[00:22] When I use acpi then my wireless driver doesn't work.

[00:24] lifenova: still got empty list [00:24] Stargazer, a ppa from jdong [00:24] <_oax> rdz: and the manpage for open() doesn't say what O_EXCL is supposed to mean here. in fact it says that behavior is undefined what O_CREAT is not used with it [00:24] Bazhang... link ? [00:24] Stargazer, hang on a sec [00:24] When I use acpi then my wireless driver doesn't work. I have the Acer Ascpire 4530 which has an Atheros wifi chipset [00:24] rww: YOU ARE AWESOME!! [00:24] <_oax> rdz: so that's weird. anyhow, it's the kernel tells you that the device is in use. mkfs.ext3 isn't making that determination by itself [00:25] mib_1s4zr0: Yes, you're supposed to copy and paste this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/107144/) into that empty file that you have, and save it [00:25] (^^,) [00:25] _oax, i see.. thanks for helping [00:25] any clue on how to dictionaries up on ubuntu? [00:25] _oax, however, what could the kernel make believe, that the device is in use? [00:25] https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive Stargazer you know how to add repos? [00:25] Jack_Sparrow: ive concluded that i dont have xorg driver fglrx installed : he program 'aticonfig' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [00:25] apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [00:25] : [00:25] CyL: Applications -> Office -> Dictionary... if you hit edit and then prefs, I believe there is an option to add dictionaries [00:26] <_oax> rdz: hmm trying to figure out how to see who else has it open that the kernel would know about [00:26] How do you save your settings in Ubuntu so they are permanent? When I restart it resets everything? [00:26] felixsulla, using the livecd? [00:26] lifenova: thanks, but i was refering to system wide dictionary [00:26] felixsulla: Are you using the LiveCD? [00:26] _oax, on #lvm someone suggested removing modules. the thing is, that i don't have a clue which modules to be removed [00:26] CyL: ah, ok [00:26] It's a guest OS on Virtualbox. Gutsy Gibbon [00:27] <_oax> rdz: try fuser -m /dev/sdb1 [00:27] felixsulla, which is the guest and what is the host [00:27] lifenova: ok i've copy that then paste into my source list [00:27] _oax, the same thing goes for the entire drive: i tried creating several partitions, but icannot make a fs on all of those [00:27] <_oax> rdz: hmm fuser -m /dev/sdb [00:27] Ubuntu is the guest, Vista is the host [00:27] lifenova: i hope this solve my problem [00:27] mib_1s4zr0: I do too :P [00:27] _oax, i tried. but it doesn't give any output and after that it is still the same [00:28] When I use acpi then my wireless driver doesn't work. I have the Acer Ascpire 4530 which has an Atheros wifi chipset [00:28] felixsulla, you are installing into the vm or just test-driving ubuntu in the vm [00:28] so i ran dist-upgrade but lsb_release is still telling me im on gusty when i want to be on intrepid [00:28] I thought it was a full installation, .. is there a way to verify for sure? [00:28] Jack_sparrow i thought id let you know, i fixed my problem with grub by using a liv cd, backing up important files of course, and then fixing the grub through command window [00:28] lifenova: waaa... still cant solve.. should i restart my machine? [00:28] ned, you first need to go to hardy [00:28] mib_1s4zr0: type sudo apt-get install -f [00:28] marcos_, Glad you got it handled [00:28] bazhang, dist-upgrade -t hardy ? [00:29] mib_1s4zr0: sudo apt-get -f install* [00:29] !upgrade | ned [00:29] ned: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:29] yep, thank you though [00:29] mib_1s4zr0: with no asterix [00:29] ned read that link [00:29] i finally got my wireless to connect, but now it keeps disconnecting on its own, and then connecting again, is there a fix for this problem? [00:29] lifenova: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:30] ObiXidO -> which channel are you using? [00:30] felixsulla, if the os starts up with the iso file loaded or the ubuntu cd inserted then it is an install, I suspect you never disabled one or the other [00:30] <_oax> rdz: does dmsetup info give anything interesting? [00:30] what do you mean? [00:30] felixsulla, err without [00:30] Hi could someone tell me if I am typing in a foreign language please... [00:30] _oax, this is really a blocker, since it prevents me since two days to fix my server.... i would do it from a livecd if i would know how that works... there at least i can create a filesystem [00:30] mib_1s4zr0: do you have any other programs open that are accessing that folder? [00:31] leo, what is your real question [00:31] ObiXidO -> which channel is your AP operating at? 1 to 11 ? [00:31] lifenova: which folder? [00:31] mib_1s4zr0: /var/lib/dpkg/ [00:31] So, to make it a full install I'd want to disable the loading from ISO? [00:31] mib_1s4zr0: make sure you've closed the gedit window that you had your /etc/apt/sources.list file open in [00:31] * hours in the forums today and no one can tell me if there is a program that will translate some files into english for me.... [00:31] <_oax> rdz: yeah sorry i feel your pain. I'm actually in here asking a question myself, I'm not an ubuntu support volunteer myself. someone else might be able to help better [00:32] felixsulla, after it is installed yes; change it to boot from 'hard drive' instead of iso === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac [00:32] felixsulla, though obviously hard drive is a virtual one [00:32] leo, Tons of web pages can do it. [00:32] _oax, sorry. i wasn't complaining.. i am very grateful, that you were trying to help [00:32] lifenova: yes i've close all terminal and source list.. but got this msg E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [00:32] <_oax> rdz: but my approach would be to find out what makes the kernel think that a device is "in use" not allow it to be opened exclusively (i.e., with "O_EXCL") [00:32] leo, google translate [00:33] _oax, it's just that i am very surprised by this kind of problem.. [00:33] ok I will try that.... [00:33] mib_1s4zr0: can you post the exact contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file on paste.ubuntu.com [00:33] <_oax> rdz: the kernel must keep a map of devices that are in use and who is using them. the trick is getting that info out of the kernel. fuser looked like the right approach, but it seems to apply to userland only. "dmsetup" seems promising, did you try dmsetup info ? [00:34] _oax, i am still reading the man page [00:34] yello [00:34] !ot [00:34] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:34] i have no idea, how would i check that? [00:34] lifenova: the exact content before this is empty but then i paste it with the source list that u give me [00:34] felixsulla, yep [00:34] now back to my original question? Is there a PROGRAM that will do it for me...I am not pissed I am just trying to find out if there is a program I can download to do it... [00:34] Argh. I just got DHCP working :) [00:34] _oax, State: ACTIVE [00:35] mib_1s4zr0: post the contents again, I want to be sure you didn't paste anything else in by accident [00:35] _oax, does that mean it is busy?

[00:36] n8tuser, now it shows 83, for testing reasons i set it to linux in order to try mkfs.ext3 afterwards [00:36] rdz -> to make an lvm i believe it has to be 8e [00:36] n8tuser, but yeah, using fdisk works fine.. i can wipe and recreate the partition table and still have the same proble afterwards [00:36] lifenova: i've paste.. i gonna go to eat now [00:36] anyone? [00:37] thanks [00:37] mib_1s4zr0: post the link... [00:37] n8tuser, that is absolutely correct... the endresult should be 8e and a running lvm [00:37] Is there any way to get like a diff to show every package you've added to a default ubuntu install? Say for instance I wanted to remove every last package that didn't come with ubuntu, how could I go about that? [00:37] could anyone tell me how can I verify if a site-package got installed properly? [00:37] is there text-based audio player that shows list of songs in folder and can play all of them? [00:37] rdz -> dont you have to specify the type first before making a FS on it? === less is now known as more [00:38] n8tuser, yeah, yet i tried mkfs.ext3, not pvcreate [00:38] n8tuser, that is why i set it to 83 [00:38] n8tuser, however, neither works [00:38] rdz -> no no, i meant with fdisk or sfdisk you have to set to 8e and write then you can make the fs afterwards [00:39] im going to test danger deep with xorg driver fglrx [00:39] owen1: moc, cmus, a frontend to mpd? [00:39] <_oax> rdz: did dmsetup tell you that it was "ACTIVE"? sorry I was away and missed what you said before that [00:39] n8tuser, ah.. i understand what you mean: the initial problem was to create a lvm, but as it failed, i went for simple ext3 and that failed as well. that is the reason for the current state.. the end goal would still be lvm, setting it up the way you mentioned [00:40] brb [00:40] leo: do you mean something like this --> http://logos-os.dfki.de/ [00:40] _oax, yeah.. STATE: ACTIVE === exodus_m1 is now known as exodus_ms [00:40] Any idea where in virtualbox I'd change to the hard drive instead of the ISO [00:41] rdz looking at my notes, its seems the sequence is fdisk or sfdisk ; select the type 8e; write; then pvcreate; vgcreate; lvcreate adn then finally mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/vgName [00:41] I Have tree program files in French and one in German I want to tranlate them so I can read them [00:41] leo: did you get that link? [00:41] n8tuser, that is absolutely correct, when wanting to setup lvm... [00:42] n8tuser, right now it fails at pvcreate time [00:42] I know there is alot of places that will do it... I am wondering if Ubuntu has a program that will do it... [00:42] Yes i got it [00:42] leo: dude, I'm trying to help, did you check that link [00:42] thanx [00:42] leo, Fire up synaptic and search for a translation program [00:43] <_oax> rdz: hmm. does dmsetup give you a way of making something "INACTIVE" or does it give you any clue as to what is making it active? [00:43] exodus_ms I am not mad at you thanx for your help I spent 8 hours in the forums and not one reply i am just a little cranky Thank you for your help.... [00:44] leo: did you get the msg from Jack_Sparrow [00:44] n8tuser, after doing the fdisk part, i do: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 and then i get: Can't open /dev/hdb1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem? [00:44] <_oax> rdz: you could try rmmod the dm (device mapper) modules, if you don't ahve any lvm2 running [00:44] rdz -> i dont know if you can do an e2fsck to file check your existing lvm before mounting it? am just wild guessing here now [00:44] Thanx Jack I will try that also...

[01:03] need help, what to do i cannot start my Kubuntu "checking battery state" [01:03] tozetre - sudo fdisk -l [01:03] tozetre if that shows it as not mounted then yup. [01:03] tozetre - also do a sudo lshw -C storage and see if it shows up as possibly mounted in there w a strange mt point.

[01:08] enovativ - image? like two separate servers 1 running server and 1 running workstation? YES [01:08] Flynsarmy -> and you are sure /dev/sda3 is the ntfs partition? is the ntfs-3g module loaded? [01:08] mindrape: It immediately ends with nothing printed to the terminal [01:08] dmsuperman - type sudo iwconfig now [01:08] mindrape: so i can have a server, and say two workstations, and network them together [01:08] and see if it shows you as Associated... === exodus_m1 is now known as exodus_ms [01:09] n8tuser, i'd say so. it automounted on boot (i used ntfs-config to do it) and its always worked in the past. i'm just trying to add those uid= and umask= [01:09] mindrape: It shows the ESSID now [01:09] mindrape -> so was it wrong? 022 in the fstab is rwxr-xr-x ? [01:09] enovativ as long as you have more than 1 computer and they are running a modern OS w a TCP/IP stack... yes... you can. [01:09] mindrape: Should I try and unplug the wired connection? [01:09] dmsuperman - does it have a hex address after Access Point? [01:09] Flynsarmy -> let me look at the man pages [01:09] onthe 2nd line? [01:09] mindrape: i cant do it on say my gateway laptop [01:09] Thanx to exodus-ms, Jack_Sparrow, and bazhang, I went to the pakager and downloaded a gnome translator and it did exactly what I needed thanx a bunch guys...

I'm confused after installing a firewall and it configuring it, it's not allowing dcc at all [01:19] thx n8tuser [01:19] even though irc is allowed [01:19] hey [01:19] rdz -> illl insert those on my notes too, thanks for the fyi [01:19] how do i get emerald themes to work with compiz in Intrepid? [01:19] n8tuser, thank you for all your help [01:20] when is the next version of ubuntu coming out, and what will it include (a link would be good) [01:20] hey [01:20] mect: are you connecting to the internet through a router? [01:20] The_Rebel: use emerald as your window decorator [01:20] n8tuser, seems, that _oax had gone already.. [01:20] thx guys [01:20] im just running the defaults here jrib [01:20] !ccsm | The_Rebel [01:20] The_Rebel: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [01:20] yeah sheep but I don't think that's the proble, if I turn the software firewall off (guarddog) dcc works [01:20] so i guess i need fusion-icon or is there a command? [01:20] @Terabyte next version of buntu comes out when it ocmes out [01:20] The_Rebel: in ccsm you can choose the window decorator [01:20] but I'm not sure that's the best idea [01:20] oh sweet [01:20] named jaunjty jackalope [01:20] I was just wondering if I could do it manually [01:20] thanks [01:21] mect: you will need to make sure that ther are ports open in your router that forward to your computer and that your client is set to use those ports for dcc [01:21] rdz yes, he may have already [01:21] check ubuntuforums.org [01:21] where exactly is this option at? === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo [01:21] The_Rebel: did you install ccsm? [01:21] yes [01:22] The_Rebel: use the search feature [01:22] i did [01:22] and i found a pane called window decorations [01:22] but there's no emerarld option [01:22] it is, sheep, files send fine when guarddog is turned off (I've tried adding the ports in guarddog but it still won't work), do you know what to type to configure dcc to work? I mean with iptables? [01:22] !enter | The_Rebel [01:22] The_Rebel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:22] The_Rebel: how about a default window decorator? [01:22] ? [01:22] mindrape: It finds the hardware "it says hardware present: yes" but when I try to do "configure network" it says "couldn't find network configuration tool" and when I try using nm as usually it still can't find any [01:23] The_Rebel: you don't see something talking about a default window decorator? [01:23] nope [01:23] mect: I'm not sure. I usually don't use irc for transferring files [01:23] The_Rebel: The default is "gtk-window-decorator" [01:23] ah :( thanks anyway [01:23] right now udner "command:" it says "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator" [01:24] That is very weird [01:24] Ah or that [01:24] The_Rebel: yes. Did you install emerald already? [01:24] there are one and one half of loading bars [01:24] no, as i said, i am running the default compiz install here [01:24] mect - DCC uses a port range which you configure w your client. [01:24] The_Rebel: You could also try "gtk-window-decorator --replace" or "emerald --replace" (if you do "sudo apt-get install emerald" first) [01:24] The_Rebel: install emerald [01:24] now black screen [01:24] help! [01:24] n8tuser: actually I want to add extents to my partition, but too lazy to make a live disk. Do you think it's possible to tune2fs and fsck from initrd? [01:24] okay, i'll try that now.

[01:25] terabyte: the versions come out on april and october every year, like 8.4 was april and 8.10 was october, next will be 9.4 (2009, 4th month ect) [01:25] after the ubuntu loading [01:25] it died [01:25] nothing [01:25] mindrape, I tried everything such as adding 1024-5999 to tcp and udp in it [01:25] on screen [01:25] redbuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:25] redbuntu - ALT F1 to get to msg console... anything helpful? [01:25] redbuntu: Not even mouse pointer? [01:25] nyaa, ah that makes so much more sense [01:25] it will be called jaunty jackelope and will focus on faster boot times and those weird net apps [01:25] syockit -> i have not modifie my initrd yet, am still reading and absorbing the materials, i assume you can within initrd with those commands [01:25] i see [01:25] mect - are you using mIRC only? [01:25] mindrape: Any ideas on how to further debug? Wish I could debug on my own but I've never used linux with wireless before so I'm utterly useless here :( [01:25] I tried using xchat, irssi, mirc through wine too [01:25] The_Rebel: after you install emerald, set it as your default window decorator [01:26] n8tuser: okay, thanks for the idea. I'm doing my reading now [01:26] Is there a way to turn off updates for all the various language packages? I don't want the Belarusian language pack for OpenOffice [01:26] wireless works ok with ubuntu? [01:26] out of the box [01:26] for most chipsets [01:26] mect - well in mIRC check the DCC port range... if you want I can tell you where to look [01:26] in the "command:" field, jrib?

[04:07] I see [04:07] !paste > Zuwer [04:07] I just noticed it [04:07] fromero691 what versionof VB and Ubuntu are you using? [04:07] emhs: this is what I would like to install http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=airsnort [04:07] i am about to read and follow this link : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [04:07] good morning. I am updating ubuntu. it complains about some utf8 strings (update-manager): Virhe rivillä 2 merkissä 40: Virheellinen UTF-8-koodattu teksti - epäkelpo "acpi-support [04:07] to install Xen and use [04:08] is this the more updated page ? [04:08] mindrape are you still here? [04:08] I cannot see that section on the missing file [04:08] Scubidus: Any particular reason you need the dapper version? [04:08] well I have ubuntu 8.10 and the latest VB [04:09] emhs: Cant find one for hardy [04:09] is there a way to clear the cached ram you have? [04:09] I have not used Debian since Sarge 3.1. I think Ubuntu is less stable. [04:09] fromero691: it's under "Linux Hosts" [04:09] okay yeah Im getting the file now [04:10] nyaa:why that ? it's done automatic [04:10] did you unmount the USB first before using it in vb [04:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/107209/ [04:10] whacked: thanks, it's working now. The first link was good enough. [04:10] Scubidus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820488 [04:10] just got the file and got this error Error: Conflicts with the installed package "virtualbox-ose" [04:10] I'm using conky with compiz, to launch it i'm using a bash script wich not working, it just contains : sleep 90 && conky -c /usr/share/conkyforecast/example/conkyrc;....... what's wrong with it? [04:11] DasEi I put things into /dev/shm to speed up an application, but it won't take them out of it even if I remove them or delete them, so then it goes from ram to swap with a ton of cached memory [04:11] Scubidus: That or get the src, and ./configure, make, sudo make install. [04:11] no I did not do that [04:11] Yesterday I up dated Hardy, rebooted etc... Today, my computer was running really slow, so I logged out, and when I logged back in, I had not tool bar or system tray!? I created a desktop icon for Xterm, and did a shutdown -h, restarted, , logged in, and the bars are back! What happened? [04:11] I just started the VB and then mounted it [04:11] hey guys, would very much appreciate some help, i just tried installing 8.10 but it freezes before login [04:11] ehms: Thanks I'll check it out and get back to ya [04:11] how do I make my error messages English as contrasted to Finnish? [04:12] Anyone have some experience with wireless on an HP Pavillion zv6000 that they'd like to share? I got it working under ndiswrapper originally, but now it's stopped all of a sudden. [04:13] DasEi I tried using sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches but that was not allowed, it seems to be the big thing people suggest for this =( [04:13] Can someone here help me out? [04:13] also how do I transfer files between ubuntu and the VB??? [04:13] anyone got an idea why 8.10 would freeze before login? [04:13] I installed ubuntu server edition on virtual box. Everything is up and running, but when i go to 127.0.0.1 in a browser in the host OS, then i the website on the webserver doesn't load. I'm probably doing it wrong right? When accessing a webserver in Virtualbox typing 127.0.0.1 in a webbrowser won't do right? [04:13] SeMi: Ask your question and we'll find out. We won't know until we know what you neeed help with. [04:14] if i setup noip2 it ends up with a config file woth 0.0.0.0 [04:14] ........ [04:14] * Ward1983 is annoyed [04:14] Ent[R]opy, only in the webbrowser of the vm you have the server in.. otherwise it will be the IP of the vm port 80 [04:14] is this link : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen the lastest in one wanted to learn Xen ? [04:14] * Faust-C is still trying to make router [04:14] Amerikaner: Lots of reasons. Try forcing a startup in single-user mode. Get lots of text output. See what's going on. [04:15] Just wondering... if I dualboot Ubuntu with XP will I need an alternate set of drivers like I had to do with Windows? [04:15] How do I fix this: "rsync: failed to connect to : Connection refused (111)"? [04:15] scunizi, aha ok. How do i find out the ip of the vm though? [04:15] can you tell me how to do that? [04:15] Amerikaner have you tested your memory i had same problem while back bad mem chip [04:15] i am having a problem with a root hard drive that is too full i cannot access anything on it to delete ot move files can anyone help pls? [04:15] How can I see if a daemon is running? [04:15] yeah linuxman, the memory was fine after the test plus i just had xp on it and it was fine [04:15] Ent[R]opy, in the vm at a terminal prompt perhaps ipconfig or ifconfig.. I forgot.. === NeT_DeMoN_ is now known as NeT_DeMoN [04:16] i have had to use the live cd to get back online === white-sheep is now known as kinja-sheep [04:16] how can i access my hardrives to fix this problem === ubuntu_ is now known as Labud [04:17] is there someway i can access them thru a terminal? [04:17] is anyone using noip2? [04:17] Ward i am [04:17] ehms: No Luck [04:18] Labud: you can mount the filesystem from your livecd [04:18] unomi, my config only contains 0.0.0.0 if i set it up, so it wont work [04:18] Labud - fdisk -l mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/OHMAN [04:18] ok ty mindrape how wud i do this? [04:18] Ward1983: whats your question? [04:18] hmm [04:18] you may have to mkdir /mnt/OHMAN [04:18] Anybody help me with setting up rsync server? [04:18] then from there you can rm files to make space. [04:18] unomi, why does the config only ocntain 0.0.0.0 if it asked me my login, password, hostname, etc [04:19] Shakedown - www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+rsync+server+setup [04:19] ok mindrape ty iwasn't sure if i cud speak with you again ty for help [04:19] There's not much on google, already tried [04:19] I've got some specific questions [04:20] scunizi, i obtained the ip like you said, but it doesn't seem to work. [04:20] Shakedown: what is it you wanna do specifically? [04:20] Ward1983: dunno :) [04:20] 耳机没声音怎么弄？ [04:20] worked out of the box for me [04:20] Can anyone help me with eggdrop setup? it launches, but it doesnt sign onto a server and I cant telnet to it [04:21] unomi, yours is not empty? [04:21] Dexi #eggdrop ? [04:21] nobody there [04:21] oh [04:21] hi guys..i have one question. how do we execute something using another user acc? [04:21] you were for a second [04:21] Dexi - did you setup eggdrop.conf? [04:21] Ward my /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf is binary [04:21] Yesterday I up dated Hardy, rebooted etc... Today, my computer was running really slow, so I logged out, and when I logged back in, I had not tool bar or system tray!? I created a desktop icon for Xterm, and did a shutdown -h, restarted, , logged in, and the bars are back! What happened? [04:21] Ent[R]opy, from outside the vm in a browser (Firefox) type 192.168.:80 .... the :80 at the end is important [04:21] unomi, could you pastebin it (without your user, pass and hostname offcourse)? [04:21] hi guys I need some help resolving this issue "Error: Conflicts with the installed package "vitualbox-ose" [04:21] ward, its a binary file [04:21] mindrape: yes, and checked it a million times... id hate to force you to look over the pastebin of it... [04:21] Dexi - there is lots of online docs for eggdrop... it probably has logged onto a server and is waiting for you to talk to it via /msg eggdrop communicates via IRC protocol, not telnet. [04:21] unomi, it uses a config [04:21] Dexi - pastebin away. :) [04:22] scunizi, i did, but that did not work either. I'll try again, just to make sure. [04:22] why isn't there a feisty directory in any of the ubuntu repositories? e.g. http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [04:22] n2diy: My guess -- Gnome didn't ran at that time. [04:22] Ward1983: where is your config? [04:22] n2diy: Neverless. It's all good. [04:22] mindrape: http://pastebin.com/m2ddd3e34 [04:22] n2diy: it is an old Linux problem that sometimes the system tray does not appear, the same problem is with old KDE and perhaps some newish GNOME. You can basically launch the systray with some such command as "systray" or some else. [04:22] Hi, just installed intrepid ibex.. having some issues with my pci sound card: http://www.pastebin.ca/1313135 xine and gstreamer also report they can't load any drivers. [04:23] unomi, /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf [04:23] Using configuration from /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf but that file is a binary file [04:23] unomi, aaaaaaaah ok now i get it [04:23] Dexi - when you spawn the process it probably fails cause your hostname doesnt exist.... check the eggdrop.log for failures. Also, did you log onto that IRC network and /whois the eggdrop bot? [04:23] you shouldnt set anything in that yourself [04:23] Dexi - if you think the name might have been taken when it logged on you can /who hostname-of-the-bot [04:23] unomi, so it jsut doesnt work then because its setup right [04:23] n2diy: the system tray is basically a process just like any other process in the system. numerous things can go wrong with it so that it doesn't start automatically. then you either reboot the system (like you did) or launch the process manually (like I did 1 or 2 times in KDE). [04:24] mindrape: second part, yeah nickname doesnt exist [04:24] unomi, no NAT support? [04:24] No luck. Didn't work. Hmmm. [04:24] use the noip2 program give it the information on the command line and it will write to conf [04:24] http://www.pastebin.ca/1313136 <-- Appears the modules are loaded for it too, so I'm not sure what the problem is. === maxbaldw1n is now known as maxbaldwin [04:24] Ward1983: not yet :( I put it down to my router acting up though [04:25] mindrape: i have 7 or 8 of these in the log: [17:57] * TERMINATE SIGNAL -- SIGNING OFF [04:25] Dexi - I'd recommend strace. sudo apt-get install strace [04:25] n2diy: basically you want to find out the name of every process that does something to your desktop. if you know the name of the process, then you know the name of the binary or script used to start the process. [04:25] then strace ./eggdrop or however you launch it. [04:25] unomi, then no-ip is useless to me :( i have NAT (like allmost anyone these days) [04:25] then it will show you at a system level whats going on and maybe be easier to troubleshoot. [04:25] <__lucio__> hi. does anyone know how i can plug two mice into ubuntu and dont have X grab them both? (just use my regular mouse to move the pointer, read from the other mouse with python-usb) [04:25] I imagine it's probably a network config issue though. [04:25] ok [04:25] any good alternatives to dyndns / no-ip ? [04:25] ok. this is extremely irritating... i cannot use my usb keyboard under 2.6.27... [04:25] mindrape: ill try that [04:26] i just installed pidgin 2.5.4.. why is ubuntu tryna tell me it's better if i use the older one? anyone have problems with the new one yet? === ubuntu is now known as sockets [04:26] Is there a way to move bookmarks up and down in nautilus/Places menu in menu bar?

[04:27] mindrape: that pumped out a whole bunch of stuff i dont understand [04:27] Anyone had similar problems/fixes? [04:27] Dexi :) Look at the last command before it dies... [04:27] /quit [04:27] Dexi - you can pastebin it all if you want. [04:27] Dexi - sudo apt-get install pastebinit strace eggdrop | pastebinit [04:28] k well i cant get it all [04:28] oh ok [04:28] is there any similar software to TED (torrent episode downloader) for ubuntu ?

[04:34] how to configure 'mail' to send and receive POP and SMTP mails? [04:35] I'm having a terribly frustrating time getting VLC to record a video stream with audio. I've tried /dev/audio[0-3] to no good effect, and /dev/dsp1 seems to work in terms of playback, but doesn't record to a file. I know the device is playing with Linux, as it works fine for audio and video on Skype. Any thoughts on finding out what device to use in VLC? [04:35] kuwago_: im tellin ya bro ... google and check out ted .. torrent episode downloader ... [04:35] well, I'm running 8.10 64 and using dansguardian configured with tinyproxy and firehol. What I really need to do is keep dans guardian from being shutdown with sudo from any user. [04:35] lsusb shows this: [04:35] Bus 004 Device 003: ID 046d:0990 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 9000 [04:35] spill: then remove the users you don't want using sudo from the admin group [04:35] spill, are you giving full sudo rights? [04:35] mindrape: ok am ther now [04:35] there [04:36] spill: check the sudo documentation, you can edit the configuration for sudo using visudo [04:36] Generally you want to limit users who need sudo to very specific applications. [04:36] vegombrei yes! === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [04:36] mindrape: i think this is the problem: http://pastebin.com/d5108b06f [04:36] spill: the default is that all users in the admin group have full sudo privileges [04:36] spill: remove them from that group, resolve the problem [04:37] ok, i think i'm getting ya. [04:37] well think ive figured out my problem its gonna have to wait till tomrow when i can get a blank cd though ;) thanks guys cu l8tr [04:37] Unfortunately sudo's config is documented with that horrid Backus-Naur notation. Precise, but damned hard to read. [04:37] One admin?sudo, the rest are on non-sudo accounts, [04:37] mindrape do i do the fdisk -l now? [04:37] the only negative is that all sudo fuctions will be unavaible when I truly just need to lockout dansguardian? any other thoughts. [04:38] spill: consequentially, you will also learn that you can give very finite rights to users as far as 'root' access is concerned, for example, you can give a specific user the ability to access a particular program as 'root' using sudo, and nothing else [04:38] spill, sudo *might* allow you to give a negative permission but then someone can just do "sudo bash" and do as they like. [04:38] Is there a way to move bookmarks up and down in nautilus/Places menu in menu bar? [04:38] spill: you can use the su function to switch users [04:38] !sudo | spill [04:38] spill: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:38] spill: set the timeout for su ? [04:38] spill for instance if you have an account named nyaa that HAS sudo function, you can use su nyaa and then it will ask for a password [04:39] any text based client to access pop and smtp mail? [04:39] phpmonk, mutt is the classic for that. [04:39] mindrape i am getting a "cannot open /dev/hda1 [04:39] how do i make a shortcut to a folder that's on the windows partition of my hard drive? [04:39] then you have the same priviledges that that account has [04:39] right but su is super user and it asks for root password right? not the user password as sudo asks for. [04:39] spill, as yourself you just do "sudo su " [04:39] spill: no su stands for either substitute user or switch user, if you use no arguments it assumes root [04:39] That lets you test their privileges, i think is what is being suggested. [04:40] TQuid: thx, i will try that [04:40] oh, ok. [04:40] grinn, ln -s dest folder [04:40] spill: but if you have other accounts ont he computer, you can do su accountname and you can become that account as far as priviledges [04:40] how do i pull up a command prompt? [04:40] su is kinda non-available in Ubuntu, is wise, that is why sudo is used [04:40] unless you do sudo su and then you can be root [04:40] lol === disappearedng_ is now known as disappearedng [04:40] mindrape: am i doing something inncorrectly? [04:41] spill: more info on using visudo to your advantage, http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudoers.html [04:41] Any thoughts on my audio-capture quandary? is there a different channel that specializes in that kind of thing? [04:41] while, so I where can I find a how to on editing the suoders file then. My goal would be to only allow root to shut down dansguardian and for all other users it would run by default but they couldnt shut it down. [04:41] Documenting sudoers using Backus-Naur is like teaching people HTML with a raw LaTeX doc. [04:42] sloopy: i'm not quite sure what you mean [04:42] grinn, ln is link and it is similar to alias... [04:42] spill: that would be in terminal: [04:43] mindraape: it appears that the hardrive is not mounted [04:43] I've figured out how to connect to the ubuntu server webroot from a host OS to the Ubuntu Server guast OS in Virtualbox. One has to change a setting in Virtualbox. A network setting has to be changed from "NAT" to "host interface". Then if you do "ifconfig" in the vm it will show the same ip as your host's ip. Connecting to that ip will make the server work. [04:43] spill: I forgot the commands, but is startup booted === disappearedng_ is now known as q0 [04:44] spill: visudo edits the sudoers file [04:45] Thank you rdw [04:45] Helloou everyone.

[04:45] Hey all, anyone know of a dock that I can put on the side of the screen (left or right)? Something with awn-like functionality? Been looking for ages! Thanks! [04:46] chris78v, it was built for Windows, this is not Windows. （｀ー´） [04:46] spill: just don't be careless when making changes to the sudoers file [04:46] snoopy [04:46] spill: you can lock yourself out permanently without the root account enabled [04:46] I hear ya. I'm a bit freaked to try at the moment :). [04:47] is there anyone else that can help me with this disk too full problem? [04:47] dunas, so the game cannot be ran? is there a patch? [04:47] chris78v, what game? [04:47] spill: what rdw200169 just said was make a backup before editing that stuff,,sorta [04:47] occasionally i would close a window, (nautilus or firefox) my screen flickers a bit and desktop effects is disabled. is this a known issue or just me, and how do i stop it [04:47] it would seem as though there would a another way to lock someone out of shutting down dansguardian without the root password which I have enabled. [04:47] sloopy: you're gonna have to somewhat spoonfeed me the commands, i'm completely new at opensource [04:47] sorry I'm still a bit of a newb yet. :( [04:48] Anyone aware of how to connect to a linksys wireless router from ubuntu? [04:48] This has been the brunt of my passed few hours. [04:48] spill: instead of concerning yourself with what you *don't* want to let your users do, instead, consider what you will *allow* them to do [04:48] I have tried every combination of ndiswrapper. [04:48] dunas. it is called, "civilizationIV" [04:48] No apologies needed when asking for help, that is actually wisdom. [04:49] spill: this is a much safer policy [04:49] chris78v, you are using wine? Check winehq. [04:49] cattlesnake -> what is the chip used on your client wifi card? [04:49] spill: this prevents the 'sudo bash' previously mentioned [04:49] are there any hacking software applications for Ubuntu? [04:49] spill: they shouldn't need to run very many things as root [04:49] Is that the Chipset? [04:50] I too am new to Ubuntu. [04:50] Partition table entries are not in disk order [04:50] last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 40755 [04:50] razaccour: they're called tcpdump and nmap... [04:50] A few hours new. [04:50] cattlesnake, go on firefox, and type this on the adress bar: 192.168.1.1 . I THINK you must be connected by a cable, not by wireless [04:50] can anyone tell me what this means [04:50] which one is best? [04:50] did you mean penetration test for wireless? razaccour [04:50] grinn, it isnt opensource, its unix (or unix-like) the command is 'ln' with a option of -s (which soft link) and then destination filename and then what you want it pointed to [04:50] no [04:50] Well, I am on a cable now, so that is fine. [04:51] razaccour: regardless of the ethical considerations of what you're implying that you want to do, i'm going to assume that you have only good intentions [04:51] people are threatening to hack my website so i'm gonna get them out of the way before they get me [04:51] dunas, the game is called, "civilization IV" [04:51] ok, while I'm looking at the sudoes file now and I'm a little foggy on what I'm supossed to change in it. doesnt the first account created also have admin rights in ubuntu? [04:51] razaccour: ah, ok [04:51] i'm protecting site members, so there's good in it [04:51] Mimi, where do I find the chip here (if that's what I am looking for)? [04:51] Can anyone help me with a DVD read error I'm having? [04:51] razaccour: the best way to detect hacking attempts is by implementing LOG targets in an iptables firewall [04:52] None of my video programs can read these discs.. [04:52] how can i change my screen refresh rate? [04:52] sloopy: i have been in college 5 years now and that sentence baffles me more than anything my professors have said to me [04:52] razaccour: that, or running a intrusion detection software, like snort [04:52] i need to intrude someone's site before they do it to me [04:53] its a .webs site [04:53] razaccour: hacking is the writing of programs, or making programs work better, you are talking about cracking, cracking is malicious and not really like by many people that I know of. [04:53] razaccour: i don't know about .webs, and i'm not going to help you do that! [04:53] cattlesnake, Oh :O I thought you needed to connect to the router, to configure it, not just to go online :( I'm sorry [04:53] Need help getting my comp to read DVDs [04:53] Hello all. I have a question: I opened up a folder containing hundreds of pictures, all arranged as "date modified". But my image viewer only knows how to navigate (using left and right button) by "name". This creates a minor annoyance for me b/c the navigation via "image viewer" doesn't match how the pictures are arranged in the folder. Does anyone know how to solve this problem (perhaps download a new, better image viewer that [04:53] FOLLOWS the arragement type as set up in folder)? [04:53] is there any cracking software? [04:54] razaccour -> yes one of them is called an editor like vim [04:54] thanks [04:54] hdiowhdioawdawgw: try picasa [04:54] grinn, sorry still waiting for my professorship ;') maybe an example will help [04:54] hdiowhdioawdawgw: gThumb Image Viewer will do that [04:54] Mimi, sorry for the confusion, I'll reiterate: I have a Linksys WRT54G hooked up to this computer, and need to be able to access the internet it provides. [04:54] grinn, can you open a terminal? [04:55] Wow so many questions! help me!please! changing my screen refresh rate [04:55] Does anyone know a dock (llke awn) that I can put on the left or right of the screen? Cairo is waaaaaaaay too heavy and "cutey" [04:55] razaccour: one is called #$$%@, but I know nothing about that cause it is bad to mess with other peoples work. [04:55] i have to find a way to move files off my root hard drive it is too full and my computer has stopped functioning. the way Mindrape told me did not work can anyone else help please? [04:55] cattlesnake -> you are already connected to the internet as of now [04:55] Need other programs Ubuntu can run scrambled/encrypted DVDs on [04:56] vigo thats not a word [04:56] Ok [04:56] i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? [04:56] n8tuser -> Yes, I am, on *this* computer. This is a desktop. My laptop has ubuntu on it [04:56] and will not connect. [04:56] fallout: you're thinking of the library: libdvdcss [04:56] It is mere inches away from said router. [04:57] i'm looking for software that i can use to crack a website with [04:57] cattlesnake -> get another cat 5 cable and attached one end to your laptop and the other end to your linksys router [04:57] cattlesnake, it really doesn't matter what router you've got, what you need to know is what your wireless card, or your ethernet card. to find out, you can type lshw -C network in the terminal [04:57] rdw200169: what do you mean [04:57] is there something to sync settings between my desktop and laptop for GNOME in general? [04:57] i have foxmarks for bookmarks, but i want more than that [04:58] sloopy: you mean like konsole? [04:58] grinn, yes [04:58] sloopy: open [04:58] razzacour: you are looking ine the wrong place, This is the Ubuntu-Help channel, that is all I have to say on that matter. [04:58] hey guys/girls just a quick one. After the last update my metacity is segfaulting. Does anyone know where metacity keeps it's logs/configuration files? [04:58] n8tuser, thanks, but I'd rather not. [04:59] someone from another website is causing me trouble and i need hacker software to take them down. can anyone help? [04:59] fallout: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:59] mindrape: are you familiar with bmotion [04:59] does anyone work with Tacacs+ server (tac-plus package) [04:59] ? [04:59] fallout: this gets you the good stuff for viewing 'encrypted' dvd's [04:59] i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? [05:00] cattlesnake -> you'd rather not? why ask her for help? [05:00] cattlesnake -> you'd rather not? why ask here* for help? [05:00] fallout: so all the standard dvd playing applications (totem, mplayer, etc...) will work *after* you install the restricted extras [05:00] razaccour: even if you have the tools your probably to stupid to use them [05:00] i can learn [05:00] n8tuser, I'd rather not have a cable running from my laptop to the cable. I'd like to extend my laptop's use outside the living room. [05:00] I have set all my files in ~ to let me read/write only. However, I need a few configuration files to be read by root (b/c of suid). What is the best way to do that? [05:00] cattlesnake -> get a longer cable? [05:01] sloopy: now what? [05:01] n8tuser, from here-on-in it's turtles all the down. [05:01] cattlesnake: what are you trying to do again? [05:01] cattlesnake: you need the cable to try and get your wifi card working [05:01] cattlesnake, I understand, I hate using a cable too :) We got wireless cards for a reason! :) [05:01] hello.. i have a problem i have add/installed a GDM theme and, my pc open normaly it dont ask me for user: pass: any help please? im using Ubuntu Gnome 8.10 [05:02] grinn, i am at work so my responses will be slow at times... [05:02] am just waiting for cattlesnake to mention his wireless... hehe [05:02] sloopy: no problem, sorry to bother you [05:02] n8tuser: me to :) [05:02] n8tuser, you are both a hoot and a holler. [05:03] grinn, tis not a bother, i just have high lag at times... [05:03] does anyone know where metacity keeps its logs? It segfaults on login and wont even let me get to the desktop [05:03] hi all [05:03] cattlesnake -> we're having a lil fun yeah? [05:03] blaq does it work in tty [05:04] ic3fr0g, do you *want* to be asked for a password? (I'm confused by your question, sorry :) === osxdude_ is now known as osxdude [05:04] Why are ubuntu forums so slow lately? [05:04] Vantrax, well i kill X via ctrl-alt-bksp and switch to terminal 1 and try a startx but because X has restarted itself already it says I've already got one running [05:04] Will kubuntu-desktop grab KDE 3 or 4 in Intrepid? [05:04] i'm running in fluxbox now [05:05] corinth: Doesn't Kubuntu 8.10 come with KDE4? [05:05] corinth: kde4 i think [05:05] corinth, I think (too lazy to look it up now) it's 3, but if you do all the updates, you'll get 4 [05:05] all dmesg gives me is: metacity[7447]: segfault at 0 ip 080abab3 sp bfde6fc0 error 4 in metacity [05:05] mimi: yes i want be asked for password. [05:06] i just did "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" rebooted and gdm won't respond to my keyboard or mouse, i luckily can use the other tty screens... help please [05:06] grinn, still there? [05:06] i think it has something to do with the latest security updates that came through, as it was working fine before i had to restart due to the updates [05:06] Mimi: cause Ubuntu ROX! I am at 0.2s lag,,so I dunno [05:06] sloopy: yes, sir [05:06] anyone know an easy way to keep dansguardian from being shutdown with sudo, and force it to be done with the root password and not the user password as done with the sudo command? [05:06] KDE vs GNOME (as far as speed, stability and features), anyone? [05:07] hello.. i have a problem i have add/installed a GDM theme and, my pc open normaly it dont ask me for pass: any help please? i want to ask for password.. im using Ubuntu Gnome 8.10 [05:07] sockets: try them both, you decide [05:07] kde 3.5 ftw [05:07] sockets: that's an ongoing point of contention/rivalry amongst linux users [05:07] ic3fr0g, OKay, then go to Adminitstration, Login Window. Then go to : Security: Make sure it doens't say "enable automatic login" [05:07] if i install both it won't slow down either while using it will it? [05:07] sockets: features is the main differentiating factor in that decision [05:07] grinn, ok 'ln -s destination_dir local_name_for_dest' [05:07] sockets: I've heard some people dont like KDE4. I believe Kubuntu 8.04 would include KDE3 though [05:07] sockets: thye both have there good sides... [05:07] nah sockets, it will only use one at any time, so you can judge based off that [05:07] i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? [05:08] Mimi: thanks [05:08] ic3fr0g, should work :) [05:08] temppy, i just installed ubuntu-desktop because kde4+ seems too slow [05:08] sockets: kde is more like windows, but by default ubuntu uses gnome [05:08] but i can't access gnome because it doesn't respond to my mouse or keyboard.... [05:08] sloopy: so i need the address on the system of the folder? [05:08] so to make a alias of your flash drive in your local directory you would type 'ln -s /media/flash_device_name ~/myflashdrive' [05:08] How's xfce for you guys? [05:08] thanks guys :], ibuffy - i heard 8.04 is more stable, you should check that out.. i made the mistake of getting 8.10 first and it was giving me a few issues too [05:08] ravenor_: fast [05:09] hi [05:09] spill -> think about it carefully, who belongs to sudoers? what can sudoers do? should anyone else be a member of the group that owns dansguardian ? [05:09] ravenor_, i use xfce on my router [05:09] ravenor_: slow compared to xmonad :) [05:09] ibuffy: do you have the evdev driver installed? [05:09] does anyone know where metacity keeps its logs? [05:09] sloopy: i think i get it ... lemme take a quick try [05:09] Can anyone help me with a kubuntu problem? [05:09] temppy: i'll check.. [05:09] ibuffy, i've had 8.04 for about 5 days now with gnome, haven't tried kde but it's running a lot better than 8.10 was [05:09] grinn, yes you need the directory path to the directory [05:10] sockets, by better, do you mean faster? if that's the case, I think i know what your problem was. "tracker". It slows down your pc, and unfortunately, its enabled by default on ibex. Disabling it works :D [05:10] I installed kvm and can not figure out how to turn it on so win4lin will use it [05:10] 8.10 was too complex for me, so I reverted to 8.04 [05:10] while, I truly only need the root to have access to shut it down.? [05:10] temppy: where is this 'evdev' driver you speak of? [05:11] the other logins would need access to install packadges through sudo. [05:11] spill -> did you digest what i asked? [05:11] Lo-si, why dont you go ahead and ask? Maybe we can. If we can't, you can try on #kubuntu [05:11] not really :) [05:11] !who | spill [05:11] spill: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:11] spill read my questions again, and ponder on it a bit [05:11] Mimi, okay, I took a bit here, [05:12] i'm writing a utility that needs to start up on /dev/tty1 on bootup. is there a way to make init spawn my program w/ STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR set appropriately? or should i just open /dev/tty1 and read/write to that? [05:12] does Ubuntu Interpid Ibex 8.10 Desktop version include Samba? [05:12] Anybody know why Compiz enables the system boop by default? [05:12] but so I typed lshw -C network [05:12] ok, sorry, ubottu [05:12] n8tuser: ok. === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [05:12] what do the tty's allow you to do? if you have 3 tty's can you press 3 buttons at once or do they serve a different function? [05:12] new_to_ubuntu-: you can install it useing synaptic [05:13] !info xserver-xorg-input-evdev | ibuffy [05:13] xserver-xorg-input-evdev (source: xserver-xorg-input-evdev): X.Org X server -- evdev input driver.

[05:13] nightrid3r: guide me please if u don't mind, i'm so new :) [05:14] cmatheson -> you know those 3 fd are opened by default right? so now you like to perhaps use dup to redirect? [05:14] n8tuser: at present everone belongs to sudoers if i'm reading the file right? [05:14] sloopy: i typed 'ln -s /windows/Documents and Setting/Chris - Troll of Jom ~/My Documents [05:14] spill -> nope not everyone [05:14] I can't tell, exactly, to be perfectly honest. Is that the controller or the interface? [05:14] currently, i'm downloading samba-latest.tar.gz from samba homepage [05:14] I have a simple question I hope, can thunderbird be set to receive mail from more than one email account [05:14] new_to_ubuntu-: system --> management --> synaptic [05:14] My Internet connection is sooo slow and I can't figure out why. Someone tell me what's wrong! [05:15] JohninLex: yes it can [05:15] Pandemic187 -> did you pay for high speed access or low speed access? [05:15] n8tuser: while, I guess I don't know what I'm looking for then? [05:15] new_to_ubuntu-: Do you need the latest and greatest?? Samba4 breaks certain compatibilites with Samba3 and print server functions [05:15] i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? is there something else in the synaptic packages i need to install? [05:15] grinn, ouch, those spaces are bad... you need to put '\ ' at each [05:15] n8tuser: oh shoot, forgot about dup. thanks! [05:15] spill -> aparently not, kindly do a tutorial on file permissions and group permissions [05:15] thank you atom, sorry I was reading something that said it could not but I thought it could [05:15] n8tuser: No, it's broadband. It should be decently fast but it's not. The thing is that I'm in college and it's fine on my roommate's laptop, but not on mine. [05:16] grinn, and its ~/Documents [05:16] Pandemic187: Sorry my ESP is a little off today. Why don't you tell us more about your internet connection, what sort is it, what you're using, what you've tried etc [05:16] ChrisGibbs: he doesn't even know how to install software so i doubt he needs samba4 [05:16] n8tuser: sure thing. [05:16] Pandemic187 -> you been messing with your roomates gf, he put a hex on you..lol [05:16] ChrisGibbs: i need Samba, the most stable one [05:16] sloopy: instead of a space? [05:16] nightrid3r: Ah, only just joined :) [05:16] lol n8tuser. [05:16] can i log in as another user via terminal? [05:16] anyone know how to turn on kvm so win4lin can run in hardware virtualization instead of software? [05:16] Pandemic187 -> well what do you consider slow? [05:16] cattlesnake, this is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107221/ see where it says Intel Wireless? It lists the model. You could paste what you got, and we can tell you [05:16] n8tuser: 97kbps downstream. [05:16] new_to_ubuntu-: samba 3 [05:16] Pandemic187: usually colleges have wifi/ethernet. You're using broadband? Explain more please [05:16] grinn, yes, 'do\ space\ like\ this\ in\ the\ terminal' [05:17] blaq: What would you like to know? [05:17] what sort of broadband [05:17] do you plug into the wall? [05:17]  rebel_kid: yes , login [05:17] is the wall socket a network socket or a phone socket? [05:17] Pandemic187 -> what if the remote end dishing out towards you is slow? you can not do much about that.. [05:17] !samba | new_to_ubuntu- [05:17] new_to_ubuntu-: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [05:17] do you use a modem? [05:17] grinn, or you can type first 2-3 characters of directory name and hit 'tab' [05:17] How do you privately talk to the bot? [05:17] sloopy: even though the folder name is "My Documents"? [05:17] DasEi, thats what i thought but i get No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh" [05:17] Mimi, I have nothing that says wireless interfact. [05:18] n8tuser: But if what you are describing is true, wouldn't it be slow for my roommate as well? [05:18] ravenor_ : /query ubottu [05:18] grinn, ahh no, if you named it My Documents then no, default is usually 'documents' [05:18] blaq: Wi-Fi and ethernet...but terribly slow. [05:18] I mean both* [05:18] grinn, err 'Documents' [05:18] Mimi, I have network UNCLAIMED, network, and network DISABLED. [05:18] cattlesnake, oops [05:18] Pandemic187 -> is it same site? so having multiple access to that remote site maybe putting on a priority basis ? [05:18] so you're plugged into the wall AND using wifi at the same time? or both of them are slow for you? [05:18] rebel_kid:you tried from remote ? [05:19] n8tuser: Is what the same site? I ran speed tests in the same room. [05:19] DasEi, no im on the machine. just apps -> terminal -> login [05:19] Pandemic187 -> its also possible your school is putting a cap on your accesses? [05:19] jump into a terminal and give me the output for ifconfig privately [05:19] cattlesnake, I don't know what to do from now, but maybe this could be usefull: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890772 [05:19] we'll start from the bottom and work up [05:19] n8tuser: Nah. I've been using it for about 2 & 1/2 years now. This is something else. [05:20] so samba-latest.tar.gz is Samba4? [05:20] rebel_kid:don't know then, just ried here and works [05:20] Pandemic187 -> any recent updates? [05:20] sloopy: what exactly is this supposed to do? [05:20] DasEi, thats odd, i really dont want to logout everytime i need to access psql as postgres [05:20] n8tuser: It's just as slow on Windows as it is on Linux, for the record. [05:20] new_to_ubuntu-: forget tar.gz files, use the repos instread [05:20] Pandemic187 -> okay, are your nameserver functioning ? [05:21] grinn, what? the tab? it will complete the dir name with the \ in the appropriate places [05:21] n8tuser: Is that an IRC thing? I'm not sure what nameserver means. [05:21] ok [05:21] does anyone know where metacity keeps its log files? [05:22] Pandemic187 -> nameservers is essential to your enjoyment of the internet [05:22] n8tuser, you're not helping [05:22] next question, how to update the mozilla firefox? [05:22] nameservers wont make anything slow [05:22] Pandemic187 -> kindly google for that word, nameserver and get some explanation [05:22] it will either make dns resolve or not [05:22] Alright then [05:22] blaq -> speak for yourself, you dont understand if nameservers are down how can you resolve? [05:22] new_to_ubuntu-, should be automatic. If you mean from 2 to 3... [05:22] new_to_ubuntu-: synaptic [05:23] that would make it not work altogether, not slow it down [05:23] i mean from 3.03 which i currently have, to 3.05 from firefox website [05:23] nightrid3r: what's synaptic? :) [05:23] blaq sure it will, if the 1st one is dead, and has to wait to resolve, before it uses the second one..get it? [05:23] somehow he's connected to irc.freenode.net and i doubt he knew the ip address for freenode off the top of his head [05:23] cattlesnake, sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but, is this a fresh install of ubuntu? If so, have you checked for restricted drivers? System ->Administration->Hardware Drivers [05:23] is the sudo method called synaptic ? [05:24] This is a fresh install, yes. [05:24] Hey any1 here can recommend a Desktop search app that can crawl pdf and chm files? Google Desktop 's plugins are all exes and not applicable to the linux environemnt [05:24] An hour fresh. [05:24] new_to_ubuntu-: system --> management --> synaptic , a software management tool [05:24] new_to_ubuntu-: firefox 3.0.5 is in there [05:24] sloopy: it say "ln: creating symbolic link `/home/grinn/My Dcouments': File exists" but i don't see anything [05:24] n8tuser, nameservers are listed as ip addresses. It's kinda hard to resolve a nameserver if you don't yet know the ip address of the nameserver [05:24] !synaptic | new_to_ubuntu- [05:24] new_to_ubuntu-: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [05:24] n8tuser: So can you tell me how to check if my nameserver is functioning? [05:25] Mimi, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is the only one I see. [05:25] Pandemic187, it is functioning. I'll guarantee it [05:25] Any Good Desktop search app to reccomend that allows plugin? [05:25] Hey ATI Grapich Card isn't good at linux? [05:25] blaq -> as an expriment, set your 1st nameserver in your resolv.conf to something like 168.254.1.2 and the 2nd as your normal nameservers, see how much delay you get.. experiment and tell me [05:26] blaq: okay then...this is just such a weird problem. I don't get it. [05:26] can anyone reccomend an outstanding book on linux? [05:26] hey guys how do i c hange the default group ownner for mounted usb drives ? [05:26] oh i see :) === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [05:26] grinn, is the My Documents folder already exist? [05:26] ubuntu for that matter, i'm a new user and i'd love to learn all about linux/ubuntu [05:26] n8tuser, try not to be condescending. I'm a network admin for an isp, i know how nameservers work [05:26] so no need to download source files? [05:27] new_to_ubuntu-: indeed :) [05:27] quicksilver_: ubuntu unleashed 2008 edition [05:27] blaq well since you are an admin for an ISP, you know if one nameserver can not resolve, how long would it has to delay before it switches to your secondary nameserver? [05:27] Pandemic187, the basic things that could affect your speeds (apart from general things that slow down your entire computer) are: MTU, NIC drivers, link stability [05:27] nobody knows an outstanding book on ubuntu? [05:27] i see :) thanks a lot === eric is now known as Guest77276 [05:27] nightrid3r: thanks [05:27] sloopy: yes [05:28] grinn, it cant be the target of a link if it exists... [05:28] n8tuser, depends on the timeout of the connection, which would be on the order of 1-2 seconds before it realised the nameserver is down and switched to the other [05:28] Pandemic187: if you are sharing a network connection w a roommate and his is fast and yours is slow I doubt DNS has anything to do w it. [05:28] sloopy: i'm trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to a folder that is on the windows partition of my hard drive without having to copy over the files [05:28] blaq: When I'm on Windows, my Wi-Fi speed will be 54 mbps like it should be...then it goes to 48, then 36...then 24, then 18. [05:29] When things are going smoothly, that doesn't happen. [05:29] Pandemic187, i'd say it's your wireless NIC then [05:29] Pandemic187: its probably router configs... you by chance using a Linksys? [05:29] blaq -> but it continually hitting the first nameserver yes? so adding up 1-2 second every address resolution? it adds up yes? [05:29] mindrape: No, I'm using a university connection. [05:29] blaq: But my wired connection is equally bad, though. [05:29] grinn, try it like this... 'ln -s /windows/etc... home/grinn/Desktop/Win_Documents [05:29] cattlesnake, I can't find any help online that seems relevant :( Sorry [05:29] Mimi, I haven't been able to either. [05:30] what sort of authentication do you use for the network? [05:30] like, when you plug into the wall, how does the university know it's you and not your roommate? [05:30] n8tuser, what kind of system are you running? [05:30] quiksilver -> an amd k7, good enuff? and some wireless [05:31] you built your system? [05:31] grinn: is your win partition listed in your fstab? [05:31] someone please help me to unfreeze gdm [05:31] Pandemic187: well if you truly think its DNS then you can use nslookup and see if the nameserver is failing... I doubt it though. [05:31] quiksilver -> yes [05:31] Pandemic187: check you pm please [05:31] it doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard [05:31] what's the evdev which was mentioned? [05:31] n8tuser, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You're being unnecessarily hostile and it's not helping to solve Pandemic187's problem [05:32] hostile? [05:32] lol [05:32] which command is used to know the version of ubuntu in my system [05:32] blaq -> am not hostile to you eh? am pointing out the issues yes? [05:32] suji: lsb_release -a [05:32] lsb_release -a [05:32] blaq, n8tuser recommended I fix my wireless connection with a wire. [05:32] lol [05:33] rofl [05:33] cattlesnake -> i was teasing you, and remember we were waiting for you to tell us about your wirless [05:33] blaq, he did so as if a pedagogue as well with an infinite regression in logic. [05:33] and then he called my mother fat. [05:33] lol [05:33] My Graphic card is Radeon HD 4850.. but in my ubuntu Compiz is doesn't use well..

[05:34] mindrape -> he does not have long enuff cat5 .. am going to stop teasing now..hehe [05:34] cattlesnake - wired or wireless? [05:35] maybe we should resurrect the long cat meme for him to connect, n8tuser? [05:35] mindrape - the router is attached to a desktop computer which has a cable modem. [05:35] cattlesnake // ifconfig [05:35] grinn, and? [05:35] if im using ubuntu it doesnt matter if i buy mac or pc right?

[05:38] cattlesnake: sudo iwconfig [05:38] quiksilver -> then you need a powerful 3-d capable video card, and hopefully has the drivers supported in ubuntu [05:38] does it say no wireless extentions? [05:38] n8tuser: 4 quadcore opterons and 32GB ram is enough to irc according to a mate :) [05:38] It does not. [05:38] cattlesnake: on lshw you may have to scroll up through the output... (shift + pgup) [05:38] it does not? so you see something that lists an Access point and ESSID? [05:39] who makes the best pc's?

[05:46] transporter: personally I use Emacs for Journal stuff, with the org-mode [05:46] eseven73: i don't want anything like basket [05:47] ravenor_, Before remove gnome, you might want to try out xfce first. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:47] ravenor_, Then select "xfce" under "Sessions" at the login screen. [05:47] hmm transporter try searching apt for 'journal' or 'diary' see what pops up :) [05:47] nightrid3r: ...so I'm just curious there's a counterpart to rpm --nodeps in dpkg.

[06:15] i=it [06:15] lavagolemking, hard drives are not. they get a warranty behind the scenes with the hard drive manufacturer === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:16] lavagolemking, hard drives break by themselves all the time.

[06:21] fromero691: Install python from synaptic [06:21] wfiuewfew: .pl is perl, .py is python [06:21] okay once I install it, then what should I do? [06:21] i need help with my display resolution [06:21] wfiuewfew: why not just install the kernel header package for 2.6.24? kernel-headers-generic is just a meta package afaik [06:21] im on a ppc [06:22] Brack10: if it comes preinstalled then it most probably is [06:22] fromero691: it's perl, not python. perl should be installed by default. To run that file, do perl vmware-setup.pl [06:22] * AC`97 goes baaaah [06:22] can somebody help me my cairo clock launches succesffully if i launch it as root but fails to launch as a normal single user [06:22] * Cann0n goes baaaaah, too. [06:22] :] [06:23] wfiuewfew_there are so many python files, which one should I install?? [06:23] Is there a shredder tool that can recursively clear directories, or will I have to run dd overnight? [06:23] transporter: What's the error when you try to launch it? [06:23] Pastebin, if you please. [06:23] fromero691: you should probably use vmware-install.pl [06:23] transporter: fails to load? you might want to explain a bit more.. the computer blows up? it launches then laughs at you and runs away? [06:23] fromero691: see above, sorry you need perl, not python --- fromero691: it's perl, not python. perl should be installed by default. To run that file, do perl vmware-setup.pl [06:23] lavagolemking: check out "wipe" [06:23] sheep_yes but how do I use it?

[06:25] transporter: lots of hits on google for that error message, have you checked if there are any solutions? [06:25] sheep_yes it is in my desktop [06:26] Slart: im sorry for some reason when i copy pasted that error msg in well nothing came up [06:26] fromero691: do this in a terminal: cd ~/Desktop/vmware-server-distrib; perl ./vmware-setup.pl [06:26] gonewestcoast: what do i do now? [06:26] transporter: don't search for the whole thing.. just from librsvg-CRITICAL and forward [06:27] transporter: Learn to use google on that error message? You're not the first to have this issue, see what they did to resolve it. [06:27] i hope someone can help: i have a desktop with xp, and a laptop dual booting xp and ubuntu, i don't have a router only a modem, and the net works fine on the desktop (which im on now) but when i unplug the ethernet and put it into the laptop ubuntu won't connect to the net, and if i boot in xp it says i need to renew the ip, but says it's unable to do so, i'd be grateful for any ideas [06:27] Looks like I can hit directories with this, thanks.

I was able to do this by uninstalling some packages from synaptic. However in /usr/src the header remain from version 2.6.27. I need headers from version 2.6.24. [06:27] broomhandle: Most cheap cable modems only have one MAC resident at once, you'll have to power cycle it. [06:27] fromero691: what is the output of the command cwd? [06:28] gonewestcoast: powercycle the modem? before or after i connect it to the laptop? [06:28] Sheep_I don't know how to answer that, what is cwd?? [06:28] fromero691: it's a command. [06:28] gonewestcoast and Slart: well yes but im a bit dumb when it comes to linux troubleshooting u need to help me out just a tad bit [06:28] fromero691: to run it, type "cwd" (without quotes) in a terminal [06:29] anyone uses shoutcast server? [06:29] transporter: what version of ubuntu are you running? [06:29] hi, do we have any keyboard shortcut for viewing desktop...like in windows its cntl+d [06:29] Slart: hardy [06:29] If I have xfce4 installed on Ubuntu, how can I start it from a command line? [06:29] transporter: how did you install the cairo clock?

I meant pwd [06:30] Where is the keyring located, if you don't mind my asking? I want to get that too. [06:30] Slart: no but I also have gnome installed [06:31] Slart: I installed it on top of gnome for when I need a lightweight wm [06:31] Brack10: might be a setting in some file somewhere that startx reads what to run [06:31] sheep_lol [06:31] Slart: you mean xorg.conf? [06:31] I want gnome to be my default wm, but when I'm doing virtualization I want to use xfce [06:31] sheep_home/fromero69 [06:31] so I'd log out of gnome and start xfce [06:31] gnome is not a window manager [06:32] sorry [06:32] what's the term? [06:32] fromero691: type this: cd Desktop/vmware-server-distrib [06:32] fromero691: then type this: perl ./vmware-install.pl [06:32] gnome is a suite of applications often referred to as a desktop environment in which there is metacity which is a window manager [06:32] Hi all, is there some way i can get my titlebars back... i dragged something and they vanished [06:33] thanks [06:33] ok desktop environment [06:33] sheep_all in one line? or in two separate commands? [06:33] so...possible? [06:33] trancefat: ofcourse [06:33] Brack10: no, some other file.. I'm not sure what it's called [06:34] trancefat, try alt-f2 gtk-window-decorator --replace === init is now known as Guest68498 [06:34] fromero691: two separate commands [06:34] sheep_it says to run this command as a super user [06:34] fromero691: try sudo ./vmware-install.pl [06:34] Brack10: and for a lightweight wm you might want to try Icewm or fluxbox, XFCE has gained a few pounds as of late... [06:35] okay my vmlinuz and initrd is removed from my /boot partition. how can i recreat them? [06:35] Brack10, oh, xfce? ignore my advice [06:35] nickrud: but will that change the theme?? [06:35] sheep_just did it started to install im still waiting [06:35] omid8bimo, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) [06:35] hi [06:35] eseven73: I don't need something super duper lightweight, but vmware running 2 windows 2008 server and a vista box is really demanding on my poor little computer [06:35] One thing nice bout ubuntu there's 1500 window managers in the repos to play around with :) [06:35] trancefat, that's for gnome/metacity/compiz [06:36] eseven73: so how do I drop to CLI and launch another one? startx starts gnome of course [06:36] i know the feeling Brack10 i got win xp running as we speak on vbox ose [06:36] nickrud: thanks but where should run that? i can't boot into ubuntu [06:36] sheep_you got it man, thank you so much for your help it's now installing [06:36] im having some serious problems on a dell optiplex sx280, I rebooted and when it came up very little was working, I had to reinsert my mouse and keyboard to get them to work [06:37] networking had to be enabled via ifconfig [06:37] omid8bimo, oh, no boot? you can boot the live cd, mount the hard drive, chroot into it and then reinstall the kernel [06:37] Brack10: i use Icewm and fluxbox when I have my win XP VM running which is like almost 90% of the time :) [06:37] the system was working fine, except a little sluggish, so i rebooted [06:37] nickrud: okay got it. let me try, tanq [06:37] omid8bimo, but I'm not sure how you got to this spot and what's really wrong with your system. Take my advice if it fits your situation [06:38] eseven73: Ok if I use those instead of xfce will you tell me how to do it? :) [06:38] Brack10: I can give you a few tips sure [06:38] launch a separate wm from cli that is [06:38] omid8bimo, don't use the linux-image-$(uname -r) [06:38] nickrud: sure :) [06:38] when i rebooted, i also went and tried hyperthreading, which *might* be a cause, not sure. [06:38] <__deuce__> can someone help me install a wireless patch? [06:38] when i discovered the state of the system i rebooted and turned off hyperthreading again [06:38] anyone uses shoutcast? [06:38] eseven73: No I just need to know how to have gnome start with Ubnuntu, but have the ability to launch another window manager when needed from CLI [06:39] Brack10: ive never done that before, I thought you meant from login [06:39] omid8bimo, install linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic for the latest kernel [06:39] <__deuce__> i keep getting "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input" [06:39] nah [06:39] I know that' just an xorg.conf thing [06:39] nickrud: okay [06:39] because I use vmware to run my test servers for my MS certs [06:40] omid8bimo, assuming intrepid (/me rapidly tries to cover all the bases and his backside) [06:40] Brack10: I just do ctrl Alt Backspace and switch that way [06:40] Thank you all for your help. I think it's pretty good for a safe return. [06:41] also, up arrow now fires 'screenshot' [06:41] nickrud: yes it is intrepid. the problem was i mistakely removed my /boot partition now i want to creat the /boot on the ubuntu / itself [06:41] Probably the wrong place to ask this... but has anybody taken OSX and put... something else on it? (Gnome/Xfce/KDE)? [06:41] omid8bimo, ok, that should do it. you'll want to reinstall any video or other drivers you had, but do it after it boots correctly if possible [06:42] I tried ctrl alt bkspace :) [06:42] didn't work === white-sheep is now known as kinja-sheep [06:43] ok who was helping me with the switching wm thing? [06:43] how do i get back to my windows installation [06:43] when i installed ubuntu, it auto boots to ubuntu [06:43] omid8bimo, oh, you'll want to reinstall grub as well [06:43] woohoo i got wifi working [06:44] and when i press esc to go to the menu before it does, i only see ubuntu options [06:44] How do you ssh into machines on your local network without using ip-address? (using domain name instead... that is). What do I need to install? [06:44] quiksilver: did you do the guided install, use whole hard drive? [06:44] dns? [06:44] i forget which one i did [06:44] i remember it showing windows 25% [06:44] nickrud: i think too :) [06:44] kinja-sheep: u need the ip addr, or need to set up a domain name server [06:44] ubuntu 75% [06:44] kinja-sheep, add a reference in your /etc/hosts file, like ip other-computer where ip is the other computer's ip and other-computer is a name you want to reuse [06:45] kinja-sheep, it'll start working as soon as you save the file [06:45] <__deuce__> who here knows how to install driver patches? am having a bit of trouble [06:45] are there any issues where turning on hyperthreading on a system where hyperthreading was previously turned off may corrupt the system? ubuntu intrepid. [06:45] kinja-sheep + cilabs: Thank. I'm curious more about... setting up domain name server? [06:46] Brack10: is windows gone? [06:46] quiksilver: sounds like it may be gone [06:46] quiksilver: how did you launch the install? [06:46] <__deuce__> quicksilver: sounds like it [06:46] cd [06:46] so you booted to cd from the bios? [06:46] correct [06:46] nickrud: That will work for a computer. I'd like to be able to ssh in -- based on the connected machine (domain) rather than setting up because I find the IP address? [06:47] quiksilver: and in the partitioning section you chose the default setting and ignored warnings? [06:47] i couldnt tell you [06:47] i kinda just guessed [06:47] oh, outside network? or local? [06:47] quiksilver: you probably killed windows then [06:47] i guess thats not a bad thing [06:47] hello how to extra .bin? (ubuntu desktop 8.04) [06:47] nickrud: Local. I see what you mean by /etc/hosts. There are few lines there (localhost + my name). :o [06:48] quiksilver: you need to read the warnings, specially the one that says "YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DRIVE IF YOU PROCEED" [06:48] how can i set environment variables at login so that they'll be passed into processes i start from the desktop (rather than from a shell)? i'm using .bashrc, which is conditionally loaded in .profile, but that trick isn't working for me. [06:48] kinja-sheep: see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/dns.html [06:48] Brack10: everything is backed up, i'll be fine [06:48] kinja-sheep, yep. That's the reaaaaalllllllyyyyyy old way to identify computers, back in the day every machine had every machine in the world in that list :) [06:48] jigp: do you mean extract ? [06:48] quiksilver: Oh ok you're good to go then [06:48] quiksilver: you should stick with Ubuntu, Windows blows [06:48] albuntu : yeah extract [06:48] yes it does. [06:49] nickrud: Lol. Heh. Time changes. :) [06:49] *this opinion does not necessarily reflect those of canoical inc* [06:49] or however you spell it [06:49] kinja-sheep, so you could do ssh kinja@other-computer , if it's ip is identified in that file, as yours is. [06:49] jigp: sudo ./nameofthefile.bin [06:49] cilabs: Thanks. Will take a look. This will only work on the computer with said "dns-related" packages installed? [06:49] <__deuce__> what steps do I need to install a driver patch? [06:50] __deuce__: what do you mean by driver patch [06:50] kinja-sheep: no. it'll work with all the sys's on the network who are identified to the server [06:50] nickrud: Or I could stick with what I usually do -- Create an alias. :) [06:50] Hiiiii...anyone know of dock like AWN, but I can put on the left (or right?) of the screen? Besides Cario (ew ew ew) [06:50] kinja-sheep, yep. But then, you can reference that machine by name for any purpose. http://other-computer, for example. [06:50] <__deuce__> i have a patch that will allow wifi injections, needs installed and am having probs [06:50] cilabs: Thanks. I get the idea (server). I'll bookmark it. I think it's what I'm looking for. ;) [06:50] kinja-sheep, but it's only an option, one of many [06:51] <__deuce__> i keep getting "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input" [06:51] __deuce__: what is this supposed to be patching [06:51] a kernel module? [06:52] kinja-sheep: yes, nickrud's right. its a fairly detailed process, and there are other ways around it. the server option's the one i know when the netowrk is farily large and moves/adds/changes need to be tracked in a central place [06:52] <__deuce__> driver for my wireless card === sleepy_cat is now known as linux_freak [06:52] __deuce__: link to the driver [06:52] or pastebin it [06:53] nickrud + cilabs: I'm in progress of installing 8.04 on my home machines. I think it's more benefits for me in the long run. And I wouldn't want to face some weird bugs eventually. I like the simple thing. Connect regardless of what ip it is... DNS thing.<_< [06:53] __deuce__: I mean link to the patch [06:53] patches patch files [06:53] <__deuce__> bruenig: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2898.0 [06:54] albuntu : but its in the documents.how to go there? [06:54] kinja-sheep, you still have to maintain the list. One place is convenient, but it's also easy to mess up. Something worth learning, though [06:54] anybody installed ubunta on a Asus eee box never used linux before so dont want to much hassle in setting it up advice needed thanks [06:54] <__deuce__> bruenig: that is the driver, now that i reread it [06:55] SkytracK, if someone's there, #ubuntu-eeepc is the place for advice [06:55] ok thanks [06:56] __deuce__: yeah so you need to download the source of the iwl driver, patch it with whatever file you got, then compile it as a module [06:56] <__deuce__> bruenig: http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ sorry about the last link, this is the direct one [06:56] <__deuce__> how do i compile it? [06:56] jigp: the bin file its an executable file and can not be extracted. you can execute it with this command : sudo ./home/snake/jigp/Documents/nameofthefile.bin if the name of your home folder is jigp [06:56] is there a way to restore my system to a previous state? [06:56] oh it is all put together, the patched driver there? [06:56] !compiling [06:56] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:56] can i see which updates have been applied chronologically? [06:58] unomi, grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log , and zgrep installed /var/log/dpkg.log.*.gz [06:58] you can't restore it to a previous state unless you have backups obviously, you can restore the packages you have installed to a previous state by simply removing the ones you have installed since that time and readding the ones you have deleted [06:58] read the logs and have fun [06:58] unomi: depends on how far back as well. Try /var/log/apt/ as well [06:58] this is not the same as restoring the system though because you may have changed configurations, etc. [06:58] unomi, as you can gather, ubuntu doesn't use 'restore points' [06:59] albutu :jigp@jigp:~$ /home/jigp/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd)/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd).bin [06:59] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [06:59] i think i might have installed something that was able to mess up my system [06:59] why would "force create mode" not work in samba?

[07:00] i had to replug my keyboard and mouse after boot, had to run ifconfig and dhclient to get net [07:00] i mean networking capabilities [07:00] jigp, like bash "/home/jpig/Mi --- .bin" [07:00] noone knows samba in here? [07:01] unomi: you obviously had network capabilities as you were able to use ifconfig and dhclient, any thing you are calling "network capabilities" are just front ends for those things anyhow === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [07:01] unomi: so what front end is it that you are without [07:01] jigp, if that fails, by some odd chance, place a \ before each space and parenthesis, like 2000\ 2008\ \(cd\).bin [07:01] <__deuce__> thanks for the help bruenig [07:01] ifconfig showed only loopback [07:02] i had to bring eth0 up by hand [07:02] http://rafb.net/p/MQv5rP71.html [07:02] keppi, seems like the samba people are absent; ask every 10 min or so and one will drop in soon, I'd guess [07:02] my dmesg [07:02] thanks nickrud [07:02] unomi: so your problem is that eth0 wasn't brought up? or is there something more?

[07:23] albuntu yes. the folder is mike now and file mike.bin [07:23] I have samba installed, and the folder shared in vista [07:23] rww can u just gimme a command that i can copy paste [07:23] jigp: no i mean have you edited the files contents ?

[07:24] hello all, is there a way to upgrade from 32bit ubuntu to 64bit without a complete reinstall or having to save the home folder yet? Just curious. [07:24] Slart, it's not installed by default. need something that you dont have to install [07:24] but nothing shows up [07:25] I'am currently using a 16gb Corsair thumb drive picked up for a very good buy - not very much room left though - disk usage reports only about 8gb free - I really like this - it runs really fast and all - would like to pick-up a 32gb next - is there a brand other then Corsair anyone would recommend that would be cheaper but as reliable as the Corsair ? ? [07:25] Has my user, I right click on the tool bar clock, but I can't adjust the date or time. I click on unlock, enter my user password, and fail authentication. What's up? [07:25] and if noone here can help, can someon at least point me towards a networking room [07:25] albuntu : is there a know application to extract this bin? [07:25] Flynsarmy: then I don't know of anything [07:25] tsai0: Nope. To go from 32bit to 64bit you have to reinstall. [07:25] As [07:25] rww ubottu ok so here it is can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed [07:25] tsai0: nope.. you need to reinstall [07:25] jigp: it should run normally even if you double click it and click run from the options that you get [07:26] is there a way that I don4t have manually select my proxy at work and deselect it when I am connected at home [07:26] transporter_: Are you going to try the commands that I gave you, or ignore me? [07:26] rww: , Slart: are you on 64bit? [07:26] tsai0: yes [07:26] no rww i did try ur command im sending u a pastebin gimme a sec [07:26] tsai0: yes, I am. [07:26] paul68: just in firefox? [07:26] So no one has any hints? [07:27] at least someone tell me of another room that could help then? [07:27] Is there a brand of 32gb thumb drive someone would recommend ? ? [07:27] Greencoat1982: have you read the documentation for samba? [07:27] miranda_psi: I guess so since its a http proxy here at work [07:27] Slart: , rww: did you get flash working without a lot of reworking. I had Debian 64bit installed before and flash was my biggest issue like a year and a half ago. [07:27] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107241/ [07:27] tsai0: yes [07:27] yes, and I can't figure it out, trust me this is always the last place I look for help [07:27] tsai0: Flash worked fine for me. Just had to sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:27] I've forgotten KDE setting up, been so long ... where do you change the colour and outline of the desktop text under the icons? there is a foreground and background, normally white on black [07:28] paul68: try looking at foxy proxy - it will at least make life easier [07:28] I had intrepid on my desktop but wanted to try the 64 bit version of vista [07:28] hey rww do you know anything about eggdrop? === Dexi is now known as Guest83387 [07:28] Greencoat1982: hmm.. then I can't really help you further, sorry [07:28] transporter_: Okay. What happens when you do "cairo-clock -t simple" (for example)? [07:28] I had it set up nicely before so that I could just network into the desktop and watch my content, [07:28] Greencoat1982: although I can tell you that samba is the way to go, afaik [07:29] Guest83387: I know what it is, yes. [07:29] rww: should i copy paste that? [07:29] is there a samba channel? [07:29] er [07:29] miranda_psi: now I have to go to system prefs and network proxy to adapt these manually [07:29] transporter_: type cairo-clock -t simple in a terminal, yes [07:29] dammit how did i end up as a guest [07:29] Greencoat1982: yes [07:29] Greencoat1982: not sure.. ##samba or #samba perhaps [07:29] albuntu : ok what application to choose?I tried k3b but no luck [07:29] rww: , Slart: Thanks, that anwers my question.. Hmm? I wonder if I create a new partition, can I somehow migrate the home folder from the 32bit partition? === Guest83387 is now known as Dexi [07:29] Guest83387: I assume you didn't identify with nickserv [07:29] Here's a question for anyone!!! [07:29] Dexi: see above [07:29] haha rww yeah that was it [07:30] tsai0: yes, you can just copy the files to a new partition.. make sure to not overwrite that new partition with something else though [07:30] tsai0: You can just move the files across after setup, yeah. Or do something like !separatehome [07:30] rww i can see the clock [07:30] jigp: i dont know an aplication. it should execute normally with the commands i gave you before [07:30] !separatehome | tsai0 [07:30] tsai0: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:30] rww: when i run it with -n it runs fine, but without -n it wont connect to the server and i cant telnet in [07:30] transporter_: Okay, so it works if you specify a theme with -t? [07:30] tsai0; It was really easy - just booted to a live Ubuntu CD and went to System/Administration/Create a USB startup disk - I was trying to do this with a 8gb USB and it would not work - picked up 16gb today and everything installed wonderful - that's what I'm running from right now. [07:30] why when an osx client writes to a samba share, it ignores "force create mode" [07:30] albuntu : its not .cue right? [07:31] albuntu : I've seen .cue here [07:31] anyone know of a good guide to fixing compiz causing video flashing on 8.10 [07:31] rww: looks like it yeah [07:31] When I bought my computer, the hard drive was already partitioned between C: and D: I then installed ubuntu on d:, and C:, which had windows corrupted. Is there anyway to retrieve that partition using ubuntu? [07:31] ubottu: , nite_johnboy: i will have to try this. thanks all [07:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:31] rww: now what? [07:31] tsai0: bye bye [07:31] transporter_: Okay. Well, either pick a theme and run it with a -t switch, or figure out which part of your cairo-clock or cairo configuration is broken. [07:31] paul68: do you actually use anything other than firefox at work? if not then give foxy proxy a go - don't know anything for system wide... [07:32] transporter_: I don't use cairo much, so I'm not sure how to help you diagnose that. [07:32] how can i install JavaSE6 Update 11 in ubuntu, i download the linux package, but where is supposed to be, at the root directory, at the usr, ?? [07:32] rww: its something do to with the permissions [07:32] miranda_psi: I also use msn mails and yes firefox also [07:32] how to configure mutt for POP and SMTP? [07:32] anyone? [07:32] When I bought my computer, the hard drive was already partitioned between C: and D: I then installed ubuntu on d:, and C:, which had windows corrupted. Is there anyway to retrieve that partition using ubuntu? [07:32] Greencoat1982: this guy got it to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315916 [07:32] rww: i need to switch the permission to a normal user [07:32] tsai0: this is really cool I can basically take this to any computer and boot to it - nice - Is there any brand USB you like best - Will be getting a 32gb soon ? [07:33] rdw200169: hi my friend happy new year to you [07:33] paul68: hey, you too [07:33] transporter_: Did you run something cairo-related with administrative privilages? it might have made some part of your user-specific cairo configuration owned by root. [07:33] paul68: how's the firewall going? [07:34] rdw200169: working like a charm thanks to your help just having a puzzle at this point with the proxy server at work [07:34] Can anyone help in making my own menu? Is there an app for this? I want to make my own drop down menu like Applications. [07:34] rww: no i did not do anything [07:34] hey ... anyone know of a fix for getting compiz to stop skipping video ... switching to metacity works but was hoping for a compiz fix ... video is ATI card [07:34] rdw200169 that only seems to be for previous distros [07:34] xxCody: wxWidgets [07:34] purple monkey dish-water [07:34] Greencoat1982: have you tried the fix from the last post? [07:35] hallo everyone [07:35] transporter_: Okay, then I doubt it's a permissions thing. As I said, something in your cairo configuration in your home foder is probably broken, and running as root is using root's cairo configuration, hence it working. I doubt it's a permissions issue, or many more people would be having it. [07:35] mountx: i had the same problem for a while with Nvidia, then I upgraded to the latest drivers then it went away [07:35] ik_: hi hi hi [07:35] rww: i tried uninstalling reinstalling it did not work [07:35] mountx: i also had that problem when i used compiz on multiple displays, now I don't do that... [07:35] Thats coding. very good answer though lol. [07:35] anyone who can help me with floola? [07:35] rdw: does envy install the latest drivers? [07:35] paul68: for firefox you could use foxy proxy, and use say pidgin at home and empathy at work (not ideal, but a workaround...) [07:35] transporter_: uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't remove the cairo configuration stuff in your home folder. [07:36] Is there another app for have a menu? [07:36] paul68: proxy servers are a *pain* [07:36] rww: what do i do? [07:36] paul68: you never know what kind of filtering they're doing... [07:36] rdw200169 it just said no application is set to handle [07:36] mountx: As far as I know, there's no fix for that, unfortunately. The fglrx driver has problems with compiz+video and compiz+gaming, and the usual solution is to temporarily disable compiz while watching videos or gaming. [07:36] rww: please think of something (brb) [07:37] Greencoat1982: i don't know, that's the best I found... personally I avoid Samba and Windows file sharing at all costs, it's just a pain, even on windows! [07:37] Greencoat1982: did you know that Vista can't even file share with XP??? [07:37] transporter_: figure out which part of your cairo configuration is broken. heck, delete the cairo settings in your home folder if that isn't too inconvenient. As I've said already, I don't use cairo, and I /can't/ use it right now, so I can't diagnose it further. [07:37] I know but what other option do I have for accessing the files on my vista box [07:37] ok ... that's what i've been doing ... tried several 'fixes' w/ no results [07:37] rdw200169: well the thing is that I want to be able to connect automaticly to the proxy at work and automaticly connect to the homenetwork without proxy when I am at home [07:38] no-one who know how to use floola on ubuntu 8.10? [07:38] paul68: from the same linux box? [07:38] yeah, MS is alround crap, but I wanted to try some games on vista [07:38] just haven't reinstalled the dual boot yet [07:38] Greencoat1982: so you're just trying to access files in there? [07:38] why dual boot ... just virtualbox it [07:38] yes [07:38] rww: i don't have a problem with anything i can alwayz reinstall it so i pretty much think i get my settings back if i wanted to right [07:38] rdw200169: with the same laptop yes now I have to go to system prefs network proxy to adapt the settings and I am to lazy lol to do this each time [07:39] mountx: virtualbox and games don't work well together =/ [07:39] because the virtual box wasn't running very good [07:39] ahh .. <-- not much of a gamer [07:39] paul68: ah, i see, that *is* pretty lazy! [07:39] albuuntu : I got it now. it has been extracted now.its mike.iso now. how to extract iso? [07:39] well the main game I play works well in linux with win, but some of the newer ones can get real buggy [07:39] paul68: and it's such a handy tool, too! [07:40] my g/f plays spore and sims ... are those doable on linux? [07:40] The only semi-worthwhile product MS has ever made is the xbox and 360 [07:40] floola? [07:40] jigp: you can mount the iso, mount -o loop src.iso /mountpoint [07:40] Dexi: Hrm, that's weird. Not sure how to help, unfortunately :/ [07:40] spore no, thats why I went to vista to play it [07:40] anywnl [07:40] rdw200169: since my laptop can connect to both wifi networks without any manual input I was wondering if I could achieve the same with the proxy connection [07:40] sims I don't know, but doubt it [07:41] mountx: Nope, neither of them work well at all on Wine. [07:41] paul68: reluctantly, i don't think there's a solution for that yet, until NetworkManager comes out with Proxy support per-connection [07:41] rww: its ok [07:41] help for floola [07:41] plz [07:41] paul68: i'm assuming that's what you're talking about, as far as automatically connecting to wireless connections [07:42] Dexi: You could maybe ask in the Eggdrop IRC channels ( http://www.eggheads.org/support/ ) [07:42] hello [07:42] rww: i tried they are all bare... nobody to answer me lol [07:42] has anyone had success w/ blackberry's and wine/virtualbox?

[07:48] rdw200169: ok I will have to snoop around a bit thanks for your help and talk to you soon, getting busy here at work [07:48] paul68: so, i'm assuming that if you change the entry with "use_http_proxy" to value="true" it would turn on the proxy [07:48] rdw200169: seems logic [07:49] SingAlong: there are plenty of tools to search for files in linux.. try locate or find [07:49] How can I save video from camera?

[07:56] rdw200169: thanks for your help gotta go now since the phone is getting red heated lol [07:56] how do i disable routine disk check? [07:56] paul68: you may also want to read this: http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/NetworkManager%20DBUS%20API.txt [07:57] rdw200169: ok thanks === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:58] * paul68 really walking out a here now [07:58] yao ... you probably don't want to do that [07:58] but ctr+c, ctrl+d [07:59] mountx: ok. and how to run a manual disk check? [08:00] mountx: i'll google for the second question [08:00] not sure [08:00] there's probably a util out there [08:01] how strange, the system has been working faultlessly for weeks, and now this [08:01] mountx: I don't understand this ip address buisness. its obviosuly not my 192.168.x.x ip address [08:01] no [08:01] Any excellent "Spider Solitaire" game? I have been checking out the forums and some games are... blah. [08:01] where are you trying to ssh to ... an external or do you have something virtual going on? [08:01] its the address from whatismyip.com ? [08:01] got rid of the screenshot issue by going to keyboard shortcuts; which ive never opened before [08:02] I have a desktop and a laptop [08:02] do you have a firewall? [08:02] I just want to tunnel so I can vnc [08:02] Is it just me or is the system requirement for the last two releases require more (better, faster, newer) hardware [08:02] no firewall [08:02] doseryder ... that's cpu's for you [08:02] hello [08:03] how to reinstall the package after applying a patch? dpkg-reconfigure? [08:03] doseryder the last two ubuntu releases have included compiz as there windows manager. [08:04] mountx: yea.. I'm using p4 3.2 (mildly oc'd to 3.36) with a fairly recent video card (tho its a ATI (Oh No)) and 2 gigs of high quality ram (dual chan) [08:04] chaqui so your trying to ssh to another cpu ... your localaddress for that cpu should work if your on the same router [08:05] My first ever ubuntu release was 6.10 (Can't remember what the code name was) and it was kinda smooth [08:05] I remember the 5.0x days ... bad times .. but worked well as a server [08:05] doseryder: Edgy? [08:05] now I got my whole family on ubuntu(mint at least) [08:05] mountx: and it does, now what I want to do is do it from my parents house, or wheveer else I may find the internet. [08:06] I think so, if feisty is the subsequent release [08:06] mountx: so would that be like "ssh user@gatewayip? [08:06] s/is/was/ [08:06] " [08:06] you need to fwd a port to the computer you want to ssh into ... i.e. forward port 22 to 192.168.x.x port 22 [08:07] then you will ssh to your outside IP [08:07] oh wow, now port forwarding makes so much sense to me [08:08] since port 22 is the defualt port for openssh I won't even need to distinguish it right? [08:09] You might wanna fix (associate) an Local IP to the host running ssh-server too [08:09] Hi, how can I install localeconf for 8.04 - I understand its no longer in the repositories but how do you install it? [08:09] no ... you should be fine unless you've made changes in /etc/ssh/ [08:10] but I would suggest disabling root logins via ssh [08:11] is there a dock that won't need compositing? [08:11] do I do that through services? [08:12] mountx: hey do you know anything about installing printers (CUPS or whatever)? [08:12] you might be able to ... check out /etc/ssh/sshd_conf [08:12] question: I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, any recommendations for getting an "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x" wifi chip working? It worked out of box on Fedora 10 so I know the support is out there [08:12] I don't have a printer .. cups disabled for me ;} [08:12] hello I'm going to install kubuntu 8.04 lts from the internet with the minimal cd, does it come with kde 4.1.4? [08:12] ok silly question maybe; should '/etc/network/interfaces' list eth0 ? [08:13] how to reinstall the package after applying a patch? dpkg-reconfigure? [08:15] whats the command to navigate...ch? /home.... [08:15] DwightShroot, cd /home [08:15] cd ~/ [08:15] thanks [08:15] Any ideas on getting localeconf installed? Its not in repositories? [08:16] mountx: since you're on the topic of ssh with the other dude, I can't remember what/where file contains the "banner" (i.e. the message banner, when the client FIRST login) [08:16] lemme check [08:16] you know what I'm talking about tho right? [08:16] how weird is this?! : my /etc/network/interfaces [08:16] auto lo [08:16] iface lo inet loopback [08:16] the end [08:16] cd /etc/ [08:17] woops ... wrong window [08:17] this aint no terminal-emulator :p [08:18] hello I'm going to install kubuntu 8.04 lts from the internet with the minimal cd, does it come with kde 4.1.4? [08:18] mountx: while you are there, can you tell me whats in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [08:18] ops sorry for repeating [08:18] i can tell you that auto lo [08:18] doseryder: that banner thing is at /etc/motd; location is configurable in sshd configuration. [08:19] iface lo inet loopback [08:19] weird, no mention of eth0 ? [08:19] nope .. never seen that on a lin install .. maybe just me though [08:19] alexandroos: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.04-release [08:19] aight cool. I totally forgot. [08:20] alexandroos: Kubuntu Hardy comes with KDE 3.something, if I remember correctly. Intrepid has 4.1 [08:20] i remember a program to enable the mouse in cli (to facilitate easy copying/pasting of text) i cant find the package name, can anyone point me to it [08:20] unomi, mountx: /etc/network/interfaces only has lo in it by default, because NetworkManager deals with eth0 and other interfaces. You can add eth0 if you want it to be managed by ifup/ifdown [08:21] rww well networkmanager has stopped working for some reason [08:21] i don't use networkmanager [08:21] does that make a diff? [08:21] unomi: feel free to add an eth0 stanza if you want. The configuration format is in "man interfaces" [08:21] alexandroos: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-release it has 4.1.2 [08:22] its weird its just stopped working though [08:22] alexandroos: 8.04 isn't LTS for Kubuntu either. So you're not losing much by going with 8.10 [08:22] How do I upgrade to 8.10? [08:22] !upgrade | Theaxiom [08:22] makes me worry that more things 'under the hood' are not working as they should [08:22] Theaxiom: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:22] /timestamps = off [08:22] rww, when you say NetworkManager, are you referring to nm-applet? [08:22] thx Flannel [08:22] thanks unomi and Flannel [08:23] doseryder: nm-applet is an applet that allows you to control the NetworkManager system [08:23] I'm off see you later guys ba bye [08:23] later [08:23] is network manager any good? [08:23] bye alex [08:24] nm is good [08:24] supports mobile phones also [08:24] Tekno: when did it get better? [08:24] (gconf-editor:6034): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: [08:24] None of the authentication protocols specified are supported. [08:24] arghh2d2: It's the default in recent versions of Ubuntu. Some people have problems with it and find other network control methods (like ifup/ifdown, wicd, etc.) better. [08:24] how do you change the locale settings through terminal? [08:24] rww, yeah, count me in as one of those [08:24] arghh2d2: works with 3G networking very good [08:25] wicd doesnt support at all [08:25] !locale | PC_Nerd [08:25] PC_Nerd: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [08:25] ubottu: that uses localeconf which I cannot install... its not in the repo's and I cant find any documentation post dapper. [08:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:26] * doseryder taking notes... [08:26] anyone know samba in here? [08:26] 2222 [08:26] PC_Nerd: I've used http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/01/how-to-change-your-default-locale-on.html before successfully. Try that. [08:26] I did an ssh an im inside my iphone and have navigated to the folder i wanted, is there a way i can add files off my desktop to the folder [08:26] PC_Nerd: its a bot isnt it? [08:26] huh? - thanks rww [08:26] DwightShroot: sftp to iphone? [08:27] PC_Nerd: by the way, Ubottu is a bot. People tell it to send factoids with messages like "!factoid | nickname" [08:27] !ubottu [08:27] 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 [08:27] sound has also stopped working i just found [08:27] arghh2d2: is that the same as using the gftp program [08:28] DwightShroot: dont think so [08:28] maybe [08:28] is there a system wide 'reconfigure' command? [08:28] arghh2d2: how do i sftp [08:28] T [08:29] I am in trouble, I only have 7.1MB available in /boot and it won't let me upgrade... [08:29] DwightShroot: i sftp to my ssh account go to the folder i want to put things in and just type 'put /path/to/file' [08:29] Theaxiom: Remove some of your old kernels [08:29] unomi I had a smart ass comment ... but I'll save it [08:29] does anybody know why the battery panel in gnome shows a shorter remaining duration than acpi? [08:29] seriously considering a reinstall [08:30] ... unomi .. don't lose the battle ... this isn't windows [08:30] everything can be fixed ... most of the time [08:30] arghh2d2: kind of a newb,..... [08:30] Flannel: can I get rid of everything that is not 2.6.24-23? [08:30] ...by a reinstall ;) [08:30] :-/ [08:30] ok, but how to find out what to fix [08:31] what's wrong? [08:31] dmesg doesnt really have anything useful [08:31] devex: One gets information directly from the battery, the other estimates based on recent battery level changes. Unfortunately, I don't remember which is which =/ [08:31] I just noticed that on boot my machine (ubuntu server) says "Cannot set system time to xxxxxxxxxx" Where "xxxxx" is UTC time..... it says it twice. is that a major issue? [08:31] rww: ah thx :) [08:31] Theaxiom: Do it from your package manager. And remove all of the old linux-image-version stuff (that isn't the current one) [08:31] DwightShroot: sftp the same as you would ssh 'ssh dwightshr@iphone.or.whatever [08:31] no sound, no network on boot, usb devices that are connected on startup have to be reconnected to be usable [08:31] Flannel: thanks so much, you da man! [08:31] had a keyboard thing where up arrow fired screenshot [08:31] ok lets start w/ no sound [08:31] but that is no resolved [08:31] what's your device ... lspci [08:31] in terminal [08:32] Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [08:32] what v. of ubuntu [08:32] intrepid [08:33] OK [08:33] 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 15 11:03:58 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [08:33] hmm, should that really be SMP? [08:33] afaik its a single core with hyperthreading [08:33] smp rules [08:34] unomi: which processor? [08:34] smp is the next best thing to a realtime kernel isnt it? [08:34] arghh2d2: i dont have an sftp account [08:35] CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping 04 [08:35] arghh2d2: *ssh account [08:35] DwightShroot: well sorry, i'm not sure about how to transfer files thru ssh [08:35] if i turn on hyperthreading dmesg will tell me its brought on 2 cores (double the bogomips) [08:35] unomi: I think the P4 is supposed to use SMP. Hyperthreading is helped by it. [08:35] scp [08:36] unomi: I've never actually used one, though, so I'm not sure. [08:36] Dwight -- scp [08:36] unomi ... run alsamixer in terminal just to make sure [08:37] how do i make an ubuntu boot cd [08:37] No mixer elems found [08:37] alfdavid: Download a CD image at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download then follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [08:38] hey everyone - does anyone know how to get the Atheros AR5007EG AR5BXB63 to work in ubuntu [08:39] ? [08:39] arghh2d2: is there a command to import to a folder in the terminal ex: i want to import i file from /home/music to /home/other [08:40] has anyone ever messed with this wifi card? [08:40] Dwight what do you mean ... copy? [08:40] unomi ... still googling around for you [08:40] mountx: yeah [08:40] arch3angel: i think madwifi is like ndiswrapper but specifically for the atheros chipset [08:41] cp /from/location /to/location [08:41] Morning [08:41] DwightShroot: i think you need to take the other advice about scp [08:41] i have adsl2, and get full speed through my wireless card in my desktop [08:41] same as if I had the cable connected [08:41] 15 megabits [08:41] hello all, i'm looking for the best solution to backup an entire hard disk, I have my ubuntu system configured just the way I like it,,,,,however if I ever have a HD failure I would like to be able to use a cd/dvd perhaps to install to the new drive [08:41] Flannel: Would I be unchecking the linux-headers and the linux-image that are lower than the highest version? [08:41] Theaxiom: linux-image [08:41] odd thing is 8.10 shows the driver but it fails to work [08:42] strange [08:42] arch3angel: I just had to get my atheros working [08:42] Flannel: thanks [08:42] anyone???? [08:42] how did ya do it [08:42] me? [08:42] !backup | srx2002 [08:42] good for you MinusSeven good for you [08:42] srx2002: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [08:42] WalterMundt: how did you do it [08:42] srx2002: personally, I'd recommend sbackup [08:42] arch3angel: disable the atheros driver in the hardware thingy, install a backports-modules package (not ure of the exact name), reboot [08:42] !sbackup | srx2002 [08:42] srx2002: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [08:42] just thought I'd tell everyone [08:42] unomi ... have you compiled alsa from source? [08:42] arghh2d2: what was scp [08:42] I was caught in the trap thinking 54 megabit wireless would be fine [08:42] arch3angel: that worked for me; I'm on a Jaunty alpha but the forum post I read suggesting it was for intrepid [08:43] secure copy [08:43] WalterMundt: do you have a link to a tutorial [08:43] but have 108 megabit wireless [08:43] sec [08:43] Anyone use a Quickcam on Ubuntu? I can't find a good writeup on how to get it working [08:43] it's like ftp except thru ssh [08:43] WalterMundt: thx [08:43] hi Yanz [08:43] sbckup [08:43] or you can do an rsync [08:43] Hello [08:43] I prefer rsync [08:43] srx2002: copy to any other drive, the tricky part is making grub load it [08:44] arch3angel: here's here I got it from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1026770 [08:44] yeah..that's what I mean..I'm not very good at the command line stuff [08:44] Flannel: Why does it keep the old kernel images? [08:44] damn, i'm way behind, forgot i scrolled up and didnt come back down [08:44] has anyone here tried install Ubuntu Server on a remote dedicated box? [08:44] basically, you need to install linux-backports-modules-[your version] from Synaptic [08:44] Theaxiom: Because at least one known good old one is important to have around, in case of regression (new kernel doesn't work, you can boot to an older one) [08:44] WalterMundt: thanks [08:44] I'd just like to insert the dvd/cd press a few buttons, answer a few questions and VOILA!! everything back to the way it was [08:45] which model card do you have [08:45] Flannel: ahh yes, smart [08:45] just trying to find out the options [08:45] I have a package question. I am considering compiling a newer version from source of an application than what is installed already from a package. What is the best way to handle that? Should I uninstall the current package before compiling the application from source? [08:45] I guess I could be asking too much [08:45] arch3angel: mine is the AR242x in that thread [08:45] !install | Gorlist [08:45] Gorlist: 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 [08:45] Gorlist: That page (first link) has two(?) methods [08:45] arch3angel: yours is different, but since the driver you switch to from that process is called "ath5k" I thought it might help you [08:45] srx2002: its not much, you just need to spend 30 minutes learning about 'grub' [08:45] Atheros AR5007EG AR5BXB63 <-- thats mine [08:45] Flannel: will take alook, ta [08:45] ok [08:46] i will give it a shoot - anything to get it working :) [08:46] arch3angel: good luck! [08:46] partimage? [08:46] thanks [08:46] whuffor_: I would uninstall the old package first yes.. you might want to look at checkinstall too.. I think it might be useful [08:46] time to jump off and try to figure this out :) -- thanks again [08:47] Slart: Ah yes. I remember vaguely about checkinstall. I will look into it. Thanks for the assist [08:47] whuffor_: More info on checkinstall at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [08:48] rww: Cool. Thanks again [08:48] is there any guide on howto using the "Remote desktop" feature, so I may assist someone remotely? I know how to configure vino-preferences, but how to connect to the remote desktop ? [08:48] mountx, no i havent compiled it from source [08:49] everything was working out of the box for weeks untill this morning [08:49] what did you change this morning ... reboot anything? [08:49] just rebooted [08:49] it had been a few days since the last reboot [08:50] I also tried the hyperthreading capability, turned it on in bios just to see [08:50] x1250: Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer > Connect [08:50] dont know if it is related, it came up with the issues i have now, so i reverted to non-hyperthreading [08:50] x1250: you need the host (that is, the IP address of the destination you want to control) [08:50] Hey everyone, I have an announcement to make. Flannel is the man, he is extremely helpful and is usually the first person to answer all my questions. Thanks Flannel! [08:51] i don't think that has anything to do w/ it ... but I could be wrong ... i have a similar intel card and have had probs w/ it also [08:51] savvas, got it thanks [08:51] but some tweaks have got it worked out [08:51] do you have pulse audio installed? [08:51] Hello. Ubuntu 8.10 Turkish locale. I can't reach Software Sources via System > Administration. It doesn't respond. And what's more, I can't change repositories via synaptic. It keeps saying "repositories changed, you have to click on the reload button"; I reload but the result is still the same. Any idea? [08:51] yes [08:51] guys, i'm putting debian on a nas server and need help with setting up software raid1. SHOULD I MIRROR SWAP or not? everywhere i look, i get different information... [08:52] Flannel: http://tinyurl.com/3exghs seems to be the easiest (ive debootstrap but not keen) - only concern I will be connected via SSH, so the install has to be somewhat automated along with providing a root username/password and config network [08:52] * arghh2d2 is waiting for his chance to help Theaxiom, he'll show that smug Flannel who's helpful [08:52] in Kubuntu, where do you change the colour and outline of the desktop text under the icons? there is a foreground and background, normally white on black [08:52] removing pulse helped my sys... i had a reverberation in the audio forever till it drove me fix it [08:52] marenostrum: You could change the repositories manually, maybe. The configuration file is /etc/apt/sources.list. After you change it, reload package data with sudo apt-get update. [08:53] mountx: what did you do? i hate how it sounds [08:53] Owner, i would suggest no, if you can place it on another disk [08:53] removed pulse ... It was a last resort ... but it worked [08:53] can't promise any results [08:53] @rww thanks. I'll give it a try [08:54] mountx: did you put alsa in? [08:54] jim_p: i only have the two identical drives that i want to mirror but i need to be sure the system won't crash is one goes bad. [08:54] i had both alsa and pulse [08:54] Anyone know a good lite program to burn movies to DVD? [08:54] jim_p: IF [08:54] not sure why .. but removing pulse fixed all my audio probs [08:54] Owner, then mirror the swap [08:54] moin [08:54] too [08:54] ^ here's your chance arghh2d2 [08:54] Owner are you tying to set up RAID?

[08:56] wtf, i cant even see Theaxiom's post, just people replying [08:57] Theaxiom: yeah you can, actually though i think i went with k3b (vds) [08:57] arghh2d2: I am looking for a good program to burn movies to DVD to play them in a DVD player/ [08:57] i like brasero ... don't burn dvd's though [08:57] Theaxiom: super lit burn program --> bashburn [08:57] (vcds) [08:57] jim_p: ty [08:57] Theaxiom: what kind of movies?

[09:24] Theaxiom: But, there's nothing syaing you have to upgrade from 8.04; you can stick with 8.04 until 10.04 comes out, and then upgrade directly to that (LTS).

Again, it'd be nice if you'd be more specific. The Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) installer has an option for manual partitioning, and you haven't said whether you need help with it (or specific questions if you do).

[10:58] mountx: yeah, i'm hitting 8M on speedtest, freakin' straing [10:58] mountx: strange [10:58] Onide: don't you have a swap partition? swapfiles are useful as alternative, or as additional [10:58] Onide: check if you have free space on disk first, it is most common problem i have seen, try df -h comman [10:58] rdw200169, nice [10:58] mountx: that, and i don't have incessant timeouts on the ubuntu repos anymore; again, strange [10:58] oCean_ I'm not even sure what a swap partition is =( , all i know for certain is that even "startx" wont boot me into GUI [10:59] i can use my scanner only as root [10:59] Onide, Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [10:59] yes i have muixers i can adjust the volume off ... alike ... master front pcm surtround ... upto IEC958 [10:59] mountx: this has *got* to do with tcp windowing or something [10:59] evowill_: ok I'll check that out thank you [10:59] how's it sound? [10:59] Onide: use "swapon -a" to activate all available swap areas and "swapon -l" to list active areas [10:59] Hi, how would I scan for a "persona" in a bunch of files? [10:59] oCean_: ok ill try that too, thank you [11:00] i did add my user to the scanner-group like that: sudo usermod -a -G scanner name [11:00] mountx: no sound yet [11:00] Onide: if it doesn't work, i can show you how to create (extra) swapfile [11:00] Could somebody tell me how to compile from source? I'm trying to see if the pidgin plugin works well. What instruction / package do I need? [11:00] but xsane says it doesnot find a device [11:00] which other rights are necessary for using a scanner? [11:00] should i install esound ? [11:00] !compile [11:00] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [11:01] !packages [11:01] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [11:01] ziroday, you can use something like regexxer [11:01] anyone out there able to help with monitor resolution issues? [11:01] evowill_: I was thinking more along the lines of grep? [11:01] Hi! I just installed linux-image-2.6.18-6-686, but uname -r still says I have 2.6.9-023stab048.4-enterprise. How do I make sure that I really have 2.6.18-6-686? [11:01] ziroday, if you are looking for a GUI [11:01] im still trying to remember that wireless conf ... but iwconf ... is way better ... like VIM sort of [11:01] evowill_: ah right [11:02] Onide: to list use "swapon -s" not "swapon -l" [11:02] ok ... megarom you've got alsa but it's f... we'll not good ... so you need to recompile [11:02] mountx: what can i try after pulseaudio is removed ? [11:02] whart are the nessecairy steps ? [11:02] In drive properties, there are some custom commands, what is a file system command so that I can read/write? [11:02] megarom: just switch the sound settings to alsa [11:02] your on intrepid right [11:02] oCean_: ok i did that, "/dev/sda7 it tells me [11:03] if i use wine which gives functionality and looks of window on linux...then what is the difference using linux over window...can u plz tell me [11:03] megarom: b/c alsa was always there [11:03] yep alsa is a not so friendly necessary [11:03] Gotu: i think you've got wine misunderstood. it doesn't give the 'looks' of windows. it is a tool that runs windows applications in linux. [11:03] why my kino cant capture video from camera? [11:03] on some system ... especially intel based HD systems it needs to be compiled [11:04] Onide: well, so there is a swap partition active. I'm not sure why adding would enable starting X environment [11:04] can anyone help me fix KINO to capture video from video camera? [11:04] if you use ubuntu studio. .. it will usually pick up what you have ... but straight ubuntu usually doesn't [11:04] bb ... jas [11:04] Gotu: the question really is why is there is wine. wine exists for people who want the freedom of linux, but need to run a windows-only application [11:04] I just want to use my USB drive! [11:04] Gotu: developers basically integrated all the windows dll files (re-engineered) for the linux kernel backend, among other things. this way, windows apps *think* they're running in windows when in actuality they were always running in linux [11:05] Onide: only this problem after hybernate? After complete reboot, X does start? [11:05] Photoguy what's the problem? [11:05] Gotu: on a side point, the wine devs have worked long and hard to dispel the notion that wine is an 'emulator'. it's not. and, they deserve a whole heck of a lot of credit for what they've accomplished [11:05] I can't acces my USB drive, it says it's read only.. [11:06] I don't have a lock switch [11:06] So it's not that [11:06] hello. can anybody help me with "aspell" ? [11:06] !aspell [11:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about aspell [11:06] Rats [11:06] go to terminal, type 'man aspell' [11:06] I would like add words to a aspell word book [11:06] rdw200169, true .. wine is a piece of art for what they've made possible [11:06] Package openldapd is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- i get this. what to do? [11:06] Photoguy, in a terminal type ls -la /media/ [11:06] with aspell -a "*Bla" is is ok [11:07] Kartagis: you're thinking of slapd [11:07] Ok [11:07] with echo "*Bla" |aspell -a not [11:07] Kartagis: that's the actual name for openldap [11:07] What does it say there? [11:07] can anyone help me fix KINO to capture video from video camera? [11:07] Hold on Pastebin [11:08] mountx: i keep saying that in a couple years they'll have it down to a perfect science, such that the time between a windows app release and its' compatibility with linux is very short [11:08] mick02: this is the one I want to use http://pastebin.com/m49dee9f5 [11:08] hi, i kinda repaired my ubuntu and after rebooting into it now the Broadcom STA wireless driver is not there. can anyone help? [11:08] woohoo! it worked. kubuntu is finally installed.! :) can i add edubuntu as a module into kubuntu? [11:08] rdw200169, hopefully they'll have it like virtualbox where an app will run better than it will in windows [11:09] when I try to access Users and Groups, i get a message saying i'm not allowed to access the system configuration - how do I allow myself access? [11:09] mountx: linux may have it's faults. regardless, i've had brilliant success getting World of Warcraft running on a myriad of Ubuntu installations [11:09] megarom, you there? [11:10] rdw200169, I wish I had the same success with spore ... then my g/f would stop hating me so much [11:10] aeosynth: isn't there a "unlock" button or similar? [11:10] ThoMe: try echo "Bla" | xargs aspell -a {} [11:10] mountx: are you running the latest wine binaries? i've been using the wine ppa for ages now [11:10] hi, i kinda repaired my ubuntu and after rebooting into it now the Broadcom STA wireless driver is not there. can anyone help? [11:10] Slart: I don't see any [11:10] aeosynth: lower right corner?

[11:11] sipior: hello. the same. @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.6) [11:11] with 1315 users, there has to be at least one who can help me fix my screen resolution issue [11:11] yezs mountx ... was just smoking a sig out back [11:11] rdw200169, no ... i haven't messed w/ it ... will it run spore or even the sims ... please tell me so [11:11] Slart: Nope, just - The configuration could not be loaded You are not allowed to access the system configuration. [11:11] just seruck [11:11] megarom, ... i'm about to do the same [11:11] aeosynth: you are running intrepid, right? [11:11] hehe [11:11] mountx: well, i don't know. i do know, though, that it's a lot more stable [11:11] damn semawhores ;) [11:12] Slart: Yeah. My default profile got busted so I'm trying to migrate to a new one [11:12] sipior: mom [11:12] the broadcom sta driver disappeared from my hardware drivers menu in gnome restricted drivers. how can i add it back? [11:12] mountx: when i finally got pulseaudio working w/ wine, i was set with foobar2000! [11:12] megarom, follow this guide and if it doesn't get fixed ... i'll be on tomorrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:12] brb [11:12] broadcom o.O buy other [11:12] sipior: mo [11:12] aeosynth: hmm.. you might have to add users using the command line then.. I can never remember if it's useradd or adduser that is the right command to use. I think they both exist [11:13] sipior: http://paste.keks.be/236 this works good so [11:13] okey mayber carch u later ...? like tommoroz [11:13] omid8bimo, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules [11:13] Slart: I added myself to all the same groups as my default profile, I can run synaptic and sudo, but this and a few others aren't working [11:13] I'm on friends laptop. There is no video output (from mplayer or totem) while playing avi. HW is Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integr graph controller. Uses "intel" in xorg.conf, glxgears/glxheads work fine. No errors, just no video output. Suggestions? [11:13] evowill_: thanks dude [11:13] aeosynth: oh.. you've already created a new user? [11:13] Slart: I've already added the user - I'm on the new profile right now [11:13] omid8bimo, np [11:14] aeosynth: ah.. hmm.. what happens if you run "gksudo users-admin" from a terminal? [11:14] Someone able to help me get back into the GUI? I'm stuck in console every time i reboot computer [11:15] is Pidgin 2.5.4 on any of the repo lists that anyone knows of? [11:15] Slart: it's working :) [11:15] gaelfx: check the PPA's on launchpad.net [11:15] rdw200169: thanks [11:16] aeosynth: yay.. it's supposed to work without gksudo but I can't really think of a reason why it wouldn't.. might be something special you've forgotten to do with the new user [11:16] How can I use an English user interface and Dutch time and currency formats? [11:16] Onide try typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:16] anyone willing to help me with screen resolution issue? [11:16] hi there all [11:16] mick02: Will try that thank you [11:16] Onide np [11:17] does kubuntu need a firewall or antivirus checker? [11:17] please help me i want to dialup with gnome-ppp with simple user ?? [11:17] mick02: "*stopping GNOME display manager... [11:17] does anyone know a way to change the look of amarok 2 ? [11:17] mick02: And now its back into console, dam lol [11:17] Onide Do you use Gnome or KDE? [11:18] Eutychus: as with any other OS, that is all a personal preference [11:18] Eutychus: there is already a firewall installed.. write !firewall for more info.. viruses aren't really a problem for many reasons.. there are antivirus software available but that's mostly used for mail-systems and such [11:18] sheesh, the version on PPA is even older than the one in Ubuntu now [11:18] mick02: Errr, I assume Gnome? Its whatever i downloaded and put onto a CD off the Ubuntu website [11:18] Slart: thanx. [11:18] mick02: I'm very new to Ubuntu , but i really want to use it for University this year over Windows [11:19] gaelfx: https://launchpad.net/~unofficial-backports/+archive this one's got 2.5 [11:19] gaelfx: well, 2.5.0 [11:19] this is great guys. thanx.. :) bbl. [11:19] after installing the ubuntu restricted driver for nvidia cards, i can't get a higher resolution than 1024x768.. i thought the restricted driver was supposed to be an improvement over the free driver? [11:19] Onide in the console can you type sudo apt-get install pastebinit [11:19] zamba - i have same issue [11:20] bill-nz: and no solution? [11:20] nope [11:20] zamba: it usually is... are you really sure you're using the binary driver? [11:20] night all ... its sleepy time [11:20] zamba: run glxgears -info in a terminal.. check the first couple of lines and see what driver it says you're using [11:20] Slart: what do you mean? [11:20] Slart: ok [11:20] I just bumped into a strange "linux plaintext" partition in my hard drive when I was trying to install ubuntu on it. [11:20] night mountx [11:20] mick02: ok typed that and its downloading something - This is on my Laptop computer next to me, im using IRC from my desktop [11:20] i can't connect to net using gnome-ppp with error no root privilege [11:20] mountx, thanks for all your help, it's working now :) [11:21] Slart: http://pastebin.com/m150214bd [11:21] cool. .. i'll be back on tomorrow night [11:21] i'm feeling a bit claustrophobic here :p [11:21] Onide check your private messages [11:22] Any idea what is a "linux plaintext" partition? It seems to prevent me from repartitioning the hard drive in install [11:22] zamba: yup.. seems you're using the binary driver alright.. the other thing that sometimes fails is that X can't get info from your monitor about what frequencies it can handle [11:22] Slart: the benchmark is returning around 900 fps for the gears, if that means anything [11:22] Slart: what's the solution for that then? an empty xorg.conf? [11:23] zamba: it's usually handled via some kind of "plug & play"-ish protocol called EDID.. but that doesn't always work and X then uses something that is very very safe.. then you end up with stuff like 800x600 [11:23] Slart: i have same issue, and it only started when the latest nvidia update came out the other day [11:24] zamba: what you can do it look up your monitor specs.. usually from the manufacturers website .. and enter those values in the otherwise empty xorg.conf.. [11:25] Slart: the graphic card has a dvi out option, but my monitor only has vga in.. so i have to use a dvi-to-vga-adapter to get the signal to the monitor.. could this be blocking the EDID information in some way? [11:26] how to install xmind on ubuntu [11:27] zamba: I have no idea.. it's possible, sure [11:27] !dialout [11:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about dialout [11:27] !gnome-ppp [11:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-ppp [11:27] Hi, can anyone help me with some graphics driver issues please [11:27] ubuntu 8.10, Geforce 6200 -> Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. [11:27] "IP adress detected on command line. Runing in single user mode" < what does this mean? [11:28] hi [11:28] jimmyj: join the club :) === John is now known as Guest25528 === Guest25528 is now known as Hocok [11:28] hi now i have xubumtu on my ubuntu [11:28] bill-nz: lol, spent all day yesterday and got nowhere [11:29] zamba: here's an example of how to enter the frequencies, http://paste.ubuntu.com/107290/ [11:29] I am on friends laptop. There is no video output from mplayer (or totem) when playing avi. Suggestions? [11:29] jimmyj: whatever you do DO NOT install the driver from the nvidia site. totally screwed my xserver and had to reinstall the os [11:29] Slart: will i still be able to select between the different resolutions by using the system->preferences menu? [11:30] change the player session === rn0308982 is now known as Win| [11:30] Slart: that's all? [11:30] zamba: horizSync and VertRefresh are usually found in the hardware specs of your monitor.. if you can't find them you can usually use values from a monitor with a similar size, resolution.. they say using bad values can damage the monitor though so be a bit careful === Win| is now known as Windows_Error [11:30] Ubuntu 8.10 come with what sound as default? PulseAudio? [11:30] zamba: afaik, yes.. I don't mess around with my resolutions so I haven't really tried [11:30] bill-nz: ok, already did that, will i need to reinstall ? [11:31] Slart: what does the option dpms mean? [11:31] vinja-sheep: alsa sound with pulseaudio on top of that [11:31] jimmyj: well, if you can get gdm and x to start, then you're ahead of where i was [11:31] Slart: Thanks. I'll try the plugin. [11:31] zamba: Vesa Display Power Management.. but I think you can skip that line [11:31] slart: I doubt all fairly modern monitors are not so sensitive to the bad sync values. Please correct me if I have wrong. [11:31] bill-nz: yeah they start but only in low-graphics mode [11:31] zamba: the important ones are the two frequencies [11:31] Slart: cool [11:32] "IP adress detected on command line. Runing in single user mode" < what does this mean? [11:32] jimmyj: after i installed the driver from the site, i couldn't get of of command line. that's why i started over again [11:32] zamba: also check the file /var/log/X11/xorg.0.log .. X is usually quite good at pointing out why it doesn't want to use a certain resolution there.. error lines will start with EE, warnings with !! I think [11:32] hello [11:33] zamba: I have to run.. but you have some stuff to try now.. ask the channel if you run into any problems [11:33] anyone tried gnome-do's with docky themes? [11:33] in #ldap i've been told that apt-get install should create slapd.conf, but it didn't. any ideas why? [11:33] zamba: my X started working quite fine after I removed xorg.conf file. YMMV [11:34] bill-nz: think i'm just gonna re-install os anyway - i'm sure in all my tinkering i may have messed something up [11:34] jimmyj: you will still be stuck in low res mode though... that's why i'm here [11:34] Hi! Ubuntu wont use my soundcard for playback... although Ive chosen it in "System->Settings->Sound" and "test" gives me the beep-sound all playback goes to the chips on the motherboard! [11:35] koopee: hm.. but do you connect your monitor using a vga connection or dvi? [11:35] koopee: because i believe the edid information get blocked when using the dvi-to-vga-adapter [11:35] its vga [11:35] bill-nz: you had any progress at all ? [11:35] I'm having issues with installing VLC (well not that one)... but to be more specific... to use mozilla-plugin-vlc as my default plugin for Firefox. Rather than dealing with totem + codecs. It didn't went well for me. Even VLC have instructions for Ubuntu 8.10. [11:35] NorthByNorthWest: can you not disable your oboard in the bios, as so ubuntu only knows of one sound card to use. [11:36] zamba: That's possible [11:36] koopee: that worked! :=) [11:36] koopee: thanks! [11:36] really? Great! [11:36] slyuk: good idea! ill do that right away! thanks! [11:36] if I am ssh'ed into a box, is there a way to search the file system for a certain filename? [11:36] jimmyj: nope, just watching zamba's progress. after asking the question for an hour zamba finally got someone to answer [11:37] baz: Try mlocate [11:37] jimmyj: apparently zamba had luck with getting rid of xorg.conf - go figure [11:38] vinja-sheep, command not found [11:38] bill-nz: yeh i have tried restoring xorg.conf to original ver - no luck [11:39] anyone know how to get permission to open slapd.conf file [11:39] hi ppl [11:40] jimmyj: have you tried to remove the xorg.conf? [11:40] suji: sudo should work [11:40] jimmyj: Perhaps backup it first [11:40] bill-nz: remove it all together ? [11:40] jimmyj: yeah [11:41] ya it work [11:41] bill-nz & koopee: will try that now [11:41] does anyone know any software to voice recognition that supports brazilian portuguese? [11:42] bill-nz:i got it thank u [11:42] jimmyj: any success? === Guest_708_ is now known as Onidem [11:42] koopee: ctrl + alt + backspace to restart x or full reboot ? [11:43] slyuk: disabling on board sound chips in BOIS did the trick, thanks" :D [11:43] ctrl+alt+back should do the trick. Or log out / in [11:44] if i "connect to server" thru nautilus then search, it doesn't seem to return any results, it just searches forever - is it just that its slow or does it not work? [11:44] jimmyj: try those first. Then reboot if necessary [11:45] koopee: didn't do the trick, just rebooting [11:45] jimmyj: so you removed the xorg.conf file? [11:45] koopee: yeah, backed it up and deleted it [11:45] ok. try reboot. See what happens [11:46] koopee: you are the man, all that time wasted - thankyou very much === KingWilliam is now known as King_William [11:47] Glad to hear it helped! === King_William is now known as KingWilliam [11:47] I must thank a friend that told me [11:47] what is up with 0,6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54 * * * * "lynx\ uberbeef.org\/iploader\.php" [11:48] But has anyone bumbed into "linux plaintext" partition?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [13:04] KingWilliam: the tar.gz? [13:04] Milk_Rulz, indeed [13:04] jrib: Came back empty-nested. [13:05] vinja-sheep: does /usr/share/applications/totem*.desktop exist? [13:05] i have installed "ati radeon 9250 pci" into my box but ubuntu doesnt boot with a lots of segfaults and "permission denied" stuff:) [13:05] KingWilliam: Can't move directory over directory [13:05] ubottu: was that better? [13:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:05] jrib: Nope. [13:05] pecko: you should probably pastebin the errors and explain how you installed it [13:05] vinja-sheep: try 'pkill gnome-panel' to restart your panel [13:05] Milk_Rulz, strange, Ill give it a shot myself... Pls wait a sec [13:05] jrib: It worked. <_< [13:05] jrib: "installed" i mean plugged in:) [13:06] jrib: *** Thanks *** [13:06] jrib: when i plug-in ati radeon 9250 pci, ubuntu doesnt boot. is impossible to paste log:D [13:06] hi, ive read through most of the support documents and faq and im having trouble with my installation, would anyone be able to walk me through troubleshooting video problems? [13:06] pecko: you said you got errors [13:07] farf: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [13:07] jrib : it worked [13:07] Milk_Rulz, It works perfectly fine here. [13:07] vikku: pastebin ~/.mplayer/gui.conf [13:07] ok [13:08] I won a unlocked seirra aircard 881 from ebay and i was think what can i do with a unlocked aircard? [13:08] Milk_Rulz, You can also hit the install button in appearances and select the tar.gz file i linked you [13:08] jrib: yes ive got... but, how can i copy and paste them, when OS doesnt boot?:P if i want to os to boot-up i have to plug-out graphics [13:08] and how can i get it to work with unbuntu. [13:08] pecko: type them or take a picture... [13:08] KingWilliam: Ok well this is what I've done, I right click Compiz Fusion Icon > Select Window Decorator > Emerald, applied the Die Hard theme on emerald [13:08] anyone [13:08] ok, ive installed ubuntu and gone through the setup, however when i try to reboot the system into the desktop, i get a popup about it running in low-graphics mode, and asks me to configure the video settings, when i click ok i get 3 options, run in low graphics mode, reconfigure graphics, or troubleshoot, i get a loop when i try to run in low graphics (goes back to telling me its running in low graphics) and it wont let [13:09] Is there a problem with the fiesty repositories at the mo, i get this when trying to update : "Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" [13:09] anyone use a aircard with linux before? [13:09] KingWilliam: opened system > preferences > appearance, dragged 84355-diehard.tar.gz onto it [13:09] jrib: i just know ther's something like udevd-event :run_program: 'path/to/the/program' abnormal exit [13:10] neiljay: feisty is end of life. It is no longer supported. You need to upgrade as this means you are no longer receiving security upgrades [13:10] !upgrade > neiljay [13:10] neiljay, please see my private message [13:10] jrib: and then something about /bin/sh that it cannot be found and permission denied [13:10] KingWilliam: then I get "Installation for theme "diehard" failed. [13:10] Can't move directory over directory" [13:11] pecko: it's not hard to give exact errors, paraphrasing them usually just causes confusion. I can't help you like this. But include what you know in your questions I guess and maybe someone else can recognize the issue [13:11] Do you already have the theme installes Milk_Rulz ? [13:11] I have the emerald theme installed [13:12] Night, world. [13:12] jrib : http://pastebin.com/d61305431 [13:12] I think they are fighting for some reason. Wait a sec pls [13:12] anyone know anything about my graphics issue? i cant get to the command prompt (or at least dont know how), and i cant do anything through the popup on boot about low graphics mode [13:13] vikku: looks like xv is in there. Does « gmplayer » give you an error? [13:13] lemme c [13:13] jrib: if u don have running os its very very hard to give exact errors. but i still can take a paper and pen and write down them from screnn:P [13:13] Milk_Rulz, I am not sure, but this little trick might help you [13:14] pecko: when you have exact errors, you can usually just google them, that's why they're so helpful :) [13:14] jrib: or i can make a picture with my camera:D [13:14] Milk_Rulz, open the tar.gz file with file-roller (just double-click the file) and rename the folder called "diehard" to something else [13:14] jrib: ive tried... but no result. its why im here [13:14] jrib : http://pastebin.com/m64d5f2bd [13:14] Milk_Rulz, close the archive and try to install again (either by drag n drop or by the button) [13:14] it did fiv some err [13:15] giv* [13:15] vikku: and « gmplayer -vo xv » ? [13:15] KingWilliam: your a genious :P [13:16] KingWilliam: but there is 1 last thing it's missing, the transparency :( [13:16] KingWilliam: before it didn't have any color, but now it does. [13:16] vikku: never mind, I see "Warning unknown option vo_driver at line 2" now. Change "vo_driver" to "vo" as that's what it is in mplayer's non-gui conf [13:17] Milk_Rulz, as far as I know GTK themes can not have transperency. But emerald themes do. So you head over to the emerald manager and choose your emerald theme there. I can not perfectly remember but i guess there is a customize button [13:17] how do you open a iso image through the terminal? [13:17] vikku: or better yet, just delete that line in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf and add the following to your ~/.mplayer/config: vo=xv [13:18] Mil_Arg, In the customize window you can do whatever you want with it. (like adding transparency) [13:18] TecR0c: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [13:18] KingWilliam: I'm not finding a customize button, there is an Edit Themes tab and above that an "Emerald Settings" tab [13:18] how do i install video drivers without being able to boot to the desktop [13:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/107309/ [13:19] Milk_Rulz, Edit themes will do the trick :D [13:19] can anyone check for me ..and how to fixed it [13:19] clarks: open ~/.ssh/known_hosts in a text editor and delete line 10 [13:20] jrib wait [13:20] ~$ open ~/.ssh/known_hosts [13:20] Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console <--this is the answer [13:20] hi! ... How I can use update-alternatives to move to java5 without change all the entries one by one (java, javac, javadoc and so on) ? [13:21] clarks: use « gedit » not « open » [13:21] KingWilliam: I'm on edit themes, now what? [13:21] !multijava | filosofico [13:21] filosofico: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives [13:21] ladies & gents, may i present to you, a shameless plug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6584115 [13:21] hi chaps Whats the best way to install all OS patches and fixes for Ubuntu LTS **without*** overwriting any configs with the defaults that come with the updates?? Is it to use -safeupgrade ? [13:22] jrib: thanks, I know the update-alternatives command, I'm asking about use of it ... [13:22] OllyM, apt will not overwrite config files which you have not changed [13:22] jrib, how to fine line 10? [13:22] HAVe changed, even [13:22] filosofico: look closely at what ubottu said [13:22] Milk_Rulz, since I don't use compiz anymore i don't know. [13:22] OllyM, if you change a config file, then there's an md5sum mismatch and apt leaves it alone [13:22] how do i get to the terminal without being able to boot into ubuntu?? [13:22] clarks: press the down arrow 10 times [13:22] clarks: or 9 I guess. === cakey_ is now known as bayag [13:23] :( [13:23] Anyone know why I don't have permission to post in the ubuntu forums even after verifying my account?

[13:24] KingWilliam: well, you have pretty much done 90% of the whole theme for me, thanks for all of your help [13:24] jrib : done .... but there is one more thing like there is a vcd in my cdrom and im not able to input it to mplayer , /media/cdrom doesnt list it ....do i need to install some codec ?

[13:29] jrib: I compiled Nautilus, and I dont have any share options on right click [13:29] vikku: or maybe: « mplayer dvd://1 »? I've never played a vcd. So if those don't work, try asking the channel or #mplayer again [13:30] Kunalagon: ok, next question.... why did you compile nautilus?

[13:32] Kunalagon: in ubuntu, you can « apt-get source nautilus » and read debian/rules to see how it was compiled [13:32] I ask there many times [13:32] does nobody know anything about my problem or does everyone just think its so simple they're too good to answer? [13:32] jrib: ok, I'll check that [13:32] farf, ive no ideas .. happy? [13:33] yes, i am. can you suggest any further line of enquiry or places that i might find a solution. ive been going through all the support documents on ubuntu.com since last night, every support document assumes i can get to the terminal and input commands, however ive no idea how to do that w/o being able to boot in [13:33] jrib: this is how it looks , soething did try to cum up but exited as soon as it came http://pastebin.com/m727e44f1 [13:34] How do I search in files?

[14:13] no wait [14:13] that creates a new folder [14:13] Milk_Rulz, if you are in nautilus yeah [14:13] M25: I should remove the wacom-tools and input-wacom drivers before installing the linuxwacom? Wiki didnt said that :S [14:14] hello all- is there an easy way of listing current ftp users connected? [14:14] hwilde: usually installing updates the menu, you might just need ot make a custom shortcut [14:15] is there something like "removeuser" [14:15] breaker: What state is the connection with the '-' in? [14:15] ok so with firefox and twinview, why can I only open it in one monitor? I can open xchat, terminal, almost anything else in both simultaneously [14:15] i need to clear my clipboard [14:15] entirely [14:15] plz [14:15] help [14:15] (as there is adduser) [14:15] Quintasan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765915 [14:15] matisse: userdel [14:15] hello [14:15] heklp [14:15] hwilde, huh? i just open the apps and drag them over to the other moniotr. [14:15] none Pici [14:15] erry: click on the icon [14:15] huh? [14:15] hwilde, you did restart the x server after enabling twinview with the nvida-settings tool? [14:15] Matsee what icon [14:15] matisse, [14:15] what icon [14:15] im looking for some software that will set the proxy setting on all network using software to the proxy i specify so i dont have to open firefox switch proxy, open skype set proxy, open ...etc.... is there any such program ? [14:16] erry: just copy something else [14:16] no [14:16] i want to get rid of the whole data [14:16] nothing there [14:16] erry: are you in gnome or kde ?

[14:16] at home/campus i dont need a proxy but at school i need to set the proxy on everything [14:16] then i dont know where the icon is [14:17] farewell, erry [14:17] how do i use vesa drivers, ive found no documentation using google or ubuntu.com [14:17] Mood: thx [14:17] farf, normally edit xorg.conf and set the driver line to be like driver 'vesa' [14:17] np :) [14:18] vesa is normally used when al else fails :) [14:18] Is it possible now to have my swap on an lvm inside an encrypted partition in such a way that suspend to disk still works? [14:18] what if my xorg.conf doesnt have the driver line? [14:18] farf: add it. [14:18] denna thats sort of scary :) [14:19] dennda: lvm? [14:19] so basically just Section "Driver" then identifier "Vesa"? [14:19] M25: logical volume management [14:19] breaker: I'm not sure then. I was going to say that if it was in a FIN state then it was just the kernel keeping it open for some reason, and that an application wasn't really using it. [14:19] I'm putting together a LAMP server at work and want to make sure I have the latest releases: apache2, php5, mysql5. [14:20] mkey Pici np [14:20] M25: encrypted partition contains lvm, lvm contains two partitions. one swap, one /home. benefit: only one passphrase needed [14:20] farf, my xorg.conf as an example --> http://pastebin.com/f3da99899 [14:20] hi friends.. can any one tell me how to remove the error bug when trying to open a drive for first time ? [14:20] Unable to mount location [14:20] Internal error: No mount object for mounted volume [14:20] this the eroor i am getting [14:20] dennda: I don't know drive-level-encryption, but that does sound pretty cool [14:21] hi, I am looking for a windows implemetation of the ubuntu 8.10 magnification tool (press hyper and scroll mouse wheel) [14:21] I'm going to strangle X windows. [14:21] I'm not [14:21] anyone know of it? [14:21] that doesnt look anything like mine :p [14:21] M25: I'm doing that for quite some time already. Just unsure whether suspend to disk works then [14:21] Reenen: Try asking in ##windows [14:21] Reenen, it is in compiz [14:21] Reenen, do you use compiz? [14:21] M25: since when booting, it tries to read the resume data from the swap; and I don't know if it's already available at that point [14:22] dennda: you can always just try it, or would that corrupt the partition? [14:22] M25: which version of linuxwacom you use? 0.8.2? [14:22] is there a keypress i can do to reboot ubuntu w/o doing hard/soft reboot (as in ctl alt del in windows) [14:22] It won't use my NVIDIA card and both monitors. [14:22] M25: no, but potentially waste my time [14:22] i'll just try it now, though [14:22] Quintasan: I just followed that wiki link I pasted and did what it told me, then custom-configured gimp [14:22] i just created a mymod.conf in my mods-available directory -- now i want to enable it -- sudo a2enmod mymod produces ERROR: Module mymod does not exist! [14:23] Reenen: try holding down the windows key and use your scroll wheel [14:23] I do not understand the make utility very well, I changed some files in a directory and when I typed "make" I got the message "nothing to be done for all" How do I mke it compile again? [14:23] Jeruvy, what you tell to Reenen only works when compiz is running [14:23] Is there somewhere that I'm unaware of that gives dual monitor setup help for 8.10? All of the other sites offer suggestions that do not work in 8.10 [14:23] Jeruvy: Yes, on ubunty it works wonderfully, I want it on windows XP [14:23] *ubuntu [14:23] zimbres: you need a makefile [14:23] Reenen: ##windows [14:23] zimbres: make clean usually removes the compiled code, then try `make` again. [14:24] Jeruvy, I knew such a tool. One sec [14:24] Pici: Thanks, This is what I want [14:24] yes [14:25] yes [14:25] nvidia-xconfig does absolutely nothing [14:25] hello [14:25] what has happened to http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/feisty? [14:25] Reenen, you are looking for a tool called Zoomit [14:25] thanks KingWilliam [14:26] I get many 404s when I try apt-get update on my feisty machine [14:26] Reenen, your welcome [14:26] maybe they canceled the feisty repository? [14:26] isnt feisty eol [14:26] the directory isn't there, but dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid are [14:26] How do I remove a user of a group ? [14:26] ok so i added the driver line to xorg.conf and restarted and now i get an error about low graphics mode, and (EE) problem parsing the config file, (EE) error parsing the config file [14:27] fivemack: Feisty has reached its end of life, and it is no longer supported. [14:27] !feisty | fivemack [14:27] fivemack: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [14:28] at what time would it be acceptable to repeat a quest in here not answered? [14:28] oh, ok, so I have to reinstall the system from scratch. happy happy joy. [14:29] farf: welcome to my world [14:29] hello guys! my m8 is trying to play an mkv file in ubuntu 8.10 with VLC and he has no sound [14:29] dekkong: try playing it in totem first to see what codecs it suggests [14:30] JesperHansen: I think he tried totem but in totem the movie lags [14:30] JesperHansen: but the sound did work [14:30] hi does anyone know whether u can configure wvdial to dial on disconnect and startup? [14:30] fivemack: why, is upgrading to the next version not working for you? [14:31] JesperHansen: you got any clues? [14:31] Is there a way to tell the kernel that it should NOT use the suspend-to-disk image during a reboot, but rather go through the full reboot process again? [14:32] dekkong: no idea then [14:32] how do I add startup items? [14:32] dekkong: would probably try mplayer as the first [14:33] Milk_Rulz: System>Preferences>Session [14:33] hi does anyone know whether u can configure wvdial to dial on disconnect and startup? [14:33] Was wondering if there's an updated version of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules#Modify%20debian/rules somewhere. abi_version doesn't exist in the enlisted file debian/rules [14:34] anyone know what repository start-stop-daemon is located? [14:34] or where I can find their website to download it and install from source.. [14:35] bn43: You should be able to add the command to system-preferences-sessions [14:35] troynt: try google? [14:35] I don't know what this means but it worked before. I removed acroread, installed the version from the medibuntu repros and checked the 32-bit dependencies but it doesn't helped :( [14:35] troynt: you mean init daemon? [14:35] anyone know how to mark my own messages in a different color in x-chat? right now they show up in gray. but i would like them to have a better highlighting color [14:35] Anyone know how to get the 'Terminal Service Client' to stop retrying on disconnect or close? [14:36] CrownAmbassador1: am only using command line - no gui [14:36] sisto: ask in #xchat? [14:36] M25: ok i'll try that thx [14:36] Can anyone of you post your original /etc/network/interfaces file please? I don't have my cd with me but need the original contents. [14:37] bn43: okay. Sorry then I don't know. :P [14:37] thanks [14:37] hello guys! my m8 is trying to play an mkv file in ubuntu 8.10 with VLC and he has no sound [14:38] is it possible to permanently map the special folder Document to a samba share? [14:38] dekkong, does he have sound with other applications? also, does he have firefox open playing, say, a youtube video at the same time? [14:38] Documents* [14:38] CrownAmbassador1: on modern releases it has only two lines 1 auto lo 2 iface lo inet loopback [14:38] hello, when i installed ubuntu 8.10 via windows vista and restarted to get on, i got a lil prob, it took me to DOS after booting =\ [14:39] M25: yes he has totem there he has sound but the movie lags... and he is using alsa [14:39] erUSUL: Thanks. That is what I thought. :-D [14:39] anybody who can help me? [14:39] Morning all? [14:39] dekkong: that's a vlc configuration problem probably. see if you can use different sound setup options in vlc [14:39] M25: ok, I see stylus and earser in wacomcpl, no pad but I can live without it, what you set up in gimp? I cant seen anything regarding tablet senitivity === sstringham is now known as wassy121 [14:39] CrYsIsX: you sure it's not just a "choose operating system" screen? [14:39] M25: ok [14:40] Quintasan: look under Inputs, I think [14:40] Stuff?: when i installed ubuntu 8.10 via windows vista and restarted to get on, i got a lil prob, it took me to DOS after booting [14:40] CrYsIsX: you used wubi ? [14:40] it was weird, I had to fiddle with it, but I did get it working eventually [14:40] erUSUL: What? [14:41] anyone own sony vaio z? [14:41] !wubi | CrYsIsX [14:41] CrYsIsX: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [14:41] anyone know what repository start-stop-daemon is located in OR where to find start-stop-daemon to install from source? [14:42] erUSUL: No, i juts downloaded the ubuntu 8.10 from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and installed it via windows [14:42] M25: grrr, still no senitivity [14:42] troynt: "init" is the process mgmt daemon [14:42] CrYsIsX: Did you run an installer within windows? or did you boot from the cd? [14:42] Installer [14:42] Quintasan: sorry man, I sold my wacom after I realized I can't draw worth anything. Good luck man [14:42] CrYsIsX: That would be the aformentioned Wubi method then. [14:42] oCean_: I'm getting "/etc/init.d/vsftpd: 43: start-stop-daemon: not found" [14:42] CrYsIsX: if you installed via/within windows you used wubi [14:43] CrYsIsX: again, are you sure it's DOS and not just a "choose operating system" screen? [14:43] erUSL: thanks, but say if I wanted aMSN to start up automaticly, how would I find the command [14:43] i did that, booted then [14:43] went to DOS === Rael is now known as Guest46516 [14:43] oCean_: I think it may be a path issue... [14:44] oCean_: thanks [14:44] CrYsIsX: did you select windows or ubuntu when it went to dos? [14:44] troynt: something wrong on line 43 then.. it's not the init daemon [14:44] Ubuntu [14:44] oCean_: Yea I forgot to do a sudo :-x [14:44] Milk_Rulz: most likely is "amsn" [14:44] troynt: start-stop-daemon is included in the dpkg package, which I assure you is installed. [14:44] hi, how do i change resolution in tty? [14:44] CrYsIsX: ok, firstly, that's not DOS, that's BASH you're seeing. Second off, does it stop scrolling text? if so, what's the last 2 lines it writes? [14:45] Pici: Yea, it is working now, I just forgot to do a sudo, so my path was messed up [14:45] troynt: yep, that might help :) [14:45] its an error [14:45] troynt: Ah, thats good then. [14:45] CrYsIsX: you know how to use pastebin? [14:45] no [14:46] go to pastebin.com, copy/paste/type in the error (last couple lines of output) then hit Send. Then paste the URL that it takes you to (which will contain that message) in here, so we can see it. cuts down on text in the room [14:47] go to pastebin.com, copy/paste/type in the error (last couple lines of output) then hit Send. Then paste the URL that it takes you to (which will contain that message) in here, so we can see it. cuts down on text in the room [14:47] sorry for the repeat, he left/returned [14:47] M25: A Pastebin isn't going to help much if all he has is an error and no graphical environment. [14:47] Pici: anything i can do? [14:47] CrYsIsX: What does the error say? [14:47] CrYsIsX: You may as well use the ubuntu pastebin :) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ === Rael is now known as Guest35389 [14:48] umm, i dont remember, sec ima reboot and come back to tell u === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [14:48] Pici: right, sorry, used to being able to pastebin from the command line [14:48] is it possible to mount a nfs share upon logon? [14:48] i'd like to mount a user's home directory over nfs when he/she logs on [14:48] zamba yes - in fstab [14:49] Dr_Willis_AAO: but that's not per-user [14:49] Howdy folks. [14:49] normally one has home on a NFS server [14:49] #fpf [14:49] all of /home/ [14:49] Dr_Willis_AAO: i don't want all of home.. i just want one user [14:50] how is gdm/kdm gouing to know the default window manager and stuff.. BEFOR the users home is even there? I dont see it happening [14:50] I have have just resized a partition on my ubuntu install and installed windows XP on my new partition, reinstalled grub because windows seems to remove it from the MBR but when I get back into grub I don't see my XP install. [14:50] hi, i need to pit two ip on one NIC from SAME subnet like 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. how to do it? (U Server) [14:51] !grub | jb-rite [14:51] jb-rite: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:51] when trying to i guess activate nvidia drivers, i go to system, admin, hardware drivers, and click activate, it brings up a box and says download and installing drivers, then disappears and says this driver is not activated === sled is now known as cubra [14:51] whoops, that's vice-versa [14:52] zamba: I think it is possible, however it probably requires some scripting and modifying default behaviour of 'login' [14:52] zamba: you can look at setting up an automounter, with each user's home as a separate export. this will not work very well for large numbers of users. also, out of curiosity what advantage do you hope to gain by only mounting the filesystem when the user is logged in? [14:52] ubottu: I did lose grub, I've already reinstalled it. -- I'm just not sure why only my ubuntu install is showing up in my grub list [14:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:53] anybody know where the desktop UI settings are stored? [14:53] jb-rite: do "sudo update-grub" if that's not enough you will have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the windows entry [14:53] zamba: There is a custom pam plugin that mounts SMB directories upon user login. http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/ is non-ubuntu, but may be what you need. [14:53] jb-rite: the one that is listed in the comments on the file should work [14:53] alrighty erUSUL -- thanks, I'll ty that out. [14:53] sipior: well.. i basically want to create a sandbox environment.. since the same user should be logged onto several different computers at the same time.. this is for a student environment, where the students are too young to have a sense of their own username / password, so it's easier to just have one.. i want to use central ldap authentication for the user and when he/she logs on, create a layer upon the directory [14:54] sipior: upon the home directory [14:54] zamba: how young we talking here? [14:54] sipior: 6 to 12 years of age [14:54] sipior: and believe me, we don't have the staff to constantly change passwords and create new users [14:54] zamba: oh, believe me, there'll have no problem handling a username/password [14:55] sipior: well.. we'll have problems with the maintanance [14:55] zamba: you're going to have to do maintenance anyway. [14:55] sipior: sure.. but it's easier if it's just one user [14:55] Is there any way to NOT reload the hibernated image when you power-up from a save-to-disk hibernate? [14:56] sipior: and the students are used to saving their documents on a shared samba share, so that will remain the way they're used to [14:56] Zzeiss: maybe your MB/Laptop/whatever has a special key to hold to cold-boot from scratch? === guest_ is now known as powerball === nobu is now known as nobuyoshi [14:56] zamba: then i would say go with the automounter. for only one user, that'll work just fine. [14:56] guest_: use eth0 and eth0:0 as ifaces [14:56] How do I set up the proprietary drivers for my video card in ubuntu 8.10? [14:57] CyL: which video card ? [14:57] erUSUL: intel 945gm [14:57] zamba: although really, why not just leave the filesystem mounted? i'm not sure i see the point to remounting it constantly... [14:57] sipior: yeah, i'm considering the same.. [14:57] CyL: that come preinstalled with ubuntu no need to make any additional step (unlike nvidia/ati) [14:57] sipior: just a permanent nfs mount in fstab [14:58] erUSUL: ubuntu 8.04 would just ask me if I would like to stick with the free driver, or switch to the proprietry one... [14:58] Pici: i get: end_request: I/O error, dev Sr1 sector 9180272 [14:58] CyL: with a intel card? there are no propietary intel drivers [14:58] sipior: and then some pam magic to create the union/tmpfs layer upon the users /home [14:58] hello guys! my m8 is trying to play an mkv file in ubuntu 8.10 with VLC and he has no sound [14:58] zamba: that sounds like a plan, i think [14:59] erUSUL: I've just opened /system/administration/hardware drivers, and there is no driver shown [14:59] CyL, jsut for the info, are nVidia and ATI the only ones that require proprietary drivers? [14:59] erUSUL: the free driver will already give me full acceleration? [14:59] CyL: yep it should [14:59] erUSUL: Can u help me on private?

[15:03] urUSUL: Thx [15:03] KingOfDos, there's no sound on the videos, like the youtube ones [15:03] DavidVWallin: Normally mod_php5 only installs the apache module. [15:03] wassy121, aaaha [15:03] KenBW2: do not know if easy but doable [15:03] I have somehow managed to erase both my wifi0 and ath* interfaces while trying to patch madwifi... nor ifconfig or iwconfig can see any wireless intefaces but dmesg does see it [15:04] any ieads? :( [15:04] highlight!

[15:04] or ekiga === Kutenai is now known as [SkG] [15:04] erUSUL: wouldnt you just loop 1000 times at a time? [15:04] KenBW2: ask in #bash very knowledgeable people there... maybe they come up with a onliner XD [15:04] erUSUL: good idea [15:04] Subdolus: Does ifconfig -a show it unconfigured? Check dmesg or /var/log/messages, there may be errors in there about setting up firmware or something. [15:04] oneliner* [15:04] lastent, is any other multimedia app opn? (like totem, songbird, rhythmbox, ...) [15:05] have a quick question. trying to mount a cdrom in ubuntu server without succes [15:05] KingOfDos, yes I have rythmbox opened too [15:05] mount /dev/cdrom returns me no medium found [15:05] KenBW2: the files are randomly named? [15:05] you've really got to learn howto tabcomplete :D [15:06] oCean_: it's a load of recovered deleted ones, so i think theyre numbered numerically - 13542536 for example [15:06] wassy121: like I just said, ifconfig doesn't show it at all, dmesg see's it with no errors [15:06] lastent, I have the same problem. 2 media programs can for some reason not play at once... === aa is now known as josepcoves [15:07] lastent, close firefox, close rhythmbox, start firefox again and it should work [15:07] Subdolus: Then most probably it is seeing the physical device on the pci bus, but not assigning it a driver, and thus not instantiating the mii-interface. [15:08] KenBW2: but it is'nt a logical sequence.. that would've made it easier, however this is 'scriptable' also. [15:08] Hi, i have problems with my webcam, it works under KDE apps but doesn't with Gnome. Could anyone help me please? [15:08] Subdolus: means you may be using the wrong driver, or something. Which wireless card? Did you read the community docs about how to set it up? [15:08] KingOfDos, I think lastent is talking to me but doesnt know he is adding the wrong name ;) [15:08] KenBW2: but still, you're going to end up with various files in random directories? [15:08] someone can help me with mounting my cdrom ? [15:08] oCean_: i think they are logical - just nautilus struggles to read all the files lol [15:09] KingWilliam, ha ha ha, sorry about the names [15:09] Nikon: It should automount when you put it in (if you are running 8.10). If the mount command says "no media" it means the cdrom is saying there is no readable media in the drive.

(you might want to check with the system monitor) If this doesn't help I have no idea what is causing it,,, [15:12] Subdolus: it supports "getting on the interwebs". Good enough for me.

[15:17] Lou_, You can add channels to join when connecting the server there [15:17] KingWilliam: true, but then they have to press "tab" again to complete other names that start with the K (or how far they typed the name already) [15:17] just like i said, it's a wrong tabcompletion. but i'm used to that from others, so no big problem ;) [15:17] KingWilliam, yes I closed it all and it is not working [15:17] hi all, trying to connect my tv to pc i turned of main screen from display configuration, now i can only acces with textual interface (the ctrl alt f1 one).

[15:27] easwar: so, do I simply go to the keyboard shortcuts section in preferences? I've already tried that, and it seems that the gnome keyboard shortcuts don't support windows key (super L) + someletter combinations. [15:27] ugliefrog, you need the entire path [15:27] DarkKnight: fix one or the other, and it should go away. Just a warning anyway, things should still work.

The actual usage numbers output by df don't add up to full capacity, I can write to the disk as root without getting a "no space left on device" message, and I have removed several large files. [17:36] thats what the prompt says right before i can start typing [17:36] farf, means you are in username on the computer username-desktop [17:36] oCean_: oh i found it in the manpage nvm. i ave 2 put 2 [17:36] thanks [17:36] ahh k [17:36] Hello, if you've got a MX1000 (Logitech MediaPlay) mouse, and all the buttons work, could I have your xorg.conf?

Even root gets a "no space left on device" error when the disk is full, doesn't it? Removing files should fix the problem, shouldn't it? [17:38] farf, ls =? [17:38] shows the file, run the same sh command now? [17:38] farf, you see the run file now? [17:38] ya [17:39] tried the sh filename but it says cant open it again [17:39] farf, ok do the sh command there... hit the up arrow key to scroll thru the commands you have typed in already [17:39] coventry: well, root might have a little bit more slack there... for security reasons. I'd say it's cleanup time :) [17:39] is the file name supposed to be case sensitive? [17:39] farf, if you keep hitting the up arrow key you will find the sh command you already typed and hit enter and... yes case sensative [17:39] farf: all of linux is case sensitive :) [17:40] guys, i am having the following error upon running `sudo apt-get update` , the error is W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [17:40] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. please note i have already tried [17:40] sudo apt-get purge anon-proxy but with no success !

[17:41] I've just set a passphrase on my ssh rsa key, and then tried it out by connecting to one of my other hosts, but it didn't ask me for a passphrase... is it cacheing the key or something?

[18:02] dougiel, I agree [18:02] is there a way to open the xorg file from the desktop? [18:02] I'm trying a run an Ubuntu live CD, but I get an "out of range" error from the video monitor. Using "safe" video doesn't help. Are there any other options? [18:02] farf there is a way to do evrey thing in linux [18:03] farf, is that machine still running? [18:03] dougiel: divide by zero? [18:03] k, can i open the xorg file and see if its intact? or fix it somehow lol [18:03] valued_customer, F6 on the boot screen give you some advanced options [18:03] ya, its back into the desktop now [18:03] wassy121, lol [18:03] farf, use tab completion... like this [18:04] no why burn i need mount it [18:04] farf, nan(tab)(space)et(tab)X(tab)xorg(tab) do not hit enter and tell me what it says [18:05] !iso | Rencx [18:05] Rencx: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [18:05] Rencx, what you use to mount ? [18:05] erm, lol where do i do that at, and am i just typing nan and whatnot? [18:05] gmountiso is good [18:05] farf, do that at a username@username-desktop prompt [18:06] when you hit tab it should complete the partial data you were typing [18:06] slm [18:06] k [18:06] sec [18:06] farf, you command should look like nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:06] neyi [18:07] Does anyone here know where i can get Atheros drivers that work? I can't seem to get madwifi to work =( [18:07] farf, if it does not you need to reinstall [18:07] neyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [18:07] ok, so ya its got the command [18:07] and it opens, but says its a new file [18:07] so, format and reinstall? [18:08] farf, my vote is yes, reinstall [18:08] blarg [18:08] k [18:08] farf, if you used the tab key it would not say new file [18:08] should i redo the partition and everything or just reinstal? [18:08] do you speak turkish [18:08] emrah, #ubuntu-tr [18:08] farf, how many partitions are there? [18:09] just 1 should be [18:09] farf, i prefer to wipe and reinstall, but it's your choice... [18:09] farf, wipe and reinstall [18:09] call in the nukes?? [18:09] they've been on standby since 8 am [18:09] lol [18:10] * dougiel sends a drive strike to farf's box [18:10] guys im having a problem: most of the configurations i make - main menu configs, desktop configs and even some system updates are not being saved, as if their folders are read only or somethin [18:10] anyone here how to hack using ubuntu [18:10] hello @ubunt [18:11] farf, just so you know I had the same basic issue yesterday when I tried to install 180.22 from Nvidia...I wiped and reinstalled this AM [18:11] clarks, no [18:11] clarks, that is not welcome here. [18:11] damned nvidia :( [18:11] farf, you should be able to select a option from grub to get x working out of the box... then it is just the one file from nvidia you need to run... it edit's xorg.conf automatically [18:11] Does a package exist that ill let me save passwords and hashes to a floppy? [18:11] aww hell [18:11] i'm running a mythbutnu install...so my video is very important [18:11] i didnt save the nvidia file [18:11] *will [18:12] i had same problem with old geforce 4 440mx i took it out and bought ati 9200se and works perfect [18:12] farf, once you get a good install you should be able to install the Nvidia driver from the drivers app [18:12] BCampbell, what are you using for a remote for myth? [18:12] brb desperately need a smoke [18:12] dougiel, no remote just picked up a pvr150 this is my first foray into myth [18:12] * dougiel has desktop downstairs and tv upstairs === stufkan is now known as Stufkan [18:13] BCampbell, and how does it work for you? [18:13] Hi.. I am new to linux and I am having a problem.. Today i tried to boot my ubuntu just as I normaly do but I just don't boot. And I only get this message "Ubuntu 7.10 computername tty". Can anyone help me? [18:13] <|neon|> why is it so hard to configure dual monitors using nvidia settings with intrepid randr, i do not want to configure two different size screens with twin view, i want to configure them as separate x screens but after a week i'm giving up any suggestions [18:14] how do i schedule downloads in Transmission? [18:14] dougiel, hard to tell..if I could keep from f-ing up my video I might be able to find out. getting green artifacts in the video, which is what sent me on the quest for better drivers [18:14] |neon|, I have mine doing that now - what symptoms are you experiencing? === sahil_ is now known as fuser [18:15] cellcore: I just woke up, I do not know what tty is, but I will search the forums for you [18:15] cellcore, you booted fine. [18:16] cellcore, the problem is that you have multiple terminals available - some in text mode, some in graphics mode. [18:16] BCampbell, have you tried vdr - that has always been a bit easier to config... I have yet to see mythtv display tv (been 3 years I have had my dvb card) and only vdr ever worked [18:16] hi there channel :) === Stufkan is now known as stufkan [18:16] cellcore tty deals with keyboards from my understanding, I guess I'm make sure that the keyboard is plugged in and that nothing is pressing the buttons (sort of a guess though heh) [18:17] dougiel, no is it in the repositires? [18:17] gad I was defeated [18:17] cellcore, you're probably looking at a text terminai. You can toggle between terminals with Ctrl+Alt+Fn, where "Fn" is a function key. Try Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get a "graphic" terminal. [18:17] shockwave player for firefox under ubuntu [18:17] <|neon|> dougiel: i have a laptop screen res 1440x900 i have an external lcd res 1600x1200 when i tried to configure as separate x screens, the external lcd only shows like 2/3 of the screen i cannn't change the res, if i use twin view it covers the entire screen on both the laptop and lcd but the laptop having the smaler res looks funny, i want oto have them as separate screens working independent [18:18] is it possible [18:18] BCampbell, I dunno... I kinda have a buddy that does live cds and I install the complete system with developers source [18:18] Is it possible to install ubuntu over vnc? If yes, what steps do I have to take? [18:18] |neon| so you can make them separate and independent but run into issues graphically? or is it totally impossible [18:18] dougiel, seems to be...downloading now [18:19] |neon|, it is your compiz - turn it of and see what 2 x sessions gives you - I just figer'd it out on my config today... the left portion of the screen displays cut off image correct?

[18:22] thanx BCampbell [18:22] can any1 help me? [18:22] |neon|, lemme know... I had 4:3 display as primary and 16:9 as secondary but I am sure that is the issue [18:23] <|neon|> dougiel: i will let you know [18:23] thx [18:23] elfgoh, guote key? [18:23] can i get the whole channel list BCampbell [18:23] ¨ [18:23] I think it is a compiz bug but not knowing enuff I never reported it or anything [18:23] this is very strange, I was running latest ubuntu on my Lenovo x61 with latest 2.6.28 kernel. I fiddled with sound config in kernel for 2.6.28.1 and laptop started perfectly, but no sound. Now I go to generic ubuntu kernel 2.6.27 and still no sound, while this used to work perfectly. X61 has Intel HD, i tried the sound controls on laptop, fiddling with sound preferences, nothing, any ideas? [18:23] elfgoh, may be you need to change the keyboard layout [18:24] shubbar,: how do i do that frm the CLI? [18:24] i am using lxde [18:24] no gnome [18:24] i shutdown the machine completely just to be sure, and still nothing with known working kernels... [18:24] fuser, which client are you using? [18:24] i cannt find xorg.conf [18:24] running on intrepid [18:24] elfgoh look in /ect/X11 [18:24] so hw do I change my keyboard layout? [18:25] nyaa: ok.. try tt nw [18:25] How can I customize the default icon for an application? The default urxvt icon is pretty ugly and I want to replace it [18:25] elfgoh, from System > Preferences > Keyboard and then Layout tab [18:25] I get no errors when trying to play something, but no sound...tried headphone jack nothing... [18:25] nyaa: it is empty [18:25] xorg.conf is empty [18:26] shubbar: i am using lxde instead of gnome [18:26] so that tip does not help [18:26] elfgoh, /etc/X11/xorg.conf = empty? [18:26] nvm, I'll just replace it in pixmaps [18:26] ok so, im trying to format and reinstall....rebooted w/ the cd and everything, starts to load after i click install ubuntu, now im stuck at a prompt of ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [18:26] cellcore, that's odd... [18:26] so, how can i reinstall it :p [18:26] Hey all, quick question. I have a Memorex mx4400rf. I know, I know, it's rather old. But it's been my only way of getting internet on my laptop. How can I get Ubuntu to recognize it? [18:26] Oh -- I forgot to mention, that it's a wireless adaptor. [18:26] Is the bootchart web renderer down, and if so how can I render my bootchart.tgz log (offline or alternative renderers)? I have tried using a web browser and curl for online, and "java -jar bootchart.jar" and "java -cp bootchart.jar org.bootchart.Main" locally but neither work for offline rendering. [18:27] dougiel, yes xorg.conf is empty [18:27] farf, you rebooted cd with default options? [18:27] guys im having a problem: most of the configurations i make - main menu configs, desktop configs and even some system updates are not being saved, as if their folders are read only or somethin [18:27] yup [18:27] elfgoh, farf did that too - dunno what to say [18:27] takes me to where i can try ubuntu etc, clicked install, and now its at that prompt [18:27] how do i add a user in terminal ? [18:28] farf, there is an option to boot live cd in vesa mode correct? [18:28] orudie: adduser [18:28] lemme look, the last time i got to vesa mode was to edit the xorg.conf file [18:28] should i boot to the live cd? [18:29] farf, reboot the cd again and hit the down arrow key (to stop auto starting) and tell me what options you have. [18:29] Hello-lo-lo-loooo [18:29] ok, right now im at the ubuntu screen, has try ubuntu w/o changes, install, check cd for defets, test memory, boot from hd [18:29] help-elp-lp-lp-p... [18:29] i pressed f4 to get the other option and i can do normal or safe graphics mode (last time that didnt work for me) [18:30] Lorenzo: That's not necessary, just explain the problem you're having [18:30] hey, I am using an atheros card and the internet acts very strange when I use the wireless. [18:30] I need help to solve the problem [18:30] hey all, finally got my video card working and now Im wondering how I get the nicer themes on my desktop like some of the Compiz or Emerald ones [18:30] Hi! My aptitude is complaining that it can't find some public keys for a couple PPAs I'm using. The fingerprints are 778978B00F7992B0 and 632D16BB0C713DA6. Where can I find those keys? [18:31] hey guys, has anyone installed Neverwinter Nights? [18:31] gerob: You can just go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and then desktop effects I think... For more modular control, I suggest doing sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager === Ewidiusz is now known as VVlodarrius [18:31] farf, do the safe graphics mode and tell me what happens === stufkan is now known as Stufkan [18:32] hye all [18:32] ASULutzy -- I imagine it's something really easy, but I am an hour fresh to Ubuntu. I have a really old wireless adaptor, a Memorex mx4400rf. I have it plugged in to my USB but do not know how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. [18:32] hey, anyone can give me a hand [18:32] ? [18:32] farf, what kind of video card do you have? [18:32] k, so, i pressed enter on safe graphics, do i do try ubuntu or install ubuntu? [18:32] gefore 6200 [18:33] Is the bootchart web renderer down, and if so how can I render my bootchart.tgz log (offline or alternative renderers)? I have tried using a web browser and curl for online, and "java -jar bootchart.jar" and "java -cp bootchart.jar org.bootchart.Main" locally but neither work for offline rendering. [18:33] Lorenzo: I'm not familiar with that specific adapter, one sec, I'll see if I can find anything... Google is probably your friend here [18:33] farf, exactly the same card here - I'd do the install [18:33] thats what i clicked the last time and it took me to that ubuntu@ubuntu prompt and stopped loading [18:33] this is useless [18:34] I haven't had one question answered here since I installed ubuntu [18:34] later [18:34] :( [18:34] ytoox [18:34] oops [18:34] Lorenzo: It's a mouse right? [18:34] farf, ok the select the try - there is an install option from the live boot [18:34] ASULutzy: Thanks, I will let you know if I have any more questions regarding the setup. [18:35] don't think ytoox ever asked a question [18:35] BCampbell, no - not one that made sense [18:35] just question like "using atheros card and internet doin crazy things" so very specific :P [18:35] waiting for it to load... [18:35] ASULutzy -- I grabbed the wrong adapter. Don't I feel stupid. Hold on a second. [18:35] farf, k [18:35] can someone help me with some permissions issues? I'm running a .sh to install Neverwinter Nights and it won't let me write to where it has to be installed [18:36] I set the folder privleges to all read/write [18:36] but no luck [18:36] plytheman, running as root? try "sudo sh
