-install GNOME" so the question, how do I re-install GNOME? [15:50] sarmisak, wat does this means " Inappropriate ioctl for device " [15:50] wonder if yahoo in windows has the same trouble [15:50] c'è nessuno? sono italiano [15:50] opersts, what do you get this error for? is it a device? [15:50] cpunkpunk: I wonder which driver Intrepid is using by default, that'd probably be worth knowing ;) [15:51] !it | davidebr90 [15:51] davidebr90: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[15:51] sarmisak, when i am extracting archieve files for a game [15:51] http://nokinux.forumup.it/ [15:51] Nicke i installed msn-pecan, restarted pidgin but couldn;t find WLM protocol [15:51] andy__: hmm.. command line msn.. there is one im for command line.. can't remember the name though [15:51] how can i get my microphone to work with ubuntu can anyone help me? [15:51] sarmisak: just let me find my Ubuntu post first [15:51] http://www.nude-project.com/ [15:51] andy__: alt+f1 gets you to the gnome menu, alt+f2 allows you to execute a command... That's really all you need ;) [15:51] andy__: ps2 or usb? [15:51] andy__: but msn seems to be broken for everyone anyways.. so you might as well wait until you've reinstalled [15:52] opersts, hmm, probably some crc problem maybe? or are you extracting a PS2 backup or something like that? [15:52] ASULutzy: Alt F2 got me into virtual command window... [15:52] IndyGunFreak USB [15:52] andy__: thats odd, have you tried using a PS2 adapter? [15:52] My whole install is corrupted, but i have exams this week so cant really reinstall, and my mum will kill me if she cant surf the web :) [15:53] andy__: just unplug it, then run dmesg | tail -f, and then plug it back in and see what it says [15:53] opersts, have you seen this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-501211.html [15:53] Vimes: most likely you have a user configuration problem which could be solving by deleting or moving your ~/.gnome2 directory to start with fresh settings, reinstalling gnome is likely to do nothing [15:53] andy__: well how did your install get corrupted? [15:53] Ubuntu Server 8.10 doesn't install a DHCP server by default does it? Network admin says i cant have my Ubuntu box connected because it conflicts with his DHCP server...

Then I saw there were updates availible, and it converted 80% of my OS to debian. This shit only happens to me :D [15:54] thanks ^^ [15:54] jtaji, actually the server is running Fedora we just want to host Ubuntu mirror [15:54] is ext4 in hardy?

[15:55] p4rse, they don't conflict or such [15:55] roshan08: that doesn't matter [15:55] sarmisak: ok thanks, do you know how to check if i for some wierd reason have a DHCP server running? [15:55] or i could just reboot into windows xD [15:56] jtaji, okay [15:56] eh, "find all my posts" didn't work o.O [15:56] jtaji, tanks [15:56] p4rse, try this; /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server status [15:56] andy__: well my friend says, to run adduser in terminal and it will create a new user [15:56] jtaji, sorry thanks [15:56] roshan08: no prob ;) [15:56] I need to know where to configure log on schedule so I can allow user ID to log on during certain hours.

[16:12] where are the mint people [16:12] IndyGunFreak well lucky u guys :) [16:12] Vimes, and try this; rm -rf ./gnome2 [16:12] Rob1: try run sudo apt-get update and see if you get errors [16:12] thanks [16:12] maybe i should compile everything :) [16:12] Vimes: start nautilus, press ctrl+h.. search for .gnome now [16:12] but in my rep in debian i still have 2.4.3 [16:12] Abed: er, GTK+ should already be installed? [16:12] When I print a document from my windows machine onto my ubuntu that's running CUPS, the printer prints, but the output is a blank paper. Can anyone help? [16:12] Jack_Sparrow: you're preaching to the choir. unfortunately the IT manager (more or less) fears anything she doesn't know. [16:12] cpunkpunk: i removed the version i compiled, because it didn't work, purged pidgin, then went and apt-get installed the version in the repos... then install msn-pecan, and ti worked perfectly [16:13] chancegarcia, Then you know where the issue is [16:13] rm -rf ./gnome2 did nothing, nautilus made Terminal stop >.< [16:13] recon69: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103966/ [16:13] i get that [16:13] Chousuke: on my system? no it is not [16:13] Rob1: use "sudo apt-get update" [16:13] Abed: are you using kubuntu? because it should be [16:14] sidney, /join #linuxmint [16:14] Abed: if you're running Gnome, it is :P [16:14] no i am using ubuntu [16:14] gnome [16:14] Vimes: ehm... rm -rf usually does stuff.. are you sure it didn't do anything? or it just didn't print out anything? [16:14] !sudo | Rob1 [16:14] Rob1: 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) [16:14] Abed: so you already have GTK [16:14] Jack_Sparrow: yup. but i'm trying to work around it. and she is being generous enough to not be insistent on me switching. also helps i'm not in her department. oh politics. [16:14] Slart: It did some stuff now, popped a emtpy window in "I don't work grey" mode ..I'll just have to wait and hope it decides to work [16:14] on Gnome ? [16:14] chancegarcia, I wont know the answer but could you repeat the question [16:15] Abed: Gnome depends on GTK [16:15] recon69: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103969/ [16:15] IndyGunFreak yes i c your point [16:15] freezes [16:15] Abed: unless you're talking about installing GTK1 [16:15] my prob htough is trhat the debian repos have only 2.4.3 [16:15] Abed: in which case: stop, you will fail. [16:15] no i mean GTK+ [16:15] Jack_Sparrow: can anyone walk me through setting up my ubuntu machine to a windows network with their auth credentials. i.e. machine username=chance while network username=redTapePolicy? [16:15] cpunkpunk: ah, ok, didn't realize you were using debian [16:15] cpunkpunk, We dont support debian repos.. [16:15] Abed: GTK+ = GTK2 = what gnome depends on. [16:15] i know u guys don't [16:15] recon69: I find that i can connect to the internet no problem [16:15] Rob1: you using a wireless connection? [16:15] No Ethernet [16:15] chancegarcia, Have you installed samba? [16:15] i never even pretended u guys would answer me debian related stuf : [16:15] cpunkpunk: well maybe try compiling 2.5.2 [16:16] my initial question was about rtl8187b in ubuntu :) [16:16] then we talked about pidgin [16:16] np [16:16] Chousuke how can i make sure or see if is it already installed? [16:16] IndyGunFreak i had that before and sdidn't work [16:16] but prolly because msn-pecan wasn't the right version [16:16] cpunkpunk: even w/ msn-pecan? [16:16] still weird though :) [16:16] IndyGunFreak yes of course [16:16] ok [16:16] but i think there is another issue there [16:16] for some reason my desktop takes ages to start (post-login in gdm). the background loads but the loading cursor stops spinning for a looong time and after it all starts up, im missing the user switcher and the powerbutton in the upper right... any ideas? [16:16] msn-pecan was apt-get installed, pidgin 2.5.2 compiled by me [16:17] Jack_Sparrow: samba is installed. [16:17] so maybe that was the missin glink [16:17] So, MS has broken the protocol again? [16:17] For MSN [16:17] Rob1: did the "apt-get update" complete, or is it stalled [16:17] Fraeon: pretty much.. :) [16:17] Abed: it is [16:17] Abed: it if weren't, you wouldn't be running gnome [16:17] Abed: it's that simple :) [16:17] cpunkpunk, Please note MS just kicked off amsn and other non MS uses [16:17] users [16:17] Rob1: it's releated to your network, the connection not staying up, thats why it's stopping, bit unsure of a fix though [16:17] hi guys [16:18] Jack_Sparrow so whatis going on is that MS now wants to get rid of non ms-msn users? [16:18] hopeffully it leads to a big revolt against MS, but somehow they always manage to attract the masses [16:18] !hi | ankit [16:18] ankit: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:18] cpunkpunk: no, they want you to use their junk software. [16:18] recon69: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103974/ [16:18] IndyGunFreak yes we should be the first not to use it actually :) [16:18] ok thnx Chousuke but one last question , if it is already installed in ubuntu why there is indep source? [16:18] jrib: do u have that link you sent me a few hours ago, we was talking about MBRs and grub a partition [16:19] IndyGunFreak, thought so. #pidgin is moderated and a channel I'm modding is flooded with people asking why they can't log into MSN. :P [16:19] cpunkpunk, they changed their codes here just recently so amsn users cant get on.. there was an article posted in here earlier today [16:19] have is it possible to installed voice messanger on ubuntu [16:19] IndyGunFreak yes sure, but how would u in lunux anyways even if u wanted :) [16:19] hi ali [16:19] cpunkpunk: i've got a friend that has drank their kool-aid, trust me, i've tried pushing them towards AIM or Yahoo. [16:19] cpunkpunk, they have done this before and I expect will do it again. [16:19] Rob1 : try "ping 10.160.2.1" [16:19] Fraeon: yeah, it started last night.

[16:24] Chilired: The bot should have sent you instructions on how to install it. And yes, you'll end up with the same thing if you install it using tasksel or by installing individual packages from the repos. [16:25] IndyGunFreak: any ones ? [16:25] Rob1: you got ADSL? I had this exact same problem untill the last kernel update [16:25] Hi! I have installed Ubuntu8.04 on server B and run the gnome desktop on B, accessing it with nxclient from A.

When I open a gnome-terminal from within the desktop on B, I get an error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". How to avoid this? [16:37] I found reports on /etc/fstab or udev errors that prevent the /dev/pts directory from having the right settings. But /dev/pts/0 exits, so its probably something else.

It's bad enough when people criticize bugs that are long gone, and I don't just mean with Wubi, I mean generally. [16:44] Doom2: what is your hdd connection? how did you installed ubuntu? [16:44] oCean_: rdesktop ipaddress [16:44] Recon69: Can get them to install [16:44] Pici, I have these thin clients and firefox is responding slow for some reason and i need some way to speed it up [16:44] Cant* [16:44] oCean_: nothing happend [16:44] what do you mean?

[16:44] [17:42] can someone help me, I'm using mythbuntu and I want to add my Mybook LAN-disk to it, to watch movies, but I must mount it first or something like that, can you help? [16:44] recon69, We are hoping it is a temp issue.. per the earlier link [16:44] Jack_Sparrow, and I was asking if you had any pointers to discussion about that, because the faq doesn't talk about it [16:44] Doom2: is it SATA, iDE or external (USB) [16:44] Jeruvy: apparently there is a regression bug in ubuntu intrepid where other people are having the same issue on hardware that worked under hardy [16:44] oCean_: nothing [16:44] sta [16:44] sata [16:45] evilx: I'm not sure of the name of a lightweight firefox app... Unless you're referring to prism (which isnt really a browser) [16:45] oCean_: no output, do i need to do port forward ??? [16:45] ferronica: can you ping the xp machine? [16:45] vocx, I wont re-test it, suggest it or use it or support it [16:45] oCean_: yes [16:45] Ali_ix:sata [16:45] simmerz: link? [16:45] Jack_Sparrow: luckly I not have any issues with pidign [16:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus-sendto/+bug/285283 [16:46] Jack_Sparrow: I was helping someone yesteday who had a bunch of rprobs w/ wubi.. seems more trouble than tis worth, just install it like everyone else does [16:46] Doom2: which log file did you get that error message? [16:46] ferronica: ok. Not sure than. I guess 'something has to be enabled in XP to let users connect through rdp [16:46] IndyGunFreak recompiled 2.5.2 and also msn-pecan by hand, it now works :) [16:46] Jack_Sparrow: ok, now i see, should have read it first :) [16:46] Jeruvy: I've also tried using the bluetooth systray menu to send a file with a similar error [16:46] Pici, can you recommend something faster then firefox that has full javascript(ajax) support and works on gecko engine? [16:46] var/log [16:46] cpunkpunk: great [16:46] using cd [16:47] simmerz: it appears from that link that there are few bugs... [16:47] recon69, Glad to hear it. I hope it was a temp issue, but I expect the problem will return as they in the past have changed code just to keep non msn users off [16:47] i am using alt 64-bit [16:47] Doom2: you are on another system or using a live cd? [16:47] another system [16:47] Rob1: I think the problem you having is caused by the combination of the ubuntu you running and your isp. so the web shop guys not going to have a clue what you talking about [16:47] Jeruvy: there may well be. all I know is that bluetooth obex doesn't work. surprised no one else has seen it. [16:47] evilx: epiphany-browser perhaps? [16:47] someone else having problem connecting with Pidgin today? I got error when trying to connect. [16:47] in here i mean [16:47] !brokenmsn [16:47] brokenmsn is MS apparently upgraded their MSN Messenger servers, causing newest 3rd party clients to unable to connect, shame on them [16:47] doesnt have the support i needed === jerry_ is now known as Guest81689 [16:48] oCean_: rdesktop output unable to connect [16:48] recon69, Since your is working.. are you connecting through one of the redirected servers, since that seems to work [16:48] ferronica: i wouldn't dare to paste the link I found here :) But type "rdesktop windows xp" in google and see first hit [16:48] Doom2: you need to check the grub (menu.lst) file and your root partition [16:49] how do i do that? [16:49] !grub > Doom2 [16:49] Doom2, please see my private message [16:49] new to linux in general [16:49] How can I connect to wireless network? [16:49] Jack_Sparrow: dont think it apply to me, I used amsn not pidgin to login to the msn service [16:49] Doom2: you need to boot the corrupted system using a live cd, mount the boot partion and check the file to see if it points at the right partion as root or not [16:49] ubuntu is on a sepreate hdd [16:50] simmerz: I use toshiba devices and no problems here [16:50] hareldvd: do you know what wireless device you're using? [16:50] not using a live cd [16:50] IndyGunFreak: Yep, it is eth1 [16:50] live cd wont woprk [16:50] recon69, Seems people with updated setup may have the issue.. lots and lots of people are trying to define the issue as we speak. [16:50] Jeruvy: odd. [16:50] thats why im using alt version [16:51] hareldvd: lol, thats not what i'm talking about.. what is the device... like Atheros, Intel, etc. [16:51] recon69, kde 3x and kopete still seems to work [16:51] simmerz: well I don't think 'working as directed' is odd at all :) [16:51] Doom2: it might be little hard for you to recover, if it is available, i recommend trying a fresh install (newer version (even unstable)) [16:51] Jack_Sparrow: well, this a 8.04 box, and never used any msn stuff in pidgin [16:51] IndyGunFreak: from lspci: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [16:52] IndyGunFreak: I made it work on Gentoo, if i did it there it must be a pice of cake on ubuntu [16:52] recon69, 8.04 has the older libpurple or something like that [16:52] Jeruvy: odd that yours works fine and mine doesn't. [16:52] hareldvd: i don't have much intel experience, but *usually* intel works out of the box. [16:52] hi all [16:53] Jeruvy: broadcom manufactured device for HP apparently in the Pavilion [16:53] simmerz: ok I'll quit picking on you :) did HP have any notes/bugs? [16:53] Jeruvy: it's not one of their "linux supported" laptops :| [16:53] i was wondering if someone could help me solve a mail header problem with ubuntu server 6.06 ? [16:53] Jeruvy, that bcm43 xx chipset seems to have endless revisions/versions [16:53] IndyGunFreak: On gentoo I had to write a script. How do you set it gnome or xfce GUI system? [16:54] hareldvd, under options where you login [16:54] hareldvd: i just told you i don't have any experience w/ Intel.. try searching the ubuntuforums [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: oh, it's that damn b43 chipset. That explains a bunch. [16:54] Jeruvy, not for sure.. but highly suspect that it is [16:54] can anyone go to pidgins msn right now? [16:54] is the server down? [16:55] !brokenmsn [16:55] brokenmsn is MS apparently upgraded their MSN Messenger servers, causing newest 3rd party clients to unable to connect, shame on them [16:55] hareldvd, what kind of script? You need to explain what it did. [16:55] Jack_Sparrow: lol, thats great. [16:55] Hey, it saves me a bunch of typing [16:55] Jeruvy: the other side is a broadcome BT-253 in the eeepc [16:56] Jack_Sparrow, by the way, you need to fix that factoid. The "brokenmsn is" shouldn't appear. [16:56] simmerz, and that is one of the reasons they have .. wait for it..

[16:57] Jack_Sparrow: and the bluetooth is "supposed" to work out of the box [16:57] vocx: Any idea how to link to wireless on gnome? [16:58] hareldvd, well it sounds like that should be done automatically with the networkmanager applet. Maybe you need to use the proper intel driver, because it may be buggy. [16:58] hareldvd, my first suggestion is to check out the ubuntuforums.org You mentioned intel i2200? I think that's a common chip, so you should find answers right away.

[17:26] ok thanks [17:26] will try [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: IndyGunFreak: Yes it appears to connect, however all of my contacts show "offline" which is a little odd, but not too unlikely so I'm not sure if thats a bug or what.. [17:26] IndyGunFreak, Care to look that over for him [17:26] perillux: well, if most of your contacts are use Pidgin, its a good possibility thats why [17:27] How do i change the screen res of one of my screens?

I guess all is well, thanks :) [17:28] perillux: good deal [17:28] Hi, all of a sudden I can't connect to MSN via Pidgen and I don't know why. I can sign in just fine on a Windows box, then I sign out proper and I still can't sign in through Pidgen. Any help would be appreciated. [17:29] !brokenmsn [17:29] MS upgraded their MSN Messenger servers, causing newest 3rd party clients unable to connect. Workaround for pidgin 2.5.2 users is « sudo apt-get install msn-pecan » Restart pidgin, create an account of type wlm and supply your MSN credentials [17:29] thanks Jack_Sparrow, I was unaware :D [17:29] np [17:29] stupid MSN [17:30] Jack_Sparrow, perhaps you could add this temporally to the channel topic. Although no one reads those, I could simply say "read the topic" [17:30] does anyone knows how I can acces my mybook NAS? [17:30] Having problems using my wireless LAN with the installed Remix on my laptop [17:31] Lokiase: do u know its IP? [17:31] Nubun, Sorry no idea. I have never seen remix or know who put it together [17:31] Lokiase: go to places >> connect to server [17:32] Baz_: their is no "places", i'm using Mythbuntu [17:32] Is it possible to activate wlan0 on boot instead of networkmanager that only works after logging in into Gnome? [17:33] pbrunier: you can use your /etc/network/interfaces file to do that === geo_ is now known as geo05 [17:33] Lokiase: i've never used it - is there connect to server? [17:33] ikonia: Read something about that...no clear howtos found. Everyone states something else on this subject. Especially because WPA is involved [17:34] Baz_: only "applications [17:34] wow... ubuntu rocks!! better than I thought [17:34] downloading google gadgets now!! [17:34] pbrunier: look at the synatx of the interfaces file, there should be some good docs on https://help.ubuntu.com [17:34] tell me some eyecandy themes :) [17:34] pbrunier: you just treat it as a network card, and there is an extra option for encyption [17:35] wait till you turn on compiz [17:35] thrillERboy: look around the net for ones YOU like [17:35] yea.. compiz, I heard of it.... lemme google ;) [17:35] Lokiase: open up your file manager and in the address bar type 192.168.0.xxx (hatever the ip of the box is) [17:35] all this, this sucks. MY CD-ROM just will not load my burned CDs of anything. None of my data CDs. It'll read music CDs and CDs burned by industry but not my own burned CD-ROMS. Can anybody help me? :( [17:36] strangeseraph: what application are you using to burn ? [17:36] cd [17:36] strangeseraph: I have had issues in the past with drive hardware failing to read a certain type of data, but not others, just as you say now [17:36] ikonia: ok thanks. Will look into it [17:37] uh, I don't know, I burned these CDs on Windows with some sort of free burning program. All my backups of everything will not work. I got one CD to work the other day, but once again it is failing to load. [17:37] strangeseraph: there are some windows burn options that won't work on linux [17:37] hi, my headphone jack not working on my aspire 6930 laptop, just keep playing through speakers? what do i need to check/change to get this to work? [17:37] its like it can't decide if it wants to read the CD or not. It will start to read the CD, then suddenly stop === DRNK-E is now known as drunky [17:38] and the linux people haven't found away around that yet? .___. [17:38] strangeseraph: no, it's closed source, and they are quite obscure options [17:38] im having a bit of a problem, I am installing a driver, and it says " Error: You appear to be running an X server; Please Exit X before installing" what do i do to fix that? [17:38] Eliteslave: installing nvidia graphics driver? [17:38] Eliteslave: exit the x server, what driver are you installing ?

[17:39] GTX280 [17:39] I DON'T REMEMBER. For this CD it was in like, 2007. [17:39] some might be InfraRecorder, another might be Nero. I just burned CDs when I needed them. [17:39] ikonia, I'm trying to change my iPod permissions... Which file do I pick? [17:39] Eliteslave: have you tried the drivers issues through ubuntu's driver manager ? [17:39] strangeseraph, Any filenames or extensions on the disk [17:39] Eliteslave: ctrl+alt+f1, log in, stop X (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop), install driver, start gdm (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start) [17:39] MindVirus: look in all of them for your ipods info [17:39] hello. how can i get the .config file used in ubuntu, if I want to use the same options when recompiling the kernel?????????????????????????? [17:39] Eliteslave: this will kill all your apps in X though [17:40] Eliteslave: system -> administration -> device drivers [17:40] hi, I'm having a problem getting my RAID0 array up and mounted in 8.10. I have a single drive with the OS installed and booted from and I have 2 other drives in raid 0. All this is on an intel ICH9R chipset. Trying to use DMRAID all I get is http://pastebin.com/dee5a1eb [17:40] Eliteslave: write the instructions down.. [17:40] strangeseraph, I wouldn't call that a Linux problem. Seems to be something on your side. Your CD burner, the CD brand you used, or the program used to burn your data. [17:40] yeah, some have mp3s, some have .docs, some have txt files [17:40] jessid: why are you building your own kernel - custom kernels are not supported ehre [17:40] Eliteslave: of course it's much easier to install the drivers from the restricted drivers thingy [17:40] here [17:40] Nubun, Please feel free to ask your question again, but please dont pm people without asking [17:40] Im getting bad flashing tho [17:40] hey, its not the CD-ROM, Windows always used to load these CDs. Ubuntu does not. [17:40] with the "restricted drivers" [17:40] does wine supports mIRC? [17:41] thrillERboy: ues === drunky is now known as drunky|food [17:41] thrillERboy: #winehq for wine [17:41] so if I need a driver thing, I need help finding one.

I need to recompile mi own kernel, but i am not expert in linux and the configuration process contains many, many options i unknow [17:41] also what is Xserver? [17:41] strangeseraph: read what people are telling you.. some windows apps use a weird format for burning cds [17:41] jessid: I wrote that book [17:41] i never setup a Server? [17:41] lol [17:41] jessid: the ubuntu kernel config file should be not used on clean kernels due to a few patches [17:42] ikonia mmmm i understand! [17:42] jessid: linux from scratch support is not for this channel [17:42] jessid: compiling a kernel is a good learning experience. pay no mind to the nay sayers and have fun [17:42] read what I'm telling you: I had problems with this CD at first in Ubunt, then ONCE it loaded but now its decided not to again. It is NOT the way I burned the CD. [17:42] thanks [17:42] ezerhoden_: no-one said it wasn't a good idea, but it is not supported in this channel [17:42] thrillERboy, np [17:42] let me ask a different question: where do I go in Ubuntu to check information about my CD-ROM drive? [17:42] ikonia i am not asking for support to lfs here. So do you recommend to start from zero??? [17:43] ikonia: he only asked where the config was. That was an ubuntu related question [17:43] ezerhoden_: expalining that it's not a good move on clean kernels is as far as it goes though [17:43] jessid: yes %100 [17:43] ikonia ok, I will follow your advice! thanks [17:44] jessid: if you read the text in the book you'll find it walks you through it [17:44] strangeseraph, check the kernel messages, with "dmesg" or optionally from the interface, System > Administration > System logs [17:44] Has anybody set up wifi ics or ap? I'm stuck on getting mine to broadcast the ssid. [17:44] strangeseraph: your CD drive could be breaking, is it old? and when did you change OS. [17:44] !ics [17:44] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [17:44] jessid: print out lspci -v [17:44] ubottu: u really a bot? [17:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about u really a bot? [17:44] thrillERboy, Yes [17:44] hi, i managed to make my ir remote work - i can receive signals from irw, but i dont know what to do next? how can i controll my computer? [17:44] okey... [17:45] now i can only watch codes and names [17:45] I'm liking this os... [17:45] ezerhoden ok. Thanks a lot! I will do that [17:45] but codes :/ [17:45] zbyszek: you need to write an interface to control your software through IR codes [17:45] and no firestarter isn't working it's not broadcasting the ssid [17:45] ikonia how? [17:45] zbyszek: learn a programming language [17:45] hi, i want just start one gui aplication but gnome allo to start all how i do to begin just one? [17:45] dmesg shows a lot of errors [17:45] !appdb [17:45] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:45] recon69 this computer is only two months old [17:45] ikonia ... [17:46] this app db page is not so cool :/ [17:46] strangeseraph: you have probably burnt them with windows extensions that are not supported [17:46] i can not only read IR codes, but irw also shows me play, net previosu etc [17:46] it has some top 10 apps, no so friendly [17:46] thrillERboy, Complain about it in #Winehq [17:46] hey, im trying to use AWK to get the number of pages from AWK. Does anyone know how to do it? I'm currently trying to learn the syntax [17:46] i doubt i will need to write new program [17:46] okey [17:46] zbyszek: the software you want to control needs to be able to interface with a program that can deal with ir codes [17:46] hey guys i just installed 8.10 and am getting some wierd ui stuff happening (ff windows disapearing, windows not restoring, etc.) is this a know issue or something with my graphics driver? [17:46] okay, so linux doesn't support MP3 and DOC and TXT and RTF and JPG? Wow, thats fun. [17:46] zbyszek: so hence why I say you need to get an interface [17:46] i mean the number of pages from the output of pdfinfo file.pdf [17:46] strangeseraph: not the data - the burn format [17:47] IrishDavid, using awk to get the number of pages of awk? What does that mean? [17:47] strangeseraph: listen to what's being said rather than coming back with smart responses [17:47] jessid: that will give you what hardware is using what module. you can use the / key in make menuconfig to search for those modules. just keep at it and you will find your way. [17:47] strangeseraph: there are burn extensions/formats for windows only [17:47] strangeseraph: you have probably burnt them with windows extensions that are not supported [17:47] strangeseraph: if you have chosen one of them, it won't work on linux/apple [17:47] sorry vocx I meant to say from pdfinfo using AWK [17:47] I am not a geek, I don't know what you mean by extensions. I know file extensions are .something [17:47] ezerhoden_ thanks a lot!!!! [17:47] strangeseraph: yes windows extensions, not data [17:47] jessid: any time [17:47] it was burnt as a DATA CD [17:47] zbyszek, If you are trying to setup a home media system with a remote, please look into mythty or linuxmce [17:48] HELP WITH UBUNTU REMIX, CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET [17:48] Nubun: don't use capital letters please [17:48] Nubun, Lose the caps.. [17:48] IrishDavid, actually there is no other way, but to read the manual. If you care about it, you can ask "ghostdog" in ubuntuforums.org in the Programming Talk subforum, the guy is the best using awk, perl, sed, and such. [17:48] strangeseraph: thats just a data type [17:48] I didn't choose any strange functions or features when I burnt, just dragged my files to the CD-ROM in the program and hit the 'burn' program [17:48] sorry [17:48] strangeseraph: Suggest a trip to a cybercafe with a couple of blank DVD's, use windows machine to read the CD's and copy them back to DVD using ISO standards [17:48] Nubun, Lose the caps. and come up with a better question with the information people would likely ask you first like hardware [17:49] strangeseraph: yep, that drag and drop most likely cause [17:50] recon69, non finalized multisession blah [17:50] if ics has 2 interfaces bridged how do I get my other computers to recognize the internal wifi ssid that isn't being broadcasted [17:50] Have a system up'n running but cannot connect to the network.

And most programs want you to choose your folder from a drop down list that you want to burn. [17:52] strangeseraph: stop making assumpitions [17:52] strangeseraph: if you don't know th program - you can't know what the settings are, and you can't generalise [17:52] iwconfig lo no wireless extention eth0 no wireless extention wmaster0 no wireless extention [17:52] strangeseraph: you might want to do a test run before you copy all you data just to make sure it workd [17:52] not this CD. but other CDs I've burned using infrarecorder. I know that. UBUNTU recommened that program to me.

[17:54] yes, and thats also the program I used to burn the most recent DATA CD which took seventeen tries before Linux finally loaded it. Once. And wouldn't again. And then would. ANd now won't. And other CDs I have behave the same [17:54] strangeseraph: so this has worked before [17:54] strangeseraph: do you not feel it was worth mentioning that when we said it may have been an incompatible option ?

I want to check my cpu temp. [18:12] strangeseraph: thats great, [18:13] strangeseraph, Thank you [18:13] jack_Sparrow can you provide with such information ? [18:13] your welcome Jack_Sparrow [18:13] Nubun, No [18:13] so I posted the issue in the forums, and I shall wait for possible answers there. [18:14] Can you tell me if your system has DNS host information in place ? [18:14] jack_sparrow [18:14] Nubun: doesn't matter what jacks system has, more important what yours does [18:14] my information is presently empty [18:14] so cross checking with jack_sparrwow [18:15] Nubun: it doesn't matter what jack has [18:15] sorry sparrow [18:15] strangeseraph: does anything show up in the logs when it tries to read the cd/dvd? (tail -f /var/log/syslog) will give you a "live view" of the syslog) [18:15] Nubun: yours is empty that means you have no name resolution [18:15] Hello, I might require some assistance with setting up vsftpd ?

[18:16] hello all! i hope to help me somebody [18:16] what am I looking for Slart? [18:16] Jack_Sparrow: are you the real jack sparrow? [18:16] not sure if this needs to be setup ? [18:16] No, I'm wrong. [18:16] Slart: I have open port 20 in the router [18:17] zsolty_: so then you just need to configure DMZ [18:17] how can i change my icons in openbox? [18:17] Stormx2: I think one port is for communication.. the other one for data.. [18:17] fogobogo: supness [18:17] heya sniffle [18:17] is anyone here familiar with virtualbox?

[18:25] dennda: there are local group setup [18:25] oh god [18:25] Pici: Just for info, the brokenmsn factiod doesn't need a new account creating, just the orginal one changing from MSN to WLM, I've just done that myself, whether its a case of working for everyone is another matter though, so I guess the factoid is probably better as it stands [18:25] Where's all the video experts [18:25] ikonia: I am already approved. My status is about to expire. I want to know how to prolong it :-) [18:25] DJones: noted === mrwes_ is now known as mrwes [18:25] NGL-Jabrroa now don't tease, I bought the laptop and I couldn't put XP or 8.04 on it, I had to wait to see if 8.10 would work on it and used Wubi until I could run it. [18:25] dennda: grab one of the council members [18:25] strangeseraph: can you try burn a CD in ubuntu and see if that works [18:25] dennda: give them a nudge [18:25] hi dennda o/ [18:25] strangeseraph: I can't say I understand the error message.. but it's useful for googling [18:25] jacekowski: I undestand, I will open also port 21, and 100 ports above 1024, this way the browsers will work? [18:26] Hm. I have some stuff I could burn, yeah [18:26] hi fogobogo (whoever you are :-)) [18:26] strangeseraph ill never go back haha except for xp [18:26] zsolty_: you need to configure vsftpd to use only that range of ports [18:26] oh wait, now the data cd from Vista isn't working. Dangit! [18:26] dennda: The membership board for your region should be able to help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards :) [18:26] strangeseraph: besides.. it's a pretty generic error message.. could be anything from a broken drive to a broken/scratched cd.

It's essentially just a graphical frontend for xrandr, which is the command line tool that lets you do the same [18:31] * strangeseraph laughs at herself [18:31] ASULutzy: will try it [18:31] IndyGunFreak: thanks.

[18:32] is medibuntu also available in kde? [18:32] mas2: no, its not a problem w/ Pidgin...

[18:32] mas2: Blame MS, I'm sure Pidgin will fix compatibility asap, but even if they did it within the week, it would still take a little while to get moved to Ubuntu repositories, so best bet is to try that workaround. I've been using it today, and it works, though I occasionally get disconnected while using it [18:32] biouser: unless you want to use the beta [18:33] c_korn: medibuntu is a repository of codecs, it will work in gnome, xfce, kde, flux, etc. [18:33] okay, time to test burning a CD in Ubuntu.

[19:26] thanks so much for your help recon69 and Slart :) Hopefully I'll figure it all out eventually. [19:26] has anyone here had windows XP in a virtual machine? [19:26] Flannel: Around?

[19:26] I am trying to find out how in html-mode under emacs I can set default value of tab - 4 spaces instead of 2 default. Can somebody suggest something? [19:26] I should have never decided to install ubuntu! [19:26] V0iD_, vbox etc does it quite well except 3d [19:27] energY you must be lost? [19:27] <[pq]> Lokiase: you can use "nano": sudo nano /etc/fstab [19:27] strangeseraph: you're welcome, hope you find out what was wrong [19:27] Lokiase: isn't there "vi" or "nano" as editor? [19:27] Lokiase: I'm not familiair with mythbuntu [19:27] Jack Sparrow: Im using vmware but when i leave XP on for longer than 3 hours my latop cuts out! >.< [19:28] Ocean, nano is open [19:28] Any ideas? [19:28] V0iD_, Overheating [19:28] Nope! [19:28] energY what is your problem? [19:28] <[pq]> Lokiase: you should already have nano installed in your box [19:28] [pq]: I have [19:29] Lokiase: okay, so you have /etc/fstab open in nano? [19:29] oCean: yes [19:29] hello [19:29] Hello there. Do you know of any mail notification applet that makes it possible to delete, mark as spam, etc every incoming mail like checkgmail but with support for multiple email accounts including non- gmail accounts?, pls [19:29] do you guys know any little application take notes (howtos, personal documentation) ? Not tomboy! [19:29] strangeseraph: the reason I asking about the CD's you burned, is if you burned them on the new laptop and they now only work on the old laptop it strongly points to the new DVD burner being faulty [19:29] <[pq]> Lokiase: so, what's the problem with "sudo nano /etc/fstab"? [19:29] I've got a drive with lots of photos, divided into about 300 folders.. opening this drive in nautilus first makes me wait 25 seconds before the folders show up.. then if I descend into one of the subfolders it takes about 10 secs for that folder to load.. going back up to the root folder of the drive again takes 10 seconds.. is this normal behaviour for an ext3-drive? can I do anything about it? [19:30] i want to execute a bash script before the X server starts, how is that possible? [19:30] [pq]: no problem anymore with that [19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: oh ok. add a line in fstab like this: //192.168.2.2/PUBLIC /some/where smbfs default 0 0 [19:30] Jack_Sparrow: The worst thing is when i use xp it does it but when i have ubuntu installed its fine so definitly not over heating! [19:30] Lokiase: then add a line there like "//ip/drive /mountpoint smbfs username=x 0 0" [19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: sorry it's 'defaults' and not 'default' [19:30] Anyone here use Amazon's S3 service? [19:30] <[pq]> Lokiase: //192.168.2.2/PUBLIC /some/where smbfs defaults 0 0 [19:31] V0iD_, Running xp in a vm is not the same thing as ubuntu or xp alone [19:31] Lokiase: [pq] is right, "defaults" is okay if you don't have to use credentials for mounting [19:31] b4dace, yes it is possible [19:32] I typed that line, and now? [19:32] Lokiase: might want cifs instead of smbfs, unless it's an old windows host [19:32] Jack_Sparrow: I know but I thought i'd try to rule out every possibility, but it seems its XP! [19:32] I am a photographer who currently uses the standard Ubuntu distro, and various image apps like LightZone, The GIMP, CinePaint, DigiKam etc. However, I have just read about Ubuntu Studio (http://ubuntustudio.org/). Are there any advantages to using that over the normal Ubuntu, other than the apps that come shipped with it, because I assume those same apps can be installed anyway, on normal Ubuntu? [19:32] Lokiase: quit nano, while saving the file [19:32] b4dace, Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ... [19:32] hi all [19:32] Ocean: how, dont understand the "commands" [19:32] Is there a wine channel? [19:33] Jack_Sparrow, thanks, i'll give it a try [19:33] Gizmo_The_Great, It is easy to add them to ubuntu.. [19:33] <[pq]> Lokiase: it's ctrl+x [19:33] <[pq]> Lokiase ^X means ctrl+x [19:33] ok done [19:33] !ubuntustudio [19:33] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [19:33] whats the next step? [19:33] #winehq [19:34] Jack_Sparrow, I figured as much. I was just wondering whether it's kernel was tweaked\adjusted in some way to deal with 'studio like' work, or something bizarre like that. But if it's just a batch of apps, I'll stick with the norm [19:34] Lokiase: you're sure /etc/fstab entry is correct? [19:34] <[pq]> Lokiase then try it [19:34] Gizmo_The_Great, ubuntu studios main difference from normal ubuntu is the realtime kernel. it is a benefit in some cases like sound processing [19:34] Lokiase: I mean, you saved it correctly? You can do "cat /etc/fstab" just to check [19:34] Gizmo_The_Great, Just added apps [19:34] jim_p, I didnt see much difference using the realtime [19:35] Jim_p realtime kernel? That's interesting. How does it differ from the normal? [19:35] anyone have a moment to give a little help about removing programs to a beginner? [19:35] hi, when I run this command it should sort processes by elapsed time but they are not: ps -eo etime,pid,args --sort=-etime [19:35] cat /etc/fstab gives: //192.168.2.2/PUBLIC /home/myaccount/test smbfs defaults 0 0 [19:35] Lokiase: seems okay. Is /home/myaccount/test existing directory? [19:35] Jack_Sparrow, i have never used a realtime kernel. however this is critical for sound processing for some reason that the kernel may induce "lag" [19:36] Ocean: yes [19:36] Gizmo_The_Great, it is compiled with the realtime flags enabled. that means it wastes no time writing logs and the like [19:36] its mounted their for the moment, with the previous commands [19:36] is this a bug in ps not sorting elapsed time correctl? [19:36] Lokiase: okay. Maybe the drive is still mounted, from before.. when you mounted it manually? [19:36] <[pq]> Lokiase: I hope "cat /etc/fstab" gives also everything you already had in your fstab before that [19:36] jim_p, I never noticed anything,.. I have RT, 386, generic well most all the kernels installed in Ub [19:36] Ocean: thats what I ment :) [19:36] wasup [19:36] selectable from grub menu [19:36] Lokiase: umount it by using "umount /home/myaccount/test" [19:37] can i use e2defrag on ext3 filesystem? === MaT-dg is now known as cpf_ [19:37] Gizmo_The_Great, dont force me to remember a real life example with cars and the like :P [19:37] lol [19:37] jim_p, :-) lol [19:37] oCean: done [19:37] ?? [19:37] ty: defragging ext3 is called cp to a spare disc, and cp back [19:38] Lokiase: great. Now type "mount -a" to see if it picks up your samba drive automatically [19:38] zerograv: depends on the program and how you installed it. can can use synaptic to remove programs [19:38] i know that, but can i? i was able to with a jumpdrive but i couldnt seem to do it with a live cd [19:38] ty: but ext4 will have online drfragmenting "soon" (about 3 months form now) [19:38] ty: There is a program called "Shake" to defrag Ext2/3. [19:38] where can i get it? [19:39] why do you want to defrag anyway? [19:39] Hi all, i need to downgrade perl version 5.10 to v 5.8 [19:39] !defrag | ty [19:39] ty: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [19:39] cause i have lots of big dvds [19:39] i know but the less fragments i have, the better it will run [19:39] Ocean: how can I see it, I did mount -a [19:39] i know it doesnt get fragments much [19:40] ty, that's the windows way, ext3 does not work that way [19:40] ty: It might be in Ubuntu repos - if not, http://vleu.net/shake/ [19:40] ty, follow the link ubottu wrote on the channel [19:40] Lokiase: no errors? That's probably okay. Type 'mount' to see if it's really mounted [19:40] everything fragments [19:40] anyone kno if ubuntu can use the ps3 vram now? like suse or ydl. [19:40] Lokiase: or just "cd /home/myaccount/test" [19:40] just some fragment less than others [19:40] mine can [19:40] my ps3 does [19:40] <[pq]> ty: defragmenting doesn't make you have faster computer on ext3 and it shortens life of your hardisk [19:40] oh [19:40] hows the speed NGL-Jabrroa? [19:40] how? [19:40] oCean: its mounted [19:41] very fast [19:41] !who [19:41] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:41] ty: wait untill ext4 gets the online defragger and move to ext4 :) [19:41] nice [19:41] Mion, ok [19:41] recon69 the new laptops DVD burn didn't work at all. The only DVDs I can read on this laptop that were made on this laptop were made in Vista [19:41] Lokiase: one other thing [pq] mentioned earlier.. When you showed "cat /etc/fstab" you only showed the smbfs line. The other lines are still in there.... right? [19:41] NGL-Jabrroa: you use the livecd or dvd? [19:41] i use Ubuntu 8.10 and BT3 [19:41] both [19:41] Ocean: they are [19:41] BT3 islive [19:41] <[pq]> Lokiase: would be bad if they werent [19:41] and ubuntu installed [19:41] thank you [19:41] when you installed ubuntu you used dvd? [19:41] Lokiase: ok. You're happy now? :) [19:42] Hey, I'm using utorrent on wine. How can I set it as the default program for .torrent files? [19:42] yes [19:42] ok [19:42] no problems? [19:42] l8r guys === The_Compiler is now known as The-Compiler [19:42] nope [19:42] ok [19:42] not having a working DVD burner worries me. I need a backup drive and an online backup solution.

[19:42] hm [19:42] i have an 40 GB ps3 with a 750 GB HDD and some mods [19:42] ive tried 2 different opensuse dvds and both freeze during install [19:42] Lokiase: indeed [19:42] <[pq]> lokiase yes, and try if you can write into your disk as normal user [19:42] tx all [19:42] so i wanted to try ubuntu instead [19:43] i have an 40 GB ps3 with a 750 GB HDD and some mods [19:43] opensuse has something on their site about the ps3 being weird with their dvd's sometimes [19:43] ahh [19:43] ya i just got the 160 [19:43] works fine [19:43] !ot [19:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:00] nomaS: ps === wernher_von_brau is now known as wernher_vonBraun [20:00] thanks [20:00] thiebaude: I don't need to recover the windows mbr, i just need to install XP on the blank 30gb partition I made with the ubuntu install. 's not working though, so I think I just need to reinstall both ubuntu and XP... with XP first now, as I have learned [20:01] its not mounting correctley [20:01] Percy: Powerpc is no longer a supported version of Ubuntu, please join #ubuntu-powerpc for specific help and see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ for more info. [20:01] does anybody know a good feed reader for ubuntu 8.10 [20:01] nomaS: I like htop. You can check it out. :) [20:01] my download speed from the repositories is terribly slow, how can I change the location from where it is downloading? [20:01] meistergrado: yes, just install xp first [20:02] I just found it [20:02] ah, thanks, I'll try there... [20:02] vlc does not read mp4 for me.. is there a pluggin or does it just not read them? [20:02] jinja-sheep, . i prefer ps -x hehe thanks [20:03] Y-Town: quicktime, flash... [20:03] so I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and am experiencing kernel panics... anyone seen this before? [20:03] strangeseraph: 90% sure it is the DVD drive failing then, The old CD's work because they work in old laptop. The new DVD drive shows it's dodgy by not being able to mount a blank DVD to write to. Last thing I can think of is maybe trying KB3 to write a CD incase it's a software problem with you other burning program. if it still dont work. I'd put windows back on it from your recovery disk, check DVD drive again, if it still fails contact your supplier about a [20:04] Jeruvy: thanks I will look for it [20:04] I want to develop linux applications but i dont know where to start.Are the any sites that can get me started ? [20:04] How do make checkgmail start with a 1 min delay? [20:04] B|ackPanther: what languages do you know? [20:05] Pici: yes. xbox live thru ubuntu with internet conn sharing (using firestarter) [20:05] recon69 the drive mounts the DVD and writes it, but the process fails at the end. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/104063/ [20:05] DavidSchles: see if they have been reported already at launchpad.net. [20:05] Mion,I know java and C.I want to improve on my C skills so i need something to motivate me. [20:05] Siiimm0n: sleep 60 && checkmail ? [20:05] is it possible in ubuntu to limit the traffic going over a specific network port. Or to limit all the internet traffic at once? === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [20:06] mion: thanks [20:06] jarco: your question is too vague, and not specific to ubuntu. Are you seeking software? [20:06] as I asked this...I had a kernel panic..... [20:06] so I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and am experiencing kernel panics... anyone seen this before [20:06] B|ackPanther: gui/cli? [20:07] Jeruvy, i am looking for a program or a function in ubuntu/linux to limit the traffic going over my eth0 or over all internet connections. [20:08] i can't find the configuration name to have apt-get always prompt y/n for package installations; does anyone else know where it is or what I need to set? [20:08] jarco: iptables is already installed, there are a couple front ends for it, firestarter being quite popular [20:08] Mion,CLI application for the start. [20:08] !ext4 [20:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [20:08] is the home partition the place in the file browser that comes default with documents, music, pictures etc. folders? [20:08] ok Jeruvy i will try that [20:08] anyone here know about kernel panics after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 [20:08] strangeseraph: the 10% unsureness comes from maybe you drive is weird and does not work with ubuntu, but would expect many posts about it if that was the case. that error comes as soon as it starts the burn, the other messages are just a test run [20:08] !lzop [20:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about lzop [20:09] B|ackPanther: hmm, maby take a look at ObjC and ncurses? [20:09] well my laptop is a recently new laptop and its not been on the market for long from the look of it. And it was the like, very small distribution of this laptop, they came out with a different model quickly after I think. [20:09] so I don't think many people would be using it. [20:10] B|ackPanther, Perhaps look at the contribution/participation pages to see what people are working on or need tight now [20:10] !contribute [20:10] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [20:10] Dear All , i have windows application which uses odbc connection string and i have MySQL database on Ubuntu am trying to make a connection between them but its not seeing the server or the request is not reaching properly , can anyone help ? [20:10] anyone here know about kernel panics after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10? [20:11] DavidSchles: see if they have been reported already at launchpad.net. [20:11] ameed_, #ubuntu-server or #php or #apache2 might get you a faster answer [20:11] ameed_, you'll want to check out #mysql as well, what's the error you're seeing [20:11] DavidSchles, Are you running an nvidia card with 177 propietary drivers? [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: yes [20:12] roll it back to 173.. that is what worked for me [20:12] strangeseraph: but do try with a couple of different disks and a different program just to be sure. all I can say is that I strongly think the laser on that drive is not well. [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks...hopefully that will do it [20:12] DavidSchles, Very lucky guess on my part [20:12] frostburn: am thinking that there is some firewall on Ubuntu which is blocking the request can you tell me from where can i check the firewall logs [20:12] ? [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: mm :) [20:12] !iptables [20:12] 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). [20:13] ameed_, run an iptables -L to see if it might be blocking anything [20:13] mebbe :/ that would be frustrating. Its a new computer! But my USB ports work so I may just forget the backing up to CD thing and get a good external [20:13] DavidSchles, I am running a 6600 oc nvidia card [20:13] frostburn: one sec am checking [20:13] can someone add the thing about 'msn-pecan' to ubotu? everyone has been asking about the solution [20:13] the CD reader works with factory CDs right? So I'm fine for running Ubuntu or Vista if I need to [20:13] !brokenmsn [20:13] MS upgraded their MSN Messenger servers, causing newest 3rd party clients unable to connect. Workaround for pidgin 2.5.2 users is « sudo apt-get install msn-pecan » Restart pidgin, create an account of type wlm and supply your MSN credentials [20:13] great, thanx :) [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: it's working again for me - no pidgin changes needed [20:14] frostburn: it shows no data so this means its not blocking anything ? [20:14] ameed_, correct, I'm thinking it's a mysql user permissions issue [20:14] ikonia, They probably rolled back their changes.. but I would expect to see the issue pop up again very soon [20:14] Jack_Sparrow: I was trying to find out what had changed (as you say roll back) a few minutes ago [20:15] ameed_, have you added a user like user@% [20:15] ikonia, Somting borked in libpurple from what I can tell [20:15] frostburn: Thanks alot , i will double check that . do you think i need anything else than unix-odbc to allow odc connection with MYSQL [20:15] ? [20:15] usually when you add a user to mysql it can only connect through localhost [20:15] you have to specifically tell mysql that your user can connect from any host [20:16] recon69 the thing that tells me it might be a driver issue and not a laser issue is that the drive DID work under vista, read and write [20:16] sarmisak: it's weird that in older pidgins it works okay. my gf is using 243 and it's working ok for her [20:16] ameed_, not that I'm aware of, I actually don't use odbc, I just know mysql authentication === dhoss-laptop is now known as dhoss [20:16] sarmisak: i added a user called voipswitch and allowed all permisions to it [20:16] strangeseraph: well, factory CD's use different frequency of light that burnable CD's , so you can have drives that will read factory CD's but not home burnt ones. but you tell me, does it work with factory CD's? from earlier you said you vista disk would not load [20:16] ameed_, it is not the same thing [20:16] ameed_, I'm talking about remote connections not rights [20:17] frostburn: can you tell me if mysql authintation does same as unix-odbc [20:17] ? [20:17] the vista disk wouldn't load in Ubuntu, but it can load when/if I try to install Vista (not that I want to anymore). The vista data disk was fine in vista, but under ubuntu I can't read it. [20:17] ameed_, do a SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'voipswitch'; [20:17] sarmisak: i have tcp/ip enabled [20:17] ameed_: unix odbc is just a connector [20:17] so the BIOS recognizes the CD/DVD-ROM drive [20:17] ameed_, follow this lead; http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html [20:17] I can boot from a DVD or CD [20:18] join #ubuntu-it [20:18] otherwise I wouldn't have been able to install Ubuntu 8.10 since that was a burned DVD! I forgot, that wasn't a factory burn it was a burn I did in vista, and I installed Ubuntu from it === fabio is now known as beeezn [20:18] Is there a good channel I should go to in order to ask questions about virtualization? [20:18] ikonia: i know its just a connector am asking if mysql authintaction is better than using odbc to connect to mysql server on linux [20:18] mattfred: depends on the virtualisation technology [20:18] anybody experiencing problems with pidgin's facebook plugin? it's disconnecting me all evening saying my password is wrong [20:18] ameed_: odbc will still use mysql authentication [20:19] hello [20:19] strangeseraph: would indicate ubuntu driver/hardware problem if you can boot from a disk that ubuntu wont read. it's a factory vista disk you got? [20:19] can/cant [20:19] I'm using SunxVM Virtualbox with Windows XP [20:19] mattfred: there is a sun mailing list for that [20:19] hi, i'm using intrepid. i just downloaded an rpm from the opensuse official oss package repo, namely gtk2-theme-openSUSE-11.1-1.12.noarch.rpm because i like the theme they use. i tried to unpack it now using file-roller, but i just gives me errors like that: cpio: Malformed number. any help? [20:19] strangeseraph: meant what i said the first time can boot [20:19] yeah [20:20] beeezn: I suggest you speak to suse guys about their rpm's [20:20] I don't really have any technical questions about the software, more along the lines of what I can do in linux [20:20] mattfred: what do you mean you can do ? [20:20] ikonia , thanks i think sarmisak has solved my problem [20:20] ameed_: super [20:20] specifically can I assign it to a workspace and automatically have it capture the mouse/keyboard when I switch there? [20:20] yeah well i thought maybe somebody knows what to do on ubuntu to extract them [20:20] "Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or higher) is needed" Is there an ibex package for that? [20:20] beeezn: cpio should work fine [20:20] mattfred: assign *what* to a workspace? [20:20] sarmisak: Thanks alot this link did answer what i needed [20:20] strangeseraph: do you have a movie DVD , just to try something other that vista disk [20:21] CarlFK1: flashplugin-nonfree [20:21] my virtual XP session [20:21] beeezn, Not a good idea to use rpms even with alien converting them [20:21] ikonia: thanks. [20:21] just like have it fullscreen on one workspace [20:21] strangeseraph: but that wont work [20:21] i don't want to use the rpm [20:21] i want to extract the theme [20:21] and install it by hand [20:21] beeezn: cpio is your friend [20:21] beeezn: they should just be cpio archives [20:21] mattfred: in compiz, i assign certain apps to certain workspaces. it's in the Place Windows plugin. then that app always opens all its windows in that workspace. [20:21] beeezn, convert it and pick it apart [20:21] I'll get one of my DVDs. It should work in VLC. [20:22] One more question guys , i download Zimbra desktop and i see that the file format is .sh anyone knows how to run that [20:22] strangeseraph: think you need someone who knows the ubuntu DVD drivers and setup, I dont [20:22] cpio just hangs when trying to extract [20:22] mattfred: It works for me. I just fullscreen the VM in that workspace. [20:22] and alien gives me [20:22] maco: thanks I'll give that a try [20:22] beeezn: sure you've got the syntax right ? [20:22] error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) [20:22] error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm [20:22] mattfred: i also set my compiz to change window focus when i hover over a window instead of having to click. thatd probably make a more transparent glide into the vm, but it might also take some getting used to that you dont have to click to focus [20:22] maybe i need to build that database? [20:22] mattfred: Then to switch workspaces, I just hit host key and ctrl+alt+left [20:23] hello, what tools/packages do I use to build a software RAID 5 array in Ubuntu ? [20:23] beeezn: rmp? [20:23] beeezn: nah, just need to un-cpio it [20:23] hey I'm using synaptic to install software on ubuntu 8.10 and the search feature seems broken [20:23] cpio --extract [20:23] beeezn: rpm? why are you using rpm on ubuntu? [20:23] not? [20:23] What's the best way to de-virus a windows partition from ubuntu? [20:23] beeezn, Get someone with redhat to pull it apart for you [20:23] i got a start script in my home folder, from /etc/init.d/ ive made a symlink to that file, but when calling /etc/init.d/test i get an error about "to many levels of symbolic links"... what is the problem? [20:23] like i said i just want to use the theme inside [20:23] meistergrado, clamav for a start [20:23] and i can't find another pak [20:23] package but that rpm [20:23] ie searching for everything returns no results when the items are clearly there if you scroll through all packages [20:23] beeezn: it's not just cpio --extract [20:23] beeezn: check your syntax [20:23] ups [20:23] holaa [20:23] will od [20:24] q pasa..por aca [20:24] meistergrado: I know of a way to use an online virus scanner [20:24] !hi > UA_H [20:24] UA_H, please see my private message [20:24] or if not nothing then a result lacking lots of items [20:24] ie a search for nvidia doesn't show the driver [20:25] although it is there in the alphabatized list [20:25] anyone here using an APC backup unit? i'm wondering if you can split that rj-45 to USB cable so that multiple systems can use the UPS [20:25] any game developers here or anyone interested in joing a 2D game dev team [20:26] !ot [20:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Unfortunately the file permissions for this device node doesn't allow me to use the command eject on it, unless I use sudo. Is this fixable somehow?

[22:10] !update [22:10] compubomb, misread the version of php you had [22:10] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes === Guest11606 is now known as justplayin1 [22:10] suddenly when I log into my ubuntu server (7.10) via ssh, and try to run "sudo pico filename" it doesn't open the file, just returns back to the next line. any ideas why? [22:10] installing ebox I am running into a dependdance issue libapache-authcookie-perl is not available (I am running apache2) [22:10] <|unjustice|> ubottu: add host addresss [22:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:10] nickrud_: how do you rollback a version ? [22:10] have any ideas ? [22:11] morphatic: try nano, its a clone of pico, which doesn't exist on ubuntu [22:11] compubomb what are you trying to roll back? [22:11] compubomb, it can be done, if you still have the old php packages in /var/cache/apt/archives [22:11] pdtpatrick: the version of php i have. [22:11] i'll look [22:11] !nano [22:11] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [22:11] |unjustice|: ~/.ssh/ === KilL_MaSTeR is now known as KilLMaSTeR [22:11] gnutron: same result (btw, I do have pico installed on my ubuntu box) [22:12] gnutron: ie it just goes to the next line without opening up the editor === KilLMaSTeR is now known as KilL_MaSTeR [22:12] is there unicode capable text mode mail program that works out of the box? mutt, mailx or emacs' rmail does not seem to have reasonable defaults. [22:12] mail client, i mean [22:12] mua [22:12] kek: alpine? [22:13] How can I change a package so it is no longer considered to be "auto removable"? [22:13] it does open up the editor if I just do "pico filename" or "nano filename" but then I can't save the files b/c I didn't run them with sudo... [22:13] morphatic, does "sudo su" work? [22:14] morphatic: is /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts identical in hostname? [22:14] help me [22:14] !help help [22:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about help help [22:14] !help > kk [22:14] kk, please see my private message [22:15] configure kaffeine plugin pls [22:15] hi, I'm trying to set up an intel wifi card. I've loaded the right modules but I still can't get the device in ifconfig [22:15] compubomb, it looks like 2ubuntu5.3 is still in the package pool; dpkg -l '*php5*' | grep ^ii to get a list; sudo apt-get install php5-=5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 , for each installed package [22:16] Azzmodan: what is su? running "sudo su" just returns me to the next line [22:16] Is this correct "In Linux all that need be running is the Linux Kernel and the command line interface e.g bash"? [22:17] morphatic: man su [22:17] !sudo | Azzmodan morphatic sudo -i is preferred over sudo su [22:17] Azzmodan morphatic sudo -i is preferred over sudo su: 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) [22:17] skystar2 is configuration ok [22:17] morphatic: try your sudo pico line again. [22:17] is bz2 more compressed than gz? [22:17] archive types [22:17] yes [22:17] is ok [22:17] I've got a problem with a new harddrive I've installed in my ubuntu 8.10 desktop. I installed the harddrive and formatted it ext3 with gparted. After formatting the drive I mounted it. Once mounted I'm unable to write to the drive unless I have root permissions. Can anyone tell me how I can mount this drive(/dev/sda2) with read/write permission for my user? [22:17] but alot slower [22:18] is there something you can download that scrambles text when you type on your screen so prying eyes cant read it? [22:18] MrElendig: traitor [22:18] ok [22:18] gnutron: not sure what you mean. running hostname gives me the name of the host but no references to the files you mentioned. [22:18] fogobogo: trolltor [22:18] :p [22:18] Rabbitbunny: no joy [22:18] MrElding: thanks, l8r [22:18] fogobogo: of course, thanks [22:18] cccam [22:19] morphatic: if /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are not i've heard sudo may not work. never had the issue myself. [22:19] morphatic: they must be 'identical' i omitted that word, sorry [22:19] i have problem, i have a webdav server on my linux, i can access it from a XP SP3 box, create directories/delete some, but impossible to read a single file, any idea ? [22:20] gnutron: ah, that may be the problem. they are not [22:20] morphatic: cat /etc/hostname and cat /etc/hosts adjust accordingly [22:21] bye good night [22:21] nite [22:21] morphatic: thats gonna be a problem without sudo though [22:22] gnutron: I just added a new virtual host to my httpd.conf. does this problem have anything to do with that? === KilL_MaSTe is now known as killmaster [22:22] remote assistans for me ??? [22:22] morphatic, he doesn't mean that they should be identical exactly, but that you have a line 127.0.1.1 where is the same as the contents of /etc/hostname [22:22] has anyone managed to install ebox in ubuntu server 8.10 [22:22] Guys, what's the command that gives the computer specs? I think it had "cat" in it or something. [22:23] gnutron: ah, yes, I have that === Carlos is now known as Guest45282 [22:23] morphatic: its possible but ive done that before with no ill effects [22:23] VideoSmith: cat /proc/cpuinfo possibly [22:23] VideoSmith, sudo lshw | less has the most info [22:23] thanks :) [22:24] hi, anyone else the 8.10 alternate Cd to be...corrupt? [22:24] find the [22:24] Found: dict-moby-thesaurus, dmz-cursor-theme, gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, gnome-accessibility-themes, gnome-accessibility-themes-extras (and 251 others) [22:24] is there a way to find out what process is using what port? [22:24] Sertse, bad download or burn, happens often. [22:24] nickrud_: thanks i wasnt being accurate using the word identical. [22:24] !md5sum | Sertse (if good, burn, then run self test on boot) [22:24] Sertse (if good, burn, then run self test on boot): To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [22:25] mizipzor: netstat -tuap or netstat -tunap [22:25] Can anyone tell me how I can mount an ext3 drive with global read/write permission or at least read/write permission for my user? [22:25] gnutron, I used some words equivalent to that once, broke a system badly till we worked out what happened. :) [22:25] I did the Sudo command thing and it's loading. The cat one works too ;) [22:25] Wow not bad. [22:26] nickrud_: how do you tell what packages are currently installed ? [22:26] How can I change a package so it is no longer considered to be "auto removable"? [22:26] compubomb, dpkg -l '*php*' | grep ^ii [22:26] Is there a command to get the graphics card specs? [22:27] compubomb: dpkg -l in a terminal or dpkg -l |less will show ALL packages installed. [22:27] when I try to run remotepad server, I get a Failed to bind socket: Address already in use error, can someone tell me why this is? [22:28] gnutron: hmm, PID/ProgramName is set to "-" [22:28] mizipzor, try running that with sudo [22:28] nickrud_: btw, thanks [22:28] i was right, the new version of php is fubared. [22:28] compubomb, getting it done? [22:28] mizipzor: that means nothing is using that port [22:29] compubomb, the old ones are in the repo's, you can use synaptic to [22:29] so i just did [22:29] compubomb, 'force' [22:29] apt-get install `dpkg -l | grep "ii.*php5" | awk '{print $2"=5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3"}'` [22:29] My VPN-connectie is selectable in NetworkManager Applet, but after clicking it, it doesn't give a reaction. [22:29] compubomb, gack. or, awk in this case. [22:29] gotta love awk [22:29] :p [22:29] gnutron: wierd, pure-ftpd is having problems with the local adress already being bound [22:30] has anyone here worked with the Internet switch on the front of hp laptops before? [22:30] Is there a bugfix for VPNproblems in Intrepid? [22:30] I have [22:30] <|unjustice|> how do I make changes in /etc? I have to be root, but what is the command to alter it in terminal? [22:30] compubomb, but I do prefer your dpkg/grep line [22:30] |unjustice|: sudo $EDITOR /etc/whatever [22:31] PengytheDuckwin: did you say you have worked with that stupid little switch thing before? [22:31] |unjustice|: or sudo gedit /etc/ [22:31] hwo can I take a screen shot of a right click menu? it wont let me use PrtScrn [22:31] |unjustice|, or just sudo editor /etc/ . If you use gedit, use gksu gedit [22:32] yes, i have [22:32] !flac | CaptainMorgan [22:32] CaptainMorgan, please see my private message [22:32] doh! so it looks like I ran "sudo usermod -G groupname username" on my admin account and removed myself from the people who can run sudo. is there any way to undo this, i.e. get back my sudo ability? [22:33] <[c0ma]> lol [22:33] morphatic, reboot in recovery mode, drop to terminal, run adduser admin [22:33] PengytheDuckwin: how can I turn the connect back on when I turn if off with that? [22:33] Cadman: you have to find a way inside ubuntu to turn the internet on, It only likes to turn it off [22:33] nickrud_: can I do this from ssh or do I need physical access? [22:33] morphatic, add back adm, dialout, cdrom, audio, dip, plugdev, lpadmin as well [22:34] morphatic, oooh. [22:34] morphatic, physical to get to recovery, it's single user mode [22:34] nickrud_: I can get to the server, just perhaps not until tomorrow. [22:34] nickrud_: thank you!!!! [22:35] are there any tools I can get to monitor how much power this laptop uses? [22:35] mizipzor: anything else previously configured to use ftp/21 port? [22:35] PengtheDuckwin: yeah the only way I have figure out how to turn it back on is to restart the computer. do you know of any forms or anything like that which could help me out? [22:35] gnutron: not that i know of, trying to find out [22:35] I need a link or file or icon on my desktop that, when clicked, will execute the email program, give me a new mail, pre-populate the TO, SUBJECT and MESSAGE fields... Any Ideas, places to look, keywords to search for? [22:36] Grenyaris: you want it to work with any email program? [22:36] Cadman: I started using a new laptop before I switched to ubuntu, so I only know the switch won't do anything, your best bet is to restart, or maybe logout and back in [22:36] you can do some of that with a fancy mailto: link [22:36] Any would be best, but Thunderbird for sure... [22:36] mailto:toaddress@whatever.com?subject=whatever?body=whatever [22:36] somethign along those lines [22:36] er [22:36] anyone have an audio converter to speak of? [22:36] maybe it's [22:36] mailto:toaddress@whatever.com?subject=whatever&body=whatever [22:37] yeah the second one [22:38] if it lets you make a desktop icon that is a link to a URL, try that mailto: line [22:38] Guys, good stuff, GetDeb Founder João Pinto Interviewed => http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=&hl=pt-PT&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pplware.com%2F2009%2F01%2F12%2Fentrevista-a-joao-pinto-getdeb%2F&sl=pt&tl=en [22:38] holaa alguien me puede ayudar acabo de instalar xubuntu alternative en una pc vieja y no se como colocar los iconos en el escritorio [22:38] anyone have an audio converter to speak of ? [22:38] Peteed: use gimp on a snapshot timer, give it 10 seconds or whatever, minimize gimp and right click, wait for the snapshot. [22:39] I'm toying with the notion of leaving this laptop on 24/7 (for certain reasons). However I'm worried this might use a lot of power, are there any tools I can get to monitor how much power it uses and then I can estimate how much it would cost to keep it up all day. Also, do you think that might shorten the life of this old laptop? [22:39] is anyone familiar with tuxguitar? [22:39] i have a problem [22:39] doh, nevermind: soundconverter [22:39] gnutron, lol thanks I found "Take screen shot" with a trimmer in Application => Accesorrys thanks ^_^ [22:39] Perillux: http://www.p3international.com/products/special/P4400/P4400-CE.html [22:40] i need the deb packeg for hardy of window-picker-applet [22:41] perillux: watts divided by volts equals amperes, read the specs on the laptop power supply. they dont use much power. [22:41] I'm a newby to Linux and trying to install themes fot gtk2.x on ubuntu 8.10, but it keeps on telling me a GTK+ engine needed is not installed. Which package should I install to get this GTK+ engine needed ?? [22:41] hi [22:41] ! pastebin [22:41] 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) [22:42] gnutron: but found a script that allows me to turn off my laptop monitor. REALLY turn it off, including backlight, so that should cut down power consumption significantly [22:42] Gamboa, possibly the GTK+ package/engine would appear in a search through Synaptic ? [22:42] perillux: turning off the monitor would half your consumption easily [22:43] !info [22:43] Retrieve information on a package: !info [22:44] ive installed all GTK-engines - [22:44] Does anyone here know which IRC server this is? [22:44] perillux: half = 1/2 btw [22:44] VideoSmith: freenode.net [22:44] VideoSmith: join #freenode [22:44] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [22:44] ikonia and dennda: thanks m8es :) [22:45] Why does ubuntu + kde use so much ram? Debian used less than 1/3 of what ubuntu uses. [22:46] because it has 200 daemons that you will never use running by default? [22:46] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:46] energY: thats kind of a subjective assertion, depends on what exactly is running [22:47] gnutron: Only the basic install with kde. [22:47] energY: because of blingware [22:47] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:47] energY: alot of stuff starts that you don't need. even with basic installation. [22:48] energY: debian tends to not run things without it being told to do so. imo [22:48] how can I strip it down to a sensible ram usage? [22:48] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:48] !virtualbox [22:48] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [22:48] Unbuntu uses more ram... [22:49] energY: you could be right. [22:49] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:49] energY: bells and whistles maybe.. [22:49] energY: If you want to run lean, don't run any desktop manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, etc.). Use X and a decent window manager [22:49] my scanner is not supported by xsane but the manufacturer supplies a debian driver. is it still possible to configure my scanner somehow? [22:49] !ebox > Rabbitbunny [22:49] Rabbitbunny, please see my private message [22:50] What does the error "Failed to bind socket: Address already in use" mean? [22:50] energY: This may not be worth the effort in ubuntu due to the "all-in" approach to packaging [22:50] AJC_Z0: TWM? [22:50] PengytheDuckwin: exactly as the error message states Address already in use [22:50] PengytheDuckwin -> already in use [22:50] PengytheDuckwin: There was an error binding to the socket. The address is already in use. [22:51] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:51] PengytheDuckwin: You are most likely already running one of the thing you are trying to start. Try "lsof -i :1234" where 1234 is the port on which the process listens [22:51] energY: TWM is light by modern standards, but not modern. There are many good choices. I use blackbox [22:51] <[c0ma]> put the live cd in your microwave for 30 seconds then try to boot it... [22:51] ok, Ill try that, thanks [22:52] thanks for nothing [22:52] <[c0ma]> yw [22:52] MythbuntuGuest67: You're welcome. Come again [22:53] exit [22:53] now please my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:53] I should upgrade to 8.10, rigth? [22:53] <[c0ma]> what error code are you getting? [22:54] Take care MythbuntuGuest67 [22:54] no code just wont even start [22:54] AJC_Z0: I get remotepad 3283 roger 4u IPv4 1276203 TCP *:5583 (LISTEN) from the command [22:54] hey all.. i have 2 mics.. how can i either merge both mics to the same dsnoop or have seperate dsnoops per mic? [22:54] I take it SOMETHING is using the port but I don't know what [22:54] <[c0ma]> well did you set your computer to boot from cd drive? [22:54] energY: You should do what's most appropriate for your system(s) given Ubuntu's release and support cycle [22:54] yes i did [22:55] PengytheDuckwin: You'll need to stop that one before you can start a new one [22:55] AJC_Z0: I am using it as a torrent box, and my sister will play desktop games on it. It has 377mb ram, and a 600mhz duron. Would I be likley to get more problems in 8.10 than in 8.04? [22:56] AJC_Z0: I don't know what something is though, but do I do "kill pid" or something? [22:57] PengytheDuckwin: looks lke kill 3283 should kill it [22:57] energY: I have no idea, however for any platform on which you want to run up-to-date applications, you want to treat the OS as another application to keep updated [22:57] ok thanks [22:57] energY: easiest method is to switch to something lighter [22:57] energY: like xubuntu [22:57] fogobogo: xubuntu looks like gnome? [22:57] energY: pretty much. [22:57] PengytheDuckwin: Kill that process or "pkill remotepad" should kill it, but that's not usually the right way to stop and start programs === kupesoft_ is now known as kupesoft [22:58] my live cd wont start to boot any typs [22:58] energY: it uses most gnome stuff and you can set the themes and all that it will almost exactely look like ubuntu [22:58] MythbuntuGuest67: Is your Live-cd readable at another computer? [22:58] yes [22:58] fogobogo: Doesn't xubuntu just use XFCE - a lighter DM, but a DM nonetheless? [22:59] MythbuntuGuest67: Does it boot at that other computer or is it just readable? [22:59] AJC_Z0: yes. but it also runs a lot less services and fancy stuff [22:59] fogobogo: Okey-doeky. Thanks [22:59] I'm having issues with VirtualBox (closed-source) when it comes to USB + Shared folder. Any suggestion why? [22:59] what is the PPC ubuntu channel? [22:59] Percy_: #ubuntu-ppc [23:00] thanks [23:00] This guest acount in 8.10 sounds cool. Does all the settings get reverted back when the user logs off? [23:00] * AJC_Z0 runs light on his home systems and has almost every compiz effect turned on on his Ubuntu system [23:01] * VideoSmith finds ALC_Z0 quite an amusing die-hard that might be on to something. [23:01] lol [23:02] That settles it [23:02] chicco [23:02] Tomorrow I will install xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop [23:02] Probably delete the kubuntu... [23:02] VideoSmith: I'm an old unix admin who is frustrated by how easy Ubuntu is, so keeps trying to make it do newer and better tricks in the hope it'll break [23:03] AJC_Z0: Interesting. I am kinda dumb computerwise so I like Ubuntu. :P [23:03] Yesterday I rebuilt this box with full disk encryption, but everything still works fine :/ [23:04] AJC_Z0: tried arch? [23:04] Some might say Linux if for folks who are scared of unix and Ubuntu is for folks who are scared of Linux [23:04] ALC_Z0: So you're saying it is easy but works great and is quite a capable system. [23:04] fogobogo: What's that? [23:04] i'm scared of everything [23:04] Hello room :) [23:04] AJC_Z0: archlinux [23:04] AJC_Z0: another distro [23:05] (apart from the command to return uname -i) [23:05] <[c0ma]> ubuntu is linux though... [23:05] First timer here, need assistance :) [23:05] could anyone please help [23:05] fogobogo: No, I don't enough time of systems to play with many platforms [23:05] Hi there [23:05] helpme! | ali87 [23:06] should i type that to get help? [23:06] AJC_Z0: its pretty nice.

[23:06] !helpme | ali87 [23:06] ali87: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[23:09] jack_sparrow: computer A has Nvidia video and network, computer b has intel integrated video and broadcom [23:10] the_l_guy: hotmail pop is paid for [23:10] They promised it would be free be November [23:10] who are you ? [23:10] I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has built in support for the computer, it's a Dell OptiPlex 330 [23:10] Brack10, So a little tweaking and you should be fine.. you can dl the addl drivers and things you need before you make the drive image [23:10] <[c0ma]> uggh i dont use gnome so idk how to open the terminal [23:10] the_l_guy: still look paid for to me, [23:10] I just need assistance in how, where to type that solution, and keeping in mind, the laptop has no internet connectivity at all right now, and I see that one the codes says to download it using wget.. (how would i download it from the laptop if it doesnt have internet!) [23:10] What about DeltaSync support? [23:10] ok [23:10] the_l_guy: no idea what that is [23:11] it took me hours and hours to customize it the way I want, I would be devistated if I had to do it again [23:11] Brack10, Those broadcom's are still a pesky little bugger [23:11] Hotmail's alternative to POP [23:11] Jack_Sparrow: I heard they reverse engineered one of the major wireless broadcom firmwares [23:11] :) [23:11] epictetus: OK, all I get when I create a URL file with the "mailto:" stuff in it is a download request from Firefox...it does not execute the email program...any ideas? Is there a URL or MAILTO or other file template that would work? text/x-uri or text/x-uri-mailto... and if so, where can I get such a file template?

(how would i download it from the laptop if it doesnt have internet!) [23:16] But it would work better. Wires FTW Jack_Sparrow!

Iwconfig shows my interface, and dhcp acquired an address earlier, but now I can't ping my router (though I could earlier). I also have errors repeating in kern.log.

I left the updater to do its thing, and when I returned to my computer I was looking at a black screen. mouse+keyboard wouldn't bring it back to life, had to hard reboot (I know). upon reboot (and after a disk check) ubuntu detected 175 updates (so I suppose it did manage to grab someone of [23:28] ikonia: what is a fake raid? [23:28] LinuxLover4: windows driver based raid [23:28] oh [23:28] LinuxLover4: raid from the bios as explained [23:28] : dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [23:28] ikonia: im pretty sure it is an actual raid card [23:28] LinuxLover4: yeah, just what i explained above [23:28] Noah1989: exactly what you said, yes [23:28] slade, so run that [23:28] I tried plugging that into a command line, but its telling me I need superuser rights [23:28] LinuxLover4: I don't think it is as I can't find any info [23:28] yes I tried [23:29] slade_: prepend sudo to the command [23:29] kitche, woot that worked thanks! [23:29] slade, type 'sudo' before it without the quotes, and put a space in there [23:29] then type in yout password [23:29] ikonia, mplayer works [23:29] djbeenie: excellent [23:29] oh... I have a raid question. I want to do a raid 1+0, I can later add more drives to it as long as I add 2 more of the same type... right? [23:29] thanks very much, I'll try that! [23:29] ikonia: Noah1989 if you notice in the error http://pastie.org/359152 it drops to a shell, i then exit, and everything boots fine, can i just leave it then?? [23:29] does anyone know what a devgid is? [23:29] LinuxLover4: it doesn't boot [23:29] LinuxLover4: it drops to busybox [23:30] ikonia: after droping to busybox, i then type in the command exit, and it continues to boot normally [23:30] as if nothign happened [23:30] LinuxLover4: I can't see how thats possible if this is your root file system [23:30] ikonia: it is my home parition [23:30] could the latest ubuntu install on my pentium pro 200Mhz machine? [23:30] my root is on a 40gb hd [23:30] LinuxLover4: ooh, well that make sense === dimitar is now known as dimitars [23:30] LinuxLover4: you won't be able to access your home dir [23:30] ikonia: the home partitions are fine as well tho after boot [23:31] LinuxLover4: oh wait.. i just realize.. this is #ubuntu, not #gentoo - >_> - i never tried raid on ubuntu [23:31] is anyone familiar with soundconverter? I'm trying to add a Flac file to it, and it won't even recognize it or add it to the list... I'm trying to convert it to mp3 [23:31] LinuxLover4: I doubt they are, your probably not mounting /home outside otf the partition === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:32] ?? [23:32] whats the difference between gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ugly-dbg? [23:32] CaptainMorgan: that should work like a charm. Does for me, at least. I've ripped quite a few cds to flac lately and converted them with soundconverter to both ogg and mp3 [23:32] I'm seeing these errors in kern.log: phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x0[67] failed for offset 0x04.. With error -110 and usb_rf_write: Error - PHY_CSR10 register busy. Write failed. [23:32] CaptainMorgan: have you tried with different flac files? Is the flac file playable from your music player? [23:32] crabgrass: If you have to ask, you do not want -dgb [23:32] filthpig, when you choose to 'add file' and navigate to the flac file, it then appears in the list, correct? [23:33] tekteen_: thats a good enough answer for me. [23:33] filthpig, no, it's not playable, that's why I'm trying to convert it :) [23:33] tekteen_: thanks [23:33] Amarok [23:33] oh, debug. derp. i should have seen that [23:33] CaptainMorgan: I mean from rhythmbox or totem or whatever [23:33] ikonia: http://pastie.org/359165 it is mounted [23:33] is there any support for the g15 keyboard? [23:34] has anyone tried to compile Grub legacy under Ubuntu? [23:34] filthpig, yep, tried totem.. lemme try rhytmbox.. [23:34] Eliteslave: yes. search for it in synaptic and you'll find the tools you need :) [23:34] My C++ professor gave me a phonebook-sized manual for an early 90s Unix clone called Coherent. How much of it is relevant for modern Linux? [23:34] tekteen_: thank you, the console is definitely doing... something. [23:34] nope filthpig rythmbox won't play it either... [23:34] :) [23:35] CaptainMorgan: then it's very possible the file is corrupted. Both totem and rhythmbox should play the file just like that [23:35] ikonia: perhaps the system isnt allowing enough time for the raid device to initialize, but afterwards everythign is fine?? [23:35] filthpig: any idea what it would be listed under? [23:35] ConstantineXVI: all POSIX related stuff [23:35] jack_sparrow ok... one more, nv drivers should support my card and as far as I understand just no 3D acceleration? [23:35] filthpig, both apps can play flac natively? [23:35] ConstantineXVI: except what changen in the last 18 years [23:35] had a video I was trying to watch freeze on me. Pressed Ctrl-Alt-Bksp to reboot X and when I got back in my audio doesn't work. I tried rebooting X again, still didn't work. In place of the start up audio sound I hear static. I have tried rebooting and no luck. [23:35] or do I need a codec? [23:35] Ok, got it partially working...Create Launcher -> Location -> mailto: etc... however, it just puts in ///email@address.com ------- is there a way to create a Launcher that is a LINK not a LOCATION? (I am in 8.10) [23:35] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [23:36] I have made sure it's not my speakers as I have tried plugging in headphones in place of my speakers, I still get nothing. [23:36] CaptainMorgan: yes [23:36] I got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 on Friday, the bluetooth mouse I got with it was working the very first day, the next day it didn't work. I explored all user-friendly interface trying to get it to work when eventually I accidentally clicked Remove Trust. In my own ability this seems irreversible. I am simply trying to fix it so that I can use my bluetooth mouse. I am also a first time Linux user so bear with me... please help [23:36] CaptainMorgan: support for flac is built-in in all modern (open source) media players [23:36] k, thank you filthpig [23:37] Anyone have any troubleshooting steps to get my audio reset and working again? [23:37] Kenneth - System > Preferences > Bluetooth [23:37] CaptainMorgan: np. [23:37] Hi. Does anyone knows what can cause U8.10 not run on the same machine (PII, internal intel gfx, 768MB RAM) that 8.04 worked fine? Actually it works, and gets to log-in screen, but after logging in, it hangs up — mouse pointer still shows and moves around but nothing else. [23:37] !sound > LightTitan me [23:37] LightTitan, please see my private message [23:38] !clone > Brack10 [23:38] Brack10, please see my private message [23:38] Thanks tekteen, trying that now [23:38] so, has anybody had ubuntu revert to a totally black screen with no responses from the mouse or keyboard? [23:38] gatien: do you know how i can find the name of my wireless card? [23:38] Noah1989, so stuff like bourne shell, sed, awk, lex, would still be good? [23:38] is it some kind of default hibernation/suspend feature? [23:39] tekteen... your a genius :) Thanks alot! [23:39] np [23:40] I need to create a LINK on my desktop, not an Application or a Location, or an Application in Terminal...but a Link...how to do this when Create Launcher does not have this in the Drop Down? [23:40] firefox problem: all of my customizations regarding the menu bar are lost each time i shut it down [23:40] can ubuntu work on a 200Mhz machine? [23:40] with 32mb of ram [23:40] slade_, on some machines hibernate/stand by seems not to work properly [23:40] dn4, yes. but i would not suggest it. [23:40] dn4: not with gnome [23:40] dn4, I would not try to run X on that [23:41] X is kinda nessary :( [23:41] then I would say it would run [23:41] lol [23:41] Grenyaris: drag'n'drop the tab from fx to the desktop [23:41] slade_: I haven’t read anything definite, but some bits and pieces to that effect. [23:41] dn4, not really [23:41] dn4, you would really want to use some other light desktop, or console only.. Or try a Uber-light disrto like Puppy Linux, DSL, Feather Linux, or TinyCore Linyx [23:41] Cadman21: sudo iwconfig [23:41] heh, that was my next question, but thanks anyway [23:41] well I was going to use wine to run ultimate online [23:41] dn4, you can make it a router, a dhcp/dns server, a proxy server... [23:41] hmm, key repeating isn't working right (as in at all) for me. where does one set that? [23:41] this system is unfortunately Dell based, so I imagine that could be the problem [23:42] Anyone knows what could be the issue for Ubuntu 8.10 to hang up after log-in prompt? [23:42] dn4, not gonna happen [23:42] oh, found it [23:42] crabgrass: while I don't have all the details, here is a place to start... in your home/user directory there should be a .mozilla or .firefox directory, this should contain all your local and personal settings... [23:42] roe: I just need to log into the game and that is it [23:42] hmm...but it still doesn't work with arrow keys [23:42] theUg, often thats due to video card/drivers. Tell the chaannel your video card/system specs. [23:42] Grenyaris: alright... [23:42] theUg: smells like a gfx driver issue. Did it work with Ubuntu 8.04? Have you tried googling your gfx card and ubuntu? [23:42] dn4, if you want to try it, install xfce, but I wouldn't hold my breath [23:43] roe: not even that would work [23:43] dn4, or try one of the very light ubuntu spinoffs like fluxbuntu, or crunchbang. [23:43] Also, is there a Linux C++ IDE that spits out Visual Studio solution files? [23:43] Do any of them come with wine?! [23:43] dn4, 64mb ram will be the big limitation [23:43] I'm trying to print from Microsoft Word using Cups-PDF, however, I get no PDF output. No job seems to be passed to the cups printer at all. [23:43] Dr_willis there is only 32mb of ram :( [23:43] dn4, what specs do ultimate online require? [23:44] dn4, you can easially install wine. but I would try to track down some more ram. 32mb = even worse.. :) [23:44] Sorry, forgot to mention I was using CrossOver [23:44] dn4: you'll need to add some ram to run anything worthwile graphically [23:44] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/286285 when will this bug be fixed finally? [23:44] is there a hdtvxvid codec for ubuntu 8.04? [23:44] dr_willis: filthpig: it’s internal Intel on Dell, no specs yet. It worked fine with 8.04. Now X.org starts (I get login screen), but hangs after. [23:44] hai [23:44] Crooper: most come with xvid codec [23:45] not good [23:45] ok... thnx [23:45] bad [23:45] Crooper: use vlc to play it? [23:45] theUg: Compiz or metacity? [23:46] it won't play it either [23:46] c_korn: well since it's in blueprints probably next version [23:46] ok [23:46] i know it's not realy a ubuntu question, but can i somehow add contact filter in aMSN(Like in windows live messenger) so when i type some words, it would filter the contacts i have and will only show the contacts that have that word in them? [23:46] that is odd [23:46] filthpig: Not sure what are you talking about. [23:47] dn4: ebay is a great place to get old ram on the cheap... [23:47] Hello? Anybody there? [23:47] ive seen examples on how to add something to the default runlevel with rc-update, but how do i stop it from starting at boot? [23:47] LensGecko, 1359 People here. [23:47] kitche: it produces full cpu usage and a full root partition and is not fixed for MONTHS although there is a patch for it [23:47] Is there a way other than editing /etc/fstab to mount a removable drive always to the same path? [23:48] c_korn: umm that bug was just reported on the 6th [23:48] theUg: The window manager you're using is either Metacity (the default GNOME window manager), or Compiz (Fusion), which is widely popular due to the "desktop bling" it provides. Ubuntu uses comiiz by default these days [23:48] sooth, is that not good? [23:48] sooth, from gnome file manager. right click on the devices icon. properties.. theres some setting tabs in there - that let you tweak some stuff. [23:48] c_korn: ah on 2005 hmm I don't notice full cpu though [23:48] sooth, most all i have - do alays go to the same path. [23:48] hello [23:48] hi [23:49] Hi people. [23:49] what is Xserver? [23:49] hi [23:49] c_korn: also it says fix released [23:49] I'm trying to get my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working on intrepid [23:49] roe: I don't want to dig up the default mount options for removable media [23:49] help meh [23:49] meh [23:49] filthpig: I wiped my 8.04 clean (had it installed through wubi), and installed 8.10 fresh on partition with CD. Live CD, btw, does same thing. [23:50] kitche: but not in ubuntu. only fedora [23:50] Eliteslave: the part of the operating system that gives you a nice GUI [23:50] Dr_willis_: When I plug-in my 4 partition removable HD everything gets assigned to "disk" and "disk-{1,2,3}" [23:50] Would anyone be able to tell me how one could rip the audio from a flash video taken from the tmp folder? [23:50] sooth, and the filesystem of the partitions are? [23:50] c_korn: ymm then why does launchpad say patch released then since fedora uses their own bug system [23:50] well, that's actually Gnome or KDE, but they depend on X to work [23:50] filthpig: at 8.04 it worked with all the bling, but I turned it all off, cause it was a bit slow. So I ran on basic default one without much effects. [23:51] Hi. I wanted to try mingw32 on linux, so I downloaded an Ubuntu cd and booted from it, but when I try "sudo apt-get install mingw32", I get "Couldn't find package mingw32". How do I make it find it? [23:51] Dr_willis_: ext3 [23:51] lol... it was the damn screensaver that locked the machine up. obviously, the silliest thing... *disabled* [23:51] Dr_willis_: Those gnome preferences are pretty much what I want [23:51] sooth, set a Volume Label on each partition - and i think they will get mounted to "LabelName" [23:51] filthpig: 7.04 and xubuntu 7.04 both work (I tried my old live CDs) [23:51] para, mingw32, as in the compiler? [23:51] ConstantineXVI: yep [23:51] sooth, i use the tune2fs command to always set a FilesystemLabel. [23:52] Can someone help me install Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.10? I get errors. [23:52] para, that's just GCC in linux, and you get that via build-essential, which i think is stock [23:52] Dr_willis_: How do I check the current label? [23:52] term_: Why do you want to? Installing tor + torbutton does pretty much everything. [23:52] theUg: I'd try googling your gfx card and see if there are any issues/solutions reported. the ubuntu forums are bulging with info on that kind of stuff, although it might take some time to find the info you need. Have you tried changing to failsafe mode before logging in? [23:52] ConstantineXVI: mmm I understood the mingw32 lets you build windows binaries, which the normal gcc doesn't [23:52] sooth: I want a GUI. [23:52] sooth, tune2fs command again command :) [23:53] para, ah [23:53] term: there is a GUI in the vidalia package is there not? [23:53] sooth, if the Label is blank it uses 'disk' by default. [23:53] hi, I'm changing my ip address like this "ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' then 'route add default gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' it works, but when I restart the computer these change are lost, how can I make them permanent? [23:53] noobuntu93: Yes but i get errors [23:53] Dr_willis_: Any particular option I need to give it? tune2fs /dev/sdb2 doesn't work [23:53] term: errors for what in particular? [23:53] oh, you're still on the livecd. you'll have to install to get to it [23:54] If anyone here has experience using CentOS and Ubuntu in a web server environment, can you explain the main differences and/or benefits of using Ubuntu over CentOS, if any? [23:54] sooth, read the man pages and --help output.. Yes. you DO need to give it extra options [23:54] noobuntu93: "make: *** [all] Error 2" [23:54] when do you get that error? [23:54] sooth, that command can set a LOT of 'tweaks/settings' in a disk. and many of them will not get applied/seen till a reboot/remount of the filesystem [23:54] when i write "cmake . && make" in terminal, noobuntu93. [23:54] para, my last one was for you [23:54] para: i think mingw is in the universe repo, known as mingw32 [23:55] filthpig: recovery mode or whatnot I tried, but it doesn’t show where it hangs up. [23:55] ConstantineXVI: I could install things on the ramdisk or on some partition that the livecd can mount, maybe [23:55] para, you'll at least need to apt-get update first [23:55] flaco -> put them in /etc/network/interfaces file, man interfaces [23:55] Dr_willis_: Thanks, "-l" seems to list filesystem info but doesn't have volume label, I guess because there is none. [23:56] noobuntu93: can you help? [23:56] filthpig: weird thing is that X starts and works, only after I actually log in it hangs. Should I try CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE or just go in text mode or something? [23:56] term: i'm looking it up right now but not finding anything [23:56] mcphail: sorry I've never used ubuntu before, and don't know about repos and stuff. One guide said I could find it by default in the Synaptic Package Manager, but it's not there. I guess the live cd is different [23:56] sooth, logical eh? :) You may want to tune the reserved block space/size also. its 5% by default and that can take up a lot of space for no reason [23:56] ConstantineXVI: why? doesn't that try to update the whole system or something? [23:56] Dr_willis_: Thanks for the tip. [23:57] filthpig: Oh, I see where failsafe is [23:57] ah, it updates the list. let's see... [23:58] kitche: it is definitely not fixed in ubuntu. I was just looking for an explanation why a bug that produces full cpu usage and root partition when an INTEL wireless card is uses does not get fixed for MONTHS. it really annoys me. but maybe this is the wrong place to ask. the ubuntu-devel list may be more appropriate. thanks [23:58] sooth, also if for some reason the drice does not get unmounted properly. next reboot it might get mounted to /media/Label_ and if that doesnt get unmounted right next time it may be /media/Label__ with 2 _ :) fix is to unmount and remove the /media/ dirs that are getting auto made. the _ is used to as a failsafe name collision feature [23:58] noobuntu93: i downloaded source on http://vidalia-project.net/download.php [23:58] So, is it my understanding that there is no advantage to running Ubuntu over CentOS? [23:58] n8tuser2, thks [23:58] sooth, you can also set up the fstab to mount filessytems based on label Instead of UUID :) [23:58] okay it just redownloaded intrepid lists but still can't find mingw32 [23:59] JamesMowery, Use what you perfer. thats what it all boils down to. [23:59] Dr_willis_: Yeah that's what my original plan was. This seems nicer though. [23:59] theUg: hmm, so it also crashes in failsafe mode? I guess you can start a very minimal mode (I think it's called X session or something like that) that basically gives you a terminal. From there you should be able to switch default WM from compiz to metacity, but I'm on really thin ice here and I do not know the exact (correct) way of doing this. You could always check with the guys over at #compiz-fusion too, some of those guys are gods when i [23:59] JamesMowery: No one can tell you what's best for you, only you can decide that. [23:59] Dr_willis_: Am I supposed to be able to see the changes after a remount? [23:59] JamesMowery, i will stick with Ubuntu, since i know it better. [23:59] para, go into software sources and make sure universe is enabled [23:59] sooth, i always reboot after doing the tune2fs stuff.. just to be extra safe [23:59] sooth, i think some of the tuneing changes only get seen at boot time
