[00:30] kujiun: what's not working? [00:31] yeah it flashes up really quickly and all i can get from it is something about an ethernet card [00:31] __MAV, apt-file update downloads a large file with a list of all files available in all packages [00:31] Gerinych: He can't find the model number in Device Manager... [00:31] djyoung4: check and see if a recommended driver is in system | admin | hardware drivers that is [00:32] ok [00:32] kujiun: does he have drivers for the card?

[00:54] yep [00:54] Wont it ruin my current gnome desktop? [00:55] can someone answer me a wubi question? [00:55] Heliodor, that's why you reinstall ubuntu-desktop, to make sure you don't lose anything [00:55] speaking of desktop managers... i installed xubuntu packages on my ubuntu, but when i try to login with a xfce session, it still looks like gnome [00:55] Ah.. :) [00:55] f [00:55] Gerinych, you DID select 'xfce' in the login screen session menu? [00:55] dr_willis: yeah [00:55] Heliodor, libglib2.0 is the base for gtk/gnome as kdelibs4c2 is the base for kde [00:55] K_Dallas: check this out SoundTroubleshooting - Community Ubuntu Documentation [00:56] I have this old windows 2000 machine which I just discovered has a bad cdrom drive [00:56] Gerinych: Did it look any different at all? [00:56] Gerinych: They are very similar nowadays in looks [00:56] and I read in the forums that you can install fluxbuntu if you get wubi 7.04 and use the "advanced settings" [00:56] but I can't find the advanced settings [00:56] thechanklybore: it had a different wallpaper, a different theme, but it looks nothing like xubuntu screenshots [00:56] thanks redvamp128 [00:57] sunra 7.4 ? you sure it's not 8.4 ? [00:57] sunra, once you install ubuntu via wubi - you should be able to apt-get install anything you want... but fluxbuntu - may be special since its a disrto with their own variant/package/repos. You should be able to get 'fluxbox' however [00:57] K_Dallas: it is kind of general but should work for the 64 bit as well [00:57] nickrud: Ah, it worked.. :) Thanks for the help!! [00:57] how can i install nessus on ubuntu? [00:57] why does apt-get moo not look like a cow?

[00:58] K_Dallas: also if that does not work then try this one Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide - Ubuntu Forums [00:58] Dr_willis: the computer is super old, and I didn't want to have to go through the steps of installing all this stuff I don't need to just uninstall it [00:58] Dr_willis: but maybe I will have to [00:58] Could someone help me.. with stalonetray? I'd like to move it to the top right of my screen and I don't know how. [00:58] I'm on Intrepid 8.10 [00:58] i got it working! [00:58] :) [00:59] faster then dail up [00:59] sunra, apt-get install fluxbox, is ablut all there is to getting fluxbox.. proberly not a big download either.. Installing the 'fluxbuntu desktop' may be a bigger download. [00:59] K_Dallas: I dont' have a 64 bit though --- but These are the best guides out there to get you on the right track for sound.. [00:59] redvamp128, thanks. i look into both of them [00:59] Dr_willis: yeah, it was less about getting fluxbox and more about NOT installing the full ubuntu distro [00:59] Bah... [00:59] I would try the first one first-- the second one involves compiling Alsa source [00:59] and I just wanted to see if I could make it work [01:00] any way to speed up the show when having auto-hide on a panel in gnome? It takes for ever right now [01:00] redvamp128, sure. i try compiling as a last resort [01:00] thanks all [01:02] sunra if i understand it correctly fluxbuntu is the only *buntu which uses an installer that will work in less than 128m ram the rest use ubiquity. if you have more than 128m you could use the server/alternate install iso [01:02] K_Dallas: also here is the main Alsa site as well to get the cutting edge source from Main Page - AlsaProject [01:02] too late wasn't it.... [01:02] excellent, appreciate it [01:02] hi all, I have a d-link dwl 900ap that is hooked up to my adsl modem/router via ethernet cable and also into my pc via the supplied usb cable. I have read that this unit will work with ap-utils so that i can be managed from linux (otherwise it has to be done from a windows pc as this unit does not have web based control) I have installed ap-utils but do not know how to access/use it. Any suggestions? [01:03] after I right click on a folder and select the "share this folder" box and click "Create Share" I can't seem to access it on any of my computers. Also I noticed that my smb.conf does not change at all after I do this. "ps -e | grep smbd" shows there are 2 smbd processes running. is that normal? what should I do?

That said, I can run fdisk -l and see the harddrive partitions. Can someone tell me how I can ubiquity to see them? [01:08] I can add them back manually, but why would they disappear at random? [01:08] mcnellis, to my knowledge, all distros do [01:08] how does ipv6 solve port forwarding problems? [01:08] root______: It's a Mylex 170 Acceleraid. RAID 0+1, 1 logical Drive... and this is the last logical drive in the extended partition [01:08] jbwiv: Does parted see them? [01:08] root______: All the other devices are ok, but they were creatd during the install of the OS [01:08] and which dell mini, btw? 9 or 12? [01:09] CuriosCat: 9 [01:09] root______: Incidentally, it' 8.04 server [01:09] CuriosCat: and I'd have to try parted...haven't tried that yet [01:09] Is there any performance gain running two Raptor discs in RAID 0? [01:09] nvm, i solved it, the real problem was that yet another smooths scrolling did not give keybaord scrolling focus on pageload so i made a greasemonkkey script docuemnt.body.focus() and it works now. [01:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1044480 if anyone care to help [01:09] Twinkletoes|H pastebin ls -lh /dev/rd/ #and we will see if we can figure out the major/minor for you [01:09] CuriosCat: fdisk shows the ss harddrive at /dev/sda, and the usb key at /dev/sdb [01:10] CuriosCat: but ubiquity only lists /dev/sdb to partition [01:10] anyone! [01:10] CuriosCat: I'm not in front of it, but I'll check that. is there something specific about the way parted does it? [01:10] hi can anyone tell me how to change the firewall settings to allow ident/auth on port 113 ?? [01:10] jbwiv, did you use 'sudo fdisk -l' or just 'fdisk -l ' ? [01:10] Dw_willis: sudo fdisk -l [01:10] root______: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108426/ but it doesn't show the device I need (/dev/rd/c0d0p8) [01:11] Dr_wills: ah, does ubiquity not run as root? [01:11] jbwiv: Sounds like a problem with ubiquity, unless it decided for some reason that the SSD can't be usedc for installation [01:11] jbwiv, not sure. :) just wondering.. I instaslled Ubuntu last nioght to my AcerAspireOne via the ThumbDrive Method and it worked.. but i DID have the internal hard drive allready parittioned with a linux filesystem for it to use. [01:11] drzin: vmware is a proprietary stuff you should check with their support [01:12] Dr_willis: ah, I see. How did you partition it ahead of time? [01:12] Dr_willis: I guess I could try to manually partition it with fdisk [01:12] * CuriosCat is starting to get annoyed with gnome [01:12] i give it try [01:12] is there any way to install enlightenment in ubuntu 8.10 [01:12] =-( [01:12] CuriosCat and Dr_willis: thanks guys...you've given me some things to look into [01:12] if I can't get Nautilus's to share a folder with samba, should I just configure it manually? is there a known bug(I searched but found many things that sounded similar to my problem) [01:13] drzin: the vmware I maintain are painfull they accept one kernel you must not update blabla [01:13] i want to play rmvb movies [01:13] eny body intrsting to tell me the comands [01:14] Matr|X: what's that?

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.

[01:18] Twinkletoes|H example of false device node: sudo mknod /dev/boohoohoo b 8 1 # < that will actually access sda1 [01:18] ubuntu is installed on a 750gb drive but windows only see 128 gigs of that 750 drive so i can't reformated the drive. How can i reformat that whole drive? [01:18] boscoslife, and ebox too has issues [01:18] root______: Ah - cool! ;) [01:18] anyone here ever play with open-xchange? [01:18] topsub: There are many options to do so --- If you have a win98 boot disk --(I would unplug any other drives just to be on the safe side) boot with it -- use the fdisk then have it take over the whole drive-- reboot -- format the drive - and to be on the safe side -- also type the following command - fdisk /mbr === Taladan_ is now known as Taladan [01:18] topsub, sounds like an old bios hitting the physucal limit [01:18] i have a win xp pro cd [01:18] Twinkletoes|H welcome, and sorry i don't have any experance with raid arrays so can't be more help there. [01:19] topsub do you have windows xp installed? [01:19] i have 2 750gb drives it sees the other 750 just not the 750 that ubuntu is on [01:19] yes [01:19] just got done doing a fresh install [01:19] then the tools are there-- to reclaim that drive-- [01:19] i have [01:19] topsub - at the run type diskmangment.msc I think [01:19] i have a seagate disk that i ghouth could do it [01:19] redvamp128, i did that but i only sees 128 gigs from that 750 gig drive [01:20] topsub then it is an old bios hitting it-- [01:20] diskmgmt.msc actually [01:20] redvamp128, hmm i have 2 750 gig drives and it sees the other drive just fine [01:20] CuriosCat: thanks -- [01:20] Hmm... [01:20] hello [01:20] could someone please help me? Whenever i run Mythbuntu frontend fullscreen, the taskbar does not dissapear from the screen, why is this? [01:21] topsub: it should show up as uknown in disk management [01:21] I re-partitioned my disk with Gparted, but it still shows that the discs contain data... How can that be?? [01:21] topsub, there is often a jumper that you can set on a drive to fake the cylinder count and get all of the drive to be seen. I assume these are not identical drives or they have different jumper settings [01:21] I have a 64 bit compatable computer and I am curious what the difference between the 32 and 64 bit versions of ubuntu? [01:21] And when i mount the newly created EXT3 is says the owner is ROOT and i cant write [01:21] dubside, stick with 32 bit unless you must access over 4 gigs or ram [01:21] dubside: 64bit version can handle more RAM and in-memory data [01:21] Heliodor: That's just permissions [01:21] dubside: only use 64-bit if you have over 4gb ram [01:22] oh, 2gb [01:22] Heliodor: sudo chown -r owner /path/to/drive [01:22] faileas: Thanks :) [01:22] /path/to/mountpoint technically [01:22] I have 2gb will that do? [01:22] chmoding the device file won't help him :P [01:22] dubside, yep [01:22] dubside: stick with 32bit version [01:22] dubside: You can run 64-bit with 2GB of RAM, but there is no advantage.; [01:22] CuriosCat: haven't quite wrapped my head around that concept yet ;p [01:22] Okay thanks for the advice, I think I will stick with 32bit. [01:22] i am in my bios now and it is showing capacity as 750gb, [01:23] CuriosCat: It might be a bit slower ive heard :) [01:23] BTW where did all of the N. America mirror go to download ubuntu? [01:23] topsub: does it show anything about the other drive in diskmanagemnt? [01:23] does anyone know a text editor tool which can replace a lot of text with something else? (I'm trying to replace "," with the "Enter Key" in a large text file) [01:23] its werid in the disk mgt just shows the 128 gigs but in my bios it shows 750. [01:23] heliodor: That's only theoretically true [01:23] Gaming4JC: sed :) [01:23] access mode in my bios is auto and the extended IDE drive is auto also [01:24] CuriosCat i dont' think he was instructing him to own the device node but the mount point of the mounted device [01:24] in practice, the difference is insignificant [01:24] root: I merely clarified :) [01:24] topsub, are both drives the same type [01:24] well right now i just have my 1 raptor and my 750 gig [01:24] can anyone help me with setting up my website i need to link www.boscoslife.com to /home/bosco/public_html/index.html how do i do that i have a 2nd website and i need to link that one to www.boscoslife.info to /home/bosco1/public_html/ how do i do that [01:24] jmarsden|work: Thanks! [01:24] i removed my other 750 so i didn't clear it by mistake [01:24] topsub: I would recomend something like this to get it back Ultimate Boot CD - Overview [01:25] faileas: invalid option -r ? [01:25] Heliodor it's -R [01:25] topsub though most of the time -- diskmangment sees the linux as unknown -- or other file system (depending on windows version) [01:25] root______: Ah, aight :) [01:25] hello [01:25] but he doesn't need -R [01:26] Is it possible to have everything set to german language except for the builtin spellchecker? [01:26] What do I need to do to get w32codecs and libdvdcss2 installed in 8.10? [01:26] what can i use on that bot cd ? [01:26] root______: i thought it needed to be recursive [01:26] to reformat that whole drive? [01:26] Gaming4JC: sed 's/,/.$/' ? [01:26] my friend has a problem with gnupg [01:26] topsub: This has plenty of handy tools on it -- Ultimate Boot CD - Overview [01:26] Heliodor: -R, my bad. case sensitivity is another thing i have issues with >< [01:26] root______: true, there is no folders [01:26] or files [01:26] faileas newly created fs only contains lost+found/ why own that ? === S is now known as SilentZoom [01:26] !dvd > theshadow [01:26] theshadow, please see my private message [01:26] <_Andrew> theshadow: sudo apt-get install 32codecs libdvdcss2 [01:27] topsub - it boots to a menu to where you can make a choice as to what you want to do the drive-- (it has a version of Gparted on it as well) [01:27] faileas: we all make mistakes sometime :) [01:27] root______: just in case he has something other than that [01:27] jp_sf: reading up on it now [01:27] so i could reformat that whole 750 gig drive that window only sees 128? [01:27] Heliodor: i'd say i'm only human but... ;p [01:27] topsub: hmm, check the drive jumpers first [01:27] faileas: Youd like to be more ;) [01:27] Is there any way to have the spellchecker use a different language than the system language? [01:27] it sounds almost like it has a small disk mode [01:27] danke [01:27] Uh.... [01:27] Heliodor: i'm a real boy! ;p [01:28] topsub: from that you can also format it to be NTFS which the drive should be seen as the whole thing -- and could also be if your xp that you haven't installed motherboard drivers [01:28] copying 400gb takes a while [01:28] is there risk of corruption by downloading the .torrent file? [01:28] no i haven't installed mobo drives yet [01:28] faileas: so said pinnochio :) [01:28] should i do that now? [01:28] dubside: no [01:28] Heliodor: ya ;p [01:28] thanks [01:28] i was about to install mobo drives then stoped to do the hard drive [01:28] only way to run a portable server enviroment is xampp right? [01:28] Topsub sometimes if they are not installed -- Xp gets incorrect data on some devices [01:29] topsub: Xp will actually run drives in compatible mode -- [01:29] hello [01:29] topsub: I would also apply service packs as well (unless your install is XPSP3) [01:29] Umm... what would be best, running HFS+ on the storage drive or EXT3? I have trouble deciding. [01:29] where's the channel for eee ubuntu?

[01:31] i am downloading a zi pnow [01:31] i am on my laptop on ubuntu on here [01:32] think i will update xp like crazy to sp3 [01:32] then see about getting hard drives to work [01:32] <_Andrew> dartagnon1234: Is this on Desktop or server?

[01:44] or4n_, alternatively, can someone tell me how to get an IDLE like editor for python? [01:44] dead2: try the apache channel #apache [01:44] well, there would be no enthusiasm or appreciation for those projects if everyone's eee works as terribly as mine does. [01:44] error404notfound, my bad, didn't mean to write or4n [01:44] balzac, I got mine on a 8gb thumbdrive also :) works well from there.. and from the HD.

[01:44] jp_sf, here are the results: http://www.pastebin.ca/1315908 [01:44] aaaa [01:44] wtf [01:44] Crayboff: you could try SPE [01:45] rdw200169, i'm trying to learn python [01:45] It's probably that I installed it on the 16GB flash which has slower IO, so the swap is choking [01:45] Crayboff, lost the wtx.. it isnt needed or wanted in here [01:45] fliegenderfrosch, does that work with python3 [01:45] lose [01:45] hey [01:45] I was supposed to install on the 4GB drive [01:45] Crayboff, b/c you can get idle already [01:45] Crayboff: why shouldn’t it? === mercutio22_ is now known as mercutio22 [01:46] Dr_willis: that's interesting to hear it runs well off your USB drive... [01:46] Crayboff, it's possible to install Python 3.0 in Ubuntu, it's not in the repositories though b/c it hasn't been 'released' [01:46] balzac iotop might make plain what's happening there maybe [01:46] I wish I knew how to diagnose what's causing my freezing [01:46] hola buenas noches, hay alguien en español? [01:46] Crayboff: alternatively you can use Kate or another editor [01:46] !es [01:46] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:46] I'll check it out, thanks Agent_bob [01:46] balzac, yea. - then i installed it from that thumbdrive to the HD for a bit more speed. [01:46] Crayboff, yes, the options are many [01:46] rdw200169, i have python 3, but IDLE is still in 2.5 or whatever [01:46] does anyone know one firefox plugin to add more than one file to upload? [01:47] rdw200169: sure it hasn’t been released yet? http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/ [01:47] Crayboff, of course ;) [01:47] ChrisUK: you tried RivaTV ? [01:47] No [01:47] well, my 20GB is from two flash drives, 4GB and 16GB. Original OS was installed on the 4GB flash. I wondered if it had better performance as it was intended to be the install drive. [01:47] Andre_Gondim: upload or download [01:47] jo_sf: where do I get RivaTv? [01:47] <_Andrew> Andre_Gondim: What do you mean? [01:47] exodus_ms, upload [01:48] Crayboff, well, for just about all the python editors you will have to wait for 3.0 compatibility, particularly for the introspection and debug features etc... [01:48] :( [01:48] bbiab [01:48] _Andrew, I want to upload more than one file, but firefox just select one, how may i change this? [01:48] Crayboff, i'm referring to bicycle, etc... i don't know if any of them have 3.0 versions yet... [01:48] Anyone here thought of working as a ubuntu consultant? I think many people want to run ubuntu but dont have time to learn all this stuff and would gladely pay to have stuff fixed....

[01:49] Heliodor, Yes there is paid support [01:49] well, rdw200169, any suggestions if I want to learn python3 and not wait till a newer version is out?

[01:49] Andre_Gondim: I think orkut would have to handle that not ff [01:49] balzac just a thought. good luck with it. [01:49] Heliodor, No, there are locals as well [01:49] _Andrew, in windows you can choose more than one file [01:49] Crayboff, well, you're biggest difficulties are going to arise form modules; most of the modules you will want to use are (likely) not 3.0 ready [01:50] jp_sf: I activated and download recommended driver 173 [01:50] exodus_ms, ff at windows do this [01:50] fliegenderfrosch, i think so [01:50] Crayboff, all the modules have to be rewritten or converted (depending on their complexity) to 3.0, which is no trivial task! [01:50] ChrisUK, I don't like the fact dmesg complains about rivatv [01:50] Jack_Sparrow: Ah, cool. Must be hard though, keeping oneself updated. ubuntu changes so fast.. and so much [01:50] rdw200169: afaik idle is a part of the official python distribution, so it would have been strange if no python 3 version had been released [01:50] rdw200169, well I don't understand modules yet, soooo... ummm ya [01:50] ChrisUK: you can through synaptic update to latest drivers [01:50] !ot [01:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

It'll highlight syntax and stuff once you save the file as .php [02:05] Hello Tfl_totalnub, I installed the recommended drivers which were 173, my on restarting my computer is just black [02:05] mercutio22_, then that is where your problems start [02:05] nabz: I like kate quite a lot as an editor, and it can save directly to ftp. as a ftp client i use dolphin, the standard kubuntu filemanager. you can also use nautilus, the standard ubuntu filemanager for ftp connections.

I need to fetch some arch packages, but only an ubuntu box is available with internet. Is it possible to get pacman running on ubuntu (because of the dependecies)? [02:43] ChrisUK: you need the drivers for 3D effects [02:43] sztomi: yes but your system will be horribly broken though [02:43] kitche: ok, just thought I'd check because I remember previous versions putting an optional thing at the top saying they was a new full release available [02:43] ok, great, thanks n8tuser [02:43] Jack_Sparrow: it's the 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [02:43] kitche: I don't want to replace apt [02:43] facepalm: how do I get them?

[02:47] hi [02:47] sztomi: are you talking about pacman? [02:47] hello [02:47] Abed, b/c i'm assuming your not referring to the laptop speakers [02:47] facepalm: yes [02:47] facepalm: yes, i've done that. It shows me the recommended drivers. I've installed, believe me I've installed and it leaves me with a blank screen [02:48] rdw200169 no the built in ones, and when i try to connect the external ones it can't be connected [02:48] sztomi: what package are you looking at in synaptic? [02:48] ChrisUK: that sucks, I am not sure... have you tried looking in the wiki or on ubuntuforums? [02:49] facepalm: no synaptic. I need to fetch some arch packages (with deps), but only an ubuntu box is available with internet. [02:49] facepalm: three weeks, three weeks I've been searching.

They work on my older card Geforce4 MX4000 ? Possibly they may work on your 5 series card.? [02:51] sztomi: it might just be easiest to boot off an arch liveCD and then do it that way?

[03:15] that didn't work; it still won't remove the package. [03:16] ok... website says 8.04.2 Desktop is supported to 2011 and Server until 2013 for Security Patches. Does the Server version pull from a different repo? If not, what difference does it make, and so forth ? [03:16] ezerhoden, thanks [03:16] ChrisUK, try the /join #Nividia channel [03:16] TheMusicGuy, ok, try doing it through the package manager. it's prob hooked and relies on other packages [03:16] ...anyone?

Thanks for the advice [03:19] MethinX: can you also give a look [03:19] ChrisUK, I asked earlier if you stopped gdm when you installed the drivers and you seemed not to know what I was talking about. [03:19] TheMusicGuy: you can 'completely remove' in synaptic, 'purge' in aptitude, or just down right delete it [03:19] probably a way to do it with apt, too [03:19] how can i change the theme for KDE programs (amarok, etc) when running gnome? [03:20] tmg1|taylor: not if it's broken [03:20] TheMusicGuy, it looks like it's trying to remove true type fonts, and if that's all it's erroring, then don't worry about it. you're prob using it in your GUI [03:20] Jack_Sparrow: No, I did not know, could you explain?

[03:22] TheMusicGuy: can you try sudo dpkg -r ttf-mathematica4.1 ? [03:22] TheMusicGuy, hunnnn. "sudo apt-get -f" I think will go through and fix problems [03:22] chasmarang, -9 [03:23] chasmarang: Likely both.

Just regular updates will install the latest kernel, which will be chosen at your next reboot (you can manually choose at the GRUB menu) [03:25] TheMusicGuy: see post #2 on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341131 [03:26] ChrisUK: how did you install the restricted driver? your xorg log shows it's using nv.

[03:31] syockit: I've done that as well [03:32] hey Flannel - so how is it done manually with Grub [03:33] ChrisUK: that means, you already have the following installed: nvidia-glx, linux-restricted-modules-XXX (where XXX is kernel version) [03:33] anyone know how I can get my webcam working in skype [03:33] mylisto, Is it one of the supported cams, does it work in any application [03:33] ChrisUK: Did you upgrade from 8.04? Used envy? [03:34] I looked on a website and it says that it is supported [03:34] 30 [03:34] also on the site it says that it works out of the box...but it doesn't work with skype... [03:34] syockit: yes [03:34] mylisto, Make and model and what site said it worked [03:34] http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/UbuntuWiki:HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech [03:35] logitech quickcam e 1000 [03:35] mylisto, and does it work in any app [03:35] ChrisUK: I'm sorry I said 3 things at once. I take it as you have nvidia-glx and linux-restricted installed. [03:35] when I boot I get an error "[ 25.471845] note : swapper[1] exited with preempt_count 1" then a panic [03:35] syockit: yes [03:35] MickyMouse, you mean orage? [03:35] anyone know what the cause could be? (8.01) [03:35] im trying to copy filesto my thumbdrive and i get this error --------> Error creating directory: Read-only file system [03:35] ChrisUK: about upgrading Hardy, and ever using envy? [03:36] um...says it works in ekiga...trying it now [03:36] syockit: I have Ubuntu 8.10, I've tried using Envy but there isn't a version available for Ibex [03:36] works in ekiga [03:37] how do i get the necessary X dev files to build wine from source? [03:37] ChrisUK: in xorg log, there's (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [03:37] im trying to copy files to my usb drive and i get this error --------> Error creating directory: Read-only file system (Can someone tell me whats wrong or how to fix it) [03:38] ChrisUK: Okay, probably shouldn't have asked about hardy. Actually I wanted to know whether /etc/X11/xorg.conf is there or not. If there is, please pastebin it [03:38] syockit: I will, one minute [03:38] mylisto, The site you linked said right there that it does not work with skype [03:38] yeah I know that... [03:38] What I'm wondering is... [03:38] is there any kind of work arounds to get cameras working in skype? [03:39] chasmarang: when you boot up you should get a screen that lists the installed kernels and just use the up and down arrows to select a different kernel [03:39] ChrisUK: after pastebin-ing, please try the following: sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia [03:39] So what's the best way for me to contribute to Linux/open source as a non coder? [03:39] or will I have to wait for some kind of bug fix or patch? [03:39] how is it that chkrootkit can think there is a packet sniffer on eth0 and yet debsums think that dhcp3-common / dhcp3-client are OK? [03:39] !contribute [03:39] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [03:40] Brack10: bug triage, documentation, or advocacy [03:40] mylisto, Buy supported hardware. better than spending days trying to get a cam working [03:40] only problem is I live on a freaking island... [03:41] Hard to get stuff at the stores...and shipping is outrageous [03:41] mylisto, All the more reason to do your homework before spending your $ [03:41] duanedesign: should I contribute to the linux foundation? [03:42] Skype usually needs a little bit of work for the camera [03:42] I think a recent update broke my ability to view network shares on ubuntu. (happened to both my desktop and laptop). How can I review past software updates and undo them? [03:43] mylisto: try gstreamer-properties as a testing tool too [03:43] when I boot I get an error "[ 25.471845] note : swapper[1] exited with preempt_count 1" then a panic Anyone familiar with this problem? [03:43] temmpy: how? [03:43] Jack_Sparrow: do u know how i can specify to the "x" (xorg.conf . i think) that i want to use the radeon video driver? [03:43] in linux? [03:43] er...terminal? [03:43] dreamy_, WHICH NVIDIA [03:43] mylisto: yes, on a terminal. its a gnome program [03:43] hey [03:43] Jack_Sparrow: i could try anyway .. but i dont want to risk [03:43] Sorry for the caps [03:43] Jack_Sparrow: no .. a mobility radeon [03:43] Does anyone in here know how to change the local domainname for my linux box? [03:43] Jack_Sparrow: m6 ly [03:44] dreamy_, One sec [03:44] okey [03:44] Jack_Sparrow: can i paste a bit of my xorg.conf ? [03:44] I'm in Ubuntu, but my local domain is monokro.me. When I try to access my servers, I'd rather be able to type flavor than flavor.monokro.me - and I don't want to hackily be adding hosts all day. However, I can't figure out how to change the system's domain name - only the host name. [03:44] hey monokrome, i think what you want is in /etc/hostname ? [03:45] beekor: No, that's the hostname. Not the domainname. [03:45] dreamy_, Please use pastebin for pasting. [03:45] works in gstreamer temmpy: [03:45] dreamy_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/108445/ is mine [03:45] ahh, i tried. [03:45] what do you want me to look for speciffically? [03:45] Brack10: ibm, hp, oRACLE, Intel, hitachi, and Novell got that covered. There is alot of grass roots stuff to do [03:45] g'day, how do i set the "primary" screen (i.e. the screen that has the gnome menus and such) in a dual screen setup? [03:45] dreamy_, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [03:45] Jack_Sparrow: your xorg.conf you man ? [03:46] CoUrPsE]DeAd: sorry .. dunno what is paste bin [03:46] |asd === Eber_ is now known as Eber [03:47] !paste [03:47] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:47] mylisto: its just a standard app to test your webcam, as far as I know. I really don't know. I bought a webcam that has an opensource driver, and is supported, etc. But it still works poorly. I suggest you play with the skype settings, experiment with different ones [03:47] anyone have the latest build of KompoZer - its supposed to be at http://kompozer.net/zip but its seems to be down [03:47] anyone play warcraft3 in wine? :o [03:47] will find a way to get this bastid working [03:47] okey i dig it [03:47] everyone...take care... [03:47] and have fun with Obama... [03:47] we will [03:48] Hye guys, where can I set an application to be started when the desktop is? [03:49] you can add it to /etc/local.rc [03:49] when I boot I get an error "[ 25.471845] note : swapper[1] exited with preempt_count 1" then a panic Anyone familiar with this problem? the kernel panics so I can't even boot its a fresh install of 8.01 [03:49] L|nuxPS2: where'd you get that link from? I think the download link is on the main page [03:49] thats for the stable one that doesn't work in intrepid [03:49] !startup [03:49] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [03:49] how can I add a sound to keypresses? [03:49] i need the unstable one [03:49] MikyMouse: See sessions configuration [03:50] hey! I some how managed to completely bork my laptop whilst trying to install new madwifi drivers. Now Ubuntu thinks it doesn't have a wifi card.. iwconfig, ifconfig, network manager, nothing can see it. what's the best way to get my wifi back without completely reinstalling ubuntu? [03:50] <_Vi_> !bum | MikyMouse [03:50] MikyMouse: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [03:50] Jack_Sparrow: i think i dont have accelaration because i dont have a line at the "driver" part ( ive been doing some stuff before.. must have erased it ) [03:50] sysdoc, ok thanks [03:50] somthing must have erased it [03:50] dreamy_, No idea, just wanted to show you how I setup mine [03:51] okey [03:51] oh and @mickymouse i mean /etc/init.d/local.rc [03:51] how do i upgrade from 8.04.1 to 8.04.2? [03:51] duanedesign: I see. Seriously linux doesn't need money? [03:51] I just edited my first script! [03:51] BoltClock, What is the release you are working with [03:51] woohoo, what does it do? [03:52] Brack10, The problem is who would you give it to.. [03:52] Brack10, We all work for free [03:52] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu 8.04.1 [03:52] Jack_Sparrow: canonical accepts donations for ubuntu [03:52] L|nuxPS2: no link to dev repo? cvs, git, svn or anything? [03:52] BoltClock, Point release? what does lsb_release -a tell you [03:52] not much really but I managed to pull .bashrc up in gedit, and imbed an alias for 'ls -la | less' [03:52] Brack10: I cant say. I would guess Canonical needs it more than the Linux Foundation. But that is only my opinion. [03:53] Brack10, correct.. [03:53] Nobody knows the pain I feel. Nobody knows but me. Anyone know how to change the permissions of a file when ubuntu tells me I cannot change the permissions? I mean, should there be a reason that the admin cannot change the permissions on something? It feels like I'm back on Windows... I'm trying to change the permissions on my Sansa MP3 player. The error I get it is: Error Removing File: Read only file-system. [03:53] the only link from the forum i got was http://kompozer.net/zip where the dev said he would post daily builds, the google cache of the size shows that it existed and had those builds but it seems to have disappeared in the last couple days [03:53] Jack_Sparrow: oh its 8.04.2 now. so apparently the updates that i just installed were collectively known as 8.04.2? [03:53] my problem is that I can't find any bugs in Ubuntu and I'm not competent enough to write accurate docs [03:53] If you want to give money, i'd say donate it to a developer of some program that you're interested in or would like to see completed/more features added. [03:54] beekor, good point [03:54] And where is "Sessions"? I can't find it either under System or Preferenceses? [03:54] should be under prefferences [03:54] system pref sessions [03:54] hello I am trying to use command line ffmpeg but I keep getting an error whenever I try to convert a simple wmv movie: http://pastebin.ca/1315987 [03:54] $100 can be a nice incentive to a single guy developing, but probably is a drop in the bucket for canonical. [03:55] although I'm supporting Linux by using it at work for 3 of my fileservers [03:55] I have lamemp3 installed (from apt-get) [03:55] any ideas? [03:55] Debian though [03:55] any codec packages I need to install? [03:56] advocating I mean [03:56] If the only way I can change files on my MP3 player is to use Windows, I don't know if I'll have a choice but to change back. I love Ubuntu, but if it wont allow me to delete files from the player, well, it [03:56] I tell my bosses how awesome it is [03:56] I'm like hey we're using linux, it rocks [03:56] Chungwa - have fun w Windows. [03:56] I don [03:56] Brack10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ActivismGuide I am currently working on the UbuntuInLibraries [03:56] what mp3 do you have [03:57] Oops. I won't really. But this sucks. I have a Sansa MP3 player. [03:57] Chungwa, you may need to force mount it to be able to write/delete [03:57] Linux is the best thing to happen to computers, Ubuntu is the best thing to happen to Linux....I feel compelled to help [03:57] Chungwa - how about your write to the mp3 player manufacturer and ask them to kindly release open source drivers and software.... [03:57] i need help getting samba to share 3 drives with any machine on my local network...i can't seem to figure it out, any takers? [03:57] does anyone here use virtualbox-ose [03:58] Chungwa, If you can read it then you will be able to get it setup for writing [03:58] I'm trying to copy some stuff to a mac drive but says i dont have permission [03:58] Chungwa - or blame Linux and the community for being slow to get to some random manufacturers hardware and figure it out from scratch... [03:58] sansa uses mtp doesnt it? [03:58] linuxman410, yes but /join #vbox for the best answers [03:58] if so amarok can handle it [03:58] Jack_Sparrow: it may have a hash file that needs to be created in addition to just reading/writing files and it could damage the player. [03:58] Brack10: I agree:) [03:58] how do i run mkfs.xfs on ubuntu hardy server? or how do i get it installed? [03:58] mindrape, that would be awesome, except that that they won't care :( [03:58] i join but no one is talking in there [03:58] I've got an older sansa 210 that I used to use with ubuntu a couple years ago, and I'm pretty sure i was able to delete. not that that is too helpful, but i'm pretty sure it is possible. [03:59] Chungwa - you're right... they won't. So nobody should complain about anything ever because it's a waste of time. [03:59] That's some awesome logic there :P [03:59] anyone here know how I can fix the permission so i can copy stuff to portable mac drive [03:59] Free OS, if you want leading support, go get a paid OS. [04:00] Jack_sparrow my usb mouse does not work in virtualbox-ose is there something i need to do for it to work [04:00] Erm, Could you not PM me pls, kthxc. [04:00] Courpse]dead #Ubuntu provides better support than Microsoft mumbai office 99% of the time [04:00] linuxman410, Mine worked out of the box, but if you have a logitec, it may need some sort of tweak [04:00] Brack10, Wasnt talking bout the chan, was talking bout the support for hardware support., [04:01] #ubuntu > * [04:01] I see [04:01] does ubuntu 8.10 not have a '.bash_profile'? [04:01] it is a logitech [04:01] A chan of over 1000 people helping each other is a awesome comunity, and big ups to everyone who gives back by helping others even with the simple things. [04:01] hello all could someone please help me, i have setup samba and i cant see anyone on the nerwork, i dont know wats going on. [04:01] agreed [04:02] how can I tell ubuntu not to update my kernel? [04:02] The rest of IRC is pretty much dead, but #Ubuntu is thriving [04:02] #Debian is doing pretty well too [04:02] melodic, Ubuntu has .bash_history, .bash_logout, .bashrc in ~/ [04:02] Brack10: Even with no coding experience you can triage bugs. Looking for duplicates and forwarding bugs upstream. To make it easier start with a package you know well. Sorry to admin for off topic remarks:) [04:02] how can you check if a device is working [04:03] So any suggestions on how I can get Ubuntu to allow me to change the permissions? I have tried force mounting the MP3 player and while that took away the little pretty locks on the files, when I go into the properties it still says I'm not allowed to change the permissions? I'm truly sorry I said that Ubuntu felt like Windows when in told me I couldn't change the permissions - honest! [04:03] lol. [04:03] And so you should be. [04:03] chungwa what model sansa do you have [04:03] Question: Jaunty stable enough for install, or should I wait a bit? [04:03] hey, i need help fixing up my menu.lst, im running mint but i installed ubuntu over a non-working partition of itself, but now the root is messed up [04:03] sounds good [04:04] I just compiled and installed ZNC on my new install of 8.10 server edition, but it seems it recommends to not run as root. How do I uninstall? There must be lots of files everywhere. [04:04] @X-722 i would say wait - but thats just me [04:04] Brack10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage [04:04] L|nuxPS2: You still on Ibex? [04:04] yeah - i tried jaunty on my amd quad and it was extremely buggy [04:04] X-722: I don't have problem right now in jaunty, but while it's not frozen, can't guarantee that everything will stay intact [04:04] does anyone know if there has been a fix made available for ubuntu 8.10 for the I/O latency issues yet, and if so, where I might get it/how I might install it? [04:04] cjones - depends on the device.... [04:05] cjones - if you want to see if the device is detected you can sudo lshw if you want to see if it causing errors you can dmesg [04:05] riddlebox: aptitude : press = on the linux kernel packages, synaptic, there's a 'lock version' under 'package' [04:05] okey I have found those files, and imbedded my line into bashrc, the training guide I am reading said bashrc is appended to bash_profile, but this is not true with ubuntu? [04:05] L|nuxPS2, Um, it's a Sansa Clip 2GB Version 01.01.18A [04:05] How do i install a custom splash screen (*.so) ? [04:05] mindrape thanks [04:05] #list [04:06] tmg1|taylor, I should have been more clear, I want to do it on ubuntu-server [04:06] Chungwa: try using amarok and mount it as a MTP device [04:06] <_Vi_> wallen: we dont serve files here [04:06] riddlebox: aptitude works on server [04:06] well i gotta go - peace peoples [04:06] tmg1|taylor, with no gui [04:07] tmg1|taylor, sweet, I will use it [04:07] riddlebox: failing that /etc/apt/preferences === gustavo is now known as pelao91 [04:07] L|nuxPS2, thanks I'll give that a try! [04:08] is there a trick to getting rid of packet sniffers? [04:08] hello all could someone please help me, i have setup samba and i cant see anyone on the nerwork, i dont know wats going on. [04:08] bsusa_: are you sure you're on the same domain as your windows boxes(my windows using friends have this problem all the time :( ) [04:09] Thank you. And once again, I love you all! [04:09] Anyone know how to uninstall an application that was compiled and installed from source? [04:09] what's a good java app for firefox? I think icedtea isn't going to work for my chat program, since it wants to make all button text white... [04:09] tmg1|taylor, you can use the tarpit target in iptables, to get those sniffers all sticky [04:10] tmg1|taylor, get's the packets, if sent via TCP, stuck in TCP Wait heck, never replying [04:10] the ubuntu kernel I/O latency bug - anyone know when/if it has been fixed in ubuntu and if packages are available? [04:10] pandaking, cd into the dir where you compiled the code, and run sudo make uninstall (this assuming the dev's used the standard make rules) [04:10] rdw200169: that is helpful if i can't get rid of it [04:10] nickrud - thanks very much :D [04:10] tmg1|taylor, the best method, though, is just never replying to those packets, ICMP or otherweise [04:11] tmg1|taylor, make those ports you're not using seem invisible [04:12] when I boot I get an error "[ 25.471845] note : swapper[1] exited with preempt_count 1" then a panic Anyone familiar with this problem? the kernel panics so I can't even boot its a fresh install of 8.01 [04:12] rdw200169: also good advise---but that too is a preventative measure [04:13] and wouldn't have helped me not get a packet sniffer :) [04:13] tmg1|taylor, the only way to stop sniffing is by not making your IP accessible by them [04:14] uh [04:14] im on the same workgroup, i cant se the workgroup on the network [04:14] tmg1|taylor, but that is counterproductive... [04:14] tmg1|taylor, putting yourself out there will always cause those sorts of problems [04:14] chkrootkit suggests a packet sniffer is already installed on my system [04:14] Hola, #ubuntu... [04:14] I' [04:14] tmg1|taylor, huh? [04:15] tmg1|taylor, in linux? [04:15] yes [04:15] i'v egotten two viruses in a week on two different flavours of linux [04:15] all of my debian/ubuntu boxes have been pwned [04:15] right out of the box for this system [04:15] woah [04:15] I have a few questions, and I figure this is the best place to go for it. [04:15] tmg1|taylor, do you have nmap installed? how about snort, etc? [04:15] tmg1|taylor got a name of the virus, I'd like to see this. [04:15] caimlas: not atm, this is a spankin' new install [04:15] Linux.RST.b for the last one, not sure about this one [04:15] tmg1|taylor, wtf are you doing to get rooted so quickly? [04:16] hey, i'm reading to understand about skype or something similar, or not !!! because really, what i'd like is something i could "voice chat" using my bluetooth "that i don't use for my cell phone, cause i don't use my cellphone ? any suggestion ? [04:16] I've been fiddling around with PCSX and the XVideo Driver won't let me actually configure it... does anyone have any experience with this? [04:16] tmg1|taylor, I've only once ever had a problem, and that was my own damn negligence [04:16] caimlas: sadly I have a webpad from 1995 that has a keyboard that is barely usable [04:16] Sorry to bother you guys so much. I have one last question and then i'll be on my way. [04:16] I made, for a little while last night, a user with username/password easy to type(and therefor guess) [04:16] I use Fedora 9, and I think I'm going to switch to Ubuntu 8.10. Can anyone tell me if this is really worth the effort? [04:16] I deleted the username shortly thereafter but was already compromised [04:16] so yes, my fault...but still. [04:16] Does a live cd (ubuntu) require good working ram? [04:16] tmg1|taylor, how? [04:17] tmg1|taylor, did you have ssh installed? [04:17] kon, yes [04:17] robf: i have the files still from Linux.RST.b you can have them if you want [04:17] tmg1|taylor how you manage to get those, they're actual MEVs, [04:17] scripts etc [04:17] I don't need em, I got a raw copy here. [04:17] well on a disc somewhere [04:17] debsums reported a bunch of files changed, I've replaced those and now debsums doesn't complain anymore [04:17] mJoker: why don't you try a live cd..i think it's a matter of opinion ?? [04:18] tmg1|taylor thought it was something new [04:18] kon, not necessarily, you have to use memtest86, on the installer cd, to find the bad spots, then quarantine those [04:18] qcjn: I don't know what that is :P [04:18] virus examples and such are definitely for #ubuntu-offtopic guys [04:18] that things liek 4 or 5 yrs old I think [04:18] qcjn: bluetooth what [04:18] rdw200169: thats exactly what i did and i get a whole bunch of errors [04:18] caimlas: ftp [04:18] but the live cd runs perfect [04:18] Nick__I thought we were discussing him being infected, stop being a fascist. [04:18] er nickrud [04:18] kon, you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM [04:19] robf: careful with those accusations there [04:19] probably not [04:19] I'll have a look [04:19] robf, sure. passing around samples is what I'm talking about [04:19] I tried running "sudo make uninstall" but get this error: "make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop." [04:19] tritium, hyperbole doesn't phase me :) [04:19] is there a software progream to allow someone to SAFELY remotely access your machine? [04:19] tmg1|taylor: i heard we could use some program "like skype" with a bluetooth like we use with cellphone [04:19] and you can cut them off whenever you want? [04:19] Is it possible that ubuntu would install with bad ram ? [04:19] nickrud: good :) [04:19] tmg1|taylor: Might I suggest a cloak? I mean, I dont even know you, but I know you are hooked to regina.ca [04:19] wow, linux.rst-b is 6 years old [04:20] nickrud i didn't ask, he offered. big difference, and yes, hyperbole, I wasn't saying he was heinrich himmler. [04:20] joanki123, sure, ssh; you can kill the process for their access, using ps -AF === the6step is now known as the6step|away [04:20] robf: what's a MEV [04:20] mJoker: look for live cd, it works from the cd without install..so you can test it [04:20] whenever i try to copy a file over from my 8 gig flash drive, it errors after about 20 megabytes [04:20] joanki123, for example: ps -AF | grep will return the process # for their tty [04:20] joanki123, kill that process, and they are disconnected [04:20] X-722: i have a website, usually [04:21] thank you rdw200169 [04:21] qcjn: oh, that. I used it once before. I am honestly new to Linux so I'm sorta flying blind here. All I know is FC9 isn't doing what I want. [04:21] joanki123, then again, they can just log in again [04:21] i'm a very public person and the circles I stay with I've been advised to stay that way [04:21] A website for what? [04:21] rdw so how do i stop them then? [04:21] can anyone recommend a good samba tutorial? i'm having a terrible time getting samba to work right [04:21] robf, don't escalate this, but don't put words in my mouth. I called out no one, I simply (and mean it) discuss this in -offtopic [04:21] (regina sucks, btw) [04:21] (uregina, too) [04:21] X-722: i'm a musician [04:21] rdw200169: you mean they can continue to access my machine over and over again with my information? [04:21] This is what I did to install: http://en.znc.in/wiki/Installation#Source_Tarball - any ideas how to uninstall? Thanks [04:21] even if i am not here at my computer? [04:21] joanki123, what do you mean? [04:21] if i let someone ssh, [04:21] mJoker: so thats why it's a good idea to try live cd's..You can try a couple of distro [04:22] can they login when i'm not here? [04:22] Yes, but advertising your IP doesnt help either [04:22] static65-87-245-184.regina.accesscomm.ca [04:22] or do i need to give them access and they can't do it again if i dont? [04:22] it was not a discussion for offtopic, you brought this further than anything we said, w hich consisted of "do you want it I have it here, no I already have it [FULL STOP]. " [04:22] BadRAM is awesome [04:22] X-722: and I try to be generous---I have 100s of gigs of open source/creative commons/free software music, cultural materials and other data for download [04:22] joanki123, absolutely. untlil you revoke it [04:22] k [04:22] joanki123, OHH, ok, well, you can set up a quick account, then add that user to the group 'admin' [04:22] All of this is on the boxes that are being rooted? [04:22] is there another way i can let someone see my screen then? [04:22] without havig to give them access via my wireless router, which i don't have the pasword to? [04:22] joanki123 several ways [04:22] qcjn: Okay. I may do that. [04:22] joanki123, then they get sudo access, and ssh access, from a different user/pass [04:23] I just loaded the server edition in a vbox vm and it won't boot normally or in recovery mode.. it complains that it has the wrong kernel and needs one with pae or some such.. any suggested solutions? [04:23] does memtest86 v2.01 stop at any point or does it just recycle the checking process ? [04:23] joanki123, what exactly are you trying to do? [04:23] qcjn: while I'm on this, Does anyone know if I can install Ubuntu from a Flash Drive? [04:23] X-722: yes, all of this on boxes that have been rooted :( [04:23] give someone access so he can fix something [04:23] What good is all of it if it gets rooted? [04:24] You need to start at least attempgint o hide your ip [04:24] X-722: first time I've ever had this kind of problem was this week [04:24] joanki123, what are you trying to fix? [04:24] my progeramming bug [04:24] Yes, but with this: static65-87-245-184.regina.accesscomm.ca - anyone with a few minutes can root you [04:24] huh [04:24] At least grab a cloak man [04:24] mJoker: install from a flash drive, or operating from a flash drive ?? [04:24] :P [04:24] qcjn: install [04:24] I'll ask again in a bit. I see its busy now. [04:25] X-722: that last part I don't follow [04:25] Well, if they know your IP is static, thats a huge plus - for them. All it takes is a little time and some ingenuity, and they are inside your box [04:25] next think you know - all your box are belong to them [04:25] X-722: from brute forcing passwords? [04:25] thing* [04:25] or something else [04:25] mJoker: i don't know ??? [04:26] I'd like to get rid of my root account and name it something else, i think. [04:26] If "make uninstall" doesn't work, what else can one try? [04:26] i see mostly dictionary attacks in my logs. [04:26] If its brute forcing pws and its happening that quickly, its someone who knows you [04:26] lol oh well. Thanks anyway :P [04:26] and knows your pw habits [04:27] pandaking: http://www.gnulinuxclub.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=315&Itemid=31 ? [04:27] most likely anyway - not an absolute, but it certainly seems the case [04:27] hey guys i need a program like windows movie maker for linux, but not kino, for some reason kino wont work for me. my dog just died and i really need to make a movie for him, if it comes down to it im going ot have to install windows just to use the movie maker, can you guys suggest something please? [04:27] anyone else getting a segfault from pidgin on aim? [04:27] thanks tmg1|taylor [04:28] how in the world do i see part of the windows xp bootup screen when booting into an ubuntu live cd? the computer does have xp installed.. does it get stuck in some kind of buffer and then released later? [04:28] shellby: kdenlive [04:28] okay ill try it thanks [04:28] does memtest86 v2.01 stop at any point or does it just recycle the checking process ? [04:28] cyphase: sometimes parts of VRAM aren't cleared when X is started [04:28] cyphase: does it continue with the install?! [04:28] it's made for kde though, but you can use it anyway [04:28] mJoker: because there's that, but it's not what you're really looking for ....i think ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [04:29] tmg1|taylor: ? [04:29] shelby: if possible, get version 0.7 [04:29] alright [04:29] As I update 8.04.1, will I get the fixes, etc of 8.04.2? [04:29] shelby: versions before that are buggy [04:29] X-722: if need be I can disable ssh access...maybe find a 'cloaked' host to create a secure vpn with or something [04:30] I just installed a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) and my conn is at 1mps and I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853942 but the only thing that was on the page was exit0. I tried of series of variations with or without exit0 and restarted my conn and it is still at 1mps. Any ideas? [04:30] GerbilSoft: so, windows boots up, somewhere along the bootup process a piece of the bootup screen gets stuck in vram, restart a bit later, boot into a live cd, and right before gdm starts up, it's released? [04:30] whoa! this is really nice! thanks a lot :D [04:30] qcjn: actually that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you :) [04:30] well no, it doesn't get stuck in vram [04:30] edju: yes it will be the same, the only point to release a new cd is for new installs [04:30] it's written to a part of vram that isn't used later [04:30] but the X driver sets the framebuffer to that section of VRAM at startup [04:30] GerbilSoft: i didn't mean stuck as in stuck ;P [04:30] and it isn't cleared before the screen is enabled [04:30] GerbilSoft: i see [04:31] GerbilSoft: one of those ghost in the machine moments [04:31] yeah, kind of [04:31] GerbilSoft: sort of [04:31] it probably would be a good idea for X to clear the framebuffer before enabling the screen [04:31] does memtest86 fix ram problems or just report them? [04:32] tmg1|taylor: I would do something man, because being rooted that quickly (or at all) would suck [04:32] i setup samba and i cannot see anyone on the network, i am not sure wats wrong, could someone help me please [04:33] I just installed a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) and my conn is at 1mps and I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853942 but the only thing that was on the page was exit0.

[04:33] X-722: best part is I have 300+ gigs of backups ...which spontaneously dissapeared this week too in the middle of the prairies. just lost :) [04:33] what is a function called in programming when it's no longer the preferred way to do something, but it is kept around for compatibility? [04:33] WebGuest: deprecated? [04:33] Thanks! [04:33] I couldn't think of it for anything. [04:35] hi [04:36] Goku: hi [04:36] herro [04:36] kon: report [04:37] mindrape: Thanks for the info. [04:37] nice nick btw [04:37] ;) [04:37] :P [04:37] :O [04:38] kon, watch out he does that: does nice things for you, and then insidiously, weasles his way into your thoughts ;) [04:38] I just installed a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) and my conn is at 1mps and I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853942 but the only thing that was on the page was exit0.

[04:38] ciao. sto provando ad usare ubuntu , perche' con Amule mi si stacca la connessione alla rete? Grazie. [04:38] !it | gabriele [04:38] gabriele: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [04:40] which ubuntu based distribution that looks like redmond would you recommend? I want to install it on my nieces' desktop and dual boot it with vista [04:40] kubuntu has options to be as Windows-like as possible I'd say... [04:40] I'm using vncviewer -via ssh to connect to x11vnc running on my desktop, whenever I switch to fullscreen mode whatever I type goes into the topmost window and not into the vnc session. Does anyone know how to stop this? [04:40] yeah kubuntu is capable of looking like windows (another strike ;) [04:41] nickrud: lmao [04:41] hi. I was trying to install kubuntu-desktop, and i get the following error: "dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0105' near line 1: newline in field name `#padding'" [04:41] mindrape, true, i could install kde and then customize it to look like redmond however i want the look and feel to come with the distribution [04:41] hagrch: i have had that problem before [04:41] hagrch: got rid of it for a little while, but it came back. I think there's a corrupt .deb file involved somewhere [04:42] mezquitale: well if you dont want to go w an ubuntu distro but just a Windows-like Debian-based distro then hit up distrowatch.com [04:42] if you find it, things might work [04:42] Question: Anyone know why compiz is messing up my keybind for Control+Esc? I can't seem to make any escape binds work with compiz on. [04:42] but if you want to fix it in the meanwhile, there might be some text that you can modify in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0105 --- search for #padding [04:42] mezquitale: ubuntu doesn't strive to make the look and feel like Windows, thankfully. [04:42] only problem with that is that might not be the only issue [04:42] mindrape, actually i wanted an ubuntu based one however if there is another distribution that will do the trick I will be more than happy to try it [04:43] mezquitale, you can check distrowatch.org , they have descriptions of and one probably will mention it's similarity [04:43] mezquitale: why is the Windows look and feel important? [04:43] distrowatch.org it is!!! thank you gentlemen for your input, I am going to download a distro, try it out, then install it on my nieces' desktop and see if they ever boot up to vista again [04:44] viral installations, I have to bow to your subtlety, mezquitale [04:44] Hi [04:44] tritium, because the distro is for my nieces, the older one dreads linux, the command prompt, and the file structure, the younger one is too young to care and hates not being able to enjoy all the appz in linux [04:45] mezquitale: as you wish, but in my mind that's a very constraining limitation [04:45] mezquitale - I recommend sticking w regular good ol' fashioned Ubuntu then install VMWare Player and get a WinXP (avoid Vista pl0x kthx) VM and enjoy never having to fuss with virus or spyware cleanup again (just re-initiate a clean image) [04:46] can someone please help me with this samba problem [04:46] i setup samba and i cannot see anyone on the network, i am not sure wats wrong, could someone help me please [04:46] mindrape: that's what I'm here mostly for [04:46] tmg1|taylor: you got a Linux virus, eh? [04:46] yep [04:46] your installation media is probably rootkit'd :( [04:46] I'm trying to set up a transparent caching squid proxy, but i cant get it to work. It works if i explicitly set the proxy in the browser, but i cant get it to work transparently, i assume i have made a mistake in my iptables, is this correct: http://pastebin.com/f7ee2382d ? [04:46] mindrape: nah, guessable password [04:46] tritium, if they see something they're familiar with they will try it, once theyre hooked most likely they will want to harness the full power of linux and will ask for more, but you have to begin somewhere [04:46] lol... was it... password? [04:46] and X-722 has some suggestions as to why as well [04:47] mindrape: nah but not that much more complex [04:47] mezquitale: I understand why you're doing it, yes. [04:47] mindrape: the surprising part to me was how long it took, less than 2 days [04:47] whats the avg. run time for a 2GB ddr2 memtest86 ? [04:47] its going on 54minutes now [04:47] is this normal ? [04:47] kon, I let them run overnight [04:47] if it takes less than 2 days to root a ubuntu system of any kind it's no longer the case that windows has any inate ability to be 'free of viruses' [04:47] tmg1|taylor: well I recommend you make your password something a bit more complicated... like take the first letter of each word for a sentence that is easy to remember "I drive down Interstate 5 every day to get to my Crazy job" IddI5edtgtmCj [04:48] Oh, wow [04:48] mindrape, i have a better idea, start with a linux distro that looks like redmond, get hooked, get another linux distro that is completely linux--never boot up to redmond again unless there is an app or hardware that is not supported in linux [04:48] i dont think this lappy can make it if its running over night [04:48] interesting, my ubuntu cd iso was only 474mb. [04:48] kon, yeah it can take several hours sometimes [04:48] Oh i see [04:48] mindrape: oh definitely, if I continue to allow passwords/ssh at all. The problem for me came when my keyboard was incapable of typing properly and hence required a shorter password. But still---it is now only a matter of time [04:48] That sucks [04:49] joeyjones: is it an alternate CD? [04:49] i mean, my main passwords are fairly good. But it's the weakest link in the chain that breaks ;) [04:49] #wine is +i? [04:49] Brack10, try #winehq [04:49] Hi - Tried to get into home folder or root of my usb thumb drive using Terminal - used " sudo /dev/sdb " but getting error " command not found " - Someone give me the right script I need to use ? ? [04:49] tmg1|taylor: well you can setup rulesets to disallow easy to guess passwords... to stop yourself from exposing yourself. (mind blown?) [04:50] will memtest tell me exactly what part of the ram is bad? I want to do the BadRAM "mem=##MB" kernel option to temporarily disable memory above that point [04:50] tritium: nope [04:50] mindrape: i hate rulesets---they often do not allow english words despiteyour example [04:50] tmg1|taylor: If you refuse to choose a decent password, you have no right to complain. It's not a "security issue" with Ubuntu. Another thing you may want to look into is DenyHosts, which may thrwart anyone brute forcing. [04:50] but it booted to the first screen successfuly [04:50] then took over an hour before i closed it running the cd check [04:50] ah, wise are the words of Flannel. :) [04:50] nite_johnboy, a couple things wrong there: you would cd into the dir, and it should be a directory under /media (dev/sdb is the raw device) . so cd /media/ [04:51] nite_johnboy, the is the name you see on the desktop [04:51] Flannel: I'll grant that for my specific situation I am at fault and no amount of ubuntu side help will fix that [04:51] but 2 days [04:52] tmg1|taylor: "two days" for what? For someone to brute force? I don't understand what you're getting at. [04:52] two days for a randomly connected box with a vulnerability to be exploited [04:52] if that, maybe less [04:52] tmg1|taylor: "vulnerability"? [04:52] that is windows-level speed of attackers [04:52] took a month for a friend of mi-ne-- [04:52] *minus the -s [04:52] tmg1|taylor: So... your point is "The internet is dangerous"? or what? [04:52] i set up an ubuntu box as a media system [04:52] it means there are sufficient quality/quantity of motivated and technically apt threats that your ubuntu system as well as mine is no longer as safe as it was [04:52] nicrud; Ah - so my cop. name is " newlife" - so would be - " cd /media/newlife " - correct? [04:52] Flannel: particularly for ubuntu users [04:52] he insisted that the username and password should both be his name [04:53] a month later he got pwned [04:53] tmg1|taylor: your problem is not ubuntu-related, but password-related [04:53] (he also insisted on setting up ssh with it) [04:53] tmg1|taylor: if you had ANY operating system w an easy to guess password you'd be hacked. [04:53] tritium: that may very well be the case but in case you've noticed a lot of ubuntu supported tools utilize passwords;) [04:53] tmg1|taylor: and? [04:53] tmg1|taylor: Uh.... People who brute force don't target particular system types. Your box is [a box on the internet that asks me for a password], not "A Ubuntu Box" or anything else. [04:53] Pick strong passwords! [04:53] tmg1|taylor: ie; if I had a mainframe connected to the interbutts and you guessed the password for some user with SYSTEM SPECIAL authority you'd own the sysplex... and this is shocking to you? [04:54] tmg1|taylor, no system has ever been secure since the net started. Philosophical discussions about security belong on #ubuntu-offtopic, specific instructions on basic security is fine here [04:54] Hello, I'm having a really hard time finding a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled, or even one with no os at all. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would really prefer not to pay for windows. [04:54] Flannel: true [04:54] greg_stevens: Dell or system76.com [04:54] nickrud: k [04:54] nicrud; Tried that command and got following " bash: cd: /media/newlife: No such file or directory " [04:55] nite_johnboy, are you sure you got the case correct? [04:55] i suppose everyone here has seen the news story about that nimrod who bought a laptop pre-installed with ubuntu and was like "OMG! I don't understand any of this!" [04:56] nickrud; using lower case for all text omn terminal. [04:56] nite_johnboy, ok. Is the name on the desktop all lowercase? [04:56] ! in terminal [04:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about in terminal [04:56] I'm trying to set up a transparent caching squid proxy, but i cant get it to work. It works if i explicitly set the proxy in the browser, but i cant get it to work transparently, i assume i have made a mistake in my iptables, is this correct: http://pastebin.com/f7ee2382d ? can anyone help me? [04:56] nickrud; yes [04:56] nite_johnboy, you can also do ls /media to see what name dir name it's using [04:57] ok enough bothering you guys [04:57] Thanks for the help, i might be back tomorrow :P [04:57] Cya, time to watch some 30 rock ;) [04:57] hey i've been dual booting windows and ubuntu, today ubuntu was updating and froze so i had to force restart, and now when i choose the ubuntu option upon start up it takes me to a grub4dos command line that ends in grub> any ideas how i can fix this? [04:57] Why would a package be outdated in the packet manager, and the developers website recomend to install from source? [04:57] *package manager [04:57] nickrud; ok will do - just a sec [04:59] nickrud; I'm not running terminal as root - does that matter - I got same error - " No such file or directory " [05:00] Anyone else find compiz really buggy in 8.10? [05:00] nite_johnboy, hm. no, no need to run as root. ls /media says no such file or directory? === user9 is now known as user9andres [05:00] ok...going to try getting my camera working again in skype [05:00] my terminal says at prompt - newlife@newlife-destop:~ [05:00] nite_johnboy, and you say you have a usb stick installed that you're trying to read? [05:01] anyone knows of an mp3 player app like amarok but for GNOME, i want to be able to create playlists and burn them and with a nice GUI like amarok but I want the app for GNOME [05:01] nite_johnboy, I missed a line I think, you mispelled my nick. you're trying to find your home dir? I think we should start over, get on the same page :) [05:01] dammit i forgot the name of that one [05:01] mezquitale, amarok is for gnome. [05:02] nickrud; ok this time i cut & paste what you posted earlier and now have following - cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 NEW VOLUME - [05:02] nite_johnboy, ok, cd /media/NE <-- press the tab key, it will fill out the name for you Uppercase matters [05:02] CoUrPsE]DeAd, my apologies for my ignorance, i thought amarok was for KDE? why are all the KDE modules loaded with amarok then??? [05:03] can anyone assist with with atheros 242x [05:03] mezquitale, Works on both... sudo apt-get install amarok [05:03] snarkster: what about it? [05:03] im running amarok as we speak... [05:03] Cpudan80: I cant get mine to work [05:03] mezquitale, it works with both it's just that in gnome you get all the kdelibs that you might not want [05:03] snarkster: what are you connecting to? [05:03] CoUrPsE]DeAd, ahhh yes, amarok ***works*** on gnome but is not specifically for GNOME, I meant an mp3 player app specifically for GNOME [05:04] mezquitale, like this? http://www.listen-project.org/ [05:04] snarkster: Or well - first check to make sure the driver is enabled under restricted drivers (system --> admin --> restricted drivers) [05:04] yyyyyyello [05:04] mezquitale, Ahh sorry, rhythmbox is on gnome by default, works nicely. [05:04] there's another one that i really like but i forgot what it was called [05:04] Souper, yes!!!!!!!! that looks exactly like what I want, im going to take a look at it, thanks! [05:04] starts with an e i think [05:04] nickrud; ok getting somewhere now - have following - " newlife@newlife-desktop:/media/NEW VOLUME$ " [05:05] no problem mezquitale [05:05] CoUrPsE]DeAd, I have ubuntustudio, Ill look up rhythmbox, thanks for the info [05:05] After going to heck and back with my onboard sound chip, I've reverted to an Old Soundblaster Live card I had laying around, I fear somehow this has caused some sound module confusion, has anyone had any experience with this? [05:05] mezquitale, np. [05:06] I have a Lenovo 3000 G530. On the 32-bit LiveCD, everything works perfectly. On the 64-bit, the keyboard and touchpad do not work (but an external USB keyboard and mouse do). [05:06] nickrud; So now I'm in the root - so what is script to list directories or folders ? [05:06] nite_johnboy, ls lists the files [05:06] !terminal | nite_johnboy (has some basic commands) [05:06] nite_johnboy (has some basic commands): The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:08] can someone PLEASE tell me how to play audio along with a slideshow in kdenlive? [05:08] im an avid linux user but i think im going to have to install windows just to use windows movie maker :( [05:08] hey when starting ubuntu it takes me to a prompt that says grub> does anyone know how to get past this and start ubuntu? === Guest13346 is now known as jaybinks [05:08] can u write to a mac hd from ubuntu [05:09] shit. whatever. im sick of fucking with linux and its crippled simple slideshow creators. i love linux but i completely agree it cant do anything when it comes to editing multimedia. [05:09] shelby: Watch your language!!! [05:10] how do you get your screen resolution to stay at 1152x864 [05:10] MethinX: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:10] I did that mindrape [05:10] its not saveing when I reboot [05:10] pastebin your xorg.conf did you set it as the default or just an option? [05:10] looking at man tar I see for the top three examples there are two (2) "v" 's in the line.. "v" is verbose but why 2 of them? [05:11] lol not sure i think an option [05:11] nickrud; Thanks so much - really like using Ibex but trying to get up to speed with using terminal & some of basics that just came easier using windows - but do not mind - will be far better rewards in the long haul .... [05:11] yes but for what? [05:11] shelby, have you tried "Kino"? [05:11] yeah that's a good questions scunizi. i usually just use 1 v, and i think it all works fine [05:12] nite_johnboy, absolutely. Whenever you have questions about commands, man will tell you a lot. You might find tldp.org a good site to check out. And, of course, people will be glad to help teach you here. [05:12] nickrud; running linux about 90% of the time and will soon not have any need to even turn on my windows box anymore - looking forward to it. [05:12] beekor, maybe it just wants to be "extra" verbose.. that would make the output similar to a chatterbox :) [05:13] I have a Lenovo 3000 G530. On the 32-bit LiveCD, everything works perfectly. On the 64-bit, the keyboard and touchpad do not work (but an external USB keyboard and mouse do). [05:14] what is the point of ClamAV or AVG Antivirus if they don't actually remove the virus file? [05:14] hmm trying to upgrade to current from 8.04 beta disc all packages downloaded, stuck at 0% prepare for a while now [05:14] How can i make to a script doesn't have to be run as root? i installed hddtemp but it'd like to be able to run it as not root [05:14] adnan, avg should [05:14] AVG usually isolates the virus somewhere, or at least it used to. it'd claim that some cant be removed [05:14] scunizi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [05:15] scunizi, it cannot [05:15] ha, i was thinking windows, i didnt even know avg had a linux port. [05:15] i'd like to think that it's not needed. [05:15] not sure if that's true though. [05:15] nickud; Have had others in here help me before as well - really helps to have a point in the right direction - really kinda fry's me when I see some people complain - everyone in here is a great help - thanks for tips and one of these days I'll be able to offer help to some other guy scratching his head... [05:15] beekor: Run anything shady in a guest account. [05:15] beekor, you can never be too sure [05:16] I have a Lenovo 3000 G530. On the 32-bit LiveCD, everything works perfectly. On the 64-bit, the keyboard and touchpad do not work (but an external USB keyboard and mouse do). Anyone else seen similar? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_webkit [05:17] Hi [05:17] nickrud: u der [05:17] anyone here know bout mounting a mac drive? [05:17] c_webkit, hi. Sorta here, what's up? [05:17] i tried to install Ubuntu again [05:17] I think i found the problem [05:18] Could i be tht all the drives are primary it was causing the problem [05:18] it* [05:18] c_webkit, don't know, I've never tried setting all the jumpers as primary:) [05:18] hmm .. well the current senario is [05:18] nickrud, maybe he mean in creation of the partitions being primary [05:18] nickrud: Now i got 4 partitions [05:18] I think I may have some conflicting sound modules, could anyone offer some advice? [05:19] scunizi, ah, good read. c_webkit yeah, 4 primaries is ok. [05:19] I switched from onboard to Soundblaster sound and the sound system may be confused [05:19] scunizi: yes actually all 4 drives were primary previously since it had only one OS.. now i want 3.. so when i installed other one it didnt work [05:19] i've had problems with multiple primares [05:20] nickrud: Now there is only one primary [05:20] and the other is Extended [05:20] i don't know why you wouldn't just set them all to cable-select [05:20] so.. on the extended there is Win XP [05:20] and primary Win98 [05:20] both are working properly [05:20] ? [05:20] anybody can help me with incoming outgoing server for hotmail tnx [05:20] ... [05:21] nickrud: My Q is .. the extended partition has 3 sub partitions one is unallocated The first one has winxp the second is for Data.. (backup) drive and the third partition which i want for Ubuntu is unallocated .. can i format it via ext3 and can i install ubuntu on tht partition [05:21] c_webkit, you mean, you have a primary partition with win98 (wow!) an extended, and a logical partition in the extended with xp? [05:21] burton, I think that you have to use their pay service in order to get server details for Hotmail [05:21] yes [05:21] c_webkit, yes [05:22] what is the most popular Linux antivirus [05:22] Free hotmail doesn't allow smtp/pop server info for free accounts [05:22] I believe [05:22] can i make a separate partition of tht for home via tht [05:22] burton, if that's what you were asking... [05:22] so tht if Ubuntu corrupts.. the home folder is separate [05:22] and how much Disk space is requred for Ubuntu [05:22] 8.10 [05:22] c_webkit, having multiple drives installed typically means that when you install grub gets confused as to where things are and puts itself on the wrong drive.. then you need to reinstall grub.. it's really good at that when you have a mix of drives .. SATA and ide ... re: nickrud [05:23] Welcome response error: Operation now in progress [05:23] i got 127.0.0.1 [05:23] c_webkit, a good idea. About 15gb for root is all you need. Use the rest for /home. Less for root if the partition is relatively small, but not less than 7gb [05:23] adnan, clamav [05:23] afaik [05:23] gives me Welcome response error: Operation now in progress [05:24] scunizi, yeah, I've had nothing but trouble with mixed sata pata. Do you know a good exposition or howto? [05:24] I got around 20GB [05:24] 22* [05:25] is it possible to install .net framework on wine? [05:25] c_webkit, hm, 8gb root I'd suggest. That gives you decent room [05:25] one more thing .. home is like just for u right.. if u install stuff in Ubuntu viz. Realplayer etc.. would it occupy the space on home or root [05:25] c_webkit, root [05:25] ok [05:26] nickrud, what I did was yank the connector on the drives that I wasn't installing to and then do the installation.. after I reconnected and reinstalled grub where I thought it should be.. if that didn't work I just installed grub to all the drives.. good for backup that way too. [05:26] home is where personal settings and data are stored [05:26] and is there a way i can see an .ext3 drive in win98 and xp [05:26] c_webkit, I've seldom gone over 8gb in software in root; I like extra room for databases or compiling kernels (not much of that anymore) [05:26] I'll go for 20 GB root [05:26] and the remaining 2 GB for home [05:26] c_webkit, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [05:27] scunizi, heh. the last guy I tried to help was over the phone, and he's (to be kind) utterly clueless. that's over his head :) [05:27] c_webkit, that's just WAY too much.. 15 max [05:27] ok [05:27] Souper, what about avast? [05:27] c_webkit, no no no make room for your files they take more space than software unlike windows [05:27] hmm [05:27] ok the 7 GB home [05:27] why is GNU's mascot so ugly? [05:27] and 15 GB root [05:27] hows tht sound [05:27] adnan, they're both fine, i just hear of more people using clam [05:28] well clamAV, unlike other antivirus, is open source [05:28] c_webkit, it'll work, leaving 7gb for home and say 1gb for swap. I'd drop root to 10 at least and increase home myself [05:28] I have an additional 20 GB FAT32 drive.. so i can use tht as an "extended" drive [05:28] having closedsource antivirus software defeats the purpose, in my opinion that is [05:28] Souper, thnx [05:28] 1gb is sufficient for swap [05:29] also i am not quite familiar with the swap feature [05:29] np [05:29] What choo talkin' bout decay!? The GNU Gnu is gorgeous [05:29] c_webkit, the fat is ok for backup space only, really. [05:29] nickrud, yea .. I've been there.. I've got a friend/neighbor that I've been telling about ubuntu.. I've reinstalled windows for him 3 times after something got in there and reallly borked things up.. today I put ubuntu on the machine and tried to move all of thunderbirds mbox info over to recoop his email and settings.. well the settings worked but not much of the email came across. Back over there tom [05:29] orrow [05:29] yes [05:29] thts true [05:29] scunizi, ah, well, that's why my mail is on an imap server 'out there' [05:30] I want it for backup only.. cause there is a problem.. 98 xp and u2 are all different drives Fat32 NTFS and ext3 [05:30] so i got Fat32 as backup as it will work will all.. otherwise 98 wont recognize ntfs.. no idea of ext3 [05:31] c_webkit, you can get a driver from fs-driver.org so xp can read ext3 [05:31] ok doing that [05:31] Could someone help me with a little Intrepid sound troubleshooting please? [05:31] c_webkit, ok, I gotta get back to my chores here, take care [05:31] can u tell me whats a swap ?? and y we need it [05:31] is there either a graphical application or command line option to get a directory list that shows the total amount of space that folder is taking up? [05:31] ok see you later nickrud, [05:32] c_webkit [05:32] yes bruce [05:32] swap is like memory [05:32] yes.. but y is it required [05:32] Extra memory, long term ram [05:32] you can think of it as secondary memory [05:32] there are many articles online that talks about it [05:33] bruce_: y is it required.. and how much memory should i allocate it [05:33] u can just google it and I'm sure you will find a lot [05:33] Geoffrey2: du -h (disk usage) you can throw on --max-depth 1 [05:33] Its not required no [05:33] ok thanks [05:33] you should allocate like twice your physical memory [05:33] c_webkit, swap should be 1.5x of your ram if you're going to use hybernate and sleep [05:33] for mine [05:33] But ubuntu will allocate *really depends* about 7gig, normally about RAM for current day machines [05:33] hmm [05:33] Also on your driver *duh* [05:33] c_webkit, otherwise 1 gig works fine [05:34] I have 4GB ram, I use 4GB swap coz I think that's big enough [05:34] Fiddle with it, you'll find for most tasks it really won't make no nevermind [05:34] I am trying to update my apt list for KDE Nightly neon I have the correct key installed but I still get 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 778978B00F7992B0; anyone have a clue what I need to do [05:35] Hai !!!!!!!! [05:35] How come the vimtutor doesn't do anything when I run it? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [05:35] bruce_ yeah i have on 2GB of ram, and rarely does my system use swap, mostly after running for (seriously) a week or so, then i run a ram intensive app like a graphics tool, then it uses the swap [05:35] <_Vi_> Shakedown: just keep pressing j or page down [05:36] bruce_ but mostly that's because linux tries to offload as much as it can to the ram to make the system run nice and quick [05:36] * mindrape has the same story as rdw200169 but with 1.5gig of RAM. [05:36] Nothing, it says "/tmp/tutorfJ6562" 0 lines, 0 characters at the bottom though [05:36] adnan: clamav does have a 'remove' option [05:36] <_Vi_> Shakedown: its just a online text file, [05:36] however, it doesn't reccommend it and for good reason --even on windows removing files haphazardly is dangerous to system health [05:37] nick [05:37] I just got the vim-runtime package, I want to do the tutorial! [05:37] Bsims: I just had to "update" my key I am not sure if they updated it or what http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x778978B00F7992B0 [05:37] but otoh, then you get stuck like I am, with a compromised part of the system that is not clear how to fix [05:37] <_Vi_> Shakedown: that is the tutorial lol [05:37] A blank screen? [05:37] tmg1|taylor: with any compromised system your best bet is a WIPE AND START FRESH. [05:37] bruce_, many times, i shut off the swap to keep the graphics app quick, it doesn't cause problems, the kernel just clears out the cruft and uses the ram instead [05:37] <_Vi_> its blank ?! [05:37] duanedesign: I'll try that [05:37] ok [05:37] mindrape: that will mean buying new hardware at this point and I'd like to at least try to avoid that ;) [05:38] So maybe I'm confusing vim with emacs, but one of them has an "interactive" tutorial built-in. I thought that was the vimtutor though? [05:38] new hardware for a reinstall? [05:38] yes [05:38] bruce_ b/c ubuntu only needs about 500M to run, the rest just makes it quicker ;) [05:38] <_Vi_> Shakedown: hang on let me see if i get the same problems.. one sec [05:38] bruce_ and my ram is significantly faster than my swap, so I prefer the ram at all costs ;) [05:38] i stupidly trusted ubuntu default installer's partition setup, now my mostly full hd is full [05:38] and only one partition [05:38] Ubuntu runs on 384m of ram [05:39] i see [05:39] thanks for the info [05:39] I need help on developing IRC client [05:39] otoh I didn't really know what to expect for a ubuntu install so underguessing partitionwise might have been painful down the road too [05:39] hello... does kubuntu support wireless connections better and easier (interface and installation wise) THAN ubuntu ? (both last versions) [05:39] bruce_: head on over to #yourprogramminglanguageofchoice [05:39] MeVsTheVoices, i was just using a random number i would know would be correct; that and no one installs 384M of ram, usually 512M that's how i came up w/the number [05:39] thanks [05:40] <_Vi_> Shakedown: hmmm what command are you using exactly for that ? [05:40] vimtutor [05:40] <_Vi_> ah mine comes up as text [05:40] 256+128 thats how I came up with that, satisfy [05:40] So...is there this interactive tutorial for vim? [05:40] Hai !!!!!!! [05:41] MeVsTheVoices, well, to be quite literal, i successfully installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a system w/128M of ram, and it ran like garbage [05:41] Anyone know if there will be unofficial kde3 packages for jaunty? I am sorry but kde4 gives me hives [05:41] MeVsTheVoices, it was a very very old laptop, i ended up going w/Vector Linux [05:41] mindrape: to reiterate---my virus problem is my fault, in case I'm not making that clear [05:41] Oh I'm not saying it doesn't run like shit, 384 is enough to hold kernel, Gnome, and 2-3 apps Max [05:41] hello... does kubuntu support wireless connections better and easier (interface and installation wise) THAN ubuntu ? (both last versions) [05:41] tmg1|taylor: on multiple fronts, yes... [05:41] <_Vi_> Shakedown: vimtutuor is interactive, but all it is a online (not online as web) text file, it kinda looks like a man page, that's it. nothing too fancy [05:41] Hai !!!!!!!! [05:42] M - can I help you? [05:42] rdw200169: what gui do you use? [05:42] y [05:42] DarkTerror: No [05:42] MeVsTheVoices, so let's agree that 500M would be enough to run well? [05:42] Bsims, what do you mean? [05:42] thank you [05:42] _Vi_: So...why is my vimtutor page blank? [05:42] Bsims, that install i was referring to was a normal Gnome install [05:42] rdw200169: No, 384 is enough to run well, it really doesn't matter, almost everyone nowadays is going to have more [05:42] rdw200169: Ah if you want something lighter try lxde its quite nice [05:42] hey favorite music programs that support ipod touch v2? and best support for stl editing? (sorry for second question :P) [05:43] MeVsTheVoices, thank you for pointing out the obvious ;) [05:43] DarkTerror: they are both ubuntu just one uses gnome and one uses kde... so I'd say the support is about the same unless you prefer the KDE apps for network management over Gnome ones... ? [05:43] Bsims, yeah, i tried all that, i.e. Xubuntu, etc... [05:43] <_Vi_> Shakedown: run 'dpkg -l *vim*' in a terminal, pastebin the results [05:43] Bsims, but getting inside that '128M' windows is pretty hard [05:43] Eww [05:43] _Vi_: pastebin? [05:43] tmg1|taylor, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [05:43] !pastebin [05:43] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:43] Bsims, instead of spending hours getting there, i just went w/Vector linux, which support 64M of ram [05:43] adnan: thanks [05:44] rdw200169: /me nods fair enough ever try wmaker it's a fave of mine [05:44] tmg1|taylor, i think the remove option must be a windows exclusi [05:44] tmg1|taylor, np [05:44] <_Vi_> mindrape: i think he was talking to me but ty :) [05:44] mindrape: yea .. i knew that it's just ubuntu with KDE... but heard some rumors that ubuntu would suck at wireless .. but problem solved now :), installing ubuntu [05:44] Shadowpillar dpkg -l *vim* > info.txt [05:44] hey [05:44] mindrape, thanks...that works... [05:44] did you guys know vi is the center of evil? [05:44] DarkTerror: it all depends on the card you have... some chipsets have better support than others. [05:44] Bsims, this was not my computer, i was trying to get a friend back on the internet after Windows Pro crashed [05:44] eh? [05:44] Geoffrey2: np [05:45] Bsims, and he was not a linux guy ;) [05:45] <_Vi_> Shadowpillar: he meant Shakedown not you [05:45] bruce_: heh Vim for ever [05:45] thx for your help, mindrape [05:45] rdw200169: Heh I can see dat [05:45] bruce_ i beg to differ sir, i use Vim all day long [05:45] <_Vi_> too many shadows in here [05:45] <_Vi_> :) [05:45] user9: Hi.. Are you new to the workd of computers also :) [05:45] yes _Vi_ [05:45] DarkTerror: mine works by default out of the box flawlessly... I help about 10 people a day in here though w wireless problems... [05:45] hahaha [05:45] Hi anyone who knows how to convert .flv to mpeg2 [05:45] :) [05:45] you guys don't get it? [05:45] * Bsims grins and says Esc Alt Meta Ctrl Shift [05:45] it's a joke [05:45] newfedora10: ffmpeg [05:45] user9: keyboard is used to type and mouse to point just the basics :) [05:45] e_vi_l [05:45] ok, some people are old, and some people failed their vim class :p [05:45] the center of evil [05:45] bruce_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:45] bruce_: Heh there is an official vim fork called elvis [05:45] bruce_: we got it but we just dont find it as humorous as you do.. [05:46] ok never mind [05:46] !offtopic [05:46] my bad.... [05:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:46] mindrape: its one of the oldest traditions in unix [05:46] os so it's wrong saying ubuntu is linux eh? [05:46] ubuntu is GNU, with linux kernel [05:46] hey favorite music programs that support ipod touch v2? and best support for stl editing? (sorry for second question :P) [05:46] decay: Not wrong its just not precise... [05:46] mindrape, do you happen to know if there's a sort option there...to sort by size? I didn't see any such option in the man page... [05:46] No, its not wrong saying its linux, it is linux, its not UNIX [05:46] Geoffrey2: sort -u [05:46] K so I pastebin'd it [05:46] Hey, I recently got a laptop with vista... really, really want to get ubuntu on it. I downloaded 8.10-desktop-i386.iso through the torrent, and slowly burnt it onto a cd, when i boot off the cd, it freezes when i select any of the options (like check CD for defects, run ubuntu, install ubuntu - it does not freeze when i start a memory test) [05:47] Veritas718, i think Songbird supports that, i'm not sure, i know it does support other Ipods [05:47] hey favorite music programs that support ipod touch? [05:47] Geoffrey2: pipe it to that so throw | sort -u at the end of it. [05:47] it isnt linux..just uses the kernel [05:47] _Vi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108457/ [05:47] Amarok [05:47] the laptop comes with AHCI turned on in the bios [05:47] if it were to be shipped with with GNU Hurd, it wouldnt be called linux at all [05:47] if I have a package, and it has tons of file, how can I find a particular function in that package? [05:47] flack:the laptop comes with AHCI turned on in the bios [05:47] grep or find? or something like that? [05:48] * Flak checks on that, thank you Veritas718 [05:48] Veritas718: take a look at gtkpod's website all of them use the lib from them to talk to it [05:48] bruce_: dpkg -S *sometoolinapackage* [05:48] Bruce, apt-cache showpkg [05:48] no [05:48] well iwas wondering preference [05:48] hold on [05:48] he wants a function in the files [05:48] Bruce, or do you want to see the function of one of the depends [05:48] like which interface you liked [05:48] so I cd in the folder right [05:48] Bruce, no [05:48] k onda [05:48] coz I have irssi source downlodae [05:48] hola :D [05:48] Bruce, I thought you were doing something else. [05:48] <_Vi_> Shakedown: if you type gvim do you get anything? [05:48] I wanna know how to handle the command privmsg [05:48] bruce_: you need to loop through files and grep [05:48] Bruce, okay you want to install irssi from source? [05:49] _Vi_: I don't have it, it can be found though. [05:49] no, bruce_ is looking for a function in the source code [05:49] i th ink [05:49] Bruce, wrong' user sry [05:49] decay, bruce_ ahh I see my bad [05:49] bruce_, just /msg [05:49] grep "somefunction" * <--- in the directory [05:49] shouldt 8.10 support AHCI though? [05:49] bruce_: what are you trying to do? [05:49] that's what I want [05:49] grep "somefunction" [05:49] mindrape: the function is inside a file...but there are many files [05:49] let me try [05:50] decay: so * will do it :) [05:50] oink oink [05:50] do I need the quote? [05:50] bruce_: try running this in irssi's source directory: grep -nHR "function-name" . [05:50] <_Vi_> Shakedown: hmmm i'd do 'sudo apt-get install vim*' and see if that fixes it. [05:50] do I need quotes? [05:50] yes please. [05:50] bruce_: no, but you will need them if what you are searching for contains spaces [05:51] ok [05:51] is the function case sensitive? [05:51] bruce_: yes [05:51] ok [05:51] Veritas718, AHCI was indeed on, trying again with it on IDE [05:51] bruce_: although you could use -inHR instead of -nHR to make it case-insensitive [05:51] bruce_: use grep -i to turn case sensitivity off [05:51] * mindrape introduces bruce_ to the manpages... man grep [05:51] _Vi_: Wow, a ton of dependencies I [05:52] _Vi_: Oh well, forget it [05:52] Thanks for your help though [05:52] <_Vi_> yea well its not like windows didnt have a ton of dependencies (DLLS) [05:52] Shakedown: Just install 'vim' not vim* (unless you want the GUI and stuff) [05:52] flak, i would think that it shouldnt matter but let me knwo im about to install too [05:52] <_Vi_> anytime [05:52] I am looking for help upgrading to phpgd2 [05:52] I am on hardy heron [05:52] it's been a minute now.... and still haven't found anything... [05:53] Shakedown: the vim that comes with Ubuntu is vim-tiny, it's... not a very good rendition of vim (and it likely doesn't include vimtutor stuffs) [05:53] Phh, rubbish - now it works [05:53] bruce_: did you include the . at the end of the command? [05:53] huh? [05:53] I "sudo apt-get install vim" and got it now - thanks! [05:53] no... [05:53] Veritas718, I'm still getting the same scenario [05:53] what I did was grep -nHR PRIVMSG [05:53] Thanks Flannel [05:53] yeah i didnt think it should matter [05:53] bruce_: that was necessary.

[06:17] * MeVsTheVoices to google [06:17] so i was wondering, if i install ubuntu, would it be possible to run both operating systems from the external hdd?

[06:17] alexb92: possibly [06:17] frybye: Your 'parently not the only one [06:17] Sensor: yeah I actually prefer the alternate cd, as I got started with Debian [06:17] MeVsTheVoices, dang you and your fast internet, dang you! [06:17] alexb92: you running osx on a pc? [06:18] frybye: There is a few solutions posted in people's replies [06:18] MeVsTheVoices, the page was still loading for me! [06:18] Bsims, thanks. Is the minimal only if your internet connection is slow? [06:18] frybye, there's also this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3716970 [06:18] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: like that's so rare [06:18] i'm just asking because i was thinking about trying it. [06:18] Sensor: No, the minimal is the alternate CD installer, without any packages on the CD itself (so it downloads everything off the internet) [06:18] Sensor: it will leave you with a command line install and expect you to install the rest yourself [06:19] Bsims: That's not true. [06:19] Well, it could be. But isn't necessarily true. [06:19] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: hehe [06:19] * Bsims nods true enough... [06:19] on both sides [06:19] Flannel, thanks. [06:19] Bsims: It gives you identical options to the alternate CD. [06:19] Sensor: lets turn this around what do you want? [06:19] _Vi_: i'm not sure how well it would work on my single core cpu and anemic ram [06:19] rdw200169: soloutions tend to be for older versions of ubuntu..hmmm..? [06:19] Sensor, why not just install ubuntu-server without any of the server options, w/the linux-generic package, it's exactly what your talking about [06:20] Sensor: and remember Ubuntu will mail you the cd/dvd [06:20] for free [06:20] frybye, yes, but the PulseAudio configurations persist [06:20] Bsims, I want an install without a desktop. [06:20] rdw200169: As is the alternate CD with a command line install. [06:20] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: better than vista i would think, but that's OT for here :) [06:20] * Bsims nods sounds like you want the server version [06:20] sellyoursoul: yes i am , i have the retail dvd and it works [06:20] Flannel, yes, but that's difficult... [06:20] rdw200169: Er... no? [06:20] rdw200169, the server is the same install without the desktop? [06:20] hey rdw200169 [06:20] Or take a normal version and remove X [06:20] Flannel, well, i guess no harder than installing linux-generic post-install of ubuntu-serer [06:20] Sensor: you are wanting a command line only version? [06:21] alexb92: does it work well, or is it just a play thing? [06:21] rdw200169: Its easier. Select "install a command line system" from the boot menu. [06:21] jgreen, hey [06:21] rdw200169: No swapping of kernels or anything afterwards. [06:21] what do u mean? [06:21] back to the gd issue... I have gd talking to apache the issue is its old [06:21] and when I look at PPAs they might be the same old gd packages [06:21] * Bsims tends to favor X and either wmaker or lxde for servers that way I have X if I need it [06:21] alexb92: i mean does it run well, without any major problems? [06:22] jgreen, that's a matter i cannot solve, reluctantly. [06:22] Bsims, yes, I've done it already by 'removing' the desktop afterwards but wanted it done initially. [06:22] I know [06:22] jgreen, your only other option is probably installing the whole mess from source [06:22] rdw200169: so what does that mean about "PulseAudio configs persist..?" the problem cant be fixed or ?? [06:22] yeah it runs fine, the only thing it does do occasionally is disconnect from the internet which involves a reboot to fix [06:22] I found this [06:22] http://cumu.li/2008/5/13/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu [06:22] and sometimes settings change if i dont lock them [06:22] but besides that it runs fine [06:22] * Bsims nods as Flannel said install a command-line only system [06:22] no problems at all [06:22] rdw200169: sorry I am a relative newbie and dont have that much background knowledge.. [06:22] <_Vi_> Bsims: wmaker is pretty nice, I like FVWM-Crystal too, and Icewm, flux is ok too i guess :) [06:23] Bsims,Blannel,rdw thanks for your help, gotta headache for now. goodbye. [06:23] I tried it... I probably have to get rid of a bunch of modules [06:23] frybye, what i mean is, the tips about how to change the pulseaudio configuration should not change [06:23] Sensor: You want the alternate CD. There's an option (in the F5 menu on recent versions... maybe f4? One of them) to install a "command line only" system. That's exactly what you want. [06:23] in order to make it compile properl [06:23] i c thanks rdw200169 [06:23] _Vi_: heh install lxde if only for its filemanager... thats a loverly bit of software [06:23] ill go try this stuff.. c u [06:23] <_Vi_> got that too [06:23] <_Vi_> :) [06:23] frybye, if you pastebin your pulseaudio config, i can try to help [06:23] alexb92: i have to try that. you say you're running from an external drive. you have any info (a link) on doing that? [06:24] no i dont [06:24] but if ur willing [06:25] i can help u install it on ur computer if u wish [06:25] pendrivelinux.com [06:25] i'm willing. let's go.

Is installing via alternate cd in a seperate partition, then chrooting into it for building the best approach? [06:30] rdw200169, i was following this wiki, except i run into this problem... [06:30] Hey all, i just downloaded ubuntu 8.10, and i chose the "Install inside windows" option, now how do i boot it? [06:30] Sensor: Virtualization may be a better approach. [06:30] you can do it in virtualbox if you like [06:31] Sensor, why not just install something like virtual box or vmware and do it there in a vm? [06:31] that may be quicker for you [06:31] phantom: you can just reboot once its done [06:31] afroken, can you pastebin the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [06:31] rdw200169, that wiki said " Intrepid Ibex uses only nvidia-glx " [06:31] when dbus goes wild [06:31] it attacks [06:31] and it will give u 2 choices for which to choose from [06:31] afroken, sorry, didn't know that, i'm still on 8.04 ;) [06:31] there should be ubuntu and windows xp or something like that [06:31] i got disconnected.

[06:38] rdw200169, this is my current xorg [06:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/108469/ [06:38] bsusa: i gave you your answer [06:38] it's like 1 or something. i still don't have my clock figured out. [06:38] 1 am === crash is now known as Guest71942 [06:38] thats ftp though [06:38] isnt it? [06:39] what's the difference [06:39] question about samba actually if no one minds :p, how do i set up so that i have full control of the folders inside my shared folder?? [06:39] afroken, ah, from the old one, it specifies the video driver, the new one does not [06:39] afroken, that looks pretty normal [06:39] shared folders are the same thing [06:39] rdw200169, i used the old xorg - got "no nvidia modules found" and rebooted into the current xorg [06:39] If I wish to chroot, is there any advantage an install (into partition) vs. using debbootstrap? I trust the alternate CD more than a debootstrap script. [06:39] sellyoursoul: ohk here its 5:40pm friday [06:39] how can i enter a network path in a program if i use ftp? [06:39] afroken, that, is strange [06:39] rdw200169, afroken check out xrandr as the control mechanism for video.. [06:39] what [06:40] I have a few sound module questions, anyone hip to the "lsmod" output of sound modules? [06:40] afroken, the new one is using the nv driver, the log for the old one, is probably in Xorg.1.log (etc...) [06:40] alexb92: do the kangaroos hide out when it's hot? [06:41] im using mythvideo over a network, so if i enter a network folder in the video storage section it should come up with the videos in it, without a path it wont work [06:41] rdw200169, i tried to enable nvidia on this new one as well, so i guess the log would refer to the new one [06:41] does anybody play xmoto [06:41] afroken, can you verify if the nvidia.ko file even exists? [06:41] rdw200169, sure, tell me how? [06:41] bsusa: so figure out what the path is [06:42] afroken, for example, if you modprobe nv, then hit the tab key a few times, it *should* mention nvidia as an option [06:42] rdw200169, lsmod | grep nvidia [06:42] gives nothing [06:42] sellyoursoul: they usually sleep in the bushes or near the water banks to cool down otherwise they are always on the move [06:42] afroken, of course, it's not loaded! [06:42] i cant but ftp://Mythbuntu/videos as a path [06:42] rdw200169, nvidia-agp nvidiafb nvram [06:43] type "ifconfig" [06:43] look for your IP [06:43] make sure you know what port it goes through on === crash is now known as Guest91604 [06:43] Hey, whats the best method to burn an ubuntu .iso: Session-At-Once, Track At Once, TAO with zero-pregap, or Raw writing? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:43] afroken, interesting...

[06:44] rdw200169, i will give you more background- i installed server then added xfce, finally added ubuntu-desktop so its not the most conventional system [06:44] alexander, you could certainly write a script for that, but it's beyond the scope of this channel [06:44] afroken, well, as a (relatively) reliable back door, you can try installing nvidia drivers with envyng === julio_ is now known as JulioNeto [06:44] oh any refrences i could read up on for that? [06:44] i dont know where to start [06:44] afroken, it usually has a very high chance of success [06:45] run a script [06:45] rdw200169, ok, envy , apt-get install?

[06:48] jim_p, you could certainly compile a custom one, but it's not necessary [06:48] afroken, sudo lshw will tell you what kind of card.. the latest nvidia drivers work much better than the 173 or 177 driver.. I believe if you add the medibuntu repos they have the latest driver (180.xx) available. [06:48] alexander, abs-guide [06:48] Sensor I wouldnt recommend it, i ran into endless problems thats why i ended installin ubuntu-desktop [06:48] okay [06:48] nickrud, and generic does not adapt! it has more options to include all sorts of cpus [06:48] ciao a tutti [06:48] scunizi, true that, you [06:48] scunizi, *yo ;) [06:48] afroken, you mean with the server install?

But it's all automagic stuff to me [06:49] Sensor, afroken, only difference b/w server and desktop is, A) the lack of ubuntu-desktop on one and B) the addition of linux-server on the other [06:49] rdw200169, I've installed the 180.11 for my 8200 direct from the nvidia site.. if done right it's pretty easy.. but getting to know what is right is a pain.

They stopped making kernels specifically for each kernel after the kernel provided techniques to identify the cpu and set itself up properly. They switched somewhere around 6.10 I think [06:55] alexb92: wb. sorry, i keep getting disconnected. [06:55] jim_p: yes [06:55] afroken, list the medibuntu repo's in your system .. refresh .. then you should have the nvidia 180 driver available. [06:55] afroken, OK thanks. That's 8.1 or 8.04 lts?

I need a portable image viewer that allows for library creation. Cornice portable is good but it only goes through file directories - no tagging or overall list creation. This is vista by the way. If it's an annoyingly offtopic question feel free to direct me...

I dont understand what im doing wrong, can somone help me please [07:18] paul68, it's a pretty simple layout, you run the script, it checks what ssid is being used, according to NetworkManager, and based on the if statement that corresponds to the network name, it runs the function to either setup or teardown the proxy [07:18] jim-p, alrite i will check it out [07:18] chronofire, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:18] rdw200169: and how do I run this script automaticly? [07:19] oh SlicnesS theme is good. [07:19] if you tell me what the a) name of your wireless interface and b) the ssid's and which has a proxy, i can adjust the script accordingly [07:19] my backup problem now is with thunderbird mail backup, does anyone know how to backup the mail? [07:19] how can i get a package's info (like version information) via apt-get? for example, i know ubuntu has package libqt4-dev, but i would like extended information on that package (is it qt 4.1 or qt 4.3?). [07:19] how do I send an instant message through the network to my other computer in terminal? [07:19] maodun, apt-cache show packagename [07:19] maodun: apt-cache show package (or showpkg for less description more packaging info) [07:19] jim_p: ??? [07:20] jim_p hm not bad i guess but howcome it looks so much different then the other one? Tint and Conky are nothing visual? [07:20] can someone help me fix my mbr so i can just boot windows, i broke grub using partition manager? [07:20] thanks jim_p and Flannel! [07:20] paul68, you can /msg me that if you wanat [07:20] how do I recover everything in a directory that I just deleted by acident? === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:20] how do I send an instant message through the network to my other computer in terminal? [07:20] paul68, then, you just run the script right quick to switch it, for example, this can be done in System -> Preferences -> Sessions [07:21] chronofire, tint is a taskbar thing and conky is a system monitor [07:21] Hi all, I've got a printing problem here. I connected to an HP2420 laserjet which is detected alright. However it doesn't print. /var/log/messages shows errors related to ecryptfs [07:21] how do I recover everything in a directory that I just deleted by acident? [07:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/108479/ === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:21] rdw200169, this is too simple to run in the background as a loop that is checking for what network it's on...

[07:22] How do I setup wireless thorugh terminaL? [07:22] rdw200169: ok thanks [07:22] energY: use iwconfig [07:22] rdw200169, what do you call the alt-tab function in compiz? [07:23] iwconfig [07:23] energY: and/or /etc/network/interfaces === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:23] jim_p i like this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GAIA?content=63246 is it hard to install it looks like it has several different things [07:24] The keyring is asking me for the old password. Why? [07:24] jim_p, in your sudden flurry of helping out, I'm not sure you got this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html it's the discussion about why there's no k8/k7 etc builds in ubuntu anymore === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:25] nickrud, yea i noticed it. thanks [07:25] Hi everyone. [07:25] Hi N3oXid. [07:26] chronofire, just download the 1st link and the one that says metacity next to it [07:26] Is someone using a wusb600n WiFi usb key with intrepid ? [07:26] chronofire, if you care, i use shiftie july redmond since last summer. i find it nice [07:26] I can't get this WiFi usb key working... [07:27] guys, i've broken grub, and my cd drive is broken so i can use my windows cd to fix my mbr, any suggestiosn? [07:27] jim_p sorry dont kno what that is. is it a theme>? [07:27] hey guys, what's the command to see what command that's not installed belongs to a package? [07:28] chronofire, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiftie+July+Redmod?content=87359 [07:28] Gnea: apt-file [07:28] Gnea, apt-file? but it will take ages to update its db before searching [07:29] Gnea: packages.ubuntu.com may be easier (second fieldset) [07:29] Can I remove all the sources from the repo list? [07:29] does anyone know how to send instant message in terminal to other networked computers? [07:29] energY: you could, but it wouldn't be very useful. [07:29] I can see a new interface (ra0), since I havec loded the correct module, but the WiFi dosent work. [07:29] jim_p cool im going to see if i can get these to work [07:29] * Gnea installs and runs apt-file update [07:29] Flannel: Why not? [07:29] Flannel: thanks :) [07:29] paul68, http://paste.ubuntu.com/108481/ [07:29] energY: Because you'd.... never get any updates? Oh, you mean deb-src? [07:29] jim_p: not worried about it taking awhile [07:29] Flannel: I can't compile, and apt-get update is slooow... [07:30] paul68, you should test it real quick on the terminal, i.e. python file.py or whatever [07:30] Flannel: yes, the ones with sourcecode. That is about haf of my repos. [07:30] energY: Right, deb-src, yeah, remove those without thinking twice. [07:30] chronofire, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiftie+July?content=83591 this is what my bro has [07:30] does anyone know how to send instant message in terminal to other networked computers? === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:30] energY: what are you on? a 486? [07:30] MethinX: Wall [07:30] aloha [07:30] whats wall? [07:30] MethinX: Bottom of 'man wall' [07:30] ok thanks [07:30] having trouble with 8.10 install [07:30] rdw200169: thanks under what name do I save this file? [07:30] paul68, you can even switch around what it does in the bottom of the file to see if it works right, i.e. if switch 'var_proxy_on' woth 'var_proxy_off' the test will change [07:31] jim_p yea these look cool but i cant get them to work lol im new to this [07:31] can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed [07:31] tijoev: please explain [07:31] paul68, whatever you want [07:31] chronofire, why? [07:31] paul68, for example, i used netman.py [07:31] first off, the partion program sees my ide drives as scsi [07:31] i get sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd instead of hda, hdb, hdc, and hda [07:31] tijoev: that's normal, it's using a scsi-emulation. it's a good thing. [07:31] ok [07:32] paul68, the bang at the top (#!/usr/bin/python) tells bash it's a python file, so if you give it execute (chmod +x) it will run w/python, even if you don't give it an extension [07:32] Gnea: Why is it emulating scsi? === gordon is now known as Guest7891 [07:32] do I leave grub set to the default hd(0) or change it to sdc? [07:32] tijoev: the way it works now, every storage device is now scsi, so it all gets put in a chain, so you can throw ide, sata and scsi at it and it'll just order them neatly [07:32] paul68, this can also run as user, so you don't need to use sudo [07:33] paul68, since it's only changing a gconf setting (yay!) [07:33] tijoev: it should be whatever sdc is mapped to in /boot/grub/device.map [07:33] jim_p im just not sure what i am supposed to do with the files i tried to put them in my template folder then open them [07:33] can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed [07:33] rdw200169: ok and now I just adapt it in my sessions and tell it to run and then I should be good to go right? === more is now known as less [07:33] can't tell because I cannot boot [07:33] paul68, it works in 8.04, it may throw dbus errors in 8.10, i don't know, if it does, i'm sorry [07:33] paul68, test it in the terminal real quick [07:34] rdw200169: no problem ok [07:34] energY: sanity. [07:34] paul68, if it doesn't have any errors, then yes [07:34] tijoev: then I'm not sure where you're at in the installation process... [07:34] paul68, the only problem is, that it must actually be connected to a wireless network to work, sometimes, NetworkManager doesn't connect until *after* the session starts [07:34] well, I partion my HDs then move forward [07:34] jim_p i tried to install this one i sent you and its only chaning the top of windows [07:35] set up a user account and password [07:35] okay [07:35] chronofire, extract them until you have a file with the themes name, and one or two subfolders inside it, named metacity and gtk2 [07:35] then there is a screen that reviews entries [07:35] paul68, what you can do, is put a launcher on your taskbar to run that script, or, you can make a cronjob to run that script every 5 minutes or something [07:35] rdw200169: ok [07:35] there is an advanced button for grub and proxy setup [07:35] chronofire, then this is the window border theme. [07:35] right [07:35] I click the buuton for grub and point it at sdc [07:35] jim_p shouldnt more have changed then just the border [07:36] which has all my necessary partitions [07:36] rdw200169: thanks my friend I will play arround with it and let you know what the outcome is work is calling again lol [07:36] paul68, good luck! [07:36] then I continues with the install [07:36] get to the restart button [07:36] chronofire, what file did you download? [07:36] restart [07:36] rdw200169: thanks and see you next time [07:37] paul68, if you look closely at the script, it's pretty self explanatory (at least i tried to make it that way) so you can make chagnes [07:37] rdw200169: I saw it thanks [07:37] and the boot fails at a revalidation error [07:37] tijoev: see if you can separate your steps with commas or something, you're making the channel scroll needlessly, please. [07:37] my though was grub === the6step|away is now known as the6step [07:37] jim_pthe first one and the one that said metal something next to it like you said now i have a folder called GTK 2.0 and one that has three tar.gz files [07:37] ok [07:37] Last night I visited a local Ubuntu Club, used my laptop computer T42 with NetworkManager and left it hibernating. Today I thawed it at home in my LAN with DSL access. Now my T42 cannot ping to neighboring computer in this LAN and Firefox reports: "Firefox can't find the server at www.gnome.org." But Firefox at address http://fritz.box.fon states also: "Internet connected since 25 min to IP address 91.37.144.190." What goes wrong here? [07:38] tijoev: so let me get this straight - you installed to sdc, and now grub is giving an error on boot? or is it trying to boot grub? [07:38] bullgard4, is there anything in /etc/resolv.conf? [07:38] chronofire, extract EVERYTHING until you get to files and folders. no tar.gz anywhere [07:39] well the boot fails. dunno if it is grub or boot. use to my old suse distro which used grub to boot [07:39] bullgard4: did you re-init your network connection? [07:40] jim_p alrite now i have 4 folders one gtk-2.0 then the rest are gaia4Gnome folders [07:40] tijoev: and you're sure you install grub to the mbr of sdc? [07:41] chronofire, give me the link again to download it andi will guide you with the same file [07:41] tried installing grub to /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc/sdc1/. The same result [07:41] sorry /dev/sdc2/ this my root partition [07:41] tijoev: what is your boot order in the bios? [07:42] jim_p okay thanks http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GAIA?content=63246 [07:42] not sure. i did not change anything in my bios. ubuntu recognized the old suse partition at sdc. just left them alone. [07:43] chronofire, do you see that GAIA folder containing a gtk2 folder in it? [07:43] does grub go to the root partition ? [07:43] jim_p yea [07:43] tijoev: you should check your bios and make sure that sdc (probably ide-2) is set to boot after CDROM, or however you have it setup [07:44] tijoev: the boot order is very important. not usually, it should get installed to the mbr of the disk, not the partition, although it can [07:44] chronofire, open a terminal, or alt+f2 and type nautilus ~/.themes and move that GAIA folder in there [07:44] tijoev: but i have to go - check your boot order and make sure it's booting from the right device [07:44] dpme [07:44] done [07:45] thanks will do. [07:45] jim_p okay done [07:46] chronofire, check if you have the theme then [07:47] hello [07:47] jim_p how? by seeing if i can load it under the appearance preferences? [07:47] yea [07:47] it doesnt show up there [07:48] or do i install it thru custom [07:49] Gnea: I do not know what do you mean by " re-init your network connection". Please elaborate. [07:50] hdd health question: a SMART raw value for Load_Cycle_Count of 2693968065384 is a wee bit high for any internal drive, no? [07:51] jim_p i got to someting again that says this theme will not look as intended becuase the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed [07:51] chronofire, :'( [07:51] rdw200169: Yes. It's contents are: "search alien c-base.org cbrp.c-base.org c-base.org; nameserver 42.42.42.1" [07:52] jim_p so what engine am i missing [07:52] bullgard4, can you use nslookup to find google.com? [07:52] i tried installing several but none of themw orked [07:52] chronofire, open a terminal and type this cat .themes/GAIA/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | grep engine and pastebin what it says === the6step is now known as the6step|away [07:53] HIRE ME PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!

Im using the latest Ubuntu and have checked the power management settings and everything seems to be ok there..

[07:54] M3TAPHYS1CS, You may want to check your logs in /var/log [07:54] hmm how can i check [07:54] ah ok [07:54] rdw200169: (c-base is the name of the local Ubuntu computer club.) '~$ nslookup google.com; ;; connection timed out; no services could be reached." [07:54] chronofire, omg! give me the link again!

[07:56] rdw200169: No, I cannot ping 42.42.42.1.

[07:57] BULLE, neither can I [07:57] bullgard4, yeah, try ifdown [07:57] bullgard4, then ifup [07:57] bullgard4, wth is 42.42.42.1? [07:57] histo, it was the dns server reported by his resolv.conf file [07:58] histo: 42.42.42.1 is an Internet address. [07:58] any good torrent applications? [07:58] rdw200169, thats a weird IP. Have him try to use 4.2.2.1 as his dns address [07:58] bullgard4, its not responding though. There is a problem with your DNS [07:58] Methinkx, kTorrent is pretty good [07:58] histo, it's likely whatever the dhcp server gave him, but i think he's on the wrong subnet anyway, so renew dhcp address [07:58] bullgard4, try using 4.2.2.1 for dns [07:58] thnx [07:59] 42.42.42.1 doesnt exist. [07:59] chronofire, it uses the picmap and mist theme engines. open synaptic and install gtk2-engines-qtpixmap and gtk2-engines-mist [07:59] When pinging to check connections, ping google.com or somethiong like that. [07:59] CoUrPsE|DeAd, it was probably on their private subnet, he had the computer at lug meeting, who knows what they did that [07:59] CoUrPsE|DeAd, we did that early [07:59] CoUrPsE|DeAd, didn't work [07:59] chronofire, select some other theme meanwhile [08:00] jim_p i think i did this altready bur le me check again [08:00] Tried setting nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf ?

But i'm tied up right now. 4.2.2.1 is one that can be used temporarily but it looks like he has dns problem. [08:01] CoUrPsE|DeAd, networking doesn't even work, so resolv.conf is a dead issue [08:01] histo: i may have just lost wireless connection that caused wget to close, is there a way i can disable the prompt asking me to enter a password?

[08:02] hey guys how come my audio devices aint working?

[08:09] how do i overwrite a file [08:10] java version "1.6.0_10" [08:10] Flak: you don't need *nix installed, its an option on the CD (the boot menu, you know it) boot to the CD, choose "Check CD for Defects" [08:10] spawn: With what? [08:10] rdw200169: I cannot ping google.com. (But I can ping it from the neighboring computer in the same LAN.) I believe this is caused from the wrong address in resolv.conf. [08:10] jim_p pretty nice [08:10] !usplash | BlackDalek [08:10] BlackDalek: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [08:10] rdw200169, thanks. i now have a debian logo as a wall, got tired of cars :P [08:10] thanks chronofire === Marius is now known as Guest18610 [08:10] Flannel, ah yes, I know it too well.

[08:12] RabbitG, and not some "alternative" [08:12] bullgard4, in your resolv.conf [08:12] !java [08:12] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [08:12] error404notfound: x11 forwarding? [08:13] bullgard4, that's from opendns.com, a very very secure dns server [08:13] spawn: You should check to see if that file already points to the proper location [08:13] I'll go check it on this computer - I'll be back in a few minutes (Flannel I hope you're still here, thanks for the help so far) [08:13] Does anybody use HDAPS on their Thinkpad in order to stop disk write while it is in motion? [08:13] rdw200169: My DHCP server is Fritz!Box Fon (a German product). As DHCP did not work flawlessly, I issued fixed IP addresses for my local LAN, and this worked all right until this morning. [08:13] bullgard4, thanks for the backgroudn, that's fonera? [08:13] im updating drivers and i want to make sure its right so i just want to overwrite it Flannel [08:13] energY: that's not terminal.. I mean something like smbcopy [08:13] !java [08:14] bullgard4, like, the fonera router? [08:14] error404notfound: You don't have a screen? [08:14] any ideas for a fixing my screen? its usable just very annoying... [08:14] spawn: Alright, the proper way to do that would be to add f `ln -sf whatever` instead of ln -s whatever [08:14] error404notfound: I have, I don't have a GUI [08:14] trent1: Is it full HD? [08:14] rdw200169: I do not know the word 'fonera'. Put your question in other words, please. [08:14] phonera it is [08:14] error404notfound: Talking to yourself?:P TWM is not that big... [08:14] the free wifi initiative [08:15] rdw200169: I do not know anything about 'fonera router'. [08:15] thanks dude [08:15] energY: yup :P :D, naaah... I don't like any GUI, not even TUI, CLI rocks :D [08:15] bullgard4: They are a router provider [08:15] bullgard4, ah, i was thinking of something else [08:16] bullgard4, energY knows what i'm talking about ;) [08:16] no its not HD [08:16] bullgard4, so, you know the subnet, i'm assuming, so you can ping the router? [08:17] bullgard4, if you use the dns server i mentioned, it should clear things up, if you can ping the router, and the router can surf the net [08:17] Flannel: I got the same behavior when booting this computer off of it - I guess theres something screwy with my cd writer? === YaqmuR-PrenSi is now known as TehLiqe [08:17] Does anybody know the default kernel tree root directory? [08:18] bullgard4, man resolv.conf will tell you how to edit the file. all it should need is a nameserver line specifying that ip i suggested [08:18] Flak: that's a possibility. Do you have another burner you can try? If not, you can contact your LoCo and see about getting a CD from them. [08:18] can any guys tell me why I have so slow eclipse under my ubuntu [08:18] bullgard4, that, or another dns server that actually works ;) [08:18] i have an iMac that can burn images... i think [08:19] RabbitG, sorry, you should ask the developers, they will be able to help you mroe [08:19] RabbitG, try #eclipse [08:19] Flannel, actually - would it be possible to do it off a flash drive? [08:19] rdw200169: In resolv.conf I changed 42.42.42.1 to 208.67.222.222. Now '~$ ping google.com' works. [08:19] Flak: It is. Um, I'm not very intimate with the details, but they can be found on the first link ubottu is going to give you [08:19] ok, thanks [08:19] !install | Flak [08:19] Flak: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[08:20] rdw200169: :-) [08:21] Flannel, if I can't get a CD to work, I shouldn't try to get that to :) [08:21] * Flak finds the mac [08:21] bullgard4, in order to clear up what i mentioned earlier, this is what i was talking about, (the Fon got me on this): http://www.fon.com/en/ [08:21] well i have to come back later and try and figure it out i have to go for now, bye guys [08:22] rdw200169: And now Firefox can resolve also http://www.archive.org/index.php and all the other web addresses I was subscribing to. -- Thank you. [08:22] Flak: Another alternative is to ask your LoCo for a CD. That likely won't happen tonight, since they're likely asleep, but you can try and talk to them in #ubuntu-northcarolina https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NorthCarolinaTeam [08:22] aah black magic [08:22] bullgard4, it's safe to say that opendns is really reliable and safe, you can use that one just about anywhere on any network [08:23] Flannel thank you for all your help - if I see you tomorrow I'll let you know how it went :) [08:23] Flak: Good luck [08:23] bullgard4, check opendns.com to see what i'm talking about [08:23] I can get used to using ubuntu <3 [08:23] rdw200169: I had a short glance at http://www.fon.com/en/ and am somewhat confused what information it is to convey. I will read it again later when there is more time at hand. [08:24] bullgard4, they sell routers that make it easy to set up wireless mesh's [08:25] rdw200169: I have a faint idea about opendns.com. I will read it later more thoroughly. [08:26] Hi, how acn i play .flv files in ubuntu - i already have ubuntu restricted extras [08:26] rdw200169: Who sells "routers that make it easy to set up wireless mesh's"? LA fonera? [08:26] bullgard4, yes [08:27] bullgard4, also, open-mesh.com [08:27] lol flv works. thanks :) [08:27] rdw200169: Ah, I will read their website more thoroughly somewhat later. [08:27] <|Steve|> I just updated to 8.10 and a few things have broken for me. The first is that spamassassin now seems to rely on the URI perl module as per http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=6164 When I try to install URI from cpan, it fails. Any suggestions? === Veritatis`Away is now known as Veritatis [08:28] i have sound coming out of my computer like the computer speaker, how do i turn that off? [08:29] rdw200169: "09:06 < rdw200169> bullgard4, you should be on the interwebs now" <- What do you mean by 'interwebs'? [08:29] bullgard4, a funny way of saying 'internet' [08:29] |Steve|: liburi-perl is the package that contains URI.pm [08:29] bullgard4, now, i'm off to do korean homework (yay) [08:30] <|Steve|> Flannel: Oh. Well, it claims to already be at the latest version and yet spamassassin says, "Can't locate URI.pm in @INC" [08:30] rdw200169: Ah! Ok. Well, my router stated this since the beginning. But I could not believe it. -- Have fun! And thank you very much for your help! [08:31] |Steve|: If that fixes your issue, it appears that that dependency has been skipped, if you don't mind filing a bug about it... Hmm. [08:31] <|Steve|> Flannel: slocate URI.pm shows /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/URI.pm. That seems wrong. [08:32] |Steve|: liburi-perl shows for me of having /usr/share/perl5/URI.pm [08:32] |Steve|: something in /local/ seems very wrong indeed, yes. [08:32] <|Steve|> /usr/share/perl5/URI is a directory for me. [08:32] |Steve|: Check the output of apt-cache policy liburi-perl, does it look like its coming from the repos? [08:33] <|Steve|> 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages [08:33] <|Steve|> Flannel: I can only assume that line means it is. [08:33] |Steve|: ports... hmm, PPC? That... I suppose could be the reason. Try............ installing libapache2-mod-perl2 [08:33] !kde [08:33] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [08:33] <|Steve|> Flannel: Yes. [08:34] !kubuntu [08:34] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [08:34] |Steve|: that contains the file /usr/lib/perl5/APR/URI.pm [08:34] <|Steve|> Flannel: Installing. [08:35] <|Steve|> Flannel: Okay, that installed it (among other things). [08:36] |Steve|: gah. Right. Sorry about that. That'll drag in apache2.2-common and libapr1 [08:36] i have just installed GIMPShop from a deb package, how can i actually "run" it? [08:36] <|Steve|> That's okay, I already have apache installed. === DareDevil is now known as Guest17921 [08:38] <|Steve|> Flannel: Running the spamassassin command that failed, I get the same error. [08:38] hey guys [08:39] can i use ubuntu as a windows domain controller? [08:39] |Steve|: Odd indeed. I'm not familiar with spamassassin unfortunately. My recommendation would be to file a bug, see what they have to say (also, try posting on the forums, ubuntuforums.org) My next debugging step would be to get SA to output @INC, etc, etc. Normal debugging procedures. This may be a known problem by someone, and there may be a workaround already in place. [08:39] |Steve|: Already in place --- While filing the bug report, you may already find one (with a solution, etc) [08:40] when is reinstall vista on my vista partition, will it break the bootloader? === alcohol is now known as Guest62152 [08:40] <|Steve|> Flannel: Oh, it spits out what @INC is and it looks reasonable to me. [08:40] MaT-dg: Yes, but you can fix it by following the first command from this factoid [08:40] !grub | MaT-dg [08:40] MaT-dg: 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 [08:42] how to "slim down" Ubuntu? I use a 600MB RAM laptop, which WAS quite good for using Ubuntu in the past... but now, I notice that just after firefox, thunderbird, it began swapping [08:42] what is the kde equivalent for cheese? http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/cheese [08:42] any "slim down" guide, please [08:42] <|Steve|> Flannel: Forcing liburi-perl to --reinstall seems to have fixed the problem. [08:43] |Steve|: It's odd that it'd have something in local [08:43] stop the visual effects mostly will reduce the ram [08:43] <|Steve|> Flannel: I suspect that's from cpan installing something at some point in the past. [08:43] triplc, about ubuntu? remove stupid packages like festival etc [08:43] When I turn on visual effects, the text in Terminal and Emacs will sometimes screw up and not display properly. Any fix for this? [08:44] i disable all effect. in fact, i use dwm window manager (not gnome) === alcohol_ is now known as ethanol [08:44] triplc: I have effects disabled too. But is there any way I can turn on effects and not have these problems? [08:44] run ps -ef and top to find what are the services consuming the bandwidth [08:45] A pity, xchat-gnome crashes when trying to enable transparency of the background ): [08:45] ethanol: try using regular xchat instead === ethanol is now known as alcohol [08:45] im trying to install rt2860 drivers for my wireless and i followed the guide and i was still unable to have it work it just shows up now under restricted drivers (the guide i used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683085&page=5) [08:46] lstarnes: that thought never occured to me :x [08:46] or irssi [08:46] <|Steve|> Flannel: Thank you for your help. Coupled with http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SaUpdateKeyNotCrossCertified spamassassin seems to be working again. [08:46] Gonne give regular a try. [08:47] ethanol: mine x-chat works good with transparency [08:47] |Steve|: No problem. Glad it's solved. [08:47] <|Steve|> The other thing that's broken for me is XChat. The op and voice icons don't appear any more. [08:47] <|Steve|> The #xchat people are stumped. Since /usr/share/xchat doesn't exist, it should use the compiled in icons yet nothing appears for me any more. There's no mention of this in launchpad. [08:48] * Veritatis is away [BNC ON] === Veritatis is now known as Veritatis_ [08:48] |Steve|, did you install xchat-gnome or xchat? === Veritatis_ is now known as Veritatis [08:48] Cause xchat is working fine here for me now. [08:48] <|Steve|> alcohol: I believe just xchat. [08:48] <|Steve|> Yes, xchat-gnome is not installed. [08:48] |Steve|, can you verify? [08:49] Weird, I have op icons and such :< [08:49] <|Steve|> It's very disconcerting. [08:51] how do you do recursive del specific file ext in all subfolders? [08:52] im trying to install rt2860 drivers for my wireless and i followed the guide and i was still unable to have it work it just shows up now under restricted drivers (the guide i used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683085&page=5) [08:52] Mal3ko: man find [08:53] find does another thing [08:53] :D [08:53] find ./ -iname *.ext -exec rm {} \; [08:53] <|Steve|> Mal3ko: find /path/to/dir -name '*.ext' -exec rm -f '{}' \; [08:54] Flannel: I burned the amd64.iso to a cd on the mac, booted my laptop off of it, and it is actually checking the disc! [08:54] Is there some site that has extras to add to the taskbars? [08:54] |Steve| thank you :) [08:55] which is good, it means my 20 dollar cd writer is broken and not my laptop :) [08:58] :O [08:58] * Flak braces for the joins [09:00] Good morning, quick question :) ive got a dedicated server which I was going to reimage with 8.04 LTS minimal installation, now the hosting provider normal tampers with their images, customising to promote their products [09:00] is their a way after installing I can strip the installation down and clean out any modifications? === ahmed is now known as ahm3d === jim_p is now known as jim_p-away [09:01] (using SSH for this, no remote desktop etc) [09:01] hello [09:02] how can i fix this? i have driver from ubuntu installed [09:02] *** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card [09:03] perhaps your video card doesn't support it? [09:03] is it good to upgrade a package while it is in use? [09:04] i have radeon hd3650 [09:04] . [09:04] yao_ziyuan: no problem with that [09:04] ah right, have you used drivers from repo or ATI's website? [09:04] man, this single dot message seems not invented by me [09:05] repo [09:05] fosco_: what about config files read/write? [09:05] yao_ziyuan: you can upgrade a running program but changes will apply when you restart that program [09:05] well first check to see if YUY2 is supported with them, and perhaps consider if not trying install ones from ATI [09:06] ok [09:06] thanks [09:06] try a search on the forums as well, [09:06] im sure someone else has had the same problem, [09:06] i heard someone fixing this adding some lines to xorg.conf [09:07] fosco_: cool [09:07] possibly, Xorg is easy to configure [09:07] bye bye Gorlist [09:08] \o/ installing ubuntu on my laptop finally [09:08] after 6 hours of trying [09:08] gg Flak [09:09] ...after finding out that the computer i was using's cd writer was spitting out corrupted discs like it was anti-christmas or something [09:09] nice [09:10] floodbot wars?

I am going to reinstall Windows. Windows is hosted on C:/, there is also D:\ logical disc, and third partion is where Linux is hosted.

Then you could open n connections, each getting 1/n of the file. [10:02] gordonjcp: then the download speed are very low [10:02] |Steve|: that's basically it - some of them also mess about with networks settings [10:02] dinesh372: then something is wrong [10:02] dinesh372, no real need; you can get firefox plugin downthemall for easier downloading [10:03] as far as ive seen for downloads the cap is smaller for linux than windows [10:03] kaj: eh?

[11:01] lol [11:01] Ademan: no, the random seed starts at a random place in ram and just moves along, reading the data size for the requested number then moving along [11:01] generally it's from things like hard drive seek time or temperature [11:01] Ademan: thats how random numbers are made [11:02] Ademan, just had to poke [11:02] lol :-p [11:02] just in case [11:03] Hi, slightly confused on debootstrap [11:03] is there security issues i should be aware of when using IRC?

[11:18] I found the answer in a comment here (I added my own comment explaining what I did) http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=177#comments [11:18] !hcl | Guest98863 [11:18] Guest98863: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:19] To support a server running 8.04, I need to continuously backport packages from Jaunty. I'm wondering if there's a tool that can automatically keep track of new source packages and pdebuild them, is there anything like that? [11:19] ive spent like 5 hours now on this problem.... ive been through all the self-help websites [11:19] my Canon laser printer stopped working, don't know why. [11:19] Gorlist, learn something new every day [11:19] Guest98863: its not really the card you are driving, if you run lspci or lsusb depending on its interface, you will get an identifier which you can websearch [11:19] shubbar: what model? [11:20] yes... and i get rtl8180 [11:20] Guest98863: then websearch to see if that chip is supported, or how to set it up [11:20] uhg [11:20] i did [11:20] hi, is the pre-up directive in /etc/network/interfaces used to run scripts Prior to the interface going up ? [11:20] its Canon Lasershot LBP3300; its status monitor gives me this error "captstatusui Socket Error" [11:20] how am i supposed to use the package doc-gnome-hig ? [11:20] like ive said.... ive spent 5 hours on this [11:21] and this card is *still* not working [11:21] Guest98863: did you read the link I gave? It explicit on the rtl8180, 8185 etc [11:21] rbowes, glad its fixed. Wish ubuntu wouldnt hide such things tho, should be something to just add/remove hardware [11:21] yes... i just read it [11:22] so... i have to add an "x" to the end of the SSID? [11:22] also, certain packages require a patch, to backport from a newer debhelper to the 8.04 version [11:22] that's a pretty odd workaround [11:22] i have apparently broken network-manager, dpkg-reconfigure says that it is broken or not fully installed and i can't reinstall [11:22] and before that nm changed my hostname and broke stuff [11:22] Guest98863: The step-by-step guide is pretty self-explainatory. If you don't like the workaround, well... don't? [11:22] writing that patch isn't a problem, i was just wondering if i'd have to script this build system entirely myself, and if so, what would be the best way to go about doing it [11:22] apt-get install -f gives this http://p.zash.se/fiSIIQ.txt [11:23] hello. i downloaded ioquake3 from ioquake3.org (there is no package in the repositories) and installed it.

[11:42] ok, how about a support question: is there a fix for the flash 10 bug where it overlays everything no matter what (in firefox)? [11:43] has anyone run into problems with the restricted nVidia drivers? My system's screen with flash, then go to a "greyed out" state (like when you're doing a package install), then lock up for a min or so [11:43] baz_: yep, thats the way to do it [11:43] onetinsoldier: and if i delete that file and run reinstall dpkg fails [11:43] zash_: how about try reinstalling it, even though it's supposedly already installed? --> apt-get install --reinstall network-manager [11:43] also, if I add my DNS servers in network setup why are they not saved next time I reboot? [11:44] ociean it works fine now many thanks [11:44] oCean_ even [11:44] ActionParsnip, so no way to do it in ubuntu? [11:44] zash_: how about uninstalling it and then reinstalling it from scratch?

I would like to request that be put into the other "open with" menu in the right click - much more intuitive - how can i do that? [11:46] * oCean_ is out for lunch [11:47] onetinsoldier: it seems it's now working, thanks :D [11:47] baz_: log it as a bug, you'll get an email saying "is this a bug or functionality request" [11:47] !bug | baz_ [11:47] baz_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [11:47] and what is up with ubuntu wanting to reboot instead of just reloading services [11:47] ActionParsnip, cool [11:47] zash_: cool. you're welcome, although i didn't do anything really :-) [11:48] I tried the #ubuntu-eeepc channel, but no one replied. I'm still having that acpi issue. [11:48] so now that I'm ON topic no one is answering! [11:48] I installed ubuntu on my brothers computer, weird thing is that when ubuntu boots it hangs, but if i press a button it starts loading again, then stops. If i hold the button it keeps loading normally. Wtf? [11:48] im on a hp pavilion laptop [11:48] Whats the best, most flexible way to connect to a remote server through nautlis if I had full control of the remote server... would it be SFTP? [11:48] nesoi: what was the question? [11:48] onetinsoldier: thanks anyways [11:49] baz_: probably, not sure about nautilus but SFTP is a good protocol [11:49] zash_: sure :) [11:49] question was, if I update my dns servers in network setup, why are they not saved next time I reboot? [11:49] baz_: depends what protocol the server is using, you dont choose as you want [11:49] nesoi: because they're overwritten by the DHCP client [11:49] ActionParsnip: he said he had full control [11:49] ActionParsnip, i am a full admin on the server - i can do anything [11:49] nesoi: are you putting them in /etc/resolv.conf? [11:49] hemmet: edit your menu.lst so you can watch the bootup instead of it hiding behind the splash [11:49] gordonjcp: so how do I overrule the dhcp [11:49] gordonjcp: no, using the guil app [11:49] gui [11:49] ActionParsnip: how do i do that? [11:49] nesoi: no idea, I don't do GUIs [11:50] so if I put 'em in /etc/resolv.conf then they won't be overruled? [11:50] nesoi: i know something that might be a temp fix [11:50] ActionParsnip: you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst right? [11:50] what onetinsoldier ? [11:50] I connected to my server using SFTP and wanted to edit a file, however the file was read-only... is there a way thru nautlis to change that on the file, or over-ride it... or do i have to resort to the command line? [11:51] hemmet: add nosplash to your kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:51] hemmet: make a backup of the file first [11:51] nesoi: what is the dns config file that's not being saved? [11:51] hello, is there any problem with installing both the 32-bit kernel and the 64-bit kernel in the same ubuntu system? [11:51] baz_: you can mount sftp like a partition [11:51] or is it even possible? [11:52] onetinsoldier: I dunno... I just pasted in the opendns addresses into the admin/network gui [11:52] what is a good, cheap pcmia card that will work flawlessly with unbuntu 8.10? [11:52] baz_: if your username only allows read only access, thats a config on the server [11:52] nesoi: the temp fix i am thinking of is, if your /etc/resolv.conf file is being overwritten by dhcp every time you reboot [11:52] i have problem with my KVM installation [11:52] ActionParsnip, is mounting different than using the "connect to..." ? [11:53] ActionParsnip, I mean I know it is different, but does mounting give you more options/power [11:53] onetinsoldier: does dhcp overwrite resolv.conf? [11:53] I want it to give me the ip and gateway but not the dns [11:53] nesoi: if that's the case then i think the real fix is for you to configure the behavior of the dhcp client [11:53] baz+no, just makes it appear as a local resource [11:54] nesoi: i believe it does [11:54] onetinsoldier: how do I do that?? [11:54] that's sucky [11:54] nesoi: that's what i don't know. but the temp fix is the following command... chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf [11:54] what does that do? [11:54] ActionParsnip, you are right actually - to edit the read-only file even thru terminal, I have to sudo... is there a way to sudo thru nautlius on SFTP? [11:55] nesoi: although, i'm not actually certain that will work, but you are welcome to try it [11:55] but what does it do? [11:55] nesoi: look at the man page for the chattr command [11:55] baz_: you can gksudo nautilus [11:55] alright.... can anyone please tell me where i can get the ubuntu source for the 2.6.27-9 kernel? [11:56] baz_: keep its use to a MINIMAL for security [11:56] ActionParsnip, and that will use the server's sudo? [11:56] nesoi: A file with the ‘i’ attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, [11:56] oic [11:56] baz_: not sure, if you mount with better options then users will be able to write [11:56] sounds kludgy :) [11:56] baz_: which will eliminate the need to gksudo nautilus [11:57] ActionParsnip, u have been very helpful, thanks! [11:57] ActionParsnip, oh wait, what kind of mount options should i read up on? [11:58] nesoi: yes, i agree. hence, i would consider it just a 'temp fix' for now [11:58] baz_: check this: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users [11:58] baz_: its how to mount usb user writable but a mount is a mount [11:58] ActionParsnip, awesome [11:58] baz_: or read man mount [11:58] Guest98863, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.27-9.19 [12:01] Guest98863: apt-cache search 2.6.27-9 | grep source [12:01] can someone give me a quick idea on creating a shell script that well responed to install-eggdrop for example [12:02] Guest98863: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [12:03] heh heh.... that would work, if i had internet on the laptop ;) [12:03] then pull the deb down and whack it on cd or usb [12:03] then run: sudo dpkg -i [12:04] im just wondering how much of those packages i need off that site to make the rtl8180 driver [12:05] you need build essential, you can use your install cd as a repo [12:06] you can use the versions on the cd to get sorted, then update then recompile with the new compiler [12:07] hi [12:07] hi [12:07] how are u [12:08] ActionParsnip, I am trying to host a website on a ubuntu server. By default apache likes to be in /var/www, but like I was mentioning earlier there are strict perms on this folder. In general how do people deal with this? Do they mount the folder in special ways as you suggested earlier? Or do they just give their user account perms on that specific folder? Whats the SOP? [12:08] lets say i were to go plug my laptop in my router by cable..... can i just run one app-get and it will just download all the necessary source files? [12:08] baz_: just use sudo to copy stuff to it [12:09] hi [12:09] yo [12:09] baz_: its good to keep its permissions so that it keeps secure [12:09] How to format and mount an old HD. I've just installed an old HD, and using gparted, I deleted the partitions on it, and created a new partition. THis HD, will be used for backup only. Gparted shows me /dev/sda4 as extended and /dev/sda5 as ext3. How do I do to give a "label" to that hD (I want it to be name "backups"), and do I have to delete everything on it again to get rid of the boot which is always installed on it? [12:09] !label | arverne1 [12:09] arverne1: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [12:09] ActionParsnip, i'm going to be using ANT build tasks and all that crap for deployment - still try to do it with sudo? [12:10] Guest98863: you will probably want to do 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' in order to get an IP address from your router [12:10] baz_: sure, you will need sudo to copy to the folder as the folder is owned by root:root [12:10] arverne1: you use the 'tune2fs' command [12:10] well.... it works right when i plug it in [12:11] i just need to know what i should run to automatically download all necessary source for the latest kernel [12:11] arverne1: tune2fs -L [12:11] because i downloaded a driver that needs the kernel source [12:11] still not printing, it's Status Monitor gives Printer Error: Check the DevicePath of /etc/ccpd.conf [12:12] and the /etc/ccpd.conf file has a DevicePatch /dev/usb/lp0 [12:13] onetinsoldier: and what about "e2label" ?

[12:15] Guest98863: is there any way you can use a wired link to get fully updated and install the build-essential metapackage [12:15] baz_: and how would anyone comprise ur account? [12:15] who [12:15] vigo: wine will allow you to run windows apps [12:15] wine certainly not [12:15] yes... i can plug it directly into the router [12:16] Thank you [12:16] Sjimmie_, if compromising accounts was impossible then we would all login as root [12:16] how do i get kde to show up in my session manager? i just installed kdebase and all its depends [12:16] whitefang: why didn't you just install kubuntu-desktop? [12:16] vigo: you need ntfs-3g to get read / write access to the files on the windows boot [12:16] baz_: no we use personolized/limited accounts to protect us from our own stupidity, not for external security reasons [12:17] baz_: sudo protects you from doing something stupid becuase it requires you to type sudo before it and enter your password, so it makes you think twice [12:17] Ahhh,,,I could not install some ActuveX thing to make WorldWind open. [12:17] can anyone please help me to get my dual head working? I'm using Ubuntu Studio 8.10 and my GPU is an ATI Mobility Radeon x700. Cloning the desktop works fine, but from the moment I try configuring it for independent desktops X won't start anymore... [12:17] vigo: i very much douobt you will be able to execute the apps over the other system due to registry keys and dlls === Sjimmie_ is now known as Sjimmie [12:18] I am trying to identify my left Alt key on keyboard. i am a little confused, cause the alt key doesnt print out in xev a real key code. i pasted output from key in xev and my .Xmodemap. http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/393842/ can someone tell me where in .xmodemap i have to insert what to become the left alt key to run? [12:18] It is the same box, same drive [12:18] baz_: I believe you are looking at sudo in the wrong way [12:18] Sjimmie_, hmmm... really? thats all its for... so the windows way of clicking "ok" or "run" whatever achieves the same thing while being more convenient [12:18] baz_: you are looking at it like it is root [12:18] SlimeyPete: i dont know...should i? [12:19] how can i make my shell script download something to the directory i use the command in? [12:19] smokie: its alredy exists, use wget [12:19] scizzo-, isn't it kind'of [12:19] I got Ubuntu up and running again from Backups, maybe I can figure this out. [12:19] whitefang: that's the usual way to install KDE on Ubuntu. It'll install KDE & all the standard KDE apps, and it will add KDE to your session manager. However it will also alter your splash screen to say "Kubuntu" which might be annoying if you're in love with the colour orange :) [12:19] baz_: however sudo is a admin _tool_ for controlling the rights to and for special users......using sudo you can setup _rules_ that will tell the one user exactly what he has rights to work with by using sudo that might require root or admin priviliges [12:20] SlimeyPete: i am in love with the color orange :( [12:20] hello all [12:20] quick question === the6step|away is now known as the6step [12:20] baz_: no.... sudo != root [12:20] I Thank you kindly for the help. [12:20] whitefang: I think it's possible to get the old Ubuntu splash screen & login manager back afterwards, but I don't know the details [12:20] ActionParsnip, ah, so if i used wget "ftp.eggheads.org" for example then contine to tar -zxvf eggdropx.x.tar and it will untar it in the directly i used the bash script in? [12:20] baz_: sudo is a way to say (su "do") this [12:21] im having trouble running world of warcraft with wine...its all good, except i can't alt-tab and do other stuff...from what ive read, i think compiz might be to blame... [12:21] so i thought id try kde and see how that went [12:21] smokie: no you'd need to specify the full path to the file, and you dont need quotes [12:21] how can i add a custom command at boot, when the progy im trying to run is not in the system wide bin folder, i.e cd test;./test [12:21] scizzo-, interesting... by default tho it has equivalent rights as root... right? [12:21] baz_: for the first user account created on the machine.... [12:21] ActionParsnip, do you mine giving me an example? like how would i make it untar to the path the user im using? [12:22] smokie: you could write the script that wiil take a file path to get, and extract it automatically if you want [12:22] baz_: right, su = switch user, do = do as that use, have a look at /etc/sudoers [12:22] sivel_: couldn't you just symlink it to the bin folder? [12:22] how would i go about doing that? [12:22] smokie: if you put the script in /usr/bin it will always work in the current pwd [12:22] ActionParsnip, thats exactly what i want to do actually.. [12:22] sivel_ use the full path? /your/folder/bin/appname, or having a wrapper script? [12:22] baz_: however lets just say that you have a account that you want to only have access to /etc/init.d/apache2 for restart and so on.....you can do that without changing the access rights to the actual file and do it in sudoers [12:22] ActionParsnip: what do i run once i get my laptop wired to my router to download all the kernel source that i need to make? [12:22] baz_: or a directory and so on [12:23] sivel_ sudo ln -s [12:23] baz_: like I said...its a admin tool to keep track of who has access to what in the admin features [12:23] ah cool ActionParsnip, so in other words if i used the "install-egg" command on user smokie, it will download and extract under this home dir? good to know [12:23] scizzo-, ohhhh [12:23] scizzo-, cool actually [12:23] so, i would put the command in the etc/init.d file? /home/test/test/./test? [12:24] smokie: it will execute in the working directory [12:24] can anyone please help me to get my dual head working? I'm using Ubuntu Studio 8.10 and my GPU is an ATI Mobility Radeon x700 (proprietary driver). Cloning the desktop works fine, but from the moment I try configuring it for independent desktops X won't start anymore... [12:24] has ANYONE got the nVidia drivers to work on Toshiba laptops? [12:24] scizzo-, one thing i find insecure is my cube neighbor always peaking to see me type my password 1000 times a day - is there a defense to this [12:24] smokie: so if you are in a subfolder of ~/ it will work there [12:24] baz_: so you can tell a user to have access to _ONLY_ apache2 in /etc/init.d/ or the whole directory or the like....if he only has access to apache2 then he can't access or restart the other services in that directory [12:24] ActionParsnip, cool thanks for the info [12:24] <|911> Hello, im trying to patch my wifi driver, rtl8187b, to support injection, can i just run the patch or do i need to do something diff, thx [12:24] sivel_ yes that should do it for you [12:25] smokie: just use $1 in the script [12:25] baz_: that is more of a password protection question [12:25] baz_: its a more standard question about security IMO [12:25] ActionParsnip, what does that supposed to do? === Guest42402 is now known as theczar [12:26] smokie: takes the first arguement, it'll let you use the script more often [12:26] has ANYONE got the nVidia drivers to work on Toshiba laptops? [12:26] scizzo-, kind'of... the nuance being that it is sudo that keeps making u expose it [12:26] that would be the correct context then? /path/to/app/./appname, or /path/to/app/appname? [12:26] nvidia | jeeves_Moss [12:26] scizzo-, windows just asks u to click "run" or whatever [12:26] ActionParsnip, followed it thanks. still locks up [12:26] sivel_ /path/to/app/appname [12:26] baz_: well you can always use it as a combo.... [12:27] jeeves_Moss: what does lspci | grep -i vga [12:27] baz_: create the admin account...then another account......su to the admin account when needed or so [12:27] thank you kindly [12:27] sivel_ what exactly are you trying to do?

[12:50] jeeves_Moss: you could try nvidia-glx-177 [12:50] erry: Thats the most common one, yep. It wakes up when you send the right network packet from some one computer. [12:50] techzar done [12:50] emmecenne_: so after you select FTP (with login) under Service Type, place the IP in the Server field, and 21 under the Port field. then your username under username [12:50] Radtoo, uh....... So how do I do that.. [12:50] w00dr0w, It is best to keep your questions in the channel and use the persons name to highlight your responses to each other [12:50] ActionParsnip, ok, one sec [12:50] yep - so it mounts as writable and is marked as 'clean' [12:50] Radtoo, btw i mean its actually turned off not sleeping [12:51] ActionParsnip, is there a place to edit the max rez? [12:51] Radtoo: could you please take a look at my Xorg.0.log output? I'm not sure what to look for. http://pastebin.com/d3dd27567 [12:51] theczar where should I select ftp? In NAutilus? Where? [12:51] jeeves_Moss: you will need nvidia-settings when you get the driver installed [12:51] erry: Yes. When its actually turned off but powered (as in no power kill switch obviously) you can about only use the "wake-on" method [12:51] action [12:51] ad_: i don't think you can. you have to boot up windows itself in order for the ntfs filesystem to really be fixed by chkdsk [12:51] ActionParsnip, is that the name of the package? [12:51] Radtoo, ok and how do i turn it on from LAN exactly? [12:52] ad_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-your-widows-partitions-and-make-it-read-and-writable.html [12:52] erry: Hmm... can you install / do you have a "wakeonlan" utility? [12:52] Radtoo, by the way how do u send a packet to a comp that's turned off >_> [12:52] Can I get a terminal if I enter recovery mode? [12:52] jeeves_Moss: yes: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [12:52] Radtoo, it's not connected anywhere when it's turned off.. === j is now known as Guest63345 [12:52] emmecenne_: you want to use Nautilus' Connect to Server function wich can be found on the top panel under Places [12:52] erry: broadcast / mac address [12:52] ActionParsnip, there is no install for glx-177 [12:52] Radtoo, my lan is WLAN [12:52] ad_: in other words, there is no linux util that fixes a dirty ntfs filesystem, that i know of [12:52] w00dr0w: yes, choose root console from the 2nd option after choosing recovery mode for the kernel [12:52] Radtoo, it's not on LAN when its turned off.. [12:52] hi, is there any way to access NFS shares using Nautilus ? [12:52] erry: oh, that's not gonna work unless you have it fro wlan [12:53] Radtoo, no it says lan [12:53] jeeves_Moss: are you on intrepid / hardy? [12:53] i need to edit my xorg.conf [12:53] erry: wake on lan means for cabled... lan. [12:53] is there a way in ubuntu i can check if the partition hasn't cleanly been unmounted in the past? or is my only option to chkdsk it in windows and safely remove? [12:53] intrepid [12:53] w00dr0w: yes thats fine [12:53] kk [12:53] w00dr0w, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [12:53] ty [12:53] Radtoo, isn't there any other ay [12:53] way( [12:53] Radtoo, once my dad had scheduled my old win 2k pc to turn on at a specific time by itseld [12:53] jeeves_Moss: ok cool, apt-cache search nvidia | grep -i 177 [12:53] Can't apt-get anything. Im in MCE and it's very picky about what you can and can't do [12:54] jeeves_Moss: install what it finds [12:54] jeeves_Moss: :D [12:54] still using ff 2.0.0.6 [12:54] erry: Uh well you can get a timer that powers on / off ? [12:54] ActionParsnip, nada! [12:54] ad_ it will show a warning (and it may even not let you mount) if the file system has not been unmounted correctly [12:54] w00dr0w, mce = ? [12:54] Radtoo, ow [12:54] yes a terminAL!!!

No. You can't actually fully power off and just power on by timer unless your bios would support that - and it like never does.

[12:55] jeeves_Moss: then 173 is the one for you [12:55] Radtoo, no [12:55] Radtoo, it was completely turned of [12:55] jeeves_Moss: try running: sudo apt-get update then rerunning the search [12:55] *off [12:55] ActionParsnip, ok, now that we know that, how do I fix this screen rez? [12:56] erry, It could have had a wake on lan setting [12:56] erry: Then he had it supported on his mainboard, most likely. [12:56] Hey [12:56] Radtoo, agreed [12:56] ok, i typed "sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf" but all i get is a blank screen with a bunch of menu options with carrots before letters [12:56] ActionParsnip, some thing [12:56] jeeves_Moss: install the package as well as nvidia-settings [12:56] w00dr0w, We dont support linuxmce in here [12:56] I am wondering if i can get some up with an ubuntu server install i am trying.

I converted them to .iso and also tried .mpeg. the only one that somewhat worked was the .mpeg. what am i doing wrong??????????

[12:59] Or if it's even the right thing to do. [12:59] alexy92: what do you need to know? we can help answer questions or give you a step by step [12:59] Yes, i have a router. [12:59] Could that be the problem? [13:00] Hellsheep: roger that. could be [13:00] Hellsheep, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [13:00] donkey_: fine: throw them at devede and make a nice menu for them, it will make a dvd iso [13:00] a step by step would help please theczar [13:00] 没人说汉语？ [13:00] is there another text editor besides nano for the cmd prompt?

Also, how large are the updates it tries to do, i am currently shaped and i am wondering if that could just be the problem, and i'd just need to wait like 10 hours for it to download? [13:05] emmecenne: your username on the computer [13:05] so if i install ubuntu, is it possible to use grub to be able to load the mac bootloader? [13:05] so .5 would be the best? [13:05] and try to fix my problem but didn't work [13:05] emmecenne: the destination computer that is [13:05] hi, I've installed new Ubuntu Server 8.04 and didn't specify proxy parameters.

Or I have to use the existing one? [13:06] Mihasi: No. It does a new log for every start. You might have .old logs in the same folders (I'm not sure tho)... otherwise you'll have to copy it from the command prompt outside xorg. [13:06] where can upload it to see [13:06] jrib, "command not found" how can i doublecheck my distro [13:06] uname -a [13:06] alexy92: I got it to work once on a quadrupal booted hackintosh once, so as i recall grub recongnized OSX [13:06] theczar: thank you for your help already, i immensly appreciate it [13:06] hi all! guess what - i just installed ubuntu! ;) [13:07] haha [13:07] Hellsheep, quiet and splash are always there.. but let me know. the updates will take awhile after you do the original install but you can hold them off for awhile while you check things out [13:07] frca: good job!:) [13:07] emmecenne: existing [13:07] frca, congrats, u are one step closer to enlightenment [13:07] frca: sweet :-) you will now be assimilated. resistance is futile [13:07] Jack_Sparrow, splash was definitely not there.

It installs fine, but when I launch CrossLoop and click "Login", there is just a blank page. According to WineHQ it should work (but the tests used other versions of Wine and CrossLoop). Any suggestion? [13:12] alexy92, i don't know about mac but there's a set of drivers you can get for windows to read ext2/3 [13:12] oh right [13:12] mount* [13:12] Jack_Sparrow, it's not totally released tot he community yet. this video issuse is makin' me mad [13:12] alexy92, if you google ext3 in windows it should be one of the first links [13:12] alexy92: just using the partiton editor, the touchy thing is getting Grub off the MBR [13:12] jrib, "unable to lock download directory" [13:12] Rencx yes, you can also split up your /var (may be useful if you host large websites) and any other folder but you normally just have a / and a /home or just a single big / === nubuntu_ is now known as LinkinCu_School [13:12] jrib, and yes i sudo'ed [13:13] alexy92: you can use a tool called SuperGrub LiveCD to remove Grub [13:13] my screensaver shows only in a quarter of the screen. im using kubuntu 8.10. plz hlp [13:13] jrib, right before thagt msg is "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" [13:13] jeeves_Moss, kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic ?

[13:13] Adam-85: do you know how to use a pastebin website? if you're in linux and you need to pastebin from the no x-windows console, then install and use a utility named 'pastebinit' [13:13] jrib, don't think so - is there a way to check [13:14] I hooked up friends laptop with HDMI to his tv. Pressing fn+f8, nothing seems to happen, and tv gives "no signal" Where do I start debugging this? [13:14] dns53 and on home will be all my music and movies and pictures so if i want reinstall Ubuntu they will be safe? [13:14] Rencx it is useful to have a seperate home partition, it makes moving to another distro easier [13:14] Hi all. When using evince to view my presentation, I often have to press space more than once (typically twice) to move forward by one slide. How do I make it so that evince moves me forward by exactly one slide per press of space? [13:14] Jack_Sparrow, how long should "Configuring APT" "Scanning the mirror" normally take? [13:14] basically whats it mean when xorg.conf is empty in nano and in vi? [13:14] jeeves_Moss, what video issue do you have.. Since I am not quite awake yet.. be gentle [13:14] Rencx yes, that's one advantage [13:14] baz_: ps -ef | grep apt will show you some [13:14] Radtoo: okay, thanks. But if that's the case, why would cloning work? Couldn't it have something to do with permissions? When I run amdcccle as normal user I can't select independent displays, only cloning. When I run it as root I can select it, but it breaks x. [13:14] oCean_, only way I got to export the display was reboot into win, hit fn+f8 (dont even have to login to win), that seemed to activate the hardware, the nreboot into linux and it exports [13:14] Mihasi: some bug report suggests you could try moving the file / removing it. [13:15] Hellsheep, It can take awhile but pulling the pulg before the install will cause it to fail. not hurt anything [13:15] oh right cool but if i delete grub, how would i be able to boot into linux? [13:15] Jack_Sparrow, no worries. I have an nVidia card, and when I install the "non-free drivers", I get the screen lock ups, grey screens, etc. I've followed the "howtos" on how to fix it, and it causes the system to hard crash into a reboot [13:15] w00dr0w: it means it's empty, nothing special really [13:15] onetinsoldier: pastebin , i will looking for it [13:15] theczar it doesn't work... [13:15] Does that mean i just need to update it manually later on when it's finished installing? [13:15] theczar, now I tried from the other pc and it works [13:15] jeeves_Moss, which nvidia chipset [13:15] dns53 so / will be root and how big i need it? [13:15] theczar can I restrict the visible folders? [13:15] Jack_Sparrow, 7300GO [13:15] it's very special when I need that file to boot [13:15] theczar configuring pure... [13:15] thanks for your help all [13:15] !who | w00dr0w [13:15] w00dr0w: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:15] hwilde: hm.. ok, not sure he has win os installed, let me see [13:16] Jack_Sparrow, yes, I know, I want to change it, but it's not a mini PCI-X in this laptop [13:16] Mihasi: Well, I think it might just not be using that amdxmm module for that. :P [13:16] jrib, "root 5601 5599 0 11:14 ? 00:00:00 apt-get install login" [13:16] w00dr0w: you should explain what the actual problem you are having is [13:16] w00dr0w: do you want to get a configured xorg.conf file? i have some instructions on doing it [13:16] Radtoo: what file exactly? amdxdmm? [13:16] jrib, "cftuser 6026 6017 0 13:15 pts/1 00:00:00 grep apt" [13:16] jeeves_Moss, Lets PM to not spam the channel. [13:16] !pastebin | Adam-85 [13:16] alexy92: the purpose of the SuperGrub tool is to remove Grub after you remove linux, in the even it doesn't work [13:16] Adam-85: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:16] oCean_, i dunno why but it was like the hardware wouldn't even activate :/ [13:16] Rencx 4-10 should be ok for a normal use, if you have that much spare make it 20, and if you use lvm you can leave some unused [13:16] baz_: yeah, that would do it [13:16] alexy92: when it comes to hackintosh setups you're usually in some sort of uncharted territory, your options are leave well enough alone, take a risk, find a tutorial that matches your setup exactly, or be prepared to nuke your system and start over [13:16] Hello. How to format an empty usb stick? [13:16] Radtoo: you might have a good point :P (as you can tell I'm not very experienced with linux yet ^^) [13:16] vlt: gparted [13:16] vlt, depends on the filesystem you want to use also [13:16] onetinsoldier, Careful with the difference between linuxmce and ubuntu [13:16] jrib, some hung APT? [13:17] onetinsoldier: pastebin and my language is bash [13:17] right [13:17] Dr_willis: vfat [13:17] jrib, should i kill it [13:17] baz_: did you run that command? [13:17] Jack_Sparrow: oh... roger that. ;-/ [13:17] theczar can I restrict the visible folders? [13:17] Dr_willis: What partition type to use? [13:17] theczar configuring pureadmin [13:17] jrib, don't think so [13:17] baz_: well that's kind of strange [13:17] jrib, this is a vm test server - its ok if i screw it up [13:17] I'm using wmii currently but having problems with understanding the virtual filesystem to control its behavior. Anyone can point me to a resource/guide? [13:17] vlt, vfat/fat32 then.. if its not allready vfat. [13:17] vlt, use 'sudo fdisk -l' to see what it is now [13:17] How do you reset compiz to factory defaults? [13:17] baz_: just reboot it and see what happens [13:17] jrib, i ran apt before but nothing that should be running for hourts [13:18] Dr_willis: It'S an empty stick [13:18] emmecenne: there are ways to restrict folders that you can find instructions for on pureftps website, however it doesn't work very well, as pureftp is a quick and dirty way to set up ftp, if you want to set up a more advanced setup i suggest removing pureftp and swtiching to proftp [13:18] . [13:18] Mihasi: move /usr/lib/xorg/modules//amdxmm.so to somewhere else (or rename it) [13:18] vlt, You can have a formated disk thats 'empty' and still be partitioned... [13:18] lol ohk lets hope it doesnt have to come to that [13:18] theczar I'lltry [13:18] Is there a way to look up what kind of video card I have? [13:18] hwilde: atm there is no win os installed. Intrepid all the way :) [13:18] vlt, unless youmean to say its 'unpartitoned' [13:18] Dr_willis: No, it's empty. [13:18] Adam-85: i'm not sure what you mean by your language is bash. is english you're first(native) language? bash is a linux shell [13:18] dns53 for / it need to be at start or end? [13:18] well the annoying thing is i have a spare internal hdd in my computer that cant be booted from [13:18] Dr_willis: as in unpartitioned :) [13:18] even when trying windows 7 beta 1 to be installed [13:18] oCean_, lemme know if you figure that out - i would love to know the fix. [13:18] vlt, 'empty' means very little in this case.. then you partition it.. [13:19] it still doesnt work [13:19] theczar i should remove pureftp or pure admin? [13:19] and its a shame [13:19] emmecenne: both [13:19] onetinsoldier /join #Jack_Sparrow [13:19] Dr_willis: Ok, it's filled with 0x00 totally [13:19] the c zar [13:19] ok [13:19] vlt, you can have data on drives that are unpartitioned also. :) but thats not imporntant. [13:19] becoz i really wanted to install ubuntu on there and my headache would have been solved [13:19] vlt, partition, format, enjoy. [13:19] theczar stay for c zar, right? [13:19] Mihasi: Well, I am experienced but I also don't know if I know a solution... can always try poking around a bit though. [13:19] onetinsoldier: yeah , i mean language to select of my file to highlight [13:19] onetinsoldier: mmmm, i did that, and gnome is still loading metacity unfortunatly [13:19] hwilde: sure, going through the forums atm.. It seems a silly thing :s [13:19] im trying to get it to load fluxbox [13:19] Rencx better at the start, it can sometimes help having your first or second partition a really small /boot but that is not normally required [13:19] onetinsoldier: however it's link to see http://pastebin.com/m11da2428 [13:20] ok [13:20] Radtoo: okay, gonna try poking around now, brb [13:20] jrib, i ran the apt install right after a reboot and got the same msg's [13:20] Dr_willis: Yes. I have to specify my question. "How" didn't mean "what tool to use" but rather "which partition type and fs" instead. [13:20] alexy92: yeah i can understand that frustration. As a born tweaker who wants his computers to do exactly what he wants when he wants I have dealt with that frustration often. [13:20] baz_: you should check if the other apt process is running [13:20] emmecenne: ?? [13:20] jrib, now there is this guy: "root 5625 5623 0 13:18 ? 00:00:00 apt-get install libpam-runtime" [13:21] !keytouch > oCean_ [13:21] oCean_, please see my private message [13:21] vlt, gparted and fdisk both have a menu to show the types. vfat = fat32 [13:21] Is there a reccommended partition type for VFAT partition on usb sticks? [13:21] baz_: do you have auto updates or something? [13:21] Dr_willis: ok, thank you. [13:21] oCean_, I had good results with the keytouch package programming other shortcuts, but it doesnt seem to know my function key I dunno... [13:21] jrib, who knows! [13:21] looks like bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/95853 [13:21] jrib, i didnt manually ask for them [13:21] i m going to try installing updates [13:21] yeah [13:22] Adam-85: ok. i will have a look [13:22] baz_: is there a reason you don't just install ubuntu yourself in the vm? [13:22] hwilde: thx anyway, will have a look at that too [13:22] i mean i have spent the past 3 weeks trying to figure out the problem and its rather annoying but anyways [13:22] oh another thing [13:22] alexy92: go for it [13:22] jrib, lots of tomcat/bluedragon/etc. server that i have no idea how to configure together come bundled [13:23] i have 150 gbs on disk 0 with a windows xp install on there, if i install ubuntu onto that hard drive as well, would it stuff up the windows partition? [13:23] dns53, ok so now i have: sda1-ext3-25GB mounted as / and sda5-ext3-291GB mounted as /home and sda6-swap-3GB [13:23] oy [13:23] dns53 sda5 is logical.. [13:23] jeeves_moss you there [13:23] alexy92: are you asking if you can install ubuntu on a disk that already has a windows partition? [13:23] yes [13:24] without using wubi [13:24] alexy92: yes very easily [13:24] is there a good achive manager to ubuntu? like winrar 7zip izarc [13:24] johan12, p7zip [13:24] johan12, one comes built in [13:24] !info p7zip [13:24] p7zip (source: p7zip): 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.58~dfsg.1-1 (intrepid), package size 317 kB, installed size 936 kB [13:24] johan12: file-roller ist good [13:24] ive been told however, that when shrinking partitions with windows, its best to let windows do the work otherwise it will get pissed off that ubuntu stole its space [13:25] alexy92: just tell ubuntu to install on the free space and it will install automatically, and Grub will take over as your bootloader, recognizing windows automatically [13:25] Rencx sounds good [13:25] baz_: makes it hard to support though [13:25] alexy92 yes, yes it is, windows is very touch about it's space [13:25] and ive tried going into vista and shrinking the windows xp partition but it comes up with access denied errors [13:25] i know [13:25] Dr_willis: "root privileges are required to run gparted". wtf? [13:25] Adam-85: that's considered to be an 'empty' xorg.conf file. which is ok really. however... [13:25] and a bit of a pain in the arse if u ask me :P [13:25] apt-get update;apt-get upgrade; doesw not update my pidgin...apt-get remove pidgin;apt-get install pidgin; does not update it either...Does this mean i have the latest pidgin that ubuntu supports? [13:25] Jack_Sparrow, is this right? now i have: sda1-ext3-25GB-primary mounted as / and sda5-ext3-291GB-logical mounted as /home and sda6-swap-3GB [13:26] alexy92: welcome to Windows :p [13:26] dns53 it must be logical? [13:26] lol [13:26] vlt, Please lose the wtx and of course you need root access to work at the partition level [13:26] the hell hole of computing [13:26] jrib, yeah i guess... it seems u are right tho. on a fresh boot root tries apt-installing... looks like auto-updates or something - is there a way to see [13:26] Rencx, looks great [13:26] typically, how much space does ubuntu need to install? [13:26] Jack_Sparrow: I need to have root access to format my usb stick? [13:26] Adam-85: perhaps we ahoud have you try specifically specify the generic 'vesa' driver in it and see if that works for you just to get you into x-windows as a start [13:26] ahould=should [13:27] Rencx, I might have added an extra ext3 for data and or a backup but looks great [13:27] Rencx linux does not really care that much [13:27] how do i edit the menu in xubuntu? (last question (today):P) [13:27] vlt, yes [13:27] remind me again why we aren't supposed to install the gui on servers.... [13:27] Jack_Sparrow, is it right to be a one primary and then logical? [13:27] alexy92: it can install about as little as 3 gigs [13:27] Rencx, yes, ubuntu doesnt care.. Windows would freak [13:28] alexy92: that's the safe minimum i'd advise, but if you set it up right you can install it on as little as 1 gig [13:28] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, then I'm going tu use cfdisk. Do you know what type number is reccommended for vfat partitions on usb sticks? [13:28] baz_: that's really up to you. In general they aren't necessary for most people, but there's nothing wrong with installing a gui. It just uses more resources. [13:28] as well, a fully loaded ubuntu server can be <1GB diskspace [13:28] Jack_Sparrow, but i can still save my data on home if i reinstall new Ubuntu version [13:28] baz_: iirc, there is some package that enableds apt auto-updates (I don't remember its name). But it could also have been done with some cron job, so you'll have to check those too [13:29] jrib. ah ok [13:29] Rencx, yep that is the beauty of sep /home [13:29] wow [13:29] jrib, when u say resources do u mean just HD space? [13:30] theczar: well what would u recommend? is 50gbs sufficient? [13:30] baz_: that and cpu/memory because of various daemons that you wouldn't otherwise have running [13:30] dns53, Jack_Sparrow: Ty for your help now i will have clan install of Ubuntu whitout Windows :)) [13:30] alexy92: yes quite [13:30] In the voice of Captain Hook...'GUI on a server??? Bad Form Peter! Bad Form' [13:30] Rencx, Nudge me if you need me [13:30] vlt: most would still use fat16 and 0f as partition type, I think [13:31] jrib, is it possible to boot it up without the gui sometimes and with the gui other times - or disable the gui when i'm done using it? [13:31] ok [13:31] vlt, yes.. you would have to be root to partition/fdisk drives... makes sence to me [13:32] I'm having trouble installing nvidia drivers running 8.10 (2.6.27-9-generic). GPU is an 8600m GT. I've tried running envy, and sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx (should install the driver from the intrepid repo), but nothing works. Still startup in low graphics mode, and I can't build a kernel module from the 171.06.01 nvidia driver either. Anyone have any ideas? [13:32] baz_: yes, you can disable graphical login in System -> Administration -> Services and then start the gui with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [13:32] Rencx, I still dual or triple boot everything [13:32] right ok [13:32] Adam-85: hello, are you still here? [13:32] so when i put in the live cd and i click the install button, should i click guided, clean or manual? [13:32] Radtoo: I used cfdisk and partition type 0f, thanks [13:32] Jack_Sparrow, i will on Windows 7 [13:32] alexy92: Uh if you don't know, guided. :P [13:33] alguem que fala português ai? [13:33] !pt | xNey [13:33] xNey: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:33] ubuntu changes my ip once in a while, aswell as my routes and dns - how can I avoid this? [13:33] Rencx, You are now DEAD to me.. :) === Snigepige is now known as rubberduck [13:33] jrib iae! [13:33] I do not see any reason to have a GUI on a server, unless their are some GUI admins tools that must be run locally on that server and are not found in the command line (i have never seen this yet) === rubberduck is now known as Snigepige [13:33] i would like to make ASCII grapigs from pictures. Can someone help me? i m running ubuntu [13:33] Jack_Sparrow, why? [13:34] Rencx, Just teasing for the windows 7 reference [13:34] teddy_: 'cause the admin can't do without, actually is a good reason. :) [13:34] ohk [13:34] teddy_: if you want users to have the option of logging locally with a GUI :) [13:34] alexy92: well it depends on how you've set it up, clean will nuke the entire disk and install ubuntu so that's not what you want, as long as you are installing ubuntu on unformatted space guided will work, but if you already have a partition where you are installing it, you will need to use manual [13:34] but by doing that will that stuff up the windows page file or anything like that? [13:34] :)) [13:34] Dr_willis: I think access to /dev/[hs]da should be restricted on block device level ... but why shouldn't the user be allowed to run a program like gparted? [13:34] mossmon, you mean convert jpg/bmp/hatever to ascii text files that sort of look like the images? try mtpaint if so.. i think it can do that. [13:35] right so in that case i need to shrink the vista partition so its counted as free space? [13:35] thanks i will try [13:35] alexy92: exactly [13:35] Rencx, You might consider creating an ntfs as sda1 before you install ubuntu [13:35] jrib, very interesting, so if i disable the graphical login service, none of the gui stuff will load at all? it will be exactly like having a guru box? [13:35] Rencx, That will save you a bit of work later [13:35] baz_: bingo [13:36] baz_: I'm not sure. check what is running now and what runs after you install the gui and disable gdm [13:36] Jack_Sparrow, unplugging the cable works wonders. [13:36] Hellsheep, :) [13:36] apt-get update;apt-get upgrade; doesw not update my pidgin...apt-get remove pidgin;apt-get install pidgin; does not update it either...Does this mean i have the latest Ubuntu Pidgin ? [13:36] It installed perfectly fine. [13:36] cool [13:36] Do i need to update anything manually now Jack_Sparrow? [13:36] If so, how do i do it. [13:36] I am not familiar with Linux commands [13:36] jrib, very cool, thanks for all the fish [13:36] Jack_Sparrow, i will reinstall all laiter because i can bacup data on external hdd [13:36] other than basics [13:36] vlt, they are restricted.. thats why it needs to be accessed as root.. fdisk cant tell that sdb is a thumbdrive and should be formatable/fdiskable by a user. of course a thumbdrive may be any sd## not just sdb.. so you would have a hard time getting any app to figure out that a device is a 'user' device or not. [13:37] baz_: so long [13:37] sudo apt-get insall jrib [13:37] Hellsheep, Nothing is critiical once you plug in the cable you will see an update icon at the top of your screen, (after a few minutes) [13:37] crap ok this isnt good [13:37] Jack_Sparrow, maybe you now how i can make ubuntu look beter and the 3d stuf? [13:37] Ah okay. [13:37] alexy92: what? [13:37] mossmon: perhaps this, i don't know for sure if this is helpful though, but you can take a look --> http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Image-Galleries/Image-Tools/Image-to-ASCII-Generator-39812.html [13:37] Jack_Sparrow, just to make sure i did everything right, Ubuntu server doesn't have a GUI does it? It's just command line? [13:37] Rencx, Do you have wobbly windows now? [13:37] Hellsheep, correct [13:37] Cool. [13:38] no i just started to instal it [13:38] when i go into computer management in windows and click on the vist partition and tell it to shrink the volume, it only shrinks it by 4 gb [13:38] vlt: Access control on linux doesn't allow for all the shady things that are possible on windows. Just expect to need superuser rights if you want to do anything at all that changes things for the entire system. [13:38] Hellsheep, SInce you are setting up server you wont get the gui icon at the top of your screen [13:38] Jack_Sparrow, i just started install it, before i choose extras [13:38] Hellsheep, sudo apt-get update [13:39] i have apache2 running in my services, is this normal or a remnant of some package i have? [13:39] Oh okay. [13:39] Radtoo: I don't know windows very well. But why does't gparted work whereas cfdisk does? [13:39] 95% of eyecandy is not functional..5% is functional... [13:39] Jack_Sparrow, will i have to set up any DHCP stuff before i do that? As because the plug was pulled it didn't set it up during the install [13:39] alexy92: oh the wonders of Windows... as I recall being able to do it involves turning off paging, but I don't rember exactly how that works [13:39] Rencx, yes see if you have any effects so we know if your video card is running real driver or vesa mode [13:39] Radtoo: That doesn't make much sense to me. [13:39] baz_: apache2 is a web server, you probably need it for the tomcat stuff [13:39] vlt: you ran cfdisk from a root shell? [13:39] and like i said i cant shrink the xp partition becoz it comes up with access denied errors [13:40] vlt: ...and you didn't run gparted with root permissions? [13:40] Radtoo: No, from a plain $ shell [13:40] hey guys i am new to irssi [13:40] lol and i can imagine windows going psycho at that [13:40] Hellsheep, cant hurt to try it firts.. plug in/ power up then sudo apt-get update [13:40] jrib, on my local machine i don't want any servers - sudo apt-get autoremove apache2 didn;t do much [13:40] lantjie_: hi, welcome [13:40] lantjie_ welome [13:40] and joined today [13:40] Okay [13:40] ty [13:40] it seasy to use [13:40] hi,ive a microsoft bluetooth mouse,its working fine. but after reboot it does not work [13:40] vlt: In that case, I find it also strange... [13:40] baz_: sudo apt-get remove apache2 [13:40] my firefox, pidgin and many other programs stopped working after I installed window maker and afterstep and mediatomb, can anyone help me to fix it? while running mediatomb it says something about I/O error... [13:40] Jack_Sparrow, so can i run 3d box ans move diferent windows because i dont like old style moving === Andry_Sleep is now known as Andry [13:41] alexy92: it's... touchy [13:41] hi i am new to ubuntu, when i am trying to install it with my nvidia fx 5200 the installation hangs but when i remove the card it installs properly but after 1st boot it hangs can anybody help me out [13:41] Hi, my PULSEAUDIO DEVICE CHOOSER (padevchooser) isn't launching when I click on it or type it into bash. Any ideas? [13:41] Jack_Sparrow, unable to resolve any of the servers [13:41] Rencx, You need to answer my first question. [13:41] jrib, "Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed" === ben is now known as Guest86880 [13:41] Hellsheep, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [13:41] hmm [13:41] baz_: it shouldn't be running then [13:41] lantie_ yup once you grasp the basic concepts of it you realize it's quite simple [13:41] jrib, but my last entry in my services is "web server (apache2)" [13:42] ok so do you have any suggestions for my situation? [13:42] baz_: check with: ps -ef | grep apache [13:42] hi anyone? [13:42] !ask [13:42] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

My VirtualBox is up and running. i simply reinstalled [13:42] vlt: Perhaps parted did run as different user which only has a subset of your user rights or whatever. [13:42] How do i pastebin from ubuntu server though?

[13:43] baz_: it's not running then [13:43] anyone? [13:43] alexy92 remove windows :p actually though I suggest you search for information about shrinking a windows partition and the proper way to go about that, once you figure out how to shrink it, wich I assure you is possible if not dificult, installing ubuntu should be quite easy [13:43] Rencx, right click desktop.. click on change desktop, last tab, set effects to anything except none [13:43] yep , im on it already [13:43] I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard with the Realtek 8111D network. When I try to install 8.10 x64 it does not recognize my network at all. Just wont show. In 9.04 alpha x64 the network is working like a charm. Anyone who knows how I might use this knowledge to get 8.10 x64 working? I really don't have the tech-skills to run alpha... [13:44] apparently it comes up with those errors becoz the permissions arent correct [13:44] so im fixing that situation up right now [13:44] Agion: i don't know that i can help at all, other than to tell you that you should probably include a pastebin url of the i/o error in your problem description [13:44] alexy92, You did unmount the drive before trying to resize it correct [13:44] Hi, How do I use Terminal Server Client for remote desktop connection using RDP, I was getting connection refused messages [13:44] Radtoo: I have no root rights. gparted refused to start because it wants root privileges. So I had to use cfdisk to partition my usb stick. And that worked (because I have rw access to /dev/sdb ...) [13:44] jrib, can i delete it from the services list (i unchecked it now, but can i delete it somehow) [13:44] alexy92 awesome [13:44] Jack_Sparrow, yes thet work for me but can i get more to chose? [13:44] / peri_kecil [13:45] Can anyone advise why mutt depends on exim4 and mailx? [13:45] n4h0j: lots of bugs with the realtek chipset, have you checked to see if this is a patch set to be backported? [13:45] Rencx, yes.. /join #Jack_Sparrow and I will walk you through it [13:45] VSpike: isn't mutt the frontend and exim/mailx the transport agent? [13:45] n4h0j: easiest way is compile latest vanilla kernel yourself [13:45] alexy92: i wish I could be of more assistance, but this pushes the limits of my multi-boot expertise. [13:45] n4h0j: or attleast. i would do that [13:46] vlt: Ah, like that. Well you probably have full rights to that usb device then, but gparted just asks for root rights as they're required for most of the other devices (hard disks etc) [13:46] thats fine [13:46] n4h0j: 8.10+latest vanilla kernel work very good [13:46] Jack_Sparrow, "Could not find package pastebinit" [13:46] vlt: If its your installation you really should have root privileges though :) [13:46] Is what it says, when i type sudo apt-get install pastebinit [13:46] your help is fantastic so far, i just wish i could return the favour myself [13:46] alexy92: I actually have to leave you now, as I have to be at my WebDevelopment class in an hour and have spent a long caffeine fueled night writing programs === indos256 is now known as peri_kecil [13:46] Hellsheep, ok.. so you have no networking atm [13:46] onetinsoldier: seems to be working after I removed wmaker. strange.. veery strange.... [13:46] vlt: All you'd need to do is start gparted with sudo... [13:46] lol thats fine [13:47] VSpike: i can see why mutt would depend on mailx, but exim4? well, it i guess it's because it depends on some sort of mda [13:47] Hellsheep, what network card/chipset [13:47] That would be because it doesn't have DHCP set up. [13:47] thank you once again for your help so far [13:47] Ummm [13:47] That's a good question, it's running from a on board network card [13:47] and i will return hopefully to get this problem solved :) [13:47] Radtoo, gksudo for gparted whichis a gui app [13:47] Radtoo: okay, it almost works. X starts but then just gives my desktop background on both screens. I can move the mouse around, but that's it. Nothing else works. [13:47] I need help with ubuntu [13:47] alexy92: good luck! [13:47] Agion: oh, interesting. hmmm, roger that [13:47] tmg1|taylor: I only want to use imap folders anyway, not local ones. And I run an smtp server locally on another box. And besidesm something else already installed all of courier suite too! [13:47] you too:) [13:47] onetinsoldier: ^ [13:47] take care:) [13:47] Shall, i check what motherboard it is Jack_Sparrow? [13:47] chuck_, for the third time.. ask your question [13:48] Jeruvy: simplexio, both your answers are a bit to high-tech for me, just trying this out straight from using Vista (trying to get rid of my gaming addiction). how would I use this kernel in 8.10? and is it possible to do without access to internet from this very computer? [13:48] Hellsheep, You will need to do it as I cant from here [13:48] Okay, one minute please. [13:48] I used Alt+Ctl+arrow to switch out application but cant switch back [13:48] I'm having trouble sharing one external USB disk of mine, while I executed the following commands: sudo chown username -R MYBOOK/;sudo chmod +r -R MYBOOK/ [13:48] All my other shares work fine, even one other usb hdd of mine. [13:48] onetinesoldier, it seems like my compiz works after I installed it (and still after removing it).. this is becoming more and more strange... [13:48] doe you guys know how to browse to directories with the command promt [13:49] lantjie_: GUI browsing or just plain text ? [13:49] n4h0j: well, checking for patches and backports are typical for fixing bugs. See launchpad.net and search there, you may find what you seek. [13:49] lantjie_: that's a pretty broad question! can you be more specifi? [13:50] Agion: roger. perhaps it's using metacity and not compiz though, i'm not sure [13:50] mihasi: At that point I don't really know what exactly failed and why. [13:50] This install seems sluggish, bad sluggish, before I mess with anything, any suggestions on improving the performance to the way it was? [13:50] Agion: you can have a look at update-alternatives --display x-window-manager [13:50] Radtoo: well thanks for getting me to this point. [13:51] acer veriton 7500g, Jack_Sparrow. [13:51] And it's using the onboard network of it. [13:51] i have software RAID implemented... is there a tool to see/manage my volumes - especially if one is damaged perhaps? Gparted only goes to the partiion level but doesn't put it together for me [13:51] mihasi: Perhaps you DO need the file you moved... might mean you need to update it somehow... but I can't help you with that either. [13:51] Hellsheep, Do your homework and find the specs with the network chipset === geo is now known as geo05 [13:52] n4h0j: well you need few packages outside "normal" installation, but kernel compile does need that much skills. easiest way to fix your problem is get a cheap 100Mbit/s realtek from shop it about 10e or something [13:52] i'm using nautilus to browse an SMB folder, it's considered as mounted [13:52] Agion: ignore that. i don't quite understand my own window-manager in ubuntu. i use compiz but update-alternatives --display x-window-manager shows as 'metacity' [13:52] but i type mount to find the mount point , i failed [13:53] Wired LAN: Embedded Intel® 82562ET 10/100 Mbps LAN [13:53] According to the internet. [13:53] Jack_Sparrow: Right, sorry. I'm too accustomed to using command shells and su. :) [13:53] Radtoo, Sudo SU: Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. [13:54] simplexio: yes, that would be an option if it were not for the lack of space and empty slots in my computer.. on the other hand, some googling on my chipset indicates that this is a x64 problem [13:54] hi i am having problem installing ubuntu it hangs during installation but when i removed my nvidia fx 5200 card it installed properly but during first boot the computer hung again can u help me out [13:54] simplexio: but that does not makes sense, being that it works in x64 [13:54] Thank you. I saw the answer in that mix.... [13:54] simplexio: in the 9.04version [13:54] hello [13:54] Jack_Sparrow: uh no, what I meant was that I dont use sudo all that much - aaanyhow. [13:54] Radtoo: would it help to have the xorg output again? it's http://pastebin.com/d1be210f1 [13:54] c'est pas francais [13:54] hi [13:55] Radtoo, I know what you meant.. but couldn't resist the factoid [13:55] Jack_Sparrow, according to the internet specs, this is the onboard networking: Wired LAN: Embedded Intel® 82562ET 10/100 Mbps LAN [13:55] onetinsoldier, ok [13:55] umm, I mounted it manually :D [13:56] Hellsheep, good start.. we need to see what it takes to get those going [13:56] simplexio: will try with 32.bit instead. thx for listening anyway [13:56] What other homework should i do then? [13:57] mihasi: No, can't see anything apart from what we wanted to cause, namely that the defective amdxmm (compiled for wrong xorg version, crashes) isn't loaded... [13:57] n4h0j: probably 9.04 uses newer kernel. so you have those few options. buy one card more, use 9.04, compile own kernel or wait until you get support for it in backports [13:57] baz_: sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2.2-common should do it [13:58] mihasi: Maybe try logging into a different window manager to see whether it just doesn't display anything without the module or whether it could just be the WM that can't cope with the dual screen in some way. [13:58] ok i got a problem. I did use devede to burn the ISO and then burned it onto a DVD. But now when i tried to play it on my player it says that playback is prohibited [13:58] hi, i like to use Ubuntu, and i'm impressed about upcoming possibilities. But when i use to integrate programms typical known from windows, like google earth or opera, but even now in wine and open office there is a bug with the fonts in menu. They are invisible, whole programm runs well, but the fonts are not properly displayed... what can i do? [13:59] Radtoo: I just realised my desktop effects are on, I'm gonna try turning them off first and see if that helps [13:59] Hellsheep, that should work out of the box.. try lshw or lspci and see if it is recognized [13:59] hi, can somebody tell me why freenx isn't in the official repositories? [13:59] radtoo ok i got a problem. I did use devede to burn the ISO and then burned it onto a DVD.

Just curious if anyone has done such a thing. [15:16] can anyone give me some advice. i am trying to get rid of a copy of the ubuntu 8.04 kernel.

I couldn't find out how to force it anywhere I looked [15:17] onetinsoldier: Thanks [15:17] Travis-42, that means those packages are no longer required as dependencies.

[15:18] ttye0: you're welcome. it's all in the map page for dpkg [15:18] I can almost bet it is a program used one library and it was superceded by a different libary.

For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [15:21] if its the long one its probably because its set to default by grub [15:21] sudo apt-get install startupmanager [15:22] caimlas; well my friend recently installed hardy 32-bit, and when he booted his system he always gets memory test which takes a long time to finish [15:22] and use that to set what to do by default at boot [15:22] by chance, does the memory test show any probs? [15:22] Is it possible to use iptables on an interface that is not yet created or not yet up ? [15:22] DarkKnight, memory test? what's the screen say? is it memtest86? [15:22] onetinsoldier: I'm back [15:22] didn't know that ran by default [15:22] with same problem [15:22] unomi ;so if i run that startupmanager installation will it help [15:23] Adam-85: awww, dangit!

[15:24] onetinsoldier: i make my devis is vesa [15:24] does the linux-rt kernel have framebuffer support? [15:24] and didn't work [15:24] hey hi hemanth [15:24] it would seem that the framebuffer consoles dont work nwo that i am using the rt kernel [15:24] Adam-85: post a pastebin url of the following file --> /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:24] onetinsoldier: in section device [15:25] ok [15:25] onetinsoldier: Can access to this room with black screen [15:25] TheFatHobbits: Do you mean iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables ?

[15:28] onetinsoldier: is it give access to room chat under bash [15:28] it's good === izibi_ is now known as izibi [15:28] Adam-85: yes [15:28] onetinsoldier: it's ok [15:29] onetinsoldier: well i will try to reboot and get my error log [15:29] linduxed: probably.. in what way is it frozen? [15:29] Adam-85: ok.. i hear you [15:29] onetinsoldier: and install pastebinit [15:29] hi [15:30] i have a directory with some files and symlinks which point to these files [15:30] onetinsoldier: Peace be upon you [15:30] Adam-85: thank you, and good luck to you! [15:30] if i rename the directory, the symlinks break, because they still point to the old directory [15:30] how can i rename the dir without breaking symlinks? [15:30] onetinsoldier: well... i ran a "sudo updatedb" and its finished, but the tty is unresponsive [15:31] linduxed: you have a prompt but it doesn't respond to keyboard at all? [15:31] here's the actual problem, If iptables rules can only be applied on interfaces that are up, doesn't that mean that the computer is vulnerable for the small period of time where the interface has just been established but the rules have not yet been applied ? [15:31] linduxed: normally i would say to type in reset [15:32] linduxed: ot try Ctrl+z... but if it's that frozen... i'm not sure [15:32] most likely Some_ux. but i dont know for sure [15:32] linduxed: or try Ctrl+z... but if it's that frozen... i'm not sure [15:32] hi all. My firefox always starts up in offline mode. How do I make it start in online mode? [15:32] Hi [15:33] onetinsoldier: shit.... i dont wanna reboot this server [15:33] Some_ux, dunno if this will help http://danieldegraaf.afraid.org/info/iptables/examples [15:34] reading [15:34] Hi, I think there is a problem with my current video driver. I can't view a youtube video in full screen w/out intense lagging. Here is my lspci [15:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/108615/ [15:34] linduxed: i'm sure there's some way to reset it. it's only one of the consoles that's stuck, correct? [15:35] Does anyone know which is the correct xserver-xorg-video package I need? === esay is now known as esay_uzak [15:35] onetinsoldier: yeah [15:35] hi guys.. having a bit of an issue with our KVM setup on Hardy,, we try to virsh-install from a cd ISO for hardy server amd64,, now we have done this 3 times before on the same server with the same ISO file(it's been sitting there being reused) but we havn't done it in a little while.. [15:36] TheFatHobbits: That's a lot to read :) Anyway, I noticed that they say you can: pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf (which means you can rig the rules pre-up) [15:36] Some_ux -> you can make your argument to folks in #iptables [15:36] onetinsoldier: hmmm, ctrl+q did the trick after killing the tty [15:36] n8user: cool, thanks [15:36] linduxed: ahh! cool [15:37] Some_ux glad i could help [15:37] the installer runs and about 3/4's of the way through the progress bar freezes, and kvm is using 100% cpu on a 4core cpu(meaning 1 core is maxed out) the other 2 vm's still run as well as the host os, it's just trying to bootstrap the installer kernel into the vm instance at this point. [15:38] Hey,.all.. How can I do fluxbox default window manager? [15:38] Anyone know of a common reason this might occur? host is Hardy amd64 server KVM, [15:38] kernel: this might work... sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager [15:38] NET||abuse: No idea in itself but kvm has frequent revisions and updates to the kernel module... have you tried updating? [15:39] is there a process manager in ubuntu? [15:39] updates didn't actually help with the "delete without warning" problem [15:39] jusama14: yes.. several.. try htop ....you might need to install it first [15:39] jusama14: system moniter -> processes? [15:39] jusama14-> off course there is [15:40] system monitor even [15:40] that happens in nautilus and on desktop when pressing delete key [15:40] Whenever I plug out and re-plug my usb keyboard, it reverts to US english.. is there any way I can set it to my preferred layout permanently? [15:40] onetinsoldier, Very Thanks.. [15:40] I'm trying to update this stuff but it's stuck on "configuring msttcorefonts" [15:40] onetinsoldier, i will reboot : ) [15:40] (Note: Said preferred layout exists as an xmodmap script based on US english) [15:40] so I need to terminate this [15:40] Baughn-> dont know, perhaps look into your udev rules about your keyboard [15:40] n8tuser: I have udev rules? [15:41] kernel: ok, roger. but i don't recall chatting to a kernel! is this Adam-85? [15:41] jusama14: are you running this install in a terminal or through synaptic or what? [15:41] kernel: anyway, you're welcome [15:41] Baughn-> have you even looked for it? [15:41] I double clicked on the icon at the top right saying that I need to install updates [15:41] n8tuser: ..I think it's probably an X11 issue, though [15:41] n8tuser: wasn't that a HAL thing? [15:42] Radtoo -> hal feeds udev i believe [15:42] Baughn: Yes, but it uses that for autodetection... it even overrides user config usually. [15:42] n8tuser: I have, but I have no idea where to look [15:42] my main problem however is getting my video drivers working correctly. [15:42] Baughn -> me neither, whoever designed udev made it just more complicated [15:42] In my day such things were configured statically. :/ [15:42] n8tuser: I configured mine at the hal level. [15:42] onetinsoldier, Hmm.. no changed.. [15:42] Can anyone help? [15:43] Baughn -> look around /etc/udev/rules.d [15:43] kernel: still need to see the pastebin of /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:43] Baughn: Its a relatively recent feature of xorg. :) [15:44] Hi. How can I install two versions of one deb pakage? [15:44] kernel: i think the command for that would be something like pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:44] kernel: although i've never used pastebinit myself [15:45] Baughn: Its getting very nice though, you can plug even wacom devices and spaceorbs and whatever now and get reasonable auto-configuration. The keyboard is about the biggest annoyance. Anyhow, I configured mine in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi - dunno if you could also do it in udev as n8tuser said, though. [15:46] Can anyone tell me how to list the UUIDs of drives that Ubuntu can see? [15:46] hi guys how do I send ping through a tunnel? [15:46] xnmrph: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [15:46] zash: how do I match volume labels to those UUIDs? [15:46] phanbt: if the tunnel is in your routing table I think it will be sent there if you use it as usual... [15:46] xnmrph: check /dev/disk/by-* [15:47] xnmrph: there is by-label and by-uuid and some more [15:47] zash: I have. But I don't know which partitions match which UUIDs [15:47] I'll take another look [15:47] phanbt: if not, we'd first have to understand how you use it at all, anyhow. [15:47] xnmrph: they apear as symlinks to /dev/sd?* [15:47] I have a tunnel with 00-00-00 HWAddr so if I send "ping -I tun0 192.168.1.1" wireshark show that is has an invalid ether frame [15:47] Can I install .deb package to the not default directory? [15:47] hey guys, can some body give me some advice please. Im running ubuntu (live) & am trying to install using the shortcut on the desktop, however when the 'prepare partitions' dialog comes up it doesn't show any partitions what so ever ..... gparted does tho? Any ideas please. thx === gman_ is now known as gman16k [15:48] jonaskoelker: In file ~/.mozilla//firefox/*.default/prefs.js change: user_pref("browser.offline", true); to: user_pref("browser.offline", false); [15:48] zash: in that folder is just a list of disks by UUID. I don't know which partitions they refer to [15:48] xnmrph: ls -l should give you $UUID -> ../../sd?? [15:49] phanbt: I have no clue how your tunnel works with that hwaddr... sorry. [15:49] hi folks, I have set up my system with a dynamic IP address, now I want to switch to a fixed IP adress, still in the same network (at home). Where do I change this setting? === gofg is now known as JohnWittle [15:49] zash: yes, that works. I was looking via nautilus, thanks [15:49] any ideas on the partitions not showing during install?? Please. [15:50] xnmrph: xterm > nautilus :D [15:50] pcman > nautilus [15:50] ;-) [15:50] Yuretsz1: i think so... hang on [15:51] kYd1, if you open a terminal do you have any paritions mounted? [15:51] itnet7: Yes it shows my windows (sda1) as mount, im running the installer off unetbootin [15:51] I would like to include my game on the official ubuntu repository. What should I do? What is the protocol for that? [15:52] It's a shame there isn't a tool that just creates a table of uuid vs id vs label etc [15:52] hmm, shutting down our kvm server, seems such a shame without either the host or either guest going down for 188 days.. [15:52] onetinsoldier: I need to install several versions of wine [15:52] xnmrph: you could probably do that with some shell scriöpt [15:52] tomtom099: /etc/network/interfaces see 'man interfaces' for details on config. [15:52] kYd1 Last night I had mounted my partition to move some files into a directory before installing using the shortcut. my partition didn't appear in the parmanager until after I unmounted it [15:52] I could. But I'm bone idle ;-) [15:53] Hello, can anybody help me? I cannot get my Nvidia ge-force 5500 graphics card to work. I've tried installing the recommended driver 173 and others but I cannot activate 3D graphics for games or Compiz. [15:53] NET||abuse: service downtime is fun? :) [15:53] anyone know if there's a fix for the kernel post-2.6.18 I/O latency/load issues in the pipeline yet? [15:53] itnet7: thanks Ill give that a go now [15:53] I would unmount the partition, hit the back button and hit manual again to see if it discovers it then [15:53] NET||abuse: Just throw in a new kernel and KVM v and it will be nicer anyhow, eh... ;) === cprofitt is now known as cprofitt_work [15:53] kYd1 no problem [15:54] ChrisUK: im not on ubuntu right now, and I dont remember. But if you click on the upper menus, you will find a place where you can install proprietary stuff. Ubuntu should recognize your card and install it for you. [15:55] Yuretsz1: i don't know. if there's a way i can't find it right now, sorry. [15:55] Hio [15:55] Hi [15:55] ChrisUK: try at "system - hardware drivers" or something like that. [15:55] Can someone help me with resizing a software raid partition ? [15:55] mfdavid: Tried that. It recommends that I install drivers 173 [15:55] mfdavid: These drivers do not work [15:55] I want to add my windows install to /boot/grub/menu.lst, but how do I figure out what the root is? I know it is on /windows (/dev/sda1) but how do I figure out what hd0,x value that is? [15:56] Yuretsz1: there is a way to 'extract' .deb packages to a different dir than the default.. but i don't know about officially installing a .deb to a different dir [15:56] ChrisUK: what happens? You can boot, use the PC but no 3D? or what? [15:56] alcohol sda is hd0,0 [15:56] positive? [15:56] yep [15:57] isn't there a command to get the value though? [15:57] it's just a fact, or? [15:57] sda partition 1 is hdo,0 [15:57] depends on the BIOS [15:57] i can't figure out why all my task lists aren't being displayed in evolutions "task" window. does anyone know how to fix this? [15:57] the BIOS disk order determines the hdx,x bit [15:57] hd counts at 0 sda starts at 1 [15:57] mfdavid: I get a blank screen, I then have to run the dpkg xserver to get it running again [15:57] I'll give it a shot then, thanks [15:57] humm [15:58] onetinsoldier: Ok, thanks.

[17:39] FireVai: just look where you have cp the file. or search it with find, may you copied it into anothter directory [17:39] binarymutant, done, yes, but how do i customize the pidgin environment [17:39] nope [17:39] binarymutant, sorry i'm chatting in facebook [17:39] I just ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and yet, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf has nothing it it.. nothing specific about resolutions. what makes xorg.conf to reflect what's really in a system?

[17:40] FireVai: try to find your file with sudo find -type -f -name name_of_file [17:40] i got it with my aircard 881 [17:40] unomi, its because when i leave my laptop on i think it occasionally drops the signal for some stupid and annoying reason =) and it means it doesnt autoconnect again without a password [17:41] how to figure out with xev which code the left Alt Key sends? i pasted the output and my .Xmodemap. http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/393842/ what i have to insert where in .Xmodemap [17:41] what file system is ubuntu? ext3 or ext2? and what mount point do I this?when installing Linux manuely [17:41] binarymutant, that's a pitty [17:41] ok [17:41] Adam-85: if you know how to edit your current file while you are in bash console you could do that. it's only a couple of lines to add. i use 'vim' as text editor [17:41] perlsyntax: gsm is the data network for at&t [17:41] i can edit it [17:41] onetinsoldier: I use nano [17:41] abarai_renji, I guess, you can always edit the source though :) [17:41] onetinsoldier: it's good [17:42] Adam-85: you will need to use a text editor one way or the other. you can copy and paste while in console by installing 'gpm' [17:42] MethinX: type mount in an terminal, there will be shown which file system is used [17:42] anyone have multisync or opensync with a smartphone working with evolution under ubuntu 8.10. ?

[17:42] Adam-85: after it's installed, you can copy and paste with your mouse. to copy, hold down your left mouse button while moving it over text. then to paste, press your middle mouse button [17:42] odd i cant just copy paste it [17:42] onetinsoldier: ok [17:42] binarymutant, i'm newbie so i take what its offer:) [17:43] is it possibile to use a floppy raw image with dosemu?

[17:48] its just a txt file called movieslist [17:48] M3TAPHYSICS: That is what I would check then,,seems like what you said is power related.

[18:31] onetinsoldier: yes === elpargo is now known as elpargo|Away [18:32] AphisOne: ok, less /var/lib/dpkg/status ...then search in less by using / [18:32] trmd_: see if there is a free (non-restricted) accelerated driver for your card, if you don't plan on gaming much it may work better than the restricted driver [18:32] AphisOne: search for the keyword 'deinstall' ...do you come up with anything? [18:33] AphisOne: errm, i don't think you will... instead [18:33] anyone know of a way to change screen orientation for intrepid ie from landscape to portrit ? ie for a monitor that rotates 90 degrees ? [18:33] onetinsoldier: yes... Status: deinstall ok config-files [18:33] oipat: Sorry... the problem is that some key combinations don't get the expected output (form example, typing acute+c should give me a cedilla, but instead gives me a ć)....

[18:37] lstarnes: as operator correct? [18:37] meoblast001: yes [18:37] meoblast001: also, for help with irspircd, they have their own channel (#inspircd on chatspike) [18:37] trmd_: the Ubuntu package is pretty much the same as the one from nvidia, but it has some very minor modifications to make it work in most circumstances [18:38] oipat: any clue what should be causing this issue? [18:38] lstarnes: they banned me because of an accident [18:38] trmd_: you need to make sure you properly remove the installed one from the website before you do anything else [18:38] spine55: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html then search for the first occurence of python [18:38] AphisOne: hello? you still here? [18:38] meoblast001: you do know how to use /msg right? [18:38] lstarnes: i joined with a different nick to ask why i was banned, then corrected the problem and request they have an op unban me....... they haven't done it yet [18:38] nibsa1242b, how do i do that?

Try looking for ops using /names #channel [18:39] AphisOne: do the following first before running it... sudo -i [18:39] nibsa1242b, also my CPU usage is very high [18:39] trmd_: you probably have to read the install script, and manually remove anything it added [18:39] trmd_: or you could just format and reinstall [18:40] lstarnes: that command lied to me Users on #inspircd: +CBX-AWAY janus jackmcbarn [18:40] there are more than that [18:40] meoblast001: it does not list +i users if you are not in the channel [18:40] lstarnes: so i fail? [18:41] ljungk: some people just install them in a seperate man dir where their app is. but i think most man pages sit in /usr/share/man [18:41] okay... onetinsoldier well it gives me the desired results... kind of... this telling me I have to uninstall stuff I need to reinstall those pakges [18:41] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> anyone here have trouble getting bitchx from apt-get?

I formatted it to ext3 using gparted, and then tried to add an entry to fstab to mount it, but it looks like my fstab entry might be remounting my first drive. [19:08] how does one get the absolute latest updates to ubuntu in order to test and help with development? [19:08] if thats possible. i only say that because of the amount of disk space it claims I have. [19:08] PlaidRadish: there is a "proposed" repository you can try [19:08] I made a change to xorg.conf and now the computer crashes at usplash. How I get back to the terminal now? [19:09] IkimashoZ: boot in recovery mode? I think you can just delete the xorg.conf and a new one will be created [19:09] Slart: please detail how I boot in recovery mode [19:09] I'm pretty sure I have "proposed" already enabled, unless you know of another one for jaunty [19:10] slart [19:10] if i have a LiveCD running off a USB stick, I apply package updates and then I do the install onto a computer's hard drive, will it come with all the package updates or will it be just as if I had installed from a clean LiveCD? [19:10] this is my fstab entry for the new drive: "/dev/sbd1 /media/second ext3 rw,user,exec 0 0" [19:10] how do I connect tun0 to go trough udp?

[19:10] PlaidRadish: register with launchpad i think. i don't know where exactly in launchpad you would file reports on Jaunty though. but anyway. download and install and run Jaunty Jackalope. it's the development version of Ubuntu if that's what you mean... and finally, /join #ubuntu+1 [19:11] PlaidRadish: nope.. that's the one [19:11] is there an interactive way to set up your fstab? [19:11] so i'm in the wrong irc channel? thanks.

[19:13] in73rc3p70r: nope.. I know next to nothing about wifi drivers, sorry [19:14] anytime I need to save something from any program, there is an enormous amount of lag (30 - 90+ seconds) before the Save dialog box comes up, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [19:14] in73rc3p70r, just use ndiswrapper [19:15] i need some kind or program or script to run on my ubuntu server that will watch a folder and automatically convert dvd folders(video_ts and audio_ts) to some other smaller format(avi mp4 dvx). [19:15] nibsa1242b: it does that even if you try doing the same thing right after you did it once? [19:15] Slart: yes, and it doesn't Matter what program, firefox, open office, gedit, etc [19:15] iplaythisgam: not sure if there is anything automatic.. you could create a script using mencoder or ffmpeg [19:15] nibsa1242b: that's not as descriptive as the problem report you gave earlier. you should probably make sure to mention the /tmp dir like you did earlier [19:15] if i've installed a new hard drive at /dev/sdb1 that is ext3, and I want to mount it to /media/second, then should my fstab entry look like: "/dev/sbd1 /media/second ext3 rw,user,exec 0 0" [19:16] when using scp to transfer files to another system. how do you make it get a whole directory [19:16] nibsa1242b: is your home folder almost full? [19:16] onetinsoldier: that only happens in FireFox, not any other application [19:16] nibsa1242b: ahh, roger [19:16] Slart: nope, I have 13.8GB free space in /home [19:16] nibsa1242b: does it have lots and lots of files? ie something like 500+ files/folders? [19:17] Slart: yes, there are probably ~200 folders alone from all of the .[program name] folders [19:17] why use NDISwrapper when there is a supported linux driver? [19:17] Hi Guy. I have a tunnel: tun0. How do I encapsulate udp 4500 to it? [19:18] nibsa1242b: I had an ext3 drive with about 600 folders in the root.. it also made me wait about 20 seconds for the file list to come up [19:19] Hi all! Where and who should I contact about massive powermanagement problems with Lenovo S10e Ideapad (propably something to do with hal? and atleast makes gnome-power-manager to die in any version of Ubuntu) [19:19] The thing is that i keep adding to my dvd folder collection but i want copies of them all in another (smaller internet movable) filetype. so i dont want to have to convert all 130+ by hand and then keep doing it when i get more. [19:19] how do i force a process to quit? [19:19] I think it is about the apic or acpi tables in bios, or so google told me [19:19] sweetgum: killall [19:19] Slart: I am using ext3; its annoying you'd think there would be a way to cache things or something. Sometimes applications like firefox hang and crash because it takes too long. [19:20] any1? [19:20] sweetgum: if that doesn't work... ps aux | grep name ...then look at the process's id number, and then sudo kill -9 ...pid = process id number [19:21] sweetgum: i meant... ps aux | grep [19:21] nibsa1242b: you could try creating a new home folder and copying all the files to it... see if that drive is any faster [19:21] nibsa1242b: but that's just a guess, really.. it could be something else too [19:21] !bug | AION89 [19:21] AION89: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:22] is there a speed/efficiency penalty of using ndiswrapper vs. native linux drivers (for wifi cards) [19:22] Slart: its probably that... and the fact that I have 6 mounted partitions; Maybe it takes a while for it all to work properly [19:22] How do I know what 'e2fsck' changed, which files were altered? [19:23] nibsa1242b: I doubt the 6 mounted partitions make a difference.. I have that too [19:23] <_Vi_> nibsa1242b: what i would do is install a light weight window manager like fluxbox, boot into that and try to see if you get the same problem. [19:24] Slart: I guess I'll just deal with it, it just gets annoying every now and again... and it doesn't happen on my laptop which has a similar number of files and folders in /home [19:24] _Vi_ I'll try that, thanks [19:25] MakeSense: hmmm, i don't know if they'd be listed in this log file, but i think they might be --> less /var/log/fsck/checkfs [19:25] <_Vi_> np [19:25] nibsa1242b: you might want to check the fragmentation level of the partition too.. people say it isn't a problem but in extreme cases it can still slow things down [19:25] onetinsoldier, thanks, I'll check it out (nick from Billy-Jack?) [19:25] thank god ext4 comes with a defragger [19:25] Slart: do I need to defrag from the live cd? [19:26] onetinsoldier: I thought it was possible to defrag ext3, with ext2 tools as ext3 is mostly backwards compatible [19:26] nibsa1242b: well.. here's the problem.. there is no defrag utility.. but I think chkdsk can report on fragmentation [19:26] MakeSense: i think so.. they played the song in that movie i guess. the group's name was 'The Coven' [19:27] what would be the best was to remove the mouse pointer from being displayed, I am running unclutter with 0 idle which works to hide it, but would there be a imple way to disable it completley? I tried commenting out the device lines in corg.conf but it still appears until unclutter can hide it. [19:27] nibsa1242b: nope.. i just looked at the info on that a couple days ago on en.wikipedia.org about the ext3 filesystem. the ext2 defrag util is not compatible [19:28] my dev server running 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3.3 started randomly giving me issues where some type of openDNS page I'm guessing a redirect because its not resolving... for some of the virtual hosts on the box. When I run traceroute on any of our subdomains i get hung up at: opendns.demarc.cogentco.com I'm pretty green when it comes to DNS and server admin in general but I was hoping someone could help me figure out if this [19:28] <_Vi_> devilsF00d: try #debian [19:28] k thank you [19:29] devilsF00d: I'm guessing one of the opendns servers is having a timeout [19:29] onetinsoldier, are you sure that's always generated, it's non-existent on my 8.1 intrepid? [19:29] onetinsoldier: ok, I didn't know... I thought that a properly unmounted ext3 fs was compatible with most ext2 tools. For example, I dual boot into WinXP, and I have the XP ext2 disk reader tool, and it reads ext3 partitions just fine [19:29] devilsF00d: but I'm no dns-export myself.. [19:29] Hi everyone.

[19:33] v8.10 [19:33] #ubuntu-es [19:33] <_Vi_> ah [19:33] AION89: I did a run-of-the-mill hardy netinstall... uneventful, everything worked out of then box [19:33] nibsa1242b: i've used the ext3 reader also for WinXP(ext2/ext3 IFS) but still, that's just a reader, no write function. and it probably takes more than just the ability to write to a filesystem to defrag it. for instance, we now have the ability to write to the ntfs fielsystem in linux with ntfs3g. but still, there is no native app in linux that can repair an ntfs filesystem, let alone defrag it [19:34] stefg: even the backlight brightness? [19:34] onetinsoldier: I use something that allows me to read and write to the ext3 partitions as if they were ext2 [19:34] Any ideas on what to do? [19:35] i have a microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 (MSNEK4K) which my kernel supposedly has the drivers for... but it's not showing up as a keyboard model in ubuntu 8.10. Any ideas how to get it to work? [19:35] Can someone please remnd me the file that the repo sites are listed in? [19:35] onetinsoldier: okay... I have the system back to start...

[19:36] sockets_, kde and qt libs will be installed when needed [19:37] fosco__, would it slow down my desktop? or should i try to stick with gnome applications on a gnome desktop? [19:37] I cant get the brightness applet work and messing out with it eventually causes the gnome-power-manager to die and never run again before re-install [19:37] nibsa1242b: that's because, as you said, they have a lot of backwards compatibility. however, read about how the ext2 defragger cannot defrag ext3 due to the journaling file in ext3(see the 'Defragmentation' section if nothing else) --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [19:37] sockets_, maybe [19:37] thanks [19:37] or maybe it is not listed as messing up while I just add it to panel [19:38] Is there any way to kick the VESA driver into reinitializing the screen backlight on power-up from a RAM-hibernate? [19:38] hello all! [19:38] AphisOne: ahh, roger that. how's it going so far? [19:38] btw: what do you guys use as an IMGBURN alternative? i can't find another ISO-burning software that has 1x burning [19:39] onetinsoldier: okay... just checking stuff.. but ready to start installing php4-cgi [19:39] sockets_: gnomebaker?

[19:43] NeoMatrixJR: you can google for REISUB while I try to find out if it's possible to do it over ssh [19:43] sockets_: roger. good luck. iirc i burned at 1x with gnomebaker just a little while back [19:43] I'm having trouble getting a Macbook unibody to turn the backlight on after resuming from RAM-sleep. I'm on 8.10 with VESA driver. Any hints? [19:44] anyone know how I can solve poor graphics issues on Live For Speed? [19:44] unquestioned: using wine?

I was just wondering if there was a way of doing it that didn't involve a keyboard.. perhaps setting some obscure setting in /proc somewhere [19:46] hola hay alguien [19:46] Slart: I tried "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger" (same as the b in reisub procedure) and I get a permission denied. sudo isn't working for me due to the io error [19:46] is there a LiveCD with an up-to-date version of Intrepid somewhere?

[20:06] Tunix12: problem is my computer freezes, also when I don't use the flv plugin... ever since I did not start firefox again, my computer froze only once! so it has to be firefox, because I can play youtube in epiphany and nothign happens [20:06] MisterK1: nvm, i do have that available i mispelled it [20:06] How do I uninstall something I built from source? I built it twice and installed it twice. I ran make uninstall and it seemed to have done so.

[20:08] RediXe: then I think you'll have to remove the files manually [20:08] Slart: holy crap I think I got it!!! [20:08] sometimes when I start ubuntu, it says it has no network connection. the only way to solve it is a restart. do you guys have this problem too or is it something with my router?

But the package itself doesn't show up in a search. I'll see if I can figure out where to report that as a bug! :) [20:08] hi all [20:08] Slart: /usr/bin/sudo (overrides use of regular sudo command) [20:09] NeoMatrixJR: oh.. so using /usr/bin/sudo works for you?

[20:09] Slart: had to use another linux box I had running and happenend to find a spare sudo command laying arround [20:09] stefg, should I enable this ipv6 or disable it' [20:09] Slart, yeah, but I was hoping the svn would offer a feature that the package in the repo's don't (turns out no the svn doesn't and svn also broke one of the things I need most) - anyway to figure out what files it made and where so I can remove them manually? [20:10] i need libqt4 for skype, trying to get it but it seems to be a task [20:10] Slart: any ideas how to keep a disk from going to "sleep"? [20:10] boxxy: i'd try to disable it... read the factoid, some routers have problems with ipv6 [20:10] RediXe: hmm.. you could check the version in the repos.. synaptic will give you a list of installed files..

[21:20] CyberGabber, Slart : i dont think so either. but as there are lots of new features i would like to update anyway.

[21:22] sry yaar did not work?// [21:22] davez0r: I don't think so.. try the alternate install cd [21:22] gah [21:22] !alternate | davez0r [21:22] davez0r: 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 [21:22] trying to avoid another download [21:22] thanks [21:22] davez0r: ah.. well.. afaik there's no way [21:22] can someone help me with apt-get/dpkg? [21:22] Slart: there is already a bug filed asking to backport it, but i dont think so for now... so, i think ill try to build from source. i just wanted to know if there is a known good method of updating to higher versions, wich has some dependencies like perl wich could easyly disort the package system [21:23] AphisOne: whats the problem? [21:23] Slart: For now I've settled with just copying the actual files from the DVDs to the harddrive. That kinda works, too. [21:23] damaltor: take a look at checkinstall.. that might help [21:23] !prevu | damaltor [21:23] damaltor: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [21:23] can someone help me im trying to take my cell phone thats plugged into usb and put mp3 on it [21:23] damaltor: I'm trying to install php4-cgi, but it conflicts with php5 and I need that [21:23] how can install software from dc rom in ubantu8.10 [21:23] Slart: kk thanks === Technoviking is now known as MikeB [21:23] what window manager would you recommend for the elderly? i want to make MASSIVE icons and simple-to-use interface. any recommendations? [21:23] damaltor: you're welcome [21:24] AphisOne: uninstall php5 before, then do "apt-get autoremove". then install php4 [21:24] davez0r: I guess gnome.. [21:24] woot fixed my ftp server prob [21:24] damaltor: as I just stated... I need php5 === MikeB is now known as Technoviking [21:24] ok now.. for some reason i cant copy files into my ftp-doc dir.... guess my user doesnt have enough permission.. how can i fix this? [21:24] yeah, gnome should allow resizing like that [21:24] davez0r: but that's just a personal opinion. [21:24] I have never setup ssh do I need to create a key file if it's just for use over my network? [21:25] using vsftp [21:25] im trying to put mp3 on my phone, its connected through usb, but the computer wont recognize it [21:25] testing [21:25] FireVai: sudo cp ? [21:25] evilGUI: ubuntu will create the keys for you [21:25] when I load amarok in ubuntu i get a dcopserver error [21:25] cdenny: it worked.. there is a channel for testing.. guess what it's called =) [21:25] yeah Slart but i thought i could just give my user priv to do it somehow [21:25] slart: im retarded [21:25] user__: so I have to copy the key from somewhere? [21:25] FireVai: you might be able to change the permissions on the folder you're trying to copy to [21:25] why when in evince do some pdfs look like CRAP except when text is highlighted it looks fine? [21:26] I'm installing Ubuntu Server and are going to ssh into this machine from my laptop [21:26] ok thanks Slart i will give er a go brb [21:26] AphisOne: php4 and php5 are not very compatible. i would not in any way recommend mixing anything between them. you _COULD_ download the .dep package by hand, and then force dpkg to install it. this _WILL_ massively disort your package system and propably your whole php setup. [21:26] evilGUI: no, package installation will generate a key for your openssh server, when you connect with the client for the first time you just need to confirm the key handshake. thats it [21:27] when i try to load amarok in ubuntu i get a dcoperror and it doesnt open [21:27] how can i put mp3 on my phone through usb? [21:27] damaltor: that's exactly what I need to do... but not sure how... php4 and php5 can work together if php5_mod and php-cgi... no problem then... just conflicts with the package system [21:27] damaltor: unless you know of something I don't [21:27] user___: ah cool that sound easy [21:27] anyone ever use KYLIX in UBUNTU? [21:27] what, php4 conflicts with php5 ? [21:27] whi [21:27] y [21:27] Um, I did a silly and set Ctrl+X to hide all windows on all workspaces, i have changed hide all windows on all workspaces function now, but how do i get everything else to recongise Ctrl+X? [21:28] Is there a way to change the "compose" key when my keyboard layout is "USA - International (AltGr dead keys)"? (Note: on console, not in X) [21:28] zash_, why would you need both php4 and php5? [21:28] I want my right-alt key back :) [21:28] !swap [21:28] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[21:28] anybody know why some PDFS look like crap in evince? [21:28] jove: it depends on what client you're using [21:29] jove, Please ask a whole question, what client do you use? [21:29] I tried choosing "Right Logo key" as my AltGr key, but it still leaves my right-alt as a "compose" key [21:29] *snap* [21:29] slart, the channel is different from this current ubuntu [21:29] jove: for xchat I think there is a menu item for servers and such [21:29] AphisOne: download the .deb-package somwhere, then use "man dpkg" and search for the "--force..." options. but i can tell you, that you will not be able to do anything with your package system anymore after that, because it knows that you should have php5 OR php4 and not both. you probably will not even be able to update anymore. [21:29] sockets_: maybe not today, since php4 is eol [21:29] anyone here use amarok? [21:29] how can I increase the size of a partition from a terminal? [21:29] * CoUrPsE|DeAd uses amarok. [21:29] comicinker: parted [21:30] CoUrPsE|DeAd: whenever I load it I get a dcopserver error and it fails to open [21:30] slart, I see the server on this IRC, but I could not find the button to add new server [21:30] Anyone know anything about Transparent network bonding? [21:30] :O no more defrags!.. i'm shocked. [21:30] fosco_: I don't have parted installed, neither have any internet connection on that box [21:30] AphisOne: another possibility would be to compile by hand. find source code, then make, then make install. this is not recognized by the package system. [21:30] cdenny, Never had the problem sorry. [21:30] CoUrPsE|DeAd: lmao, nevermind its working now for an unknown reason [21:30] damaltor: can I make the package system forget that php4 is installed? [21:30] cdenny, coo coo. [21:30] comicinker: so, fdisk, it will erase any content in the modiffied partitions [21:31] slayton: pdf is an iso standard, but evince might not implement the whole standard [21:31] cdenny, Infact i had problems when i first started t otry and use it, some error popped up, cant remember what it was, and i decided to try it again weeks later, and it worked. [21:31] AphisOne: probably not.. as i just said, maybe compiling by hand is the way to go. but dont take me responsibly to anything that might happen then :P [21:31] jove, You still havent said what irc client your using. [21:31] damaltor: and my main question was what the force option was to have it ignore confilcts, because I couldn't find it [21:31] jove: I don't use xchat myself so I don't really know what buttons are available and so on.. perhaps someone else can help you [21:31] then it has to be. thanks! [21:32] AphisOne: try --force-depends [21:32] damaltor: lol ... no prob [21:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd: i can rip music off my ipod using amarok right? [21:32] i have 2gb g.skill ddr2 800 ram, how much swap should i allocate? [21:32] slart, irc client is bugzilla.org [21:32] In Xchat, press Ctrl+T and it will open a new server status window. [21:32] damaltor: that just makes the package and dosn't install the packages that php4 requires [21:32] Greetings. Just recently put Ubuntu 8.10 on my new Dell Mini 9. I am having an issue where in certain dialog boxes I am unable to see the bottom of the box in order to click the buttons there. (Next, cancel, etc.) Is there some way to make it so that I can shrink the dialog boxes, or drag the tops of them off the screen so that I can click the buttons on them? [21:32] cdenny: depends on the iPod I believe. I have a new touch and it's not supported, but my old nano (2nd gen) is [21:32] phiq: in most cases 1gb will be enought === stdin_ is now known as stdin [21:32] AphisOne: kk wait a sec [21:32] cdenny, Yep. Assumming everything is working. [21:32] 1gb swap [21:33] lifenova: nano 3gen [21:33] fosco_: r u sure bro? [21:33] damaltor, you should be sure about why they conflict; if they both provide the same file (but conflicting versions of that file) just forcing is going to break something [21:33] hey all, back again... again. :P trying to install VMWare but not sure how, the installer is called "vmware-install.pl", how abouts to run that? [21:33] Google is not being very helpful in the various permutations I've been searching. [21:33] jove: are you sure? the program you're using to talk to us here.. you're not using xchat? [21:33] !swap > phiq [21:33] phiq, please see my private message [21:33] lol. [21:34] Citizen_Z: if you're using compiz you can hold Alt and click anywhere on a window to move it [21:34] MisterK1, sudo /path/to/vmware-install.pl [21:34] jove, Your using Xchat, press ctrl+T, then type /server servername here.,] [21:34] nickrud, AphisOne : yes that is waht i mean. i dont know what is the conflict. you should be able to install the package with --force-all, but i still dont think that is a good idea. [21:34] cdenny: I think that one is broken :( Unfortunately Apple broke compatibility with all their newer iPod models which stinks; I hear that there's a new version of libgpod which was responsible for being able to sync the old models, but don't really know the specifics; try googling? [21:34] nickrud: it said "bash: vmware-install.pl: command not found" [21:34] I am trying to use giver to share files between my desktop and laptop, and for some reason my laptop is not picking up my desktop, I have tried disabling firewalls, can anyone help me? [21:34] Slart: Hrm. I am not sure if compiz is on. I let 8.10 install with the defaults and only added a few things on. I will have to check. [21:34] slart, I press crtl T from here, it does not pop up anything ? [21:35] Sorry to be annoying, it's been a long time since I used Linux. [21:35] what is the best app to partition my disk? [21:35] has anyone installed unbuntu on an acer aspire? [21:35] jove: wrong person.. CoUrPsE|DeAd is the one you want to talk to [21:35] damaltor: what about modifing the status file so that dpkg doesn't complain in the future? [21:35] Hi all, does anyone know how to build this plugin (remove-duplicates-plugin-0.0.4.tar.gz) to use in Evolution Email Client ? [21:35] MisterK1, you can either type the full path to vmware-install.pl or do sudo bash vmware-install.pl ; your error simply means it can't find the file as you typed it [21:35] AphisOne: i have no idea how to do that, although it indeed should be possible. [21:35] what is the best app to partition my disk? [21:35] Citizen_Z: not sure if it starts compiz by default [21:35] MisterK1, I'm assuming it's on your desktop? [21:35] phiq: gparted is a good one [21:35] slart, I press crtl T ;;;it does not pop up for new server [21:35] cdenny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619615&highlight=video+ipod [21:35] phiq: gparted is one.. there are many [21:36] damaltor: okay... so using --force-all will install dependancies but not complain about confilcts? [21:36] its at /home/kyle/Desktop/vmware-distrib [21:36] jove: pay attention.. I wasn't the one who told you to press ctrl T.. [21:36] jove, ctrl+T doesnt open a pop p dialog or anything, it opens a new status window, if you have xchat in tree mode, look at the bottom down the left, if you have it in tab mode, look up top on the right., [21:36] !compile | ivan0921 [21:36] ivan0921: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [21:37] AphisOne: --force-all will ignore everything possible. it will unpack the archive and put the file in place, if it is not absolutely impossible to do so. === neto is now known as netoooo [21:37] he [21:37] MisterK1, then sudo /home/kyle/Desktop/vmware-distrib/vmware-install.pl should work, or sudo ~/Desktop/vmware-distrib/vmware-install.pl , or cd ~/Desktop/vmware-distrib && sudo ./vmware-install.pl ; all ways to access that file [21:37] Thanks [21:37] got it now actually, tried it again and it worked, thx [21:37] tray applet is gone. and i cannot see it in +add to panel menu. what should i do?

[23:03] I am behind a dsl router, ever since I started using bittorrent my firestarter firewall keeps reporting that it blocks portrequests from various IPs on port 6881, what I don't understand is why my dsl router routs these portrequests to mx 192.168.178.24 box and not for instance my laptop! how does it know where to send it? the only explanation I have is because these were somehow connections which were established FROM my own box, but then [23:03] why does my firestarter block these connections? [23:03] at boot time or just right from the os? [23:03] upnp is turned off [23:03] ilukester_: using open source router.

[23:06] So, I have a question. My sound doesn't work on my acer aspire one, and I've checked the volume control panel and also googled it and I have no idea where to start. If I plug speakers into the headphone jack it works, but not through the main speaker. Any Ideas? [23:07] ilukester_: yeah we have a couple of 5510's and 5505's @ work that i manage - im just about to do a similar project to your dual wan.

[23:08] vax_: the acer aspire one requires som extra messing around to work with ubuntu, have a look at http://kuki.me there is a new release coming soon that is based on ubuntu but comes preconfigured for the aspire one [23:09] ilukester_: we actually load balance a couple of DSL services with a billon or linksys dual wan load balancer. and then for hosting since right nxt to the exchange can hopefully get a optical service :) [23:09] n8tuser: they arrive on 6881 udp and I only have some other ports forwarded..

Version 0.8-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 51 kB, installed size 196 kB [23:17] Jack_Sparrow: i get buffer and squashfs errors when i try running fdisk or fsck [23:17] top is there for sure [23:18] when I try to rip a cd in ubuntu I dont get the option of CD Quality, MP3 [23:19] i only get flac or something [23:19] cdenny: have you tried grip? [23:20] saisuman, you still here? [23:20] hi im new to ubuntu and i need some help with wifi.... can someon in the right direction?e point me [23:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping cdenny [23:21] im doing it right now, but where can I choose where it rips it to? [23:22] aldipc-> your bittorrent client is initiating a connection to those other sharers [23:23] "Invalide encoder executable" [23:23] n8tuser: then why does my Firestarter block these portrequests? [23:24] n8tuser: I am not using a whitelist, but a blacklist for outgoing connections! [23:24] How i can install cinelerra? Install on ther homepage dont work.. [23:24] how to install RPM via terminal ? [23:24] hey guys, i have an external hdd that already has mac installed on it, so if i install ubuntu, is there a way to be able to use both operating systems? [23:24] rencx: kino is all you need! [23:25] jmk2: first.. dont!.. if you really really have to use alien [23:25] gnome or kde? which is a more stable environment? [23:25] !alien | jmk2 [23:25] aldipc i have kino i need cinelerra [23:25] jmk2: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [23:25] jmk2 Not a good idea [23:25] does grub have support for leopard? [23:25] jmk2: note those two words at the end... "dangerous" "unsupported".. do backups [23:25] alexb92: NO [23:26] <_Vi_> Is there a nice GUI backup app for Ubuntu? [23:26] ohk [23:26] aldipc -> dont know, im not privy to your iptables rules, would you care to post them? [23:26] wes_: so theres no viable way to have both on the same hdd under different partitions? [23:26] simplebackup [23:27] _Vi_: haven't seen one.. I forget what I use.. it's been running the last 2 years without any problems..sbackup perhaps [23:27] Slart: my server uses RHAT 5 Enterprise. [23:27] <_Vi_> Slart: ok ty ill try that === jeff_ is now known as nathrite [23:27] What is the best way to install an operating system with a flash drive on Ubuntu? [23:28] Rencx: I found this page - http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/README [23:28] jmk2: eh.. then why do you need an ubuntu way to install rpms? [23:28] I connected laptop through hdmi to tv, however it seems my xorg.conf is not correct. I have no idea how I have to modify xorg.conf to use the tv monitor. See http://paste.ubuntu.com/108785/ [23:28] VaxNam -> come again? [23:28] n8tuser2: I just use the basic ubuntu box and have only added a couple of emule ports and 2 in the 50000 range for another bittorrent client I once used.. that's it [23:28] Rencx: which version of ubuntu do you have it may be in the packages deb [23:28] VaxNam: Installing flash->hd, cd->flash ? [23:28] it's obvious that 6881 is shut [23:29] is there a similar application to mathematica for linux? [23:29] n8tuser2: Installing from Flash to HDD [23:29] Slart: don't need to install in ubuntu. but i want to install on rhat. i'm used to installing deb via APT. [23:29] redvamp128, 8.10 [23:29] aldipc -> nope its not obvious, and your statements are not adequate to see what the rules are, either you post them or we'll be guessing all day [23:29] Slart: just not familiar with RHAT installing rpm. [23:29] ahh then that won't work [23:29] jmk2: then why ask in an ubuntu support channel?.. why not try one of red hats support options? [23:29] n8tuser2: okay.. how do I see my rules? [23:30] That one is one about fiesty [23:30] jmk2 Probably should find yourself a redhat support channel [23:30] jmk2: you won't need alien to install an rmp in redhat [23:30] genii: I guess I mean Installing an operation system using a flashdrive, right now i'm in ubuntu though. [23:30] jmk2, it would be something utilizing yum probably [23:30] VaxNam -> you have the iso in a flash? and now you can boot to them like a livecd? then from live you should be able to install to the hdd [23:30] Slart: LOL oops .... you're ABSOLUTELY right! thx. lost my head there ;) [23:30] aldipc -> sudo iptables -vL [23:30] n8tuser2: I need to find a way to put the ISO to a flash and make it bootable. [23:30] jmk2: no worries =) [23:31] n8tuser2: I've tried using that netbootUI and it didn't work correctly. [23:31] !install [23:31] VaxNam -> does your pc have a cdrom or dvd drive? [23:31] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [23:31] n8tuser2: I'm on a netbook, so no. [23:31] Jack_Sparrow, can we talk? [23:31] Using Sound Juicer to try to copy a CD, not too impressed so far. [23:31] hey all. i just booted up an ubuntu live cd and i need to reinstall grub on my mbr anyone have a link to how to do that [23:31] VaxNam pendrivelinux can also be a good source [23:31] VaxNam -> what went wrong with unetbootin? [23:31] Rencx Briefly [23:32] !grub | ubuntu [23:32] ubuntu: 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 [23:32] Says "Insert writable disk", so I do... but then just says "Error writing to disk. There was an error writing to the disc" [23:32] wtf? [23:32] n8tuser2: it says iptables v1.3.8 [23:32] aldipc -> post in pastebin [23:32] Jack_Sparrow about DV video and how to make it smaler, what you recomend me to do? [23:32] ty [23:32] Araneidae Please lose the wtx.. it isnt needed or wanted in here [23:32] n8tuser2: It didn't copy the files correctly or something, it said it was complete but when i tried to boot from the flash drive, it didn't work. [23:32] wtx? [23:32] n8tuser2: it only gave me the version number [23:32] <_Vi_> !ohmy | Araneidae [23:32] Araneidae: Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [23:33] Sigh. Yes, busy channel, aggressive bots. Get the picture [23:33] Rencx: this one appears to be the one you want [23:33] redvamp128, ok ty i will try it out [23:33] Rencx: Index of /~gandalf/ubuntu just follow it to intrepid [23:33] Rencx trying to make a video smalled /shorted etc? [23:33] Anyhow, is there any way to get *useful* messages out of "Sound Juicer"? [23:33] Rencx: I have no idea what hvirtual is [23:33] I have a question. Do I have to wait or can I just ask? [23:34] n8tuser2: it only gave me the version number, how do I list my iptables rules? [23:34] Hi, is it possible to encrypt, other file formats (not only text files) with GnuPG? I've tried with PDF and a few other formats, but I can only decrypt them on the machine I encrypted [23:34] <_Vi_> Jun just ask [23:34] Rencx: there is a cinelerra looks like version 2.1.0 in a deb form on that site [23:34] salve ragazzi [23:34] see how easy we can ignore your question :D [23:34] Jack_Sparrow, to make it form 13GB to about 500mb in good quality [23:34] VaxNam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [23:34] ho da fare qualche domanda su linux4one [23:34] Jun, you'll be damned lucky to get a sensible answer though :( [23:35] Rencx: Is that what you were looking for? [23:35] ok, i got it to rip and encode, but its showing up as "unknown" [23:35] genii: Thanks, I've tried a lot of stuff there. [23:35] Is it possible to disable IPV6 - if I have a buggy router that chokes on it? [23:35] Ok, I keep trying to update my software on my EEE PC, which is currently running ubuntu. But every time I do, I get this: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [23:35] <_Vi_> Araneidae: no ones getting paid here, please be nice :( [23:35] redvamp128 yes i will look and try to install it [23:35] Rencx http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370095 [23:35] Araneidae: have you tried one of the other disc burning tools? Gnomebaker or Brasero? [23:36] I saw that once on when a system crashed (needing to manually re-do stuff) [23:36] Then when I go to run that, I get this weird message. [23:36] someone can help me with linux4one? [23:36] i used soundjuice to rip from an audio cd I made with different sounds on it, but now the songs are shown as unknown [23:36] I've tried `dd if=/dev/cdrom1 of=myfile.iso`, but that didn't work so well [23:36] is it possible that the darn thing is going to sleep on ou? [23:36] Jun: you might (also?) want to check in at #ubuntu-eeepc [23:36] Sorry, I can't cope with this frantic channel! Think the language constraints are part of the high traffic [23:37] redvamp128, ty it will work :) [23:37] A-ha! Thank you. [23:37] can yo turn off all power mgmt? [23:37] cdenny: what program do you use to rip? [23:38] n8tuser2: it only gave me the version number, how do I list my iptables rules? [23:38] aldipc: soundjuicer === burkmat is now known as burkzzz [23:38] hey guys, how can i make a shell script continue after pressing on any key? [23:38] aldipc: or "audio cd extractor" [23:38] <_Vi_> Araneidae: you should see how dead/unhelpful other distros are , lucky if there's more than 25 people, that just idle all day and you get an answer 5 hours later :) [23:39] <_Vi_> other channels i meant [23:39] smokie: why would the script be halted? [23:39] Hmmm I think there's a way to background a script - I'd have to look it up in Unix Nutshell book by O'Reilly [23:39] _Vi_, yeah, you're quite right. I'll try here... [23:39] To use UNetbootin, does the ISO have to be on the local system, or can the USB be configured on another computer and then used on the local system? [23:39] cdenny: try grip, install it with synaptics [23:39] aldipc -> sudo iptables -vL [23:39] Ok, trying: dd if=/dev/scd0 of=file.iso bs=1024 [23:39] oCean_, for the user to read a msg for example [23:39] Result: dd: reading `/dev/scd0': Input/output error [23:40] oCean_, and continue after hes done reasing [23:40] aldipc: it doesnt work [23:40] Any suggestions? [23:40] aldipc: i get an error [23:40] Really getting nowhere copying my cd :( [23:40] aldipc: invalide encoder executable [23:40] Question: Can I turn off ipv6 in ubuntu? [23:40] smokie: ok. does it *have* to be 'any' key, or can it be the c (for continue) [23:40] Araneidae Is this a data cd or some sort of copy protected cd? [23:41] <_Vi_> !backup | Araneidae (one of these links i forget which have really nice dd copy commands)... [23:41] Araneidae (one of these links i forget which have really nice dd copy commands)...: 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 [23:41] !ipv6 [23:41] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [23:41] It's a plain old audio C, I think [23:41] Just trying to copy an audio CD [23:41] oCean_, yeah sure it can ofcourse [23:41] cdenny: go to synaptics and search for LAME or MP3, then try to install some encoder packages which are probably missing in your setup! [23:41] it can b a fixed key [23:41] ubottu: Thx! [23:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about Thx! [23:41] smokie: ok, wait a moment, i have an example [23:41] np [23:42] alright oCean_, thanks [23:42] Does UNetbootin have to have the ISO on the local machine to work with a USB install? [23:42] <_Vi_> sorry Araneidae i know everyone is just throwing websites at you.. but I'm kinda new myself :) but it was just today that i seen really nice dd copy commands on those sites [23:42] !cloning [23:42] 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 [23:42] !sbackup [23:42] 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 [23:42] n8tuser2: http://pastebin.com/d66e2b7b8 [23:43] Think I'll go and see if my OSX box can read it... [23:43] Does UNetbootin have to have the ISO on the local machine to work with a USB install? [23:43] aldipc -> you have bunch of complex rules, so I would expect what you observed, block ports [23:43] smokie: well, at least i thought i had.. haha.. searching now.. [23:43] VaxNam: yES [23:44] VaxNam -> no, it is supposed to download it [23:44] genii: Thank you [23:44] Bleh, capslock [23:44] oCean_, np .. im searching around too while i asked here [23:44] n8tuser2: What? [23:44] n8tuser2: that is what I already know, I just want to know how these packets arrive at my box from behind a NAT router [23:44] VaxNam -> umm unetboot the key there is net? access to the net so it can download what is required [23:44] smokie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108795/ have a look [23:45] n8tuser2: It needs a local copy of the ISO to work though as genii said. [23:45] n8tuser2: As I understand, you loopmount the iso file of the cd as described in the url I posted earlier, use unetbootin to make the usb bootable, etc, then copy the loopmounted files of the cd iso to the usb [23:46] I'm going to try using it once more to see if it will work, It seems that UNetbootin won't detect the media on the HDD for some reason. [23:46] genii -> perhaps thats another way, but my understanding is unetbootin is it does not require the iso to be local, thats why the key word was netbooting [23:46] oCean_cool that did it [23:46] i can just add this in the middle of my shell script where ever i wanted it to say it, right? [23:47] Does anyone have some expirience on video editing on linux? [23:47] smokie: sure. You'll just have to make the 'continue' part :) [23:47] Rencx Did you look at winff [23:47] VaxNam -> here is a tutorial http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/08/13/howto-linux-from-usb-the-easy-way-with-unetbootin/ [23:48] Thank you n8tuser2 [23:48] bye [23:48] Jack_Sparrow yes but it dont help me much because i dont now the format who works on linux and windows and i can edit it easy laiter [23:49] oCean_, cool let me give that a try [23:49] Rencx Sounds like you have some reading to do === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [23:49] does anyone here can help me how to config ldap under Webmin interface?
