[00:00] nice, thanks [00:00] m0sh3: you might want to try some console irc clients like irssi or weechat. [00:00] bobbyd, how do I run the applet? I tried to add to the gnome panel, but the only extra applet I saw there was a FreqScaling monitor, it does not measure the temperature [00:00] Does anyone have any ideas on my issue? I have a lot of important stuff on there and I'm really not sure what to do. [00:01] Kevin___: can you ssh into the box? [00:01] can you echo an end of line character ? ie echo "line 1 \n line2 \n" > file [00:01] WinterWeaver: you need to install it with synaptic, then add "CPUFreq monitor" in the applets menu [00:01] Nightrid3r: I have a web admin interface installed and can access a terminal prompt from there. === _cappiz is now known as cappiz [00:02] bobbyd, yup that's exactly what I did, but it't not measuring temperature at all, only cpu frequency [00:02] WinterWeaver: does it have temp enables in the preferences? [00:02] Trying to install the 64bit flash player in firefox. i downloaded the .so file and copied it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ doesnt seem to work. [00:02] como monto um dispositivo raid pra manutenção ? [00:02] Kevin___: worst case scenario, you can backup your stuff trough webmin [00:03] sorry! [00:03] does anyone know a cli method that will tell me my external ip address, not the one my router gives me with ifconfig? [00:03] yme: that's sweet man, well done :D [00:03] Kevin___: can you just do ctrl-alt-f1 and get a terminal? [00:03] bobbyd, there is no option for preferences... left click gives be a list of presets for cpu frequency, right click just gist the standard gnome panel options (ie. move, remove etc.), but no preferences [00:03] Kevin___: remember ctrl-alt-f7 to get back here :) [00:03] roni: probably do some cool wget whatsmyip.org and fish it out of there :) [00:04] WinterWeaver: weird, I've got preferences :) [00:04] bobbyd: I have the machine at work so I'll have to check tomorrow. See, the error keeps popping up when I hit OK so I'm not sure if it'll let me do a ctrl-alt-f1 [00:04] lrdApex: thanks ill mess with that [00:04] bobbyd: Can I just run the commands from webmin? [00:04] roni: or if you like ruby they have some nice ways of crawling web pages [00:04] !webmin [00:04] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:05] bobbyd, you have the same version of ubuntu ? 8.04 [00:05] Kevin___: the other thing to do is log in as root (use the recovery option at the GRUB prompt), you then have full access to the machine and could create another user account, or transfer the data [00:05] !ebox [00:05] 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 [00:05] how can i mount an soft raid md device on a liveCD for rescue some files? [00:05] WinterWeaver: 8.10 here, but this has worked for a long time for me [00:05] anyone installed adobe flash 64bit plugin for firefox? [00:06] Kevin___: I don't know, sorry [00:06] !flash64 [00:06] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [00:06] lrdApex, activate medibunturepo and ues it to install flash [00:06] medibuntu repository* [00:06] bobbyd: Sorry, I'm not totally sure what or where the GRUB prompt is... [00:06] Kevin___: it's the text you get on boot when the machine starts up [00:07] but as someone said, you could also just ssh to it from Linux, or Windows using something like Putty [00:07] bobbyd: Ok. I'll try it out. Thanks guys. [00:07] pio_: rather not add the extra repo and do this manually, any suggestions? [00:11] can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise)? sis 771/671 card [00:11] oholiab, thank you for your help [00:11] Bye [00:12] nightrid3r, 1024x768 will work for vesa [00:12] how do i send mail from the command line? something like $ sendmail emailaddress subject body ? [00:12] Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu (hardy) normally uses the IPv4 protocol or is that an anomaly on my system? [00:12] Hello ppl [00:12] back on ubuntu :) [00:13] and pidgin [00:13] Jack_Sparrow: i know but i can only set 800x600 trough the gui util and have no idea how to setup Xorg.conf [00:13] can you have a fusion of ubuntu and kubuntu at the same time? [00:13] no [00:13] m0sh3: yeah, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:13] m0sh3: yes you can [00:13] switch between yes [00:14] gi [00:14] oh ok nice :) [00:14] hi [00:14] i'll still have all my files right? [00:14] yes [00:14] Jack_Sparrow: via the kubuntu-dekstop you can [00:14] ok thanks [00:14] exit [00:14] m0sh3: yes, just uses a different window manager [00:14] how do i connect to another channel? [00:14] zc00gii, fusion of both no, select between kubuntu and ubuntu under options when you login ,. yes [00:14] can anyone help me,in setting up my wireless network.Icant figure it out [00:15] m0sh3: there's fluxbox, xubuntu-desktop, and many more, I suggest getting ccsm too [00:15] what is fluxbox? [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: essentially, yeah sort of, you have eachothers programs [00:15] zc00gii: they are called KDE FLUXBOX ang GNOME [00:16] zc00gii: it's the same operating system just a different desktop environment [00:16] m0sh3: a down to earth, simple, windows manger, think of it as the Windows Classic style of Linux [00:16] nice [00:16] kitche: I do kow that, even kubuntu itself is, and ruffles_, I was saying the packages (I hate posting too many lines) [00:16] that would be a good idea, since i wanna change from windows to linux [00:17] Hello [00:17] KDE is alot like Windows(Kubuntu window manager) [00:17] i don't like the idea to be paying for software right now that i'm in my college years [00:17] yeah i have tried that one [00:17] but personally prefer Gnome [00:17] http://xwinman.org/ for info on wm's [00:17] gives me a different taste than windows [00:17] there are pople who think microsoft copied KDE for windows acutally [00:17] I like windowmaker, myself [00:18] KDE4 is like Win7, and KDE3 is like vista and older ones [00:18] does anyone know how to setup a wireless network in ubuntu? [00:18] Anyone present able to assist with a tv tuner ausio issue? [00:18] i think microsoft first runs over it with a train before they copy but thats just me :) [00:18] !ot [00:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:19] xiphos, tvtime. mythtv. linuxmce etc?

[00:19] i tried Win7 looks nice but it is the same thing, just some new features but none of them to be recalled. [00:19] Jack_sparrow: All of the above [00:19] I updated Ubuntu and now X gets stuck in an infinite restart. I'm only able to start the system and use TTY1-6...is there any way I can just "restore" my intall to the current release and blow away everything non-standard? [00:20] remix if you want to join a wireless network then at the top right, you will see your network, click on it and click on the wifi essid you want to join, then put in the password or paraphrase and you should be set [00:20] m0sh3: I just wanted a free windows excuse for apps I need to run on Windows lol [00:20] I cannot get any apps to play audio directly. I have to cat /dev/audio1 to /dev/audio, and that results in mono-only sound, and a 2 second delay. [00:20] remix if however you are having problems, then install wicd and that should be basic enough to work [00:20] lol xD [00:21] i have it on a dvd, i installed it for like 2 days [00:21] !ot > m0sh3 [00:21] m0sh3, please see my private message [00:21] then i unistalled it and installed linux [00:22] I'm watching TV with tvtime now, with the 2-second delayed audio. It's very annoying. === emnii is now known as emnii_ [00:22] ubottu, ok, sorry man my bad [00:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:22] So, /dev/audio1 is definitely the correct TV tuner audio device. It even shows up in alsa. [00:23] join ##ubuntu-offtopic [00:23] When entering the Ubuntu Recovery Mode, will it boot GNOME or will it just give me a command prompt? [00:23] Any way to restore ubuntu to a pristine state without doing a full reinstall?

I've got the packages on my HDD, I just want to jump back into the before times of long, long ago where things worked [00:25] PixelBitch, the suggestion would be then to have a backup [00:25] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah... [00:25] remix_: is it a adapter or router? if a router the default GNOME network manager will do [00:25] PixelBitch, did you just install video drivers or a bunch of other stuf [00:26] what's the equivalent of ipconfig /renew on linux? [00:26] remix_: is your adapter supported ?? [00:26] ozzloy: ifconfig [00:26] ozzloy, sudo dhclient [00:26] sudu ifup eth0 is that renew IP? [00:26] I let Ubuntu do it's update via update manager and now my X is stuck in an infinite restart [00:27] PixelBitch, Were there perhaps unsupported repos in your source list.. or things youinstalled manually [00:27] linux_trojan, that brings up an interface, not necessarily renew the DHCP lease. [00:28] hey guys just wondering if you could recomend a gui feeling unrar utility to use in a shell [00:28] unop: well you have to do sudo ifdown eth0 first? [00:28] Jack_Sparrow: Possibly. Is there any way to just go back to a defacto Ubuntu install without doing a full wipe? I've got my important bits on other HDDs and machines. [00:28] linux_trojan, even then, an ifup doesn't necessarily renew a DHCP lease. [00:28] PixelBitch, there is no rollback [00:28] i see [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: Gotcha. Welp, I'm off to reinstall. Thanks for the help matey. [00:29] linux_trojan: can you not just do dhcpcd stop and then dhcpcd start? [00:29] np sorry it wasnt a better answer [00:29] anyone know how to download video from a camcorder in ubuntu? google info is very weak, could use some help [00:29] PixelBitch: A good thing to do right now is try and figure out what you did wrong so as to not repeat the mistake. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ? [00:29] !paste | PixelBitch [00:29] PixelBitch: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[00:59] skandlous: remember to burn as an image, not as data dsik [01:00] Schuenemann: maybe try adjusting the PCM volume [01:00] I am trying to run the package manager and it says error:brokencount>0 [01:00] Please can i install xubuntu on my laptop Toshiba tecra 8100 PIII 128 Mo ? [01:00] fromero69, open synaptic and go to edit and click fix broken packages [01:00] Hi there, what's the proper way to tie a command to a specific script script in a dir (i.e: /var/lib/some_script) ? Using alias in .bashrc or ? [01:00] Schuenemann: in the volume control that is [01:00] frmer69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418182 [01:00] ok thanks... i need to get a burner first... running an asus eee and dont have an external cdrom yet [01:00] outofthemadness, it's already maxed. And that distorts the sound... [01:01] everything is maxed, actually [01:01] Victorix: should work [01:01] I am not sure what happened but after the last few updates my wireless kicked in and has been working without dropped signals. [01:01] this is my 3rd day using linux so I dont know much about anything. i tried to use synaptic manager but I got this messageE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:01] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [01:01] whileimhere: the magic of updates :) [01:02] bartek: I'd put a link to it in a directory already in your path, like /usr/local/bin [01:02] jtaji: good idea! thanks [01:02] fromero69, Applications > Accessories > Terminal [01:02] fromero69: open a terminal and type in the dpkg..... command [01:02] fromero69, then type sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:02] okay ill do that [01:03] Schuenemann, that's all I've got to suggest. I had that same problem, but that's how I solved it. My PCM volume was too high... IIRC there is a linux audio channel on freenode. I might suggest trying there [01:03] are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size? [01:03] Hey all, just wondering what is the command to compile a java program in terminal? [01:03] outofthemadness: #lad / #lau [01:03] Hello! What is a good GUI Ubuntu program for archives? [01:03] okay I entered that command and now it's back at the promtp frank@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:03] [sudo] password for frank: [01:03] Setting up java-common (0.30ubuntu3) ... [01:03] Processing triggers for man-db ... [01:03] Processing triggers for doc-base ... [01:03] fromero69: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:03] Processing 23 changed, 2 added doc-base file(s)... [01:03] IE: ZIP, ARC [01:04] Newfie_rich: I thought Java was an interpreted language? [01:04] exit [01:04] Ooops [01:04] gonewestcoast: it is justintime compiled [01:04] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [01:04] hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux [01:04] okay sorry [01:04] Is the XFCE desktop really lighter on the system than GNOME? [01:04] echo_: archiver, fileroller maybe [01:04] new question but not ubuntu specific: if updates fail to install is that because they dont pertain to my current distro and or system reqa [01:04] gonewestcoast: ok but do you know how to compile java code? [01:05] whileimhere: yes it is [01:05] whileimhere: yes. I know someone using it on a p200 [01:05] Newfie_rich: Apparently not. :-p [01:05] whileimhere: yes but xfce is getting more bloated every day [01:05] Hello. What's good software for ZIP and RAR files? Right out of the box, I can't extract anything, it says unknown archive so I guess I need better software. Anyone? [01:05] Newfie_rich: you use javac to compile the code to java bytecode (for the vm). the JVM then compiles it to native code or interprets it. [01:05] On a p2 wowo [01:05] whileimhere: if you really want something lightweight, try fluxbox [01:05] I ran the command sudo dpkg --configure a [01:05] whileimhere: or lxde its pretty nice [01:05] echo_: rar is in the repo's [01:05] hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux [01:05] whileimhere: p1, 200mhz :) [01:05] eseven73 I have tried it but my wireless was not there. [01:06] fromero69, run synaptic now ... should be fine [01:06] k [01:06] a p1 linxeh? WOWW [01:06] Newfie_rich: you can in theory compile java to native code completely, but it is completely going against the whole point of the language. you should have used C. [01:06] Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and xserver-xorg-video-ati [01:06] nightrid3r, I don't know what that means. Repo's? [01:06] whileimhere: your wireless can be setup manually in /etc/network/interfaces then just ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 or whatever it is called if not wlan0 [01:06] whileimhere: yep no panel icons or menus really :) that's what makes it lightweight [01:06] Ahh but I am lazy and like some things auto. [01:06] echo_: use synaptic and search for rar [01:06] ;) [01:07] Does anyone know of a program to create cd labels (for cd itself not case) specifically with the memorex template WL-OL5025 [01:07] linxeh thanks for your help that all i needed to know [01:07] nightrid3r, I am doing that, however nothing is GUI based (well, the last couple I've tried at least.) [01:07] can anyone help with a printer issue? I'm on a windows network, and I'm trying to access a network printer. I got through the printer config stuff, and then it asked me for the "Password for root on localhost". Now, I know there is none set. Is there some way to get around that? Or something specific I'm supposed to put in? [01:07] wow thank you so much [01:07] it was such a simple fix lol [01:07] whileimhere: to get your wireless up in fluxbox you have to edit its startup file and do wirelessprogramthing & then next line have exec fluxbox [01:07] matrim26: Try your username/pass [01:07] echo_: its for a server ? [01:07] whileimhere: lightweight window mangers can run things automatically too, but you have to edit a file [01:08] seems me and h4mx0r are on the same page :) [01:08] nightrid3r, no, it's not for a server. [01:08] whileimhere: try doing leafpad ~/.fluxbox/startup [01:08] powertool08: tried it, didn't work [01:08] !HFS [01:08] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [01:08] matrim26: Try localhost:631, maybe you can set it there somewhere [01:09] echinos: hmmm arch should use rar to open the files [01:09] if an update fails installation repeatedly does that just mean it doesnt apply to my system [01:09] powertool08: as the username or password? [01:09] IF somebody use XEN virtualization on ubuntu server 8.10 please private-me [01:09] Newfie_rich: the article in wikipedia on java is quite good [01:09] Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and cannot find gstreamer-properties [01:09] eseven73: yeah, I usually use fluxbox but been loving lxde. Tried playing some yesterday with xmonad but its bit confusing and restrictive in ways [01:09] h4mx0r: lol i just installed lxde last night, its ok i guess. but i love my fluxbox :) [01:09] matrim26: No, in a browser, go to localhost:631 to get to the cups web interface [01:09] rxs: what's xv output? [01:10] skandlous: could be or maybe there was an update done from source [01:10] There used to be a pacman screensaver in the xscreensavers anyone know where it is now? [01:10] nightrid3r, Karchiver looks promising, I'm going to try that. [01:10] eseven73: hey I got a question for you which do you prefer conky or gkrellem? [01:10] conky is good, havent had much time with gkrellem [01:10] echo_: that should work together with rar [01:11] eseven73: i heard there was something else called xmodbar but it isn't in the repos perhaps renamed with some other tools [01:11] h4mx0r: i really dunno exactly .. but I know that my driver supports only one xv port for video and I would love to use x11 output with software scaling [01:11] It appears it works with all typical archives. I am extracting a DVD movie image, what is good burning software? [01:11] echo_: K3b [01:12] mrwes, thank-you. [01:12] nod [01:12] rxs: so umm what you trying to do with that then? [01:12] h4mx0r: yeah i donno, im on my Fedora box at the moment so i couldnt check :) [01:12] thanks night [01:12] hey does anyone know how to free up space [01:12] eseven73: do you know how to get battery status and thermal temperatures listed in conky? I use a laptop and it would be helpful [01:12] i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png [01:12] yes | rm -fr / [01:13] h4mx0r: okay .. let me put it this way .. I really dont care what gstreamer uses, as I dont use any app that works directly with it ... I use xfce and mplayer for my needs .. but then skype has a gstreamer dependency and uses xv for video output ... but can also use X11 [01:13] !danger [01:13] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [01:13] h4mx0r: that requires lm-sensors and a good .conky script [01:13] yes I wouldnt run that command btw [01:13] h4mx0r, its really personal pref. i prefer conky myself [01:13] but that is a way to free some space [01:13] ogre: right click the button and select edit menu should be option to delete the ubuntu thing [01:13] ok [01:14] wyoung: that is not helpful at all. :/ [01:14] wyoung: it's a way to destroy your system, please don't give that sort of advice here [01:14] good evening [01:14] hello [01:14] eseven73: it is if you are in a root shell [01:14] h4mx0r: in mplayer I use X11 with zoom enabled for watching videos .. I have long forgotten about gnome and gstreamer ... and I remember a command called gstreamer-properties .. it used to work in 7.10 .. but then ... now .. I kind of find nothing similar [01:14] no its not [01:14] wyoung: with the / and blow away everything? sigh... [01:14] stop suggesting it [01:14] how can I make VLC my default movie player instead of the stock 8.10 player? (totem?) [01:14] The Ubuntu thang is a funky thang that none should delete. [01:14] rxs: so is skype not playing or is there an error? does it have something to do with not being able to run other sound apps while listening to voice? [01:14] ok [01:15] eseven73: ah lm-sensors I forgot all about those thanks [01:15] hey is there anything i can delete to free up space [01:15] TheFunkbomb: Right-click on the video file and go to the properties to change "Open with..." [01:15] it keeps sayin somethin is full [01:15] are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size? [01:15] mike12: anything you aren't using [01:15] kinja-sheep, beautiful [01:15] thanks [01:15] wyoung: stop getting linux info from bash.org [01:15] h4mx0r: its not about voice .. its about the video ... if it uses the xv output .. i cannot have both my video and the other parties video .. I would love to use X11 w/ scaling and be able to see that [01:15] h4mx0r: yw [01:15] im can delete everything [01:15] mike12: 'sudo aptitude clean' will clear out the package cache in /var/cache/apt/archives [01:16] i just wanna like reset the computer [01:16] mike12: Try sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean [01:16] nightrid3r: xkcd actually : [01:16] h4mx0r, any idea where the tick box for that icon is? [01:16] anybody know about hostpad module [01:16] do i just look for that in a folder [01:16] kinja-sheep, that doesn't make it the default player though, does it? [01:16] h4mx0r: I have complete control on my sound w/ alsa ( not a big fan of pulse .. though I have read the white papers and I am impressed with teh sliding window approach ) [01:16] when I run tremulous its all slow when you go into a server it totally freezes [01:16] mike12: Run it in the terminal. [01:17] someone got time for a person considering "the switch" [01:17] ok just type sudo [01:17] DevilDoc5: ok, fire away [01:17] mike12: Run in the terminal --> sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean [01:17] rxs: yeah i'm using pulse with 8.10, is it possible to hear multiple sound streams or do I have to switch back to alsa. [01:17] ok thanks [01:17] rxs: about your problem though why do you say your limited to only one output? [01:17] lol [01:17] exit [01:18] michal_: try ctrl + c [01:18] h4mx0r: xvinfo | grep ports says 1 [01:18] thx [01:18] I was wondering, as I seem to have tethered myself to "the beast" via various games and applications, is there a (preferably) free accurate windoze replicator that will allow me to still play my games and such? [01:18] h4mx0r: now that sucks .. as I can have only one xv playing at the same time :( [01:18] I think I just sent mike12 to his death. [01:18] rxs: wow.. mine says 32 [01:18] DevilDoc5, Look at Wine, but it wont play everything [01:18] kinja-sheep, i saw that. [01:18] !wine | DevilDoc5 [01:18] DevilDoc5: 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 [01:18] cool thanks will check it out [01:19] Salve a tutti! [01:19] DevilDoc5: games are problematic but some apps may run under wine [01:19] DevilDoc5: wine is in the right direction [01:19] DevilDoc5: also look at winetricks, playonlinux, and the ubuntu forums advanced wine section. They help a lot [01:19] DevilDoc5, put it this way, not everything works, but the Orangebox does [01:19] so did Doom3 [01:19] DevilDoc5: or you can buy vmware with opengl support [01:19] also how about YIM? Preferably with Webcam support as I need this for my business dealings [01:19] h4mx0r: what graphics card do u have ? I am long time ubuntu user ( feel ashamed to say that as I cant find gstreamer settings .. ) [01:19] Vantrax: why would you use Doom3 with wine just use native Doom3 :) [01:19] DevilDoc5: but legally you still need a windows licence to run windows in a vm [01:19] ogra: My mistake. Shouldn't have the wildcard in it. At least he's freeing up some spaces. :| [01:20] I was actually talking about Combat arms and BF2 [01:20] ANYONE???? TREMULOUS CRASHES X [01:20] kitche, native doom3 came out after [01:20] h4mx0r: I have a ati x300 .. the worst of the lot and have struggled with it for over 3 years ... mostly with the ati-fglrx driver .. but then ... now with the open source and xrandr I have better control [01:20] yim? [01:20] I still have windows licenses from old comps, that are unused, those should work no? [01:20] Ubuntu make use dual channel memory ? [01:20] DevilDoc5, BF2 works in wine [01:20] Yahoo Instant Messenger [01:20] CrocoJet, yes [01:20] CrocoJet: yes if your system handles dual channel memory [01:20] TheFunkbomb: Yes -- It does make it the default player. [01:20] rxs: I don't use gstreamer much myself either Iike using smplayer a bit though. I have a nvidia 7600 go. Yeah ati is like that they just cheat to beat benchmarks no real settings though and most only play at max performance [01:20] awesome thank you [01:21] CrocoJet: your motherboard does [01:21] kinja-sheep, okay, thanks [01:21] do you have idea % performance .. single channel and dual channel ? [01:21] CrocoJet: that is up to your motherboard [01:21] ok [01:21] thank you all very much for your help this evening [01:21] TheFunkbomb: And if you happen to run a different file that opens up the different player -- Name it to VLC -- Because of different in filenames extension + possible formats. [01:21] CrocoJet: te os doesnt have control over that [01:21] h4mx0r: anyway .. I dont want to install gnome ( cant stand metacity ! ) .. so do you know how I can invole gstreamer-properties in 8.04 ? [01:21] i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png I am in "edit menus" and cannot find which icon it is [01:21] rxs: what driver you using for it though? the proprietary one recently was released as open source and they have been integrated some [01:22] well not recently actually quite a while back [01:22] the open source [01:22] ok, thanks for information ! [01:22] h4mx0r: the open source one [01:22] rxs: why can't you just install gstreamer without gnome? I mean even xubuntu and kubuntu use it for some things. [01:23] ogre: Seems like it's in the theme you used.... [01:23] you need all the dependancies h4mx0r [01:23] h4mx0r: yes I did install all the stuff but still cant find the settings manager ! [01:23] hi it's me again fomero69, I have downloaded Ubuntu to msi wind, and there are a few problems that I need help with [01:23] fromero69, grats [01:23] rxs: didn't know there was a manager app for it [01:23] kinja-sheep, yeah so i can just edit it in the theme then? [01:23] h4mx0r: did a aptitude install gstreamer* [01:23] I help resolving the suspension problem with the msi wind [01:23] h4mx0r: huh the open source driver is not the same as proprietary for ati really [01:23] h4mx0r: what version of ubuntu do you use ? [01:24] fromero69: what's msi wind? [01:24] ogre: I'm not expert. If you can. Sure. I suppose you should try renaming the icon (to something else) and it may disappear. [01:24] it's a netbook no cd rom [01:24] kitche: yeah they are both a bit different [01:24] h4mx0r: come to think o it .. they did some stuff with gnome and integrating all gnome stuff into some settings thing ... lemme look around for a sec [01:24] everything works fine, I just need to run some codes in the terminal but I cant see to make it work [01:24] kinja-sheep, ill give it a go. i think i can fix it [01:25] ogra: Alright. Good luck. :) [01:25] rxs: I'm on 8.10 right now. Thinking about reformatting though I've messed up this laptop so much lol. And it would be nice to have a separate /home incase I want to multi boot other systems [01:25] I found the solution but I just cant make it work for some reason here's the link [01:25] http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks [01:26] h4mx0r: yes... a separate /home is the bets way [01:26] fromero69, suspend is a common problem across linux in laptops [01:26] oh really [01:26] h4mx0r: come to think of it ... i have not changed my home .. may be deleted a few configs over time .. but from 6.04 ... its been the same home [01:26] why would that be? is because of linux and the programming? [01:26] fromero69, are you using 8.10 or 8.04 [01:27] fromero69: not really a problem just a lot of people whom know the word suspend also know enough tech to whine like a newbie :/ [01:27] I am using 8.10 and I have found the solution on the website http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks I just cant make it work for some reason [01:27] h4mx0r: dont have the patience to download 8 GB of mail :) [01:27] hahaha like me you mean lol [01:28] fromero69: the instructions are for 8.04 [01:28] I am programming on linux and need to get my program work to have access to some files which require sudo, so right now I use with gksudo and it works okay, is there way to create a shorcut or something to di it [01:28] yeah I guess that is the problem [01:28] I do not want a user to do that ever time he/she uses the app [01:28] I figured it should still be the same [01:28] so I just need to find something for ubuntu 8.10 [01:28] Does anyone have experience recovering files from NTFS partitions? [01:29] how do i invoke gnome prefernces using command line ? [01:29] james_: More than I'd like. [01:29] james_ how bad is it [01:29] james_: not in ubuntu [01:29] ?? [01:29] tester_: umm use sudo or drop privileges [01:29] bonsoir [01:29] * fabos est content [01:29] !gstreamer-preferences [01:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:29] tester_: I use kismet a bit and it requires partial root access maybe try a similar method [01:29] !fr [01:29] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [01:29] h4mx0r, I am using gksudo right now, was hoping there was a way to create a shortcut or something [01:29] gonewestcoast: business MYOB accounting files, all gone [01:29] join #ubuntu-fr [01:30] fromero69: going for 8.04 can keep you out of the upgrade cycle for a longer time so this might be a wise choice [01:30] maybe we will be write a simple shell script [01:30] fabos: its /join [01:30] gonewestcoast: Gone how? [01:30] Er. [01:30] james_: Gone how? Baleeted? [01:30] how do i make my terminal flash? [01:30] has gstreamer-properties been discontinued from 8.04 ? if so how does one set the gstreamer properties .. particularly video output [01:30] I think I'm experiencing a filezilla bug. <_< [01:30] yeah I see [01:31] gonewestcoast: A friend accidently deleted them with a program called CCleaner [01:31] james_: Okay, this isn't even remotely covered under Ubuntu. Go talk to #windows about it. [01:31] I have no cd rom so I used wubi to install the software and it just installed ubuntu 8.10 [01:32] fromero69: dont' use wubi get a usb to install ubuntu there is simple app for it [01:32] gonewestcoast: okey doke, thanks [01:32] fromero69: get an usb dvd drive and use that [01:32] fromero69: use this program http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [01:32] !unetbootin [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin [01:32] okay thank you [01:32] bah [01:33] fromero69: wubi would be translating the ntfs to a native linux file system and slow things a tiny bit on disk access [01:33] man how do I automate gksudo [01:33] thank you very much [01:33] it still prompts me to select an app to run [01:33] everyone thank you! [01:34] Is there a separate forum for programming questions on linux? [01:34] eseven73: they should add that program to ubottu its very nice. burning cds is so obsolete. [01:35] h4mx0r: yeah good idea [01:35] tester_, your best of asking in a forum for the language you are coding in [01:35] When in a Terminal I want to be able to type the command "clear" to also be usable with the command "cls" I sure that can be accomplished with a custom Linking so something like that... [01:35] tester_: there are lots of programming groups, and there are some bug/error channels you can keep track of. You checked launchpad yet its kind of nice [01:35] ninjabuntu: its called an alias [01:35] I have a 1080p .mp4 file that wont play using mplayer or VLC. Anyone know why? It plays sound, but screen is black [01:35] first the floppy drive , now cdrom goes obsolete haha, what's next.

[01:36] eternaljoy: always :) [01:36] lolcakes: yeah thats it... h4mx0r: now how to do that for the clear command... [01:36] ninjabuntu, alias cls='clear' [01:36] ninjabuntu: I also set some streamed music servers in my bashrc for a few genre I like incase I get bored with cli :) [01:36] whileimhere: its Terminal Services Client in Aplications->internet [01:37] eternaljoy: try to play it in mplayer using the command line and the -v and -frames 1 options. Look for errors. === rob is now known as Guest42047 [01:37] Terminal Server Client* [01:37] Thanks! [01:37] tekteen: what? [01:37] Also is there an open source Virtulization program? [01:37] yes, Virtualbox [01:38] eternaljoy: your video, play it with mplayer using the terminal [01:38] !virtualbox [01:38] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [01:38] whileimhere: XEN [01:38] whileimhere: yeah its called terminal server something another. Some of the clients features aren't installed by default though so if you want vnc or x11 streaming support should install those packages [01:38] tekteen: how? [01:38] sylphid: so wait... I go into the folder where Clear is, and type Sudo alias cls='Clear' [01:38] ninjabuntu: edit your .bashrc [01:38] eternaljoy: I do not know how to open a terminal in ubuntu [01:38] !terminal | eternaljoy [01:38] eternaljoy: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:38] lolcakes: the command to edit that is? [01:38] tekteen: it is under accessories!! [01:39] Does anyone know how i can stream movies from linux to my xbox 360? [01:39] ninjabuntu: "sudo nano ~/.bashrc" [01:39] tekteen: ok ty [01:39] h4mx0r: I am not a gnome person [01:39] :-) [01:39] tekteen: don't panic! do ctrl alt f2 if you can't find a terminal then ctrl alt f7 to get back to desktop [01:39] gday all [01:39] !thanks | tekteen [01:39] tekteen: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:39] lolcakes: ahhhh ok... [01:39] what is the proper procedure for removing an ubuntu installation on a dual-boot windows system? [01:39] tekteen: I know gnome scared the heck out of me when I first used it and couldn't find a terminal [01:39] lolcakes, ninjabuntu, no need for sudo to edit your own .bashrc [01:39] oh true [01:39] :P [01:40] yeah that would make it unaccessible to your user [01:40] h4mx0r: I use alt+f2 command gnome-terminal [01:40] eternaljoy: ok [01:40] yeah my bad, sorry ninjabuntu [01:40] eternaljoy: where is the video? [01:41] tekteen: I think alt f2 leaves some sort of run daemon going for one reason or another [01:41] how can i make my terminal flash? [01:41] tekteen: desktop === bobby is now known as odium1 [01:41] tekteen: it says mplayer not installed [01:41] Sylphid: explain [01:41] ok [01:41] Sylphid: you mean look fancy, or flash on and off? [01:41] eternaljoy: sudo apt-get install mplayer [01:41] Sylphid: take its trench coat off [01:41] sylphid: umm try getting a terminal that will render a gif as its background? sounds very glitchy though [01:41] tekteen: ok ty [01:41] anyone know the command to open the gnome menu editor? [01:41] lolcakes, flash on and off like an alert [01:42] calipso: right click menu -> edit menu [01:42] when you create a 770 directory, how can you cd to it if your not part of the group or the owner? [01:42] lolcakes: i removed it by accident :( [01:42] eternaljoy: once that is done, run the command: cd Desktop (capital D counts) [01:42] oh the command [01:42] umm [01:42] hey, i have a freaking problem with my built-in microphone on a asus f3jc laptop. All guide i've read so far tells me that this was a problem from ubuntu dapper and now it should works fine [01:42] calipso: alacarte [01:42] tekteen: ok [01:42] eternaljoy: tell me when that is done [01:42] Hallo jemand noc hda!? [01:42] i use intrepid and the mic does not work [01:43] ohh english [01:43] tekteen: ok brb [01:43] can anybody help me to boot the ubuntu iso from my usb stick !? [01:43] Daphko: what would you like us to do? [01:43] pio_, this may be a stupid question, but is the mic selected as a primary record source? [01:43] lolcakes: ok I entered the .bashrc then at the very bottom I entered [alias cls='clear'] with out the brackets and saved but nothing happens when I type cls and hit enter. [01:43] is it easy or hard to setup ftp server on ubuntu? [01:43] lolcakes, h4mx0r im trying to have my terminal flash on an event in a custom bash script [01:43] cinco29: it's easy [01:43] pio_, critical yet, often over looked option [01:43] ninjabuntu: source ~/.profile [01:44] ninjabuntu: type 'source .bashrc' in the terminal [01:44] Daphko: Is USB set up as a boot thing in BIOS? [01:44] Hi. [01:44] yes [01:44] i can boot from usb [01:44] pyrophelia, there are 5 input options, i've tried all [01:44] thanks jtaji and lolcakes [01:44] cinco29: there are a lot of ftp servers, what kind you looking for? there are also other methods of transfering files like ssh or ntfs/samba which perform well in their own regards [01:44] ninjabuntu: http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-create-command-alias-to-save.html [01:44] okay ima search on google to find out how. i don twanna bother yall professionals:) [01:44] pio_, what program are you using as your mixer? [01:44] Daphko: I am stumpered then,,let me look at the boards [01:44] Sylphid: emacs does that , ifyou disable the 'bell' you can make the entire app blink/flash :) and Emacs can run terminal stuff, mystery solved :) [01:45] !usb > Daphko .. the 2nd link may be what you're looking for [01:45] Daphko, please see my private message [01:45] Sylphid: yeah I heard you. Been waiting for someone to answer you, it sounds neat [01:45] the volume control that comes with intrepid [01:45] well im trying to setup ftp server for my brother to access my pc and just get what ever he wanna get [01:45] eternaljoy: are you almost done? having problems? [01:45] ok perfect... will that work from now on? or will i have to keep typing 'source .bashrc' every time I want to use that... [01:45] can I use grub to fix an error 22 with the MBR, or do I have to boot from windows cd/ubuntu livecd to fix this problem? [01:45] tekteen: 80% [01:45] ok [01:45] pyrophelia, also i've tried to configure using System - Preferences - Sound [01:46] ninjabuntu: .bashrc gets loaded everytime you start bash, so no [01:46] Sylphid: I did a few kool things with eterm before like invisible terminal. Perhaps there is an option with it try doing terminal --help to see or read the man pages [01:46] cinco29: vsftpd will do fine [01:46] awesome... [01:46] thanks guys... [01:46] cool can i get that from the add software thing? [01:46] cinco29: yes [01:46] pio_, in the volume control window, do you see a tab called 'switches' with "Microphone capture" checked? [01:46] niiice... [01:46] cinco29: yeah I heard lot of good things about vsftpd before and ultimately decided on using it myself [01:46] see i like this os so much im trying to bring him to the better side lol [01:47] pyrophelia, yes, but not now. It shows to me 5 sound devices, just 2 have input option [01:47] h4mx0r good to know [01:47] cinco29: why what other os you use? I feel bad for not trying out solaris or bsd :/ [01:48] I followed some instructions on a forum that said to remove ubuntu from a dual-boot system you just get rid of its partitions. turns out that doesn't work :P so now I have a grub error 22 [01:48] * lolcakes wonders how to shot web [01:48] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu on a Sony VAIO and when I get to the "Prepare partitions" screen, none of my partitions are listed and all of the buttons are grayed out except "Back" and "Forward". Why does this happen? [01:48] i also have windows xp... [01:48] cinco29: this ftp server not gonna be accessed from that outside world is it? If so you might want to try ssh server its more secure [01:48] and what do I do to fix it? [01:48] pio_, click on preferences and make sure your microphone capture option is being displayed and checked [01:48] but i have seen the light which ubuntu is [01:48] I can't get any software to properly unrar my RAR archive of a DVD movie. Whenever I try to unarchive it, the three different pieces of software Im using either A) say its not an archive, B) shows a very small file to extract (which isn't the whole archive, the file it shows is only 200 megs, it should be over 4 gigs) .. does anyone have any archive software they prefer? [01:48] gunspoja: boot your xp cd into recovery mode, then run "fixboot" and "fixmbr" [01:48] only my brother will access it. thats all [01:49] lolcakes, ok I'll go try that. thank you :) [01:49] KArchiver isn't working for me, nor is the Gnome archiver. It works under Windows so I know there is nothing wrong with the archive itself. [01:49] tekteen: ok thanks. it plays the video now :-) [01:49] pyrophelia, i checked it, but does not show the volume option [01:49] cinco29: ok because FTP is not encrypted :) [01:49] i got you [01:49] cinco29; use winscp, probably safer and easier [01:49] eternaljoy: mplayer worked? [01:49] !thanks > tekteen [01:49] tekteen, please see my private message [01:49] djeik: probably ubuntu not recognising your sata controler [01:49] gunspoja: umm think you have to format the mbr (master boot record) then repair it with whatever other os or boot loader you use [01:49] echo_: sounds like the archive is damaged? [01:49] eternaljoy user !helpersnack [01:49] i wanna see how many can i bring over to the light side and leave windowz the darkside [01:49] tekteen: yes, cheers big ears :-) [01:49] !helpersnack [01:49] pio_, you know what, I have learned that I dislike this program. install alsamixer :) [01:49] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:49] lolcakes, no, as it is fine via Windows. [01:50] nightrid3r: hmm okay, the drives show up in cfdisk... so the basic drivers seem to be working at least. is that not good enough for ubuntu? [01:50] winscp is for ubuntu? [01:50] eternaljoy: thanks tells me not to thank the bot [01:50] !helpersnack | tekteen [01:50] tekteen: please see above [01:50] ehco_: you you have not installed unrar [01:50] h4mx0r, actually I'd be quite happy to use grub, I don't really mind [01:50] pyrophelia, i checked Microphone Capture and Capture [01:50] *or [01:50] tekteen: :-) [01:50] nightrid3r: so I possibly need chipset drivers? [01:50] pyrophelia, i ahve alsamixer installed [01:50] have* [01:50] lolcakes, I have installed Unrar. [01:50] cinco29; no, it will be used on the xp/vista and will be able to access your box. [01:50] cinco29: do you and your brother share the same network? if so why not try nfs its faster. Or if its remote stuff ssh is nice if you set the encryption keys right [01:50] my text all of a sudden has huge spacing like in pdfs and certain apps! all i did was reduce the font size in Appearance. any idea what this could be? [01:50] pio_, use that to select your mic and turn the volume up. it's a little bit more flexible than this app [01:50] we in different states [01:50] !helpersnack | bastid_raZor [01:50] bastid_raZor: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:51] ehco_: the free or nonfree version? the nonfree version can handle more archives [01:51] djeik: yes but i have no idea how to fix that [01:51] pio_, arg [01:51] nightrid3r: alright, thanks a lot [01:51] ok I lied [01:51] they changed it on me [01:51] h4mx0r, i cant remember... what is the command to search all the man pages? [01:51] it not routes to pulse :x [01:51] pyrophelia, when i open, it just show speakers volume [01:51] pio_, yea sorry about that, they changed that option in 8.10 [01:51] lolcakes, I installed the free version. [01:51] Sylphid: man man [01:51] pio_, 1 sec [01:52] echo_: try the nonfree version [01:52] !botabuse | eternaljoy [01:52] eternaljoy: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [01:52] !botabuse | bastid_raZor [01:52] bastid_raZor: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [01:52] gunspoja: did you just reinstall grub or make any boot changes with which systems you have? if so you might need to check the config files and make sure they are pointed at the right sections of the hard drive [01:52] what about gftp?? [01:52] imo, the best gui ftp client for nix is FileZilla [01:53] pyrophelia, ok [01:53] cinco29: different daemon and different performance specs. [01:53] lolcakes, after installing the non-free version 'File Roller' is now seeing it properly. [01:53] lolcakes: yeah filezilla is very nice from what I've tried [01:53] oh ok [01:53] cinco29: you really need ssh server if its going to be going outside your local network [01:53] echo_: that sounds promising. is it working? [01:53] okay [01:53] im looking for that one right now [01:54] eseven73: not really, but ftp is usually for sharing with lots of random people [01:54] ftp isnt secure though [01:54] lolcakes, it is! [01:54] Thanks. [01:54] ftp cant be very secure [01:54] echo_: welcome :) [01:54] eseven73: torrenting > ftp bandwidth wise [01:54] eseven73 is absolutely correct, use SSH [01:54] *cant be [01:55] ok [01:55] *can [01:55] whay cant i type [01:55] dammit.. [01:55] How do I install packages from the repo's without internet access on the target machine? [01:55] What's the good application that'll colorize the terminal? [01:55] Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script? [01:55] fyrmedic: apt-oncd [01:55] pio_, do you have the capture tab present in your Volume control window? [01:56] tester_: Just a thought. Try removing sudo from your script. [01:56] pyrophelia, Recording Tab [01:56] tester_: It is likely that it didn't ask you for the password in first place because of 15-minutes window. [01:56] pio_, yea, go to preferences and make sure it's checked. it's between "Playback" and "switches" It seems that mic's are muted and input volume set to 0% by default [01:57] nightrid3r; thanks I'll give it a try. Do you know if restricted hardware drivers are on it? [01:57] No still asking, but from terminal it works okay [01:57] so when I type gksudo myapp.exe, it works, but exact same from shell ask for promt [01:57] fyrmedic: it will have whatever you want on them [01:57] thanks. [01:57] the name of the proggy im looking for is called,... ssh server? [01:58] cinco29: yes [01:58] cinco29: What are you trying to do? [01:58] !info ssh-server | cinco29 [01:58] Package ssh-server does not exist in intrepid [01:58] pyrophelia, hmm, i unmute it. When I reopen the app it's muted again :S [01:58] cinco29: try sshd [01:58] !info openssh-server | cinco29 [01:58] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 278 kB, installed size 764 kB [01:58] :O [01:58] cinco29: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=536 [01:58] kinja-sheep: there we go. I always forget the "open" :O [01:59] thank you [01:59] hi all, i dont know exactly what i need and how to do it i have at work win vista and home ubuntu how do i set up ubuntu so i can control vista at office (in office computer just connect to a router no server) [01:59] rww: Any chance you know a nice package that will colorize the ascii output in the terminal? [02:00] Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why... [02:00] kinja-sheep: output from an ssh session, or in general? because stuff like ls is colorized automatically for me... [02:00] !info tsclient | dmi3on [02:00] tsclient (source: tsclient): front-end for viewing of remote desktops in GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.150-1ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 308 kB, installed size 1136 kB [02:00] Bla. Wrong one. [02:00] rww: General. Take a look at supercat. ;) [02:01] kinja-sheep: remote dektop thingy? [02:01] dmi3on: tightvnc maybe (assuming you or your boss will open the port for the work computer) [02:01] dmi3on: you have to configure your router to forward the ports to your windows pc [02:01] which i think is 5900-5901 [02:01] :( [02:01] ignor me, testing colours [02:01] Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why... [02:01] kinja-Sheep umm the coloring is set in your .bashrc perhaps you edited it some how [02:02] vigo: for dmi3on. Not you. [02:02] pio_, mine seems to record with or without it so I'm not sure :x [02:02] is there any way to do it with out configuring router ?> [02:02] Okay [02:02] pio_, ask your question again maybe somebody with a bit more xp can help :( [02:02] tester_: ? [02:02] dmi3on: no [02:02] dmi3on: nope [02:02] Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script? [02:02] rww: Yes, the color worked for ls -al, because of the profile/bashrc. However, I'm looking for much more colors. htop (better than ps).... and... You know. Let me find you a link. [02:03] dmi3on: you can do a reverse connection [02:03] dmi3on: unless there is a vpn server [02:03] pyrophelia, it almost worked [02:03] its just big router for like 16 computers [02:03] hey i'm in intrepid and i'm thinking about upgrading my laptop's hard drive, what's a good way to get info about the connection my laptop uses to the hard drive? [02:03] rww: Example in Gentoo's using supercat -- http://supercat.nosredna.net/html-example-spc.html [02:03] dmi3on: I'd suggest nx or vnc reverse connection to home [02:04] dmi3on: its not a very good fix but would give you a graphical remote desktop [02:04] what it means reverse connection ? [02:04] some suggest me something as well, I am a good person too, I do go to church ever now and then [02:05] dmi3on: it means the system behind the firewall connects outside to the other system [02:05] dmi3on: rather than you connecting into the server the server connects to the client [02:05] dmi3on: the most important question is "will your boss allow this" [02:05] tester_: any reason why you need to use gksudo? [02:06] tester_: why not normal sudo? [02:06] it is a gui app [02:06] * odium1 puzzled [02:06] yes, just i dont want touch router because if some thing will stop working i will be first who to blame :) [02:06] hey, i had network-manager installed. i just removed it and i set up the network using /etc/networks/interfaces [02:06] quinten you are hardcore now [02:06] so i need do it with out touching router [02:06] tester_: but you're running it from a shell script? you can use normal sudo in the shell script, it doesnt matter what type of app it is [02:06] i want to make sure that the networks start up before a particular service. anything else i need to check? [02:06] I have a problem with my built-in mic. I use intrepid on Asus f3jc laptop. The input volume it's too low, i badly hear my voice [02:07] what is gksudo for then [02:07] pio_: have you turned it up with alsamixer? [02:07] tester_: a graphical interface for sudo [02:07] please ignore, I will check online [02:07] wow, thats it [02:07] h4mx0r, yes [02:07] I thought it had something to do with gdm/x [02:07] tester_: otherwise little terminals would pop up when you try and make system changes with gui apps [02:07] dmi3on: then the reverse thing is the way to go [02:07] !gksudo [02:07] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:08] lol [02:08] then im completely wrong [02:08] h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work [02:08] yay streaming media to xbox is even easier than on windows =) [02:08] h4mx0r, how hard is to set up nx or vnc reverse to set up ? i need to run one only one program in vista from ubuntu thats all [02:08] jackPsparrow thanks [02:08] np === rachel is now known as Guest12376 [02:08] in old versions of debian, usually networks would all be up well before the graphical desktop. i don't want to break anything, but i need that to be the case for my setup [02:08] So back to my question then, how to run gksudo from a shell command or desktop shortcut [02:08] i'm assuming that was changed to make a faster bootup [02:08] !startup [02:08] just use the Package Manager [02:08] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [02:09] Hello ppl How do I update this OS ? I just installed Ubuntu Ibex [02:09] All I want is a user should be able to run the app without having to type password [02:09] dmi3on: try this http://www.nomachine.com/ just set the vista machine as server and have it connect out to you every 10-20 minutes or so then you run the client at home and get a nicely compressed remote desktop [02:09] Rohan, synaptic [02:09] ubottu, Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ... [02:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:09] lmfao [02:09] Vista?????? didnt think that word was allowed in here [02:10] tester_: "Why is it an issue? Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't.". Id just run with sudo unless its causing problems [02:10] if it works [02:10] or apt-get if you are hardcorecakes, it does not [02:10] I tried and I got an error [02:10] ohk [02:10] Pardon me but I dont understand how to pick important updates of ubuntu. Do I need to mark them manuly or they will be auto marked ? [02:10] h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work. Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic. [02:10] tester add the app/command to sudoers [02:10] auto [02:11] sparrow I did, NoPASSWORD:ALL [02:11] Rohan_SM: use synaptic [02:11] apt-get isnt hard core, its linux [02:11] h4mx0r, thx how save is it ? [02:11] shiloh, why do that when there is a GUI [02:11] shiloh7: no, its debian package management. linux is the kernel [02:11] lolcakes, Dont run gui apps with sudo, it will come back and bite you eventually [02:11] Yes I have opened it [02:11] alternatively, how can i make a service depend on another one? i'm not that familiar with upstart... [02:11] Sparrow, it already did bite me [02:11] Rohan_SM: now klick on mark updates [02:12] tester_, You dont want to set it like that for all apps.

Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic, but it's too low. I use intrepid on a Asus f3jc laptop, any ideas?? [02:13] Sparrow I do [02:13] Etherael: yes, right click->preferences and give them names [02:13] security is no concern for me [02:13] it is either this, or enabling root account login [02:14] pio_, did you use mic boost in alsa? [02:14] Would backing up a Ubuntu partition with partimage then restoring it later on, work? [02:14] lolcakes, When I right click prefs all I get the option for is "columns and rows" [02:14] h4mx0r, what other application ? [02:14] tester_, You just want all users to be able to install apps? With synaptic [02:14] xMopx, try clonezilla [02:14] if you mean in the workspace switcher at the top [02:14] shiloh7, no [02:14] tester_: Would it work better? Or would partimage not work? [02:14] pio_, there in options, there is a mic boost options, 20db [02:14] Rohan_SM: or try this one http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-update-ubuntu-linux-softwares/ [02:14] Sparrow, i just want them to be able to run my application (which access some restricted files), without requiriung to type password or anything [02:15] i have to use it myself for teamspeak, etc [02:15] xMopX, clonezilla is just easier [02:15] Etherael: yes, right click a workspace->preferences, then "Workspace Switcher Preferences" comes up and under "Workspace Names" you can name them (assuming you're using 8.04 or 8.10, I dunno about other versions) [02:15] I use it a lot [02:15] dmi3on: well I read this nx guide and it mentioned a place.. trying to find it [02:15] Thanks a lot I ll check that [02:15] lolcakes, the task switcher only lets me pick how many columns and rows I want.

But Magic SysRq does not seem to have any effect. [02:29] Rohan_SM: You'd have more luck talking to the wine people in #winehq, and also check out their app DB [02:30] Flannel, that is not a good idea, to use Sudo where gksude shoudl be used, Sparrow can make his minion convey this to you [02:30] so whats the beep media player package called in ubuntu? [02:30] hey tester_ was fedora able to use the two gpu in vaio z? [02:30] !gksudo [02:30] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:30] tester_: You just said "a script" you didn't mention anything about what said script is doing. [02:30] i only see one labled experimental [02:30] bmpx - Beep Media Player eXperimental [02:30] Wicked: search for "beep media" in synaptic [02:30] I know GIMP its good but I paid for my Copy of Photoshop and its support etc. :D [02:30] tester_, He knows the difference [02:30] andrew_: did that new profile work? [02:30] mystic, I did not check, it came up fine, and all my porn plays aokay [02:31] so that part i can confirm, video okay, audio okay [02:31] Rohan_SM: then run it on windows? I doubt theyll support it running on wine [02:31] isnt there just an easy way to mount the hard drive as is and read the files off it? [02:31] porn, geez [02:31] lol [02:31] lolcakes, not seeing it [02:31] lolcakes: When helping, please be helpful.

I am on windows and im looking to go to ubuntu but i just spent fifty dollars on a new graphics card for the TV out and dual screen support and would like not to loose it [02:31] too much info tester_ [02:31] shiloh7, noo [02:31] Rohan_SM: If wine won't run it, you can always run windows in a VM (seamlessly) to use those programs. [02:31] can anyone help me? why does gpaint dont have an undo option? [02:31] shiloh7, microhone boost not present, it's a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220787 [02:32] the card is an EVGA E-GeForce 7200 GS [02:32] nono not on the network, like i just reformatted my windows PC and put ubuntu on it, and i had another 320gb hd that i put all my files on, its my other hard drive [02:32] anyone know if thinkfinger will work on ubuntu vaio z? [02:32] shiloh7, any other way to boost the mic?? [02:32] pio_, what version ubuntu are you using? [02:32] DVA5912: the closed source nvidia drivers have an excellent settings manager that can do all that for you [02:32] I think if you run the - restricted drivers - for your video card -- Nvidia supports Dual Monitors (unsure of Ati) [02:32] i jsut plugged it in, and ubuntu wont let me read the files [02:32] DVA5912: I am using dual monitors under Ubuntu right now. [02:32] shiloh7, inprepid, [02:32] mysticdarkhack: You'll have to check the thinkfinger documentation (and your fingerprint reader model/etc) to see if its supported. [02:32] also have the bug [02:32] pio_, 8.10? [02:32] thank you so much for ur help, my firefox is back [02:32] http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184&nav=menu1362_2 apparently your os is causing quite a bit of grief for this wisconsin woman. i hope you respond accordingly [02:32] DVA5912: nvidia support is very good in ubuntu so it should work [02:32] she's sulking in #gentoo.et, i'll be leaving [02:33] lolcakes: closed source? As in from the manufacturer [02:33] DVA5912: You may have to edit your xorg.conf file manually, though. [02:33] DVA5912: yes, from their website, or "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" [02:33] Reilithion: How does it looks [02:33] shiloh7, yes, 8.10 [02:33] pio_, im using 8.04 LTS< good to know about that bug in 8.10 [02:34] shiloh7, it appear in this version too [02:34] I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files [02:34] Flannel, you know another alternative finger reader for ubuntu? [02:34] Cool thanks lolcakes and Reilithion. Now should my internet be faster under ubuntu? its going crazy in windows [02:34] DVA5912: It looks very nice. I did have some trouble setting it up initially, and I still cannot move windows from one screen to the other (due to the way I've set it up. This should become possible once RandR 1.4 is released). [02:34] I am doing this to automate some taks I do for clonezilla [02:34] pio_, i dont have any other suggestions [02:34] Too bad windows is nothing in comparison of this. I mean its really fast. I tried this at my friend some blue desktop and black skin etc. and its working very nicely as per him. So I thought of giving it a try. Indeed it switch windows programs etc. at incredible speed. [02:34] DVA5912: that almost entirely depends on the speed of your connection, not the OS. try it and see [02:34] hey, does anyone have any issues with playing .avi files in VLC player? I have the w32 codecs [02:35] mysticdarkhack: Is it not supported? As far as I know, thinkfinger is the defacto fingerprint software. And it isn't just for thinkpads. You really should check to see if yours is supported. [02:35] So any reason why Brasero bums out but Gnomebake works without issue>? 8.04 and Brasero 0.7.1 or 0.8.4 [02:35] are there any other channels where i can get some help? [02:35] is anyone could run photoshop under wine [02:35] Cool looks promising. Now i can install this first into windows to test right? [02:35] TheFunkbomb: VLC has its own codecs, the w32 codecs are for mplayer [02:35] wcdl: cs2 worked just fine for me [02:35] lolcakes, okay, do you have any idea why they won't play in VLC? [02:35] Flannel, I haven't read it yet but just wanted to know in case if it doesn't [02:35] usser: normal install? [02:35] TheFunkbomb: theres probably 32767 reasons, what error is it giving you? [02:36] TheFunkbomb, do they play in SM player? [02:36] wcdl: yea on latest wine you dont need to do anything special [02:36] and about cs3? [02:36] tester_: Whats wrong with just calling that script with sudo? If the only thing the script does is modify files, `sudo script` should work just fine, without any security issues. Also, sudo will work fine for that usage as well. [02:36] wcdl: cs3 is not supported [02:36] thanks [02:36] lolcakes, no error. just no movement. [02:36] wich wine ? [02:36] shiloh7, yes, they play in Firefox and the default movie player [02:36] TheFunkbomb: is it just for avi, or for all video? [02:36] tester_: Also, you really shouldn't remove the password for all of your programs. You can, however, remove the password requirement for that particular script rather easily. [02:36] wcdl, Check the appdb.. kinda lame or ask in Wine hw or see the virtual solutions available [02:36] wcdl: 1.1.12 is the latest i believe [02:36] Flannel, I am hoping to create a shortcut on desktop, or put a script on the desktop, when someone clicks on it, want it to run [02:36] winehq [02:36] is there a reason that ubuntu attempts to run (windows) autorun stuff? [02:36] wcdl: try asking it in #winehq [02:36] shiloh7, :(, thanks [02:36] lolcakes, wmvs play fine [02:36] is there a daily and or weekly build for Ubuntu (like Debian for instance)? [02:37] DVA5912: I would suggest running from the LiveCD. It will allow you to test Ubuntu a bit without having to modify anything on your hard drive. [02:37] lolcakes, I haven't tried mpgs [02:37] THough 1.1.13 should be out this friday [02:37] TheFunkbomb, i had some issues with VLC this last go around to, i just got rid of it and am using SM player, i like it better [02:37] tester_: That's fine. You can make the shortcut include the sudo stuff very easily. [02:37] TheFunkbomb: not sure whats going on then, aside form making sure you're using the latest VLC, you could try smplayer. its less broken [02:37] if they keep the current release schedule (it has been about 2 weeks ) [02:37] jp_sf, Ubuntu goes by 6 monthly builds [02:37] jp_sf, no roilling releases except for jaunty which is not ready [02:37] Flannel, you are god that is all I want man [02:37] wine is generally on a 2 week release schedule [02:37] shiloh7, lolcakes, thanks [02:38] lolcakes: this doesnt look prommising: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/evga-e-geforce-7200-gs-wont-work-with-the-nvidia-drivers-567849/ [02:38] lolcakes, yeah i love sm player :) [02:38] right now my script is just this gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite [02:38] well I'm off now yall, [02:38] thanks for the help [02:38] I'll check out sm player. is it in the stock repositories? [02:38] When ubuntu freezes from a program is there a ctrl-alt-delete type method of terminating the program/ [02:38] Jack_Sparrow: Ah ok I'm going to an installfest and I was wondering if I could have a weekly-build something instead of updating after the install [02:38] ok anyone have an idea what could cause this message "network cable unplugged" with windows xp, i am now connected with same computer on dual boot with ubuntu ? === sektor is now known as sektor1952 [02:38] wcdl: actually it appears that cs3 is also supported http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 my apologies [02:39] jp_sf, Stick with ibex and copy /var/cache/apt/archives after you do the updates on the first or see aptoncd [02:39] !aptoncd [02:39] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [02:39] whacked, r u kidding me, it means exactly what the message says [02:39] cs_student: yeah, if that doesn't do it, alt-sysrq-k should take out everything on tty7 [02:39] ok so the answer is ? [02:39] !attitude > tester_ [02:39] f'in cab;le is unplugged [02:39] tester_, please see my private message [02:39] has anyone had any issues recompiling the latest kernel? [02:39] DVA5912: I see. Your card may yet work with an open-source driver.

[02:39] Jack_Sparrow: Ah great yes exactly what I'm looking for [02:39] !kernel > sektor1952 [02:39] sektor1952, please see my private message [02:39] cs_student: you might have a few remnant programs still running, best to check the process list [02:40] i am talking to you know using the same cable nic modem and router right now [02:40] jp_sf, all of your updates are in that folder or go the apt on cd route [02:40] Reilithion: the open source nvidia drievr is really bad, no 3d acceleration at all or xvideo [02:40] whacked: is the clip on the network cable firmly attached on both ends? [02:40] hi folks. anyone know off hand what the max file size is for ext3? I've read 2^32 but i'm trying to verify this. [02:40] Jack_sparrow: I know how to compile the kernel, but I am getting an error [02:40] I am sorry [02:41] that I can't seem to clear [02:41] right now my script is just this gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite [02:41] yes [02:41] usser: i was asking to see if anyone has it already installed [02:41] lolcakes: Yeah, I know. It's really too bad. [02:41] so how do make a shortcut [02:41] Jack_Sparrow: yes will do that thx [02:41] but thanks anyway [02:41] I been using ubuntu for 2 weeks now on same cablee nic router modem [02:41] Cant hurt to try..... If i could only get to the downloads page its notr loading at all [02:41] I think maybe the avi issue was with the movie. I just loaded up a movie I know that works and it goes fine [02:41] tester_: add this as the first line: #!/bin/sh [02:41] Reilithion: Its making me look at ATI cards as my next graphics card, its great how amd are releasing specifications [02:41] sektor1952, We dont support peoples efforts to compile their own kernel... It works for all of the regulars that know how to do it [02:41] i will try to install it now [02:42] hexidigital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [02:42] whacked: did this problem just start occurring today? [02:42] lolcakes: I am using a Radeon X850. It's not too bad. It has some 3d accel, but lacks many features. I couldn't run Planeshift, for instance, because multitexture support sucked. [02:42] it happen after installing ubuntu 8.10 [02:42] jtaji: i mostly ignore wiki links when looking for information, but i'll have a look. [02:42] thanks [02:42] Reilithion: yes, but due to specifications being available, it will get better a lot quicker than nouveau [02:42] i been running xp and ubuntu 7.10 for 18 months [02:43] hi guys, I got a audio issue on jaunty. Am I in the right channel? [02:43] I need to find a site where I can download a practice .mpg movie [02:43] Gnea I still get the password prompt [02:43] i just formatted the linux partition [02:43] lolcakes: R500-R700 chips may get a lot better, but the X850 uses an R420 chip, which AMD has not made any promises about. [02:43] tester_: of course, you're using gksudo [02:43] hey how can i change permissions for my seagate external hard drive? [02:43] I have modified the sudoer file so that no password is asked [02:43] are there any write drivers for mdb files? [02:43] Gnea, but from command line it works okay [02:43] no password is asked there [02:43] tigerz: go to #ubuntu+1 [02:44] whacked: yes it happens [02:44] thx [02:44] is the encrypt home directory function important !? [02:44] whacked: are you using a different system to irc with? [02:44] good evenin' everyone [02:44] no [02:44] I am on same computer [02:44] ... [02:44] had a dual boot for 18 monthas [02:44] and never a problem [02:45] whacked: if you're connected now, then what exactly is the problem? [02:45] formatted my linux partition for a clean install of 8.10 [02:45] no longer can connect on my windows though [02:45] oh [02:45] firefox is leaking too much memory how can i fix that, anyone??/? [02:45] whacked: #windows can help you with that then [02:45] DVA5912: In summary, good support for your graphics card is not likely going to be easy to come by. If you want hardware 3D accel under linux, either go beg nVidia to make better linux drivers or get a different graphics card -- preferably one based on one of the ATI R5xx-R7xx chips. [02:46] whacked: It looks like a driver problem in XP I have seen this problem with broadcom, I would suspect first the Bios, then I would suspect the eth0 not being properly shutdown, in any case if a bios solution doesn't solve it then reinstall the driver in XP [02:46] So gksudo I have to do something else then [02:46] since it is a gui based app I need to use gksudo [02:46] and also the flash videos are too much slow ubuntu 8.10 flash 10 [02:46] Hey I have a problem playing Mp3's [02:46] can someone help me [02:46] yes i think the nic is suspended somehow [02:46] wcdl, I use that and it works fine [02:47] !mp3 | supCHOCO [02:47] supCHOCO: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:47] i have reinstalled driver [02:47] have original cd [02:47] whacked: the latest one from the vendor ?

[02:54] aedwards: define 'having trouble' [02:55] So, if I have SMPlayer, do I need Mplayer or VLC at all? [02:55] tester_: Don't use gksu, use sudo. We already covered this. [02:55] tester_: you keep saying that over and over, as if it's supposed to mean something... just state your problem in human-readable-format, please. [02:55] !gksdu [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about gksdu [02:55] TheFunkbomb: SMPlayer uses mplayer afaik, and you wont need vlc [02:55] okay [02:55] thanks lolcakes [02:55] I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files [02:55] i didnt undesrtud wwwwwwhat you said [02:55] !gksudo [02:55] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:55] and flannl, my fail with sudo [02:55] ReloaD: oh. open a terminal and type this: id do you see the word 'video' there anywhere? [02:56] tester_: What? [02:56] fla, just running my app with sudo fails [02:56] can i have someone at work save a mdb file in a certian format so i can edit it in openoffice? [02:56] noop Gnea [02:56] it is c#, gtk# [02:57] tester_: Why are you using c# and gtk to change a few files? [02:57] user01: openoffice base cant open it> [02:57] *? [02:57] lolcakes, it isnt opening it right now [02:57] ReloaD: okay, then you need to change that: System->Administration->Users and Groups and add yourself to the Video group (you'll need to logout/login once you've done that for the change to take effect) you should be able to use your tv card then [02:57] Flanl, its is a big app, part of it is access some restricted files(dhcp conf and interfaces) [02:57] user01: try to export the file as a CSV [02:57] user01: right. sorry, I have not played with oo.o base at all so I have no idea. [02:58] all I need to be able to do is use gksudo from a shell script/shortkut on my desktop [02:58] thak you very much Gnea [02:58] if that happens I would be so happy [02:58] ReloaD: you're welcome [02:59] /j #gnome [02:59] anyone know if the jaunty alpha2 supports mobo chipsets based on intel x58 ?

[03:00] i thought it might be becuz of my pc but it works on 8.04 [03:00] aedwards: do lsusb to see what usb devices are connected then do sudo lshw to see if any devices don't have drivers [03:01] Ok. Magic SysRq. I really would like to get it working. [03:01] aedwards: it might have something to do with udev permissions because of power issues depending upon which version of ubuntu you are using [03:01] Looking for help with Mounting a NTFS Hard drive [03:01] aedwards: or it might be faulty /etc/fstab having other things listed for cd/usb device in question [03:01] well i had to turn ACPI off in BIOS just to get 8.10 to work on my pc...but i didnt on 8.04... [03:01] Reilithion: press ctrl-alt-F1, then alt-sysrq-h [03:01] !ntfs [03:01] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [03:02] Hello can anyone tell me of an alternative to gimp or gpaint? [03:02] !ntfs | vanax [03:02] vanax: please see above [03:02] aedwards: 8.04 has long term support if you want to stick with that. 8.10 is just some stable testing for the next long term release [03:02] Gnea: I presume you want me to switch to the first virtual console. That has not worked for me since I configured X to use both of my video cards. [03:02] !sysrq | Reilithion [03:02] Reilithion: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:02] so it would be better to run 8.04 for now? [03:03] Yes. I am aware of what it is. I have tried this combination. It does not appear to do anything. [03:03] B didn't do anything? [03:03] That's right. [03:03] lolcakes: I have removed the symlink S35Networking from /etc/rc0.d and my eth0 stays on after the shutdown [03:03] I'm having issues with init.d [03:03] and you're on an officially built ubuntu kernel? [03:03] y would i have to turn off ACPi on 8.10 but not on 8.04? [03:03] Gnea: Yes, I am. [03:04] Can I make my resolution larger than the choices given in 'Screen Resolution'? Is this determined by monitor, video card, other? [03:04] if I log in as root and run teamspeak-server it launches fine, however if it runs as part of init.d it craps out with: Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.Unable to Load /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 [03:04] lolcakes: I guess the guy left but would have been one solution for him while restarting it's window$ [03:04] Reilithion: I think he is pulling your chain how about you try ctrl alt backspace to reset the graphical display or do ctrl alt f2 for a terminal you can login and do sudo shutdown -h 0 [03:04] although /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 exists and is chmodded 777 [03:04] any ideas what's going wrong? [03:05] CaptObvious: what user owns that file? do chown [03:05] root root [03:05] don't init.d tasks run as root? [03:05] Reilithion: i'm having a very difficult time believing that... [03:05] h4mx0r: Ctrl-Alt-backspace does sometimes work. If my system gets too frozen up, though, it will not. Also, switching to virtual consoles no longer works for me, as I have mentioned. [03:05] CaptObvious: well your sol I got no clue. What you trying to do again? [03:05] ? [03:05] launch a teamspeak server instance [03:06] works fine if I run it manually with /usr/bin/teamspeak-server as root [03:06] Gnea: I can understand your skepticism. If you throw commands at me, I will gladly reproduce their output for you. [03:07] I ve just installed vsftpd on 8.04. I want to know if there is any way to limit the size of the FTP users' folders. thanx in advance [03:07] Reilithion: ohh I had a similar issue it was an irq problem do to this wireless driver, when it boots try going into grub and pressing e so it lets you edit the statements then at end of kernel line where it says quiet splash put irq=poll or noirq something like that or maybe its noapic are you using an amd cpu? [03:07] Reilithion: okay, open a terminal and run this: tail -f /var/log/syslog [03:07] Reilithion: then: alt-sysrq-h [03:07] Reilithion: enter dmesg when it boots and check the old error messages to find what is the problem and fix it by blacklisting or reinstalling things [03:07] Reilithion: does it just beep at you or did something happen? [03:08] Gnea: Nothing happens. My terminal drops its Help menu. [03:08] Reilithion: like this? SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot [03:08] Even desktop launcher does not works [03:08] Reilithion: have you just installed this system or updated recently? [03:09] tester_: dude what command are you trying to run in a desktop icon [03:09] Gnea: tail does not print any such line. [03:09] h4mx0r: I updated this system from 8.04 back in early November, I believe. [03:10] I have never before tried Magic SysRq, so I don't know if it ever worked for me.. [03:10] Reilithion: okay, it shouldn't do the help menu if you pressed the SysReq/PrintScreen key along with the left-alt key... [03:10] Left alt? I'll try that. [03:10] Reilithion: making sure that you press the left-alt key *first* === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura [03:11] i can't delete a file -- from sudo rm -f foo.mp3, i get rm: cannot remove `foo.mp3': Read-only file system [03:11] can't sudo chmod [03:11] can anyone tell me how to change permissions for a seagate external hard drive? [03:11] Howdy :) [03:11] in nautilus i can't move to trash [03:12] Reilithion: then what are your problems exactly? I mean you've been using it for a while now [03:12] bonhoffer: You need to remount to volume with rw permissions [03:12] Gnea: I held left-alt, PrintScreen, and pressed H. It brought up 4 "Save Screenshot" windows. Which is weird, because I intentionally changed the "Save Screenshot" key combination to Ctrl-Printscreen. [03:12] Reilithion: I see.... [03:12] bonhoffer: do sudo su and delete it as root with the force option -f [03:12] bonhoffer: I'm assuming it's some sort of detachable media? [03:12] bonhoffer: yeah its setup read only atm [03:13] yes -- sansa media player [03:13] Reilithion: if you reboot the system with only one monitor attached, can you drop to console then? [03:13] h4mx0r, i tried the su and delete as root [03:13] Gnea: I am not sure. I'm pretty certain, however, that I could drop to a console if I edit xorg.conf and remove reference to one of my video cards. [03:14] BellinXfelon: format it.. use gparted [03:14] How do I make Ubuntu always force-mount NTFS media that is inserted into the machine? [03:14] BellinXfelon: well gparted can change most stuff without formatting.. just be sure to backup incase you accidentally mess something up [03:14] Reilithion: better to just reboot and see what happens without modification of xorg.conf - could be a symptom of a bigger problem [03:15] Wintervenom: I dont think you can, I saw it was a feature in 9.04 [03:15] Allright, dualboot, ASUS M2N32-SLi mb, haven't dug up the bios v. yet. Won't fire up 8.04 without Kernel Panic due to missing APIC, I turn off Adv. ACPI - APIC services in the BIOS and it boots smooth, but then windows won't boot. Any answers? [03:15] I'll do that then. bbiab. [03:15] ok [03:16] h4mxr, I have created a GUI app, which lets a user add/modify/update clonezilla machines from the GUI, and it modifies some restricted files [03:16] AndyIB: turn apic back on and use the kernel option noapic in grub? [03:16] h4mx0r, I do tht and the system freezes after about 20 min. === inx-live is now known as mdg [03:16] AndyIB: /boot/grub/menu.lst change the kernel line to have noapic [03:17] I wonder how windows does it, you never need to play around with acpi and apic when booting that [03:17] AndyIB: are you sure it is related? [03:17] lolcakes: it automatically has it off in windows I think [03:17] I've tested it about 2 times with the noapic in the bootline and it froze every time. [03:17] having trouble booting the new distro? [03:17] anybody know a cli tool that will strip an html file of all html tags and leave only the text? I am using espeak with wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random but it reads the html tags... any ideas? [03:18] 3* [03:18] so i want my resolution larger, run 'sudo lspci -vvnn' but i don't know how, what or if i can configure it to be more than 800x600 [03:18] yuri_: Perhaps use w3m with the -dump option [03:18] yuri_: sed with a regex probably, dont ask me how though :P [03:18] anyone having crc errors with the new distro? [03:18] thanks guys will mess around [03:19] h4mx0r, It's not a major problem, but it's still annoying to have to enter bios every time I want to swap os [03:19] !info html2text [03:19] html2text (source: html2text): advanced HTML to text converter.

I had a problem, I was trying to use Livestation and Firefox simultaneously, but whichever one starts first, hogs the audio output [03:27] now I can't hear a thing [03:27] zetheroo: you could delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring , then you'll be prompted for the password again next time [03:27] AceBlade2581, x64? you mean x86-64-bit? === DarkSmoke is now known as DS-Sleepin [03:27] Ace, more memory for your OS and programs [03:27] !away > DS-Sleepin [03:27] DS-Sleepin, please see my private message [03:27] jtaji: would I be able to setup a new password?

[03:29] zetheroo: no that has nothing to do with GPG [03:29] AceBlade2581, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 Well, if your computer is a 64 bit machine then you should use the 64 bit install. If you're looking for a new computer, 64 bit is the way to go, they're faster and can hold more memory [03:29] zetheroo: they're in ~/.gnupg [03:29] ahhh [03:29] \ok [03:29] is there any way to reinstall the default packages [03:29] without knowing what they are [03:30] hajmola, ooohh... umm, I just saw that a while ago and was thinking of doing it myself... lemme see if I can't find the link [03:30] kdubya: no [03:30] i broke this laptop i got from dell [03:30] damn [03:30] i'm running an old AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 [03:30] hendrixski: thanks [03:30] kdubya: reinstall is the only way, backup your stuff first [03:30] only 2 gig's, i'm just curious if anyone knows if it's worth it?

I need to know how to add a factoid to the database [03:53] Joker_-_, find one and move it over using a usb drive [03:54] anyone?

[04:07] any clues on what to search in google to find it? [04:07] Hi, I'm on a brand new laptop and the load-cycle count is already up to 140, should I be worried? (just unboxed 5 hrs ago) [04:07] Sir_Sid: just does the same thing [04:07] ic hmm [04:08] Sir_Sid: but I tryed to manuelly configure eth0 and it worked so now I've got internet... [04:08] have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:08] timedroid, any clue of what to search on google? [04:08] Joker_-_, excellent, what video card do you have? [04:08] Sir_Sid: I ran dhclient and installed sshd [04:08] lfaraone: Google it. There was an infamous bug with the harddisk power management [04:08] Sir_Sid: Imma work on that from work tomorrow.. my gf is going crazy I gotta go ;) [04:08] Joker_-_, alright, goodluck [04:08] Sir_Sid: I promised her I wouldnt work all night long ;) [04:09] nice hah [04:09] Sir_Sid: thx for the help, for the records, it's a geforce 8800 512mb [04:09] johnofthedead24, I think I have it on my Windows partition yet, just need to mount it and check [04:09] Epamek: what is your goal? [04:09] alright well install the nv drivers and see what happens [04:09] Sir_Sid: will do, thanks again, cya! [04:09] goodluck [04:10] *pop* [04:10] timedroid. so if i'm understanding you correctly, just mount the ISO to the thumbdrive in the same way I would burn it to a cd and then check the md5sum? [04:10] At this point, it's just to get an OS running again, but I don't see how I can get that to happen with ubuntu failing to boot, no mac OS, and a boot disk stuck in my disk drive. [04:10] WebcamWonder: I did. I'm on intrepid, and I've been plugged in the whole time to power. [04:10] Epamek, you can't boot from the boot disk? [04:10] Epamek: just a matter of re-installing grub id think. you can boot livecd? [04:11] johnofthedead24, I think you need somethiing else [04:11] Epamek: I never installed ubuntu by itself on my macbook, but afaik grub is supposed to be able to boot. Do you get a grub menu? [04:11] the livecd is stuck in the computer and won't eject. And, I'm not getting a grub menu.

[04:12] johnofthedead24, can wubi do that? or boot from the livecd and do it? [04:12] I did to dual boot my imac but forgot to make the necessary changes for my macbook.

[04:13] oh, i thought you said the disk was stuck in the drive [04:13] Epamek: It has no eject button? If its like my mac pro, hold the mouse buttons down while booting, that'll eject it [04:13] nightrid3r thank you SO much. thanks to timedroid and hammerjak as well for all your help [04:13] Epamek: you can't boot from the livecd by pressing 'c' while it is booting? [04:13] lol, got people mixed up, nm :) === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [04:13] Epamek: on PCs there is always a small hole in the door you can insert a paperclip or similar item to force eject [04:13] !who | Epamek [04:13] Epamek: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I'll try the c boot and the paperclip if that doesnt work. [04:13] pepperjack: Not on macs. [04:13] what is a good wap network testing tool? [04:14] pepperjack: I have a mac pro, no paper clip heh. [04:14] WebcamWonder: Thanks [04:14] Epamek: don't stick a paper clip in your macbook [04:14] epamek- if you hold down option on boot you'll get a silly screen which asks you what you want to boot, hit eject and you'll get the cd [04:14] Quick question, does checkinstall actually calls make? [04:14] Quick question, does anyone knows if checkinstall actually calls make? [04:15] pepperjack: my xorg.conf doesnt have an entry for my video card. I think it's broken, because I can remember a bunch of devices in the file and now there are only 3 entries [04:15] MMouse: I've tried that a few times and not only do I not get an image of the disk like i normally would, the disc doesnt eject... [04:15] Gerinych, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?

[04:16] jtaji: that file "default.keyring" does not exist on my system === rachel is now known as Guest93273 [04:17] Argh, i hate all the stupid little holes in linux heh, its so great, but it has a lot of little pockets of rough spots. [04:17] Gerinych: it doesnt really need a new entry the only thing you really want to check typically is the busid and then driver. so you presumably have a Section Device and under that a Identifier Card0 or whatever and then a Driver "nv" or whatnot then busid. [04:17] I have an issue with atheros based wireless. I ran sudo lshw -c network and it recognizes my atheros controller but with iwconfig and ifconfig it isn't there. This is a fresh install of xubuntu from the alternate cd on a acer aspire one netbook. I don't have wired internet at this time. [04:17] Hello! Is this the right place to ask for guidance on setting up lvm on ubuntu 8.10 server? [04:18] ari_stress, sudo update-alternatives --config editor should fix that [04:18] Are you guys sure, it is ./configure && sudo checkinstall. Or is it ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall? [04:18] nickrud: many thanks dude. i'll try that [04:18] NoisyDude: yes [04:18] pepperjack, oh, well, ill fix the file and check the busid [04:18] fyrmedic: is there an entry for the aspire one in the hardware section of the wiki? most people record problems there [04:19] how do I make a new password for my keyring? [04:19] could I perhaps try putting an ubuntu startup thingy on a flash drive and starting with that from the option screen? [04:19] I recently setup bubuntu 8.10 server on a system with 3 drives, all 200G. I used one to load linux and I want to setup lvm with raid1 on the other two. but I am getting an error... [04:20] zetheroo: i unistalled seahorse and disabled gnome-keyring manager, fixed that nag of a problem and i still use gpg under cli no probs no more. [04:20] Anything I do gets me "Can't open /dev/sdc exclusively - not removing. Mounted filesystem?" [04:20] drives are not mounted [04:20] pepperjack: I don't know I will check it, though I haven't had a lot of luck with the forums and such today. [04:20] gnutron: ok ... thanks ... I still need seahorse though so I have to find another solution [04:20] NoisyDude, is your /etc/fstab correct? [04:21] your drives might've gotten remapped to a different device id (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb) [04:21] hammerjak, im in process of reconfiguring the thing, but im stuck at the screen where it says "For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must be entered. Available models depend on which XKB rule set is in use." and it just goes on. it says at the bottom but i can't highlight it or click it [04:21] Haha I got it out! Thanks a lot guys. [04:21] it seems so... no reference to either sdb or sdc [04:21] Gerinych, hit 'tab'? [04:22] hammerjak, oh, wow i feel stupid, thanks [04:22] :) [04:22] i love the easy problems [04:22] * nickrud lives for low hanging fruit [04:22] one thing that may be related... I had ubuntu 8.10 desktop on this system and I was able to have lvm running. Now that reloaded 8.10 server and killed partitions using fdisk I cannot use them. [04:23] Question: Anyone with sound juicer mind giving me the gstreamer line in the default mp3 profile? [04:25] pepperjack: i fixed xorg.conf, but i can't see any busids at all. Here's what's in my xorg.conf right now: http://pastebin.com/m91a96b5 [04:26] Hammerjak: the only references in fstab are for sda (my linux drive) and a couple CD/DVD units. that's it. [04:26] NoisyDude, well... that probably tells you why it can't mount /dev/sdc [04:27] Gerinych: sorry im cli only at the moment === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [04:27] Don't I have to "pvcreate" etc the device prior to mounting them?

[04:45] albuntu, you can try 'ln -s /usr/bin/firefox ~/Desktop' [04:45] albuntu: the command you are looking is updatedb ? [04:45] and it will put a symlink on your desktop [04:45] though i've never tried that [04:45] Hammerjak: thank you. i'll try that and tell you back the results [04:45] Hammerjak: and sudo chmod u+x /usr/bin/firefox ~/Desktop [04:46] Hammerjak: and sudo updatedb [04:46] it's the first time i have ever used this computer, my husband left me with little instruction on how to use it [04:46] jp_sf, i didn't realize you could chmod a symlink.... [04:46] jp_sf: i have to do updatedb after that ? [04:46] what's the purpose of chmoding the link? [04:47] Hammerjak: hum ... well I mean chmod -H ... [04:47] AbtZ: Futility, since it doesn't work [04:47] girlbuntu: okay then, well we can help you, but you need to, please, be patient. we have been trying to help you, but everytime someone tries to, the only thing i see you doing is freaking out with all of the punctuation. that doesn't solve problems, it only creates more problems. do you understand? [04:47] ubuntu (debian) does not use updatedb [04:47] true a chmod will do anything .... unless you do a -H [04:47] how can i check for dangling symlinks on ubuntu?

[05:04] AbtZ: well sometimes you may want to change the permission on a symlink that comes as lrwxrwxrwx you can do that using -H [05:04] Gnea: I am doing that now. I just explained to him what happened. [05:04] anyone in here use the mic in stickam.com? anyone use firefox 3.0.5 and flash is working well?

[05:05] ok thanks a lot [05:06] albuntu, what window manager or DE are you using? [05:07] hey AbtZ ? do you use firefox 3.0.5?

[05:09] AbtZ: it works but it doesnt open when i double click it. it says that its an executable file and give me the 4 options [05:09] i do execute and it opens firefox but i want more an .desktop file than a symlink [05:10] Question: recursive scan in clamTK antivirus: serves to scan everything in a directory? directory scan just gets individual files within directories [05:10] btw, jp_sf, the -H option is for chown, not chmod [05:10] i have an intel ich9 sound card which is not listed under alsa's supported soundcards, is there another driver i can get?

[05:11] albuntu, this is not my area of expertise, but try finding the firefox .desktop file on your computer and just copying it to your desktop [05:12] AbtZ: I haven't used XFCE for ages but can't you make a shortcut for FF off the menu and put it on a panel? [05:12] relaxabit, stickam? no idea what that is. opera works for browsing :) [05:12] AbtZ, does flash work? [05:12] relaxabit, yes [05:12] how did you get it working AbtZ ? [05:13] gnutron, maybe, i dont know, i dont need it -- i use gnome-do for almost everything [05:13] I m having very annoying xperiance with firefox in ubuntu. It keeps saying "your browser has been updated and needs to be restrated" but in fact I havent any update. I restarted firefox as well as ubuntu more than twice but It just keeps poping up below address-bar. Closing, Restart, Reboot nothing is helping. What should I do ? [05:13] AbtZ: Ok. [05:13] relaxabit, i installed opera :) it was working out of the box for me [05:13] not for me man? [05:13] Rohan_SM, try deleting your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory [05:14] Light-, wont that remove his bookmars too? [05:14] Abtz: probably [05:14] Rohan_SM, back up your bookmarks first [05:14] :) [05:15] I m sorry but its beyond my understanding to locate something installed in Linux :\ [05:15] relaxabit, dunno, maybe you dont have the flash package installed. google on how to best install it in ubuntu [05:15] Rohan_SM, ~ is your hole directory (Places->Home). Then press CTRL+H and you will see .mozilla. go into that and delete the firefox directory [05:15] home* [05:15] i inserted a USB stick into my computer which holds a 2GB micro SD card, linux shows USB DISK under Places but doesn't seem to open it up? [05:16] relaxabit, it should actually ask you, as soon as you enter a web page using flash, if you want to install it or not. [05:16] AbtZ, why no tell me how you installed it? [05:16] no it does not [05:16] relaxabit, 'cause i dont remember :) [05:17] i have an intel ich9 sound card which is not listed under alsa's supported soundcards, is there another driver i can get? [05:17] Rohan_SM: are you looking for a file or program? [05:17] rgreer: you could try oss4, although dont ask me how to use it and dont ask for support [05:17] relaxabit, here, check this out: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [05:18] can install it with sudo apt-get install oss4 [05:18] if theres a package available, which I doubt [05:19] yeah couldnt find it [05:19] theres a soft drumming thats played quietly, but i can't play any sounds [05:19] like cd's or anything [05:20] you could buy a cheap PCI card for like $15 [05:20] its on my laptop [05:20] oh [05:20] ive got vista paritioned on here as well and it works find on that [05:20] i just hate vista [05:21] so do most of the people who've had to use it I think [05:21] rgreer, why? its at least more secure than XP :) [05:21] AbtZ, why, because it has User Account Control? :P [05:21] it's just obnoxious [05:21] isnt very resource-friendly [05:22] Vista wasn't too bad, for me, but the first thing I did with it was shut off the User Account Control. [05:22] I turned it off and BSod within 10 minutes [05:22] I have a laptop I use for work that has it on there. [05:22] UAC is a way of trying to emulate the sudo/root-password window in linux. unfortunately for MS, due to the inherent design flaws in the core of the OS itself, UAC sucks ass in comparison [05:22] it's more or less the only way to do it, though [05:23] I completely agree, AbtZ . [05:23] aye, agreed [05:23] * nickrud looks around, wondering how he wandered into ##windows [05:23] Hello again I tried deleting mozilla folder but it just keeps poping when I next launch firefox. "your browser has been updated..." [05:24] Rohan_SM, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox? [05:24] nickrud, well, we should be allowed to trashtalk the OS for a little while, no? :) [05:24] can you have oss4 and alsa installed? [05:24] rgreer, yep, you have to tell apps to use oss though [05:24] zzzzz === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [05:25] It's not possible to send notification messages via terminal? :( [05:25] rgreer, and oss4 has alsa emulation anyway (dunno how good it is though) [05:25] jinja-sheep: write, wall [05:25] wheres a good website to get it off of?

[05:26] rgreer: http://www.opensound.com/ [05:26] Gnea: Oh alright. Will look at the manual. Thanks. [05:26] AbtZ: sounds fine here [05:26] hey,everyone,this is my audio device infomation :00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02), and ICH9 is not in the soundcard list for intel. is there any channel to my sound problem? [05:27] rgreer: you're probably better off downloading and compiling the source (click "Developers") unless you want to go along with their licensing crap [05:27] Gnea, it is still a mess. google around and read about PA, ALSA, OSS etc [05:28] AbtZ: the only thing that's ever a mess is the implementation. most distributions don't have that problem. [05:28] the only thing wrong with sound in linux is you need a doctorate to understand and configure it ;( [05:28] Gnea, i havent every had much problems with linux, but the big ones that i have had, have all been sound-related [05:28] lol [05:28] Light, thanks for the tip to Rohan earlier on the home/ctrl+h thing, it enabled me to find my Thunderbird install location and import my email files from my old Thunderbird(WinXP) install, been trying to figure that one out the last couple days. [05:29] Steelflint, no problem :) [05:29] if im using ubuntu 8.1, how do i find out what version of linux im using? [05:29] AbtZ: i've had so many problems with linux over the years that i don't even look at something like the sound driver itself as a problem anymore [05:29] used to be easy, but very inflexible; now it's very flexible but not very easy. I expect the easy to come back soon [05:29] irc.qukenet.org [05:29] rgreer: uname -a [05:29] i remember all the shit i had to go through to get my 5.1 surround sound working properly for my AC97 sound card.. bleh [05:30] AbtZ, please think disney g rated language in #ubuntu, policy etc [05:30] AbtZ: language, please [05:30] AbtZ: 5.1 is easy or difficult, depending, again, on the implementation... also, please do watch your language around here [05:30] lol [05:30] pile on AbtZ !! :) [05:31] sowy, guess im a big potty mouth :P [05:31] i am trying to compile a custom kernel module on a ps3 running ubuntu but the symlinks inside /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp [05:31] are broken [05:31] and i have a bunch of launchpad entries going back to november about it [05:31] s/have/saw/ [05:31] and its still not fixed for this arch [05:31] and symlinking to the ports dir does not work either as suggested [05:32] What is Qt? [05:32] isn't the ps3 a community supported release? [05:32] it has lots of errors in the top level headers about shift sizes [05:32] Uhh oh, TechSupport left, whatever shall we do?! heh [05:32] tgo: don't the ps3 people have their own mailing list? [05:32] a931bw: it's the widget toolkit used by KDE and several programs [05:32] a931bw, QT is the widget toolkit KDE is based on [05:32] ok this channel is useless [05:32] heh [05:32] a931bw: The set of programming libraries used to display buttons, windows, and other "widgets" by KDE (the GNOME equivalent is gtk) [05:32] for ps3, probably except on random occasions [05:33] anyone know the easiest way to download oss4? [05:33] having some trouble heh [05:33] rgreer, with your web browser [05:34] rgreer, you probably won't get much help here putting in oss4; it gets too busy here to do much more than support official release software.

Run a command in your terminal --> notify-send 'Your mom says' 'I love you very much!' <-- You'll see Dbus session, but it's not possible to do it over the ssh ?

[05:37] 7.04 [05:37] a931bw, upgrade to 8.10 and try again [05:37] jinja-sheep: try `DISPLAY=":0" notify-send 'Your mom says' 'I love you very much!'`. That works for running other graphical apps via SSH for me. [05:37] i'm can't [05:37] a931bw: 7.04 isn't even supported anymore and qt4 isn't in the repositories for it [05:37] Okay i'm going to shcool [05:38] rww: With the backtick too? [05:38] a931bw, without mad leet hax, you will not get qt4 to run on 7.04 [05:38] jinja-sheep: nope, take out the backticks [05:38] I am somewhat of a newbie and I need to get rid of all the raid modules loaded at startup by ubuntu SERVER 8.10. How can I do that? [05:38] rww: Noted. Will test it. [05:38] ok with AWN manager how would i set it up to look like the icons on bottom of desk like mac when move over them they highlight kind of like dreamlinux [05:38] jinja-sheep: let me know if it works, I'm interested in doing something similar :) [05:39] rww: And my mom love me. Lol. It worked. ;) [05:39] rww: What evil trick do you have up your dirty sleeves? :O === eric is now known as talntid [05:40] jinja-sheep: awesome! Yeah, the usual problem with graphical apps in ssh is that the DISPLAY variable isn't set right (that variable tells the program which Xorg session to use), hence that working :) [05:41] rww: I thought you are going to do something with the... :0 [05:41] As in the smiley face. [05:41] rww: Will try the DISPLAY command. New trick for me. :) [05:42] What is good software (ubuntu)to rip audio cds ?

[05:42] how do I run a script after networking is up? [05:42] jinja-sheep: oh! :0 is the weird notation that variable needs. If you have more than one Xorg session running, they get numbered :1, :2, etc. [05:42] quaal: huh?

Like when I try to connect to the http port on firefox, it takes so long that I have to refresh, then it loads instantly. Sometimes I get the same thing with ssh. Any ideas why? [05:44] RegressLess, no it isnt. fox banned ubuntu [05:45] folks I cannot make Xserver work I have (EE)No devices detected. [05:45] when the instaler fist set up it I had trerrible flicker problems [05:45] RegressLess, why would she want to do that anyway? :) [05:45] rww, yeah, looks like i was wrong. cool :) [05:45] quaal: It seems that way, but surely there's a workaround [05:45] RegressLess: you can, with a TV tuner card. [05:45] AbtZ: She likes her stupid TV shows [05:46] NGL-TwYsTeD: [05:46] RegressLess: You could try running Firefox under Wine. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405397 . Doesn't look like you can do it in a native browser, though (the Move Networks codec thing it needs is Windows and Mac only :( ) [05:46] NGL-TwYsTeD: check this one out http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-brand-new-dock-with.html [05:46] What do you mean? Fox banned Ubuntu? I'm lost. Watching Fox shows via Internet? [05:46] I don't have a cd drive or a usb thumb drive to install Ubuntu.. How can I go about installing on an empy hard drive other than wubi? Or could I install with wubi and move it to a physical drive? [05:46] RegressLess, bittorrent is your fruend :) [05:46] *friend [05:47] rww: it works, if you want to call it that. It is really bad on Wine [05:47] Hey guys, is there a way to get the scroll wheel to scroll between workspaces when I have no visual effects checked under appearance preferences? [05:47] RegressLess: which winversion 1.1.12 is the best one yet [05:47] RegressLess: What happens when you try it on ubuntu? === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [05:47] RegressLess: That sucks :(. That Move codec thing is used in a bunch of different networks' on-demand things, not just Fox. [05:47] hehe. [05:47] Dezine: What do you currently have on the computer? [05:47] ever tried to install ubuntu via Wubi INSIDE wine? [05:48] Windows [05:48] I watch most fox shows on Hulu [05:48] can I have help on xserver? [05:48] just installed ubuntu on a compaq presario V2000, cant get wireless towork. have tried several online fixes and get the response in terminal of "package cannot be found" [05:48] workingchair: Probably not. Switching workspaces via mouse sounds like a visual effect. :) [05:48] I have an empty hard drive available [05:48] CoJaBo: you get a message stating only Windows and Mac are supported [05:48] already installed I mean [05:48] Dezine: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [05:48] redvamp128: [05:49] RegressLess: Try changing the Firefox user agent to one from the Windows version. [05:49] redvamp128: 1.0.1 [05:49] Perfect, thank you Flannel [05:49] Some sites ban Linux users for no reason. [05:49] Thanks for the help nagging of "firefox has been updated..." stopped [05:49] CoJaBo: Avoiding DDoS, I guess. <_< [05:49] CoJaBo, RegressLess: user-agent changing doesn't help, I've tried. The site needs a codec thing to be installed to work, and it's only available for Windows and OS X. [05:50] rww: Whats the codec/plugin it uses? [05:50] rww: got a url?

Sometimes I get the same thing with ssh. Any ideas why? [05:50] rww: if you try wine, it seems like it's just flash player [05:50] rww: How about VirtualBox? [05:50] just installed ubuntu on a compaq presario V2000, cant get wireless to work. have tried several online fixes and get the response in terminal of "package cannot be found" [05:50] <\Kira> kevi1: install the package, then [05:51] CoJaBo: Some Move Networks ( http://www.movenetworks.com/ ) thing. I'm not sure on the exact details; I ended up just using my roommate's OS X computer :( [05:51] kira: how do i do that? i'm using sudo apt-get when i get the error message. [05:51] You may want to go to the Devside RegressLess: [05:51] kevi1: Use the ethernet cord. Update all packages -- Then you set up the Wifi part later on. [05:51] Why divides the Configuration Editor its keys in (more than) two branches: apps and schemas? [05:51] jinja-sheep, right, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to select specific visual effects. is there a config file with each visual effects setting that I can turn on, or something? [05:51] <\Kira> kevi1: you want sudo apt-get install insertpackagenamehere [05:51] jinja-sheep: I have the ethernet cord connected. did the updates it wanted me to do. [05:52] RegressLess: I have mine setup to auto update with each development release-- [05:52] question: i dual boot OSX and ubuntu. is there any way to let amarok access my itunes library? the directory is showing up as locked [05:52] workingchair: You could switch the workspace using keyboard shortcuts... if that helps. [05:52] kira: when i do that, it says "E: Couldn't find package packagenamehere" [05:52] rww: In cases I have seen, the only thing that doesn't play is the ads (which require WMP). The video plays fine, and is usually flash. [05:52] redvamp128: Devside? Development side? what do you mean, please tell me this secret! [05:52] redvamp128: I would like that [05:52] <\Kira> kevi1: before downloading any packages, you have to run the command: sudo apt-get update [05:53] kevi1: What command did you use? [05:53] redvamp128: you mean wine, I suppose [05:53] ！dmesg [05:53] jinja-sheep, what is that shortcut. I could probably live with that... [05:53] <\Kira> kevi1: that will update the packages you have with the ubuntu package server, so it can tell you of updates and find the packages to downlaod [05:53] kira: i didn't know that. i'll try it now [05:53] what it dmesg [05:53] workingchair: It's under System --> Pref --> Keyboard Fsckcut.

[05:56] VirtualBox > RootBox. :) [05:56] I can never tell if programs suck (in Ubuntu) because I don't have that much experience [05:56] jinja-sheep: ######ßß [05:56] ???????

I remember checking the "install boot loader" during Ubuntu install. Now I just plugged in the WinXP dri [06:38] please do [06:38] camelel: i've been using clamTK virus scanner on the 50.1gb partition... i've gotten 4 hits or so.

[07:05] dnyy: have you tried restarting your PC? (making sure alsa-utils is checked in Services)? [07:05] Light-: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils doesn't start or stop anything. It stores and restores the volume level on shutdown and startup. ALSA has a kernel component and is started there, iirc. [07:06] Light- I havne't restarted WITH it checked, because it was unchecked previously (when sound was working). Should I try it anyway? [07:06] mattgyver83: restarting alsamixer did nothing. ;/ [07:06] haven't* [07:06] sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [07:06] sorry, i was way off. [07:07] Says its shutting down, starting up, then finishes. But no sound. :/ [07:07] dnyy: dunno whats going on then, try with it checked if all else fails [07:07] I wish it'd at least give me some errors. :( [07:07] dnyy: run "alsamixer" (without sudo) at the terminal and make sure that your volume isn't muted [07:07] rww: it isn't [07:07] dnyy: Did you check that in alsamixer, or in the GUI? [07:07] does it still do it after a reboot [07:07] ? [07:07] dnyy: In system->preferences->sound, click "test" by one of the thingys, does an error come up? [07:08] I'm using openbox, don't have a sound test. ;/ [07:08] that I know of, at lesat [07:08] oh [07:08] least* I'm spelling horrible right now. ;< [07:08] And have you tryed different types of media to make sure its just not a volume setting on one (ie youtube player turned down) [07:08] Yuh, it doesn't even play the startup sound in GDM [07:08] dnyy: to launch from terminal is gnome-sound-properties [07:09] Man, might be broke. j/k outta my scope... [07:09] hey guys, sometimes my hdd starts working hard and i don't know why, and slows down the system. how can i find out what is eating my harddisk I/O? [07:09] when putting applications into sessions to boot up when logging in, what should i added to the command to make the application get sent to a different virtual desktop? [07:09] Light- brb, gonna restart first. [07:09] omid8bimo, its probably because Linux is swapping out to disk [07:09] does anyone here know what a .bundle is? I'm downloading the latest vmware and it comes in .rpm and .bundle [07:10] Light-: i don't have any swap drive [07:10] Gumby: lolwut, never heard of it [07:10] Light-: I know [07:10] weird [07:10] omid8bimo, thats a little dangerous :\ dunno then [07:10] Light-: i know :) [07:10] Gumby: VMWare Workstation or Server? [07:10] rww: workstation [07:11] Light-: i just wanna know where to check and find out that specific process [07:11] Gumby: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation you should just be able to run it in a terminal. See that page. [07:11] VMWare-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle [07:11] rww: thanks [07:11] omid8bimo, no idea sorry, all I know about is top and the system monitor thingy in gnome [07:12] Light-: thanks anyway dude [07:13] When it booted back up alsa-utils was unchecked again. :/ [07:14] dnyy: virus? :P im out of ideas then, do you have gnome-sound-properties ? === webirc-6 is now known as Thxpnp^laptop [07:14] don't have it [07:14] I'll install it real quick if it doesn't require a shit ton of other gnome things [07:14] it probably will [07:14] all it does is allow you to choose default audio providers and test them [07:15] if the test fails it usually produces a good error though [07:16] doesn't even show up in apt-get [07:16] I do have gnome-volume-manager, though [07:17] the servers burbing ahhh [07:17] lol [07:17] haha, I half feel retarded and half still don't get it [07:17] gnome-volume-manager had everything muted even though it wasn't showing so in alsamixer [07:17] I didn't know I had gnome-volume-manager, much less use it, so I have no idea how they got muted. :/ [07:18] i type "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal. how can i quit? [07:18] dnyy: so its working now? [07:18] Light- Yup, thanks for the help. :) Still horribly confused as to what happened, but at least it works. :P [07:18] this key : [07:18] thats shift [07:19] then save and quit via commands [07:19] or have a forgotten lol [07:20] i [07:20] hey all, um, had a power outage and now i cant mount my hdds [07:20] moDumass: errors? [07:20] i get a "mount timeout" error [07:20] moDumass chkdsk them if there ntfs [07:20] Light-, yeh mount error 110 = Connection timed out [07:20] fsck them if theyre ext [07:20] Light and gogereaver, they exist, my other machines are streaming from them [07:21] eh? cant you only copy data from a MOUNTED drive? [07:22] opera: To quit and save changes, press the escape key, then the : key, then the w key then enter, then escape colon q enter. To quit without saving, do escape colon q! enter [07:23] opera: Oh, and next time, use nano instead of vi. Vi is ridiculous. [07:24] rww: careful, you might start a religious war :P [07:24] actually vi allows you to queue commands so writing to file and quitting is done in one step by :wq [07:24] Light- hehe === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [07:25] Light-, no i can usually read, write, do the whole lot [07:25] but now, this machine cant even see the NAS [07:25] the wars on [07:25] kik [07:25] oh, so you're mounting nfs shared drives from a nas? === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [07:25] or smb drives?

I have to alt-tab or click on the application bar [07:27] Light- if hes using securty [07:27] or the ip adresses changed [07:27] right. I was going to suggest restarting samba on the nas, making sure he could ping the nas, then trying again [07:27] my boot drive is shown as unknown in gparted and i get grub eroor17 at boot what is happening?

[07:31] balrog__: besides diff? [07:32] I power-cycled [07:32] The modem is connecting ok [07:32] ...and pppoe is connecting ok, but I still cannot ping the Internet [07:32] In fact my whole Ubuntu system is quite slow since upgrading to 8.04.

Ubuntu needs no NIC drivers. If your ISP provides some software to login such as dialer install it b4 logging in. if You are using DHCP then you need to repair connection by clicking on it.

Either Ubuntu (or you) generally set swap space on the same drive Ubuntu is installed to.

Your homedir only has your preferences and personal files. To remove whatever packages you've installed, you'll have to use apt-get (or whatever your favorite package manager is).

[09:57] ActionParsnip, may i pm you [09:57] WoW [09:57] w00b3: sure [09:57] When i first run it, it works [09:57] I am trying out ubuntu 8.10, and having difficulty in display. It only works in safe mode; in normal the screen goes blank after the ubuntu loading screen. I can hear the loading sound, but the monitor enters power saving mode. Radeon HD 4850 [09:57] mrselfpwn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [09:57] this is in live cd [09:57] Though if I exit the game and then try to restart it i get that error [09:58] i have to leave X and then re enter for it to work again [09:58] hi [09:58] so it works only once the, the first time i run it [09:59] mrselfpwn: read the guide is all i can sugest. i dont use wine for games but i believe that the doc is sound [09:59] well actually [09:59] anyone can help me with a weird driver issue, my laptop backlight acts really weird in x11 since a few days, its fine in textmode and win32 [09:59] under the configuration section on that page [09:59] it says [10:00] nvm [10:00] misread [10:00] bascially as soon as im on battery its starts to flicker and gets really dark [10:01] any suggestions on what to do? [10:01] kill gnome-power-manager [10:01] hello.somebody help. my computer was breakdown just now.i restart it .then all 3d effects can not be used ,why? how to fix it? [10:03] anyone can help? [10:03] Tekno: was that directed at me? [10:03] Leo_: wassup> [10:03] the 3d effects can not be used now [10:03] Leo_: have you installed video drivers? [10:04] yeah [10:04] ronny: yes [10:04] hello all. can anyone tell me the terminal command to erase/format a data stick please? [10:04] Tekno: woot, that fixed it [10:04] Tekno: any idea why it causes that? [10:04] i worked well before [10:04] its kinda annoying [10:04] ronny: gnome-power-manager can do dimming to save power.. [10:04] humphrey: run sudo fdisk -l to identify the partition [10:04] and once the computer broke down ,i restarted the computer. then i can not work. [10:05] ActionParsnip1: will do, thankyou [10:05] Tekno: the thing is as soon as i kill it, the display dimming works as its supposed to [10:05] humphrey: then use mke2fs. /dev/partition name [10:05] ronny: you may need to somehow disable dimming features of it [10:05] any idea where to look? [10:06] do u know any program to create flash files [10:06] start it, click the tray icon and there should be something related options [10:06] humphrey: so if the partition is /dev/hdg2, and you want to use fat, you'd use: sudo mke2fs.vfat /dev/hdg2 [10:06] ok [10:06] now i changed the screen resolution and the display is corrupted :/ [10:06] Whenever I try linux it always breaks something :( [10:07] Tekno: hmm, it still causes weird effects [10:07] Leo_: i'd just reconfigure your video as it appears to have broken in some way then [10:08] how should i fix the problem ? [10:08] Leo_: what gfx card do you have? [10:08] Leo_: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [10:08] ok [10:08] hello everybody [10:08] hi doktoreas [10:08] is there any syntax for adding symlink to a gzip archive? [10:09] doktoreas: ln -s /path/to/file.gzip /path/to/linkname [10:09] doktoreas: or if you cd to the place you want the link, you can use: ln -s /path/to/file.gzip . [10:10] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [10:11] ActionParsnip1: erm.. says "mke2fs.vfat: command not found" did i miss something blatant? [10:11] isnt it mk2fs.vfat [10:12] there is extra 'e' in your text [10:12] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [10:12] q. if i install ubuntu in a VM, will beryl effects be available ? [10:12] humphrey: mkfs.vfat [10:12] humphrey: if a command doesnt work, try tab completing it with less characters [10:13] zorglu_: as far as I am aware, no [10:13] ActionParsnip1: ok thanks [10:14] Leo_: try editting xorg.conf and using Driver "intel" [10:14] i am green on ubuntu , can you tell how?? [10:15] what [10:17] hurray, it worked! thankyou ActionParsnip1 and Tekno [10:17] bye all [10:17] :) [10:18] humphrey: np bro [10:18] Leo_: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:19] Hello [10:19] How do I update my EEE pc to OOO 3.0? [10:19] thetutorials fail [10:19] pop quiz.. make my nas go - with your huge mutant brains - [10:20] i use this command only to open a blank file xorg.conf. is that right? [10:20] Leo_: the X in X11 is capitalised for a reason [10:21] Leo_: linux is CasE SenSiTIve [10:21] Flanel: thanks [10:22] yes i know [10:22] i typed it capitalised [10:22] Leo_: you can copy / paste to the terminal, no need to type [10:22] Leo_: try tab completing the folder names [10:22] ok , thanks [10:25] so xen on ubuntu server 8.04 is just not working? (is it there to waste bandwidth and HD space or something?) [10:25] Section "Device" [10:25] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [10:25] EndSection [10:25] Section "Monitor" [10:25] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [10:25] Leo_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:25] EndSection [10:25] so xen on ubuntu server 8.04 is just not working? (is it there to waste bandwidth and HD space or something?) [10:25] hi [10:26] Leo_: under "Configured Video Device", add a line that reads: Driver "intel" [10:26] hello olrrai [10:26] natilus question: how to confirm when I move a folder using mouse? [10:27] Leo_: save, close gedit then restart xserver [10:27] Leo_: you may find if its no good that it uses the i810 driver [10:27] Leo_: i couldnt find a great deal but you're gonna be wrestling that file [10:27] okay , thanks a lot [10:28] olrrai, as in: it sohuld ask you first before moving? [10:28] ask if youŕe sure [10:28] Ward1983: yeah [10:28] im not sure of that [10:28] Ward1983: ok [10:28] olrrai, does it have to be with the mouse? [10:29] yes [10:29] sorry dunno then [10:30] and to confirm delete? [10:31] Howdy. I have a system running Ubuntu Feisty. It has a CD drive, but can't boot from the CD. If I put the Intrepid CD in, is there anything I can run the installer? And, I can't update from Update-manager. [10:31] for some reason gparted cant see my nas, and cifs has it in there, with the right path, like nothing has changed, but i cannot for the life of me mount it [10:31] actually, hangon [10:33] Severian: why can't you upgrade? === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [10:34] ActionParsnip1, not enough disk space. When I first set it up, I gave 200 meg to /boot. I deleted everything on /boot except the current kernel. The updater says there is not enough room. [10:35] Severian: try: sudo apt-get clean [10:35] sudo mount -a [10:35] mount error 13 = Permission denied [10:35] what what what what i sudo`d and everything, im guessing NASTASIC is denying me [10:35] sorry didnt meant o paste across 3 lines [10:35] When I first set this system up, I had a bootable CD, but it broke and I am using a USB one now. The system is old enough not to support booting from USB. [10:36] ActionParsnip1, that will not help. The / partition has plenty of space. /boot is too small. There are no packages on that partition. [10:37] Severian: could copy the isos to the usb and mount it, then upgrade from that [10:37] serverian: what about floppy drive [10:37] Severian: why does /boot come into the equation with updates === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [10:39] ActionParsnip1, /boot is where the kernel and a few special files go. During the update, both the old and new ones will be there. My drive does not have enough room. It is the Ubuntu Installer script that stops and tells me this. [10:40] Severian: strange [10:40] ActionParsnip1: I mean how keep symlink inside a zip archive [10:40] Assuming I mounted the USB drive with the installer on it, what would I run from the installer CD. [10:40] I just wondered where the arch command has gone? [10:40] doktoreas: you can't, you'd have to extract it as far as I know [10:41] see u later [10:42] !give me a test [10:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about give me a test [10:53] what should .smbcredentials look like? [10:54] hello! [10:55] '~$ invest-chart' will call the program 'Financial Chart'. At the same time the GNOME terminal prints: "Data Dir: /usr/share/gnome-applets/invest-applet." What does this message mean? === rob is now known as Guest34515 [10:56] I am not able to kill a process even with ; kill -9 . how to kill that? [10:56] moDumass: the file may contain 2 lines (username= and password=) [10:56] jitu3485: Did you try the sudo prefix? [10:56] ocean yeh thats all thats in there [10:56] hi have someone the main, intrepied 8.10 package main list please? [10:57] bullgard4, yes i tried with that also [10:57] moDumass: the file should be chmod'd (chmod 600 /home/mydir/.smbpasswd) [10:57] oCean_, this is in my nsswitch file though "hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [10:57] " [10:57] jitu3485: Did you try 'killall' yet? [10:57] hi Can someone please help me I cant find, nearly nothing in synapitc please have someone, the most importand dist package lists? please [10:58] bullgard4, not yet , let me try that [10:58] bullgard4, will it make me logout [10:58] ? [10:58] jtaji: No. [10:58] k [10:58] jitu3485: No. [10:59] moDumass: not sure what the problem is, you asked about samba config, right? [10:59] oCean_, .smbpasswd or .smbcredentials? [10:59] Hey. I've have problems installing openoffice. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105099/ [10:59] oCean_, i had a nas connected, i can see it if i brows to its IP [10:59] but i cant mount it anymore [11:00] moDumass: well, I use '.smbpasswd' and in /etc/fstab file in the options: "credentials=/home/myhomedir/.smbpasswd" [11:01] moDumass: can you ping the ip? [11:01] hi. is there a doc somewhere explaining how the new dbus based networking works? [11:01] elaksomfan: Please edit your /etc/apt/sources.list list. But first back it up! [11:01] i.e. to set an interface to be static ip or dhcp you used to configure /etc/network/interfaces... [11:01] but now you don't [11:01] moDumass: to get some (error?)output try mounting one of the drives manually. For example "mount -t smbfs //ipaddress/drivename /mnt" [11:01] oCean_, i fixed it, didnt learn anything, but used a backup of my fstab file [11:01] <|MIRV|> hello, can someone tell me the name of the package that is supposed to help with video drivers (ati) .. I can't remember for the life of me.. [11:02] moDumass: ah, all's well, that... and so on? :) [11:02] and to bring it up and down you used to do ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 [11:02] but that doesn't work now that NetworkManager is in the mix [11:03] elaksomfan: You can do that more conveniently by using System > Administration > Software Sources. Enable missing repositories there. [11:03] <|MIRV|> my friggen video runs like crud in jaunty :( [11:03] thanks master [11:04] oCean_, seems that way [11:04] oCean_, thanks though [11:04] is there a bot in here like dpkg in #debian? [11:04] StuckMojo: indeed [11:04] !hi | StuckMojo [11:04] StuckMojo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:04] sweet [11:04] StuckMojo: Yes. [11:05] StuckMojo: do people still listen to stuckmojo [11:05] ActionParsnip1: i doubt it. i never did, i just liked the name ;) [11:05] hi! I was looking for xorg.conf but there was nothing else but a blank file in /etc/X11/ - where am i going to find it nowadays? [11:05] haha classic [11:05] hmmm...ubottu doesn't have quite as complete info as dpkg [11:06] i asked both about networkmanager, dpkg's answer was more complete. ubottu just gave me the project url [11:06] dpkg told me to see /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian for how to set it up [11:06] StuckMojo: depends what you wanna know [11:06] well..say i wanted to change eth0 to be a static ip [11:06] !network [11:06] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:06] and i don't want to use lame ass gnome gui tools [11:07] StuckMojo /etc/network/interfaces [11:07] StuckMojo vim /etc/network/interfaces [11:07] dayo_: yeah but that's empty now that network manager is in the mix [11:07] StuckMojo: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [11:07] lol [11:07] StuckMojo populate it? [11:07] StuckMojo: that will will superceded anything network manager will do [11:07] ah [11:08] will putting the old dhcp style entries in there break NM? [11:08] StuckMojo http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p3 [11:08] StuckMojo, NM will detect a manual configuration and ignore that interface. [11:08] StuckMojo: it will set the interface to dhcp no matter what nm says [11:08] i just feel silly that the only way i now know how to dhcp a new address is: /etc/init.d/dbus restart [11:09] i see [11:09] networking restart doesn't seem to do it anymore [11:09] hello [11:09] anybody here? [11:09] StuckMojo u want it static or dhcp? [11:09] and with an empty /etc/network/interfaces, ifdown eth0 throws an error [11:10] dayo_: well...what i really want to know is how to control an NM managed interface from the command line [11:10] hello? [11:10] StuckMojo: if you rename the file and reboot you will get a stock one [11:10] ubuntu_first_tim, hello [11:10] StuckMojo completely empty? you should have at least: uto lo [11:10] iface lo inet loopback [11:10] hey, i need some help with installing Ubuntu [11:10] like simple stuff like take it down and back up [11:10] can you help me please? [11:10] StuckMojo auto lo [11:10] dayo_: yeah it only has lo in there [11:10] !install | ubuntu_first_tim [11:10] ubuntu_first_tim: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [11:11] ActionParsnip1: which file? interfaces? [11:11] StuckMojo: yes, if you rm it and reboot, the system will see it missing and generate another [11:11] i read all the manuals, i think i have a special problem [11:11] ubuntu_first_tim just ask [11:11] i couldn't find a documanted solution [11:11] ubuntu_first_tim, what is the problem [11:12] hey guys...have a question. gives BitchX for Ubuntu 8.10? [11:12] ok, i have 2 HDD on my PC: 1-40GB(windows) and 2-500GB(which is partitioned 400-100) [11:12] ActionParsnip1: well that's nifty [11:12] StuckMojo: pretty much :) [11:12] now, i want to install ubuntu on the 100GB part of the 2nd disk [11:12] StuckMojo: im sure theres a way without rebooting but i dont know it [11:12] and when i choose it, it gives me an error [11:13] on my laptop, NM actually works nice. but my desktop has multiple interfaces for instance. i'd like to know how to work with NM there if i plug the cable into the wrong one or some such [11:13] that i havn't chosen a root *something* [11:13] i just feel blind now [11:13] ubuntu_first_tim copy the error to pastebin so i can have a look [11:13] ubuntu_first_tim: delete the 100Gb partition so its unallocated, then tell the installer to use the largest contiguos unallocated space [11:13] ok well thanks guys [11:13] ubuntu_first_tim: whats the error say? [11:13] ubuntu_first_tim yeah, sounds like u need to redo the partitions [11:14] just the fact that i can fall back on interfaces and have things work, have NM move out of the way, that's a good thing to know [11:14] ActionParsnip1: But if i delete this partiotion, i also delete the 400GB partition, no? [11:14] ubuntu_first_tim like ActionParsnip1 said, delete the 100GB and then redo [11:14] ActionParsnip1: But if i delete this partiotion, i also delete the 400GB partition, no? [11:14] aha! /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian has the info i need [11:14] ubuntu_first_tim: no. only delete 100gb [11:14] Devices listed in /etc/network/interfaces _will_ be managed by NetworkManager [11:14] unless the ifupdown system-config-setting is enabled and is setup to run [11:14] in "Unmanaged mode" [11:15] and how do i delete this partiotion? [11:15] there's an /etc/NetworkManager dir, which has some stuff in it [11:15] threw ubuntu? [11:15] ok cool [11:15] thanks for the head start guys [11:15] StuckMojo: its the interfaces file in /etc/network [11:15] ubuntu_first_tim: yes [11:15] ubuntu_first_tim: u're using the gui installer, right? [11:15] to NM's credit, i haven't had to be concerned about it up to now, it's "just worked" :) [11:15] yep [11:16] ciao [11:16] !list [11:16] 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 [11:16] ubuntu_first_tim: ok. just delete the 100gb. nothing else. then let it use the free space [11:16] StuckMojo: i never use it, i always populate the interfaces file myself [11:16] ubuntu_first_tim: deleting the 100gb will create at least 100gb worth of free space for the installer to work with [11:16] dayo: but how do i delete it? i'm using CD ubuntu right now [11:17] ActionParsnip1: well my desktop i'll have to do that. this lappy was a clean install [11:17] ubuntu_first_tim: click on the 100gb, then choose delete from the menu [11:17] ActionParsnip1: since it just worked, i never messed with it [11:17] ActionParsnip1: but my desktop is Sid, and it was WAYYYYY out of date [11:17] and it wont delete the 400gb for sure? [11:17] ActionParsnip1: dist-upgraded a couple months ago and the network was dead after [11:18] ubuntu_first_tim: not it won't kill the 400 unless u select the 400 [11:18] StuckMojo: maybe you need to get the drivers installed / compiled for the new kernel [11:18] sweet, i'll try it as we speak [11:18] ActionParsnip1: the work lappy is nice, so i haven't messed with it [11:18] ubuntu_first_speak: ok [11:18] StuckMojo: im just familiar with the conf files so use those, saves space having gui apps doing nothing [11:18] btw, in the docs, it says about adding a swap partiotion as well... do i need it? [11:19] ActionParsnip1: i don't think so. it's probably just...busted. i had waited way too long to upgrade. im sure lots of shit is broken. apt touched like 1000+ packages [11:19] heh [11:19] StuckMojo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:19] probably should just do a fresh install [11:19] StuckMojo: sounds likely [11:19] ubuntu_first_tim: it's a good idea. allocate make twice your RAM size to swap [11:19] i really have no need of Sid anymore now that Ubuntu is around [11:20] ubuntu_first_tim: i have 2gb or RAM so i made my swap partition 4gb [11:20] StuckMojo: ubuntu doesnt suit all needs necessarily [11:20] wow i so could have used this place when i was having resolution issues with my nvidia graphics card [11:20] !swap | ubuntu_first_tim [11:20] ubuntu_first_tim: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:20] ActionParsnip1: yeah this Sid install is probably.....hell 4-5 years old [11:20] glandon: its why its here [11:20] when i partition it, i should set it as primary? [11:20] Hi. I upgraded my 8.10 to jaunty by dist-upgrade and converted the only partition I had to ext4. I was under the impression, that jaunty can now do ext4, including grub2 support. I installed grub2 but in chainload mode and now I can't boot into ubuntu [11:20] ActionParsnip1: and it started as a -testing install [11:20] StuckMojo: nice, i'd clean install to give it a minty feel [11:21] any1 know much about boot up screen resolutions............... [11:21] ubuntu_first_tim: yeah [11:21] yeah it'll just be tough to get the stuff off there i want to keep [11:21] pisi: jaunty in #ubuntu+1 [11:21] is there a way around it? I have not yet succeeded with upgrading grub from the jaunty live cd ... [11:21] yea well im kinda new to all this and didnt realize it was all here till after i had gotten everything set up [11:21] pisi: go to #ubuntu+1 for help about jaunty [11:21] i need a new drive anyway, one of my raid1 disks is dead anyway [11:21] apocolyps1: edit your xorg.conf so the leftmost resolution is the one you want to use [11:21] where's the NTFS option? [11:22] ok well enough chatting ;) thanks a lot gents! ever need help with PostgreSQL, i'm always in the channel during weekdays central time [11:22] ubuntu_first_tim: use ext3 [11:22] action: resolution is fine under x, its just my boot up screens grub etc [11:22] Anyone who can help me with some problems with the package manager and openoffice? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105099/ [11:22] ubuntu_first_tim: at a 100gb. maybe set swap to double-ram-size. /root to 50gb and the rest to /home [11:23] ubuntu_first_tim: or 30gb for /root. depends on what u plan on installing, later on [11:23] apocolyps1: like I said, the screen res for that uses the leftmost res in xorg.conf so move the desired one to the left in the modes list in screen and you'll get that resolution for the boot screens, grub will always use the same res [11:23] ubuntu_first_tim: ext3 [11:23] dayo_: i wouldnt advise users use /root [11:23] my firefox is fullscreen everytime it launches. How do I turn it off? [11:23] dayo_: /root is the root users home directory [11:24] action: oh sorry will try [11:24] alex_sleiborg: where are you getting these from? [11:24] orthodoc_: press F11 [11:24] dayo: ext3 will work with my files on the windows Hard disks? [11:24] alex_sleiborg: try remove the openoffice.org-writer2latex package [11:24] alex_sleiborg: why is it saying they're untrusted? [11:24] is anyone in here familiar with the game armegetron? i have it installed but when i try to play it it trys to use a resolution that isnt supported by my monitor i can support up to 1440x900 [11:24] ActionParsnip1: i usually create swap /root and /home [11:24] ActionParsnip1: that brings it back , thanks but thats not the probelm [11:24] StuckMojo: Don't know [11:24] ubuntu_first_tim: no windows cant read ext3 [11:24] well, can someone plz say where i find xorg.conf -file in intrepid? [11:24] well, can someone plz say where i find xorg.conf -file in intrepid? [11:24] ubuntu_first_tim: u will need to install something on your win partition to access ext3. but it works [11:25] orthodoc_: try launching firefox in safe mode with, firefox -safe-mode. If that fixes it then use safe mode to remove all your configurations and plugins [11:25] ActionParsnip1: How do i preven it from launching that way again? [11:25] muibe: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:25] nightrid3r: yes it can, with the proper software :) [11:25] muibe: if there is one (it is not mandatory) it will be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:25] orthodoc_: hold ctrl + shift and click the X to close it [11:25] ziroday: thanks i will try that [11:25] orthodoc_: should be ok [11:25] http://www.fs-driver.org/ [11:25] and does it work the other was round? [11:25] !repeat > muibe [11:25] muibe, please see my private message [11:25] erUSUL nightrid3r : well, it is a blank file [11:25] ubuntu_first_tim: yes [11:26] threw ubuntu, am i able to accsess files on windows? [11:26] ziroday: It says that it isn't installed, and i should try to remove openoffice.org [11:26] cool [11:26] muibe: as i said modern Xserver releases do not need it [11:26] ubuntu_first_tim: i advice to keep the win->ubuntu access read-only, tho [11:26] muibe: althought you can crete one if you want [11:26] alex_sleiborg: doesn't seem to be installing all the stuff that you'd normally get [11:26] ziroday: fisrfox in safe mode doe snot prevent it from launching in full screen mode [11:26] dayo, well, there goes nothing, wishh me luck :) [11:27] ubuntu_first_tim: good luck [11:27] alex_sleiborg: the reason you are having these issues is that you are using externel repos. Remove openoffice and openoffice.org-writer2latex and then reinstall just openoffice [11:27] actionParsnip1: my xorg.conf has nothing in it about modes?? [11:27] ubuntu_first_tim: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [11:27] again, the same error: No root file system is defined. [11:27] Please correct this from the partitioning menu." [11:27] screw it hey im looking for a good freeware game for linux preferably fps or rpg with good graphics any ideas? [11:27] orthodoc_: so firefox -sade-mode didn't work? What about pressing F11 twice? [11:27] ubuntu_first_tim, you have to set the mount point to "/" [11:27] for the main partition [11:27] Boohbah: thanks for the tip [11:27] ziroday: will try that [11:27] glandon: there are a few, you can look at urban terror which is a FPS [11:27] glandon: http://www.happypenguin.org/ [11:28] ubuntu_first_tim, the first partition should be / not /root [11:28] ubuntu_first_tim: what partitions did u use [11:28] ziroday: So now i have removed it, and what shall i do next? [11:28] ubuntu_first_tim: sorry, my mistake. / NOT /root [11:28] alex_sleiborg: do this: apt-get clean [11:28] i took the 100gb [11:28] alex_sleiborg: that will force the packages to be downloaded again [11:28] ubuntu_first_tim: u need to make a / partition. that the root partition [11:28] ubuntu_first_tim, you should have at least / and swap, optionally also /home and /boot if you like === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [11:29] LOL [11:29] Hi all, How does one set timeout for getaddrinfo/nslookup/ ? I tried adding options timeout:4 in /etc/resolve.conf but it does not help. [11:29] glandon: Urban Terror [11:29] ubuntu_first_tim: it should work now [11:29] alex_sleiborg: reinstall openoffice [11:29] ziroday: pressing f11 twice didn't help either... [11:29] in the docs, it says :". Lastly enter the mount point as /. ", so i put "/." instead of " / " :) [11:30] orthodoc_: erm okay, how about alt + left click and then dragging it down. Does that show the window bar? [11:30] ubuntu_first_tim: LOL [11:30] alex_sleiborg: you do that? [11:31] it asks me now whether to import from windows, should i? [11:31] +1 urban terror [11:31] StuckMojo: 2 sek [11:31] alex_sleiborg: then try again, but if it gives the message about untrusted, say no. [11:31] ubuntu_first_tim: i usually click no [11:31] ubuntu_first_tim, yes you can to that, it will im port settings from windows [11:31] like you background and stuff [11:31] StuckMojo: I'll try that, i'm just making a apt-get upgrade [11:32] some settings and i dont know what else [11:32] alex_sleiborg: apt-get clean will delete all your downloaded .deb files, so it will grab them again next time [11:32] alex_sleiborg: you may need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to remove whatever whacky repo you got the bad files from [11:32] ziroday: thanks for the help. [11:32] i clicked install! [11:32] orthodoc_: did alt + left click fix it? [11:33] ziroday: what worked is at thsi link:https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/34312 [11:33] it's not a problem i'm doing it while using the live session, right? [11:33] ubuntu_first_tim: is the install running,now? [11:33] yeah [11:33] glandon: urban terror is great, but so is...umm...Enemy Territory. ET is based on RTCW online [11:33] glandon: it's free [11:33] orthodoc_: I did recommend you hit F11 to get rid of full screen mode :) [11:33] ubuntu_first_tim: yes the live session is good [11:34] ziroday: i did dude, but it repeated everytime i restarted [11:34] and one last thing (i think :) ), i chose the partiotion to be logical, is that ok? === CrEddy_ is now known as CrEddy [11:35] this is what is says in the docs: "Click Create new partition. Select Logical, Ext3 and set it to use the remaining space." [11:35] ubuntu_first_tim: which partition? [11:35] the root [11:35] ziroday: the point is it got stuck in the maximise position [11:35] ubuntu_first_tim: / should be primary, i think. [11:35] ziroday: see what wc.000123 has written at the link i provided earlier [11:36] ubuntu_first_tim: the rest can be logical [11:36] casue the docs say: Click Create new partition. Select Logical, Ext3 and set it to use the remaining space [11:36] Hi, I wrote this guide about setting up an Ubutu/Lighttpd server: http://nanotux.com/blog/the-ultimate-server/ I put quite a lot of time into writing that guide, but now I see that it's quite hard to get the word out about it..

[11:45] eeos: no [11:45] Oprtz: you have a line that says deb ... in that file [11:45] ikonia: hwat I am iterested in is to install a small par of ubuntu, so that kernel and rivers and ssh are working .... so not the whole ubuntu .... [11:46] how do i send my document as fax ? [11:47] ActionParsnip1: what to do dude ? [11:48] Anyone have issues with firefox crashing , out of memory & NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE ?

[11:49] anyone knows how can i map the function key in my laptop to act as super button (windows key)? [11:50] what program can i use to show sound levels in music? [11:50] ActionParsnip1: wow its working now, updating ...... thankks buddy [11:51] Oprtz: yeah that line was breaking stuff dude [11:52] ActionParsnip1: i c [11:52] hey guys i need some help i have a computer with 1 hard drive with windows vista on it and i want to put my other hard drive which has xp and ubuntu on it now i was wondering.. will the grub bootloader take over the vista one? [11:52] so what can i use? [11:52] ikonia: sorry, my keyboard is giving up .... what I am interested in is to install the core of ubuntu, so that kernel and drivers and ssh are working .... so not the whole ubuntu, in particulars no dm's .... [11:53] Somethief: as long as the bios points to the drive with grub on yes [11:53] Someoneis, it depends how your bios treats the drive. If you hook it up as a secondary/slave drive it should boot the master first. [11:53] Someoneis, which would be vista. [11:53] Somethief: you will need to add options to grub to boot the extra drives etc [11:53] eeos: thats not really very practical, as you need a fair bit to make a base install, +ssh, I suggest you install the normal desktop install and strip out things like X11 to make it more to your needs [11:53] oh the ubuntu one will be set as the slave drive.. what will happen then? [11:53] Someoneis, Some bioses behave wierdly though and just choose a drive that makes no sense. [11:53] eeos, looks like you want an ubuntu server + openssh-server [11:53] Someoneis, it would just boot vista and ignore grub. [11:54] histo: depends on the bios, most newer bios let you explicitly define which drive, the whole primary master == boot is way aold skool [11:54] ikonia: ZeroA4: the point is, I have to install from remote [11:54] Someoneis, if you want ubuntu you can have hte ubuntu/xp drive as a the master and just add vista in grub. [11:54] eeos: you can't, I thought we established that [11:54] eeos, from remote how? [11:54] anyone knows how can i map the function key in my laptop to act as super button (windows key)? [11:54] ok cool but i need to know can i have 3 partitions on 1 drive? [11:54] Someoneis: sure [11:54] yea [11:54] ActionParsnip1, thats the point I was making. I'm from way back and determining which drive would boot back then was trivial depended a lot on the bios. [11:54] you can have up to 11 partitions on same drive [11:54] ok im not sure how because the options r crossed out.. [11:55] histo: oh totally, i remmeber those days [11:55] histo: some new boards even moan if their is a HDD as slave and an optical drive as master [11:55] Anyone around that can help me with some research ? [11:56] Arceye: this is a support channel [11:56] Arceye: please try to keep on a support topic [11:56] !ot | Arceye [11:56] Arceye: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:56] I am asking about ubuntu [11:56] ikonia: ZeroA4: by launching a delayed script that installs the kernel, the drivers, the lsb, and then ssh and then reboots .... the computer has access to the internet .... why should it not be possible? [11:56] Arceye: support questions only [11:57] with the one with xp and ubuntu can i switch the boot loader to boot the widows boot loader because i want to do something plus i want to get this third partition in so i can install windows 7 beta [11:57] eeos: ughhhh because you can't interact with the install CD like that [11:57] eeos: you'd have to make your own install routine cd - which is not an ubuntu CD [11:57] Arceye: if its to do with you having an issue with your ubuntu software / config then it is ontopic, everything else is dealt with in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:57] asking about support if ubuntu will work with the hardware I am thinking about buying [11:57] !hcl | Arceye [11:57] Arceye: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:57] ActionParsnip1: too quick [11:57] Arceye: buy smart and you will have fewer issues [11:58] ikonia: thats what my gf says ;) [11:58] can i run stuff off a slave drive such as windows? [11:58] trying to buy smart hense coming here and wanting to ask questions :) [11:58] Arceye: good lad, get stuff that works out of the box and you're laughing all the way to the bank [11:58] eeos, your delayed script should put an CD on the driver, boot the computer from de CD, manually chose the options to install and manually partition, and manually install ssh before you could acess remotelly [11:58] can anyone tell me a program that gives sound levels of music? [11:59] sure [11:59] goldwave [12:00] ikonia: ZeroA4: I do not want to use the cd at all .... I would download the image on partition of the hd, mount it as cd, and then what I said before. As you know the cd is not the only way to install ubuntu. [12:00] eeos: then why are you asking if it's possible ? [12:00] ok guys i will try and make a third partition [12:00] eeos: if thats your plan - do it ? [12:00] eeos, and how exactlly can your image mount survive the reboot needed to install ? [12:00] http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184 < lol [12:01] ZeroA4: it can't [12:01] ikonia, i know! looks like eeos dont! [12:01] ZeroA4: and how can you install from something without bootin an OS [12:02] ubuntu-desktop conflicts with splashy. developers dont want to use splasy with ubuntu or some other reason for that? [12:03] ZeroA4: it does do not worry, I have done it several times .... I never use the cd, always download the last image on a partition .... the point here is whether the ssh will restart among the services from the image or not .... [12:03] ZeroA4: possibly we are not talkng about the same thing? [12:03] eeos: if you set it up to - it will [12:04] ikonia: not that simple .... it you reboot from a local partition as if it were cd, then it is like booting a cd .... mmmm .... [12:04] eeos, if you never use the CD you are not installing ubuntu as an OS but as an program of another SO... like wubi? [12:04] what's a good HTML editor besides NVU? that keeps giving me segfault [12:04] eeos: yes it is that simple [12:04] eeos: if you set the iamge to autostart ssh - it will [12:04] ZeroA4: nope .... I am sorry there is plenty of documentation .... [12:04] Kartagis: any text editor, or scream maybe [12:05] ikonia: you have to modify the image then .... so it is possible .... [12:05] eeos: you cannot install ubuntu from a default ubuntu install - if you want to make your own install routine - sure [12:05] eeos, humm you tell grub to boot an .iso ? cool! but you still have to change the ubuntu iso to include openssh-server [12:05] eeos: but then that is nothing to do with ubuntu, that becomes your own project [12:06] hi, I'm running Intrepid and I'm having problems with configure scripts because bin/sh links to dash. Is it save to remove bin/sh and link it to /bin/bash or is it going to break other things? [12:06] ZeroA4: exactly hat is the point!:D [12:06] Question: is there a way to start and stop applications in Ubuntu automatically...? [12:06] eeos: so your question "can you install ubuntu remotely" the answer is "no" - your question "is it possible to make my own image to allow me to install ubuntu remotley2 the answer is "yes" [12:06] eeos, you have to remaster the ubuntu iso... there is documentation about it on the wiki [12:06] * eeos wonders about the meaning of the word flexibility === baek_thf is now known as baek_zco [12:07] Vista lets me use my camera as either a camera or a USB mass storage device.

You can check by doing ps aux | grep nm-applet [13:41] JuJuBee: it has a "crab" on the chipset [13:41] a931bw: use those repositories to be sure. Just follow that page to the letter [13:41] Hi... can anyone tell me where the Ubuntu theme music is so I can delete it? [13:41] sarmisak: I need Gig [13:41] chazco: why do you want to delete it?

[13:42] ziroday: I should do this in terminal right [13:42] THink I will do that. Thanks for the help. [13:42] chazco: what sound are you talking about? The drums? Or the "jungle sound" after you login? [13:42] mystery: yep [13:42] jrib - The longish one that plays after you login [13:43] jrib - The setting used to work, so i know its the right one...

See if using system -> preferences -> sound -> sounds -> login -> disabled works for the new user. [13:44] ziroday: Ok sure. how should i pastebin [13:44] jrib - It seems to work on this if i log out and back in again, but will play after a reboot. Will give that a go though. [13:45] sarmisak: how do you know that uses Realtek chipset? Even netgear website doesn't seem to tell that. [13:46] jrib - Same. Any other ideas? [13:46] JuJuBee: i told you, realtek's logo is a crab :D I just looked at the pictures [13:46] I can't tell that is a crab, pic is too small for my tired eyes. ;) Thanks for pointing that out for me. === pcascini is now known as paolo [13:47] chazco: what modifications have you made to your system? === paolo is now known as mrw [13:47] jrib - Some stuff installed from the repos (just the usual), no tweaks or anything else though.

I just installed ubuntu and now a process "/bin/dd bs 1 f /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klgd/kmsg" is using all my cpu. What is that? [13:48] chazco: well I'm able to disable that sound here. I though it might be a permissions issue but if it happens with a new user, then that's ruled out. As a workaround you can probably just tell it to play some non-existant sound [13:49] mrw: there's a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com about it [13:49] afsyahhabibie [13:49] ertikto: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question? [13:49] jrib - Yep, may try that. The setting remains in the Sounds dialog, so its getting saved somewhere, so dont think its a permission fault [13:49] jrib: ok.. thanks. can i kill it? [13:50] mrw: I have no idea, read the bug report and comments [13:50] jrib: it seems to be down (bugs.ubuntu.com [13:51] mrw: not here [13:51] jrib: ok now it works (very slow) but i cannot find it [13:52] i'm here [13:52] I am not able to open windows shared folders.

[15:37] dual, I impa because I can access them from multiple terminals, work office laptop and keep them on the server until I delete.. Kinda handy [15:37] uhm ?

[16:15] mattgyver83, it's cool. [16:15] hwilde, Pici: perfect, that's what I needed to know. [16:16] Adam_, sudo updatedb then locate XBMC [16:16] server irc.efnet.org [16:16] Hello all.

[16:17] hwilde: when i 'locate xbmc' it still lists a lot of files [16:17] hwilde, got my network back up but it looks like it runs hardy. go figure, do you think the live cd might have the php5-dev package? [16:17] Adam_, yep but that is better than "picking thru directories" to find stuff. use hte locate command [16:18] mattgyver83, livecds dont have -devs [16:18] hwilde: THAT'S TRUE [16:18] caps sorry [16:18] Ivanhoe, you can change the console fonts if you want [16:18] !console [16:18] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I'm hoping this package will include the "Java Web Start" app. Thanks [16:24] so i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.1 and I've never used linux before. I was wondering if I could get some help on basic installation of programs [16:24] Is there a way to get rid of having to give the password everytime to see a crash report? [16:25] simplexio, I'll probably end up doing it that way even if I do it by gui first, but where do I find the gui? [16:25] Chewimal, if your new use Synaptic, System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager [16:25] What's especially annnoying is that the reports are shown once in the panel and once in the original program. [16:26] ramiro: no idea.. havent see one [16:26] Chewimal: Click on Application -> Add/Remove programs [16:26] There is no point in telling it to me twice. [16:26] hwilde, pici: locate works great, thanks for the help guys, got itall.

Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [16:27] LOL [16:27] * hendrixski loves the bot [16:27] Chewimal: I'm not sure if its in Add/Remove, but it should be in the Synaptic Package manager. Or just do: sudo apt-gt install nicotine on a terminal.

[17:57] dmi3on, you try using firefox, i think most use http://192.168.1.1 [17:58] Hi all! I got a problem with Pidgin. For some reason I accidentaly removed a group of contacts. But in vista all the contacts are left, how can I get back all my contact in the list? :P [17:58] JohnAnderson`: no problem :D [17:58] roger_, never did it before i did once this and it was like year ago, i need lots of help [17:59] so basically delete everything off my ext hd and put then repartition it? [17:59] AXZ: did you see that link? [17:59] you will be asked for login for your router, that i can't tell you, refer to user manual maybe [17:59] vigo, yes [17:59] Okee dokee [17:59] JohnAnderson`: you can change it some to hav a custom logo, read the bash script and explore the folders, I used it for a Mac clone [17:59] dmi3on, Info on setting up port forwarding is router specific and you would need to research that for your hardware. NOt hard, just hardware speciific instructions [18:00] !portforward > dmi3on [18:00] dmi3on, please see my private message [18:00] does anyone in here know how I might add syntax highlighting for another language in gedit? [18:01] Quick question, In Synaptic, the 180 nvidia modules/whatever, are those the latest drivers? [18:01] Ean: try #pidgin [18:01] Jerrr: yes, the latest available in the repositories [18:01] Jack_Sparrow, i need to cofigure router right ?

I know that this has been somewhat spoken about, however this only started to occur after a software update. Please help. Thank you [18:04] has anyone tried shiftfox? i gave it a shot today and i did not see the difference i expected. not to mention that it did not find the flash plugin [18:04] note no settings have changed whatsoever. my dual boot into winblows works fine so there's nothing wrong with the NIC(s) [18:04] hey ubuntu_first_tim did u find out the answer yet [18:04] hello [18:05] I can ping the IP addresses (used the IP for IRC to log on here) [18:05] Guest13752, ubuntu 8.10? and ati? and fglrx? [18:05] tritium : When I install the 180, it doesnt give me full use of my monitor or its native resolution; how would I fix that? [18:05] trippss: Does `dig @208.67.222.222 google.com` return any results? [18:05] hello ubuntu_first_tim [18:05] i tryed to get on my pc this morning and my mouse and keyboard were unresponsive and my screen of course was black due to power setting being turned on so i couldnt see if it was frozen or it was just my mouse or keyboard acting upany ideas as to what might have been the issue also is there a error log of sorts that i can look at? [18:05] Guest13752: This is called a kernel panic. Typically, it is caused by something in kernel space doing something it's not supposed to ie. a driver [18:05] lo all. i have a huge problem right now, got a flight to catch in a couple horus and i need to get this display working. im booting up the ubuntu live installer, it displays the ubuntu progress bar, but then shows nothing on my lcd monitor. the lcd is a dell widescreen 19inch. its optimum is 1440x900. ive used this display to install ubuntu before [18:05] tripps, look at http://www.opendns.com/ [18:05] trlalt- and ctrlalt+ do absolutly nothing too [18:05] hello, i want to install a network printer over ipp. the problem is the verification. i can only type in a password, the username is set default to my ubuntu-username, but i need to use a different one for the printserver... [18:05] Can it be a problem with the wireless driver? [18:05] Guest13752: So which driver modules do you use for your hardware? Yes [18:06] any thoughts on how i can change it? apparently, even xrandr isnt working [18:06] Jack_Sparrow, i am not on local network [18:06] Guest13752, I have seen a couple of these that were network card related. But I dont have any answers, merely an observation [18:06] Guest13752: It can definitely be a wifi driver [18:06] Also why would it only occur after the software update? [18:06] anoyone know if it's possible to get the gnome terminal to flash in the taskbar when hilighted in irssi? [18:06] Pici, yes it does [18:06] Pici, that's the opendns server right? [18:07] dmi3on, is your modem also a router? is ther a router at the other end of the remote setup? [18:07] trippss: yes. [18:07] It is an intel wireless card [18:07] Pici, ok using that server in /etc/resolv.conf by putting it in manually [18:07] when I run rsync to backup my home dir to an external usb drive, the system freezes completely about half way through... any ideas why? [18:07] I dont know anything more than that. I am very new to Linux ( as long as it gets me away from Vista. I just want to learn) [18:08] Guest13752: It may be a different version of the kernel with the same driver, a different version of the driver with the same kernel or that both have been upgraded. If you feel comfortable doing so, you could get the source code and compile a later version of the wifi driver yourself [18:08] lvlefisto: Oh, thanks. -.- :P [18:08] Jack_Sparrow, at office is 16 computers connected to one router and ISP (no server) at home i have ubuntu and linksys wireless router [18:08] any idea why ctrl-alt-- doesnt mak the resolution lower, and why trying two monitors even, the x desktop will not appear === _Lucretia__ is now known as _Lucretia_ [18:08] has anyone tried shiftfox? i gave it a shot today and i did not see the difference i expected. not to mention that it did not find the flash plugin [18:08] Pici, is there a way to use those DNS servers even when connecting dhcp across the system? [18:08] trippss: If you add the line: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.222.222; to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf you will not have to modify /etc/resolv.conf again. [18:09] Pici, ah excellent [18:09] Guest13752: But it is important to understand what exactly is causing this first. I recommend unloading the wifi driver as soon as you boot and use the pc for awhile to confirm this is in fact the problem [18:09] I have a question on the unlock login keyring [18:09] I am not even close to building my own driver yet [18:09] if you don't know your password and it's preventing you from using ssh, how do I reset the password/ [18:10] sudo passwd (username) [18:10] Guest13752, where are you from [18:10] soreau, I had the same problem for a long time, I just flipped the power switch on my wifi card and I never saw that error again [18:10] Chicago [18:10] anyone have any guesses [18:10] Anyone know how to get a sound card not supported by asla working? Ubuntu reconizes it with aplay -l and lpsci [18:10] epictetus: well it won't take my login password at all, the one that works with sudo. [18:10] hatter243: I'm not the one with the problem ;) [18:10] any idea why ctrl-alt-- doesnt mak the resolution lower, and why trying two monitors even, the x desktop will not appear [18:11] I have literally only been running linux for about a month now [18:11] if tht [18:11] Guest13752: Ok, do you know how to use pastebin? [18:11] Jack_Sparrow, are you here yes on both sides there are routers [18:12] I ssh to an ubuntu machine, but I get "Connection reset by peer" after some minutes, it only happens when i'm running top, any idea?

It's ok with VirtualBox! Thanks a lot to people who helped me! :)) [18:17] Guest13752: So first, open a terminal (Apps>Accessories>Terminal) and run this command 'lspci' and pastebin the output. This will show which modules are loaded on your system and I can tell you which one to try and unload to narrow down the problem [18:17] jim_p, Hi, what's up! :) [18:17] ! pastebin | Guest13752 [18:17] Guest13752: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[18:20] it'll probably ask you for the old pw though [18:20] jim_p, but if you didn't install additions it doesn't works good.. [18:20] Katangawise, lol, true [18:20] the only other way I know of to "fix" that is to boot into single user mode or init=/bin/bash, mount the filesystems by hand, then use passwd to reset them as root [18:21] I have a dual head setup and when adding things onto the panel on the second screen nothing happens.

Wasn't 2.6 released in, like, October? [18:27] Katangawise, did you remove network manager as i (may have) suggested? is the module for your wireless loaded? [18:27] malibu: so? [18:28] no help :( [18:28] dmi3on, port forwarfing in the home pc [18:28] Jeruvy: So.. how long does it take to put a package on the repo? [18:28] ok [18:28] !latest | malibu [18:28] malibu: 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. === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [18:28] malibu: great question for the maintainer :) [18:28] there are apps to connect to remote systems, for that [18:28] jim_p, remove network manager? but i must have some maneger, no? Modules looks ok... [18:28] jim_p, at home i can do what ever i whant at work i dont whant change any settings in router [18:29] jim_p, do you want to see my xorg stuff i can pastebin it?

I just want it because it has features that I need [18:29] where can i configure (add/remove) virtual terminals. (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, F3) [18:29] jim_p: I'm not exactly a huge fan of network manager myself, but giving advice to uninstall it, you better be in it for the long haul after having someone remove it ;) [18:29] jim_p, now i am at work can you tell me what i need to install and set on vista computer please [18:30] Katangawise, remove nm and install something else like network-config. and please pastebin your lspci -k [18:30] Anyone know how to get a sound card not supported by asla working? Ubuntu reconizes it with aplay -l and lpsci [18:30] malibu: ubottu is a bot. [18:30] dmi3on, give me some time ok? is the vista pc the one that connects TO the other one? [18:31] <|911> anyone belkin wireless g fd7050 install?? need the help, thx [18:31] malibu: then you can 'manually' download it or wait until the maintainer releases an update. btw ubottu is a bot. [18:31] janelle, sure [18:31] do i have to enable additional repositories (other than defaults) to get enlightenment desktop manager? [18:31] how can I convert .raw movie file to for example .ogg?

[18:31] Pici: Yeah I don't get the whole bot thing [18:31] I want to know if it works with linux [18:31] spydon, ffmpeg [18:31] malibu: it responds to triggers.

[18:31] malibu: 8.10 was released in October, if python 2.6 was also released then, then there is very little chance of it being included in the release. [18:31] Any ideas? [18:31] jim_p, i have no idea how to do it :( what i want is to control vista using ubuntu take your time when you have a chance just PM me [18:31] thanks [18:32] jim_p, yeah, but with which parameters? [18:32] spydon, install a gui then like avidemux [18:32] Pici: Marginally off-topic, but what's ubottu written in? Perl? Python? [18:32] Bah, it was only like 3 lines, I didn't mean to flood ;-) [18:32] jim_p, here you go http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m11b48949 [18:32] pici: Oh is that how it works. [18:32] ASULutzy: Python. /msg ubottu info supybot and /msg ubottu botclone for more info [18:33] malibu: Yes, we are not a rolling release like debian is. [18:33] dmi3on: You'll need to enable remote desktop on the vista machine, then you can just use either remote desktop viewer or terminal server client in Ubuntu to connect to it. The vista machine, if behind a router, will need to have port forwarding setup properly. If this is not possible, there are solutions that work through port 80 that lots of companies use [18:33] Is an anti-virus suite required in ubuntu 8.10? [18:33] jim_p, thx === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [18:33] Pici: well I guess i shouldn't develop for Python 2.6 then...

[18:34] janelle, line 444 and below is full of errors [18:34] jim_p, if i remove the nm, i'll lost my connection.. Thats meen that i wouldn't install something else..Am i wrong?

Or do I have to install extra's? [18:35] jim_p, ok :)) [18:35] hexilum: wine applications don't have enough access to break things normally. [18:35] does anyone have a clue why web browsing in firefox and opera is so extremely slow in ubuntu 8.10 [18:35] hm... says enlightenment is in universe repositories... i have them enabled and updated, but get the "referred by another package" message. what am i missing? [18:35] Jerrr: It is normally standard in the "internet" section. If not, just search for "remote desktop" in add/remove progs. [18:35] so the ClamAV virus scanner is pointless? [18:35] hexilum, there is only around 1% of the world that uses linux, 99.9% of viruses targets windows operating systems [18:36] dmi3on: On vista enabling remote desktop, I'm not too sure... Just google it, then connecting to the machine from ubuntu, just click applications ->accessories -> terminal server client (or remote desktop viewer) I'm not sure if terminal server client is installed by default, I think it'd be sudo apt-get install tsclient [18:36] k [18:36] how can i extend my ext3 partition [18:36] ASULutzy, OK [18:36] wassy121 : Sweet Thanks, I am going to try this tonight. I would love to be able t owork on my Ubuntu machine from home. You good with drivers? My video card driver only gives my monitor max resolution of 1024x768 yet its native resolution is 1440x900 [18:36] hexilum: wine will only have normal user permission, not root permission, unless you are silly and run it with sudo [18:36] how do I read non english font? this page is in bengali http://www.ittefaq.com [18:37] k gotchya :) [18:37] thanks [18:37] dmi3on: I'm sorry that file path wasn't right. It's applications -> internet -> terminal server client [18:37] Is it like VNC? Where I would run a server on my ubuntu machine and dial in from windows? [18:37] axisys: the webpage is broken, not the browser. They have some custom "IE-only" i18n hax in place. [18:38] Jerrr: Er, he's doing it the other way. Connecting to a Windows machine from an Ubuntu machine. If you wanted to connect to an Ubuntu machine from a windows machine and do it graphically, I don't know what you'd have to do, setup a VNC server I'm guessing [18:38] Jerrr: The app in ubuntu is for connecting to Windows machines via RDP. If you want to connect from Windows -> ubuntu, you need to set up the VNC server. [18:39] Jerrr: Although to be honest, if you are connecting to an Ubuntu or any other Linux machine, you can really do anything you need to do from the terminal, so I never bother with VNC, ssh is plenty :) [18:39] wassy121 : have you fooled around with FreeNX yet? [18:39] Yea, Im rather new still so GUI's are my friend :) [18:39] axisys: for proper i18n handling: http://www.aljazeera.net/portal [18:40] Jerrr: First I have heard of it. [18:40] wassy121: is there any workaround ? [18:40] i am using FF [18:41] Another question; my machine reconizes my sound card; when I type aplay -l its there, and lspci, its there. Yet I have no sound. When the machine starts up I hear something kick in yet there is no sound [18:41] axisys: yes, contact the website author and tell them to learn how to program. [18:41] My onboard audio is not supported by alsa, is there a work around to get sound? [18:41] wassy121: lol [18:41] i used router 1 week ago, but then i went straight to modem(i use adsl internet). Now i need to use the router aggain but i don't have internet when connect throught it [18:41] Jerrr: Hearing something "kick in" is probably your BIOS POST'ing, that's from a little speaker on the motherboard, not from your regular speakers, if that's what you're talking about [18:42] ASULutzy it wasnt post, I know what post is :), it was like a vibration inside my headset, then a low low low humming noise, when I turn my machine off it goes away [18:43] how can i extend my ext3 partition?

[18:43] Jerrr: I'm not sure what you're going to do if onboard doesn't support alsa, I would say buy a pci sound card, heck a soundblaster live or something can't cost more than 20 bucks if that at a computer store. You could always try oss, but I doubt that has any better support, but maybe? [18:44] etb: modifying the filesystem underneath existing data is always dangerous.

[18:55] Hello, I have an application source here that I want to compile but pkg-config tells me on configure that a required library version is too old. Now I have compiled the latest svn version of the respective library, but I don't know how to point configure/pkg-config to the location of the (not-installed) new library version. Can anybody help me out please? [18:55] ii put the rule in using iptables [18:55] its ubuntu server BTW [18:55] I don't think that was necessary for that situation, Pici [18:55] join ubuntu-fr [18:55] <|911> lol @ anyone cmd [18:56] how can i use vpn client? [18:56] predaeus: you normally can't do it that way. You have to install the updated library in most cases due to shared library linking. [18:56] |911: Explain the problem you are having, what you have tried, etc. Simply saying need help with xyz isn't useful. [18:57] <|911> just wondering if someone knows about wireless usb installations [18:57] neosuki: sudo apt-get install vpnc , then read the manual about it. I think network manager even has support for some VPNC stuff (not sure/don't use). [18:57] neosuki: Network manager makes it pretty pain free, you have to apt-get install a certain package depending on what kind of VPN it is, but after that simple [18:57] <|911> no internet on pc currently [18:57] I have some lib packages in .tar.gz format. How can I 'build' these stuff? How do I 'build'? Any tutorials? [18:57] <|911> and tried ndis_wrapper [18:57] ASULutzy: wassy121 I've installed tightvnc client [18:58] |911: Did you even read the trigger?

I'm confused :) [18:59] Can someone help me with a lamp on 8.10 desktop? Networking is confusing me a little. [18:59] ASULutzy: Sorry for the confusion... [18:59] i rebooted into recovery. did xfix. nothing. rebooting into recovery, did root mode, configured new xorg.conf, nada. nothing [18:59] dorgan: Yeah, but iptables-save just gives it to stdio, and you have to set up your own boot-time init script or whatever to read it back in (iptables-restore). ufw is similar in 'saving' the rules in /etc/ufw I think. [19:00] dayo_: it doesnt have such a file. it has files like build-all.py, Makefile etc [19:00] VectorM: it may be a problem with your framebuffer (has nothing to do with X). [19:00] dayo_: Any idea how I can do this? [19:00] ASULutzy: i've vnc client running whereas vnc server is running at the other end. I know the server's ip address [19:00] SingAlong: cd into the directory and type make [19:00] SingAlong: try perl Makefile.pl [19:01] how can i connect to the vnc viewer, so tht i can see his desktop [19:01] dayo_, SingAlong: .py is python, not perl. [19:01] SingAlong: The sofware should come with a README or INSTALL file, please look into that to see how to build it. [19:01] ASULutzy: sorry, missed that it was a .py file [19:01] VectorM: if you have bios settings regarding the display, you may want to fiddle with them a bit (especially if this is a laptop, which sometimes has framebuffer issues). === trae is now known as Guest66943 [19:02] SingAlong: yes, Pici is right. check the README and/or INSTALL for any possible prerequisites [19:02] neosuki: vncviewer is the command-line program, I am not sure if there is a gui-based vnc client program shipped with ubuntu. [19:03] wassy121, neosuki: tsclient can do it, (not sure if it's included in ubuntu by default) [19:03] neosuki: yes, tsclient is what I was searching for. add/remove programs, should be in universe repo. [19:03] intel wi-fi drivers works fine on intrepid? [19:03] neosuki: try sudo apt-get install tsclient, then go to applications -> internet -> terminal server client, and configuring it from there [19:04] wassy121: though my confusion is, in the first place will the vnc work in ordinary internet connection, with an assumption having dhcp in mind [19:04] neosuki: yes, vnc works over normal internet. === bonkit is now known as PeteM [19:04] neosuki: All VNC does is forward the display from one machine to another [19:04] ASULutzy: wassy121 tsclient work with vncserver also? [19:05] neosuki: Yes [19:05] I I have a problem with ALSA. For some reason it does not work. I already restarted and it did not help. Any hints? [19:05] neosuki: tsclient is a front-end for vncclient. [19:05] Hello [19:05] Sometimes I wish vnc would just go away, ssh is still and always will be, where it's at ;) [19:05] ASULutzy: thanks dude! [19:05] ASULutzy: neosuki, in Applications > Internet, there is also "remote desktop viewer", which is actually Vinagre, the vnc client for gnome [19:05] hi [19:05] wassy121: thanks dude! [19:05] I have the EXPI9301CTBLK Intel network card (PCI Express x1) and Ubuntu does not recognize the card. What can I do to install this card? [19:05] hey there guys [19:05] neosuki, oCean_: Yes, this too, I just have some weird bias for tsclient, don't really know why :) [19:06] neosuki: I would also try what oCean_ recommended [19:06] can i make it so that shift+spacebar or caps key on + spacebar gives me an underscore [19:06] Hi, ubuntu quite often freezes up the windows when I have many programs running, they get greyed out for 5-20 seconds, is it lack of RAM or the CPU that is overloaded? [19:06] dayo_: thank you! [19:06] ciao a tutti [19:07] !list [19:07] 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 [19:07] SingAlong: u're welcome :-) [19:07] ASULutzy: wht kind of server does the other end should run for me to see the desktop? [19:07] hello there [19:07] anyone [19:07] how many ram can an 32 bit ubuntu adress? 4gb + ? [19:07] ? [19:08] neosuki: Well, a VNC server. Alternatively, if they're running Windows, they can run remote desktop, and tsclient can be used to connect to that using RDP [19:08] i run it just 256MB [19:08] heh [19:08] wassy121: you say it maybe my framebuffer. i am able to see the boot text and stuff [19:08] syva: yes, but it is pretty complicated. You have to work with xmodmap and xev and whatnot. [19:08] Anyone? [19:08] would that matter [19:08] ASULutzy: thanks! but will port# matters? === JaZ969 is now known as Jaz969 [19:08] VectorM: right, but once it loads the framebuffer and gives the boot splash (if you have it set up), then it blacks out, right? [19:08] yes [19:08] wassy121: hmm okay, i;m suprised its not easier, seems like a pretty useful mapping [19:09] wassy121: yes. [19:09] yellabs: It's a bit tricky, but as a rule, if you're going to use more than 3 GB, I'd use 64, 32 can handle more with pae, but there's no real reason not to use 64, flash can be tricky, but is manageable [19:09] syva: it is a custom mapping, thus you have to write your own mapping file, and get that loaded properly. I haven't done it in years. === Jaz969 is now known as Jimmi === Jimmi is now known as Jimmeh [19:09] ASULutzy , thanks, very helpfull.. === Jimmeh is now known as Jimmie [19:10] VectorM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer - boot option "vga=normal" may solve it. === Jimmie is now known as Jimmi [19:10] yellabs: for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension === Jimmi is now known as `Jimmy [19:10] yellabs: 4GB minus some ram depending on pci devices and bios configuration [19:10] VectorM: or maybe 'nofb'.

[19:14] what is the name of intrepids default theme? [19:14] neosuki: when starting the vncserver "at the other and" you'll have to specify a display number [19:15] neosuki: this can be 1,2,3 ... and so on [19:15] oCean_: fine. but port# doesn't matter? [19:15] neosuki: well no. But the difference is that you (as user1) can connect to display 1, while user2 can connect to display 2, each using your own desktop [19:16] neosuki: rdp, is default port 3389 i think [19:16] oCean_: thanks for clarifying!

[20:48] eitreach: erm, ok: locate libswfdecmozilla.so [20:49] tritium: that link is the prob, I followed it, now it doesnt work anymore [20:49] Whitor: take a look at the output from "cat /proc/asound/cards" [20:49] jrib: still nothing. [20:49] damn. ubottu doesn't know anything about ext4 [20:49] also, second question: how do i sudo in the filemanager? [20:49] StuckMojo: it's not supported until the next release anyway. [20:49] eitreach: sudo updatedb && locate libswfdecmozilla.so === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [20:49] ok Slart checking now [20:50] tritium: yeah but usually someone will come up with a nice way to shoehorn it into whatever is current [20:50] avis: I asked you if you could run any commands with sudo... [20:50] noobem: you shouldn't need to [20:50] Whitor: I think that tells you what the first number should be [20:50] jrib: ? [20:50] \quit good nite guys! [20:50] noobem: you shouldn't need to sudo the file manager [20:50] tritium, yes i sure can from command line [20:50] jrib: wait, the previous one was good. here. http://pastebin.com/d39e68aee [20:51] avis: then there should be no reason you can't run synaptic [20:51] Slart, ok... yeah, it says 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel followed by HDA Intel at 0xfe220000 irq 17 [20:51] jrib: when i try to copy files to /opt it says access denied [20:51] hi how do I start im-sensors I downloaded it [20:51] anyone know if there r any other options after getting this result from force command? mount: special device /dev/sdal does not exist [20:51] perillux: well, thanks but google on swat [20:51] noobem: what are you copying there? [20:51] eitreach: dpkg -S /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so [20:51] Whitor: so the first number should be 0.. since that is the card number iirc [20:51] perillux: and sorry I couldnt be of much help ;) [20:51] jrib: eclipse [20:52] Lokiase: then try undoing what you did, step by step [20:52] Whitor: I think the second one is which pcm you want to use.. [20:52] noobem: eclipse is in the repositories. Do you know about synaptic? [20:52] jrib: i'm used to win. dunno where to put packages like that. /opt not the place? [20:52] tritium, well, synaptic isn't accepting my users password (which is the same i use to execute a sudo) i've typed it over and over to make sure i got it right. there has to be a file that saves the password for that, thats different from my user password [20:52] tritium: so I did, and then I asked the question here :) because that didnt solve the prob :s [20:52] Whitor: each card can have several pcms.. they act differently.. some only allow recording, some allow only playing sounds etc etc [20:52] avis: there's not [20:52] hi all [20:52] hi does someone know a easy and good fan program? [20:53] tritium, i will attempt to type my password correctly, one more time. [20:53] noobem: you don't install software by manually downloading stuff (or at least you try to avoid it whenever possible). Instead you use the repositories with the help of programs like System -> Administration -> Synaptic [20:53] jrib: found only vanilla eclipse in synaptic. wanted to install the eclipse j2ee package [20:53] How do I find out what kind of wireless card I have? [20:53] Elmnas: lmsensors [20:53] hi all! I just finnished my first linux game. I created a .deb file and I would like to include it under the official ubuntu repository. What should I do? [20:53] noobem: ok, well 'gksudo nautilus' then [20:53] nightrid3r I installed it but how do I start it? [20:53] Whitor: you can look in /proc/asound/card0/ for folders that are named pcmXp or pcmXc [20:53] jrib: yeah. i'm familiar with the concept. thoung not everything is available in synaptic [20:53] stanBR: ask in #ubuntu-motu [20:54] ok [20:54] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d7862fa42 [20:54] tritium, wrong. its definitely rejecting the *correct* password :/ i'll ask around later maybe someone else will know. i can adminster my system from the command line thats alright by me [20:54] Whitor: the ones with a p on the end are for play sound.. the ones with c on the end are for Capturing sound [20:54] stanBR: is it in your ppa? i'd like to have a look :) [20:54] jrib: needs to be launched from terminal you mean? [20:54] Slart, Ok... you've given me a lot to work with... I'm going to back and mess around [20:54] avis: no, not wrong. There is *no* file that stores a separate password for synaptic. [20:54] Absutely not. [20:54] noobem: or press alt-f2 and type it there, yeah [20:54] Slart, tyvm [20:54] Elmnas: it start automaticaly when you boot, all you need now is get a readout tool like krelm [20:54] Whitor: understanding alsa isn't something you do in a 20 minute session =) [20:54] okay, this IP table stuff confuses me [20:54] laurielegit: I can upload it to my server. Wait a sec :) [20:54] jrib: brilliant! Cheers! [20:55] how can I set up skim ? I installed it, but control-space doesn't bring up anything when typing . [20:55] tritium, ok. understood. well, irregardless of that fact, when my system wishes to update through a gui, i can't do anything about it [20:55] Whitor: browse around in the /proc/asound folder.. there are lots and lots of info.. files are mostly just text so you can just read them if you want [20:55] krelm ok [20:55] where is my hero Jack_Sparrow? [20:55] Busy [20:55] noobem: sudo aptitude purge # [20:55] booo [20:55] noobem: erm, sorry, ignore that [20:55] Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0? [20:56] avis: sorry to hear that. That's puzzling. [20:56] eitreach: sudo aptitude purge swfdec-mozilla [20:56] TheFunkbomb, Best to leave them alone anyhow unless you need to do something in particular [20:56] I cant find krelm nightrid3r [20:56] jrib: the eclipse j2ee package [20:56] Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to configure the firewall to allow my gmail === DS-Away is now known as DarkSmoke [20:56] noobem: hmm? [20:57] jrib: ops. sorry. read scrollback question :) [20:57] jrib: done. :) Now what? [20:57] TheFunkbomb, There is no need for that. I have gmail and did not edit my iptables [20:57] server irc.rizon.neyt [20:57] opps [20:57] eitreach: ls -l # [20:57] TheFunkbomb, Gmail has a tutorial on setting up thunderbird etc [20:57] laurielegit: You may download it at http://insanerzshooter.googlepages.com/insanerzshooter_0.1_i386.deb and then install it using "dpkg -i insanerzshooter_0.1_i386.deb". This was my first game using C++ and SDL, so its kinda simple... ;) [20:57] just getting use to typing on this [20:57] Jack_Sparrow, I have gmail manager for Firefox [20:58] eitreach: ls -l /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so (pastebin keeps messing me up) [20:58] TheFunkbomb, Read the gmail tutorials [20:58] stanBR: thanks, i'll try it out [20:58] i can't install nvidia drivers on 8.10, it always gives me an error when i restart [20:58] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [20:58] np [20:58] 004 [20:58] Slart, thanks again ... amking progress [20:59] Whitor: you're welcome [20:59] anyone knows if ubuntu blocks SYN packets by default [21:00] lotuspsychje: I don't think ubuntu blocks anything by default [21:00] jrib: one moment. [21:00] Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0? [21:00] slart: my virtulbox crashes after running SYN packets [21:00] Insanelogger: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [21:00] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d42661c4e [21:01] eitreach: ls -l /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so (pastebin keeps messing me up) [21:01] so does wine [21:01] where's the apache accesslog located [21:01] laurielegit: let me know if it worked on your system. This was the first time I created a .deb file... [21:01] jrib: no such file. [21:01] hi folks [21:02] lotuspsychje: can you explain that again.. "running SYN packets" ? recieving them? sending them? [21:02] does someone know a good chassi fan controller? [21:02] etb: /var/log/apache2 [21:02] eitreach: good. restart firefox [21:02] slart: sending them [21:02] :p [21:02] i need help with compiz [21:02] Hi all [21:02] er, pardon [21:03] I tried installing linux-rt to no avail (something about not being able to be configured), so now I'm trying to remove it (it partially installed or something) and I'm getting errors when trying to remove "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-3-rt" (I can provide exact errors if needed) [21:03] saj: prefs/appearance, effects off :)) [21:03] <|ntegra|> !networkmanager [21:03] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [21:03] lotuspsychje: doesn't sound like normal behaviour.. do you get any kind of error messages? [21:03] !nvidia [21:03] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/105323/ [21:03] slart: no virtualbox and wine just crash feels like some kind of tcp/ip patch like the eventid for xp? [21:04] jrib: seems like it's working - thank you kindly. [21:04] offtopic but ive found out how to get wine full screen apps to show properly with compiz enabled.. wine config, turn off "allow window manager control windows" in graphics.. [21:04] slart: you think there might be a limit on half open connections on ubuntu? [21:05] eitreach: no problem [21:05] lotuspsychje: I have no idea about xp and it's problems, sorry.. [21:05] What's the difference between Debian and Ubuntu? What is added to Ubuntu? [21:06] lotuspsychje: there might be a limit somewhere.. but I don't know enough about it to say for sure [21:06] !debian | Squideshi [21:06] slart: ok tnx anyway for the reply [21:06] Squideshi: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [21:06] is there an app to see what folders are using up hard drive space....like in a chart....???.... [21:06] thanks, mine is an old ati rage mobility p/m agp 2x card [21:06] Squideshi: ubuntu customised it to make more friendly for less advanced people [21:06] eighthour: accessories -> disk usage analyzer [21:08] I connected an extra monitor to my laptop but whenever I try to close the lid Ubuntu gets in suspend mode, where can I disable this please? === sean is now known as Guest62458 [21:08] jrib: thanks, but i was looking for more of a breakdown....like where the bulk usage is.... [21:08] system/preferences, power manage [21:09] eighthour: it does that, doesn't it? [21:09] i am using xubuntu am i in the right place here? [21:09] eighthour: just sort it by size.. [21:09] gotcha....thanks....trying to do some cleaning.... [21:09] Cakarakoo-> usually laptops have a switch that when you close the lid it puts it in sleep mode, look around the hinges, i doubt it if you can disable that [21:09] saj: there might be some channel specializing in xubuntu but you can ask here too [21:10] I was called by a network administrator saying I had caused a 'logical loop' and shut down my Internet access [21:10] does anyone know what I would need to disable? supposedly some gateway thing [21:10] Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0? [21:11] maximus_1: logical loop? sounds like someone needs a weekend course in people skills.. [21:11] Insanelogger: ask your question and find out [21:11] what is the difference between normal booting and init=/bin/sh in bootarguments [21:12] anyone know if there r any other options after getting this result from force command? mount: special device /dev/sdal does not exist [21:12] sh2: init=/bin/sh will drop you straight into a shell, it's really just for extreme emergencies when nothing else is working [21:12] So, can anyone disable the suspen mode when closing the lid of a laptopo? [21:12] Is there a place to place bounties on desired development in Ubuntu? [21:12] maximus_1-> sounds like you had a spare cable from a switch connected back to the router and things are getting in a loop? [21:12] and normal booting where you get a init [21:12] what is the purpose? [21:12] Cakarakoo: system -> preferences -> power management have an option? (I can't remember) [21:12] n8tuser: don't modern switches detect that and disable those ports? [21:13] why do we need init. instead of just a shell === ajp is now known as AngelFace [21:13] Slart -> they should have that, but who knows if its activated [21:13] hello? anyone there? [21:14] hello im prolly as nube as you can get when it comes to linux and im trying to get my nvidia drivers working on my PPC any sugestions? [21:14] sh2: man init [21:14] hi i can help you yo [21:14] anyone here ever installed ubuntu on a google search appliance box? 12gig ram, quad xeon, 250gig raid1+0 [21:14] excellent [21:14] okay, after turning on the firewall, my internet has gotten so slow [21:15] how do I undo it?

[21:17] TheFunkbomb -> curious, can you paste the results of sudo iptables -vL [21:17] emil__: turn off comiz and also try running the applicaiton in a virtual desktop [21:17] TheFunkbomb: can you still access regular sites? [21:17] that way your taksbar remains but does not affect the applcation [21:17] Slart, no and n8tuser I'll try [21:18] i just restarted after installing nvidia-glx-177 and my screen went to 800x600 when it's usually 1280x1024. it gave me an error and then asked me to run in low-graphics mode (i did it now), reconfigure the settings, or troubleshoot the error. the driver in "hardware drivers" is set to "activated" [21:18] my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast. [21:18] redvamp128: compiz? [21:18] emil__: under the wine- configure wine -- then graphics should see the option there [21:18] TheFunkbomb: I think the default deny option means you have to manually allow network traffic that should be allowed.. so you need to start allowing everything you want to use [21:18] http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m36ed3db4 n8tuser [21:18] Hey I really need help reverting my computer.

To pull this off, I'm going to install everything on a different computer, copy all the data over, and then move the HD's into the old server. My question is this: Are there any problems moving an Ubuntu HD from one machine to another? I'd presume the answer is no (it would be yes for WinXP), but I just wanted to check. [21:24] yaris123456789: there are lots and lots of examples out there.. sed has been around for a long time [21:24] so sed "s/i/sundays/mondays/g" bigfiletxt > newfile.txt [21:24] right n8tuser...so "sed s/sundays/mondays/g" filename > newfile [21:25] I just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and my sound no longer works.

Also, Ubuntu doesn't support php4 [21:40] laggerbear: i like vlc [21:40] no one? [21:40] zoddan: you can repair grub [21:40] guntbert: that was not my question [21:40] guntbert: he doesn't want to do that apparently, thats why i just stopped responding to him [21:40] guntbert: my question is how i boot with a CD [21:41] nope slart ... i think the bios/firmware might be locked down [21:41] zoddan: I would just boot a live and fix grub from there [21:41] zoddan: just boot from the cd, choose the use ubuntu from cd option [21:41] american megatrends bios, munged by google [21:41] Slart: ok how? === andersfeder is now known as andersfeder|afk [21:41] !grub | zoddan [21:41] zoddan: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Or how to search for the available commands like that? [21:50] hello guys [21:50] zoddan: don't take this the wrong way.. it's not an insult.. it's just that I've seen these kinds of discussions before.. they usually end up with one person calling someone else some bad things and then the ban hammer falls [21:50] is there a bug that makes ubuntu run on the battery power instead of netpower? [21:51] Slart: i just want to boot my kernel with the help of a CD, whats not to understand? [21:51] can someone help me trouble shoot a bad nvidia card install [21:51] blue-printf -> what do you mean netpower? [21:52] zoddan: I'm not sure.. but several people here, including myself, don't understand what (or perhaps why) you want to do [21:52] after installing the nvidia driver through the restricted driver menu i restarted as asked now when i try and boot i get a black screen that ask me to log in [21:52] Slart: .. [21:52] n8tuser: uh the power from the poweradapter. sorry dont know the word [21:52] I'm trying to get dual-moniters working on my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron installation with an nVidia 8600 GT XXX. I have the latest nVidia binary drivers installed. And I read on the forums that it should be easy to configure with "gksudo nvidia-settings". But when I run it a program starts in the bottom bar with the caption "Starting Administrati..." and then it closes a few seconds later. Does anyone know why it would do this? (Both mon [21:52] plugged in through DVI by the way) [21:52] Slart: ok i have a working installation of ubuntu on my harddrive, ok? [21:52] zoddan: perhaps you could try to explain why you want to do this.. there might be another way.. [21:53] zoddan: ok [21:53] Slart: but grub wont start so i cant start my ubuntu. ok? [21:53] zoddan: ok [21:53] i have my laptop on the poweradapter cord but the laptop is using the battery [21:53] can anyone help me? [21:53] Why do I need to run my 'gconftool-2 --get' commands through dbus-launch? [21:53] Slart: o i have a Debian netinstall CD that i booted from, and im at the "boot" promt, ok? [21:53] blue-printf -> typically the brick power adapter charges your battery at same time powering your laptop [21:53] zoddan: so far, it's a common problem.. it happens for example when you install windows after you've installed ubuntu [21:54] Slart: so need the command fo how to start the kernel on my harddrive from that promt,,, ok? [21:54] zoddan: boot prompt? in grub? [21:54] Slart: i dont have windows [21:54] Slart: no not in grub [21:54] n8tuser: its discharging the battery [21:54] zoddan: in lilo? [21:54] Slart: when you but a Debian netinstall CD in you get to a promt [21:54] Slart: you can type "expert" or "rescue" and so on [21:54] zoddan: Right, that's a boot line. [21:54] ye [21:55] i need the command for the boot line to understand that it is suppose to boot my kernel thats on my harddrive [21:55] ok? [21:55] blue-printf -> that is odd, the brick is supposed to charge and power your laptop not to discharge the battery, did you check the brick if it has the correct output voltage? [21:55] zoddan: one sec... [21:56] after installing nvidia driver and restarting my computer will not start ubuntu now [21:56] how do i fix this [21:56] how do I restart alsa? [21:57] quentusrex: sudo alsa reload [21:57] or sudo alsa force-reload [21:57] n8tuser: its the original power adapter. i also tried one from another hp laptop [21:57] whats the command to run a search from a path in the console? [21:57] hope my hardware isnt defect [21:57] wann look for a highgui.h [21:58] blue-printf: does your laptop have LEDs to show the powerstatus? [21:58] blue-printf -> check the brick if it is really have any output, i have a few that dont have the output voltage, the xfomer is burn i guess [21:58] found the problem [21:58] tried a third adapter and its working now [21:58] zoddan: going to try this in a vm.. almost finished the download of the netinstall iso [21:59] damn need a new one again [21:59] aah !!! why does ubuntu find not any network when everything is set right, route looks OK, and on dhcp it works [21:59] thanx for the help anyway [21:59] cplusplus2 -> find man find [21:59] i get an error when i boot ubuntu "can't run module "type 1" (module does not exist)" or something similar. How do i fix this [22:00] MatBoy -> what network is it supposed to look for? [22:01] n8tuser: a local one, a debian box is working on it and a previous ubuntu install was too [22:01] what is the command to restart x after a config change in xorg.conf [22:01] how do i install module type1 [22:02] Slart -> i suspect thats a busybox command prompt, and so i suspect a "boot" with the correct params ? [22:02] Area300: if X is running, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. If not, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (assuming you're using GNOME) [22:02] rww: thank you i am on the latter [22:02] MatBoy -> is this wireless? ethernet? can you describe your network layout? [22:03] n8tuser: wired... to a route that is it's gateway [22:03] <[aw]> hey anybody familiar with the "timer not connected to IO-APIC" error? Ubuntu 8.10 wont install for me [22:03] anyway, you was so into fixing the grub... this i what grub says: [22:03] grub-install '(hd0)' [22:03] "/dev/sda5: Not found or not a block device" [22:03] n8tuser: weird is that is works on dhcp tho [22:03] grub-install /dev/sda [22:03] "/dev/sda: Not found or not a block device" [22:03] zoddan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:03] n8tuser: don't think it's busybox.. afaik busybox has ls and other commands available [22:03] that was only 4 lines, what is the problem? [22:03] I need to add BusID to both of my nvidia cards in the xorg.conf does anyone have any info on doing this that would help me please [22:03] Anybody know why a bluetooth mouse scroll wheel wouldn't work? [22:04] n8tuser: that is what grub says [22:04] !bluetooth [22:04] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [22:04] Ah. Thanks. [22:04] hello. Anyone know if there drivers for ati radeon hd 3850 AGP that work on Ubunutu [22:04] MatBoy -> maybe am not following, your box is getting an ip address? and have the correct route table entries but could not get very far? [22:05] n8tuser: on dhcp it works ok, bt when I set working parameters manually it doesn't [22:05] Area300: Not the information I need. The mouse works fine. The scroll wheel doesn't. [22:06] I wrote a 50mb partition onto a 150g drive; is there any software that can help me recover that data? [22:06] MatBoy -> am not really following you, on dhcp as oppose to what? what working parameters are you referring to? what command are you issuing? [22:06] n8tuser: it's using something called SBM.. Smart Boot Manager.. perhaps that's it [22:06] Hello ... I recently tried to change the deinterlacing method in my system settings, however, after rebooting my computer, the setting appears to be the same and the music has a different accent, and doesn't even work in some applications. Can I reset the configuration for Xine or have it reconfigure the soundcard? [22:07] Does anyone have any idea of a solution for my dual-moniter problem? [22:07] n8tuser: justa interfaces setup and a resolv.conf [22:07] justd efault stuff [22:07] portz: maybe your mouse needs a spcific driver to function properly [22:07] so basicaly i need to complile php4 from scratch? or is there a repository i can add to install it in 8.04? [22:07] Slart ahh okay, smart boot managers do have a list of commands too, i cant recall those command off hand at the moment [22:08] How much swap should I partition for with 4gb or RAM? [22:08] hey guys how you all doin [22:08] Area300: Didn't come with a drivers disk, I don't think. [22:08] n8tuser: hmm.. I just found a screenshot of SBM and it's more of a norton commander type of gui [22:08] guys does anyone know if there is an irc channel that deals with the email client Evolution? I've not had any luck finding one. :( [22:08] MatBoy -> its really hard to understand what you have done, can you kindly tell me what commands you issued? [22:08] mozzilla thunderbird [22:08] I can't seem to get Vinagre to exit fullscreen mode. Tried Ctrl-Alt, F11, F8, which i've seen listed around. Nothing works. Any ideas [22:09] Slart -> right, its like an old ncurses menu if i recall [22:09] "dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part 5 does not have any corresponding BIOS driver." [22:09] "dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS driver." [22:09] Hi all, I'm trying to setup automatic time correction on a Ubuntu box. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be able to connect to ntp servers. It's possible that those ports are blocked by an external firewall. Does anyone know of one running on port 80, or another work around? [22:09] n8tuser: ok, it seems that it can't ping the gatway [22:09] *gateway [22:09] so who knows where I can download wine 1.18 for 8.10 ubuntu intrepid? [22:10] I accidentally used CloneZilla to write a 50mb partition onto a 150gb disk -- is there anything I can do to recover data from the lost partition? [22:10] MatBoy -> would you like to step back a few and lets go over what you have done? [22:10] n8tuser: listen, I have a working debian install with the same settings [22:11] portz: i dont konw if it will work but this post is talking alot about your problam http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-355695.html [22:11] so, same switch, so I figure out WHY it can't ping the gatway [22:11] n8tuser: got any smarter? [22:11] MatBoy -> what commands you typed on ubuntu? [22:11] n8tuser: come on, I not a n00b, ping,traceroute, so on [22:12] hello! how i can recovery password for irc? [22:12] dimm: don't logout first !! [22:12] dimm: ask #freenode [22:12] they can help as long as you didn't logout [22:12] does anyone know if you can sync a Blackberry curve 8330 w/Ibex/ [22:13] zoddan -> nope, I doubt it if you can boot that bootloader and then point to another partition to pick up the rest..but you seem to be a good at boot loading, you can try anything [22:13] anyone know where to get wine v1.18 for ubuntu intrepid? [22:14] MatBoy -> one last time, what command did you use in ubuntu to check? other than ping, do you have an ip address? [22:14] Hi, do I have to reinstall my ubuntu-server system if i add more ram? [22:14] Dueland: no [22:14] figures, thanks :) [22:14] n8tuser: yes, sorry, I will figure it out my own... thanks [22:14] who knows how to install combat arms? [22:14] * MatBoy is getting tired of the same questions [22:15] n8tuser: what? [22:15] MatBoy -> you seem to have an issue with answering a simple question of what command you typed [22:15] I accidentally used CloneZilla to write a 50mb partition onto a 150gb disk -- is there anything I can do to recover data from the lost partition? [22:15] n8tuser: I told you man, maybe you should read better ? [22:15] Anyone have any ideas on how I might keep my system clock in sync when the standard ntp ports are blocked? [22:15] n8tuser: you are quite annoying in being right, sorry... [22:16] zoddan -> i dont believe what you're trying will work.. [22:16] Well, I found another mouse. Thanks anyway, Area! [22:16] n8tuser: what am i trying then? [22:16] hi [22:16] zoddan: I think he has smoeked something [22:16] *smoked [22:16] ? [22:16] MatBoy -> you can not answer a simple question of does your box have an ip address? [22:16] zoddan: you don; t know where he is talking about "trying" [22:16] so I take it no one here knows how to get wine v1.18? [22:17] zoddan: the boot loader is called isolinux [22:17] why do you need wine 1.18? [22:17] n8tuser: huh what has that to do with what I typed ?? yes it has !! as I said before, I can't ONLY ping the gatway [22:17] zoddan -> are you here to troll? i told you i dont believe what you're attempting will work [22:17] *gateway [22:17] How much swap should I partition for with 4gb or RAM? [22:17] n8tuser: you are seriously trolling and not reading well [22:17] n8tuser: ..... that was my atempt to fix grub but ok .....

[23:12] _S_S, dependng ont h program.. this may be VERY bad ideas :) [23:12] Bachiir: You might try changing the default action to perform when inserting a CD to "do nothing" [23:12] _S_S: or wait.. that doesn't work [23:12] My Ubuntu freezes everytime I Recheck a Torrent (I've tested with Deluge, Transmission and uTorrent (under wine)) [23:12] keep on getting "Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) [23:12] newserbunto: on /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common you did a DISABLED_MOULES='nv' [23:12] _S_S: awesomeprogram& && sleep(60) && pkill awesomeprogram there might be better ways though [23:12] <_S_S> sleep 60...those are seconds?

[23:13] <_S_S> would awesomeprogram& && sleep(60) && kill pidof awesomeprogram work? [23:13] BiscuitMan, grub shouldent be messing with XP at all..

[23:14] Jack_Sparrow: yes it is the primary display. [23:14] newserbunto: you may want to try to locate all your nvidia* that are on your system then [23:14] Bachiir: I'm not really sure. I remember seeing it before but I can't find it now. [23:15] _S_S: "ping www.google.com& sleep 10 && pkill ping" works [23:15] jp_sf: and remove them? [23:15] Bachiir: Try nautilus preferences [23:15] and also System > Preferences [23:15] newmember: I would suggest to install the drivers (install the x64 bits right) in console mode you know how to go in console ?

If you need more than four partitions, you can use one of those primary spaces to house a sort of box containing a bunch of extended partitions.

[23:48] robtp, yes. i belive ti does [23:48] robtp: Do you want me to check anything? [23:48] brk3: That would be the easiest. [23:48] robtp: yeah. The default installer puts swap on an extended partition. [23:48] Pici: what is the jaunty apt line.. maybe if i add it back in and do a complete upgrade.. [23:48] robtp, i tend to do 4 primaries. (Windows) (Windows Data) (Linux) (swap) [23:48] Hok: i'm not too sure what to suggest, first make sure the disk burned correctly with the built-in tool [23:48] comicinker: no, i just ran sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev [23:48] Anyone have any experience with installing PHPmotion(And all the stuff it needs) on ubuntu x86 desktop that would be able to guide me through it? [23:48] Hok: i have to run now, if the disk is good its something with your hardware configuration [23:49] robtp: Yes, I tried that, it is fine. [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: while booting after GRUB? [23:49] hey everyone, i need help connecting C# with mysql, i already installed mysql connector/net but i'm still getting an error [23:49] Can I change the position of avant-window-navigator, like on the side or on the bottom of a different screen while i'm using dualscreens?

[23:49] jef_untu1, Are you trying to do a fresh install? You were booting livecd right [23:50] is there an ubuntuserver channel? [23:50] brk3: This may be one of the cases where, if you don't know, it may not be a good idea to do so. [23:50] brk3, /join #Ubuntu+1 [23:50] xp_prg: #ubuntu-server [23:50] mizipzor: I just wanted to add that apt-get build-dep will download most of all needed development-packages of a program [23:50] xp_prg: #ubuntu-server exists, but we handle server questions here as well. [23:50] brk3, that is a bad idea [23:50] Pici: yes but im screwed at the moment anyway [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: i dont have much else to try [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: other than full reinstall [23:50] #ubuntu-server [23:50] i see, that may come in handy, so it would be "sudo apt-get build-dep libsqlite3-dev"? [23:50] So I tried getting around my nautilus/blank-CD woes (mentioned earlier, can repeat if you missed that) by running a terminal-based burning program, cdrecord. It, too, has failed: http://debian.pastebin.com/d8dd572e [23:50] I am going crazy trying to get my django python and just a simple cgi-bin to work, the django python overrides everything in my httpd.conf [23:51] I am on ubuntu-server 8.10 with apache2 [23:51] can anyone help me please? [23:51] !enter | xp_prg [23:51] xp_prg: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:51] I have a question about the Ubuntu install. I've had Windoze on my computer, but then it stopped working. Then I tried to install Ubuntu, and I get to the Disk Partioning section, and I press Guided. When I get to the installer it gets to 5% (on the second bar) then it gives me an error about writing the Ex3 filesystem. Anyone help? === zkinion is now known as thebleh [23:51] have the fiesty multiverse repositories been removed? i keep getting atp-get 404 errors [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: yes liveCD, the desktop iso file mounted and copied on a partition and iv booted into it now [23:51] if i have a pc which i want to install linux on (there is currently no OS on there) and i have a new graphics card to put in the box - do i need to install the card first, or can i just boot the machine with linux and configure it then? [23:52] Bachiir: you should use dev=/dev/dvd or something like that [23:52] Hok, You cant put ubuntu on ntfs if that is what you were trying to do [23:52] here is my config: http://pastebin.com/d4751a09d [23:52] ok one last question.. what is a good form of cp to back up my home dir [23:52] !compiling [23:52] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:52] !backup [23:52] There are many ways to back your system up.

[23:53] Jack_Sparrow: I was putting it on a desktop computer... I beleive it was FAT. [23:53] Hok, Cant do that either [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: Then what do I do? [23:53] Hok, ext3 is what you need or should use [23:54] runderwo, thanks :) - the box told me i needed windows and i was worried i would have to have windows, install the drivers and blah blah blah. i didnt know if the bios needed to have something done to it to recognise that device was plugged into the board [23:54] Jack_Sparrow: OK So what do I do when I get to the partitioning section? [23:54] Adam_: not usually, is it an ati or nvidia card? [23:54] Hok, is there a wndows install you are trying to dual boot with? [23:54] nvidia [23:54] jp_sf: and it seems to be working! fantastic [23:54] Jack_Sparrow: ok, but can you help me installing any linux from any other way if I dont have CD or USB key (only DVDs and USB HD) and my internal HD ^ [23:54] Adam_: nvidia takes a little bit of work to get 3d running, but 2d should come up with no problems. [23:55] jef_untu1, No.. Sorry [23:55] Jack_Sparrow: No, my windoze stopped working and said it was missing I file when it tried to boot. [23:55] ok :( [23:55] Adam_: the caveat being if it's a brand new chip that the ubuntu release didn't yet support. [23:55] thanks anyway [23:55] PC3200 ram backwards compatible with PC133? [23:55] diffNewuser: in console mode [23:55] diffNewuser: don't forget to stop your gdm if you switch in console mode === [NikO] is now known as nicolas__ [23:55] Hok, If you have nothing on the drive, tell the partitioner to use the whole drive and let it do its' thing [23:56] runderwo, ok great! i will pop the device into the MB and get to work when i wake up tomorrow :) [23:56] Adam_: g/l [23:56] Jack_Sparrow: I'm pretty sure theres nothing on the drive. I never removed windows though... It might still be there. [23:56] jp_sf: the drivers appear to be working : ) [23:56] runderwo, thanks for the assistance - i was planning on installing opensuse11.1 but the guy in that forum were of no help to me whatsoever! :) [23:56] Hok, the partitioner will create and format the new partition for you [23:56] diffNewuser: good sorry I was stuck on a laggy server [23:57] jp_sf: don't sweat it [23:57] diffNewuser: so now you have the 180.22 ? [23:57] Jack_Sparrow: OK... Then why won't it work when I try that? [23:57] Adam_: well, you'll soon find out if I was of any help :) [23:57] diffNewuser: or the 180 ? [23:57] Hok, are you telling the partitioning part of the program to use the whole drive [23:57] jp_sf: I think 180.22, although to be honest I'm not sure how to check [23:57] can someone help me figure out what is wrong with my samba configuration? I posted my smb.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/105374/ I can't connect to my share with any computer. Not even this one! [23:57] runderwo, i will be back like a little irc troll if you cause me any issues! :P [23:57] diffNewuser: dmesg | grep NVRM [23:57] Jack_Sparrow: Well, I just pressed Guided partitioning. I didn't change anything. [23:58] Adam_: [23:58] Hok, NOT guided.. [23:58] jp_sf: 180.22 drivers are indeed loaded! [23:58] diffNewuser: cool glad I could help [23:58] whois Adam_ [23:58] jp_sf: thank you so much, very little hair pulled out over this one! [23:58] Jack_Sparrow: Oh alright. I tried that too but it said there was no root folder. I'm not really sure about what to do once I get to the manual part. [23:59] diffNewuser: that the beauty of the community isn't it [23:59] jp_sf: it's a good thing [23:59] hok YOu dont need manual either.. there are two options left.. one is use entire disk [23:59] perillux: is the client NT-based?
