I already have transmissioncli for torrents but wondered if there was a cli program like limewire [00:14] Hello folks, thx in advance for your advice. I've got 2 ATI 4850 1GB cards in crossfire on my system, but so far, I've been unable to activate crossfire. It's just not an option in catalyst control center. Does anyone know if crossfire is supported in ubuntu or not? I have searched for an answer on google, but have been unable to find an answer. [00:15] is the "Only allow local connections" option broken for Remote Desktop? netstat only shows it listening on ip6-localhost:5900 so i can't ssh tunnel in [00:15] !ask > saharchuk [00:15] saharchuk, please see my private message [00:15] Does anyone know how to use p2p networks over cli? [00:15] soreau i read the community/webcam page which was forwarded both by you and Jack Sparrow [00:15] <_jas> is there a file somewhere that determines the fontsize of the virtual terminals? [00:15] <_jas> mine seem to be scrolling off the screen [00:15] can someone help me? [00:16] Jimmey: Still looking for the link, but in the mean time, you could check your /etc/sysctl.conf, i believe ubuntu's defaults still use dsl connection speed settings. If you've got broadband you can tweak those settings... [00:16] Hey, i just installed the LAMP tools, specifically sudo aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 [00:16] Okay, I'm confused.

[00:16] can u answer me how im whois myself from QuakeNet to this server? [00:16] drash, thanks I'll look. [00:16] Jimmey: ok, i'll get the link in the mean time [00:16] sirjoebob try amulecli [00:17] i just looked that one up and am installing it now. thanks for the tip [00:17] And then I restarted apache, then installed a php app. Everything went fine, and when I ask for http://localhost/beta1/index.php it works fine, but when I ask for http://localhost/beta1 firefox tells me apache wants me to download a PHTML file. [00:17] Anybody know anything on that? [00:18] <\kira> When I start up ubuntu, grub freezes at stage1.5 and reports error 18. The grub website says this is a issue were "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" even though I havnt changed much. Someone else was using the system, but it froze half way through loading ubuntu, then she did a hard restart, and the GRUB problem appeared. Any help? [00:18] Has anybody seen jim_p?

[00:58] neo_188, what motherboard? [00:58] * jp_sf . o O (the idea for i-am-the-slime to reboot and cleanly shutdown is copyrighted I have already said that) [00:58] i just installed alien and then used the -d to make a .deb from a .rpm, but it made a .run instead, what am i doing wrong? and i looked at the --help already [00:58] Is anyone now why i dont have sound on RUneScape it is java based game.. Can it be because of pulseaudio remove? [00:58] again when i inserted my nvidia card back into api slot i am getting this problem [00:58] i-am-the-slime, yeah, it will mark the disk as clean [00:58] Anacranom: well that wasn't very smart [00:58] alien is a mess [00:58] well this isn't the first time i try this [00:59] would that mean that it never marks the disk as clean? [00:59] ah, gotta go, work ends and ride is waiting [00:59] Schuenemann: edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group (and /etc/shadow?) and change the UID to match the one your home is owned by [00:59] really IndyGunFreak ? i use all the time at work.. [00:59] !alien | Anacranom [00:59] Anacranom: 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) [00:59] i would check out if it isnt blacklisted [00:59] what is blacklisted [00:59] Anacranom: its not very smart(at all) to use it.... your best bet is to compile from source if you must [00:59] ok... good to know IndyGunFreak [00:59] hello [00:59] zcat[1], what exacly should I change? [01:00] i mean i would check out if your graphics card isnt blacklisted [01:00] dpawe31 is there something I should do now after running the conf file ?? [01:00] kantlivelong: it happens on wifi card that are not fully supported [01:00] kantlivelong: yes you can see the AP but you can't connect [01:00] zcat[1], you mean the line that has my user? [01:00] Schuenemann: where it says 'schunenemann:x:1000:1000...' change all the 1000's to 500's [01:01] Is anyone now why i dont have sound on RUneScape it is java based game..

[01:02] what folder are other networked computers stored at? [01:02] it shows at the lower right corner, I want to move it to the top right [01:02] Schuenemann: yeah, I think you only need to change the UID and GIDs in /etc/passwd and /etc/group [01:02] * jp_sf . o O (wow so many ops ?) [01:03] How does the install determine what partition to download? [01:03] zcat[1], can you tell me how to edit it with vi? I can delete text, but not add [01:03] jedi06: To download? [01:03] Schuenemann: use nano if you're in ubuntu. vi is horrible! [01:03] Schuenemann, i like insert [01:03] Flannel to install to [01:03] amen to that zcat [01:04] jedi06: Ah. It asks you! [01:04] it wants me to reize my xp partition i want to install it over fedora [01:04] jedi06: Right, so do manually partitioning instead of guided [01:04] although if you press insert it tends to work for me in vi...but i think its 'i' to add...not sure though [01:04] jedi06: Then tell it to install / overtop of your other partition [01:04] what command do i use to find out my server address? [01:04] jp_sf, ok, insert allowed me to insert the number, but then the line vanished and some letters appear when I use arrows [01:04] arfree did u get my problem [01:05] It doesn't see it Flannel [01:05] the onlt vi commands I know are i to insert and !wq to save and quit [01:05] Schuenemann: i to add or a to add to next character [01:05] Schuenemann: after hit Esc to get out of insert mode and navigate [01:05] ok, nano looks easier [01:05] what command do i use to find out my server address? in ubuntu intredid? [01:05] MethinX, ifconfig [01:05] thanks [01:05] well from what i can think is that the graphics card you have isnt supported, but i dont know, im not massive on Nvidia [01:06] alright [01:06] omg [01:06] where can i find a answer to this problem [01:06] have you googled it? [01:06] zcat[1], I changed the uid in /etc/passwd, but I can't edit /etc/groups. An error message says uid 1000 doesn't exist in /etc/passwd! [01:06] dpawe31 what should I do next ? [01:06] so.... apt-get upgrade didn't work to get the kernel source.... how do i get the latest kernel source? [01:06] FrustratedUbuntu: You need to use dist-upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:07] where is the nvidia question [01:07] okay... ill try that right now [01:07] neo [01:07] ok thanks i'll try to find one [01:07] yes arfree [01:07] neo, werLD might be able to help [01:07] Schuenemann: Ummm.. this is one of those times you wanted to use 'sudo -i' and work in a root shell. Oops [01:07] neo_188: what is your problem ? [01:07] zcat[1], sorry, I don't follow you [01:08] hey thanks ill contact him [01:08] it says: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [01:08] s [01:08] neo_188: nvidia, has a default driver built into ubuntus packing. but you can download a more robust nvidia driver from nvidia.com and compile that driver [01:08] Schuenemann: Well, now you're logged in as user 1000 but there isn't a user 1000 in /etc/passwd now so sudo doesn't know who you are.. [01:08] guys is it possible to duplicate a user account and ALL of their settings? [01:09] werLd: well the 180 are on synaptic [01:09] wer, he cant get in to Ubuntu on his current graphics card [01:09] how to do that [01:09] I think that's how it works anyway [01:09] i am new to ubuntu [01:09] i want to create several users with the same exact set up for everything [01:09] nooblar: [01:09] nooblar: Sure, their settings are all stored in their homedir. So just copy it (and change ownership to the new user) and you're set. [01:09] neo_188: could you do a dmes | NVRM [01:09] Why am I unable to play DVDs? When I try to play them, I get various errors; for example, in VLC, I get "libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable." [01:09] just copy the contents of the main user folder [01:09] is there a way to free up alot of HDD space when im pressed for space? [01:09] zcat[1], I can restore /etc/passwd and change /etc/groups first, ten [01:09] to the other folders of the new users [01:09] neo_188: could you do a dmesg | NVRM [01:09] awesome, thanks! [01:10] spastic...have you enabled the restricted repository [01:10] i wonder if the programs would need to have their directory settings changed though? [01:10] lol wput can handle file >2gb? [01:10] sisterblue read this http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ [01:10] nooblar: for example : copy -R /home/user1/* /home/user2 [01:10] <_Vi_> is there a way to get more panel applets? [01:10] jp_sf, he can show you the dmesg, but most likely he needs to configure xorg.conf [01:10] can't* [01:10] cp* [01:10] neo_188: I mean dmesg | grep NVRM === Figgie is now known as Figgie123 [01:10] alright.... so ive been trying to get my wireless card to work for hours upon hours.... ive tried all the how-tos and help sites, and i finally got a driver that i need to compile [01:10] Schuenemann: ummm probably the thing to do is boot into a single-user root shell and edit the files from there. [01:10] it keeps telling me that the file doesnt exist [01:10] but.... when i try to compile it, i get: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic' [01:10] scripts/Makefile.build:41: /home/nicholas/rtl8180-0.21/Makefile: No such file or directory [01:10] Blackfate, nooblar: no, that won't quite work. Since * won't expand to hidden things. But something similar. [01:11] im runin ubuntu on a flash drive as my harddrive, is there a way i can make it work faster (make more work off ram?) [01:11] ahh [01:11] werLd: if he have the latest driver installed from synaptic he could do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:12] isnt synaptic laptop touchpad drivers, etc? [01:12] Curious about options to install 8.10 since the main and alternate install's are failing. [01:12] Flannel: cp -R /home/user1/.* /home/user2 ? [01:12] but after copying the home folder to user2, it's likely that some of those config files point to /home/user1 (which wouldn't work) [01:12] WerLd: I mean Synaptic package Manager [01:12] hello [01:12] hello flakeparadigm [01:13] can anyone tell me what the samplerate library is? [01:13] jp_sf: got you.. [01:13] nooblar: you mean like ownership etc? [01:13] nooblar: the config files tou need are the hidden ones [01:13] * The samplerate (a.k.a. secret rabbit code) library. [01:13] i mean, like maybe some programs are pointing to specific folders [01:13] like /home/user1/ [01:13] Laurenceb: sounds (ah ah ah) like a audio things [01:13] jp_sf: well that may work but probably wont..ahah either edit xorg.conf manaully, or perhaps easiest way for him is to reinstall linux with new graphics card installed, or write us a check and give us ssh/root access to do it for him ... [01:14] where do I apt get it? [01:14] or how even? [01:14] dpawe31 ok I read the page I think i have linux 2.6 kernel (i'm using ubuntu 8.10) sorry, i am a newbie and am not sure what i should do next [01:14] Could anyone here help me setup a network bridge? I would like to use my desktop's wireless connection (ath0) as an uplink for a network switch that I am connecting using the wired connection (eth0) [01:14] nooblar: usually programs dont point to user directories... [01:14] nooblar: only if you told em to [01:14] Schuenemann: http://www.securitypronews.com/it/operatingsystems/spn-22-20040209LostRootPasswordLinux.html is sort of what you want, just ignore the parts about using vi and ou're changing uids and gids, not the root password... [01:14] i mean in the configs [01:14] like for instance [01:14] if picasa or something was set to watch a certain folder for user1 [01:15] jp_sf: i did not get u can u explain in detail [01:15] then if i copy user1's home with all configs, those will still be set to watch home of user1? [01:15] anyone know of a program to moniter the system fan? [01:15] i guess i'll just try it and see if everything works [01:15] nooblar: you choose what you copy... folders like .picasa can be deleted afterwards from the new folders [01:16] neo_188: I didnt realize it was hanging even during the install, try to boot linux with: noacpi acpi=no [01:16] not all configs should be copied [01:16] neo_188: not sure what you problem is I scrolled up but didn't find much information, you want to install a nvidia card ? === five is now known as Guest29380 [01:16] how to do that === Guest29380 is now known as omg === omg is now known as youwe [01:16] umm.... im trying to "make" a driver, but when make runs, all the files disappear by themselves.... and thne it gives me an error that the makefile can't be found [01:16] anyone know how to fix this? [01:16] can someone help me w/ network manager and atheros AR5008? [01:17] kantlivelong: Did you checked the link I provided ? [01:17] neo_188: if you already have a linux part installed, you can go to the grub menu and hit 'e' for edit. then append the bootline with: noacpi acpi=no, let me try to get u a example [01:17] jp_sf: yes its not the driver [01:17] ok i just installed windows xp on a 30 gig partition for gaming and it wiped grub from my mbr so i booted in live cd and fixed grub but now winxp is not listed in the menu [01:17] kantlivelong: you have installed madwifi ? [01:18] thanks blackfate and flannel [01:18] Why does the install think files are corrupt, when I run an md5sum and it matches? [01:18] kantlivelong: are you on 8.10 ? [01:18] youwe, download "supergrubdisk" and do the automatic fix [01:18] nooblar: np [01:18] Hello [01:18] yo [01:18] taggie, ok thnx [01:18] can anyone please hep me? im almost going crazy [01:18] jp_sf: yes [01:18] how do we split tar file into multiple parts? [01:18] you tell me ;) [01:18] jp_sf: i can manually connect using the CLI [01:19] kantlivelong: ok what you could do is to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces [01:19] kantlivelong: sudo [01:19] does linux have counter-strike>? [01:19] Is there a different IRC channel for help in installing 8.10? [01:19] MethinX: yes and no [01:19] jp_sf: to do what? [01:19] MethinX: you could see if people got wine to run CS under linux [01:20] i run CS with no issues in wine [01:20] i refuse to use windows thou [01:20] well.... im having a problem "making" this driver for rtl8180... all file in the source directory disappear after i run make, and then make says that it can't find the makefile that was just there [01:20] been windows free for 6 days [01:20] MethinX: there is no native steam support yet but the steam client does have the code for linux [01:20] grats [01:20] <_Vi_> !yay | MethinX [01:20] MethinX: Glad you made it! :-) [01:20] <_Vi_> :) [01:20] kantlivelong: and put the configuration of your wifi with auto wlan0 (if your wifi card is wlan0) then iface wlan0 inet dhcp (if you are on dhcp the wireless-key your wireless key the wireless-essid your essid [01:20] jp_sf: id rather use network manager ;| [01:20] hey it was hard leap but I did it and am not regreting anything! [01:21] Can I copy install files to a separate file system, and then install from there somehow? [01:21] kantlivelong: your call :-) but another solution is to use wifi-radar (it was made more or less obsolete by the network manager) [01:21] This is on a hard drive that has no OS. [01:21] MethinX: i said wine not windows [01:22] MethinX: wine is a program under linux that runs windows applications without being in windows [01:22] ok werld i thought wine was windows sorry [01:22] np [01:22] Figgie in order for the other computer to install the file it has to know what to do with it, this is the OS's job, so without an OS its not possible [01:22] has anyone found answers with the buffer error device sr0 on the 8.1 install? [01:22] MethinX: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games-multimedia-entertainment/27887-counter-strike-wine.html [01:22] I have a list of files, one per line in a file. can I somehow pipe it into rm to delete all of them? [01:23] Is it possible to emulate already installed windows inside ubuntu? [01:23] MethinX: you may have to google search more sites to get it working.. [01:23] I shall thank you [01:23] xnox: xargs rm < list [01:23] xnox : look at building a shell script using "for each" [01:24] arfee: Thanks. I'm trying to use the LiveCD, but everytime I go to install on this machine (PentiumII/300Mhz, 327ram) it says a file is corrupt, but when I check the md5sum's they're fine. [01:24] MethinX: im glad u arent regretting losing windows. i sure dont, gaming is one of theo nly reasons i still need windows [01:24] Hi, Ive got a DVD drive that I want to force to unmount ( it says there is an application blocking it)... how cna I force the unmount of what device? [01:24] jp_sf: thanks a lot =D [01:24] I've tried the main install, and the alternate install, and running livecd, then running Install, but nothing works. [01:24] does a swap partition _need_ to be as big as my ram? [01:24] aolong: I'll look at that as well. thanks. [01:24] PC_Nerd1: if you have the dvd mounted in /mnt/dvd, make sure you arent in that same dir when u try unmounting it [01:24] phixxor: what's your ram? [01:24] This time, on the alternate CD, it said tzdata, and xfonts-terminus were corrupt, but the md5sum is okay. [01:24] then maybe you have a problem with the burning process, have you tried burning from another pc? [01:24] 1gb, but soon to be 4 gb [01:24] I'm looking for help installing my Wacom tablet. I can't follow the directions :( [01:25] running form ~, its mounted to /media/ [01:25] command to search repo via apt-get (i cant remember!) [01:25] I dont know what teh device is.. /dev/disk? [01:25] well as far as gaming for me I am trying to keep it Liunx only or find ways to make windows games work in Linux, I refuse to buy Vista or any other installment of windows as for It made me not expand my horizons [01:25] I've not tried to burn from another PC. [01:25] jimi: apt-cache search [01:25] But I can't figure out why the md5sum is clean, and it says it's corrupt. [01:25] xnox: 1gb but I'm upgrading to 4 [01:25] phixxor: if you want susspend and hybernate than yes your swap should be just as big (i usually go for a little more though e.g. 1.4) [01:25] How can I prevent a usb device being auto-mounted when I insert it? Is it HAL that manages this? [01:25] How do I fix this error? [01:25] E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glib2.0/libglib2.0-0_2.16.4-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80] [01:25] is this the ISO checksum?

[01:45] Blackfate: thanks! [01:45] dayzman: looks like it yes [01:45] As far as I know, pasting those line into the xorg file is what you need to do.

[02:22] MethinX: dont think so - just do mount -a [02:23] slackerksg5: sorry, I don't know about 64bit. I say stick with 32bit for regular usage.

[02:36] i installed the user agent switcher but there is no test button so how will i know if it works? [02:36] how do i use the command line to search? [02:37] i used places-search for files [02:37] losher, there appears to be a patch which provides per-torrent throttling. http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/20#comment:17 [02:37] MisterK1: whats wrong? [02:37] robertzaccour: open a terminal, then [02:37] robertzaccour: sudo updatedb [02:37] then locate "search string" [02:37] $:locate "this and that" [02:37] right, you have to updatedb [02:37] w/o quotes [02:37] Bossmanbeta: thanks, I will check that out. Good find! [02:37] <_Vi_> add a |less to that command at the end [02:37] it will make your most recent files appear [02:37] hi. Ive appended /usr/local/apache2/bin to PATH in the /etc/bash.bashrc file now a regular use can run a program in there, however because it needs to be run with root... when i sudo apachectl start, it tells me that the command is not found... ive cheked by su - that PATH in root does have the added directory. any ideas on how to make the PATH addition globally (as in working globally? ) [02:38] danbhfive: its coming up "Problem with Audio" [02:38] -->no quotes necessary unless you have more than a word in filename [02:38] PC_Nerd1: how about access rights? [02:38] danbhfive: to be precise "Problem with Audio Playback" [02:39] iajrz don't need quotes even then, can do: /path\ to/file\ name.ext [02:39] MisterK1: go to the preferences, and the audio section. Try out different devices for the playback. Click the test sound to see if its working [02:39] PC_Nerd1: you have to put it in sbin [02:39] how can I format a usb? [02:39] ah - access rights. ty ill check [02:39] i installed the user agent switcher but there is no test button so how will i know if it works? [02:39] danbhfive: tried all audio out options [02:39] losher, the patch is from 2007 though :( ... a bit odd that they'd put out a patch but not then release it in a new version later (in 2 yrs?!) [02:39] danes_: with gparted [02:39] danes_: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/whateverdeviceyourusbstickis === cool is now known as ChewyNet9 === ChewyNet9 is now known as ChewyNet1 [02:39] lol OxDeadC0de, it's easier "path to file", at least for me :P [02:40] easier to explain to newer people, too [02:40] #c++ [02:40] should I do all the partitions primary on the usb? [02:40] danes_: how many do you want to create? [02:40] akurei, at least two or three [02:41] Bossmanbeta: I've tried building various versions of rtorrent/libtorrent in the past and had endless problems with dependencies etc. I'm not impressed by the coding/project management of rtorrent [02:41] if <=4 use primary. else logical [02:41] ok, the program is owned by root, and can be run by root.... but it cannot be run by sudo apachectl on a normal user. [02:41] is the user in the sudoers file? [02:41] however the normal user has full root permissions with sudo... ive set the sudoers like =ALL(ALL) or however it goes [02:41] losher, from that thread I linked the author is likely going to put this patch into the trunk and release it in a new version... I have no interest in compiling the patch myself .. not my forte playing with SVN revisions [02:41] ok... strange ^^ [02:41] PC_Nerd1: not only on bin, but also has to be on sbin [02:42] I want to strip unicode from my cupsd.conf file, but i'm not sure how. What can I use to do that? [02:42] or so I remember [02:42] PC_Nerd1, do sudo env | grep PATH [02:42] what to you mean on sbin? [02:42] akurei, I've done two partitions using fdisk, but the secondary partition is not recognized in windows. I formated it using mkfs.vfat /dev/usb2, but it doesnt show up on windows [02:42] lemme xplain [02:42] ok... the output from that is "PATH=~~~~~~~~~~~~~" it doesnt have my url in there.... restart? [02:42] danes_, /dev/usb2 ? where did that come from? [02:42] akurei, do you know what can I do to make both partitions show up on windows? [02:43] Are there any wireshark guru's here who can explain why I'm having so many tcp connections to craigslist? http://paste.ubuntu.com/108839/ [02:43] danes_ i don't know much about usb sticks on windows, but it could be that windows only recognizes just one partition? [02:43] Dr_willis, well, it is actually /dev/sdb2 [02:43] i'm not that windows expert [02:43] losher, there is a way to mitigate it though... if you go to the FILE LIST (right arrow on an active torrent) you see the files downloading in the torrent. if you select one and hit the SPACEBAR, you can change the file's download status to OFF (dont DL) or high, meaning high priority... [02:43] thumbdrives under windows - with more then 1 parittion - do work. :) [02:43] PC_Nerd1, now do sudo env | sort ; you'll see you're using your regular user's path rather than root's, I think [02:43] Dr_willis: kk =) [02:43] it may best to format under windows. [02:43] join /#wireshark [02:44] I just want to use my usb to have ubuntu in one partition, and other partition in fat for my regular files [02:44] Bossmanbeta: Understood. But that's the poor man's version. The only other way I know is to run multiple rtorrent instances on different ports i.e. back to square one [02:44] Dr_willis, do you know of any app that might help me with this? [02:44] danbhfive: any ideas? [02:44] danes_: well if one partition is ext2/3 or jfs or whatever linux fs, windows won't recognize it [02:45] losher, that's impractical :( but was worth fleshing out in discussion :) I am asking about this patch in #rtorrent though [02:45] akurei, yes, I know that, but the secondary partition is definitively not showing up. I want to create first two fat partitions to see if both work [02:45] powertool08: I don't think that is craigslist [02:46] have you marked it *hidden* ? [02:46] The way I [02:46] wait [02:46] MisterK1: you could test your system with gstreamer-properties I don't know otherwise. Picking a different audio device worked for me [02:46] akurei, I dont think so, I made the two partitions the exact same way, but one is not working [02:46] danes_: do you know where the hdd manager is on windows? i only know how it is called in german [02:47] would add the command for the users would be by making a launcher in the /usr/bin (and/or /usr/sbin) folder, PC_Nerd1; not sure how safe it would be, tho [02:47] somewhere on the right click menu on "My computer" [02:47] danes_, i could be wrong.. but i have seen usb thumbdrives with 2+ partitions on it. [02:47] danbhfive: I can hear audio fine from the OS itself, I've actually done Sound tests, but Skype is refusing to produce any. [02:47] danbhfive: What do you mean? According to my whois lookup it is. Do you mean its spoofed? If so, whats actually happening (port scans?) and how do I stop it? [02:47] i just installed 8.04 on a ASUS P5N7A-VM to use as a HTPC, everything went smooth until i update my nvidia drivers to current version. after that i rebooted and resolution has stayed stucked at 640x480, any thoughts on how to change resolution with this new nvidia driver. btw, my mobo is using a 9300 gpu. [02:47] Dr_willis, I know it is possible, but dont know how :( [02:48] hello all [02:48] danes_: if you find it, check if you can see it there [02:48] Bossmanbeta: In fairness, I rarely need it in practice. I occasionally suspend something using CTRL-D if it looks like it's starving the others, but otherwise I just let it get on with it... === ango is now known as anonymous [02:48] powertool08: how did you do a whois lookup? [02:48] heres an interesting question for you all about ssh [02:48] akurei, I'll try [02:48] i accedently changed the resolution to very small, super small. how can i undo that? [02:48] losher, I was about to google that... Ctrl-D pauses/unpauses a torrent line? [02:48] hi guys i need some help [02:48] powertool08: nvm, it is craigslist I suppose [02:48] how to know what is blocking my ubuntu [02:49] when that happen i need ACPI restart [02:49] danbhfive: From a terminal with "whois 208.82.236.208" since that is the destination address on most of them. [02:49] Bossmanbeta: yes, ctrl-d/ctrl-s starts and stops a particular torrent line in my version [02:49] anyways, anyone knows if I can use unetbootin to load multiple linux distributions on my usb? Any idea on what file do I need to modify to boot the images, and how? [02:49] blocking ubuntu? [02:49] well that helps losher cuz 1 torrent is sucking the other one dry and I'd prefer the 2nd finish first [02:49] i just installed 8.04 on a ASUS P5N7A-VM to use as a HTPC, everything went smooth until i update my nvidia drivers to current version. after that i rebooted and resolution has stayed stucked at 640x480, any thoughts on how to change resolution with this new nvidia driver. btw, my mobo is using a 9300 gpu. [02:49] powertool08: woo! thats allot easier than using online lookups! [02:49] i understand that you can setup a mail program to send an email every time root logs n through ssh. i was wondering if its possible to get some other kind of "alert" when anyone logs, and on a remote machine? [02:50] yup ok, so if "sudo" doesnt have the regular users path, how can I make sudo root and all regular users share the same path value? [02:50] Love UBUNTU takes some getting use too, but all and all well rounded, and Networkability AWSOME.... [02:50] any help guys? [02:50] Xintruder: CTRL+ALT+F1 - Log in - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:50] danes_, make the 2nd parittion a logical inside a exteneded perhaps.. [02:50] Bossmanbeta: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide has all the details [02:51] problem with wireless that isn't connecting for past week in hardy 8.04; router works fine with windows machine; ubuntu machine sees wireless network but something gets messed up with WEP passphrase, any clues appreciated [02:51] losher, thanks... I'm only generally familiar with the interface.. I'm using it with ssh/screen then pulling the DLed torrents over an SSHFS connection [02:51] phiqtion: ever tried nvidia-settings ? [02:51] danbhfive: Do you have any idea what all those connections are doing? They start as soon as I open firefox even if I only have one tab open with about:blank loaded and my craigslist addon uninstalled. [02:51] any1 uses pixelview tv tuner? [02:51] PC_Nerd1: sudo uses the commands stored in /usr/sbin ; so if you place a launcher for whatever command you have stored there, (I think even a soft link) it will do it. [02:51] wirelessless: edit the wireless settings and re-enter the key/passphrase [02:52] Nice to know that UBUNTU is catching on... [02:52] ##c++ [02:52] ok - im attempting to keep everything where it is, thus the path (instead ot puting a symlink in there in the first place) is there an easy file to append the global path value? [02:52] iajrz: that's not true [02:52] does anyone know how to get a verizon novatel usb760 to work in ubuntu? Doing so would further reduce my need for MS.......... [02:52] Bossmanbeta: the only other problem I've found is that when I try some of the fancier stuff in the rtorrent.rc file, specifically, automatically moving finished torrents to a different directory, I get crashes. Other than that, it's pretty solid [02:53] ezerhoden, I have tried that various times, still doesn't work. I've seen posts on ubuntu help forums about people having similar problems, but no solution (similar problems with intrepid apparently too, and 8.10, I'm still on older version), nothign changed in my system except regular auto upgrades [02:53] PC_Nerd1: what iajrz said about sudo looking in sbin is not true. it does, but not only there. everything in PATH will be looked in [02:53] ok since the guided partition doesn't work becuase it only sees my xp partition i have to use the manual and i see /dev/sda1 ntsf /dev/sda2 ext3 106MB and /dev/sda3 31gb which sda2 and sda3 must be linux how do i format them onto one partition and install ubuntu [02:54] powertool08: no, I don't know. maybe the plugin didn't uninstall well or something. I've no idea [02:54] what causes compiz.real to use 40-70% of the CPU time? [02:54] ok, so how can I get the sudo and root paths to be the same as normal users..... is there a /etc/global_path file that I can append to? [02:54] losher, does it auto-delete the DLed files if you delete the .torrent file (I have the sweep-directory for torrents and auto-activate feature ON) [02:54] wirelessless: does sudo iwconfig show the correct key? [02:54] jedi06: well, it seems like /dev/sda2 is /boot and /dev/sda3 might be / [02:54] danbhfive: Thanks for looking. Do you know of anywhere else to look for answers? [02:54] ezerhoden, i'm not sure, I'll try and check now [02:54] ok akurei do i delete those partitions? [02:54] or what === Tweak is now known as Guest8683 [02:55] PC_Nerd1: compare PATH when logged in as root and normal user [02:55] jedi06: what do you wnat to do? [02:55] install ubuntu over linux [02:55] keep xp [02:55] jedi06: delete the linux partitions? [02:55] does anyone know how to get a verizon novatel usb760 to work in ubuntu? Doing so would further reduce my need for MS.......... [02:55] jedi06: you want to install ubuntu over XP? [02:56] ezerhoden, it doesn't show any key (I'm online via ethernet. iwconfig shows the ethernet connection without key, but no other wireless extensions for lo etho0 or a third wmaster0 [02:56] NOOOO [02:56] over linux [02:56] what causes compiz.real to use 40-70% of the CPU time? [02:56] it has fedora running akurei [02:56] only difference is that root does NOT have /usr/games in its path... they both have my /usr/local/apache2/bin directory in there.. so its jsut sudo. [02:56] Bossmanbeta: well mine doesn't, because I keep the rtorrent.rc very simple. Supposedly you can configure this but I opted for stability over features :-( [02:56] jedi06: well for starters: ubuntu IS linux, but well you should delete /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 via livecd [02:56] heatmzzr: this is a usb adapter for verizons wireless internet service ? [02:57] though sudo echo $PATH does have my custom directory. [02:57] i can delete it from the installation disk [02:57] akurei i have the optio [02:57] ezerhoden: yeah [02:57] heatmzzr: wvdial [02:58] jedi06: then use the installer and manually create 3 partitions: 1) ext2 100MB for /boot 2) ext3 about 5GB for / 3) ext3 the rest for /home [02:58] PC_Nerd1: okay, so you can run it as root, but not as normal user? [02:58] heatmzzr: i think wvdialconf will try and set it up automatically [02:58] ezerhoden: ubuntu doesnt recognize modem?? im kinda new to this device and kinda dumb bout linux [02:58] how do i get rid of m [02:59] m? [02:59] akurei: why a boot partition? is there hardware that still requires one? [02:59] ignore last statement i answerd it myself [02:59] I can run it as both, but I cannot run it as sudo, thus making me su - whenever I want to run it (it needs sudo to run because it make_sock etc. [02:59] heatmzzr: mine worked, just pluged it in and copied my wvdial.conf over from other laptop [02:59] carl-m: if he wants to encrypt his system later on, he does not need to reinstall the system [03:00] I suppose [03:00] heatmzzr: run wvdial and see if it finds it. if it does, you are very close [03:00] does anyone know if there is away to add more effects into the compiz settings manager [03:00] can you post your sudoers via query PC_Nerd1 ? [03:00] heatmzzr: sorry wvdialconf [03:00] akurei why ext2 for the /boot [03:00] you mean pastebin it? [03:00] it has ext3 previously [03:00] jedi06: dunno, kinda preference [03:00] what might be good to add animated gif + overdub --> flash? [03:00] how do i get my Ubuntu to run Skype and b2kskype to run on startup? [03:00] jedi06: could use ext3 though. but i don't see the need for a journaled fs on /boot [03:01] PC_Nerd1: yup [03:01] oh hang on.. I think it is in my sudoers hang on ( I reinstalled last night) let me try and fix this [03:01] well i don't know if i want to procede becuase it might write over my ntfs [03:01] jedi06: just leave /dev/sda1 untouched [03:01] why doesn't it see the whole disk in the guided partition [03:01] jedi06: but you should ALWAYS make backups dude [03:02] jedi06: guided is bad... it screwed my disk once [03:02] jedi06: use manual: just check that there's no checked box on /dev/sda1 [03:02] ezerhoden:heatmzzr@HeatMzzr-Laptop:~$ wvdialconf [03:02] Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

[03:06] Melik: /etc/sudoers [03:06] Melik: /etc/sudoers [03:06] PC_Nerd1: Changes to sudoers are effective the next time you use sudo [03:06] thanks carl-m and akurei [03:06] udevtest isn't provided by the udev package? what gives? [03:06] anyone here tried installing amazonmp3 on x64 without a chroot? [03:06] Melik: edit it via visudo only === b-man is now known as FireFox [03:06] yeah akurei will do [03:06] aight [03:06] ok gotta drop to root shell [03:06] brb [03:07] <_Vi_> akurei: what happens if you use gedit instead to edit sudoers file? [03:07] ff [03:07] _Vi_: man visudo [03:07] _Vi_: dunno, never tried that. not that adventurous. but it says you should use visduo. [03:08] I jsut use nano [03:08] hoi [03:08] <_Vi_> ah, well i'd never use anything else besides Vi i was just curious [03:08] well, that works too if you don't need locking and don't munge the syntax [03:09] does anybody here know how to install Counter Strike 2D? [03:09] what name are the ttf fonts packages installed under [03:09] Can anyone tell me why this is not working? "chsh -s /usr/bin/fish" [03:09] <_Vi_> the M$ ones cjae ? [03:09] cjae: ttf-foo [03:10] I took a pvr card out of my ubuntu 804 box and now all i get is a white screen [03:10] carl thanks [03:10] does anyone know of a place to get screensavers [03:10] akurei do i use primary or logical for the new partitions [03:11] jedi06: use primary for /boot. the rest is logical [03:11] i tried gnome-look but they do not have any [03:11] though i do thing that /boot 'could' be on logical, too [03:11] -thing + think [03:11] and that is ext2 [03:11] y [03:11] can someone pls tell me how to do this: I got a script that's on my server. I am logged in via ssh and want to start the script. it does start without problems, but when i end my ssh connection, my script stops, and it shouldn't. I want it to keep running after logout. Appending '%' does not work either. Any suggestions? Shell is bash [03:11] I took a pvr card out of my ubuntu 804 box and now all i get is a white screen. anyone know what i need to do? [03:12] pvr? [03:12] ok so what is the difference in primary and logical [03:12] !screen | akurei [03:12] akurei: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [03:12] jedi06: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_partition#PC_BIOS_partition_types [03:12] ive just made my user ALL=(ALL) ALL however sudo env | sort outputs a path without the custom directory in it.... weird? [03:12] akurei, scree, or the 'nohup' command. [03:13] jedi06: short: primary : max 4 partitions logical: more.... long: see wikipedia [03:13] akurei, screen, or the 'nohup' command. can let it continue running. [03:13] akurei, herm, it used to say more. You can run screen on the remote machine; it allows you to 'detach' from it, leaving processes running, and exit ssh. [03:13] When I try to adjust my appearance through system->preferences->appearance, I get the following message: Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. [03:13] so i type screen and it's awright? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:13] akurei: then you detatch the screen with control-a control-d [03:14] when you want to re-attach you type screen -raAd [03:14] Dr_willis, you've used screen a lot more than me, you can probably give a 25word clear description [03:14] k, and nohup ?

[03:14] as man nohup says, "nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty" [03:15] i read man nohup like 60 minutes ago [03:15] it seemed the wrong command for that kind of action [03:15] i think i was wrong [03:15] some help http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108846/ [03:15] nohup command [03:15] please [03:15] exit. [03:15] if i recall right [03:15] akurei: if you will never need to send additional input, nohup is fine. if you have to keep going back to send input, use screen [03:15] or disown after running a command, then exit [03:16] akurei, screen is too handy to not learn about. :) it has so many usses heh [03:16] nikrud, though, disown doesn't necessarily make the job immune to SIGHUPs [03:16] carl-m: alright. it's for streamripper. i wrote a script that rips my fav stream, then tar.7z's it and uploads it to my rapidshare.com premium account each hour [03:17] unop, but for the purpose? [03:17] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108848/ thats my suders. im running as user jack, both jack and root can "run" apachectl, but sudo doesnt know the command, its not in its path ( which ive placed in teh /etc/bash.bashrc) any suggestions? [03:17] akurei: that you should just put in a crontab [03:17] i did [03:17] then you don't need to run it by hand, so no issue with ssh hangups [03:17] anacron /etc/cron.hourly [03:17] it's all set [03:17] nikrud, i guess it works .. depends on which process becomes the parent of the job then i think [03:17] but i need to start streamripper =) [03:18] unop, why I mentioned screen above: but with talk of nohup I was kinda wondering [03:18] the crontab can't start it? [03:18] i ln -s'd it to /etc/rc3.d/ but i did not want to reboot my server [03:18] of course it does, but i got 2 seperate scripts [03:18] one for zipping and uploading [03:18] one for ripping the stream [03:18] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108846/ [03:19] HELP! [03:19] PC_Nerd1, use the full path or add an alias for the command. [03:19] guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts? [03:19] nikrud, i'm not sure .. but i think with disown the parent of the shell i.e. gnome inherits the children when the shell exits .. in which case, if the user logged out (gnome terminated) the children would recieve the SIGHUP [03:19] hmm akurei it is complaining about a swap space [03:19] nikrud, screen would be quite the perfect solution here, methinks [03:20] unop, more than I knew before and a testable hypothesis. thanks [03:20] how do I "use the full path or add an alias for the command" Id prefer to have sudo have the same PATH value as all other users, so how can I acheive that? [03:20] using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, i am trying to get my windows mobile smartphone to to sync aka activesync with evolution , anyone have any pointers ? [03:20] jedi06: add a swap partition, as well, unless you're really short on disk space [03:20] carl-m how big what type etc [03:20] PC_Nerd1, it's not sudo, the user must have the same path as the root user. [03:21] PC_Nerd1: it's not really secure to use PATH [03:21] guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts? [03:21] jedi06: same size as your RAM, and type 'swap' [03:21] carl-m my ram might change in the future [03:21] they do, jack and root share an identical path. sudo doesnt. [03:21] carl-m: did i do it rite? : nohup ./streamripper_rip_stream > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & [03:21] jedi06: it won't hurt anything [03:22] when I su - and echo$PATH, its the same output as a normal user (jack) however root doesnt have /usr/games thats the only difference. [03:22] ok carl-m what type ext3? [03:22] logical [03:22] jedi06: for swap space, the type is 'swap' [03:22] akurei: seems ok [03:22] Can I hold only the current upgrade? I don't want the package to miss the upgrade that supersedes the current (broken) one [03:22] didn't see that [03:22] andi [03:22] aight, thx [03:23] ok should i put it at the end as location or beginning [03:23] !xubuntu [03:23] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [03:23] ps aux | grep streamripper is fine, too [03:23] I mean, I want to skip the broken upgrade [03:23] i think i want it at end [03:23] can grub boot from an extended linux partition? [03:23] jedi06: won't be a big difference for practical purposes [03:23] i want my other partitiong together [03:23] logical or primary [03:24] Hello I have a box that's running Ubuntu Server and when I ssh into it from this machine it takes 55secs to get the password promt also it lags every few minues [03:24] minutes* [03:24] I did ssh -v it hangs on debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received [03:24] dont know about the lag, but it sounds like reverse dns issue for login prompt lag [03:24] jedi06: logical for swap [03:24] ok [03:24] How can I scp the output of a program to a remote host without saving to the disk? [03:25] Anyone know where i can get drivers for the belkin 802.11g usb wireless ? [03:25] PC_Nerd1, either use sudo -E or remove the env_reset option in the sudoers file. === bestus is now known as rangga [03:25] lfaraone: pipe it to ssh and run cat on the other end [03:25] Reverse dns issue sorry I got a d/c [03:25] carl-m i said 512 for swap and it gave 509 [03:26] my DNS is set to my router 192.168.1.1 [03:26] carl-m: ok. [03:26] jedi06: that's ok [03:26] carl-m: thanks. [03:26] well why did it do that [03:26] I'm just trying to run ssh over a local network [03:26] no problem. you probably want to have ssh keys set up so you don't have to type a passphrase [03:26] anyone know the advantages and disadvantages of using IPv6? [03:27] I ran sudo ufw allow 22 but I still can't get it to stop laging [03:27] g2g2bed [03:27] bye every1 [03:27] how do i install cinelerra [03:28] i am new to ubuntu [03:28] cdenny: http://cinelerra.org/docs.php [03:28] hmm on my last partition for /home it doesn't ask me if i want logical or primary [03:28] Would it help if I used opendns? [03:28] apt-get install cinelerra [03:28] jedi06: You probably used up your four. [03:28] cdenny: sudo apt-get install cinelerra [03:28] if its in the repositories [03:28] ok, i commented out "defaults env_reset" however it doesnt work still. [03:28] gonewestcoast so do i have to redo everything [03:29] evilGUI_: no, that isn't the dns issue they mean [03:29] I guess its easier to jsut symlink afterall :P [03:29] jedi06: What're you attempting to do? [03:29] PeoplesAdvocate, that's a question for #networking .. but http://www.blurtit.com/q570064.html and http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/01/advantages-of-ipv6-next-generation.html [03:29] evilGUI_: I don't know why it's lagging, sorry [03:29] well install ubuntu === anonymous is now known as ango [03:29] this might be a pretty bad question haah but how would i detect a new piece of hardware on ubuntu server? [03:30] yes there is now 5 sda's [03:30] I am behind a WRT54G could that cause it? [03:30] I forgot my Ubuntu admin password..anything I could do? [03:30] under /dev/sda [03:30] evilGUI_: you said this is all local machines? [03:30] everything is connected to that [03:30] carl-m: Yes [03:30] then no, that is unlikely to be the problem [03:30] what should i do now? [03:30] jedi06: what other OS's do you have? any? [03:30] PeoplesAdvocate: thank you, so after I get a "package" for something I do sudo apt-get install "name of stuff"? [03:30] i have XP on /dev/sda1 [03:31] and i'm installing ubuntu over fedora [03:31] Hey guys! I have an issue I have a Windows Vista / Ubuntu 8.10 dual-boot system, but when I boot into Windows and reboot back into Ubuntu, there I get an error that says something to the extent of "ACPI" "Status C" Then my motherboard won't stop beeping, until I reboot, but once I reboot it's fine. [03:31] jedi06: and you don't already have a seperate home, right? [03:31] no i need to make one [03:31] that is the 5th [03:32] codename: sounds like a flaw in one of the drivers, I've heard of similar things [03:32] is it easy to run a small dns server in order to be able to create subdomain.localhost, and only to have it have the localhost records etc? ie - have an internal DNS and an external DNS all defined in the one network? (simple home network, one router/modem etc) [03:32] jedi06: here's what I have set up. delete your fedora partition altogether [03:32] i can make home first before i make the swap [03:32] lifenova i already did that [03:32] Yeah, I don't see what could be causing that though. [03:32] jedi06: then make an extended of about 20 gig [03:32] PC_Nerd1: usually you use /etc/hosts [03:32] I have a USB headset, that was plugged in, then I unplugged it and rebooted back into Ubuntu [03:32] That might have caused it [03:32] Not sure, the USB headset might be a factort [03:32] for what lifenova [03:32] jedi06: in the extended, make one for your root filesystem, and then your swap [03:33] codename: probably the Windows driver is leaving the chip in a state that the linux driver doesn't expect [03:33] jedi06: and then make a primary for home [03:33] ah ok- so that will let me define additional locations? (I want to have sort of a private DNS to my network in order to "image" another server, so that subdomains and vhosts on apache can remain the same/similar [03:33] in my resolv.conf I have domain domain.invalid and search domain.invalid [03:33] Yeah probably, so when I boot back into Windows, which is rarely, you think I should just shut down, then turn my computer on again? [03:33] carl-m are you using wikipedia servers? [03:33] PC_Nerd1: man -s 5 hosts [03:33] ok ty [03:33] cdenny: using them? [03:33] 20gb for root and swap i have about 30gb total [03:34] n=cbm@wikipedia/cbm [03:34] cdenny: yeah, but you have to know if its in there, I usually do sudo apt-cache search (name of package), to see if its there [03:34] jedi06: sorry, 5 gig is about the bare min I'd say for root, but you can give more to let it have more to breathe. I misspoke when I said 20 [03:34] PeoplesAdvocate: ok thanks [03:35] ok how do you make an extended partition [03:35] jedi06: should be an option in gparted [03:35] Can I delete those? [03:35] PeoplesAdvocate: uhoh error! [03:36] nope I'm using the installation ubuntu disk [03:36] jedi06: Choose 'Local' to make an extended partition [03:36] cdenny: error? [03:36] PeoplesAdvocate: since Im on a virtual machine I believe my vram is too low :( [03:36] there is no local [03:36] you mean logical [03:36] PeoplesAdvocate: i g2g and change the vmx files. [03:37] jedi06: Logical. Sorry [03:37] guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts? [03:37] what command can i run to output whether my system is 32bit or 64bit? [03:37] Aleran: sudo lshw [03:38] Aleran: uname -a [03:38] Aleran: also try: grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo [03:38] Aleran: dmesg [03:39] Aleran: there are two issues: 1. what processor you have 2. what kernel you are running [03:39] Aleran: file $BINARY [03:39] dayo you mean make a new partition for /dev/sda the root sda [03:39] awesome [03:39] jedi06: what are u trying to do? [03:39] thanks dayo, carl-m, gonewestcoast [03:39] Aleran: /proc/cpuinfo will tell you the cpu. uname -a will tell you the kernel [03:39] Aleran: u're welcome :-( [03:39] how can i detect new hardware + load modules? [03:39] install ubuntu i will have more that 4 partitions so i have to make one extended [03:39] Aleran: typo. that's :-) [03:40] lol [03:40] i need a / /boot /home swap and there is one for ntfs my XP partition [03:40] jedi06: what are the partitions u want to have? [03:40] carl-m, cool. I was looking for kernel but thanks for the info. [03:40] jedi06: wait, swap should be logical so you'd have exactly 4 [03:41] jedi06: i would make /boot and /home primary. then / and swap logical [03:41] ok i'm starting over [03:41] If I have an NVidia GeForce 7600 GS, and I want to enable my framebuffer, should I uncomment 'vesafb' or 'nvidiafb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer ? [03:41] jedi06: the main point is, don't delete your existing ntfs partition [03:42] i'm not [03:42] make a big partition for /root, maybe 8gb, a swap partition, and put the rest in /home [03:42] if you need to make some of them logical partitions, make home and swap logical [03:43] jedi06 you can take all of the space left from your ntfs, make it one big extended and place all of your partitions swap etc in the logical [03:45] hello i just installed Ubuntu with the wubi-installer [03:45] now when i boot ubuntu my screen appears big [03:45] how can i change it so the screen-resolution or w/e is a little smaller?

[03:47] you_had_me you can increase font sizes in system -> preferences -> appearance [03:47] i am getting an error from setting up a share using cifs i read somewhere (4got) that cifs is "dgraded" what can i use instaed of cifs [03:47] anyone got distcc working on ubuntu? [03:48] you_had_me: is the problem that the resoltion is too high, or too low? [03:48] It appears to be running according to ps [03:48] antiver not the font size but the desktop its self is to big [03:48] and nmap on the server finds it, but not from the client [03:48] can someone please recommend a program that i can use to moniter and change my fan speed? [03:48] on my other dell pc it was way smaller [03:48] you_had_me: you can lower the resolution in system->preferences->screen resolution [03:48] you_had_me i know what you're actually looking for, but i can't remember what its called.. :( [03:49] dot pitch? no.. [03:49] ok thank you carl-m [03:49] thank you for trying antiver [03:49] !cifs [03:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs [03:50] increasing from the default resolution is harder. when I installed I had to edit xorg.conf to set the hsync and vsync for my monitor [03:50] hm [03:50] you_had_me GOT IT! [03:50] yeah when i installed the desktop was so big it even said "auto-adjust" but that could be my monitor [03:50] yippie ;] [03:50] go to page where you can change font sizes [03:51] hit Details... [03:51] and change the dots per inch setting [03:51] hmm ok i will try that :D [03:51] antiver: you want that to match the actual dpi of your monitor [03:51] that's designed to adjust it so that a 72 point font appears as exactly 1 inch on your screen (that's the standard size) [03:51] hmm [03:52] well, it measures the number of pixels per inch [03:52] oh and is "MythUbunutu" worth trying? [03:52] carl-m yeah, it should match what your monitor is designed for, but if you want it bigger than what it should be, that's how you can tweak it [03:52] you_had_me: Its one of the easiest ways of getting MythTV working.

[04:08] I've lost my video settings, my wireless setup and my default panel [04:08] Well I have no way to install you_had_me , I have a Netbook and I don't own an external CD drive.

[04:37] binarymutant: im not comparing anything [04:38] Flannel, alternate... thanks === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [04:38] XDS2010: a support question would entail that you've install or trying to install ubuntu and are having some sort of an issue with it. [04:38] XDS2010, your asking for a comparison [04:38] TheFunkbomb: have you installed or configured routing or a firewall on your computer? [04:38] bonez451: Since XDS2010 is asking that question..Could you please answer what is the difference between uBuntu and Fedora [04:38] binarymutant: im asking a legit support question [04:38] Jatinder, XDS2010:Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for support only, not discussion questions. [04:38] Why is ubuntu better [04:38] jedi06: if you don't have problem with the idea of proprietary drivers, you can install them via... uh,I forgot. [04:38] Scubidus: please don't PM me, keep te discussion here. [04:38] XDS2010: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:38] XDS2010, you trolling? because it's really not support [04:38] carl-m, I have two I guess. One is on my router. I believe that is set up correctly. I also have the ufw set up too [04:38] XDS2010: actually it isn't; slackware is ask there and you would actually get an enthusiastic answer btw [04:39] !ot | XDS2010 [04:39] XDS2010: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:39] Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware [04:39] ubuntu is a debian derived flavor while fedora stems from redhat... another flavor of linux [04:39] Hmm, I wonder if I can delete the pre-stored settings about window size and all that jazz. [04:39] Now, moving along... [04:39] * werdnum looks [04:39] I apologize..i didn't know that... [04:39] TheFunkbomb: you don't need any firewall software on your ubuntu installation - and the default install has none [04:39] yes i know that but in the mean time ok do i get it to boot into the desktop [04:39] Jatinder: how's that for an answer? === evilGUI_ is now known as evilGUI [04:39] Jatinder: No problem. That's why we told you :) [04:39] Okay, I edited what looked like a wrong default screen resolution in xorg.conf [04:39] carl-m, then I will disable the ubuntu one [04:39] thanks [04:39] hi all [04:39] bonez451: Thanks..nice... [04:39] now i know why i use other platforms :) [04:40] jedi06: System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager [04:40] Jatinder: do I have it fairly close? [04:40] i can't get to the desktop [04:40] hooray! [04:40] its best to stay away from the mainstream [04:40] TheFunkbomb: I was confused because most people will not install any firewall on their ubuntu system, so they only have router problems [04:40] just a blank peach screen. [04:40] how do you change the background on ubuntu?? [04:40] carl-m, thank you and welcome to my friends list. People who have reliable info are added [04:40] * Gnea sighs [04:40] Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware [04:40] yoyit2, right click on the desktop [04:40] !pm [04:40] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:40] bonez451: It does help..I have been using Linux off and on from quite a while..and I am taking this course at my college which is specific to Fedora development.. [04:41] binarymutant: how do you right click? [04:41] ok i'm stuck here [04:41] Gnea: That's not necessary, nor useful. The party involved already left. [04:41] yoyit2, lol your funny [04:41] how do i do hardware detection on ubuntu server? [04:41] easteregg: what sort of hardware? [04:41] netcard [04:41] binarymutant: haha.. jk jk [04:41] okay, resolution fix. Now, how can I restore default GNOME panel? [04:42] how to start and stop pulse-audio? [04:42] or will I have to "rebuild" it [04:42] easteregg: it isn't picked up on boot? if not, you can try inserting the module by hand [04:42] Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware [04:42] !resetpanel | Fezzler [04:42] Fezzler: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:42] if that works, you can add the module to the list of ones that are inserted after boot [04:42] !repeat | Neros [04:42] Neros: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:42] carl-m: how would i know which module it is.. where do i search for modules and their corresponsding hardware [04:43] Neros: you could just copu the files. or you could use dpkg --get-selections. there are other ways, too [04:43] Neros: hrm... you could probably use rsync [04:43] easteregg: search gogle for "linux driver" and your card name/model [04:43] yes i need some help here why is it all i see is a blank peach screen [04:43] i just installed ubuntu [04:43] carl-m not all the installed software came from an apt.... [04:43] jedi06: did the hard drive light stop blinking? [04:44] "command not found" [04:44] i cant mount my external ntfs harddrive using ntfs-3g [04:44] yes gnea [04:44] Gnea you mean use rsync to do a network install? [04:44] Neros: you can just tar everything up and move it that way [04:44] Neros, thers some method to do that.. but ive never done it.. somthing like googling for 'linux live scripts' may find the tools i saw ages ago [04:44] Can somebody help me, I've just installed kde nightly and now, instead of sound, I ge a crackling noise [04:44] Hiyo, I finally got my webcam working in mplayer, Cheese, and ekiga. is there a way to make it work with Flash and Facebook too? [04:44] biouser: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [04:44] gnea i saw a brief message first time i booted about enabling drivers that are not free [04:44] Neros, or you could use mondo/mindo to backup the server to dvd/iso files and restore from them [04:44] Neros: no no - boot up a livecd on the 'final hardware', then use rsync to copy the system from the virtual machine across the network to the destination drive [04:44] oops [04:44] Neros: there is also a program dpkg-repack or similar [04:44] sorry [04:45] TheMusicGuy, what do you mean make your webcam work with flash? === nia is now known as vani [04:45] it's not hard to make your own .deb files if you don't need them to be very robust [04:45] jedi06: I guess what I'm asking is, does it ever give you the option to login? === vani is now known as vniow [04:45] syockit that hasn't been reliable [04:45] yes this is after i log in [04:45] ok but what about problems with hardware on the new machine.... [04:45] can you guys see my rules? [04:45] it give me a blank peach screen [04:45] binarymutant: when you right-click on a flash applet and go to settings there is a tab for webcam access [04:45] jedi06: and never anything else? [04:45] never [04:46] jedi06: do you have another user account on the system? [04:46] TheMusicGuy, let me check if my cam works with facebook, do you have flash installed? [04:46] yes [04:46] gconftool --recursive-unset: command not found [04:46] it looks like it tries to load something with the curser wait but it will go away and then i will be stuck here at a blank screen [04:46] I am trying to mount an old ubuntu install as a secondary drive in a new machine, so I can pull data off it. [04:46] http://pastebin.com/d6cb6e471 [04:46] i just installed ubuntu i did a manual partitioning [04:47] biouser: there's also sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio force-stop [04:47] can somebody help me with a sound problem after installing KDE? [04:47] I think /dev/hdc is the old ubuntu install, it appears to be an LVM parittion. [04:47] Do I need to do osmething funky to mount it? [04:47] jedi06: okay, but did you ever make more than 1 regular user account? [04:47] after enabling restricted drivers on a 9300 GPU, i restart to a black screen, any thoughts? [04:47] how can i put mp3s on my phone through usb on xubuntu? [04:47] biouser: Might want to try that before restarting the daemon [04:47] Oh i imported docs and setting from XP that is all i did [04:47] puff: what problem are you having with it? [04:47] BellinXFelon: depends on the phone [04:48] syockit I think there are stop and start too but they don't seem to work as expected like a reboot [04:48] I am on jaunty though [04:48] jedi06: it's just a simple 'yes' or 'no' question... [04:48] carl-m: Well, given the paste, what -t arg do I use with mount? [04:48] What do you mean a regualar account i just made mine [04:48] big hope for pulse audio in jaunty [04:48] TheMusicGuy, srry I cant find my webcam :( [04:48] its a sony ericson [04:48] biouser: force-stop should kill all pulseaudio daemon [04:48] jedi06: probably ext2 will work. you can't hurt anything by guessing the fs type [04:48] biouser: what are you trying to achieve anyway [04:49] ok guys thanks for the help on the thing... i think ill just do a fresh install and configure.... rsync is way more work than actually installing LAMP+Webmin and migrating my sql and htdocs [04:49] what carl-m [04:49] jedi06: Linux is, by default, a multi-user operating system. Ubuntu provides the ability to make multiple user accounts, both at installation time and later on once the system is up and running. [04:49] is any particular VJM more likely to be able to have access to webcam? [04:49] well i just made one [04:49] er, JVM [04:49] jedi06: you can also run file -s /dev/hdc1 [04:49] which will tell you the type [04:49] has pulseaudio or alsa had problems after installing KDE before? [04:49] jedi06: so you're saying that te answer is 'no'? [04:49] no [04:49] syockit it *might* not be pulse audio but frequently my sound will go down I need to write a script to really kill everything and really start everything [04:49] so it's yes? [04:50] I suppose [04:50] jedi06: sorry [04:50] answer is no [04:50] puff: you can just guess a type, or use file -s /dev/hdc1 [04:50] carl-m: http://pastebin.com/d212cdb92 [04:50] ./sound-restart-for-real-all.sh [04:50] TheMusicGuy : can you access the webcam in a program like vlc or something similar? should be able to open a video stream from /dev/v4l2 or something alon those lines [04:50] jedi06: geez, why didn't you just say so in the first place? okay, can you drop to a console and login and make another account that way? [04:50] puff: you need to mount /dev/hdc1 [04:50] how do you drop to a console [04:51] Neros: I use Cheese [04:51] puff: or /dev/hdc3 [04:51] it works fine [04:51] jedi06: ctrl-alt-F1 [04:51] carl-m: Ah, cool, that owrked. [04:51] but you cannot mount /dev/hdc [04:51] Neros: I think my device is /dev/video0 [04:51] TheMusicGuy ok try to get a video stream from /dev/v4l/video0 or /dev/video0 [04:51] rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel < yes i can log in Gnea [04:51] syockit: / biouser: restarting pulseaudio via the initscript by default does nothing, because by default we ship per-user session invocation of the daemon. [04:51] dtchen exactly [04:51] TheMusicGuy if you can.... it should just work in flash [04:51] question about WUBI. why does it only allow a 30 GIG image partition ... [04:52] biouser: what's the symptom you're experiencing? [04:52] dtchen: btw is everything under pa? [04:52] Neros: what does that mean? what do I do with the /dev file? [04:52] Gnea now what [04:52] anyone know how tshark and tcpdump compare? [04:52] syockit: Ubuntu, yes [04:52] other than 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' how does a system know what to include in xorg.conf? [04:52] how do I restore original gnome panel in Hardy [04:52] !users | jedi06 [04:52] jedi06: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [04:52] dtchen: I see. I know nothing but phonon :) [04:52] Can some one help me i can get me video graphics from low to HIGH [04:52] TheMusicGuy open your video stream viewer and see if you can get a video stream from /dev/video0 [04:52] jedi06: check that website out, it will tell you the exact procedure to add another user [04:52] what are you saying then it doesn't work becuase i didn't make 2 users [04:53] syockit: Phonon is happy to use pulse; it does in jaunty (i'm using it presently) [04:53] dtchen just often I will try to push things past the limit like trying to play sound through firefox with Jack on and recording a screencast or something ridiculous and my sound goes down too hard that all I can do is reboot because I can find the scripts to restart everything [04:53] jedi06: the idea is to see if the settings you imported from XP had a nasty effect ont he desktop of the system [04:53] *can not find the scripts to restart all sound services [04:53] That has to be it, I thought it was just going to let me see the files [04:53] like mount the ntfs file system [04:53] biouser: that's because not everything in Ubuntu universe is configured to use pulse [04:54] but it took forever [04:54] dtchen indeed [04:54] jedi06: in theory, it should. but for some reason, something is causing a problem. [04:54] ok Gnea what happens if that is the case [04:54] do i need to reinstall ubuntu [04:54] dtchen so I need the most convenient ways to work around.. it looks like 9.04 will be better though [04:54] biouser: jackd and pulseaudio both really only work effectively when they grab raw hw:* [04:54] carl-m: Okay, so /dev/hdc1 mounts ifne as ext3, but that's grub, vm, etc. hdec2 is the boot partition so that doesn't buy me much. sudo file -s /dev/hdc5 gets me: /dev/hdc5: LVM2 (Linux Logical Volume Manager) , UUID: r2qPJg6voPhTQpF5MiN2ZUvEHUiI4AV [04:54] can someone tell me how to make a usb bootable for windows7 install? [04:55] carl-m: So... how do I mount that? [04:55] jedi06: no, but you can find out what's going on by looking at the ~user/.xsession-errors file to see what's causing the problem [04:55] dtchen right, but I can run jack on top of PA just not with other PA stuff and I have to stop PA for somethings and can't do certain chores that I would like to simultaneously.. but how do you start and stop PA anyways? [04:55] micron122 this is a linux discussion.... your question appears to be about windows only.... [04:56] I've tried everything I could find to enable direct rendering for my ATI card, but to no success. Anybody able to help? [04:56] jedi06: if it's something from the XP profile that's goofing things up, then it won't matter how many times you reinstall and import - the problem will be there each and every time [04:56] I mean I can kill the process [04:56] carl-m: I guess more importantly, what are the odds I'll be able to mount that on this machien (centos 5.2)? [04:56] I need to install the iso onto usb from linux [04:56] but then if I want to go back to having PA ... [04:56] without rebooting [04:56] Neros: it works now...not sure why [04:56] micron122 oh ok thats a horse of a diffrent color... you should read into the command dd [04:57] ok [04:57] jedi06: by making another user to test it with, and by examining ~/.xsession-errors, you can determine where the problem is and solve it, thus getting the desktop of your main user to show up [04:57] brb [04:57] micron122: google unetbootin === zelrikriando is now known as David_Hahn [04:57] unomi: i thought unetbootin was for linux [04:57] biouser: pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D -vv [04:58] biouser: how well jack and pulse play together in jaunty depends on jack's MIR [04:58] so unetbootin will mount any iso to usb? [04:58] micron122: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [04:58] yeah [04:58] many dists [04:58] well damn [04:58] is it true that the ubuntu "bash" isnt really bash? isnt it d-dash or something? [04:58] i used it many times [04:58] slick as hell [04:58] puff: I never used lvm, look at http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Mounting_a_Linux_LVM_volume.html [04:59] unomi he is trying to write a windows7 iso to a usb drive.... unetbootin wont work [04:59] rebel_gui: dash is used as the sh. [04:59] how do I check to see what packages are inatalled (CLI) [04:59] AphisOne: What do you want to do with the list? [04:59] Neros: ya i think it loads a linux launcher [04:59] syockit, so if i execute /bin/bash it will truly execute bash. but if i execute /bin/sh it executes dash? [04:59] AphisOne, aptitude shows it [04:59] Flannel: less [05:00] AphisOne: dpkg -l | less [05:00] is there a channel for wubi ??? [05:00] micron122 not the installer... just the actual operating system [05:00] thanks Flannel [05:00] rebel_gui: yup [05:00] fixed === sleepy_cat is now known as dragon_flam [05:00] Neros: ahh sorry [05:00] <\kira> how much space should /boot have. 8 gigs would be more than enough, right? [05:00] Now if I could only sync my Palm m500 with Ubuntu! [05:00] Neros: I tried to load mbr but that was not enough [05:00] micron122: ask in #windows-help or whatever it is [05:01] \kira: 1GB is more than enough for /boot [05:01] dtchen cool, thanks, I was just adjusting the max_client_size of my site so that I can upload mp3 big enough that I recorded first with ardour and then turned pulse-audio off to deal with the sounds in audacity... audacity really needs to get it's act together with PA and Jack [05:01] <\kira> carl-m: I see, thanks [05:01] unomi micron122 needs help with the linux command dd.... im writing it out for him as we type [05:01] carl-m: I can't get past the second command in there, it says "mount /dev/hda /tmp/mnt" and doesn't specify a -t, when I leave out -t mount comiplains. [05:01] syockit, alright. im just trying to debug why ubuntu "bash" doesnt exec a bash script correctly but crux, centOS, mac OSX and freeBSD "bash" do just fine [05:01] ok, ill stay out of it hten :) [05:01] unomi: the problem is that i need to us linux to load the usb... no win installed yet [05:02] micron122 the command you need should me something like dd --if=your_iso.iso --of=/dev/(usbdrive) make sure you use the whole usb drive that way the bootsector is written too [05:02] dtchen E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory [05:02] rebel_gui: Because dash is the default shell. If you have a script that wants bash, put bash in the shebang instead of sh. [05:02] ok i try to login with the other user says There is a problem with the configuration server (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) Gnea [05:02] flannel, the shebang is bash [05:02] rebel_gui: s/shell/script thing/ [05:02] carl-m: ah-hah: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=45 [05:02] puff: apparently you need to use the commands 'pvs' and 'lvdisplay' to see the names of the volumes [05:02] nero that will make it bootable? [05:02] rebel_gui: Then bash should be running the script. [05:02] how can i fix overscan on my lcd on 8.04? [05:02] micron122 unomi the reason unetbooten wont work even though the loader is grub is because it is grub compiled as a windows executable [05:02] dtchen oh, I see the first one is to stop it :) [05:02] by chance, does anyone here use an Acer Aspire notebook? [05:02] micron122 that and using parted to flag it as active :D [05:02] micron122 should anyway [05:02] rebel_gui: What's the output of ls -l /bin/bash? [05:02] then blank peach screen plague [05:03] \kira: my /boot is 26mb [05:03] nero active or boot? [05:03] is this channel logged? [05:03] micron122 both [05:03] same right? [05:03] flannel, yes even when i specifically call bash by "bash '
