[00:20] Dexi: Dunno, I haven't set up aliases in a while. I think you could do something like "cd /path/to/file; commandname", though. If that doesn't work, making a bash script would.

[00:20] gogereaver: before I was describing as C:\torrents when that was where it was stored... so wine will know it's Z drive and you don't need to mention it??? cause I think it looks at it from a windows perspective like windows is the os [00:20] I was hoping someone could give me a hand with it.

[01:14] Absolute1: if you do a fresh install, it will generally format your harddrive, if you don't do that it's not really a "fresh" install, so it would be an upgrade [01:14] sort of - live USB [01:15] Gerinych: no, just follow the instructions [01:15] Absolute1: not really, though it generally makes for a cleaner system to do a fresh install. one point, though. either mount your /home on a separate partition, or back it up before you start fresh, if that's what you decidee [01:15] Absolute1: unless your personal data is on external storage, ofcourse [01:15] jslootbeek: sorry didn't understand what you meant. :) [01:15] Im attempting to wipe everything except sda1 and sda7, move sda7 to sda2 and reallocate the remaining 60gb to ubuntu. [01:15] * on a fresh ubuntu install [01:15] Absolute1: no worries [01:15] Absolute1: because your /home stores just about 99% of the wacky GUI configurations you've made, among other user-specific things [01:15] PC_Nerd: depending on the size of those partitions, that will take an enormous amount of time [01:16] Absolute1: i've had the same /home for 3 years without a problem, across every upgrade, or fresh install [01:16] IndyGunFreak: time isnt the issue, the "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" is the main issue. [01:16] indygunfreak: well then i'm getting stuck on the find /boot/grub/stage1 part, i got 2 results and i don't know which one to use [01:16] I just installed a 8.4 installation, i didnt have the 810 [01:16] Absolute1: it always remembers my panel setup correctly for example [01:16] and now i am upgrading [01:16] Gerinych: what are the results? [01:16] rdw200169: well all that is in your .gnome dir [01:16] Absolute1: if you havn't really done anything, an upgrade shouldn't hurt. [01:16] indygunfreak: (hd1,0), (hd2,0) [01:16] samba is not finding some windows xp machines on my network... what should i do? [01:16] that will stay the same on any distro as well [01:16] I need to make sure that the data from sda1 and sda7 arent deleted, but i have backups in case. [01:17] Absolute1: yeah, but the other . directories do stuff too, like .gconf [01:17] Gerinych: you have two hard drives, correct? [01:17] they can find each other, but i can't find them from my ubuntu machine [01:17] Absolute1: chances are, if you've made lots of customizations, upgrades will probably break something [01:17] upgrade takse 40 minutes :( [01:17] indygunfreak: yes [01:17] install takes 10 [01:17] :) [01:17] Absolute1: for example, .mozilla is a definite keeper ;) [01:17] i need some advice on which system is best to use ubunut to run database server for development purpoese and virtualise windows OS (XP and windows 2003). 1) system with athlon x2 6400 ,4GB PC 5300 RAM ,Geforce 8600 GT or Intel Core2 7200 (2.53GHZ) 8GB PC6400 Ram ,radeon 3850 [01:17] Gerinych: which one is set to boot first?.. hd1 or 2? [01:17] Absolute1: I would not be happy if i didn't have my 3000 bookmarks ;) [01:17] hello there, a GUI program to convert AVI MJPEG to AVI DIVX ? [01:18] rdw200169: Opera Link is your friend [01:18] how do you delete the files left after removing an application via apt-get (the ones that allow you to reinstall w/out re-downloading?) [01:18] guys i have a quick question, when i was using fedora and its terminal when i run a command for example ls -l and when i select a certain line , i could drag and drop it but not anymore on ubuntu's so can i anyone help [01:18] kenalex: IMO Intel has better virtualization support if you're planning on using KVM. I havn't done much AMD work, though, so my opinion might be moot. [01:18] I just ran "sudo umount /dev/sda*" and all partitions are not mounted, however it still says that partitions higher than 5 are mounted. [01:18] MK13: aptitude clean I think [01:18] KenBW2: ah, but i don't like Opera [01:18] kk, thnx [01:19] indygunfreak: not even sure, when i got the error, i used "setup (hd0)" command [01:19] rdw200169: terrible [01:19] KenBW2: i've tried it, so don't hate! [01:19] KenBW2: i like firefox more [01:19] Gerinych: which obviously isn't right.. i'd try hd1 [01:19] rdw200169: what's to not like? [01:19] <_Vi_> operas nice just not enough extensions like firefox :) [01:19] Does anyone know of a map editor for OpenArena that runs on linux? [01:20] rdw200169: although i dont like its closed source-ness [01:20] *** It appears that swap space was "mounted" so i had to remove it to remove "lower" partitions [01:20] KenBW2: this is a debate that has no end, so let's stop [01:20] rdw200169: good plan [01:20] hey this is the ubuntu irc chat right? [01:20] linux: This is the Ubuntu support channel, yes. Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:20] <_Vi_> !welcome | linux [01:20] linux: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [01:21] thank you [01:21] hey i got a few questions [01:21] linux: speak and they shall be answered (maybe) [01:21] ok [01:21] I guess not [01:22] well first what can i program in ubuntu and with what programs can i do it with [01:22] i know c++ and lua programing for the psp [01:22] linux, you mean what programming languages are available? [01:22] woah o.O [01:22] yes [01:22] linux: Of course you can. There's a few IDEs available, and you can also use regular text editors, etc. [01:22] indygunfreak: so where would i get the source for installing grub? [01:22] linux, pretty much everything, from assembly to python, to qt, to c, to mono [01:22] Hello! anybody know what this http://pastebin.com/m69cc4e49 is? 8.10 amd64 user. Symptoms are: system doesn't shut down properly, nautilus crashes and won't launch and dvds won't mount (the pastebin is the output of dmesg | tail) also, on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/276088 [01:22] ok explain IDE more info about them [01:23] Gerinych: you don't need the source, you need to follow the instructions on the link i gave you [01:23] linux, you really gotta dig to find one that *isn't* supported [01:23] <_Vi_> VI :) with plugins :) [01:23] linux, heck you can even do java [01:23] ratpoison: initial glance looks like a harddisk problem [01:23] hey does anyone use Gnucleus here??? [01:23] ok well can i use Kdevelop to make psp games? [01:23] java FTW lol [01:23] ratpoison: or even your IDE link [01:23] anyone know a solution to this problem? eek> Absolute1: if you do a fresh install, it will generally format your harddrive, if you don't do that it's not really a "fresh" install, so it would be an upgrade [01:23] linux, well, i don't know anything about lua, but a quick google search should solve your problem [01:24] hey does anyone use Gnucleus here??? [01:24] jslootbeek: IDE? but... it's SATA [01:24] ratpoison: that's what i meant [01:24] ratpoison: sorry it's late...i should learn to read..:) [01:24] linux, keep in mind that linux, and unix, have some of the best *free* programming IDE's on earth [01:24] ratpoison: have you tried a different CD/DVD drive? [01:24] indygunfreak: yeah, but when you use the root command, you set the source of stage1 file and everything else related to that, right? [01:25] ok well what about psptoolchain thats the hardest thing to install without getting hella errors [01:25] jslootbeek: I don't have one available. But it seems unlikely that both DVD drives will fail, no? [01:25] who here was asking about openarena? [01:25] linux, sorry, i know *nothing* about that! [01:25] Gerinych: i really have no idea what you're talking about needign the source code for grub, i've used the live cd to reinstall grub many times w/ those instructions w/ no problem.. thats all i can tell you' [01:25] ratpoison: yeah, if it's both do you have motherboard diagnostics available? [01:26] rdw200169 its cool [01:26] indygunfreak: no, not the source code, the source of files used to boot grub [01:26] <_Vi_> anyone seen Onetinsoldier? he hasnt been around in like a month [01:26] Gerinych: if you're not gonna follow the instructions, then i can't help you [01:26] <_Vi_> sorry that was OT [01:26] ratpoison: when did you start noticing the problem? after a kernel update, or just out of the blue? [01:26] linux forgive me, but that is one darn *obscure* request, not many people out there programming for the PSP out there in the open source community ;) [01:27] anyone else getting "unable to enumerate usb device" in 2.6.28 with no keyboard response? I'm at my wit's end [01:27] jslootbeek: I think it was right there from the start I just reproduced it and pinpointed it only recently [01:27] linux, that I know of anyway, now if you want to know about Python, or C, or something more mainstream, much more help can be found! [01:27] rdw200169 yea but what all could i do with IDE's [01:27] linux: google psptoolchain & ubuntu -- tons of help, like http://forums.maxconsole.net/archive/index.php/t-69699.html [01:27] jslootbeek: the start = fresh install [01:27] guys i have a quick question, when i was using fedora and its terminal when i run a command for example ls -l and when i select a certain line , i could drag and drop it but not anymore on ubuntu's so can i anyone help [01:27] indygunfreak: i'm kind of trying to follow the instructions, but the "find" command returns 2 results and i dont know which one to use [01:28] ratpoison: hmm, tough to troubleshoot over IRC, i unfortunately don't have SATA optical drives myself [01:28] linux, that's a pandora's box, there are more options than I can care to list, but the biggest ones off the top of my head are eclipse, emacs, and the venerable Vim [01:28] Gerinych: and i told you, try hd1, and if that doesnt work, try the other one [01:28] ctlabs man im not gonna try psptoolcain theres like a 80% chance of getting an error and a 20% cance of success [01:28] Abed: I don't believe Ubuntu's implemented that version of terminal yet. [01:28] *chance [01:28] indygunfreak: oh, i thought you said try hd1 in the "setup" command [01:28] <_Vi_> drag and drop text? O.o new one on me sounds cool though [01:29] GoneWestCoast mmm damn it thnx though [01:29] :D [01:29] jslootbeek: ok, thnx for the effort, though [01:29] what, GoneWestCoast is here? :) [01:29] ratpoison: have you tried installing 2.6.27-9-generic fromm intrepid-updates? [01:29] linux I use Vim, then again, i like the dark utilitarian nature of a good text editor with all the features you could possibly want available from the keyboard as opposed to drop down menus and the like [01:29] ari_stress: Oh, I'm lots of places. :-p [01:29] jslootbeek: updates / backports are enabled [01:30] linux: besides kdevelop you can use Eclipse, which supports java, python, c/c++ etc [01:30] rdw200169 ok what language do you program in? [01:30] 2.6.27-11-generic is my uname -r output [01:30] linux I prefer Python [01:30] ratpoison: ok, i would take it to the #ubuntu-kernel channel [01:30] ok, thnx [01:30] linux then again, i don't do a lot of programming, mostly a lot of high-level scripting which Python is best suited for [01:30] ratpoison: better chance at catching an expert than this channel [01:30] Does anyone know how I can check the expiry date of a GPG key? I have it both imported and in a file. [01:31] rdw200169 nice nice well im a hacker(good side hacker) and a programmer [01:31] is it essential to have a swap partition? can I remove my swap and resize my main partition into the free space safely? [01:31] rdw200169 ok well when ur done codding what do u do with the files its not like Visual basic on windows [01:31] guys plz i have a problem, i cant join a channel cuz of a "é", how can i do?? [01:31] I also tried the #hal channel, since it looks like a hal problem, but it's been dead for a while [01:31] DefunctProcess: do you have more than 1g ram? [01:31] Hello People. [01:31] Shayle: Ask in #freenode [01:31] linux Python is also used to create many of the applications used on the Ubuntu Desktop; it's a powerful language with many libraries and compatibility across the board, i.e. windows, mac, and linux, when done right [01:31] is this a good place to get help with the fglrx driver under ubuntu? [01:31] temppy, 2GB... [01:32] DefunctProcess: the installer tends to piss and moan if you don't have a swap, but most modern systems don't really need it. [01:32] is there a network manager like the system tray applet that doesnt require a system tray to run? [01:32] how to determine what drive my wifi card is using. [01:32] DefunctProcess: I run on 2g without swap, never had a problem. In fact, when I did have swap, linux _never_ _ever_ used it [01:32] rdw200169 well i prefer c++ very useful and can code alot in it [01:32] xubuser: iwlist [01:32] temppy, thank you. [01:32] MK13: ok iwlist shows what driver is used? [01:33] xubuser: iwconfig, mb === mike is now known as Guest642 [01:33] linux, you just run them, Python creates binaries, but they're more for quicker code execution; for example, Civilization IV uses Python for a lot of the UI and AI elements to allow users more MOD capabilities since the files don't get compiled and turned into binary garbage [01:33] Hey everyone :) [01:33] one sec. === vax_ is now known as VaxNam [01:33] xubuser: what wifi device are you trying to get working? [01:33] anyway you cut it, C is faster than python though [01:33] rdw200169 i thought ubuntu cant execute files like that .exe ect ect [01:33] they dont answer GoneWestCoast :< [01:34] IndyGunFreak: I have a wifi card that is working. I want to see what drive it uses. Then when I boot in slax, I'd like to try to modprobe the same driver and see if wifi works. [01:34] linux: you can with wine [01:34] Hey everyone, Wondering how to remove something from the startup menu. Everytime I start Ubuntu the Install menu shows up, but I allready have the OS Installed. I installed Easy Peasy distro for ubuntu. Anyone have Ideas? [01:34] 2nd time lucky maybe, can anyone tell me how to reinstall an ATI card from the Console? [01:34] cdsboy i dont really preffer wine [01:34] linux: well i can, but its success varies, .. wine is a free try [01:34] MK13: I don't see the driver by iwconfig. Just the different interfaces.... [01:34] xubuser: i see [01:34] linux has so many native apps you rarely need wine [01:34] true [01:35] ive only used wine for some EE CAD and a game here or there [01:35] IndyGunFreak: so any idea how to determine which one is being used? [01:35] Need someone to tell me what console command can reinstall a graphics card! [01:35] Hmm, any help? [01:35] xubuser: not that i know of, what wifi device is it? [01:35] Onidemo: what do you mean "reinstall"? [01:36] VaxNam: Startup stuff? [01:36] is there a way to force a resolution using the fglrx driver? I need 1366x768 or 1280x720 resolution for the external monitor on my laptop but those options aren't showing up [01:36] xubuser: have you tried 'lshw -C network' ? [01:36] ortsvorsteher: I just reinstalled wpa_supplicant package and it all worked [01:36] jslootbeek: I was told in order to get back intot he GUI , i need to reinstall my ATI Radeon card [01:36] farf, hey the reinstall work? [01:36] IndyGunFreak: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.1 [01:36] Vigo: Indeed, but I tried going to session and I did not see a "Install" application there. [01:36] Onidemo: i assume you mean the kernel module is not loaded, if you do 'lsmod' do you see a line that starts with "radeon"? [01:36] rdw200169 the IDE is called eclipse right? [01:36] linux, well i was only giving an example, Python is OS independent, so you can use it in windows or linux [01:37] xubuser: why not just google instructions to get that device working w/ slax? [01:37] rdw200169 ok hey thanks for the help :) [01:37] IndyGunFreak: well, it started with being a quick copy driver thing. But now the google approach might be better. :) [01:37] anyone know of working dialup modems for ubuntu? [01:37] vigo: Any Ideas? [01:37] VaxNam: There is a GUI in System> Admin that is a clicky to stop or start programs on boot [01:37] Or anyone for that matter [01:37] <_Vi_> !dialup [01:37] You want to connect via dial-up?

Thanks [01:38] Thank you [01:38] rdw200169 ok thanks [01:38] linux, but take a shot and try VIM for programming, it's a steep learning curve but many swear it's the best out there [01:39] <_Vi_> it is [01:39] VaxNam: it worked for me and was easy. [01:39] vigo: I'm using a Easy Peasy [01:39] rdw200169 ok um do were do i find this out [01:39] linux, vim.org of course [01:39] is there anyways to install itunes? [01:39] other than wine [01:39] >< [01:39] rdw200169 of course lol brb [01:39] grkblood13: nope, sorry [01:39] anyone use Gnucleus??? [01:39] rdw200169 thanks again [01:39] grkblood13: you dont need it. try amarok. or banshee [01:39] one other thing is the update acpi-support fails to install.... should one just remove it? [01:39] linux: you could also try emacs ;) [01:39] is there a program that can access the itunes store? [01:40] vigo: I don't have an option like that, but I tried Session > Startup and it wasn't there. [01:40] can banshee access the store? [01:40] grkblood13: not that i know of..... [01:40] VaxNam: whoops,, look at what Flannel popped on [01:40] samuel well for now im going to try eclipse and vim but thanks anyways [01:40] i dont think so. boycott drm though grkblood13 [01:40] :D [01:40] grkblood13: i Think Songbird is working on it. I'm not sure. [01:40] well, i dont wanna buy anything i want the free podcasts [01:40] Vigo: What?

[01:41] grkblood13: yeah, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me [01:42] too much trouble to get dialup working, and it's not worth it [01:42] Greetings [01:42] does any1 know if songbird has access to the podcasts? [01:42] now works. [01:42] grkblood13: you're gonna have to check their website on that one! [01:42] will do [01:43] I just installed 8.10 on my laptop. The sound card work, but for some reason the headphones socket doesn't. [01:44] uatec: what brand laptop? [01:44] it's an MSI, the soundcard is realtek, i'm looking for the exact model, but i haven't found it yet [01:44] uatec: make sure that the headphone switch is not muted. check alsamixer or the volume control [01:44] Vigo: Thanks, I'm installing bum now to see if it works [01:44] i foudn a prog with access to itunes! or so the article says [01:45] PyMusique [01:45] im about to grad it [01:45] Anyone know why my volume control settings keep reverting back as soon as I close the window or change audio source? [01:45] VaxNam: okee dokee,,was Flannel that suggested it, but that is a fix that I have seen work [01:45] uatec: have you updated completely, or is it a fresh install? [01:45] kdub, the headphone socket is not muted. I also have music coming out of the onboard speakers while the headphones are plugged in [01:45] it's fully updated [01:45] rdw200169 hey whats up with the make install like what is all that about? [01:46] my RealTek has done that b4, but i don't remember how i got it to work [01:47] rubbish === spree is now known as hithere [01:48] evolution sucks [01:48] how do a copy a file from my desktop and paste it to my external drive? i can't believe i'm having to as this... [01:48] is there any way to make ubuntu have drivers integrated in install? [01:48] does the grub get updated after every kernel update? Because mine does but it leaves the old entries on the menu. [01:48] rdw200169 i love you [01:49] rdw200169 lmfao jk [01:49] AceBlade258, ubuntu has tons of integrated drivers already there during install.. what other drivers are you thinking of? [01:49] linux i'm off to bed! [01:49] specifically SB X-Fi and nVidia Ge Force [01:49] rdw200169 lol kk man peace [01:49] Vigo: I do not see anything there, even in advanced, that says anything about a startup item 'Install' or 'System Install' [01:49] MK13: that is normal-- would not want you update to new one and be left unbootable [01:49] AceBlade258, those are not open source drivers..so no [01:49] i can't seem to write a file to my external usb ntfs drive. any ideas? [01:49] AceBlade258, nvidia gforce are there.. which version? as for X-Fi at some point maybe.. [01:49] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: sudo cp /home/sellyoursoul/file /media/disk/ shoudl do it (Assuming /media/disk/ is your external) [01:49] uatec: find help in #alsa [01:49] <\kira> sellyoursoul: what does it do? [01:50] then is there any way to make it use closed source [01:50] thanks _vi_ [01:50] <\kira> sellyoursoul: errors? Does it have the desktop icon? [01:50] sellyoursoul, insttall ntfs-config it should allow you to set write permissions very easily [01:50] VaxNam: what version? [01:50] redvamp128: but i can still choose the old entries and boot just fine [01:50] let me try vi's tip [01:50] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: oh wait its NTFS? [01:50] That is the point [01:50] scunzi: when i boot mine it says "Ubuntu is rinning in low graphics mode" [01:50] yes, ntfs [01:50] MK13: that is the point of why-- [01:50] AceBlade258, you just install the drivers after install...same as Windows [01:51] anyone know what apt-get is written in? [01:51] Vigo: Of ubuntu? How would I find out, Easy Peasy really didn't tell me what version I had. [01:51] redvamp128: is it safe to remove the old entries after you know the update is correct? [01:51] sellyoursoul: have you installed-- in synaptic ntfs-3g? [01:51] MK13: for me I remove all but the last 2 [01:51] redvamp128, yes i have [01:52] hello [01:52] VaxNam: lsb_release -a in a terminal will tell you the version of ubuntu you have [01:52] <\kira> !hi | amadeobellotti [01:52] amadeobellotti: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:52] BCampbell: there is the problem, when i boot it gives me the low graphics mode message, then when i tell it to continure anyway it restarts the graphics adapter and crashes [01:52] i was wondering if i could get some help [01:52] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: have you tried samba? [01:52] MK13: Though you have to sudo gedit and then open the file to edit it [01:52] <\kira> !ask | amadeobellotti [01:52] amadeobellotti: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:52] (i got it working once before) [01:52] VaxNam: uhm ok,,let me look up easy peasy [01:52] no, but i'll make a note of samba [01:52] AceBlade258, which nvidia card and which driver? [01:53] Vigo: 8.10 [01:53] ok cool so my laptop battery isnt charging all the way the last charge was only 3.8 Wh where the designed was for 88 wh [01:53] Vigo: its a netbook remix distro [01:53] bahhh! do i need to use an underscore in files names where there are spaces in the file name? [01:53] GeForce 8800GTS, and any that works, the last time i got it working took me two hours and the driver version was 177 [01:53] sellyoursoul: it does not let you write to it but does the system see it [01:53] i would like to use 180 [01:53] VaxNam: that command should still work in a terminal, but i believe ubuntu nbr is based on 8.04 Hardy [01:53] AceBlade258, what stopped it from working? [01:53] hi, i have several users of debian and/or ubuntu on my LAN, and i would like to set up an apt-cacher to conserve bandwidth. is there any way to set one up on a non-debian-based computer? my router is the only computer constantly on and it runs openbsd, so i'd like to set it up on that [01:54] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: ok, theres a few GUI for samba that you can use too, just look in synaptic for samba, i think one is called swat, [01:54] How do I view my Hardware Specs? Is there an easy way to view info like mobo, RAM, chipset and what not? [01:54] redvamp: yes. i can copy files from the drive also. just not write to it, it seems [01:54] AceBlade258, the 177 driver is not the best.. the 180.xx direct from nvidia works much better. [01:54] sellyoursoul: and which version of Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 [01:54] xubuntu 8.04 [01:54] <_Vi_> that's what i have [01:54] you could try opening it up as sudo natilus [01:54] scunizi, 180.22 crashed my system..but it may just be me [01:54] does anyone here use ubuntu IDE eclipse? [01:54] i like it, i just don't know how to do much yet [01:54] Though to note-- DO NOT WRITE TO YOUR OWN SYSTEM [01:54] scunzi: i think you told me that last time, never got the chance to try [01:54] <_Vi_> redvamp128: gksudo [01:55] sellyoursoul, "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" should fix your problem [01:55] what is gk in gksudo? [01:55] linux: yes [01:55] my brother took the liberty of reformatting my linux partition through windows [01:55] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: dont use sudo with graphical stuff [01:55] IndyGunFreak: It did work, I found the distro. It's 8.10. I'm just trying to remove the start up "Install" application from boot. [01:55] <_Vi_> !gksu [01:55] Also for Vigo [01:55] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:55] ubottu: gksudo [01:55] VaxNam: Okay, is at sourceforge, is not an official Ubuntu package, but heck, back-up, re-install [01:55] hey guys, i'm trying to burn a iso to a usb drive in ubuntu [01:55] jpdota: hey did u use instal it in terminal? [01:55] can someone help me figure this out [01:55] ubottu: gksudo [01:55] <_Vi_> its !gksu [01:56] linux: yes, i installed it in terminal, it's just sudo apt-get install eclipse [01:56] There is no way I can remove the startup Item of install, Vigo? I'd have to reinstall the whole thing? [01:56] how do i edit the properties of a launcher? [01:56] jpdota: ok well um how do i use it? [01:56] jpdota: maybe even as a desktop app? [01:56] VaxNam: try this.. open a terminal type "gnome-session-properties" no quotes, hit enter, and then find what you don't want to load at startup, and uncheck it. [01:56] linux: Applications --> Programming --> Eclipse or type eclipse in the command line [01:57] AceBlade258, when restarting..can you choose the option to use default graphic setting as apposed to low graphics mode [01:57] ok cool so my laptop battery isnt charging all the way the last charge was only 3.8 Wh where the designed was for 88 wh. what would cause this, and how do i fix it [01:57] sudo is for non gui stuff, gksudo for gui stuff? [01:57] jpdota: kk thanks === Mood is now known as mood [01:57] sellyoursoul: correct [01:57] linux: no problem, happy coding [01:57] VaxNam: Ubuntu does have some PPC and other distros that may work,,if you go Terrminal, yes, they might could be removed,,but without proper documentation it is a tough call. [01:57] prince: thanks [01:57] i cannot download anythung t ubuntu ibex [01:57] jpdota: you to [01:57] someone please help me [01:57] yes, when i do it tells me to restart and i do, it just brings me back to the same thing [01:57] it's odd [01:57] nm [01:58] this is using firefox [01:58] AceBlade258, sounds like maybe your x conf is fouled [01:58] jpdota: you ever code anything? [01:58] IndyGunFreak: I tried that already, the Application "Install" or anything along those lines is not in there. [01:58] linux: yes [01:58] vigo: I see [01:58] jpdota: like?

[01:59] did sudo apt-get install ntfs-config but no luck [01:59] IndyGunFreak: Haha, I've never seen this before. [01:59] maybe i need to restart x? [01:59] jpdota: ice hey you have a psp? because i code in lua and c++ coding game/app ect ect [02:00] redvamp: is there a way to remove the old kernels?

[02:00] sellyoursoul, did you look in the menu? applications -> system tools? [02:00] linux: no i don't [02:00] IndyGunFreak: I'll take a screenshot [02:00] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: try sudo apt-get install ntfs [02:00] ok [02:00] jpdota: ok well thanks peace [02:00] BCampbell can u help me please [02:00] linux: welcome, have a good one [02:01] joljam, not sure what are you trying to do?

[02:03] VaxNam: are you running the "live" version, or are you installed.

[02:04] joljam you try reseting your computer? [02:04] IndyGunFreak: So I'm Installed, I installed using a USB [02:04] VaxNam: that really shouldn't matter, i did the same thing on my AAO, but i installed normal ubuntu. [02:04] BCampbell.. I hit Ctrl+Y and nothing is seen in the window [02:04] BCampbell: i'm going to restart and see if anything changes.

[02:05] VaxNam: go through your sessions/startup list.. and see if you see a program called "ubiquity" set to start on startup [02:05] linux:---how can I reset my computer from commandline [02:05] ok [02:05] Can someone help me to | Switch my radeon_drv to radeon driver | ?

I need help. :< [02:08] KNY: towards the end it will ask whether to use KDM or GDM, use GDM [02:08] linux:- I installed ubuntu from usb [02:08] Didn't the last time I installed Kubuntu desktop [02:08] I'll be back [02:09] Cpudan80, towards the end of the kubuntu-desktop install?

[02:10] BCampbell: xubuntu 8.04 [02:11] <_Vi_> quiksilver: i think its a creator too [02:11] <_Vi_> could be wrong though [02:11] Cpudan80: for some reason the past 2 times I installed Kubuntu desktop on 8.10 it asked but then after I signed into the kde desktop KDM took over [02:11] IndyGunFreak: Backups are a good routine to get into , especially when making system changes or even typing "Hello World" . [02:11] _Vi_: any ideas as to why the partition editor in the install isn't showing my partitions ? [02:11] redvamp128: hrm... [02:11] Cpudan80: but once I ran that command it never took over again (and yes I chose GDM) [02:11] joljam on your control panel go to System - Administration - Software Sources [02:11] redvamp128: maybe you have to do it from apt-get on the command line? [02:12] joljam tell me when you got that [02:12] redvamp128: When I did it the reconfigure thing came up close to the end [02:12] Cpudan80: that is why I told him to remember that [02:12] vigo: i'm pretty religous about backups, i can be backup, almost completely, in around an hour or so.

[02:13] redvamp128: well if you set KDE as the default that might happen [02:13] Hey guys [02:13] <_Vi_> Stargazer: not off hand, maybe it was just a fluke? at any rate there is a gparted Live CD or ther's is also Parted Magic live CD you could try those to partition the drives [02:13] vigo: only took me screwing up my windows with a screwed up pclinus OS install to learn the importance...(it wasn't PCLOS's fault, it was me being a newb moron) [02:13] Cpudan80: I think it is because 1strun for KDE desktop sets that up as default [02:13] joljam ok now see were it says updates click that and look down towards the bottom it should say large term suport only make it were it says normal releases [02:13] I'm only getting about 8000 concurrent connections on my Ubuntu server [02:14] joljam then close [02:14] Is there anything I can tweak in sysctl to support more connections?

[02:30] vax_ what does it do? :P [02:30] Hmm that's interesting [02:30] Um, my xorg.conf could use some help. More like a LOT of help. I have three ways to connect the mythbox to the TV: DVI, Composite, and S-Video. So far none of them work right. [02:30] just on a side note, how many viruses for ubuntu are there now? [02:30] Luke9: ? [02:30] I'm running gnome-terminal --command x. [02:30] By "work right", I mean "has proper resolution, is centered, and is the right color". Could anyone assist me with the configuration? I would really appreciate it. [02:30] When I try to get on here from my Linux PC it asks me to trust applet/add to whiteboard, so I click ok [02:30] Opens 1000 Links every few seconds causeing it to crash. [02:30] How do I make it stay open after x is done? [02:30] And it's just a gray screen [02:31] MK131 are you using a nvidia card? [02:31] IndyGunFreak: It worked! [02:31] Luke9: did you ever figure out what chipset your friend has? [02:31] vax_: i thought i might.. ;) [02:31] Yea [02:31] jcapinc: it looks like vbox segfaulted [02:31] He's working on it [02:31] Any idea how I can get on here through my Linux machine? [02:31] Luke9: does he have internet access at all? [02:31] IndyGunFreak: Thanks again. Thank you too, Vigo. [02:32] Luke9 XChat, thats what im using [02:32] (I'm hanging out on the Recovery Mode screen right now.) [02:32] Indy, he's booting back to Linux to test it out [02:32] Luke9: oh ok. [02:32] mindvirus: so what can i do to make ubuntu not grey up [02:32] tsuna27, get a better computer. [02:32] hey my dad has a computer that runs on windows is there any way for us to share files [02:32] my comp runs on linux [02:32] mike12, take your pick. [02:33] mike12 samba [02:33] oh samba [02:33] ok thanks [02:33] mike12 check out network places [02:33] * ic3fr0g off [02:33] whats a good GUI FTP/SFTP app, perferably with XCRC support? [02:34] Nautilus__ Filezilla is a wonderful FTP program, but I dont know what XCRC is, though I suspect that Filezilla would support it [02:34] Nautilus__, nautilus. [02:34] Nautilus__: I really like the FireFTP firefox addon. I don't use any standalone programs. [02:34] jcap, sorry I'm such a newb but when I click download it says "index of /files/binary/rpm" what do I do now? [02:34] I'm running gnome-terminal --command x. [02:34] How do I make it stay open after x is done? [02:35] Hello. What would people recommend as the best option for automatic backups? [02:35] can anyone tell me where the default java classes are installed to? [02:35] has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ? [02:35] !backup [02:35] 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 [02:35] how do i repair apt, i accidently deleted my sources.list file [02:35] whydoesithurt: i use externaldrive 1.0 [02:35] mindrape, thanks much [02:35] jcapinc: XCRC does a CRC check after the transfer, id i understand it correctly [02:35] ned: I can provide you a new one... if you'd like. [02:35] is-if [02:35] bah, cant type [02:35] anyone know of a statistical analysis like minitab for ubuntu? [02:35] mindrape, please [02:35] has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ? [02:35] ned: ?... how can you accidentally delete your source list? [02:36] jedi06: R [02:36] MindVirus -> remove the --command x [02:36] caboosification: please don't repeat [02:36] IndyGunFreak, pretty easily [02:36] Nautilus__ yea, Im a web guy and I use ftp all the time, but I dont know what that is. I still recommend filezilla [02:36] n8tuser, no, I need to have the output open. [02:36] MindVirus: Heh, as you may guess my nick is not about the file manager ;) [02:36] whydoesithurt: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc [02:36] ned: in your opinon, what were you doing as root that allowed you to do it. [02:36] Nautilus__, nautilus has FTP/SFTP support, AFAIK. [02:36] still haven't figured out why i can't write to my usb ntfs drive. should there be an entry in fstab for the drive? [02:36] sellyoursoul, yes. [02:36] MindVirus: it's missing [02:37] Then make it. [02:37] jcapinc: thanks, that I'm familiar with [02:37] sellyoursoul: USB drives don't need fstab entries [02:37] which call is better for incron if i want to launch a script when a dir is created inside /my/watch/dir ... the process creating the dir is creating the dir, writing files inside the dir for about 4 minutes, then exiting. should i use : IN_CLOSE_WRITE File opened for writing was closed ........ or should i use IN_CREATE File/directory created in watched directory ? [02:37] can anyone reccomend a great music player for ubuntu? [02:37] sellyoursoul -> nope, no need to have an entry in your /etc/fstab for temporarily mounts [02:37] quiksilver, Rhythmbox. [02:37] quicksilver audacious [02:37] Audacious is not a music player. [02:37] quicksilver: either Banshee or Amorok [02:37] It's a sequencer. [02:37] well damn. i'm really lost, ha, ha. [02:37] quiksilver: Rhythmbox? [02:37] yes it is [02:37] quicksilver: depends on what you mean by great, audacious, rhythmbox, songbird, helix-player, amarok, there's several good ones [02:37] quicksilver_: do you want simple or winamp style, or itunes style? [02:38] mrwes quiksilver: Rythmbox is meh [02:38] itunes style [02:38] quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser [02:38] has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ? [02:38] caboosification: I told you not to repeat [02:38] caboosification: no lol that wont work [02:38] caboosification -> can you try to google for it? [02:38] i have tried googling it [02:38] quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser can be configured to look like itunes [02:38] cant find anything [02:39] i want to put a partition and boot from that partition [02:39] on the ipod [02:39] caboosification: /msg caboosificationhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+install+on+ipod&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= [02:39] caboosification -> then it doesnt magically become available here [02:39] Luke9: did he ever figure it out? [02:39] How do i Navigate to a folder in Terminal so i can execute a command? [02:39] cd [02:39] Onidemo: cd [02:39] nvm i guess [02:39] what can I do to make ubuntu run faster [02:39] quicksilver_: audacious :) [02:39] thanks [02:40] tsuna27, get better hardware. [02:40] quicksilver_: or if you have the kde libraries, amarok [02:40] tsuna27, Ubuntu is remarkably optimized. [02:40] !sbackup [02:40] 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 [02:40] Close running processes or tabs, tsuna27.

[02:41] Is there any way to limit cpu/memory consumption on a process basis, rather than a user (which I would use ulimit for) ?

[02:43] yes [02:43] jcapinc: no clue centrino [02:43] tsuna27 - to tell people your computer stats type sudo lshw -short [02:43] then copy and pastebin the results. [02:43] quick question: I can get dual displays working properly using the ATI Catalyst control center (in 8.10) but when I restart my setting get reverted back to one display mirroring the other. How can I fix this? [02:43] quiksilver: what Tech-Mike said, rhythmox [02:43] Woot I'm in [02:43] tsuna27 the thing I dont get is th grey screen, I mean it sounds like a hardware problem and not ubuntu, as if there is something wrong with your screen [02:43] thanks guysj [02:44] quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser [02:44] avantcore I have the same issue, I would love to know the answer [02:44] Forget gmusicbrowser. [02:44] thanks jcap [02:44] Don't install excess. [02:44] Rhythmbox is built-in and is excellent. [02:44] jcapinc: no it only happens when it freezs up [02:44] bloat [02:44] !pastebin [02:44] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:44] rythmbox = bloat [02:45] when i try to change directory via 'cd /home/myname' nothing happens. [02:45] sellyoursoul: you are probably already there... type pwd [02:45] jcapinc:http://paste.ubuntu.com/107570/ [02:45] atom^x exactly, screw music librarys...just use playlists like winamp/audacious does (winamp can but that windows, bleh) [02:46] sellyoursoul: you can just type cd ~ [02:46] jrib what is the package name? [02:46] Tech-Mike: where do i add the songs from [02:46] if i have alibrary anyways wats the difference? [02:46] for which, rhythmbox or audacious === _emet is now known as _emet_ [02:46] audacious [02:47] first right click and do view- playlist editor [02:47] then use the ADD button [02:48] any link please to create usb live ubuntu drive from xp? [02:48] my drive is named 'green box'. i'm entering 'cd /media/green box'. terminal says directory doesn't exist [02:48] when you have spaces you need a \ [02:48] cd /media/green\ box [02:48] nightrid3r, what's u[ dog [02:48] ah ha thanks [02:49] what is the package for R on ubuntu [02:49] marine: yow [02:49] sudo apt-cache search R [02:50] I'm trying to download bittorrent for feisty, but every single link is broken at http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/all/bittorrent/download [02:50] jcapinc: hows it goin [02:50] mindrape: I didn't know taht, nice one :) [02:50] sudo apt-cache search R | less [02:50] am i doing something wrong? [02:50] mindrape: I usually just google it [02:51] raldi: sudo apt-get install bittorrent [02:51] tsuna27 I just finished looking up your processor..... its OLD, I think tha machine is too old to run ubuntu [02:51] nightrid3r, finally figured out what i was doing wrong with the boot up in cd mode [02:51] raldi: read the top frame on that page [02:51] alguem ai? [02:51] oholiab: it doesn't work -- probably for the same reason that all those links are broken [02:51] jcapinc: what upgrades would you recommend [02:51] marine: so you learned something new :) [02:51] alguem do brasil online? [02:51] !br | jemerson [02:51] jemerson: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:51] nightrid3r, yeah you can say that [02:51] tsuna27: have you tried xubuntu? [02:51] !br [02:51] opa [02:51] Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to automatically spin down my hard drives after a certain period of inactivity? [02:51] br! [02:52] raldi - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-cache search torrent sudo apt-get install [02:52] nightrid3r, what option in the live cd [02:52] mib_yp7344: can I run compiz and make it look like a mac [02:52] alguem do brasil a fim de tc? [02:52] !hdparm [02:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdparm [02:52] thomc - man hdparm [02:52] jemerson: #ubuntu-br [02:52] raldi: hmm, strange, I just simulated the install and it was fine [02:52] marine: ?? [02:52] nightrid3r, do i chose to import the rest of the unallocated partition into this onee [02:53] oholiab: what site did it download it from? i can't find any site that actually has the .deb [02:53] marine: what you want to do? [02:53] oholiab: are you sure your simulation really downloaded anything? [02:53] raldi: I did the apt-get [02:53] night what option do i chose in livecd to import/move the unallocated partition into this one [02:53] tsuna27 wll the memory is fine, but you might need a little more space for ubuntu and a better processor. which for a laptop is difficult to replace, so I recomend a new laptop. Windows XP must be tough to run on that laptop [02:53] oholiab: the -s (simulate) switch doesn't actually do any downloading [02:54] tritium: yes, ut it must check that the package is actually there mustn't it? [02:54] marine: manual ? [02:54] oholiab: nope [02:54] mib_yp7344: whats the difference btw ubuntu an xubuntu [02:54] ubuntu = gnome, xubuntu = xfce [02:54] tritium: fair enough, learn something new every day :) [02:54] nightrid3r, it gives you several options one do explore without adding anything to your pc the other is check memory one is the actual install and the other is i forget LOL [02:55] oholiab: it's useful for showing you what additional packages will be installed due to dependencies, but it doesn't check anything over the network [02:55] Marfi: do you want to install [02:55] Tidus: what does the mean for the end user [02:55] tritium: yeah, I've done it for dependencies efore ut never to check whether the package will actually download [02:56] marine: do you want to install [02:56] tsuna27: they're both easy enough to use and configure. just depends on how much resources you wish to have used by the system, as xubuntu has slightly lower system requirements [02:56] is there a video compression program for ubuntu? [02:57] Need more help with my friends wireless network [02:57] Tidus then why would any1 use ubuntu if xubuntu can run better on older systems [02:57] !mencoder [02:57] no i have ubuntu installed already i want to use the unallocated partition i made with gparted the other day i couldn't do it because i'm in the system now [02:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about mencoder [02:57] bluelightningvid check out mencoder [02:57] luke_ what is wrong? [02:57] !wireless [02:57] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:57] tsuna27: that's almost like using why use linux when windows is already installed... === ohness is now known as n8tuser2 [02:57] tsuna27: not everyone has older systems, for one thing. Some people prefer gnome to xfce, for another, and *many* other reasons. [02:57] marine: use try out [02:57] tsuna27: some people prefer the feature set of gnome, some want more minimal [02:58] linux is all about choice [02:58] Well he went into Terminal like the other guy said, and came up with this [02:58] 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [02:58] nightrid3r, no i have ubuntu installed already i want to use the unallocated partition i made with gparted the other day i couldn't do it because i'm in the system now [02:58] bluelightningvid: ffmpeg [02:58] So what does he do to get his wireless internet connected? [02:58] marine: use the first option [02:58] luke_ sudo lshw -C network which driver is it using (look near the bottom last 3 lines of the output) [02:59] nightrid3r, ut that isn't adding or hanging anything the my system in other words it's a demo version [02:59] luke_ sudo iwconfig make sure a device has wireless extentions. sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURAPNAME sudo dhclient wlan0 (if you have WEP or WPA you need to also use iwconfig to set those parameters) [02:59] after you iwconfig and set the essid you can issue sudo iwconfig again and if the access point on the 2nd line shows a MAC address then you are good. [02:59] marine: yes so you kan use gparted to work on your disks [02:59] that means you are associated. if not then likely your driver is bunk and you will need to get a new one... [03:00] 2 good links for wireless: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578 and http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers (2nd one is preferred choice if you use ath9k driver) [03:00] I'm having a problem with switching users, i get a black screen sometimes [03:00] nightrid3r, that's fine but when i made the unallocated part i had 60 gigs empty when i used the demo version for some reason 1.37 gigs had been used up [03:00] nblracer - CTRL ALT BCKSPC [03:01] The monitor ios on and not in stanby [03:01] liquid: is mencoder in the applications menu? or the package manager for you [03:01] so can xubuntu do everything ubuntu can [03:01] X is running [03:01] mindrape: i tried [03:01] tsuna27: yes [03:01] marine, 5% of a ext3/2 is reserved by default on any filesystem.. that is changeable with the 'tune2fs' command [03:01] nightrid3r, is that what it added when temparirly installing itself unto my desktop [03:01] tsuna27: they are the same except for the window manager/window environment. [03:01] marine: some programs use 1000M for a GB instead of 1024 [03:01] did not work, i can her the signle noise of X restarting but still a black screen [03:01] tsuna27 - if you install ubuntu then install xfce you basically are running xfce... they pull from the same repositories... [03:02] nblracer - CTRL ALT F2 and login then cd /etc/init.d then sudo service gdm restart then ALT F7 to get back to X [03:02] Is there a way to check what all recent file cut/paste operations have been? I think I just accidentally screwed something up and would like to at least know what I did... [03:02] mindrape: so I have no need 2 uninstall ubuntu [03:03] tsuna27 - if you have xubuntu you are running ubuntu w XFCE... [03:03] #join #ubuntu-co [03:03] mindrape: okay okay [03:03] bluelightningvid: --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder [03:03] mindrape: that does not sound like fix, but a work around [03:03] hey all, having some problems with hibernate on my laptop running ubuntu. It was working but then freezing a few minutes after resuming. I thought the problem might have been the fact that the swap partition was smaller than the amount of memory in the machine, so I increased its size, but now it appears to hibernate (lots of disk activity after hitting hibernate before it turns itself off) but when turning it back on it will only do a norm [03:03] al boot. The UUID of the swap partition appears to have changed when I increased its size, not sure if that's relevant. [03:03] nightrid3r, i understand that but when i check it now the full go gigs are avaiable when i used the demo version it had used 1.37 gigs of space [03:03] nblracer - well perhaps this is a one time occurence where gdm got jacked up. You can always check your X logs... [03:04] no, pres f2 type gnome-terminal press enter type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop press enter type in your password press enter tsuna27 [03:04] bluelightningvid: and also take a look at ffmpeg --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg [03:04] nblracer cd /var/log look at all the Xorg logs... more/less them. [03:04] dal_work -> then go ahead and change it to the new UUID in /etc/fstab [03:04] nblracer - also /var/log/messages may have some helpful info [03:04] marine: i have no idea what has happend then [03:04] exodus_ms: thanks [03:05] n8tuser, thats done, it wasn't using the swap partition immediately after I resized it but it is now, it still appears to write the hibernate image then doesn't look for it when I turn the machine back on [03:05] bluelightningvid: that last ffmpeg link will help with the install here is more info --> http://ffmpeg.org/ [03:06] hello there [03:06] nightrid3r, i don't want to make this difficult but i just checked with partition editor and it's smaller than i first made it [03:06] n8tuser, I seem to remember some text being displayed when it resumed from hibernate (when hibernate was sort of working) along the lines of "using resume image" or "looking for resume image, can't find it, doing normal init" - there's nothing like that now [03:06] Can I run "picasa" in Ubuntu [03:06] marine: has to do with the blocksize [03:06] !picasa [03:06] Picasa from Google can be downloaded in .deb format from: http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html [03:07] yes [03:07] thanks [03:07] tien - when you get it dpkg -i thefile.deb (that installs deb files that you get NOT via apt-get) [03:07] nightrid3r, ok so like you said just use the first option and then format to [03:07] in: "root (hd0,1)" what does it means the ",1"? [03:07] dal_work -> honestly i dont trust the hibernate mode yet in linux, not quite stable yet i believe [03:07] marine: yes [03:08] Jcapinc: if i do that my laptop will run faster? [03:08] nightrid3r, and point to the ext 3 which is my linux side [03:08] marine: yes [03:08] tsuna27 yes, XFCE is a different window manager that is lighter AKA needs less power to run smoothly [03:08] mindrape [03:09] luke_: [03:09] What exactly is my friend supposed to be looking for when he types that in [03:09] Cant cut/paste since hes not online on it ye.t.... [03:09] daniequy: read up here... http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickref/kernel/grub.html [03:09] nightrid3r, ok thsnks let me ask you a question i noticed that linux uses a lot more memory ideiling tha windows [03:10] Perhaps someone here could tell me, how does one bring up a list of the wifi signals found? [03:10] marine: can't comment on that, my last windows version was win98 [03:10] marine: it does? [03:10] emma - sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [03:10] mindrape? [03:10] nightrid3r, on windows with nothing runing in the backgrund i was using aout 178mb with linux it's aout 378mb it there something i'm missing [03:10] luke_ - - check /msg [03:11] mindrape: reading.. [03:11] how to make screenshots of dropdown menus [03:11] Nothing like that in the gui part of ubuntu? [03:11] marine, commonly used programs are loaded into RAM, even if they're not being used [03:11] emma - gksudo network-manager I believe [03:11] Print Screen [03:11] mindrape: that isn't on the new desktop without starting it from the commandline? [03:11] emma: click on the network icon in the tray [03:11] zelrikriando: click on the menu to drop down and then hit the print screen key [03:11] Does anyone know of a _good_ way to convert or edit AVCHD hidef video? [03:11] emma - ALT F2 [03:11] in the case that the memory becomes necessary, those programs are unloaded from RAM [03:11] emma: the network-manager applet should be running in your panel [03:11] ? [03:11] how do i add a printer that is directly connected to the computer with a d-printer port? (never used this sort of port; always network or USB :P ) [03:12] jrib, tritium, yes there's something there but it does not say anything. [03:12] nightrid3r, the other thing i noticed is with windows i had aout 22 programs running in the background via windows manager and here i have about 40 programs [03:12] marine: linux uses ram for buffering stuff but will clear it as needed [03:12] zopiac: d-printer? Do you mean a parallel port? [03:12] what command is he typing that you want to know how to interpret the output for? [03:12] Hey does any one else have this problem http://dpaste.com/111285/ [03:12] mrwes, i am asking because that method doesnt work [03:12] zopiac, D port? parallel centronics..?

[03:12] luke_: it will show you what mindrape has previously typed to you all [03:12] tritium, jrib ^ [03:12] no idea what starts them [03:13] zopiac: the printer dialog should walk you through it, and detect your printer [03:13] marine: linux uses small chunks of programs, in windows allot is one big program [03:13] elashish, right now with just x-caht and awn loaded it's using 435md [03:13] hello :D [03:13] zelrikriando, open up a terminal and run this. sleep 5 && gnome-screenshot # that gives you 5 seconds to setup your screenshot === chaky_ is now known as chaky [03:14] emma: does the command line given to you before return more information? [03:14] what would cause my Wireless connection so be REALLY slow? [03:14] Hey everyone I am doing an internal SCP transfer over lan, normally it goes about 11mb/s but now only 2 mb/s any idea how I can find out the cause of this ? [03:14] let's see [03:14] When I play Flash audio on the web, it causes Miro to no longer be able to play audio. Does anyone know why that might be happening? [03:14] nightrid3r, right now with just x-caht and awn loaded it's using 435md [03:14] Can I use "mozilla thunderbird mail client in Ubuntu [03:14] brunner: what ubuntu version? [03:14] 8.10 [03:15] tien, sure [03:15] tien, yes.. sudo apt-get install thunderbird [03:15] marine: as i said before i cant realy comment on memory usage [03:15] jrib, mindrape, says: wlan0 interface does not support scanning. [03:15] unop, where ca i download it ? [03:15] tien - pull up Synaptic package manager... [03:15] jrib: 8.04 [03:15] emma - sudo iwconfig... what is the name of your wireless interface? [03:15] tien, system>Admin>synaptic package managerr [03:15] tien, it's available from ubuntu's repositories [03:16] tien: sudo aptitude install mozilla-thunderbird [03:16] mindrape: is that 'wifi0' ? [03:16] I just upgraded to 64-bit Flash from Adobe's website, and that's when the audio issues started. Flash and Miro won't work at the same time. Once one starts playing, it disables the other. [03:16] so I'm trying to update my ATI drivers, is this a good guide? http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Nvidia-and-ATI-video-drivers-on-Ubuntu-Edgy-44388.shtml [03:16] tien: or sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird [03:16] !thunderbird > unop [03:16] unop, please see my private message [03:16] brunner: it will probably "just work" in 8.10 [03:16] nightrid3r, ok brother ut let me point something out i just checked and there is 41 programs loaded in my system monotor's screen [03:17] jrib: why's that? [03:17] I made it as far as "sudo aticonfig -initial" and it told me there's no config file [03:17] emma - most likely... sudo iwlist wifi0 scan [03:17] brunner: there were issues with flash and pulse in 8.04 [03:17] elashish, and most of them are sleeping ut still using ny ram [03:17] mindrape, jrib doing sudo iwconfig actually is showing the ESSID I expected to see in a list of potential ESSIDs === bobby is now known as odium1 [03:17] jrib: I see. How do I force a distro upgrade without using the command line? [03:17] !upgrade | brunner [03:17] marine: every peace of functionality is a program in linux [03:17] brunner: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:18] marine, if your system is out of RAM, then the machine will start using swap - as long as swap is empty, you have enough memory available [03:18] nightrid3r, i have 4 gigs so it's not a big deal [03:18] mindrape: that did it. You are quite good. [03:18] how do i reset my password or see it? [03:18] marine, unused memory is wasted memory. Linux caches lots of stuff in unused memory to make things go faster [03:18] emma- thats what all the girls say... [03:18] what's the easiest way to update my ati video drivers? I'm trying this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Nvidia-and-ATI-video-drivers-on-Ubuntu-Edgy-44388.shtml but its not working [03:18] mindrape: :P [03:18] please and thanks =D [03:18] <[biabia]> the ubuntu disk has a nice feature to install or run live on a computer thatwont let you boot from cd, but the library has deepfreeze or something preventing it. is there a way around that [03:18] what would cause an almost 1second ping? [03:18] what would cause an almost 1second ping? [03:18] <[biabia]> lag [03:18] mindrape: I'm surprised that there is no gui app by default on the desktop for doing that though. [03:19] spaw1 - crack your /etc/shadow file or login to single user mode (root) and passwd YOURUSER [03:19] jeeves_Moss about 500ms of latency both ways [03:19] spaw1, you can't view your password. [03:19] [biabia]: ask the system administrator [03:19] emma - there should be... network-manager pops up on my laptop install (I turned it off on my desktop though) [03:19] seems like there should be a way to see what 'hotspots' are available, if you are walking around with your laptop. [03:19] we will not help you break security systems [03:19] Nomexous, i was just comparing windows memory usage to linux [03:19] mindrape: network-manager does have an icon in my system tray but it seems to have no content in it. [03:19] emma - System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> add network-manager to your startup list [03:20] liquid, thanks professor. I know that. I've been having issues since the last update about a week ago. even local on my LAN @ home, we're not doing much better than 200K/sec [03:20] emma -> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [03:20] maybe its not network-manager... lemme see if I can find it. [03:20] mindrape: everything is greyed out except for VPN Connections > [03:20] nightrid3r, i know windows need swap as linux does not and hasn't used any on my linux side yet [03:20] marine: Determining memory usage in Linux is kinda tricky. You might want to google it to see for yourself. [03:20] emma - if you right-click on it you may have to choose Enable networking [03:20] mindrape, emma: nmapplet shows it for me, but it should be displaying them by default if the card works [03:20] nmapplet... that is it!!!!! [03:20] I have ubuntu x64 [03:20] marine: I wouldn't worry about the fact that it seems like Linux is using a lot more memory than Windows. [03:21] jeeves_Moss What module does your nic use? [03:21] USB Keyboard and Mouse not working on my "Ubuntu 8.10 - the Intrepid Ibex"? [03:21] I have ubuntu x64 and i can't view youtube or any thing [03:21] marine: I hardly doubut it's the case. [03:21] jeeves_Moss can you test from another machine (possibly running windows)? [03:21] bravo7: you need to install flash [03:21] bravo7, flash plugins installed for FF/Opera? [03:21] liquid, it's an Intel card. [03:21] so i booted a laptop running vista with the ubuntu CD and installed ubuntu onto a flashdrive, now that's where GRUB is installed and the flash drive is required to boot [03:22] Nomexous, that's fine cause right now it says it's using 11.4% of 3.7 gigs and no swap [03:22] !grub | cactus__ [03:22] cactus__: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:22] elashish, everyone else on the network seems to have normal speed, and last time I checked, the wired Intel NIC is fine as well [03:22] jeeves_Moss How long has it done this? [03:22] what's the easiest way to update my ati video drivers? I'm trying this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Nvidia-and-ATI-video-drivers-on-Ubuntu-Edgy-44388.shtml but its not working. Please and thanks =D [03:22] USB Keyboard and Mouse not working on my "Ubuntu 8.10 - the Intrepid Ibex", please help. [03:22] liquid, about a week (it started shortly after an update) [03:22] plytheman for ff [03:22] Its_me: plug them in and using your ps2 keyboard (you have one, right?) type lsusb [03:22] i have the nmapplet showing up in the gnome panel at the top. And networking and wireless are both enabled - indeed, the laptop is on the internet right now -- but what is funny to me is that there is no list of 'available networks' in this gui. [03:22] i need some one on one help with make && install [03:22] jeeves_Moss can you revert to the state before the update [03:23] without a list of available networks it might be hard, when roaming with the laptop to know what to get on to. [03:23] emma: what ubuntu version? [03:23] Yes [03:23] emma - it shows them for me... if you walk around, based on the beacon timing of each router, it will update. [03:23] plytheman ff [03:23] jrib: 8.10 [03:23] mindrape, might also be a bios setting for Its_me [03:23] jeeves_Moss Do you know what update(s) you installed? [03:23] nightrid3r, windows is not even close to comparisom that's why i swtich [03:23] mindrape: What do you click on to get the list of avaliable networks? [03:23] so i should tell grub that I want it to be on my HD? [03:23] elashish, I think I tired that. This has been a longer standing install and has had 2 dist-upgrades, so I think I should blow it away and start fresh. This is my road warrier laptop [03:23] emma -> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan <-- is this overly difficult to type in your terminal to see hotspots around you? [03:23] Its working correctly on my another OS, even in OS choice menu. [03:24] emma - ask jrib... I dont use that except on my laptop which I barely bootup anymore. [03:24] mindrape: ditto [03:24] jeeves_Moss i would test from a boot disc first [03:24] nightrid3r, just want my machine to be in perfect health [03:24] bravo7: check http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/110894-how-install-flash-player-firefox-ubuntu.html [03:24] Its_me: did you upgrade from 8.04 [03:24] emma: you can left clcik on nm-applet, and it should show networks you wireless device can see [03:24] Its_me - check dmesg for errors... ? [03:24] n8tuser2: well i did that earlier and it says it does not support that, however, doing: "sudo iwlist wifi0 scan" does give me a list of available networks in the command line. [03:24] plytheman for 64? [03:24] No fresh install [03:25] elashish, yea, I'll do that when I get home. I think I've still got the orignal disks I ordered somewhere around the house. [03:25] elashish, all I know is that the network install of Ubuntu (the mini disk) is a life saver on old/odd ball systems [03:25] plytheman sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? [03:25] bravo7: not sure, I'm still pretty new to buntu myself, but that should work [03:25] emma -> replace wlan0 with your wireless nic name perhaps ath0 [03:25] nightrid3r, still with us [03:25] jeeves_Moss agreed, and if the latest version doesn't work, i would revert back to LTS [03:25] mindrape: but I am using same Keyboard in PS/2 mode. [03:25] plytheman i think i got it [03:25] n8tuser2: Huh? [03:26] sweet deal [03:26] emma - I think I might know the problem... if you got your wireless device working via sudo iwconfig you may need to sudo ifconfig wifi0 down then re-enable it via nm-applet so it "has control" [03:26] elashish, is 9.0 out yet? [03:26] jeeves_Moss it's in alpha, you can try it but it's not recommended - it won't be out until april [03:26] elashish, I'm wondering if it'll fix my nVidia GO issue and actully let me run 3D stuff without locking up my system every 3 mins [03:26] What does pci=nomsi mean in the kernel line? what does it do? [03:26] jeeves_Moss i doubt it, nVidia is nVidia :-( [03:27] emma -> wireless nic names varies, it could have been wllan0, ath0, anyname0, eth1 [03:27] mindrape: my guess is that the same reason "sudo iwlist wifi0 scan" works and "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" does not, is the same reason that there is no list of available networks showing up in the nm-applet. Maybe there is some way to tell nm-applet to scan using wifi0 too. [03:27] what is ubuntu hug day? [03:27] emma - maybe so... perhaps you can pass it parameters when you launch it? man nm-applet ? [03:27] Its_me: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE [03:27] mindrape: I mean shall I connect my USB mouse first and then check for errors? because I am using same keyboard and I need it to type commands. [03:27] Can someone help me with updating my ati drivers? [03:28] yes Its_me :) [03:28] EagleScreen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/ everyone works on bugs together and hugs each other :) [03:28] elashish, well, I installed the restricted drivers, and as the system runs, the "freezing" gets worse and worse. I blame it on nVidia and Toshiba. This "bastard child" they created has keept me close to going insane! [03:28] !ati [03:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:28] !grub [03:28] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:28] ubottu: thanks, checking now [03:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:28] jrib I said Hug day [03:28] jeeves_Moss can you run 'lspci -k' and tell me what module your nic uses? [03:28] exodus_ms: Thanks, I will be back in a while. [03:28] n8tuser2: Where does one make that replacement? [03:28] EagleScreen: yes, I read that. You didn't read my link though :) [03:29] emma -> can be done via udev rules [03:29] mindrape: Thanks, I will be back in a while. [03:29] liquid, one sec please. I'm setting up a hosting account for a client [03:29] then bith are the same? [03:29] jeeves_Moss what to do, maybe replace the video card with something cheap? [03:29] k [03:29] and guaranteed to work... [03:29] have fun with that, we use cPanel where I work and I loathe it [03:29] Its_me: that will just spit out a bunch of stuff look for is EE [03:29] elashish, I'd love to, but this laptop has it "on board" [03:29] shame... [03:30] EagleScreen: from the wiki: "The term HugDay is a spin on BugDay but every time someone triages a bug, then someone else should hug him/her" [03:30] liquid, lspci -k dosen't work. invalid switch [03:30] ?? [03:30] jeeves_Moss: you are using ubuntu, right?!? [03:30] thnaks [03:30] mindrape, yes [03:30] mindrape That;s what I first thought... [03:30] Can I get MS silverlight and photosynth to work on ubuntu? [03:30] -k is a valid switch... [03:31] workingchair -> stay in windows if you want to use those tools [03:31] workingchair: possibly w wine... www.winehq.org and check compatability level in the appdb [03:31] workingchair: silverlight for sure. I don't know what photosynth is [03:31] mindrape, I'm getting an error that's telling me it's invalid [03:31] workingchair: the linux one for silverlight is moonlight [03:31] make sure he type lspci correctly [03:31] workingchair Silverlight 1 is implemeted via mono, Silverlight 2 (like netflix uses) mono doesn't support yet [03:31] well it'd probably say command not found if he did that. [03:31] workingchair: though it can only do with the stable Silverlight 1.1 [03:31] workingchair: I used moonlight today [03:32] anyone ever sync a Palm with Ubuntu? [03:32] I can sync everything but Evolution [03:32] personally, if I want to use windows tools I rev up WinXP via VMWare... like n8tuser2 said, if you wanna use Windows tools then use Windows... [03:32] !palm [03:32] A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB [03:32] Fezzler, good luck! it works a lot better than syncing to a windows mobile device [03:32] Well I'm mainly just wanting to see the CNN 3D Photosynth of the inauguration. I'll just check it out on my windows box... [03:32] workingchair: this is the moonlight page- http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight [03:32] thanks [03:32] jeeves_Moss What shell are you using? [03:33] working unless it is in 2.0 standards [03:33] liquid, I think it's the default. I know I haven't changed it [03:33] k [03:33] workingchair: Though there is a beta of 2 out there and you may have to compile that can view Silverlight 2.0 content [03:33] um i installed ubuntu onto a flash drive, but it installed grub there, now i think I want to install grub onto my main HD partition, but I'm confused about how to do that [03:33] jeeves_Moss Sorry man, I think you may have some deeper options. lspci has had the k switch since... well... like forever :) [03:34] i need help with making and installing some drivers [03:34] Hi, using gparted, how can I move a ntfs partition out of an extended partion? [03:34] jeeves_Moss options => problems [03:34] liquid, ok, one sec, I'll try it on my Ubuntu server [03:34] jeeves_Moss ok [03:34] !moonlight [03:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about moonlight [03:35] liquid, http://pastebin.ca/1314246 [03:35] liquid, there ya go! [03:35] Why does my updater want me to remove Miro? [03:35] spaw1 - sudo modprobe drivername [03:35] i have to make it and the read me file is really confusing [03:36] spaw1 - did you sudo apt-get install build-essential ? [03:36] jeeves_Moss Yeah, that's what it says [03:36] nope this is a fresh install [03:36] jeeves_Moss: Have you ever sync'd a Palm? [03:36] if so then ./configure sudo make sudo make install from the path where the files were extracted to. [03:36] Fezzler, nope, sorry [03:36] drop the sudo actually from the makes... [03:36] liquid, see, I'm not lying! [03:36] jeeves_Moss You know this is a stretch, but is it possible your machine has been rootkit'd ? [03:36] or add it to sudo ./configure. :P [03:37] liquid, both systems? [03:37] jeeves_Moss I know for a fact your system binaries have been modified or redirected, but I can't tell you why [03:37] spaw1 - usually if its a driver you need to sudo though... and in the event it fails and you wanna get rid of it then sudo make uninstall them remove the directories... [03:37] jeeves_Moss Ask anyone else in this chat to run 'lspci -k' [03:37] liquid, that dosen't make any sense though. BOTH systems? my laptop AND the server? [03:37] jeeves_Moss I'm not just jacking with you - that is a valid switch [03:37] I did, it worked [03:38] jeeves_Moss: lspci --version [03:38] liquid, I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just saying it's strange that I've got 2 differen't systems on each side of the country, and they're both pulling the same crap [03:38] jeeves_Moss: man lspci [03:38] jeeves_Moss Sorry man, you might want to play wack-a-mole with you staff, you might uncover some espionage [03:38] mindrape, 2.2.4 [03:38] lol [03:38] well mine is 3.0.0 [03:38] maybe 2.2.4 is ancient and -k is something else? [03:38] my system said gave me a message saying the defaults for my power manager might have not been installed correctly........there a way to fix this? [03:39] liquid, lol, if I play that, then the lead shot filled bomb bat is coming in from the Jag, and it's not going to look good [03:39] there a way I can get this fixed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/107414/ [03:39] mindrape I have been using -k since at least fc5... [03:39] fc5... I just barfed a bit in my mouth. [03:39] mindrape, it's the same version on the laptop and the server [03:39] jeeves_Moss lol. [03:39] mindrape: I typed dmesg command after connecting USB Mouse and it displayed a very long message, how shall I show you the message? [03:39] Its-me - pastebin.com [03:39] jeeves_Moss Well, you def. aren't using the standard binaries that come with any contemporary release of Ubuntu. [03:40] liquid, my staff are like cockroaches when I'm in a bad mood [03:40] jeeves_Moss: lsb_release -a [03:40] ?? [03:40] type that [03:40] mindrape, 8.04.2 [03:41] does it do anything if i install direct x [03:41] mindrape : this is what i got i dont think it made it right http://pastebin.com/m3fa703dc [03:41] I'm new to this but I didn't see a -k option --> https://www.cs.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/manServer.pl/lspci.8 [03:41] mindrape: Here is the link of my message "http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d68b45f62" [03:41] Any ideas on moving an ntfs partition from inside an extended partition to "next to" the extended partition? [03:41] is there something like disk defrag for linux? [03:42] joejc: that is a question-- you should ask in #winehq -- should be able to tell you more in that room [03:42] !defrag | jedi06 [03:42] jedi06: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [03:42] !gparted | pc_nerd [03:42] pc_nerd: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [03:42] joejc: if you want to install direct x-- you should need wine and probably winetricks as well as a valid MS liscence [03:42] <_Vi_> jedi06: usually defragging in linux isnt necessary, [03:43] joejc: I would probably ask that kind of info about direct x in room #winehq [03:43] im using gparted, but I cant seem to find any way to actuall move the partition outside of its extended "parent".... it seems it only creates resizes and moves within the current position (ie move it around inside the extended, but not move it out of) ? [03:43] jedi06 You really don't want to - you have to mount your disk in ext2 and run tools in single mode - I wouldn't even think about doing that unless you are certain your disk is really fragmented [03:43] spaw1 - sudo apt-get install autoconf [03:43] mindrape, any ideas on how to force an upgrade of lspci? [03:44] jeeves_Moss - you can download a .deb of it and dpkg -i it [03:44] mindrape, touche [03:44] or update your repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and sudo apt-get update [03:44] exodus_ms: Here is the link of my message "http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d68b45f62" after connecting USB Mouse. [03:44] or maybe yell at your cockroach staff to figure it out? [03:44] Hi all. [03:44] mindrape I want to know what else has been done to the machine - I wold said if basic binaries are different, than the networking issue is the tip of the iceberg [03:45] For some reason I can't open Firefox, I get the error that says: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I know this usually happens right after you close Firefox and try to reopen it, however I did not have Firefox open before this happened. I'm using Intrepid. [03:45] Hey guys, I'm having a B of a time getting ubuntu to embed the terminal into the desktop, would somebody please help me? [03:45] mindrape: Here is the link of my message "http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d68b45f62" [03:45] Mike_92: try opening -- system then system manager [03:45] Its-me: see this link... http://www.mepis.org/node/5860 [03:46] Mike_92: I mean System- then Administration then System Monitor and look for firefox there and kill the process [03:46] Mike_92: i'd do ps -A then kill [firefox psid] [03:46] I there, hmm someone know what Experienced Non Manager means, when job hunting? [03:46] Its-me - I imagine the echo N > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first would fix it for you... [03:46] mindrape : installed the auto config and still got the same error [03:46] spaw1 - lemme look again... hold. [03:46] arnaldocapo, it means you'll be someone's bitch!

I have a GeForce 7950gx2 running on a 26" BEKO HDTV (BEKO-VJAZ1) using the recommended nvidia accellerated 177 driver. If I set it to 1360x768 then... [03:50] @mindrape, you know when you have the terminal in front of your wallpaper, but behind apps, and it's transparent [03:50] ...it fits vertically but is far too wide, even if I reduce the clock on my monitor as low as it'll go. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. [03:51] Can anyone help me?

Debian is at leas AS stable and fast; I just don't see a compelling enough reason to use it instead. Would be comfortable doing so of course though. [04:24] does it usually make a difference?

[04:28] rebel_gui - why do you wanna kill it? [04:28] jeeves__ Well, if I had time and total control over the machine, I would probably just use webmin and write some scripts to add/disable/remove customers...

[04:30] liquid, and virtualmin I think is the one I was looking @ [04:31] Wicked: in 2.1 you just select Host networking in the vb settings and it works through magic [04:31] jeeves__ Yeah, virtualmin is the package for multi-site hosting [04:31] jeeves__ I couldn't remember the name off the top of my head [04:31] liquid webmin is opensource, correct? [04:31] jeeves__ Correct. [04:31] mindrape, because it is unresponsive, once in a blue moon it locks up entirely, i can kill the processes running on it and its still stuck there, i would like to reload it [04:31] usser, as nice as that sounds....it sounds flakey..... [04:31] yes it is ziggles1 [04:31] liquid, what do you like about it? [04:31] liquid, well, that's the general idea. I have one sever in Toronto, and I'll put one up here in Vancouver [04:31] jeeves__ Ubuntu server manages it in the packages, so it's easy to get started [04:32] liquid, true.

[04:44] miranda_psi: Gentoo is good for learning the inner workings of linux and learning how to customize everything [04:45] you have to compile a kernel yourself in the install [04:45] igogo Yeah... ubuntu/debian is far better (IMO) [04:45] digitalj: thats what I meant - the ideal system to hack it into what you want... :) [04:45] but as painful as hell [04:45] yeah it takes a loooong time to finish an install [04:46] but its soooooo fast when you do get it up and running [04:46] could anyone explain how i uninstall something i've installed from source, using make install ? [04:46] digitalj Until you start trying to emerge things in life because you have to type it so often ;) [04:46] if you want to get into the nitty gritty of linux then go for linux from scratch (LFS) , gentoo, or slackware... they will force you to manually configure things. /offtopic [04:46] un_dave: you could go back to that folder and choose sudo make unistall [04:46] un_dave ./configure make make install you need to apt-get install build-essentials and kernel-headers and libc-dev I believe. [04:47] redvamp128: i think i'll try that [04:47] un_dave err.. didn't read what you wrote... yeah.. make uninstall :) [04:47] gentoo provides genkernel to compile kernel [04:47] mindrape: he said it was already installed-- so the same folder where he compiled should have the unistall info [04:47] yeah thats true [04:48] genkernel is nice [04:48] redvamp128, mindrape: cool. it seems to have uninstalled. now to install the proper way with apt-get :) [04:48] what is the program un_dave ?

[04:49] iceweasel [04:49] instead of firefox [04:50] I can't read all messages clearly. [04:50] un_dave you could have looked in synaptic in your system under synaptic package manager [04:51] liquid - have you tried sudo apt-get install cowsay cowsay YAY! [04:51] hello people i just lost my whole harddrive right now i am using the live cd on my system and have ordered a new harddrive to reinstall ubuntu, my question is , is there a way to safely move my data off the old damaged harddrive?, it seems grub and the partition tables are damaged so mounting the harddrive in the live cd or booting into it didn't work [04:51] !cowsay [04:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about cowsay [04:51] mindrape No, I'm totally going to do that now :) [04:51] redvamp128: to install it ? or uninstall it? it wasnt there, because i didnt install it from a package, it was made from the source. [04:51] redvamp128 - it just draws a cow w a dialog box above it and it will say YAY! :P [04:51] you can tell it to say whatever you want and it takes some parameters to configure how the cow looks. [04:52] that sounds about like Hotbabe on mediabuntu [04:52] lol [04:52] LOL niiiiiice [04:52] I love it! [04:52] you can get cowfiles or various pics... tux, women, etc [04:52] liquid, hummmm, this is strange, there's only one domain that's being a pain (the other new one didn't have the config file made yet, hence why it was erroring [04:52] mindrape: though that one as your cpu gets under load her clothes disapear [04:52] oh my.

[05:38] 4 extended, and in one of those you can have 4 logical...

Neither does it want to be removed [05:38] myke: Sorry, I've not actually tried to remove Firefox. What is the reason you want to be rid of it? [05:38] what can I do? [05:39] bling4mm: for zip there is archives manager. [05:39] in ubuntu [05:39] i just want a clean system and i dont want it in my menus, opera seems to be a much better browser oddly on ubuntu [05:40] So file roller extracts both zip and rar, AND functions as HJ split? [05:40] PC_Nerd: what partitions do you have currently, and what type (logical/extend) are they? [05:40] I put my error info for the moblock update on pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com/107603/ [05:41] Anybody: running a 32 bit program on a 64 bit machine? [05:41] specifically, SDL? [05:41] help? [05:41] it's very quiet in here, I put out my question and no one is biting either [05:41] vduck: sda1 (ntfs windoze), sda3 (extended)-> sda5(ntfs data) im currently in the proccess of removing partitions which is why sda2 and others are missing atm. Im attempting to make: sda1(windoze), sda2(ntfs data), so that ntfs3 can be extended with ubuntu in it. [05:41] Yah [05:42] wow Pidgin crashed [05:42] Amarok won't play [05:42] !doesntwork | CostaRicanQuaker [05:42] can someone help me fix this, i just clicked on an mp3 and it doesnt...do anyhting it gets stuck [05:42] CostaRicanQuaker: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [05:42] I have two gnome panels, both are NOT set to expand (which is what I'd like), but where would I look to make the caps transparent? (yes, I have show 'hide buttons' unchecked) (see http://drop.io/n8qxpqj for screenshot) [05:42] vduck, I currently have a 30gb unallocated section outside of the extended partition, so im copying sda5 to there, so that I have 2 partitions outside of extended which is how I want it... waiting for it to copy (all 29 GB of it ) - so itll be a while [05:43] myke: does Opera work across most OS's? I'm mainly looking for as little limitation as possible. [05:43] "fdisk -l" shows /dev/sdc1, but there is no sdc1 showing up in "/dev" (only "sdc") .. any ideas? [05:43] can anyone help with my issue with Moblock? Again, my error info is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/107603/ [05:43] ok, i have a folder, within the folder, i have mp3 files, i click on one, then amarok pops up, and nothing happens no travel from the wee progress abr and no sound either [05:43] opera works perfect on every os ive tried it on .. it really has grown as a browser.. [05:43] which is odd as youtube is playing and it has sound [05:43] cool [05:44] PC_Nerd: so you've got it to do what you want? The copying will take a while... [05:44] yup .. biggest reason i switched is for some reason firefox wouldnt show all the tabs on my schools homework server, but opera will [05:44] Is there any tutorial for setting up *ubuntu so I can SSH into it? (Assume I know fully how to take care of everything on the router's side) [05:44] jds [05:44] hello [05:44] that being said i don't know what it might be [05:44] myke: I haven't had any problems with Firefox yet [05:44] i need help with vnc [05:44] vduck: yah [05:45] but i know this to be true: it should work, and it doesn't [05:45] sorry, what's the "auto complete a chatter's handle" . . how do you do that? [05:45] myke: Sorry I couldn't help [05:45] Ketrel, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [05:45] dunno [05:45] then: ssh -l [05:45] ok i tried with vlc, there is travel on the progress bar but htere's no sound === courpse__ is now known as CoUrPsE|DeAd [05:46] jdsbluedevl, sorry dude. I don't even know what a moblock is.... what is it? [05:46] CoUrPsE|DeAd: what about starting and stopping it? [05:46] everything seems to be fine on the sound control part of things [05:46] moblock is the Linux equivalent of PeerGuardian [05:46] Ketrel, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [05:46] Ketrel, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [05:47] so i can't see why i can't play sound files on the media players [05:47] Hello Ubuntu expert: I want to use VPN client (cisco)...does Ubuntu bundled this pkg or I have to serach from internet ? Your help is great appreciated. [05:47] vduck, letter or two + tab [05:47] tien: install vpnc [05:47] tien: and network-manager-vpnc [05:48] bling, where should i install vpnc ? I am new Ubuntu user....

[05:49] vduck, well I dont know if its what I want as a final product - but copying out of the extended, will be a sure start. Ill then have to check the data went across safely, then Ill remove the extended, merge the unallocated space, and install ubuntu ( I kind of screwed up my previous install ) so yeah Thanks! [05:49] CostaRicanQuaker: Try a different format (not mp3) [05:49] bling, thanks...I'll look for it. [05:50] Flannel: how do you mean? they should play mp3s [05:50] CostaRicanQuaker: Right. But try another format to see if its an issue with the player itself, or something having to do with codecs. [05:50] could someone assist me setup a vpn in 8.10. it wont connect. [05:50] Ketrel, nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change port 22 to port [05:51] Ketrel, Then restart the ssh server using: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [05:51] just clicked on a wma and it won't play either... [05:51] audacious that is won't play it [05:52] !skype [05:52] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [05:52] CostaRicanQuaker: Try something with a free format. Try an ogg Vorbis (.oga) [05:52] CostaRicanQuaker, Does the progress bar move in the mp3 player? [05:52] nope [05:52] mp4? [05:52] is there a log for the vpn connections? [05:53] CostaRicanQuaker, Try shutting down any applications that use sound, eg skype and stuff liek that. [05:53] Then playing ya song again. [05:53] i have youtube going [05:53] * CostaRicanQuaker closes firefox === ein_ is now known as pria_ok [05:53] ok well now the wma i clicked on before [05:54] is playing [05:54] * CoUrPsE|DeAd nods.

[05:54] CostaRicanQuaker: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:54] and music playing [05:54] at the same time [05:54] CostaRicanQuaker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] bling, I updated most of the applciations 1 hr ago, but could not find the vpnc....could you help [05:54] CostaRicanQuaker: You can have firefox, you can't have flash (or maybe just youtube) [05:54] CostaRicanQuaker, as long as your music player is open first, you can pause your music player, use sound device or other things, and then unpause when ready. [05:54] CoUrPsE|DeAd: does it have to be nano, or will emacs do [05:55] Ketrel, Any text editer will be fine. [05:55] can i have youtube playing a comedian [05:55] standup [05:55] CoUrPsE|DeAd: thanks (I was worried it was like having to use visudo) [05:55] and then have as background music something from the player? [05:55] Does anyone have any idea on how to recover passwords on an UBUNTU install if you have forgotten them? I have attempted to load a root console to reset the pass. It says its successfull but when I restart the user still will not accept the password I set [05:55] bling, are you still online ? [05:55] CostaRicanQuaker, open your player first, then gotto the website. [05:55] tien: yes [05:55] vince: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword that's the correct method [05:55] tien: patience, i type slow. ;-) [05:56] Flannel : Thanks! I'll check it out [05:56] bling, how should I find vpnc [05:56] The oss sound driver is surpose to be bette for multiple devices using sound at same time. [05:56] CoUrPsE|DeAd, the player got stuck [05:56] right after i opened firefox [05:56] tien: one sec, im looking for the repository to enable...brb [05:56] CostaRicanQuaker: it is a conflict between pulse audio and adobe's flash player see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [05:57] CostaRicanQuaker, What driver is it set to in your sound prefences? [05:57] bling....take your time....awaiting [05:57] using oss. [05:57] CoUrPsE|DeAd, how do i check that? [05:57] Flannel : I have already attempted both of those methods, Using the recovery method shows a "Password Change Successfull Message" but whenever I login and try to SUDO anything it still shows invalid Password. When I attempt to use the second method the system simply reboots and does not drop to Root Access [05:57] System/Prefemnces/sound. [05:58] EG: my settings, but may not be good for you, all except default mixter trascks ar set to 'OSS - open Sound System' [05:58] good morning guys guys whats the name of the program that make ubuntu desktop similar to mac (the downpart) [05:58] tien: okay, so go to System > Administration > Software Sources, on the tab on the left, there should be check boxes for repositories. make sure the check box for "Universe" is ticked. Then hit the reload button (next to close). [05:58] CoUrPsE|DeAd, ALSA? [05:59] Set them to OSS. [05:59] vince: Oh, so you can login fine, but you can't use sudo? Are you logged in right now?

[06:00] CostaRicanQuaker, There is no option under Sound Playback for OSS - IOpen Sound System [06:00] vince: Alright, try hitting ctrl-alt-f2 (you'll get a console) and try to log in there. (ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back to the GUI) [06:00] <_Vi_> tv7497: theres another called Cairo [06:00] tien: no prob [06:00] CoUrPsE|DeAd, so what do i do now? i changed all of those to oss [06:00] hello everyone :) [06:01] <_Vi_> tv7497: np :) [06:01] _Vi_: okie sir cario , avant will google those thanks :) [06:01] CostaRicanQuaker, Click close, then reboot music player. [06:01] <_Vi_> tv7497: avant is in the repos [06:01] I m using ubuntu 8.10 and everything is fine except there is no sound in Flash video ?? [06:01] anyone know y [06:01] Flannel : Ok once I am there what do I do? I have no issues getting to concole the problum is when I change the password it SAYS its successfull but does not appear to work. IE I cannot get SUDO access in order to run Synaptic or other programs requiring the permissions [06:02] you sure it's a flash issue? [06:02] yes mood [06:02] coz VLC is fine [06:02] sound is fine [06:02] what browser are you using? [06:02] vince: Can you log in to the terminal? [06:02] Mozilla Firefox [06:02] using ROOT yes. I have no tried it from console under my User Name [06:02] and you downloaded the latest flash/shockwave plugins? [06:02] yes [06:02] Flash 10 [06:02] phpstar: as far as i know they have fixed that thing when other program is running which uses your alsa flash sound didnt work for me in hardy its fine with ibex [06:03] vince: I don't care about root. I want you to hit ctrl-alt-f2 and see if you can log in to your user there. [06:03] hmmmm it was fine for me in Hardy but not in ebix [06:03] CoUrPsE|DeAd, now youtube has no sound [06:03] CostaRicanQuaker, Does the music player? [06:03] Flannel : Yes I can [06:04] yes since i opened it first as yout old me [06:04] but when i opened firefox afterwards [06:04] CostaRicanQuaker, Pause your music player, and play something on utube. [06:04] youtube had no sound [06:04] bling, I do see the "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (mutilverse) is checked, but not seeing "repositories".... [06:04] phpstar: can you try a standalone flash player? [06:04] vince: alright, then the problem has nothing to do with your password. Type "groups" (you can go back to your GUI now), what is the output of that command? [06:04] CoUrPsE|DeAd, doesn't work, i even switched video [06:04] how mood ?? [06:05] tien: you want to make sure that the "universe" is checked, is it? [06:05] Flannel : [06:05] err lets try that agian [06:05] okies, thats weird, Set back to also then, and live with it. [06:05] phpstar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashPlayerStandalone [06:05] what? [06:05] i tried downloading from Flash site but its onli available in x86 and not in 64 bit [06:05] lol. [06:05] Flannel : vince adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin [06:05] so you can't have both youtube and the music player at once? [06:05] wait, what about the browser? [06:05] CostaRicanQuaker: it is a conflict between pulse audio and adobe's flash player see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [06:06] now the music player got stuck when i tried to unpause it [06:06] I've never tried. let me look now. [06:06] kbrosnan, so what do i do about it? [06:06] bling, I am in the main menu of "software SOurces" and under "Third Party Software...." Am I in the right path ? [06:06] CostaRicanQuaker: read the page for suggestions [06:06] phpstar: no idea mate maybe this would be helpful have a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944742 [06:06] vince: Interesting. You are a part of admin. Ok, I'm unfortunately going to need you to go back to the root console. Once there, do this: cp /etc/sudoers /home/username/Desktop/sudoers && chmod a+r /home/username/Desktop/sudoers [06:06] kbrosnan, He's now using OSS. [06:06] thx tv [06:07] vince: (where username is your username, obviously). We need to take a look at your sudoers file to see whats going on. [06:07] phpstar: np [06:07] Flannel : Ok One moment please. [06:07] kbrosnan, under known issues? [06:07] yese [06:08] CostaRicanQuaker, Youtube is working fine for me, im using OSS for everything except for default mixer. I am listening to music at the same time. [06:08] tien: you dont want third party software. you want the tab to the left. i would tell you what its called, but im on windows, and i cant remember it. its something like "main repositories" or something [06:08] If you experience problems with audio synchronization after installation, you may need to edit the file /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [06:08] Flannel: hello sir was finally able to run enlightenment but i prefer gnome rather than that [06:08] ^where is that? [06:08] CoUrPsE|DeAd: well what costa is experiencing is textbook for the the issue described in that pulse audio page [06:08] any vsftpd users know how to check for version#? [06:09] kbrosnan, Okies, Does OSS use pulseaudio ? [06:09] In previous Ubuntu releases, Flash support can be enabled in two ways: by downloading and installing a .deb from logicalnetworking.net or by building a patched version of the Flash plugin from source. (See detailed instructions below.If you experience problems with audio synchronization after installation, you may need to edit the file /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. The line referencing FIREFOX_DSP should read FIREFOX_DSP="padsp" [06:09] ^how do i do that? [06:09] Yes it does, nm. [06:09] mood just edit vsftpd.conf file [06:10] bling, on the tab left, there is "Ubuntu Software" is that right ? Then I don't see repositories at all [06:10] ughh kde or gnome i cant decide [06:10] eh? edit it? i just want to check version# [06:10] CoUrPsE|DeAd: thought pulse audio was sort of an uber wrapper that tryed to put all the different sound devices under its control [06:10] bling, or may be Ubuntu 8.10 is different than your version ? [06:10] ^kbrosnan, how do i do that? [06:11] i think its conf file also have version info [06:11] grep -i version doesn't turn up anything [06:11] do i sudo apt-get install libflashsupport first? [06:11] tien: yes, thats the right tab. its possible that it got moved around between version, though unlikely. let me see if i can get a guide to it. i assume you are on intrepid ibex? [06:11] CostaRicanQuaker: i don't know, i don't experience the issue [06:11] <_Vi_> myke: you can have both (just not running at the same time of course) 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [06:11] Flannel : Ok I have the file now do you want the output for the uncommented lines? [06:12] unless of course "vsftpd.conf.5" means verison 5. duh. thx phpstar [06:12] vince: Just patse the entire thing [06:12] !paste | vince [06:12] i mean, you're pointing out that that page has suggestions for it kbrosnan so i'm assuming that there's something to be done in it [06:12] vince: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:12] but i don't know how to do what htat page says [06:12] vi .. yeah but why have both .. im trying to have a clean efficient . good looking system .. gnome is kind of blah [06:12] <_Vi_> well then :P [06:12] kbrosnan, Yeah, seems so. [06:12] <_Vi_> myke: I like IceWM have you tried it? [06:13] oh wait, vsftpd is only at 2.0.7... [06:13] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107608/ [06:13] ok, Ive came across an annoying problem with my window sizes [06:13] icewm is nice but way to simple.. and boxy lol [06:13] often times I'll get a window which is too large to fit on my desktop [06:13] <_Vi_> well there's themes ya know [06:13] bling, then here are the box list under it: 1) Canonical-supported....2) Community maintained open source (univers)...3) Proprietary drivers .....4) Software restrcited ....(multiverse)..... [06:13] mood dude u can open sysnaptic manager and search for vsftpd :) [06:13] !pastebin [06:13] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:13] so the top of the window will "bump" up against my top taskbar but will then extend below the bottom taskbar [06:14] phpstar: yeah, vsftpd is just so streamlined that i don't think it even self documents what version it is :-p [06:14] <_Vi_> myke: just like fluxbox has like 20 themes (built in) so does Icewm :) [06:14] Frijolie, Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf for virtual resolutions on your screen device. [06:14] and therefore I cannot resize the window by draggin on the bottom right corner [06:14] is there a dock for icewm? [06:14] vince: Alright, everything looks... in order there. Ok, um, open up a terminal, and do `sudo echo "foo"` enter your password, does it give you an error? [06:14] CoUrPsE|DeAd, kbrosnan : here http://paste.ubuntu.com/107609/ [06:14] Frijolie, Is it only just out of reach ? [06:14] yo mood [06:14] I've heard of some workarounds CTRL + Left-clicking, and CTRL + Middle mouse [06:14] did u searched in synaptic manager ?? [06:15] 2.0.7 is latest version [06:15] CostaRicanQuaker, Whats the problem? [06:15] <_Vi_> myke: that I'm not sure of. I bet they do have something like it as a seperate download [06:15] CoUrPsE|DeAd: man that's hard to type...yes it's just beyond reach [06:15] phpstar: yes, i know 2.0.7 is latest and greatest. the problem is i don't know what version i have installed and running [06:15] I dont know if it's a Compiz, VirtualBox, Ubuntu, or Xorg problem [06:15] Frijolie, Type Co. [06:15] tien: make sure the "community maintained open source (universe)" is ticked and hit reload. or, if you prefer the shotgun approach ( :-) ), make sure all 5 are ticked and hit reload. [06:15] Flannel : Sorry, Please Try agian [06:15] sorry about that [06:15] Frijolie, How far out of reach is it? [06:15] then FTP with filezilla [06:15] CoUrPse: huh? [06:15] and u will know ;) [06:15] phpstar: i don't think you can :-( [06:16] CoUrPsE|DeAd, what do i do? [06:16] i'm sorry, i accidentally closed the window [06:16] i'm trying to follow the directions on that page [06:16] CoUrPse: well it's usually about an inch below my bottom taskbar [06:16] what do i have to do though...i typed that into the konsole [06:16] wow .. that downloaded quick .. i just installed and downloaded icewm in about 20 seconds lol [06:16] now what am i suposed to do [06:16] Frijolie, If you move your taskbar to the side, then move it from the bottom? [06:16] vince: Erm. And you're sure youre typing the same password that you used to log in to the console a few minutes ago? [06:16] CostaRicanQuaker, its installed. [06:16] where can i get pcap.h in ubuntu [06:17] CoUrpse: nope, tried that it's below enough where I can't get it by doing that [06:17] CostaRicanQuaker, You dont do anything else with that bit. [06:17] Flannel : Positive [06:17] CoUrPse: sometimes the CTRL + Left-clicking works [06:17] vince: Alright... for yucks... what does "groups username" (where username is you) return? [06:17] CoUrPse: and sometimes the CTRL + Middle Mouse works [06:17] can someone help me with Moblock? It won't upgrade, and when I try to remove it, it won't uninstall. My error message is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/107603/ [06:17] CoUrPsE|DeAd, so next is changing the /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. and changing the line to FIREFOX_DSP="padsp" how do i do that? [06:17] Frijolie, Okies, Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for virtual resolutions for your screen device. [06:18] CoUrPse: but neither are working now and it's extremely annoying! [06:18] CostaRicanQuaker, nano /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. [06:18] sudo nano [06:18] CostaRicanQuaker, then look for the line and change it. [06:18] Flannel : vince@Pong:~$ groups vince [06:18] vince adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin [06:18] yes sorry, sudo nano. [06:18] how do i install packages deemed "backports" ?? [06:19] im looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/bacula [06:19] bling, the "community maintained open source universe" was checked initially. Therefore I don't see the "reload" button ....Am i following your instruction correctly....Then where should I finf vpnc and launch it ? [06:19] <_Vi_> !backports [06:19] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

[06:19] CoUrPsE: whoa! I have the most simple xorg file I've ever seen [06:19] er...is there a different notepad or somethign i can open that file with CoUrPsE|DeAd ? [06:19] it seemed odd so i just closed it i didn't want mess anyhting up [06:19] zetheroo: Mount read write. But I'm reasonably sure you can't on modern iPods. [06:19] ? [06:19] CoUrPsE: only simple entries and only about three of them, but nothing about virtual resolutions..or any resolutions at all [06:20] tien: did you manage to install it? [06:20] how do i add a public key so i can download a program? i've add the ppa info to my sources.list already. [06:20] can someone help me with Moblock? My error message is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/107603/ [06:20] CostaRicanQuaker, sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. [06:20] bling, okey, when I closed it, then the reload button appears, then I clicked on it. [06:20] Frijolie, Humm... Im afraid im not sure then. [06:20] bing, how do i manage to install it ? [06:20] CoUrPsE: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107612/ [06:21] um.... CoUrPsE|DeAd it opens an empty file [06:21] anyone? [06:21] should i take that final . out of the name? sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [06:21] <_Vi_> !tab | Frijolie [06:21] Frijolie: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:21] can someone please help me with Moblock?!!!! [06:21] CostaRicanQuaker, Okies, i must of typod fiule, do sudo gedit /path/to/file [06:21] tien: it will appear in the network-manager applet. so click the applet (should be in the upper right and list networks to connect to), go to "VPN Connections" and "Configure VPN" [06:21] CostaRicanQuaker, sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [06:21] vince: well, I don't know what to tell you. Everything looks normal. [06:21] ipod with read-only filesystem here ... need to delete files ... [06:21] could be it. [06:21] _Vi_: well thanks for the tip(s), I was underware of the tab completion for IRC [06:22] <_Vi_> :) [06:22] You were underwear of it or unaware? :P [06:22] _Vi_, and now I understand what he was trying to say "type Co" [06:22] Flannel : alrighty, I think at this point im just gona have to burn another CD. I have no idea what else to do either [06:22] *lightbulb* [06:22] CoUrPsE|DeAd, still empty? what am i doing wrong [06:22] bling, is it under "system" or application ? [06:22] it looks like the name on that page [06:23] <_Vi_> that factoid doesnt help, but Frijolie basically just type Cou yep yep you got it :) [06:23] thanks guys, you were much help. VOMIT!!!!!!! [06:23] I can login to the accounts but whenever I try to access anything with SUDO rights it acts like the password is wrong [06:23] how to install pcap.h in ubuntu? [06:23] <_Vi_> I tried to update the !Tab factoid but the ops wont/didnt approve it yet :((( [06:24] CostaRicanQuaker, Is the how-to you got for 8.10 ? [06:24] tien: neither. in the toolbar (called a panel) that has Applications, Places, and System, on the right side of the _panel_ there are a few buttons/icons/applets. thats what you want. [06:24] CoUrPsE|DeAd, i pasted waht you told me...but i still can't seem to get anything btu the empty file [06:24] heheheehehhe [06:24] there just ain't pleasing anyone, even with free, altruistic help :-p [06:24] CoUrPsE|DeAd, any idea what could be causing it other than Xorg? Compiz, VirtualBox..? [06:24] http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/linuxvideoconverter [06:24] mood did u find version number yet ?? [06:25] how do you install postgres 8.3 in ubuntu? is it just apt-get install postgres-8.3 or do i need other things? [06:25] CoUrPsE|DeAd, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [06:25] Frijolie, Sorry, i dont, :( I'm having a google. [06:25] <_Vi_> dont forget 'sudo' homeskillet [06:25] nope. i figure it's just rule of thumb to use synaptic to update to the latest and greatest. god forbid i have to downgrade [06:25] thanks [06:25] if u open synaptic maanger and click on installed menu then it will show [06:25] sudo apt-get purge Gee Dubya; sudo apt-get install Barack Obama [06:26] is this an Easter Egg? [06:26] it is showing mine vsftpd version as well ;) [06:26] phpstar: schitte.... why didn't i think of that? [06:26] hehehehe [06:26] Frijolie: No. Please take offtopic comments elsewhere. [06:26] CostaRicanQuaker, What flavour you using? [06:26] how do you mean? [06:26] what version ubuntu ? [06:27] CoUrPsE|DeAd, how do i check? [06:27] 0.o [06:27] nething special i should keep in mind when upgrading ubuntu 8.04 kernel? [06:27] phpstar: it works, it shows the installed version. kind of clunky for *nix though... [06:27] How do i check what version of ubuntu i'm on? === ein_ is now known as ADJIE [06:28] <_Vi_> liquid: do you use Vbox ? if you do you'll likely have to recompile it after that [06:28] kool [06:28] yes i do...good info [06:29] <_Vi_> CostaRicanQuaker: lsb_release -a [06:29] tien: how are you doing? did you find it? [06:30] Frijolie, Dual heads or single? [06:30] CoUrPsE|DeAd, Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 [06:30] bling, I found VPN under "preferences"/Network Connections" but the "VPN" tab is grayed out of the "add, edit,etc..button" [06:30] <_Vi_> 8.04 FTW! :) [06:30] lol. [06:31] CoUrPsE|DeAd, for what? [06:31] I'm trying to use Cron to execute Audacious on a timer, I have it set up in Gnome schedule, and when I "Execute" the command in the scheduler, it works, but when the actually time comes for Cron to run the command itself, it does not work. [06:31] CostaRicanQuaker, do: sudo updatedb [06:31] CostaRicanQuaker, do: sudo locate firefoxrc. [06:31] Frijolie, Your computer, has it got 2 monitors or one? [06:31] tien: i ran into that too, and im not sure why. this is the place to ask that question though. [06:31] CoUrPsE|DeAd: thanks, I got SSH up and running [06:31] Ketrel, np. [06:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd: of course the purpose was so I could use Finch while in class without anyone suspecting an IM program XD [06:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd, sorry, I shoulda known what you meant. Only one monitor, I'm on a lappy [06:32] Frijolie, okies. [06:32] bling.....is there anyhow to unlock the VPN icon ? [06:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd, man, you're like the Help Desk machine! Look at you go! [06:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd, i did the first command you told me and i lost the prompt [06:32] Ketrel, on terminal msn or something argh? [06:33] <_Vi_> !cookie | CoUrPsE|DeAd [06:33] CostaRicanQuaker, Wait a bit, it well come back. [06:33] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [06:33] <_Vi_> :) [06:33] CoUrPsE|DeAd: were askign what finch was? [06:33] bling, also isthere anyhow to configure VPN by manual (cmd) instead of GUI ? [06:33] Ketrel, Yeah, [06:33] CoUrPsE|DeAd, here's to you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OafqYNCzq5U [06:33] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Text-based Pidgin [06:33] tien: i dont know. ive run into the same problem, but i havent had the time to figure out why yet. [06:34] (Pidgin being the multi protocall IM program) [06:34] Ketrel, Ahh k, well have to install it, pidgin minest well be tui anyway. [06:34] tien: if there is, i dont know it. i would recommend the applet plugin though, its actually quite good. [06:34] sebastian@sebastian:~$ sudo locate firefoxrc. sebastian@sebastian:~ [06:34] bling, you ran into the problem before....so you could not run vpnc on your ubuntu, right... [06:34] ^ CoUrPsE|DeAd [06:35] CostaRicanQuaker, okies, then ya not going to be able to edit what dnt exist, [06:35] CoUrPsE|DeAd, so what do i do next? [06:35] to play both at once [06:35] does anybody have a Belkin N1 router? [06:35] You give me time, I am not here 100% of the time to reply back to just you. [06:35] :) [06:36] buffoon [06:36] CoUrPsE|DeAd, me? [06:36] CostaRicanQuaker, that the new Rick Roll? [06:36] rick roll? [06:36] tien: yes, but i have used it on a different machine where it worked absolutely flawlessly. to me at least, it would be more worth my while to find a way to get it working through the GUI, but you may wish to do otherwise. [06:37] i've got tightvncserver installed, as well as gnome-core and gdm. how can I have tightvnc open to a GDM login prompt? I dont want to attach to an existing screen, i want to spawn a new one.. [06:37] tien: since im interested in the answer to the GUI question, ill ask it. [06:38] CostaRicanQuaker, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI [06:38] bling, thanks for your time....I might find the way to download vpnc from outside of Ubuntu, then confiugre it from there.... [06:38] do you think that we could roll-back the ekiga version in the repos... wouldn't want to get too bleeding edge there [06:38] Bogaurd, Well thats not possible, [06:38] frijolia that video is not vailable in my country [06:38] CoUrPsE|DeAd - why not? [06:38] anybody know whats wrong if all of the buttons in the VPN connections manager (with vpnc installed) are grayed out? [06:38] anyone have ekiga + pulse audio working and liking the behavior? [06:38] Frijolie * [06:38] coz VNC veiws what the computer is viewing at the time. [06:38] its not a seperate login. [06:39] CostaRicanQuaker, hehe [06:39] biouser, I dumped PA a while back [06:39] VNC simplys passes information back and forth with whats happening. [06:39] Frijolie pulse audio will be breaking new ground, now just broken [06:39] In windows you can put .log at the beginning of a notepad or word document and then anytime you open it the date and time are automatically written before you cursor. Is there a similar command in ubuntu? [06:39] biouser, some day we'll get skype [06:39] so how do we figure out to ungray the VPN tab ? [06:39] CoUrPsE|DeAd: you can setup VNC to do whatever you like, it's only a protocol. I'm not talking about installing the default package and using the default settings. [06:40] biouser, and I don't see a shovel in their hand(s) anytime soon [06:40] * regeya isn't liking pulseaudio, period, biouser [06:40] CoUrPsE|DeAd: I already have it spawning new sessions, but with the X session manager, not GDM [06:40] Frijolie I would much prefer to go open-source of course [06:40] then again, I don't have any hardware that DOESN'T have Intel HDA [06:40] hello everyone [06:40] i'm running ubuntu 8.10 and installed the lamp packages... [06:40] I thought you were simply running vnc server, then connecting and expected mircles. [06:41] Hi is anybody there? [06:41] turn the switch and the light will turn on, josephnexus [06:41] 8.10 is way better for pulse audio than 8.04 at least [06:41] if not, replace the bulb! [06:41] biouser, yeah *prefer* [06:41] goodnight [06:41] i can connect to my db server using phpmyadmin.. and I can create dbs and so on, but I can't connect to the db using any other method [06:41] I've got a problems with my mounted drivers [06:41] for example... mysql from the terminal doesn't le tme connect... and my php app can't connect... i've made a new user in phpmyadmin and ensure it has the permissions that I need... anyone have any ideas? [06:42] any way to get nvidia drivers on jaunty yet? [06:42] josephnexus sounds like #php perhaps, you should look into a python framewerk :P [06:42] Frijolie, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-89455.html [06:42] tien: good luck [06:42] josephnexus you could stop firestarter if it is running and sudo iptables -F and that might work [06:42] it's not a php issue though, since I can't connect anywhere... i've set this up before on 8.04 and such, but this was my first time with 8.10... and the first time i've seen this issue [06:42] i'm not running firestarter [06:42] but I'll ensure that iptables isn't doing anything [06:43] I specified two different entries for two different drivers in /etc/fstab, however Ubuntu exchange the entries [06:43] josephnexus what does iptables -L return? [06:43] hi all [06:43] CoUrPsE|DeAd, checking it out as we speak..thanks [06:43] Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) [06:43] target prot opt source destination [06:43] Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) [06:43] target prot opt source destination [06:43] Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) [06:43] josephnexus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:43] my sound card has stopped working in the last few days, i seem to recall an alsa update i installed without paying much attention, does anyone know of any known issues? [06:43] target prot opt source destination [06:43] if all ACCEPT then that is def not the problem [06:43] bling, I saw you asked vpnc,,,,,but I am lost....Thanks so much though. [06:43] 0,o [06:43] sry... my bad floodbot2... my apologies [06:43] right josephnexus then I don't know, sounds like users and permissions maybe? [06:43] in Ubuntu-8.10 how can i add an user to sudoers file? [06:43] any way to get nvidia drivers on jaunty yet? [06:44] tien: if you want, i can email you a solution once i find one. it will make configuring vpnc easier in the future. [06:44] does jaunty have the new ekiga in the repos? [06:44] can anyone help with mount? [06:44] yme perhaps [06:44] Shital , visudo [06:44] Hi biouser [06:45] CostaRicanQuaker, Dont know where it is sorry. [06:45] !myphpadmin [06:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about myphpadmin [06:45] biouser, I have two external USB HD, for which I entered two different entries in /etc/fstab [06:45] !phpadmin [06:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about phpadmin [06:45] yme okay [06:45] has neone had random wireless disconnects with ubuntu 8.10? It's the reason I do not use it. [06:45] biouser, however randomly Ubuntu will exchange the destinations [06:46] bling, yes.....please....BTW: I just find the way of running vpnc manual (cmd)...I am figuring it out....But I hope you plscould send me the email. would you [06:46] tien: pm me your email and i will. :-) [06:46] !mysqladmin [06:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about mysqladmin === kompi07 is now known as bebe [06:46] hey [06:47] bling, my email: tienhoodida@gmail.com [06:47] yme destinations as in mount points? [06:47] CostaRicanQuaker, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=686624 [06:47] tien: Thanks. I'll start spamming your emails. [06:47] biouser, yes. [06:47] Whats a good gui front end for managing mysql? [06:47] scunizi the one that synaptic tell you about when you search MySQL in synaptic === loz is now known as loz- [06:47] somebody can help...i need to know, how to install my ATI Xpress 200 m [06:48] oooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [06:48] scunizi, look for MySQL Administration tools on MySQL website [06:48] Mysql query Browser [06:48] CoUrPsE|DeAd, what qualifies as the key? the "window's key"? [06:48] eae bebe [06:48] biouser, kmysqladmin.. but I thought there was another that was more recommended.... [06:48] mysql-admin package [06:49] kinja sheep, what do you mean to spam my email [06:49] ai bebe você é da onde? [06:49] scunizi with mysql-query-browser I think or some helper program so that you can actually edit the tables [06:49] Is phpmyadmin considered a gui? But to me it's a gui [06:49] !br | Dunaz [06:49] Dunaz: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [06:49] yme you can just mount without fstab, right? [06:50] biouser, just hadn't scrolled down enough. thanks. [06:50] ok...sorry. [06:50] biouser, no worries [06:50] हि [06:50] biouser, how? [06:50] * josephnexus feels like an idiot... I suppose if I remembered what my password was that would help... i remembered it and now I can connect [06:50] :-P [06:51] CoUrPsE|DeAd, nope article didn't help...thanks for trying [06:51] Frijolie, I dont know, :( [06:51] _Vi_: sir i just avant worked cool here is the screen shot http://122.167.88.158 sir how do i make this little tool bar go away in back of the avant toolbar [06:51] Frijolie, okies, /me looks again. [06:51] CoUrPsE|DeAd, I'm thinking it's a VirtualBox issue [06:51] yme well I mount my nfs with $sudo mount 192.168.2.2:/from/where /to/this/mount/location [06:51] I think that I had to have portmap and a few other things from [06:51] Frijolie, I've never used VB before. [06:52] Frijolie, so i dont think i can help ya. [06:52] one of the top hits for NFS ubuntu that I followed [06:52] CoUrPsE|DeAd, those keyboard shortcuts on that forum posting and others on Google will resize any window but my guest OS [06:52] biouser, yes, but then I'd have to do it everytime I reboot right? [06:52] yme that is correct... [06:52] adamzyg: in that file where i have to include user name to access all the privilages?? [06:52] CoUrPsE|DeAd, and the boneheads in the VBox IRC chat room aren't responding [06:52] tv7497: you should be able to right click on the panel and click "delete this panel" [06:52] lol. [06:52] CoUrPsE|DeAd, thanks for trying [06:52] biouser, I'd like this to be done automatically [06:52] yme is there some hidden file in like the gnome settings or something that can interfere with /etc/fstab/ ? I don't know [06:52] np. [06:53] yme so it always mounts it just changes location? [06:53] bling: thank you sir :) [06:53] biouser, the worse thing is that it doesn't happen always. For instance I declared two entries: /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 [06:54] biouser, sometimes points to /dev/sdd1 sometimes to /dev/sdc1 and viceversa [06:54] Shital, not always [06:54] what's the volume control called in gnome? [06:55] bling: how can i make avant start up as soon as the desktop starts is there any option ? [06:55] yme these are usb drives? [06:55] biouser, yes [06:56] adamzyg: i just want to include my user name to sudoers file, but which line? [06:56] tv7497: yes, i think theres an option in avant to do it, but i cant remember where. if there isnt an option, you can add it to your session by going to System > Preferences > Sessions and clicking add and then asking in this channel what to add (I dont know that either). [06:56] Shital, satisfy yours needs [06:56] yme so maybe you are changing the order in which they are plugged in, to which usb inlet, I don't know I am out of my league here, how does ubuntu know which is to be sdc1 and which is to be sdc2? [06:56] !ubuntu-ce [06:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-ce [06:56] does anyone know if ubuntu-ce has a irc channel? [06:57] guys [06:57] is there a jaunty nvidia driver or not? [06:57] biouser, the drives have been assigned a name during partitioning. So /dev/sdc1 always refers to one disk, /dev/sdd1 always refers to another disk. The difference is in the mount points [06:57] Ubuntu will search the usb root hubs and then put them in /dev as they go. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:58] root ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:58] Shital ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:58] biouser, it's like somehow Ubuntu looses the mount points for the drives [06:58] yme, The /dev/sd* change. [06:58] yme the entries in fsatb actually change?? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:59] CoUrPsE|DeAd, what do you mean? [06:59] Shital, this is the easiest way. [06:59] which one? [06:59] Shital, after the line of "root ALL=(ALL) ALL" [06:59] yme, if one is plugged in before the other, or is first in line at the usb root devices, then it will be made sdc, if the other drive is first in line, it well be sdc otherwise sdd. [07:00] adamzyg: k after this line, i should add "user_name ALL=(ALL) ALL"??? [07:01] yeah ^_^ [07:01] Shital: Why do you want to add your user to the sudoers file? [07:01] CoUrPsE|DeAd, are you saying that also the internal name can change? I thought I assigned the names during partitioning. So how am I going to solve this problem? [07:01] bling: thanks found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=555781 will restart and let you know [07:01] Shital: You just need to grant access to the user? [07:02] yme, Keep them in the same place, or plug em back in the same place every time you use em. [07:02] CoUrPsE|DeAd, the devices are always plugged to the box [07:02] i want the user also to have all the access rights as root [07:02] hi, is there a way to install nvidia drivers from terminal? [07:02] yme, the mount point isnt changing at all, its doing what you told it to do in fstab, its just the order of devices have changed. [07:02] CoUrPsE|DeAd, I never change the location [07:02] Hummm. [07:03] how to log in as root in ubuntu? [07:03] ganesh, su root [07:03] ganesh: Use sudo instead. [07:03] Shital: Just add the user to the "admin" group [07:03] how unrecommended would it be to update-manager -d to jaunty right now? [07:03] CoUrPsE|DeAd: i tried but it is not accepting the password [07:03] * CoUrPsE|DeAd nods with Flannel, There should be no need to login as root. sudo is fine. [07:03] Shital: You don't need to edit sudoers at all. [07:04] biouser: Jaunty is alpha software. [07:04] CoUrPsE|DeAd, do you think it would be worthwhile trying to exchange the entries and see what happens? [07:04] Flannel: how to do that? [07:04] ganesh, root passwd is different to your normal password, you entered your root password when installed ubuntu. [07:04] Shital: sudo adduser username admin [07:04] Flannel:i tried using sudo with cp command it showes some error [07:04] if i conf sys -> settings -> proxy, will updates obey it too? [07:04] child what? [07:04] CoUrPsE|DeAd, ganesh: No, the root password doesn't exist. [07:04] ganesh: what error? [07:05] Flannel? [07:05] CoUrPsE|DeAd: You don't set a root password during the install. [07:05] Flannel: omitting the directory from where i was copying [07:05] Well then mine must be diff. [07:05] ganesh: That's not a sudo issue then, thats a cp issue. [07:05] is there a good way to install oo.org 3.0 for 8.04? [07:05] yme, Are they wrong every time? [07:05] hi all [07:06] ganesh: you're copying a directory? [07:06] In software testing terminology alpha testing is done by the client in the presence of the tester or developers and the test environment is not open for the end user. [07:06] ganesh: you'd need the -r parameter [07:06] Flannel, Im pretty sure i did, and i can su root, and stick in a diff passwd to my sudo passwd, and it logs in. [07:06] while trying to restart my network service i am getting error msg "Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCADDRT: File existsFailed to bring up eth0.done." [07:06] syockit: let me try yes i was copying a directory [07:06] CoUrPsE|DeAd, from what I can see this happens randomly [07:06] 8.04-8.10 helped my audio so much but not enough... it is tempting to try jaunty [07:07] biouser: Right, Jaunty is not fit for normal users. Alpha software generally is day to day. Today's upgrades may break something that was working just fine yesterday. [07:07] yme, Then im just as confused as you. [07:07] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Then you're not using Ubuntu [07:07] lol. [07:07] ganesh: So it'd be like: sudo cp -r [07:07] Pretty sure i am.. [07:07] syockit: hey thanks it works [07:07] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Are you sure you're not using some third party remix of Ubuntu? [07:08] CoUrPsE|DeAd: What site did you get your ISO from, etc? [07:08] Hummm. [07:08] Now im wondering... [07:08] syockit: hey can u help me with pcap networking!! [07:08] I thought it's okay to 'su', as long as you know the 'exit' strategy [07:08] pcap header file configuring [07:08] hi, can somone help, i have winxp installed on virtual box, but when i click settings it says theres a usb error, could not load usb proxy service [07:09] Flannel, I got Ubuntu from a PC shop locally, NZ has crap bw caps, so i just paid $5 bucks for a copy, Maybe its not orginal... which could explain alot of other things that just dont seem to fit... [07:09] where is "sysconfig" directory? [07:09] syockit: Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, it's locked. So "su" won't work. [07:09] while trying to restart my network service i am getting error msg "Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCADDRT: File existsFailed to bring up eth0.done." can any one help me ?? [07:09] $ whereis sysconfig [07:09] jaunty here I come! [07:09] Flannel: can you help me with configuring pcap.h header file?? [07:10] thanks,i will try it [07:10] CoUrPsE|DeAd I exchanged the usb plugged sockets now, I'm going to reboot to see if it's happening again [07:10] ganesh: Likely not. [07:10] Flannel: oh, I mistook it with 'sudo -i' [07:10] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Fair enough. You could try to contact your LoCo team about getting a real copy. [07:11] Flannel, Sounds like a idea to me. /me growls. [07:11] bling: sir is it possible to secure my wi-fi router with some sort of pass phrase so that only guys i know can use it === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [07:11] All this time i've had nothing in my hardware driver sections and stuff, cant enable any desktop effects, that could be it... [07:12] tv7497: probably, but that depends on the router. i would consult any paper or online documentation, as every router does things differently. [07:12] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Sounds extremely likely :) [07:12] tv7497: should be in the router's manual [07:12] bling: syockit thanks sir will look into it [07:13] Lol, and i've been helping people with ther ubuntu with some 3rd party install... No wonder why some things we diff. [07:13] so where do I search/discuss/publish bug reports for 9.04? [07:13] CoUrPsE|DeAd: #ubuntu-nz (and they have a ML, etc): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NZTeam [07:13] !launchpad | biouser [07:13] biouser: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [07:13] The first time I read that it seemed like "sir, do you know how to bling the router...". My eyes are getting weak [07:13] biouser: Also, Jaunty questions/support/etc is in #ubuntu+1 [07:13] Flannel, nice... [07:14] CoUrPsE|DeAd it looks now they booted normally, after having exchanged the USB entry sockets [07:14] syockit: or you are just way cooler and have more bling than the rest of us here. ;-) [07:14] yme, Still weird, but coo coo. [07:14] Yay, 16 users in NZ have ubuntu+IRC~ [07:16] Hey Flannel are you still in here? [07:16] I should have read the topic in ubuntu+1 before starting the upgrade haha, oh well, it's time for me to give a bit back :P [07:17] why does not the directory "/etc/sysconfig" exist? [07:17] vince: Yep [07:18] zhanglei: why do you want it exist? [07:18] zhanglei, Are you looking for /etc/sysctl.d/ ? [07:18] Flannel : I figured it out although I have no idea why the heck this worked nor why it wasn't working. I logged in via a straight console and went into root. I then disabled the autologin on GDM. Once I did that I was able to reset the password and now it's taking it. [07:18] vince: Odd indeed. [07:19] Flannel : But it seems to have had something to do with the autologin [07:19] hi.....how do I share a folder to another computer on a windows network through samba [07:19] cuz it contain a lot of configs by the book [07:20] let's try !samba [07:20] !samba [07:20] 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 [07:20] but i can't find it [07:21] zhanglei: What book? [07:21] I'm trying to speed up my boot time, if I remove 3 tty's, what exactly am I getting rid of? What do tty's do? [07:21] zhanglei: More importantly, what year is that book? [07:21] nyaa: ttys are the things which listen for logins when you press ctrl-alt-F* [07:21] haha === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [07:21] nyaa: You don't get to increase that much time with that [07:21] nyaa: although, to be honest, they're small enough that stopping them booting will only decrease your boot time minimally [07:21] nyaa: they are consoles or terminals [07:22] so if I push control-alt-f2, then another users session comes up? all I got was a black screen [07:22] Maybe you'll increase more productivity if you learn how to live in ttys. No more X!! [07:22] nyaa: ? No login prompt? [07:23] I get some garbage on X startup relating to old contents of the framebuffer. this includes stuff from other operating systems. I suspect a way around this would be to clear the framebuffer before X start. how would I go about this? [07:23] sycokit I'm trying with f1 next so I guess I may dissapear, but there was no login prompt. this is a 1 user machine hehe [07:23] here goes [07:25] Um, Anyone tell him how to get back to X? [07:25] * CoUrPsE|DeAd chuckles a little. [07:25] lol. Guess he didnt figure it out. [07:25] startx or gmd start [07:26] ...or just ctrl-alt-f7 [07:26] * CoUrPsE|DeAd nods. [07:26] But peeps told him to press cltr+alt+F1 and didnt tell him how to get back to X. [07:27] I would hope that he could figure it out himself, even if through trial and error [07:27] bling: for network authentication what should i go to wep , wpa ,wpa2 wpa2-psk mixed wpa2/wpa-psk [07:27] Well he just disconnecged eith connection reset so im guessing he didnt, if he was willing to try a few combinations he would of figured it out, doesnt take a genious... [07:28] guys anyone ? [07:29] why would you use tty instead of a terminal? [07:29] nyaa: hi !!!!!!!!! [07:29] nyaa: they were used in the pre-X days [07:29] hey tv =) [07:29] nyaa: also if X dies for some reason [07:29] tty pwnz. [07:29] tty is good for dedicated servers. [07:29] nyaa: also if you don't want to use X in the first place because you're all hardcore teminally [07:29] and repair jobs. [07:30] I kinda like tty now that I've figured it out a little, but I don't think I need 6 of them for a laptop with no server purpose =) [07:30] nyaa: could you help me with what should i go with my Network Authentication wep , wpa ,wpa2 wpa2-psk mixed wpa2/wpa-psk [07:30] still, is there a better way to speed up boot times? [07:30] nyaa: even so, disabling them will do little [07:30] if a tty is sitting there with going, then it aint gunna use jack ****. [07:30] tv7497: I'd recommend you go with wpa, it's a good compromise of security and compatibility [07:31] nyaa: I'd recommend you take a look at http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ [07:31] IchiFish: thank you sir [07:31] nyaa: bootchart in particular is fun [07:31] nyaa: depending on how much experience you have with linux compiling a kernel without modules can speed up kernel boot a fair bit [07:32] You could get a better pc, :P [07:32] nyaa: and disabling any unneeded services in /etc/rc*.d (see update-rc.d) [07:32] hi can some one tell me how to have efnet start on connet [07:32] connect [07:32] alprix, Xchat ? [07:32] yes [07:33] ichifish I'll check it out, thanks =) [07:33] alprix: your client usually has a gui that enables you to auto connect upon startup [07:33] do programs run faster on 64bit ubuntu? [07:33] alprix: check your preferences [07:33] alprix, Xchat/Network list/ select efnet, click edit, enable "auto connect to this network on startup" For further information ask in #xchat [07:33] homeskillet: depends what you're doing as far as I know [07:34] homeskillet: for most things, not significantly [07:34] like will firefox load faster [07:34] ok thanks [07:34] Um, firefox itself doesnt take much to load anyway. [07:34] Hello, I just want to check if it is possible to browse Windows shares using Nuatilus in Ubuntu 8.10 ? I tried yesterday, but no share are displayed. Maybe, something is wrong setup in Windows. But when I share folder in Ubuntu, Windows is able to see it. So, if somebody can tell me if there is some bug about that or it is MY mistake somehow? [07:34] courpse|dead: depends what sort of a system you're on :P [07:34] Kunalagon, Windows Vista ? [07:35] if you want to make firefox load lightning quick, set up a ramdisk and dump firefox and its libs in that [07:35] IchiFish, Meaning a hos? [07:35] CoUrPsE|DeAd: no, Windows XP Professional [07:35] courspe|dead: hos? [07:36] * CoUrPsE|DeAd shurgs firefox opens from my 'sessions' and gets sent to virtual desktop 2, second head, using devilspie, and doesnt get closed when my pc is on. [07:36] IchiFish, /noticed what i meant. [07:36] courpse|dead: even so, compared to, say, opera, firefox is slow [07:37] course|dead: and not all of us can afford system upgrades every few years [07:37] Guess so, fixfox pwnz thou. :) [07:37] oh neither can i, i aint even got a GB of ram, or a 64bit cpu. [07:37] * CoUrPsE|DeAd is old school. [07:37] courpse|dead: yeah, same here, firefox still kills my system whenever it's in a bad mood [07:37] homeskillet: 64-bit is not significantly faster [07:38] nonsense. [07:38] It depends on your use case. [07:38] IchiFish, Humm, I've never bothered bout tweaking to get it to run fase. [07:39] something really weird is going on with my user's groups [07:39] which command i should use in 8.10 to install kde4, what all the repositories i have to add? [07:40] nyaa: also, check if your system's running those server that you don't really need as a normal user, like apache, mysql, etc... [07:40] Shital: You mean you're on Ubuntu? [07:40] Shital: and not Kubuntu? [07:41] Shital: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:41] yess i installed ubuntu with live CD, now with internet i want to install kde4 [07:41] werdnum: I refer to his case of starting firefox === mike is now known as Guest6439 [07:42] Firefox loading is disk-bound, I think. [07:42] so the fastest processor in the world won't help. [07:43] shiman__: refer http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde . But if you still want to use GNOME, don't change to kdm [07:43] a little while ago I could type groups and www-data would show up but I couldn't write or modify files despite belonging to the group. I opened up the group manager in ubuntu and www-data didn't even exist. So I created it. Now when I type "groups" I get an error "id: cannot find name for group ID 33". I look in /etc/groups and there is no group 33 ... any ideas/ways to solve this? [07:44] Internet connection via ADSL (LAN, wired connection) with 8.10 on some computers seems to be a problem. Looks like a lot of people has this problem but no one has a work around. Anyone here having this problem? [07:45] crownambassador: any specifics? [07:45] You havent stated a problem... [07:45] CrownAmbassador: it's too generic to say ADSL. It might be problem with the network card/interface [07:46] This is what I posted in the Ubuntu Forum: Hi guys. [07:46] I might have asked this question here before, but nobody could help me, so as this is about 2 and a half months later I figured I'd try again. Was actually hoping this would be sorted out via a update by now. [07:46] Since doing a fresh install to 8.10, my ADSL (wired, lan or whatever you wanna call it) does not work. When I plug the modem in, the network manager starts working and then connects to a connection it creates on its own called Auto eth0. Only problem is this is all it does. I can't open websites, ping Google, or even ping the router. My work computer running Windows XP is connected to the same router, so the router is fine. [07:46] The machine is question is my personal laptop and it has a built-in 3G card which works perfectly with the network manager. [07:46] CrownAmbassador: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:46] ... [07:46] hehe [07:46] i need help with atheros ar5007eg on amd 64 please! [07:46] hi there....does anyone know where the "vpnc" profile located in Ubuntu 8.10 ? [07:46] Could've just posted the link to the forum [07:46] oops [07:47] crownambassador: in a terminal, do ifconfig eth0 after network-manager has done its thing, and send a link to the output [07:47] CrownAmbassador, when using wget in terminal, does it tll you resolving address to 10.0.0.1 ? [07:47] Often the case you need to enter your nameservers manually. [07:49] i did everything that the ppl says on forums and dont work [07:50] caim____br: what have you tried thus far? [07:50] IchiFish: http://linuxoutputs.blogspot.com [07:51] CrownAmbassador: alright, you're not even receiving an IP address from the router, how odd... [07:52] try: sudo dhclient eth0, and paste a link to the output of that [07:52] CoUrPsEDeAd: what must i wget? [07:52] guys whats the best linux game ? [07:52] CrownAmbassador: also, try some non-conventional solutions like restarting the router, and replugging the cable [07:52] hello, Is there any GUI for configuring PPPOE connectuion, wireless for example ? [07:52] tv7497: UT2004, in my opinion [07:52] tv7497: many will say Tux Racer!!! [07:52] Follow what IchiFish is saying. [07:53] syockit: that's true too :P [07:53] IchiFish: what kinda game is it sir === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:53] tv7497: it's a commercial game, an FPS [07:53] IchiFish: will do as soon as its doen running that command [07:53] tv7497: mindless killing and fragging [07:53] tv7497: yeah, what syockit said === eric is now known as Guest71488 [07:54] syockit: i've tried that a million times. that router is connected to this computer i'm using at work now running windows. [07:54] syockit: similar to crysis [07:54] ? [07:54] it worked perfectly with hardy [07:54] Oh sorry, UT2004's got assault! Now that's not mindless... [07:54] tv7497: the original unreal tournament is already very good if you don't mind the outdated graphics [07:54] I took over a friend's laptop (legally, he no longer wants it), but I messed up when I tried to remove his user and adding myself... now when I try to start System > Admin > User & Groups or whateve, it wont let me edit anything... if I try to unlock it, it'll say it encountered an unknown error w/o asking me for password... any idea where that applet is so I can manually su before launching it? [07:54] * syockit doesn't know crysis. He's been off from gaming scene for years [07:55] tv7497: roughly the same genre but completely different feel [07:55] which is the latest version of the book ubuntu unleashed [07:55] would any1 be interested in helpin a noob? [07:55] IchiFish: posted [07:55] luxarie: depends what your question is [07:55] Alfarin: nice, you accidentally added yourself as a non-admin user [07:56] But I think that can be solved through a live cd hacking.... [07:56] CrownAmbassador: that's rather peculiar, it looks like it might be a driver issue or something [07:56] syockit: crysis is the most awesome game played for a while you play as an invincible super agent discovering what Koreans are up-to [07:56] I have root account access, but gnome wont let me login using that account :p [07:56] CrownAmbassdor: do you know the model/chipset of your NIC? [07:56] <_2> is this the internet ? [07:57] _2: no this is IRC [07:57] IchiFish: Driver for my network card? [07:57] so if I can get access to the panel thing using command line, it shouldnt need live cd [07:57] tv7497: But they're only up to conquer asian countries with their korean drama influence! [07:57] IchiFish: what about fifa sir could it be played n ibex ? === Guest71488 is now known as talntid [07:57] <_2> eatThisAndDie heh. irc==internet relay chat :) [07:57] IchiFish: *feels like a newbie* what is a NIC? [07:57] tv7497: maybe, check the wine application database [07:57] syockit: eh ? [07:57] well i have a laptop for my home rec. studio and it wasnt fast enuff so i got a dt and now the mill$ task at hand now is ftp so i guess i just needa host name etc [07:57] CrownAmbassador: like, do a lmesg and look for the network interface name [07:58] tv7497: UT and UT2004 run natively though, without a compatibility layer [07:58] no, irc = i repeat classes [07:58] CrownAmbassador: sorry, dmesg [07:58] CrownAmbassador: a NIC is just a network interface :) === croppa_ is now known as croppa [07:58] NIC = Network Interface Card [07:59] * _2 wonders where the acronymn command is... [07:59] luxarie: can you rephrase that a bit? what do you mean by "mill$ task at hand now is ftp"? [07:59] did that make sence ichifish? [07:59] CrownAmbassador: try something along the lines of 'dmesg | grep Ethernet' [07:59] CrownAmbassador: What is the difference between dmesg and lspci? [07:59] _2: wtf is fun [07:59] CrownAmbassador: dmesg prints the kernel's log output, lspci prints a readout of what's connected to the PCI bus [07:59] syockit: This has got me for a long time: how do I get that little stripe? hehe [07:59] CrownAmbassador: lspci might be easier to look through [08:00] a lil sarcasm ive been trying to do it for 5hrs or so just take files from computer 1 and send to computer 2 [08:00] _2: it's in bsdgames or something like that I think [08:00] ah ok [08:00] <_2> CrownAmbassador lshw -C network [08:00] luxarie: I take it both of your computers are running linux of some description? [08:00] CrownAmbassador: it's called the pipe. You don't have it on your keyboard? mine's a japanese, I forgot the regular ones... [08:01] IchiFish: syockit: I'll post all the outputs on the blog again. [08:01] <_2> luxarie ssh ? [08:01] xp on 1 and vista on 2 [08:01] <_2> heh. [08:01] luxarie: why are you posting on an ubuntu irc then? :P [08:01] _2: cool, learnt something new! [08:01] <_2> luxarie ##windows is for you [08:02] doh didnt know srru [08:02] luxarie: set up a shared folder on one, probably easier to do it on the xp one (right click -> properties, sharing tab) [08:02] <_2> syockit full list is lshw | less [08:02] Mmm... anymody have an idea of how to get the pipe a "normal" keyboard? [08:03] CrownAmbassador: on US keyboard's I think it's near the enter key [08:03] <_2> syockit pretty handy command imo === rob is now known as Guest41876 [08:03] hellp [08:03] hazzah, hacked myself as admin now :) [08:03] CrownAmbassador: US keyboards usually have the pipe symbol as shift-\. \ is just above the enter key [08:03] hello [08:03] is anybody there [08:03] yeah [08:03] Alfarin: congrats! now a hacker, eh [08:03] CrownAmbassador: on my UK one it's just to the right of the right shift key [08:03] njoseph> no, we're just figments of your imagination :) [08:04] u? [08:04] u are a hacker? [08:04] IchiFish: other left [08:04] njoseph: just ask the question [08:04] CrownAmbassador: don't forget to give the link to the blog or anything you said [08:04] !ot | njoseph [08:04] njoseph: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[08:06] tv7497: nothing much, just that since you said you'd be pasting the result on a blog, you should give the link to it [08:06] IchiFish: found the | looks broken on the keyboard! dmesg cuts off. It doesn't show everything on the screen. Kinda like it is too long... [08:06] tv7497: ayyyy wrong person! [08:06] s0orry [08:06] syockit: never mind :) [08:07] CrownAmbassador: try lspci | grep -i network [08:07] hi - is there a way to install nvidia drivers thru the comand line ? [08:07] Hey, little trouble with compiz here [08:07] afroken: I would guess something like sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [08:07] <_2> CrownAmbassador are you in "less" if so use the dirrectional keys to move === tien is now known as john [08:08] afroken: the series sir ? [08:08] IchiFish, i guessed the same - but i couldn't google any precise info , i dont want to mess my system up [08:08] *waves his hand in the air* Hey, hey, over here people === john is now known as Guest77453 [08:08] tv7497, erm? [08:08] !ask | luke_ [08:08] luke_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:08] I'm trying to get the cube on my desktop again, but for some reason it's not working [08:09] afroken: i meant he series of the card mine is geforce 9400gt [08:09] tv7497, you mean : nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1) [08:09] How do I change the theme of Gnome applications run as root? [08:09] hello ! [08:09] Hello All, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and updated all latest software application, then reboot....the display is coming back with a large font....how/where to reset the better Display ? [08:10] rww: you'd probably have to run the theme settings as root. [08:10] afroken: well nvidia 177' driver would support that [08:10] well* [08:10] how to get nvidia ? [08:10] rww: sorry, I don't know the commands for that though [08:11] <_2> gksudo gnome-theme-manager @ rww [08:11] what time is it ? [08:11] afroken: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 should do it [08:11] oh yes 9/11... [08:11] _2: What do yo mean? [08:11] 17:11 in Japan [08:11] afroken: is it okie for you to install it graphically using add/remove [08:11] tv7497, dont have add/remove [08:11] !less [08:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about less [08:11] damn it! [08:11] <_2> CrownAmbassador i didn't raddle your cage, did i ? [08:12] afroken: sir in application>add remove whats the version of ubuntu you are using [08:12] CrownAmbassador: less is a tool for viewing contents of a file, but can also read from standard output (the hell that means anyway) [08:12] rww: I believe if you're using gnome's sudo thing, the theme settings should propogate via gnome-settings-daemon. You just have to make sure the theme you're using is in /usr/local/themes rather than ~/.themes/ else the root apps don't see it [08:12] tv7497, SERVER [08:12] _2: I'm trying to multi task so I'm loosing the plot!

[08:14] shauno: You mean it'll propogate my (non-root) theme to root apps? I actually want it to /not/ do that. I'd like my root apps to be bright-red or something similarly dangerous-looking ;) [08:15] <_2> gksudo gnome-theme-manager @ rww < again. [08:15] _2: tried that, isn't working [08:15] <_2> rww define ? [08:15] tv7497, i have a GUi but very simple [08:16] afroken: does synaptic work in server sir ? [08:16] well i don't know what i did to screw up my web flash player as it was working until recently. anyone give me an idea of what to look for or where to start? [08:16] _2: after changing appearance settings using gksudo gnome-theme-manager, gksudo'd applications continue to use my user's theme settings, rather than root's [08:16] rww: it used to be that symlinking /root/.gtkrc straight to a themes's gtkrc would do the trick. no idea if that was ever a sensible idea, or if it still works with settings-daemon [08:16] <_2> hmmm /// [08:17] Out_Cold: could try sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:17] will do thanks IchiFish [08:17] tv7497, it does! i didnt think of that,,,, what should i look for in synaptic ? nvidia? [08:18] Out_Cold: (that reinstalls the flash plugin, by the way; the && does the second command after the first, providing the first one is successful) [08:18] afroken: yes sir nvidia 177' driver [08:18] <_2> rww sorry. i haven't done that sense dapper, don't know what may have changed. [08:18] tv7497, thank you so much [08:18] afroken: *buries face in hands* [08:19] CrownAmbassador: how's it coming? [08:19] .... [08:19] IchiFish: It comes back to the regualr promt without pressing q. [08:19] IchiFish, the purge was successful yet i still don't have any flash.... anyone with more ideas? [08:19] Out_Cold: restart browser? [08:20] IchiFish: sir well along with 177 driver we need to install many more application to make nvidia card work the add/remove program took care for me sir you know what are required ? [08:20] hiya [08:20] I posted everything exept for dmesg on http://linuxoutputs.blogspot.com [08:20] did also syockit [08:20] What's the GNOME version of this?: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/Smb4K [08:20] A Samba (SMB) share advanced browser for KDE [08:20] CrownAmbassador: also, next time, let's use pastebin :) [08:21] tv7497: the package's post install script should take care of that, and apt should handle any dependencies [08:21] CrownAmbassador: so it's NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [08:21] IchiFish: oh! [08:21] CrownAmbassador: strange. it should've worked. Did it work when using live CD? [08:23] * tv7497 wine says fifa09 works in wine [08:23] syockit: how does pastemin work? The live CD also didn't work. But I'm just thinking... A while back I had the live cd on the desktop here at work and it also didn't work. Runs threw the same router... [08:24] * syockit suspects something wrong on the router... [08:24] <_2> !pastebinit | CrownAmbassador [08:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit [08:24] !pastebin [08:24] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:24] I set the "shopt -s histappend" and exported HISTFILE=~/.bash_history but there is no such file created! [08:24] <_2> syockit no the python script [08:24] I forgot the [08:24] and I get different bash histories for different terminals I open [08:24] <_2> !info pastebinit | CrownAmbassador [08:24] so where is the history saved then?? [08:24] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10-1 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 88 kB [08:24] pipe. oh, there's a python script for it? [08:25] <_2> that [08:25] CrownAmbassador: post the output of dmesg | grep -i bcm to your blog [08:25] <_2> !info pastebinit > syockit [08:25] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10-1 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 88 kB [08:25] _2: ahah, that doesn't work if you don't got no net! [08:26] <_2> if he didn't have any net he wouldn't be here [08:26] <_2> what am i missing ? [08:26] _2: he could be on on another computer [08:26] _2 ... true indeed === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [08:26] _2: although I wonder how he's pasting output... [08:26] _2 but thanks for another new idea! [08:26] <_2> IchiFish yep [08:27] _2: Copy output message to a file. Copy file to a disk. Copy from disk to the net computer [08:27] IchiFish: posted it on my blog and pastebin. What do I do after pasting it in pastebin? [08:27] is there a way to automaticly change the network connection from home (connection without proxy) and work (connection with proxy) without having to adapt this manually each time [08:27] I set the "shopt -s histappend" and exported HISTFILE=~/.bash_history but there is no such file created! And I get different bash histories for different terminals I open. So where is the history saved then?? [08:27] CrownAmbassador: hmm, ok, so there are no obvious errors the kernel's reporting... [08:28] CrownAmbassador: on pastebin, after clicking send, you can select the url and paste it here [08:28] <_2> syockit that's still a network connection... granted pastebinit.py probably wouldn't help there tho [08:28] kuntum ndi? [08:28] _2: I think his net pc is a windows anyways.... [08:28] syockit: oh... hehe. Aduh! http://paste.ubuntu.com/107638 [08:28] <_2> python works in windos to [08:29] heh [08:29] CrownAmbassador: do you happen to know the details of your network, so you can set an IP address manually? [08:29] hi, need help with compiz- installed nvidia drivers but running compiz-replace i get "Checking for Xgl: not present. [08:29] No whitelisted driver found" [08:30] IschFish: I know the username, password and router IP. What else do I need to know and can I get that via this windows pc? [08:30] _2: but need to install python etc. A, see it was a windows! [08:30] taeek semua [08:30] <_2> CrownAmbassador you did look at ifconfig -a to make sure that eth0 is recognized there didn't you? [08:31] CrownAmbassador: that should be enough. paste your internal IP address to somewhere so I can give you the commands to type [08:31] afroken: try #compiz [08:31] xxploit__, ok, thanks [08:31] _2: he tried ifconfig eth0 a while ago, was found there, but with no IP address [08:31] ow...i now [08:32] _2: Well I don't know what to look for there http://paste.ubuntu.com/107640 [08:32] <_2> IchiFish ok. ifdown eth0 ;ifup eth0 did he ? [08:32] IchiFish: You mean the router ip? [08:32] is there a way to automaticly change the network connection from home (connection without proxy) and work (connection with proxy) without having to adapt this manually each time [08:32] CrownAmbassador: sorry, yeah [08:33] wow... kline time... [08:33] _2: network-manager didn't seem to work. dhclient also didn't do much [08:33] Now I wonder if dhcp is even enabled or not on his router [08:33] _2: he seems to have tried rebooting and the like so I don't think it was anything weird caused by a temporary thing === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [08:33] syockit: yeah, that's why we're trying setting it manually [08:33] CrownAmbassador: hang on a second [08:33] CrownAmbassador: can you clarify your setup to us? [08:34] WHAT IS NSIS ERROR [08:34] <_2> IchiFish right. he's online via the wifi card ? [08:34] JamesMowery: Please turn that off. [08:34] IchiFish: ip on http://paste.ubuntu.com/107641/ [08:34] CrownAmbassador: the ppp0 entry from ifconfig -a, is that a separate modem to the router we're trying to get working? [08:34] I have the hardest time sharing files . I want to share the home directories of my desktop and laptop. I looked in the smb.conf and everything seems fine . I keep getting permission problems anyone else try to do this ? [08:35] IchiFish: The ppp0 might be my 3G connection. [08:35] when is try to install wubi with my xp..its says nsis_error...why? [08:35] CrownAmbassador: ah, alright, fair enough [08:35] CrownAmbassador: ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.88 up; route add default gw 10.0.0.2; echo 'nameserver 10.0.0.2 > /etc/resolv.conf' [08:36] when is try to install wubi with my xp..its says nsis_error...why? [08:36] CrownAmbassador: that may well knock out whatever connection you have on there at the moment though (only temporarily though, nothing a reboot or just network manager won't fix) [08:36] <_2> IchiFish bad quoteing on the echo [08:36] whoops [08:36] IchiFish: Do I just paste that in terminal or do i manually paste it in resolv.conf? [08:36] *echo 'nameserver 10.0.0.2' > /etc/resolv.conf [08:36] :/join #samba [08:36] just paste that in a terminal [08:36] /ion #samba [08:36] where is xorg.conf in intrepid? [08:37] afroken: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:37] /join #samba [08:37] /join #samba [08:37] <_2> afroken hardly used anymore [08:37] hi everyone i have a question. how good is wubi ubuntu? i wanna try the new ubuntu becouse i havent used ubuntu for over a year now. [08:38] lartz: If you're okay with partitioning, do that instead of Wubi. Wubi can be problematic. [08:38] <_2> lartz still has bumps and twists [08:38] lartz: I can't speak from personal experience but I would suspect that the disk performance from a wubi install would be significantly worse than a proper install [08:38] is there a way to automaticly change the network connection from home (connection without proxy) and work (connection with proxy) without having to adapt this manually each time [08:38] rww: afro@server:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:38] afro@server:~$ [08:38] hi [08:38] it doesnt exist [08:38] afroken: find / -name 'xorg.conf' [08:38] lartz: bun a live-cd [08:38] afroken: might want a sudo with that [08:38] afroken: Well, that's where it should be. === Helloeoo is now known as Rachid_ [08:39] afroken: I believe that's the correct location. It's obeyed if it exists, but Xorg will try it's best to do the right thing without it these days [08:39] <_2> IchiFish nah, just chuck the stderr in /dev/null [08:39] how do I track down a zombie process and figure out why it's lost it's min? [08:39] ichifish> ok thanks. thanks. [08:39] _2: hmm true, it always scares me a bit when I get lots of permission denied errors with things like that [08:39] <_2> no good reason to use sudo with find, unless you are wanting to search places you don't have a right too [08:39] _2: not that it means anything...nice little quirks to keep me sane [08:40] Can someone tell me why i dont get ownership of a partition I just created in Gparted? [08:40] Rachid_: define ownership [08:40] IchiFish: by the way, is /etc/resolv.conf owned by user? [08:40] dammit! [08:40] how is the game support in ubuntu now? is it alot of twisting to get some games to work? [08:40] sorry, it's been a while since I woke up [08:40] rww, it is there except its an empty file! [08:41] Rachid_: is that partition still active? if so unmount and try again [08:41] lartz, what are you looking to run? [08:41] CrownAmbassador, all of those commands should have been done after sudo -s [08:41] afroken: newer Xorg doesn't use xorg.conf [08:41] afroken: any particular reason why you needing this? [08:41] afroken: Intrepid's Xorg can autodetect most settings. The default xorg.conf file, in fact, is mostly empty. [08:41] of, the compiz matters. I forgot [08:41] afroken: If you're not having problems with Xorg, /etc/X11/xorg.conf being empty shouldn't be a problem. [08:41] well you can create a xorg [08:41] jeeves_moss> well for starters w.o.w and maybe some other games [08:42] IchiFish: i go to the folder propreties and its says im cannot change permissions since im not owner [08:42] <_2> Rachid_ as a general rule only the superuser should ever own a partition. i don't think we are talking about the same thing though. [08:42] I forgot the lines... [08:42] <_2> Rachid_ what "folder" ? [08:42] Rachid_: the raw device files for disks and partitions are usually ever (and should ever only be) owned by root [08:42] lartz, good luck! I'd just like to play some steam games. Go check on the Wine pages [08:42] IchiFish: Oh! Just restarting quick. Gave me some weird error. [08:42] Rachid_: if you're referring to the mounted folder, I'm not sure [08:43] Rachid_: gparted runs as root. Newly-created partitions are owned by root by default. [08:43] is wine still the only game emulator for ubuntu? [08:43] afroken: You need to create a xorg.conf first. [08:43] <_2> owner of a partition is totally irrelivant [08:43] lartz: wine is not an emulator [08:43] how can i ever use(copy stuff into itfor eg.) a partition I created then [08:43] all partitions should be owned by root. ownership is a role of the filesystem within the partition [08:43] afroken: and that involves some Xserver killing. [08:44] <_2> Rachid_ what filesystem ? [08:44] syockit, afroken: Default xorg.conf that comes with Intrepid: http://pastebin.com/f6e4bf50d [08:44] Rachid_: sudo cp -R source /mnt/whereitsmounted [08:44] is there a way to automaticly change the network connection from home (connection without proxy) and work (connection with proxy) without having to adapt this manually each time [08:44] afroken: as far as I know you should just be able to put a section in the blank file and put what you need in there and it'll autodetect the rest [08:44] <_2> IchiFish heh. why not just have him login/run as root heh... [08:44] then what is wine? (converter?) [08:44] paul68: adapt what manually each time? [08:44] IchiFish: everytime i want to copy?? [08:44] <_2> Rachid_ what filesystem ? [08:45] IchiFish, should i just copy rww's file into mine? [08:45] so, nobody can confirm if it is possible to browse windows shares using Ubuntu 8.10 ? [08:45] lartz: sorry, I was just being weird :P wine is an acronym for wine is not an emulator, technically speaking it's a compatibility layer [08:45] <_2> Rachid_ i'm willing to help you, if you will answer my questions [08:45] lartz: http://www.winehq.org/about/ [08:45] kunalagon: sorry, yes, it is [08:45] _2: reisFS [08:45] kunalagon: if you can't see it under places -> network, then try putting the info in manually in places -> connect to server [08:45] <_2> Rachid_ and mounted where ? [08:45] IchiFish: so the right command is http://pastebin.ubuntu/107645 ? [08:45] lartz: Anyway. Wine's compatibility has gotten better over the years, but it still has problems with some games. You can use the Wine AppDB ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ) to look up details. [08:46] IchiFish: I share some folder in WIndows, and I see my Windows machine, but when I double clikck, there is no folder there (using nauitlus) [08:47] Sorry if this is OT, but is there any truth to a "Obuntu" release for the inauguration? [08:47] kunalagon: that's odd, you're sure you've got things set up correctly? can other windows machines see them? [08:47] EF_Codd: No [08:47] ichifish> ok ;) rww> ok thanks i will check it out becouse i wanna know befor i jump in and starts to install and cant get my wow to work that would be the end of the world for me :-P [08:47] hi everybdy [08:47] Flannel ah ok [08:47] IchiFish: I have to try that... [08:47] _2: I first tried in an existing extended partition where there was unallocated space because I had already created many partition this week and it was always possible for me to use it right away [08:47] Flannel guess they are playing games in #debian again [08:47] <_2> Rachid_ and mounted where ? [08:47] one server run rsync as daemon, i use ps aux | grep rsync | grep -v grep to get the number of rsync. how can i caculate the real rsync number from this number? [08:47] CrownAmbassador: sudo -s; ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.88 up; route add default gw 10.0.0.2; echo 'nameserver 10.0.0.2' > /etc/resolv.conf [08:47] <_2> Rachid_ and mounted where ? i mean where are you mounting the filesystem you just created ? [08:47] CrownAmbassador: notice the semi colon after the sudo -s [08:47] well its automatically mounted as /media/data3 [08:48] lartz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft may be of help for WoW :) [08:48] oh yeah for those who may be interested: http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/linuxvideoconverter [08:48] <_2> Rachid_ ok, run this command, sudo chown $USER /media/data3 [08:48] Flannel so I guess the rumours of "Bushuntu" are also false? [08:48] EF_Codd: Indeed. I suggest future inquiries like this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:48] <_2> Rachid_ you now "own the partition" in your terminology [08:48] Flannel of course. Thank you for your patience. [08:49] rww> thanks :) [08:49] IchiFish: Okay. That finished without any output. Usually a good thing right? [08:49] _2: it says chown: cannot access `/media/data3': No such file or directory [08:49] CrownAmbassador: yup. now try pinging your router, see what happens [08:49] Rachid_: adapt the command to where it's mounted [08:49] <_2> Rachid_ then it's not mounted there. [08:49] ciao [08:49] does anybody in here have any experience getting dual monitors working? [08:49] <_2> Rachid_ you can use df -h to see where it is mounted [08:50] <_2> Rachid_ or mount [08:50] oops, right... i changed it so many times [08:50] ill try again [08:50] btw is a AMD1.8ghz 512mb-RAM 128mbGeforce to low to run the new ubuntu on? [08:50] lartz: plenty [08:50] !requirements | lartz [08:50] avantcore: if you have a specific question, ask it [08:50] lartz: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [08:50] avantcore, What exactly the problem? [08:51] eh I don't really have a good question to ask, I've just got this situation I'm dealing with [08:51] IchiFish: response is "connect: Nework is unreachable". Isn't that command I entered suppose to be in the resolv file now? [08:51] I can get both monitors to work if I'm not using fglrx [08:51] <_2> lartz i would certainly hope not. i run old ubuntu on a p1 100mhz 64mb ram [08:51] _2: root is still the owner and i cant even create a folder in this mounted partition [08:51] but I get flickering around the mouse which is really annoying [08:51] so I'm trying to use fglrx [08:51] and it works properly when gdm comes up [08:51] I'm trying to enable 3d cube on my desktop with compizconfig like I had last time but for some reason it's not working [08:52] CrownAmbasador: no, the resolv.conf thing was just to set the dns server information [08:52] but then when I log on it just starts mirroring [08:52] <_2> Rachid_ what is the mountpoint ? [08:52] CrownAmbassador: paste the output of ifconfig eth0 again somewhere [08:52] is there a channel for complaining about vista? :) [08:52] bobslaede: yes, #2,000 [08:52] bobslaede: ##windows [08:52] bob, google Vista Forums :p [08:52] nice! [08:52] _2: /media/sdfs [08:52] avantcore, System/Prefences/Screen resolution/disable mirror, and click on the monitor it shows, and drag it, sometimes second head hides behind the first. [08:52] So can I get help with my probllem? [08:52] luke_: no forums, instant complains! :) [08:53] avantcore: have you tried changing the stuff in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution (it has a "mirror screens" setting)? [08:53] Rachid_: should've mounted with different permissions [08:53] <_2> Rachid_ and sudo chown $USER /media/sdfs [08:53] _2: and i typped : sudo chown $USER /media/sdfs [08:53] hay when i updated ubuntu from 8.4 to 8.10 x no longer works [08:53] guys, anyone know how to configure Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller so that my PC doesn't hang whenever i need 3D? [08:53] Ahh my mistake, try vista chatrooms [08:53] <_2> Rachid_ and you aren't doing that from a root terminal ? [08:53] Spawn: will almost certainly be easier to just backup and reinstall [08:53] yes I've messed around with The screen Resolution preferences pane; only one monitor shows up there [08:53] IchiFish: My 3G connectin was running when I ran that command. Would this have caused a problem? [08:53] Rachid_: never mind, after sudo chown, what did it say? [08:53] So is anyone going to help with my 3d cube problem? [08:53] Thanks guys you have been a great help i will start to test the new ubuntu on my old pc insted :) [08:53] luke_: alright. they made me switch to vista at work :( im going crazy [08:54] CrownAmbassador: hmm...it shouldn't have, but come to think of it, network manager might have [08:54] moin [08:54] IchiFish: well now I have to adapt each time the proxy settings and want to have this done automaticly [08:54] bob, what for [08:54] CrownAmbassador: hang on a sec [08:54] avantcore, click on the one you see, and drag to the right, one often hides behind the other. [08:54] it does the same thing when i put in a live cd of ubuntu 8.10 [08:54] <_2> Rachid_ show me the output of mount | grep sdfs [08:54] syockit: nothing, just as if it was working [08:54] luke_: no idea, active directory stuff i guess [08:54] or anything with the new kernel [08:54] bobslaede: can you help me with compiz? [08:54] luke_: i have a load of 100% most of the time, because of the about 20 apps i have installed, so its useable :P [08:55] dragging to the right does nothing. I think I've experienced the hiding monitor box when I wasn't using fglrx so I don't think that's the issue [08:55] luke_: depends on your problem? [08:55] Ichifish: Hanking ;-) [08:55] I meant hanging! [08:55] <_2> Rachid_ and the output of ls -l /media/sdfs [08:55] Spawn: what error does it give? [08:55] Trying to enable 3d cube, for some reason it's still flat [08:55] bobslaede: tell them that with samba4, you don't have to worry about active dir compatibility [08:55] paul68: I don't know how to do this off the top of my head, search for ubuntu network profile setups [08:55] syockit: i told them... didnt work [08:55] _2: /dev/sda1 on /media/sdfs type reiserfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [08:55] with live cd it gives some pci error [08:55] Damn corporates! [08:55] luke_: sometimes you need to restart compiz for it to take effects, log out, and log back in [08:56] <_2> Rachid_ and the output of ls -l /media/sdfs [08:56] luke_: do you have the compiz settings manager installed? [08:56] CrownAmbassador: OK, I don't have network manager installed at the moment and I can't find anything obvious on google, try setting the information for eth0 manually to a static ip address [08:56] * syockit suspects uber business deals going around the top management [08:56] _2: ls -l /media/sdfs [08:56] ops [08:56] Spawn: "some pci error" -- that's not going to get you much help here. go find the error, write it down, come back, and tell us. [08:56] syockit: i agree [08:56] _2: total 0 [08:56] but with the update from 8.4 to 8.10 it gives aperture pointing to e820 ram. ignoring [08:56] CrownAmbassador: the relevant info will be ip address: 10.0.0.88; default gateway (or something similar): 10.0.0.2; dns servers (if it needs them) 10.0.0.2 [08:57] your bios doesnt leave a aperture memory hole [08:57] I have tried restarting. I have compizconfig settings manager running right now so yes [08:57] <_2> Rachid_ try with + before you paste so we can see it. [08:57] syockit: also, ironicly enough, we have php develpment servers running only thru ssh, so i need an app for that, and it takes like 80% of my cpu :) [08:57] please enable the iommu option in the bios setup this will costs you 64mb of ram [08:57] luke_: then i don't think i can help, i'm sorry [08:57] <_2> Rachid_ sorry the output of ls -dl /media/sdfs [08:58] luke_: im sure there is a #compiz channel around? have you tried there [08:58] <_2> Rachid_ the -d is important there. my mistake. [08:58] thats it [08:58] _2: gives "Total 0" [08:58] avantcore, i have 'multiple screens' installed on mine that i use, But i cant remember where to get it. [08:58] <_2> Rachid_ i don't think so. [08:58] How would I access that, I'm a newb :p [08:58] Spawn: did you look for that option in bios? [08:58] Rachid_: you didn't create the directory before mounting? [08:59] idk where i would look [08:59] IchiFish: So I just add a wired connection? It is asking for a Mac address, if it must use 802.1X security and the method of the ipv4 setting [08:59] So can anyone else help me with comizconfig? [08:59] _2: do you need to mkdir for mount? [08:59] luke_: /join #compiz [08:59] courpse: is that a separate program? [08:59] <_2> no [08:59] Spawn: when you reboot the computer, go into bios, usually the "del" key [08:59] and i also have vista installed and i dont want to mess that up talntid [08:59] CrownAmbassador: eek, I think you might be on the wrong screen [08:59] <_2> syockit if there is not dir mount will just fail with "mountpoint does not exist" [08:59] avantcore, Yes, im trying to find itnow. [08:59] _2: mount | grep sdfs gives "drwxr-xr-x 4 jean-francois root 80 2009-01-21 03:30 /media/sdfs" [08:59] hang on a second, I'll install network-manager to see how it works [08:59] it won't, and if it does, you can just disable it [08:59] I just found it in apt [08:59] I'll take a look at it [09:00] IchiFish: oops! I'm being so humbled today! [09:00] Thanks :) [09:00] <_2> Rachid_ "jean-francois" owns that dir(filesystem mounted there) now. [09:00] syockit: I create a partition and then after I see it in "computer" so then I double click on it and it opens [09:00] CrownAmbassador: ok, brb, apt needs to kill networking === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [09:01] <_2> Rachid_ so if you are user "jean-francois" do something like touch /media/sdfs/boo [09:01] CrownAmbassador, Does your 'ifconfig' give you a ip? [09:01] hi i have a small problem overe here [09:01] please [09:01] <_2> Rachid_ if no errors then we are done. [09:02] i wanted ti change my splash screen but i didnt find it on my prefrenceses [09:02] xcode: splash screen? [09:02] CrownAmbassador, type in Xchat: /exec -o ifconfig eth0 | grep inet === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [09:02] the splash screen [09:03] _2: typing this just created a file named boo (im logged as Jean-Francois) but I still cant drag and drop a file in this place [09:03] what's the command to give my group folder access - create and delete files, file access - read and write? [09:03] xcode: ubuntu has no splash screen. What are you referring to? [09:03] What means '61c61' in http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/393818/? (man diff stinks.) [09:03] <_2> Rachid_ correct. which means you own the filesystem [09:03] CoUrPsE|DeAd: The only thing it gives me is a hardware address. I'm not running Xchat on my linux laptop. Its on the works windows machine. [09:03] right, back [09:03] <_2> Rachid_ need anything else ? [09:03] aeosynth: chmod g+rw [09:03] the one that comesin the beginnong [09:04] xcode: you mean the ubuntu logo and progress bar? [09:04] _2: oh sorry, actualy i just drrag and drop and it has worked [09:04] yeah [09:04] i thinkg [09:04] xcode: before you logon? [09:04] !usplash | xcode [09:04] xcode: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [09:04] _2: but i still cant create any folder in this reisFS partiotion [09:04] !who [09:04] 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 :) [09:04] IcheFish: I'm just wondering. When we ran all those commands that I pasted, I was connected on 3G. Would this have made a difference? [09:05] xcode: check out startupmanager (sum) [09:05] CrownAmbassador, okies, System/Prefences/Network configuration [09:05] <_2> Rachid_ yes you can. mkdir -p /media/sdfs/testing/dir/creation [09:05] !startupmanager | xcode [09:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about startupmanager [09:05] aw [09:05] CrownAmbassador: on the network manager main pane, on the 'wired' tab, click edit when auto eth0 or whatever is selected, then navigate to the ipv4 settings tab, change the method to manual, click add, fill the address as 10.0.0.8, the netmask as 10.0.0.255, the gateway as 10.0.0.2, then click ok [09:05] CoUrPsE|DeAd: That is the same screen when I just click on the network manager. [09:05] !info startupmanager | aeosynth, xcode [09:06] startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.11-1 (intrepid), package size 88 kB, installed size 1016 kB [09:06] <_2> Rachid_ if your file manager is defuncted close it, (maybe logout and back in) then reopen it and try the gui way. [09:06] okies, IchiFish is back, i'll stop else u'l;l get confused. [09:06] _2: this works, but why can't I just create with the File Browser menu or right click in the window...as usual [09:06] _2: ? [09:06] I have installed the ubuntu server edition. Now can anyone tell me how to force the server to get an ip address on startup? I always must start dhclient by hand at the moment... [09:07] _2: Could it be corrupted? if yes can I reinstall it? [09:07] adac: edit the interfaces file and set it to use dhcp.. afaik that should be enough [09:07] adac: are you using wired ethernet or wifi? [09:07] CrownAmbassador: on the network manager main pane, on the 'wired' tab, click edit when auto eth0 or whatever is selected, then navigate to the ipv4 settings tab, change the method to manual, click add, fill the address as 10.0.0.8, the netmask as 10.0.0.255, the gateway as 10.0.0.2, then click ok [09:07] IchiFish: Done [09:07] rww, ethernet. Slart: where are they located? [09:07] CrownAmbassador: ah, ok, sorry, not sure if my message had got through [09:07] adac: then read "man interfaces" and edit /etc/network/interfaces appropriately [09:08] <_2> Rachid_ short answer is "because everyone keeps crying 'why wont it just work'(automatic) and the developer keep trying to make things more and more like windows, for the sake of all the 'why wont it just work' crap" [09:08] CrownAmbassador: now try pinging router [09:08] ok rww [09:08] IchiFish: Same thing. Should I not restart first? [09:09] Try ifconfig [09:09] see if it gives you ip./ [09:09] CrownAmbassador: hmm, you shouldn't have to. what does ifconfig eth0 say now? [09:09] adac: You'll probably end up adding two lines: "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp", but it's probably a good idea to read that man page anyway. [09:09] _2: I see... [09:10] i need the developers site for metapackages [09:10] thanks il try rebooting now [09:10] <_2> Rachid_ traditionally a linux user would expect to manually mount and dismount file systems so the developers didn't worry much about gui apps that worked with file needing to keep track of changes, but with the attempts of automating everything it kindof throughs a wrench in some of the "take for granted's" [09:10] one more time... [09:10] i still didnt get anywhere could someone tell me how can i change the ubuntu progress bar at the beginning please [09:11] IchiFish: CoUrPsE|DeAd: Still not getting an ip. http://paste.ubuntu.com/107656 [09:11] like tell me a a program name or anaything [09:11] xcode, you mean when your booting? [09:11] !info startupmanager | xcode [09:11] startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.11-1 (intrepid), package size 88 kB, installed size 1016 kB [09:11] yeah [09:11] xcode: install startupmanager [09:11] hello guys, i've just installed ubuntu 8.10, but i have no sound. i tried to test my sound in Applications --> sound . test it all but nothing is functioning. plz help [09:11] thats a boot theme [09:11] _2: Yes I dont really matter typping commands and thats how I was able to use this partition before going here, but I would be loosing time always doign that for a lot of multiple copying all day [09:12] man, your nic's borked... [09:12] Jonathan_R, xcode: "usplash theme", specifically. [09:12] yeah [09:12] CrownAmbassador: yeah, I think I'm going to concur with courpse on this one [09:12] i need the developers site for metapackages [09:12] _2: I was supprised it suddenly stopped working as usual [09:12] Jonathan_R: what do you mean by "developers site for metapackages"? [09:12] hello every body [09:12] Borked? [09:12] <_2> Rachid_ yes. well the change of ownership we made is permanant. so restarting your gui should fix all your woes [09:12] this is the ifrst time i try ubuntu; btw. please help me. i'm not familiar with linux systems. [09:12] is anyone here?:d [09:12] CrownAmbassador: if it's not even managing to bring itself up it sounds like a hardware problem [09:13] ok thanks [09:13] good night [09:13] there has to be documentation for metapackages, not geared for users [09:13] CrownAmbassador: paste the output of dmesg | tail somewhere [09:13] gagica: lots of people here.. if you have a questions about ubuntu just ask [09:13] start - hello [09:13] i'm working on a project, and i need specific info [09:13] i am new in ubuntu [09:13] and i am lost:(( [09:13] Jonathan_R: What do you want? A list of metapackages in Ubuntu, information on creating metapackages, etc... [09:13] anyone know what skb buffers are? [09:13] gagica: well, we've all been new to ubuntu.. what is your problem? [09:14] not creating metapackages [09:14] nobody seems to help me. bye guys. [09:14] Hi. How can I remove Places and System menu? Or even just remove entries from those menus? Right click does not work (which suck IMO). I have tried the menu editor but it only allow me to add/remove programs from the menu and not all entries. [09:14] i'm trying to generate a channel list, or a repo list [09:14] miranda_psi: google says it's a socket buffer [09:14] start - a have a lot of wuestion. my pc is gone crazy :(( [09:14] so that all a user would need to do is just click which repos they want [09:14] can any one help me [09:15] gagica: be specific with what you want help with [09:15] lol, 1k people in here and people want to be answered straight away. [09:15] i'm sure their is an xml file of something like this somewhere, but i need to know where the server is, and how ubuntu does it [09:15] i don't find my drive to ati radeon 9250 [09:15] rww: I think there is a command which writes those two lines: auto eth0 AND iface eth0 inet dhcp automatically in the /etc/network/interfaces file. But I added them by hand and it works now. thx rww and Slart [09:15] and a lot of programs [09:15] <_2> sl00 you could right click the panel and add the gnome menu then remove the existing menu [09:15] Jonathan_R: 1) What does that have to do with metapackages? 2) You mean something like System > Administration > Software Sources? [09:15] gagica: can you rephrase that? your drive? [09:15] adac: great =) [09:15] who want help me ? [09:15] gagica: do you mean your driver? [09:16] adac: There might be; I don't use Ubuntu Server ;) [09:16] yes [09:16] yes [09:16] driver [09:16] ati driver [09:16] gagica: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:16] is not compatible or what? [09:16] oo [09:16] sory [09:16] gagica: with ubuntu the video drivers tend to be installed automatically so you shouldn't have to worry about it [09:16] i didn't know [09:16] sory about that [09:16] IchiFish: do you know why virtualbox (I'm assuming that this caused the problem) would cause Iwlagn to give an error about them? [09:16] hi, is anyone using gnomesword? [09:17] hi there,is it possible to tell if a cronjob is currently running? [09:17] gagica: especially with a legacy card like the 9250 the drivers will be pretty stable by now so it all ought to come working out of the box [09:17] rww, i can show you an example from another distro [09:17] if u are sweet to help me my id id is blue_eyes8389@yahoo.com [09:17] <_2> AdvoWork pstree [09:17] but thats all i have at this point [09:17] AdvoWork: you can find running processes by using command "ps axuww | grep commandname" [09:17] miranda_psi: lwlagn? [09:17] rww, well there is not much a difference to normal ubuntu I would say. Only on installation...because my grafic card is half broken I could'nt see the option to set for the automatic dhclient activation, so i skipped that point on installation and now I had to set it by myself ;) [09:18] oCean_, so ps axuww | grep crontab ? [09:18] <_2> oCean_ that's ugly. pidof command-name [09:18] Jonathan_R: I'm honestly not sure what you're looking for. You ask about metapackages, which are packages whose function is to depend on a collection of other packages (like ubuntu-desktop depends on desktop-y things), then instead ask about repositories... [09:18] IciFish: thats what I saw coming out on the shell - [timecode] iwlagn: some error about skb buffer [09:18] AdvoWork: thought you wanted to see a job that you scheduled in the cron [09:18] _2: Where do I find the gnome-menu? I have two menu options when I choose "add to panel" and it is the single button one with Programsd, places and system under it and the other one which shows the icon and the program, places and system text in the panel. [09:19] is anyone using gnomesword? [09:19] AdvoWork: use /etc/init.d/cron status to see if cron is running [09:19] !anyone | Rencx [09:19] yes rww, but the info of metapackages are stored on servers [09:19] Rencx: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:19] miranda_psi: hmm, I'm really not sure then, I can't see any reason virtualbox would be using the network drivers unless it was trying to bridge [09:19] <_2> sl00 that maybe version specific, sorry. [09:19] what i'm actually looking for is the information that lets the user pick which repos they want [09:19] Jonathan_R: That has nothing to do with metapackages. [09:20] miranda_psi: could be that virtualbox is incompatible with your specific network card/driver === liangyie is now known as liangyie02 [09:20] _2: that pidinfo gives *me* too little info. I always use ps [09:20] IchiFish: its set up to NAT [09:20] AdvoWork, if you want to see if a command is started by a cron job you could set a log file on the crontab file [09:20] Does anyone use GnomeSword? [09:20] !anyone | Rencx [09:20] Rencx: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:20] lol. [09:20] from what i've seen it does, but maybe its different in ubuntu [09:20] Slow learner... [09:20] adac, just trying to work out why my systems running slow [09:20] Jonathan_R: Which other distribution have you seen this in? [09:20] i think its doing a backup, but cant tell [09:21] miranda_psi: paste the specific error you get to a pastebin somewhere [09:21] <_2> oCean_ yeah but all he seemed to want was to know what was cron doing pstree might be a good bet for that [09:21] weird. my wireless works for irc but not for web [09:21] rww, http://download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_111_Servers.xml [09:21] <_2> Rencx what about it ? [09:21] Jonathan_R: OpenSUSE uses RPM, which is completely different from Debian/Ubuntu's APT. [09:21] oCean_, i did /etc/init.d/cron status and it says: * Usage: /etc/init.d/cron start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload [09:21] i want something like that for ubuntu [09:21] All I want is two icons in the panel for Firefox and Ekiga and a logout/shutdown icon. I am trying to make a lock-down-kiosk thingy. [09:21] Jonathan_R: hence the terminology confusion, I'd guess ;) [09:21] this isnt about rpm [09:21] or anything else [09:21] AdvoWork, you could install htop which gives you more options and overview then top [09:21] i need info like that [09:22] <_2> Rencx or was that just a poll ? [09:22] * aceat64 is away: sleep [09:22] sl00: your best bet is to throw some quick crap around with pygtk and glade [09:22] <_2> shows letters wrong mâjvietu viòâ need to show mājvietu viņā. [09:22] Rudd-O: What?! [09:22] adac, a cron should run: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmbackup -f -a all thats what I want to check if its running [09:22] rww, i'm working on a project for smart package manager [09:22] Jonathan_R: APT doesn't use .xml files, so I doubt there's a file like that on the Ubuntu repository servers. [09:23] IchiFish: wish I could do that (and would have from the start), but my laptop was lagging badly by the time the errors came and then caused complete freeze (just a black screen) [09:23] SDF [09:23] this has nothing to do with rpm;s [09:23] Jonathan_R: what sort of project? [09:23] AdvoWork: than your cron (startup) script does not know the option 'status' - you are probably on a different version? Not 8.10? [09:23] IchiFish: my network controller is: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [09:23] think of it as a channel list generator [09:23] <_2> Rencx ah sorry i know nothing about the i18 on that. i set LC_ALL=C so can't help there. [09:23] Jonathan_R: You just said you're looking for a .xml file with (as far as I can tell) a list of Ubuntu repositories on it. There is, to my knowledge, no such file. [09:23] Rencx: you might want to talk to the developers about that.. look here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomesword/ [09:24] miranda_psi: that's weird, according to google iwlagn is a wireless interface. I can't think what it would be. are you using recent kernels/userland/virtualbox versions? [09:24] well, if ubuntu doesnt use xml, then i need to know what it does use so i can do that [09:24] Slart, _2: ok [09:25] Jonathan_R: what is it you¿re trying to do? [09:25] AdvoWork, set up your crontab with a log file and you see if the command did run or not. See some examples here http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm#Generate%20log%20file or even better here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [09:26] do a distro agnostic channel list generator for smart package manager Rudd-O [09:26] Jonathan_R: When Ubuntu's installed, the file /etc/apt/sources.list is created with a list of all official Ubuntu repositories for that release in it. Some are commented out by default. The user can change which repositories she wants to be active either manually or with the System > Administration > Software Sources tool. [09:26] IchiFish: my system has all updates installed (kernel 2.6.24-9, VBox OSE 2.04 (2.1 is out but not in the repositories)) [09:26] Jonathan_R: channel list generator? [09:26] yeah [09:26] you mean like in debian and ubuntu the channels are picked up from the apt conf? [09:27] (that's been my experience) [09:27] miranda_psi: and the error is reproduceable? your laptop dies everytime you try to launch virtualbox? [09:27] Jonathan_R: Unlike RPM-based distributions (as far as I remember), Ubuntu doesn't download a list of repositories from the web. [09:27] yeah rww i remember that, but thats because apt comes packaged like that [09:27] ok, point of order: NO distribution downloads a list of repositories. They come PRECONFIGURED with the repos, and download THAT. [09:27] IchiFish: its not when i load virtual box - its when Im trying to install an OS with it [09:27] that is true for ubuntu, fedora, rh, suse, etcetera [09:28] Rudd-O: I'll defer to you on non-Debian-based distributions. I haven't used Fedora or SuSE in a while. [09:28] rww: I use fedora [09:28] i only know of one distro that currently downloads their channels, and thats opensuse, but fedora seems to be moving that way [09:28] rww oh, I find those distros to be most distasteful [09:28] !offtopic [09:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:28] Jonathan_R: your best bet is simply to defer to the system¿s package manager channel list. i fedora is yum, in ubuntu apt, etcetera [09:28] Jonathan_R: okay, and Ubuntu doesn't, so we don't have an equivalent to that SuSE .xml file you linked me to. Does that answer your overall questions? [09:29] Rudd-O oh, so true. So, so true. [09:29] Flannel: it's ontopic, he is trying to develop an app for ubuntu and he is asking for help. toob bad the answer isn't all we've been hoping for [09:29] Rudd-O, that'd be kinda hard since i work for smart [09:29] miranda_psi: oh I see, what linux (I'm assuming linux?) are you trying to install with it? [09:29] and it'd also be pointless === AliTarihi1 is now known as AliTarihi [09:29] * _2 wonders where the !start-a-distro-war infonode wnet [09:29] <_2> went even [09:29] Jonathan_R ah, good point. [09:29] yes rww [09:29] Jonathan_R: I'd recommend talking to the people involved with Smart that have more experience with Ubuntu, and possibly also the creators of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/smartpm [09:30] Jonathan_R: you work for the guys at smart? awesome. [09:30] IchiFish: I'm actually trying to install Windows 7 beta (want to see what its like, but i dont want to ruin my system by installing it properly...) [09:30] lol i do [09:30] yes Rudd-O i do the documentation [09:30] what's the best way to describe to a newbie how to open a console window in Gnome. I'm not using Gnome so don't know. [09:30] and a few other things [09:30] EF_Codd: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [09:30] rww thanks [09:30] IchiFish: I have o intention of ever actually using it as my main OS, but one has to know the competition... [09:31] miranda_psi: that's really bizarre, I can't think what virtualbox would want to access kernel drivers for cards you don't have installed for... [09:31] <_2> EF_Codd or alt+f2 type in: x-terminal-emulator [09:31] miranda_psi: are you using virtualbox for ethical (open source yay) reasons? vmware server might fair better with windows enviroments [09:31] _2 no, I want him to stay 'windowed' [09:32] <_2> EF_Codd that will [09:32] IchiFish, miranda_psi: Windows 7 should work fine in VirtualBox. I installed it a month or so ago. [09:32] <_2> EF_Codd alt+f2 brings up the "run" input box [09:32] IchiFish: I would need the VMWare Workstation to do what I need... [09:33] IchiFish: well sir i use vbox for open source reasons :D is vmware good ? [09:33] _2 yeah thanks, he's got the command line happening now. Explaining it's not a 'notepad' atm [09:33] tv7497: if you can stick with open source it's probably better :) but yeah, I've found vmware fairly good [09:33] miranda_psi: have you tried a complete purge and reinstall of virtualbox? [09:34] IchiFish: Sorry, I got swamped with customers! What I don't understand is that I'm not the only one with this problem and it works fine with Hardy. I will find out what card the others are useing. Output: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/107622 [09:34] <_2> EF_Codd heh. yeah i hate that default "white" background [09:34] IchiFish: by access kernel drivers for cards i dont have do you mean wireless? I do have a wireless card and its just a basic intel one: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection, but im not using it to connect to anything [09:34] _2 ah, I'd forgotten that. I usually just use 'screen' and ssh into my boxes. That explains things heh [09:34] miranda_psi: ok, I suppose that's slightly less weird, at least it's something to do with something that's actually installed in your system [09:35] IchiFish: the main question thats haunting me sir why dont vbox or vmware provide graphics support so that games can be easily played is it to though sir ? [09:35] miranda_psi: try sudo rmmod iwlang before starting up virtualbox [09:35] tv7497: virtualbox supports accelerated opengl in their latest version [09:35] tv7497: because direct3d is complicated enough as it is without proving it in another operating system [09:36] Slart: does that mean i can play fifa sir ? [09:36] IchiFish: done a complete re-installation of everything (though i stuffed the system up with my messing around, but it turns out its a bug in wubi where it messed with UUIDs by having my firewire hdd plugged in but i had a fresh system by then...) [09:36] tv7497: I have no idea.. you'll have to try.. it's still pretty new so there might be some bugs [09:37] Slart: will try sir installation of fifa is going on in my vbox i will be really really happy if it works [09:37] does anyone know how i can get my wireless network card working whit ubuntu????? [09:37] miranda_psi: hmm ok, well try with the iwlagn module removed and see how it fairs then [09:37] stephan: which one sir > [09:38] hmm, this is getting ridiculous. What is the best way for me to remotely help a newbie with a default ubuntu install? I was going to ssh in, but he can't use the console [09:38] tv7497: You probably can play fifa, but under virtualbox, it'd be very sluggish [09:38] how can i see what the name is of the wireless network card in ubuntu,,,, can't find it in here [09:38] EF_Codd: Surely he can just install the ssh package, then you can ssh in [09:39] and i don't have the box here [09:39] Or just have him install VNC [09:39] is there a remote vnc install with Gnome? [09:39] !wireless | stephan [09:39] stephan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:39] pejay: how to make him install? [09:39] pejay the installing part is the part giving him problems [09:39] There *is* a GUI for that. [09:39] Two of them, in fact. [09:39] IchiFish: module removed... [09:39] * miranda_psi crosses fingers [09:39] folks, i have a javascript autocomplete field which i would like to post the value which was selected from the autocomplete.. echo $_POST['myFieldname'] doesnt post anything... any ideas [09:39] EF_Codd: yup. System > Preferences > Remote Desktop [09:39] Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal then 'sudo apt-get install ssh' [09:39] stephan: try lspci sir [09:39] gavi: Try ##javascript [09:39] SURELY he can manage that [09:40] the tricky part is getting them to forward a port [09:40] pejay ok, you tell him. gagica, ask pejay :) [09:40] gagica ask pejay [09:40] lol [09:40] lol [09:40] Hi! Could somebody help me to play FLV files on my system? When I try opening it with VLC, I get "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." [09:40] get ready to be amazed :-) [09:41] hai anyone know how to unzip a zip file [09:41] sandhya, try another player [09:41] sandhya: try install mplayer [09:41] suji: in CLI, unzip zipfile.zip, in GUI, right click, extract here [09:41] sandhya: mplayer [09:41] IchiFish: I take it i'm out of luck here? [09:41] !zip | suji [09:41] suji: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [09:41] gagica no more PMs. pejay is your connection to the high life [09:42] CrownAmbassador: whoops, sorry, I'd forgotten to check [09:42] IchiFish: Okay... No problem, I can see you're multi-tasking... [09:42] gagica just ask him what you asked me. Please. [09:42] CrownAmbassador: can you post it again? the old one seems to have been overwritten [09:42] aprilhare: IchiFish: igogo: I'm getting an error in mplayer "Cannot find codec for audio format 0xA" [09:42] EF_Codd: it's ok, I'm talking to gagica [09:42] I don't see any video either :( [09:42] * miranda_psi leaps with joy [09:43] EF_Codd: it's ok, I'm ALSO talking to gagica [09:43] :S [09:43] IchiFish ok. I lack the patience [09:43] ichiFish: thanks - that seems to work :D [09:43] sandhya: how bizarre, are you sure the video isn't corrupt or something? [09:43] miranda_psi: wonderful :) [09:43] ah, I told him I'd get him help :) [09:43] IchiFish: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/107665 [09:43] IchiFish: how do I reload the module if i ever need it? [09:43] miranda_psi: modprobe iwlagn. if you don't want it loading on boot add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:43] IchiFish: it plays fine on windows [09:44] sandhya: hmm, not sure then, if neither vlc nor mplayer can play it, that's extremely unusual [09:44] but they both support FLVs on linux, right? [09:44] sandhya: yeah, they should do [09:44] I've played FLVs before in Linux [09:44] might just be an unusual format [09:45] CrownAmbassador: ok, we'll give it one more shot before I declare it definitively a hardware problem [09:45] sandhya: Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras. I have that installed and FLV works fine. [09:45] CrownAmbassador: ok, hang on, I'll just look up the module for your NIC [09:45] IchiFish: Don't you mean a hardware compatibility problem? [09:45] IchiFish: thanks for the help :) [09:46] IchiFish: Okay. How do you do that? (for future reference) [09:46] miranda_psi: hey, it's what nice people on the internet are for :) good luck with windows 7 [09:46] Does ubuntu come with a 3D option? [09:46] rww: I already appear to have it installed [09:46] CrownAmbassador: well, could be either. anyway... [09:46] sandhya: hmm. Do you have a link to the FLV file you're trying to play? [09:47] CrownAmbassador: do lsmod | grep -i bcm and paste the output somewhere [09:47] IchiFish: I just find a hardware issue difficult to believe as it works perfectly with other operating systems and hardy. [09:47] CrownAmbassador: have you tried it recently with other OSes/hardy? could it have died recently? [09:48] IchiFish: yeah - usually I'm on the other side of the fence though (its the great thing about communities such as this one :)) [09:48] Does Ubuntu come with a 3D desktop option? [09:48] xxCody: 3D as in what? 3d desktop cube? [09:48] Yes. [09:49] Yes it does, by deafault [09:49] xxCody: enable desktop efffects [09:49] xxCody: install the compiz settings from synaptic and you can set it up from there [09:49] xxCody: yes it does: system->preferences->appearance, visual effects, extra [09:49] System -> Preferences -> Appearance [09:49] rww: I've messaged you the link [09:49] IchiFish: that command doesnt return anything. Hardy live CD works perfectly in it and I has windows installed last week (just for a day don't worry hehe) and it worked. It stopped the moment I changed to ibex [09:49] . [09:50] CrownAmbassador: ah, I see [09:50] Rudd-O , how do i enable desktop afects. [09:50] can anyone one recommend a good external harddisk that works well with ubuntu? [09:50] hello all. [09:50] miranda_psi how do i do it through synaptic. [09:50] sandhya: hmm. Does it work in your browser or is it broken there too? [09:50] xxCody: in one of the preferences menu [09:50] I think appearance [09:50] dayo_ any one I've had always works well [09:50] Im in appearance. [09:50] kj4: USB? [09:50] The only thing for visualis Non Normal and Extra. [09:51] I have Extra ticked. [09:51] yes, and a firewire one I have [09:51] But it does not give me an option. [09:51] kj4: ok, thanks! [09:51] For Cube. [09:51] Hi every one [09:51] !ccsm | xxCody: to enable the compiz cube, use ccsm [09:51] xxCody: to enable the compiz cube, use ccsm: 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 [09:52] <``dacium> Hi, can someone pls help. I am trying to set a varible in a .sh shell script, for example i do: MYVAR=FOO , but when the .sh file finishes and i type echo $MYVAR it gives nothing? [09:52] rww: It's fine in firefox.. broken in Opera (the player works fine, but no video) [09:52] I am not able to ssh & https access to my one server, then I have restart that server [09:52] rww , thanks [09:52] rww: I can't get full screen in either browser though [09:52] xxCody: search for compiz in synaptic and install the settings manager - it will allow you to add and remove various effects and configure how they work [09:52] ``dacium: that's intended behavior, I think. Try asking in #bash. [09:53] ``dacium: You need to export the variable for it to be accessable outside a script [09:53] export MYVAR=foo; [09:53] rww: actually, I can get full screen in FF.. but it's laggy [09:53] or, when you run the script do: [09:53] source ./script.sh [09:53] pejay: dammit, it's embarressing that I've been linux that long and didn't know that that's how it worked [09:53] np :) [09:54] then swa follwing error " ata: translatted ata start error 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00" can any one tell me what this error stands for & what is the solution.

[09:56] !anyone | stephan [09:56] stephan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:56] rww: this is KDE - I have kaffeine and dragon player. Doesn't work on either [09:56] how does adept manager work??? [09:57] If restart my server then I got this error " ata: translatted ata start error 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00" can any one tell me what this error stands for & what is the solution. [09:57] can annyone tell me how adept manager works??? [09:57] stephan, sure [09:57] sandhya: ah. I don't use KDE, so I'm not sure how to configure those programs. If nobody else here knows, try asking in #kubuntu; more people there use KDE. [09:57] stephan, its a front end for apt [09:57] stephan: I believe adept is for Kubuntu and Synaptic for Ubuntu... I might be wrong [09:57] i can't write to my external drive (ntfs). it auto mounts fine, ntfs-3g is installed, ntfs-config is installed and write support has been enabled. any ideas?

[10:31] Well, you talked about AD 2003 [10:32] suji: vim knows 2 modes. Editing mode (which lets you insert text) and command mode (in editing mode, hit and use commands, like :w to save and :x to save and quit) [10:32] so I'm assuming you do CE as well.

[10:34] the6step: which you do either in Synaptic -> "Manage Repositories" or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list [10:34] the6step: you need to remove/disable the CDROM repositories and enable/add some internet repositories [10:35] then tell synaptic/apt-get to refresh the package lists [10:36] SlimeyPete: looks like it's doing the trick, thank you [10:36] that was extremely aggravating [10:37] i shouldn't have an entry in fstab for my external hdd (ntfs), right? where is write permission set for external drives then?

[10:44] xubuntu 8.04 [10:44] sorry [10:45] where TB = Thunderbird [10:45] how to uninstall a program using command [10:45] suji: sudo apt-get purge packagename [10:45] suji: apt-get remove packagename [10:45] suji: apt-get remove package [10:46] e.g. "apt-get remove kopete" to remove the package called "kopete" [10:46] oh, and you'll need to use sudo. "sudo apt-get remove kopete" [10:46] kk i use sudo only do that thank u [10:47] s0undt3ch: because as far as I can see, neither libapache2-mod-wsgi nor any of the packages it depends on depend on mysql-common or libmysqlclient15off [10:49] aloha, people [10:50] Hello together [10:50] i've a question about installing packages [10:50] in fact, how do I know which package to choose [10:50] do you speak german or english here ? [10:50] ubuuser: English only in this channel, German only in #ubuntu-de [10:50] imagodei: Well, what are you trying to install? [10:51] i'm trying to install XEN enabled kernel on ubuntu 8.04 server [10:51] i have an problem with my installation from LTSP [10:51] and with apt-cahce search xen I get dozens of results [10:51] and i'm lost [10:51] apt-cache search xen | grep image |grep `uname -r` [10:52] pxe boot does not work === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [10:52] imagodei: linux-image-xen, probably, but I don't use xen so I'm not sure [10:52] yeah, but there's ubuntu-xen-server, too [10:53] rprettyman, I'm newb so bare with me... What does that do? [10:53] I mean [10:53] I know [10:53] but as a result [10:54] Can somebody help me to find the error ? [10:54] imagodei: oh, wait, l-i-xen isn't available in 8.04. [10:55] i am looking for a theme like "human" but with colors (maybe just gray) for inactive window title bars - the standard theme makes inactive windows look "flat", because it draws the title bars in the same color as the window color. i have been looking for a while now and cant find any. i would be very happy about a link or a hint, where i can get such a theme. [10:55] imagodei: looks like, since you're using hardy, you should install ubuntu-xen-server. You can read the package description at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-xen-server [10:56] Hey, I wish to receive Email notification when ever a word appears on a website [10:56] I mean on a specific page [10:56] rww, oh cool [10:56] imagodei: apt-cache search xen (search for xen) | (pipe out to ) grep image (only show result that include the frace or word image) | (pipe to ) grep `uname -r` (ticks tell it to execute uname -r give the kernel version you currently have with tell it to only show results with the current kernel version) [10:56] does anyone know of a way I could I achieve this? [10:56] Arney: Setup a cron job with a little bash script [10:56] Something like: [10:56] Arney: you'd need a bot, that scans the page over and over again [10:57] arg, no I don't want to run a program [10:57] is there a way i can mount an external HD thats on UFS in ubuntu? === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [10:57] if [ $(curl http://www.bbc.co.uk | grep -i obama) ]; then [10:57] Arney: if the page doesnt offer such a function, you need the bot [10:57] sendmail me@me.com <<< [10:57] To: blah@blah.com [10:57] Subject: EMAIL ME! [10:57] I want a web service that does that, or better yet a php script that searches a site for a word and returns an RSS feed [10:57] etc etc etc [10:58] Arney: can you write php? [10:58] ya [10:58] Should be very easy with PHP [10:58] just file_get_contents($website_url) [10:58] and use string matching functions to check [10:58] eg stristr() [10:59] hum... that's not a bad idea [10:59] there is a French IRc for ubuntu [10:59] rww, rprettyman, ubuntu-xen-server seems fine. But as a concept, how do I tell which one is correct and/or why are there several other packages. Like packages with kernel names [10:59] Arney: http://li.php.net/manual/de/function.fopen.php [10:59] file_get_contents would be easier, it reads the contents of a file or URL straight into a variable [10:59] hi [10:59] I was thinking more of making it return results to an rss file with the text sorrounding it as an entry [11:00] hard to decide on which would be better [11:00] well I have a weexend prokect in my hands... [11:00] Arney: pejay's method looks quite cool. i had problems with some web servers, that didnt allow me to access external pages. this is the only diffulty [11:01] my webserver is cool with that [11:01] rww, rprettyman, Or, for instance, could I install kernel, hypervisor and tools separately and perhaps mess up things? [11:01] I actually made a script to call a page 10K times to fool a download counter [11:02] the host dint complain after running it 20 times [11:02] imagodei: depending on what you want, each one is a different package or kernel, you can only run one kernel at a time and ubuntu automaticly updates your bootloader so in theory you can install several kernel with out much hard, its just a hasle and posibily dangerous to your system and to bounce between them depending on what modules your using and how you installed them [11:02] Arney: what i meant is, either you can read in http stuff or not. if it works, then you just get the html and search it for the string you are looking for. [11:03] preg_match_all [11:03] :) [11:03] what I mean is, I can read http stuff... [11:03] Arney: then go for it. 10 lines of code. [11:03] I gotto go to school... [11:03] in 50 mins [11:03] That's 5mins per line of code [11:03] wth ill do it [11:03] You'll be fine [11:03] :) [11:03] :P [11:03] pejay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:03] !who [11:03] 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 :) [11:04] how can i make inactive window bars darker than the window color with the "human" theme? [11:04] rprettyman, hmmm, I find package descriptions lacking clarity. Or perhaps it's just me being newbie [11:04] php has no built in rss facilities... [11:05] ima snach a scirpt from.. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=32265 [11:05] rprettyman, for instance, how do I know which kernel gets installed if I install ubuntu-xen-server package? [11:05] imagodei: you can get a better description here http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [11:06] Arney: rss is easy to create. you just have to write to a file with the correct tags. http://www.w3schools.com/rss/rss_channel.asp [11:06] I have a laptop with fresh up to date intrepid that worked perfectly. After xserver restart it now won't respond to built in keyboard or mouse pad, external usb mouse or an external usb keyboard. someone have any pointers ? [11:06] hm1 the thing is a need a php script to generate that file [11:07] arney: thats trivial [11:07] hi there, does anyone know how good syncing a windows mobile device with ubuntu works? [11:07] imagodei:on intrepid it looks like linux-image-server (= 2.6.27.9.13) [11:07] what would be the correct way to apt-pin a repository which is local (given as deb file:/dir/path in sources file), i want any debs in that dir to override any other source [11:07] rprettyman, thanks. [11:08] I can boot from desktop livecd and everything is fine. what setting should I go looking at ? [11:08] imageodei: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-xen-server ubuntu-xen-server just installs several packages listed here [11:08] hi, how can i know the packages that are never used in order to free some space ? [11:09] ive managed to mount a UFS external HD in ubuntu, but am i right in thinking you cant stop it being read only? as im getting: mv: cannot remove `links.txt': Read-only file system [11:09] Koordin, tried sudo apt-get autoremove ? [11:09] rprettyman, oh I see.. The ones with red circle get installed? (Depends) [11:09] that will remove unused packages and their dependencies [11:09] imagodei: yes [11:09] hai [11:09] rprettyman, thanks a bunch [11:09] Do I need to install bind9 to set up the hosting of my domain or just point the dns-server to my own static ip? [11:10] imageodei: if you look at the list of files that package actualy is empty is just installs those other packages as dependencies [11:10] ickis: you don't need bind, just point [11:10] rprettyman, where do I see that list? [11:11] where do I look to see why a previously working install no longer responds to keyboard or mouse ? [11:11] and what if I also need to set up the mailserver [11:11] ? [11:11] ickis: your server hostname is overruled by the ip that the dns resolves to it, and bind would do nothing in your case [11:11] rprettyman, found it... On the bottom [11:11] ickis: that would be handled by the dns server as a mail name [11:12] so when should I use bind? [11:12] ickis: when you get your own isp or when you have multiple servers being resolved by dns records in a large domain [11:12] hi all.. i have a cdma pcmcia card that I want to install in my laptop running intrepid - need help [11:13] rprettyman, so as a concept, whenever installing any package, it may take some researching... [11:13] i use bind as a local dns-cache. without bind (dhcp telling my clients the address of the ISP's DNS server), every resolving takes much longer [11:13] ok, thanks a lot [11:13] yes veloc1ty i know ; but there are packages that are considered as used by apt-get but that i don't use [11:13] now I'll see how to configure Apache to serve different applications [11:13] umm....why is it that I just downloaded the ubuntu ISO but it doesn't fit on a 700 MB disc? [11:14] imagodei: at first but your figure it out more as you go along their are some conventions what did you need the xen kernel for, have you considered using a normal virtualization server like vmware or virtualbox instead of xen [11:14] Donfuria: how large is the iso file? [11:14] It's 698 MB [11:14] Donfuria: maybe you already wrote data to the disc before? (multisession thingy) [11:14] but Nero (shame on me for using it) tells me it needs more [11:15] any help with setting up pcmcia intrepid installation? [11:15] hm1 just unwrapped my cd [11:15] rprettyman, I am an admin in a firm, working primarily with Microsoft platform, but I'm trying out linux and I want to learn about XEN :) [11:16] Donfuria: sounds strange. maybe your nero doesnt feel well today. try another software, you can get a portable burning software on www.portableapps.com [11:16] imagodei: welcome to the dark side! [11:16] pejay, so far so good. I like ubuntu [11:16] Donfuria: you may need to look around for an overburn option. if CDs use the same 1,000,000 logic that harddrives do, 698Mb is going to be too big [11:16] Donfuria: nero sucks, google "How to burn an ISO", and the first link that comes up, has instructions on how to do it w/ several freeware apps. [11:16] imagodei: Our manager has specifically asked us to stop showing the windows admins stuff [11:16] hm1; just saw the back of my cd and it looks like something actually IS written on it [11:16] imagodei: because they end up not wanting to do windows admin anymore :) [11:16] so I'm trying again with another disc [11:17] pejay, except at home, I can't get WiFi NIC to work. It's broadcom chipset, bcm4306 and I just can't figure it out [11:17] looks like its working, thanks anyway [11:17] pejay, hehe [11:17] Donfuria: yw [11:18] it's burning already [11:18] hello [11:18] is it true that vmware server 1.6 takes less RAM than 2.0? [11:18] pl.. any help here? [11:18] imagodei: have you read the wiki?.. the broadcom devices are apparently much easier w/ 8.10 (thats just m understanding) [11:19] now while I'm here, I've got feisty fawn installed on my other partition but somethings terribly wrong with it so that's why I'm going to make a clean install... How would you guys advise me to do it? [11:19] imagodei: oh, it seems to be getting fairly popular [11:19] Kartagis, vbox takes less :) [11:19] why does apt-get keep the packages linux-generic of the later versions ? [11:19] IndyGunFreak, hmmm. I think I have 8.10 at home. [11:19] Donfuria: i would simply reformat the partition [11:19] Donfuria: from within the boot cd [11:19] rprettyman: what is? Linux? [11:19] imagodei: well, its hard to help when you're not in front of the machine [11:19] hm1: That's an option on the livecd right? [11:19] oh rite [11:19] imagodei: if theres no linux driver you can always use a windows one with a wrapper [11:20] robin0800 stop cursing [11:20] Deany, vbox doesn't work properly for me [11:20] Donfuria: i dont know the wizards... i always do the partitioning manually. if you know, what partitioning means, its an easy task [11:20] Somebody some experience with LTSP pxe-boot ? [11:20] robin0800: i dn't believe that works so well w/ the broadcom devices, because of the firmware upgrade required, not sure though [11:20] robin0800: ? [11:20] Kartagis, shame. maybe i can help. [11:20] any help with pcmcia and intrepid???? [11:20] i feel like a little girl, when it comes to linux [11:21] imagodei: XEN, it seems to be gaining popularity, were still using vmware here [11:21] imagodei: have you tried? [11:21] I now know how our secretary feels like, when I try to explain some Windows stuff to her, hehe [11:21] hm1: There's a partition of about 10gb but they do contain some old kernels.. Ur saying I can format the partition with the livecd rite? [11:21] h1m I got the rss working [11:21] vette: if nobody answers here, it probably means, they dont know how to do it. did you try the ubuntu forums already? i assume, there would be a tutorial for pcmcia [11:21] http://oldarney.com/Makerss.php [11:21] rprettyman, yeah. I like oss [11:21] Donfuria: yes [11:22] now to get the searching on.. [11:22] I might just make a full webservice by the end of the week [11:22] !who > Arney [11:22] Arney, please see my private message [11:22] none other exist... [11:23] rprettyman, plus I tried out ESXi server, and it just won't recognise the network. No console, if I understand correctly, so there's nothing to configure. I deleted it and installed ubuntu server, now trying to install XEN [11:23] ok it's done...should the livecd boot automatically? [11:23] Arney: also not hitting enter every 3 words is helpful, it causes unecessary scrolling in an already busy channel. [11:23] yes. looked every where - hoped to find some help here :( thnx tho' [11:23] Donfuria: if its done right, have you never installed ubuntu before? [11:23] Deany, for starters, vbox didn't recognize my laptop numeric keys when installing windows in it [11:23] hey i this problem Ubuntu 8.10 every now and again X crashes and all that shows in the log is this http://pastebin.ca/1314554 Does anyone know what might be wrong? [11:23] yes I have but it's been 2 years ago IndyGunFreak [11:23] robin0800, tried what? Wrapper for win driver? [11:24] oh... like riding a bike. [11:24] Arney: you will want to have a RSS icon in the address bar of the browser, too. this is done with a tag in the section, like [11:24] ok, I'm gonna try it, I'll report if it worked afterwards [11:24] imagodei: yes ESXi has limited hardware support, probably because of their size constrant goals, but xen seems to have some trouble with windows vm's, but i'd imagine if you were strickly using it for unix/linux vm's it would be fairly solid [11:24] ok, I almost forgot what it was to be in a a channel with under 5000 people, jk. cool, thanks hm1 [11:24] does anyone have any experience with this ext hdd on ubuntu: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2334493,00.asp [11:25] thank you. [11:25] hi all [11:25] HI! [11:25] dayo_: i have 3, they all work fine... but whats your question? [11:25] can someone help me with the networkmanager [11:25] phimic: ? [11:26] i get device is not managed [11:26] phimic: maybe. [11:26] sabdfl [11:26] i have ubuntu 8.10 fresh install [11:26] phimic: open up console type ifconfig [11:26] phimic: wireless or wired [11:26] imagodei: ndiswrapper [11:26] rprettyman: wired [11:26] is ratpoison supposed to default to x-terminal-emulator? [11:26] phimic: Paste output of: cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep auto [11:26] IndyGunFreak: i'm about to order for one, but my colleague said "Seagate's been doing some funny stuff with Ubuntu." [11:27] phimic: yeah go ahead and try "ifconfig | grep eth0" [11:27] Alright folks, anyone know how to pass logon username and password credentials to a telnet session? [11:27] auto lo [11:27] auto eth0 [11:27] robin0800, yeah, I feel like a little lost girl, right :D [11:27] mick02, when it's asked, supply it [11:27] phimic: sudo dhclient [11:27] Alright folks, anyone know how to pass logon username and password credentials to a telnet session through a script??? [11:27] dayo_: well i don't knoww hat he means by that, i have a 500gig seagate in my main pc, and my external drives, are 500gig each, 1 Seagate, 2 WD, all work fine [11:27] if I'm running a headless server, do I need consolekit and dbus installed? [11:27] rprettyman: i use static ip [11:28] powner I'm trying to automate the login through a script [11:28] phimic: ping -c3 google.com [11:28] IndyGunFreak: ok cool. i'll go with it, then [11:28] thank u [11:28] telnet doesn't pass credentials on connect [11:28] guys guys i just downloaded tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run how should i make this run ? [11:28] dayo_: the internal seagate, and the external seagate are both sata, while the WDs' are IDE.. don't know i that would make a difference, don't think so though [11:28] mick02: probably with 'expect'. it's not 'done' to pass them as arguements, as it'll result in the password showing up in the list of running processes [11:28] you have to parse their output and send input [11:28] phimic: oh "sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces [11:28] " [11:28] ok and then [11:28] guys anyone ? [11:28] phimic: scratch that "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" [11:29] So there's no way to log on to a telnet session and pass the logon credentials using a script then? Thanks shauno [11:29] dayo_: have you looked at tigerdirect or newegg, i bet you can get a better price than that [11:29] there is [11:29] umm hi, I restarted but just Grub came up and it just booted in ubuntu.. [11:29] you just have to recognise the last part of the string when it asks for it [11:30] shauno, what about something like this ... sleep 3; echo username; sleep 3; echo password; sleep 5; echo "ls -l"; sleep 3; echo "exit") | telnet hostname [11:30] no cd option whatsoever.. [11:30] phimic: if your using static and no wireless, disable network manager, in gnome, System>Preferences>Session [11:30] bazhang: sir i just downloaded tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run how should i make this run ? [11:30] tv7497: use package mgr to install [11:30] Donfuria: is your Optical drive set as first in your boot sequence? [11:30] ok, folks, thanx. bbl [11:30] phimic: does the interfaces file have the settings for your adapter? [11:31] IndyGunFreak: how do I get into my bios again? [11:31] Donfuria: well that i really don't know, most of the time, its either DEL or F1 while the PC is booting === ward_ is now known as Wardje [11:31] ok, let's try that [11:31] tv7497: (sudo apt-get install package) is the preferred way. If you really need to run the script you downloaded, make it executbable (chmod +x blah.run) then execute the script ./blah.run [11:31] donfuria: restart your computer, del esc f12 f2, hit them all or read the screen for a setup or bios key [11:31] tv7497: the execute bit may not be set. look at the "chmod" command. if youre in a terminal window. you can only call programs, that are in the path. if not in the path, but in you working directory, you need to prepend ./ before the name of the program like me@mypc/~ $ ./PROGNAME === jamie is now known as Guest67219 [11:32] is there another lightweight wm that only uses keybinds other than ratpoison? [11:35] Hi! I'm about to reinstall Ubuntu (messed up everything....). What filsystem do you suggest I use? [11:35] ackbahr ext3 [11:35] depends on the media and the version imo [11:35] powner: there are a few just make a google search and you will find them look http://tuxtraining.com/2008/10/20/an-introduction-to-tiling-window-managers [11:35] koshari: What are the advantages over reiserFS? [11:36] hm1: , oCean_ sir i ran chmod a+x on it and ran it from terminal i get this sir http://122.167.74.216 [11:36] rofl [11:36] ackbahr its still supported for one. [11:36] /msg nickserv register [11:36] koshari: Good point :) [11:36] it's also better with small files IIRC [11:37] hello all, is there a virtualbox room on this server? [11:37] ok, thanks.... Going to backup all my stuff and reinstall, bye! [11:37] tv7497: i see "[[: not found" - i am not certain, but it looks like there was a if command using [[ instead of [ (which is a link to the "test" program) [11:38] hm1: it worked sir but how do i join to a server sir ? or how do i play the game ? [11:38] tv7497: sorry, i have no idea [11:39] tv7497: did you use aptitude to install? [11:39] of those tiling window managers, do you have an opinion on which is supported best by ubuntu? sry new to the distro [11:40] oCean_: no sir i downloaded it from their website sir any idea how to connect to a server or how to start the game [11:40] tv7497: No, but i would suggest using apt for installation. (sudo apt-get install package) [11:40] cerberus12345, what do you need to know [11:40] is it possible to update from 6.04 to 8.04 via a cd? seems like the mirrors are broken and i am unable to update the normal way. every time i want to apt-get install something it says 404 not found [11:40] oCean_: okie sir === tomd is now known as Guest1113 [11:42] i would like to get rid of the /home/MYNAME/Documents folder. can i safely delete it? [11:42] yezariael: it may be possable but i wouldnt think your chances off success would be very good. [11:42] Does anyone know hoq to get a sierra wireless air card 881 to work with ubuntu8.10? [11:42] perlsyntax what chipset does it have [11:42] i show you the link [11:43] yezariael: I haven't tried it myself, but have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade%20from%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS [11:43] hello, just uninstalled wine-doors by error however i have noticed that wine has stopped working also, even after a reinstall? [11:44] http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Sierra+Wireless+AirCard+881&q_sku=sku1070083 this is the card i got [11:44] i not sure what the chip is [11:44] yezariael: it does have a 'upgrade using the alternate cd/dvd' section with it, I'm not just trying to be annoying :) [11:44] check the pci id on lspci [11:44] koshari,what you think? [11:44] how can i put weather information in conky of ubuntu? [11:45] anybody can help me ? [11:45] ? [11:45] shauno: wonderful, that should solve my problem. thx a ton. [11:45] god might [11:45] he can read minds [11:45] doubt that. [11:45] i heard [11:46] koshari, you there? [11:46] exit [11:47] i do iwlist wlan0 scanning and nothing is found allthought im 100% sure there are networks within range [11:47] what do i do next? i dont want to use network-manager [11:47] are you in managed mode? [11:47] im not sure how to check [11:47] hello [11:47] iwconfig says [11:47] it allways worked before [11:47] powerball, Mode:Manage [11:47] d [11:48] koshari, i not sure where the sim card slot is.

Say you have saved openoffice documents on the windows partition. If while booted into Ubuntu you mount the windows partition, can you copy those openoffice documents over to the home directory without compromising them? [11:54] do you get "Operation not supported" anywhere [11:54] ward1983 [11:54] Commie_Cary: No (IIRC, no ARM ports of any kind). But you have Debian and Android as alternatives. Personally I think OS2008 is fine. [11:54] powner, nope [11:55] which driver are you using? [11:55] achadwick, you can run ubuntu on ARM devices aswell [11:55] powner: why not using nicks before typing message? [11:55] cos i'm a newb [11:55] oCean_: =P [11:56] oCean_: seems so quiet in here, never figured i'd need it [11:56] powner: ah well, you seem to get the hang of it :) It makes the channel more readable [11:57] any idea why I can't run ssh forwarded X11 applications on a particular machine? I'm getting "Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0"... I already copied the sshd_config from another working ubuntu machine to the not-working machine but it's still not working... [11:57] Commie_Cary, http://leapster.org/linux/armbuntu/ [11:57] Commie_Cary, dont try it if you are new to linux [11:57] Commie_Cary, Ward1983: quite so. Ignore me. [11:57] yo yo yo [11:57] achadwick, no problem its just not widely known [11:57] pwuertz: type "xhost +" before you start your ssh session [11:57] anybody here got an hdmi graphics card working? [11:58] the DISPLAY string localhost:10.0 seems to be fine, thats what I'm getting an any other remote system [11:58] Commie_Cary, debian's ARM port is a better choice though imo, i had that myself on my PDA and it worked very nicely [11:58] ActionParsnip, ahhh the getto santa, hi [11:58] guys, if a window of an app is minimised, does the x server still draw it so it is ready for maximisation or is it only drawn when it is maximised? [11:58] oCean_: does not fix :/ [11:58] hi there [11:58] hi shams_ [11:59] i have some problems with my usb tv tuner Avertv volar ax. My distr is ubuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-9 on notebook. i can't my tv tuner work it out.

[11:59] pwuertz: i typo'd "you are on display 10.0" ? [12:00] pwuertz: locally you can start x applications? "e.g. xclock" ? [12:00] AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. [12:00] no option in google [12:00] oCean_: no.. I think thats just the way sshd handles X11 forwards nowdays [12:00] sure ^^ [12:00] onats: if you mount the network folder, yes sure [12:00] pwuertz: no [12:00] onats: mount it with smbmount then you can access it like any other data on your system [12:00] i'm interested in setting a framebuffer background and setting an offset to the text on my console, anyone? [12:00] oCean_: locally: DISPLAY=:0.0 [12:00] hi all. I'm searching for a magnification tool that can help me see flash movies in full screen mode. When using flash player maximize functionality it's slow, unwatchable. [12:01] pwuertz: those are different things. You need to give the (remote) application 'access' to the xclient @your display [12:01] onats: i'd burn it as slow as you physically can as the data coming over the lan will be hugely slower than the burn so you need to give the data chance to come down the line [12:01] ActionParsnip, somethings wrong though.. whenever i navigate into the mounted network drive, brasero/k3b closes/crashes... [12:01] i remember seeing a nice gentoo one years ago - something like that - edges of my screen are a bit fuzzy sometimes [12:01] pwuertz: so that is also your $DISPLAY?

[12:03] googling too [12:03] When delegating a domain to my own Ubuntu server, should I repeat the static ip in both dns name and ip? [12:03] Ryan_Delaney: have you checked the sampling rate in winecfg? [12:04] Ryan_Delaney: check the appdb for compatibility, I'd ask in #wine for wine support [12:04] Ryan_Delaney: that gave me a similar problem in spotify [12:04] why does it show harald1, when /whois haraldw shows, that it is me? [12:04] ActionParsnip, is there a choice on the protocol on how i mount it? i believe SMB is slow? [12:04] jav: No. If that were the problem would it cause it to work 99% of the time with only occasional crashes? [12:04] Jav: Also, in the short term, how can I make this choppy noise go away? [12:04] what would be the correct way to apt-pin a repository which is local (given as deb file:/dir/path in sources file), i want any debs in that dir to override any other source [12:04] onats: its fine [12:04] Ryan_Delaney: Dont know, havn't thorough about it carefully. That's the only tip that hits me. [12:05] harald1: /msg nickserv help ghost [12:05] jav: It seems to be related to pulse audio since I now can't get sound from any application [12:05] Ryan_Delaney: restart pulse [12:05] kill pulse?

[12:25] ActionParsnip: nono, of course not.. i can write my own ftp server using my own set of standards, but the problem would be that practically noone would use it :) [12:25] <_anu> ActionParsnip: I typed " sudo apt-get --purge remove eclipse", it said dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. cry [12:26] ActionParsnip: so in practical terms, and all TecR0c really needs to concern himself about, is that proftpd acts the way it's supposed to and thus is not part of the problem [12:26] !gnash [12:26] An open source flash replacement.

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:51] uzer: in some situations (cd burning, web browsing) I'd use gui but for copy, rename, open files, install apps etc etc, command line for me please [12:51] Morclye: it sounds like a DNS issue to me. Are you familiar enough with DNS to run some checks on that? [12:52] Uatec: welcome [12:52] !realplayer [12:52] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:52] how do i force kill an application (which i dont know the PID of) on my desktop? [12:52] I have tried disabling ipv6 in firefox and made put ipv6 in off mode in alias [12:52] !sata [12:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about sata [12:52] onats, the 'xkill' command then click on the apps window. works for most . [12:52] onats: try kill -15 [12:52] how do i grant root access to another user? i tried editing /etc/sudoers, by adding "jxander ALL= /usr/bin/moblock-control" but it didn't work. [12:52] onats: if its no good, try kill -9 [12:52] thanks [12:53] jxander, thats how ya go about doing it.. if thats the right syntax. but the user must be in the proper group also. [12:53] Uatec, I'm not familiar with working of DNS servers but I did manually enter my ISP DNS address in network configuration, didn't help though. In XP I have it set automatic [12:53] Dr_willis, that worked, thanks! [12:53] ActionParsnip, didn't know what the PID was [12:53] onats: kill -15 is a graceful kill and makes theprogram end, kill -9 just stops it dead [12:53] Dr_willis: in the same group as root? [12:53] Morclye: in XP on the same network i assume you don't have the same issue? [12:53] onats: ps -ef | grep [12:53] Uatec, Correct [12:57] jxander, i forget the details but thers some group thats allowed to use sudo.. [12:57] lu [12:57] j'ai un probleme avec apt-get [12:58] !fr | T2loc [12:58] T2loc: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [12:58] !fr | T2loc [12:58] sorry [12:58] jxander, looking at the groups file it may be the 'adm' group [12:58] hey people. To get the latest stable clamav installed, which repositories do I need? [12:58] The standard repository packages seem to be a little behind ClamAV [12:59] 0.92 vs 0.94 [12:59] SmokeyD1: 0.94 is what I see in intrepid's repositories. What ubuntu version are you using? [12:59] Dr_willis: line adm:x:4:jxander is already there [12:59] Out of Date? !latest: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. [12:59] Dr_willis: there is a sudo:x:27 . should i add :jxander? [13:00] jxander, i would ahve to say go google/read up on sudo configuration and ussage.. its somtnhing you do not want to mess up [13:00] Morning jrib .. I made it home safely [13:00] Jack_Sparrow: good to hear [13:00] Dr_willis: lol... you're right! :)... thanks :D [13:01] Does wubi's initrd require losetup? [13:01] rmt: do you mean the interface lo ? [13:01] vi it is text editor and it is not convenient for programming on java [13:01] rmt, Please read and understand the differences between a Wubi install and a regular hard drive install. [13:02] jrib: sorry I meant hardy [13:02] :) [13:02] Jack_Sparrow, I'm quite familiar with partition installs .. installed via Wubi, did an apt-get update, including a new kernel, and now it won't boot. [13:02] ActionParsnip, No, I mean /dev/loop0 etc. [13:03] rmt: boot to the older kernel and read the logs [13:03] Would be nice, but the default upgrade seems to have replaced the old kernel completely. Annoying. [13:04] rmt, NO problem but since I dont recommend, nor use wubi I cant really help [13:04] So now I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to create a new initrd, which I presume is the key.. [13:05] SmokeyD1: usually security patches are cherrypicked, so the version you are using probably already has the security patches from 0.94 (check the changelog). See: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/clamav/+bug/296704 [13:05] rmt: if you can find out the kernel version of the new malfunctioning kernel you could use: sudo apt-get install initrd.img--generic [13:05] rmt: boot to the old kernel and run: dpk -l | grep -i kernel [13:05] jrib: yeah but I remember from previous experiences that clamav always complains if you don't update it [13:05] or has that been changed? [13:06] rmt: make a note of the newest kernel, then run the initrd installation as I said [13:07] ActionParsnip, Yes, I think that I can probably copy the appropriate kernel & initrd to the C:\ubuntu\host\boot (or whatever) directory and recover this way.. [13:07] SmokeyD1: I don't use clamav. Is it complaining? [13:08] jrib: I didn't install yet. I assumed it would be since I experienced that before. I'll see first before wasting time :) [13:08] rmt: could be an option, wubi is okay to try ubuntu but as a full OS its pretty nasty, some love it though but swings and roundabouts eh [13:08] jrib: I know debian has a volatile repository with clamav because of the clamav complaints when it 's not the newest version [13:09] to install adobe acrobat in order to file my taxes, but every time i try to download/install, it fails because the helper applicatio is not present...can anyone help??? [13:09] Dr_willis: i found a solution, adding jxander ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL to sudoers... do i need to logout for the changes to take effect? [13:09] ActionParsnip - annoyed that they pitch it as such a wonderful problem free solution, though. [13:09] SmokeyD1: i found the clamav on the repos refused to update definitoins and had to compile the source for the latest from the clamav site [13:09] SmokeyD1: the bug mentions some ppa, but I would try with the default repositories first [13:09] Yep, clamav is complaining it is outdated [13:09] rmt: ubuntu and linux as a whole are great, no OS is problem free [13:10] SmokeyD1: try: sudo freshclam [13:10] SmokeyD1: if it doesnt update you may have to compile it [13:10] jxander, not for sudoers i think.. but thats not really a 'good' fix. :) you just disabled a big psr tof the secuity behind sudoers [13:10] i use avast.. has a gui too [13:10] ActionParsnip: freshclam only updates the virus definitions, not the program itself [13:10] that works fine [13:10] definitions are up to date [13:11] but the program is not [13:11] SmokeyD1: apt-get upgrade upgrades the app [13:11] ActionParsnip: 0.94 isn't available for hardy [13:11] SmokeyD1: apt-cache policy clamav shows what version? [13:11] SmokeyD1: but you are relying on the repo maintainers to update them [13:11] SmokeyD1: then compile it [13:11] jrib: Installed: 0.92.1~dfsg2-1.1ubuntu0.4 [13:11] Candidate: 0.92.1~dfsg2-1.1ubuntu0.4 [13:12] hi all [13:12] ActionParsnip, Oh, I know. Been using Linux since 95, and (almost) exclusively since ~2003. ;) [13:12] any1 using LX 800 epson? [13:12] People are up at this time..? [13:12] how to get the driver? [13:12] massa [13:13] coky: let me see what i can find [13:13] hey, i have a file in the trash:/// that i cant delete because i dont have enough permission.. already tried chmoding trash:/// and sudo nautilus trash:/// [13:13] ActionParsnip: so there is no other ubuntu repository that provides 0.94.1? [13:13] any ideas? [13:13] ok thanks [13:13] similary to the debian volatile repos [13:13] hello. [13:13] Dr_willis: i'm the only one using this lappy... is it that bad? could someone through internet gain access my comp because of this? [13:13] ubuntu doesnt support it as default [13:13] It is quite useless to have a virusscanner without it's program (apart from the virus definitions) being up to date [13:14] Hello [13:14] SmokeyD1: why is that useless? [13:14] It is normal if, next install apache2, the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty ? [13:14] anybody could help? [13:14] SmokeyD1: did you see if the changelog mentions the 0.94 changes? [13:14] hey guys what does it mean to be identified to join a channel?? [13:14] Bormy: You need to say what your problem is, first. [13:14] what are ~/.fr-* folders? [13:15] jrib: since new virusses get released all the time that first try to disable the virusscanner so it can't be detected, even if the scanner knows about it. [13:15] can anyone help me install adobe acrobat?? [13:15] cousteau: folders that start with ".fr" in your home directory... Why? [13:15] that is why the program itself is updated so often [13:15] jxander, proberly not too bad. theres a lot of features sudo has - for a varity of situations.. You could proerly set it where just that one command dosent need a password. if you wanted to [13:15] the text of some of my applications' menu are not well displayed (ubuntu 8.10) . [13:15] hey, i have a file in the trash:/// that i cant delete because i dont have enough permission.. already tried chmoding trash:/// and sudo nautilus trash:///. Any ideas? [13:16] SmokeyD1: I really doubt that happens on linux, but like I said, security fixes are cherrypicked into -updates. That's why I am asking you to check the changelog of the version you have now to see if it mentions the bug I linked you to [13:16] jrib: I mean, what's their purpose [13:16] Dr_willis: will any rule like that i set for sudo work for gksu too? [13:16] cousteau: your question is to general [13:16] too [13:16] Bormy: Did you mess with any of the theme settings? Metacity/Emerald [13:16] wish avast had a repo then i could update the program, but grabbin a deb now n then is fine, its always updated and has a nice gui [13:16] jxander, not sure.. but i think so [13:16] hola [13:17] jrib: that wiki.ubuntu.com/X link was exactly what i was looking for. Thanks again. [13:17] ezerhoden: no problem [13:17] jrib: they seem to be temporary folders to unzip files [13:18] philTar [13:18] PhilTar: how to set it as default? [13:18] but shouldn't them be automatically deleted when I'm not using the archive any more? [13:18] SmokeyD1: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2008-December/005068.html mail mentioning the ppa in the bug report [13:19] If you want to use Metacity, then press Alt+F2. Then type: metacity --replace [13:19] jrib: thanks for the info [13:19] ok iam loading the pages [13:19] i have update my ubuntu (8.04) package, but suddenly my all file type changed to plain text [13:19] what's wrong ? [13:20] Indeed that security fix of clamav from 0.94.0 to 0.94.1 has been included in 0.92 of the ubuntu repos [13:20] anybody have any ideas about installing adobe?? [13:20] hi, any ideas on how i can speed up copying files over smb? [13:20] meican: is that in nautilus etc/ [13:21] rainbowinfinity: acrobat reader? try foxit reader instead [13:21] between to ubuntu intrepids i get about 5.3 MB/s [13:21] s/to/2/ [13:21] ActionParsnip, no [13:21] unomi, the smb.conf file has some suggested tweaks - but smb can be sluggish.. nfs i hear is faster [13:21] *.jpg, *.sxw, etc [13:21] except system file configuration [13:21] unomi, and for linux to linux - i think the tweaks/comments suggest may help a lot. [13:21] hmw..i tried, but the site i need to file my taxes ONLYuses adobe reader...i tried to install, but it said helper papps were missing [13:21] unomi, but for Ubnut to ubuntu - you may really want to use nfs [13:22] unomi: try using: socket options = TCP_NODELAY in /etc/samba/smb.conf [13:22] ill have a look, thanks [13:22] unomi: what speeds are you expecting? [13:22] how can i set the language used for the whole of ubuntu for one user? [13:22] for 100mbps net? [13:22] what file is that defined in? [13:23] sipior: lets just say higher than 5mb/s [13:23] zamba: enable the language in system -> administration -> language support. Then at the login screen, click "options" and select your language [13:23] unomi: well, 5.3 MB/sec is over 40Mbit/sec, which is quite reasonable for switched 100BaseT [13:23] I always get the MB/sec and Mbit/Sec stuff confused... [13:24] and how it relates to 100/1000/whatever network speed #;s [13:24] unomi: rare to get more than 40-50% of max throughput as packet collisions become an issue [13:24] unomi: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and find the socket options, add that option and it goes a lot faster [13:24] trying to apply that now [13:26] hi guys can someone a easy program I can merge partitions in without lost the data on em? [13:26] Elmnas: gparted in livecd might be able to [13:26] ok [13:26] If I deleted all the settins in my home folder, will a reboot revert everything back to the default settings? [13:26] Elmnas: i'd run your backup before undertaking anything like that [13:26] I dont think gparted can merge 2 partitions with data.. and KEEP the data on both [13:26] that would be a neat trick [13:26] I cant have no space :( [13:26] Elmnas: google system rescue cd [13:27] but can you please remote me action please master [13:27] do i need to restart smbd ?" [13:27] PhilTar: yes, the folders for each app will be recreated as you run them [13:27] Elmnas, lets just say i learned over the weekend.. if you cant afford to back stuff up.. expect it to get LOST at any time.. Had a 500gb hd die on me [13:27] Elmnas: so what if your drive fails, where is your data then? [13:27] ok.. [13:28] What's the story with those 1TB seagate drives? [13:28] Elmnas, 500gb hd.. did a click click.. and dead ;) on me thios weekend [13:28] Is it just a faulty batch or is the firmware on all them bad? [13:28] can anyone help with adobe??

[13:29] rainbowinfinity: adobe what, they make about 30 apps i can pull of the top of my head [13:29] rainbowinfinity: can you be more specific [13:29] dinesh372, theres no need to mess with the source - unless you have a need. :) [13:29] 10 bucks says acrobat [13:29] Elmnas: if your data is important, get a backup [13:29] ok [13:29] thanks for that, its up to 8.6 MB/s now [13:29] Elmnas: if its not, stay backupless [13:29] Action Parsnip...i need reader inorder to file my taxes.. I tried to install, but it said helper apps were missing [13:29] PhilTar: my understanding was that the problem extended to a number of the Barracuda 7200.11 line, including the 500GB models... [13:29] how can i identify myself to join other servers? [13:30] Dr_wills: how to go in epositories [13:30] !info acroread [13:30] Package acroread does not exist in intrepid [13:30] jhonnyboy: /msg nickerv help identify [13:30] dinesh372, its in the normal package manager/repositories.. fire up synaptic and look for it.. learn how the package manager system works on Ubuntu [13:30] !info vlc [13:30] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer.

I'm just having trouble hibernating when I have firefox open which usually has a lot of tabs. [13:37] I've not found any pdf readers that handle pdf forms properly. I stick to acrobat reader too [13:37] 1337 userss [13:37] hello [13:37] Dr_willis: not sure myself, I use the open one [13:38] strange, pdfs open 'out of the box' for me [13:38] dosent ockular also open them? [13:38] unomi: they do for all of us.. for some reason, he claims he can't use evince (the program that works out of the box) [13:38] jrib: Is this a good way to find out if I will be able to hibernate. I type "free" in terminal and if memory used + swap used > total swap, then I won't be able to hibernate? [13:38] hi [13:38] unomi: IndyGunFreak : the problem is form editing, i believe. [13:38] it could be some pdf 'inline forms' kind of thing [13:39] sipior: i was under the impression the problem as reading [13:39] ScottG: I don't know [13:39] whats the point of having a proprietary format if you don't leverage it [13:39] anyone tried installing latest opera in Ibex ?

[14:01] centoasa: afraid so. i understand the latest version allows for static IPs (long overdue...) [14:01] Any ideas why? [14:02] in fact I've 8.10 [14:02] homy, bit OTT maybe but try apache and musicindex module [14:02] ActionParsnip: yes i'm using compiz, and yes i get events in xev [14:02] v nice [14:02] How do i make sure my graphic drivers are installed? [14:02] centoasa: yes, but 8.10 doesn't have the latest network manager [14:02] wht's the latest network manager? [14:02] dundel: bad compiz crippling the click, head into #compiz I'm sure they get this a lot, if you default all the compiz settings it should return [14:02] Can someone tell me how to install flash player in power pc [14:02] hrm, I've asl decided that it is not worth it [14:02] centoasa: http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ [14:03] None? [14:03] xiaojianjun: you have gnash or swfplayer [14:03] act [14:03] ActionParsnip: Thanks, i'm going to try it there [14:03] I'll wait a while, don't want to bugger asl it up guys [14:03] can I upgrade network manager from within Ubuntu? [14:03] hi all, i am having problems with connecting my laptop to my full HD with VGA cable. I tried with windows and with fn+f4 all worked good. I have Gutsy gibbon. Any tips? [14:03] Deany: what do you mean with OTT? [14:04] homy: ott == over the top [14:04] centoasa: is it so important? you can use the network configuration dialogue to set up a static network. i agree it's not ideal. of course, you could always build a new network manager, but building gnome apps is a special form of pain... [14:04] and how can over the top help me with streaming music to my wii? [14:05] homy: can wii access windows shared folders? [14:05] sipior: you say it's better dhcp instead static IP? [14:05] matteo1990 -> thats unique, whats a vga cable? video cable? [14:05] hi all [14:05] homy, heres a very old guide i knocked up... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202837 [14:05] centoasa: its not a case of better, if dhcp suits your needs, use it [14:05] centoasa: no, i said you can configure a static ip from within the networking dialogue [14:05] ActionParsnip: no. There only is the web browser channel with a opera web browser. But accessing a mp3 or even flv file doesn't work. But flash works on the wii. [14:06] n8tuser->RGB/VGA, the cable for screens. [14:06] if you can follow that, using the latest musicindex (1.2.2 i believe) then you`ll be grand [14:06] still have one setup myself [14:06] ActionParsnip: hey dude, all straight? [14:06] Deany: does it stream with flash? Because otherwise the wii can't play it [14:06] centoasa: or just modify /etc/network/interfaces by hand. the syntax is pretty easy to follow, and is documented in "man interfaces" [14:06] matteo1990 -> HD is hard disk? [14:06] remoteLAP: yeh pretty much === jwiddwii is now known as __iroi [14:07] homy, ahh.. not flash no.. [14:07] homy: if you install vlc, you can catch the stream like a webcast [14:07] matteo1990->High definition. [14:07] Deany: but doesn it work with the wii? [14:07] ActionParsnip: nice:) well then let suppot a little [14:07] homy, make a vidiscript server [14:07] siprior, can you help me step by step to configure static ip? [14:07] homy: should not be platform dependent [14:08] ActionParsnip: but there isn't a "stream receive programm" on the wii, only a web browser with flash (not even java!) support. [14:08] (your own flash site) [14:08] centoasa: sure, although, if you've already got dhcp working... [14:08] anyone tell me what the software I can use to convert the .mov to .wmv in Ubuntu [14:09] Need the program in Gnome [14:09] hi all, i am having problems with connecting my laptop to my full HD with VGA cable. I tried with windows and with fn+f4 all worked good. I have Gutsy gibbon. Any tips? [14:09] I'm click right: modify connection [14:09] homy, i dont know if it will work with the wii no.. (musicindex) it just displays your music nicely as a webpage where you click on and it streams it to your assigned music player. [14:09] homy: I think you can access it via http, I'd look into it [14:09] !video | remoteLAP [14:09] remoteLAP, please see my private message [14:09] Deany: wait a moment, I'll try the vidiscript live demo with the wii...

[14:16] Deany: does that mean I have to upload every mp3 file manually? Can I just point it to a directory on the server on which it is installed that contains all the music? [14:16] afraid so... [14:16] you upload like youtube.. [14:16] lemme just check something, brb [14:16] anyone tell me how to convert .mov to .wmv in Ubuntu?

[14:17] remoteLAP: i tried also rebooting, the resolution of my screen changes like he detected the other. But the tv gets no signal. I tried with a Projector and it worked instead... [14:17] anyone ever used smbspool? [14:17] mr_bmh: well buddy i cant help you if you dont answer my questions [14:17] Deany: ok, so that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I'd have to upload hundreds of songs manually. [14:17] matteo1990: in that case the problem is obviously homet at your tv [14:17] Alright folks, myself and a few friends were hoping to set up a VPN between a few different boxes (all with different ISP's) so we could share files.

[14:18] Starhero, See also offtopic [14:19] Who here has Teamspeak? [14:20] Deany: yes. I also tried openening a playlist, mp3 or flv via the web browser but it said unsupported format. And java isn't supported either, only flash. [14:20] how do you get conky on your desktop? [14:20] so it has to be encoded then as flash [14:20] so some of you might have heard last night, me talking about getting no audio out of my headphones, it's not quite that simple. i WAS getting audio out of the headphones, but it was being drowned out by the onboard speakers [14:20] paul68: sudo apt-get install conky [14:21] the strange thing is now that my realtek sound card plays out of the headphones AND speakers at the same time, i haven't found any control to allow me to change the volume of the two outputs independently (i want to turn off the PC speakers if the headphones are plugged in) [14:21] paul68: then you will need to manually create ~/.conkyrc from the example one, or use one from online [14:21] remoteLap: in the site has not the information for video converter [14:21] has anybody had this behaviour using a realtek sound card and 8.10? [14:21] Deany: there are some windows programs that stream to the wii (somehow encoding-on-the fly), but, well, they're not for linux/ubuntu. [14:21] remoteLap: can you give me the name of software?

Since modifying my Advanced Desktop Effects settings my machine has been reduced to an absolute crawl. It's on it's knees. Simply loading my IRC client took about 10 minutes.When I modified a couple of settings, the GUI vanished and displayed a black screen with random parts of colour. I rebooted and as soon as I logged in I'd be logged out again straight away. After 3 reboots I manage to g [14:22] et in but the output on my display is all over the place, a 4th reboot gets the display working but leaves my system virtually at a standstill. I have since tried undoing the settings I have modified, but that hasn't worked. Does anybody have the vaguest idea why this is happening? Or what I can do to correct this issue? [14:22] Uatec: can it transmit audio via flash so I can play it on the Nintendo Wii? [14:23] alo [14:23] !hi [14:23] I got ubuntu-specific problem with mysql [14:23] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[14:25] Mickmeister: then default what settings you have and add the settings one by one and testing, then build up until you have what you want. One setting will tip it over [14:26] is there an open source program like Skype? [14:26] ekiga [14:26] does Ekiga support video calls?

[14:28] ActionParsnip, I have enabled my video card and ran the most fancy desktop effects with no difference in performance for a long time.

Once more question, I have try to compile the Gmencoder source [14:29] Mickmeister: ok thats a good sign [14:29] Jeruvy: just cp my.cnf my2.cnf [14:29] ahes_, No, I dont use mysql .. fyi there is a server channel and an apache2 channel that may be of more help [14:29] nobody can help me?

It isn't unless I explicitly specify the path. :-S [15:25] james296: find menu-object and select the option "use custom icon" and select your own [15:25] will that do the job for me [15:25] ubuntuteen: if your card is supported on linux, it iwll [15:25] will* [15:25] albuntu i dont have "menu-object" there, neither. only "menu_path" [15:25] rww: checked that before, (and had it working, then stopped for no reason), test doesn't sound, rest of soundsys is fine [15:25] N-A: well, call the script something else, i guess [15:25] I found it under browser_launcher_screen0 [15:25] thank u tritium and dasei [15:25] ubuntuteen, there are several ways to do it.. verify your card is supported [15:26] how [15:26] !hardware [15:26] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [15:26] also menu_bar_screen0 [15:26] albuntu but there is "use custom icon" and "custon_icon"!! james296 [15:26] !who | ubuntuteen [15:26] ubuntuteen: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[15:26] ubuntuteen: linuxtv.org has an wiki page you can check [15:26] DasEi: Hrm. Closing and reopening pidgin sometimes helps that, or playing with the Method setting on that page.

[15:28] !br [15:28] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [15:28] done [15:28] sipior: Yes, well, what I was hoping to achieve was to get the wine command to run: aoss wine $1 so just renaming it really doesn't achieve what I was going for. Maybe I'll have to rename the wine executable? I just find it strange that "which wine" returns the script file, yet it's not what gets run when I type "wine" in the console??? [15:28] james296: find the path to the logo of your theme. the one that you are using. and replace it there. you can use in terminal : sudo cp /path/to your logo.svg /path/to the logo in the theme.svg [15:28] N-A: what username are you currently running under?

[15:29] rww: also when I did a purge-remove, reinstalling pidgin came up with all my preseeds (chats, nicknames) too, so config wasn't erased [15:29] james296: i found mine in /home/snake/.icons/hydroxygen/22x22/places/distributor-logo.png [15:30] DasEi: naturally. [15:30] it needs to be 24x24 [15:30] hello [15:30] ubuntuteen: if you run tvtime, card found ? [15:30] james296: so try checking yours in .icons folder. and look carefully to your size. i dont know what size ar you using [15:30] DasEi: per-user configurations aren't removed by purging the package. To remove your per-user configuration for Pidgin, delete the .purple directory in your home directory.

[15:47] It complains that "unable to use my hostname" [15:47] ackbahr: I suggest you to backup also /etc, it may contain useful, hard earned, system settings.

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [15:53] !eol | flamoot [15:53] flamoot: you shouldn't. You should go get a CD of a newer version of Ubuntu, because the one you have is ridiculously out of date. [15:53] no stop [15:53] wow that's really hurtful and insulting rww [15:53] it's ok [15:53] i understand the concept of planned obsolescence [15:54] heh, how's that insulting? [15:54] * flamoot rages [15:54] the new version's are free, and better [15:54] versions* [15:54] maybe i can burn a cd but then i'd be better off with knoppix [15:54] do you know how to prevent network-manager to disconnect wlan when logging off? [15:54] hi there, i need some help with my ubuntu usb-startup disk, first off all, my bios doesn't support booting from usb, i solved that using a bootloader an a cd, which loads the ubuntu boot loader, but because off this i can't give aditional startup parameters, which i need for it to work. [15:55] flamoot: It is not feasible for Ubuntu to continue to support all previous versions perpetually. If you need long term support, get an LTS release (supported for 3 years on the desktop, 5 on the server). [15:55] oCean: thank you very much now i am able to play songs but just one more query is it necessary that there must be no space in the song name as when i tried with songs having space between words i am not able to play the songs [15:55] anyways, #postfix looks dead [15:55] hmm [15:55] ok thanks bye for now [15:55] is there any postfix ace here up for the task? :) [15:55] can anyone help me with what I believe to be an easy dnsmasq issue? [15:55] I'm kinda clueless on that [15:55] xakep_inc: ? [15:56] dinesh372: ok. If you have spaces in your filename, you can use the key to complete your filename. [15:56] I want to install Hylafax+Avantfax on Ubuntu HArdy [15:56] so long folks! [15:56] Broken|Arrow_ - Basically I'm trying to set up postfix on a machine that has 4 IP addresses associated to it, and 4 domain names. And I can't receive any mail.. And it says "unable to use my own host" all the time [15:57] I've been googling and RTFM'ing for the whole day [15:57] Couldn't find anything that quite solved my problem [15:57] anyone hase expierience with a ubuntu-boot-usbstick, the 'buffer error on device sr0' error adn the pendrivelinux.com bootfromcd-cd? [15:57] dnsmasq is handing out dhcp addresses and correctly resolves properly formed addresses fine (at least 99% of the time). If I ping madwifi.org from a client, I get the proper name resolution..if I ping svn.madwifi.org, it appends my domain name to the end of it...it will also do this for any other garbage name...like ping crap...crap.zanoware.org replies [15:57] dinesh372: so type "mpg123" and the first two or three characters of the song. Then hit . It wil autocomplete the filename like "surfing\ usa.mp3" [15:57] xakep_inc: can you pastebin your main.cf somewhere ? [15:58] Broken|Arrow_ - yeah. 1sec [15:58] linuxman410, ok, then there is something wrong with my system, thanks [15:58] xakep_inc: is your mydestination variable set properly in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

[16:10] Blatz: a year or two old [16:10] Administrator_ if your grub is in the MBR, Jeruvy's solution should help - fixmbr writes a new MBR boot program, thus removing the grub boot loader. try that, it should do no harm anyways [16:10] I created its .ssh dir and copied my id_rsa.pub (from my laptop) in authorised_keys [16:11] #ayuda_ubuntu [16:11] Administrator_: do you have a windows disc? you could do a repair from a valid windows XP disc as well. that will rewrite the MBR === kupesoft_ is now known as kupesoft [16:11] but ssh deploy@myserver still asks for my password [16:11] hmw: I'd never get rid of grub mind you...

But its mainly when I maximize the window, you might try it and see the effects [16:11] yes I have the disc [16:11] Can Ubuntu support dual monitors at all?

[16:12] Hi [16:12] casper_: ifdown br0 [16:12] Jeruvy, (because if i remove it from the interfaces config file, and do a /etc/init.d/networking restart, i still end up with a br0 existing) [16:12] Blatz: yeah, not the band :) [16:12] thanks Jeruvy will try [16:13] churl: hehe cool [16:13] Jeruvy a dirty solution might be to set the delay of the boot menu to zero, though [16:13] bartocc: try to use verbose "ssh -v " [16:13] dasei:well i am english [16:13] casper_: ifup and ifdown can fail, read the man pages (man ifup) [16:13] churl: I should get one. :) [16:13] ftp://hackers.myftp.biz [16:13] ftp://gnone.myvnc.com [16:13] ftp://tecnica.serveftp.com [16:13] ftp://descargas.serveblog.net [16:13] usuario tecnica [16:13] ocz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Is there a way to tell it to always look for Default, then look for Univers [16:30] hmw: Thanks ;) [16:30] but after a few minutes the systems keeps resetting eth0 to nothing [16:30] alesan you can just temporarily ifconfig your if [16:30] esmtp or msmtp -- they seem to do pretty much the same.

Just trying to point him/her in the right direction [16:51] jp_sf no, it doesn't show it in that command [16:51] Will these drivers work with 8.10: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=45&CatID=3220&SubCatID=158? [16:51] mini-man, Working at the partition level will always have risks [16:51] hi! i removed my user from all groups, accidentally. meanwhile i managed to get root access again by adding my user to /etc/sudoers. what are the default groups and how can i add my user to them? [16:52] BadElvis, groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),107(fuse),109(lpadmin),115(admin) [16:52] BramP: can't you browse to the router? [16:52] to add a user to a group: sudo adduser username groupname [16:52] mini-man, Working at the partition level will always have risks.. the more fragmented your ntfs, the less free space you have before or after the resize will affect the outcome [16:52] i ssh into a ubuntu server with term type wyse50, TERM is set to wyse50 on ubuntu but if i then telnet to a sco box my term type isn't passed...any ideas? [16:52] Ahhh, the blinking capslock of death! [16:52] BramP: no it might be hard to guess the version model from a remote computer nevertheless some members of my family have a speedtouch and they connect to http://192.168.1.254 [16:52] oCean_: no firefox gives the server not found error when I try to [16:52] Seveas: how can i add my user to these groups? [16:52] BadElvis, to add a user to a group: sudo adduser username groupname [16:53] Jack_Sparrow: well I guess I'll have to purchase another disk for backup or just to put ubuntu on it... because I currently have no means of backing up anything, and my windows install is kaput [16:53] loki28, please find a sco channel. [16:53] What do you do when sudo kill [PID] won't actually err..kill the process? [16:53] For some reason the X close button doesn't work. [16:53] seveas, it's ubuntu that's not passing the term type [16:53] BramP: that's when you enter the found ip in the browser? [16:53] mini-man: good plan, backup before you start modifying partitions. [16:53] Seveas: ok thank you! [16:54] mini-man, if your windows install is fried.. then use a livecd to recover your stuff .. good luck [16:54] loki28, it's sco not accepting the variable :) [16:54] sproaty, sudo kill -9 pid [16:54] Seveas: do you know why fuse is part of the default permissions? [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: tnx 4 the tips m8ey...cya [16:54] jp_sf: that's it! I'm in many thanks for your help. Quite strange I didn't have to give an username/password [16:54] cya [16:54] Jeruvy, because fuse is used by default (making gvfs available in the regular filesystem) [16:54] Seveas: cheers :) [16:55] <_Vi_> BramP: I think by default most routers dont have a pass , if they do they're usually something simple like 1234 [16:55] j/w, what exactly does the -9 flag do with kill? [16:56] Seveas: I did not know, thanks. [16:56] sproaty: kills it dead right there [16:56] BramP, try also admin for router password [16:56] loki28: export TERM=vt100 and then telnet ? [16:56] is there a way i can chk my ip in the terminal [16:56] sproaty: kinda like pulling the plug from your computer while it's on [16:56] sproaty, kill sends a SIGINT. An app can ignore/handle that. Jill -9 sends SIGKILL. Applications are terminated immediately [16:56] ugliefrog: ifconfig [16:56] ugliefrog: iwconfig if wireless [16:56] <_Vi_> hehe 'Jill' Seveas ? [16:57] Ah, excellent, I will have to keep that in mind [16:57] _Vi_, ? [16:57] ty you guys rock....ive learned much because of this channel [16:57] <_Vi_> re-read your last sentence [16:57] ah, typo :) [16:57] <_Vi_> ;) [16:57] So I guess doing kill -9 just kills..all processes? [16:57] stupid small EEE keyboard [16:57] (with no PID) [16:57] sproaty, [16:57] no [16:57] _vi_,Jack_Sparrow: no, I'm in, I only found it strange I didn't have to enter a pass [16:57] kill -9 -1 does that :) [16:57] <_Vi_> BramP: you can make one [16:57] Badass :) [16:57] _vi_: in configuration? [16:58] sproaty: the syntax is kill -9 processIDHere [16:58] my SPDIF only outputs in stereo - is there a conf file somewhere i have to change in order to enable surround/dts? any help or point in direction will be very much appreciated. thanks a million guys :) [16:58] i have a lot of desktop computers running ubuntu with oversized hard drives.. is it possible to use these in some sort of distributed storage system? [16:58] sproaty, if you run that as root, your machine won't be too happy [16:58] sproaty: -1 would be ... all ... [16:58] <_Vi_> BramP: just make sure you dont loose the pass you make! else you'll have no choice but to reset the router! yes in the config [16:58] _vi_: ok thanks [16:58] <_Vi_> yep [16:59] Seveas Cpudan80 - thanks, I closed the app now [16:59] gotta shoot off anyway, I was going to shutdown my machine anyway haha...just may as well what to do for next time :) [17:02] is resizing a fragmented windows partition a good idea? e.g., will it work, even if I have smaller amounts of space? === cs278|laptop_ is now known as cs278 [17:03] zamba: what have you tried so far ? [17:03] I'm afraid fragmenting won't work as it stops at the wubi disk.. [17:03] mini-man: no - you must defrag it [17:03] Hi all, Q:If I want to run the urxvtd daemon just for one user, where should I start that? i.e. in which file should I put it, so that it doesn't get started after each instance of bash that gets started? [17:03] mini-man: I think it may just take a _really_ long time [17:03] mini-man: It should just skip over it [17:03] Cpudan80: but it fails to move the wubi disk [17:03] :< [17:03] ok, thanks [17:03] mini-man: you should have defragged before installing wubi :-( [17:03] i know :( [17:04] maybe i'll just save myself the trouble and buy another disk [17:04] jp_sf: nothing.. i'm just checking what's "out there" [17:04] mini-man: have you tried a different program, maybe defraggler? [17:05] temppy: nope. Is it freeware? [17:05] zamba: have a look into GFS and GlusterFS [17:05] ya [17:05] jp_sf: considering the fact that this is desktop computers probably complicates stuff a bit, since they are turned off quite often [17:05] also; I wouldn't even bother with messing with this if wubi wasn't so butt slow lol... [17:05] after about a day of uptime, I have to reboot because everything takes minutes to restore from disk sleeps [17:06] whats the easiest way to reformat my home partition, its currently ext3 but its painful when using disk intensive stuff, so gonna go JFS route. need my home backin up tho [17:06] hello [17:06] not to mention, a hard reboot because I don't have the patience to wait 10 minutes for the logoff screen to appear, then another 10 minutes for it to kill everything (and subsequently fail) === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [17:07] albuntu ? [17:07] asad_rehman: yes ? [17:07] can u tell me what i should do [17:07] asad_rehman: what did you do before ? did you do that command i told you in terminal ? [17:07] bcoz i m now getting desprate to use linux:-( [17:07] No takers? [17:08] i didn't worked [17:09] asad_rehman: i am helping you as much as i can but you have to help me too. tell me what happened when you did that command. it didnt worked is not an answer. what do you mean by it didnt worked ? [17:09] Could not start the x server due to some internal error [17:09] this is what comes up whe i use startx [17:10] asad_rehman: try doing in terminal this : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:10] can anyone help me with sound problem? [17:10] asad_rehman: and restart your computer [17:11] !ask | orduek [17:11] orduek: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:12] I have a mythbuntu 8.10 installation, after adding Nvidia 9400gt graphic card my sound is out. I can't find a way to briing the sound back, only option is to load the computer from the integrated graphic card and not the nvidia one. [17:12] друзья ссылочку не дадите на репозитарий где можно достать пиджин 254 [17:13] !ru | Maestro123 [17:13] Maestro123: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [17:13] I'm using LAMPP, and I want to enable FTP for my system users. How to I go about doing that? Anyone know? [17:13] albuntu now it is asking for using kernel framebuffer device interface [17:13] sorry =) [17:13] yes or no? [17:13] orduek: i am not sure but have you tried checking system - administration - hardware drivers to see if your graphic drivers are installed ? [17:15] hi [17:15] albuntu now it is asking for using kernel framebuffer device interface [17:15] What is a good asciiart viewer? [17:15] albuntu: graphic driver is installed properly. I'm afraid it runs over the integrated sound card. [17:15] asad_rehman: use the default option. [17:15] :D [17:16] i new to linux. i went to #linux but they funning me. i went to #gentoo but they tell me to tell you. so me asking in #ubuntu [17:16] i am not seeing httpd.conf [17:16] orduek: than sorry i cant help you anymore. maybe some other one here may help [17:16] hakumaligachibal: Are you running Ubuntu? [17:16] ah... welcome to my problem hakumaligachibal [17:16] i change apache but no httpd.conf :-( [17:16] Pici: yes ubuntu and apt-get [17:16] i put ubuntu into my computer by putting cd into my computer [17:16] hakumaligachibal try "locate httpd.conf" [17:16] and i put apache into ubuntu using apt-get [17:16] do you have the standard Apache installation or a LAMPP installation? [17:16] hakumaligachibal: i wonder what sort of reasoning makes you ask in #gentoo if you're using Ubuntu [17:16] ok [17:17] !lamp [17:17] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:17] hakumaligachibal you might have to update the locate database: "updatedb" before [17:17] hakumaligachibal, http.conf for other distros is apache.conf for ubuntu apache2 [17:17] http.conf is for loading modules [17:17] i don't know before now #ubuntu exists so I ask #gentoo [17:17] hakumaligachibal: look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [17:17] hakumaligachibal: i don't have an httpd.conf either. are you sure you aren't looking for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ? [17:17] Deany hakumaligachibal - oh. [17:17] hakumaligachibal, what exactly does lsb_release -a in a terminal tell you [17:18] hmm. many many commands to help [17:18] anyone here knows about sound issues? [17:18] hakumaligachibal: Ubuntu uses /etc/apache2/apache2.conf not httpd.conf. They can accept the same syntax. [17:18] apache2.conf change wil change apache ? [17:18] hakumaligachibal: yes [17:18] i want change DocumentRoot [17:18] hakumaligachibal: You can do that there [17:18] hurray. thanks you. :-) [17:18] anyone here knows about sound issues? [17:18] lol gentoo... their latest release is months old yet has lots of bugs [17:18] hakumaligachibal, try /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default then [17:19] orduek - yes. i have some here, too. we might exchange them. *g* [17:19] hi, when i type xrandr --size 640x480 my desktop does not scale on the screen [17:19] Guys, I use Lyx quite a bit and like gbib to manage my literature references.

[17:27] IkimashoZ: use alternate-cd image [17:27] ok [17:27] should I change any of the install settings? [17:27] the install went fine [17:27] <_Vi_> IkimashoZ: i think there's a safe graphics mode on all the CD's [17:27] this machine can be too low for gfx installer [17:27] or setup with safe grafik driver [17:27] kk [17:27] thanks!

Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

[17:55] I'm going to go find some 512MB sticks [17:55] in this case I would recommend Xubuntu [17:56] superbuntu, No idea.. it seems to be lacking in support but there are channels around that can help. You will need to look for them [17:56] Lokiase: what kind of issues? maybe it just needs some configuring? [17:57] ramiro, samba. [17:57] !samba [17:57] dayo_: My KDE-enviroment was not in dutch, my Gnome was... and for no reason KDE always logged me out... [17:57] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

If so, then you need to determine if the install process added packages or just put files in your filesystem [18:56] elad`: grep -r /yourdirectory/ yourpattern [18:57] hi im getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107898/ what can i do?

I wonder why I would have ACPI problems all of a sudden [19:00] jhass840: you should append it to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:00] jhass840: then reboot [19:00] okay [19:01] jgfjkjh: And then I should delete those massive log files? [19:01] AJC_Z0: i found it : sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall [19:02] jhass840: when you need more space you can [19:03] jgfjkjh: What should I do about ACPI long term? [19:03] Koordin: Good. Next time be way of any kind of "installer" and if you run one then learn how you can use tools like "find -newer" to see changes [19:03] AJC_Z0: ok thanks [19:04] i got a problem.. i cant find files on my desktop thrue my promt [19:04] emil_: cd ~/Desktop; ls [19:04] i get a message telling me there is np file called that..

[19:15] god this sucks [19:15] Izinucs: you have any idea?

I don't know.. that's a different command. If nobody has the answer then you might install the driver that you need to remove.. then actually remove it the right way and it should take the kernel portion as well.

The most appropriate method, if your router does not natively support SIP or H.323, is to forward the required port to your internal machine in order to change your Symmetric NAT into Cone NAT. If you run this test again after the port forwarding has been done, it should report Cone NAT. This should allow Ekiga to be used with STUN support enabled. If it does not report Cone NAT, then it means that there is a problem in your f [19:48] orwarding rules.

Which one is faster in yours ? [19:48] ortsvorsteher, ok... can you show me the section where you see it listing the nonfree plugin? [19:49] olethri0s: that either means that you installed it or some other kde program you installed pulled it in as a dependancy.. weird. [19:49] TheFunkbomb: Its up to you to decide whether its safe to install. Just like any other repository. [19:49] ortsvorsteher, because I had it installed and when performing that command, I didn't see it listed... [19:49] shubbar: k.. does it mention which ports need to be forwarded? [19:49] Pici, well, I guess I shouldn't then [19:49] Izinucs: Yeah, iuno. I don't even remember installing anything recently... Well, just as long as this isn't a vuln. [19:50] when setting up a wired network connection, where do you put the subnet? is it the same as netmask? [19:50] |sundown|: Why are you trying the framerate and resizing the video? I had some problems in the past resizing some videos using mencoder.... Try without that and see if it works? [19:50] CaptainMorgan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107928/ look there. ist it like in your browser? [19:50] from Ekiga site wiki, they mention it http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Enable_port_forwarding_manually [19:51] ortsvorsteher, yea.. that's how mine looks... I don't understand this... [19:51] |sundown| If that does not work, try asking in #mplayer. They helped me a lot when I was lost with mencoder flags ^^ [19:51] Izinucs: OH! That's it by the way. Tor messed with konqueror, and kon. must've pulled it in according to synaptic. [19:51] CaptainMorgan: after installing flash and deinstalling it, you quitted your browser? [19:51] <|sundown|> DeadFishMan: thanks!! [19:52] shubbar: http://portforward.com/ has instructions on setting things up for your router. [19:52] izinucs, but it does not mention Ekiga application [19:53] ortsvorsteher, yep, cleared cache & cookies, the whole bit... === Koordin is now known as Jado [19:53] evolution keeps starting up after my laptop wakes up after suspend [19:54] shubbar: your first link showed two different lines that mention the ports that need to be forwarded.. you need to apply that to your specific router.. check the instruction on the link I gave you and the instructions for your router. [19:54] CaptainMorgan: sorry , so i have no idea. did you searched the web for your problem? surely yes i think [19:54] does anyone else also have this prob? [19:54] Hi I'm trying to host a domain in my Ubuntu server. Shoul I need to set up bind9 ? Or just point the domain to my static ip address? [19:54] ortsvorsteher yep... I'll keep hunting I guess..

I don't feel like doing it all by scratch :/ [19:55] CaptainMorgan: youre welcome :) [19:55] hey guys, im working on a dissertation project relating to wondows and ubuntu. I posted my question here: http://www.hackerthreads.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=39505 Appreciate your help [19:55] does anyone know if mdadm should automatically re-add a devide to RAID5 after it was removed and the raid degraded whem the device becomes availble again ? [19:55] quick question about mounting in fstab [19:56] I can just add a line as such >> /dev/sda1 /media/Avaritia ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [19:56] izinucs, ok, these instruction are clearer http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Ekiga_behind_a_NAT_router [19:56] and it will add on boot? [19:56] I need nothing else? [19:56] err, actually I want to mount that to /mnt/Avaritia -- would that make a difference? [19:56] hi i need help ; i can't have the 640x480 resolution : my desktop does not scale on the screen [19:57] detrate: the folder /mnt/Avaritia must exist first, thats all. [19:57] Pici: so mkdir /mnt/Avarita ? [19:57] detrate: Prefix it with sudo [19:57] Quick question about graphiccards. Is it possible to allocate some of my standard RAM to graphics card? I have 2 gb RAM but only 128 mb on my nVidia 7300 GO graphics card. [19:57] yarr, thanks [19:57] yay, now I can index my RAID array :D [19:58] Jado: You may want to rephrase your question or add some additional information so that someone may be able to help you better. [19:58] |sundown|: np! [19:59] Pici: if i whoose the 640x480 resolution (with xrandr --size 640x480 or nvidia-settings), the desktop does not appear entirely on my screen and i can't see the bottom part of it. With other resolutoins, such as 800x600 or 1280x800, i can see all the desktop and not only a part [19:59] chose* [19:59] Is it ok to keep my laptop on 24/7 with ubuntu? [20:00] blacklemon67: You'd waste a lot of power, but you could if you want. [20:00] there's not really a problem with it, and it'll hurt your laptop just because it'll overheat due to being on [20:00] blacklemon67, sure, as long as your laptop has got a good fan and cooling, and as long as your cat doesn't sit on your laptop. Your hard drive might die MUCH faster too. [20:00] blackemon67: the problems computers get from being on are OS independent [20:01] So I can use it as a server? [20:01] Hey guys, do you know a good mail client for X other than evolution that can connect to an exchange server? evolution is simply a piece of crap. [20:01] and by die faster, what do you mean? [20:01] dont know if this is right channel but, how to watch my tv and use the tv as a monitor for my computer at the same time? kinda, if u understand but cant answer plz help me rephrase... lol .. yes i use ubuntu [20:01] Pici: any idea ? [20:01] Techdeck: Thunder Bird? [20:01] Techdeck: Mozilla Thunderbird is very good [20:01] !blueman [20:02] blacklemon67: hardware in laptops is not meant to be used as server hardware. [20:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about blueman [20:02] Jado: I dont, but if you ask the channel, someone else may know. [20:02] thunder bird can connect to exchange? [20:02] since when? [20:02] blacklemon67: HDDs are much stronger in servers, and cooling systems too [20:02] Gotta pack my stuff and go. See you guys later. [20:02] (not with POP3, I need it to use the exchange protocol) [20:02] like evolution [20:02] blacklemon67: The longer any machine remains on the more prone to hardware faiure it becomes. Since laptops are not designed with the idea of being on 24/7 odds are it will fail sooner than a desktop. [20:02] !enter | Techdeck [20:02] Techdeck: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:02] blacklemon67, like SiDi said, laptops are not meant to be on all the time. But laptop hard drives, regarless of OS, tend to die in a few years. So by having your laptop on 24/7, you're making your hard drive die even sooner [20:03] Dear channel, i need some help : if i choose the 640x480 resolution (xrandr --size 640x480 or nvidia-settings), the desktop does not appear entirely on my screen and i can't see the bottom part of it.

In installed ltsp5 on my Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 terminal server [20:04] techdeck: with mails good but no automatic calender entries etc...

[20:17] does anyone use sox from the ubuntu sox package? [20:17] how do you change your canonical landscape to autoupdate ? [20:17] M3TAPHYS1CS, grab a theme from gnome-look.org, drag the .tgz file to the Apearance window (right click desktop, click change desktoip background) [20:17] TwoD: are you using pulseaudio? [20:18] laeg, yes [20:18] Hi my memory is near full on my dell ispiron 9 mini iam running ubuntu 8.10 will the lack of memory stop me from opening fire fox [20:18] TwoD: 99% chance it's puleaudio [20:18] laeg, restart it?

[20:20] <_Vi_> mike12: you might have to use a lighter window manager like fluxbox, Icebox, etc [20:20] how do i switch to that [20:20] <_Vi_> 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox' first of all [20:20] laeg, ok, but not using it has been a much worse pain for me. Only one program at a time etc. [20:21] <_Vi_> secondly you log out... mike12 , then you'll see a sessions menu pick fluxbox [20:21] Soooo let me get this clear: In Intrepid, I don't use xorg.conf anymore, right?

[20:23] TwoD: you don't have to use one program at a time, use alsa [20:23] o ok is there any way to free up space taken up by cache and things like that [20:24] slashzul: It would probably be best to contact Canonical regarding that, since its a service that they provide. [20:24] I can see flash video, but can't hear the sound through firefox. I do have audio with banshee, am I missing something? [20:24] <_Vi_> mike12: you might like icewm better than fluxbox, it's got a nice menu and kinda sorta mimics Gnome [20:24] TwoD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792943 [20:24] mike12, sudo apt-get autoclean [20:24] <_Vi_> mike12: cache isnt what's effecting yor ram though [20:24] <_Vi_> your* [20:24] i kno im desperat tho lol [20:24] <_Vi_> cache is a harddisk thing [20:25] Hi, which package contains daytime service [20:25] is there anything i can use to create .iso images, with Ubuntu?

[20:29] fosco: can I find those in synaptic? [20:30] droopsta915: many of them [20:31] droopsta915: mkisofs is a system command [20:31] Are there any terminal MUAs other than Mutt for Ubuntu? [20:31] bela: It looks like a xinetd should provide the daytime service. [20:31] !mail [20:31] mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com [20:32] bah.. ubottu.. you fail me again.. [20:32] lol [20:32] Slart: !mua, but it doesnt provide any information that we don't already know. [20:33] !mua [20:33] A Mail User Agent (MUA) is the application you use to read email messages. Examples include Evolution, !Thunderbird and mutt. MUA's are required to read mail on your system and could be compared to the mail functions of Microsoft Outlook. [20:33] Pici: mm..

[20:34] elad`: in term type grep -i "what im looking for" filename.name [20:34] tyler_d: I'm not sure if there is a checkdisk utility included in ntfs3g.. I don't think so [20:34] elad`: the -i gets rid of case sensetivity [20:35] Slart: so what are the options?? [20:35] Hi, I would like to do something in Gnome... but as I can see, the only one that do that is Xfce, And that is that if I do a right click con the desktop.... Of Xcfe Y can see the menu, There is someway that I can do that on Gnome ( with the right click?) can someone help me out? :S [20:35] "in term type"?! [20:35] elad`: press alt-f2 and type gnome-terminal [20:35] I only have the shell. [20:35] People suggested grep before. [20:35] elad`: thats the shell (term) [20:35] tyler_d: there might be a "stop being such a rear end and just do what I say"-switch.. or you can boot windows [20:35] terminal [20:36] grep -i ? [20:36] Slart: don't I wish [20:36] tyler_d: that first option is usually called -force [20:36] Hi, I am researching the ATI issue with blinking OpenGL applications. I have read like every topic on the issue and I understand that it is a fault of the DRI and the DRI2 will address this issue. Can anyone simply tell me what DRI is so I can find out more about it?

Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:36] You misunderstand the question. I don't want to search in a file, I want to search FOR the file.

[20:49] ickis: pointing the domain to your static ip is all you need afaik.. unless you plan on having subdomains and such [20:49] just ask, mcj. If someone knows the answer they most probably will answer [20:49] ickis: you will want to know how to do virtual sites in apache [20:49] ok, and what should I put in the domain info [20:50] in the dns section: ns.mydomain.com ?

[21:26] I'm running the 64-bit Flash from Adobe, no plugin wrapper [21:26] sluxor: Have you done anything to the disk since you deleted it? [21:26] so can anyone reccomend an irc daemon? [21:26] Does anyone know what could be causing this, or how I might be able to diagnose it? [21:26] ik_: try different options. But "Alsa" should work. Then hit test button [21:26] oCean_: i want 2 know how 2 connect or set pppoe on ubuntu 8.10 [21:26] back to windows i guess [21:26] fozze: none of the ubuntu prepacked ones suits you?

Any commentary wellcome. [21:28] brunner: afaik they changed the audio subsystem to pulseaudio starting from intrepid, so there are quite a few problems because of this, mainly with flash and some games [21:28] well Miro doesn't work either, and it doesn't use flash at all [21:28] user___: i'm delving into new territory with ircd, if someone has good experience with a certain package i would like to know which one [21:28] brunner: some time ago the solution was to install libflashsupport, but I’ve read somewhere that this isn’t recommended anymore [21:29] hi [21:29] frojnd: I'm no wine expert, but it seems that it's a permission problem on mentioned file [21:29] hi :) I've got Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and usbcore recognises when I plug my external mouse in... dmesg doesn't give any errors, yet I can't use the external USB mouse... any clues? [21:29] can someone try sending an e-mail to zleap@zleap.net please i am not sure if its working [21:29] the dmesg suggests it finds it as a USB HID v1.10 mouse with wheel [21:29] brunner: that’s possible, some applications aren’t configured to use pulseaudio (and some can’t even be configured to use it) [21:29] GnomeKing: no errors in dmesg, but there are entries that it is found? [21:29] hi, when i try to open amule it either freezes opening or it opens very slowly, and in general everything i do within the program is really slow. anyone can help? thanks [21:29] oCean_: I chmod 777 -R /tm/ but I'm not able to run it... [21:29] brunner: quit any apps that use sound, then re-launch Miro by itself. [21:29] oCean_, correct, yes - shall I paste the lines to a pastebin? [21:30] frojnd: that's not a wise thing to do "chmod 777 /tmp" [21:30] fozze: what works well most of the time is do a start, try and if things break ask a concrete question (error message) [21:30] oCean_: 755 than ? [21:30] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/m4871cd87 [21:30] GnomeKing: ok moment [21:30] frojnd: "must not be accessible" [21:31] mneptok: oh so too many permissions [21:31] frojnd: no, you should not mess with general /tmp settings. They're kind of ... particular. [21:31] mneptok: ok so can u pelase tell me who can and who can't access it :) [21:32] frojnd: I think that you should do a chmod 700 on that file (or is it a socket?) you mentioned earlier [21:32] frojnd: your first issue is your now massively-insecure /tmp [21:32] GnomeKing: well, yes that's the output you want. But no response? :/ [21:33] ichbinesderelch_, you know what's wrong? [21:33] not a sausage :/ the lil red LED lights up on the mouse... but I move it and nothing happens [21:33] actualy having a look a ubuntu 8.10 default permissions on /tmp they are in fact 777 [21:33] mneptok: I just did that, and there's no audio. It's playing without audio as I type this and all other audio applications are closed. [21:33] tr3nd: sry overread it, one second [21:33] mneptok: including firefox [21:33] why wont installer let me, ubuntume resize and remove older distro I have here..its wanting to maintain 5% of old one while installing ubuntu on new partition ?? [21:33] oCean_, No response from xev either ;) so none of the buttons actually send a message to X [21:33] fearlessdawg: a chmod -R does a lot more than only the /tmp dir [21:33] oCean_: I've changed it to chmod 700 -R /tmp/ and now I get: wine: chdir to /tmp/.wine-1000/server-805-4bc31b : Permission denied [21:33] ichbinesderelch_, http://pastebin.com/d1d0f1ccd [21:34] yes i know recurses through sub dirs [21:34] oCean_: how can I change permission to this file so my user can access it ? [21:34] fearlessdawg: and than, there should be a sticky bit (t) on the dir. [21:34] oCean_ whats the 't' ? [21:34] frojnd: i did not say so [21:35] hello all, could anybody help me, i have installed a new wireless card: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20), and since i have installed the signal is so week that i need to put my router right next to it, has any one got a clue how to improve the reception? [21:35] Alguien habla español y me ayuda por favor... :( [21:35] oCean_: u said just for /tmp/.wine-1000/server-805-4bc31b but how about for the rest of /tmp/ [21:35] !es | lovlexir [21:35] lovlexir: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:35] i think i just found a new hobby [21:35] oCean_: and still I can't acess wine [21:35] tr3nd: mouse and keyboard may not be configured correctly, what mouse etc are you using? [21:35] GRAZIAZ ! ! ! [21:36] * brunner is going to restart [21:36] lovlexir: :) [21:36] tr3nd: or the easier way, do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do build a xorg.conf [21:36] fearlessdawg: when set, items inside the directory (with sticky bit) can be renamed or deleted by the owner *only*, even if others have rw access [21:36] tr3nd: and then run sudo nvidia-xconfig again [21:36] why doesn't my brasero disc burning have an .iso image option? it has *.raw, *.cue, *.toc, but no .iso? [21:36] frojnd: well, atm the error has changed from too much permissions to too little permissions right? [21:36] oCean_ cheers for that :D didn't have a clue what that was for [21:37] oCean_, lsusb also shows the mouse as connected on bus 6, device 2... :) Any suggestions for how I can debug this further? [21:37] fearlessdawg: the permission thing on unix (and by that on linux) is great! :) [21:38] ichbinesderelch_, should i choose yes or no [21:38] ? [21:38] tr3nd: what was the question? [21:38] yeah i understand the basics of permissions - but still to learn them fully [21:38] I'm on my laptop connected to my desktop at home and running virtualbox, I clicked in the vm and it grabbed the mouse and when at my desktop a "right ctrl" releases it but its not working over vnc. Does anyone know how to send a "right ctrl" signal? [21:38] I just installed PIL via apt-get and I guess it didn't install right and I don't know how to find the package and maybe drag it around to the desired location I guess?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:46] powertool08: afraid not - have looked at google and nothing - only thing i can think of is that something is stealing the right-ctrl and not passing it to virtualbox. Would suggest changing the hotkey in virtual box to some other combination and see if that works instead to test that theory [21:46] <_Vi_> it will say some4thing like ext2 ext3 or linux and what not [21:47] <_Vi_> something* [21:47] _Vi_: isnt there a version of ubunut that will just do this for me like fedora does ? [21:47] fearlessdawg: Ok, thanks [21:47] ok ubottu sorry [21:47] <_Vi_> well yes, you could use Gparted, from that too ubuntume_ [21:47] One more... how can I verify that I have installed the 64 version of ubuntu as I might of mixxed up the cd's and I would like to confirm...

Not sure what you are looking for.. === ryan__ is now known as M3TAPHYS1CS [21:57] this program xchat i dont know and i see not much to install a irc server to connect [21:57] racerx: you need the x86_64 version or a PAE server kernel on i386 [21:57] racerx: I think so, I don't think that 4 gigs can be addressed with 32bits ... [21:57] spook__: bitchx :) [21:57] _Vi_: that is kinda true ^^ but best learning is just using linux everday [21:57] <_Vi_> irssi [21:58] SteveHill: is "route -a" a valid command on your system?

I am confused [21:59] spook__: still not sure what your problem is?? [21:59] cdecarlo, you can, that's what PAE is for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [21:59] racerx: with a PAE capable kernel from the server branch, yes [21:59] racerx: you can't switch back without for.matting [21:59] racerx: no [21:59] <_Vi_> spook__: are you wanting to be on two servers at the same time? most irc clients can do that... [22:00] ups [22:00] I understand i would have to reformat everything.

[23:22] tomcat_ha: you could do that - but then you'd have to recompile the kernel [23:22] it says not found [23:22] tomcat_ha: not found?

[23:30] tomcat_ha: this should get you better 3D performance as well -- in case you wanted to do compiz (spinny cube) [23:30] now update manager is running [23:30] bead123: virtual hosting [23:30] hi all. [23:30] i just want to use this laptop for internetting [23:30] oh [23:30] nightrid3r: i am guessing i dont know how do to this or were to start [23:30] anyone? im sure most of you are already using gigabit lan networks.. [23:31] caktux: Ehhhh no [23:31] i hope soulseek runs on ubuntu >_> [23:31] caktux: I'd be willing to bet that most networks out there are 100MB to the desktop [23:31] why whould anyone use utah glx ? [23:31] tomcat-ha: Ubuntu is FUN! and easy'ish' [23:31] caktux: The backend is most assuredly gigabit -- but not the drops to the desktops [23:31] hey I need to install a 64-bit OS over my 32-bit install but somehow make a partition so i don't lose all my home folder information [23:31] bead123: www.webmin.com this will help you setup apache virtual host, get the tar package, not the deb [23:31] I'm trying to use compiz, however when ever i have more than 4 or 5 windows open all the windows are black instead of showing what they should, how can i fix this? [23:31] nodealmsft: cant do it [23:31] I'm using the 180.22 nvidia driver if this helps [23:32] Cpudan80: i thought I was getting in late on the gigabit wagon.. hehe [23:32] !webin [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about webin [23:32] nodealmsft: best thing you can do is partition it and move the stuff [23:32] !webmin [23:32] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [23:32] hey guys i've never done this before [23:32] bead123: but to use virtualhosts you need to have dns point to the ip of your box [23:32] corinth -> http://www.ubuntuaone.com/content/intrepid-update-breaks-ath5k [23:32] also hurray for fiber optic internet! [23:32] not sure if anybody could help me but I just bought an PATA hard drive (the computer is 7 years old) I mange to install ubuntu but when I restart grub gives me a ReadError, anybody has any idea of what can be causing it? [23:32] nodealmsft: In which case - you would make a partition with gparted [23:32] is there a virtualbox-ose channel? [23:32] caktux, It's not just your router/switch, but you also need gigabit ethernet adapters in the computers on your network as well. [23:33] does anyone know how to make a webcam work on adobe flash player 10? [23:33] Cpudan80, right so just make a new partition and throw all data into the partition [23:33] aha! [23:33] this is an ubuntu/debian thing [23:33] SkyLeach -> you found ? [23:33] SkyLeach: Success? [23:33] ubuntu doesn't use .bashrc by default, it's compiled to use .profile instead. [23:33] nodealmsft: yes -- copy everything beneath the home folder over to the new partition [23:33] Ok, i'm having a serious issue with installing 180.22 manually. I need some help. I think my package manager is screwing up the install. [23:33] caktux, For example, I have a gigabit switch, but all my network devices are still 10/100mbit. [23:33] Steelflint: got that as well, and cat6 cables.. [23:33] ln -sf .bashrc .profile = result. [23:33] SkyLeach -> good find [23:34] nodealmsft: when you install 64 bit, mount the new partition as /home (do the advanced partitioner) [23:34] Cpudan80, what do i do doing install to ensure my data doesn't get erased [23:34] is there a server for webcam help? === x_ is now known as mr_sukor [23:34] Cpudan80, lol ok anything i should know about a standard way to setup partition? [23:34] anybody has any idea why my hdd doesnt work? [23:34] Steelflint: so i have my 2 computers on the gigabit switch, connected to my router.. all gigabit"ed" ... just wondering about the speeds actually.. [23:34] SkyLeach: Maybe that would be a good addition to the Forums [23:35] Question: What do I do to install 180.22 nvidia drivers? I tried installing them manually and they work, until i reboot, then it can no longer find a kernel module. [23:35] nodealmsft: nothing special, just resize the existing ones so you can fit the /home one [23:35] Cpudan80, during the install is what im talking about [23:35] I can see ubuntu is installed and all === maxbaldwin is now known as Guest16073 [23:35] Steelflint: the router/modem/wifi part is all 100mbps.. [23:35] perhaps :-) === Guest16073 is now known as maxbaldwin [23:35] nodealmsft: well you have to go to the advanced section, select the HDD/partition with the home stuff on it -- then change the mount option to /home [23:35] Please, anyone. [23:35] nodealmsft: Its all in a nice gui -- I cant remember the exact way it goes though [23:35] Any suggestions on a no video output gxine, but hearing audio. ? [23:35] Ubuntu mightymouse connected with bluetooth, but I can't scroll. Any help? [23:36] SkyLeach: It is a solution to a problematic situation. all good data helps [23:36] caktux, it sounds like your router is still a bottleneck, but you're getting full duplex 100mbit out of it. [23:36] Cpudan80, huh just research it i guess [23:36] what is different of synaptic package manager between add remove program? [23:36] vigo, I'm not even a memeber of the forums, I am generally a gentoo user. [23:36] does anyone know how to make a webcam work on adobe flash player 10? [23:36] but since the other sysadmin is now gone, I inherited the ubuntu/debian machiens. [23:36] *machines. [23:36] mr_sukor, add remove is a subset of what is available from synaptic or apt-get [23:36] Hello? Question above ^^ [23:37] I'll join the forums and help out where I can. [23:37] great [23:37] Steelflint: i tried disconnecting the router, isolating the switch.. since the 2 computers still knew about each other they stayed connected.. speeds stayed the same.. so when they talk to each other the router doesn't seem to affect them.. [23:37] heyyy [23:37] fan speed went up a notch again :| [23:37] go go update [23:37] Ubuntu mightymouse connected with bluetooth, but I can't scroll [23:37] Jack_Sparrow: thanks jack.. [23:37] turkce b0131len0131n0131z varm0131 ya [23:37] SkyLeach: Just post it, please, or do a write up on the process used and then post it...is easy to join,,and fun [23:37] tomcat_ha: you need to reboot after that thing finishes [23:37] yeah i know [23:37] So nobody has had an issue with nvidia drivers 180.22? [23:38] tomcat_ha: oh I thought it had finished and you didnt do it or something [23:38] np [23:38] caktux, Ahh, I know just enough about this to be dangerous, you might be getting interference from something else then. [23:38] Ubuntu mightymouse connected with bluetooth, but I can't scroll [23:38] i decided to update the rest [23:38] Hi I am using kde 4.x and nvidia twinview can I add panels to the tv out of is just for full screen movies and such as I have a 1080p plasma and like to sit on couch and surf [23:38] but now the high fan speed is scaring me :| [23:38] hi [23:38] does anyone know how to make a webcam work on adobe flash player 10? [23:38] Steelflint: I think so.. might just be the OSes and general network overhead... anyway, thanks :) [23:38] or must I use separate X server screens? [23:38] !ru > ssz [23:39] ssz, please see my private message [23:39] cjae: you can add panels to the TV [23:39] hi [23:39] how do I use a -rt kernel with the NVidia binary drivers?

[23:39] cjae: Nvidia makes it nice and easy [23:39] Cpudan80: I did [23:39] ok ... whats the problem? [23:39] does anyone know how to make a webcam work on adobe flash player 10?

[23:45] anyone know? [23:45] !patience Berzerker [23:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:45] how can i skip binaries while diffing directories? [23:45] !patience | Berzerker [23:45] Berzerker: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:45] Cpudan80: sorry wrong channel paste [23:45] cjae: lol np [23:45] Cpudan80: My patience wears thin when I've been trying to get help from this channel/forums and other people for 2 hours [23:45] Berzerker: Sorry to hear that [23:46] If someone will eventually help me, then I'll gladly wait, however, no one even acknowledges my problem. [23:46] berzerker, i am the same way buddy [23:47] how do i get my logitech webcam to work with skype? [23:47] i havnt gotten a respounce yet [23:47] do i have to install the software with wine? [23:47] sachael, [23:47] usually plugin devices work automatically [23:47] from within vim, type help status-line [23:47] I would help if i had any knowledge of linux :P [23:47] Berzerker: maybe nobody know a solution, repeat your question like very 10 minutes, maybe somone enters that can help you [23:47] it says right there that you can set it with ':set statusline' [23:48] for for vimbuddy, the command is ":set statusline=%{VimBuddy()}" [23:48] however, you probably want to do this in your ~/.vimrc [23:48] can anyone help me out with my problem? [23:49] what is the best way to un install ubuntu if i don't have my windows xp pro disk? [23:49] fusionxtc, repeat the question [23:49] I scrolled up and didn't see where you asked [23:49] You need to format to install another OS, do find your XP disd. [23:49] topsub: what do you mean [23:49] * SkyLeach needs to get back to work, so I will help a couple more people and then back to work. [23:49] you want to install windows [23:49] how can i just uninstall ubuntu? [23:49] my webcam works with cheese and other programs but doesnt work with adobe flash player 10 [23:49] i have windows already installed [23:49] what can i do to fix that? [23:49] Anyone here using ibex and ipl3945 ? (instead of the iwl) Can you tell me how well it works? [23:49] fusionxtc: sometimes you just have to wait, it took me 3 years to get my wifi going [23:49] You can't just uninstall it. [23:49] sorry man [23:50] whats the best way to remove ubuntu [23:50] fusionxtc, good question. I have a webcam and I use yahoo! live chat and it works with it. [23:50] topsub: can you read the partition from windows? [23:50] I, however, do not run ubuntu so I will do my best to assist. [23:50] hekaldama what do you mean? [23:50] give me a moment to refresh my memory on how I set mine up, and then I will ask pertinent questions :-) [23:51] how do i get my logitech webcam to work with skype? [23:51] I would imagine you have Ubuntu on a diff partition then your windows partition [23:51] stickam.com runs on flash 10 so flash doesnt recognize the webcam but programs like cheese and skype do. [23:51] i have ubuntu on a different hard drive [23:51] oh, so all you do is choose which hdd to boot on boot? [23:52] when my systems boots a grub menu comes up and i select what OS i want [23:52] fusionxtc, first question: are you running x86 or amd64? [23:52] hey guys I have a problem with the installation of Ubuntu, not sure this is the place to ask for support [23:52] hmm === jon__ is now known as Desu [23:52] amd 64 [23:52] i am having grub problems but i rather just uninstall ubuntu / remove ubuntu [23:52] lollasd: yes it is [23:52] hi...any insite on this:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/308402 [23:52] i have ubuntu on my laptop and thats enough [23:52] lollasd: ask and people will help you [23:53] amd64 meaning the processor? [23:53] fusionxtc, ah! support for 64bit flash is very new, and as such undoubtedly buggy. [23:53] Exactly, Grub is installed to the MBR so if you just remove the partition Grub is going to give you shit. [23:53] ohhhh! [23:53] are you on the box now? [23:53] yes i have heard that flash 9 works well with webcams but flash 10 does not [23:53] i am on my laptop now, its on my desktop [23:53] if so can you pastie / gist me the output from df -h [23:53] but you cant find flash 9 anywhere [23:54] anyone? [23:54] Can someone give me a hand setting up http port forwarding on my router? [23:54] I have a 64bit system here but I just built it from source and have not yet even set up X on it, so I may have more information in a couple of days after getting it operational, but right now I have no way to be certain that my suggestions are accurate. [23:54] fusionxtc: which is your main distro-- if 8.04 it is the default one in the synaptic [23:54] hekaldama, ya give me one second [23:54] k [23:54] ok, here's the problem. I formatted my HD, installed XP on a 15gb partition. Now i'm installing ubuntu. when I want to add a partition everything looks normal. it asks if I want it to be primary or logical. then once I create the first partion (say swap) and I want to create another one, it doesn't ask me if I want it logical or primary, is this normal? [23:54] im running 8.10 right now [23:55] * Jimi__Hendrix is desperate... [23:55] hekaldama,, i have to unplug the hard drive that isn't work and boot into ubuntu for some reason i get error 17 when trying to boot with all 3 hard drive si have plugged in [23:55] skyleach: you do not run ubuntu? [23:56] fusionxtc, not genreally, no, I run gentoo [23:56] lollasd -> once you are in the extended, it will not asked you anymore if you want primary or extended [23:56] fusionxtc: are you sure you want to do this-- may or may not work-- but you have to first unistall your current version of flash [23:56] gentoo? what is that [23:56] using synaptic? [23:56] hmm [23:56] yes to remove it [23:56] fusionxtc, I am learning the differences in ubuntu now because I have inherited a number of debian and ubuntu servers and am supposed to admin them. [23:56] fusion pm [23:56] I see..so it'r normal. and which partition should I create first? doesn the order have any importance? [23:57] fusionxtc: pm ok? [23:57] topsub: can you describe your setup a little more, 3 hdds, 1 windows, 1 ubuntu? [23:57] Im using iwl3495 and I keep getting disconnected. Sometimes every minute, or 5, or every hour. It varies, but tonight its really bad. Is there a fix [23:57] how do u do that i am a n00b with this xchat [23:57] and to answer your question fusionxtc, gentoo is a source-based distribution or "meta distribution" that is arguably the most configurable and developer-friendly linux distribution. [23:57] ohhh! [23:57] hekaldama, yes 750 ubuntu, 750 misc media / data, 74 gig windows. when i plug in my 750 media hard drive i get error 17... also... http://knowmad.pastebin.com/m6028dc63 [23:58] sounds like you got alot of schooling to me [23:58] Lol yea, that's Gentoo in a nutshell. [23:58] hello, may I ask, what are my options for running virtual windows over ubuntu ? [23:58] so no input on why fglrx wont activate? [23:58] hekaldama, so in order to just boot my computer i have to unplug my 750 gig data hard drive otherwise i get that error [23:58] I heard of vmware [23:59] Mimi -> perhaps some power saving mechanism is at work? see if your driver support dis-abling them, what settings, that i dont know, man iwpriv [23:59] * chull smiles [23:59] Infinito-: vmware would work, qemu would work, it depends on what you're trying to do [23:59] error 17 in POST / Boot, or in the actual booting of the kernel [23:59] Infinito-: virtualbox-ose [23:59] I'm trying to use ntp to synchronize my time and the manpage is confusing me. I added "server nw-time.nist.gov" to my /etc/ntp.conf and did /etc/init.d/ntpd restart, but my time still isn't synchronized....can someone help? [23:59] well [23:59] I see..so it'r normal. and which partition should I create first? does the order have any importance? [23:59] hekaldama, right after it says "grub loading..."
