[00:00] ensay looks like there is a lot of info there. I will read it, thank you :) [00:00] hekaldama, that would be in the boot then [00:00] thanks gordonjcp nightrid3r I'll look into those [00:00] Hey all, I was trying to install Windows AFTER installing Linux, but was having problems. Can anyone help out? [00:00] Brack101: if you stop ntpd and say "sudo ntpdate nw-time.nist.gov" does it update your time? [00:00] Hi all. I'm having trouble and I don't know why... When I try to i.e. record my guitar with Ardour I somethimes get this weird messages that Jack is used by another user and that I should check my audio settings? What do I have to do? [00:00] I want to run windows and then try running eclipse inside of windows :p [00:00] let's see how that goes :p [00:00] Infinito- -> you can run eclipse in linux [00:00] uzair: firts windows and then linux is the best option [00:00] Infinito-: why are you trying to run Eclipse in Windows? [00:00] yeah I know [00:01] Uzair, Install Linux AFTER Windows. [00:01] well [00:01] So it doesn't crash every time you do something? [00:01] unfortunately, i've been using linux for a while and backing up all files, clearing the drive then reinstalling is a real pain :( [00:01] is there no way otherwise? [00:01] Why are you running eclipse *at all* is a good enough question [00:01] I'm a flex developer, and the flex plugin for eclipse in windows has some desirable features [00:01] that linux plugin hasn't [00:02] uzair: you could make a copy of your MBR, save it somewhere, then install Windows which will flatten the MBR with its own one [00:02] uzair: windows will f*ckup your linux install anyway [00:02] uzair: then write your Linux MBR back [00:02] and i don't wish to use windows for much else, anyhow.. [00:02] uzair: have you got space partitioned for Windows? [00:02] hey ... on the wubi page it says still developers wanted for mubi, anyone know who might have an update on this? [00:02] Infinito-: could you try running Eclipse in Wine? [00:02] gordonjcp: no...I guess it doesn't [00:02] not too worried about the mbr, i've already replaced that once. problem is that windows keeps thinking logical partitions are primaries and doesn't want to install otherwise [00:02] many ppl run eclipse on windows ... [00:02] should run o.k. [00:02] Brack101: why not? [00:02] Infinito-, you also have the option of running rdesktop to connect to a windows machine using the Windows RDP (remote desktop protocol) and/or VNC to connect to windows. I do not know if the hypervise stuff will virtualize windows, someone else will have to answer that or you can google it if you like. Gnerally, however, people that are doing this wish to run multiple operating systems at the same time. I find that it is a horrid user experience fo [00:02] r a desktop system as graphics and audio are extremely limited since you are forced to use a limited-feature virtual driver. [00:03] gordonjcp, yeah I thought of that too [00:03] woops [00:03] that was a bit long :-) [00:03] Hey, Ubuntu is based on debian unstable, right? [00:03] is there anyway to hide those partitions from windows? or perhaps just format an empty partition to ntfs and then let windows installer go from there [00:03] gordonjcp: can't resolve the host....I could have sworn that was a good one [00:03] topsub: one sec, on the phone sorry [00:03] Brack101: well there's your answer ;-) [00:03] hekaldama, np [00:03] SkyLeach, no, that's not good for me.. I wanna have everything in my own machine :) [00:03] gordonjcp: was I doing it right? adding the entry to ntp.conf and restarting? [00:04] hello [00:04] Infinito-: I'm probably not best placed to advise on how to run Eclipse - I used it for an hour and then ditched it, and recently turned down a job because they used Eclipse [00:04] Brack101: yup, with a good server name that should be fine [00:04] uzair: hiding works with some commercial software at least, not sure if parted supports it [00:04] Infinito-, consider looking into the transgaming setup of Wine. It will run nearly any windows application including games with very good or even identical performance to windows for windows applications. [00:04] gordonjcp: you found it that bad? [00:04] omg gordonjcp , I prefer eclipse over any IDE [00:04] step21: yes [00:05] step21: what if i format through parted before i go to install anything? can we just "skip" the partitioning step w/ windows? [00:05] at least they didn't use VS [00:05] Infinito-: it uses Java, that's enough to put me off ;-) [00:05] SkyLeach, hmm will do [00:05] step21: format empty space to ntfs [00:05] did anybody connect to a edirol V4 (video-mixer) via s-video correctly? I get blink lines and bad resolution, but connected to tv directly work fine. It seems beacause the signal can be to weak. Any suggestions? Thanks [00:05] uzair: no, you have to tell windows at least where to install [00:05] Wine by itself is ok, but slow and not well supported. Transgaming, however, is very well supported and one can avoid the icky virtualization stuff (this is my honest opinion of user experience running virtualized desktop systems, others may differ). [00:05] java <3 [00:05] and not too expensive either. [00:05] step21: yeah, that's fine, but it shouldn't complain then should it since it has a ntfs partition to work with? [00:06] gordonjcp: well, I have nothing against java anymore ... and some ppl coding C who can't memory manage should code more java ... [00:06] Hello all. PCI Ethernet cards are pretty universally supported, right? [00:06] step21: i just don't get why windows doesn't see the partitions as extended/logical [00:06] lousy windows.....only cuz i need dreamweaver :'( [00:06] uzair: what does it say again? [00:06] likemindead: yes [00:07] uzair: dreamweaver is epic fail btw ... just saying [00:07] step21: says there are too many partitions and then won't format [00:07] I thought so. Unlike wireless cards... Thanks. [00:07] how many? [00:07] epic fail? what do you mean [00:07] uzair, learn how to use VIM and you never need dreamweaver again [00:07] and when one considers the inclusion of the ntfs-3g drivers near complete support for NTFS now, one will find that all of the windows applicatoins and settings (from C:\Documents and Settings\username\AppData) and C:\Program Files can all be used by transgaming. [00:07] topsub: so end goal is to get your 750gb out of your Ubuntu [00:07] installation [00:07] gordonjcp: How can I check the current time via CLI? [00:07] so that you can have that storage space? [00:08] well, dell puts a restore partition (1), Extended partition has: (a)ubuntu 8.04 (b)ubuntu 8.10 (c)home (d)swap [00:08] Brack101: date [00:08] "uninstall" as you were saying earlier [00:08] hekaldama, believe so, just remove ubuntu [00:08] hekaldama, yes correct [00:08] Is the Ibex " Create a USB startup disk " under System/Administration a (What is known as a) < Persistent install > ? ? [00:08] okay [00:08] technically, 2 primary partitions (one by dell, the is the extended), but windows sees all as primary [00:08] hekaldama, i have misplaced my win xp pro cd [00:08] one test I would do, is just boot with the windows drive in there [00:08] nite_johnboy: only if you select the persistent home directory [00:08] see if that works [00:09] k i will try that now [00:09] if that does [00:09] set boot priority in BIOS [00:09] boot the xp hdd [00:09] then in disk manager or whatever it is [00:09] !enter | hekaldama [00:09] hekaldama: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:09] format the drive [00:09] how do u cross out text in openoffice.org? [00:09] is that a bot? [00:09] does the order in whcih I create partitions matter? [00:10] uzair: then maybe all are primary and the parition utility fucked up? or some corruption? any way to check / fix part tables? [00:10] interesting, okay, thanks ubottu [00:10] !language | step21 [00:10] step21: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:10] ubottu says you're welcome [00:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:10] sry ... [00:10] nice [00:10] lol [00:10] hekaldama, with just my windows hard drive i get " GRUB loading, please wait... Error 21" [00:10] at least I didn't get insta-banned [00:10] hekaldama, so it seems i need to my windows xp cd [00:10] reinstal grub [00:11] tritium; can you give a little info on that to point me in the right direction - I tried this already with a 16gb usb and only had about 2.5 to gigs left - so must have missed somewhere along the way. thanks [00:11] command to tell the exact version of ubuntu installed [00:11] now can anyone suggest a way of running a -rt kernel with the NVidia binary drivers? [00:11] topsub: seems that way, any other thoughts from others is appreciated [00:11] !version | redvamp128 [00:11] redvamp128: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [00:11] but I would say, you will need it [00:11] step21: i did that once already with a utility called testdisk [00:11] hey nice, found the one and only ubuntu forums post about lupin for mac ... === naptastic is now known as naptastic| [00:11] <_Vi_> How long does it take to dd copy a 40gig hdd anyone know? There's only Xubuntu on it with like maybe 2-3 gigs of stuff ive added [00:12] _Vi_: depends on method of copying ... [00:12] redvamp128: is it a question? [00:12] topsub: hope that helps, I am afk for now [00:12] <_Vi_> step21, its being copied to a USB 2 hdd [00:12] uzair: *no-one* needs Dreamweaver [00:12] lol [00:13] any alternatives (aside from notepad like utils)? [00:13] uzair: back up everything, next time make sure your partition utility works nicer? [00:13] I need to help this guy figure out if he is running 32bit Intrepid or 64bit [00:13] uzair: what do you want to do with DW? [00:13] true enough, i guess i'll have to do it the ol fashion way......STUPID MICROSOFT! [00:13] uzair, alternatives in Ubuntu? Does it have to be WYSIWYG? [00:13] redvamp128: uname -a [00:13] makes things faster [00:13] uzair: The only thing is NVU [00:14] for web [00:14] !info NVU | uzair [00:14] Package NVU does not exist in intrepid [00:14] uzair: srsly? [00:14] :-( [00:14] uzair: no-one doing serious web design uses dreamweaver [00:14] <_Vi_> NVU is outdated, now its Kompozer [00:14] uzair: well it might not be called NVU anymore [00:14] dreamweaver will make your code ugly and by definition slower ... [00:14] Dreamweaver works in wine [00:14] i tried komposer [00:14] no luck with that -- kept crashing :( [00:14] help don't preach?!?! [00:14] was about to try nvu, never heard of srsly [00:14] well, we can't help him reinstall his windows [00:14] <_Vi_> yeah Kompozer has a tenedency to crash if you open a menu up or sneeze the wrong way :/ [00:15] rofl _Vi_ [00:15] uzair: some of the best sites I've ever seen have been done in Textmate ;-) [00:15] it's so true [00:15] uzair: it's older kompozer apparently [00:15] uzair, oh no... that stinks! Well, http://kompozer.net/screenshots.php is not too bad, but there's really not many wysiwyg apps sadly :( [00:15] Cpudan80, which one? [00:15] uzair, you should learn vim ;) [00:15] <_Vi_> GOOD news!! though,,, kompozer works just fine in WINE :) [00:15] uzair: nvu = outdated kompozer [00:15] gordonjcp, that's because all the hipsters are using it :P grrr RoR! [00:16] if adobe ported theyre products to linux [00:16] that would really be something [00:16] uzair: done in gedit on Ubuntu -> http://www.bioreliance.com/ [00:16] problem is i'm not a hardcore web guy -- more into networking/messing around with os's. having to help out someone with web stuff and messing around with css files in text utils is really tiresome and painstaking [00:16] uzair: done in Dreamweaver -> http://www.bioreliance.com/about_us_intro.html [00:16] CS4 works! Photoshop CS4 works great for me [00:16] <_Vi_> franki^, and if they make Adobe opensource that would even be better :) [00:16] !mp3 [00:16] 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 [00:17] uzair: if you're not a serious web guy, you'll probably find it easier to edit stuff in just a plain text editor ;-) [00:17] frankS2, theyre not porting, but they're making BIG efforts to make sure their software works in Wine [00:17] HI [00:17] true enough. so i'll take a look at some of this stuff and see how well it works out [00:17] Hey [00:17] thx for all the help guys [00:17] Mimi, really? why not port it then :p [00:17] sup DI3GO [00:17] [00:18] frankS2, bad economy, they don't want to pay for too many (or good) programmers! [00:18] alrighty, about to go wipe my harddrive off....thanks to Mr. Gates [00:18] xD [00:18] cheers [00:18] Mimi:do u know how 2 change grub 2 boot my windows os on ubuntu8.10 [00:18] <_Vi_> !yay | uzair (Almost?) [00:18] uzair (Almost?): Glad you made it! :-) [00:18] hi all...i am having a problem with my driver (fglrx) i go to system -> hardware drivers -> activate -> password -> nothing changes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/308402 [00:18] purvesh, to boot it EVERY time? Does grub list Windows now? [00:18] btw, any of you guys seen Basically, Dell laptop comes with 2 parti [00:19] oops -- wrong thing [00:19] http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1238129,00.html [00:19] there [00:19] purvesh, if that's what you want, yes, I have done it before [00:19] really interesting way to run win apps on linux [00:19] purvesh, this guide is pretty good: http://beconfused.com/2008/02/12/how-to-make-windows-vista-boot-first-using-grub-in-ubuntu/ [00:20] I can't install ubuntu on a laptop with a sata hd, changed the options of bios in many ways, but ubuntu doesn't start, does anyone know how to fix it? (I've instaled ubuntu for free in my city, but many laptops have this problems). I already tried ubuntu alternate [00:20] When I go to "Preferences"- "Main Menu", when I select the folders to put on the main menu, the checkmarks always uncheck themselves [00:20] uzair, yup, I run Windows in Virtual Box , and WOW is it fast?! :) [00:20] bye guys, need sleep [00:20] Mimi:not i want 2 both linux windows but right now only linux is booting [00:20] gnight [00:20] not sure [00:20] yabuk: what exactly happens? Did you run "check the cd for defects" from the cd's boot menu? [00:21] yabuk -> once you installed and rebooted, it does not boot up? [00:21] anyone? [00:21] hey guys i have a question how do i extract a .tar.gz to a certain directory ? like when its hidden for instance it says extract it to .cairo-dock/themes in my home folder [00:21] Mimi: that way seems to be running as a service, i guess it'd be faster than running a full fledge gui [00:21] myke: -C, see « man tar » [00:21] uzair, o_o Nice! *reads the rest now* [00:22] myke, It may not answer your question , but why are you not using cairo dock from our repos [00:22] is that the command of are you telling me to look at something called man tar [00:22] hi all [00:22] Mimi: i was trying to get it to run on a server and see if clients can use the windows stuff -- but that's all beyond me xD [00:22] myke -> man tar [00:22] jack_sparrow im trying to install a theme for it , that makes it look right on my netbook "msi wind" [00:22] are anyone know stable jabber->icq transports ? [00:22] myke: -C is the switch you want to use. « man tar » has the details [00:22] myke, Good enough answer for me [00:23] sup people [00:23] inkvizitor68sl: Take a look at http://jabberes.org/servers/ [00:23] Mimi: if you know this stuff well, perhaps you can help me out w/ my lil problem on UF (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6593545&postcount=5) [00:23] ok so in terminal i would type "sudo ###.tar.gz -c man tar [00:23] \? [00:23] MattJ: many transports died because AOL...hm.. [00:23] <_Vi_> no myke 'man tar' [00:23] <_Vi_> no quotes [00:24] all transports at .ru zone [00:24] hmm so I'm trying to set up an external monitor to work with my laptop using fglrx [00:24] I've checked cd for defects, the live cd show its firt menu (start ubuntu...; install ubuntu...; check cd...), but it doesn't work after I use "install ubuntu" or "teste ubuntu" [00:24] I used the command aticonfig --initial=dual-head --dtop=horizontal [00:24] inkvizitor68sl: Then I'm sorry I have no idea (haven't used ICQ for a long time) [00:24] lol "ahmuk" [00:24] i just type man tar in terminal? lol sorry i know i seem retarded but im primarily a osx user and wanted to try something different .. i somewhat get linux commands lol [00:24] and that kinda works, I get the two screens at the correct resolutions, but gnome doesn't seem to start properly, no toolbars and right clicking on the desktop does nothing [00:24] does anybody know why that would be? [00:25] yabuk: what does "doesn't work" mean? Don't use that phrase. Instead, explain what happens [00:25] ah uzair my knowledge is REALLY basic. Specially when it comes to "server" stuff [00:25] and second questions.... where there are bemused files now? [00:25] ensay: since the live and alternate cd doesn't work, I can't install [00:25] myke: yes, « man tar » shows you the manual. I've already told you the switch you want to use is -C [00:25] yabuk, If you try ctrl-alt-F2 after it seems to lock up and the drive stops do you get a terminal windoe [00:25] oops, just msg'd [00:25] I've found this problem in action and positivo laptops [00:25] Mimi: lol, np. perhaps we can learn together ;) [00:26] uzair: what's the problem? [00:26] !who > yabuk [00:26] yabuk, please see my private message [00:26] what happened with bemused.sourceforge ? [00:26] yabuk -> so what were you using to install? [00:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6593545&postcount=5 [00:27] gordonjcp, ^^ [00:27] <_Vi_> How long does a dd copy take for like copying a Xubuntu 8.04 + maybe 2-3 gigs added to a USB 2 external hdd, its already been going for about 20 mins...im getting concerned... [00:27] uzair: I don't really understand that ;-) [00:27] it's a thread i started on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6593545&postcount=5 [00:27] _Vi_: is it really running at USB2? [00:27] whats the directory for your home folder /home ? [00:27] <_Vi_> its being copied to a usb 2 hdd gordonjcp [00:28] _Vi_: but is it actually attached as USB2? [00:28] basically, a guy got win apps running on linux through vmware running as a service. i was hoping to do that as well, however have it run on a server and have clients be able to connect to it [00:28] _Vi_: also, how are you copying it? [00:28] <_Vi_> im hoping so [00:28] ensay, jack_Sparrow, jrib: ok, I'll explain it better. [00:28] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, im using dd [00:28] _Vi_: dd will copy the *whole disk* [00:28] <_Vi_> i know [00:28] purvesh, are you looking at the grub guide I sent you? If so, everything going alright? [00:28] _Vi_: blank bits will be copied verbatim [00:28] gordonjcp, or a partition [00:28] <_Vi_> that's what i wan [00:28] how do i get the time to update via ntp on the command line? [00:29] what is the best music format to use in Ubuntu Intrepid? And what is the best media player to use that is Light weight? [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: or a partition, yes [00:29] _Vi_: how big *in total* is the thing you're copying? [00:29] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, it copies blank parts too?! [00:29] <_Vi_> 40 gig [00:29] MethinX: i personally love mplayer -- it's a command line tool, however really powerfull [00:29] _Vi_: it copies *the whole thing*, that's sort of the point [00:29] <_Vi_> ... [00:29] thank you uzair [00:29] _Vi_: how would it know not to copy the blank bits? It's making an image of the disk - it's a perfect copy [00:29] np [00:30] <_Vi_> right [00:30] <_Vi_> makes sense [00:30] uzair: tbh I know nothing about Windows [00:30] myke: no, it's usually /home/USERNAME [00:30] is there a website with commands to help with the mplayer expieience? [00:30] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, so that a side, how long would you estimate it? [00:30] _Vi_: you'll be there all night [00:30] <_Vi_> wonderful [00:30] MethinX, their site is probably the best resource, however man pages are good enough to start [00:30] _Vi_: do "ls -lh /name/of/destination/file" [00:30] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, can i safely cancle it? [00:30] oh yeah [00:31] _Vi_: but like I say, do ls -lh on the file you're creating and see how big it is [00:31] uzair thanks [00:31] welcome [00:31] MethinX have you found their site? [00:32] can some list the site where you can ask a question of ubottu? [00:32] probably !help or something [00:32] !help [00:32] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:32] nope [00:32] oh wait, yeah [00:32] uzair: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:32] Mimi:actually i mistakely change something in grub i'm a new user so i also want windows also but it will nt boot [00:32] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, ummm i'm using Live Puppy CD to do this... long story [00:32] hi I have a quick question and wondering if anyone could help [00:33] xscottx3, we can try [00:33] gordonjcp: ls will only tell the size of _Vi_'s copied part if he is copying to a file. It won't show how far dd has gotten copying to a partition. [00:33] how would I go about seeing who is using my wireless internet using the terminal? [00:33] my computer has a c-media mixer sound card [00:33] is it possible? [00:33] Anyone know how to enable accent marks to letters in Ubuntu [00:33] and it is not working [00:33] stroyan: yes [00:33] _Vi_: are you copying to a file, or a partition? [00:33] well no sound is playing to be exact [00:33] <_Vi_> to a partition [00:34] lol, wireless & terminal are two things which i never got working together.....well, just once actually [00:34] xscottx3: that would be more to do with your wireless access point [00:34] <_Vi_> gordonjcp, it just finsihed [00:34] <_Vi_> finished* [00:34] xscottx3: lol, you could try links ;) [00:34] _Vi_: well aren't you glad you didn't abort it [00:34] ok, so as a I am connect wirelessly to the router I would not be able to find this information? [00:34] <_Vi_> :) [00:34] xscottx3: it depends on the wireless router [00:35] * _Vi_ goes to check the damage... ill keep you posted gordonjcp one sec heh :/ [00:35] What would be a good application for burning .cue images?

[01:27] yes [01:27] something like that [01:27] except in pulse audio [01:27] afroken: use xfce4-mixer [01:27] mindframe: the last time i reinstalled this system because i accidently installed some updates that i am not suppose to be using [01:28] jp: thanks [01:28] ActionParsnip, the problem is that I lost the sound after kernel update , is there a way to unroll the updates? i also got kernel panic on the new kernel and now using the old kernel but still no sound... [01:28] mindframe: and i always start looking inside of the forum first [01:29] w33d5: you're welcome, next step would be using sar for detailled logs of your system it is in sysutils package (I think) [01:29] is there any cheat program like the windows xp "Cheat Engine" for linux? [01:29] gmm46: what is cheat engine ? what does it do ? [01:29] ok one more - so i want to install LXDE to use remotely "ssh -C -X user@host lxde " should i install the "meta-package" or "common" [01:30] ttols, lol @ ur name [01:30] i want LXDE to be as lightweight as possible [01:30] how do i such down X on ubuntu 8.10? [01:30] shut down* [01:30] afroken: you can reboot then press esc to show the installed kernels and boot to the older kernel [01:31] ctrl alt backspace does somehting [01:31] onthefence928, you mean completely shut down [01:31] special [01:31] afroken: you will find yuo need to install / configure the sound card to work under the new kernel [01:31] ActionParsnip, i'm using the older kernel,,,,but still no sound [01:31] its very strange [01:31] onthefence928, without the computer still running after the system halts? [01:31] What is the shell command to make an .ISO image of CD in DVD/Burner combo drive? [01:32] booksbuggy: i think i need drop my GUI for the installation of this driver [01:32] oh [01:32] I seem to have screwed up my x11 setup. how do i reset it? [01:32] afroken: maybe something else got updated too, i'd look at setting up the card as if it never worked and it should be ok [01:33] Is there a way to download the sent mails (which were sent via web interface) ? [01:33] ActionParsnip, I wonder if i should work on getting the new kernel running or forget about and focus on the sound? [01:33] hi everyone low sound in speaker and no sound in headphone help please [01:33] ConstantineXVI: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:33] nite_johnboy: you could cat your Cdrom into an .iso [01:33] onthefence928, i think this might work:http://theos.in/news/ubuntu-linux-shutdown-the-x-server/ [01:33] matisse: depends on the webmail [01:34] afroken: if you boot to the newest kernel and read through: dmesg | less [01:34] afroken: it may give some clues [01:34] nightrid3r: is IMAP essential? [01:34] nite_johnboy: the most common command would dd if=/dev/cdrom of=foo.iso [01:34] onthefence928, i have never tried to shutdown xserver [01:34] ConstantineXVI: run that comand then restart x (ctrl + alt + backspace) [01:34] matisse: no if your webmail also supports pop3 it will work [01:34] ActionParsnip, the new kernel boots to kernel panic i get no access to terminal, something like VFS can't mount blocks or something... [01:35] bebin: open your mixer settings [01:35] bebin: right click the speaker icon near the clock open vol control [01:35] ActionParsnip, would you recommend focusing on the new kernel of ignoring it and just getting the sound working? [01:35] afroken: then i'd get an fsck in there, boot to root console from recovery mode and check them out [01:35] ok [01:35] gtg [01:35] bye [01:35] bebin: hit preferences - check PCM [01:35] whats the ipconfig equiv in linux? [01:35] bebin: then crank it up [01:36] nightrid3r: then how do I find out, if it works? [01:36] w33d5, ifconfig [01:36] ActionParsnip, fsck from recovery? [01:36] afroken: up to you entirely, if you were happy with the old kernel, use it, if you think the new one will improve your system , do that [01:36] jp: thanks [01:36] !ifconfig | ubottu [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig [01:36] ActionParsnip, was happy with the old one... [01:36] matisse: ask your mail provider [01:36] bebin: I wouldnt go up to 100% on the PCM mixer, it might distort the sound -- prob 80% [01:36] * jp_sf 0-0 [01:36] afroken: show gub screen, select recovery mode for your desired kernel then choose root console [01:36] ActionParsnip, ok, then fsck? [01:36] afroken: you will then have to umount the partitions and you can then fsck them [01:37] nightrid3r: good answer :D [01:37] fsck /dev/partition name [01:37] afroken: sudo fdisk -l will show you all partitions [01:37] Cpudan80: yes i did it but no effect [01:37] bebin: try the different mixers [01:37] ActionParsnip, btw- how will fsck help my sound problem? [01:37] there we go, whoever helped me [01:38] afroken: you are getting errors about mountings failing, sounds like a drive issue to me [01:38] ConstantineXVI: np man ;) [01:39] what is there thats comparable to ubuntu's gnome's panel's world clock when you click the clock on the panel for windows xp? [01:39] ActionParsnip, oh, thats on the new kernel...ok, anyway thanks for your help [01:39] Cpudan80: i tried but no change [01:39] Decepticon: ask in ##windows dude [01:39] ok [01:39] Decepticon: you are chasing a windows app [01:39] Cpudan80: i changed the mixers but still no effect on headphone] [01:39] Hello, Im extremely new to linux.

[01:40] Cpudan80: search for -dump in « man mplayer » [01:41] Cpudan80: speakers has a low volume but headphone has none [01:41] ActionParsnip, one more question, lspci says my card is Intel Corporation 82801G , how do i know what driver i need? the wiki said to look here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel but... [01:41] Funqhaus, USB drives should automount when you plug them in [01:42] bebin: maybe its an audio driver issue -- go to system --> prefs --> sound and switch to ALSA === brandon__ is now known as VolcomSkater [01:42] irc://irc.sceneaccess.org === VolcomSkater is now known as Volcom [01:42] does any body know how to download and install because when i download it will not open [01:43] Volcom: download what ubuntu 8.10 ?

[01:58] Cpudan80 no it does not show up on sudo mount -a Fresh reboot etc, still does not show up. [01:58] mike12, open a browser to paste.ubuntu.com ; in the terminal type: cat /etc/apt/sources.list copy and paste to browser window then save and give us the url [01:59] mike12: it meant something is wrong with the software sources [01:59] ok [01:59] lshal reports input.xkb.model = 'sun6' but also input.xkb.rules = 'evdev'. Is that right? [01:59] well also what bazhang is saying [01:59] Funqhaus: ok - so you're going to have to add it back to the fstab file [01:59] ActionParsnip, anyway thanks, do i need to reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop..?

But my FSTAB only lists the other 2 drives [02:01] carlf: maybe it needs different options, do the keys generate events in xev? [02:01] Funqhaus: hrm...

[02:01] Funqhaus, is this a device that is supposed to automount and appear on the desktop, which you tried to change the mountpoint with right click? [02:01] Thank you [02:01] ActionParsnip, thanks, i dont mean to flame [02:02] bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/108073/ [02:02] Semidious yes I did. Thats where the problem started. I went tot he "drive" tab and tried to point it to a folder in my home directory I had created to use as the mount point. [02:02] bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/108073/ [02:02] m [02:02] Ut Oh,,is there an 8.04 version?

[02:03] Thank you [02:03] yea [02:03] Funqhaus, well thats your problem. I did that to one of mine. Never really did figure it out but I remembered that error. I believe you have to reset the prefs of HAL somewhere. nickrud i'm hoping you know more about this than I do. [02:03] nickrud hehe ok thanks though. Just trying to get this going. [02:04] bazhang what should i do [02:04] mike12, what are you doing when you get that error [02:04] hello, there is my xorg.cong file , i'm trying to install nvidia 6600gt drive , but i can't what should i do?

[02:05] bazhang im sorry? [02:05] Funqhaus, do alt-f2 gconf-editor, then navigate to /storage/volumes ; one of the devices listed there will have a path with a / in it. unset (right click, select unset) that key. The path you use there is a dir name under media. If you want to change the mountpoint out of /media , you'll need to set it in fstab [02:05] mike12, add/remove menu? or network-manager [02:05] Cpudan80, it was never in fstab. HAL automounts the drive in Ubuntu. I had that same problem. I wanted my drive to always be mounted and not with the name Ubuntu gave it. I ended up adding it to fstab to fix it.

[02:06] network manager [02:06] Semidios: HAL will use the label of the partition if you set one [02:06] Semidios: I see [02:06] ActionParsnip: I just can't seem to get them to show up in emacs running under screen or on the console. [02:06] jrib, thanks i'll have to remeber that. [02:07] bazhang network manager i believe.... i use it to get new games and such from linux [02:07] Funqhaus: check the label on the partition [02:07] carlf: if you run xev in terminal, does it generate events when you press the keys? [02:08] anyone? helo..... [02:08] bazhang what should i do [02:08] ActionParsnip: Yes. It does. It also seems to generate unique events for the various combinations of Meta and Shift. [02:08] That one might work, I basically need it to plot some new charts, is there any nautical mapping software available..thank you [02:09] carlf then use Xmodmap to map the keycodes to the inputs manually [02:09] Hi all. Is there a shutdown option in grub? [02:09] Hello everyone [02:09] nickrub AHA! That was it. Thank you VERY much. I thought I could just point to any folder I wanted through the properties dialog.

[02:18] ActionParsnip, personally I use ps -A most of the time anyway [02:18] nickrud: oh yeah, but if you try it n a diferent distro it may not fly [02:18] galexcd, it's desktop background iamge [02:18] jove, i think its svg file format [02:18] oh not the icon? [02:18] * nickrud says pfft to other distros [02:18] any format should work then [02:19] rahduke, everything I see there is normal [02:19] nightrid3r: did you get this link Application Information - Google Gadgets [02:19] galexcd, if I have the pict of jpeg how do I convert it to svg [02:19] redvamp128: yup [02:19] * rdw200169 this is a test [02:19] you could use inkscape [02:19] nightrid3r: is that close enough to the sidepanel for you? [02:19] rdw200169, disable please [02:19] Inkscape vector graphics editor [02:19] redvamp128: yes thanks [02:20] hmm...I open it, then Ubuntu 8.10 does not recognize it [02:20] rdw200169: looks funky [02:20] ActionParsnip, I thought I'd have to have some sort of diminutive linux install that launches shutdown as soon as it started. [02:20] nickrud: strange, is there a way to at least stop this getty service? also is it possible his firefox installation is infected or broken.... [02:20] Download and install Inkscap image editor it can read and save in SVG formats [02:20] dsnyders: nar grub is really powerful [02:20] ActionParsnip: sorry, i'm working on a Xchat plugin for Peddy [02:20] err inkscape vector graphics editor [02:20] dsnyders: you may want to close your lappy to test ;) [02:21] rahduke2 you don't want to stop the gettys. Those are the virtual consoles you see when you hit clt-alt-f1 - f6. (clt-alt-f7 to get back to X) [02:21] galexcd, do you the link of download Inkscape vector ? [02:21] Hello folks - I am new to linux and changing from XP to ubuntu for my main PC. I have been fighting with sound for a week and a half after I installed ATI drivers for video card. I have gone through doc as best as I can do but real green in linux. [02:21] hey guys, i didnt want to ask this in the mysql chat in here of being ridiculed but after doing a tutorial on installing a local web server which had me install mysql and phpmyadmin i must ask. not know anything about what i was doing i looked into some tutorials of what exactly mysql is. after doing some ive soem to the conclusion that mysql is just a hard to manuever spreadsheet. so my question is, is mysql just a hard [02:21] to maneuver spreadsheet or is there more to it? and why is have it necessary for a local web server and not just apache by itself? [02:21] !inkscape [02:21] Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics drawing application - see http://www.inkscape.org/ for more [02:21] jove, if you are running ubuntu just search for it in add/remove [02:21] ActionParsnip, I'm editting menu.lst as we speak... [02:21] nickrud: i dont know what those are can u gimmie a quik overview [02:21] bazhang: what did you get? [02:21] grkblood13: mysql is a database server [02:22] ok this seems to be some xchat server [02:22] hmm [02:22] !give me a test [02:22] hi [02:22] * DeadJones gives me a hard drive [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about give me a test [02:22] * aperson gives me a bag full with Michael Jacksons dropped noses [02:22] rahduke2 try hitting clt-alt-f2 . You can log in there, those are the real 'terminals'. clt-atl-f7 to get back to the gui [02:22] * ActionParsnip hm [02:22] galexcd, is the name listed exact as Inkescape ...? [02:22] test [02:22] DeadJones, aperson please disable those [02:22] grkblood13: read lots online about it, everything is hard at first [02:22] jove, inkscape [02:22] now it is showing ATI as card0 [02:23] carl, so unless i am deleloping some website that had hardcore math involved and load of databases its not necessary? [02:23] rahduke2, gettys are what you would use if you only had a server install, or if your gui fails you can use them to fix it (for example) [02:23] galexcd, is it inside "graphic" category ? [02:23] grkblood13: yes, unless you know you need it, then you don't need it [02:23] jove, sudo apt-get install inkscape [02:24] !give me another test [02:24] * DeadJones gives me a hampster [02:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:24] * aperson gives me a rather large squid [02:24] ActionParsnip, im not saying its hard, im just asking if its something i need. all that i want is a server to put files on. phpmyadmin make a pretty gui but all it seems to do is manage mysql. am i wrong? [02:24] DeadJones, aperson get rid of those, or leave the channel please [02:24] nickrud: ahhh i hit that and i dont know how to come back [02:24] i havnet looked into phpmyadmin that hardyet [02:24] phpmyadmin is only useful if you have mysql, otherwise no need for it [02:24] jove, bazhang has an easier way if you cant find it, but when i search under all for "inkscape" it is the only result [02:24] rahduke, clt-alt-f7 [02:24] rahduke, possibly ctl-atl-f8 [02:24] much thanks [02:24] !one more test [02:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about one more test [02:24] ok, so if i have apache is the a package that installs a nice gi to manage an apahce2 server? [02:24] galexcd, try apt-cache search inkscape in terminal [02:25] grkblood13: im not sure, maybe someone else can answer [02:25] there a* [02:25] need the !give [02:25] grkblood13: sorry, never used a gui for that [02:25] Funqhaus is it internal or external harddrive [02:25] bazhang why? [02:25] what about a way to make the server password authenticated? [02:25] google? [02:25] I'm have a problem with network Manager, it didn't stop correctly closing Ubuntu 8.04 and give me a series of error [02:26] grkblood13, mysql is a full fledged relational database. drupal and other content management systems run on it; many businesses run million dollar databases with it [02:26] galexcd, apt-cache search packagename/related term will let you know quicker [02:26] !ebox | grkblood13 [02:26] grkblood13: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[02:27] rahduke2, something wrong on your desktop :) [02:27] hahaha === h[a]kr is now known as ahkr [02:27] yea, i prolly should, i installed mysql phpmyadmin and apache, mysql was the first of the 3 i looked in to [02:27] chill my desktop works great === ahkr is now known as hakr [02:27] and ctrl alt f2 and 6 work fine [02:28] !give me a test [02:28] * DeadJones gives me Elton John [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about give me a test [02:28] * aperson gives me a cellphone [02:28] rahduke2, can you clt-alt-f2 to a console? Then somehow you're just not seeing the getty processes. If you have those fX consoles, you have gettys [02:28] I love Ubuntu [02:28] I think I'm ready to migrate to a more advanced distro [02:28] disconnect [02:29] but ... I dont wanna deal with setup pains in the butt, like wireless and stuff. [02:29] ok so i guess this thing is fine, since i upgraded it seems ok anyhow. thanks alot nickrud [02:29] any recommendation ? [02:29] anybody familiar with ettercap in here?

For the kitchen sink, get eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/europa/ [02:33] jrib, i'm using gedit but i'm not a fan of the syntax highlighting. It only has about half of the standard functions do anyhing [02:33] Wait, you just listed a hust list of editors, but not emacs?

[02:35] I have the super slow internet download stops and what to do to increase the connection [02:35] j vi [02:36] yeah, what about vim? [02:36] girao, is this dialup or adsl [02:36] girao: are you sure it's your computer and not the connection? [02:37] thanks for all the suggestions guys. It's a great help.

[02:38] rdw200169, vim -c "help :42" [02:38] windows [02:38] windows xp [02:38] gonewestcoast: i think vi is a soft link to vim so they shouldn't differ [02:38] unop, what does that do? [02:38] girao, that has nothing to do with ubuntu [02:39] gonewestcoast, loads .. vim extends vi .. set nocompat # and you should see life become a little more difficult [02:39] rdw200169, try it out :) [02:39] !virus girao [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about virus girao [02:39] unop, i did, there's no help for :42 [02:39] sisto even if vi is a symlink to vim they should still differ. as should /bin/sh even if it's a symlink to /bin/bash [02:39] unop oh, it's one of those easter eggs [02:39] rdw200169, hmm, maybe you don't use vim ? [02:40] rdw200169, indeed [02:40] unop, yeah, i saw that a while ago reading the vim tips and tricks [02:40] unop you put the : in the wrong place, btw [02:40] I know but I'm with ubuntu and the Internet is on the same slow [02:40] girao, is this dialup or adsl [02:40] girao: What other computers are on your network?

[02:43] how can increase the Internet connection [02:43] NM won't recognize that I'm connected to the internet. I'm also having problems with diseasedly low torrent speeds, even though my ports are wiiide open. [02:43] I only said that one -- someone was asking for a virus [02:44] that is no no-- [02:44] other than the only thing there maybe out there is some test files and that is about it [02:44] girao, what is slow loading, please give much more info [02:44] redvamp128, I never once thought you were abusing the bot, just didn't know you could talk to it privately :) [02:44] ahh [02:45] Bazhang, it became a 'broken package' when i was updating... had to do something like: dpkg --configure -a === TwoEqualsTen is now known as Hikeractive [02:45] redvamp128, actually i was trying to get ubottu to explain virus on ubuntu :P [02:45] redvamp128, the impossibility for them right now [02:45] I really love geany. Thanks for the suggestion! [02:45] I wanted to increase the Internet connection or know the door [02:45] girao, know the door? [02:46] wine can get a virus though-- a reboot and the virus can't reproduce (or a log off) [02:46] I'm new to IRC. I just got xchat. Anyone got some tips (besides normal talking like i'm doing now) I can use? [02:46] booksbuggy it's not impossable for linux to have a virus. it's just not likely that one will survive long in the wild.

[02:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:48] ok i use to be able to ssh into a box, and then run x11vnc then see the actuall running display...for whatever reason i am unable to do this with the ubuntu at the house...any...suggestions?

[02:49] Ubuntu Unleashed: Howto: Tweak your Internet connection and maximize your bandwidth in Ubuntu/Linux via sysctl! [02:50] reports vary if the tweak works or not... [02:50] can anyone tell me if its possible to make a fat32 drive inside ubuntu after i installed it using ext3 for the entire drive? [02:51] redvamp128: will this make my NM recognize mydang interweb connection? [02:51] devilsshadow, not without reformatting [02:51] DevilSShadoW: uses systemrescuecd to resize the partition [02:51] snap [02:51] DevilSShadoW, sure. if you resize that volume and create a new one [02:51] well i'll do anything as long as i can have a drive that win xp will recognize [02:51] unused_bagels: no-- this was in reference to girao asking about making it faster [02:51] * grendal_prime uses systemrescuecd all the time /me loves the qt_parted app on there. [02:51] well if you do that you are limited to the ammount of data that is on the volume [02:51] don't resizing a partition take a long time? [02:51] can u play real player files from web with mplayer [02:52] booksbuggy unanswerable, too many variables [02:52] booksbuggy: no well depending on the size but ive created and restored 4 gig partions in 7 min max, so just resizeing the partion very little time [02:52] well, does anyone know how I can fix my NM problem and reclaim my torrenting bandwidth? [02:52] now learning the software is a bit of a curve, but im sure there is a howto on the web. [02:52] unused_bagels: waht about your dangel- [02:53] redvamp128: what's a dangel- ? [02:53] unused_bagels: oops you said mydang I thought it was a dongle mispelled [02:53] oh [02:54] is using systemrescuecd the only way to resize the volume? [02:54] redvamp128: lol no. NM isn't recognizing my internet connection. I have my ports forwarded and a static IP, and still only torrent at 3-11kbps [02:54] unused_bagels: I don't really use torrents [02:55] does anyone here know anything about Network Manager and/or torrenting? [02:55] DevilSShadoW: I would probably download a live linux and use G-parted to resize the ubuntu install and create the drive [02:55] When I try to install 8.04/8.10 server, it's failing when trying to install grub. It fails on lilo too. I've checked the BIOS and boot sector protection is disabled. The disk controller is a Mylex DAC960, has 4 x 73Gb HDDs in RAID-5. dmesg shows them all being detected ok, as is the 210Gb logical drive. What can I do? [02:56] how can i make just one module? giving that i have the linux source. i dont want to install all modules again [02:56] DevilSShadoW: -- a small linux live like puppylinux should suffice and is light on memory... [02:56] what up === ubuntu is now known as bookmark [02:56] i am REALLY wondering, how is it possible for to change your passwd as sudo? [02:56] i mean i do it [02:56] it works, but what is the logic here? [02:56] sudo passwd [02:56] yes i know [02:56] DevilSShadoW: though to note once you reboot to ubuntu-- it will send it into a device check - e2fsk cycle upon reboot [02:57] uh... does anyone see a violation in that? [02:57] besides me [02:57] you can change it as many times as you like [02:57] bookmark: that changes roots password not yours [02:57] i'm using the live ubuntu cd [02:57] yes i knows [02:57] is this not a bad thing? that a standard user can do this? [02:57] i do not see a problem with that [02:57] or is ubuntu an admin user? [02:57] its a live cd [02:57] super user [02:57] ok so is it only set up like that on a live cd? [02:57] help, Ubuntu keeps booting into initramfs [02:58] yes [02:58] DevilSShadoW: did you catch that? inbetween the popins? [02:58] ah... [02:58] what setting is that? [02:58] DevilSShadoW if you don't mind having the filesystem within a file on another filesystem, then the answer to your question "is it possable..." yes it is possable to make an fat32 filesystem within linux if all the disk space was allocated to the root fs. example: dd if=/dev/zero of=my_new_vfat_filesystem bs=4096 count=1024 ;mkfs.vfat my_new_vfat_filesystem ;mount -o loop my_new_vfat_filesystem /mnt [02:58] if you know [02:58] last time I had to reinstall Ubuntu for that problem [02:58] i mean its basically allow anyone to be root [02:58] what setting is what? [02:58] I an't keep reinstalling it again and again and again [02:58] on the live cd [02:58] um.... [02:59] does anyone here know anything about Network Manager and/or torrenting? [02:59] yes but you say a regular install isn't like that [02:59] how do i make my live cd that way [02:59] correct [02:59] if i want to [02:59] DevilSShadoW hope that didn't turncate. it was longet than i thought [02:59] not run a live cd [02:59] sounds like my simple mind only comprehends reinstall [02:59] hehe [02:59] delete the ubuntu user [02:59] unused_bagels: ask away and if people know the answer they will probably answer... [02:59] redvamp128: lol no. NM isn't recognizing my internet connection. I have my ports forwarded and a static IP, and still only torrent at 3-11kbps [02:59] but then it will come back if you reboot [02:59] ack sorry [03:00] dont get me wrong it's not extremely irgent for me to have a fat32 partition [03:00] sorry redvamp128 [03:00] well, does anyone know how I can fix my NM problem and reclaim my torrenting bandwidth? [03:00] i just think its a waste for 160gb for linux [03:00] DevilSShadoW: did your problem get solved? I was going to recommend you get a program in windows that can read an ext3 partition rather than converting to fat32. [03:00] dangit [03:00] ok miranda_psi [03:00] DevilSShadoW: try this instead-- download a linux live cd like puppy linux (which already has G-parted) [03:00] right...... [03:00] anyone? [03:00] a program in windows would be great [03:00] NM won't recognize that I'm connected to the internet. I'm also having problems with diseasedly low torrent speeds, even though my ports are wiiide open. [03:00] DevilSShadoW: I will find you a link, hold on [03:00] sorry, I kept pasting the wrong sentence. [03:00] you could eject the disk, but it doesn't interest me any more [03:01] thanks [03:01] i just need to be able to copy from linux to windows [03:01] i just didn't know if it was the same on all linux [03:01] Ubuntu keeps loading into initramfs. Someone help. [03:01] like... how would i make sure? [03:01] because i don't have linux installed right now [03:01] DevilSShadoW: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ is the one I use. It's not perfect, but it works.

THAT user can do sudo passwd. [03:03] uicn.net [03:03] dayo, but not all users? [03:03] unused_bagels: though it actually could be your ISP throttling your connection for P2P traffic [03:03] i ran a update-manager -d to go from hardy to intrepid and the cpu was shut off during install now when i try to resume with the same command i get errors and it will not start how do i clean this up? [03:04] unused_bagels: did you catch my answer-- ??? [03:04] redvamp128: I can't be, because I'm using uncommon ports, the same ones I used on windows [03:04] bookmark: if u install ubuntu and during the install u create the user bookmark, THAT user bookmark can sudo passwd. now, after installation is complete, let's say to type 'adduser dayo'. User dayo will NOT be able to sudo passwd. u would have to sudo passwd FOR user dayo [03:04] redvamp128: port 57000 [03:04] What do you do, when the screen is all scrambled up and unusable, and the xorg.conf isn't complete?

Preferably, not case sensative, etc. [03:05] im thinking about just downloading the whole intrepid cd and installing from the cd but if i can do it from apt-get it would be better [03:05] Doesn't ubuntu read the xorg conf from /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [03:05] can someone please help [03:05] oipat: try ctrl alt backspace and start over? :/ [03:05] god this totally blows [03:05] unused_bagels: they can still detect the type of trafic it is from examining the packets [03:05] .net [03:05] pandase: Iirc, you can [03:05] bookmark: BUT, if u now add dayo to sudo group, then dayo will *now* be able to sudo passwd *too* [03:05] dayo, thank you [03:05] Leefmc: ?

[03:07] jp_sf: On a similar note, is there any type of filesystem log? [03:07] ALSO! I just ran something on speedtest.net, and I only got half speed. is this going to be affected by the fact that my wife is streaming netflix in the other room?

[03:11] root______: Yea, but generally its considered that your messaging the channel, and not "every user in the channel". Imo, if you message a user, you private message them, if you message a channel, you message a channel, not each user in it. [03:11] bit ot anyway :o [03:11] miranda_psi: did you catch my last post?

[03:19] root______: so If I want to disable du for user Joe, I should put "Joe :!du *" in sudoers? [03:19] root______: or :!du Joe [03:19] unused_bagels: what error do you get? [03:20] hide1713 this would be an example of not letting anyone use "sudo du" %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL:!du * [03:20] miranda_psi: it wouldn't let me copy the code in the terminal :? [03:20] root______: Thx. That helps a lot [03:20] hide1713 remember sudoers is complex, you should really read man sudoers before you edit it. [03:21] unused_bagels: don't know why it does that... [03:21] root______: Sure, I did [03:22] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tips before. I set my swappiness to 10 [03:22] hide1713 while the default ubuntu sudoers (which i can't stand) simply makes one user "root jr." the intended use of sudo is far more refined. i would suggest to one and all that they take the time to learn about sudo/sudores/visudo and tighten security on their box to their own spec's [03:23] is there a better/faster torrent program that is kept up to date? === far is now known as Guest17055 [03:23] <_Vi_> deluge-torrent is nice [03:24] _Vi_: I'm using deluge, and it won't let me update. [03:24] How can I set the resolution to 1600x1200 by command line? [03:24] unused_bagels: deluge is the bets one I have found to date and i am always trying different ones - the next best is ktorrent and you can always resort to utorrent under wine [03:24] oipat: probably with xorg.conf [03:24] <_Vi_> hmmm for me its the opposite, Deluge is the ONLY torrent that lets any traffic through unused_bagels [03:25] miranda_psi: I liked utorrent in windows. _Vi_ : Why won't it let me update the program? I keep trying to install the new package. Should I uninstall? [03:25] ScottG: Thats what I'm used to aswell, but the xorg.conf contains 33 lines, 16 of which are comments. [03:25] <_Vi_> unused_bagels: hmm are you behind a firewall? [03:26] How do I define my own shortcut keys? Like, run program x when key y is pressed. [03:26] oipat: Do you have a "Screen" section?

[03:26] end [03:26] <_Vi_> unused_bagels: you should be ok then, im not sure why it would do that, is that true with all apps or just torrent? [03:26] oipat: Look in the screen section then the subsection "display" [03:27] Does anyone here have excel 2007 and is willing to make me some test files? [03:27] _Vi_: just deluge won't let me install the new package. [03:27] _Vi_: I'm using version .5 [03:27] <_Vi_> unused_bagels: i would uninstall it then and reinstall [03:28] _Vi_: ok, trying it. will I have to reboot after uninstall for it to take?

I'm burning a data DVD which in Windows IIRC was being set as Joliet, but I never knew the finer spc points, only knowing it was the "norm". I see this as an option with some sane looking defaults, but its listed like "custom". The defaul is a very generic "UNIX/LINX +... [03:40] <[TK]D-Fender> ...Windows". What does this really imply and which format should I pick for maximum compatibility? [03:40] xbuntu? does that affect running of my computer if i enable it?

[04:00] Hello! I can't open .rar files in Linux. Archive manager just says 'Archive type not supported'. How can I extract .rar files in Ubuntu?

[04:02] jrib, 2gigs [04:02] glick: only reason for 64 bit is if you want to use 4gb+ of ram really [04:03] why would kacpid be running on my gnome install ? [04:03] when my laptop goes to battery the screen dims, but when it goes to AC it doesn't brighten again, anyone know how to change that? [04:04] so only if i want to use like more than 4 gigs of ram? [04:04] glick: yes [04:05] hmmm ok [04:05] glick: if you plan on being in that situation, then you should install 64bit, otherwise just go with 32bit [04:05] ok, thanks [04:05] jiffe20 I sent you a message [04:05] yeah, reduce backlight brightness isn't checked [04:06] jiffe20: Maybe the battery has reached it cycles, batteries have Life Cycles, they can be recharged X# of times then they are kaput.

[04:11] thank you [04:11] ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:11] jiffe20: That often helps a battery to recycle and hold a charge better. [04:11] Oh, yes, lsattr should give more info. [04:11] lsattr -what tho... [04:11] ross`: tell us the output first [04:11] can anyone here recommend me any possible music transcription/composition program(s) for Ubuntu?

But I would like to map the rest of the keys [04:17] jrib, nvm i solved [04:17] Because you asked about merchandice to buy to support linux.

[04:19] i love donateing [04:19] _anu: That command will clear out the archived packages it downloaded and installed from, which are not currently needed [04:19] who hosts this chatroom?

[04:20] MethinX: Look at the forums, help out there, that is the philosophy of Ubuntu, you could also buy a cup or buy a local LoCo team breakfast...or something nice,,,adopt a kitty kat [04:20] <_anu> genii : yes . your idea is just as mine :) [04:21] smash, no [04:21] smash: no it isnt, oo 3.0 will be included in the next release [04:21] Jack, are you transferring files over the LAN? (Not from the internet)? [04:21] are terminal applications safer and more secure to use then GUI Applications? [04:21] Fishscene: no, internet at the moment but it'll do it for lan too. It's not ISP throttling if that's what you're getting at. [04:22] MethinX: https://shop.canonical.com/ for Ubuntu products and http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/donate.html for Mozilla also Apache: http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html These are all worthy linux causes :) [04:22] jack, I was.

Only thing I can think of is a script gone awry. [04:23] thanks!!!! [04:23] But I'm not a pro. [04:23] ValentineX: Have you tried an FTP client rather than browser? [04:24] Fishscene: this is since ubuntu 7 with me :'( with every browser [04:24] https://shop.canonical.com/any good ftp clients? [04:24] ignore website [04:24] vigo: no, even i am face the problem while uploading large images etc [04:25] ValentineX, If you don't mind my asking, which website? [04:26] Fishscene: for example mediafire.com [04:26] does anyone have any idea why the compiz 3D cube would suddenly become very slow and buggy? (all I did was reboot - no installation of new programs / updates etc.) [04:27] Is there any 3d intensive program running? Or what about and gdesklets? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [04:29] ValentineX, I'm not sure why it's freezing up. Someone else might have a better idea.. [04:29] What is freezing up? [04:30] ValentineX: forums say Filezilla or gFTP,,http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1044769&highlight=ftp+program [04:30] Everytime ValentineX uploads to a website like mediafire, the browser freezes up completely until the upload completes.

[04:35] w33d5 yea i tried sudo and then also logging into root with sudo su [04:35] w33d5: i was using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [04:37] hossam is there anything on the drive?

I do cd /A Perfect Circle and it says bash: cd: A: No such file or directory [04:38] is it possible that a single cd image (.dmg or .img) has multiple filesystems written on it, one for each OS it is intended for? [04:38] and if so, is it possible to mount one vs. the others [04:38] MethinX: hit tab on the letter just before the space [04:38] hossam do you have another drive? [04:38] plugged in? [04:38] MethinX: you can also backquote it - '\' before the space [04:39] MethinX: Alternately use something like: cd A?Perfect?Circle [04:39] thanks [04:40] w33d5: yes an additional 150gb drive with a vista installation on it, mounts just fine NTFS [04:40] Geez, broken connection there lu6cifer [04:40] got a quick question, im changing up my nfs shares, and for some reason, heh i ran into a problem, i had 2 seperate shares, on 2 different hard drives, i moved their mount points from their respective /media/700gig and /media/1.5tb to /media/shares, when i mount the shared dir on a remote laptop i can see the 700gig and 1.5tb file folders, but no files show up under that. any got any ideas? [04:40] or a lamer [04:41] hossam sorry bro i just dont know [04:41] w33d5: no worries, thanks [04:42] <_anu> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0225' near line 1: newline in field name `#padding' , !!!!still that !!!! [04:44] When I change the volume from the pannel above my keyboard on my laptop, a little picture pops up showing the change in volume, but the systems actual volume doesn't change. Anyone know whats causing this and/or how to fix this? [04:44] _anu: Had you interrupted an update process with ctrl-c or so at some point? [04:45] <_anu> genii , the space is up , so it automatically interupted [04:45] hi all. i have just installed ubuntu without a swap partition. what do i need to do to setup a swap partition so i can suspend and hibernate [04:45] <_anu> crying [04:45] gorlak: check /etc/mtab to see if the drives have been mounted correctly. [04:45] k, checking [04:46] on the server or computer trying to mount the nfs? [04:46] hi all === Mood_ is now known as Mood [04:46] I hardcoded my DNS servers into resolv.conf, and then saved it, but it doesn't seem to be taking effect [04:46] hola [04:46] any idea why that would be happening? [04:47] brunner-> are you using dhcp? [04:47] _anu: You may have to resize the partition to add more space (if possibly more room on the drive) or add another hd and splice it into the filesystem [04:47] n8tuser: no. if I were using dhcp, I'm not sure why I would need resolv.conf [04:47] in any case, there's no dhcp [04:47] <_anu> genii : errrrr how do to that ? [04:47] I can ping my DNS servers [04:47] brunner-> just because you are using static does not diminished the usage of resolv.conf [04:48] is there a mp3 only player for the terminal that is not mplayer? [04:48] hi all. i have just installed ubuntu without a swap partition. what do i need to do to setup a swap partition so i can suspend and hibernate [04:48] I just can't get my computer to use them [04:48] or a music only player for terminal? [04:48] _anu: Resize the partition, or mount another hd into the filesystem? [04:48] <_anu> genii : or i just don't resize it ? [04:48] n8tuser: okay. there's no DHCP server on this network. [04:49] n8tuser: any idea why resolv.conf doesn't seem to be taking effect? [04:49] <_anu> genii : i just errorly install eclipse [04:49] brunner -> when you say doesnt take effect, does not stores the entries you made after you reboot? [04:50] n8tuser: I haven't rebooted. [04:50] Nostahl, read the mkswap manpage [04:50] brunner -> what does your /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like? [04:51] is there a mp3 only player for the terminal that is not mplayer? [04:51] brunner - how about in hosts? That would be where I'd put mine... [04:51] did someone say something to me? I saw have blue! [04:51] brunner -> specifically the line entry for hosts: [04:51] _anu: If you can't resize the partition (eg: if thats all the space there is on the hd that is available to use) then add a second hd. Then you can copy over everything in a problemmatic directory on the full drive to it, then mount it under that same directory [04:51] n8tuser: never mind, sorry. I was using improper syntax. [04:52] brunner -> no sweat.. [04:52] <_anu> genii : that's very kind of you . but i don't have space now . crying [04:52] and n8tuser... if you ever recommend rebooting again I will hit you over the head w a MSWindows CD...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:53] mindrape -> no no, that was not the suggestion, it was more of a question, when he said it doesnt retain it.. retain after? [04:53] ;) [04:53] Iok [04:54] _anu: The other immediate tactic would be to install instead xubuntu on the drive. But this again is a fairly large operation. [04:54] <_anu> genii : .... ....

[04:55] if i make a change to the iptables do i have to restart networking? [04:55] mindrape? [04:56] _anu: It would have been prudent in the beginning for you to ask how much room was required for an average install. So I have not much sympathy if you refuse every option presented as a solution [04:56] pascualcm: hold... lemme search for the pkg that provides libSDL [04:56] thanks [04:56] oh by the way im running linux server not desktop ;) [04:56] dope nope no need to restart networking [04:56] i have an ambient light sensor problem that's got me stumped - can anyone help out? [04:57] n8tuser: well i'm having opening my mysql port again. when i do a port scan it says "filtered" for that port [04:57] <_anu> genii : i thought apt-get would check that [04:57] dope immediate effect, therefore create a cron to wipe it out in case you are locked if this was a remote host you are trying to configure [04:57] pascualcm: try sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-all libsdl1.2debian-alsa [04:57] ok ill try it brb Thanks! [04:57] How do I open a port? [04:57] pascualcm: if that doesnt work then sudo dpkg -l libsdl* and you may need more of those... [04:58] 8.10 [04:58] n8tuser: so what does filtered mean? [04:58] Photoguy: google iptables [04:58] !iptables [04:58] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [04:58] dope dont know how you've created your rules, maybe it was not in the correct order [04:58] can anyone tell me how to play video on terminal [04:58] Photoguy -> open a port? are you planning to do anything on that port? [04:58] dope - it likely means its only listening on the localhost interface... [04:58] helo all is there a program or something i can download to test to see if ubuntu live cd will work befor hand on my pc to see if my pc is compatable with the live cd === PhilTar-Away is now known as PhilTar [04:58] Yes, running a small server. [04:59] alright... now that I have an internet connection again... [04:59] I upgraded to 8.10 today, and my wifi stopped working [04:59] mindrape: how would i get mysql to listen to more than localhost? [04:59] the network manager icon is gone from my system tray [04:59] edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf [04:59] and set the bind address to an actual IP. [04:59] brunner -> thats almost a common complaint, sound, wireless, or X not functioning after upgrading.. lol [04:59] and I'm sure it would be possible to get it going using wpa_supplicant from the command line, but I haven't been able to get it working [05:00] n8tuser: I'm sure it is, but it shouldn't be the case that upgrading kills the wireless [05:00] brunner - ALT F2 gksudo nm-applet [05:00] n8tuser Yes, running a small server.

If you choose any of them, I'll assist. Someone else may suggest an alternative which I have not thought of yet. But the fact is if hd is out of space there is not much to be done other than make more space in some way, or else install a less resource hungry version. [05:01] mindrape, gksudo isn't right for nm-applet, it should run as yourself (brunner) [05:01] mindrape: where have you been all day? [05:01] brunner: See bugzilla 272185 [05:01] Photoguy -> okay, so go ahead and create the iptable rules to open it, assuming your default is DROP [05:01] lol [05:01] ok [05:01] brunner - wpa_supplicant in Intrepid is very - very broken [05:01] mindrape: thank you [05:01] sorry [05:01] brunner - working... ;) [05:01] Cpudan80: well that would explain why it didn't work for me [05:01] brunner: Search "Cpudan80" in bugzilla 272185 [05:01] Fix is quick - albeit not simple [05:01] can anyone tell me how to play video on terminal [05:01] don't mess it up [05:02] !mplayer | saurabh [05:02] saurabh: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [05:02] Cpudan80: uhm, by clicking "upgrade"? [05:02] is there a mp3 only player for the terminal that is not mplayer? [05:02] mpg123 [05:02] brunner -> could the upgrade included the new fangled driver for your wireless? [05:02] brunner: You see my post in there? [05:02] MethinX - that was for you btw (mpg123) [05:02] mindrape: so why do you suppose it works this way but not by default [05:02] brunner: oh it's not keyed by username the bugzilla [05:02] thank you mindrape [05:03] n8tuser: I doubt it, since nm-manager seems to work fine without any other changes [05:03] brunner: Fix: Bracey [05:03] dammit [05:03] brunner - your session got jacked during the upgrade apparently... System -> Preferences -> Sessions... add it as a startup item [05:03] brunner: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/272185/comments/174 [05:03] <_anu> genii : help me !!!! [05:03] but Im looking for one that does not play movie files also only mp3s and other audio formats [05:03] Cpudan80: it's a non-issue for me now that nm-manager works, but thanks [05:03] <_anu> genii : please [05:03] oh === cag is now known as cag_ === cag_ is now known as cag [05:03] I thought wpa_supplicant was broken for you [05:04] <_anu> genii : i seldom say that word [05:04] mindrape: hmm.. it's already in there [05:04] woot just setup a ultra II sdhc card as swap for my eee pc heh [05:04] nm-applet --sm-disable [05:04] hi all. i am using a USB headset, in preferences>sounds i can hear through the USB OSS headset fine, as well as rhythmbox but firefox (youtube etc.) i get nothing, any ideas? [05:04] mpg123 [05:04] _anu: I am trying. But you make it somewhat difficult. You reject the idea of adding another hard drive or resizing the full partition as a big undertaking, etc. If you decide on a course of action I will try to assist. [05:05] with mpg123 can you play folders? or do you have to set up playlists? [05:05] MethinX - man mpg123 [05:06] k [05:06] mindrape: thank you so much! [05:06] np brunner [05:06] mindrape: I'm still curious as to why it's in my session but didn't start, though [05:06] but who cares as long as it works, I guess [05:06] brunner - I dunno... maybe a bug of sorts? Personally I hate nm-applet and do it all from the command line interface using iwconfig [05:06] _anu: The main problem is: Lets say we somehow manage to make enough room somehow to complete the install or so. It will not help much later because you will just run out of space again very soon after anyhow, without somehow adding more physical space. [05:06] how do i open a .so file? [05:07] I need a command line music player with features to play all files from a directory, manage a playlist, etc. possibly based on (n)curses. Does anyone know of one? [05:07] mindrape: can you use WPA without wpa_supplicant? [05:07] Vincent28: thats a shared object... it wont be human readable. [05:07] does anyone here use LXDE? [05:07] Vincent28: you can cat whatever.so or nano whatever.so [05:07] rebel_cli: Look into mpd (with ncmpc) [05:07] Flannel: ty [05:08] brunner - not sure... I just use WEP w MAC address filtering and dont broadcast my SSID 'cause my Wii has issues w WPA... [05:08] mindrape: I see [05:08] mindrape: it does? [05:08] Mine works fine [05:08] I use WPA2 [05:08] Cpudan80: yeah... dunno what the deal is. [05:08] mindrape: I used to do that when I ran debian [05:08] Also, my old laptop had issues w WPA (I think it was the crappy dlink card I had) [05:09] yeah [05:09] alright, brb if my wifi works now [05:09] my new one works fine w it (tried it at my parental units) [05:09] =] [05:09] TI acx111 chip does not support wpa for me :( === cag is now known as dtw7960 [05:10] i can't find virtualbox ose modules [05:10] <_4ypz> can you use compiz in vmware workstation? [05:10] yay! [05:10] no wires! [05:10] anyone able to assist? [05:10] <_anu> genii : let me check how much space do i have now [05:11] which is much more convenient in bed [05:11] <_4ypz> cause thats about the only good thing about ubuntu === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx [05:11] <_anu> genii: which command ? [05:11] mindrape: thanks again [05:11] _anu: df -h [05:11] np [05:11] <_Vi_> _4ypz: with Workstation i beleive so, workstation is supposed to support 3D stuff [05:12] _anu: If result is more than 2 lines or so, please use pastebin and do not copy the results to the channel here [05:12] <_anu> genii :/dev/sda1 3.8G 3.1G 508M 87% / [05:12] <_4ypz> _Vi_ I have workstation do yhou have this working/ [05:12] <_Vi_> nope [05:12] where do I find all my connection info? like IP and stuff? [05:12] <_Vi_> i don thave workstation [05:12] Photoguy: ifconfig [05:12] <_anu> genii : i think 508M is much space [05:12] _anu: 500-odd Mb should be more than enough room to install most packages. I doubt your issue is related to lack of space [05:12] Photoguy: nm-tool from a commandline is also kinda helpful. [05:13] Yeah, I like GUI :P [05:13] !info eclipse [05:13] then nm-applet [05:13] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB [05:13] Hm. Must be a metapackage [05:13] Photoguy: if its wireless then sudo iwconfig also has some spicy tidbits for ya. [05:13] mindrape: any idea on this USB firefox issue? [05:14] Hutch - USB firefox issue? Explain. [05:14] mindrape thanks, just needed a bit of info. [05:14] <_anu> genii : what is a meta package ? [05:14] mindrape: i am using a USB headset, in preferences>sounds i can hear through the USB OSS headset fine, as well as rhythmbox but firefox (youtube etc.) i get nothing, any ideas? [05:15] Anyone here happen to run on Maxtor DiamondMax 250GBs model number 6Y250L0? [05:15] I have 2 of them and 8.10 installation won't recognize either. [05:15] uhg, now my gui cron editor, "Scheduled Tasks" is missing from the menu [05:15] _anu: A package which actually just consists of other packages to install. So the size of it looks small but the other stuff it pulls in is larger [05:15] Hmm, I allowed a port via firestarter, but the server still says the port is blocked. [05:16] mindrape: any idea what package Scheduled Tasks is from? [05:16] Hutch - lemme google a bit... haven't heard of something like that happening because it should use the default sound device as defined by the system. [05:16] mindrape: i think its specifically flash plugin as opposed to firefox itself. [05:17] _anu: Please use pastebin to show complete result of command: df -h [05:17] <_anu> genii : so i am on a crash of the boat ?

[05:21] I have cairo-dock installed how do I toss the old task bar? [05:21] mindrape, this channel don't help me :( [05:21] Nobody can help me just because the port I want to open is 666? [05:21] zupb - if there are updates for ANY packages you have installed then you can get them with sudo apt-get update sudo-apt-get upgrade [05:21] <_anu> genii : http://paste.ubuntu.com/108126/ [05:21] _anu: Reading [05:22] zupb - I dont use ICQ so I'm not aware of any patches based on the ICQ protocol update of yesterday that you speak of. [05:22] <_anu> genii : thanks ^^ [05:22] _anu: What is on the sda5 partition? [05:23] Photoguy: you wanna let satan in?

[05:23] _anu: Nevermind, tired and mis-read [05:23] mindrape: how do i uninstall all those? [05:23] <_anu> genii : oh i see [05:23] _anu: Does: mount show that a swap partition is being used? [05:24] Hutch - sudo apt-get remove whatever [05:24] <_anu> genii : how to do that ? [05:24] Photoguy - sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 666 -j ACCEPT [05:24] <_anu> genii : mount /sda5 ? [05:24] how can i copy files and directories from my linux partition to a fat32 partition without encountering errors related to invalid characters in the names (i.e. ? : ) [05:25] _anu: No. 1 minute [05:25] <_anu> genii : i will wait thank you [05:25] hossam - there are probably shell scripts you can download that will resolve those issues for you... if you'd like I can google one up for you. [05:26] mindrape, that still doesn't allow it. [05:26] For some odd reason [05:26] _anu: Does command: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap give a line, or just return to command prompt? [05:26] Photoguy - are you behind a router or other network device like an IDS or hardware firewall? [05:26] mindrape that would be excellent, i am trying ot copy over 200 gigabytes of files using cp, but every now and then i get errors when the files or directories contain invalid characters that are not fat32 comliant [05:26] <_anu> genii : let me try it [05:26] No, firewal.

[05:27] _anu: That is fine, what matters is swap is being used. [05:27] <_anu> genii : oh ? why ? [05:28] hossam - found the answer.... [05:28] hey im trying to run live cd on a dual core AMD but after the ubuntu load bar comes on, it just seems to hang at a black screen whith a white blinking cursor at the top left [05:28] <_anu> genii : why does it matter ? [05:28] _anu: Swap is important because when system runs out of actual memory it uses the swap as sort of temporary extra memory. But this is likely not directly related to your issue. [05:29] Is there any other choices beside using Pidgin(MSN Messenger) [05:29] <_anu> genii : do you want me to remove it to set out more space ? [05:29] is there any other partition tool besides sucky gparted? [05:30] _anu: All your results so far do not indicate that a lack of space or memory is likely to blame. Also, no, do not remove your swap partition. [05:30] an admin around? i need help with skii in #jubuntu [05:30] if you have 4gb of ram i don't believe what you need swap [05:30] kubuntu* [05:30] what is jubuntu [05:30] ari_stress: see my correction? [05:30] <_anu> genii : really ? how can i give that partition more space [05:30] <_anu> ? [05:30] Adrian2MiL8: Possibly not for casual users [05:31] who would use kubuntu? lol, kde sucks, try xubuntu instead, even fluxbuntu is better [05:31] <_anu> genii : how do you know that ? it's funny ? [05:31] garity: oh, plz! gparted works well! if you want something else, though, there's Qtparted, or some commandline tools like parted or fdisk. [05:31] garity, its about someone in the channel [05:31] <_anu> genii : i can't find that related [05:31] does anyone know why its doing that? [05:31] <_anu> genii : i'm so stupid [05:31] am i using the wrong version of ubuntu? [05:31] _anu: You keep asking questions which are time consuming to answer and are sidetracking me from getting to what the actual problem is and how to go about resolving it [05:32] do i NEED the 64 bit version? [05:32] _anu: How did you deduce that lack of hard drive space was causing your apt-get install problem? [05:32] <_anu> genii : i am sorry . if i can voice you is better [05:33] if you have a 64 bit processor you should [05:33] glick: you probably don't *need* 64-bit, but if you're hardware supports it, it wouldn't hurt; well, you won't have access to as much software, as x86 has been around longer, but I've been using 64-bit Hardy since last May. [05:33] <_anu> genii : are you still there ?

[05:36] if i remember correctly.. in excel i just had to go to tools->data analysis and then select the two columns [05:36] anyone know why my live cd doesnt seem to load to the desktop? [05:36] Is there any other choices beside using Pidgin(MSN Messenger) [05:36] <_4ypz> YOSPOS BITCH [05:36] <_anu> genii : that means space unavailable ? oh i see [05:36] it hangs at a black screen after showing the ubuntu load bar [05:36] glick: have you checked the .iso against the md5? [05:37] no Fevrin the iso is on a win machine i dont know how to check [05:37] how anyone here can know what happens on your computer without see it [05:37] _anu: No. As far as I know it does NOT mean lack of space. It means some malformed file int he updates directory [05:37] glick: hold on.

[05:56] try to connect you sata burner in other different sat motherboard connector and try again [05:56] Vincent281: yep, 64-bit hardy [05:56] joeyjones: just get 8.10 32 [05:56] genii: it'll be mainly for coding/etc, not that much encoding anymore. [05:56] you'll love it [05:56] Fervin : what are the virtualization settings i should have? [05:56] Adrian2MiL8: the BIOS see it but it's not in fstab [05:57] Mteck: you there?

[05:57] Fervin: ok [05:57] Mteck are you looking for linux specifically? [05:57] did you just buy an mp3 player? [05:57] _anu: This seems to be a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451 [05:57] linux_guy: anything [05:57] linux_guy: when did I say a player?

[05:58] linux_guy: I need something to go thorugh and verify my ID3 tags anbd update errors [05:58] yes it's possible , but i have a similar problem with 2 sata hardisks , the system only see one [05:58] mteck, I just got done with my mp3 library because I BOUGHT a new ipod [05:58] just curious === sleepy_cat is now known as c_webkit [05:58] Adrian2MiL8: hmm I only have one and it's a burner [05:58] Fervin: winload.exe [05:58] if you have 4 sata connector use 1 and 4 not 1and 2 [05:59] Adrian2MiL8: it's new just put it in [05:59] Adrian2MiL8: got it on 1 [05:59] guys, anybody who knows where ubuntu mount a drive from a windows server 2003 using samba? [05:59] <_anu> genii : what should i do [05:59] , not sata hardisk ?? [05:59] tag & rename is good. You could use mediamonkey also, I don't prefer it for ipod, but everything else is ok [05:59] Vincent281: is that before you get any of the windows installer windows? [05:59] My name is mike and I was born in 1980. Oh, that's right, every boy born in 80 was named Mike.

[06:00] I love ubuntu! [06:00] _anu: There currently seems to be no solution offered for it on the bug page. One fellow said removing package cupsys was the fix for him. [06:00] Vincent281: it looks like I actually have it set for Windows XP, but both Ubuntu and Windows 7 seem to work with that.... [06:00] ok === izibi_ is now known as izibi [06:01] mteck: the difference is tag & rename changes the actual ID3 tag at the FILE properties level, and I BELIEVE... mediamonkey just updates the id3 information in the MM library [06:01] hmmm...try to change the options in yours bios for the sata to ide compatible mode , maybe this help [06:01] http://www.earncashfromgoogle.com Gotta run Enjoy [06:01] Fervin : im trying that [06:01] Can someone help me decypher this?: [06:01] 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) [06:01] Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH [06:01] Kernel modules: snd-intel8x0 [06:01] RegressLess: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:02] Vincent281: it can save you typing and spelling errors if you start typing "fev" and then tab ;p [06:02] _anu: Yes, still here. But not for too much longer. Perhaps 10-15 minutes [06:03] Fevrin: it was tab i forgot what it was lol [06:03] Vincent281: it shouldn't matter whether you use a disc or .iso [06:03] <_anu> genii : sudo dpkg -r cupsys ---> dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove cupsys which isn't installed. [06:03] Adrian2Mil8: You have a complicated name, but thanks! Am I wrong or does this say the driver is not a Realtek driver. I know the AC'97 is right, but it doesn't say Realtek [06:03] _anu: OK [06:03] Fevrin, [06:03] hey it works [06:04] fev + tab [06:04] <_anu> genii : ^^ is that ? [06:04] linux_guy: yep; you learn new tricks every day :) [06:04] Example: Fevrin, what's up [06:04] _anu: I am contemplating the issue. 1 minute please :) [06:04] Fevrin: imgettings statsu code 0xc000035a [06:04] ;p [06:04] Fevrin, I'll be a pro like you one day [06:04] i'm not sure , but i think what it's a nvidia sound codec [06:04] DO new drives show up in fstab after boot? [06:04] linxeh: pro? pyeah! [06:05] <_anu> genii : i really don't know what it would be without you ^^ [06:05] Vincent281: have you checked your disc or errors against the official sha1 checksum? [06:05] Vincent281: *for* errors [06:05] <_Vi_> Tab also works in the terminal :) (really handy for sudo apt-get install (confusing app name goes here)) [06:05] "Game Time Costs Less at Walmart" commercial hahaha [06:05] Fevrin: i don't think so how do i check sha1? [06:05] _anu: To try: sudo dpkg -r smb-db (this was the package it originally was stalling on) [06:05] I'm having trouble mounting a Windows network drive to my file system, I think I could do it easily enough, but I just don't get how I'm supposed to address the computer/drive itself, to do the job...could someone explain how to do this? [06:06] mostly soundcards are AC97 compatible , look at nvidia website for the info of you southbridge [06:06] Vincent281: you're using Ubuntu right now, correct? [06:06] <_anu> genii : let me try [06:06] Fevrin: yeah 64bit 8.10 [06:06] Vincent281: do you have the original windows 7 .iso? [06:06] Fevrin: yeah public beta [06:07] <_anu> genii : it throws same message as cupsys [06:07] _anu: OK. 1 minute [06:07] Vincent281: have you experience in the terminal? [06:07] Fevrin: i think the vbox is default under 32bit or something its saying taht the software is not compatible [06:07] Fevrin: somewhat not with the cmds XD [06:07] Fevrin, did you know the fn key + down arrow dims my laptop screen? [06:07] Hello WayneHuangs [06:08] <_anu> genii : you are an angel ^^ [06:08] linux_guy: which fn key? [06:08] how can i find out whats the VGA driver version [06:08] the Fn key [06:08] Fevrin, only pros know that [06:08] linux_guy: you mean the one that changes the F mode or something? [06:08] Fevrin, its a special key for laptops [06:08] Adrian2MiL8: I have sound but no mic so I was going to install the Realtek driver, but I need help with the instructions. What do I do with this?: Installation: execute ./install The files are in a .tar.bz2 archive thingy (boy, I love sounding cool) [06:09] anyone used voice control? [06:09] where is jack sparrow? [06:09] and oCean? [06:09] hi there... openoffice base doesnt allow to shift rows up or down in a table...how can i do that... is there a better ms-access alternative for linux available ? [06:09] Fevrin, The Fn key activates the numpad and various other keys on a laptop since they have a condensed keyboard. [06:09] are you sure what the realtek driver are the appropiate for you ?? [06:09] <_anu> genii : i am sorry for making you thinking so hard [06:09] <_anu> genii : ^^ [06:09] Fevrin, steelflint is some kind of pro [06:09] linux_guy: if you have compiz installed, if you hold down Alt and scroll down with the mouse's scroll wheel, watch what happens ;p [06:10] ok so im at the ubuntu screen where it asks me to choose what i want to do, boot withot changing my computer, installing ubuntu, or checking cd for defects [06:10] ok hang on [06:10] linux_guy, No, I just own a laptop. lol [06:10] how to i boot live cd so that i can see the boot messages [06:10] Fevrin, I have to disable it because of video complications =( [06:10] Adrian2MiL8: Realtek AC97 is the driver my soundcard came with [06:10] linux_guy: awww! [06:10] forget that driver [06:11] linux_guy: it's just a visual effect...the window would incrementally fade. [06:11] Fevrin, Yeah, I found that a couple days after installing Ubuntu, pretty neat. [06:11] Adrian2MiL8: I just know my people need to hear my voice :D [06:11] <_anu> genii : are you there ? [06:11] _anu: No apologies needed. Your problem is difficult, as even the bug report shows, since there is currently no solution offered there. [06:11] i have a 64 bit amd cpu and ubuntu-studio-intrepid is giving me an error that ai do not have a 64 bit cpu , it is stoppping the install saying a need a 32bit kernel , any ideas ? [06:11] _anu: Yes. I will let you know if I leave [06:11] Adrian2MiL8: I don't really have people [06:11] <_anu> genii : errr [06:11] I am someone's people [06:11] <_anu> genii : i am grateful even if the problem remains [06:12] ok , and what it's you problem ?? what you can't make now ?? install these other driver s?? [06:12] Fevrin, I have a touchpad, maybe thats it [06:12] i have no fade [06:12] * linux_guy is hungry [06:12] anyone used voice control? [06:12] maybe you have only the mic disable on the alsa mixer [06:13] you check this ?? [06:13] _anu: I am suspecting this: An update was happening and was interrupted. Some files got corrupted. Did you halt somehow an update, or did the machine restart unexpectedly, etc? [06:13] linux_guy: awww...well, it's not much that you're missing. [06:13] linux_guy, Does your touchpad have a scroll line on the right edge of it, you could test that, on mine, if I slide my finger down the right edge of the touchpad it scrolls. [06:13] _anu: (just before this all began) [06:13] voice control for what [06:13] oh yeah steel hang on [06:13] Adrian2MiL8: That last message was cryptic. I need to be able to use my mic. I just saw you're next message; how do I find out if you're right? Thanks! [06:13] gnome on ubuntu 8.1 [06:13] Steelflint, do i need to click on the foreground window? [06:14] linux_guy, I don't know, sorry, I use a USB mouse with my laptop 99% of the time. :) === Guest33765 is now known as Gtweak674 [06:14] <_anu> genii : yes the machine restarted [06:14] Steelflint, sorry, it wont work for me [06:14] <_anu> genii : i remember that [06:14] anyone? [06:14] the little icon with the speaker on the taskbar , clik and open the mixer control [06:14] linux_guy:Gnome/ubuntu8.10 [06:14] linux_guy, Probably needs an actual scroll wheel then. [06:14] how to find the VGA driver version [06:15] how to i boot ubuntu without the slpash screen so i can see whats going on [06:15] now go edit > preferences [06:15] Adrian2MiL8: omg *blushing* [06:15] on that note, does anyone know a way around the compiz / video complications? [06:15] look if the mic is checked [06:15] <_anu> genii : then what can i do ? [06:15] when compiz effects are enabled, video is shaky [06:15] is it just a bug? [06:16] i dunno.. it';s annoying though always having to turn off the effects to watch video [06:16] glick, don't do it enough to recite the interactive grub method, but iirc press e at the grub menu, remove quiet splash from the kernel line, then b to boot. You can edit the menu.lst to make it permanent [06:16] if i install Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit version from the cd directly it gets intalled [06:16] linux_guy, it may be, I haven't encountered that myself, my desktop is nVidia, and my laptop is ATI, both have been pretty much plug&play. [06:16] are you inside the gnome desktop into ubuntu ?? [06:16] but after restart it does not show any desktop [06:16] kinda hangs [06:16] <_Vi_> glick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542082 [06:16] <_Vi_> for removing splash screen ^^^^^^^^ [06:17] i checked the cd for problems [06:17] _anu: OK, so we are maybe understanding the cause a bit. Try: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/* && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* then to try again: sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:17] sometimes all it needs is a good punching! [06:17] but it had 0 errors [06:17] there any notify for gmail ?? i mean new 1 please [06:17] c_webkit, what video card do you have? [06:17] I noticed that mkfs.ext4 is installed on my system. Is ubuntu's 2.6.27-9 kernel able to create/read/write ext4? === kevipapo1 is now known as kevipapo [06:18] <_anu> genii : wait for me [06:18] Adrian2MiL8: Ah, yes. I see the following that refer to the mic: Microphone Capture, Mic Boost (+20dB), and Mic Front Input. Only the last it checked. I would guess that I would like all three, right? [06:18] anyone use any cool programs lately? [06:18] <_anu> ^^ [06:18] nickrud: no idea.. havnt put additional video card just the one embedded in my motherboard its a x86 board [06:18] Gtweak674, Last time I hit a computer it cost me over $100 to fix, so I don't use that form of "fixing" on complicated equipment anymore. heh [06:18] hehe but it is satisfying [06:19] ok i get squashfs errors [06:19] Gtweak674, Clean unnecessary files to free disk space and maintain privacy [06:19] hello all, i need help installing drivers on my ubuntu copy. im having errors downloading them, for whenever i try to activate one, a window pops up for a split second saying "downloading and installing drivers" and then closes [06:19] c_webkit, that's the most common error, not getting the right video driver. What's on the motherboard? [06:19] Gtweak674, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bleachbit-cleans-unnecessary-files-to-free-disk-space-and-maintain-privacy.html [06:19] unable to read page [06:19] <_anu> genii : "rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial': Is a directory" [06:19] its failing to read pages [06:19] Gtweak674, its called bleachbit [06:19] _anu: Thats fine [06:19] try , and plug you mic into the other connectors of you sound , sometimes alsa change the location of outputs and not are the same what windows [06:19] nickrud: The motherboard has the built in video card .. it can handle graphics [06:19] Adrian2MiL8: Oh snap! Found it. [06:19] i intalled using Wubi, if you're wondering [06:20] Adrian2MiL8: Mic working, thanks! [06:20] nickrud: no additional card installed or put in it [06:20] hi guys... anyone familiar with KVM? I created a VM with 128mb of ram and i cannot figure out how to increase the ram? [06:20] c_webkit, but which one? different drivers for different motherboard chips [06:20] good [06:20] <_anu> genii : sorry ^^ the mistake is the "rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial': Is a directory" [06:20] bleachbit? [06:20] c_webkit, when it boots, can you press clt-alt-f2 and see a text login screen? [06:20] apt-get? [06:20] does anyone here play assault cube? [06:20] Gtweak674, also check out SSHerminator. it like Splits the terminal window so its not so "busy" [06:20] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ssherminator-nice-split-screen-terminal-emulator-and-ssh-client.html [06:21] <_Vi_> !ask | glick (this seems kinda harsh, but it will help you.....) [06:21] glick (this seems kinda harsh, but it will help you.....): 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. :-) [06:21] nickrud: I have installed the drivers i just want to know which version is it cause yesterday i got a new on on the net so... [06:21] <_anu> genii : what to do ? i am a greenhand ^^ sorry [06:21] nickrud: u directing me to BIOS [06:21] Gtweak674, yes bleachbit and ssherminator [06:21] nickrud: what should i do in BIOS [06:21] it wont give me the version no [06:21] _anu: Yes, I saw. This is from the first command where we told it to remove all in /var/cache/apt/archives It removed all the files but was unable to remove the directory. This is fine and normal error and not to worry over. [06:21] everyone busy right now, i guess [06:21] the hell? i didnt ask to ask [06:21] c_webkit, no. nothing in bios. after you boot, and it seems to hang. Describe what happens, up to the time it hangs [06:21] <_Vi_> glick: meaning one line questions :) [06:22] _anu: So from here: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* then to try again: sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:22] i keep getting squashfs read errors when i try to boot the live cd [06:22] <_DEL> !ask [06:22] 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. :-) [06:22] c_webkit, different causes of boot errors at different points in the boot. I need to know more to help you [06:22] is that usualy a sign of a bad cd [06:22] kevipapo: reask your question please [06:22] glick, could be. Did you run the self test on the boot menu? [06:22] sure, im having issues installing the nvidia drivers [06:22] when i try to activate them, a download windows opens for a split second, then closes [06:22] <_anu> genii : i am trying to understand . wait a minute [06:23] nickrud when i do it goes to a black screen as well [06:23] ubuntu 8.10, nVidia 9800M GS [06:23] _anu: rm can remove files easily but not subdirectories, that is all [06:23] nickrud: Ok as far as Ubuntu installation is concerned [06:23] kevipapo: Are you trying to download and install the drivers manually? [06:23] What do you do when Ubuntu is taking over what used to be sleep in your life? [06:23] glick, most likely a bad burn then. did you run the md5sum on the downloaded iso? [06:23] nickrud: everything runs well [06:23] nickrud: it perfectly starts [06:23] <_anu> genii : OK OK sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* then to try again: sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:23] no, this is from the hardware manager application [06:24] i get the ubuntu loading screen [06:24] _anu: Yes [06:24] system, admininstration, hardware drivers [06:24] <_anu> genii: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/* --> rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*': No such file or directory [06:24] nickrud, no im on windows trying to find a good md5sum program [06:24] Question: Is there an easy way to set Ubuntu's default soundcard to a different card? When I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound I see a huge list of devices and i'm not sure which one is my onboard card [06:24] _anu: Ok, this again is not a concern. Proceed to last step [06:24] glick, google md5sum.exe . You can download and run that from a command prompt [06:25] nickrud: then after the loading screen goes.. i should get the desktop with the username and password.. tht screen does not come.. only blank with a pointer [06:25] kevipapo: is there drivers listed there? I have an 8800 and it shows me two options (one of which is recommended) [06:25] ie. my mouse cursor [06:25] <_anu> genii : really ? ok [06:25] * linux_guy yawns and goes to bed [06:25] c_webkit, ah, with a pointer. ok. That's the end of it? [06:25] yes [06:25] * linux_guy says gnight! [06:25] RegressLess, i think we see the same thing. One is 173, the other 177 (thats the recommended one [06:25] 'after tht nothing works so have to reboot [06:25] does the pointer move? [06:25] yes [06:25] i think [06:25] <_anu> genii : dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. [06:25] <_anu> Aborted [06:25] not sure [06:25] kevipapo: have you picked the recommended one? [06:26] _anu: OK, 1 minute again [06:26] kevipapo: 177 [06:26] c_webkit, I hope you have two machines, one for talking and one for troubleshooting :) [06:26] gnite [06:26] yes, i tried activating it, and thats when the prblem occurs, and the window for downloading it pops open for a split second and dissappears [06:26] <_anu> genii : OK ^^ thank you very much very [06:26] well.. i am not sure.. about the cursor.. but the blank screen is for sure.. [06:26] also, sory if i make typing mistakes, i recently bought this computer (two days ago) so im getting used to the keyboard [06:26] i think the cursor does not move [06:27] or the cursor does not come only [06:27] could be anything [06:27] I got now win98 winxp and installing Ubuntu scared if it does not work.. i would lose info in the booting cause Ubuntu becomes the MSR [06:27] kevipapo: no prob. Ok, if you select the 177, there a button at the bottom that says "This driver is activated and currently in use." is that gray or green? [06:28] c_webkit, from what you've said so far it could be anything for sure. I would suggest you start by running the disk check on the cd's boot menu. Make sure there wasn't some corruption somewhere [06:28] i did tht [06:28] i checked for errors [06:28] ok, good [06:28] any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:28] there are 0 errors [06:28] RegressLess, it is (unfortunately) grey, unactivated [06:28] cause earlier way earlier when i used a copy it had 1 error [06:28] so.. [06:28] kevipapo: what does the 173 show when you select it? Gray or green? [06:29] i downloaded again the desktop version and it has 0 error [06:29] s [06:29] i also tried running the demo version [06:29] tht also hanged [06:29] <_Vi_> holy enter key [06:29] c_webkit, yeah, I remember you saying that now. Again, I need to know what video chip is on the motherboard. Does the live cd boot to a desktop? [06:29] The first option which says.. :"try ubuntu without any changes to ur computer": [06:29] RegressLess, also grey and unactivated === Gtweak674 is now known as tweak674 [06:29] any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:29] any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:29] any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:29] Pipot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:30] yes i mean by installation [06:30] heh, if you're saying im not at stupid as i seem, thanks :) [06:30] after tht it blows up [06:30] c_webkit, does the cd boot to the demo desktop? [06:30] no [06:30] lol [06:31] it doesnt [06:31] I am booting ubuntu VM by tunnelling into my windows/cygwin SSH But the ubuntu stops at username & passwd. Anyway to pass by so that I can SSH into the ubuntu Vm [06:31] kevipapo: I'm only saying that I am a beginner as well and it worked fine for me so I don't have a clue. [06:31] c_webkit, ok. does xp boot to the desktop? === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [06:31] yes it does [06:31] ah, ok, ill look into it. it may have to do with the fact that i didnt install from a live cd, and rather used wubi [06:31] nickrud: can u explain me what do u mean by xp boot to desktop [06:31] kevipapo: You should have got an 8800 :P [06:31] anyone know how to undelete files [06:31] c_webkit, boot to xp, look in the device manager and find out what video chip your machine has. If you can do that, xp is booting to the desktop [06:32] kevipapo: possibly, I made a cd [06:32] FloodBot1, any body know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:32] heh, sorry, ive got an ASUS laptop [06:32] kevipapo: ah, EEE? [06:32] I have an IBM laptop with ATI graphics and a second monitor attached. What driver should I use to get Desktop Effects? [06:32] yeah, wubi makes a folder in windows, much like a linux partition [06:32] no, not EEE [06:32] ASUS G series :) [06:32] kevipapo: cool [06:32] this is the laptop after my old powerbook === TwoD_ is now known as TwoD [06:33] kevipapo, do you know how to install driver sound card FCA 202 Behringer Firewire on ubuntu [06:33] anr78: fglrx (for ATI) [06:33] yeah thts possible [06:33] i get the winxp desktop [06:33] Pipot, try going into syste > administration > hardware drivers [06:33] let me know what it says in there [06:33] IcemanV9: thanks [06:34] _anu: Does command: cat /var/lib/dpkg/status|grep Status|grep configure produce anything? Only yes or no, I do not need to see the results of the command if there are any [06:34] kevipapo, it's firewire, n' thats not detect [06:34] no, sorry, there might not be an official driver for linux, so you'll need to download an open source one [06:35] but im not sure how you'd go about that, so sorry [06:35] c_webkit, I'm not going to be looking at the screen for a while but will be around. Use my nick when you have the info [06:35] kevipapo: I may get a Eee; cheap, small (but not too small), and Linux. Sounds tempting. Also the multitouch is cool. [06:35] kevipapo, do you know how to ls firewire on terminal [06:35] <_anu> genii : let me try that command [06:36] RegressLess, they're very nice, my friend has one, they're cool and cute, but not the most productive things, all your choice though [06:36] I have conky runningand when I have an empty desktop it will stay visible on my desktop, however when I launch for example firefox and minimize it conky is dissapeared how to solve this? [06:36] Pipot, try running the "mount" command in terminal and tell me what comes up [06:36] <_anu> genii : that shows nothing [06:36] * IcemanV9 wonders when will dapper (desktop edition) ends this year? [06:36] kevipapo: By what do you mean "not the most productive"? [06:37] RegressLess: only 900MHz processor, small keyboard, small overall [06:37] not my type of thing, but its definitely cool and ultra-portable [06:37] kevipapo, /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [06:37] proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [06:37] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) [06:37] varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) [06:37] <_Vi_> Pipot: dont paste that mount command here, use http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:37] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [06:37] Pipot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I've seen and placed my hands on the keyboard--that part I'm cool with but it has to function at a decent speed. I don't need a 22" widescreen like some of these people. ;D [06:39] <_anu> genii : ^^ i don't know what to say , i just say thank you again [06:39] RegressLess: even with the 900mhz processor, the thing runs nicely. My friend's was running Windows 7 just fine with no other drivers [06:39] so it works, but its more for portable work [06:40] windows 7 sucks [06:40] hello [06:40] hi guys. need a bit of help. I'm sorta new to ubuntu and i've been reading endlessly with no results. [06:40] !ask [06:40] 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. :-) [06:40] trying to install java stuff, it says I need multiverse repos. added them, but now I get errors running apt-get update [06:40] W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-backports/multiverse/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] [06:40] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [06:40] Williamashworth, go ahead [06:40] why would you say that about windows 7? I mean, still beta, and yet almost completely functional [06:40] sorry :) [06:40] kevipapo: I have only had desktop computers. Frankly, I think it's funny how people get a "portable computer" that's as big as they are. The size, I think, is perfect. [06:41] william, no worries ;) [06:41] you're not connected to the internet, hence the 404 error [06:41] !edgy [06:41] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [06:41] oops. so i'm using the wrong repos list then [06:41] any ideas what I need for hardy? [06:41] williamashworth: edgy died in april last year [06:41] thor: compared to ubuntu 8.10 it is nothing... [06:41] <_anu> genii : thank you for so much patience ^^ [06:41] well, are you connected to a network? [06:41] !upgrade | williamashworth [06:41] williamashworth: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:42] the vps i have is a clean install of hardy as of tonight. [06:42] RegressLess: yes, the size is one of the best things about the eee [06:42] I do enjoy my Ubuntu partition, but both have their place on my computer [06:42] williamashworth: I'm in love with Intrepid [06:42] i am having issues finding the right repos list to put into my repo file [06:42] yup i agree intrepid is the only operating system [06:43] williamashworth: the upgrade guide will help yo get upgraded to hardy / intrepid === tj__ is now known as tj83 [06:43] maybe I'm not being clear. i just bought a VPS slice from www.slicehost.com [06:43] it has a new install of hardy right now [06:43] actionparsnip: have you used gnome-voice-control? [06:43] so no upgrading needed. [06:43] williamashworth: If you haven't seen, search keywords "eee" and "multitouch". 'Tis pretty cool also. [06:43] RegressLess, i dont use my laptop for portability, i use it for gaming [06:44] tweak674: no, i dont have a mic, plus i can type way fater than anything I can say [06:44] plus, my parents are separated, so its nice to have a way to bring a powerful computer back and forth [06:44] williamashworth: oops, wrong person [06:44] williamashworth: maybe the repo is down, if you web browse to the server does it come up [06:44] hello guys, i need some help after some days trying to install my webcam... when i do lsusb it shows it as a pixart webcam, (it is an omega).. i have ubuntu 8.10, also, tried modprobe gspca and it still doesnt recognize it [06:44] I have conky runningand when I have an empty desktop it will stay visible on my desktop, however when I launch for example firefox and minimize it conky is dissapeared how to solve this? [06:45] ah. eol date is june, 2009 for dapper ... got to set a date to update this box soon :-/ dapper runs flawless for me so long. [06:45] kevipapo: If you haven't seen, search keywords "eee" and "multitouch". 'Tis pretty cool also. I understand the gaming. I play a bit, but in my old age, it has been pushed to the side. lol, I'm 28 and ready for retirement. [06:45] _anu: My current thinking is we need to clear or remove the list of packages which are only partially installed/configured so that control of the dpkg can be regained. But how to approach this is too much for me right now. [06:46] kevipapo: Correction: If you haven't seen, search videos for keywords "eee" and "multitouch" on youtube [06:46] I'm tired [06:46] RegressLess: retirement? 28? please tell me you're joking there. yeah, im still in the teen years, with gaming on my mind a lot [06:47] gona get some sleep? [06:47] any linux gaming to be had? [06:47] _anu: Does: ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* show some list, or instead: ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*: No such file or directory [06:47] <_anu> genii : it seems reasonable though i don't know dpkg a bit [06:47] !games | tweak674 [06:47] tweak674: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [06:47] <_anu> genii : let me try again [06:47] ActionParsnip: do you have an idea why conky dissapears on me after launching an application? does it have something to do with the refresh rate of my desktop? [06:47] I need some kind soul to help me with a Multi Soundcard setup on 8.10. I have attempted to set the default sound card, I have attempted to change the settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound. I have also attempted to search google but most of the tutorials I find all apparently deal with older versions of Ubuntu with a different setup than mine and don't see, to apply to my setup [06:48] <_anu> genii : let me try ls [06:48] paul68: if you alt+tab is it in the list? [06:48] my wife hit a button when watching a movie in mplayer and now sound plays but the video is all white (cant see volume or anything else either), what could it be? same problem in vlc and totem movie player [06:48] _anu: I do not need the list results, only if there are files in there or not [06:48] c_webkit, you got it? [06:48] paul68: have you got it set to be in its own window? [06:48] <_anu> genii : let me paste it [06:49] hello guys, who could help me to install my webcam? im having a hard time doing it.. it is an omega, when doing lsusb it appears as a pixart webcam, installed gspca from repositories, did modprobe gspca, still not working [06:49] <_anu> genii : http://paste.ubuntu.com/108137/ [06:49] _anu: No need for paste. Just a list of files will appear, or not [06:49] kevipapo: Yes, my wife needs some cuddling. I'm kidding about retirement, but gaming has been put on the back burner. Enjoy your apathetic teen years while you can. Before too long, you may be forced to care about more things. [06:49] [06:49] kevipapo: have a good night, friend [06:49] RegressLess: ok, you too, we may meet again :) [06:49] Hi Folks [06:49] <_anu> genii : ???? what's the matter [06:50] !hi | vinay [06:50] vinay: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:50] I am a ubuntu linux newbie [06:50] ActionParsnip: yes it is set to be in his own window [06:50] !welcome | vinay [06:50] vinay: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [06:50] anyone used any cool programs lately? [06:50] Just installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a vmware virtual machine. [06:50] Nighty, night room! You're still my favorite bunch of geeks! I aspire to be as geeky as you!! I am not kidding. [06:51] hey how can i find out the md5sums on the ubuntu website [06:51] RegressLess, by the way: quit scaring the kids [06:51] hello .. i need some assistance installing my webcam [06:51] !cams | Enanito1 [06:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about cams [06:51] The installation went through fine. However, it did not ask me to enter password for root user. [06:51] _anu: I am tired and cranky :) Anyhow, try this: sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* /tmp then again the: sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:51] paul68: is it in the alt+tab list? [06:51] !cam | Enanito1 [06:51] glick, releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 or 8.10 , see the md5sums files there [06:51] Enanito1: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [06:51] !help [06:51] Enanitol: look up easycam, it worked great for me [06:51] So, I do not know what is the password for the root. Is there a default password for root [06:51] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:51] ActionParsnip: no it is not [06:51] nickrud: ya, my bad. I keep seeing you nick. Thanks for hanging out. [06:51] nickrud: [06:51] bye [06:52] RegressLess, see ya [06:52] tylor: installed easycam too.. but not working.. it freezes... [06:52] <_anu> genii : :) ok last try [06:52] vinay, use the password that you have set for your account [06:52] vinay: There is no default password for root no. It's locked. [06:52] nickrud: i didnt get the solution [06:52] y do i get a blank screen [06:52] !ask full disk encryption [06:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:52] vinay: Ubuntu uses sudo instead, your first user is a member of the admin group and has the ability to use sudo. [06:52] c_webkit, no idea of the chipset of your video? Not much I can do, without knowing that [06:52] ok [06:52] well anyone have a link for using the altervive install to set up full disk encryption? [06:52] the chipset is P4I45GV Rs5.0 [06:53] hmm, did you install video4linux, it might be installed by default [06:53] Arvind thanks for the reply. It did not prompt for entering password for root account during installation. [06:53] paul68: is it still running in ps -ef | grep conky ? [06:53] vinay, read what Flannel said... [06:53] !ecryptfs > zaapiel [06:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ecryptfs [06:53] * genii sips his coffee [06:53] <_anu> genii : go to sleep ^^ good night ^^ [06:53] hello how to get a sites that you can put there the website and site will search the dns? and administrative contact for free?

[06:53] <_anu> genii : it remains still but thank you for your work [06:54] yea it's installed by default [06:54] !encyptfs [06:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about encyptfs [06:54] Any idea why it did not prompt for password? [06:54] vince, if you ask whats the problem then someone may [06:54] !encryptfs [06:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryptfs [06:54] <_anu> dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. Aborted [06:54] <_anu> ºÇºÇ [06:54] <_DEL> can anyone give ma a refresher how to format a USB? i cant remember atm [06:54] ActionParsnip: yes it does [06:54] _anu: OK. Keep an eye on the bug report mentioned earlier. A solution may yet appear there [06:54] vinay: Again, Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, so it won't ask for a password for one. [06:54] ok, ill fix my problems later [06:54] im gonna get some shut eye [06:54] _DEL use gparted [06:54] Arvind_khadri: I did earlier, I did not wish to spam the trouble by posting the same thing over and over agian [06:54] i need help in order to setup my webcam :( [06:54] <_anu> genii : hope so [06:54] * kevipapo says good night [06:55] <_DEL> dont have it, i just need command line [06:55] <_DEL> im running bare basics [06:55] arvind_khadri : I have attempted to set the default sound card, I have attempted to change the settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound. I have also attempted to search google but most of the tutorials I find all apparently deal with older versions of Ubuntu with a different setup than mine and don't see, to apply to my setup [06:55] vince, oh ok, if no one replied maybe they dont know, try posting it again :) [06:55] Flannel, does it mean you never a root account ? Even for administrative related tasks ? [06:55] vinve which sound card? [06:55] c_webkit, that tells me all I need about the hardware, thanks. Looking for bug reports [06:55] does anybody use Promise SX 6000 raid controller? [06:55] vince which sound card? [06:55] vinay: Right. You use sudo instead. `sudo command` runs command as root. [06:56] ActionParsnip: even 4 times [06:56] Flannel, thanks! [06:56] I have one sound card working. If I run cat /proc/asound/modules it shows both but its using the wrong card as the default [06:56] basically i want the same setup alternative install guided encryption gives you but i want a smaller swap and serpant encryption [06:56] anyone have a link? [06:56] I have an onboard Intel Realteck card and an Add On Soundblaster Live! [06:56] paul68: try killing them off and starting it with alt+f2 or whatever you gnome guys use to launch apps [06:57] vince, so you want to use soundblaster? [06:57] The Intel card should be the primay, I use the soundblaster for my headset for things like skype and Vent however everything is defaulting to the soundblaster by default [06:57] hello, i am on an hp tx2500 and ive been following this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5469447#post5469447 im at the point where the stylus should work but is not calibrated. it says to post the output of a bunch of commands, so here they are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108138/ can anybody help me get my wacom stylus working (I've already looked at a lot of guides)? [06:57] ActionParsnip: dump question how do I kill them? [06:58] ah nevermind [06:58] figured it out [06:58] :D [06:58] paul68: killall conky [06:58] vince, oh ok... did you check the community documentation ? [06:58] arbinf_khadri : No the soundblaster is the secondary. Onboard Intel should be the primary [06:58] kevin__: have you enabled the wacom lines in xorg.conf? [06:58] ActionParsnip: done and started conky again [06:58] vince, oh ok... did you check the community documentation ? [06:59] vince, and ya which Ubuntu?? [06:59] arvind_khandri: I have searched. Mos things say to use the asoundconf-gtk to change the default sound card or to go to System -> Preferences -> Sound to manually set the device. I have done so and it still uses the soundblaster [06:59] Can anyone help me with my video card troubles? [06:59] Ubuntu 8.10 [06:59] paul68: ok, is there only one conky running? [06:59] General: ask the room, it will probably answer [07:00] ActionParsnip: Is that not what I am doing? [07:00] ActionParsnip: yes but still not visible in alt+tab [07:00] General: no, you asked a hugely broad question, be as specific as you can and ask the room [07:00] paul68: hmm strange [07:01] im on ubuntu 8.10. How can i change the gnome panel text color? [07:01] ActionParsnip: I second that do you need me to paste the script? [07:01] paul68: if you use a different ~/.conkyrc does it work ok [07:01] c_webkit, I'm finding all kinds of install reports with your motherboard ... nothing specific to yours yet I _think_ [07:01] ActionParsnip: still experimenting with these so I can't really confirm it [07:02] vince, even if you disable the one you dont want its being used?? [07:02] ActionParsnip: well, the guide doesnt have me do that, so no. [07:02] I haven't tried to disable the Soundblaster, I need both to stay active [07:02] ActionParsnip: i get file read errors when i try to 'cat /dev/ttyS0' and 'cat /dev/input/wacom' [07:02] evening [07:03] c_webkit, try booting linux; when it gets to the point where it seems to crash, press ctl-alt-f2, see if you can log in there. [07:03] vince, activate them when you need it [07:03] im on ubuntu 8.10. How can i change the gnome panel text color? [07:03] kevin__: you will need those sections so they work, have a look for xorg.conf wacom [07:03] i am having trouble setting a password for ubuntu's samba server [07:03] nickrud: ok i'll try in the evening [07:03] help please, my ubuntu box can't see my wifi box, but my ibook can? [07:03] what program do i use to set a password in samba? [07:03] incadudeF, I use emerald to style everything out [07:03] bluefox83: sudo smbpasswd [07:04] but can i load ubuntu on the extended partition [07:04] ActionParsnip, actually that didn't work :( [07:04] c_webkit, np. you can find me here too often :) If you can, have a machine you can talk on while you run the non-functioning one [07:04] arvind_khadri: But when I activate it won't it mess up the main imput? I need them to be distinct and separate. I want only what I specifically tell to use the sound blaster to use it. Everything else SHOULD default to the Intel Realtek Card. I can't just use one at a time otherise I might as well just be switching Jacks. [07:04] nah thts not possible.. [07:04] bluefox83: use the same pass as your login and you should be ok. I've noticed this is the case but i could be wrong [07:04] i have one m/c [07:04] :( [07:04] Room: I have recently reformatted a winXP laptop to run Intrepid, and am having minor Graphical glitches (for one example, when I open a new firefox window, I get a brief second of static within the window, before everything is fine) but now when I try installing programs with wine (Sims 2) my screen goes all sorts of wonky, and freezes. Talked to the guys over at #winehq, and they say it's a video card problem. Do I need a driver/deb p [07:04] ackage? what is going on? [07:04] i will talk to you via office [07:05] General: Disable your special effects and try again. Let us know if that is what is causing it. [07:05] ActionParsnip: those sections mean _nothing_ if the device is not outputting anything on the appropriate device, so i dont see the point. did i miss something? [07:05] General: have you installed video drivers? [07:05] General : What kind of video card do you have? [07:05] ActionParsnip, it's sudo smbpasswd username [07:05] how would I enable keyboard shortcuts in terminal for non root users http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/shortcuts.html [07:05] General, did you load ati/nvidia restricted? === TwoD is now known as TwoD_ [07:05] ActionParsnip, do i need to restart samba for it to take affect? [07:05] kevin__: as far as i recall, you need those sections for stylusses etc [07:06] bluefox83: can't hurt: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart === TwoD_ is now known as TwoD [07:06] vince, just activate/deactivate and check out... [07:06] ActionParsnip: i agree, but the devices/drivers have to work before xorg.conf comes into play. the drivers are not working. [07:07] kevin__: have you read through dmesg | less ?

[10:05] jigp: you don't do it *IN* it. [10:06] Well, not a crapload. [10:06] I removed the CFLAGS.

[10:13] i have vista and hardy on 1 disc, dual boot, vista has 90GB hardy 30GB, how can i take some space from vista and add it to hardy, without screwing anything? [10:14] zaapiel: just install your favourite file manager in flux and you got drag and drop [10:14] pier, first back up important data [10:14] pier: backup data then you can use gparted to resize [10:14] that still didnt work [10:14] do i need to reboot?

[10:15] its a 64 bit computer [10:15] but i installed the 32 bit os [10:15] is there a command or guide how to *completely* remove sendmail from ubuntu server? I used "apt-get remove" but there are still various traces of it all around my system.

Eeebuntu has all of those changes made by default. It works out of the box. [10:17] jigp, its virtualbox not vmware [10:17] Pirate_Hunter: are they sata / pata? [10:17] eeebuntu might be way to do [10:17] bazhang you said I will sudo the vmware.now its done. [10:17] go [10:17] bazhang how to install windowsxp there?

[10:21] oops, found it.. thanks again [10:21] :) [10:21] debian_noob: ah, na, not me [10:21] Pirate_Hunter: thats why its not detected, one must be master and one must be slave if they are connected to the same channel [10:22] as is, i have to restart x and use a config that only starts one monitor [10:22] jigp, start up the app after first inserting xp disk into cd/dvd drive [10:22] this is a major drag [10:22] mohadib:sorry for suspecting ;) [10:22] bazhang : I can internet also once installed in virtualbox ose? [10:22] :D [10:22] jigp, yes [10:22] fh [10:22] hai' [10:22] who had the issue with busybox? [10:22] bazhang : and install software too? [10:22] Pirate_Hunter: if they are both slave or both slave on the sma echannel, neither is detected [10:23] jigp, if you give the virtual machine enough hard drive space sure. [10:23] jigp, there are a number of tutorials on how to do this exactly [10:23] hai [10:23] bazhang : how much space?I have 160gb hd.i installed ubuntu without partition. [10:24] jigp:40 would beallright [10:24] jigp: depends what the vm is for [10:24] jigp, no idea as I never use windows xp in a vm. you should check the tutorials on the web for a walkthrough [10:24] jigp: to how much space, a very limited use vm would need maybe a few gb, a virtual sl server would need considerably more [10:25] hi [10:25] jigp: so there is no "correct" amount to assign [10:25] jigp:right [10:25] jigp:you should use at least 20gb [10:25] hello [10:25] i have an issue running Myth tv on another pc it only shows up in processors, it does open on screen, i dont understand [10:26] !hello | jester- [10:26] jester-: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:26] jigp: if you aren't too worried about performance you can set the drive to expand as you put more in it (up to your max which you set) instead of taking the maximum amount right off the bat === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [10:26] ActionParsnip, :o oh boooeee i thought if I took the cd drive i could connect the other hd and be able to use both since the ide has primary & slave, and ive just checked my /dev/uid and the hd is there but not being detected, are telling me i cant use both at the same time? [10:26] jigp: also you can add drives to it later [10:26] jigp:why do you need to use windows xp anyways? [10:27] jigp:linux has everything and even more [10:27] jigp, id get virtualbox-2.1 not ose if i were you.. its better..

I am installing clamav packages from ppa.launchpad.net [10:32] ActionParsnip: thanks man....another question, is there any video tutorials for ubuntu and linux in general? i wanna kick start learning linux and fully migrate from windows ? [10:32] I want to install also the gpg key [10:32] fo2sh: youtube / googlevideo [10:33] there is a link there how the repository is signed [10:33] I recently left my old job and I got new one, but there is a problem, no one there can controll ubuntu server through console commands, whats the easiest way to load gnome onto it so that they get a GUI (X) without loosing any configurations for the web and FTP servers? [10:33] fo2sh: i'd just try stuff and websearch whn you get stuck [10:33] but how do I import that key? [10:33] the key is on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-clamav/+archive [10:33] never did solve that CD problem. Just gonna bite the bullet and buy an external, and never have to worry about drive problems again. [10:33] Anyone know the names of bluetooth files i need to install for bluetooth to function/. [10:33] ActionParsnip: ok bro thanks a lot! :) [10:34] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108181/ [10:34] !info bluez [10:34] bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 4.12-0ubuntu5 (intrepid), package size 362 kB, installed size 1232 kB [10:34] Thanks., [10:34] amitbk: did you run: sudo apt-get update after updating the soures file? [10:35] amitbk, what are repos on line 54 and 55 [10:35] ActionParsnip: yup [10:35] 0.o~ 0bottu is wrong, its 371KB! [10:36] CoUrPsE|DeAd: whats 9k between friends eh [10:36] bazhang: that's a good question, let me check [10:36] lol. [10:36] hello, yesterday i installed ubuntu on my laptop, 8.10, and everything seemed fine. Then after a reboot, i see ubuntu loading bar but i get a blank screen after. I can hear the drums and i can get into the console. also may be good to mention, i updated the system before rebooting. any idea? [10:36] Will the "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ruin any configurations or installes software on a ubuntu servermachine? [10:36] bazhang: i think i used them to install freemind [10:37] Dorana: nnope it will only install additional software [10:37] bazhang: the version in the repos is not up to date [10:37] amitbk: do you have a carridge retirn at the end of the line [10:37] erUSUL Ahh, so it's a safe way to get a GUI on a server machine so I can leave it in care of someone that can't use console commands? [10:38] amitbk: you could always just visit: http://www.opera.com/download/ [10:38] Dorana: it is safe afaics [10:38] amitbk: and download the deb [10:38] brb [10:38] amitbk, that is odd [10:38] erUSUL thanks alot [10:38] HUmmm. [10:38] Mu bluetooth is borked. [10:38] Dorana: its more secure to not run an x server [10:39] amitbk, there are two other options ; one is get the opera repo or get the 3rd party deb, both of which will break package management [10:40] ActionParsnip : I know, thats why I didn't use X on it while I was admin, now I quit that job and they want me to install an X so that someone else can manage the server in ways of moving files around etc [10:40] Should there be Bluetooth optin in System/Prefences? [10:41] CoUrPsE|DeAd: try: sudo hciconfig hci0 reset [10:41] CoUrPsE|DeAd: that will blank off your bluetooth settings [10:41] FazLeeeN: Try remove xorg.conf in /etc/X11 but make backup [10:41] Didnt do anything. [10:42] hello can anyone help me with IceWm? I need to start icewmbg before i start icewm. but i don't know how to make this happen. thanks [10:42] Dorana: you could install a vnc server so they can log in graphically via vnc but there will only be a virtual x server while they are logged in [10:42] I dont have a bluetooth icon, i have a black page in my system tray, and i dont have a option for bluetooth settings in prefences or adminstrTION. [10:42] hello [10:42] shams_ i think i've tried that byt didn't work, let me try again [10:42] how do i know whether my imap certificate or postfix certificate expired? [10:42] dubi: try icewmbg; icewm [10:43] Hmmm. Does VNC really have that support? I was thinking about using Reflection X on it, but unsure if it requires X on the server itself [10:43] ActionParsnip, i usually login and see the ubuntu log in sign - so i type my username then password then it's already inside icewm. [10:43] dubi: is icewm not an option in gdm / kdm? [10:43] im in a predicament with firestarter, can i get a hand with it? [10:44] rn0308982: ask the room, it will probably answer [10:44] !firestarter [10:44] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [10:44] it is. and if i choose that option i log in without a wallpaper. i read the preferences file to set the background and it says i should run icewmbg before running icewm. i dont really get it [10:45] ActionParsnip: sorry for noob question [10:45] shams_: rename the file then just reboot right? [10:46] i did it thru command line last nite, i need to turn off mon0 thru mon6 [10:46] i just dont remember how [10:46] dubi: you need to ad the line in startsimple.sh before the icewm line [10:46] rn0308982: try: history | less [10:47] im on a live usb that dont save any of my history [10:47] only saves to /home [10:47] rn0308982: the bash history is in your home [10:47] rn0308982: its stored in ~/.bash_history [10:48] dubi: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/12848-icewm-cant-set-up-wallpaper.html [10:48] Well bugger, My Bluetooth seems borked. [10:48] ActionParsnip: thanks, i was sort of reading your previous sentence 5 times now lol [10:48] thanks again [10:49] its not in there, i have the last 78 lines only [10:50] how do i know whether my imap certificate or postfix certificate expired? [10:50] rn0308982: bah [10:50] rn0308982: im suprised its not saved [10:50] when i connect with mutt, i get the warning it has expired [10:50] !vmware [10:50] i swear it aint there [10:50] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories.

[10:52] amitbk, depending on outside sources is always a risk; the 3rd party deb is what I should have said [10:52] does somebody knows how i you ntfs partion on ubuntu? [10:52] bazhang: so you would rather d/l the specific deb than add the opera repo? [10:52] amitbk, just a second I will try to install opera from repos [10:53] What is meant by apt's 'Meta-index file'? Update Manager reports: "Unable to find expected entry in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" [10:53] plugin [10:53] amitbk bazhang: been using opera repo for months now, works just fine here [10:53] bohne: what about ntfs partitions, can you rephrase please [10:54] drash bazhang: do you guys have any idea why opera is no longer on the ubutnu repo? [10:54] any one knows about enabling audio in plugin src [10:54] amitbk: ask the repo maintainers [10:54] amitbk: no i don't [10:55] !ntfs3g > bohne [10:55] bohne, please see my private message [10:55] <_0x404> hi all [10:55] amitbk: theres a deb on the opra site, install it with: sudo dpkg -i [10:55] ActionParsnip: but then i won't get updates [10:56] any one knows abt audio MIME type registration [10:56] <_0x404> i going to polish channel [10:56] <_0x404> bye [10:56] anyone can assist on connecting to wireless network using the terminal? key provided [10:56] amitbk: true, but if its not on the repos you will have to do that or find another repo with it on, maybe opera have their own repo [10:56] is there an ubuntu server specific channel? [10:56] ActionParsnip, For futher refences, reinstalling 'gnome-bluetooth' restores all usb to default.

[10:57] erm, restores all bluetooth to default i meant sorry. [10:57] is there a "domain" style login solution I can use easily? [10:57] ActionParsnip: yes, they do, i just prefered to use the ubuntu one over opera's as i thought it gets tested better that way [10:57] <_0x404> -pl [10:58] ezerhoden yeah [10:58] <_generic_> Hello I'm working on my own Icon pack. Does any one know how nautilus knows how to display its own icon for ~/Desktop? I would really like to replicate this behavior for the ~/Music and ~/Documents folders. Can some one help me please?

[10:59] I'm not really sure I even want active directory [10:59] amitbk, so the wiki is outdated as I cannot install from there either [10:59] amitbk, so you can use opera repos or get the deb [10:59] which one? [10:59] I mean, I am willing to be very open minded here, as long as I have a single sign-on, one server that holds all authentication information for the local network [11:00] bazhang: ok, thanks. i'll go with the opera repos.

Also a combination of key and (for example) key will enable wireless device [11:08] michaelyoa: I think it's somekind og intel onboard, and the drivers where installed native while i installed kubuntu [11:08] I dunno [11:08] I just woke up [11:08] kk_ubuntu, not sure if aptoncd will work with a pen drive or not [11:08] !aptoncd [11:08] bazhang: ok [11:08] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [11:08] thank you drash [11:08] hmm...., is the wireless tool linksys or something? [11:09] m installing it right now [11:09] sometimes it's the wireless router itself thats buggy, and often reconnects/kills the connection [11:09] oCean: I've tried that, i doesn't seems to be any way to activate it that way [11:09] kavitha: you're welcome [11:09] vigo: I mean remove the word "irc" from your search ;-) [11:09] michaelyoa: I use KNetworkManager [11:09] ah [11:09] Skaag: ok [11:09] i meant whats the router?

[11:12] oCean_: It says 1 [11:12] I found my first software on ubuntu that requires me to have to pay to use it... [11:12] alex_sleiborg: and the light (indicator) is on atm?

How can I configure GNOME so that the called program window appears in the foreground? [11:15] yeah, but i think driver comming with phone is causing bluetooth to drop.

[11:15] Having trouble with an external usb soundcard that I have... [11:15] alex_sleiborg: hmm.. trying to change the state? that's weird. It doesn't seem to be the problem i had.

[11:15] But if I want to hear a youtube video...it comes out of the laptop speakers...and not the headphones [11:15] ActionParsnip, lol, Some come with better drivers. [11:15] i have installed, i can see audio related MIME types... but [11:16] CoUrPsE|DeAd: bluetooth is bluetooth dude, or you wouldnt be able to communicate with all the other bluetooth stuffs [11:16] CoUrPsE|DeAd: bluetooth is an ISO standard, if it doesnt obey the standard 100%, its not bluetooth [11:17] I am trying to delete a set of files by using "find" then grepping the output, then piping to "xargs rm", the problem is that some filenames contains spaces, which creates problems with xargs.

[11:19] anyone [11:20] hi [11:20] anyone have debs for xfce 4.6 beta 3?

On tab you can tick 'headphone' [11:23] kavitha: ok, and what player doesn't work right now for you with wav's ? [11:23] Gauntlet: you will need to write a bootloader to it, you only have a drive full of data files [11:23] its a video player... here we write an application to stream raw video and display in plugin browser. [11:23] KRS, do they offer an ubuntu or debian package? [11:23] there is no headphone tab [11:23] Gauntlet: the factoid will show you how to install to usb [11:24] mylisto: hit preferences > tick headphone there. I think 'switches' tab will appear [11:24] kavitha: ow i see, wav should be supported in all major browsers i guess [11:24] ActionParsnip: Thankyou [11:25] we have registered one MIME type that is application/dvrplayer... right now it supports only video.. my work is to enable audio in it [11:26] hmm....

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:28] Gotsu theres an antivirus in the add/remove [11:28] barduck: did you run the command as sudo? [11:28] !antivirus | gotu [11:28] gotu: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [11:28] ActionParsnip: yes, sure [11:28] !fixapt | barduck [11:28] barduck: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [11:29] hi [11:29] mylisto: strange, I should expect the headphone entry to be there.. whatever the card may be.

FAT32 is fully supported by the kernel [12:29] ti9m: well, it kind of depends on the response you want, you could do a broadcast ping, or you could use nmap to ping a range of addresses [12:29] hi there... is ubuntu a better choice for web developers ...compared to windows ? [12:29] ti9m: but all that would really do is tell you what is responding to ping [12:29] ormecuro: oh i thought you had 5.1 [12:30] ActionParsnip: I have done that - printer not listed nor do any of the ppd files of the other models work [12:30] silv3r_m00n: depends what you want to do [12:30] gordonjcp:ok [12:30] silv3r_m00n: for me, yes it is, because I don't care about using Photoshop and write the backend code [12:30] silv3r_m00n: could try it a few weeks, see what you think [12:31] ActionParsnip: its been over a month that i shifted all development work here in ubuntu... there are a few points like fast ftp connection , easy ssh and faster system [12:31] ormecuro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141004 [12:31] i want to know more [12:31] srv well i am not sure why you have the problem, perhaps you or your isp has a proxy that has the bad file [12:31] silv3r_m00n: if yu like it keep it, "best" is a user experince, not a massed concensus [12:31] question: is there any fixes for the brasero problem with wodim, failing on all burns? [12:32] ActionParsnip: hmm yes [12:32] silv3r_m00n: what kind of thing are you trying to do? [12:32] gordonjcp: php , python and rails [12:32] websites , scripts and desktop apps using sqlite [12:33] dns: my ISP has censorship appliances installed, there is another censorship node in the telecommunications ministry as well, maybe that causes the problem [12:33] silv3r_m00n: well the advantage with that is you can run basically an exact copy of your server configuration on your desktop [12:33] ActionParsnip: I'm going to output the few lines of dmesg that matter, hope that doesn't constitute spam [12:33] netou: pastebin [12:33] gordonjcp: yes thats another good point since most hosts are linux based [12:33] ActionParsnip:there is not an option about "4 channel mod" in switches tab? [12:33] silv3r_m00n: particularly if you use something like rails or django, you can - with a bit of clever trickery - use *exactly* the same code on both [12:34] gordonjcp: hmm .. yes [12:34] silv3r_m00n: that's not to say you couldn't do it on Windows if you knew how, but I know how to do it in Linux [12:34] dns: I have also tried "sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True" and "sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true" [12:34] srv yes that seems likely [12:34] ActionParsnip: and the oher problem is sound is very low although volume is full [12:34] gordonjcp: Thanks [12:34] ormecuro: it seems well documented if you websearch: ubuntu 4.1 sound [12:35] srv you probably could try a ftp mirror instead of http, most have both [12:35] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d3b465b03 [12:35] up : hi.

[12:37] srv well you could just change it to http:// to ftp:// and see what happens (cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup first) [12:37] Stargazer: installing it on the same machine as what? [12:38] ActionParsnip, what do you mean ? [12:38] dns: ok [12:38] ActionParsnip: were those last few ormecuro messages meant for me? [12:38] ActionParsnip: no, does not say [12:38] Stargazer: you can't just say same machine/hard drive without saying what it is on the same drive as [12:38] Stargazer: its like saying "my beer is the same" === srv is now known as alpace === alpace is now known as alpaca [12:39] sorry [12:39] Stargazer: "same as what" is the next question, the statement is missing a piece of information [12:39] ActionParsnip, it's on the same drive as another ubuntu install... going to install this one so i can extract some files as a replacement. [12:39] ActionParsnip: I'm assuming you wanted me to check fdisk for /dev/sdd and not ormecuro and sdd isn't in fdisk at all [12:40] Stargazer: if its another *buntu theres no real advantage in having 2 installs unless its to play, what *buntu are you installing? [12:40] eh [12:41] Stargazer: if you want to see your mount points where your current system is mounting you can read /etc/fstab. If you want to have a clean install of the other *buntu you will need another partition to install / to but can use the same partition as the standing install for /swap [12:41] ActionParsnip: they're both Ubuntu 8.10. i messed with some /etc files and it's locked into a Read only system... i am goinng to install this one to extract those files and use them as a replacement. [12:42] Oh, so i can use / as a mointpoint even though the other partition uses it ? (@ ActionParsnip ) [12:43] <_generic_> Hello I'm working on my own Icon pack. Does any one know how nautilus knows how to display its own icon for ~/Desktop? I would really like to replicate this behavior for the ~/Music and ~/Documents folders. Can some one help me please? [12:43] Stargazer: you could use: 'sudo chmod -R 755 /' which will make them full access for owner (root) and read/executable for everyone else in the world [12:44] Stargazer: if you want to copy over the files, you could create a new partition after resizing what you have and install to that and copy over, Im not sure thats a great soloution but thats how I'd do it [12:45] ActionParsnip: i've already an empty partition for this install. will using / as the moint point affect my other install ? [12:46] Stargazer: yes as thats the mount point for the running install, you'd have 2 installs and the new partitions will be mounted as / in that boot [12:47] _generic_ http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html would probably tell you [12:47] need skype to work on my hardy(64 bit) Acer laptop. it was working and now it doesnt. need some quick help, as i seem to be missing something trivial.

[12:48] hey ActionParsnip [12:48] ActionParsnip, how can i install 2 ubuntus on the same hard drive(different partitions) ? could i use // as a mount point for / ?

[12:49] it was working before. now when i do the skype test call, i can hear the other voice, but cant hear what i speak.

[12:49] Stargazer, may have to manyually take care of the grub entries.. but why do you want 2 ubuntus ? [12:49] ActionParsnip, i tried ur commands [12:49] ziroday: chances of mic going wrong are very less. but yes, mic is not working. [12:49] but it sayd operand missing [12:50] bliZZardz: does Applications > Sound and Video > Sound Recorder record your voice? [12:50] ziroday: Sound Recorder didnt work the other day when skype was working properly [12:50] new errors when upgrading.. http://pastebin.com/m2b2ed01c [12:50] :) [12:50] <_generic_> quibbler No I want to use its behavior and give ~/Music a special Icon like ~/Desktop [12:50] Dr_willis, when i tried to augment some files so that VBox could do USB inside the guest OS, i took something out and now i want to install this ubuntu so i can get those files as a replacement. [12:50] connar: read man chmod and man chown [12:50] bliZZardz: err okay. Does gnome-sound-properties record your voice? [12:51] hey guys [12:51] ActionParsnip, what do u think the problen is?

[12:51] bliZZardz: in a terminal type in gnome-sound-properties and hit enter [12:51] Yo altus-dominus [12:51] Stargazer, may be quicker to see ifyou can get them from a live cd.. or install them inside a seperate virtualbox virtual install.. [12:52] Anyone use gimp [12:52] Stargazer, or figure out what files and what package gthey came from and use the package manager to restore them [12:52] Ryder51, lots of people do. :) [12:52] connar: i think its an ownership thing, you can test by renaming ~/.mozilla then rerunning it, you will get a stock profile. If its still bad the app needs reinstalling [12:52] ziroday: and? [12:52] i have a question, could ya help me [12:52] im running ubuntu 8.10 x64, just intalled vmware but when I setup virtual machine i cant seem to get firefox to lunch the console [12:52] bliZZardz: a program should popup...

[12:52] !ask | Ryder51 [12:52] Ryder51: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[13:03] Stargazer: you might use apt-get remove , or apt-get install [13:03] does my 1280x1024 @ 60hz resolution have anything to do with it (yes i use 60hz) [13:03] DilbertDave: it's not GPLed software [13:03] jrib: :D [13:03] damn acpi :) [13:03] Gordonjcp, it's a read-only file system... no way i'm going to be able to use either of those commands to remove or add something. [13:03] DilbertDave: flash is a propretary format so the plugin is not compilable, the plugin is a binary === marko__ is now known as marko-_- [13:04] but nonfree seems to imply something else - nongpl would have been a better suffix [13:04] RocketLauncher: right klick desktop and turn off visual effects [13:04] DilbertDave: free as in speech, not free as in beer [13:04] DilbertDave: gnash is gpl and open source but is a best attempt due to the nature of flash [13:04] ps ax|grep ubuntu ? [13:04] gordonjcp: love it :D [13:04] Stargazer: start from the beginning, how did you get into this situation? [13:04] sepLl: Ok [13:05] ActionParsnip: not heard that term before? [13:05] ah - so free but not Open Source? [13:05] RocketLauncher: desktop -> wallpaper -> visual effets [13:05] gordonjcp: no but its going on my belt [13:05] DilbertDave: bingo [13:05] it doesnt flicker anymore. now to watch my sailor moon :3 [13:05] Gordonjcp, i edited a few files to get USB devices working in VBox... then i removed them later because they did nothing... i probably removed too much and triggered something. [13:05] i see now [13:06] Stargazer: hmm, so how has the filesystem become read-only? [13:06] if a package only lists the MOTU list as maintainer, should I mail bugs/solutions there or are there more individual contact possibilities? [13:06] i did try gnash but it didn't seem to work on the majority of sites I vistited [13:06] thanks guys - TTFN [13:07] Gordonjcp, no idea. i edited the files... tried to boot up the next morning and went "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" [13:07] DilbertDave: it's really nonfree license [13:07] Ne to chtobi slab - a prosto krov ne greet starih lap . . . [13:08] !ua | Kazbek [13:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about ua [13:08] I installed Ubuntu over my Windows partition. Was this awesome? y/n [13:09] RocketLauncher: if ubuntu suits your needs better, then yes [13:09] Stargazer: hmm, without actually seeing the error messages you have, it's probably going to be tricky [13:09] Stargazer: have you tried remounting as read-write? [13:09] ActionParsnip: It does :D [13:09] Gordonjcp, oh the error message, i took pictures. [13:09] hello [13:10] Gordonjcp: http://adam.pcriot.com/r/100_0103.JPG [13:10] Network manager keeps telling me no valid connection available or something [13:11] Everybody got spammend in a PM by akaSweet? [13:11] I'd like to install a ftp server to transfer large files on local network... which one would you choose and why ? [13:11] fire I didn't [13:11] FireFox: I didn't [13:11] I feel left out [13:11] I did [13:11] gordonjcp: so do i [13:11] Stargazer: okay the problem occurs somwhere before you got to that pic [13:11] FireFox: i did, just close it [13:11] Network manager keeps telling me no valid connection available or something. should I remove NM? [13:11] I hate it when people are doing that [13:12] ban the guy [13:12] ecor6633, now a days. its proberly best to learn to use ssh and not use ftp. but on a local network its not that big a security issue. but ssh can be so handy [13:12] Stargazer: maybe you could try booting as single-user and running fsck, to check that the filesystem is clean [13:12] FireFox: do you know who it was? [13:12] ecor6633: use sftp or scp, these days [13:12] FireFox, ActionParsnip: I've already banned the ip [13:12] no I have no clue [13:12] ok thank jrib [13:12] jrib: that'll do it [13:12] Dr_willis: i transfered today the files through scp and it took me more than an hour [13:13] ecor6633: how big are the files, and how fast is the link? [13:13] ecor6633, is this a linux to linux setup? [13:13] I'd like to get easy access for linux and windows [13:13] but server is ubuntu [13:13] ecor6633: setup a samba server :) [13:13] ecor6633: then all clients can access it [13:13] approx. 30Gb and other smaller [13:14] ecor6633: that would take about an hour [13:14] it is RJ45 cable i think still 100Mb/s [13:14] Gordonjcp, i can't run it. it says if i run it on a mounted filesystem it could cause severe damage. [13:14] Network manager keeps telling me no valid connection available or something. should I remove NM? [13:14] Kazbek: Here in #ubuntu we only speak english. The Ukrainian loco team may be able to help you, see: http://blog.ubuntu.kiev.ua/ . If you speak russian, I'll have ubottu send you the russion channel information. [13:14] yes but i though that getting it transfered unencrypted would be faster, am i wrong ? [13:15] !ru | Kazbek [13:15] Kazbek: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:15] Stargazer: thats why you should reboot to recovery -> root console and unmount / fsck there [13:15] ActionParsnip: is samba fastest than scp ? [13:16] ecor6633: not sure, give it a try === Guest938 is now known as skunkworks_ [13:17] ActionParsnip: ok i'll setup samba, ssh is already set and ftp too so that i can choose the best but... [13:17] ActionParsnip: which ftp server ? [13:17] ecor6633: remember to set TCP_NODELAY in /etc/samba/smb.conf ;) [13:18] ActionParsnip: yes thanks [13:18] ActionParsnip, gordonjcp: it says / is clean. gives me number of files and blocks too. [13:18] ecor6633: theres a tonne, vsftpd, powerftpd [13:19] ActionParsnip: i know but how choose one ? just randomly ? [13:21] ecor6633: try a few to see which you prefer, there is no "best" in software options [13:21] !best [13:21] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:24] is there a way to send the active to the next monitor in twin view? [13:25] what is the difference between GNOME and X Script in session selection at login ? (ubuntu 8.04) [13:27] zubair, gnome uses gdm [13:27] zubair, the xinit/xsession stuff lets you define a script that runs instead of the gnome desktop. === Frn is now known as Fraeon [13:27] zubair, i often use that to test out my self-compiled windowmanagers/desktops/other toys [13:28] how do i make the system re-read fstab without restarting?

[13:30] @Dr_willis : so that means If I am putting my hands into windows/display management , I should use GNOME as the default session in ubuntu? [13:30] sorry typo === NickyBrilliant is now known as NickySkiteff [13:31] thekro, you need to make sure that gnome audio daemon is disabled [13:31] @Dr_willis : Amend to read....so that means If I am not putting my hands into windows/display management , I should use GNOME as the default session in ubuntu? [13:31] @oobe: I'm running KDE, not Gnome [13:32] Sorry, anybody know, why I cant run Wubi ?? [13:32] Dr_willis, hmm I mean i need the system to refresh/re-read fstab ive just changed the directory for a hd but it is still looking in the old directory [13:32] Pirate_Hunter, you must unmount the old... with 'sudo umount /media/whjatever' [13:33] is it possible to share 2 drives under 1 nfs folder, if both drives are mounted under say 1 /media/share folder? [13:33] NickySkiteff, not allowed to do so (admin)? [13:33] zubair, if you dont need the extra tweakability.. use gnome [13:34] Pirate_Hunter, Connection error... [13:34] NickySkiteff: did you md5 check the wubi installer? [13:35] Thanks Dr_willis [13:35] hello [13:35] !hi | tomekp [13:35] tomekp: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:35] NickySkiteff, not really sure if that is the message your getting you might want to try someother time or make sure firewall is not blocking wubi from the internet [13:36] hello guys [13:36] !hi | alexy92 [13:36] alexy92: Hi!

[13:37] wrong chat [13:37] hi guys any idea why a properly authentificated gnome login does not work (after a few secs the system asks for new login)?

Nvidia cards are hugely supported [13:38] i have a blank hard disk which was of that of a laptop one, which used to be used as a windows xp install years ago, that laptop hdd had stuff on it which i removed and reformatted seeing that it i have got an external hdd, now that hdd is not bootable anymore [13:38] does anyone know a way to reseal an ubuntu installation, to add new users on bootup, the way you could on windows?

[13:51] I installed ubuntu on my laptop [13:51] victorash: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy should be relevant to intrepid too [13:52] and now one of my fans makes much more noise than it did before i switched to ubuntu [13:52] thekro : i don't remember exactly , but it's something about video card it's not well config, and gives me 3 select options [13:52] is there any way i can make sure it is a hardware defect?

[13:55] tell me exacty what xorg does [13:55] tomcat_ha: you can check some file in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ [13:55] xorg creates your gui enviroment [13:55] does anyone know a way to reseal an ubuntu installation, to add new users on bootup, the way you could on windows?

[13:59] dd if=/dev/sda of= ??? | gz [14:00] slimz: you should have stated that you wanted to clone your installation [14:00] the term "ohmy" is grossly offensive [14:00] ecor6633 is this a one time backup or are you considering using in as a cron job? [14:00] I wish people would stop using it [14:00] mick02: one time backup, multiple time restore [14:00] gordonjcp, Stop it [14:00] tritium, i did mention reseal, new user on bootup, and sysprep? [14:00] Jack_Sparrow: there's a perfectly good !language [14:00] does anybody have any experience with TV Tuners? The documentation that I'm finding is so spotty, I can't find any of the information that I need... [14:00] slimz: don't use windows-isms [14:01] slimz: new user on bootup has *nothing* to do with cloning an install [14:01] lopin: they either work or they don't. I've found the SAA-whatever analogue tuners to work pretty well [14:01] gordonjcp, It isnt up to debate in here feel free to /join -ops or -offtopic if you want [14:01] mick02: but i only used 4Gb out of 62 and i'd like a small image arround 4Gb if possible [14:01] ecor6633 have you already got a *nix server on your LAN ... if so I would highly recommend Clonezilla. I've set it up in work to create images of different OS's (Windows and *nix) to a server using SSH and restore at least 4 or 5 times a week from the image [14:01] is there a way that I can adapt my profile for my terminal that I don't have the menu screen arround it? [14:02] paul68: you mean the menubar? [14:02] tritium, thanks for the info [14:02] gordonjcp: the complete window [14:02] I'm still unable to install 8.04 server. It fails at the "grub" section of the install. I know the disks are OK as FreeBSD installs and boots ok. Trying to run "grub-installer" manually but I can't find out what parameters it takes. Incidentally, root is /dev/rd/c0d0p7 [14:03] mick02: i think i already tried installing such a thing but there's a lot of configuration and it requires on machine to backup... i'd like somthing really simple [14:03] paul68: hmm, even if you do "full screen" it's still got a menu bar [14:03] boohbah and then now what? [14:03] gordonjcp, The one that I have is Generic as all hell. I don't know what card number to pass to the module. And, I can't even find a list of proper tuner numbers, either... [14:03] ecor6633 Clonezilla is amazingly simple .... what exactly are you trying to do? [14:03] I would like to modify a launcher in the applications menu so it has its own environment variable.. is that a way to do that? [14:03] lopin: do you even know what chip is on it?

[14:14] yes [14:14] its wierd because considering this is a laptop [14:14] victorash, You will need to provide details before someone can help you. Which version of Ubuntu, what video card chipset and if you treid to manually install any video drivers and how they were installed [14:14] paul68: http://www.tectonic.co.za/wordpress/?p=1719 [14:14] there would be a gpu temp monitor [14:14] How do ichange the launchers on applications menu to reflect my own command line? [14:15] Milk_Rulz you have to add it to your Session in System menu [14:15] and i could check my gpu temp when i still had windows on this [14:15] with everest [14:15] Should i reinstall gfx card driver?

[14:16] tritium, yeah im trying kickstart now, thanks [14:16] how can i set screen to work properly, controls like shift+page up/down dont work etc? [14:16] tomcat_ha: there is a screenlet for gpu temperature i think [14:16] screenlet? [14:16] slimz: great, good luck [14:17] kj4: unless you truly need > 3GB RAM support, I'd stick with 32-bit. You won't see a performance gain with 64-bit. [14:17] 2GB ram [14:17] any help? ubuntu 8.10 graphic installer goes to shell, and nothing happends. What to do? (64bit version) [14:17] Temppu: try the 32-bit version? [14:18] thanks for the advice, ActionParsnip and tritium [14:18] tritium, tomcat_ha, I ran sensors-detect now how do I see stuff [14:18] why? 4gb ram, i'd like to use it :) [14:18] kj4: 32bit will do you just fine [14:18] how can i set screen to work properly, controls like shift+page up/down dont work etc?

[14:23] can u help me with xubuntu [14:23] ActionParsnip: sorry I'm not fully understanding, could you give me an example what I would type if it was named "Emesene" and I want to move it to /usr/share/autostart [14:23] tritium, yeah I want to see everything [14:23] ive installed updates on my eepc 7.10 [14:23] and wifi is not working [14:23] #so the external hdd # [14:23] Milk_Rulz: mv ./Emesene /usr/share/autostart [14:23] tritium, in /etc/sensors.conf it says I can see input voltages etc [14:24] cored, on my eepc i had to disable and re-enable the wifi sometimes due to sleep mode [14:24] Milk_Rulz: make sure the case is identical. Linux is MASSIVELY CasE SenNSiTiVe [14:24] gordonjcp: hello! [14:24] Every now and then the keyboard language changes, even though I am not aware of me doing anything that would cause that.

[14:26] Mohammad[B]: 209.*.204.* is not an ip address [14:26] ActionParsnip: My computer just beeps, nothing happens [14:26] tritium, the voltages are defined in my sensors.conf but when I run sensors it only shows cpu temp [14:27] Milk_Rulz: is it on another users desktop, you have a rogue file somewhere. You could do it the easy way and remake the symlink in the folder you want [14:27] !backup > cored [14:27] cored, please see my private message [14:27] anybody know how to get lm-sensors to show voltages?

I was hoping to see voltages and such like sensors.conf hints at [14:28] ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot for your help. [14:28] hwilde: so, you have no more sensors [14:29] fosco_, wait, the modules it added to /etc/modules do not seem to be laoded in lsmod. [14:29] manually load them [14:29] fosco_, yep, all kinds of stuff now [14:30] fosco_, sensors-detect should probly do that if you are upstream [14:30] Milk_Rulz: you said it was capital e..why do you fool me boy ;) [14:30] !eee [14:30] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [14:30] Milk_Rulz: you'll need sudo to cp to /usr/share/autostart too, check case there too, you can tab complete to make double sure [14:31] After adding medibuntu to my software repositories, searching for anything from that site (e.g. acroread) in adept doesn't return anything, command line apt-get does work however.

[15:01] thekro: yeah that is a theory [15:01] new-to-ubuntu: I start and stop auto runs with ,,wait. let me look again [15:01] sockets: no it's not just u [15:01] since i didn't install from compiling the apache2 source, i get it from synaptic, so i guess it is installed differently too [15:02] !lamp [15:02] 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+) [15:02] new_to_ubuntu-: so: [15:02] new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [15:02] the6step, in the gnome-terminal sudo synaptic and.. gnome panel mneu use [15:02] ah, gnome it is then :] [15:02] new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [15:02] new-to-ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [15:02] /etc/init.d/apache2 start/stop/restart [15:02] with sudo, of course [15:02] sockets: try xubuntu (xfce4) [15:02] dayo // and sudo service apache2 start/stop/restart [15:02] hey, I want to execute something after a system resume [15:02] kernel: cool. i had no idea [15:03] cumulus007: like what? [15:03] dayo, are all the applications cross-compatible?.. kde apps on xubuntu ect? [15:03] is it, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 -k start/restart/stop ? [15:03] jrib: I want to execute modprobe to unload a module [15:04] sockets: not really. depends on which apps u mean. xubuntu is optimized for speed and lightness. kubuntu.... needs a serious diet [15:04] new_to_ubuntu-: -k isn't necessary [15:04] alright thanks :] [15:04] dayo: it doesn't need a diet [15:05] my KDE installation is freaking fast [15:05] without -k, it doesn't work, it replies with apache2 syntax [15:05] cumulus007, it depends on the system i guess, mines is a P4 - gnome is noticable faster.. and dayo confirmed that [15:05] with -k, it doesn't work either, it replies with: apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [15:05] kernel: so I tried that and I couldn't find it...... basically what I'm doing is on this page: http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/new_installation.html and if you look, they show 1 way of installing python-trml2pdf but I don't think that works reliably either.... maybe I could manually install it? [15:06] cumulus007: you can use /etc/pm/*. Read /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/HOWTO.hooks . Example I use: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1221592.html [15:06] cumulus007: kde's hypereyecandy scorches my retinae, routinely! :P [15:06] how can i recover my /etc/passwd file? [15:06] the6step, yes. [15:07] nick|here: from backups would be optimal. What happened to it? [15:07] dayo: eyecandy can be disabled by alt+shift+f12 [15:07] cumulus007: is apache2 conf files kept on /etc/apache2 ? [15:07] new_to_ubuntu-: yes [15:07] jrib: thanks, will try that [15:07] jrib: i was copying it, but accidentally misplaced the locations. and copied a blank file on it [15:08] cumulus007: then why go for kde at all? [15:08] jrib: i have it as a backup, but i can't alter it, because it says me sudo: uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file! [15:08] ok, i find on apache2.conf: [15:09] # These need to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars [15:09] User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [15:09] Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} [15:09] what should i put there? [15:09] new_to_ubuntu-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:09] nick|here: I have a file called /etc/passwd-. Do you have that? I have no idea what it is, ubt you should find out [15:09] dayo: because it has a lot more functionality than gnome has [15:09] nick|here: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu [15:09] hey guys is there a way to access a passworded hdd as an external drive ? [15:09] new-to-ubuntu: I cannot find the page yet, is basically enable or disable [15:10] cumulus007: well, so far i've not had a very pleasant experience with kde. it's far too bloated for my liking. and i left gnome because i found xubuntu to be much faster, lighter and cleaner-looking [15:10] Is it possible to somehow install apt, and setup the sources list, and then "move" to ubuntu without having to burn a disc? [15:10] dayo: what was your last kde version? [15:11] nick|here: do you have /etc/passwd~ ? [15:11] - [15:11] what is the best way to block local access to just one specific website? [15:11] Dvyjones, If you mean install the ubuntu-desktop in kubuntu .. yes [15:12] what is the command string to list what services that is currently runnin g [15:12] usr13: yes, i have it. [15:12] cumulus007: not sure. it was kubuntu on hardy [15:12] can someone help me out in figureing out how to make a daemon? [15:12] new_to_ubuntu-, ps and ps -e [15:12] ah, that was 4.0 [15:12] dayo: ^. 4.2 is coming in a few days, and is far less bloated [15:12] Jack_Sparrow: No, I mean moving from ArchLinux to Ubuntu... [15:12] nick|here: very good [15:12] new-to-ubuntu: you are in the right place,,,http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1031297&highlight=stop+auto+start+aoache2 [15:13] 4.2 is comming in a 5 days?? [15:13] dayo: http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.2-rc.php [15:13] nick|here: cp /etc/passwd- /etc/passwd [15:13] hi [15:13] kernel: it does [15:13] cumulus007: i just might give it a shot [15:13] :) [15:13] Dvyjones, I know nothing of arch.. [15:13] in ubuntu have note pad? [15:13] dayo: if you have a nvidia gpu, you should try kde with nvidia-glx-180 [15:13] i have a question, but not about ubuntu, but you are english native speaking people, so I ask you [15:13] clarks: yes [15:13] what mean in english soybean [15:13] clarks, gedit [15:13] otherwise it's graphics are almost unusable [15:14] ok.. [15:14] usr13: it's not that simple. since i don't have a root account declared in /etc/passwd, sudo is broken. and su is not working too [15:14] Can anyone tell me of an application that can compress AVI files? [15:14] clarks: Tomboy or whatever you like really [15:14] kikokos: it's a bean of the soya plant, I guess [15:14] i get 7 different PID for apache2, is that mean it is running? the TTY is "?" [15:14] but i think not about plant, when this word is using coloqually [15:14] nick|here: Youll need to use a live CD [15:14] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2BBD133164234534 [15:14] new_to_ubuntu-, TTY is Terminal pts is console [15:14] how do i solve it? [15:14] cumulus007, when somebody in discuusion use it e.x. "oh soybean" [15:15] Anyone? [15:15] new-to-ubuntu: ls it? [15:15] cumulus007: i got ATI [15:15] !beanlingo [15:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about beanlingo [15:15] !mount [15:15] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [15:15] nick|here: How did you break sudo? [15:15] w00dr0w: probably many howto's on internet. You might want to visit #linux for specific problems/questions [15:16] !man [15:16] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:16] I'm having a problem installing ubuntu on a machine [15:16] anyone know where I can download the alpha 3 of 9.04 ? [15:16] dayo: okay, I think that's not a problem [15:16] chanus, what is problem? [15:16] vigo: i don't understand the link u gave me [15:16] Can anyone tell me of an application that can compress AVI files? [15:16] both 8.04 & 8.10 crashes with an UBIQUITY error [15:16] chanux, what is problem? : ); [15:16] this happened thrice [15:16] cumulus007, it's a part of my conversation with developer :P so i'm not sure it can be idiom or not? [15:16] hi there, in which log can i find why my apache restarted? /var/log/apache/*.log doesnt seems to give anything. [15:16] new-to-ubuntu: look down a bit [15:17] kikokos: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=soybean [15:17] vigo: try /var/log/syslog [15:17] mm2000: it's apache2 [15:17] all: how do you configure locales? (I'm on gutsy gibbon) [15:17] new-to-ubuntu: Caribbe explains it === TimeLord is now known as Guest29277 [15:17] nick|here: Oh, I suppose sudo is now borken because your /etc/passwd file is empty. Ok, I get it. Interesting problem... I've yet to make that mistake :) [15:18] Googled for this problem but all forum threads do not have answers [15:18] cumulus007, wow thankyou so much i couldnt find it :) [15:18] nick|here: how did *that* happen?? [15:18] i am using 8.10 but webmin sees my system as 8.04. why? [15:18] chanux, what is problem? [15:18] kikokos: :) [15:19] dayo: I was denied [15:19] nick|here: I assume you don't have any sudo/root session atm? [15:19] !webmin [15:19] 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. [15:19] u're refering: For any other service I usually just use stop and start. Most of the server scripts are located in /etc/init.d ? [15:19] kernel, installer crashes with an error about ubiquity [15:19] dayo: i'm creating a jail, and i'm sleepy at the moment and accidentally replaced it with a blank file [15:19] oCean_: yes [15:19] chanux, what is an error message? [15:19] vigo: use sudo [15:19] vigo: sudo vim /var/log/syslog [15:19] whoops [15:19] nick|here, What about running livecd and copying that password file [15:19] Jack_Sparrow, I tried ebox, it overwrote my smb.conf [15:20] Kartagis, gosa is also useful, it's what I use [15:20] nick|here: aaah, the groggy touch from hell. been there. sleepiness is a bad state of mind for these things [15:20] jorvis: see /topic of #ubuntu+1 [15:20] kernel, says ubiquity crashed and asks me to report the prob [15:20] user@myubuntu:/etc/init.d$ apache2 -k start [15:20] apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: it's the thing i'm going to do i guess. there isn't any other option i think [15:20] what user name that is refering? [15:21] new_to_ubuntu-: when I install and start Apache2, I don't have that error [15:21] Ok,,I do not know what I did, but I did it [15:21] new_to_ubuntu-: what does the -k option? [15:21] nick|here: you could also try booting straight into shell, but I'm not totally sure whether that works with empty passwd. It should i guess [15:22] new_to_ubuntu-, no -k option, Try to sudo service apache2 start [15:22] kernel, you there? [15:22] chanux, yeah, by the way.. I don't know that problem.. I'm sorry.. [15:22] cumulus007: i don't know what -k for, but without the -k, the apache2 replies and asking me to do the correct syntax i should put -k in front of the start option [15:22] new_to_ubuntu-: I think you have done something wrong [15:23] new_to_ubuntu-: have you edited the config file or something? [15:24] ahhh.... the 'sudo service apache2 start/stop' works [15:24] : ) [15:25] is there some kind of notepad that i can use to edit conf files? [15:25] of course [15:25] Gedit [15:25] and vi [15:25] Gedit is GNOME's editor, vi is command line [15:26] cool, gedit is what i needed [15:26] new_to_ubuntu-, if you like GUI then use the gedit [15:26] i was using nano, it is hard to use it, like 'edit' on DOS [15:26] Aha.. [15:26] new_to_ubuntu-: gedit is 10 times better than ms notepad :) [15:26] new_to_ubuntu-: forget about vi then :) [15:27] is their a way that i can view the data files off a nvidia raid 0 setup? [15:27] yeah, i think you're right, i'm looking at it now, and it has lots of options [15:27] in "man stat" or "stat somefile" what is the difference between "Time of last modification"/"Modify:" and "Time of last change"/"Change:"? [15:28] hey all [15:28] how can I convert a jpg to a pdf file in ubuntu? [15:28] comulus007: isn't httpd.conf the apache main config file? [15:28] or is there an app that I can download to do this?\ [15:28] unr3a1: think imagemagick will do it [15:28] how can i mount a ntfs external to ubuntu i keep getting a mounting error [15:28] new_to_ubuntu-,is it apache2.conf ? [15:28] unr3a1: "results may vary" though ;-) [15:29] new_to_ubuntu-, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [15:29] matveev: I *think*, but not totally sure, that modifications also can be changes on file attributes (ownership, permissions). Changes must be actual writes to file [15:29] In my installation environment, root is mounted as /dev/rd/c0d0p7, but when I chroot to /target, it gets mounted as '/dev/disk/by-uuid etc...' I think this is confusing grub. I've tried remounting it, 'mount -o remount /dev/rd/c0d0p7 /' but it doesn't change. Any ideas? [15:29] hi [15:29] gordonjcp: and these PDFs will be readable in Windows? [15:29] hm, i believe i used to conf httpd.conf on my win32 version apache === patrik__ is now known as patrik [15:29] unr3a1: presumably, if you can read PDFs in Windows [15:30] Hmm.. new_to_ubuntu- but i use to apache2.conf in ubuntu [15:30] new_to_ubuntu-: that was probably apache 1.x [15:30] gordonjcp: ok, I installed it via apt-get, but its not in the menus, and its not a command. how does it work? [15:30] what's httpd.conf for on ubuntu? i got it here, but it's empty [15:30] gordonjcp: like a printer or something? [15:30] kernel, u there? [15:31] chanux, Yeah. [15:31] kernel, sorry had a network prob [15:31] AHa.. [15:31] kernel, When I install Ibex/Hardy the installer crashes [15:31] I want to install Ubuntu 8.10 Server (64 Bit), and I have a Raid 5 with 3 HDs. When it comes to partitioning the installer does not offer me to actually do partition my disks. In the shell I get: dmraid -ay ==> ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel. What can I do? [15:31] ah [15:31] kernel, and says that ubiquity crashed [15:32] matveev: It's actually the opposite (I tried. changing file attributes are "changes" editing file contents is "modification") [15:32] * ice_cream begins playing with a fresh 8.10 server [15:32] unr3a1: I just type "convert " and let it rip [15:32] Hmm.. [15:32] so i guess, i should just ignore httpd.conf :) [15:32] Dvyjones speaking to Jack_Sparrow , :D nice combo, maybe you should be out to kill him [15:32] but btw, dmraid -s correctly shows me the Raid. [15:32] kk [15:32] chanux, please give me to the error message [15:32] ty [15:32] hey guys is there a way to access a passworded hdd as an external drive ? === Bllasae-Away is now known as Bllasae|Tropico === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:33] I just installed wine and when I right click and exe file and go "Open with wine windows loader" it does nothing [15:33] kernel, problem is there was not an error message on GUI & didn't check the error log.

[15:34] kernel, I'll come with more resources later then :) [15:34] kuckkuck [15:34] how do i signify that im stopping passing arguments to a command and am running a new command with &&? some programs think im trying to pass them the && characters and dont like it [15:34] new_to_ubuntu-: httpd.conf is now for ackwards compatability reasons and 3rd party modules. [15:34] backwards* [15:34] Milk_Rulz, maybe if in a terminal you do wine /path/to/file.exe it will tell you the error (if any) [15:34] I have intrepid but it has no shut down screen??? [15:34] gordonjcp: ok.. let me see if this will work... will let you know in 5 minutes [15:35] ===> Does Ubuntus 8.10 Server (64-Bit) installer work with RAID 5 systems? <=== [15:35] it should [15:35] I want to install Ubuntu 8.10 Server (64 Bit), and I have a Raid 5 with 3 HDs.

[15:39] AWizzArd: is this raid on the chipset or a real card? [15:39] Milk_Rulz, shrug, could be your exe, could be something with a particular version of wine... google is your friend [15:39] Jeruvy: unfortunately I am not sure about it. But I believe this is a On-Board card. [15:39] kernel, so it has no usplash at shot down?

So I can find out how much cpu a certain programm is using over time? [15:43] epicgoo: you can disable it if you want, I think [15:43] mine just closes the screen and shuts down after a few seconds [15:43] I imagine it uses usplash [15:43] oh [15:43] SlimeyPete, I want to enable it :) [15:43] it's probably suspending or hibernating then? [15:43] rather than actually shutting down [15:43] no [15:43] hiiiiiiii frnds [15:43] I choose shut down [15:44] Hmm,..

I simply hook it up to the usb/ide or sata adapter and plug it in and then it pops up like a flash drive would.. [15:45] at risk of getting snarled at for what I guess is a simple question.... how do I get the 32-bit packages (for boost in this case) on a 64-bit version of ubuntu using apt-get? [15:46] shop: yes, with the ntfs-3g read/write driver for FUSE [15:46] g-e: top gives some info, what exactly are you seeking? Just something to troubleshoot or are your benching some app? [15:46] shop, yes you can copy/move data on a ntfs partition on 8ç10 [15:46] just like copying to a flash drive right.. it will be all drag and drop and no hassle? [15:46] Jeruvy: i want to see if its firefox that causes little pauses for about a second on this machine every 10 seconds or so. [15:46] hmm.. "watch ps aux | grep firefox" does not work. [15:46] it is my work computer and i need this one thing to work [15:47] shop: yes it would [15:47] thanks [15:47] shop: if you correctly shut down the drives on a windows system, the drivers will mount without anyproblems [15:48] shop : else linux will pop up a window telling you how to mount the drivers [15:48] shop : but in general, no problems at all [15:48] FireFox, :D [15:48] he/she left [15:48] ah didn't see it:d [15:49] hello [15:50] hi [15:50] oCean_: right, rename does not "modify" file but is also a "change" [15:50] does anyone in here know how to connec to the msn network in irssi?

Use apt-get/synaptic to install it, then point irssi at localhost. [15:51] Jeruvy: when I would have a real RAID controller in my compi, would I then even notice it during installation? Wouldn't the controller claim there is only one typical (non-raid) sata hd available? [15:51] I have bitlbee, but doesnt know witch server [15:51] pidgin doesn't work? [15:51] tony__: strange. I've never had to tell it a server. [15:51] epicgoo: yes, it does [15:51] g-e: if you close firefox does the problem disappear, or do you only notice it when browsing? Try going to speedtest.net and doing a test. [15:51] I just did an "account add" for msn and it worked [15:51] AWizzArd, correct [15:51] AWizzArd: depends, some do exactly that, others require more guidance [15:52] tony__: I believe there is a support channel, perhaps #bitlbee [15:52] okay, thanks Jack_Sparrow and Jeruvy [15:52] okey, thanks pete [15:52] AWizzArd: not that it helps but if I had to choose between fakeraid and JBOD, I'd go the latter :) === grezeht_ is now known as grezeht [15:53] what is JBOD?

I have ubuntu 8.10 desktop with a Nvidia 8600 graphic card. Nvidia drivers installed. In nvidia-settings I can see that output to my tv is exactly the same as to the LCD screen. 59.88Hz. I guess this is the problem? My TV wants 50Hz (PAL). I have tried hard setting values 'Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"' and 'Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"' in xo [16:03] rg.conf without any change. Lowering resolution down to as low as 320x240 does not help.

[16:31] suddenly apache is really not functioning as it should and is now not generating an index when there is no index.php file. [16:31] facepalm_: that'd be a hardware problem. can you open it? [16:31] instead it wants to open "x-trash" [16:31] it still is breaked [16:31] maybe not as much, but still annoying in this scene [16:31] Hi, I'm trying to copy over /home/bert to /media/backup (so I copy from /home the "bert" dir), it calculates, I tell it to ignore files that can't be copied (like .dbus), it starts copying and then stops on 162,3MB of 31,9GB with still 118.306 files to go, is this a bug ? [16:32] d_rwin: maybe the removal of that one spooked it, I am not certain, that is just a guess. [16:32] joaospinto: mkv tends to require some pretty hefty resources - how much memory? [16:32] gnea: yeah, it opens up fine. I have 2 different CD drives and they both open and close fine but don't get recognized by BIOS. I have BIOS set to automatically find them, and I checked the cables and it all appears to be fine [16:32] 512MB [16:32] i have already turned of everything i had turned on [16:32] (deluge) [16:32] Gnea: it gave me no results [16:32] <__MAV> Hello everybody! [16:32] @Gnea: I doubt that both of my CD drives decided to die on the same day out of the blue, ya'know? [16:33] wigo, yes i think it did , how do i fix it [16:33] Check my xorg.conf and tell why X dont appear this :x [16:33] facepalm_: something must be set in the bios under the standard settings then [16:33] i am using totem gstreamer is that fine?

[16:35] Gnea: I put in a new SATA drive about a week ago (4 total) but I don't think that should matter, right? The CD drive is one of those IDE ribbon ones [16:35] so... is totem gstreamer fine?

The problem is that it exits the QEMU after guest restars. I don't want this behavior - I just want it to restart, not ot exit Qemu. How do I fix this ?

Need some help installing an nvidia driver on 8.10. downloaded and installed drivers from the repo, but apparently there's a command change to enable the driver (used to be sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, and google isn't much help) [17:25] <[j-2]> _Vi_: sry [17:25] how can i make this work?? Bus 005 Device 003: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam [17:26] <_Vi_> j-2 do you see your drive listed on that drop down box on the top right of gparted? [17:26] <_Vi_> click on that [17:26] hi. I have the bluetooth applet running, and under preferences I've set my computer to visible, but my cellphone can't find it. [17:26] modnar, what gpu are you on and how do you try to install the driver? [17:26] <[j-2]> _Vi_: nope, not anymore.. [17:26] <[j-2]> _Vi_: i've formated the drive about 6-8times now.. [17:26] <_Vi_> does it show up if you type 'cfdisk' in a terminal? (no quote marks) [17:26] squid0, are you on a laptop that has a shared button for wireless and bluetooth? [17:27] <[j-2]> _Vi_: i've triwed cfdisk/fdisk.. nothing [17:27] <_Vi_> O.o [17:27] jim_p: yes, and they're enabled [17:27] 8600m gt, installed with apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia settings from the third party intrepid repos [17:27] squid0, do you also use the wireless now? [17:27] jim_p: yes [17:27] <_Vi_> j-2 is it a USB drive? [17:28] I will go re-install everything then, thanks for the help. [17:28] [j-2]: do the following: unplug the drive, wait some seconds, plug it back in, and then put the output of the dmesg command onto a nopaste service [17:28] <[j-2]> _Vi_: yes [17:28] squid0, its network manager messing things up. stop it and try using bluetooth again. if it does work, remove network manager and have some other app to manage the wireless [17:28] mgolisch: you have to pay for VMware dont you? [17:28] <[j-2]> mgolisch: i've done that about 10times ;) [17:28] mgolisch: rephrase, you are supposed to pay for VMware, right? [17:28] pyro2927, not for the server and the player edition [17:29] <_Vi_> j-2 OMG mgolisch just beat me to it [17:29] <_Vi_> mgolisch: :P [17:29] <[j-2]> can i paste directly to the chan ? [17:29] jim_p: ok, thanks. any suggestions for an alternative to networkManager? especially something that will manage wifi connections well? [17:29] jim_p: if i have the player, can i just torrent a VM? will it allow me to setup the user account? [17:29] <_Vi_> no [17:29] <_Vi_> dont paste here [17:29] <[j-2]> msg?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [17:31] pyro2927: easiest would be virtualbox, maybe they fixed those usb problems, maybe have a look at their website too [17:31] <_Vi_> !who | j-2 [17:31] j-2: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[18:05] IkimashoZ, no, looke, you should have a xorg.conf like this: [18:05] http://www.geocities.com/randomnumbergenerator2001/xorg.conf.breezy.txt [18:05] Javache, gparted, period! [18:05] also will the ubuntu installer just use the empty space on my drive?

[18:07] THANKS GUYS I must have not seen you say it before [18:08] Javache: Ext3 is pretty much the standard.. unless you want/need other features.. for desktop use and starting out stick with ext3 [18:08] unused_bagels: Are you plugged into a router?

I did, however, have firewall problems, so I'm going to try it. [18:09] unused_bagels: your router configuration is completely independent of the OS you run. [18:09] broSand: plug it in and see if it's autodiscovered and accessable.. if it's not then it's probably MTP and Jaunty might fix that issue once out. [18:10] hi, my pc when loading stoped at busybox. i red that its something like shell when something goes really wrong and wanted to know if i can read somewhere error report on what went wrong? [18:10] tritium: what are you implying, then?

[18:11] Dmole: You can't make a private key from a public. You create them in sets, private and public. [18:11] The problem is I am in on old Debian right now [18:11] tritium are you sure? because I've done port forwarding numerous times before I came to linux, and now that I switched, it doesn't work. this makes me think that it's an OS isse. [18:11] unused_bagels: does sudo iptables --list, actualy list any rules? [18:11] any more tips for running xubuntu faster? [18:12] unused_bagels: and does sudo ufw status say its loaded? [18:12] unused_bagels: yes, I'm positive [18:12] paul68: try a different window manager ? [18:12] Some one can tall me how to find my RAID controller ? [18:12] NoRaid, you'd probably want to look at lspci and lshw to see what controller it is [18:12] johan12, compile your kernel, buy more RAM ;-) [18:12] Dmole: please explain? [18:12] unused_bagels: it's not an OS issue. I'm using port-forwarding right now, and have for some time. There is no firewall configuration required. [18:12] avis, hmmm i dont see any text in it with RIAD [18:12] thought 1gb was enough [18:12] broSand: so a public key is useless ? [18:12] aarkerio: kk, so I should change xorg.conf back to the way it was?? [18:12] with vesa? [18:12] tritium, then what do you think my problem is? I'm going nuts over here.

[19:46] temppy: i thought as much :) [19:46] bazhang: one more, how can i crate ISO and install it or write CD from ISO [19:46] things like that are blocked, I have full access to my laptop etc, but firewall blocks remote assistance and that stuff. (uni laptop) [19:46] has anyone here managed to handle large windows that you cannot see the bottom of on a narrow screen? [19:46] Rencx, you want to create a custom iso? [19:47] Lasivian, alt left click [19:47] Guest19819: ok lemme know can we try or not [19:47] I've found something on the internet, let me try it and I'll come back on after to tell u if it works or not [19:47] Guest19819:ok [19:47] bazhang: that still won't let me move it off the top of the screen [19:47] franki^: first, you need to edit /etc/hosts to add an entry with your new hostname (you should see your old hostname. Leave it, but make a copy, and edit with the new name. So, you should have to entries) Now, you can edit /etc/hostname to the new name (and you can now delete the old entry in /etc/hosts) [19:48] bazhang: ahh, nevermind [19:48] Lasivian, you need to grab and move, there should be a small hand visisble [19:48] I was clicking on the taskbar [19:48] bazhang: if you do it anywhere but the taskbar you can move it off the top, thanks [19:48] Who here knew that Ctrl+Alt++ means zoom in on the desktop? [19:48] I do [19:49] bazhang or iso from cd.. [19:49] MindVirus: It doesn't work here though heh [19:49] Rencx, k9copy [19:49] temppy: thanks, i'll try that now [19:49] Okay, this has gone too far now... in Intrepid, I still cannot burn DVD's. CD's burn just fine, but DVD's just will not burn, at all, whatsoever. Is there a fix for this yet? [19:49] if I want to upgrade the boot drive in my system, how should I copy the entire drive (grub and all) to the new disk? [19:50] Gnea, what app [19:50] bazhang: k3b [19:50] Gnea: please give more details, as it already works. [19:50] I installed intrepid to dual boot w/ vista, and I just noticed today that there's not a grub option for vista. Is there a tool to detect this for me, or do I have to edit menu.lst myself? [19:50] Gnea, data dvd or other [19:50] !grub | petafile [19:50] petafile: 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 [19:50] petafile, first link [19:50] savvas: seem like the input does not work at all [19:51] savvas: not front, not back [19:51] savvas: i had a usb headset but the mic broke, so i got an analog headset. atleast the usb headset worked until it broke.. [19:51] hello all [19:51] bazhang, tritium: this is what happens when I plug the device into the USB port with a blank disk in it.. the same errors occur whether it's inserted or not: http://pastebin.com/d1481552a [19:52] Lasivian, move home to another partition or dd the install to a new drive? [19:52] bazhang: move, I want to clone the boot drive entirely [19:52] !clone [19:52] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:52] Heliodor: how about in Sound you set first three Pulseaudio and the fourth option as HDA intel (but ALSA)? [19:53] i am having trouble, With my wireless coneccion .... I went to a page ,, and downloaded a tar for my wireless card ... i am trying to un-tar it ... but cant get it .... dont realy know how ... i falow the dereccions but cant get it. [19:53] any help here ...??? [19:53] It's a ACER 5315 [19:53] Heliodor: then log out and log back in, maybe that one works [19:53] Lasivian, one other option not in the wiki is clonezilla [19:53] TecnicoDPC, what chipset [19:53] bazhang: tritium: and, this is what happens when k3b tries to detect that there's a blank DVDR in the drive: http://pastebin.com/d5dc07499 [19:54] tritium: It works just fine with Hardy, but I'm trying to avoid reinstalling. [19:54] i used latex but got stucked in it means i am not able to come out of it ctrl+c does not work how to come out of it without closing the terminal [19:54] bazhang: rsync will copy all the files, right? I was thinking that and making the new disk bootable would be all i'd need [19:54] bazhang is there linux program who can do all together so write iso read iso install iso and burn iso? [19:55] bazhang: none of those seem to answer my question. I CAN boot to ubuntu, but not vista. I mount my ntfs partition in ubuntu, so I know the partition is OK [19:55] Rencx, in that order? [19:55] Rencx: go ask Nero to write a version for Linux ;) [19:55] Also, I use fakeraid which wasn't addressed in those g uides [19:55] bazhang yah thet will be nice :) [19:55] petafile, you need to fix grub as in that link [19:55] i used latex but got stucked in it means i am not able to come out of it ctrl+c does not work how to come out of it without closing the terminal [19:55] please answer my question [19:55] bazhang, tritium: I have tried booting with all_generic_ide=1 to no avail [19:55] dinesh372: you didn't ask one [19:55] !ask dinesh372 [19:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask dinesh372 [19:56] dinesh372: patience, you're getting what you pay for here :) [19:56] savvas: Now its working!! :) [19:56] petafile, why cant you boot to vista i just came on [19:56] Rencx, what sort of iso? a linux distro (ie ubuntu)? [19:56] dinesh372, at the "?" prompt, print "s" and (s = silently go on all errors) [19:56] what is altex [19:56] latex [19:57] savvas: i had "headset" checked in, probably was the problem there [19:57] amanu: professional typesetting software [19:57] Pirate_Hunter, it's not listed in grub [19:57] tritium: to learn typing? [19:57] amanu: most universities use it for typesetting dissertations, and many published books are typeset with it. [19:57] :) [19:57] Damnit... why is my screen name soundconjure1 [19:57] amanu: no, no. Not a typing tutor. Typesetting. [19:57] It should be soundconjurer [19:57] petafile, ok cant you recreate grub again there are plenty of tuts online on how to do it otherwise your looking into editing grub yourself [19:58] tritium: typeset means? [19:58] amanu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typesetting [19:58] savvas: Bah... now i have stuttering sound on the SIP phone twinkle instead! [19:58] Heliodor: with Alsa? [19:58] savvas: The horror never end! [19:58] bazhang any like school cd is or some program [19:58] lol [19:59] Rencx, one program? no [19:59] savvas: no, i thinks its the sip thats the problem now [19:59] Rencx, you can use a combo of programs though [19:59] do i have to rename a file with mv or will it act like cut in windows? [19:59] amanu: nothing typsets mathematics better than LaTeX. [19:59] Does anybody know anything about sql-ledger? [19:59] bazhang: but in the end it will be posoble? [19:59] ok [19:59] Rencx, should be yes [20:00] Gnea: I've looked at them, but don't know what to suggest. [20:00] bazhang is it hard to write cd? [20:00] Gnea: is the DVD media good? [20:00] enzotib: thanks [20:00] Gnea, does this occur with non k3b apps [20:00] Gnea, ie the built in gnome cd/dvd creator [20:00] Heliodor: try with the test sip: sip:500@ekiga.net [20:00] Rencx, no quite easy [20:00] savvas: ekiga works, but the sound is terribly low [20:01] ive seen many having the same problem, [20:01] tritium: yeah it's Sony [20:01] Rencx, with iso, right click open with cd/dvd creator in Gnome [20:01] bazhang: I'll give it a shot.. [20:01] Heliodor: I have Mic Boost in my volume control [20:01] savvas: ists only my incoming sound that stutters oddly, outgoing sounds just fine with twinkle [20:01] savvas: i have mic boost to [20:01] Gnea, may also have to fiddle the settings in k3b iirc [20:01] enzotib: is ctrl+c is same as typing ? [20:02] when i try to install ubuntu the screen enver progresses past the first screen and slowly reads the cd [20:02] any ideas? [20:02] how do i gain permission to a newly created & mounted partition through cli? [20:02] Heliodor: close ekiga, skype or any application that uses input/output sound [20:02] joeyjones, does it reach the desktop or hit busybox [20:02] savvas: already tried that [20:02] when I press ctrl+Q nothing happens [20:02] enzotib : i think there are very few peoples online so i should try tommorrow [20:02] dinesh372, i don't understand your question [20:02] bazhang: nope [20:03] it sjut ahngs at the cd's first screen [20:03] *just [20:03] Heliodor: head to the Sound in preferences and test them out without running any of the above applications [20:03] joeyjones, nope to which half of that question [20:03] enzotib: actually when i press ctrl+c i got the same effect as byping ? [20:03] some can gmme a command to install skype [20:03] !skype [20:04] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [20:04] amanu: www.medibuntu.org [20:04] bazhang: HRM. [20:04] amanu, see link above [20:04] dinesh372, i don't know, i think simply the corresponding signal is catched and ignored [20:04] bazhang: it only gets to the first screen with the options to run, install, check cd, check ram, or boot from hdd. [20:04] savvas: test what out? [20:04] enzotib: left that question [20:04] ok [20:04] any 1 know how 2 solve this error this will come on ubuntu 8.10"CHAP authentication failed" [20:04] Heliodor: the last two options (audio conferencing) [20:04] joeyjones, then hangs there? or does it respond and let you reach desktop environment [20:05] bazhang: it hangs there [20:05] savvas: you mean use the test button? === PhilTar is now known as philtar [20:05] how do i gain permission to a newly created & mounted partition through command line? [20:05] using an 8.10 cd burnt a few hours ago [20:06] joeyjones, did you try any boot parameters such as removing quiet and splash from the kernel you are booting; you may also want to try the alternate cd if the problem persists [20:06] !alternate | joeyjones [20:06] joeyjones: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [20:06] Heliodor: yes! [20:06] savvas: does not work [20:06] joeyjones, did you md5 the iso as well [20:06] Heliodor: does it pop up an error? [20:06] !md5 [20:06] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:07] savvas: yes [20:07] bazhang: the gnome creator *worked* [20:07] tech: which verssion of ubuntu r u using? [20:07] Gnea, okay so it is k3b [20:07] Gnea, either the settings or a bug [20:07] savvas: could not open it for recording [20:07] bazhang: yup. i'm gonna see what's up with that. [20:07] Heliodor: ok, what's the Sound playback set as? [20:07] alsa [20:07] amanu:ubuntu 8.10 [20:08] savvas: i tried setting it to OSS and i got a LOUD beep sound in the headphones [20:08] Gnea, do you have k3b set to verify or not? I found with verify it would sometimes choke [20:08] ok after that can u log on n use ubuntu as usual? [20:08] besides error? [20:08] amanu, please take the time to spell you [20:09] Heliodor: ok, but what about Sound recording then? [20:09] ok [20:09] Heliodor: sorry, Sound capture [20:09] would anyone be as kind as to talk me through some GRUB problems? [20:09] savvas: nothing happens but the test runs [20:09] amanu: in my windows net will work but not in my new ubuntu [20:09] bazhang: mean to type be fully besides shotr hand? [20:09] temppy: that worked great, thanks :) [20:10] tech: which type of connection you have?

[20:12] amanu:no i think dsl connection will work [20:12] Heliodor: note them down somewhere, so you know what settings you're using in the future [20:12] yes offcourse you need to set up your user name and password there?

[20:14] how do I add grub to a secondary disc? [20:14] bazhang, will read it [20:15] amanu: ya i tried but same error coming [20:15] bazhang: specifically, when k3b is running, and a blank is inserted, it detects it and says 'Empty DVD-R Medium.' for about 5 seconds, then 'forgets' that it's there, going back to 'No Medium Present.' The kernel proceeds to also forget that it's there and re-scans the device, finding the DVD-R again, finding the disk, keeping it at 'Empty DVD-R Medium.', only to NOT have it show up when clicking on an ISO before, during, and after the md5sum is generated. I [20:15] ok try sudo pppoeconf [20:15] savvas: ekiga is terribly slow, it takes about 10 secs until i hear en other site talk [20:15] tech: in terminal [20:15] bazhang: I'm beginning to think that it's a kde issue [20:15] amanu: ya [20:16] amanu: i also hav man from help ubuntu [20:16] Gnea, that is odd, perhaps launchpad has more on that (suspect its k3b issue) [20:16] Gnea, I dont use k3b largely because of many issues with it in the past [20:16] tech:ok [20:16] bazhang: up until intrepid, k3b has always been 100% reliable [20:17] Gnea, I stopped using it in Gutsy so no idea sorry [20:17] Heliodor: you might have better results with skype [20:17] hi does anyone know how I can specify an apn for my 3g modem? I used pppconfig to configure it - no apn specified upon configuration tho [20:18] savvas: but skype dont work with sip [20:18] amanu: actually i buy amd x4 & motherboard gigabite 780g so if there no need 2 install lan driver ? [20:18] Heliodor: also be a bit patient, there's a new much improved version of ekiga, I think it will be in ubuntu's next release [20:19] tech: offcourse i believe need not to install any drivers in linux [20:19] savvas: Any pre-build of it? === K-Dogg07 is now known as CosculluelaPR [20:20] bazhang: that's okay, thanks for the suggestion, as it worked, I at least have an excuse not to reinstall now :) === john is now known as Guest51904 [20:20] is there an equivalent to internet explorer for firefox?

[22:03] :P [22:03] iJoh, Here is mine for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/108390/ [22:03] kon: Never been in love? [22:03] ok i wont steer off topic again. sorry. [22:03] hatter243: works!! i can ping google... [22:03] Heh :-D [22:03] yeah, sorry [22:03] hikeractive: .local/share/applications/defaults.list might have what you're looking for [22:03] Ofcourse, im married ;) [22:03] k, brb [22:04] Oh no, i just received an error on the install :( [22:04] ziggles1, okay, I can understand desiring static IP addresses, but what were you doing with that bridged stuff? Is that required? [22:04] hikeractive: in your home folder that is, forgot to add that [22:04] jack_sparrow... that's a lot of partitions o.O [22:04] hatter243: i accidently rebooted my router though.... i wonder if the prob was on the router side... u think it's worth it to set all those bridges back and try again? [22:04] I have a dual-boot system with ubuntu 8.10 and vista. Now vista started to show the ubuntu partitions asunformatted drives, offering to format them if I click on them.. Can I prevent this? [22:04] iJoh, A bit of everything in there [22:04] hatter243: the bridged stuff is because i have VMs running on this server... and i have eth0 dedicated to the www VM and the other nic is for all the others [22:04] The error says: "the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 os scsi3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed." [22:04] lorenzosu, yes.. ext2fs driver for windows [22:04] eth1 = other nic [22:04] Any idea what that means? [22:05] ziggles1, well... if that's what your end goal is then you might as well try turning it all back on... Ah! [22:05] thanks drash [22:05] !ext2fs [22:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2fs [22:05] Jack_Sparrow: I tried that and set drive letters but no luck :( [22:05] <_Vi_> !info ext2fs [22:05] Package ext2fs does not exist in intrepid [22:05] <_Vi_> O.o [22:05] "/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user 0 0" I think now... how can I see if that will work? [22:05] Hi. How do I mount my ntfs partition in a way, so that I can edit files on it, without using sudo? [22:05] hatter243: it is my end goal, but this is great that i can ping by putting everything back to normal.... i was certian that i tried that earlier this morning and it iddnt work. [22:06] velle: you have to use sudo [22:06] ziggles1, if you turn all that back on and it works, great! If not, I'm afraid you're going to have to look into it more yourself, that bridged stuff is outside my knowledge. [22:06] I would be fine with Vista just "not seeing" those partiotions (as in XP) [22:06] iJoh: you might consider using ntfs-3g as option.. [22:06] hatter243: will do, again thank you so much for the help and taking time ot make a pastie etc. [22:06] velle: sudo mount /dev/sdLN -t ntfs-3g /mount/point [22:06] really appreciate it [22:06] ziggles1, hey no worries, good luck! [22:07] what's 3g? [22:07] wah [22:07] I'm having issues with FPS's, my mouse keeps leaving the window. I tried getting the window to grab the mouse, so it doesn't leave, but that hasn't worked. I saw an application but can't find it again that can restrict the movement of the mouse, does anyone know it? [22:07] XD [22:07] !ntfs-3g [22:07] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:07] I see [22:07] cellofellow: Maybe I need to use sudo to do the mounting, but then I want to be able to edit files on the partition, without using sudo [22:07] want to report a bug : haven't list of users in a panel in X-Chat gnome [22:07] i click on subimit bug [22:07] velle: ah, yes [22:07] velle: just a sec [22:07] and it just sends data without asking me nothing [22:07] hey all i updated my computers motherboard bios and now linux works but windows wont start (it was the oppsite before) i get a blue screen then a restart like i added to much hardware to windows what could have possible happened when i updated my bios? [22:08] like when I plug in an external hd, also formatted in ntfs, my user can edit files on it [22:08] without sudo [22:08] velle: you want it to automatically mount when you start the computer or is this just a one-time thing? [22:09] it is a one time thing [22:10] velle: checked my fstab, and looks like you want uid=007 and gid=46 (plugdev I think). [22:11] velle: that's umask=007 [22:12] anyone know what this error means? [22:12] the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 os scsi3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. [22:12] it gave me this error on the install [22:12] install of ubuntu 8.10 on macbook pro [22:13] hola [22:14] Hello. What are my options for getting the songs off my iPod?

[22:16] heya all:) [22:17] I don't like to spam people channels with addys [22:17] WDC: gpodder (does syncing and more) and gtkpod are possible options .. websearch to get their specific feature set and enjoy [22:17] Decepticon: u wanna know how much ram u have? cat /proc/meminfo [22:17] [22:17] kon: It's for mac.. [22:17] is there a way to force users to mount nfs (like netlogon with cifs/smb)? [22:17] kon: can u PM it to me please? [22:17] ziggles1: it's for mac [22:17] ok ziggles1 [22:17] oh [22:18] My friend is having trouble getting internet on his laptop [22:18] Oh crap, it IS for man :( [22:18] cellofellow: Thanks, that works. So what does it mean, I say that the mounted partition belongs to group 46, and gives that group the rights 100? [22:19] luke_ -> you have to describe what you two have done to troubleshoot [22:19] He Installed ndiswrapper but it isn't detecting his wireless card [22:19] adios === Yvonne_ is now known as Yvonne [22:20] whats the best file system to use for a partitioned hard drive install on a macbook pro ? [22:20] luke_ -> which chips does the wifi card have? [22:20] What's the code you put in terminal to check [22:20] drash: gpodder doesn't do syncing [22:20] how much ram i got, how much is used? Mem:971M used:316M buffers:13M cache:628Swp:509M used:521576k [22:20] what it means all this [22:20] weirdness.. I just downloaded the Picasa deb to my freshly installed and updated 8.10 system. the deb saved to the desktop but is not visible unless I open nautilus and navagate to Desktop.. Why is that? [22:21] What package do i install for ncurses? [22:21] !ncurses [22:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about ncurses [22:21] worth a shot [22:21] opps, i meant rights 007 [22:21] Decepticon, you have: Mem:971M and you are using used:316M [22:21] donnie: try refreshing your desktop [22:21] Vantrax|Work what are all the other useless numbers then [22:21] Gerinych, F5? nothing.. right mouse click.. nothing [22:21] Decepticon, ram used as swap file, cached ram, and buffers [22:22] Vantrax|Work then what is bugger and cache and swp and used [22:22] n8tuser, how do I figure out what card he has [22:22] so how much total ram did i use out of 971 [22:22] *buffer [22:22] DVA5912, libncurses5 I believe [22:22] Gerinych, I should be able to right mouse click on the desktop and "create a folder" but I get no submenu [22:22] luke_ -> sudo lshw -C network [22:22] anyone? is there a way to force users to mount nfs (like netlogon with cifs/smb)? [22:22] I just upgraded my nvidia drivers to the 180-series from the repos and when activating compiz I get a so much shadowing/artefacts that it's even funny. Anyone else experienced this? [22:22] hatter243: OK trying [22:22] My intrepid machine has started rendering Helvetica and Lucida fonts, which it was not doing before. These fonts look unpleasantly bitty and not anti-aliased. I think this started happening when I installed an (unrelated) ttf package. Is there any way I can fix it? [22:22] donnie: hmm... [22:23] Decepticon, Your using a total of 521mb of your 1gb including swap space (which is only uses ram if the ram isnt needed) [22:23] DeepThoughts, did you uninstall all other nvidia references in synaptic before installing the 180.xx driver? [22:23] Vantrax|Work how to calculate this on my own? [22:23] Vantrax|Work, what is inside the 521mb? its the 316mb it said earlier plus what? [22:23] hatter243: apperently it is already installed... wierd because the tutorial i have specifies this echo "^[[0;31;40mIn Color" as a working code [22:23] Deception, The last number is your total useage [22:23] Hey I have two NTFS partitions I don't care about anymore, what program can I use to make them ext3? [22:24] quit [22:24] Decepticon, used:521576k [22:24] WDC cfdisk, sfdisk, fdisk [22:24] Vantrax|Work isnt that talking about swap [22:24] n8tuser: Anything with a GUI? I've had bad experience with CLI and partitions [22:24] Hello. How do I know what video driver my X is using? [22:24] WDC: gtkpod does you're correct, gpodder is for podcasts [22:24] so can anyone tell me why the package repositories are running so slow? [22:24] WDI behind a gui are command line, so get used to it [22:25] drash: Thanks [22:25] Vantrax|Work or is that talking about ram_used+swap_used or what is this number i dont understand, i just want to know TOTAL_RAM_USED/TOTAL_RAM_AVAIALABLE [22:25] how do you enable the extra option in visual effects? [22:25] at least us and archive are. [22:25] vdepizzol: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:25] WDC behind a gui are command line, so get used to it [22:25] n8tuser: I'm asking for something like GParted after the install [22:25] Gerinych, even if I go to the Applications menu and choose any program listed, right mouse click, "Add to Desktop" ... it does but it's only visible if I'm in nautilus looking at desktop.. otherwise it's not visible.. [22:25] are there any disk imaging on the ubuntu live boot cd? [22:25] says "the composite extension is not available" [22:25] WDC -> try gparted then, [22:25] ezerhoden: actually xorg.conf doesn't shows any driver information [22:25] Decepticon: that's the first two lines of /proc/meminfo [22:25] WDC: http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html has the complete feature set [22:25] n8tuser: What do ya know. I'm sorry, I thought it was a LiveCD thing [22:26] Hi all, i am trying to connect my laptop (Fujitsu amilo pi 1505 with ubuntu 8.04) to my full hd tv (1080 p)with a vga cable. I have connected with succes a projector but this time the pc detect the screen and the tv gets no signal... Any tips? [22:26] donnie: it might be possible youre logged in as root or some other user [22:26] Decepticon, In linux Ram is used as both swap and ram. The total used for both was used:521576k, the total used by applications is 316mb [22:26] vdepizzol: then i have no idea, probably vesa or something simple [22:26] Gerinych, fresh install.. user name shows up by the clock.. so not a root account.. [22:26] Vantrax|Work ok i see [22:26] WDC nope, if the tools are in your install, used it, if not download and install [22:26] Vantrax|Work so i used 521mb out of 971mb [22:26] Decepticon: but Linux has a pretty awesome mem management, keeping lots of pages in mem for filesystem cache. So it's intended behaviour that a lot of ram is "in use" (buffered) [22:27] donnie: Not really, apt-get told it would uninstall the glx and kernel package for the 177-driver. Though I just checked and the only non 180-stuff I could find was modaliases [22:27] I am somewhat confused when I start up. First thing is the Firestarter firewall always says it is stopping because something is wrong with eth1, but later on it starts up again. Any way to not have it fail the first time? Or is that typical? [22:28] donnie, I forget the name, but gnome uses a process to control the physical desktop... it's probably just hung or never started [22:28] DeepThoughts, when you installed did you do it from a different tty after shutting down gdm? [22:28] hatter243, so maybe a restart? [22:28] ac13 it happens all the time for you? [22:28] n8tuser: I believe so [22:29] how to unzip [22:29] donnie, if you don't have anything running presently, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will restart X and do the trick... It will close all open programs though [22:29] how to unzip in cli [22:29] donnie: No that I didn't. I did it from within Gnome and then rebooted. [22:29] Decepticon: type "unzip" [22:29] n8tuser: it gives me some messages about eth1: ----- not quite sure what it says but it says that Firestarter is stopping... [22:29] hatter243, although... it's a great way to keep the visible desktop clear :) [22:29] donnie, it's true! [22:29] ac13 -> did you somehow change the sequence of modules running at boot time? you dont want the firewall up until you have ethernet working [22:30] ac13: check dmesg [22:30] DeepThoughts, that might be your issue.. when installing you are suppose to totally shutdown gdm from a different tty and then install. afterwards start gdm backup again.. you might have to uninstall/reinstall the correct way to fix the issue. [22:30] ezerhoden: I type dmesg into command line and it spews a bunch of stuff. anything to look for? [22:31] Hi [22:31] n8tuser: I don't know how to change the module sequence... [22:31] Anyone here dual booted Feisty & Hardy or something similar? [22:31] ac13 -> how many nic cards do you have? is this a new install? [22:31] hello guys, does anyone know how to open a pwi file on ubuntu? [22:31] Networking question: Are you allowed to have eth0 and eth1 on the same network? [22:31] n8tuser: not a new install. I just have 1 ethernet port (and a wireless card) [22:32] I'm trying to allow other local users access to my main user's pulseaudio server, if i chmod 666 /tmp/pulse-jack/native it works, but next pulse restart it resets to its default permissions of 600, is there anywhere i can tell pulse what permissions to use for its socket [22:32] n8tuser: I mean firestarter says that it starts up later adn I'm pretty sure that it works, but I am just confused about why it would fail in the beginning [22:32] ziggles -> no one is going to stop you, but you just have to know how to use them both [22:32] ziggles1: yes but it confuses the hell out of the kernel [22:32] How do I get into a folder through terminal? [22:32] Hello [22:32] kitche: how so? [22:32] donnie: It was along time ago since I installed video-drivers so I forgot that you might have to do that. Would apt-get purge suffice? [22:32] ac13 -> can you turn off firestarter for now and see if it reboots okay? [22:32] ziggles1: routing gets confused sometimes unless you tell it specificly [22:33] is there some one that can help me with this error i keep getting on the install of ubuntu ? [22:33] n8tuser, how do I get into a folder through terminal [22:33] n8tuser: okay, thanks I will try that [22:33] luke_: you mean like with 'cd'? [22:33] luke_ -> cd [22:33] can someone tell me what their sudo gedit /etc/pam.d/common-auth file is? i edit mine and forgot to back up [22:33] so type cd and then folder name? [22:33] i want to remove the fingerprint reader [22:33] how can i get dpkg to recognize stuff that ive compiled ? [22:34] luke_: yep. also check out 'man cd' if you want to have more details [22:34] or send me their file? [22:34] plz [22:34] Trying to get ncurses to work wth code::blocks. Anyone sucessful? [22:34] luke_: also 'cd ..' to go up a folder [22:34] ziggles -> you can manage to have them both on same network, you just have to configure the route table correctly [22:34] kitche: ah i see... man! i think this might be the problem im having... basically i have bridged two networks to eth0 and eth1 but they are on the same network [22:34] cd desktop doesnt do anything [22:34] hello guys, does anyone know how to open a pwi file on ubuntu? [22:34] n8tuser: what should i google to learn how to set that up? [22:34] sudo gedit /etc/pam.d/common-auth and msg me what the fine says plz [22:35] i'm using 8.10 [22:35] yggwork: get the checkinstall package and use sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make as your last build step [22:35] ziggles -> 1st is dont do what you did, bridging on same network, you are creating an infinitte loop [22:35] jscinoz: maybe add the chmod command to the /etc/init.d/pulseaudio script? [22:35] has anyone here done any of the Comptia A+, N+ computer courses? Is there another channel I should look in? [22:35] I typed in cd desktop and it doesn't go to desktop [22:35] So how do I do it? [22:35] ahh thanks drash [22:35] luke_, cd ~/Desktop [22:35] oCean_, but i'm not running pulse system wide, im running it per user. [22:35] I just moved my computer across the room, and now all my usb drives don't show up. I have tried [22:35] luke_: remember unix/linux is case sensitive [22:35] luke_ -> are you sure it is desktop not Desktop? case sensitive [22:35] n8tuser: i dont think its an infinite loop... http://pastie.org/368169 [22:35] actually that might be a better idea to run it system wide, thanks [22:35] yggwork: you're welcome, it's quite a nice tool [22:36] ziggles -> you have done a drawing? i asked for it earlier.. [22:36] n8tuser: I'm sorry, i have not [22:36] drash will you be around to ask a few questions if i need them ? [22:36] n8tuser: ill throw one together real quick [22:36] ziggles -> then please do [22:37] yggwork: for another hour or so yes [22:37] drash i think you mean use sudo checkinstall instead of suod make install ? [22:37] yggwork: correct [22:37] ok then [22:37] pluging them i other sockets and i get nothing... the computer knows they are there, but the os dosent [22:37] make: *** No rule to make target `checkinstall'. Stop. [22:37] ZING: 3 lines, 1.) auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure 2.)auth requisite pam_deny.so 3.) auth required pam_permit.so [22:37] * jscinoz wishes he understood how sockets work, are they just like a FIFO? [22:37] yggwork: take a quick peek at the man page after installing it, it's all explained really :) [22:38] ahh k [22:38] Can any one help? [22:38] BirdManJonathan: typing "dmesg" should list notifications of usb devices being removed and added from the os [22:38] ubuntu backup [22:39] yggwork: i wasn't clear i suppose, checkinstall is a package that has to be on your system, sudo apt-get install checkinstall first [22:39] drash i did [22:39] were to type this/ [22:39] !backup | Infal [22:39] Infal: 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 [22:39] I can't seem to send email through gmail's smtp server. How could I debug this process? I don't know why it won't establish a connection. [22:39] BirdManJonathan: open a terminal and type command... [22:40] thanks brb [22:40] hey hey ^ [22:40] yggwork: make didn't throw up any errors did it ? if so checkinstall won't work, just as sudo make install would bail out [22:40] <_Vi_> alcohol: you have to tell the client to open port 587, assuming you're refering to thunderbird? [22:40] drash i just did make uninstall maybe i have to start from scracth [22:40] trying it. [22:40] yggwork: good idea yes [22:40] A tricky question, is there any apache-portable out there? [22:41] command not found [22:41] I tried both default and that port (and yes, I am using thunderbird). [22:41] BirdManJonathan: "dmesg" command not found?? [22:41] <_Vi_> alcohol: you behind a router/firewall? [22:41] hi guys can someone help me, here is my desktop http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/5111/screenshotbg5.png you see all the temp meters can I get em in conky how? [22:41] im new to linux/ubuntu. and i wonder, after i have uninstalled a package. how do i know that all the files is removed? [22:41] _Vi_: nope, it used to work under win xp. ): [22:41] Hi guys. I've just installed Wine on 8.10, and then installed Spotify... although for some reason, the internet sing-in doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts? [22:41] _Vi_: does ubuntu come with a firewall? [22:42] <_Vi_> alcohol: that's odd ive never had issues with that [22:42] not found, becouse i miss typed sorry [22:42] guess my quarter is up :( [22:42] I can ping it fine. So it's not a dns issue. [22:42] Thanks anyways, i'll google and see if i can find some help. [22:42] Peace [22:42] alcohol: getting any errors? [22:42] Nope. Just shows the connecting dialog for a -long- time. [22:42] anyone successfully use stickam.com? [22:43] <_Vi_> alcohol: all linux's have a built-in firewall, but unless you specifically set something, it should be open [22:43] !.bashsrc | kurrata [22:43] what am i looking for, in this mile long list? [22:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about bashsrc [22:43] <_Vi_> !firewall | alcohol [22:43] alcohol: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [22:43] !.bashrc | kurrata [22:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about bashrc === iTroll is now known as Guest44600 [22:43] hi guys! acer aspire one user here. installed interpid. wifi was not working but i fixed it from a tutorial. then updated ubuntu packages and now wifi does not work again. any ideas on a fix? [22:44] i can only connect to wireless networks without a password. [22:44] where are my in-use system icons stored? [22:44] like, the tango theme [22:44] i can't view videos in fullscreen on some sites such as vimeo (i think they use avi). [22:44] I want to be able to move files out of a folder, but not be able to move the folder. Is that possible with linux file permissions? [22:44] oCean_: what in this am i looking for? [22:44] RaverWild: i take it the first fix doesn't do it twice ? [22:44] iJoh: the actual files? the same place as not-in-use system icons. [22:45] hi, does ubuntu terminal uses .bashrc file for its "hotkeys". I have been changing it little bit but it dosnt seem it affects the terminal... [22:45] RaverWild: install the wifi driver again [22:45] n8tuser: what should this drawing have? i mean the network essentially has 1 router connected to 1 host that has 2 nics [22:45] sparr, where is that? ^^ [22:45] probably /usr/share/icons [22:45] anyone know how to fix sound delay? it happens everywhere, even in pidgin. [22:45] what's an easy way to test if my wine install is working with internet properly? [22:46] if you want to know for sure, do a dpkg -L on the tango icons pacakge [22:46] anyone using Opera here? [22:46] ziggles -> no other switches or hubs in between? [22:46] _Vi_: it gives me an error now. Server failed. Unavailable or refusing connections. :< [22:46] Su1: i have in the past, but not right now [22:46] has anyone an idea how itś possible that under windows you can download modified drivers for Nvidia and when it comes to Ubuntu you only have closed source drivers ? [22:46] BirdManJonathan: something regarding usb and /dev/sd* devices. I'm not sure why you say the OS is not recognizing the devices. Maybe they're just not mounted yet. Are they usually after reboot? [22:46] sul: i use it occasionally [22:46] n8tuser: nope... its a home lan with basically nothing but a cheap dlink router connected to the net :) [22:46] <_Vi_> alcohol: hmmm install firestarter and see if theres anything being blocked [22:46] ziggles -> anyhow, do not have two nics active on same network lest you know what you're doing [22:47] Thank you [22:47] n8tuser: how do i learn to do it right? [22:47] oCean_: no i try reboot and get none, can you walk me though mounting [22:47] _Vi_: wow, nevermind. Forgive me. I seem to have spelled smtp as smpt. I just didn't notice it ): [22:47] ziggles -> learn networking, use google to search for info [22:47] Hmm... [22:47] <_Vi_> alcohol: lol ok [22:47] Can i do a dd backup of a drive while it is running? [22:47] Anyone know of a CLI mail client thatcan handle multiple accounts, via IMAP, using SSL for connections? [22:47] hi, can someone please help me connect my ubuntu machine to my wireless linksys router, the wireless card seems to be working because it detects wireless networks, but i dont know if im entering the settings correctly [22:48] ok... [22:48] or do i have to go single user mode? [22:48] Heliodor1: you can, but you might have problems restoring it later on [22:48] Gnea: what problems? [22:48] !wireless > glick [22:48] glick, please see my private message [22:48] okay. im curious - how people of subnotebooks (so with small screens) use to navigate large windows? is there something that helps seeing the buttons when a window cant be resized smaller? [22:48] Heliodor1: some things might not sync up right [22:48] BirdManJonathan: it never worked before? The auto mount I mean? [22:48] Can anyone here tell me specifically what to research so i can have two nics on the same network? [22:48] Gnea: so partimage is insecure? [22:48] Heliodor1: if the partition is mounted [22:49] ziggles1: is there much to research? [22:49] Gnea: ah, good to gnow. [22:49] know* [22:49] ziggles1: or you want to use some kind of load balancing? [22:49] it keeps changing the key i enter, into the wireless network settings manager [22:49] Well... so the problem still exists. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I will explain again now that I have watched my comp reboot a couple of times. So when it starts right after it starts basic networking the computer stop firestarter, fails a bit with eth1, then tries to start firestarter, then fails something on eth1 and quits firestarter. Then it boots for a while more and starts firestarter again a bit later but it works this time. Finally when I fin [22:49] ish booting I switched to tty1, and I see that the computer stops ntpd, starts ntpd again, and stops firestarter?!? But if I go to firestarter in System->Administrator it says that it is active. So...? [22:49] !sbackup [22:49] 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 [22:49] oCean_: it work untill i moved the comp across the room, used to work great [22:49] hi, does ubuntu terminal uses .bashrc file for its "alias". I have been changing it little bit but it dosnt seem it affects the terminal... [22:49] <_Vi_> Heliodor1: bit of a warning DO NOT backup to a drive that already has stuff on it, i made that mistake last night :( [22:49] kurrata: you might have to restart terminal [22:49] Heliodor1: it's just common-sense to backup an unmounted partition - i recommend clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org [22:50] kurrata: or open up a new terminal [22:50] _Vi_ : why is that a problem? [22:50] * Deany agrees with Gnea [22:50] !backup | Heliodor1 [22:50] Heliodor1: 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 [22:50] how do i know that the files is deleted from the hd after removing a package ? [22:50] http://omploader.org/vMTV3Mw/screenshot.png << anyone know why my music scroller on the top left doesn't work? [22:50] Heliodor1: of course, there are other methods :) [22:50] <_Vi_> Heliodor1: it erased everything on my external HDD :( [22:50] why does my key keep changing from the one I put in [22:50] ? [22:50] Gnea: Any good way to do it from the ubuntu live boot? [22:50] BirdManJonathan: If it always worked before, there should be entries for the drive(s) in /etc/fstab file. [22:50] _Vi_Ah. you should have saved it to an image [22:50] <_Vi_> Heliodor1: i know that now :( [22:51] I use clonezilla to do full disk (dual boot) all the time, never let me down [22:51] BirdManJonathan: you are sure that the drives are not there? Type "df" and see which drives you have (currently mounted, that is) [22:51] oCean_: or just type "mount" [22:51] anyone here use banshee? [22:51] clonezilla live boots quicker than ubuntu live, obviously.. 1 more reason.. [22:51] linxeh: sure, or that :) [22:51] ac13: lol, thx it worked i wonder why i didnt think of it ;xD [22:51] Heliodor1: yeah, check out the URLs that ubottu threw at ya - lots of ways [22:51] Deany: Is it a live cd? [22:51] Heliodor1, yup [22:52] Gnea: Thanks!

[22:52] guide is on howtoforge.com if you wanna get familiar with it [22:52] Gnea: fat32 is dead to me, wont touch it :) [22:52] Heliodor1, i always do [22:52] drash: last I used mutt, you had to have seperate setups for each account, and ssl was kind of a pain [22:52] Deany: Super :) [22:52] drash: but since that's the only suggestion thus far, I can always try again [22:52] yggwork: you proceed as usual with both configure and make steps, and finish with sudo checkinstall .. [22:52] I just finished the beta version of my game :-) Its an old school space shooting game. I need someone to test it cu\ I created a .deb package. Can anyone teste it for me? I need to test it on a "virgin" system to see if any lib is missing. [22:53] Heliodor1: good deal :) [22:53] you either go the savedisk method or saveparts method [22:53] duh ok [22:53] My god!

[23:26] Woet: I'm still waiting for proper single screen configuration [23:26] lol [23:26] Woet: it's never going to happen [23:26] gordonjcp, accessable via ssh for example [23:26] hey :) how can i work out whether "ld" is gcc x86 or gcc arm? [23:26] jimi_hendrix: about the update manager, go to software sources, updates tab and set "show new distribution releases" to never [23:26] boysue: oh yeah, definitely [23:26] bird? [23:26] Can I remove kubuntu? I installed ubuntu and then tried kubuntu, but want to completely remove and get back to pure ubuntu. I have Intrepid Ibex. [23:26] boysue: you'll need openssh-server to let you log in [23:26] perlsyntax usually it's ur cellphone number [23:26] as the username [23:26] ah ok [23:26] perlsyntax: I know nothing about 3g cards [23:27] and password i think is blank (at least it is in verizon [23:27] also can i give more than one user sudo capabilities? [23:27] I'm on a fast wifi connection (~280kb/s). After mounting my remote file system, I can read files and list directories fine. When I try to save a file sshfs stops responding and I have to kill it to recover the frozen applications that are using it (nautilus, scite, etc) [23:27] rather, how can i work out whether the installed "ld" is for X86 or ARM? [23:27] what my cell number? [23:27] Woet: I'm increasingly convinced that Hoary was the best version of Ubuntu, and it's been steadily downhill all the way since then [23:27] you mean [23:27] Hey, no oppinion on docks? === jerry_ is now known as Guest7842 [23:27] Ah, il just use awn. [23:27] Gerinych, where is this? [23:28] Gerinych, in synaptic? [23:28] another quick question, does signal quality effect speed? [23:28] corey__: Is any network activity occuring during the freeze? [23:28] i currently have 48-51% signal quality [23:28] alwas [23:28] jimi_hendrix: no, it's in system>administration>software sources [23:28] i see it [23:28] i mean signal strength [23:28] Nomexous, let me perform a test, just a second. [23:28] Question: I just plugged in a second monitor and powerd on my machine. How do I get ubuntu to detect the 2nd display? nvidia-settings seems to see it as DFP-1, but i have no clue as to how to enable it. [23:29] perlsyntax, do u have a cellphone for AT&T as well [23:29] yes [23:29] ok see it thanks [23:29] i have the iphone [23:29] jimi_hendrix: no problem [23:29] yes i do [23:29] i have a att cell phone [23:30] ok... then try the cellphone number as the username [23:30] what about thepassword [23:30] try to leave it blank [23:32] any luck perlsyntax [23:32] Nomexous, yes it has activity on the network. looks like it actually sent the data. [23:33] anyone know how to fix sound delay? it happens everywhere, even in pidgin. [23:33] is there a way to open a terminal in linux (in gnome) with the keyboard? (i cant see anything)? [23:33] hi [23:33] Gerinych: tried with alsa? pulseaudio? oss? [23:33] nick_[nex]: ctrl+alt+f1 might give you a tty [23:34] corey__: I was going to suggest firing up your connecting with -o sshfs_debug at the end [23:34] nick_[nex]: ctrl+alt+f7 to get back, I think [23:34] corey__: But it doesn't seem to be all that helpful. [23:34] nick_[nex]: oh.. sorry.. just alt+f7.. no control to get back [23:34] Nomexous, and validating the file for changes failed. [23:34] yeah i know how to do that... I just am trying to make my graphics work - and maybe the xrandr command is the one I need? I think it needs to be run in the graphics terminal tt7 though? [23:34] Nomexous, I'll see what I can gather from the debug option. [23:35] corey__: Ah here. Add -f -o sshfs_debug [23:35] corey__: to the end of your command. [23:35] just trying to get into safe graphics, or some form of working graphics - all Im getting is "mode not supported" on my monitor [23:35] slart: i had pulseaudio but I heard that it was kind of causing those problems, so i removed it and never restarted [23:35] Nomexous, I have my mount procedure in fstab, I'll try it in there [23:36] corey__: No, you should do it in a terminal so you can see the output [23:36] perlsyntax, you there? [23:36] Nomexous, will it default to rw privs/users/uid=1000, etc..? [23:36] corey__: I'm not sure. [23:36] then it's not very reliable to do it via cli [23:37] we'll see.. [23:37] corey__: But you can't view debug info if it's mounted from fstab. [23:37] corey__: Just temporarily mount it to an empty folder in your home [23:37] Where can I find the Ibex equivalent of /etc/inittab? [23:38] how can i make apt know that something i compile is installed ? checkinstall isnt working for this particular thing. === the6step|away is now known as the6step === nzeroxX is now known as flashcrash [23:38] !away > the6step [23:38] the6step, please see my private message [23:38] yggwork: Look at the 'equivs' package [23:38] corey__: Put sshfs in foreground debug mode by doing 'sshfs user@ip:/folder /mount/point -f -o sshfs_debug [23:38] equivs huh [23:38] hmm. [23:38] yggwork: you basically mock up a package [23:38] yea [23:38] it looked pretty complicated [23:39] My codecs worked until today when i updated to the newest ffmpeg can anyone help me the problem is with xvid/wmv [23:39] I'd say that's a fair assessment :) [23:39] would it be easier to make a deb file ? [23:40] does signal strength effect wireless networking speed? [23:40] yggwork: Probably not [23:40] boysue: sure [23:40] does anybody use xmonad? [23:40] Nomexous, wow this is not good. it actually emptied the file when I tried saving it. Good thing I had a copy of it open in another editor... [23:40] jrib: sorry I didn't know my client did that [23:40] jrib: have to find out how to shut it off [23:40] sveakex: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [23:41] corey__: Is sshfs spitting output at you? === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278 [23:41] Nomexous, yes I'm performing a save to see what the output is [23:41] How do I modify my "upstart" config? [23:41] There doesn't seem to be any sort of /etc/upstart* [23:41] TML: what do you want to modify? [23:41] jrib: I want to add ttys 7-24 [23:42] corey__: It's not telling me much, but that's probably because my sshfs mount works just fine. [23:42] !upstart | TML [23:42] TML: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:42] Nomexous, it did an LSTAT about 3 or 4 times then stopped. [23:42] TML: the documentation there should cover it. You'll be doing something in /etc/event.d/ [23:42] Nomexous, do you think it's trying to open another port to send data? I did notice it said SFTP when it connected. [23:43] jrib: I've been on upstart.ubuntu.com, just couldn't find my way through the wiki. /etc/event.d is a good lead, thanks. [23:43] corey__: Mine says sftp too, I doubt it's using anything other than the default port. === mike is now known as Guest95358 [23:44] Nomexous, this is a very serious bug that could cause corruption, in my case it did. I'll have to file a bug report but unfortunately my meeting tomorrow can't wait for a bug fix.. I'll have to use something other then sshfs it seems [23:44] corey__: Have you tried a wired connection? I used to do my sshfs mounts over wireless before, and it was really unstable. [23:45] corey__: It just might be your wireless setup. [23:45] Nomexous, yes sshfs was very reliable when I had a wired setup, unfortunately I don't have that kind of setup and I am not in control of the wireless configuration aside from my location. [23:46] corey__: I see. [23:46] corey__: Sorry I can't help more. [23:46] Nomexous, I do notice my wireless signal is not as high as I'd like it to be, perhaps that is causing the issues. [23:46] corey__: Oh I just remembered. [23:46] TML: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/upstart/+question/7377 [23:46] jrib: /etc/event.d was all I needed, thanks. Strikes me as odd how difficult it is to find *where* those jobs are stored. :) [23:46] corey__: At what bitrate are you connected with the AP? [23:46] Nomexous, then again, there should be checks to ensure data is secured.. [23:47] is there a simple command to upload a text file to a pastebin service by the terminal? [23:47] corey__: I used to stream MythTV over wireless, and I had to add something to my an interface config file [23:47] TML: I'm pretty sure I've seen the description of how the TTYs work on that wiki, but I have to admit I couldn't find it just now either :) [23:47] corey__: Let me dig it out [23:47] Nomexous, horribly slow at ~1MB/s [23:48] Nomexous, though my real-world download speeds are ~280KB/s [23:48] Nomexous, thanks [23:48] corey__: Type 'iwconfig' in the terminal [23:49] corey__: Under your wireless interface, there should be something that says 'Rate'. [23:49] corey__: See what that says [23:50] Nomexous, yeah.. bitrate is 1 Mb/s [23:50] corey__: I had to put a line in my /etc/network/interfaces file [23:50] Nomexous, the link quality is between 70 and 90. signal level is -60 dBm [23:50] corey__: pre-up iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M [23:51] corey__: The actual number might be different for you [23:51] corey__: Let me see how to figure that out [23:51] Nomexous, I see [23:51] Does ubuntu have a temporary folder that I can store files in but I know it will be cleared regularly? [23:51] how can i repair grub files? [23:51] Gerinych, use your preferred text editor [23:52] corey__: on what? [23:52] ldlework: /tmp/ is cleared on each reboot [23:52] corey__: It's 'iwlist scan' [23:52] Gerinych, depending on your settings try looking in /boot/grub [23:52] SlimeyPete, hey thanks for the answer. [23:52] jrib: Well, for what I wanted, it was actually even easier than that. I just went into /etc/event.d and did: for i in `seq 7 24`; do cat tty5 | sed -e 's@tty5@tty$i@g' > tty$i; done [23:52] corey__: Find you access point, and there should be a list of rates the AP supports [23:52] corey__: no, my menu.lst's fine, if that's what you mean [23:53] hello [23:53] corey__: Pick one in the middle and put that in your /etc/network/interfaces [23:53] Gerinych, well you're not very descriptive when you mean 'grub files' [23:53] Nomexous, that's a great idea, thanks I'll try it [23:53] I'm playing a .mov file with totem movie player but the image is really bad [23:53] what is ubuntu's off topic chan? [23:53] corey__: It'll require a restart of the interface, though [23:53] TML: nice. Out of curiousity, why would one need so many? [23:53] !ot | DCCuser [23:53] DCCuser: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:53] DCCuser: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:54] I get some thick horizontal line. Does anyone knows if there is a better way to play them? [23:54] corey__: stage1, stage2, stuff like that [23:54] :D [23:54] ;) [23:54] hello all! [23:54] Gerinych, you can use dd to write it to your boot sector [23:54] which version should I get of gparted? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gpart [23:54] hello chan [23:55] jrib: I don't run X on this box [23:55] for remote accessing a ded server, whats the best way to upload files [23:55] hey, how do I force eth0 settings now to be touched by any automatic mechanism [23:56] current access point is a ssh putty console [23:56] jrib: The video card is ridiculously underpowered [23:56] for example if I set an ip with ifocnfig from the command line, if I detach the cable the setting will be lost [23:56] ifconfig [23:56] TML: don't like screen? [23:56] this is VERY annoying [23:56] !enter | alesan [23:56] alesan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:56] sam555: that depends on what edition you're running [23:56] hey, is there a program I could use to interact to a Sony Ericsson phone? [23:57] !bluetooth | Schuenemann [23:57] Schuenemann: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [23:57] alesan, enter your desired ip settings into /etc/network/interfaces [23:57] ortsvorsteher, one was the question, the following line was an example. I did not really broke the enter convention here. [23:57] Gerinych: ok, well I downloaded a package from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/gparted [23:57] assuming I have the i386 [23:57] jrib: I like screen, but I already use it on the remote end, and it's hard to keep them all coordinated. [23:57] alesan: for me it was not easy to follow you ;) [23:57] hatter243, this is only a temporary setting, I whish only to deactivate any automatic behaviour. [23:57] ortsvorsteher, I need USB cable. Is it possible? [23:58] ortsvorsteher, I will enforce a "longer line" on this channel, because of the high traffic, you are right. [23:58] jrib: If I were handier with .screenrc, I'm sure I could make screen have the desired behaviour. [23:58] alesan, temporarily change /etc/network/interfaces to have the static ip settings you desire. When you don't want them anymore, change them back to their original state [23:58] Schuenemann: i never connected a mobile device over usb. but, why not to try. may after connect it automounts youre mobile [23:58] alesan: thanks :) [23:59] thanks much [23:59] hatter243, ok that's annoying but I will do that... by the way, can you give me an example for the syntax used in that file or better, a documentation link or similar? [23:59] Schuenemann: did you searched the web for your question? [23:59] ortsvorsteher, let me clarify. I connected and it works. I can add/remove pictures and music. The problem is for applications. I don't see a "app folder" which I can simply copy stuff into it. [23:59] hi, I dont want to install an ftp server, considering any other fast uploading methods in existance to place files on a remote server [23:59] yes, I did search...
