[00:00] Decepticon, Full path didn't work either... This is driving me crazy. Cron should run stuff as the user which I'm "crontabbing" from, right? [00:00] Itaku: or del *.* [00:00] whats the windows equivilant of cd? [00:00] Itaku: cd [00:00] Itaku: same command [00:00] Itaku: in windows though you can use cd.. instead of cd .. [00:00] oooh, a quiz :oD [00:01] Itaku: where's the better place for windows reference info... ##windows [00:01] burkmat: yeah, so makre sure youre not editing the /etc/crontab . but rather some file where you've added that in, and then did the command crontab /path/to/your/crontab.file. you can check with crontab -l [00:01] bonsoir a tous [00:01] !fr | chack-1 [00:01] chack-1: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:01] qu'elqu'un peut maidé qu sujet de iptables? [00:01] and my only thinking would be to boot from the built in video (remove the card), uninstall the card driver, put the card back in, and reinstall the driver [00:01] mahlzeit, chack-1 [00:01] Decepticon, Using Ubuntu out of the box should work just using crontab from my user, right? [00:01] AceBlade258: will try [00:01] whats the best program to ghost a ext3 drive? [00:02] ozatomic: partimage? [00:02] how do i format a 500GB external Harddrive into Fat32 from ntsf???

It didn't create a menu item and "gimageview" is not found. How do I determine which command starts it? [00:02] chack-1: was ist das für ein sinnloses gebrabbel? [00:02] burkmat: not famliar. afaik when you specify your file, as your own user with crontab /path/to/crontab/file/of/your/own... you are saying i am decepticon and that my own personal crontab is there that you should run, cron daemon [00:02] Reformer81: dpkg -L gimageview | grep /bin [00:02] !de [00:02] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[00:03] is the forums site down for the time being? [00:03] ill brb [00:03] koshar1: any help on this please? [00:03] ozatomic: don't know. Your other option is dd which does a "dumb" copy bit for bit [00:03] Decepticon, yeah, but just adding stuff to the crontab without modifying /etc/crontab on a new ubuntu install should run my crontab stuff, right? gah... maybe i'll just use sleep, at this rate I won't be asleep by the time the alarm clock goes off. :P [00:04] ActionParsnip: ive done it before, i just cant remeber how (using ubuntu) all i need to do do it on ubuntuo is form at the drive into fat32 (so it will work on xbox360) and i dont have a windows computer.... so i need a way t [00:04] ozatomic: you can easily reinstall grub [00:04] QaDeS, [00:04] ??

At a certain point in the installation, XP asks me to set a password, so I did. Then when the install was done it started windows and asked me for the password, but won't accept it. [00:04] I know it's the right password and I tried a fresh install just in case, now I don't know what to do. [00:04] does dd backup the mbr aswell? [00:04] xinxan: thats a windows issue, join ##windows or #vbox [00:04] yoyit2: if you dont mind losing data you can simply unmount the partition then run: sudo mk2fs.vfat /dev/ [00:04] ozatomic: yes [00:05] Oh, there's a channel for vbox? Thanks ikonia. [00:05] yoyit2: if you backup the data first you can copy it back once its formatted [00:05] ActionParsnip: thx [00:05] yoyit2: mke2fs vfat sorry [00:06] How do I tell where the icon that if displaying on a shortcut is coming from?

[00:39] ActionParsnip: must not have ... will check wifi docs [00:40] Hutch, tried both, went back to windows. quad 4 4gig ;) [00:40] hyperspace: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [00:40] hello everyone. is it best practice to upgrade every time a new regular upgrade comes out (like Ibex)? or wait for the next lts release? I am on Ubuntu EEE, based on 8.04 lts [00:40] Ok, have done a completely fresh install of Ubuntu, reset the router and modem, then the PC. Any idea what to do now? [00:40] whats lts? [00:40] Harnagel, i dont think so, you need to boot an OS to fix the upgrade [00:40] hyperspace: about 20% way down [00:40] wat, long term support [00:40] nickrud_: so im guessing you still got mouse lag if you went back to windows [00:40] oh [00:40] wait for the lts imo [00:40] mib_nbtqz7bp: if it aint broke, dont fix it [00:40] Other than 8.04lol, can anyone else help me with installing 8.10? [00:40] gogereaver: ctlr alt f1 gives me same desktop weirdness clt alt f7 gives me a black screen... [00:40] I have a hardy heron cd. [00:41] mib_nbtqz7bp, Your choice, lts is obviously more reliable [00:41] Harnagel, that will do fine [00:41] marabout_ odd that should sent you to text [00:41] mib_nbtqz7bp i usually boot off a disc of the latest one, and make sure everything works forst [00:41] Hutch, no, I had no mouse lag in windows (once I used a wired mouse, that is, I occasionally had wireless mouse lag) [00:41] Ikan: same process as installing 8.04 [00:41] How will I repair the dependency issues? [00:41] Ikan: boot cd and install [00:41] marabout_ defently sounds likea flaky video driver [00:41] Ikan: be sure to check the cd for defects [00:41] nickrud~: i mean in linux via wine [00:42] thanks, wat, action, bod. so let's say I want to upgrade to the next lts release, what is best way to keep all customizations and settings when I upgrade? [00:42] The thing is that I'm trying to dualboot and it doesn't give me the option to install on a specific partition [00:42] Hutch, yeah, performance wasn't where I wanted it [00:42] mib_nbtqz7bp im not the one to ask about that O_O [00:42] and when I elect to install "manually" it shows all my hard-drive being taken up [00:42] no prob, thanks wat [00:42] mib_nbtqz7bp: when you upgrade you only upgrade the apps, settings will stand [00:42] Is there a Ubuntu CLI chat forum? [00:42] I can show you pictures if you'd like? [00:42] ikan on 8.04 for me there is a slider its awesome [00:42] ActionParsnip: i seem to be missing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:42] hyperspace: you make it [00:43] There's supposedly a slider on 8.10 also [00:43] Harnagel, you will need to restart the upgrade, boot the live cd, mount the partially upgraded ppartition, use chroot to change root directory to that of the dodgy upgrade (effectively running ibex now) then run sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade [00:43] yeah idk why [00:43] gogereaver: wow nothing brings me back. guess I need to power down to get back [00:43] mdg2 current nivida linux drivers do not support sli modes [00:43] I did a disc check for errors, nothing came up [00:43] nickrud_: right. cube still isnt working, i enabled desktop cube and bound it to a key combo, but the cube doesnt spin [00:43] Anyone here use FreeNX? I have some Q's, please PM me. Thanks! [00:43] ikan what speed did you burn at [00:43] Bodsda: Thank you. :) [00:43] action, I've seen people talk about keeping their home directory on another partition. Isn't this so that settings will remain after upgrade? Or is there another reason users do this? [00:43] Do I need to put a MAC address in the "auto eth0" connection? [00:43] sli? [00:43] I burned at x2 [00:43] Harnagel, your welcome [00:43] nvidia? [00:43] Anybody want to help me with my flash problem? [00:43] I'll be working on it right now [00:43] ActionParsnip: ah ok cool... just take output of wpa_passphrase networkessid and put it in there eh [00:43] Hutch, it had default key bindings already: clt-alt- left/right arrow [00:43] mib_nbtqz7bp anything in home will not get lost on upgrades or os failer [00:44] Using FF 3.0.5 and the latest Adobe flash. Some sites work, some do not [00:44] Is it just me or have the ubuntu forums been down for awhile? [00:44] EX - you tube works fine [00:44] nickrud_: that flips the cube sides, but i want to actually show the 3d cube [00:44] hyperspace: whatever it says in the guide [00:44] powertool08 yeah they have been dwn for some time now [00:44] powertool08: they are down [00:44] mib_nbtqz7bp if you have a home partation that is [00:44] Thanks, goger, so then what is the point of keeping your home directory on separate partition? [00:44] powertool08: It seems its been down all day [00:44] mib_nbtqz7bp thats the point [00:44] Hutch, increase/decrease zoom level, or hold down middle button and drag mouse [00:44] hyperspace: i use wep for the whole reason to avoid all that faff [00:44] Ah, I think you just answered the question. thanks. [00:44] Hutch, Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:45] mdg2: Going on 18 hrs here [00:45] nickrud_: ah ok, got it. but the cube isn't 4 sided, its just a back/front slide. anyway to change that? [00:45] !bonjour [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about bonjour [00:45] mib_nbtqz7bp if you just have 1 partation if you have os failer and have to format data gets lost [00:45] powertool08: It apparently wasn't a schedule event [00:45] Hutch, change number of desktops, see Jack_Sparrow above for more details [00:45] mib_nbtqz7bp having a home partation sepreates your personal data from the os [00:45] Any pointers on how to solve problems wih flash and Firefox? [00:45] ikan do you have any linux experience? [00:45] mdg2: To be down that long I wouldn't expect it would be [00:45] mib_nbtqz7bp: you put yuor home on a seperate partition so that if you have to reinstall you can delete all other partitions and do a regular install, then edit fstab to mount the home partition as /home [00:45] try reburning =x [00:46] Hutch, make an octagon if you like [00:46] is there a way to resize my /root and /home partition with the Intrepid liveDVD I used to install?

[01:34] Hutch if you did firfox after flash it can be a issue [01:34] My Problem: Samba 3.2.3 on 8.10, trying to connect to a share from XPsp3, Mapping drive works with bare login ( kamilion/password ), network neighborhood does not (replaces with CORE\kamilion). Is there a workaround I can be pointed at for this other than having to map drive letters every time? Perhaps a config setting for samba to accept MACHINE\user ? [01:34] mdg2: I think Bunny_ typed "vi etc/network/interfaces" instead of "vi /etc/network/interfaces" [01:34] gogereaver: how do i go about doing that. nah i did flash after firefox [01:34] jrib: I corrected it [01:35] xinxan: No, that's no problem, I've done that plenty.

And I don't have to have any special settings for that, right? Just change the defaults in settings. So this should work after I figure out the unattended thing, okay. I'll give that a try. Thanks again. [01:35] Bunny_: we will close "Vi" by typing :q! [01:35] Kamilion: my samba error... [01:35] Hutch same for remove [01:35] gogereaver: couldnt find package flash-nonfree [01:36] opersts: what ?

I have ubuntu 8.10. any help please? [01:36] itachi: Any luck resolving it? [01:36] flashplugin-nonfree [01:36] A few days ago, my audio just stopped working on my machine (running 8.10) it says can't play due to unknown reasons... I googled it and nothing seemed to be very helpful. I am sure its not my audio card, because it has been working for a while... and honestly its pretty generic audio card. What type of trouble shooting can I do (I have lost audio in Music and DVD playback) [01:36] ugg I guess I'll use windows :C [01:36] sucks [01:36] Kamilion: yes, u lucky [01:36] yay, evolution's reinstalling [01:37] Bunny_: Now in the terminal type: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces ---- you need the slash before etc [01:37] and hopefully my email is still there o_o [01:37] maynoth: format the flash drive with ext3 then run fsck.ext3 -f -c [01:37] Kamilion: what ur problem ?

[01:40] weed37: what ur problem ? [01:40] itachi: won't work, samba [01:40] itachi: won't work, samba is PAM backed [01:40] Hutch maybe [01:40] Kamilion, "the volume uses a file system not supported by this system" [01:40] Hutch can alwys trying switching itto use alisa [01:40] weed37, we may have some answers [01:40] jeeves_Moss: Hm.

[02:56] mib_5tb1ckml: You probably should talk to openCV people, that's very likely some issue they're familiar enough with to help quickly [02:56] nith: have fun [02:56] bb all [02:56] smartguyz: this is what i found in a quick google search: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850789 [02:56] Flannel hey yea i tried but no one is responding [02:56] hello all [02:57] smartguyz: google this to see what i saw: intel 945 driver ubuntu video dual monitor [02:57] is there an easy alternative to e-mail attachments for sharing a large file with someone? something simple perhaps? [02:57] what is the technical name for the bar that says "file" "edit" and "view" etc [02:57] ? [02:57] dcc in irc [02:57] jrib: did they take out the fire animation out of compiz? [02:57] mroc, throw it up on an ftp server [02:57] mroc: some sort of ftp? http? There's *many* alternatives.... [02:58] TheFunkBomb: menu bar [02:58] TheFunkbomb for what app? [02:58] mroc: yeah, ftp, samba, etc... === sektor is now known as sektor1952 [02:58] okay [02:58] mroc: the *quickest* way is using ssh [02:58] Somebody say my name. I'm testing the script. [02:58] k thanks anyway guys [02:58] mroc: but that requires knowing each computers' password [02:58] kinja-sheep [02:58] pyro2927: no, it's still there [02:58] pyro2927: One more time. [02:58] I'm trying to recompile the kernel and I get an error when I run make menuconfig or make xconfig [02:58] kinja-sheep [02:59] is there any program that I can use to connect to my tivo? [02:59] I was applying a patch for 1 of my nics [02:59] rich, Flannel, rdw200169: most of those sound like a decent amount of setup. i have one large file i need to send along. anything that wouldn't involve setting up my own server (ftp, ssh, or otherwise)? [02:59] mroc, does the sendee have IRC? [02:59] mroc: Use rapidshare or similar. [02:59] jrib: it doesnt show up for me [02:59] mroc: well, ssh would require setting up a server, but you don't have to do any special configs, just apt-get install openssh-server [03:00] im running xfce4 as a desktop..whats a good file manager i can use in that enviro for dealing with compressed files..? [03:00] if your sending the file to a friend you can scp it over ( though this would need ssh) [03:00] pyro2927: are you looking in ccsm or simple-ccsm? [03:00] mroc: then, you can do a scp to transfer the file [03:00] xfm! [03:00] rich_, ah you beat me [03:00] >.< [03:00] grendal_prime: xfce uses Thunar [03:00] mdg2: ok so what i did was use headset>sound card for audio playback and headset>usb adapter>usb for sound capture. pretty damn stupid, but it works [03:00] You were well on your way to the same thing though lol [03:00] Bunny_: "iface pan0 inet dhcp" [03:00] grendal_prime: but you can use any filemanager really [03:01] the error I'm getting is file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? when I try to run make menuconfig or make xconfig [03:01] grendal_prime: mc! [03:01] mroc: that, and with the openssh-server running default, you can browse it in nautilus quite easily, using Places -> Connect to Server... [03:01] Thanks again for all your help, Slart [03:01] simple ccsm [03:01] You've really improved my knowledge of Ubuntu [03:01] mroc: there are some websites that will allow you to upload and other people to download, etc. [03:01] er [03:01] is there a plugin ...in thunar for handleing...compressed files..because i dont see it [03:01] mdg2: Alredy did that, ran the network reset got "no DHCPOFFERS received" [03:01] jrib: ccsm [03:01] And everyone else who's helped me [03:01] thanks a lot [03:01] pyro2927: where are you looking? [03:02] thanks for the quick responses. i'll look into some of those options. maybe it's worth setting up the ssh. if i get lazy, maybe i'll go with the third party website thing. thanks for the help everyone [03:02] Bunny_: Well, at least we know it is using pan0 [03:02] mroc: seriously, ssh is just a matter of 'apt-get install openssh-server [03:02] rdw200169: thank you for taking the time to help me.... [03:02] smartguyz: hey, no prob [03:02] smartguyz: if you had nvidia, i could help you more, because that's what i use [03:03] pyro2927: just use the channel please [03:03] rdw200169: the person on the other end probably isn't going to know how to do ssh. and i don't have the spare time to set up things and show them. [03:03] grendal_prime: that i dont know have you tried google for 'Thunar plugins'? [03:03] jrib: under the advanced settings for 'animations' [03:03] Bunny_: Did you "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restat" === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [03:03] mdg2: Yep [03:03] rdw200169: What's the Official Debian Way of starting the sshd server after it's installed, anyway? [03:03] Bunny_: after you save the file with pan0 in it? [03:03] mroc: ah, this is over the internet isn't it [03:03] rdw200169: much appreciated I really appreciate the support..... hooked on ubuntu even though I do not know everything about how it works... [03:03] mdg2: Yep [03:03] gonewestcoast: It starts automatically once you install it, so... "wait" [03:03] gonewestcoast: Flannel is correct [03:04] pyro2927, Are you trying to figure out animations like burn etc [03:04] Flannel: Please tell me you're kidding. [03:04] pyro2927: I can't find it either now. I know I had it on my laptop though. Maybe #compiz-fusion can tell you more [03:04] gonewestcoast: No [03:04] rdw200169: well, probably. i was trying to figure out the easiest way. [03:04] thunar archive plugin...there it is..thanks [03:04] So Ubuntu doesn't draw a distinction between "installed" and "running?" [03:04] gonewestcoast: But, you can restart/stop/start etc it. [03:04] grendal_prime: cool :) [03:04] Bunny_: back on the desktop, right click the networking icon in the menu bar [03:04] mdg2: Ok [03:04] gonewestcoast: Well, it does. It installs, and part of the post-install stuff is to start it [03:04] gonewestcoast: that or, /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:04] Flannel: How, by calling /etc/rc.d/sshd stop? [03:04] Bunny_: what does "connection information" show now? [03:04] gonewestcoast: /etc/init.d/ssh stop [03:04] mdg2: Still grey [03:04] Ah, they live in init.d here. Okay. [03:05] gonewestcoast: yup, that's where the init scripts are hidden [03:05] Bunny_: If you double left click - what happens [03:05] gonewestcoast: Although, as of Intrepid theres something like "service ssh stop" [03:05] pyro2927: oh, in simple-ccsm, I click on "enable extra animations" and then it gives me the "burn" option [03:05] Bunny_: Single left click [03:05] rdw200169: been using youtube a lot for UBUNTU installation configurations, vbox, ect... [03:05] Flannel: gonewestcoast, yeah, i'm using 8.04 so i don't know about 8.10, shouldn't be much different though [03:05] mdg2: In grey "Wired Network" "auto eth0" [03:05] Yeah, I'm used to the RedHat and FreeBSD ways of doing it, just haven't done much with Debian yet. [03:05] rdw200169: The initd stuff still exists, there's just another abstraction [03:05] smartguyz: you tube is good, but so is help.ubuntu.com [03:06] Flannel: that's what i figured [03:06] Is there a little circle next to that? [03:06] gonewestcoast: i really like the debian way of doing things ;) [03:06] pyro2927: and looks like "animations-addon" in ccsm [03:07] smartguyz: the ubuntu website, and the ubuntu forums, is a huge wealth of information on all kinds of crazy things [03:07] mdg2: Yes, also greyed out [03:07] pyro2927 For Animations like Burning windows.. Open ccsm. Under Effects.. Enable Animations and Animations add-ons... Double click Animations.. You will see tabs for Open, Close, Minimize etc... On the tab marked Open Select.. New.. Where it says open Effect Select... Burn.. Set Duration to 150.. For Window Match.. Type (type=Normal | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Dialog | ModalDialog) [03:07] Bunny_: No black dot in the circle? [03:07] mdg2: No [03:07] Bunny_: try clicking on it [03:07] Bunny_: the circle [03:07] mdg2: Nothing [03:07] Jack_Sparrow: Burn isnt listed anymore [03:08] yea it is [03:08] Bunny_: Do you get a menu option under that for "manual configuration?" [03:08] mdg2: No [03:08] gonewestcoast: i'm working on a project that involves installing debian onto a soekris board for a embedded router solution [03:08] mdg2: I can do "edit connections" when I right click [03:08] anyone for robbing a bank (legally) ? [03:09] Bunny_: Bunny_ Lets try that [03:09] !ot > saera [03:09] saera, please see my private message [03:09] Bunny_: Tell what it shows [03:09] !netsplit [03:09] mdg2: Ok [03:09] 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 [03:09] saera: Technically that's not... robbing.

I pulled my hard drive and moved it to another computer now my adobe documents that must authenticate on a server will not open.

[03:18] Flannel: does apt-cache show package show only for specific repos like 8.04 if thats whats installed? [03:18] any pointers?

[03:19] not sure if this one got thru: I'm trying to upgrade to 7.04 and I keep getting http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] [03:19] mdg2: It'll show whatever you currently have in your apt-cache [03:19] mroc: then, under the switches tab, there might be a headphones check-box [03:19] klotho, I think it is.. sudo do-release upgrade [03:19] klotho: you're upgrading *to* 7.04 from 6.10?

[03:19] Flannel: yes [03:20] ericjung: well, first you've got to shrink the vista partition [03:20] ericjung: to make some space to install ubuntu [03:20] Flannel: can apt-cache search querry specifically 8.04 repos? [03:20] klotho: oh right. I could've figured that out on my own. You need to change your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ then follow the upgrade instructions here: [03:20] rdw200169: already done [03:20] !upgrade | klotho [03:20] klotho: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:20] Flannel: how do I change the repos? [03:20] klotho: edit your sources.list [03:20] mdg2: You may be interested in packages.ubuntu.com [03:20] Flannel: cool, where is that? [03:20] ericjung: then just install normally, i believe grub will boot vista normally via the chainloader [03:20] klotho: /etc/apt/sources.list [03:21] Flannel: Thanks! going there now. [03:21] ericjung: though i don't know for sure because I haven't done it personally [03:21] Flannel: grrreat! [03:21] rdw200169: install vista or ubuntu first? [03:21] why when setting a static ip in ubuntu, the dhcp always comes back on a reboot? [03:21] ericjung: the ubuntu installer should find the empty space, and by default install there [03:21] ericjung: vista first [03:21] rdw200169: well, the new things i check show up, but nothing called headphones still. checked them all off, all volume is up, doesn't appear to give me headphones sound. [03:21] ericjung: otherwise you end up with this: [03:21] !grub | ericjung [03:21] ericjung: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:21] mroc: i don't know then... :( [03:22] !ubuntu | ubottu [03:22] ericjung: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:22] rdw200169: me neither. thanks for your efforts though, i appreciate it. [03:22] if you install vista second, it will rewrite grub [03:22] ok [03:23] how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x? [03:23] Flannel: just add a deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ line at the top of the file? [03:23] Bunny_: Anything good happening? [03:23] klotho: No, change all of the http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lines to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [03:24] Anyone know how to keep your display from turning off? It's not going to screensaver, it's like it's going to sleep. Highly annoying. Nothing I've tried has helped. [03:24] mdg2: I just tried sudo lshw -c network...It shows my ethernet card there, then pan0. The ethernet card network says DISABLED, pan0 does not [03:24] Meshezabeel: is dhcp set in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [03:24] Flannel: cool, thanks [03:24] WetWired_ALUG, add acpi=no to your grub config [03:24] mdg2: Logical name for the ethernet says eth0 [03:25] grub config? really? I didn't figure it'd be in there [03:25] Bunny_: What kind of computer is this? [03:25] mdg2: Desktop [03:25] Bunny_: What brand etc. [03:25] Meshezabeel: it's either there, or something to do with NetworkManager [03:25] mdg2: No brand, I made it myself [03:25] would anyone be willing to help me for a sec with an installation issue on a macbook? [03:25] What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.) [03:25] Bunny_: WOW :) [03:25] quit [03:26] mdg2: I'm not stupid, I just have no idea how Linux operates :P [03:26] rdw200169: I believe so, the machines are at work though, so not sure, but in networkmanager, we take out the dhcp setting, and replace it with a manual setting, and once the machines are rebooted, the dhcp comes back [03:26] Bunny_: did you manufacture the boards too? (hah, joke, kidding) [03:26] Meshezabeel: then it's likely in /etc/network/interfaces [03:26] how i use the sleep command in sessions to delay mail-notification from starting immediately? Is it just appname sleep x? [03:26] mdg2: Though I know Windows inside and out lol [03:26] Bunny_: In a terminal type "dmesg" [03:26] Bunny_: may need you for windows at work :) [03:27] please? [03:27] Meshezabeel: the /etc/init.d/network script takes that configuration file for setting up the network; that's where you put static settings, read the man page: man interfaces [03:27] ALSA won't stop when shutting down -- any ideas why this is? [03:27] mdg2: dmesg wrote two tons of stuff in my terminal [03:27] flannel: how about the lines that say security.ubuntu.com? [03:27] Bunny_: shift + page up to scroll back up - looking for network card stuff [03:27] klotho: Those go to old-releases as well [03:27] btw, this file doesn't have cc.whatever only archive.whatever [03:28] mdg2: Specific text? [03:28] klotho: that's fine. "cc." can be missing [03:28] requiring users to edit files to upgrade is kinda dum [03:28] Bunny_: You are looking for pan0 and eth0 [03:28] why move things? [03:29] Flannel: thanks a bunch! [03:29] klotho: Er... Had you upgraded while Edgy was suported, you wouldn't have to. [03:29] wakest: i read your problem earlier, but i've got nothing [03:29] klotho: As is, Edgy has been unsupported for almosta year now. [03:29] How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu? [03:29] Bunny_: What kind of network card did you put in this computer? [03:30] Flannel: thing is, you can't assume users will upgrade, and those who don't are probably less linux savvy,so there's no reason to make things more difficult [03:30] got a weird issue I've never had before on ubuntu.... total OS lockup while opening a file [03:30] mdg2: SiS900 on-board [03:30] klotho: If you use update-manager, you'd get notifications about Feisty being released, and a suggestion to upgrade (for a year about, before edgy went EOL) [03:31] Flannel: I have no argument with you at all. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to change things so that they break if you don't have to [03:31] klotho: And also, Edgy's repos stayed online for around 4 months after it was EOL (in the same place). In the future, you may wish to stick with the LTS releases, which you only need to upgrade once every few years. [03:31] Bunny_: Finding anything in dmesg? [03:32] klotho: Not broken. But the errors from getting packages is a good way to indicate to people that they need to figure out "whats wrong" instead of them blindly running insecure versions [03:32] Bunny_: You got another network card you can throw in there? [03:32] mdg2 nope [03:32] How do you transfer profiles from Windows to Ubuntu? [03:32] Bunny_: Will this computer be dual booting? [03:33] mdg2 nope [03:33] Flannel: my grandmother or girlfriend would never figure it out. [03:33] Bunny_: That makes it easier [03:33] Bllasae did you install on same HD? If so Ubuntu asked me on first boot if I want to copy contents of profiles folders [03:33] in fact, I looked around online and didn't find anything [03:34] so unless someone knows to come here, they seem to be SOL [03:34] Bunny_: BTW, you can type "dmesg | less" and use page up/down [03:34] I asked me but the folder wasn't there [03:34] klotho: Then they'd never realise they need to upgrade, and never try to upgrade either. They'd still be running Edgy, which has the ssl random number problem, etc. [03:34] Bunny_: You can also use edit to search for pan0 [03:34] klotho, can't argue about that; why not add/check brainstorm for a better way to inform people [03:34] Flannel: they'd realize they need an upgrade because the system tells you to upgrade and shows that there's a 7.04 upgrade availabe, but then when you try it breaks [03:35] mdg2: Here's what's strange to me.... [03:35] You've looked in your home folder? [03:35] klotho: I suggest after you upgrade to 7.04, you upgrade to 7.10 then 8.04. And stop there. In a few years, you'll be able to upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04 (and you have until 11.04 to do so before the desktop stuffs go out of support) [03:35] I have a PC with internet and I would like to share the conection with two PC's, PC-A has gentoo, PC-B has ubunto; both can ping the gateway, but only PC-A has internet, both route -n outputs are the same, any idea? [03:35] mdg2: When I type lshw -c network, the SiS900 comes up as eth0 [03:35] klotho: No, For *a year* of the system telling them there's an upgrde it was in the same location it was in, and they wouldn't have had to do anything but click "Upgrade" [03:35] Hi, thank you to whoever gave me the pointer to some help pages for Mythbuntu. However I am somewhat of a Ubuntu newbie and I tried to fix my problem before coming here. And the pages are interesting and helpful, but I can't figure out what I need to do. My problem is during the MythTV Setup. I've checked the /etc/mythtv/mythtv mysql.txt file and the problem doesn't seem to be the password. I am unable to get past the "Database Configuration" [03:35] . I have manuall started mysql. When I start the MythTV Backend Setup it asks if it ok to stop any previously running processes. Could the problem be that mysql is also stopped at that time?? [03:36] Bunny_: So pan0 shows an inet addr, but when you querry hardware it shows eth0 right? [03:36] Flannel: I'm still getting errors on upgrade with it looking for security.etc. I double checked that file and every line is edited with old-sources. anything else I should check? [03:36] mdg2: Yes [03:36] ll: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-mythtv [03:36] Hello [03:36] ah, thank you Flannel. [03:36] klotho: You need to move security to old-releases too [03:37] What are chroots? As in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html. (Up to now I only know a chroot command.) [03:37] Bunny_: Did you see anything in dmesg about pan0 and eth0? [03:37] Flannel: is that another file? I did change those lines in sources.list [03:37] I've recently downloaded Banshee Music Player and would like to use that as my default music player [03:37] bullgard4, chroots are the environment you are in when you chroot. [03:38] I've selected it as my preferred multimedia application in preferred applications, but when I open an mp3 file, totem still loads [03:38] klotho: Check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for files [03:38] nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. [03:38] What can I do to correct the issue [03:38] mdg2: Yes. "pan0: no IPv6 routers present" [03:38] Bunny_: that's normal - mine shows that - I don't use IPv6 [03:38] Flannel: it does have some files in it [03:38] right click mp3 file and select properties, then open with add or select banshee [03:38] bullgard4, always a pleasure to see you [03:38] klotho: Check those files for similar things. [03:38] Will I need to do this with all mp3 files? [03:38] can i configure my network with manually ifconfig/route/resolv.conf or ubuntu has some process that manages this? [03:39] Bunny_: You are looking for "Link up" with pan0 or eth0 [03:39] no, just 1 [03:39] Bunny_: BTW, if you use "dmesg | less" you can search by typing "/eth0" [03:39] ld50: yea sure you can do it, if u modify interfaces file ubuntu's network manager will just ignore that interface [03:39] Flannel: thanks again [03:39] Bunny_: I'm still learning linux [03:39] hi. i'm getting a lot weird messages in dmesg|less: "PM: Removing info for No Bus:XXXXX" where XXXXX ranges from "event7", "input0", and "usbdev..." [03:39] Thank you roger_ [03:40] ld50, you can; ubuntu has 2 major methods: /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager [03:40] what exactly is "PM"? [03:40] nickrud: :-) [03:40] did that work for you Gemmie78 [03:40] nickrud, usser thanks [03:40] mdg2: eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 5, 00:00:00:00:00:00 [03:41] <[Muel]Eliot> Were can i get help for installing a program? [03:41] [Muel]Eliot, depends on the program and where you got it [03:41] That worked perfectly [03:41] You solved this issue in the first go, thanks [03:41] np [03:41] [Muel]Eliot, What do you need to know? [03:41] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ [03:42] Just too easy for you [03:42] <[Muel]Eliot> dunno how to install it [03:42] Bunny_: So your Sis900 is seen and configure as eth0, but no inet addr there [03:42] Flannel: hmm.. now it's giving me some errors like Failed to fetch http://old-sources.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) [03:42] mdg2: Yup [03:42] [Muel]Eliot, Is is a program in the repos? [03:42] hi anyone know how to send a fax using an eee pc on ubuntu 8.10 ? [03:42] I want to also know 2 more things, Firefox and Opera, what are the browsers that you folks are using? [03:42] <[Muel]Eliot> YankDownUnder, dont think so [03:42] klotho: Oh, it's old-releases not old-sources, and I don't think there's any commercial component there, just go ahead and comment (#) that line out [03:42] Firefox [03:42] both [03:43] [Muel]Eliot, Well, what is the program you want to install? [03:43] hello. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and the gnome desktop. the command ctrl+alt+F(1-6) does nothing while I'm logged into gnome. but it does go to the fullscreen terminal when I am on the gdm login screen. ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work either. [03:43] [Muel]Eliot, that looks like a sample program, written to use specific chip sets; do you have the ones mentioned on the page? [03:43] Flannel: do I have to change everything to releases? [03:43] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ [03:43] I'm currently running in a fairly weak notebook and want to try and maximise whatever performance I have out of this machine [03:43] <[Muel]Eliot> I have no clue, uhm how can i tell? [03:43] klotho: old-sources shouldn't work as far as I know. it's old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [03:43] Should I stick with firefox, or is it true Opera is more leaner on resources [03:43] [Muel]Eliot, note the dates on the changelog as well. Something like that is probably non-funtional now. and either lspci or lsusb will show the wireless chip [03:43] opera is leaner [03:43] both browsers have their ups and down [03:43] flannel: not canonical.com? [03:43] Secondly, do you all stick with evolution as your default email client or do you use thunderbird [03:44] [Muel]Eliot, Er...without me opening a browser, what can you tell me about the program - and have you looked to see if someone's converted it to a DEB for Ubuntu? [03:44] did someone see my post? :x [03:44] Bunny_: Am reading a post at ubuntuforums.com about Sis900 [03:44] Flannel: do I edit the commercial sources? they were .canonical.com [03:44] I found my firefox folder but what do i do with my profiles folder? [03:45] [Muel]Eliot, Er...just looked for a grin...what you'd need to do is to get all the dependencies to compile it on your own matey [03:45] klotho: Just remove them. comment them out [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> christ guys i dont know what im doing lol [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> i got this out of terminal [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> fucl [03:45] Gemmie78, I use thunderbird, better imap support [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> didnt coppy soryr [03:45] [Muel]Eliot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] [Muel]Eliot: Please watch your language. [03:45] Finally is there a way to find out your exact hardware stats in ubuntu [03:45] wow. [03:45] windows 7 is taking forever to install :( [03:45] MK13: Please keep this channel ontopic, thanks. [03:45] <[Muel]Eliot> 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) [03:45] rofl [03:45] Windows 7 is nothing but Vista redone [03:45] Gemmie78, try sudo lspci | less for real details [03:46] Why does Firefox say "No programs that contain bookmarks, history or password data could be found"???????????? [03:46] my post got flooded away :x. may I post it again? [03:46] I copied the folder to the desktop [03:46] Gemmie78, erm, sudo lshw | less I mean [03:46] Can I get help in here on a certain problem involving my package manager? [03:46] i am on topic, it is running in virtual machine one ubuntu ;) [03:46] How does Firefox know that there isn't anything in it [03:46] Just a basic hardware information check, I've tried the hardware info check, but I just [03:46] i have a nanorc file in /etc/ and it will not work. For some strange reason, when I open the file nanorc with nano, then the options i have in nanorc apply? [03:46] on* [03:46] Bunny_: No solution to that post, but he had pan0 showing as well [03:46] axelhm: Every 15-25 minutes is a good rate of repeat. [03:46] YankDownUnder, Windows 7's version number is 6.1, vista was 6 [03:46] just type that in terminal? [03:46] Jonatha1, possibly, ask away [03:46] Flannel, ok thanks [03:46] kk [03:46] Gemmie78, yes. Page up/down to scroll [03:47] Only need to just doublecheck ram, and spec of cpu [03:47] axelhm: I'd check launchpad bug reports, we've had a few instances of that not happening. If you need to get to a TTY from gnome, you can use sudo chvt # (where # is 1-6) [03:47] I got this from my terminal when I run apt-get [03:47] Reading package lists... Error! [03:47] E: Encountered a section with no Package: header [03:47] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy-proposed_main_binary-amd64_Packages [03:47] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

What causes this and how can i fix it? [03:47] any here use ubuntu on an acer by any chance? [03:47] mdg2: Guess they'll get around to it in six months? lol [03:47] Flannel: do you want to rewrite your sources.list anyway? should I say yes? [03:47] klotho: please pastebin your sources.list (and the contents of the other ones) [03:48] <[Muel]Eliot> MK13, yes, my brother has an acer aspire 7720 with ubuntu working fine on it. [03:48] what you mean by hardy-proposed? [03:48] Flannel: I said yes and it seems happy at the moment [03:48] Anyone ever heard of hard lockups on Ubuntu 8.10? Starts with app thats open, then Menus and then mouse will finally quit working after about 60 seconds after logging in. [03:48] Jonatha1: You've enabled the -proposed repositories for hardy. Disable them. You don't want to have them enabled [03:48] Flannel: oops. no it's not [03:48] ahh [03:48] Jonatha1, system->admin->software sources, find proposed, and uncheck it [03:48] well how do I disable them? [03:48] hello how to install a game.tar.gz?its a game.i wanna play it in desktop ubuntu 8.04 [03:48] kk [03:48] it modified everything back to archive.ubuntu.com and then failed [03:48] runner23, check your logs and see what ran just before locking up [03:49] can I run fsck command for NTFS partition ? [03:49] jigpe, you unpack the file (its like a zip) [03:49] klotho: pastebin your sources.list (and the contents of each file in sources.list.d) [03:49] Bunny_: Found a page about sis900 in linux: www.brownhat.org/sis900.html [03:49] Jonatha1, it may be named as testing repository or similar verbiage [03:49] does that acer have a button for wifi, or a switch?

[03:55] mdg2: Alright [03:55] uh oh... I just received an error message [03:55] is it possible to get Logitech controllers ( jstick/rumblepad ) working in Ubuntu? [03:55] Flannel: what do you think? [03:55] klotho: Alright, remove all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then make your /etc/apt/sources.list have the following (and nothing else): http://paste.ubuntu.com/104676/ [03:55] a little question ...anyone known how change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? [03:55] Unable to delete files that are read only. Suggestions? [03:55] I might need some more help in a moment . . [03:56] Hi, i recently installed 8.10, and when ever i go to boot up it gets to where it loads the grub and then it says "Error 17" and i cannot input anything after that. What causes this and how can i fix it? [03:56] Hey guys How can i change the repositories from a local one to the main one. the local one is horribly slow [03:56] does the ubuntu live cd have a partition manager (to resize and create partitions) ? [03:56] Kristopher: yes [03:56] jigpe: wait, you're gonna need to do more than extract that tar to get an icon... is there like an 'install.sh' file? [03:56] Kristopher: Yes, Gnome Partition Manager (gparted) [03:56] Vantrax : no .deb [03:57] thanks - but i tried the gparted live cd and that wasn't displaying properly, so i couldn't use it. might the ubuntu one work better? [03:57] @Vantrax I'm at root shell prompt and it keeps telling me var/log/ isn't a valid directory and trying to change to / is ignored [03:57] Kristopher: It may, yes. [03:57] my computer's sound works in Windows (so there is no hardware problem, probably), but it's started only making a crackling noise in Ubuntu... any ideas? [03:57] I may have gotten in over my head. I sorta promised a friend and her mom that I could put their house on craigslist and ebay, which is no big deal. I also mentioned that I'd probably be able to create "360's" of the rooms in their house. I remember seeing something about software that does this in linux. Anyone know what it'd be called? [03:57] Flannel: cool, thanks! trying it again [03:57] eseven73 : nope there is no install.sh [03:57] jigpe: usually there's a doc directory you should see, if so, then go into that directory and view the help files [03:58] matt: hugin is a panorama picture thing [03:58] !wubi [03:58] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[03:58] pico [03:58] klotho: Alright, and what's telling you no valid mirror found? [03:59] thanks guys :) [03:59] the upgrade tool [03:59] jigpe, there is probably a setup script or you need to run a make command then [03:59] Flannel: exaclty what I was looking for. Now...perhaps you'll know this. in either flash, html, or javascript...do you know a free way to display these things really cool on a website? [03:59] klotho: (you're actually using nano, but that's ok). Do this: sudo apt-get update, do you get any errors? [03:59] runner23, in recovery mode or live cd [03:59] Why don't my freaking profiles work for freaking Firefox for freaking Windows to freaking Ubuntu? [03:59] recovery mode [03:59] matt: I don't. You might try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:59] Flannel: Alright...I'll try. [03:59] any help? yes/no? [03:59] Flannel: no errors [03:59] ..a little question ...anyone known how to change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? [04:00] @Bllasae because Ubuntu doesn't copy them as they are a different format === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [04:00] what do i do [04:00] klotho: Alright, then that's set up properly. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades should be able to get you the rest of the way through the upgrade [04:00] @Bllasae export your bookmarks in windows and reimport them in ubuntu [04:00] @Bllasae: Relax a bit. [04:01] I need to move the extension settings too runner23 [04:01] @portz, I've been trying this for the past hour [04:01] Still unable to delete files that are read only. Suggestions? [04:01] @Bllasae bookmark.html is just a list of your bookmarks, there shouldn't be any extension settings [04:01] Yeah, but I need to move my extension settings too [04:01] portz: what sorts of files? [04:02] .bik, .exe, .cab [04:02] @Bllasae check the extension settings and see if they have a export feature [04:02] I tried copying a CD to my disk, but want it gone. [04:02] with Intrepid, is there a reason why I don't see any applications in the "Add/Remove" application? [04:02] anyone? [04:02] portz: can you create files in the same directory? [04:02] !helpme | ltgg [04:02] ltgg: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[04:03] Flan: Gimme a sec [04:03] problem is I NEVER get an answer here ... don't know why I bother! [04:03] klotho: I'll walk you through it. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop linux-generic && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:04] @Vantrax it is but in recovery mode I couldn't get to them, I had to boot off the live cd, trying to figure out which log file it is [04:04] has anyone seen this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? [04:04] ltgg, try getting your question on one line and having everything needed in the one request [04:04] Flannel: Both options (Create folder, document) are grayed out [04:04] klotho: once you've done that (and restarted to make sure you're on the most recent kernel), go back to your sources.list, change the edgy to feisty (all three) then do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then you'll be upgrading to Feisty. [04:04] ltgg, the forums are also very effective for getting help [04:04] Flannel: this has me worried: Please note - this method is less reliable. If you use this method, you MUST be prepared to fix problems manually, such as packages being unexpectedly removed, apt crashing unexpectedly, etc. Using Update Manager (see above) is likely to be much less problematic. [04:04] portz: then you can use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [04:05] ...anyone known how to change the envyng from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? [04:05] klotho: Don't worry about it. [04:05] klotho: Those "worries" we've taken care of with the previous few commands [04:05] Flannel: Gutsy Gibbon? For -what-, exactly? [04:05] portz: What? [04:05] Oh, sorry. [04:06] Flannel: what's &&? [04:06] hello? [04:06] No worries, Flan. I know you're busy. [04:06] klotho: once you've upgraded to Feisty, you can use this guide to get to Gutsy (this one should go smooother): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [04:06] hello [04:06] klotho: command1 && command2 will do command2 if command1 exits successfully [04:06] whats the paste link again? Have a few log lines need to paste [04:07] runner23: paste.ubuntu.com [04:07] how can i force quit a program [04:07] adrian2Mil8: have you seen the issue I mentioned when try to config a kernel before compiling? [04:07] like ctrl+Alt+delete? [04:07] kill [04:07] Bll > System > Admin > System Monitor [04:07] Just like Task Manager [04:07] Bllasae: it is easiest to add the kill program to the panel [04:08] no , i don't see anything [04:08] err ehh force quit [04:08] hi all, a friend of mine recently installed ubuntu 8.10 via the wubi installer, and has since ran out of disk space on the root partition leading to all kinds of nastiness. He wants to shift some free space from other partitions on that drive to the ubuntu root partition and my first thought was to fire up a live cd and use gparted to resize his partitions but wubi appears to have done something strange and I can't see the ubuntu partition [04:08] to resize, I can only see his two ntfs partitions and what appears to be a vender recovery partition (it's a laptop)...anyone have any ideas on how to transfer some free space from his windows partition to the ubuntu space (whether it is a partition or not I dont' really know at this stage)? [04:08] !root [04:08] Flannel: ok, thanks. I'm trying it. but why do you think upgrade tool is broken? [04:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:08] then you click the little force quit button and click the window to kill [04:08] klotho: Because it wasn't updates to handle the old-releases stuff [04:08] dal_work, wubi doesnt have a partition [04:08] Adrian2Mil8: this issue when running make menuconfig or even make oldconfig file drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig already scanned? [04:08] i think what this is not the right place for get help [04:08] how do i open filebroweser from command? [04:09] all ignore you [04:09] dal_work, its a 'virtual' partition inside windoew [04:09] dal_work: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [04:09] "Firefox is already running, but is not responding.

[04:12] Bllasae: what doesn't exist? [04:12] the files [04:12] I can't find them in that folder [04:12] Flannel: Still unable to delete these files or make changes their permissions. [04:12] hi all, can someone help on using linux as a server [04:13] how do install more, Window Themes .. there is no import button in the Windows style area??? [04:13] I'm restarting the computer anyways I'll tell if it works [04:13] uzair: what do you want to do? [04:13] Bllasae: are you looking for the hidden files as well? [04:13] i don't know anymore [04:13] I'm restarting the computer now [04:13] uzair: #ubuntu-server might be of more help [04:13] Bllasae: they are hidden files and if they are there restarting won't help [04:13] klotho, basically i wanted to setup a relatively basic file/mail/authentication server on ubuntu hardy [04:13] anyone known how to change the envyng config from 173 to 181 nvidia driver ??? [04:14] @Vantrax http://paste.ubuntu.com/104681/ <== thats last session from messagees log file... I have a feeling its because I left my COD:WAW disk in the drive after switching from Windows Install [04:14] Bllasae: go to the folder in the shell and run: ls -al [04:14] oh, i'll keep that in mind, but since klotho asked, i'll see if he can help [04:14] Adrian2MiL8: yes, download the .bin from nvidias site and stop gdm and then run the file [04:14] uzair: I was just curious... [04:14] klotho, ahh, if you can help that'd be great, if not, np i'll head on over to ubuntu-server [04:14] I want to find out which particular package will provide a specific file, the package is not installed yet, is it possible through apt-cache search? This is sort of like rpm -q --what-provides query [04:15] pronto > i ask for change the envyng configuration and what envy make the update not i by hand [04:15] miranda_psi:What?! [04:15] Adrian2MiL8: oh sorry didnt see you were using envyng . don't know about that [04:16] i just install the drivers from the .bin you get at nvidia site [04:16] Bllasae: can you make your question more specific please - what are you saying what to? [04:16] naknomik: you use apt-file for that [04:16] pronto > ok don't worry but thanks for answer [04:16] pronto can you assist me with my issue? [04:16] jrib: it seems officially fucked up [04:16] shell? ls -al? [04:16] pyro2927: Please watch your language [04:17] k9copy hangs at 32 percent of ripping a dvd. any idea where i should start? [04:17] sektor1952: i do no know what your issue is [04:17] is there a system restore thing? [04:17] Flannel: sorry. wont happen again. didn't know it wasnt allowed here [04:17] Force deleting a locked file that I can't change permissions to, anyone? [04:18] Bllasae: shell - terminal command line (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), ls -al is a command saying to show all files in the detailed format [04:18] pyro2927: it shoudlnt be allowed anywhere if you ask me. [04:18] is there a way to make a live cd of the Ubuntu on the hard drive? [04:18] pronto , i have the new 181 .bin but i installed the 173 version with envyng and i believe what there is a posibility from a problem if i upgrade now by hand [04:18] anyone knows the ndiswrapper driver list website? [04:18] Adrian2MiL8: i have no idea, i've always installed the drivers by hand, and i'm running 180.22 [04:18] command not found [04:19] pronto > yes , sorry 180.22 i was say not 181 , 181 is on windows [04:19] Bllasae: did you put a space between the 'ls' and the '-al'? [04:20] Vantrax, sorry, link died for a second there. Did you know of a way of transferring free space into that virtual partition from its host real ntfs partition or would it just be easier to try something like lvpm to give the ubuntu install a real partition of its own (assuming lvpm works with 8.10, all references to it that I can find only mention 8.04 as the latest tested version) [04:20] miranda_psi: Alright, got it [04:20] What do I do now? [04:20] anyone here play battleforwesnoth ? [04:20] hi [04:21] Bllasae: did you run it in you firefox profile directory? [04:21] Is there amore efficient way to use an X app remotely, across a lan, than SSH forwarding? [04:21] Adrian2MiL8: my guess would be to uninstall envyng, that should work, though i'm not 100% sure what envyng does, since i have never used it [04:21] miranda-psi [04:21] No clue [04:21] My workstation - the "X server" - is a very, very thin machine, and the server with the apps I want is much more robust [04:21] I'm uninstalling FF and then reinstalling it [04:22] Well, guess I should have read the help file first. I'm off. [04:22] Bllasae: did you just put that command in straight after opening the terminal? [04:22] hi I have a chroot directory setup (with rsync in it)... if I "chroot " then execute "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" everything goes as planed :) but if I execute the command.... chroot "/usr/bin/rsync --daemon" I get the error chroot: cannot run command ... no such file or directory :( what am I doing wrong here ? [04:22] miranda_psi: from the desktop, yes [04:22] neil_d: well, is rsync in the chroot? [04:23] ping Vantrax you fall asleep 8-) [04:23] Bllasae: to get to the directory use the 'cd' command (e.g. cd .mozzila/firefox/) you can use tab to auto-complete [04:23] rdw200169: yes, and tested. [04:24] On my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code is not checked. What would I gain if I checked this button? [04:24] bullgard4: the ability to download the source code [04:24] the ability to download the source version of software packages already available in synaptic [04:24] bullgard4: 99% of ubuntu users don't need that [04:24] @bullgard4 nothing unless you want to complie apps on your own [04:24] hi all, can i modify the pc speaker system beep to play an actual sound file? i don't want to disable it but it's driving me nuts. [04:24] Bllasae: when you are in the firefox directory run 'ls -al lock .parentlock' [04:25] Barridus: I believe ALSA can redirect the beep [04:25] Why can't this be like windows [04:25] Without the commands and crap [04:26] Bllasae: go use Mac OS then, it's mostly open source, and doesn't require a terminal [04:26] or like mac with everything hidden? [04:26] I hate Macs [04:26] Bllasae: Because Linux isn't Windows. You can navigate directories and modify files graphically though. [04:26] Bllasae: I'd hate to lose all that flexibility and power [04:26] If anything, I'd stick with Windows [04:26] Bllasae: then go do that! [04:26] rdw200169, how is that accomplished? i don't see anything obvious in the sounds control panel, and google searches have been lacking [04:26] tritium: So far, I haven't experienced anything good, really, with Ubuntu [04:27] rdw200169: I do not believe you. I can download now source code using the 'sudo apt-get source ' command. [04:27] I thought ubuntu was supposed to be getting more maclike in terms of not requiring command line or config file editing [04:27] other way around [04:27] bullgard4: then the source lines are in your sources.list file [04:27] Bllasae: I have. Far more, in fact, than I ever could on Windows. [04:27] Bllasae: you could also go through nautilus as well - just make it harder for you to find the files im looking for [04:27] bullgard4: why are you so worried about it anyway? [04:27] * runner23 slaps Bllasae around a bit with a large trout [04:28] rdw200169: found the problem... not meant to use the quotes [04:28] Barridus: it's a rather obscure feature, if i'm not mistaken, that or it's in pulseaudio, i can't remember [04:28] OS arguments make children sad to be alive [04:28] lol [04:28] fdsfs: mac is getting more linux-like and will require command line and config file editing? [04:28] rdw200169: I like to understand better the programs which I am using. [04:28] I just caused a temporal rift in my toolbar when I completely removed Firefox [04:29] bullgard4: well, the source code system is rather simple, in terms of how you get it, in your sources.list file (/etc/apt) there are both deb lines and deb-src lines [04:29] bullgard4: if there are uncommented lines for deb-src, then you can download the source code from the applicably uncommented repositories [04:30] bullgard4: apt update downloades the packages.gz files for ea. repo, and thus it knows where to download stuff from, which is directly related to sources.list [04:30] miranda_psi: Parentlock doesn't exist [04:31] bullgard4: if you comment the lines for deb-src and perform a apt-get update, you won't be able to download source code anymore [04:31] Bllasae: use Dan's Guardian [04:31] I'm a first time user, and have a problem with installing Ubuntu Server 8.10 - is this the right forum ? [04:31] what's an evolution data server, and do I need it? [04:31] ? [04:31] Bllasae: is this from looking in nautilus? if so make sure you have show hidden files selected [04:32] rdw200169: I think that not only the file /etc/apt/sources.list is relevant but files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory reflect in the System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software also. [04:32] wtf is nautilus [04:32] bullgard4: of course, i was describing the simplest way possible [04:32] I have two beefs with Ubuntu! My mute button stopped working and no one seems to know why and for some reason my firefox bookmarks keeps messing up how firefox is displayed. I have to go through and remove each bookmark until it works again. [04:32] bullgard4: of course sources.list.d is included [04:32] Bllasae: the file system browser (similar to windows explorer) [04:32] Bllasae: it's like the windows file manager [04:32] also, I see that I have HP printing services running, which I don't need. how do I turn that off? [04:32] rdw200169, so if i switch from alsa to pulse audio, will it add an option box to the sound panel for the system beep? [04:32] alright [04:33] Barridus: not likely, pulse audio runs on top of alsa [04:33] Maybe this would be easier if you compared things to windows equivalents [04:33] Bllasae: Nautilus === Windows Explorer [04:33] Barridus: alsa is still in charge, pulse audio just provides mixing so 2 applications can output sound at the same time, among other things [04:33] Bllasae: i'll keep that in mind.... [04:33] i have a bluetooth dongle conected to my computer, but i the bluetooth device setup doesn't detect it, what can i do? [04:33] Bllasae: not all of us use Windows, so wouldn't know what to compare things to. [04:33] hey all. Can anyone tell me how to install the windows 7 Beta without disturbing Grub (and having it show up) or how to easily restore grub after the install? [04:33] !grub | nathan42100, first link [04:33] rdw200169, ok i'm with you so far [04:33] nathan42100, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:34] tritium: What did you use before Ubuntu? [04:34] Bllasae: further, linux has many things for which there is no Windows equivalent [04:34] nathan42100, i'm afraid that is impossible. there is though, a grub installer for windows, called wingrub [04:34] Bllasae: Debian [04:34] nathan42100: It's entirely likely that you can't do the former. Windows tends to assume its the only OS in the world [04:34] So this is easy for you [04:34] And Windows is easy for me [04:34] Barridus: this is about as far as I can go with you, before it gets *really* complicated, i would recommend reading up on ALSA and pulseaudio [04:34] wolter: thats pretty unecessary, reinstalling grub is about a 4-6sec job. [04:34] rdw200169: What do you mean by 'repo'? reproduction, repository, or what? [04:34] IndyGunFreak, ah. [04:34] YES! [04:34] I FIXED IT [04:35] w00t [04:35] bullgard4: repository [04:35] Bllasae: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] lol [04:35] Bllasae: with time linux will be easy for you to [04:35] Bllasae: good job :) [04:35] anyone had luck with the supergrub restore? [04:35] bullgard4: if you want to learn more, do some research about debian package management [04:35] miranda_Psi:thanks. darkdelusions:maybe [04:35] I don't really want to wait for 8.10 to download [04:35] I have a 64b Intrepid up-to-date laptop with a Radeon Xpress 200M - if the radeon drive ris used, the laptop fails to shut down with a BUG ON in mm/pat.c, but this is not the case if the fglrx driver is used. [04:35] Okay, so before I screw something up again, where do I put my bookmarks.html file? [04:36] @ Bllasae anywhere [04:36] your going to import it from the Bookmarks menu [04:36] I'm filing a bug about it - is there anthing special I should report beyond the lspci output? [04:36] When I have to use Windows at work, I feel totally handicapped. [04:36] rdw200169: I did, and I did it several times. One problem is that the documentation is not consistent and not free of errors and not written didactically. [04:36] Flannel: have you tried the supergrub restore? [04:37] @ Bllasae just remember where you put it [04:37] does it work well? [04:37] bullgard4: what are you finding so complicated? it's a rather simple system [04:37] nathan42100: I haven't; but it should work more or less the same. [04:37] how to pronounce this: I18N? [04:37] internationalization [04:37] rdw200169, ok fair enough. i was hoping it'd be a simple conf file edit. you definitely set me off in the right direction with the pulseaudio tip. thanks [04:38] haha, all right [04:38] funny abbreviation [04:38] MethodOne: the correct spelling is: internationalisation :P [04:38] ok hi im having a few problems with ubuntu.. i cant open any stuff i downlosed [04:39] Kyoaku: What are you downloading? [04:39] Kyoaku_Tatsu1: can you be more specific please? [04:39] miranda_psi: he's not incorrect [04:39] tritium: he is to anyone who isn't american [04:40] miranda_psi: no need to correct him to suit your preferences when he uses valid spelling [04:40] miranda_psi: Especially not here. [04:40] rdw200169: Let me proceed step by step. I would like now to know what would change if I asserted the System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software > Downloadable from the Internet > Source code button. Your answer " the ability to download the source code" above certainly is not correct. I told you that I am able to download source code even now when this button is unchecked. [04:40] English is an evolved language, containing aspects of ancient Greek, Latin, German, colonial English. So what if he's using a newer version than you? [04:41] Is it alright to place the $PATH system wide, instead of locallly? [04:41] bullgard4: disregard synaptic for a second, and check all the sources.list files [04:41] bullgard4: comment all the deb-src lines, and no more source code. period. [04:41] when running aptitude and it says it's removing packages, they often have a "{a}" or a "{u}" after it. The docs are horrible. Can anyone tell me what those mean or where in the docs I can make sense of this? [04:42] I'm using Irssi and I'm having issues with it not keeping much on the screen. The scrollbar is static so I lose a line of text after 30 or so more follow it. Is this terminal or the client? [04:42] tboydston: irssi has its own "window" that keeps track of the buffer. The scrollbar in the terminal itself won [04:43] !Post-Installation [04:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:43] tboydston: won't do anything. You may be able to scroll up and down with page-up/down, if not, you can use alt-p and alt-n for previous/next pages for scrolling [04:43] tboydston: Page up [04:43] flannel/quinn: Thanks guys, page up works fine! [04:44] eseven73: no foul language anywhere? [04:44] I am locked out of Synaptic in Ubuntu 8.10 because I set a password for it and don't know what it is now. Please help! [04:44] how can I scroll through a terminal??????????????? [04:44] well when i am downloading something like zune or something and then it finishes i click on it and it says it is unable to open it [04:45] jessid: I was just told to use page up and page down and that works fine for me [04:45] rdw200169: What do you mean by "and no more source code"? This is an ambiguous statement. What do you mean precisely with it? That I will no longer be able to download source code packages through the apt-get source mechanism? Or that there will exist no longer any source code in the world? Or what? [04:45] I am locked out of Synaptic in Ubuntu 8.10 because I set a password for it and don't know what it is now. Please help! [04:45] jessid: you can try shift+pgup [04:45] bullgard4: don't provoke, please [04:45] RegressLess: Its your user password. [04:46] RegressLess: its the same as your login password [04:46] don't work [04:46] Flannel: don't work [04:46] ziroday you are the best, man. Thanks a lot!!! [04:46] Flannel: don't listen to him. Keep your job! [04:46] Hello. [04:46] RegressLess: Did you just change it this session? [04:46] bullgard4: ok, let's play 'english major': If you delete the deb-src options from the sources.list files, you will no longer be able to download source code. This is after you perform and update, via apt-get update [04:46] I am installing ubuntu with RAID - I have the choice of raid0, raid1 and raid5 - is it possible to make raid0+1? [04:46] bullgard4: perform *an* update [04:46] tritium: I do not provoke. A factual question is no provocation. [04:46] Flannel: no, a few sessions ago, :( I goofed it up when I set it I guess [04:47] Can someone who is really good with nautilus MSG me please? [04:47] I have Ubuntu installed on my new server. When I boot the system it says there's no operating system. It has 2 SATA drives, and had Windows XP on it first, however that has since been deleted. I can't boot to the new live CD because the graphics driver is incompatible and it doesn't want to load up. I can't boot to the older live CDs or the kernel panics for some reason. How can I fix GRUB? [04:47] bullgard4: questions are not factual by their very nature. [04:47] rdw200169: The attitude isn't really necessary. [04:47] hello all of you [04:47] WetWired_ALUG: ask here and we can all help out :) [04:47] RegressLess: If you set it a few sessions ago but don't know it, how did you log in to this session? [04:47] howdy folks. how do I install m$ office under qemu?..have win xp already installed [04:47] all 1300 of us [04:47] regressless: If you go into the GRUB and do recovery-mode you can change the password with 'passwd master' says a post on the forums [04:48] Ok, nautilus recognises .jpg but not .JPG, how can I change it so it'll do both? [04:48] WetWired_ALUG: nautilus doesn't find the program type from the filename, it works it out by actually looking at the file [04:48] uber_noober, openoffice is the equivalent of ms office [04:48] tboydston, RegressLess: he mentions the method outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword but I'm still not sure how you managed to log in. [04:48] rdw200169: Ah, ok, understood. Thank you for explaining. [04:48] WetWired_ALUG: try checking the program the extensions are registered with and make them the same (only guessing) [04:49] hi, where is rc.conf in ubuntu to change startup [04:49] anybody knows about hostap and hostapd modules [04:49] Flannel: because it's not the same as my user password. In 8.10, it shows Synaptic User as a separate user which you can set a separate password. [04:49] roger I know, but I'm trying to install it on someone else's system who insists on having it [04:49] i really just need to know why my computer is saying there is an error when i try to open something i downloaded like Zune [04:50] so far managed to get xp running in virtual mode, but no idea how to get ms office installed [04:50] It usually only happens when I'm uploading files to something like myspace. It won't display any of the files with the uppercase JPG, but once I rename them to lowercase it will. Then I can upload them. Problem is, my camera takes the picutres in uppercase, and it's a real pain always having to rename all of the files. [04:50] Kyoaku: is Zune a windows program? [04:50] djambsd: ubuntu/debian use update-rc.d. instead. If you want, sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, and use the tool you asked about. [04:50] Has anyone encountered an error when installing the base-system in 8.10 server ? [04:50] I'm also setting up a SW raid1 === stephen is now known as Guest79097 [04:51] Miranda: yes it is [04:51] to remove gnome default from system i use apt-get remove gnome? [04:51] tritium and Flannel, thanks [04:51] Kyoaku: then that is why - Linux doesn't know how to run such programs. You can try installing wine and see if that gets you going [04:51] can I run "fsck" at anytime to check on a possible problem or will this cause issues in Ubuntu? [04:51] hello. Might anyone redirect me to a channel for help on Windows? [04:52] Miranada: what is wine? [04:52] Drace: #window [04:52] Drace #windows [04:52] !wine | Kyoaku_Tatsu1 [04:52] Kyoaku_Tatsu1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [04:53] So is there a file somewhere that lists all of the file extentions nautilus recognises? I could just add the uppercase JPG and it should work [04:53] ehh window is empty... [04:53] Miranda: thanks ill try it out and see if it works! [04:53] marabout_: only when the partition is not mounted [04:53] how can i get a window in screen that is split halfway horizontally INSTEAD of a screen session split horizontally in which i must load individual windows and the split permeates through the whole session? from what i can tell, it only does splits a whole session horizontally in which you must load windows to each splitted area... not the other way around, where i want to load a session, have only 1 window split halfway [04:53] Kyoaku: good luck [04:53] #window is empty. Is it on the same server...? [04:53] # [04:54] quick question, some themes allow the windows to be double stacked, how can i make this happen on all my themes? [04:54] WetWired_ALUG: file extensions are irrelevant. Who's to say you can't rename a .doc as a .jpg? That doesn't make it a JPEG image. [04:54] Drace, /join #Windows [04:54] Qemu help anyone?

Here, I'll take a screeshot [04:55] is tcp/ip protocol available in ubuntu 8.10 [04:55] WetWired_ALUG: right click on a file with the JPG extension and go to the 'open with' tab and set it to be the same as the the normal jpg extension one [04:55] Gnea: it will cause issues when the partition is not mounted or I can/should only run "fsck" when the partition is not mounted... [04:55] is tcp/ip protocol available in ubuntu 8.10 ? [04:55] leohartx: of course [04:55] tritium: ty [04:55] does amsn support voice chat for ubuntu?

Iknoe that some aspects of this have been addresed already. However, everything was fine untill I ran a software update about two days ago. I would appreciate any suggestions. And yes I am new to Linux [04:56] WetWired_ALUG: what option don't yo see? the open with tab? [04:56] miranda_psi: I see that, I don't see where to set it as the same [04:57] WetWired_ALUG: you will have to look up the jpg one and then use that same option in the JPG one [04:57] wetWired: Here's a forum post with a solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151650 [04:57] some themes allow the windows to be double stacked, how can i make this happen on all my themes?

I click upload, and it brings up the nautlius window [05:00] about the os totally freezing and the caps lock and scroll lock blinking. but the strange thing is, non of this happened untill I updated software. I was told that it was a wireless networking problem, but that does not make any sense to me [05:00] what is the ubuntu help channle named [05:00] Guest79097: do you have an intel wireless card?

[05:07] WetWired: you cant add JPG to the list as it is provided my myspace - you can try and ask them to add it or you could delve into the nautilus source code and make its filtering case insensitive :) [05:07] hi does rar file work in Ubuntu [05:08] !rar [05:08] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[05:19] linux_trojan you may need to change permissions of the 1396 device, theres a lot of how tos around, [05:19] greatcaffeine: you do need the -28 kernel, but i beleive ext4 is just an extension to ext3...

[05:41] it just automounts and gives me the option of opening in a folder [05:41] once the cd is in, i think synaptic gives you the option to add a repository on a cd [05:41] i haven't tried it though [05:41] Does anyone know if i can run the ubuntu install CD on a computer with a HD formatted in FAT32 whether Ubuntu will correct the format (i.e. initialize) and then install itself? [05:41] yeah ..you right ...bet are betters [05:42] cinco29: in a terminal try 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get install googleearth' [05:42] ok [05:42] reading package list ...done [05:43] marabout_, yes the ubuntu install cd will create a partition and format it as it needs [05:43] Anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to connect to a WEP, passphrased WLAN with 8.04? I know the passphrase, and there isn't MAC filtering. [05:43] then says error could not open l;ock file [05:43] though you'll have to specify the partition size [05:43] then unable to lock admin dir [05:43] cinco29: close package manger [05:43] manager* === sol1d is now known as l1d [05:43] i dont have that opened [05:44] justterminal and firefox [05:44] you need sudo in front of the apt-get install cinco29 [05:44] you did sudo before anything? [05:44] sudo ___ && sudo ___ [05:44] yes it has sudo [05:45] i did as u wrote. [05:45] anyone know how change the envyng configuration for change driver version ??? [05:45] Hammerjak: Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to achieve that via a web (command line) install or just with the CD? [05:45] try sudo apt-get install googleearth [05:45] Anybody know what the best supported onboard graphics chip is under Ubuntu? Looking to build an inexpensive MicroATX machine. [05:45] marabout_, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' should do it [05:46] oh, no i don't know marabout_ [05:46] does anyone here have any experience with framerate issues with fceultra? my laptop is more than capable to run it and other emulators such as zsnes don't have any problems at all [05:46] i think what the onboards ati and nvidia chips work fine [05:46] that did it seven [05:46] :) [05:46] cinco29: type ese and press TAB key [05:46] rogermudd: Depends on what you want to do. AMD's 780g chipset's pretty nice on Windows, I haven't tried Linux on it yet - but supports VGA + (DVI,HDMI,DisplayPort) (pick one of the latter set at a time) at once. [05:47] easier that way cinco29 :) [05:47] there is a cheaps mobos for amd with ati and nvidia chips [05:47] can someone help me configure my seagate freeagent pro I used gparted and formatted it to ext3 but it wont let me write anything to it, I have checked the permissions and they all allow read/write [05:47] rogermudd: the intel integrated chipsets work great, X3100, X3500... and have open source 3d drivers [05:47] Adrian2Mil8 Thanks. Intel out of the question? They seem to have the lion's share of the market. [05:47] seven it just finished setting up google earth 4.3 [05:48] type googleearth in a terminal [05:48] rogermudd: don't go with Intel integrated graphics if high-performance 3D gaming is something you want to do [05:48] or go Applications -> Internet [05:48] i'm not probe with intel onboard vga's yet === dmb_ is now known as _dmb [05:48] Hammerjak: GUI is a last resort :) [05:48] ah :) [05:48] i got a window with google earth update suggestion [05:49] GUI is the future !!!! [05:49] Hammerjak: well I have an old machine that has Windows (98?) on it and is a FAT formatted HD so just trying to figure that best course of action. CD drive not reading CD's so i gotta try something different... === _dmb is now known as libdmb [05:49] nice... umm is it 4.2 cinco29 ? [05:49] yup [05:49] ok [05:49] it says current one installed is 4.2 newer version is 4.3 [05:49] marabout_, if you can't read cd's i don't know how you can do it then [05:49] Not really looking to go heavy in to 3D. Maybe some basic Blender stuff. Perhaps a fanless dedicated card is the answer. I'm hoping for a relatively silent machine. [05:49] the system is too old to have a 'boot from usb' option [05:50] and i doubt win98 supports the wubi windows installer [05:50] cinco29: I'm not sure if upgrading will mess it up or not...up to you at this point. [05:50] nah im cool with this [05:51] i dont liek to upgrade unless there has been at least 2-3 latest version [05:51] Me personally have a phobia of upgrading anything. [05:51] Hammerjak: yeah. I guess I research some zip drive install possibilities. Thanks [05:51] cinco29: wise choice :) [05:51] Hammerjak: *I'll [05:51] u use that word but my word is paranoid lol [05:51] hehe [05:51] np [05:51] but hey i thank thee for thy help...:o) [05:52] and roger as well. [05:52] anytime [05:52] tritium: helped you too :) [05:52] now let me see if i can find myself on google earth [05:52] tritium thank u === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [05:53] ALL: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Don't Let the (Ubuntu) bugs bite... :) [05:53] i love this os. its incredible. [05:53] im actually planning on ordering an ubuntu cd or dvd would be better [05:54] cinco29: no problem! [05:55] We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed. [05:55] This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal [05:55] circumstances. A bug report and debugging data are now being written [05:55] to this text file: [05:55] cinco29: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] look what i got [05:55] oh noes [05:55] sorrry [05:55] what is the RAID software during ubuntu alternate install? [05:55] what sort of graphics card do you have cinco29 ? [05:55] onboard lol [05:55] ouch [05:55] intel i think [05:56] cinco29: you should turn off compiz if it's enabled [05:56] but ive used google earth on windows [05:56] ohhh snaps yes it is [05:56] lol that would do it [05:57] okay i set my appearance to none [05:57] what vga crad you have ??? [05:57] thnk u taji [05:57] cinco29: if you have firefox running kill that too, firefox likes to hog about 10-20% cpu (even more sometimes) and a lot of ram [05:57] what vga card you have ??? [05:58] my vga card is onboard [05:58] ok....but ...what ????? [05:58] intel i think [05:58] I'm curious about compiz? [05:58] Can someone tell me if there's a Flash Player x64? [05:59] Hey, I can't get the intrepid livecd to work on my machine it just keeps comming up with initramfs... i think it's something to do with the on-board video and i don't have another video card [05:59] open a console and type lspci | grep VGA [05:59] Ikan: there is an alpha stage player [05:59] either that, can someone help me to re-install my grub.. it keeps coming up with a grub read error [05:59] Where would I be able to get said alpha stage player? [05:59] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [05:59] i got that same chip in my lappy [06:00] cinco29 > yes a old intel vga card [06:00] im trying to upgrade [06:00] but on this pc i only have pci thats it [06:00] and I've followed this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [06:01] cinco29 > upsss ...you have a problem !

I really liked [06:03] MIRC [06:03] well my brother gave me a nice agp card but my only pc doesnt have that slot [06:03] hmm not sure why i can find the answer but how to i list all users and groups in terminal? [06:03] cinco29: my nvidia 5200 pci runs google earth pretty darn slow (unless i have no filters enabled) and even then) so I'm guessing you have to have a AGP at least like Adrian2MiL8 said [06:03] I'm having problems starting X, I get an error saying "Error setting MTRR (base = 0xe8000000, size = 0x02000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)" [06:03] and the only fix is get a older nvidia gforce pci card [06:03] "users" only lists logged in users? [06:04] fakhir: cat /etc/passwd; cat /etc/group [06:04] Adrian2MiL8: what is supergrub [06:04] dw, i'll google it [06:04] you right [06:04] KCCarnage: mirc is like xchat [06:04] ima search for one right now [06:04] a cdrom booteable version of grub for make fixes [06:05] thx binary [06:05] np [06:05] go google search supergrub [06:06] Adrian2MiL8: yeah, dl'd it already [06:06] hey adrian im using google earth right now and it looks and runs better than when im in windows === Dvyjones_ is now known as Dvyjones [06:07] what run better than windows it's not amazing [06:07] Whoever just helped me out a second ago with x64 flash, thank you.

[06:18] how do i do that [06:19] I have two beefs with Ubuntu! My mute button stopped working and no one seems to know why and for some reason my firefox bookmarks keeps messing up how firefox is displayed. I have to go through and remove each bookmark until it works again. [06:19] luig1: erm emergencies are hard to prepare for :), probably how to install/remove apps with apt-get or aptitude [06:19] hey adrian u wanna talk some more. bout anything ill be in ubuntu offtopic [06:19] I do that all the time ziroday, I meant like stuck-wothout-X emergencies.

[06:20] NO. [06:20] No* [06:20] luig1: as well as to start X the command is startx [06:20] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/104711 [06:20] binarymutant: lookin [06:20] thanks [06:21] Jerr > sorry i don't see you question ...what pack [06:21] binarymutant: there are no errors there, and sudo /etc/init.d/?dm doesn't work [06:22] luig1: you might want to install pastebinit, its a command that pastebins a bit of text [06:22] What is differences in simple-ccsm + compizconfig-settings-manager ? [06:22] you known how to change envyng configuration for update from 173 to 180 driver ?? [06:22] kinja-sheep: simple-ccsm does not have all the options that ccsm does, however its simpler :) [06:22] Adrian2MiL8: that is not advised, see !latest to understand why [06:23] Adrian2MiL8: why do you need the latest nvidia drivers? [06:23] ziroday: So I'd prefer the second choice then. More power to the *nux, eh? [06:23] kinja-sheep: sure [06:23] only i want try [06:23] is there a program that will show a photo frame like windows vista has in its sidebar? [06:23] Adrian2MiL8: upgrading to new graphics drivers can _really_ mess up your system. Upgrading just to try is never a good idea [06:23] ziroday > maybe speed up the compiz effects [06:24] Flannel: hey! I successfully upgraded to 7.04 but when I try to upgrade to 7.10 I get the same "no valid mirror" error. Any hints? [06:24] pyro2927: take a look at screenlets or gdesklets for GNOME [06:24] Adrian2MiL8: it most probably won't. Its better to wait until the next version of ubuntu with it in [06:25] ziroday: thanks! [06:25] ziroday: Cool. I'm about to test out the stuffs -- Emerald is a theme -- Can it be used on compiz ? Or is it same as.. metacity, emerald, compiz? (for compare). [06:25] or anyone else with a hint [06:25] pyro2927: I personally recommend screenlets [06:25] when i logon into gnome there is for a few secons a horrous black squares until the destop finish to load with the gadgets awn and more [06:26] kinja-sheep: emerald is a window manager that is run with compiz. However it is buggy, unstable and unmaintained. Its not advised to use it [06:27] ziroday: Wait... Not advised to use Emerald, but CompizFusion is stable... correct? [06:27] can rhythmbox connect to a mpd server? [06:27] kinja-sheep: correct [06:27] when i logon into gnome there is for a few seconds a horrous black squares until the desktop finish to load with the gadgets awn and more [06:28] i think what maybe is the 173 driver with my nv 8800gt [06:28] Adrian2MiL8: the new drivers are unlikely to fix that. However if you must try them out there is a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~thomas-creutz/+archive [06:29] ziroday: Thank you. This seems very straightforward. I thought I'd have to do some kind of compiz --replace command? [06:29] how can i get my ubuntu livecd to boot up when I do all the right things and it gets to "busybox initremfs" [06:29] hmm .... looking.. [06:29] initram* [06:29] kinja-sheep: to start emerald? [06:29] ziroday: No emerald. Replace metacity with compiz? [06:29] I'm getting: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80] [06:29] compiz-fusion* [06:29] i want to install yahoo messenger on my system [06:29] so how do I change that? [06:30] when i try to install it says this pkg cant be installed or installable [06:30] kinja-sheep: then you can do compiz --replace or go to System > Pref > Appearance > Visual Effects and select Normal or Extra [06:31] i'm looking you link and there is for intrepid and jaunty but i have installed hardy [06:31] Adrian2MiL8: the -180 drivers will not work on hardy. [06:32] I have a dpkg error can someone help me correct it? [06:32] Galadx: may we know what it is :) [06:32] are you sure ?? why ?? [06:32] Adrian2MiL8: because its packages are too out of date. It may work but not easily and will wreck your system [06:32] klotho: edgy is out of date, end of life [06:32] Adrian2MiL8: the only way is to download the actual drivers from nvidia.com [06:33] does any one know if rhythmbox can connect to a mpd server? [06:33] What are some really good fast paced country songs that would get a crowd going. Must be sung by males. Simmilar to Heartland by George Strait [06:33] ziroday: E: dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem [06:33] i have hardy updated at today with the lastest updates [06:33] parvo: it can't afaik [06:33] realmatt: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:33] realmatt, wrong channel [06:33] it won't let me install anything [06:33] oh my bad [06:33] Galadx: did you run dpkg --configure-a ? [06:33] Adrian2MiL8: that doesn't mean it has the latest version of the packages [06:33] i opened up terminal and typed it in, but it says i need to be superuser [06:33] !latest | Adrian2MiL8 [06:33] Adrian2MiL8: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [06:34] ziroday: I'm confused. This mean I'm running Compiz or CompizFusion now? I'm gunning for CompizFusion. [06:34] Galadx: try do sudo dpkg --configure-a [06:34] hi [06:34] kinja-sheep: it means you are running compiz fusion [06:34] Galadx, sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a (space there) [06:34] Galadx: I made a typo, what nickrud said [06:34] ziroday: Thank you. Now I have to test many neato features. :) [06:34] Anyone here have FreeNX Server running on their ubuntu box? [06:34] nickrud: thanks [06:34] ziroday: i tried several times, it just tells me i need to be a superuser [06:35] y have downloaded already the 180.22 package from nvidia but the actual 173 driver was installed using envyng ..this it's why my dude from running the nvidia package by hand [06:35] ziroday, np, I stay in channel for the same reasons ;) === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:35] Adrian2MiL8: you are not making sense [06:35] does anybody know if there is a channel supporting webwin/virtualmin ? [06:35] place it in the terminal? [06:36] the media players that come presinstalled on ubuntu, aren't very cool looking ... what is a good media player that has a cool looking interface? [06:36] Galadx: in a terminal type in sudo dpkg --configure -a and then it will ask you for your password [06:36] ryanCH: what do you mean by 'cool'? [06:36] ryanCH: you can take a look at songbird or banshee [06:36] How do I tell if FreeNX server is running? [06:36] jerr: ps x ? [06:36] ryanCH: however cool does have a price, usually stability [06:37] yeah, i know ;p [06:37] binarymutant: that will list all running aps? [06:37] this is because i try to find the way modify envyng configuration by running update from there [06:37] jerr: ps aux I think [06:38] Adrian2MiL8: then you need to talk to the envy-ng author(s) === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:38] jerr: with a sudo in front of course; sudo ps aux [06:38] yes maybe [06:38] ryanCH: you can try amarok as well - its at least powerful :) [06:38] says it doesn't reconize the command [06:39] Galadx: what did you type in? [06:39] binarymutant: You know anything about FreeNX? [06:39] miranda_psi, thanks :) [06:39] hello [06:39] jerr: is that a HTTP server? [06:39] what's the main things that changed in ubuntu in the last 12 months? [06:39] nvm, i had a spelling error [06:39] jerr: no, but isn't it a cluster daemon? [06:40] Its something like VNC, yet on the NX engine. [06:40] oh wait... thats the nomachine thing. [06:40] i did an apt-get kubuntu-desktop and i was wondering, now that i have uninstalled it, how do i get my menu's in ubuntu back without reinstalling? [06:40] yeah used it. Its fun.

[06:46] elphias: yes, its to make sure that other stuffs don't get autoremoved [06:46] can anyone help me with an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10? I'm getting the same problems as the last upgrade: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [06:46] Can anyone help me? My navigation bar in firefox isn't working properly. The address bar doesn't update, the homepage doesn't load at startup (and when I click the button it goes to mozilla.org) and the back/forward/refresh buttons do not work. I tried disabling all addons and reinstalling firefox, but that didn't help. (Using Ubuntu 8.10, 64-bit) [06:47] jerr: yeah sure. [06:47] why 7.04 to 7.10 and not 7.04 to 8.10 ??? [06:47] klotho: gutsy woudn't be there as its not EOL [06:47] Adrian2MiL8: I thought I had to do 7.10 first [06:47] if I can go straight to 8.10 that would be great... how do I do that? [06:48] Adrian2MiL8: you can't do that. You can only go from LTS to LTS [06:48] any links to download the alt 710 disc ? [06:48] ziroday: ok 2 of the things ubotu said where not on the system and ubuntu-desktop reports the most current version...does it matter that i am using 8.10? [06:48] i think you should make a simple dist upgrade [06:48] Adrian2MiL8: cool, how do I do that? [06:48] elphias: thats fine, it should of got rid of every kde app for you though [06:49] Is there an excellent local-to-local communication? Something easy. [06:49] klotho: I did an upgrade and much of my stuff stopped working , could not read NTFS drive and some programs did not work any longer [06:49] text-based communication. Pidgin is network-oriented. How about something for local-oriented (like... 192.168.1.* only) ? [06:49] grayhane: so you're saying version 8 is problematic? [06:50] can someone help me restore my partitions from what is now seen as empty space? [06:50] kinja-sheep: ipmessenger [06:50] something called speedcrunch and pulse audio device chooser still exists, as well as konversation, but it seems that all the other things went poofle though [06:50] miranda_psi: Will check it out. [06:50] klotho: Yes it was for me on 3 different boxes, I an staying with 710 for now [06:50] grayhane: cool, thanks for the warning [06:50] elphias: thats correct. The other apps you need to remove yourself [06:50] klotho > open a terminal ant type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:51] miranda_psi: It's not in the repos ? [06:51] hey how can I get ubuntu to recognize a wifi PC card? [06:51] ziroday: alrighty ^_^ ill do that and hopefully things go back to normal, i like kde, but it dosen't like some of the 3rd party apps i use, ubuntu seems much more freindlyer with them [06:52] ziroday: and thankies for yer help ^_^ [06:52] klotho: there are lists somewhere that tell you how compatible your card is with ubuntu [06:52] hi [06:52] why ubuntu dosent work [06:52] they should give you instructions, look here [06:52] hello [06:52] elphias: np [06:52] phixxor: I know, but how do I get it to recognize the card? [06:52] !wifi | klotho [06:52] klotho: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:52] kinja-sheep: no [06:52] cool [06:52] klotho: it depends on the card. sometimes you have to use ndiswrapper, sometimes you can use a native driver [06:52] there is a way for use windows .sys wifi drivers in linux through ndiswarapper i believe [06:53] hi!! why ubuntu dosent work?! [06:53] ok, so I still have sources.list problems. I'm getting W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://old-releases.ubuntu.com edgy-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/old-releases.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages) [06:53] how do I get a working sources.list for 7.10? [06:53] or rather 7.04 [06:53] kinja-sheep: there is also a linux version and I think its linked to on the same page - and there are a couple of them and only one is any good [06:53] so I can upgrade to 7.10 [06:54] klotho> read this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades [06:54] !ask > frootcaek [06:54] frootcaek, please see my private message [06:54] somebody help me please... i'm using hardy, kde. how do i assign a keyboard shortcut to the application launcher? [06:54] sorry i dont accept pvt. msgs. [06:54] can someone help me restore my partitions? I used to have an extended partition with logical partitions on it, but due to a quick mistake it looks like empty space now. can I get them back? [06:54] unless their from freinds [06:54] klotho > and follow the instructions [06:54] thanks but that page refers to 6.06 and I'm on 7.04 [06:54] quibbler: plz. type in public why ubuntu dosent work?! [06:55] phixxornot sur---i had same problem, i just reformated the entire computer [06:55] !upgrade | klotho try following this instead [06:55] klotho try following this instead: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:55] rolle: heh, I am hoping it won't come to that [06:55] i tried to extend the partition but it failed [06:56] the process is the same only change dapper for you release name [06:56] so i just figured what the hell backup all the information and did it [06:56] miranda_psi: Got it. I'll look around. Thanks. :) [06:56] but good luck mate [06:56] Adrian2MiL8: the process is not the same. Please stop giving incorrect advice. You can only jump upgrades from LTS to LTS [06:56] ubuntu should have a partition manager thingy that you might be able to mess around with [06:57] i believe the app launcher in kde4 is called 'kickoff'? anyone know how to assign a keyboard shortcut to it? [06:57] frootcaek, what exacly is the problem [06:57] why does the installation requirements for ubuntu say it takes a minimum of 256 MiB of memory? what's MiB [06:57] kerry_: ask in #kubuntu [06:57] Anyone know where I can find the xchat config files? [06:57] rolle: looking back, I should have made a backup [06:57] what's the default port for a remote X session? [06:57] OMG so many questions, lol [06:57] whatev: its a measurement of computer memory. You need 256 Megabytes of ram to run ubuntu [06:58] phixxor: what kind of filesystem are you working with [06:58] when make a dist-upgrade the system should download the right packages i believe [06:58] KCCarnage: ~/.xchat2 [06:58] Adrian2MiL8: it doesn't, the procedure is outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:58] whatev: Mib is megabytes [06:58] gdm isn't working for me, the keyboard and mouse do not work resulting in a hard reboot, whenever I try to start X directly I get an MTRR error [06:58] there's no i in megabytes though i dont get it [06:59] I have the tar.gz of gipmsg. The arch is for i386. However, I'm using amd64. Is this conflicting? [06:59] grayhane: the extended partition used to be some empty space and 3 logical partitons. [ {empty} {reiserfs} {ext3} {ext2} ] [06:59] ziroday: hey is the pulse audio device chooser something that will make useing pulse in ubuntu better? [06:59] kinja-sheep: is that the source? or a binary? [06:59] kinja-sheep, no, it should work fine [06:59] is there data on one that you need / [06:59] elphias: not really, but it shows you more option about it [06:59] miranda_psi: Seems like the source. [06:59] whatev:Mib is actually mebi bytes [07:00] kinja-sheep: if its source then its fine [07:00] Whatev:Just to avoid confusion we call it as Megabytes [07:00] grayhane: yes, the ext3 partition was my /home, which I need back for sure. [07:00] !source [07:00] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get.

If I add enough bookmarks the title bar disappears and the program flashes every time I do something.

[07:05] :No [07:05] kalvin_: like the options in System->Appearance [07:05] which version of firefox [07:05] when i change them to None, its just blurry now [07:06] kalvin_: how old is your video card?

[07:08] kalvin_: you need a good computer to use wine, it's heavy on the system [07:09] !feisty | SG_ [07:09] SG_: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu.

I have ubuntu 8.10 and yesterday I performed the latest update. Now I can't login on my machine anymore. I can't login via gdm or via a console. As soon as I login I directly get the logon screen again. What can this be and how can I solve it? [07:09] SG_: It's been moved to a historical server, which is still available, but really only for upgrading out of it. [07:09] If only your firefox titlebar is disappeearing, try hitting F11 two times whenever the titlebar disappears, and see if it brings it back [07:09] kalvin_: :( [07:09] Any excellent voice-to-text apps? Writing a story verbally.... Writing a theory by voicing out my thoughts.... Confessing to a murder. [07:09] kranny what was that?

It's an LTS, so its supported 3/5 on desktop/server (and you can upgrade straight to the next LTS, which is scheduled for 10.04) === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [07:11] at least its fixed [07:11] Kranny that fixed it! I was on here for hours trying to deal with that. We had to just start over. [07:11] Flannel : yep, thats the plan [07:11] kranny what does f11 do? [07:11] F11 is for maximising you firefox [07:11] So ur problem solved now? [07:12] Kranny yes thank you so much.

Sorry [07:13] hey would anyone here recommend a good firewall for just a standalone ubuntu desktop with one internet connection to a idsl router? [07:13] kalvin_: I like ktorrent [07:13] :If ever your other windows title bar disappear try hitting alt+f2 and compiz --replace [07:13] kalvin_: transmission is installed by default I think [07:14] Evn that could save you hours :P [07:14] yeah, are they comparable to utorrent? [07:14] kranny thank you. do you know anything media buttons? like mute buttons on a laptop? I installed ibex and my mute button stopped working. [07:15] kalvin_: I've never used utorrent [07:15] yeah, I've used k and utorrent. [07:15] im a windows guy, just learning this linux stuff, there are a lot of things to grasp, but im enjoying it [07:15] ktorrent seemed to bug out on me too much [07:15] deluge works 100% for me. === uwpdc[32 is now known as qqx [07:16] Laptop model?

[07:48] is it ok to install Java 64bit from "restricted extras" or am i better off going to java's site? [07:49] THere's no app for ubuntu that lets you limit the ul/dl speed of individual applications? [07:49] kranny the interesting thing is that the mute image doesn't flash up. That means that it's not getting through somewhere. [07:49] workingchair, gui usage for sudo [07:49] workingchair, the GTK frontend to su/sudo === irc is now known as Guest11754 === Guest11754 is now known as Martian [07:50] gk just allows you to leave the app open after closing the terminal [07:50] gksudo or sudo will work [07:50] mrnoogle, no, gksudo does more than that - it sets the environment up appropriately for GUI apps [07:50] anybody know why i can use kubnto 8.10 fine in recovery mode, but it doesnt work in generic mode [07:50] i've downloaded the recommend drivers but it still doesnt work [07:51] kubunto* [07:51] mrnoogle, using sudo does not do that, and it is possible for those GUI apps to write files in your homedir that are owned by the superuser -- which is not a good thing.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:52] mrnoogle: i think some programs do more commands within the program than just edit text.

[08:14] BlackDex: well, you mean suspend and resume, which i never use on a desktop [08:14] BlackDex: are you on a laptop [08:14] rdw200169: No it is a new desktop system [08:14] BlackDex: then why bother with suspend ? [08:15] rdw200169: I don't [08:15] BlackDex: acpi is not related to shutdown [08:15] but i thought ACPI did more then just suspend [08:15] BlackDex: it's mostly related to that [08:15] acpi is sometimes controled by BIOS too isn't it? [08:15] join azureusi am using ubuntu 8.10 gnome 32bit, azureus unable to update to version 4 ??? [08:16] arghh2d2: BlackDex, it's primarily related to the BIOS and Motherboard [08:16] i can't turn off ACPI from BIOS, because there has to be Windows on it.. (Which is already installed) [08:16] BlackDex: no, i mean turning off ACPI in the linux kernel === scancast is now known as SixShot [08:17] Hi people.

What can I do?]] [08:17] BlackDex: it's a common problem (acpi) and it's relatively easy to turn off during boot, or live cd === SixShot is now known as SatScan [08:17] just add acpi=off right?

And now it stops at 'Starting bluetooth' [08:20] I don't use samba [08:20] but there is no bluetooth on the system :S [08:21] BezNalogov: error you pasted says its a pam_smbpass blowing up, which is a samba lib [08:21] BexNalogov: samba is installed by default, though I don't know why it would cause any problems if you dont use it [08:21] BlackDex: wow, Phenom [08:21] I see, thanks [08:21] Then I will try that [08:21] rdw200169: Indeed :) [08:22] BlackDex: that sucker's so new, there's nothing in a google search! (surprising, indeed!) [08:22] Specs are greate [08:22] BezNalogov: read carefully, theres several suggestions how to get rid of segfault with that particular smb lib [08:22] BlackDex: ok, here's the bad news, [08:22] to new im afraid ? :( [08:22] BlackDex: yup [08:23] BlackDex: you're likely going to have to wait until the Kernel community has caught up and released new open source 'drivers' that support your motherboard [08:23] Fedora has the same problem so i knew it isn't just an ubuntu thing === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:24] BlackDex: it *will* be supported, it just takes time, particularly since Acer doesn't support open source [08:24] hmm [08:24] BlackDex: now, if you had a Dell, for example, the likelyhood that it would be supported would be higher, b/c the CEO of Dell is a Ubuntu-er [08:24] i just try'd to add acpi=oldboot, also no go [08:24] ah [08:24] hehe [08:24] My old system (this one) is a Dell [08:25] BlackDex: they even have, (or had), a line of Ubuntu Computers [08:25] how about that Ext4 ? [08:25] yeah i have a dell ubuntu box. [08:25] laptop [08:25] rdw200169: Is there a way to prevent bluetooth module from starting on the live cd? [08:25] epictetus: woot! [08:26] dell's ubuntu support is annoying though -- they only offer it on limited models [08:26] BlackDex: not that I know of, then again, i always perform my installation via the alternate cd [08:26] dell actually sells more redhat than ubuntu, you can get redhat preinstalled on pretty much every Dell server [08:27] like, it is a standard option [08:27] while ubuntu's only on a few limited models [08:27] epictetus: which consequentially guarantees that *most* linux distros will work on dells hardware-wise [08:27] rdw200169: But the only diff is it is text based right? [08:27] BlackDex: yup [08:28] BlackDex: i'm a server guy, so everything i prefer is text-based ;) [08:29] Why can i boot ubuntu 7.10 livecd with failsafe graphics, but not ubuntu 8.10? [08:29] BlackDex: I prefer the text install b/c I can, in another tty, view the full dmesg output of installation steps [08:29] rdw200169: Ah.. well i don't mind text.. used to it from redhat etc.. [08:30] Hello, I just installed the Xubuntu 9.04 alpha, and I can't seem to reach the desktop... After the login window, I just get a blank screen. Any ideas?

[09:14] savvas: find . -name *.html -delete is the best [09:14] Scix: look it up in synaptic [09:14] ok.

[09:17] NetTalk: when are yo uneeding this authentication? [09:17] fuzeboxsoftware: one thing I would say tho, my model of printer was not listed as being supported in the driver, but I experimented with a few model selections, and found that selecting an earlier model worked fine [09:17] Hi matt0 [09:18] fuzeboxsoftware: is there a driver on the canon site? [09:18] Hello erUSUL [09:18] how can i select a model? [09:18] fuzeboxsoftware: what does linuxprinting.org report for your printer support? is it fully supported?

[09:25] if you add your printer on Windows as a network printer and use the correct address location it will print from windows via CUPS [09:26] I do this on my wifi XP laptop..wireless printing is cool [09:26] can use any printer on my network via my laptop [09:26] nerges yes [09:27] http://192.168.1.101:631/printers/HPLaserJet2300 [09:27] I've samsung stupid printer, its so buggy.

[09:48] perlmonkey: tell me when done [09:48] ok [09:48] Hi. I am trying out the LiveCD but I have a resolution problem. It is like 720x400 and I cannot change it. Even hard to change because the dialog is outside the screen!! What should I do? I cannot even try out programs because of this (do nto fit the sceren). === kegles is now known as natan [09:49] savvas: tis done === natan is now known as kegles [09:49] When you press the power button during the login screen, the machine will shut down. Is there a way to disable this behaviour? [09:49] perlmonkey: now this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-key net-update [09:50] savvas: only test.. please.. change your nickname 1 minute ;)) [09:50] Martin_vW: do you have to hold it down or does it just turn straight off === savvas is now known as savvas_ [09:50] savvas: i am ircd programer.. on Brasil ;) [09:50] Hi. I use a USB wireless adaptor to get online. Occasionally, when the CPU is too busy, the wireless connection drops, and won't come back until I reboot. Is there some command I can run to reset the USB device? Even unplugging and replugging it doesn't help. [09:50] kegles: there :) [09:50] I'm getting tired of having to reboot several times a day [09:50] \o === savvas_ is now known as savvas [09:51] savvas: =@@@@@@@@2~ [09:51] tks [09:51] dooglus: why are you rebooting?? [09:51] np :) [09:51] perlmonkey: done? [09:51] some to capture the raw [09:51] savvas_ fixed =) many thanx [09:51] ;p [09:51] It doesn't turn straight off (I know, it would do that if I would hold the button for 4 secs), but shuts down linux. [09:51] ActionParsnip: because it's the only way I've found of getting back online [09:51] perlmonkey: ok, great :) [09:51] dooglus: try: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:51] my sys was crippled now wonder, i could not get Xfce back and had to use Gnome which runs a bit slower [09:51] hi all ! [09:51] now I can go back to Xfce =) [09:52] perlmonkey: could try fluxbox :D [09:52] i will try flux [09:52] perlmonkey: btw, you might want to try this, just in case there are any upgrades: sudo apt-get upgrade === BfrOv3rfl0w_ is now known as BfrOv3rfl0w [09:52] ok [09:52] ActionParsnip: I try every time. It worked once, a month or so ago. But the last 57 times I tried, it didn't. It tries 6 or so times to get an IP address and finally gives up. [09:52] perlmonkey: log off, change session to xfce and login [09:53] dooglus: id try find a different driver [09:53] phew lots [09:53] ActionParsnip: whered you look? [09:53] someone know if there is a way to make http://localhost point to 2 folders ? like on www and one folder on another disk please ? [09:53] will do it, thanks guys you've been so helpful [09:53] ActionParsnip: I trie'd all the free one's, but none of them worked [09:54] Mateo_ how can it point to two folders? [09:54] ActionParsnip: It doesn't turn straight off (I know, it would do that if I would hold the button for 4 secs), but shuts down linux. [09:54] ActionParsnip: so im using the manufacturers one, with ndiswrapper [09:54] Martin_vW: I think you can set it in System > Preferences > Power Management [09:54] Mateo_ you could use a symbolic link I guess, maybe that would work [09:54] perlmonkey: that's the question :) i don't know if it is possible, that's why i ask :) [09:54] hey so I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 and I keep getting no valid mirror found... any tips? [09:55] dooglus: latest ndiswrapper/ [09:55] Mateo_ you mean like..no index page served, just dir listing and the dir for 2nd drive browsable? [09:55] ActionParsnip: yes [09:55] Mateo_, no.. but the closest you can get is to point it to one folder, and create symlinks below it to those two dir and (providing it's apache?) tell it to follow symlinks so it'll be http://localhost/dir1 http://localhost/dir2, but http://localhost/ will really be one folder as such. [09:56] hi [09:56] ActionParsnip: when I run windows, the connection also drops when the CPU is too busy to service the device. but it comes back up within seconds. [09:56] what is the good practice when creating a new folder under /var ? [09:56] Mateo_, I presume this may be a clean install of apache, so that should work (no chroot stuff going on etc) [09:56] ActionParsnip: in ubuntu it drops just as often, but never comes back up unless I reboot [09:56] should I create a new "git" user ? [09:56] dazman: it is .. so i have to work on this [09:56] dooglus: hmm, i'd see if theres some strange settings in your bios or maybe your model of wifi (or even laptop if its a laptop) needs special tweaking [09:57] dazman: well, i think that the easiest way right now,because i don't need my www, is to use the second drive with localhost [09:57] Mateo_ apache will only allow one directory for htdocs as far as I know, but you can put a symbolic link to your other disk in the htdocs directory, or alternatively you could use an dir alias in apache config [09:57] ActionParsnip: the windows is on a completely different laptop [09:57] hey so I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 and I keep getting no valid mirror found... any tips? [09:57] Mateo_, What are you trying to do? [09:57] perlmonkey: oh ok , i could try it [09:58] dooglus: maybe its your access point if both are dropping connection. Is the access point a long way away? [09:58] Hi, I've installed the PHP5 package from the repos, but how do I work with it? Should I place my files in a specified folder or something? [09:58] * perlmonkey grabs 2 bananas [09:59] Martin_vW: did you find it in power management "General" tab? Is it disabled if you set it to "Ask me"? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [09:59] Bonjour a Tous ! [09:59] Meilleurs Voeux [09:59] ActionParsnip: it's about 23m away at the moment. I've tried various ranges, down to 1cm. It doesn't seem to make any difference. [09:59] bonjour [09:59] dooglus: the fact that 2 different OSs are both dropping the link makes me think your access point is a bit fiunny and that windows is gracefully recovering but linux is not so good [09:59] ca va? [09:59] After having edited a file in mc, how can I leave the mc-Editor and return to this filename in the file tree hierarchy? [09:59] so no one has any tips on upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10? see, this is why ubnuntu is still not ready for prime time [09:59] Martin_vW: you can also try a terminal command to set it to "nothing": gconftool -s -t string /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/power "nothing" [09:59] dazman: i'm working on both windows and ubuntu, for different reason, and i have 2 differents folders, one on ubuntu and the other on XP [09:59] there is no way it should be this hard [09:59] bonjour deltaburn [09:59] I have a problem getting 8.10 added to an AD domain, I've followed the howto on the website and is now trying to run "net ads join -S -U , but I get an error that says: "Failed to lookup dc info for domain over rpc", anyone got any idears ? [09:59] Je suis en quete d'un script compatible X chat POur la gestion des XDCC [09:59] klotho, read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [09:59] :-)))) [10:00] dooglus: you could make a script to pull networking down, rmmod the ndiswrapper, modprobe it back in then bring up the network again [10:00] je vais me faire des amis ou pas [10:00] mdr [10:00] !fr | deltaburn [10:00] deltaburn: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [10:00] quibbler: thanks. I read that and did what it said and I still get the error [10:00] ActionParsnip: both drop the connection when the CPU is very busy (like compiling, say) and also when the OS is swapping like crazy. ie. both times when the USB doesn't get services quickly enough [10:00] Thks [10:00] i go [10:00] ActionParsnip: I've not tried making a script for that, because doing it manually doesn't work. I don't suppose scripting it would be any better would it? [10:01] dooglus: its the same thing as doing it manually [10:01] Can someone please help me with the resolution problem because I cannot even try out Ubuntu because I only get 720x400 when I run the LiveCD! [10:01] ActionParsnip: if rmmodding ndiswrapper fixed the problem then I wouldn't be asking. but as I said, rebooting is the only thing I've found to fix it. [10:01] ActionParsnip: that's what I thought. [10:01] dooglus: could log a bug [10:01] ActionParsnip: haha. good one. [10:02] dooglus: do you restart networking after you modprobe the ndiswrapper module? [10:02] klotho, download dvd from here: http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu-cdimage/releases/7.10/release/ and add it to you sources.list file: [10:02] How do I get ubuntu on a windows 2k3 AD ? [10:02] quibbler: how do I do that? [10:02] ActionParsnip: I tried all combinations of start/stop networking, ifup/down, rmmod, modprobe [10:03] dooglus: maybe someone else can chime in, or ask later. Definately log a bug though and give makes / models and version numbers of everything you can imagine [10:03] quibbler: I mean, how do I add it to sources.list [10:03] sl00: I cannot help you much. I believe that your Ubuntu CD does not install the proper Graphics driver or does misconfigure it. Does a Knoppix CD produce a better resolution? [10:03] dooglus: include lshw, lspci, lsusb outputs too [10:03] if ubuntu EVER wants to be a consumer OS it has to stop breaking things [10:03] it's a linksys wusb54g version 1 usb wireless adaptor [10:04] savvas: OK, will try that. I guess though using the UI would only change it for my own account and therefor only when I'm logged in, but not in the login screen. Maybe executing that gconf command as root could help. [10:04] klotho: its open source, theres no guaruntees. I know what you mean though [10:04] microsoft sucks but windows update still works for xp [10:04] there's no point logging a bug on launchpad. I've tried that so many times and never got any results with it. launchpad is a joke [10:04] klotho: if you dont like linux, try BSD based systems [10:04] can anybody help me as in how to change the cube caps in compiz [10:04] klotho, system>administration>software sources [10:04] ActionParsnip: I like linux fine. but I want it to work [10:04] klotho: from time to time, every OS will break, please don't rant about it in here, [10:04] Martin_vW: try it as a normal user first, I think it applies globally. and make sure you log out and restart gnome login screen (CTRL+ALT+Backspace) [10:04] transporter: its part of ccsm, search for caps in ccsm [10:05] ikonia: the point is that ubuntu deliberately broke the upgrade process by unnecessarily moving the files from the locations where they were that worked [10:05] ActionParsnip: i know that i dunno where to look i checked everything [10:05] bullgard4: I do not have Knoppix. I have tried on another computer aswell and tried latest Fedora aswell. Kinda sucks because the graphics cards are note very old nor very new. [10:05] klotho: from time to time, every OS will break, please don't rant about it in here, [10:05] is there any application like wine to execute windows applications? [10:05] terryx: only wine, if you're looking for a non-payment plan :) [10:06] terryx: theres crossover office and cedega but they are paid for software [10:06] terryx wine is the best option you have, else Crossover or Cedega === Slart_ is now known as Slart [10:06] ikonia: it didn't break, it was deliberately broken [10:06] quibbler: what file should I download from there? [10:06] an iso? [10:06] klotho: why would they deliberatley break the upgrade process [10:06] will that work? [10:06] klotho: what are you actually trying to do? [10:06] Anyone has experience with adding a Ubuntu 8.10 to a Windows 2003 domain ? [10:07] ikonia: they broke it by moving the upgrade files away from the location where the upgrade software looks for it [10:07] actionparsnip, my aoe2 slow on playing... [10:07] savvas: I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 [10:07] good morning everyone [10:07] klotho: using an alternate cd? [10:07] terryx: configure wine better for the app [10:07] klotho: why would they do that on purpose [10:07] !appdb | terryx [10:07] savvas: using the built-in upgrade process, and it says no valid mirror found [10:07] terryx: 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 [10:07] klotho, http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu-cdimage/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso [10:07] sl00: The problem is likely your graphics controller and the fact that the Ubuntu CD does not recognize it out-of-the box. My advice would be to try to burn a Knoppix CD and test your computer with it. To test another computer is not meaningful. [10:07] klotho: 7.04's EOL was October 19, 2008 [10:08] ikonia: well if they didn't know that moving the files would break their upgrade process they're pretty dumb [10:08] savvas: I checked with gconf-editor, /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/power of my own account is set to interactive. I haven't figured out yet how to access root's settings with gconf-editor, but as far as I can see in /root/.gconf, the key doesn't exist yet. I guess the login screen falls back to a default value meaning poweroff. [10:08] klotho: if you want support - we'll try to help, if you want to spout nonsense about doing it on purpose when you don't know - don't bother [10:08] bullgard4: Why is Knoppix better then? [10:08] Martin_vW: try executing first this to gain root privileges: sudo -s [10:08] actionparsnip, how to connect to another ubuntu computer via internet...is it possible? [10:08] ikonia: ok, so why would they move the files so that their upgrade process fails? is there a good reason for that? [10:09] Martin_vW: it will set your username and home directory as "root" [10:09] terryx: define "connect" [10:09] klotho: 64-bit or 32-bit ubuntu? [10:09] terryx: and for what reason [10:09] savvas: 32 bit desktop ubuntu [10:09] klotho: I don't know what files your on about as I've not followed your whole conversation [10:10] see, if you want to make a consumer OS, you have to stop deliberately doing things which make it difficult to use [10:10] ikonia: I'm trying to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10. just that [10:10] savvas: When I'm using sudo -i and then gconf-editor, it works, but still displays the settings from my account. When I use sudo -s, gconf-editor says "failed to contact configuration server". [10:10] my xfce is not working :-/ theres no apps launcher, it can't be installed from Add item.. seems I might be missing a lot of stuff [10:10] klotho: ok - so what's the problem [10:10] sl00: Knoppix is an alternative. It is not always better than Ubuntu. (According to the experiences we made in our local computer club.) A third alternative to be recommended for testing is the grml CD. [10:10] klotho: can you exaplin the problem in a little more detail [10:10] bullgard4: Is there no way pre-boot I can tell the LiveCD to use another driver or something? [10:10] savvas: I guess gconftool-2 is the only way here :) [10:10] klotho: download the alternate cd: http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#Upgrading%20using%20the%20alternate%20CD/DVD [10:10] klotho: is there a particular error message it gives? [10:10] ikonia: I have a 7.04 installation. I try to upgrade to 7.10. It says no valid mirrors [10:11] klotho: ahhhh so your 7.04 updates before you move to 7.10 are broke, yes/no ? [10:11] Martin_vW: probably :) I haven't done anything on root concerning gconf or gnome in general [10:11] ikonia: ? [10:11] sl00: Yes there is. This is called 'kernel option' or similar. [10:11] * perlmonkey attempts to install it again [10:11] klotho: could you show me the exact error please, in a pastebin if it's long [10:11] sl00: theres also puppy linux, or damn small linux [10:11] klotho: this should be straight forward to fix [10:11] ikonia: it just says no valid mirrors [10:11] no other error [10:11] hehe puppy linux [10:12] ikonia: 7.04 is not supported anymore, that's why it says no mirrors [10:12] klotho: well, I think I see the issue, and I think your the problem, not "ubuntu" [10:12] savvas: I know [10:12] savvas: yes, so why remove the support by moving files? leave them there so things continue to work [10:12] ikonia: ah, you need to document it? :) [10:12] klotho: they are still there [10:12] savvas: no - it is documented [10:12] ikonia: no they aren't that's why it fails when trying to find the upgrade files [10:12] so do you know how to fix it? [10:13] klotho: I just told you how to do it offline using the alternate cd [10:13] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty tells me 'The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/feisty was not found on this server.' -- looks like something was removed [10:13] klotho: if you listen instead of ranting and making yourself look more foolish, I'll fix it [10:13] savvas: I don't have 4GB of room for that CD [10:13] klotho: the EOL process (documented) [10:13] it's not a CD [10:13] actionparsnip, connect means for file transfer.. [10:13] it's a DVD [10:13] klotho: it shows that EOL releases are moved from the core servers to the "oldrelease" server as they are no longer supported [10:13] terryx: you could run an ftp server [10:13] klotho: the alternate CD is 693 MB, look at the file list [10:13] ikonia: right, and by moving it they break everything. there's no need to move it [10:13] klotho: so you have to change your sources.list file to point at the oldreleases server where EOL [10:13] savvas: what image is that? [10:13] klotho: you don't know that, you don't manage canonicals resources [10:14] klotho: you just didn't read the docs [10:14] ikonia: I did that, following the instructions, and still get that error [10:14] < savvas> klotho: download the alternate cd: http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#Upgrading%20using%20the%20alternate%20CD/DVD [10:14] dazman: it's working with the symlink [10:14] klotho: pastebin your sources.list [10:14] klotho: Or you could use the minimal installer which is 10Mb [10:14] actionparsnip, how? and what if i want to see his/her screen with her permission or password.. [10:14] klotho: I guess one reason to move the files would be the make people aware of the fact that they aren't updated any more [10:14] ikonia: my sources list is the one found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [10:14] i got to go :) see you all ! [10:14] klotho: no [10:14] Slart: great, so now things fail and they give up and go back to windows [10:14] terryx: read guides, i find proftpd is decent. If you want screen access then i'd suggest vnc over an ssh tunnel [10:14] clever idea [10:15] HEEELLLPPPPP!!!!!! i can't install anything on my hdd's I can read and write to them but grub won't install [10:15] FisherPric1: cut the HEEEEELLLPPPP rubbish please, just ask a question clearly [10:15] actionparsnip, vnc orver an ssh tunner....means? [10:15] !grub | FisherPric [10:15] FisherPric: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:15] I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and can't get my dual-head display working. In 8.04 I used "xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of VGA-0" and it worked. Now nothing happens...any ideas? [10:15] well ikonia I've been trying to ask for help all day, but noone is helping me [10:15] klotho: this may seem obvious but you have done an sudo apt-get update first [10:15] terryx: vnc is not encrypted so using it over wan is dangerous in a security sence [10:15] klotho: if that was all it took to scare someone back I don't think they would have stayed with ubuntu much longer anyways [10:16] if ubuntu wants to become a viable desktop OS they will stop breaking things intentionally [10:16] and that's the truth [10:16] FisherPric1: probably because of how you ask [10:16] ikonia: ? [10:16] klotho: I won't ask you again about that - we are here to hepl but stop ranting [10:16] no, that's the first one like that [10:16] honest [10:16] how do you restart x in jaunty? [10:16] terryx: if you perform the action through an initially established ssh tunnel, you will have encyption [10:16] ikonia: are you suggesting something? [10:16] klotho: have you done a "sudo apt-get update" first [10:16] how do you restart x in jaunty? [10:16] Tekno: ctrl+alt+backspace is a quick and dirty way [10:16] ikonia: no because it doesn't specify that in the documentation [10:16] Slart: doesnt work [10:16] Tekno: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 sdiscussion [10:16] klotho: do a "sudo apt-get update" first [10:16] Tekno: same as all linux's, ctrl+alt+backspace [10:16] Tekno: can you shut down the computer the normal way? [10:17] ActionParsnip: doesnt work [10:17] lol [10:17] Tekno: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 sdiscussion [10:17] klotho: maybe ikonia 's right, can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list on www.pastebin.com ? Maybe you have missed something [10:17] I get most of the way through the install, then when I get to the boot loader it says that it can't install it... I think it might be the bios or something blocking it [10:17] Tekno: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:17] Tekno: yes, ask in #ubuntu+1, that's where the jaunty people are [10:17] but I've looked in bios and there's nothing there that i can see [10:17] klotho: please do a "sudo apt-get update" first [10:17] ActionParsnip: i dont have gdm, kdm nor xdm [10:17] savvas: my sources.list is the one specified in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [10:17] klotho: please do a "sudo apt-get update" now, with your updated source.list [10:17] ikonia: okay I did that [10:18] actionparsnip, first..dangrous for what..second-what is sssh tunel? [10:18] klotho: now try the upgrade process [10:18] using the update manager? [10:18] klotho: yes please [10:18] it will fail again with no valid mirrors. want to bet? [10:18] I'll bet you $20 [10:18] klotho: maybe u should stop talking and just listen to the ppl who are trying to help you [10:18] terryx: its too diverse to describe here, go research. VNC data is sent in plain data so anyone capturing data will see every keypress you make [10:18] $20 anyone? [10:18] klotho: enough [10:18] klotho: we are here to help - not mess around [10:18] klotho: please try the update process [10:18] hello all, just grabed a cup of coffe as I partake of some ubuntu IRC.... [10:19] ok, trying [10:19] ikonia, is your second name Job? [10:19] klotho: you clearly don't want to be helped, ikonia and I have tried to suggest stuff and you keep on going refusing to do the steps. [10:19] quibbler: what ? [10:19] anyone want to have a crack at my problem while klotho is sorting his out? [10:19] savvas: I've done every step suggested, of which there were 2 [10:20] ikonia, Job as in the patience of [10:20] klotho: I still wish to see your /etc/apt/sources.list :) Sorry for insisting [10:20] no valid mirror found [10:20] you would owe me $20 [10:21] klotho: ok, could you please do a "sudo apt-get install conky" for a test please [10:21] FisherPric1: some BIOS's have something called virus protection.. it's just a write protection for the mbr or something like that [10:21] i compile this perl script (http://pastebin.com/m38780e47) and it prompt error on line 4, please advise, i m newbie. thanks [10:21] nomingzi: join #perl [10:22] what's conck [10:22] y [10:22] ? [10:22] klotho: it's just a system monitor, small package, good for testing the package manager [10:22] klotho: I'm asking you to install a package to test the package maanges config [10:22] Slart: i didn't see any virus protection in my bios settings.. I'm going to try again but this time I'll delete the install partition [10:22] it's doing it [10:22] nomingzi: just fyi.. you usually "run" perl scripts, not compile them =).. but I'll take a look [10:22] Slart: and re-creating it [10:22] klotho: let it finish, see what it says [10:23] it completed without errors [10:23] klotho: ok - so we know the repos are fine [10:23] the update is broken [10:23] FisherPric1: mm, see if that makes it work [10:23] klotho: we don't know that yet, how are you luanching the update manager [10:23] klotho: can you post the output of: apt-cache policy conky [10:23] ikonia: from the menu [10:23] savvas: good call [10:24] is there a channel here that focus on network problems ? [10:24] BombeNissen: look on freenodes channel list [10:24] ikonia: cheers [10:25] nomingzi: I've never used "$|++;" before.. what is it supposed to do? [10:25] BombeNissen: if you mean ubuntu-related network problems, then no, probably not :) [10:25] klotho: how is it looking [10:26] Slart: the perl script was written by others and he asked me to run sudo perl thescriptname.pl >>wget.sh [10:26] how well does ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 work in Ubuntu? [10:26] ok [10:26] savvas: its a problem with getting 8.10 to join a windows domain ;) [10:26] nomingzi: why not ask the person that gave you the script? [10:27] Slart: what should I do - I complete dummy in perl language [10:27] what next? [10:27] nomingzi: or, as someone suggested, ask in #perl instead [10:27] klotho: show us the output of apt-cache policy conky [10:27] klotho: as savvas suggested [10:27] Slart: I just cannot find him anymore [10:27] BombeNissen: if you don't get any help here, try www.ubuntuforums.org === painiz is now known as curious778 [10:27] savvas: this was sorta teh last way out .. had to find one of our external connections to get on irc to get help.. [10:27] nomingzi: what was the original problem you were trying to solve with the script? [10:28] http://pastebin.com/m19a644ca [10:28] been browsing forums and howto's the last week for guidance [10:28] the fact is, this is a stock installation so anyone upgrading should have the same problems [10:28] klotho: yet they have not [10:28] klotho: can you please open the update manager for me please [10:28] I bet they do [10:28] ok and? [10:28] klotho: stop arguing - they don't [10:28] klotho: ahhh hang on [10:29] klotho: can you please shut the udate manager [10:29] klotho: close it totally please [10:29] ok [10:29] Slart: the script is to enhance the wget because the wget cannot do the job with just one command line [10:29] klotho: if you have not restarted the update-maanger application it will have a cached source [10:29] klotho: can you now please re-open it [10:29] ikonia: what are we doing? [10:29] I opened it and closed it. open it again? [10:29] why? [10:30] klotho: I want it to re-parse the config file [10:30] klotho: it's open now ? [10:30] ok [10:30] klotho: ok, one moment [10:30] Do you know of an extension/plugin to evolution that displays strings like *string* as bold, like irssi do? Do you know of *any* 3rd-party evolution extensions? [10:30] Hello [10:31] klotho: can you also go into system -> administration -> software sources please [10:31] klotho: as in open that menu [10:31] I have to close update manager first or it will complain [10:31] you know that, right? [10:31] nomingzi: and what do you do when you get the error about line 4 ? [10:31] I have problem with openoffice...when i open the openoffice in ubuntu then its' link did not get any data [10:31] klotho: thats fine [10:31] I have problem with openoffice...when i open the openoffice in ubuntu then its' link did not get any data, and link file is in windows system.. [10:31] klotho: apologies I should have asked you to check this first [10:32] I'm willing to bet again that whatever you do here will not fix the problem, but okay, I'm there [10:32] klotho: can you go to the updates tab please [10:32] i need help and this is the only place i know [10:32] klotho: stop betting - start listening [10:32] And file is located at in ubuntu..i see the ubuntu is ok.. [10:33] ok [10:33] hello and good morning all [10:33] klotho: in the updates tab at the bottom can you see a "release upgrade" menu ? [10:33] CopyWriter, 'please state the nature of the ubuntu emergancy' [10:33] CopyWriter: just ask your question, if someone knows the answer they will probably answer [10:33] ikonia: nop [10:33] e [10:33] klotho: rats, that may not be in 7.04, [10:34] ikonia: can I try something? [10:34] savvas: please [10:34] klotho: try and post the output of this command: wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/Release | md5sum [10:34] i installed ubuntu server on my coporate network because i'm thinking of migrating from win server, got ebox installed, but i try accessing the ebox login web login i type the https://www.servernameexampleport# etc it says no file or directory [10:35] running the command on the server itself [10:35] CopyWriter, last i heard - ebox had some problems on ubuntu. [10:35] !ebox [10:35] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [10:35] deam [10:36] d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e [10:36] dam [10:36] well it seems to connect fine [10:36] klotho: so when you open the update-manager now and click "check" what happens ? [10:37] scst seems to be a nice solution [10:38] ikonia: check always worked [10:38] klotho: so when you click check does it "offer" you any updates ? [10:38] updating to 7.10 is what fails [10:38] Slart: http://pastebin.com/m56ff998a [10:38] if i login and type a url in ubuntu server no matter what url i type in it doesn't open it (i suspect there's no browser installed) [10:38] sure, it always did [10:39] klotho: I assume it offers the update to 7.10 as well [10:39] klotho: did you update your packages first? the documentation says "Before upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10, you should make sure Ubuntu 7.04 is fully up to date" [10:40] nomingzi: ok, it can't find the Mechanize module.. that's what the error is about, I think [10:40] ikonia: it always did [10:40] Slart: thanks [10:40] klotho: on the command line if you do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" what does it do ? [10:40] ikonia: as I mentioned before, that works [10:40] klotho: no, that was update [10:40] Slart: someone has asked me to run sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install WWW::Mechanize' [10:40] klotho: I'm asking for "upgrade" [10:41] nomingzi: that might install it, yes [10:41] the funny thing tho guys is that i see the server on the client pc's [10:41] i just can't login the webadmincp from the server [10:42] After having edited a file in mc, how can I leave the mc-Editor and return to this filename in the file tree hierarchy?

[10:58] ValentineXX: I'm no expert, just to check the obvious, have you tried reading the "man page"? Type man ffmpeg in a terminal to read that if you haven't already, it may be useful...

[11:06] edmondscommerce: have you looked at smbmount at the terminal? [11:06] no [11:06] bit of a GUI man [11:06] what would that do? [11:06] when ubuntu updates are released usually? [11:07] hi guys [11:07] edmondscommerce: it "mounts" the samba share like it was a cdrom [11:07] ok, dooglus got it working using command line update by switching sources.list in the middle of the update [11:07] ok [11:07] which is really really really absurd to have to do [11:07] edmondscommerce: (well, a read/write cdrom) [11:07] anyone installed new kernel at intrepid using jaunty repos? [11:07] i think thats what pyneighbourhood used to do [11:07] via GUI [11:07] turuburu: thats really not a good idea [11:07] will have a go with this anyway thanks [11:07] klotho: you didn't walk through the debugging so we can't take it further [11:07] edmondscommerce: I've never actually heard of or used pyneighbourhood, so i couldnt say [11:07] klotho: paypal the $20 to dooglus@gmail.com :) [11:07] this is bush-league stuff [11:07] ziroday: why ? :( [11:08] pf [11:08] ok cheers anyway danielax [11:08] klotho: paypal the $20 to dooglus@gmail.com :) [11:08] edmondscommerce: no problems :) [11:08] mode +b d_m_itris99|*@*.gr|!#ubuntu-ops [11:08] turuburu: using two repo's from two different ubuntu versions causes conflicts and stability issues.

I looked for it on google by days but I didn't find anything the samba is configured I think good but that I don't find anuwhere is how co [11:09] nfigure the connection how to create the connection... can anyone help me?

It worked seamlessly... but when i viewed the same page through apache (localhost), the css file doesn't get rendered... what's the problem here? i've checked the css file's location too... [11:11] i'm using intrepid [11:11] dooglus: I don't know what he did, but he did have us.archive.ubuntu.com instead of old-releases. And he refused to show the sources.list several times [11:11] greenfuji: err they're all quite different. Entertainer is very new and quite buggy. XBMC is the prettiest (do look for new skins if you use it) but can be difficult to understand and Elisa is the simplest and just works however is not the prettiest nor the most feature filled. [11:11] savvas: at that point he was using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades I think - that tells you to use paths which fail [11:11] savvas: he said he had just copied those 3 lines [11:12] borncrusader: it might be the location of the css file [11:12] borncrusader: have you included it in your xhtml by relative paths? [11:12] borncrusader: or the permissions on the file [11:12] Hello! I would like to install the last beta version of Digikam, that is packaged for jaunty, inside my Intrepid. Do you have a clue about how to do this without switching everything to intrepid? [11:12] dooglus: then look at http://pastebin.com/m53470802 - he was using us.archive.ubuntu.com instead of old-releases.ubuntu.com in the deb repositories [11:12] greenfuji: however I would recommend XBMC once you get the hang of it [11:13] i've checked it sarmisak... it's the correct location... i've set the ownership of /var/www to myself... so i don't think there's a problem with permissions...

[11:15] [11:15] ziroday: thanks mate. I'll try xbmc. only way to learn is try. I found configuring mythtv to be a bit unusual but you can get there in the end. thanks for your advise. [11:15] rohil: If there's something you can't move as a normal user, it's normally important to the system [11:15] borncrusader: can you access localhost/styles/style1.css [11:15] oh boy, i just screwed up!

[11:27] EhsenSiraj: well, you could make it setuid root [11:27] ganesh1: there are docs on setting grub up on the grub home page, the splash image support is built into the ubuntu build [11:28] anyone has a painless way to convert *.ogv files to avi,wmv etc?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [11:31] Slart: sure you can, you just set them owned by root then set the permissions to setuid [11:31] its a chown then a chmod but i can't remember the exact flags to pass to chmod [11:32] danielax: hmm... I've got vague memories from trying to do that some time ago and not succeeding.. I might have just done something wrong. [11:32] danielax: +s [11:32] danielax: think you mean "chmod 4755" However, I do agree that setuid doesn't usually work with scripts it's a security feature, if you check you will find that the script does not run as root [11:33] Slart: it doesn't work for cgi-bin scripts run by apache, but i thought it worked for normal cripts... [11:33] maybe things have changed since I last tried it. [11:34] danielax: try it.. just make a short script with a whoami or something.. [11:34] danielax: I can't get it to work [11:34] do u know how to change the caps on the cube [11:35] Hi, my current root is reiserfs, how could i use ext3fs in my /home/smellydog/film ?

[11:55] th1: https://launchpad.net/~thomas-creutz/+archive add that to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then do sudo apt-get update.

[12:03] ziroday, hmm, it says it's "180.18" and the one on nvidia's page is "180.22", I wonder if it will have the fix? probaby not? [12:03] Do people recommend rEFit?

[12:07] eights: yeah [12:07] Kartagis: I'm sure you can make an 100MB ext3 partition if you want to.. or you want to make it smaller? [12:08] Slart, let me put it this way, what's the fs I can make a 1mb partition?

I have no idea how big the overhead is for the different fs-types.. try fat16 or fat32 [12:10] I am using ubuntu 8.10. Should there be a dist-upgrade now? [12:10] Sorry, one more question... Are there any major obstacles that would make me choose 32bit over 64bit? [12:10] Kartagis: just out of curiosity... what are you going to use a 1MB partition for? [12:10] Zach_Beauvais, in newest version of ubuntu I haven't seen any yet.. but before it was a hassle with some browser plugins and especially windows codecs [12:10] linduxed: try in your xinit should be /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [12:10] hello [12:10] Zach_Beauvais: not really.. some proprietary software is only available as 32 bit.. for example my banks firefox plugin for the little security box [12:11] th1: thanks... [12:11] Slart, backup for my configuration files [12:11] Slart: yes... bank's sites seem often to fight with the user ;) [12:11] look :)) cool keychain :)) ubuntu-keychain http://slil.ru/26540092 [12:12] Kartagis: hmm.. you, of course, do what you want with your computer... but I wouldn't mess with such small partitions.. I would make it at least 50 MB or so [12:12] eights: hmmm, but that wont apply to gdm i think [12:12] ttestt, wtf is that a russian cracker site or something?? [12:12] Hi everyone! What would you say is the best way to get support for the new microsoft office format to openoffice? Is it possible? I mean not just for the word processor, but for the whole thing (xlsx, and so on) [12:12] th1: no. file chare server [12:12] Slart, what fs would you recommend then? [12:13] linduxed: that should execute your commands as soon as the x server is started (beforge gdm/kdm ,etc) [12:13] th1: there are 250kb file - 3gp video [12:13] Kartagis: then I would use.. ext2 or ext3 [12:13] ttestt, yes but is it safe to open... [12:13] th1: ops. there _is_ [12:13] hi [12:14] My keyboard works fine during grub boot menu...but when intrepid loads it malfunctions... [12:14] th1: i have uploaded this file [12:14] Slart: Under what circumstances would one prefer ext2 to ext3? [12:14] ext2 or fat32, no journal, less overhead [12:14] ttestt: chat in #ubuntu-offtopic === onodream is now known as onoz [12:14] ziroday: not chat :( look ubuntu-kaychain :) handmade :) [12:14] test for yourself, format it to each wtih gparted, and see how much is in use after formatting [12:15] hi ziroday [12:15] Ryan_Delaney: I'm not really sure.. I've never really looked into how much space the log actually uses.. [12:15] eights: will try then [12:15] ttestt, ok now I see it ;) [12:16] Ryan_Delaney: but the answer would be "when the space the log uses actually starts to be noticable" [12:16] linduxed: in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc you should be able to just put your whole commands 'xmodmap -e "settings here"' | 'xset r 66' or seperate them one per line [12:16] im using an external keyboard other than my laptop.. [12:17] laptop's* [12:17] th1: or i can find and get such thing in a shop? [12:18] EgYPaRaDoX: this may or may not help but i've had similar issue with my mouse and laptop try your function keys [12:18] what about the function keys? [12:19] you know how there are options for external monitor, mouse, keyboar, brightness, etc [12:19] oh yea i know those... [12:19] Fn+key... [12:19] right, see if there is one for the keyboard/mouse [12:19] there isnt... [12:19] ttestt, it's probably programmable with a bitmap from a PC [12:19] k, then its gotta be your xserver config [12:20] has it ever worked with the external keyboard? [12:20] yeah i guess so.. [12:20] actually..sometimes it works.. [12:20] sometimes it doesnt... [12:20] lol [12:20] very weird... [12:20] ttestt, www.tradevv.com/chinasuppliers/jade2007 [12:20] the thing is it works fine while im choosing the OS... [12:21] Hi guys [12:22] ttestt, or even this one in Colour! http://www.netpcdirect.co.uk/lcd-photo-ket-ring.php [12:22] is there a way to open .ai files in ubuntu? [12:22] EgYPaRaDoX: well thats why i think its something with the xserver config, cuz normaly it should work while booting and grub select, but if it doesn't work when your xserver and window mangers start its a problem with yoru config [12:22] hey guys, im fairly new to installing ubuntu on my computer, i have 3 hdds in the computer and one of them is blank, the blank one is the one i want to install ubuntu onto [12:22] milardovich, yes see www.medibuntu.org [12:22] EgYPaRaDoX: let me see what i can find, one sec [12:22] th1: seeing [12:22] so i should check /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [12:22] when i install ubuntu, it doesnt boot into grub and goes straight to the vista bootscreen [12:22] th1: :)) no. it's a picture there. [12:22] th1: thanx a lot [12:23] EgYPaRaDoX: yea that would be the first place i would start [12:23] when using a guided full install, does it automatically install the bootloader as well? [12:23] alexy92: yes it should install grub [12:23] alexy92: if it hasnt you can boot into the live cd [12:23] EgYPaRaDoX: usb keyboard? [12:23] ohk [12:24] milardovich, sorry I thought it was a different file. ai file is Adobe Illustrator vector graphics.. [12:24] its ummm a ps2 with a converter from ps2 to usb.. [12:24] alexy92: from there there are a few simple steps to add grub [12:24] milardovich, try renaming the file from file.ai to file.pdf and see if it will open! [12:24] yo yo yo [12:24] ive booted into the live cd several times but have been unable to acess the ubuntu install [12:24] the file is so small.. [12:24] sorry from where? [12:25] th1: okay [12:25] i recently got a ATI HD 4350, which is a HD card, and ever since ive had problems with sound, do i need a HD soundcard for HD sound? i don't even have a DVD player let alone a BLURAY so.. don't think i even need HD sound? -- help pls [12:25] alexy92: This website here: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/ [12:25] milardovich, http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/02/24/opening-adobe-illustrator-ai-files-when-you-don-t-have-adobe-illustrator.aspx [12:25] On the page there is are quick steps to install grub. [12:25] is there a way to see what kind of scsi targets you have ? [12:26] ciao a tutti [12:27] I'll give a chance to inkscape :-), thanks th1 ;) [12:27] can compiz cause this? [12:27] MatBoy: try "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" [12:28] EgYPaRaDoX: possibly. what does 'lsusb' print? [12:28] EgYPaRaDoX: does it show the ps2/usb converter or the keyboard? [12:28] oCean_: good one [12:29] im so totally stumped as to what the problems is.. Fresh install but get error 15 file not found. followed the howto fix grub to the letter. still error 15. If i had hair Id be pulling it out. [12:29] it shows wireles.. [12:29] somebody know if there's some deb package for monodevelop 2.0 with the integrated debugger? [12:29] the rest are linux foundation... [12:29] oCean_: nope :( [12:29] root hub.. [12:29] oCean_: I mean on the iscsi server [12:29] EgYPaRaDoX: hmm. so its not reconizing either? weird [12:29] anyone good with grub issues? [12:30] snarkster: what was your problem? [12:30] Sub101: Fresh install but get error 15 file not found. followed the howto fix grub to the letter. still error 15. [12:30] hi ... when the mlocate database file is regenerated ? [12:31] ohk thankyou very much sub101 [12:31] ikonia: still there? do you have an iso of feisty available somewhere? [12:31] Sub101 what other information do you need? [12:32] MatBoy: ah, sorry. Not sure about that [12:32] !grub | snarkster [12:32] snarkster: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:32] snarkster: is this a single boot or dual boot? [12:32] snarkster: error 15 afaict means it can't find your kernel [12:32] Right, but I cant figure out why not. :) [12:33] hd1,0 [12:33] the menu list says that.. [12:33] snarkster: i'd boot to live cd and make sure the files that your menu.lst references are there [12:33] Im in a live cd right now [12:33] savvas: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/ , but why are you installing 7.04? [12:33] IndyGunFreak: just testing something, don't worry :) [12:33] snarkster: do you have 2 physical disks in the system? [12:33] snarkster: i agree with ActionParsnip. Check everything is where it should be [12:34] IndyGunFreak: thanks btw! [12:34] yes 1 sata 1 ide [12:34] np [12:34] could the sata be interfering [12:34] snarkster: sata has an ide, but thats by the by [12:34] savvas: still messing with the 7.04 to 7.10 update? === Dam0 is now known as ubuntu [12:34] snarkster: could be worth a test, try disconnecting the none bootable drive [12:35] Slart: ikonia mentioned that upgrade works, I want to test it before filing a bug report about it, just want to test it here as well :) [12:35] snarkster: you only have to remove power, power down the pc first [12:35] but that would surely change gurb then right? sata is hd0 [12:35] grub even [12:35] savvas: ah, ok [12:35] savvas: not really sure why it'd be a bug, 7.04 is past its EOL, so support has ended [12:35] Hi, I'm using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) and I'm trying to renew a certificate with GoDaddy but it's preventing me saying the CSR includes a possible comprimised key. Now I have upgraded the ssl-cert package by doing apt-get install ssl-cert and it's at version "1.0.14-0ubuntu0.7.10.1". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? [12:35] snarkster: if you can verify that is absolutely the case then you are ok, you could try setting it to 0,0 just to test, you can always change it back in live cd [12:36] !gutsy [12:36] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Gutsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades - Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour [12:36] true dat [12:36] ok brb [12:36] snarkster: i'd read the grub factoid links as it may help you to identify the disks [12:36] Can someone here please tell me how much 8bit is? Should be around 65000? [12:36] or so? [12:36] 55000? [12:36] 65535 [12:36] Plz: can you rephrase please? [12:37] plz: how much what? [12:37] What you mean? [12:37] Plz: if you want the maxint that an 8bit buffer can hold, its what Fulk said [12:37] i installed english ubuntu, now i want korean. how to apply the change? [12:37] IndyGunFreak: the bug I'm filing about is because someone complains that they can't upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, and there should be a notification with a link in the update-manager about this kind of stuff when someone eventually connects to the internet and attempts to update their release (for future releases and EoL that is) [12:37] !locale | useruseruseruser [12:37] useruseruseruser: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [12:37] i used to do it by language settings but i can't select korean that way [12:37] Plz: 8 bits are 8 bits.. can be mapped to integers from 0 to 255 [12:37] I have a dc hub running and I got told I need to use another port because it was above 8bit. I had port 76000. [12:37] i can see my windows network but i cannot see any of the shared folders... am i missing something? [12:37] useruseruseruser: enable the language in system -> administration -> language support first. Then at the login screen, click on "options" and choose korean for your language [12:38] savvas: thats not really a bug though.... [12:38] so I wonder how much is 8bit...or more likely, what is the biggest portnumber I can use. [12:38] jrib, i'm saying i can't see korean there [12:38] slobad23: are you sure they are shared? [12:38] Plz: two bytes or 16 bits can be mapped to integers between 0 and 65535 [12:38] is there another application that displays usb info other than lsusb? [12:38] Plz: you arent making any sense. If you rephrase the question using sompler terms we may understand better [12:38] ActionParsnip, they are available to any windows machine. do i need samba installed on the server? [12:38] useruseruseruser: you can't see korean where exactly? I don't have "language settings" [12:38] Slart: Ty. [12:39] Tnyone? I've also recrated my key file, but to no avail :-( [12:39] jrib, language support under administration [12:39] hey i have problems with flash...can anyone help [12:39] EgYPaRaDoX: you could check your dmesg, 'dmesg |more' [12:39] Anyone even :-) [12:39] useruseruseruser: what version of ubuntu? [12:39] slobad23: nope, thats only if you wish to share linux folders, try opening your file browser and typing: smb:/// [12:39] IndyGunFreak: it's a bug as a wishlist if you think of it as a granny that doesn't know how to get further help :) [12:39] slobad23: obviously replacing names as needed [12:39] jrib, 8.04 [12:39] useruseruseruser: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [12:40] i recently got a ATI HD 4350, which is a HD card, and ever since ive had problems with sound, do i need a HD soundcard for HD sound? i don't even have a DVD player let alone a BLURAY so.. don't think i even need HD sound? -- help pls [12:40] savvas: bug and wishlist are quite different [12:40] jrib, why? [12:40] useruseruseruser: so I can try to help you? [12:40] nnull: any soundcard will do it [12:40] nnull: just getthe drivers sorted for your soundcard [12:40] ActionParsnip, oh ok, do i need to do extra cables or something? [12:40] how can i connect my tv card? [12:40] i have problems with flash...can anyone help me [12:40] ActionParsnip, i have latest soundcard drivers [12:40] nnull: after a boot, try reading: dmesg | less [12:40] IndyGunFreak: they're both filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug though - I'll ask for it to be included in wishlist [12:40] DarkKnight: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [12:41] ActionParsnip, need to try and find the url navigation bar in nautilus :D === ubuntu is now known as damo [12:41] nnull: not really sure what HD sound is.. I think you can decode most fancy sound streams (DTS, DD, AC3 etc) with a normal computer [12:41] jrib;; which channel did you mean [12:41] IndyGunFreak: I just want to see if this case stands though, that's why I need the feisty iso image :) [12:41] slobad23: click to the right of the stupid graphical folder theing, it will turn to text [12:41] jrib, i'll try installing locales, localeconf instead ty anyway [12:41] i have a tv tuner card in my pc i used it with windows, now i am wondering if i can use it with ubuntu? [12:42] Slart, afaik HD sound is sound from blueray-HD movies [12:42] damo: best answer... "perhaps" =/ [12:42] it just shows me an empty window saying "windows shares on " [12:42] nnull: just make sure your system can play sounds in general then make sure your video software knows to use the correct device [12:42] EgYPaRaDoX: 'dmesg | grep nameOfKeyboard' might be more helpful and quicker at least [12:42] ActionParsnip, if i could navigate to this using the terminal, it would be better :) [12:42] ActionParsnip, the system could play sounds fine before i got the videocard [12:42] oh... don't have those... i don't know [12:42] !netsplit [12:42] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [12:42] nnull: maybe you have an irq conflict [12:43] wtf... don't have localeconf [12:43] 4.842624] input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Generic USB K/B] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1 [12:43] is there a way i can setup a tv tuner card in my pc using ubuntu? [12:43] nnull: check in bios to let the OS assign irqs [12:43] nnull: from wikipedia.. "For audio, BD-ROM players are required to support Dolby Digital, DTS, and linear PCM. Players may optionally support Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, as well as lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio." [12:43] damo: id suggest using mythbuntu [12:43] damo: is it usb or pci? [12:43] pci [12:44] wtf... i used to do it through language support... used to download automatically.. now i can't even see korean [12:44] damo: run lspci, one line will identify your tv card, you mayl need to install drivers before using mythtv / tvtime / whatever app you want [12:44] used to be automatic in gnome [12:44] ... i dunno [12:44] damo: websearch for the output you get on your tv card and your on your ay [12:44] *way [12:45] ActionParsnip, i take it i need to mount the thing first do i? or should i just be able to browse it through the network? [12:45] EgYPaRaDoX: does it list a device path? (ie /dev/usb0, or soemthing)? [12:45] ActionParsnip, if i goto System > Prefs > Sound and do the sound tests they all make noise, but playing saying flash in firefox i get nothing? [12:45] ActionParsni: ok cheers [12:45] ActionParsnip: okay looking now:) [12:45] slobad23: no, you can browse it like this [12:45] hey guys just a quick question, if i have a blank hdd and is labeled as disk 2 in computer management in vista, is that likely to change number when configuring grub? [12:45] no one's helping me.... [12:45] there's a site on which i have my subject notes put in flash format... i am not able to view it though i believe that flash is installed...can anyone help me [12:45] oh [12:46] ActionParsnip, do i need to mount it if i am hoping to browse the windows shares through the CLI? [12:46] nnull: there are a billion guides to that, websearch for 'no sound in flash ubuntu' without the 's [12:46] slobad23: then you will need to mount with smbmount [12:46] 5:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) [12:46] 05:02.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11 <---what one would it be Actionparsnip? [12:46] DarkKnight: do you have the flash plugin installed? [12:46] huh? now it magically appears [12:46] why? [12:46] no.. [12:46] now i can see alot of languages in language support window [12:47] why??? [12:47] ActionParsnip, thanks for the assistance. i will see how i get on :) [12:47] ??????? [12:47] and i did....

[12:49] what do I need to do to completly uninstall it and what to upgrade it if there is a new source release? [12:49] now ActionParsnip am i looking for the driver for Brooktree Corporation Bt878? [12:50] Hi, since I upgraded to Intrepid I can't connect to my work VPN any more using Network Manager, I get "LCP terminated by peer (\M-9To^@ benc1: what are you building from source? [12:50] DarkKnight: oh.. then the flash thingy is probably working.. is this on a public site somewhere? do you have an url? [12:50] damo: is that a pencam thing? [12:50] jrib: ejabberd. does it matter? are there differences? [12:50] benc1: yes [12:50] ? [12:50] it's quite incredible considering i know close to nothing about configuring and sh1t.... wow [12:50] jrib: can you please explain why? [12:50] Slart; its campusexpress.co.in you have to login after registering [12:50] jrib: I thoguht that make should take care of everything [12:51] bobbyd: i have no idea what your talkin about [12:51] DarkKnight, do you have AMD64 verdion or regular one? [12:51] damo: what's the driver for? [12:51] version :) [12:51] DarkKnight: you're not runnnig some other plugin.. flashblock or noscript? [12:51] benc1: because there is no canonical way to remove software after installing it like that. Some authors provide a 'make uninstall' rule, but many don't. In that case you just need to rm the files yourself. What are you building? [12:51] q_; amd64 [12:51] a video card [12:51] to watch tv [12:51] ;p [12:51] I thought the bt878 was a webcam driver and that it was already in the default install [12:52] jrib: ejabberd http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads/ [12:52] have you tried "sudo modprobe bt878" ? [12:52] benc1: ejabberd is in the repositories [12:52] Slart; flashblock isnt installed....whats the other..i dont know [12:52] eight:there is no path.. [12:52] ok [12:52] jrib: I know but I needed a newer version [12:53] i dont have a webcam:P [12:53] eights: there is no path.. [12:53] jrib: I also needed to patch the source [12:53] DarkKnight: I think that spinning circle is done in flash.. ie the flash thingy is working.. and it's trying to load something [12:53] damo: do you have a /dev/dvb device ? [12:53] is anybody familiar with graphics requirements of games like 'need for speed-carbon'? [12:53] im new to linux i dunno [12:53] benc1: remember that newer doesn't usually mean better. In any case, check out checkinstall. If you don't really need newer, but just want to patch the source, then learn how to patch the source of the package in the repositories [12:53] !appdb | shavin [12:53] shavin: 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 [12:53] Slart; i have seen the notes on XP systems...dont know how i can get it in hardy [12:53] shavin: running it in wine?

[12:55] ActionParsnip, ... its the same in windows and ubuntu, flash sound along with all sound worked before i installed the videocard. [12:56] sorry to be a bother but just a quick question, if i have a blank hdd and is labeled as disk 2 in computer management in vista, is that likely to change number when configuring grub? [12:56] shavin: depends on the rest of your system and the game itself, there is no yes / no answer [12:56] or do i have to go for more expensive ones? over here in india a 256 mb nvidia costs around 2200/- INR [12:56] Hi all. I have a prob with my nvidia 8600 GTS. I installed nvidia-180-modaliases and the I opened jockey-kde. I installed the last drivers (180) and rebooted, and X complains that the screen and the mouse/keyboard aren't configured/detected and wont start X. I ran nvidia-xconfig but wont help. What can I do? [12:56] shavin: here's some info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed_Carbon [12:56] ActionParsnip, and this video card has some sort of sound capabilites on it [12:56] I have a thinkcentre with 256 mb ram and intel [12:56] for HD sound or something [12:56] ianh99: damo@damo:~$ ls /dev/dvb [12:56] adapter0 [12:56] DarkKnight: then I don't think it's your flash install that's messing things up.. might be something else [12:56] nnull: i'd check the hcl, it may give clues [12:57] How well does new VMware player run ??? I read our guide about it, and it seems simple simple simple! Can it run M$-Office inside of a VM session (I got 2gig RAM new new computer) [12:57] Many modern Linux distros use Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). Is there a way to disable this? (on ubuntu) [12:57] DarkKnight: perhaps they used some "internet explorer"-only technology on the site.. or relies on something else that is only available on windows [12:57] anyone else have issues with apt?? [12:57] al3x-admin: boot to recovery mode for your kernel and repair the xserver [12:57] !anyone | stpere_ [12:57] stpere_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:57] Slart; yes i knew that...but i didnt know what to do with it....anyways q_ has suggested me something...which i am looking into [12:57] i have an USB external harddisk is formatted with NTFS, and I wish to format it to EXT3, please advise how can I can do that. [12:57] I get a bug in update-manager/synaptic.. [12:57] stpere_: pastebin it [12:57] nomingzi >> you could use gParted Live CD [12:58] ok [12:58] ActionParsnip: Yes, I did that. Actually I'm on "that" pc at the moment. I'm able to start X but I'm not able to turn on direct rendering [12:58] nomingzi: you could also install gparted and use it in Ubuntu... without having to reboot on a live cd [12:58] Question: My ubuntu machine crashed (for the second time) that time / filesystem was unreadable. After an fsck.ext3, I had a look at /var/log/messages: the last part of the log is just garbage (not even letters, but random 8bits of what it looks like). Where should I look for the problem ? Thanks. [12:58] damo: OK that's probably means you card has been detected and loaded OK. Do you know if it's a DVB-S (Satellite card) or DVD-T (Terrestrial) or DVB-C (Cable) ? [12:58] al3x-admin: did you sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings; gksudo nvidia-settings [12:59] gParted can be used either way.. I have used the LiveCD to recover systems though (boot sector) [12:59] DarkKnight: ok, hope you find a way [12:59] Garp: check ram for errors too, its an option in grub menu [12:59] Slart; ya thank you [12:59] i had vista 300 bucks but it was too heavy for my cheap computer so i had to change to ubuntu [12:59] nomingzi: use gparted, remove the ntfs partition, add an ext3 partition.. [12:59] ianh99: i cable card. [12:59] damn... so much money 300 bucks [12:59] ActionParsnip: I ran a memtest for about 10mn without any problem... How long should I run it to be more sure ? [13:00] jrib: hmm, it seems ok now :-\ [13:00] hateball: hey if I fire up VMware player loading XP up, do you think it will run new M$Office2007 ???? [13:00] Garp: til it finishes 1 full check [13:00] it's incredible for my newbie brain so much work got into linux so much expert thinking [13:00] incredible [13:00] ActionParsnip: OK, thanks. [13:00] it was telling me that there was too many package description, and it wasn't supported with that version of apt [13:00] i'm newbie and used linux for years [13:00] ActionParsnip: Yes, and it tells me that appears that I'm not using the NVidia driver, so I have to run "nvidia-xconfig" as root. But if I run it, and reboot, it wont startX because no screen/mouse/keyboard is detected/configured [13:00] damn... still newbie [13:00] maybe my brain is bad [13:01] after the third apt-get update, it's gone [13:01] ubuntu is so fast and smooth..... mmm good [13:01] 안녕하세요 [13:02] ok... i'm finished... good... [13:02] wow... this is incredibly awesome [13:02] ah, it does it again :) [13:02] ;D [13:03] al3x-admin: what nvidia card do yu have?

[13:05] ubuntu means automatic? [13:05] al3x-admin: uninstall whatever drivers you have installed [13:06] i like ubuntu philosophy [13:06] automatic [13:06] ActionParsnip: Ok, and what then? [13:06] al3x-admin: your card is supported by: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 nvidia-settings [13:06] not enterprise like windows [13:06] enterprise implies expensive computer [13:06] expansive [13:06] ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll try that. BRB [13:06] what's mean expensive? expansive? confusing [13:07] how do i uninstall a program i installed through wine?

[13:08] stpere_, no, not wine, the application [13:08] ianh99: i have followed the website and i have found my card using dmesg | grep Bt .... [13:08] Kartagis: try it, it won't uninstall wine itself [13:09] Kartagis: yes, uninstaller brings up the wine app uninstaller to remove the apps you have installed in wine [13:09] you use volume control applet added to bar from the Right-click menu, correct? [13:09] but ask you which application to uninstall [13:09] Ernie: the device for playback is set to automatic [13:09] threedee manually set it to your card [13:09] ianh99: should i go ahead ewith what the website says/ [13:09] maybe it says Crystal CSS audio or such [13:09] Ernie: I do and try the test [13:10] thanks [13:10] Ernie: I get an error message which starts "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !" [13:10] damo: yes. It sounds like the card is OK, you just need to configure channel frequencies etc. Test it with mplayer or something simple first [13:11] ok cool:) [13:11] threedee: interesting! Start with that. Google the error msg [13:12] how come only ubuntu is able to install grub NOT on the first harddrive?

[13:16] Slart: have a look, there may be [13:16] Slart: I have a Compaq with internal speaker that worked on first-boot-right-from-Live-CD [13:16] ActionParsnip: nope.. there isn't.. just checked [13:16] hmm [13:16] Slart: I use it to tune in NPR morstly now [13:16] ErnieDuglas: so you can play regular sounds from it? not just beeps? [13:17] Slart: correct [13:17] ErnieDuglas, PC spealer is not the same as internal laptop speakers etc [13:17] ErnieDuglas: sounds neat.. perhaps they have it connected to the soundcard internally [13:18] Jack_Sparrow: very true. & it's anyones guess how Compaq hookt it in there. It's probaby just a speaker connected direct to a sound card that sits on the mobo [13:18] correct [13:18] I was ultra shockt though when Ubuntu used it right-off-the-bat. :) [13:19] that box hast to use 7.04 or previous though the Compiz core does not like Intel graphics cards [13:19] q_; it isn't working [13:20] I hope they fix newest core to work on the old machines at even at generic VGA 800x600 or such [13:20] just nix the FX just make it boox X normal. === elad is now known as elad` [13:20] hello [13:21] ??

[16:06] Zach_Beauvais: something like "lspci | grep VGA" in a terminal [16:06] Zach_Beauvais -> try sudo lshw -C video [16:06] nesoi, Most intel network controllers should be supported, so I think it is eth0. *:avahi are only for the avahi daemon and don't really do anything that could break the network [16:06] there are two network icons in my system tray, one has a red minus sign. when I click on that after selecting eth1:avahi it says "could not find information in interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev" [16:06] dabd, have you looked at apache website for an older version [16:06] ActionParsnip1: yeah, well that is already how it is set...hmmmm.... [16:06] command not found... [16:06] n8tuser: with cron, can I use my mp3 as alarm sound as well as set up several per day with different titles, or should I try the other you mentioned? Sorry, I've wasted a lot of time so far and I'm trying to prevent any more. [16:06] what? kiso needs pidgin-data to install? what's the point??? what the heck? [16:06] roger_: I'm looking at it now but I thought going the easy way first [16:06] the eth0 showed a sigsomething error but I can't get that back [16:06] dabd, you could find an older apache at lamp or xampp possible [16:06] Weejee, did you see that? [16:06] or anyone else? [16:07] just installed irssi on my ubuntu server edition and i am smiling like a school boy! :) [16:07] your message? [16:07] n8tuser: I'm trying to make sure my wife doesn't decide to switch back to Windows [16:07] weejee, there are two network icons in my system tray, one has a red minus sign. when I click on that after selecting eth1:avahi it says "could not find information in interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev" [16:08] weejee, the eth0 showed a sigsomething error but I can't get that back [16:08] roger_: how do I find it? [16:08] Owner: if you have set a static ip for your internally facing device on the ics system and the other pc is on the same network with a different ip that falls into the netwok mask of the ics systems ip (e.g.10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 mask 255.255.255.0) and the default gateway of the client system is set to that of the ics's internal device ip you should be golden [16:08] RegressLess -> I have not used mp3 in a script to start it, you can try having a cron entry to invoke mp3 to play your sound, but am not sure how to kill it after it finishes the tune [16:08] dabd, here's from apache friends http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/ [16:08] !ics | Owner [16:08] +i [16:08] hmm [16:08] RegressLess -> basically crons can call a bash command or script (use full path where script resides) [16:08] Is there a way to give a user access to synaptic but not have them as a superuser? === variable is now known as Guest50077 [16:09] anyone help me? i got black screen with nvidia drivers [16:09] 1..73 [16:09] 7900gt [16:09] Weejee, no ideas? [16:09] roger_:that's what I'm looking at but I thought that I could find it already packaged in the ubuntu repositories [16:09] Owner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [16:09] Does anyone know a good way to set up a song as an alarm/event notifyer on Ubuntu 8.10? [16:09] nesoi, no, sorry. The network manager not finding your card confuses me [16:10] ActionParsnip1: ubuntu is 192.168.2.1 the sharing one(ibook) is 192.168.0.3 the router is 192.168.0.1 that is wrong, no? [16:10] dabd, that old, good luck [16:10] nesoi, the sigsomething error might be in dmesg, try 'dmesg | grep -i eth0' [16:10] Weejee, is there a way to get ubuntu to try to discover the hardware again? [16:10] roger_:thanks for the help [16:10] Is there any easy way for me to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.28 without moving my entire system to a testing version? [16:11] nesoi, not a simple one I know. If you know the name of the driver modulse you can reload it though [16:11] Owner: if the router is connected to the ics system, and then the ics system is connected to the pc getting no internet then i'd say so [16:11] weejee, it says udev renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 [16:11] dabd, i suggested lamp because it has apache already for use for ubuntu, sorry if that didn't help [16:12] Owner: set the ics sharing device to 10.0.0.1 and the client system (currently webless) to 10.0.0.2 [16:12] Owner: the webless wonders default gateway is now 192.168.0.1 === geo_ is now known as geo05 [16:12] roger_:I see. Thanks anyway [16:12] nesoi, weird stuff. And I don't suppose there's a configuration icon for eth1? [16:12] ActionParsnip1: oh.....thats why they do that *!* [16:13] Owner: once you configure the masquerading, the system will see the traffic destined for the 192.168.0.1 address and push the traffic through its other port [16:13] Owner: technically you have 2 networks [16:13] Weejee, there is one, and it looks okay [16:13] What is a good VM package for Ubuntu Server 8.10? Good is relative to the person I know but what are some opinions around here? [16:13] and if they are all 192.168.0.x then there is no intelligence to differentiate between [16:14] ySQLDarkl: vmware or virtualbox === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [16:14] nesoi, Can't you connect to the wired network with eth1 then? [16:14] Virtualbox has a CLI interface? [16:14] ActionParsnip1: ok, so then what is 0.0.0.0 all about?? [16:14] any idea how I would make ubuntu launch an arbitrary executable when it comes time to launch a screensaver? I want to use a windows screensaver through wine. I can run it manually, so I just need to tell xscreensaver (or whatever it is that runs screensavers on ubuntu) to do that [16:14] RegressLess -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246003 I think the issue that you may come across is, mp3 requires a control terminal to display? cron usually does not have it, unless you put export DISPLAY to get this control terminal [16:14] hi [16:14] !list [16:14] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:15] Anyone knows a TeamViewer like program for Ubuntu 8.04? [16:15] weejee, no [16:15] Owner: thats a broadcast address [16:15] Doesn't the server install automount cd's? do I have to do it manually? [16:16] or rather.. doesn't the JeOS version automount cd's? [16:16] nesoi, I don't really know how to help you ;(. I've got to go right now, maybe you'll have more luck with someone else [16:16] RegressLess -> here is an explanation of how to get around launching gui's in cron [16:16] RegressLess -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-105250.html [16:18] anyone help me? i got black screen with nvidia drivers [16:18] 1..73 [16:18] 7900gt [16:18] hey [16:18] wolv3: gimme 2 [16:19] I'm trying to run screenlet manager but I get the follwing error: ImportError: No module named pygtk [16:19] how can I tell what device it thinks eth1 is?

(http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/) [16:21] action: yeah, but how do I get the gnome one [16:22] yuriks: i'd imagine the uninstall will put it back [16:22] ah, ok [16:22] archman_: Why are you compiling it from source? [16:22] Is there any easy way for me to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.28 or 2.6.27-10 without moving my entire system to a testing version? [16:23] yurik it says eth1: link up 100Mbps full duplex, which sounds good. but it also says eth1: no IPv6 routers present [16:23] Pici: because it requires to update pidgin-data in synaptic...and i dont want to mess pidgin... [16:23] and the link isn't working [16:23] my sound is broken and gives only a "drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" [16:23] any idea what to look at? [16:23] how can i reset it? [16:23] sully probably, if you compile it yourself [16:23] hi [16:23] sully: try apt-cache search 2.6.28 [16:23] noodlesgc: that doesn't count as an "easy way" [16:24] what's the difference between removal and complete removal? [16:24] sully, well then, no, I dont think there is an easy way. [16:24] archman_: I don't see anything in the kiso dependencies that looks like pidgin [16:24] ok, how about anyone [16:24] sully: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently? [16:24] it says eth1: link up 100Mbps full duplex, which sounds good. but it also says eth1: no IPv6 routers present [16:24] yuriks complete removal gets rid of all the old config files [16:24] nesoi: try dmesg | grep eth1 [16:24] yuriks: removal removes the app, complete removes the config for it too [16:24] noodlesgc: ah, thanks [16:25] it says eth1: link up 100Mbps full duplex, which sounds good. but it also says eth1: no IPv6 routers present [16:25] that's what it says for eth1 [16:25] anyone know a way for me to pass a list of files to cp? i've been trying cat, but it appends "\r" to the end of each line, which screws up the copy. [16:25] yuriks: its like remove vs --purge remove [16:25] nesoi: oh, dunno then [16:25] Pici: i try to install it and it says i need to update pidgin-data and libpurple0...nonsense; but i will try; btw: is kiso as good as daemon t00ls? [16:25] shearn89: you can glob with * [16:25] Slart: can't find it, there are too many packages [16:26] ActionParsnip1: glob? like wildcards? [16:26] shearn89: you can use find =exec too [16:26] if I try ping 192.168.1.1 it says Network is unreachable [16:26] shearn89: the same [16:26] so what next? [16:26] anyone [16:26] shearn89, You can see how they do it in the !clone example for packages.. [16:26] !clone [16:26] Pici: btw: i'm on gnome...maybe thats why he asks for that... [16:26] 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 [16:26] archman_: Why not use gisomount if you're using gnome? [16:26] does it automatically list and remove stuff that depends on it? [16:27] MOUD_: "sudo apt-get install python-gtk2", that might the one [16:27] Pici: it support just iso mounting, i need complete support [16:27] yuriks: you can use sudo apt-get --purge autoremove to check [16:27] Slart: ok, thanks [16:27] Jack_Sparrow: but that is designed around aptitude, which can read a file line by line... [16:27] archman_: The kiso description doesn't say that it mounts images at all. [16:27] Pici: 8.10 [16:27] I'm doing a simple cat $file | while read line... [16:27] ok so network tools shows eth1:avahi with an ip address and netmask, but eth1 itself has nothing... what does that mean? [16:27] MOUD_: but it should have installed that already, if you installed it using apt.. [16:28] Pici: ??? [16:28] shearn89: look into xargs [16:28] !xargs [16:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about xargs [16:28] man xargs [16:28] shearn89: see the manpage [16:28] Pici: cheers. [16:28] Pici: oh ok, i see LOL [16:28] aha! that could be it. [16:28] Slart: I already have the newest version [16:29] * sully sighs [16:29] MOUD_: how did you install screenlets? [16:29] anyone knows of any gnome image mounting tools except gisomount? [16:29] sully: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently? [16:29] Slart: using synaptic package manager [16:30] quick question - whats the sed command to append to the end of a line? [16:30] MOUD_: and what is the exact error message? [16:31] shearn89: sed 's/(.*)/\1this should work/' [16:31] when I try to configure eth1 using network tools it says "the interface does not exist" but ifconfig shows it. anyone know what I should try? [16:31] Slart: cheers. [16:31] Slart: File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 25, in import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk [16:31] Pici: 8.10 [16:31] Pici: mount to fuse or to loop. what does it mean? [16:31] actionparsnip1: meh, looks like it's a bit broken, it didn't remove anything for me [16:32] MOUD_, are you on kubuntu? [16:32] I have a stupid question: is it safe to change the root password? Would doing so stop processes from starting the way it would in Windows? [16:32] sully: 2.6.27-11.23 is in the 'proposed' repository. [16:32] * sully is really tired of wireless issues [16:32] Seveas: yes, I installed Ubuntu and then I installed Kde Desktop so it always start as kubuntu [16:33] MOUD_, you might be missing the python-gtk2 package [16:33] Pici: thanks [16:33] n8tuser: I wish I had the time to understand commands and scripts but I only have about 2 hrs per day to mess with this thing. It's a losing battle if I can't have something easy that my wife can set up her own alarms/events without learning scripting or commands. I don't want to use Windows anymore :( [16:33] Seveas: I already have the newest version [16:33] downloading stuff via ftp torugh nautilus is extremely slow. is that a know issue? [16:33] MOUD_, then something is very broken on your system [16:33] hmm [16:34] FoolsRun, chaqnging the root password changes one thing: the root password :) [16:34] maybe because I installed python 2.5? [16:34] Seveas: so, for example, if I have a server that's logged in as root, but I don't know the password, I can just change it? [16:34] Finally i could have a modem 56k working on intrepi, it is ok till aut where it loops this is the log :http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/104881/ any idea? [16:34] MOUD_, ehh, if that didn't come as default it may well have broken it [16:34] Are there known detrimental effects of using bleachbit? (http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/) [16:35] FoolsRun, with sudo you can become root and change the rootpassword [16:35] hello. i have a LPIA Alternate Intrepid CD installing... but im getting errors about not finding a kernal. How can i fix this? [16:35] Cool. I figured, but I'm advising people who are used to Windows and if you did that in Windows it would freak out :) [16:35] Seveas: no, it didn't. I installed it because of the "Hardware Drivers" always hanging [16:35] RegressLess -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246003 this has a pretty simple script, and you call it from cron, he is using rhythmbox so replace it with mp3 player [16:36] hello [16:36] hello suwro [16:36] I have an ishue that I don't understand. [16:36] regarding nameservers mx entry [16:37] I rebooted to 7.10 and everything works fine [16:37] so give up on 8.04? [16:37] suwro, this is ubuntu support, not dns geniuses :) (Feel free to ask though, but you may not be able to find help here) [16:37] how would I uninstall 8.04? [16:37] Pici: what package would that be? linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic? [16:37] to just go back to 7.10? [16:37] let's say I have 2 servers 1 for web and second for mail, also the web has mail capabilities too. If I say in dns that [16:37] IN 10 mx.[mailserver].net [16:37] IN 20 ns.[dnsserver].net [16:38] dows ns.dnsserver keep mails on pooling if mailserver is down? [16:38] hmm. I'm using "$" to denote the end of a line in sed, and it keeps replacing the beginning of the line... [16:39] suwro, that depends on the mailserver config. DNS just determines where others will deliver mail addressed to you [16:39] shearn89, are you sure you escaped the $ in the shell? Else the shell will interpret it [16:39] Seveas: i didn't. let me try that. [16:40] Seveas: ok - what to read to understand this thing - I'm using postfix, but I dont know where to start to look for - or at least what to look at. [16:40] is this relaying? [16:40] my graphic card does not support 3D (system freezes). How can i config gnome to not use any graphic eye candy (appearance>visual effects>none) from the console? [16:40] Seveas: i did [[ sed 's/\$/ test/' tmp ]], just seems to output the file with no change. [16:41] suwro, postfix can definitely do what you want. postfix documentation on its website should be a good point to start. Make sure both servers accept mail for your domain and that the fallback has an explicit mail route set to the master [16:41] My external HD shows up in media/, does that mean its contents have been copied to my internal hd or is that just where it hangs out in the directory tree? [16:42] VioletsPie they have not been copied. [16:42] VioletsPie: that's where it gets mounted to [16:42] k thanks [16:43] hi guys does someone know if it excist a dc++ client for linux? [16:43] shearn89, ah, in a single-qouted string the $ does not need escaping. It should just work (and does for me...) [16:43] Seveas: hmm. [16:43] elmnas, there is dc-gui for instance [16:43] ok [16:44] Whats the best IRC software for Ubuntu? [16:44] so if I boot with kernal 2.6.22-16 everything works, but with 2.6.24-23 my ethernet doesn't work [16:44] Qubexy__, depends on taste. I prefer xchat myself [16:44] !beste [16:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about beste [16:44] !best [16:44] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:44] if I always use 2.6.22-16 will I ever be able to upgrade? [16:44] Qubexy__, Question of taste? Xchat is my recommendation. [16:44] what does the exec command do? Yes i have read the man file but i still dont understand it [16:44] isiah, it executes another command, replacing the current one [16:45] I have some problems with Xchat [16:45] but is there anything similar? [16:45] Seveas: could you give me an example? [16:45] Qubexy__, kvirc, irssi... there are many irc clients [16:45] is there a downside to using an old kernal [16:45] isiah, if you do 'ls' in a shell, it'll run that command and then the shell comes back. If you say 'exec ls', the shell will run the command as a replacement for itself (so you don't get your shell back) [16:46] anyone know the answer? [16:46] Seveas: thank you [16:46] Qubexy__, Could try to solve the problems instead? :P If not the only thing I've used besides xchat is ircII [16:46] or is everyone here kind of a novice? [16:46] I'll go digg [16:46] seveas how do I reach the other discs in dc when I want to share ? [16:46] a IRC client that supports identd? [16:46] cant find em :/ [16:46] burkmat, if you want a terminal-based client, use irssi [16:47] elmnas, I wouldn't have a clue, never used dc [16:47] How do I theme my Qt apps to use my currently-selected GTK theme? [16:47] ok [16:47] Seveas, Already got ircII working, any obvious benefits of switching to irssi...? [16:47] Hello all [16:47] Qubexy__, that's a windows-ism. On linux you simply install an identd (such as pidentd or nullidentd) [16:47] Seveas: Thank you. [16:47] burkmat, other than not being left behind in the 20th century, no :) [16:48] Seveas: as a extension to xchat? [16:48] how can i install vmware ? [16:48] Anyone? [16:48] it's not available as pkg [16:48] anyone have expertise here? Is there a downside to running 8.04 with the 7.10 kernal? [16:48] Qubexy__, no, it's a searate program that simply runs in the background and answers identd requests [16:48] Seveas, ;) [16:48] nesoi, there's no "7.10" kernel. [16:48] The kernel version number is Linux's. [16:48] how can I permanently remove ubuntu and reinstall it?

[16:49] MindVirus, the 2.6.22-16 kernal [16:49] Is there some way to increase the size of the default DNS resolver on ubuntu? Maybe something in /etc/resolv.conf. [16:49] I think I have a /usr on another partition too, should I remove it? [16:49] LateralLink: what .bundle [16:49] mikejet, what do you mean with "the size of the dns resolver"? [16:49] Would anyone know why [[ sed 's/$/ TEST /' file ]] is replacing the beginning of the line, not adding to the end of it? [16:49] Ug. I mean to increase the DNS cache size. [16:49] nesoi, apart from updates and upgrades to the kernel, there shouldn't be any downsides. Upgrades and updates come with more programs using more features, though, so something may not be supported. [16:50] MOUD, up to you. [16:50] LateralLink: pkg name? [16:50] from their download section on their site [16:50] mikejet: size?.. how do you mean? [16:50] what's the best version of emacs to install for beginners, or should i learn vi?

[16:50] My DNS cache seems to be completely disabled ... the same DNS queries happen about every second. [16:50] mikejet: ah..hmm [16:50] mikejet, there is no dns cache by default on ubuntu [16:51] MindVirus: ok, thanks. Now... where did I put the CD? :/ [16:51] mikejet, you might want to install nscd, which is a very simple but effective dns cache [16:51] MindVirus, thanks. the problem is that the latest kernal for some reason doesn't work with my ethernet cards. [16:51] !info dnsmasq [16:51] dnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. In component universe, is optional.

[17:33] Django[NL], Understood, which is why you would need grub on the mbr of the internal pointing to a /boot on the internal that can access the external if it exists or give a menu option to boot the internal/vista [17:34] crdlb: Nope. Apt alleges that gtk2-engines replaces it, but i see no smooth engine in that package [17:34] I know this is a open office impress question, but its really simple...How do you insert a text box in impress?

Yeah I knew it was possible between Linux hosts, but I didn't want to go on a wild goose chase trying to do it with Windows if it wasn't possible. [17:35] thanks [17:35] bthornton, ok :) [17:35] And the help system is no help for this...I guess its supposed to be very apparent or something [17:38] AJC_Z0: ah, upstream gtk2-engines has removed the smooth engine because it was unmaintained [17:39] Help!

The thing is that after upgrade, the keyboard arrows keys don't work anymore in gnome. They work in the virtual consoles and GDM, but don't in Gnome.

[18:17] Ladywarrior: Easy way to tell is to try. Drop in the Ubuntu Live CD and see if it works. :) [18:18] Arelis: You could also try #ubuntu-offtopic, but your answer may be somewhat biased, it is an Ubuntu channel after all. [18:18] Ladywarrior: perhaps.. it depends on the camera and the printer.. linuxprinting.org has a list of printers and how well they work.. cameras might be trickier [18:18] ok thanks Zzeiss will try it [18:18] willemb: go private [18:18] Ladywarrior: The problem is that lots of cameras (especially) the name on the outside has no relationship to the actual circuitry inside. [18:18] Ladywarrior: but do as Zzeiss suggested.. try with a live cd first [18:18] oh ok thanks slart [18:19] Ladywarrior: So, you can't tell without trying (the mfgr changes chipsets in mid-run because another chipset got cheaper or they got a better deal. === ghost is now known as Guest15215 [18:19] just got the live cd today I did look at it some this morning so far I like it so if my printer and cameras work with it will install [18:19] pymike: see 'man ln' [18:20] .

I've got a ppp device hooked to my system, which shares the internet with one other system. I am currently ssh'd into a remote system and it takes FOREVER for characters to show up. When I watch the bandwidth the shared system is taking most of the bandwidth and its being capped at a really low speed eth0 (shared system) uses 4.5Kb/s while ppp is outputing 4.8Kb/s which means that the rest of my system is only [19:19] sending .3Kb to the ssh.. typically I have higher bandwidth speeds than this when I'm not in an ssh session. [19:19] disconnection is lame =( [19:19] folks my nvidia driver reports failed load module type1 what can I do?

When i pluged my usb keyboard, the Fn key toggled, but when i disconnected it, it didn't toggle back... Any tips?

[19:41] hi, can i install the windows 7 beta in a virtual box? if so, what do i need?

I tried to find the runlevel script that calls dhclient in my machine but I couldn't find it. Where is this script? [19:41] lasivian: depends on your definition of "can't" [19:41] archman_ yes synaptic and apt-get. no go. [19:41] chrisj: via grub [19:42] jrib: I want irc to fail to run if root starts it [19:42] barbarella: yes a small database to get my customers data, and a history of what has been done to their equipment...regarding LAN or software [19:42] obvious security risk [19:42] chrisj: I recommend you to backup the boot sector [19:42] archman_ I am running ubuntu 8.04 [19:42] MaximLevitsky: allright ... so this partition is all i need to fully reinstall vista (which has aside from that been wiped)? [19:42] chrisj: yes [19:42] ubuntuuser101: hmm... i have the same program and i havent got that dep, im on gutsy [19:42] jrib: I forget i'm logged in as root and start irssi [19:42] chrisj: but, [19:42] wolter: you would need vbox and win7.... it works without anything else [19:42] how to fix my no-sound-in-firefox problem? [19:43] just add the vbox repos to your sources.list [19:43] chrisj: the code in that partition has some assumptions about the rest of partition table [19:43] wolter:this is not bill's channel [19:43] Nightchill: what in firefox would play sounds? the flash player? [19:43] chrisj: yep [19:43] lasivian: write a wrapper for irssi? Or create an alias for root, like alias irssi='echo you are root!' [19:43] chrisj: I here shrink vista partition, and enlarged the linux one [19:43] oooh alias, nice [19:43] thanks [19:43] MaximLevitsky: 1. so i should backup the partition table as well? 2. Is there some nice tool to do this or do I just copy the first bytes of /dev/sda? [19:43] ubuntuuser101: just this... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=it&searchon=names&keywords=libltdl7 [19:43] barbarella, it is neither troll's channel. thanks HughCock. Nice name, by the way. === mrwes is now known as mrwes_away [19:44] chrisj: then I did use that recovery option, to reinstall vista [19:44] chrisj: and it failed [19:44] wolter: thanks, people have been telling me that all my life :-) [19:44] chrisj: yeah, and i've installed restricted package, and adobe flash [19:44] MaximLevitsky: Hm that sucks.... [19:44] chrisj: you might have an option to create a backup disks in vista [19:44] archman_ any idea how I can install it? [19:45] hbit:there are a lot of web based application which can solve your problem [19:45] Nightchill: it might be that pulseaudio is running and takes control over the sound device [19:45] chrisj: those disks replace functionallity of backup partition [19:45] hbit:try to look at hotscripts.com [19:45] ubuntuuser101: it's not for your hardy, but...you can always try...but be careful, dl it and install [19:45] try intrepid [19:45] Nightchill: you should try to either make pulseaudio work with ALSA or deactivate pulseaudio. [19:45] chrisj: I crearted them (2 disks) and this is how I reinstalled vista here [19:45] which is better cat5e or cat6 if you going to wire up 3 servers? [19:46] chrisj: how do i make them work together [19:46] MaximLevitsky: Ah that sounds like a good option - any hints on how to do that? [19:46] Nightchill: Which version of Ubuntu do you run (8.04)? [19:46] chrisj: Acer eRecovery should have an option for that [19:46] no, Intrepid [19:47] chrisj: there you can create a 'factory install disk' [19:47] hi guys can someone help me please find a driver to a logitech 5000 webcam [19:47] chrisj: using burner obovosly [19:47] MaximLevitsky: i'll try that, thanks ... will have to configure vista first though [19:47] hello === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [19:47] ubuntuuser101: you sure you got mp3splt for hardy? [19:47] archman_ everything I click on brings me to that libtools. I did download that earlier and compiled it, but it did not solve the issue. [19:47] chrisj: no you won't need, the install from disk is same as from partition [19:47] modprobe rt2500 ==> "module rt2500 not found" how to solve it? [19:47] Nightchill: make sure the flashplayer's version is at least 10, and do the following in a terminal `asoundconf set-pulseaudio' ... i think that should do it [19:48] chrisj: actually disks contain copy of the partition [19:48] archman_ I got the files from http://www.getdeb.net/release/3511 [19:48] chrisj: flash version is 10, and it's set to Headset cause i don't have speakers [19:48] chrisj: and first one i bootable [19:48] can somebody please answer my question [19:48] Nightchill: can you try speakers setting (what kind of setting is that?)? [19:48] ubuntuuser101: use mp3splt-gtk, works to me... [19:49] chrisj: you have 2 partitions there right? (actually 3 : recovery : acer : data_ [19:49] how do i install knemo in ubuntu? [19:49] chrisj: I installed linux on second partition [19:49] MaximLevitsky: i'm not sure i got this. what i meant was that vista is completly unconfigured for me (just purchased the laptop - no language / users created yet etc.). are you saying i should just copy the partition (from a live cd) to a couple of DVDs? [19:49] ubuntuuser101: you could install it from synaptic... [19:49] MaximLevitsky: yes, I do. [19:49] chrisj: like i said, i have logitech's usb headset and my asoundconf gives me 2 options "nForce2 Headset" [19:49] jrib: excellent, that works perfectly, thanks [19:50] Nightchill: could you just for the sake of testing try all possible settings? [19:50] Can anyone think of any other programs that root should not be running? [19:50] chrisj: yeah, I'll do that now [19:50] I'm wanting to protect me from myself :) [19:51] MaximLevitsky: or did you mean some backup option in vista's ui? [19:51] archman_ I'm able to install mp3splt from synaptic, but cannot find mp3splt-gtk. when I try to intall mp3splt-gtk from the deb I get "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0" [19:52] lasivian:don't push the start button anymore [19:52] hi [19:52] ubuntuuser101: then install libgtk2.0-0 from synaptic [19:52] anyone home [19:52] barbarella: thanks,I'll check it...I've seen openerp but I need a smaller thing [19:52] chrisj: no, you start eRecovery, insert disks, and this application will write the disks [19:52] ubuntuuser101: then install libgtk2.0-0 dev from synaptic [19:52] oh wow [19:52] a real person lol [19:52] I love ubuntu its great and fast and no bugs [19:52] is there a gui bandwidth monitor for ubuntu? [19:52] is there a gui bandwidth monitor for ubuntu? [19:52] is there a gui bandwidth monitor for ubuntu? [19:52] ruhaan_jslip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:53] ubuntuuser101: libgtk2.0-dev [19:53] ruhaan_jslip: if you use gnome, try system -> adminstration -> system monitor [19:53] ubuntuuser101: and libgtk2.00 [19:53] i am lookign for somethin more advanced [19:53] netspeed applet =) [19:53] that shows weekly bandwidth [19:53] or monthly [19:53] somehthin like du meter [19:53] chrisj: does not work [19:54] ubuntuuser101: report if works [19:54] archman_ ok working on it. [19:54] Nightchill hm ... that's weird ... it's all that came to my mind now [19:54] barbarella: hey now, i'm not that stupid :) [19:54] hi all , can some one help me get a signal from TV using a HDMI-DVI cable? [19:55] lasivian:;-) [19:55] MaximLevitsky: I'll look into that, thanks so far [19:55] chrisj: I was away for a while [19:55] MaximLevitsky: np [19:55] chrisj: yeah,i have no clue either. guess i'll just remove ubu and give my arch boot some more hdd space [19:55] archman_ nope installed them and it still gives the same error. [19:55] Nightchill: you could also deactivate pulseaudio [19:55] ubuntuuser101: dependency of gtk? [19:56] chrisj: well, i'll try that out too [19:56] Nightchill: that may be easier - just remove the pulseaudio packages and set all application to use ALSA instead [19:56] archman_ Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0 [19:56] Nightchill: ALSA usually works just fine [19:56] but all i'm using is OSS, not alsa, not pulse [19:56] archman_ maybe a version issue? [19:56] ubuntuuser101: ???? you installed libgtk2.0-dev? [19:56] chrisj: alsa does not work for me [19:56] Nightchill: why is that? [19:56] hi all , can some one help me get a signal from TV using a HDMI-DVI cable? [19:56] archman_ yes [19:56] ubuntuuser101: AND libgtk2.0-0 [19:57] chrisj: another option, but rought, is to take another disk of vista (you could even download it from some 'illegal' place, and then use the number on back of computer and version that you have (I guess home premium) to install, it will activate ok [19:57] archman_ yes [19:57] ubuntuuser101: i just can't believe it :D [19:57] chrisj: alsa worked till i replaced my speakers with usb headset [19:57] archman_ I can take a screen shot. I installed them. [19:57] hi every buudy [19:57] chrisj: I did that to change language of the system to english [19:57] MaximLevitsky: hm ... i started the eRecovery application bt it doesnt show me any option to burn cds [19:57] ubuntuuser101: type packages ubuntu in google and go to first page, search for the prog there, for YOUR version of ubutnu [19:58] archman_, ubuntuuser101: http://packages.ubuntu.com is the proper site [19:58] chrisj: take look carefully, it might be called factory reset or so [19:58] RandyAlberg : shoot, what is the question [19:58] ubuntuuser101: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mp3splt&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all [19:58] chrisj: look at all tabs [19:58] Pici: yeah, that's it ;) [19:58] hi guys [19:58] i plugged the dvi to TV and the HDMI to my computer [19:59] put on DVI channel on TV [19:59] and cant get a signal [19:59] * lasivian just got done disassembling an RSA key fob [19:59] RanyAlberg: what video card?

When starting, I was confronted with an error stating that some power manager wasn't installed properly, and all I had was that, the mouse-cursor and a black background. I added a new user and everything worked perfectly. Could anyone tell me how to restore my old user? [19:59] MaximLevitsky: that's all that is displayed to me [19:59] MaximLevitsky: do i have to select any of those?

[20:23] chrisj: I used 2, probably this is OK [20:24] chrisj: I might lost the 3nd [20:24] william__ for example on the site the download file for Ibex server is called 'ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso' [20:24] RanyAlbeg: not finding anything [20:24] chrisj: the third one is probably backup of user settings [20:24] CarlFK1 what command? [20:24] chrisj: you can select 'create factory install disk' [20:25] dayo_: sudo modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/" [20:25] MaximLevitsky: i think it did that on it's own - i didn't select anything - it just popped up [20:25] MaximLevitsky: what laptop have you got? mine is a 8930 [20:25] Hey everyone [20:25] dayo_ yes, I saw that but I am doing an install on a server over a network [20:25] CarlFK1 just run it? [20:25] chrisj: aspire 5720G [20:25] dayo_: etc/modues is no good: [ 19.952019] netconsole: no IP address for eth0, aborting [20:25] MaximLevitsky: did you have any trouble getting sound to work in ubuntu? it didn't ork on the live-cd for me [20:25] Is there anything about Linux Mint that make its superior, worth installing, better, easier, etc to Ubuntu? [20:25] dayo_: I want it to run once each boot, after eth0 is up [20:25] CarlFK1 tried dhclient? [20:26] dayo_ I am installing ubuntu server edition on a remove machine over SSH [20:26] techsuperfreak: thanks for helping [20:26] BOSOCSLIFE: saw post on apache config. Did you modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file? [20:26] chrisj: what exactly doesn't work in sound? [20:26] RanyAlbeg: np, i will keep looking [20:26] MaximLevitsky: settings all seem find, but i don't hear anything (also tried to max/unmute everything in alsamixer) [20:27] techsuperfreak: i appreciate that [20:27] chrisj: probably another alsa bug, but it is fixable [20:27] archman_ error with that at the ./configure stage. though said it needed Libmp3splt, so I'm going to try compiling that. if this doesn't work. I will upgrade and see. [20:28] Is this the proper channel to ask a ubuntu server question? [20:28] ubuntuuser101-2 ok, follow the INSTALL file also [20:28] chrisj: you might want to send a mail to alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net [20:28] MaximLevitsky: read something about fixes but it seems to involves installing a program called hda-verb [20:28] CarlFK1 manually? [20:28] ubuntuuser101-2 i think it said that it needed lib [20:28] stormblue: It is, but you can ask in #ubuntu-server as well. [20:28] archman_ thanks for all your time and help. is there a place I can make as sugestion for this program to be incorporated in the repositories? :) [20:28] william__ do u have the server edition? [20:28] Is there anything about Linux Mint that make its superior, worth installing, better, easier, etc to Ubuntu? [20:28] Thank you. [20:29] archman_ ok I'll be sure to read that first. [20:29] chrisj: yep, this one allows to talk directly to the sound chip, but fixing this directly in kernel driver is better [20:29] oCean_: at one time i think i did [20:29] RukusX, codecs, if you really care about it [20:29] ubuntuuser101-2 hehe, np... dunno bout reps, i'm using gutsy, i have to build from source, to it one way, or another... [20:29] oCean_: i did everything everyone here is telling me i just dont know where i messed up or if i missed something [20:30] ubuntuuser101-2 now, build the libs, and then the app, tell me if you succeded. === dimitar is now known as dimitars [20:30] MaximLevitsky: Hm any hints on how to write that mail? what infos should i include? [20:30] BOSOCSLIFE: at this point, browsing still gets you at /var/www/ directory? [20:30] WEll, i have my Ubuntu Distro running at about 90% of what i want it to, other than, i hate totem. [20:30] chrisj: just a minute [20:30] MaximLevitsky: sure [20:30] oCean_: yes www.boscoslife.com still points to /var/www [20:31] Hello everyone..I'm new here and got stuck wid a prob...whenever i click on software updates i get an error mssg .."unable to get exclusive lock".. [20:31] GARIMA: there must be an apt process still running [20:31] CiAoOoOooooooo a tutti in canale ;-)) [20:31] BOSOCSLIFE: ok. "cd" to /etc/apache2/sites-available. And see what the file "default" says. [20:31] hello [20:31] Hi, short & stupid I wasn't able to find an answer: How can I see on the console if a certain package is installed? or maybe search in my installed packages? Some option to apt-get or apt-cache ? [20:31] i checked it out...no other background process is running [20:32] !apt > Christian_GER [20:32] Christian_GER, please see my private message [20:32] GARIMA: how did you check? [20:32] :) === Gennaro_Mc is now known as \\Gennaro [20:33] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/m673faf80 === pedro_c is now known as pedro_c^away [20:34] chrisj: you need to tell them contents of /proc/asound/Intel/codec* [20:34] chrisj: but better to use alsa-info.sh script one very good guy wrote [20:34] http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh [20:35] boas [20:35] BOSOCSLIFE: ah well, w/o making it all too complicated, that's the one that had to be edited. (but I see you already have) After this edit, you did "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" ? [20:35] MaximLevitsky: thanks [20:35] first result for it on google [20:35] oCean_: yes i did [20:36] CarlFK1 i'm not sure. try sticking the command into your /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.py? [20:36] Hi, I have a problem with my card reader, after some time it seems to "desappear" [20:36] william__ any progress? [20:36] lshw (when still there): http://peter-server.homelinux.net/lshw.html [20:36] BOSOCSLIFE: ok. In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf it says "include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/" ? [20:36] oCean_: i have 3 websites i need to do this for 2 of them ned to be done now [20:37] hi [20:37] is it possible to use logrotate for non-log files? like backups [20:37] oCean_: /etc/apache2/sites-available# ls default default-ssl default.save www.boscoslife.com [20:37] How do I change a user's email address from foo@localhost to foo@bar.com ? [20:37] BOSOCSLIFE: ah, ok. Well actually you should be able to "define" those different sites in the sites-available directory. [20:38] BOSOCSLIFE: try adding a / after public_html [20:38] Templar_Xion: what server are you using? [20:38] i know, its silly but ive had apache act weird like that [20:38] Threetimes: Ubuntu [20:38] Threetimes: 8.10 [20:38] I don't mean the OS, I mean the MTA (like postfix or exim) [20:38] BOSOCSLIFE: also, pls see /var/log/apache2/error_log after restarting the apache server. Helpful information might be there [20:39] Threetimes: Oh. Sorry. Postfix. [20:39] ok (I use it too) [20:39] im looking for a app to manage my ipod. anybody know one? === erik__ is now known as blue-printf [20:40] lol [20:40] With postfix, you have to add bar.com to your mydestination line in /etc/postfix/main/cf [20:40] oCean_: so what am i doing wrong [20:40] BOSOCSLIFE: you are editing the sites-enabled/000-default file? [20:40] mine looks like this: [20:40] mydestination = peter-server.homelinux.net, peter-server, localhost [20:40] deany i am lost about what you just said [20:40] lol [20:41] BOSOCSLIFE: I don't know yet.. have you checked /var/log/apache2/error_log after restarting apache? [20:41] Threetimes: And then? [20:41] what is the difference between intrepid and ibex? [20:41] I have a server (Drapper with 2.6.15-51 kernel) that when I boot it up it acts like it's going to load and then I see, "Okay boot the kernel" as the last line. The screen flickers a little before this and a little after this. If I boot up into recovery mode I can boot right up. Any ideas on what this could be or any logs I should check? I've checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/demsg and didn't see anything that screamed there was an issue. Any ideas [20:41] restart postfix [20:41] the "/etc/apache/sites-enabled/000-default" file [20:41] william__ Ubuntu 8.10 is aka Intrepid Ibex [20:41] dayo_: this looks good: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/netconsole.sh [20:41] i havent read full convo so i might have missed something [20:41] william__ Ubuntu 8.04 is aka Hardy Heron [20:41] sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload [20:42] im looking for a app to manage my ipod. anybody know one? [20:42] i just want to know what i am doing wrong lol why it is not loading right [20:42] #xubuntu [20:42] CarlFK1 awesome i'm gonna check that [20:42] Does Ubuntu 8.10 64bit come with 32bit openGL support or do I need to download a package for that? [20:42] Templar_Xion: really, it is that simple! Edit 1 line and reload. [20:42] hmm, as far as I can tell there are exacltly 0 install instructions for ubuntu server version over a network [20:42] Threetimes: Hm. Alright I'll try. [20:43] CarlFK1 it's not there. What did u install for that? [20:43] archman_ I think I got it running. there is a window up on my screen anyhow. :D woooo hooo. [20:43] How do I increase the resolution on a toshiba satelllite above 600x800 [20:43] dayo_: i made a new file: sudo modprobe... [20:43] BOSOCSLIFE: are you editing the sites-avail or sites-enabled file [20:43] Threetimes: How doy ou indicate to the OS that the user foo's email is foo@bar.com andn ot foo@localhost? [20:44] dayo_: i am 'guessing' anything in there gets run [20:44] deany: the changes in his configs have not resulted in anything yet.. seems DocRoot is still /var/www [20:44] Hi, I have a problem with my card reader, after some time it seems to "desappear" [20:44] lshw: http://peter-server.homelinux.net/lshw.html [20:44] It is a Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash Card Reader/Writer (Internal/External) [20:44] CarlFK1 i see [20:44] sites-enabled is what you edit.. least what ive always worked with [20:45] Templar_Xion: what do you mean? [20:45] the 000-default file.. [20:45] deany: sites-available is the directory and default is the file name but since i have 2 sites i need to make a secound file that links to www.boscoslife.info as well to its own home dir [20:45] hi guys i have a queston i have ubuntu 8.10 and am using ff for webbrowsing i need to know if i can get an adblock programme to use in it ? [20:45] well try the sites-enabled folder then [20:45] 000-default [20:45] thats the one you need to edit [20:46] hi all [20:46] deany: my 'default' is *not* prefixed with 000 [20:46] william__ u can try this. it's for 8.04 server, but give it a shot http://blog.jeffduckett.com/articles/2008/08/04/install-ubuntu-hardy-8-04-remotely-via-ssh-32-or-64-bit/ [20:46] Hello! [20:46] Templar_Xion: I think you may want to change the myhostname line in main.cf [20:46] deany: however, if I edit my "default" file (e.g. change DocRoot) and restart apache, all is fine. [20:46] oCean_: maybe not, but ive got a musicindex site and vidiscript setup all using the sites-enabled folders 000-default [20:47] always has been , for me anyway [20:47] Is there any way to image my Ubuntu install HD? I've gotton ahold of the Windows 7 Beta and I'd like to install it. But I don't want to lose my Ubuntu install that I've worked hard on. What should I do? [20:47] deany: ah. I see. Meanwhile, I'm still wondering whether boscolife has checked his error_log :/ [20:47] im no expert but im just sayin what I do for mine.. [20:47] i cant find a driver for my lexmark z645.... [20:47] deany: bo/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# ls 000-default www.boscoslife.com the 000-default file says this http://pastebin.com/m587d9a69 [20:47] hi guys i have a queston i have ubuntu 8.10 and am using ff for webbrowsing i need to know if i can get an adblock programme to use in it ? [20:48] anyone else can help me with "No signal" message while connecting HDMI to DVI? [20:48] i just sort of stumbled blindly and made my site work :) [20:48] weed37: sure, install adblock or adblock+ [20:48] oCean_: yes and nothing was there [20:48] but ive never worked with the sites-available folder. [20:48] weed37, just install the adblock plugin? [20:48] weed37: you can install the same plugins in linux as you can in windows (almost) [20:48] BOSOCSLIFE: nothing? Only the "resuming normal operations" ? [20:48] AnneShirley: Boot from a live cd, resize your ubuntu partition, install windows, boot from your live cd again, restore grub and you're done [20:48] to me that was always a template or something to use, and to put in enabled when edited [20:48] AnneShirley: i'll find some more detailed information for you soon [20:48] weed37: Another excelent option to install and use privoxy - a filtering web proxy [20:49] i have tar.bz2 file. how do i install it? [20:49] but there is 000-default already.. i dunno.. [20:49] oCean_: yes [20:49] Threetimes: Thanks! [20:49] That way you can have all HTTP clients us it [20:49] BOSOCSLIFE: do you have a 000-default file in sites-enabled at least? [20:49] BOSOCSLIFE: that 'proves' that your changes have not had *any* effect... [20:49] deany: http://pastebin.com/m587d9a69 [20:49] that is that file [20:50] Anyone suggest why I'd want to use an LVM inside an encrypted volume? Or can I just as easily create regular partitions within the encrypted volume? [20:50] dimitars: You don't. You extract the contents with "tar -xvf file.tar.bz2" and look at the extracted files for something like README or INSTALL [20:50] BOSOCSLIFE: im not askin about the default file in sites-avail.. you arent gettin anywhere so far.. so try the file in sites-enabled [20:50] dimitars: What are you trying to install? [20:50] chmac: lvm allows it to be changeable without data loss/move [20:50] firefox [20:50] dimitars: in a terminal, tar -zvjf file.tar.bz2 to extract then cd to the directory and read the install and readme files [20:51] ikonia: And the rest of the space is unusable according to the installer if I create a regular partition! [20:51] dimitars: firefox is in the repo [20:51] :) [20:51] dimitars: Why aren't you installing the Ubuntu package for firefox? [20:51] chmac: correct [20:51] BOSOCSLIFE: so either apache hasn't been restarted, or something else is overriding the DocumentRoot [20:51] dimitars: in a terminal, tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2 sorry [20:51] dimitars: firefox is also installed by default on any ubuntu install [20:51] i have problems with firefox by defaulth and i was recomended to install from the mozilla site [20:51] AnneShirley: assuming win7's installation i like vista's, you can follow this guide: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm [20:51] I used some other guide with vista, but looking at this one, i'd say skip page 5 (don't try vista's bootloader for ubuntu) [20:51] dimitars: you where told wrong then [20:51] dimitars: that will do more damage than good [20:51] what browsers are you guys using? i've got ff3 on xubuntu and it's *really* shaky when it comes to some flash stuff [20:51] dimitars: I recommend you fix the problem(s) and ignore whoever gave that terribe advice [20:51] can anybody tell me how to install the sys/socket.h file library in linux [20:52] i give up.. if you cant even verify the existance of the file [20:52] dayo_: thats flash - not firefox [20:52] mani_: thats a header [20:52] mani_: search for it on packages.ubuntu.com [20:52] BOSOCSLIFE: try #apache dude [20:52] mani_: what ar eyou trying to do ? [20:52] mani_: what are you trying to do ? [20:52] ikonia i see. is there any way around this mess? i'm sick of my browser freezing or crashing [20:52] dayo_: what version of ubuntu are you using [20:53] dimitars: This isn't a Firefox channel, but describe your problem in concise and technically specific fashion [20:53] I am making C programs and header file sys/socket.h not find by system [20:53] anyone else can help me with "No signal" message while connecting HDMI to DVI? === draven is now known as dravenm4 [20:53] mani_: what C program are you trying to make ?

[20:54] i opened synaptic package manager n got d error mssg.."dpkg was interrupted".. [20:54] mhall119: the PPC version works for a few people [20:54] BOSOCSLIFE: allthough I think your config is correct (at least for the default file) i agree w/ deany.. they might be able to help you even better [20:54] hello everyone, i need some help [20:54] mani_: it's the libc headers/development package [20:54] mani_: you'll find it in the package manager [20:54] ikonia: I got it to install, but I'm only getting 640x480 safe graphics mode from X [20:54] thanks guys for answering my question [20:54] !ask > davidosa [20:54] davidosa, please see my private message [20:54] is there a program that will create an iso from a disc?

[21:10] how can I get ubuntu to give up trying to mount my bad ntfs disk so it will continue to boot? ^C isn't working.

[21:11] Dre4m: Right click on the desktop selector, etc. [21:11] Dre4m right-click on the workspace switcher [21:11] simple Eugene I'm sick and tired of the linux world geeks assuming newbies know the system and how to use it and I'm tired of the treatment that I should just autmoatically know this stuff [21:11] CONNECT irc.mozilla.org [21:11] whyameye how come? [21:11] whyameye tried rescue mode? [21:11] Anyone got any idea why nvidia restricted drivers wouldn't be showing up in the Restricted Drivers Manager in Gutsy? [21:12] and people wonder why windows is still in use [21:12] dayo_: is a chmod 666 /usr/share system beyond repair? [21:12] MaximLevitsky: do you think it's smart to resize vista's partition to something like 30gb with gparted when vista's partitioner won't let me go beneath 70gb (although only 19gb are used) [21:12] 2 rows 2 collums? still in configmanager i can only select 1 number of desktops . . grayed out [21:12] ronhalfdanr: You appear to be over reacting.... [21:12] dayo_: what's rescue mode? I can't get to command line because ubuntu LivdCD won't finish booting...gets stuck trying to mount bad disk. [21:12] 2 rows 2 collums? still in configmanager i can only select 1 number of desktops . . grayed out [21:12] stupid: Try using the alternative disc and use "Boot from first hard drive." [21:12] ronhalfdanr: i think yours is not simple :P [21:13] no stormblue, every time i try to get help troubleshooting something I run into some smarta** geek with the Comicbook Guy superiority complex [21:13] whyameye u're trying to get into a broken ntfs system with livecd? [21:13] ronhalfdanr: What's your issue? [21:13] kinja-sheep: OK thanks - then what? re-install? [21:13] ronhalfdanr: You sound like an experienced linux troll. [21:13] is there any way to reinstall ubuntu so that it is completely clean as if it was installed from a cd with format and all? Without using a cd and without formatting that is. [21:13] dayo_: yep. I wanted to use ddrescue on it. I have a fresh disk attached as well. [21:13] I want to change from sharing a folder to a drive in samba so my VM can access a datat drive instead of dragging file to and from a folder all the time [21:13] stupid: See if that worked. If that does.. then you chmod the same directory using the correct permissions. [21:14] How can I convert a .mov to a .avi? [21:14] hi, how can I merge two or more video files? [21:14] dayo_: actually I think this drive might be fat32 but whatever. [21:14] NoEvidenZ: nope, just someone who's tired of the geeks looking down their noses at newbies who really are trying to learn [21:14] matt___, kane_, did either of you google first? [21:14] in compiz number of desktops is set to one . . and my "cube" is rather more a 2d flip thing [21:14] plz help [21:14] how can I install the sys/socket.h file library in my system [21:14] NoEvidenZ: I googled googled googled. Then ubuntu forumed. [21:14] NoEvidenZ, I admit I didn't :( [21:14] stupid: just sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/ you should be ok [21:14] can anyone please help me. i tried to install 2 packages that were broken or i couldnt managed to get , anyways i purged them but now everytime i restart the pc i get a crashed application error saying that those 2 packages couldnt be downloaded. i tried apt-get clean but that didnt help. can anyone tell me how to clear this errors [21:14] chrisj: I can't gurantee you that it will work, but resize from gparted should work (but you will loose the ability to use built-in partition) [21:14] ronhalfdanr: so you meant now im a geek ? [21:14] Hi all, is the forums down? [21:14] pls tell me name of that library [21:15] Dre4m: you need 4 workspaces [21:15] how can I install the sys/socket.h file library in my system [21:15] ye how do I get t4? [21:15] where do I set that> [21:15] ? [21:15] tell me name of library [21:15] Dre4m: in the settings for compiz, under general, you can change the number of desktops. [21:15] ronhalfdanr: There's tutorials out there for that. Do a google search, I know I've read at least one before. [21:15] someone knows any program Dreamweaver like? [21:15] stupid: i'm not sure. [21:15] Dre4m gnome desktop? [21:15] stupid /usr/share is usually 755 and 644, i think [21:15] !enter | Dre4m [21:15] Dre4m: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:15] arcad3: try bluefish [21:15] arcad3: nano [21:15] mani_: install build-essential package, might work. [21:16] NoEvidenZ: I've successfully done so, but the audio is jacked up. I read something about a bug somewhere's, wondering if anyone on here has successfully done so. === Aviendha20081 is now known as aviqc1 [21:16] already did that stormblue and it hasn't helped [21:16] I KNOW, its set to 1 . . and it wont let me change it [21:16] stuck on 1 [21:16] thanks [21:16] Dre4m, are you trying to install Linux on the GameCube? [21:16] Hi all, is the Ubuntu forums down? [21:16] Dre4m: compiz manager, general -> Desktop Size -> Horizontal Virtual Size [21:16] yup, forums are down [21:16] Trying to create a script which secretly sends network topology information to myself in case my laptop is stolen. What I want to know is is there a way to set a maximum number of attempts for traceroute? [21:16] I'm at the forums [21:17] hello everyone im new to the whole linux thing i have ubuntu 8.10 and my system wont reconize my moniter its a 32 hdlcd [21:17] ronhalfdanr: Not everything can be helped. Sometimes somebody came in here... without checking the forums, without checking the manual or documentation. And wanted to know how to do . Did you ever read http://help.ubuntu.com when you first installed Ubuntu? I'm not attacking on you but it's just how things are in life. [21:17] whyameye sounds bad [21:17] arcad3: tehre's a program called nVU too. [21:17] is there any way to flush all packages and configs and then install ubuntu-desktop without actully formatting and all? [21:17] mroc: got you . . . . but under that it says number of desktops . . . [21:17] now I'm in Absolute Beginner [21:17] dayo_: How would I do that please? could you give the commands to use please? [21:17] MaximLevitsky: hm that's weird - vista's partitioner does show me an 11gb of unpartioned space at the beginning of the drive [21:17] Currently, if there is a heavily firewalled system, it will simply sit there retrying over and over to identify a router. [21:17] its set to 1 and i cant change it ... [21:17] Then you need to have a more specific question. [21:17] MaximLevitsky: comment is "EISA configuration" [21:17] stupid: just sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/ [21:17] how would I create a launch icon in my apps -> system tools for gksudo gparted? [21:17] stormblue: I had a share working but it was inefficient, I've since gone to larger drives so all my data is on one drive and I just want to change the path but follwoing the tutorial doesn't work [21:17] nvu is not maintained anymore [21:17] whyameye i thought it was a dual boot or something. which is why i suggested rescue mode [21:17] chrisj: this is the hidden partition [21:17] dayo_: -). I just stuck the drive in an external USB enclosure. I'll attach after boot. Wish me luck. :-) [21:17] How can I convert a .mov to a .avi? [21:18] Dre4m: yes...i believe that setting will control the number of separate "cubes." I could be mistaken about that though. [21:18] kinja-sheep: yes I checked to forum [21:18] whyameye good luck! [21:18] stupid: See what gutron said. sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/ [21:18] hello all [21:18] Ron, have you tried using a USB drive. That worked pretty slick for me in VMWare. [21:18] I think my system is hacked [21:18] MaximLevitsky: and that actually contains what? i thought erecovery only needed that 3.8gb partition at the end [21:18] gnutron** [21:18] matt___: I use mencoder or ffmpeg for that sort of thing, but there might be a friendlier way. vlc might do it too with its transcode wizard. [21:18] Dre4m: but horizontal virutal size will change it from a cube to a hexagon to whatever...however many sides you'd like. [21:18] stupid: what kinja-sheep said [21:18] but chrootkit, rkhunter and clamav don't recognize it [21:18] Thanks all trying now [21:19] The other issue is that you need to ask a mroe specific question...like..."How can I fix error X when i tried to do Y a, b, and c happens. I've tried D and here are my logs from K" [21:19] stormblue: that doesn't really work well for me, USB drive that is [21:19] stupid: Use alternative disc (not LiveCD). [21:19] Trying to create a script which secretly sends network topology information to myself in case my laptop is stolen. What I want to know is is there a way to set a maximum number of attempts for traceroute? [21:19] matt___:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369822 [21:19] Oh, okay. [21:19] matt___: Try mencoder or avidemux [21:19] stupid: how did u change to 666. I hope it wasn't 'sudo chmod -R 666 /usr/share' ? o_0 [21:19] dayo_: Sounds like it. [21:19] dayo_: no -R [21:19] chrisj: the 10 GB at start of disk is the erecovery partition [21:20] can anyone please help me. i tried to install 2 packages that were broken or i couldnt managed to get , anyways i purged them but now everytime i restart the pc i get a crashed application error saying that those 2 packages couldnt be downloaded. i tried apt-get clean but that didnt help. can anyone tell me how to clear this errors [21:20] kane_: same to you, try googling avidemux to append videos [21:20] I have a cronjob for the user www-data and some files from the www-data user in the folder /var/tmp/.ICE-unix/.../.tmp/data [21:20] sudo chmod 666 /usr/share [21:20] MaximLevitsky: hm vista's partitioner just got me an "access denied" [21:20] MaximLevitsky: whatever I'll just use gparted [21:20] stupid: thank GOD! [21:20] is there any way to reinstall ubuntu so that it is completely clean as if it was installed from a cd with format and all? Without using a cd and without formatting that is. [21:20] NoEvidenZ, I found that mencoder can do that [21:20] anyone who has got experience with recognizing virusses installed through apache [21:21] stupid: then it's ok. just sudo chmod 755 /usr/share [21:21] anyone familiar with using a svn ? [21:21] dayo_: SYSTEM BACK :) thanks all [21:21] Is the US NTSC or PAL? [21:21] NTSC [21:21] snake_: open synaptic and run fix broken packages [21:21] matt___: US is NTSC [21:21] I wont do that agin.... [21:21] stupid: -R would have affected *everything* under /usr/share [21:21] stupid: u're welcome :-) [21:21] bye all thanks for help [21:21] can some help me with my monitor problem [21:21] matt___: what do you mean the sound is jacked up?? [21:21] will packages installed via apt-get show up in synaptic? [21:21] i need to create a svn and i'm not sure i'm putting it in the right spot [21:21] N6REJ: what do you want to know about svn [21:21] gnutron: i purged them. but i am getting this again and again [21:21] every time i restart [21:21] lasivian: yes [21:21] anyone here using emacs-snapshot? My anti-aliased fonts seem to have gone away with my upgrade from hardy to intrepid. [21:22] gnutron: tanks [21:22] lasivian yes [21:22] Why would nvidia drivers not be showing up in my Restricted Modules window? [21:22] stormblue: I actually have half a clue what to do and hit a trouble spot used to be path = /home/ron/rondata in smb.conf want the path to point to /media/DRV7_VOL1 [21:22] how to find out that that some other software is being updated in background ? [21:22] lvanderree: i'm going to be dev'n for joomla so I want to be able to svn my files from my desktop IDE to my *nix box so that i can easily test them on apache [21:22] can any of the package lists be sorted by "when it was installed"? [21:22] lasivian the way i see it, synaptic is basically a gui apt-get [21:22] NoEvidenZ: I used handbrake...the sound was "fast" so to say...like the video encoding worked...but something caused the sound encoding not to work. [21:22] ronhalfdanr: can you send me your smb.conf in pm ? [21:22] lvanderree: if I'm making sense.... I guess i could just use the mapped drive, but i'm not sure... I'm too new to development to know [21:23] snake_: if synaptic shows no broken packages you should be ok, unless you installed something manually in which case you un-install manually. [21:23] kdenlive works. Thanks fellors. [21:23] lvanderree: i'll have 3 or 4 projects [21:23] matt___: as in it was out of sync, or as in chipmunks? [21:23] N6REJ: go for svn, it will make you happy ;) === kane_ is now known as AlanTuring [21:23] MaximLevitsky: so how do I copy the boot sector? [21:23] NoEvidenZ: I used handbrake...the sound was "fast" so to say...like the video encoding worked...but something caused the sound encoding not to work. [21:23] N6REJ: not only to deploy at other servers, but also to have version control [21:23] NoEvidenZ: well...chipmunks. [21:23] my firefox has an error and does not display back button bookmarks ..etc .. [21:23] N6REJ: and maybe to work together with others (in the future) [21:23] NoEvidenZ did u reboot after enabling them? [21:23] lvanderree: thats what i thought, so I have to have subversion on the server and then create file structure that apache needs? [21:23] can someone help me with a monitor problem [21:24] ronhalfdanr: can you CD to that dirtectory /media/DRV... ? [21:24] matt___: was it all at the right time, but high pitch? [21:24] chrisj: you use dd [21:24] yeah, thats where we are heading [21:24] http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d [21:24] Make sure it's mounted. [21:24] lvanderree: we're just learnign to use svn [21:24] dayo_: Can't enable them, they're not in the list. [21:24] MaximLevitsky: it's the first 512 bytes, right? [21:24] NoEvidenZ: Couldn't quite tell... [21:24] chrisj: yes [21:24] gnutron: no the packages were installed at first , removed and purged after only with apt-get [21:24] NoEvidenZ oh [21:24] NoEvidenZ: Couldn't understand anything anyone was saying. [21:24] lvanderree: so where should the svn path be? In apache where the files will eventually wind up? [21:24] this will include the partion table as well [21:24] says no such directory [21:24] ah nice [21:24] does /home need to go before media maybe? [21:25] N6REJ: I advise to install subversion in combination with apache, there are some howtos on the ubuntuforums and I think wiki as well on how to setup svn with apache [21:25] can someone help me? http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d [21:25] matt___: Oh, I see. Try checking if AutoGK has a linux release. That's what I use whenever I re-encode anything [21:25] snake_: what errors are you gettings? [21:25] lvanderree: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ [21:25] ronhalfdanr: your /media/VRH...isn't mounted. [21:25] gnutron: sorry the package : "sun-java6-doc 6-10-0ubuntu2" failed to install or upgrade [21:26] N6REJ: they are wherever you define in your virtual-host file [21:26] You need to mount it using something like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/VRH.... [21:26] lvanderree: here's how joomla works, you have files all over the place, and we have to create our project and then when done, wrap it into an installer. What I want to do is be able to use eclipse to develop them and test them on my lan server [21:26] snake_: i wouldn't worry about it. [21:26] lvanderree: ok, so they belong in an apache folder then... i'm thinking [21:26] NoEvidenZ: Thanks..but kdenlive seems to be workign perfectly for me. [21:26] N6REJ: I use symfony and eclipse with subclipse and my own subversion + apache server [21:26] N6REJ: no apache folders don't exist ;) [21:26] lvanderree: symfony? [21:27] gnutron: i am not worried but i just wanted a way to get read of it. i tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean but that didnt help me [21:27] hello all, I would like a little script to run early in the shutdown process. I already have it in /etc/init.d/ [21:27] N6REJ: a php framework, but more flexible than yoomla, but also lots of structured php-files [21:27] lvanderree: ok wait, lets take a step back.... right now i've got eclipse setup so that i have my workspace in /home/troy/public_html/jdev and xdebug is run off the lan server. [21:27] no one knows? http://pastebin.com/m5020d61d [21:28] ok, my netbook has a really small (top to bottom) screen and lots of windows are too big and I can;t get to the buttons at the bottom, and I can;t move them beyond teh top edge of the screen, ideas? [21:28] lvanderree: apache lives at /home/troy/public_html [21:28] N6REJ: add subclipse to your eclipse plugins [21:28] kk === lhogie is now known as lucci [21:28] MaximLevitsky: eh, the man page for dd is quite extensive - could you possible do it out of the top of your head? (thanks for everything again, btw) [21:28] lvanderree: but what do I tell /svnpath to be? [21:28] it makes it easy to commit your code to your svn-server [21:28] can someone PLEASE help me with my monior problem [21:28] chrisj: I will, but this command is very DANGEROUS [21:29] Hello I m in a very huge trouble I cant boot windows xp It says invalid partition table. I had a crash of Ubuntu installtion upon 1st attempt. But installed sucessfully upon 2nd. But now I cant boot atall [21:29] MaximLevitsky: I know - but if it does what it's supposed to it's just gonna read data from the partition - not write [21:29] snake_: do you get the error running apt-get or synaptic still? [21:29] MaximLevitsky: s,partion,hdd, [21:29] Ankit_22: how old is the hard drive? [21:29] 2 yrs [21:30] gnutron: thats the strange thing. no i dont get any error. i even tried dpkg --configure -a and is ok. it ends without any output [21:30] MaximLevitsky: is that it? dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 [21:30] chrisj: you're trying to copy the boot sector to a file for backup? [21:30] power hiccup [21:30] chrisj: so dd if=/dev/sda of=bootsector bs=1 [21:30] Ankit_22: your hard drive may be throwing errors due to age... [21:31] Where actully is partition table is located I might try to modify it [21:31] !bridge [21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [21:31] snake_: no errors = no problem, its just a documentation file probably sun java install glitch. [21:31] !network-bridge [21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about network-bridge [21:31] damn [21:31] MaximLevitsky: shouldn't it be bs=512 (it says bytes in the man page) [21:31] !brctl [21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about brctl [21:31] I can neither use windows nor ubuntu thats total blockdown [21:31] is it possible to sync two folders across a wired network (between two Windows & Ubuntu machines)? [21:31] any good link on creating a permanent network bridge in ubuntu? [21:32] att0 u would need samba for that [21:32] chrisj: if I remember correctly boot secrtor is 512 bytes long [21:32] N6REJ: you can set svnpath to anything you want [21:32] att0 i remember reading about it in the BackupPC manual [21:32] N6REJ: for example to /home/N6REJ/svn/your-project [21:32] http://www.detector-pro.com/2009/01/linux-tip-backup-your-bootsector.html [21:32] MaximLevitsky: so should it be bs=512 or bs=1 (is 512 default blocksize??) [21:33] dayo_:thank you...is there any way to automate it, though? or will I have to manually drag & drop files? [21:33] that shows bs=512 [21:33] gnutron: thank you. i was not worried about something missing because i dont need the java doc but i am worried about how to get rid of the crash error popup that i get everytime i start the pc [21:33] chrisj: yes 512 is the deafult size [21:33] att0 u could run a cron? [21:33] lvanderree: but if I want it to put the files svn'd to the proper place i apache then it must at the very least live in the apache folder root right? [21:33] whois krill [21:33] lvanderree: or am I thinking about this wrong? [21:33] Ubuntu has been freezing a lot recently. Can anyone help? I can't even REISUB much less restart X [21:33] please help me with resolution/monitor problem [21:33] dayo_:ok, I am looking into samba [21:33] snake_: how did you install java? therein lies the problem, you could re-try installing [21:34] and I assume you switch it around to restore, which is why it's dangerous [21:34] Hey guys, I tried to install amarok, but it asked me for amarok xine or amarok engine, so I downloaded amarok xine and tried to install but it said "dependacy not satisfiable: amarok" what did I do wrong? [21:34] gnutron: i installed java from terminal [21:35] ok, stormblue let's go back to drives and mounting [21:35] lvanderree: i want my workflow to be somethign like this... create a project, save it to the server, test it, work on it some more, buid it. install on live sandbox as final test., next edit will be checkout edit, save to server repeat [21:35] juggalo sudo aptitude install amarok-xine [21:35] lvanderree: or do i have it all wrong? [21:35] I don't have internet I'm downloading the files from a friends pc [21:36] juggalo or sudo aptitude amarok-engines [21:36] N6REJ: do you want to commit your work to svn and do you expect to see the changes immediately on your website? [21:36] chrisj: if I remember correctly bs is the size of single sector [21:36] snake_: try changing your apt mirror and re-install it, or just re-install using aptitudeor synaptic [21:36] juggalo oh i see.well then u'll have to dl *all* the dependencies. can be a pain in the ass [21:36] lvanderree: i want to see the changes promptly [21:36] N6REJ: that is not the case I can tell you ;) [21:36] toki_: what exactly is the problem? [21:36] N6REJ: you want to do a (local) checkout on the server as well in the web-folder [21:36] lvanderree: oh, well advise me please this is my first tiem doing dev... I'm a 1970's basic programmer [21:37] MaximLevitsky: the following worked for me: dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 [21:37] How will I go about finding the right ones dayo? [21:37] lvanderree: i think so [21:37] how do you disable compiz from the command line? [21:37] * N6REJ is getting confused again :( [21:37] gnutron: ok thanks [21:37] N6REJ: so you commit from your desktop to the svn-server, and on your webserver do a checkout from the svn-server (the svn-server and the web-server) can very well be the same machine === bascht_ is now known as bascht [21:38] lasivian: ok my system will not reconize my monitor there for my resolution is super low 640*480 [21:38] lvanderree: ok and the svn lives at the same place the webserver does? === Krill is now known as Whismeril [21:38] N6REJ: but point is that the repository folder cannot be the web-folder, you have to do a checkout [21:38] lvanderree: OH!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:38] ok [21:38] ty === juggalo is now known as Rainmaker [21:39] N6REJ: no problem: so in short, the repository location is a different one, from the web-folder [21:39] toki_: what do you mean, how far does it get? did it work before or is this a new install? [21:39] lvanderree: gotcha [21:39] have fun [21:39] lasivian: the drivers seem to be working properly (green light in driver manager) but i think its because my moonitor is my 32" hdlcd [21:39] MaximLevitsky: started gparted partitioning ... alone the first read's gonna take 49 minutes ... [21:39] greetings all [21:39] N6REJ: [21:39] lasivian: new install complete noob to linux [21:39] chrisj: yep, gparted is da*** slow [21:40] any good link on creating a permanent network bridge in ubuntu? [21:40] KenBW2, I would think you would apt-get remove ccsm (using the right name) or shutting down gdm and metacity --replace [21:40] how do i make a permanent bridge? [21:40] Ubuntu has been freezing a lot recently. Can anyone help? I can't even REISUB much less restart X [21:40] lvanderree: thanks for your help [21:40] N6REJ: the advantage of running subversion under apache is, that you get htaccess authentication for free ;) and you can see your commits with the help of the apache-svn website [21:40] !seen meganox [21:40] I have no seen command [21:40] AH [21:41] kk [21:41] oh [21:41] N6REJ: + you don't have to open extra ports [21:41] cool :D [21:41] do you guys have problem with the flash player 10? 'cos when i watch video and open another page in another tab, the video stops untill the site loads [21:41] toki_: so you have a picture but it's the wrong resolution? [21:41] yeah [21:41] toki_: I don;t understand exactly what is wrong [21:41] toki_: What happens when you try to change the resolution? [21:41] the resolution is maxed out at 640*480 [21:41] dimitar: i guess that's just the flashplayer consuming all the cpu and when firefox gets its turn flashplayer doesnt get enough [21:42] what is the approved method of asking for assistance here? [21:42] !ask [21:42] chrisj so there is some solution? [21:42] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:42] when i boot into ubuntu's gui (live and after install) i have a horrific frame rate. its like the computer only respons for a split second every 3 or 4 seconds. i've tried the vga=771 to no avail. [21:42] lasivian: with it not reconizing my lcd it wont let me go above 640 [21:42] juggalo http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=amarok&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all [21:42] dimitar: none that i know of - and that was just a guess [21:42] ty [21:42] anyway [21:42] juggalo that's assuming u're on ibex [21:43] have the same problem in knoppx, but booting with fb1024x786 fixes it. [21:44] I'm on hardy [21:44] !ot [21:44] toki_: i'm guessing "detect displays" does nothing [21:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:44] lasivian: right [21:44] Can I just take out inteprid nd put hardy? [21:44] no worry it for ME :) [21:44] lol. ok. How do I get Ibex to see my WinXP network shares? Places --> network sees the windows network and it's workgroup name, and I can ping the XP box (by IP as well as name), but the box is not listed under the network in Places --> network... ??? [21:45] i thought ubuntu has the framebuffer enabled by default. so is it a dma problem or something? [21:45] Rainmaker = juggalo? [21:45] toki_: no idea, i'm a newbie too, i'd probably try another monitor or see if there is another video driver [21:45] yeah [21:45] hola [21:45] Rainmaker http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&searchon=names&keywords=amarok === fernando is now known as Guest3393 [21:45] lasivian: well thanx anyway [21:46] why should a freshly installed PC freeze up after logging in? [21:46] !samba > ian__ [21:46] ian__, please see my private message [21:46] KenBW2, closed source video drivers installed perhaps? [21:47] KenBW2, ctrl-alt-F2 Does that get you a terminal screen [21:47] is there some lightweighted sustem monitor with abbility to kill processes because this one integreted in ubuntu takes too much resoures and it pain to kill some process wich became unstable and hungry for cpu :) and takes 100% so sys monitor is inpossable to be even run properly [21:47] Jack_Sparrow: yep [21:47] KenBW2, Can you get to a terminal with that? [21:47] Jack_Sparrow: only before logging in though, and immediately after [21:47] Jack_Sparrow: yea [21:47] KenBW2, what video card [21:47] Hello how do I modify patition table ? [21:48] Ankit_22, a table or a partition [21:48] Partition table [21:48] yes, thank you. i have tried samba, samba client, and smbfs with no success. i have no need for the XP box to access Ubuntu, but rather the reverse [21:48] Jack_Sparrow: erm, dont know, it's for a friend [21:48] Jack_Sparrow: how do i find out [21:48] What is the difference between the server and desktop versions of Ubuntu? Is it just the desktop environment, or it the server version optimized for server use in other ways? [21:48] hola [21:49] Ankit_22, If you know what you are doing you can dd an image, edit the image and dd it back.. but that is beyond what I will go into in here [21:49] hey i have an issue i can play video in firefox but there is no sound?? i can find a fix on google [21:49] KenBW2, laptop or desktop [21:49] is there some lightweighted system monitor with abbility to kill processes because this one integreted in ubuntu takes too much resources and it is pain to kill some process which became unstable and hungry for cpu :) and takes 100% so sys monitor is inpossable to be even run properly [21:49] Jack_Sparrow: desktop [21:49] I kinda have a back up of it [21:49] CoJaBo-Dell: I think the server a differently configured kernel.. PAE enabled and such.. oh.. and server doesn't have gnome/KDe installed [21:49] users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 this is [21:49] dare: cronky? [21:50] stormblue, cant kill [21:50] KenBW2, try lspci | grep -i vga [21:50] conky is a pain to get setup tho [21:50] Oh, yeah, I wondered about that. [21:51] dare what are u using? [21:51] Is it possible to install the desktop environment (preferably something lightweight, just enough to allow access to a webbrowser and basic games) on the server edition, or is it better to start with the desktop edition and install server packages? [21:51] dayo__, system monitor which comes with ubuntu [21:52] CoJaBo-Dell, either will work.. just add lamp to desktop [21:52] !lamp [21:52] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:52] dare open your terminal and type 'top' [21:52] dare without the '' [21:52] ian__: nfs is the alternative. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [21:52] dare, the left-most column gives u the ProcessID [21:52] CoJaBo-Dell: you can do that with the server edition - aside from the different kernel there's barely any difference ... if you want a full desktop environment that is lightweight you might want to try xfce - start looking at the xubuntu-desktop package and install that - if you feel like you don't need some particular program you can skip it [21:53] hi! I have a problem, i installed ubuntu with wubi. and this morning ubuntu didnt shutdown properly, it hanged at the last part of shutdown process, so i had to pull the plug. [21:53] dare u use that to kill the process. e.g kill -9 [21:53] !wubi > deltah [21:53] deltah, please see my private message [21:53] since then i cant boot neither ubuntun *no wubildr nor windows [21:53] ok just tell me what kinda patition table is this I ll modify it users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [21:54] got a problem when im updating pkg was interrupted you must manually run dpkg configure to correct the problem ??? what to do ??? [21:54] dare 'man kill' gives u more info on the options and whatnot [21:54] Ubuntu has been freezing a lot recently. Can anyone help? I can't even REISUB much less restart X [21:54] flink12 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [21:54] How can i format my curent Partition to NTFS? [21:54] dayo__, yeah Im killing process on similar way :) just sudo killall firefox or opera which are mostly troublemakers but just wondered is there some lightweighted sys monitor [21:54] so nobody can tell me how do get my system running again [21:54] Is there any program available to put music or photos on and off of my itouch?? [21:54] even from live cd i cannot mount my hdd [21:54] dare i tend to stick to the command-line, myself [21:54] anyone no sound with firefox?? [21:54] deltah, Please read the wubi faq page. I personally wont use it recommend it or obviously provide support for it.. But you are free to ask for help, just make sure they know you used wubi as it does make a difference [21:55] deltah what's up? [21:55] ian__: Supose your XP-machine = 10.0.0.50 In Ubuntu ppen webbrowser en type in adressbar: smb://10.0.0.100 Check if that display the shares [21:55] chrisj, etc.: Thanks. The system will be primarily used as a server, so I guess I'll start with the server edition and install the desktop packages. Are XFCE/gnome/KDE the only officially supported, or are there others? [21:56] dayo__, Im relatively new one and gui and user frendly is prefered than terminal :) [21:56] dayo_ i think, ubuntu has screwed my ntfs file system at shutdown, as it did not shutdown properly. I had to pull the plug and now windows cant start anymore [21:56] if i wanted to set up a network between 2 computers using a cat 5 crossover cable and since im using my phone as a usb modem i want to share internet between both computers is this a possible thing? [21:56] nux [21:56] Kidfork: ntfs is *NOT* for linux! [21:56] deltah: what happens when you try to start Windows? [21:57] dayo_ nor does ubuntu start as it had no own partition. from gnewsense live cd i can~t mount hdd, but it~s shown [21:57] ian__: Sorry, smb://10.0.0.50 if XP = 10.0.0.50 ( just the same ) [21:57] dare well don't let the terminal intimidate u. it's very powerful [21:57] what does this mean audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [21:57] guntbert: Yes i no im planning to be beta testing for Windows 7 [21:57] dare and very useful [21:57] if i wanted to set up a network between 2 computers using a cat 5 crossover cable and since im using my phone as a usb modem i want to share internet between both computers is this a possible thing? [21:57] dayo__, :) [21:57] how can i regonfigure all sound on ubuntu? [21:57] Is there any program available to put music or photos on and off of my itouch?? [21:57] my ubuntu doesnt play sound anymore, only noise... [21:58] Kidfork: this is the support channel for ubuntu [21:58] deltah: can you mount the ubuntu partition from the livecd? [21:58] Hi, how do I apply a patch/update a specific package using apt-get ? [21:58] if i wanted to set up a network between 2 computers using a cat 5 crossover cable and since im using my phone as a usb modem i want to share internet between both computers is this a possible thing? [21:58] detox420: Should be. With most newer systems they will even autodetect the type of cable so it would probably work even if you use one that isn't crossover... === system_128 is now known as System_128 [21:58] whyameye there comes a screen where i hav to select "start windows normally" which triesc to start it and there comes the logo and then it reboots, or "start helper " or so, where chkdisk runs and finishes after half an hour and restart renders no different result than before [21:59] one more question when im on the internet an looking @ vid stream like youtube its laggy as hell ? whats the problem ! ? [21:59] detox420, Please hold down the repeats.. every couple minutes is more than enough [21:59] cojabo - ive already just tried plug and play [21:59] detox420: sure, setup a static ip connection between the two and you're good to go [21:59] flink12, which browser you use? [21:59] ok [21:59] flink12 depends on your bandwidth [21:59] ty [22:00] Anyone familiar with VMWare Player? [22:00] why my ubuntu doens play sound more? [22:00] whyameye from gnewsesense live cd i see the hdd as an icon, but double click renders error message "cant mount" [22:00] i only get nosie from speaker [22:00] pentaside: #vmware may be more assistance but what is your question? [22:00] dare im using mozzila and got 8mbit [22:00] I see there is a patch for dnsmasq package for hardy. How do I apply this ? [22:00] deltah: if you mounted...then what? Do you have a drive to copy the contents on to? It sounds like you don't think it's a hardware problem. [22:00] whyameze i am new to linux, therefore i needed dual boot adn all my files are on that hdd. [22:01] how do i find out the address i need for a specific computer across the internet? [22:01] flink12, adobe flash player works very bad with opera, but with mozzila firefox its better but far away from good, I have same problems, [22:01] dare im runing all standard stuff on ubuntu [22:01] * System_128 is a new user [22:02] salamo alaykom [22:02] any sound experts here? headphone port on laptop isn't working since about october (intrepid upgrade). Crimsun (?) said then it's probably a regression and it would be addressed, but nothing. file a new bug? [22:02] alaykom salam :) [22:02] dare and then i got problems playing avi wmv m.m in my vid player think i dont have codec ?? [22:02] whyameye the computer is less than half a year old. it occurred after a failed shutdown of ubuntu and pulling the plug. no i have no external hdd here. am not at home for some time. double click on icon "310GB hdd" sazs cannot mount [22:02] KenBW2: You want to connect to a specified computer somewhere on the internet or what? [22:02] alathary waleikum salaam [22:02] what's this chat room ? [22:02] How could I convert uncompressed AVIs to flash ? [22:02] CyberGabber: i'm wanting to ssh to a friend's PC [22:03] I can't find documentation on how to patch packages ? [22:03] someone could help me to troubleshoting my sound problem ? [22:03] !ask [22:03] hello wie is the german channel link [22:03] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:03] flink12, install them via addremove or synaptic [22:03] hatter243, ahh fuck you i've asked three times [22:03] !de > crack88 [22:03] crack88, please see my private message [22:03] whyameye> i tried slax live cd. from there i can access all files but not write to hdd, it says read/only file system. windows reparation thing doesn~t show that hdd at all [22:03] crack88, #ubuntu-de [22:03] dare ok tanx [22:03] flink12 ;) [22:03] deltah: you might be able to force-mount it but I'm not sure the point. I wouldn't rule out hardware failure. Drives can fail, even new drives. Had ubuntu shut down properly before? [22:04] CyberGabber: so yea [22:04] deltah: there's a S.M.A.R.T utility that will run in Linux. I don't know anything about it but my guess is that will at least tell you if this is a hardware failure or not. You might look for it. [22:04] How do I apply something which is in http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/ ? [22:04] anyone successfully got the m-audio delta 1010LT working? I've got the drivers installed and in the sound preferences i can see all the various outputs/inputs/midi/etc but no sound (got generic sound card using alsa works fine - just curious if anyone had this card and got it working) [22:04] is there any way to move a window up beyond the top of the screen? [22:04] whyameye many times it has shutdown correctly but sometimes not, it hanged at las two millimeters of the bar [22:04] KenBW2: If your friend has a webbrowser, he can go to http://whatsmyip.org/ , that site tells his IP-adres (outside adres, what known on internet ). [22:04] I have a small display and some windows are too big to get to all the options on [22:05] aoliveira: no guarantee i can help. what have you tried so far to address the problem? [22:05] Some_ux 1) sudo apt-get update [22:05] lasivian, try to find it in cssm [22:05] CyberGabber: yea but how do i get to the specific PC [22:05] whyameye ok, thanks for the hint. [22:05] Some_ux, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Provided you're running hardy [22:05] Some_ux 2) sudo apt-get upgrade [22:05] mroc, i'm totally loss here [22:05] Some_ux 3) sudo apt-get install [22:05] mroc, when ive installed ubuntu everything works wireless sound etc.. [22:05] KenBW2: ssh yourfriendIPadres [22:05] whyameye but as i said, slax can read the hdd, not write, gnewsense can neither read nor write. if hdd was broken, then i think nobody could read it, or am i mistaken_ [22:05] ? [22:06] KenBW2, you have to get your friend to tell you his public IP address [22:06] mroc, now my sound only make noise when i try play a mp3 or any sound [22:06] Jeruvy: Sorry, I was distracted, I think I just found my answer in this Forums post... I'll get back with you in a second. [22:06] aoliveira: ok. double click on the volume icon to bring up the preferences. [22:06] CyberGabber: yourfriend being the external IP and IPadres being the one in ifconfig? [22:06] does anyone knows how to disable icons by text dialogs yes no etc.. ? in ubuntu 8,10 dark theme [22:06] sudo apt-get install dnsmasq , should install the latest version then ? [22:06] deltah: yeah you don't know if slax can read every single sector. It could be 1 sector is bad, and that happens to be needed by Windows boot. [22:06] deltah: quick Google search --- maybe this will help? http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/check-your-hard-drive-smart-status.html [22:06] Some_ux, yes, if it's not installed already [22:07] KenBW2: Of cource you friends router/PC have to accept SSH incoming traffice, en route in to his PC [22:07] mroc, hmm? [22:07] CyberGabber: yea im hoping it does [22:07] whyameye> thanksfor the link [22:07] lasivian: Based on that question I suspect you're using compiz? You can change a setting to allow this either in gconf-editor or ccsm. The setting is under the "Move" plugin and is called "Constrain Y" [22:07] aoliveira: in the standard install, the top right corner should have a volume icon. if you double click on it, it will bring up a window. on of the options on that window is a preferences button. click this button. [22:07] KenBW2: supose your friend has IP-adres 111.222.333.444, then you do : ssh 111.222.333.444 [22:07] How do i know that the version apt-get installed is indeed the latest version ? [22:08] ok, its....odd now. Its been quite a few days where the forums server are iffy up and down =/ [22:08] can someone tell me how do I modify patition table Where can I find it ? on what drive in which folder ? plz I need it [22:08] CyberGabber: doesnt that just take me to her router? [22:08] Some_ux: it probably isn't.. but it's the latest version that has been packaged and tested for your distribution [22:08] Ankit_22: try a program called gpart. [22:08] mroc, there is a tab PlayBack and Switches [22:08] Some_ux compare. Before upgrading do 'sudo apt-get show dnsmasq' [22:09] mroc, Master sound is at max [22:09] dayo__, Some_ux: apt-cache policy might give better info when it comes to versions [22:09] Ankit_22, stormblue : gparted, not gpart. Ankit_22: The partition table is not a file. [22:09] mroc, but the PCM at minimun [22:09] KenBW2: Normally yes. The settings in the router should be routing SSH-traffic to her PC. [22:09] Hello. [22:09] But does it deleted my files ? [22:09] CyberSix: how do i tell ssh which PC i want? [22:10] mroc, now it worked [22:10] KenBW2: only if that all has been setup right in that router / firewall etc. [22:10] Slart awesome. Thanks! [22:10] Have any Meebo users in here been able to start voice conversations while in Ubuntu? [22:10] Does that program Gpart delete my files upon partition cretion ? [22:10] how I do config SSH to use port 2222 instead of port 22? [22:10] CyberGabber: so it'd have to be open specifically for ssh? [22:10] Ankit_22, yes [22:11] Ankit_22: creating partitions won't delete files.. removing a partition with files in it will kill the files [22:11] I'm trying to install the last version of pidgin 2.4.3 but I can't dot. There is a error: [22:11] KenBW2, you have to setup IP forwarding in the router [22:11] You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build. [22:11] If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so [22:11] I can find them. [22:11] doglino: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:11] mrwes: edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file [22:11] Thanks a lot [22:11] Slart, In his case.. he is going to lose data.. If what we were talking about still stands [22:11] what i Do? [22:11] doglino: why not use the version from the repos? [22:11] hi guys is there a guide on how to setup evolotion mail client with my gmail account on 8.10 [22:11] I know that the dnsmasq package has an update available to solve a security issue. The question is, how do install this patch without using dpatch and recompiling the source ? [22:11] lrdapex, and use RemoteForward 2222:localhost:22 [22:12] !compile > doglino [22:12] weed37 yes in the settings tab of gmail ubder pop [22:12] doglino, please see my private message [22:12] ok/ [22:12] Some_ux aah i see what u mean. have u tried looking for a .deb of the update? [22:12] thanks m8 [22:12] does anybody have pulseaudio eating up 10% cpu, after being used for some time? [22:13] How about the filesystem ? I have patitions some of them are NTFS few FAT32 and 1 JFS according to ubuntu explorer but GPart does nolt show any partition but it rather shows whole of the Harddisk [22:13] mrwes: im unsure of the remoteforward, i've always just changed port to whatever [22:13] which makes it worse, is it is running in realtime priority [22:13] lrdapex, ok...yah I see that at the top [22:13] Ankit_22, get the livecd of gparted and look at your partitions with that [22:13] lrdapex, do I need to restart anything? [22:13] anybody here who has a working "apple wireless keyboard" ?? [22:13] !gparted [22:13] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [22:14] mrwes: you can put Port 22 2222, yes /etc/init.d/sshd restart [22:14] mrwes: rather /etc/init.d/ssh [22:14] carl-, You mihg look at this... Mac Hardware Running Ubuntu... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [22:14] Slart repos has not the last version. (sorry about english) [22:14] mrwes: man sshd_config for more info [22:14] lrdapex, ok thanks [22:14] carl-, YOu can also /join #Ubuntu-powerpc [22:14] dayo___ : all i can see is what is in http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/net/dnsmasq [22:15] mrwes: I believe SSH-port changing by : vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config after changing do: service sshd reload [22:15] doglino: the english is fine.. any particular reason you want the latest version? have they done something new with it? [22:15] Jack_Sparrow: thanks .. hmmm .. whough i want it to run on a pc with just that keybard connected [22:15] Some_ux u won't see the latest in there. only the stablest [22:15] Out of Date? !latest: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. [22:15] CyberGabber, gotcha [22:16] Hi... how can I disable the startup sound? The option in prefs->sound doesnt work :( [22:16] Some_ux there is no "just released" stuff in the packages [22:16] !info wpasupplicant [22:16] wpasupplicant (source: wpasupplicant): Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (intrepid), package size 302 kB, installed size 788 kB [22:16] where can i find the latest then ? [22:16] Some_ux in the repository, i mean [22:16] Some_ux try the dnsmasq site? [22:17] mrwes: But why change a SSH-port ? SSH should be safe [22:17] Some_ux,Not in our repos.. Please have a backup for use if and when you break your dependencies [22:17] I've selected the "disabled" option in the sound preferences, but it still plays. Considering reinstalling, since its causing some major issues (in lectures etc) [22:18] chazco, You need to double or right click where it says login sound [22:18] I don't think i need the latest, The one noted in the Updates page should probably be good enough [22:18] Jack_Sparrow - I found the sound and disabled it, but it still plays... [22:19] hi! [22:19] Slart yes there is novelty [22:19] hi [22:19] chazco, Where it says login left click where it says default and set it to non I believe.. just to try it [22:20] Googling I found this link: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb [22:20] Jack_Sparrow - Thats what ive done (tried re-enabling it also, just in case)... its ignoring the setting [22:21] Is this a reliable link ? [22:21] chazco, system..admin..login window... [22:21] Some_ux i should think so [22:21] chazco, system..admin..login window...accessibiltiy [22:21] Jack_Sparrow - Thats a different sound, its the longish Ubuntu theme music thats the issue [22:22] I mean is the security.ubunutu.com namespace an official ubuntu domain site ? [22:22] chazco, those are the only two places I know of [22:23] Some_ux yeah it a subdomain [22:23] Jack_Sparrow - Ok... i know which setting i want (since it used to work), but its being ignored [22:24] ok, so How do i install it ? something wget and dpkg [22:24] ? [22:24] hello [22:24] Some_ux yes u would 'wget -c http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb [22:24] 'wget -c http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-base_2.41-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb [22:25] ?

Reinstalling seems like a really bad way to do it :( [22:26] Some_ux maybe someone in here can shed light on this? [22:26] exit [22:26] Luckly, none is installed atm [22:26] foker [22:26] What upstream version is linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic ?

[22:27] KenBW2 - The setting for the theme music in under Sounds, thats the one being ignored [22:27] Some_ux, sudo apt-get install dnsmasq-base [22:28] Jack_Sparrow u can use apt-get on a .deb? [22:28] Is there any easy way to dismount my /usr partition and move it do another hardrive? [22:28] Jack_Sparrow. Nevermind. Of course u can. [22:28] chazco: its what i would do. first sudo updatedb then do locate $filename |grep .wav [22:28] dayo__, that pulls it from our repos, which is the recommended way of installing that [22:28] Hey all. Could use some help installing nvidia drivers for Geforce 8400 GS. I've download 180.22 from the nvidia website, run it, and it tells me that I'm running an X server and to quit it. Can someone walk me through it? [22:28] SchmittyDoesIt: I think you can just copy the content across and then set it to mount in fstab [22:28] chazco: where $filename = what you think the file is called [22:29] Edit: downloaded [22:29] Jack_Sparrow right. [22:29] a spanish channel? [22:29] portz: cntrl-alt-f1 [22:29] !es [22:29] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [22:29] baytes - Yep... may trying changing it a silent file... thanks for the help :) [22:29] oholiab I will try this [22:29] portz: then login: sudo su - (become root) [22:29] Jack_Sparrow and i should know, seeing as how i posted the link. I shouldn't be allowed near heavy machinery, right now [22:29] chazco: np [22:29] oks [22:29] oholiab what do i put in fstab [22:29] portz: as root: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [22:30] can you configure openssh (on Linux) to only allow ssh tunnels not ssh logins etc.? [22:30] Antharian, Not the best choice for setting up root user [22:30] portz: then run the NVDIA install [22:30] hi, just wondering, if i install ubuntu server with LVM, it means that I can always add a second drive later on to the LVM, and then make my two drives appear as one big partition right??? [22:30] SchmittyDoesIt: give me a minute and I'll have a look :) [22:30] Antharian, Sudo SU: Instead of sudo su please suggest sudo -i as properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. [22:30] good nite, people [22:30] it's been informative [22:30] hydrozen: as one logical volume yes [22:30] hydrozen-> i believe thats the concept yes [22:30] Jack_Sparrow : the question is whether the apt-get install will get the package which belongs to the updated version or the one which is defined in the standard repository for Hardy [22:31] ikonia or n8tuser: any good tutorial out there on how to do that?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:35] how to run C socket programs [22:35] mani_: come on, your writing C programs but you don't know how to run them ? [22:35] * Antharian curses 8.10's networking [22:35] i know [22:35] To whoever was trying to help me: Did not work. [22:35] mani_: there are plenty of guides on the net [22:35] * System_128 am not really good with irc and i wanted to ask where can i get the commands [22:35] mani_ -> if it accesses ports below 1024 you need to be root, above it a regular user can [22:36] but it say sys/socket.h not found [22:36] mani_: we spoke about that [22:36] System_128, /join #Freenode [22:36] can u tell me package name [22:36] mani_: you need the libc development package [22:36] it not found === System_128 is now known as acidburn [22:36] libc6-dev [22:37] SchmittyDoesIt: I think http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1377770&postcount=4 should cover it for you actually [22:37] you didn't look [22:37] mani_: you didn't look did you [22:37] thankyou oholiab === patrol is now known as Patrol_ [22:37] but I think you just want to copy the contents across, then add /dev/whatever /usr ext3, defaults 1 2 to fstab === Patrol_ is now known as Patrol [22:37] <[TiZ]> Hi. GParted from the live CD reports from my NTFS data partition that there are at least 1024 bad sectors, and thus won't allow me to resize it. 1024 sounds like a huge number. Should I be worried about this? [22:38] assuming ext3 [22:38] yes i did [22:38] SchmittyDoesIt: you'll want to check for yourself though [22:38] [TiZ], Yes [22:38] mani_: it was the 3rd one in the list === Patrol is now known as Patrol__ [22:38] <[TiZ]> Vantrax: I should replace it asap, right? [22:38] whzameye i found out thaty it~s not a hardware problem. ubunto says that ntfs is marked as in use as it was not shutdon properly and it tells me to shutdown windows properly. only that i can~t enter windows anymore. ant the shutdown that was not doen properly was the shutdown of ubuntu [22:38] can i copy whole file to the /usr/* then it works [22:38] hey, how do i set a static ip for DNS resolution? [22:38] whyameye i found out thaty it~s not a hardware problem. ubunto says that ntfs is marked as in use as it was not shutdon properly and it tells me to shutdown windows properly. only that i can~t enter windows anymore. ant the shutdown that was not doen properly was the shutdown of ubuntu [22:38] mani_: no [22:39] mani_: learn how to use includes in C code [22:39] deltah, Please dont repeat like that [22:39] ozzloy: you need access to the dns servers [22:39] [TiZ], generally yes, they have an tendancy to increase once they start, but you can also try to isolate the bad sectors using tools in windows [22:39] I have a question about k9copy - I'm trying to rip a DVD into an XviD, but the resulting file is 0 bytes in size, anyone knows what may be wrong? [22:39] Jack_Sparrow sorry. it was just because of a mistyping [22:40] Patrol__ -> is that a windows apps? is it allowed to write to a dir? [22:40] deltah: you get that message from the last time it wasn't shutdown properly which actually was when you tried to boot windows. In any case, that doesn't tell you what the problem is. I could tell you how to force mount in ubuntu (I think the message already tells you) but then what? [22:40] <[TiZ]> Vantrax: Well, I just deleted Windows. I'm trying to get rid of the NTFS partition, moving stuff to my ext3 home. I've chkdsk'd twice using my Vista install CD. It doesn't really say anything useful, and GParted continues to deny me the right to resize. [22:41] whyameye> yes it tells me, but thats the question. would this action be of use for me? would it make the ntfs be used by ubuntu again, and then i can shut it down properly ? or will it make things worse? [22:41] [TiZ], id get another drive and copy the data off, gparted should allow a format, but resizing with bad sectors is a very bad idea [22:42] Vantrax, Agreed [22:42] whyami i think it refers to the last time i shutdown ubuntu for it didn~t finish properly [22:42] hiya, has the issue with ATI drivers and Intrepid been sorted yet? [22:42] <[TiZ]> Well, then, I need to find a place to get a laptop hard drive, and something to use to copy stuff to it. :| [22:42] deltah, Is that a wubi install that failed to shutdown [22:43] I do it apt-get build-dep pidgin [22:43] [TiZ], the drives are standard so it should be easy to get another [22:43] doglino, No it is in our repos [22:43] !info pidgin [22:43] pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X.

Version 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 546 kB, installed size 1952 kB [22:43] hum [22:43] doglino, sudo apt-get install pidgin [22:43] Jack-Sparrow yes. it has had that problem a few times, but not very often. I had to pull the plug [22:43] <[TiZ]> I just need to find somewhere to get them. And hope that my tuition refund arrives soon. :| [22:43] <[TiZ]> Thank you. [22:43] A question about ssh : server is "John", my own computer is "doe", How do I do to tell "john", to accept ssh connection, only from people using keys, not just password. Is there something to change in /etc/ssh/sshd.config file. ? [22:43] deltah: mounting the disk in ubuntu won't help you boot Windows, which is your goal. [22:44] deltah, Pulling the plug on a wubi install is the kiss of death and the main reason not to use it [22:44] whyameye but if ubuntu shutsit down poperly, what it had not done before, maybe then even windows can use it again. Anyway windows is not important, my files are [22:44] arvernes: comment out the accept_password line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sig up (restart) ssh [22:45] upgrading to 8.10 won't mess with my menu.lst will it? (it won't mess with my dual boot system?) [22:45] deltah, dont count on it, recover what you can [22:45] deltah:wat exactly is the problem... i jus tuned in [22:45] deltah: if your goal is to read your files in ubuntu then copy them somewhere else, it makes sense to mount in ubuntu. I'm just saying it won't help you boot Windows. [22:45] Jack_Sparrow with a real ubuntu install to disk, pulling the plug wont cause that kinda problems anymore? [22:46] deltah, no, entirely differwent, still not a good idea, but much less likely that you would need to do that in the first place [22:46] how do i get an app to appear on the screen that i opened it on show up on that screen instead of screen0 when running multi xscreens? [22:46] richy i shutdown ubuntu which was wubi/installed didnt shutdown correctly, pulled the plug, now neither win nor ubuntu boot nor can live cd access the hdd [22:46] !ot [22:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:46] IcyPolecat: that will mean that all people trying to access the server will be rejected, if the server doesn't have their public key ? Is that correct. I ask you that because of security reason. As I know we have many people on that system with very easy to crack password, I don't want someone else to access to it. [22:46] deltah, I would try booting windows dick to recovery mode and fixmbr.. just to see, but only after you have recovered what you can [22:46] disk [22:47] Jack_Sparrow: supergrub [22:47] I wonder what Freud would say about that one [22:47] What's the ubuntu log bot? [22:47] deltah: yes Jack_Sparrow has a good plan for you. You need a place to copy your stuff. [22:48] gogereaver, not really, he didnt have grub beofre, it was a wubi install [22:48] wireless troubleshooting [22:48] MTecknology: ubuntulog [22:48] arvernes: correct. That's what I use to secure my SSH. that and change the default port from 22 (also in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config) to something else - won't defeat port scanners but should stop idle script kiddies. Oh and disable root login in the same file [22:48] ikonia: is it supybot? [22:48] whyameye just what i currently don~t have humm [22:48] MTecknology: don't think so [22:48] EVERYONE! i thank you all for you help and support in setting up my ubuntu server, it's working beautifully [22:48] can someone help me with troubleshooting my wireless? [22:48] deltah: you have Internet access on the ubuntu box? Maybe you could back up to somewhere on the 'net? Or just buy an external drive... [22:48] ikonia: I was trying to figure out a decent way to do logging in my channel... [22:49] upgrading to 8.10 won't mess with my menu.lst will it? (it won't mess with my dual boot system?) [22:49] Hey all, I just started a new java course (i am a big newbie) I just want to know what i need to create and compile a java program in linux [22:49] Hello. Is there anything like /etc/sysconfig/console in ubuntu? I mean, the bootscripts that sets up the keyboard map, console font and console kernel log level ???????????????????? [22:49] Jack_Sparrow there~s no recovery mode offered. only a windows start helper that runs chkdisk for about half an hour and then says it has finished and i can restart, but no change [22:49] hello [22:49] I changed the port already and disable root login.But I can't find the line you told before "accept_password' [22:49] ciao [22:49] arvernes: hang on - am just re-installing ssh and will get you the exact line / pattern to search [22:49] my laptop has the wireless driver but it won't connect to the wireless router [22:49] If I install mysql versions 4 and 5 from the ubuntu (intrepid) repositories, will they be pre-configured to co-exist peacefully? [22:50] Hey, just installed Intrepid on an HP DV1000 and the wireless doesn't get detected.. I try hitting the wireless button, then checking my ifconfig, again, and it doesn't get listed.. Now, on my other dell computer (this one), i needed to go to Hardware Drivers and download the proprietary driver, and it works, but on the dv 1000 it doesn't list any interfaces. [22:50] IcyPolecat: thanks [22:50] man i love ubuntu [22:50] half the ti8me when I boot it it will and the other half it wont [22:50] whyameye> i~m a thousand miles away from home, and almost broke, so before march i won~t have no external hdd [22:50] give me a hard linux distro now, i think i'm ready [22:50] I have a puzzle for some smart Linux ppl to solve ...

No DVD Playback ... and yes I installed all to correct codecs and VLC etc ... No DVD Playback .... What do ya'll think? [22:50] deltah: if it makes you feel any better, I'm dealing with a similar issue. I have an old FAT32 drive with WinXP on it. Suddenly won't boot. It went down while running Windows. I'm dealing with it right now...

[22:56] cane a with ubuntu relayen [22:56] my graphics used to be normal, but now they are all 'fuzzy' and 'staticy' [22:57] i switched from vista to ubuntu and i want to know what ubuntu people think of windows 7 [22:57] zetheroo: and you have tried several differnet disc, correct [22:57] joejc: it doesn't matter [22:57] richy_ so i force mount via live cd? and reinstall wubi on same drive in same directory_ [22:57] KenBW2: joejc not much, I would assume ;) [22:57] who cares what others think [22:57] joejc: this is a support channel only - [22:57] I do have a propetiary (I think) driver, and it's not activated [22:57] exodus_ms: yes [22:57] nor does it exist yet [22:57] Anyone running on a later model Nvidia card? [22:57] commerciall [22:57] y [22:57] hatter243: she's wip[ed Windows and ubuntu wont log in - so she's created a big metal box :D [22:57] * Antharian watches joejc starting a holy war [22:57] upgrading to 8.10 won't mess with my menu.lst will it? (it won't mess with my dual boot system?) [22:57] zetheroo: one more question, your not using any virtualization software are you [22:57] KenBW2, You'll most likely have to be able to physically access the machine. SSH won't do the trick if it's a brick [22:58] richy_ wouldnt that delete the information saved in my /home on ubuntu? [22:58] exodus_ms: no [22:58] EdSquareCat: It would probably add stuff, but not remove stuff [22:58] hatter243: Ctrl+alt+F1 works [22:58] deltah: u can if u lik jus i install a new wubi ... and find the root.disk in that found.000 folder and replace the newly root.disk [22:58] hatter243: and she lives in Finland - that's a long journey from England :D [22:58] whats the program that will back up the ubuntu operating system and restore it to hd just like it was before????????? [22:58] KenBW2, do you know if she ever install the ssh package? Ubuntu by default does not support incoming SSH connections [22:58] okay, so my dual boot won't be messed up. [22:58] thanks [22:59] zetheroo: is compiz enabled [22:59] hatter243: i got her to istal openssh-server [22:59] richy_ ah, so the old one will be in found.000? u sure about that? [22:59] coool [22:59] hey guys [22:59] is there any way to schedule ubuntu hardy to wake from sleep at a particular time? [22:59] EdSquareCat: not a bad idea to make a backup anyway [22:59] exodus_ms: yes and no ... tried it on and off [22:59] KenBW2, so find the model of her router, and figure out how to forward port 22 on it over the TCP protocol [22:59] deltah:if it crashed into grub4dos then the root.disk will be in a found.000 on ya harddrive [22:59] I want to install mysql 4.0 on intrepid. It's not in the repositories for intrepid, I guess. Do I have to install a copy from outside the repositories?

[23:00] KenBW2, hah, good luckl [23:00] zetheroo: wow, sorry, I wouldn't know at this point [23:00] thank you for the hint, richy_ [23:01] exodus_ms: no worries [23:01] deltah:happened me on 3 occasions [23:01] zetheroo: again, I hope you get this fixed, stick around someone will help you out [23:01] deltah:im quadruple bootin linux mint,ubuntu,vista,xubuntu [23:02] richy_: never heard of mint [23:02] richy_: what's it like?

[23:05] NGL-TwYsTeD: it's just a generic lcd, I've googled it but nothing useful. It's a jack connection. [23:05] oholiab: every monitor i've had takes 120V/240V [23:05] what app can I use to measure my macbook temperature while running ubuntu. lately it seems to be running hot and need to be sure. [23:05] yeah, it's not the power itself, it's the jack size [23:05] oholiab: all the ones i've dealt with also use the default plug, generally found on the back of computer power supplies [23:06] WinterWeaver: Filtered means that a firewall, filter, or other network obstacle is blocking the port so that Nmap cannot tell whether it is open or closed [23:06] oholiab: the slotted one, that is a square with two corners chopped off [23:06] WinterWeaver: wow sorry -hddtemp [23:06] how to i apt-get ubunto 8.10 [23:06] hmm, never mind, just thought I'd throw it out there. thanks guys [23:06] baytes... hahaha [23:06] I have a question about k9copy - I'm trying to rip a DVD into an XviD, but the resulting file is 0 bytes in size, anyone knows what may be wrong?

[23:24] If I want to get the contents of "(getme) blah" using sed, how do I do that? I already have to escape the ( character for regex grouping purposes, so that makes it unclear.

Is there any true 64bit java clients?

[23:35] Where do I start troubleshooting this? [23:35] richy have you tried amarok¿ [23:35] with adjacent tracks [23:35] PeterFA: All sound? sometimes it's something to do with running Firefox [23:35] ok i got a slight problem. my taskbars are visible they havent dissapeared but the thing is everytime i decide to minimize a window it disapears. when it should normally be on one of my taskbars. only way i have been able to get back to my windows is by alt+tab. does anyone know how to get things back to normal???

[23:38] i had to drop out of college because my laptop came with ubuntu on it :( [23:38] PeterFA: well, there's something strange about the way Firefox / Flash does audio, sometimes running Firefox stops all other audio. There is a fix (I think it's it force Firfox to use alsa) but I don't remember [23:38] bobbyd, logging in/out effectively does that. [23:38] NS|Glock_Coma: EH?

[23:41] oholiab, I'm trying [23:41] thanks bobbyd i will try it [23:41] Mark_Jones: yes, you can just add the CD under sources I think [23:41] Mark_Jones: Take a look at : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto [23:41] bobbyd: Not very descriptive. Run recovery how? Reconfigure X how, and to what? [23:42] Mark_Jones: check out what format a normal install CD has it's packages in and check you burn them in the same way [23:42] portz: sorry, from the GRUB boot screen there should be a "recovery" option underneath your normal boot option [23:42] select that then it should show you a terminal with a few options, select "try to reconfigure X" [23:42] ok i got a problem with my windows wanting to disapear when i minimize them.. where as they should normally be on one of my taskbars . they just are no were to be found and only way ive found to get back to them is by using alt+tab. does anyone know how to get things back to where i can minimize and maximize windows from my taskbars???? [23:43] Forgot to mention: I can't enter GRUB menu. I see the option, but my keyboard doesn't respond. [23:43] alternatively, drop into a root shell and undo your change [23:43] oh [23:43] that's a problem then :) [23:43] Yeah. [23:43] are you using a USB keyboard on an old machine or something? [23:43] Tell me how to do it from the root shell? [23:43] did it work before your update? [23:43] bobbyd, it is said that the sound craps out when she goes away for a while. [23:43] No. New build. I've tried USB and Bluetooth === sebastian_ is now known as Arawaj [23:43] portz: you still need to access grub [23:43] IT did work before.

[23:46] hmm, that's weird then [23:46] It would have made more sense if it was a suspend issue [23:46] why is that happenning? both monitors are different size (21" and 19" at 1650 and 1440) [23:46] LOL the first lady of France [23:46] http://s3.bg.battle-knight.com/index.php?loc=hire&ref=NDAyNDU= [23:46] Jj: have you fiddled around with your xorg.conf? [23:46] bobbyd, yup, I've tried 3 different applets. the only one that runs is "sensors-applet" but it's constantly popping up error notifications [23:46] the only thing I can suggest is looking in the syslog between the time she closes the lid and the time you realise it's screwed [23:46] she could use some cloths ... [23:46] oholiab: no, not yet [23:46] well, at some moment I did to set up the dual screen [23:47] not recently, this has always happened though [23:47] Mark_Jones: can't you use "wget -m ..." or -r ? [23:47] Jj: you might want to have a look and compare the two different screen setups [23:47] Jj: there's probably something in there [23:47] I have no idea [23:47] WinterWeaver: it's something with a weird name [23:47] gargamelca, please don't post random link here; #ubuntu-offtopic may be interested [23:47] WinterWeaver: back in a moment [23:48] well, both monitores do have different attributes [23:48] Mark_Jones: you can use wget to recursively retrieve stuff from websites (if they let you) [23:48] http://dpaste.com/109199/ <- there isnt much to it [23:48] can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise)? sis 771/671 card [23:48] well let me ask this instead.There is a Hardy image built in January its 8.04.2 but Im not sure if its stable anyone know?
