[00:00] Can someone help me install Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.10? [00:00] Dr_willis_: Well, volume label should be on the disk and it is removable, so .... [00:00] hi all [00:01] filthpig: I’ll try failsafe and google switch too in a bit. [00:01] sooth, i always set Lables on all Internal disks also. :) [00:01] term_: Did you try, http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/setup-vidalia-tor-gui-with-ubuntu-and.html [00:01] i have one problem : Qt and compiz [00:01] term_: Or any of the results for "vidalia ubuntu" on google? [00:01] sooth, ' shoul' [00:01] ConstantineXVI: thanks, it wasn't. now that it is, apt-get recognises mingw32 fine. Thanks for the help! [00:02] sooth, ' should' is the imporatnat bit. :) [00:02] important even? [00:02] theUg: okay, good luck :) I'm off to bed, g'nite all! === Dr_willis_ is now known as Dr_Willis [00:02] hello [00:02] my nic hasn't worked since I upgraded to intrepid [00:02] Skype and Lyx and more applications "qt2 don't work properly on compiz... [00:02] it's 3945abg from intel [00:02] filthpig: thanks man [00:02] very common wireless driver which used to work [00:03] I need this. I've been hammering on this problem for an hour and a half. I'm on aderol and I'm not a newbie. Why can't I install this friggin driver? [00:03] Qualche italiano?? [00:03] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [00:03] !it [00:03] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:04] balzac, could be some upgrade bug/quirk. this is why i normally always do clean installs. [00:04] balzac: google == friend :) [00:04] always doing clean installs is for windows users. [00:04] balzac, check that you are using the latest kernel? try latest update/upgrades, check forums for others with similer issue? [00:04] filthpig: I've been all over google [00:05] what is lacking is a definitive answer among the 10 or more google search results I clicked [00:05] GtkFileChooser opens very slowly for me [00:05] I tried this and that [00:05] can anyone help me work out why? I want to use strace to work out where the delays are but I don't really know how... [00:05] ndiswrapper, b43cutter, linux-firmware [00:05] balzac -> care to tell us what you have done so far in terms of loading the driver or checking if it is loaded? [00:05] strace -e open zenity --file-selection gives me much more than I can handle [00:05] It's just asinine - that what the problem is [00:06] n8tuser2: well, I'm not a newb but I'm not very skilled yet either [00:06] modprobe? [00:07] i'm having trouble using tor in Ibex... i've installed privoxy and tor, and i've followed all the tutorials i can find, but no luck. can anyone help me figure this out? [00:07] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [00:07] balzac -> i did not ask for your newbieness, what did you do to verify it is loaded or loading the driver? [00:07] how? [00:07] hey, can someone help me with firefox? it is all tarded [00:07] athan, how tarded? [00:07] soot: that guide didnt work, i still get errors [00:07] firefox won't update the url, and it has no history [00:07] n8tuser2: I was waiting for gnome to show me my network manager icon when I got it right [00:08] sooth* [00:08] really tarded lol [00:08] jmd9qs: did you start tor already? (sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart) also, try the FoxyProxy ff extension... you actually don't realy need privoxy, unless you want it... [00:08] athan: what do you mean update the url? [00:08] tesstring [00:08] balzac -> do you wish to answer my questions or you are off to something else? [00:08] jmd9qs: here's the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464 [00:08] when i put "google" in the address bar, it stays to "google" not "http://www.google.com". [00:08] I have an external eSATA harddrive with a JMicron SATA controller. I am still using 8.04 but from looking at forums, this bug seems to be fixed on 8.10. Is there a way to fix this problem without a complete upgrade to 8.10? [00:09] Odd-rationale: i've got switchproxy now... i have started tor, but i'll try the restart and see what it says [00:09] n8tuser2: I don't know specifically how to check if a given driver is loaded. NDISwrapper is obvious with the GUI. [00:09] Can someone help me install Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.10? I get make[2]: *** [src/util/CMakeFiles/util.dir/crypto.o] Error 1 [00:09] athan: on my computer it googles for "google".. I think it's something you can configure in about::config or whatever it's called [00:09] jmd9qs: what are you pointing the proxy too? [00:09] otherwise, I don't know how to tell if a specific is loaded. [00:09] balzac -> well you did say you read plenty of materials, so any of those at all you understood on how to check if driver is loaded? [00:10] the proxy is pointed to 127.0.0.1 port 8118 [00:10] or you are just bluffing? [00:10] n8tuser2: please just tell me the command [00:10] balzac: I am not 100% sure, but I believe modprobe -l lists loaded modules [00:10] term_: I've never installed vidalia before so I probably can't help you. If you want someone to help you I suggest stating exactly what errors you are getting. You need to provide more context of the error message (i.e. the preceding lines) [not in the channel, use a pastebin] [00:10] hmm, i might just have to re-install ubuntu 8.10, cuz firefox worked before [00:10] jmd9qs: ok. so make sure privoxy is running too, then (sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart) and did you enable forwardin for prixoxy to tor? [00:10] balzac -> i would not be telling you the exact command, but I will give you hints, man moprobe, man lsmod [00:11] athan: that sounds a bit overkill [00:11] athan: it's not a problem with ubuntu. you can find the option in about:config [00:11] n8tuser2: I did use modprobe and didn't find my driver [00:11] term_: What features of the GUI do you need? [00:11] thanks [00:11] I'll try those [00:11] balzac -> what was your exact command? [00:11] yeah, i have a fresh install tho [00:11] modprobe drivername [00:12] athan: check the browser.urlbar section [00:12] so its not that important [00:12] I've just been taking things I see online and trying them [00:12] kk, 1 sec [00:12] Odd-rationale: i've restarted privoxy... last night i changed the privoxyrc file, but i dont' know if i enabled forwardin or not. how can i check? [00:12] term_: You can also try #vidalia on irc.oftc.net [00:12] balzac -> its a good time you hit the manual pages, man modprobe and man lsmod [00:12] ok [00:12] Ok, I will [00:12] jmd9qs: pastebin your privoxy config file.. i think it is in /etc/privoxy/config or somthing... [00:13] am away for now [00:14] ok... sorry, irc noob: how do i pastebin? i'm using xchat in gnome [00:14] oh, how do i update the about:config ? [00:14] !pastebin | jmd9qs [00:14] jmd9qs: 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) [00:14] does anyone have any experience with old jaton or trident video cards? [00:15] how can I get cp to skip files that already exist in a directory? [00:15] neeto: have you checked the man page? I think there's a switch [00:15] I think the bottom line is that I've got crappy hardware [00:15] neeto: i think there is the -u switch... check the manpage [00:15] Can anyone help out with printing from Microsoft Office (through CrossOver) using cups-pdf? [00:15] Slart: checked, but I didn't see one [00:15] nope, still tarded [00:15] OH@ [00:15] how do i install ogre? [00:16] f*ck intel for being microsoft's whore [00:16] miserable bastids [00:16] Slart: ah yeah, you're right... it's worded differently than I had expected it to be. [00:16] cuz when i tried to do it from source, i had so many dependencies, i freaked [00:16] neeto: you could try -u [00:16] Odd-rationale: pastebin url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/104166/ [00:16] Getdeb Founder interviewed Topic => http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038224 [00:16] balzac, wth r u talking about [00:16] neeto: it will still overwrite if the filer you're copying is newer.. [00:16] even after i got all of them, it still wouldn't make correctly, it just gave me errors [00:16] ldiamond: intel and their stupid wireless drivers [00:17] and all the redundant efforts for wireless compatibility [00:17] balzac, this is not specific to intel. [00:17] jmd9qs: do you remember what line you changed? [00:17] it sucks [00:17] balzac, My intel 4965AGN works fine here... (havent tried packet injection yet tho) [00:17] I know, but intel should have more pride than to prop up microsoft and their technically inferior software monopoly [00:17] yeah, well my 3954abg sucks [00:17] Odd-rationale, hang on i'll find out. i did it based on tor's setup page [00:17] what would cause a module (b43, as in "modprobe b43") to not exist after installing b43-fwcutter via the latest official deb? [00:18] I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size? [00:18] sooth: Here is my pastebin file http://pastebin.com/d2c63915e [00:18] jmd9qs: oh wait. nvm... you just added a lin on the top... [00:18] it's a bunch of crap. [00:18] balzac, this has nothing to do with microsoft... intel just dont develop drivers for linux... because linux is not a big enough share for them... [00:18] neeto: if you want more options when moving files you can often use rsync instead of cp/mv.. [00:18] balzac, its just intel's fault [00:19] microsoft subsidizes hardware manufacturers to remain incompatibility [00:19] Odd-rationale, that's not all though... i know i had to disable a few lines as well [00:19] Slart: I've never used rsync... I am backing up my music from one harddrive to another, you think it would work a lot better in this situation? [00:19] Can anyone help me use strace to debug slowness of GtkFileChooser [00:19] ? [00:19] jmd9qs: well, it looks right... although, i would just delete that line you added at the top, and un comment line 1162 # forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . [00:19] how can I install ubuntu in textmode? it seems that it doesn't like my grapics card... no problem because its going to run as a server anyway but how do I get to textmode? [00:19] anyway, I've tried for a long while and I'm pissed [00:20] Can anyone help out with printing from Microsoft Office (through CrossOver) using cups-pdf? [00:20] bonsoir un truc de bizarre viens de m'arriver avec amsn !! [00:20] mikevankuik: you have to use the alternative disc [00:20] !alterntive | mikevankuik [00:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about alterntive [00:20] whoops [00:20] !alternative | mikevankuik [00:20] mikevanuik: use the alt or server disc [00:20] mikevankuik: 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. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:20] neeto: it wont be faster or anything.. but rsync has some extra bling bling.. progress bars and such.. and I think it can copy only if the destination doesn't exist like you were asking for [00:20] !fr | toka [00:20] toka: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:20] Odd-rationale: k cool tx [00:20] mikevankuik: another 600mb to download... :P [00:21] Slart: sweet, progress bars are awesome. [00:21] boobs are fun [00:21] Odd-rationale: that's no prob :) I've got highspeed internet :D [00:21] Odd-rationale, ok i did that... let me check and see if its working [00:21] jmd9qs: restart privoxy though... [00:21] term_: Can you paste the output of 'ls -ld ~/vidalia-0.1.1' please [00:21] neeto: I can't really say I know rsyncs syntax by heart..but I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to use it [00:21] Odd-rationale: is there a 64bit version of that ? [00:21] !o4o | theUg [00:21] mikevankuik: yes === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [00:21] theUg: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which often turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [00:21] Odd-rationale, will do [00:21] Slart: naw it looks fine, I can figure it out. [00:21] * aprilhare used rsync a while back successfully\ [00:21] jmd9qs: the next thing i would just is did you set you proxy to use socks5 ? [00:22] Odd-rationale: you woudn't have the link to that too would ya? :D [00:22] been ages since i've needed it though [00:22] neeto: there is a gui for rsync called grsync [00:22] why do you need rsync? [00:22] mrwes: sweet, thanks. [00:22] there is always http or ftp resume [00:22] mikevankuik: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [00:22] aprilhare: rsync is a fancier version of cp [00:23] neeto, i remember - over a network [00:23] aprilhare: http/ftp resume can break iso's [00:23] Gnea, a bad implementation, maybe [00:23] when implemented correctly never breaks isos [00:23] aprilhare: rsync works nicely for local stuff too.. [00:23] aprilhare: wget, curl... it happens [00:23] sooth: drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2009-01-13 01:07 /home/term/vidalia-0.1.1 [00:23] Gnea: never had a problem with wget downloading large files [00:23] Odd-rationale, you mean for firefox? or system wide? [00:23] jmd9qs: for firefox [00:24] ricekrispy: ISO's, specifically.. and you had to resume it? [00:24] can anyone help me with my graphics card (jaton 117pci 32m)? [00:24] its been years though since anyone has had a problem with bad implementations of http resume - even firefox has it now [00:24] Odd-rationale: cool :) [00:24] although i have noted problems sometimes with firefox not noticing it has only downloaded part of a file [00:24] then, you can't choose to resume because it thinks it has the lot [00:24] but rsync is usually used for performing backups, not downloading software [00:25] term_: Okay you don't have write permissions for that directory. But before fixing that let's see if we can avoid installing from source. [00:25] 20min and counting (A) [00:25] * aprilhare has used rsync to download iso images in the past - thats why i used it at all [00:25] mikevankuik: you found the 64bit alternative disc? [00:25] debian linux cds [00:25] Odd-rationale: yeah I did :) [00:25] Odd-rationale, now i'm getting an error from privoxy in firefox saying Privoxy was unable to socks4a-forward your request SOCKS request rejected or failed [00:25] Odd-rationale: now I know where to look in the future ^_^ [00:26] * aprilhare watches episodes of the Roommating Show [00:26] jmd9qs: restart tor too [00:26] ok [00:26] Hi guys. Ok, so I built my new computer today (using it now on an 8.04 live CD) I just need to copy some files from my old file system to a third storage space hard drive. However when I try to copy files I am not allowed because I do not have ownership over the old drive. Can someone show me the usage of chown and what i need to do to start moving stuff from my old install to a backup drive,? [00:26] term_: Did you do the steps for adding the repositories from the link I sent you? (Starts with "Open up System->Preferences") [You only need to do that step right now.] [00:27] sooth: Yes i did add them [00:27] term_: What does "sudo apt-get install vidalia" give? [00:27] HRShovinstuff: probably best to copy the files first, then change ownership [00:27] ricekrispy i can't copy the files it will not let me [00:27] Odd-rationale: going to be so happy with my 64bit ubuntu :D its really my favorite distro :) there is a solution for everything ^_^ going to install a Ubuntu lighttpd php mysql rubyonrails test server with it :) anything I should be aware about? [00:27] HRshovinstuff: easily: mkdir /media/newdisk/storage && chown ubuntu.ubuntu /media/newdisk/storage then just drag 'em over to the storage folder [00:28] sooth: "vidalia is already installed" [00:28] HRshovinstuff: you may need to use sudo on those commans [00:28]
